"Shi Ah, see the general!" In the evening, apart from Xiahou Dun, Cai Yang, and Lu Zhao, only Shi Ah was left in Xiahou Dun's tent.
"Are you really Shi A?" Xiahou Dun looked at the other party. Although he knew Shi A's existence and his abilities, this was the first time he had actually seen him.
Shi A did not speak. Under the surprised gazes of the three people, there were sounds of bones cracking on his body, and the skin on his face continued to squirm, and finally turned into another human face, and his stature seemed to be smaller.
"How can a disciple of the swordsman Wang Yue still have such skills?" Cai Yang was a little unbelievable.
Shi Anai was a disciple of Wang Yue. Wang Yue was known as a swordsman and his swordsmanship was unparalleled in the world. However, Wang Yue's swordsmanship followed the path of panic and he had never heard of such a strange ability.
"This is my innate ability and has nothing to do with my master." Shi A said calmly.
"If you don't talk about this, why are you by Chu Nan's side?" Xiahou Dun asked with a frown.
Shi Ajiang briefly explained how he accepted the mission, how he lurked next to Chu Nan, and how he became a general. Xiahou Dun and the others were dumbfounded.
This story is also bizarre enough.
"In that case, why not kill Chu Nan?" Lu Zhao couldn't help but ask.
"Chu Nan is extremely vigilant, and is always guarded by monsters. Those monsters are quite keen, and they will detect the slightest hint of murderous intent. Chu Nan is extremely afraid of death, and he is usually his confidant.
Generals should not get too close to him." Shi A bowed.
"How dare you lead the army even if you fear death?" Xiahou Dun sneered disdainfully, looking down on Chu Nan even more.
Seeing this, Shi A frowned and said: "General, don't underestimate this person. Although this person is afraid of death, he is also very cunning. There are two generals around him, one is Huang Zhong and the other is Wei Yan. These two are not only highly skilled in martial arts, but also good at using troops.
Quite impressive, the general must be careful about these two!"
"I know, what are you going to do next?" Xiahou Dun asked, waving his hand impatiently.
As for Huang Zhong and Wei Yan, Xiahou Dun wrote down the names, but he still didn't care. After all, if the subordinates of Lu Bu's son-in-law really had any extraordinary abilities, why not directly work for Lu Bu?
Lu Bu will descend into the army, and apart from Zhang Liao and Gao Shun, there doesn't seem to be anyone who can make a difference.
Shi A cupped his fists and said: "The general is preparing to return to the army, waiting for an opportunity to assassinate, and also to spy on more information for the general. The reason why he appeared today is to set a code with the general to convey the news."
Chu Nan was too wary, and it was difficult for him to approach Chu Nan silently. This was why Shi Aliang showed his true face, hoping to cooperate with Xiahou Dun and kill Chu Nan together.
"That's alright." Xiahou Dun nodded, and after setting a secret code with Shi A, he sent someone to send Shi A out of the camp overnight.
"Has this person been discovered by Na Chu Nan?" Lu Zhao suddenly asked after Shi A left.
Shi A was one of our own, and he was sent to deliver the heads. In fact, you can just find a soldier to deliver the heads. Why do you have to find a good general to deliver the heads?
And this coincidence is a bit too much!
Lu Zhao does not believe in coincidences.
"It's difficult." Xiahou Dun thought for a while, shook his head and said, "Shi Ah is the best at changing his appearance, and he can do it seamlessly. Unless he is a close relative, it would be difficult to identify him. Then Chu Nan obviously wants to use Li's head to provoke me.
When we go into battle, it would be difficult for ordinary soldiers to achieve this effect."
This barely counts as a reason, but Lu Zhao still reserves his own opinion. He feels that Shi'a has been exposed. It's just that Xiahou Dun made this judgment. He can't directly refute his superior's fault. He just needs to pay attention.
Early the next morning, the spies sent to explore Chu Nan finally arrived. Sure enough, as Shi A said, after Chu Nan captured Ruyin, it never moved again. Instead, it prepared to build a defense line in Ruyin to defend Ruyin.
"Courageless bandit!" After hearing the news, Xiahou Dun was speechless. As expected, as Shi A said, Chu Nan was a little too cautious. Who has ever seen someone defend the city after attacking someone else's territory?
But the fact that Chu Nan was garrisoned in Ruyin made Xiahou Dun uncomfortable. You can say fight. The two sides are separated by hundreds of miles. This is not to mention how weird it is to fight a siege on your own territory. There is no need to worry about food and grass supplies, but from now on
Judging from Chu Nan's posture, fighting Ru Yin will definitely be time-consuming and labor-intensive.
But if you don't fight, and instead join forces with Cao Cao to encircle Lu Bu, Ruyin's men are like awns on their backs, and they may give you such a vicious blow in the back at any time, and no one can withstand it.
But what can we do now? If we want to solve the crisis here as soon as possible, we can only follow Chu Nan's routine. If you don't come, I will go!
Although he was unhappy to be led by a junior like Chu Nan, Xiahou Dun could only hold his nose and follow the path given by Chu Nan, gather up his entire army, and march all the way to Ruyin.
The movements here were quickly detected by Chu Nan's scouting horse.
"Lord, if our army of 30,000 soldiers really fights an offensive and defensive battle, we will suffer a slight loss!" Huang Zhong found Chu Nan and said to Chu Nan: "The enemy can attack the city from any direction, or lay siege to the city without attacking, but our army can only
You can guard the city without moving, and the food routes are easily cut off!"
After all, this is someone else’s territory. It’s easy for them to cut off your food routes, but it’s difficult for you to cut off other people’s food routes. If you really dare to have 30,000 troops huddled in the city, the other party doesn’t even need to fight and surround you.
They can surround you to death.
"We are about to discuss this matter with the general!" Chu Nan saw Huang Zhong coming over, motioned him to sit down, pointed at the map and said: "It is impossible to hold on tightly. I plan to let Wei Yue defend the city, and we will lead the army out of the city to fight."
"The last general is willing to be a pioneer!" Huang Zhong said, cupping his fists.
Chu Nan shook his head: "There is no vanguard in this battle, and the old general only has one chance to take action!"
When Huang Zhong heard this, he frowned and looked at Chu Nan: "Lord, why is this?"
"The general is as brave as his father-in-law. Once he takes action, it will surely shake the world, but he may not be able to kill the enemy general." Chu Nan drew a circle on the map and said: "In this battle, I want to keep the head of Xiahou Dun and give it to the enemy."
It’s a surprise for Cao Cao! But it’s not easy to kill this person.”
Huang Zhong looked at the map after hearing this, sighed and said: "It is easy to defeat such a general, but difficult to kill him. After all, Cao's army is coming this time. The army is in a coordinated formation. It is difficult to kill the enemy general!"
"So I'm going to let the general hide his edge and only lead the archers at the side. When the critical moment comes, he will take action to kill the traitor general with one strike!" Chu Nan clicked on the map and said: "So in this battle, Wen Chang will be the main one.
He came to fight Xiahou Dun, and the general was responsible for assisting him. I wonder what the general thought?"
Wei Yan's ability may not be worse than that of Xiahou Dun. The most important thing is that if Wei Yan takes action, Xiahou Dun should be able to give birth to enemy troops.
If Zhong takes action, it will most likely result in a one-hit kill.
"General, I will obey my lord's orders!" Huang Zhong said, cupping his fists.
"General, don't worry. After this battle, I think all the princes in the world will not dare to underestimate the general anymore!" Chu Nan stood up and said with a smile. This is not to paint a cake for Huang Zhong. If Xiahou Dun can be killed in this battle, Huang Zhong will definitely become famous.
, when the time comes, who among the princes in the world will dare to underestimate him?
Although he failed to get the position of vanguard, for Huang Zhong, he could feel Chu Nan's attention, which was enough. Although his lord was young, he was quite skillful in doing things. This arrangement was both satisfying and satisfying.
After taking care of Wei Yan and taking care of Huang Zhong, he said goodbye to Chu Nan and left.
If the marching speed is normal, at Xiahou Dun's speed, it will take half a day to reach Ruyin. However, there are not many large water systems in the land of Runan, but the small rivers are crisscrossing each other. Either bridges must be built to pass through, or detours must be made, making it impossible to sustain the army.
In formation, the soldiers were walking more hurriedly than usual.
The journey that originally took the army half a day to reach, now took a day to reach the Qiuqiu area. This place is about a hundred miles away from Ruyin, and there are still many rivers in the middle. However, Xiahou Dun did not continue to move forward. According to
The intelligence obtained from the scouting horse showed that Chu Nan had moved his army out of Runan, and it seemed that he was not preparing to hold on to it.
This made Xiahou Dun, who originally wanted to surround Ruyin and trap this boy to death, a little disappointed. Isn't this boy stupid?
Sleeping hill.
Xiahou Dun looked into the distance. After a while, he looked at Cai Yang and said, "Although it is getting early, there is no need to rush on the road today. The soldiers have consumed a lot of energy along the way. Let's rest here for the night. We will go on an expedition tomorrow to find Chu Nan's bad luck!"
"
Cai Yang nodded and said: "The general has sent out scouting horses to explore the enemy's specific position and layout. The road terrain here has been compiled into a map by the counselors."
Xiahou Dun nodded, and just as he was about to say something, he suddenly felt something strange in his heart. He looked up and saw a huge white dove hovering in the sky, making cooing sounds from time to time.
"What a big pigeon!" Xiahou Dun frowned.
"It should be the pigeon demon next to Chu Nan!" Lu Zhao remembered that Shi'a had said that the pet beasts around Chu Nan had their own characteristics, and the pigeon demon could detect military situations.
Cai Yang compared the distance between the two sides, looked at Xiahou Dun and said, "General, do you want to form a formation?"
Without relying on military formations, it would be difficult to hurt this pigeon.
After looking at it for a while, Xiahou Dun shook his head and said: "This beast and thief keeps looking at it from a distance or a distance. If we form a formation, we will definitely stay away immediately and ignore it. We will arrange a night patrol to prevent Chu Nan from taking advantage of the night."
Sneak attack!"
Cai Yang nodded and turned around to continue making arrangements for the camp.
Xiahou Dun stayed where he was and stared at the pigeon demon hovering in the sky. He was right, but he felt a little unhappy in his heart. With this beast around, Chu Nan's side was too convenient. They had not been able to find the specific location of the enemy.
But they have already been found. In terms of information alone, they are at a disadvantage.
He carried a long bow and walked around the camp, his eyes constantly paying attention to the position of the pigeon demon. Unfortunately, he could not find a suitable opportunity to shoot the pigeon demon down.
Finally, the pigeon demon seemed to have obtained the information that he was satisfied with, spread its wings and flew away into the distance.
Seeing this scene, Xiahou Dun returned to the camp with some regrets. He threw down his long bow and looked at the oncoming road attack. Cai Yang said: "I don't know what this pigeon demon tastes like. If I can defeat it, I must give it a try!"
