Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 31
"Master! What old acquaintance?" Pei Yuanqing asked puzzled.

"Look at that big black-faced man, do you feel familiar?" Li Song pointed at Zhou Cang and said.

"Isn't this the yellow scarf thief Zhou Cang that my lord let go last time?" Pei Yuanqing, after Li Song pointed out, also recognized that the black-faced man in front of him was Zhou Cang who was captured alive by him and Li Yuanba.

"That's right, it's him!" Li Song affirmed.

"It's just why he appeared here? Isn't he supposed to stay in Hedong!" Li Song muttered in doubt, and finally had no choice but to keep this doubt in his heart, after all, no one here can give him an answer!

It just so happened that he ran all the way here, and it would be a bit difficult not to take him down. Okay, that's the decision, Li Song is firm in his heart.

"My lord! Zhou Cang is powerful, let's withdraw!" Pei Yuanqing said.

"It's a mere bandit, why bother, today, I will capture this person alive." Li Song laughed.

"I don't know if my lord has a good strategy?" Pei Yuanqing asked directly.

"Come here with your ear, I'll tell you!" Li Song said mysteriously, Pei Yuanqing went over with his ear, and Li Song talked about his strategy in his ear.

"How is it? This strategy is not bad!" Li Song winked at Pei Yuanqing, out of shape.

"Oh! Not bad!" Pei Yuanqing forced a smile and thought, what kind of clever plan is this!
"Okay, everyone will act according to plan!" After Li Song finished speaking, he turned and left. After Pei Yuanqing gave orders to the others, he also left directly.

"Everyone follow closely, be careful!" Zhou Cang said to the bandit under his opponent.

"Big master! Why didn't we grab food and grass in Hedong County, but ran to Hanoi County so far away, what if the officers and soldiers found out!" said a bandit next to Zhou Cang.

"Ah! This..." Zhou Cang's words stopped abruptly, looking at the five uninvited guests in front of him, dazed, shocked, panic and other emotions appeared on their faces one by one.

The five people flusteredly drew their bows and set up their arrows. The feathered arrows they shot fell to the ground less than one meter away from Zhou Cang and the others. They hurriedly turned their horses' heads and ran away.

"Why are you still stunned! Why don't you go after me!" Zhou Cang looked at each other in a daze, and shouted at the bandit.

"Oh! Come with me!" The bandits who reacted gathered their troops and chased them away.

"My lord! They're here!" Li Song and others ambushed at a crossroads, pointing forward.

Li Song looked in the direction the guards were pointing at, and saw the five guards he had sent running in front, and a dozen or so bandits behind them, chasing them, and could vaguely hear their shouts: "Stop! Chase quickly, Don't let them get away!"

"Get ready! Get rid of them first!" Li Song whispered to the soldiers next to him, passing on one by one, and quickly passed on.

Everyone bent their bows and set up arrows, and when the bandits entered the ambush circle, they let go of the bowstring in their hands, and the feathered arrows that left the string shot towards the bandits, and the bandits who were hit by the arrows fell off the horse like dumplings.

"Kill!" Li Song roared, and led his soldiers to surround and kill the remaining bandits. The five soldiers in front turned their horses around and killed them.

"Boss! They've been away for a long time, why haven't they come back yet?" asked the bandit next to Zhou Cang.

"I'm afraid I won't be able to come back! This is a trick, and we were fooled. I didn't expect that I, Zhou Cang, would be deceived by this clumsy trick."

"If I was alone, I wouldn't be afraid of the officers and soldiers. Now, with this batch of food and grass, it's not easy to meet the officers and soldiers."

"Come on, let's take a detour. The most important thing is to bring this batch of grain and grass back to the village. The old, weak, women and children in the village are still waiting for this batch of grain and grass to save their lives!" Zhou Cang decided to make a detour.

"But, master, I'm not familiar with the terrain here, if I make a detour..." Zhou Cang interrupted the bandit before he could finish speaking.

"I know what you mean! It's just that now we have no other way except to take a detour." Zhou Cang patted the bandit and said, but the bandit didn't say anything after hearing this.

"My lord! The bandits have taken a detour. On their way, they will pass through a canyon. This canyon walkway can only accommodate one person and one car. As long as they guard the two ends of the canyon walkway, they will not be able to fly out even if they have wings. "The soldier who is familiar with the terrain knelt on one knee and said.

"Okay! Ambush them here and capture Zhou Cang alive!" Li Song said.

"My lord! We are far away from this canyon walkway. I'm afraid they will leave by the time we get there." Pei Yuanqing said.

"My lord! I know there is a small road, and I will definitely be able to reach this canyon walk in front of them." When Li Song was in a dilemma, the soldier said.

"Oh! Alright, when Zhou Cang is captured alive, it will be your first achievement! Lead the way ahead!" Li Song said happily.

"Yes!" The soldiers responded happily, stood up and said to Li Song and Pei Yuanqing, "Master! Commander! Please follow me!"

The crowd followed the soldiers and walked towards the canyon walkway on a small path. They came to this canyon walkway one step ahead of time and set up an ambush to ambush them.

"Big boss! We haven't encountered any accidents along the way. They must not be able to find us. Now we are safe." The bandit next to Zhou Cang said.

Zhou Cang looked around and said, "Don't be careless! Only one person and one car can pass here. If someone sets up an ambush here, we will be in danger."

"Master, don't worry too much! Even if the officers and soldiers knew our whereabouts, they would not be able to run ahead of us and set up an ambush here, unless they flew from the sky, hahaha!" The bandit laughed loudly. road.

"It's better to be careful!" Zhou Cang always felt a little uneasy in his heart, and told the bandit.

"Yes!" Seeing Zhou Cang's serious face, the bandit put away the frivolity in his heart and said.

A group of bandits walked slowly through the canyon. When they reached the middle, countless flags were erected from both sides of the canyon, and their shouts were loud.

"Big Master! We are surrounded. Judging from these flags, there are probably no fewer than 1 horses. Big Master, what should we do?" asked the bandit behind Zhou Cang.

"We..." Zhou Cang hadn't finished speaking when he saw a man holding a pair of hammers and sitting on a ground-grabbing tiger-dragon colt at the front exit. This person was Zhou Cang's "old acquaintance" Pei Yuanqing.

"Thief, you are already surrounded! I advise you to surrender quickly." Pei Yuanqing pointed at Zhou Cang and the others.

"Bah! Bastard, shoot me!" Zhou Cang, who saw Pei Yuanqing, held a long gun, roared, and killed Pei Yuanqing.

"Well done!" Pei Yuanqing went up to meet him, fought Zhou Cang for three rounds, then shot Zhou Cang off his horse and captured Zhou Cang alive.

"The leader of the thief is captured here, and you don't put down your weapons and surrender!" Pei Yuanqing roared.

The bandits saw that Zhou Cang was captured, and both sides of the canyon were full of officers and soldiers, so they had to throw down the weapons in their hands, weeping as if they were mourning their concubine, and slowly came out of the canyon one by one, and were tied up.

"Take them and go to see the lord!" Pei Yuanqing got on his horse and said to Li Song personally.

The guards escorted the bound bandits towards Li Song's hiding place.
