Chapter 58 Seven Days
Yan Su didn't expect that someone would pretend to be an officer and a soldier to kill him? He fell to the ground, and blood flowed out of Yan Su's throat, and there was a trace of spirit in his eyes. He opened his mouth and said, "You, you, you..." The words came to his mouth, but the power in his body continued to weaken when the blood flowed in his throat, and he couldn't raise any strength to spit out the words in his mouth.
Zang Ba squatted down, lowered his voice, and said with a hint of mockery, "Your son was shot by Wang Yan on the mountain, and I was forced to kill you by Wang Yan."
"Ho...ho..."
Yan Su's throat sounded and his eyes widened.
"ah!"
With a roar that hurts to the bone, Yan Su's eyes suddenly dimmed.
Zang Ba sneered, looked at the three people on the ground, and waved, "Retreat!" Zang Ba was no longer interested in robbing the city. The time in his hand was too tight, so he could not waste any of it. He had to hurry up and retreat every minute and second.
Zang Ba led his men to retreat, and the people stationed on the city tower finally breathed a sigh of relief.
After retreating from afar, Zang Ba quickly met with the people who were going down the mountain.
After a brief count, Zang Ba's face showed a deep look. When he fought with Wang Yan on the mountain, he lost nearly 300 brothers, and when he fought with Yan Sheng before, there were about 100 casualties. According to statistics on the results of this battle, only 400 of his 800 Taishan Erlangs were left. At this moment, Zang Ba could only expect the 400 of the 400 on the mountain to go down the mountain smoothly.
...
Fuboling, northeast.
When it was getting dawn, the three hundred elites in the court were already exhausted. They were always worried and frightened all night, and they had not had enough rest and were still hungry. They were almost unable to bear it in their spirits or physical health.
Jian Shuo also had a deep worry on his rough cheeks, saying, "Meng De, you have been thinking about it for a night and have not come up with a way to deal with it. Now that you are depressed and can't rush out, what should you do?"
Cao Cao looked helpless and shook his head and said, "This road is curved and narrow, and our soldiers cannot launch a large-scale charge. A few soldiers rushed over and stationed at the exit, and the bandits at the entrance could respond calmly. In this case, it is very unfavorable for us. It is a blessing to avoid being attacked, and it is impossible to break through."
Yuan Shu snorted and said, "If it weren't for Wang Yan's arrangement, we wouldn't have fallen into such a predicament; if it weren't for Wang Yan, we might have defeated Zang Ba and successfully obtained the Xuanyuan Sword; if it weren't for Wang Yan, our soldiers would not have been so decadent and their morale would not have been so sluggish. To be honest, it was all caused by Wang Yan."
Yuan Shao's eyes flashed, and he didn't know what to think about?
Cao Cao comforted: "Highway, just say this on your lips, you must not be arrogant. We need Wang Yan to help you now. If you anger him, it will not be of any benefit to you."
Jian Shuo was also worried that Yuan Shu would do anything randomly and said in a deep voice: "Meng De's words are reasonable, remember not to provoke Wang Yan."
Yuan Shu snorted and stopped speaking. The current situation made Yuan Shu feel very worried. He had enough of being trapped in the dark valley for a night.
The few people soon fell silent again, without saying a word, and waited quietly.
On the dark night, except for the moonlight falling in the valley, there was only a faint sound of breathing.
"Zang Ba has been defeated, kill!"
Suddenly, a shout of rushing to the sky suddenly sounded in the night sky.
The sounds sounded one after another, coming from far to near.
"We won, and the reinforcements are here."
A roar suddenly sounded in the quiet valley. The shouts from afar, like a burning flame, suddenly poured into the sluggish morale.
Jian Shuo was so excited that he danced and said, "Saved, we are saved. I knew, I knew that Wang Yan would not disappoint me."
Yuan Shao breathed a long sigh and let go of the worries in his heart.
Fortunately, I was lucky to be competitive.
Cao Cao was glad in his heart and keenly noticed the opportunity and suggested: "General Jian and Zang Ba were defeated, and the bandits surrounding us would be depressed and even fled without fighting. At this time, we took the initiative to fight and immediately cooperated with Wang Yan. This is an opportunity and should not be missed."
"Yes, yes, it makes sense." Jian Shuo said in a deep voice: "Let's go, we break through the exit."
Three hundred elite soldiers began to break through quickly.
When the officers and soldiers rushed to the exit, they encountered no obstacles at all and rushed out directly. The bandits outside had retreated directly. They rushed out of the valley road, and the road up the mountain gradually became spacious and flat. After walking less than half a quarter of an hour, Jian Shuo met the soldiers led by Wang Yan.
Wang Yan went forward first and said, "General Jian, I'm late for this battle, please forgive me."
Jian Shuo smiled and said, "It's a good time, it's just right." After a pause, Jian Shuo said, "How is the situation when Wang County Wei and Zang Ba fight?"
Wang Yan replied: "In this battle, I led 600 soldiers up the mountain, lost more than ten soldiers, and killed nearly 300 Taishan bandits. In addition, there were 100 Taishan bandits killed by Yan Sheng, the son of Yan County Magistrate Yan. However, the 300 people under Yan Sheng were wiped out, and none of them survived, including Yan Sheng, who died."
"Why is this happening?"
Yuan Shu asked a question directly with a cold face.
Wang Yan glanced at Yuan Shu with a squinted eyes and said slowly: "When going up the mountain, Yan Sheng wanted to make achievements first, so he left me and left. However, he didn't expect to meet Zang Ba's main force, so he was defeated. After I led my troops to arrive, I used bows, arrows, guns and shields to kill the enemy together, and then curbed Zang Ba's offensive. Unfortunately, Zang Ba led his men to break through the soldiers' siege and rushed down the mountain."
"Where is Xuanyuan Sword?"
Jian Shuo immediately asked.
In fact, Jian Shuo did not care about Yan Sheng's life or death, nor did he care about his victory or defeat in the battle against Zang Ba. He only cares about whether he could successfully retrieve the Xuanyuan Sword and complete the tasks assigned by the emperor.
Wang Yan shook his head and said, "This time, I couldn't recapture the Xuanyuan Sword. I interrogated the captured bandits. The news I got was that after Zang Ba got the Xuanyuan Sword, he hid in a secret place in Fubo Ridge. Next, it may take a lot of time and energy to search. The huge Fubo Ridge is not easy to find."
Jian Shuo's face suddenly changed color and was extremely cold. Zang Ba fled, and Xuanyuan Sword was hidden and wanted to find it on the mountain, like looking for a needle in a haystack.
"Chain the mountains and forests immediately and look for Xuanyuan Sword."
Jian Shuo had a cold face and ordered directly.
This time, Jian Shuo issued a military order. He must take back Xuanyuan Sword, otherwise he will not be able to go back to submit the service.
Wang Yan ordered: "Yang He!"
"I'm in a humble position!"
Yang He stood up and said.
Wang Yan said: "Tell Huang Zhong that the mountains and forests are blocked, and no entry or exit are allowed."
"promise!"
Yang He turned around and retreated.
Wang Yan changed his tone and said, "General Jian, it's better to go back to the city to rest after a night. I will leave four hundred soldiers behind, search the mountains bit by bit, and will definitely find Xuanyuan Sword. General Jian only needs to wait for news in the county town."
Yuan Shu interrupted and said, "Who knows when you will find it? There is a time limit for our trip. In three days, you must search for Xuanyuan Sword."
Wang Yan ignored Yuan Shu and asked, "General Jian Shu, can Yuan Shu represent you? He can find the Xuanyuan Sword in three days, but he can think of it. It is better for my soldiers to close the mountain and ask the soldiers in Xiyuan to search. I will see if the Xuanyuan Sword can be found in three days."
Jian Shuo glared at Yuan Shu and said, "Minister Wang, Yuan Shu's words are a bit unreasonable. But he said one thing right. We have time limits when we come out this time. I'll give you five days to find the Xuanyuan Sword."
Wang Yan shook his head and said, "Five days are too short. Seven days will take at least seven days."
