"Qing Suo'er, don't be impatient." Wei Ba patted Qing Suo'er's hand and calmly withdrew his hand, wiping away the tears and snot from one hand. "There will definitely be a way."
"You really have a way?" Qing Suoer raised his head with tears in his eyes and looked at Wei Ba pitifully.
Wei Ba smiled bitterly. There were two thousand elite Wu troops, led by a very experienced general. He came from afar. There were only more than 600 people in total, and there were no large crossbows. The Chenxi barbarians who had been counting on had just been defeated.
If it is defeated, there is no chance of winning. However, at this moment, if he has no confidence, the others will collapse even more, so although he has no confidence at all, he still nods seriously.
"Don't worry, I have a way." Wei Ba looked at Wu Jun and a long line of prisoners in the distance: "I will definitely rescue your sister Jin Suo'er, as long as you are willing to help."
"Of course I am willing." Qing Suo'er nodded repeatedly: "What do you want me to help you with?"
Wei Ba stared into Qing Suo'er's eyes and said word for word: "First of all, I want you to stop crying, so as not to attract Wu Gou."
"Oh? Oh!" Qing Suo'er suddenly realized what he was saying, and quickly stopped crying, turned around embarrassedly, and wiped his tears with the back of his hand.
"Young Master, what should we do?" Dun Wu approached Wei Ba and reminded softly: "The difference in numbers is too huge. If we attack by force, we have no chance of winning."
Wei Ba snorted lightly.
"The opponent's deployment is very careful. He can use means like burning rice fields to force the barbarians out of the stronghold. He is not a fool. It's probably not easy to lure the enemy." Dunwu continued: "There are about ten of us.
Maybe we can sneak up close. But a target as big as five or six hundred people would probably be exposed ten miles away."
Wei Ba frowned slightly and was silent. Dun Wu was right about what he said. A strong attack, lack of strength, and an ambush. The other party was very cautious and would not have a chance. It is not easy to rescue these people.
But no matter how difficult it is, we have to save him, otherwise we have to go back home. This mission is a complete failure. Guan Feng and Zhao Tong will no longer support him in the future. From now on, he will obey Zhuge Liang's arrangements and work in Chengdu
Just an idle official.
In the distance, there are green mountains and clear water. The Wu army with high morale led a long team of prisoners. They slowly walked towards the bank of Chenshui. There were quite a lot of prisoners. After walking for a long time, they still didn't see the end.
, the soldiers said that four to five thousand people were captured. It seems that it is true. The entire Chenxi barbarian probably did not escape a few people.
Looking at the team that seemed to never end, Wei Ba suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. He turned to Qing Suoer, who was looking at him eagerly, and said: "From here to the west, are there any larger tribes?"
Qing Suo'er shook his head: "A hundred miles away, the Chenxi tribe is the largest. Further west, there is no larger tribe until Mingyue Gorge."
Wei Ba laughed. He had seen the place name Mingyue Gorge on the map. It was the source of the Yanjiang River. Not far to the west, it entered the border of Yizhou. Since Chenxi is the largest tribe here, Wu Jun must have stopped here.
They won't go any further west, they will turn back soon.
The army of two thousand people now has four to five thousand prisoners, and the marching speed will be greatly affected. It may seem that the results are brilliant, but in fact they are full of dangers. As long as they are well planned, it is not impossible to defeat these Wu troops and rescue the Chenxi barbarians.
"Dun Wu, I left Qing Suo'er here, can you ensure her safety?"
"Young Master, what about you?"
"I want to sneak back and discuss the battle plan with them. There must be someone here to monitor Wu Jun's situation. Those two big dogs..." Wei Ba lowered his voice and did not say any more. Dunwu understood, however, and nodded gently.
: "Don't worry, young master, I'm here and she is."
"Okay." Wei Ba patted Dun Wu on the shoulder, stood up and called Qing Suo'er: "Qing Suo'er, I want to go back and discuss with your elder brother how to save your sister Jin Suo'er. I have an important task to hand.
Here you go, can you finish it?"
"My lord said, I will definitely be able to complete it." Qing Suo'er puffed out her chest, but her voice was kept low.
"I want to leave someone here to monitor Wu Gou." Wei Ba pointed at the two big dogs: "You have the help of the divine dogs to ensure their safety. Only when they are safe can I understand Wu Gou's situation in time.
Rescue your sister Jinsuoer, do you understand what I mean?"
"I understand." Qing Suo'er glanced at Dunwu and others: "Don't worry, sir, I will definitely bring them back without missing a hair." She paused and then changed her tone to a pleading tone.
Said: "Then Sir, please come back quickly."
Wei Ba agreed repeatedly, and just as he was about to turn around and leave, he suddenly had an idea and turned to Qing Suo'er and said: "Qing Suo'er, I don't know if you know that there is an ancient legend in the ancient books of the Han people. It says.
There is a great general who fights without
The reason why he is invincible is because he has the help of a divine dog. Although I am not that great general, but now with the help of the descendants of Panhu, I think I will be able to defeat these Wu people.
, do you think so?"
Qing Suo'er blinked, obviously she had never heard of this great general, but Wei Ba had confidence in her divine dog, and of course she couldn't ask for it, so she nodded vigorously.
Wei Ba left Dunwu and others to monitor the Wu army on Chenshui River, and quickly returned with a few soldiers. They ran on the mountain road as fast as possible for two hours, and finally rushed back to the camp in the middle of the night.
The ordinary soldiers had gone to bed, but Guan Feng was still awake. He was sitting by the fire, hugging his knees and meditating. When he heard that Wei Ba was back, he hurriedly came out to greet him. When he saw him, he asked, "How is it?"
"The situation is very bad." Wei Ba gasped for breath. After walking back and forth forty or fifty miles on the mountain road, he was so tired that he almost collapsed. When Guan Feng saw him, he naturally stretched out his hand and helped him to the campfire.
He sat down, took out another piece of dry food, put it in the army pot, put in two pieces of meat, poured some water, put it on the fire and cooked it. After a while, the fragrance overflowed, and Wei Ba sucked it in hard.
After two mouthfuls, "It smells so good!"
"Don't worry, you need to calm down first." Guan Feng took down the marching pot and handed it to Wei Ba. He also took out a pair of bamboo chopsticks, wiped it with the hem of his clothes, and handed it to Wei Ba. "Zhao Boren is going to patrol the camp, right away.
I'll be back soon. Eat something first to replenish your strength."
"Okay." Wei Ba took it and started to devour it without caring about how hot it was. Just after he finished eating, Zhao Tong came back. Seeing Wei Ba's appearance, he frowned slightly, said nothing, and waved to kiss him.
The guards were alert and sat down by the bonfire. Wei Ba wiped his mouth and told the situation he had found out. Before he could finish speaking, the expressions of Guan Feng and Zhao Tong changed.
"The entire Chenxi barbarian army was wiped out?"
"Wu's army numbered more than two thousand?"
Wei Ba looked at Guan Feng, then at Zhao Tong, and nodded. "Their mission has been completed and they will set off to rush back to Chenyang soon. However, they have a large number of prisoners. As long as they do not kill the prisoners, they can
It is basically impossible to return to Chenyang quickly."
Zhao Tong asked: "Do you plan to intercept them?"
"I have to do this." Wei Ba had already thought about it all the way and no longer hesitated at this moment: "If we want to complete this task, the Wuxi Barbarians are an important part of it. If we just let the Wu people capture the entire Chenxi Barbarian tribe,
If they do, the morale of the entire barbarian tribe will definitely be dampened. Once they decide to surrender to the Wu people, we will have no chance." He said.
After a pause, he continued: "The Wu army mobilized troops this time, and the vanguard even went deep into the mountains to launch a surprise attack on the barbarians. I think there is no doubt about their determination to destroy the Wuxi barbarians. The prime minister sent me to Wuling to hold them back.
, so that they can't recruit troops and can't use their hands. If they can complete it so smoothly, my mission will be considered a failure."
Guan Feng squinted his eyes, staring at the flickering firelight, silent.
Zhao Tong picked up a dry branch and fiddled with the fire, his face gloomy. He thought for a long time, threw the branch into the fire, clapped his hands and said: "According to what you said, that general Wu named Zhou is cautious and wants to attack him secretly."
There shouldn't be much chance of a strong attack, and we don't have enough strength, so how do you plan to fight?"
"The fictitious is the real, the fictitious is used to cover up the real, and the real is used to replace the fictitious." Wei Ba said with a smile: "This matter may require the help of the Guan family sisters."
Guan Feng raised his eyelids and glanced at Wei Ba: "It's okay to take the lead. As long as I can win this battle, I won't hesitate."
Wei Ba shook his head: "Sister, this may be more difficult than you think."
"What's so difficult?" Guan Feng said dismissively: "Don't worry about me. I can do whatever you men can do."
Wei Ba waved to Guan Feng. Guan Feng was confused. Since Zhao Tong was present, she was embarrassed to be too close to Wei Ba. She rolled her eyes at Wei Ba and said, "If you have anything to say, just say it. Why are you so sneaky?"
Wei Ba looked at Zhao Tong awkwardly. Zhao Tong was stunned, then stood up with a smile and patted his butt: "I'll go on patrol, you guys discuss it first." After saying that, without waiting for Wei Ba and Guan Feng to agree, he turned around and hurriedly
After leaving, Guan Feng felt a little embarrassed and stretched out his leg to kick Wei Ba: "Look, what can't you say? Do you have to be so mysterious and cause misunderstanding?"
Wei Ba was also a little embarrassed. "Sister, we really can't talk about this in front of Zhao Tong. If you agree, tell him before it's too late. If you don't agree, then I will find another way."
"What's the matter?" Guan Feng said, but still came over. Wei Ba whispered a few words in her ear. Before she could say a few words, Guan Feng blushed and raised her hand to Wei Ba.
: "You brat, how dare you make fun of me?"
"Sister, I am really not kidding you." Wei Ba clasped his hands together and bowed repeatedly: "If sister doesn't agree, then I will find another way."
Guan Feng slapped him, lowered his eyelids, and was silent. Wei Ba looked at her nervously. His plan was very risky, and he didn't know if Guan Feng would agree to it. After a while, Guan Feng stuttered and said: "
If you are sure, then do as you say."
"Sister...agree?"
Guan Feng glanced at him, but hesitated to speak, her face was as red as fire, and her eyes were as charming as waves.
Wei Ba's heart skipped a beat, and he looked straight at Guan Feng. Guan Feng felt uncomfortable looking at him, and with a sullen face, he reached out and pulled out half of the sword. Wei Ba was startled and quickly took a step back. Guan Feng
He burst into laughter and said: "You have no courage!" (To be continued...)
