Yuan Shu rode on the horse with a gloomy expression and frowned deeply. Behind Yuan Shu, Jin Shang, Kuai Liang, Li Yan and other aides and generals lined up. Then behind him, two thousand Han army infantry slowly unfolded, with flags flying, and murderous aura. In the open space in front of the Han army array, two thousand war horses were corpses on the spot, and the strong smell of blood was scent.

"Huh~~ It's really a mistake." Yuan Shu breathed a long sigh and held his forehead with his hand and said angrily, "Ma Yue, how dare he kill me war horses. It's hateful, it's really hateful!"

"Report~~"

As Yuan Shu finished speaking, a horseman came in front of him as if he was flying.

"Report to the general, General Yuan Yin has defeated the bandit cavalry, and is now joining forces with General Zhang Xun to attack Wancheng."

Yuan Shu's face darkened and he said sternly: "The bandits only have more than 200 cavalry, but they have only been defeated until now?"

Jin Shang also changed his mind and said in a lost voice: "It took several hours to defeat only 200 cavalry bandits with 1,000 elite cavalrymen in the Han army! This..."

Kuai Liang said: "General, the eight hundred bandits are different from the Yellow Turban bandits in the past. The thieves are many strong and powerful, and they are all fierce and undeadly dying, and they cannot be underestimated."

"Report~~"

As soon as Kuai Liang finished speaking, another rider rushed over and rushed to Yuan Shu, turning over and falling down, kneeling down on the dust.

"Report to General Sun Jian, General Sun Jian, fought against the thief chief Ma Yue, and was seriously injured."

Yuan Shu was shocked and almost fell from the horse's back. Fortunately, Li Yan beside him was quick-eyed and quickly patted him forward to support him. Not only Yuan Shu was surprised, but also Jin Shang and other all the staff and generals who knew Sun Jian's bravery were also lost, and their eyes were shocked.

Yuan Shu began to recover from his senses for a long time, staring at the horse like a wolf, and shouted sternly: "Say it again!"

The explorer said, "General, General Sun Jian fought against the thief Ma Yue and was seriously injured."

Yuan Shu's eyes sternly and shouted, "Sun Jian, Jiangdong tiger is the one, how can the thief chief Ma Yue be the enemy?? This person who bewitched the morale of the army, dragged me down and chopped me!"

The explorer said in horror: "God of your life, the villain's reward is the truth."

Yuan Shu shouted: "Don't say too much, drag it down with me and chop it!"

Kuai Liang was about to dissuade him, but suddenly he realized something. He looked back at the shocked and generals behind him and nodded slightly, but his eyebrows were furrowed inadvertently.

...

30 miles east of Wancheng, on the banks of Baishui River.

More than 50 rafts were lined up in a row, each carrying dozens of bandits, ready to set off. As early as when the 800 bandits were conquering Wancheng and crossing the Baishui west, Ma Yue had someone to lay down the raft. After crossing the river, he did not abandon it, but ordered people to hide it secretly in the dense forest by the river. He did not expect that it would come in handy today.

On the west bank of Baishui, a big flag fluttered in the wind, with four bright red characters embroidered with "Eight Hundred Bandits". Under the banner, Pei Yuanshao and Ma Yue stood in front of each other.

"Lao Pei, the people have all kidnapped?"

Pei Yuanshao said aloofly: "Boqi is relieved, and they have all kidnapped each other, with more than 800 people all wearing Han military uniforms and armor. If you don't look closely, there will be no flaws."

"Yeah." Ma Yue nodded and said in a deep voice, "You only have more than a hundred brothers around you, so you must be careful. You must not show your flaws when the people are exposed, and you must also make the most of the momentum, which will create the illusion that eight hundred bandits will go south along Baishui. However, preserving strength is the priority in everything. If you cannot do it, you can make a quick decision to abandon the people and turn to the north and join the brigade of troops."

Pei Yuanshao said: "Please rest assured, Pei Yuanshao will pay attention."

Ma Yue waved his hand and said sternly: "Okay, go!"

Pei Yuanshao's eyes sternly, he carried the flag on his shoulders, turned around and shouted loudly, "Brothers, please take care of the people for me, and you must not leave one, let's go~~~"

Under the guidance of the flag, Pei Yuanshao led more than a hundred bandits to escort more than 800 people along the west bank of Baishui. A team of nearly a thousand people left a large number of chaotic footprints on the snow on the river bank. The footprints came from Wancheng east, broke into Baishui and went south, and then moved further and more at the feet of Pei Yuanshao and his group.

Ma Yue jumped to the last raft, and was about to order to go north against the current, suddenly a rapid sound of horse hooves sounded from the west bank. He looked back in shock and saw several riders covered in blood and galloping in the dusk. Guan Hai's eyes were sharp and he looked at them from afar and said happily: "Zhou Cang! The leader, it was Zhou Cang and the others who came back. This guy is not dead, haha..."

Guan Hai smiled long, and the rider was running closer, and the leader was indeed Zhou Cang.

Ma Yue was overjoyed and jumped back to the shore from the raft. In an instant, Zhou Cang had already galloped to the ground. He flew over and fell down and knelt down on the ground. He whimpered with a first pause: "Big leader, brothers... are only these left!"

Ma Yue looked cold and thought to himself coldly, since he was a bandit and the Han army of the entire Han Empire, it was inevitable that he would die, it depends on whether it was worth it! The death of 200 cavalry bandits was exchanged for the survival of 800 bandits, and Ma Yue thought it was completely worth it.

Ma Yue helped Zhou Cang up from the ground and advised in a deep voice: "Zhou Cang, those who have lost are all good brothers. I am as sad as you if they have lost them! But now we don't have time to be sad. We must seize the time to jump out of the Han army and disappear under the noses of the Han army, and then turn around and catch them off guard and avenge the dead brothers."

Zhou Cang straightened his waist, his eyes showed cold murderous intent, and said in a deep voice: "Yes, kill all the Han troops and avenge the dead brothers!"

After slapping Zhou Cang on the shoulder, Ma Yue shouted: "Let's go!"

...

Yuan Shu's army entered Xi'e, 30 miles north of Wancheng. With the strong dissuasion of Kuai Liang and Li Yan, they set up camp on the spot and no longer settled in Wancheng. Long before Yuan Shu drove to Xi'e, Yuan Yin and Zhou Xun led 2,000 troops to capture Wancheng, but at this time, Wancheng had become an empty city, and there was no bandit except the people in the city.

Sun Jian, who was seriously injured and unconscious, was also sent to Yuan Shu camp and was treated by the military ward.

Seeing that the doctor applied medicine to Sun Jian’s wound and bandaged it, Yuan Shu breathed a sigh of relief and asked with concern: “Sir, how is Wentai’s injury?”

The four generals Zu Mao, who had been standing beside Sun Jian, also looked at the doctor nervously.

The doctor stroked the willow beard on his chin and smiled and said, "Although General Sun's left shoulder was seriously injured, it was a skin and flesh injury, and he had no worries about life. The one who was worried about was a pair of eyes. I don't know what was hurt, so I might be worried about blindness."

After saving Sun Jian, Zu Mao and the other two washed away the quicklime on Sun Jian's face with clean water. The four rash men did not recognize the quicklime, nor did they know how powerful it was. They were familiar with it and added additional damage to Sun Jian during the cleaning process. When the doctor asked, they didn't know what it was.

Yuan Shu frowned instantly. If Sun Jian was blind, wouldn’t the tiger become a blind tiger? How many tiger powers could be left? He said with concern at the time: “I hope Mr. will treat him carefully and must protect the Wentai’s eyes.”

The doctor said: "I'm trying my best, but the final result depends on General Sun's luck."

Yuan Shu sighed quietly, stood up and left Sun Jian's tent, and suddenly saw Li Yan coming hurriedly.

"General, there are eight hundred bandits who are going to be there."

"Oh?" Yuan Shu's expression moved and said in a deep voice, "I'm asking Mr. Yuanxiu, Mr. Zirou to come to my camp to discuss matters."

"As for orders, general."

After a while, Jin Shang and Kuai Liang were invited to Yuan Shu's camp. After listening to Li Yan's report, the two of them fell into deep thought at the same time. A faint cold look flashed in Yuan Shu's eyes and asked Li Yan: "Zheng Fang, have you ever investigated carefully?"

Li Yan replied: "Return to the soldiers, although the sky was dark at that time, it was still possible to distinguish the words 800 bandits embroidered on the banner. There were a thousand bandits, so it should be undoubtedly bandits. Moreover, the eight hundred bandits traveled east from the east gate of Wancheng to Baishui. They turned south. The footprints left on the snow were clearly distinguishable, and they had never divided their troops."

Yuan Shu said: "It is undoubtedly true that eight hundred bandits went south."

Jin Shang sighed: "In the battle of Chi County, we could have captured and killed the thief chief Ma Yue in one fell swoop, but the general missed the opportunity."

A trace of discomfort flashed through Yuan Shu's eyes, and then he laughed and said, "In the battle of Chi County, I was not thinking well and missed the opportunity. I am really ashamed. However, I don't know what good strategies Yuan Xiu has to save me?"

Jin Shang said: "Only the current plan should be made to follow General Yuan Yin's cavalry and pursue him. Do not breathe with the eight hundred bandits. When the bandits are tired and the general leads elite troops to attack him, he can defeat him in one fell swoop."

As soon as Jin Shang said this, Kuai Liang frowned, and the young and energetic Li Yan couldn't help but retort: ​​"Mr. Jin's words are bad. There are many rivers and mountains in the south of Wancheng, which is not conducive to the rapid movement of war horses. It is not good to use cavalry to expel them to fight terrorism. It is better to follow the bandits and advance with more than a thousand elite official troops and follow them to pursue them."
