Rogue master in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 109
As the sun sets on the western mountain, the earth becomes dizzy, and the slightly cold mountain wind blows from the northwest.

When the large team arrived here, they were about to enter a narrow and long gorge that Xuanyuan Mountain must pass through. It was surrounded by dense and dark rainforest. If someone wanted to sneak attack, this place was indeed an ideal place.

Chen Wei reined in the horse quickly, and Jia Xu also reined in the horse and walked to Chen Wei's side and said: "This canyon is narrow and gloomy, and it is easy to have an ambush."

Chen Wei also thought so, and immediately stopped the large team from advancing.

At this time, Dou Dan, who was running ahead, turned around and saw Chen Wei and the others stopped, and immediately reined in his horse and ran back angrily, shouting: "General Chen, why are you doing this?"

Looking at the entrance of the gorge ahead, Chen Wei frowned and said: "This gorge is a place for hiding soldiers. Maybe horse bandits and bandits will ambush and rob caravans here. We'd better be careful."

A flash of anger flashed in Dou Dan's dark eyes, he didn't expect Chen Wei to be so cautious, but he pretended not to take it seriously and said: "General Chen is too cautious, this is the only way to Xuanyuan Mountain, could it be that he is afraid of an ambush and never passes through it?" ?”

Chen Wei shook his head and said, "It's dusk now, and the night is falling, we'd better camp for the night, and it won't be too late to cross the canyon tomorrow."

"Then what should I do with my master's goods? When you go there tomorrow, maybe the other party has already shared the spoils. Will you come to pay for it?" Dou Dan shouted angrily, "If you are afraid of ambush, I will send someone to clear the way for you !"

After finishing speaking, Dou Dan immediately ordered his subordinates to shout: "Give us a way for our brave and majestic General Chen!"

Immediately, more than a dozen people ran out and rushed towards the mouth of the gorge.

Chen Wei was not angry when he heard Dou Dan's sarcasm, and looked in the direction of the dozen or so people.The dozen or so people walked into the canyon, and after a while, they came out unharmed, and one of his subordinates waved all safety signs to them from a distance.

At this time, the contempt on Dou Dan's face became stronger, and he said: "You are as cowardly as a mouse, who is going to lead soldiers to fight like a man, brothers, let's go!"

After finishing speaking, he will take his five hundred township soldiers forward.

Chen Wei, on the other hand, watched Dou Dan leave indifferently, and told his subordinates to retreat five li, build a camp with their backs, and start cooking. Obviously, they did not intend to pass through this canyon tonight.

Taking advantage of the time when the soldiers were making camp, Chen Wei, Jia Xu and Fan Jian went to a hilltop, opened the topographical map drawn on silk, and studied the route to Mount Xuanyuan.

In less than a moment, Chen Wei watched the five hundred soldiers led by Dou Dan return from afar from the top of the mountain.

To Chen Wei's surprise, Dou Dan didn't lose his temper this time, but kept silent about the march and quietly settled down near Chen Wei's camp.

The canyon in the distant mountains is still silent, the setting sun has already set in the western mountains, a few bonfires are burning by the river bank, and the mist is misty.

Beside the bonfire, Chen Wei and the others sat together.Jia Xu looked back from the direction of Dou Dan's camp, and said solemnly: "Dou Dan is so calm, I'm afraid something has changed."

"I've sent scouts to the canyon, we'll know if there's an ambush," Fan Jian said.

Chen Wei frowned slightly, and said: "If I were a horse thief, and I saw that you didn't fall for the trap, I would definitely choose fire attack or night attack. We set up camp by the river, and there are no trees beside us, but we are fighting with our backs, and there is no way out. I'm afraid the enemy will There is a high possibility of a night attack tonight."

"In this case, it can be explained that Dou Dan is so calm. Before he insisted on passing through the canyon, he must have communicated with the horse thieves inside, so he withdrew again. If the horse thieves really led the crowd to attack at night, then Dou Dan must They will think that there is no way out for us, we must fight to the death, but the enemy is outnumbered and we are outnumbered, I am afraid there will be more disasters than luck!" Jia Xu said.

Fan Jian's face changed slightly, and he said: "The horse thief chose to attack proactively. I'm afraid Wang Qing thought that we really wanted reinforcements from Luoyang, so he wanted to catch us all before the reinforcements arrived. It seems that we must respond immediately."

Chen Wei lowered his head in thought, then suddenly raised his head, a murderous intent flashed in his eyes, "I can't wait any longer, I'll kill Dou Dan, it would be best if I can swallow these five hundred soldiers, if not, we will Let’s retreat to the mountains for now, even if horse thieves come after us, we can rely on the terrain to resist for a few days.”

Jia Xu also knew that this was the best way at this moment, and said decisively: "I will arrange it immediately."

Chen Wei immediately went back to the tent, changed into black clothes, did not wear the blood blade sword, but tied a dagger behind his back.After whispering a few words with Jia Xu and agreeing on the final steps, they quietly sneaked into Dou Dan's camp.

Covered by the darkness of night and the tent, Chen Wei sneaked into Dou Dan's camp unknowingly.Chen Wei noticed that the soldiers did not take off their clothes after dinner, but rested with their weapons in their hands. He immediately confirmed in his heart that Dou Dan would join forces with the horse thief to deal with him tonight.

Although there were many tents in the camp, as Dou Dan was the leader of these people, the tents were naturally the largest and the best. Chen Wei found Dou Dan's tent without searching for long.

Seeing the pitch-black tent, Chen Wei quietly poked over it, with his ear pressed against the canvas of the tent, he heard a rough snoring sound from inside the tent.

"Resting so early must be for tonight's action." Chen Wei thought in his heart.

Just when Chen Wei was about to sneak into the tent and kill Dou Dan, a patrolling soldier walked by suddenly, and he was spotted by the other party. The crashing sound.

But Dou Dan was vigilant and didn't fall into a deep sleep. When he heard some movement, he woke up suddenly, and said in a low voice: "Who?"

Chen Wei cried out bitterly in his heart, quickened his wisdom, squeezed his throat and squeezed out a voice: "Master Dou, I am someone sent by Mr. Wang, and I have something important to tell you."

Dou Dan seemed to have just woken up and couldn't turn his head around all of a sudden, so he was stunned for a moment.

Chen Wei heard that there was no sound in the tent, and hurriedly continued: "Master Wang asked me to tell you that the plan has changed, and we have decided not to set up an ambush in the canyon!"

Dou Dan finally came to his senses, and when he heard the word "ambush in the canyon", his tense nerves relaxed a little bit, but he was not so credulous by nature, he picked up the short knife beside the pillow vigilantly, and yelled against the tent: "What new plans does Master Wang have?"

Seeing that Dou Dan was not suspicious, Chen Wei knew that the other party was tricking him, so he took the opportunity to say: "It's not suitable to talk outside, Lord Dou let the villain enter the tent to talk about it."

Dou Dan suddenly became suspicious, and said in a low voice, "If you have anything to say, just say it."

Chen Wei didn't expect Dou Dan to be so cautious, so he had to take another gamble and said: "Master Wang said that Xuanyuan Mountain will attack Chen Wei's camp tonight, so you should be a good internal response."

When Chen Wei said this, he had already drawn his dagger, and if the situation changed slightly, he would kill Dou Dan even if he was trapped.

But to Chen Wei's relief, Dou Dan seemed relieved when he heard the night attack, and even opened the tent and walked out.

Chen Weiwei was shocked, suddenly saw Dou Dan's black shadow and couldn't see his face, he stopped his impulse in his heart, it was pitch black outside the tent, he couldn't see Dou Dan's face clearly, presumably Dou Dan couldn't see his own appearance clearly either.

Dou Dan was bare upper body, holding a big knife in his hand. After walking out of the camp, he looked at Chen Wei, could only see a vague outline, and couldn't help frowning and said: "You look familiar, what's your brother's name?"

Seeing that he was almost recognized by the other party, Chen Wei quickly said: "The villain is just a village soldier in the master's mansion, maybe Brother Dou has seen the villain in his usual visits.

Dou Dan didn't doubt it when he heard it.Chen Wei took the opportunity to come forward and said, "Master Wang still asked Master Dou to..."

"Stand there and talk!" Dou Dan shouted, "Also, what are you holding in your hand?"

The dagger in Chen Wei's hand was not out of its sheath yet, so it was pitch black and he couldn't see clearly.

"Master Wang is afraid that Lord Dou suspects the identity of the villain, so he specially brought a personal token for the villain." Chen Wei lowered his head, took the opportunity to walk over with the dagger in his hands, his eyes fixed on the knife in Dou Dan's hand.

"You stand and throw things over!" Dou Dan shouted.
