In fact, even if Lai Jiu didn't say this, the middle-aged man had no intention of saying anything. Since entering this tunnel, the middle-aged man had not said a word. Regarding Lai Jiu's reminder, the middle-aged man had no intention of arguing.
He just smiled lightly and nodded to show that he understood.
Immediately afterwards, the two of them continued to walk forward. After walking for nearly a stick of incense, the tunnel seemed to be gradually moving upwards. Needless to say, the exit must be coming soon. At this time, Lai Jiu also turned around and faced
The middle-aged man said: "Hurry up! We'll be there in just a short walk!"
At this time, the middle-aged man's expression was no longer as calm as before. Unlike Lai Jiu, he couldn't stand walking bent over for such a long time. Hearing what Lai Jiu said, the middle-aged man also couldn't stand it.
I couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief, the pain was finally over! Feeling relieved, my feet became a little faster and I followed closely.
Laijiu in front of him suddenly stopped. It turned out that the tunnel in front of him had reached the end. He saw Laijiu holding an oil lamp and shining it on his head. Then he stretched out his hand and pushed up, and a big hole was pushed out. It turned out that he didn't know it.
In the blink of an eye, they had reached the ground! Immediately, Laijiu shook his head at the middle-aged man and said, "The top is the hillside outside the city!" After saying that, Laijiu jumped down and walked from there.
The hole jumped out.
The middle-aged man quickly followed him, walked to the entrance of the cave and looked up. The size of the hole was similar to the previous entrance in the city. The middle-aged man could definitely get out. But at this time, Laijiu's big black hand
He stretched out from the hole and shouted in a low voice: "Hurry up! I will go back and block the tunnel later. If I wait until dawn, it will not be safe!"
The middle-aged man didn't say anything more. He just smiled faintly, grabbed the big black hand directly, and used Lai Jiu's strength to rush out of the cave in one breath. As soon as he came out of the cave, he found Lai Jiu
The hole was actually opened in the middle of a forest. When he saw the surrounding trees, the middle-aged man couldn't help but asked strangely: "Lame Jiu, didn't you say you opened the hole on that hillside before? But..."
Before the middle-aged man finished speaking, a thought suddenly flashed through his head. As if he remembered something, he turned around and looked at Lai Jiu. At this moment, Lai Jiu smiled at the middle-aged man.
, grabbed the middle-aged man's hand and twisted it, suddenly he got angry and pushed the middle-aged man to the ground. Lame Jiu rode on the middle-aged man's back and said with a smile: "This brother, it's really...
I'm sorry! I'm forced to have no choice! Hey! Come out! I've caught him!"
However, Lai Jiu's last words were directed at the surrounding woods. As soon as Lai Jiu finished speaking, he heard the sound of a bang all around. The whole forest suddenly lit up, and many people emerged from behind the woods.
soldiers and horses. Immediately afterwards, laughter rang out, and a thin man slowly walked out from among the sergeants. Who else could it be if it wasn't Guo Jia!
"Hahahaha!" Guo Jiahaha laughed and said to the middle-aged man who was restrained by Lai Jiu: "You didn't expect it? No matter how cunning you are, you will still fall into my trap!"
The middle-aged man who was restrained by Laijiu had half of his face pressed into the soil, and could only use one eye to look at the surrounding situation. However, the middle-aged man was only restrained by Laijiu at that moment.
There was a look of surprise on his face for an instant, and soon his face returned to its normal expression without any panic at all.
At Guo Jia's gesture, several soldiers from the Yongzu Army stepped forward and took the middle-aged man from Laijiu's hands. He tied him up neatly with a hemp rope as thick as his fingers. He handed over the middle-aged man.
After the man, Lame Jiu ran up to Guo Jia with an apologetic smile, and said humbly: "Sir! I have caught this man for you! Then this reward..."
Guo Jia, however, didn't take it seriously and waved his hand directly. Zhao Yun, who was behind Guo Jia, took out a small bag and threw it to Lai Jiu. After taking the small bag, Lai Jiu weighed it and smiled.
, took it back into his arms, jumped into the tunnel again without saying a word, and in the blink of an eye there was no trace.
The middle-aged man was escorted by the sergeant to Guo Jia. Seeing the helpless look on his face, Guo Jia seemed to say with interest: "Looking at you, you don't seem to be very scared?"
"Afraid! How could I not be afraid!" The middle-aged man smiled faintly, as if he had no intention of being captured, and said, "But even if I am afraid, what's the use? Is it possible that you will let me go because of this?"
"Interesting! It's really interesting!" Guo Jia's eyes were shining, staring closely at the middle-aged man, for fear of missing any expression on his face, and asked curiously: "Don't you want to know how I do it?"
Did you see through your plan and set an ambush here?"
In response to Guo Jia's question, the middle-aged man shook his head and said, "I don't want to know! If you lose, you lose! If you know how you beat me, what's the point?"
"Hahahaha!" Guo Jia stared at the middle-aged man closely for a long time, then suddenly smiled up to the sky, nodded and smiled at the middle-aged man: "Okay! Very good! You win! I admit, you succeeded in arousing my curiosity.
Heart! I won’t kill you anymore!”
The middle-aged man still had the same expression, neither salty nor bland. It seemed that Guo Jia's words had nothing to do with him. On the other hand, Zhao Yun, who was behind Guo Jia, looked puzzled. In his opinion, the relationship between Guo Jia and this middle-aged man was simply...
Even though they were playing riddles, he couldn't understand what they were talking about. However, Zhao Yun also knew that Guo Jia would never make a mistake, so in the end he held back and did not ask.
Guo Jia waved his hand, signaling the two sergeants who had grabbed the middle-aged man to let him go. After his arms were released, the middle-aged man rubbed his arms and looked left and right at Yong Yong who was surrounding him.
Zu Jun finally let out a long sigh and said, "Unexpectedly, I didn't escape in the end! Tell me, what do you want me to do?"
"Let's not talk about this for now!" Guo Jia's face showed that weird smile again, and said to the middle-aged man: "First of all, although we have fought several times, you and I still don't know each other's names.
!My dear Guo Jia, whose courtesy name is Fengxiao, is now the commander of Jingzhou Army, Bo. I haven’t asked for my advice yet!”
Guo Jia did not express his request, which made the middle-aged man feel more and more helpless. However, the current situation did not allow him to have other choices. When Guo Jia handed over his hands with a bitter look on his face, he said: "My surname is Jia, single name."
A flattering word!"
————————————————————————————————————————————————————— What is this kind of thing? "
Outside Hulao Pass, in the large tent of the Kwantung Allied Army's military camp, Yuan Shao stared at the sergeant who reported the news in front of him. His face was full of astonishment, and his eyes were about to burst out. And other people in the big tent also
They all looked similar to Yuan Shao. Some of them couldn't hold their breath and even jumped up in shock!
The sergeant was considered steady. Being stared at by so many big shots, he did not panic. Instead, he repeated what he had just said in a deep voice: "Early this morning, Hulao Pass was already deserted!
After investigation by scouts, it was found that all the Dong troops in Hulao Pass had retreated! There was only one empty camp left in Hulao Pass!"
After confirming again from the sergeant that he heard correctly, Yuan Shao and others looked at each other with doubts. These days, the Allied forces and Dong Jun have been maintaining a confrontation at Hulao Pass. Since the last time Lu Bu was about to
After being defeated but rescued by Dong Zhuo in the name of the Emperor, Dong Zhuo defended Hulao Pass and refused to fight no matter what!
On the other hand, after Luo Yang showed such great strength to the Allied forces, instead of feeling happy, these princes all acted like cows and refused to attack Hulao Pass. Of course, Luo Yang would not take the risk.
If Lu Bu is willing to fight, we will challenge him in a duel! But if we attack Hulao Pass, we will not be able to fight! Now no one in the Allied forces is willing to take this risk.
Over time, the two sides fell into this stalemate.
In the past few days, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao were still thinking about finding some excuse to force Luo Yang to tackle the problem, but the sudden information from the spy left Yuan Shao and others confused!
Although Lu Bu lost a battle last time, the number of Xiliang troops under Dong Zhuo will definitely not be much less than that of the Allies. In addition, with the natural danger of Hulao Pass as a basis, Dong Zhuo can completely drag the Allies in Hulao Pass.
.Since there is such a good situation, Yuan Shao really can't figure out why Dong Zhuo would withdraw his troops! Not only Yuan Shao, but also Cao Cao, Yuan Shu and other princes sitting below, no one can figure it out.
Among the various princes, probably only Luo Yang, who was sitting next to Cao Cao, knew what was going on! Needless to say, Gan Ning and Guo Jia must have succeeded! And based on what Gan Ning and Guo Jia did
Style, must have blocked the news before and waited until he was about to evacuate before transmitting the news. Therefore, Luo Yang did not have to worry at all that Gan Ning's army would be blocked by Dong Zhuo. However, although Luo Yang understood in his heart, on the surface
, and you have to pretend to be puzzled.
Cao Cao thought for a while, but couldn't think of a clue. But his eyes suddenly lit up, and he thought of another thing. He clasped his fists at Yuan Shao and said, "Alliance leader! Now that Dong Zhuo is retreating, our allies can take advantage of it."
Win the pursuit and go straight to Luoyang!" At this point, Cao Cao couldn't help but get excited. He wanted to break through Luoyang and welcome back the emperor. Isn't this the purpose of Cao Cao's allied force this time? This goal is about to be achieved. Cao Cao
How can you not be happy!
Although Cao Cao was happy, Yuan Shao, who was sitting in the top position, did not look happy at all. Instead, his brows furrowed deeper and deeper and he said: "Meng De! This matter is definitely not that simple! We still need to consider it in the long term!"
