With his hands behind his back, looking at the few carp swimming back and forth in the muddy pond, Liu Wei was speechless for a long time.

Tian Feng and Fuzhi, who were standing beside him on the left and right, saw that he didn't say anything, and they didn't dare to say anything.

The order to withdraw troops from Xuanyuan Pass had been issued by Liu Wei before he came here, but he just didn't expect that Tian Fengxian's strategy was to ask him to withdraw the army from Xuanyuan Pass.

"Your Highness!" Looking at the carp swimming in the pond, a guard's voice came from behind Liu Wei: "I just got a report that General Gao Shun encountered a horse thief in Hedong!" ”

Before the battle of Guandu, there were horse thieves entering Hedong, and now it has been a long time, Gao Shun also led Yu Linwei to enter Hedong for many days, but the horse thieves have never confronted Yu Linwei.

Suddenly getting the news of the encounter between the horse thief and Yu Linwei, Liu Wei turned around violently and asked the guard who reported the news, "How is the battle going?" ”

Clenching his fists and bowing to face Liu Wei, the guard said to him: "The battle situation is unknown, and Yulinwei, who returned to Luoyang to report the news, just said that General Gao Shun had found traces of horse thieves and had surrounded them on the bank of Fenshui in Baibo Valley. ”

Liu Wei, who had led the army in Hedong and fought for many days, was no stranger to Baibo Valley and Fenshui.

In that area, once the army is besieged, it is extremely difficult to break through, as long as the army that launched the siege does not make a mistake, it is not difficult to finally annihilate the horse thieves.

Gao Shun is cautious, and Liu Wei also knows that before the horse thief is annihilated, he will definitely not rashly spread the word of victory.

Being able to send someone back to Luoyang to spread the news to contain the horse thieves in Baibo Valley, according to Gao Shun's temperament, he already has a full grasp of this battle.

Liu Wei got the news that Yulinwei in Hedong surrounded the horse thieves, and Gao Shun, who was in Hedong, felt a lot of pressure on his body at this time.

Since entering Hedong, he has been adopting various strategies to try to lure out the horse thieves and annihilate them.

The horse thieves who can be active in the Hedong area are obviously different from ordinary horse thieves, and this team is elusive and does not follow the routine of Gao Shun's plan at all.

Often Yu Linwei arrived somewhere, and the horse thieves had already finished harassing and evacuated.

After continuously pursuing Lao Yuan, when chasing to the area of Baibo Valley, Gao Shun finally led Yu Linwei and surrounded a group of horse thieves of more than 1,000 people on the bank of Fenshui.

The military camp was stationed at the mouth of the Baibo Valley, and Gao Shun pressed the long sword in his hand and stood outside the barracks, looking at the deep canyon.

The wind with a moist smell blew from Fenshui, blowing the tents in the barracks with a "bang-la-la-la" sound.

The horse thieves who were being chased by them had already entered the valley, and Gao Shun did not order Yu Linwei to chase them into the valley immediately.

This place is located on the bank of the Fenshui, and there is only one passage in the canyon, even if those horse thieves escape, they must pass under the nose of Yu Linwei.

Even if he is as steady as Gao Shun, he feels that there is not much suspense in this battle.

The 5,000-feathered forest guards were stationed outside the valley, and the soldiers did not relax at all because they had surrounded the horse thieves in the valley.

Since entering Hedong, although the Yulin guards have not had a head-to-head confrontation with horse thieves, they also have a feeling that the horse thieves they are surrounding are not ordinary thieves, but probably a well-trained army.

"Pass the order down and strictly prevent thieves from appearing around!" Looking at the valley, Gao Shun instructed a personal soldier standing behind him: "In the past few days, everyone has been waiting for the day, and don't take off their armor when they rest at night!" ”

"No!" The soldiers clasped their fists and bowed in response, turned around and ran into the barracks, conveying Gao Shun's order.

At the same time that Gao Shun ordered Yu Linwei to closely monitor the surrounding situation, in the Baibo Valley, the horse thieves who were blocked by them in the valley had also set up camp.

The leader of this team is none other than Cao Hong.

He originally led 1,500 people under his command to attack and harass the village everywhere, but what he didn't expect was that Qin Jun Yu Linwei suddenly appeared near them.

By the time Yu Linwei was found and Cao Hong wanted to withdraw immediately, Yu Linwei had already approached.

Cao Hong, who had no way out, took Cao Jun, who was disguised as a horse thief, all the way into the Baibo Valley, originally planning to ambush Yu Linwei with the help of the canyon, and then take advantage of the situation to escape, to his surprise, Yu Linwei did not follow into the valley, but trapped them in the valley.

In a clearing in the canyon, Cao Hong ordered his Cao army to be stationed on the spot.

Because of the disguise of horse thieves, they marched lightly these days, and did not even bring a tent.

Standing in the middle of the valley, looking up at the sky with only a line above his head, Cao Hong found that the color of the sky was very dark, and he was afraid that it would rain before night.

The Yulin guards who chased them carried tents, so that even if it rained heavily, the soldiers did not have to suffer from the rain.

But Cao Jun, who was trapped in the canyon, did not have such good luck.

Once the naïve is not beautiful, there is a rainstorm, and Cao Jun, who does not carry a tent at all, can only be turned into soup chickens one by one in the heavy rain.

"General!" Just as he was looking at the sky with some concern, a Cao Jun dressed in the deep clothes of the common people walked up behind Cao Hong, clasped his fists and said to him: "The one who surrounded our army is Qin Jun Yu Lin Wei!" ”

When he was chased by Yu Linwei, Cao Hong already felt that this team was very different from the main force of the ordinary Qin army.

Hearing what the Cao soldier said, his brows furrowed suddenly.

The Qin army's three guards are strong, and it has long been a recognized fact in the world.

Being chased by the Qin army's Yu Linwei and fighting with the main force of the Qin army are completely different concepts.

When Cao Hong learned that the other party was actually one of the three guards of the Qin army, he had great doubts in his heart about whether he could successfully break through this time.

Although there was a lot of uneasiness in his heart, Cao Hong did not show any expression on his face.

After all, behind him, there were 1,500 soldiers of the Cao army who followed him to Hedong.

Before the two armies went to war, the main general was the first to be timid, which was undoubtedly a devastating blow to morale.

"Pass the order, closely monitor Taniguchi, and once the Qin army enters, launch an attack immediately!" Looking at the mouth of the valley, Cao Hong instructed the soldier who had just told him that there was Yulinwei outside the valley: "I will wait to defend the valley and wait for foreign aid!" ”

"No!" The soldier answered, and turned to leave.

Although Cao Hong said that he had made a good deployment, and the team led by Cao Ren was still outside the valley.

Cao Hong believed that he was intercepted by the Qin army Yu Linwei in the Baibo Valley, and it would not take long for Cao Ren to learn the news.

It's just that he had an agreement with Cao Ren that day, if the Qin army was too strong, one of them would be intercepted, and the other would not need to come to help.

Cao Hong also had no idea whether Cao Ren would come, so he could only wait for the help to appease the soldiers under his command for the time being.

In the area of Baibo Valley, the 1,500 Cao army led by Cao Hong was surrounded in the valley by the Qin army Yu Linwei, only twenty miles away from here, a team of horse thieves had just attacked a village, and did not leave immediately, but chose to temporarily stay in the village.

In the past few days, this team has attacked and harassed the villages in Hedong, and every time they left immediately after the attack, and the soldiers were also exhausted.

Cao Ren, who led this team, chose to stay in the village in order to let the soldiers rest for a night.

Attacking Liaodong villages, Cao Ren and Cao Hong's teams did not dare to be too cruel to the people in the village.

Their attacks are much softer than those of real horse thieves.

For the men, women and children in the village, the soldiers of the Cao army under Cao Ren did not carry out a massacre, because the horse thieves attacked and disturbed Hedong for some time, as long as they did not resist, the saying that they would not kill people had long spread in Hedong.

The village, which was harassed by Cao Ren's army, took refuge in their homes when they entered the entrance of the village, and no one resisted.

After rummaging through the village and burning all the food he could find, Cao Ren ordered the soldiers disguised as horse thieves to gather the village into a few houses and lock them up.

Looking at the gray sky, Cao Ren's face was a little gloomy.

It's going to rain again!

When it rains, the ground is muddy, and even if you ride on horseback, it is extremely inconvenient to walk back and forth.

Cao Ren's biggest worry was that he would be bumped into by the Qin army on a rainy day, and it would be a little more difficult to escape in the mud than on a sunny day.

"General!" Looking at the sky with concern, Cao Jun, dressed as a horse thief, ran behind Cao Ren, clasped his fists and bowed to him and said, "The scout just brought back the news that General Cao Hong was surrounded by the Qin army in the Baibo Valley!" ”

and Cao Hong each led a group of men and horses into Hedong, in order to prevent being intercepted and killed by the Qin army, they could not take care of each other, and the two armies were not very far apart for several days.

Baibo Valley is only more than 20 miles away from the village where Cao Ren's army is stationed.

The cavalry galloped and arrived in less than half an hour.

Knowing that Cao Hong was besieged by the Qin army, Cao Ren hurriedly asked the soldier, "Do you know where the Qin army is besieging General Cao Hong?" How many centaurs are there? ”

"Return to the general!" Clenching his fists and bowing, the soldier said to Cao Hong: "The Qin army that surrounded our army has bright red feathers on its helmet......"

"Qin Jun Yu Lin Wei!" Without waiting for the soldier to finish speaking, Cao Ren was stunned, turned around suddenly, and said to the soldier: "Pass the order, let the soldiers rest well tonight, and tomorrow morning, we will rush to the aid of General Cao Hong!" ”

Although it had been discussed with Cao Hong earlier, once the two teams were surrounded by the powerful Qin army, there was no need to rush to each other's aid.

It is not the ordinary Qin army that can surround Cao Hong, and the soldiers and horses led by Cao Hong are simply vulnerable in front of Yu Linwei.

Seeing that Cao Hong was captured by the Qin army, Cao Ren really couldn't do it.

After receiving Cao Ren's orders, the soldiers who reported to him that Cao Hong was surrounded by the Qin army Yulin Wei answered, turned around and returned to the village.

The soldiers left, Cao Ren looked in the direction of Baibo Valley, his brows were tightly twisted, and an entanglement appeared on his face.

It has been many days since he came to Hedong, and all along, Cao Ren and Cao Hong have been avoiding the encirclement of the Qin army, and now Cao Hong encountered the siege for the first time, and he faced the Qin army Yu Linwei.

Whether he can successfully rescue Cao Hong, Cao Ren is really not too sure in his heart.
