Chapter 339: Not lightly ill
Ma Jian and the others came suddenly and went even faster, less than half an hour before and after, but they gave Cao Rui a thunderous blow. They were only thirty or fifty paces away from Cao Rui, and many arrows even shot at Cao Rui's side, if it weren't for the effective protection of the Lang officials, it was difficult to say whether Cao Rui would have been shot. If he weren't surrounded by elite infantry guards with strong combat power and world-famous martial guards, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Overall, Cao Rui's performance was also remarkable, he accepted Liu Ye's suggestion and risked staying in the camp instead of retreating into Fancheng in a panic. This greatly stabilized the morale of the army and bought time for the entrenchment of the Wuwei battalion and the attack of the tiger and leopard cavalry.
Despite this, this enemy attack caused a great shock to the Wei army. First, the other party came too coincidentally, Cao Rui randomly stayed in the camp outside the city, and such a thing happened, which is really unconvincing to describe it as a coincidence. The second is that the other party is really strong, and in the face of the Wuwei Battalion, he still has a slight upper hand, even if it happens suddenly, it is enough to see that the other party is not good.
These two strange characteristics made Cao Rui suspicious, but he couldn't declare it, like a seed buried in his heart, waiting for the opportunity to sprout.
Cao Wei is full of talents, and Cao Rui's worries fell in the eyes of many people, and they were also nervous. In a way, Cao Rui is more like his grandfather Cao Cao, his scheming is deep, and when he is silent, it often means that something big is about to happen. This is beyond the reach of his father Cao Pi.
The enemy retreated too fast that even the tiger and leopard cavalry could not stop it, and the army on the south bank of the Han River had little chance. Cao Yu received the order and just walked out of the camp. The drums of war on the battlefield subsided, and when he arrived at Cao Rui's tent with the personal guard battalion, there was only a fire and a corpse in front of him. Countless soldiers silently sorted out the battlefield, setting aside the corpses of the enemy for inspection.
Cao Rui sat outside the tent, his face pale, bright and uncertain in the light of the firelight, just like his gloomy eyes. Cao Yu hurried up to meet him, and when he saw him. Cao Rui's tears finally couldn't be held back.
"Uncle Huang. Ah Shu...... He's dead. β
Cao Yu was taken aback: "The thief killed Ah Shu? β
Cao Rui shook his head in pain, tears raining down: "Ah Shu's health was not good, and she was frightened, and the result was ......"
Cao Yu was stunned for a while. A long sigh of regret. He gently patted Cao Rui's hand that was holding his arm. I don't know how to comfort Cao Rui. He is the same age as Cao Rui, and he also likes Cao Rui's children very much, but within half a year. Cao Mu and Cao Shu died one after another, and the blow to Cao Rui was too great.
The clean-up of the battlefield continued until dawn, and the results were not ideal, the number of enemy deaths was limited, and more importantly, there were almost no living ones, leaving little useful information. Judging from the equipment and clothing on their bodies, most of them are standard standard equipment, it is difficult to distinguish which country, and a small number of the war knives used are very sharp, exceeding the weapons of ordinary soldiers, but there are no inscriptions on them, and it is impossible to tell where these weapons come from.
If it is combined with the strong martial arts of those soldiers, the doubts that hang over these people will be even more confusing.
Someone noticed something weird. Cao Rui was attacked, and all the 10,000 troops in Fancheng participated in the battle, and Cao Rui mobilized Cao Yu's men and horses, but the Xiangyang garrison that was close at hand was missing. From beginning to end, he did not give the garrison of Xiangyang a single order. When Cao Yu's army passed under Xiangyang City and rushed to the pontoon bridge, Xiangyang City watched quietly, like a bystander.
At that time, the hussar general Sima Yi was not in the city, he was in his residence, wearing a single coat, listening to the shouts and killings on the other side, listening to the noisy war drums outside the city, holding a glass of wine in his hand, but he didn't drink a sip, and his mood was like ripples in the wine.
Sima Shi hurriedly showed his face, and then he didn't know what he was busy with. After dawn, he came back haggard, his eyes bloodshot, and his expression was calm and a little nervous. He gently placed a sword in front of Sima Yi.
"Father, this is the enemy's sword."
Sima Yi glanced at it, slowly put down the wine glass, took the sword, and pulled out half of it with a "click", revealing half of the bright blade. Sima Yi narrowed his eyes, slowly pulled out the battle knife, looked at it over and over for a long time, didn't say anything, but the doubt in his eyes was even stronger.
"Father, I've checked it, and there's no sign of it." Sima Shi's eyes were a little bitter: "This is also the trouble, anyone can become the object of suspicion." β
Sima Yi glanced at him, and put the knife into the sheath: "Go and ask the Peng brothers and sisters to see if this is from the Wei family." β
"Father suspects it's Wei Ba?"
"In the world, apart from the Wei family's martial arts, I really can't think of any kind of person who can fight against the Wu Wei Battalion." Sima Yi stroked his beard and was silent for a moment: "Maybe the trapping camp back then could barely do it." β
"If only Bixia seems to have decided that these people are dead."
"What kind of dead soldiers, dead soldiers would withdraw from the battlefield so easily?" Sima Yi glared at Sima Shi, "If you think Bixia thinks so, then you are underestimating him." β
Sima Shi was puzzled and looked at Sima Yi expectantly. Sima Yi sighed helplessly: "He just wants to take the opportunity to eradicate some people." Move your people to a safe place quickly, and don't show any flaws, and if there is any danger, remove them immediately. β
Sima Shi was taken aback and hurriedly bowed down to receive the order. He immediately called Peng Heng and handed him the sword.
"Go and check if this knife is from the Wei family."
"Whoa." Peng Heng picked up the war knife, turned around and went out. He returned to his residence, and as soon as he entered the door, Peng Xiaoyu, who was writing at the desk, raised his head, glanced at him, glanced at the war knife in his hand, raised the corners of his mouth, and smiled.
Peng Heng sat down beside her and placed the knife on the desk. Peng Xiaoyu put down the pen, took the war knife, caressed the simple and unpretentious scabbard, and his eyes were gentle. As soon as he saw her eyes, Peng Heng understood.
"Is it the Wei family's war knife?"
"Hmm." Peng Xiaoyu nodded: "Simple and luxurious, clever and clumsy, it is the design of the young master." β
Peng Heng reprimanded with some annoyance: "Young master, young master, you have him, a young master who is far away in the sky, in your eyes, is there no brother like me?" β
Peng Xiaoyu chuckled: "Brother sees you every day, but you can't do it if you don't want to fall in your eyes." β
Peng Heng choked and said after a while: "So you are tired of watching me?" β
"Brother." Peng Xiaoyu put down the knife and glared at Peng Heng coquettishly: "Blood is thicker than water, and the family relationship between you and me is constantly cut, why do you bother to treat his anger?" No matter how I say it, he is also my life-saving benefactor, I read his kindness and talk to him a few more times, what's wrong? β
"Self-deception!" Peng Heng snorted disdainfully and turned his head angrily.
Peng Xiaoyu chuckled, ignored him, turned around and played with the knife again. She looked at it for a moment and couldn't help but sigh. Peng Heng hurriedly turned his head: "What's the matter, what did you find?" β
"Nothing." Peng Xiaoyu said with a smile: "I just want to see when you turn your head." β
Peng Heng rolled his eyes and was speechless.
Peng Xiaoyu looked at him with a sense of accomplishment, and after a while, he stretched out his hand and pushed him, and said, "Brother, I heard that the Fuyi general Tian Yu killed Sun Yu in battle and got a knife. If that knife was given by the Shu people, it is likely to be produced by the Wei family, if you want to clear the suspicion of the Sima family, just compare the knife. β
Peng Heng was surprised: "How do you know that Sun Wei's knife will be given by the people of Shu?" β
"There is no famous knife master in Jiangdong, what can make General Tian feel precious, except for the new knife designed by the young master, I can't think of any other possibilities."
"Here we go again." Peng Heng hugged his head and made a painful appearance: "Do you think that in the whole world, only that kid knows how to fight?" β
"Of course not." Peng Xiaoyu said calmly: "But using the treasure knife to get closer to Sun Wei, I think only the young master will think of it." β
Peng Heng didn't say anything, he felt that when Wei Ba was mentioned, Peng Xiaoyu's IQ dropped significantly. He smiled sarcastically: "You told me such a big secret, didn't Wei Ba's methods fail?" β
Peng Xiaoyu shook his head: "This can't be the young master's means, it must be someone else." β
βweishenmeοΌβ Peng Heng was a little surprised.
"Because this method can only be confused for a while, and it won't take much to reveal the stuffing." Peng Xiaoyu winked at Peng Heng: "If it were the young master, he would definitely not use such a clumsy method, he would let the Sima family jump into the Yellow River and not be able to wash it." β
The smile on Peng Heng's face had just revealed a little, and when he heard this, his eyebrows immediately drooped. He leaned over and patted Peng Xiaoyu's head: "Sister, you are really sick." β
Peng Xiaoyu smiled slightly, gently knocked off Peng Heng's hand, and bent down to copy the book again. Peng Heng got up, picked up the knife, and hurriedly went out. Hearing the news of Peng Heng's footsteps outside the door, Peng Xiaoyu raised his head, rolled his eyes, quickly tore off a note, wrote down a few words, rolled it into a paper roll, took off the hairpin on his head, gently stuffed the paper roll in, put the hairpin back on, and then got up and walked to the porch, and whispered: "Someone." β
A soldier hurriedly walked over: "Girl, what are your orders?" β
"It's too stuffy in the city, I want to go out of the city to relax."
β¦β¦
Wei Feng and Ma Jian sneaked in the mountains for several days and rushed back to Zhuyang, just in time to catch up with Fei Yi and Wei Ba, who were just about to leave. As soon as he saw Wei Ba, Wei Feng, who was excited, took Wei Ba's hand and said happily: "Ziyu, thank you for asking Mr. Youchang to be my military advisor, otherwise, how could we seize such an opportunity." Do you know, I almost killed Cao Rui and made a miraculous achievement. β
Wei Ba and Fei Yi were both taken aback, and they looked at Ma Jian in unison. Ma Jian was also very happy, and told him what had happened, and said regretfully: "Cao Rui is very calm, the Wuwei battalion is very tenacious, and the reaction of the tiger and leopard rider is too fast, so we can only give up halfway." Otherwise, we might be able to snatch his chariot from him. β
Fei Yi daxiao: "You are young, your heart is a lot calmer, but this good name has not been completely changed." (To be continued......)
