The Cao camp scout hid in a deep pit in the dense forest, and the dead branches and mud and stones hid him well. His chest heaved violently, and his lungs felt like they were on fire. He endured the dizziness in his brain and all kinds of discomfort in his body, and resisted the urge to open his mouth and gasp. For fear that if it makes a little noise, it will be discovered by the Han army.

The sunlight slowly shifted, and finally disappeared without a trace. It was dark, and the scout staggered to his feet. He stabbed his knife on the ground, recognized the direction, and stumbled out of here. He first found a clean source of water, took off his robe and washed it in water, and then wiped his wounds with a clean cloth. He was injured, and although the wound is healing now, if there is blood on his body and he doesn't wash it clean, he can't resist this beast in the deep mountains and old forests alone.

After doing all this, he found a clean place and lay down. Then I started to think about today. It all happened so fast. He had already discovered the anomaly, but the captain didn't listen to him and insisted on not retreating. Even today's defeat. He smiled bitterly, and said in his heart that if he hadn't seen the opportunity early, he took advantage of the chaos to escape from the battlefield and then stayed away and hid for the first time, but he was afraid that he would not be able to escape death.

Guan Hai didn't find out that there was also a Cao Ying scout who had slipped through the net. After he had finished cleaning up the battlefield, he led his troops south. Along the way, all the terrain and pathways are recorded one by one. Where it needs to be repaired, where it needs to be widened. There was no road between the valleys. Everything has to be guided by a guide. Then, according to the terrain and local conditions, open the road and build a bridge in the mountains and water.

When Yu Ban learned that all the people and horses were buried in the valley, the anger in his chest soared a few feet high. If it weren't for the fact that the captain was already dead and was still thrown into the wild, he would have dragged the captain out and beheaded him again. Before leaving, I repeatedly told me to be careful and not to be careless. As a result, something happened, and it was caused by the insistence on not retreating after discovering the abnormality, and the greed for merit.

However, as soon as he thought that he had gotten the movement of the Han army again, the anger in Yu Ban's chest was suppressed again. He rolled his eyes, and said in his heart that his scouts fled alone, and it was estimated that the Han army did not know. Since this is the case, then it is better to plan and ambush once, so that the Han army can see my methods.

As soon as he thought of this, Yu Ban had a good impression of the scout in front of him who fled back alone. He secretly said that this person is thoughtful, and he can escape back alone, which is useful. So he said: "Although the defeat in this battle has nothing to do with you, you have committed a violation of military law by abandoning your robe and fleeing alone." Thinking of your death to get out, come and send information. This time I will spare you. I want to give you another 500 men, and I want you to go to investigate the movements of the Han army, do you dare to go? ”

The scout struggled to get rid of it, and struggled back. I didn't think that there was such a good thing waiting for me. Hearing this, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, so he hurriedly bowed: "Dare not obey your fate!" ”

So he jumped from a small soldier to a position in the army. commanded five hundred elites, rested for a while, and went to Fu Luo Road again.

Guan Hai had already come out of Youshui at this time, and he had almost touched the situation near the left. Further on, beyond Fushui, it was Fugukou, but he didn't dare to go any further. When you get there, you will gradually see people. In this case, the likelihood of them being found increases greatly. So Guan Hai stopped at Fushui, and after a few days, he led his troops all the way to the north and went back to report to Zhao Yun. No one thought that another Cao army would come, lurking not far from the Han army.

Guan Hai arrived at Zhao Yun's camp, went to see Zhao Yun, and then talked about the situation in Fu Luo Dao. Zhao Yun was overjoyed after hearing this, and said with a smile: "General Guan has worked hard. ”

So he raised the account to discuss the matter, and all the generals arrived, and Zhao Yun said that Guan Hai personally visited Fu Luo Dao. The generals were suddenly moved and asked for battle. In the end, this errand still fell on Gao Gan.

Since Gao Gan surrendered to the Han Dynasty, he has not made an inch. If this continues, Chen Liugao's family will be marginalized. How can Gao Gan be willing. This time, Liu Bei launched an unprecedented scale, and the two roads entered the southern expedition, so he invited himself to join the army. Follow the camp on the west road to attack Cao Cao.

Seeing the opportunity this time, Gao Gan naturally refused to let it go. So he stood up and argued with reason. Zhao Yun, Lu Bu, and Zhang Xiu naturally will not end up in person, but the first deputy general and others can't compete for the top cadres. In the end, Zhao Yun promised Gao to do this errand, and he led 5,000 elite soldiers to go out of Fu Luo Road and occupy Nanzheng. With Tian Yu as the deputy general, Guan Hai with the army as the vanguard guide.

Gao Gan was overjoyed, so he said to Zhao Yun: "Zilong, if I go, I will break the Cao army and wait for the army in Nanzheng." ”

Zhao Yun said with a smile: "In this way, I am here to wait for Yuan Cai's good news." ”

Gao Gan led the soldiers and horses, said goodbye to Zhao Yun and the others, and went straight to Luogu. When he came to the valley mouth, Gao Gan and the generals said: "I heard that there are many miracles in the mountains, I am here with the army today, and I should come to the valley mouth to worship the gods of mountains and rivers." "Tian Yu and Guan Hai are not allowed.

Then set up an incense case, offer three sacrifices, and put wine to sacrifice it. A strange wind blew, flying sand and stones, blowing the flag upside down, Gao Gan was overjoyed, and said left and right: "This is the response of the mountain god." ”

Before leaving, Gao Gan sat down and the horse hesitated, Gao Gan smiled: "The power of heaven and earth has not retreated, and the horse also has a spirit, don't dare to go forward?" ”

Tian Yu sighed in his heart, looked at the gloomy green valley mouth, frowned, and persuaded: "General, how about sending people to explore the truth of this valley if the army is here?" ”

Gao Gandao: "Zilong, Fengxian, Wen Jin and other generals are all waiting for me to report the victory, I should move forward bravely, how can I slack off?" ”

Guan Hai listened to Tian Yu's words beside him, and he was displeased, so he said: "Guorang thinks that I Guan Hai is old and can't understand the way?" ”

When Tian Yu heard this, he didn't dare to persuade again, so he led the army into the valley with Gao Gan and others. Guan Hai led a battalion to lead the way. After marching for several days, I saw lofty mountains and mountains, and I was full of mountains. Along the way, the mountains are high and the water is deep, and the Han army has built a camp and is stationed here. Gao Gan and Tian Yu are both people who know the soldiers, and they are also happy when they see this, knowing that this matter depends on the power of Guan Hai, so they praise Guan Hai a lot between words. But there is no hesitation about the future.

After walking for a few days, after crossing Taiyi Mountain, and arriving at the river valley, Guan Hai pointed to that piece of land, and said with his eyebrows: "Yuancai, Guorang, you see, Cao Ying's group of soldiers and horses arrived here from Nanzheng that day. was ambushed by my old manager, and a pot was rounded. Hehe, more than 500 people, none left, all buried here. The bones were fed to the great insects and beasts. ”

Tian Yu looked solemn and asked, "General Guan, has it really not escaped any of them?" ”

Guan Hai said unhappily: "That's natural, after the war, I cleaned the battlefield, searched carefully, and chased out more than ten miles, but I didn't see a single living person." Both sides are deep mountains and dangerous streams, where can you escape? ”

I don't know why, Tian Yu is always a little uneasy in his heart, although Guan Hai explained it perfectly, and according to common sense, there should be no problem. But the feeling in my heart is haunting. Tian Yu didn't dare to say it again. The two next to him, Gao Gan is eager for meritorious service, Guan Hai is extremely confident, even if he says it, these two people are afraid that they will not believe it, and they will blame him for shaking the army's heart.

What should I do? Tian Yu's brows furrowed.
