Rogue master in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 176
"In the past two days, we have evacuated most of the people and supplies step by step, but there are too many people in Yiyang, with [-] households close to [-] people. If we don't march with our army, it may slow down our evacuation from Yiyang, and Yiyang It's hundreds of miles to Luoyang, Cao Jun will probably catch up before half the distance," Mi Lan said.

"But we must not abandon the common people, run away by ourselves?" Zhang Fei held the drumstick in his hand, his mouth full of oil.After finishing speaking, he looked at his brother Liu Bei.Seeing Liu Bei nodding, he grinned triumphantly.

Guan Yu glared at him, and the guy lowered his head and continued to eat meat, chewing "delicious, delicious" while yelling at the servant to serve the wine.

Sun Hou said: "Relying on the advantage that Cao Cao's military strength is far superior to ours, Cao Cao has sent heavy troops to blockade the Anlin Wangpo area, strictly controlling the infiltration of our spies and scouts. If we block the wind like this, I am afraid there is some conspiracy behind the scenes."

"The so-called know the enemy and know yourself, and you can fight a hundred battles. We don't even know the enemy's situation. We are already at a disadvantage before this battle. Didn't we send more scouts to inquire?" Chen Wei frowned and asked.

Jia Xu retracted his sleeves, with a solemn face, and said: "Cao Cao and Kongtong Mountain have formed an alliance, and there are a large number of Kongtong Guards deployed around Songshan Mountain. These Kongtong Guards are far more capable than ordinary soldiers. The soldiers we sent out Most of the scouts have never heard from, and there is no news report."

Chen Wei's face changed slightly, he didn't expect that he didn't pay attention to this during the two days of recuperation.Right now Yiyang City is evacuating people and supplies. It is a time when the city is empty and its defenses are weakest. If Cao Jun attacks at this time, I am afraid that the losses will be heavy.

"Is there any way to delay Cao Jun's attack schedule?" Guan Yu asked.

"The important thing is that we don't even know when Cao Jun will attack." Zhao Yun shook his head.

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and finally their eyes fell on Chen Wei and Liu Bei in the front seat.

"I think what Lieutenant Sun said just now is correct. The reason why Cao Cao sealed the news is that he has other plans behind the scenes..." Liu Bei frowned and thought for a while, then said: We estimated in advance that it would only take three days to evacuate Yiyang. But ignoring the speed of the people's travel, I am afraid that once Cao Cao gets Yiyang City, he will send cavalry to chase and intercept him on the way. "

Jia Xu nodded and said, "Now the main force of Cao's army is stationed in [Changshe City], which is a hundred miles away from Yiyang. It is separated from us by Songshan Mountain. If Cao Cao wants to attack the city, he will be able to attack the city within two days. Leave it to us." We don't have much time. We can only make countermeasures if we know when Cao Cao will attack the city. If Cao Cao attacks the city in the next two days, I'm afraid we will have no choice but to abandon the people in the city."

"No, abandoning the common people and ignoring them, what's the difference between me and Cao Cao?" Liu Bei shook his head immediately.

Jia Xu was at a loss for words, shook her head secretly, and had no choice but to look at Chen Wei.

Chen Wei lightly stroked the wine glass in his hand, and after a moment of thought, he said, "In that case, I'll go there myself."

"General, are you going to visit Cao Ying?" Sun Hou asked in surprise.

"No, Chen Wei, have you forgotten my instructions?" Jia Xu frowned.

Guan Yu glanced at Chen Wei, and then said: "I have fought against Kongtong Guards, and they are all masters carefully trained by Kongtong Mountain. It may not be easy for you to cross the defense line of Songshan Mountain alone."

Chen Wei squinted his eyes slightly. At the beginning, he almost died at the hands of Sima Yi. Now that his strength has increased greatly, Chen Wei is quite looking forward to meeting Sima Yi.

He said: "I am only going to spy on the military situation this time, and there will not be too much danger. And... I am confident."

"Although I don't doubt your strength, Chen Wei, I'm afraid it's very dangerous to go deep into Cao Ying." Zhao Yun said, "How about I go with you?"

"I'm going too!" Zhang Fei's eyes sparkled.

"Third brother, don't make trouble. It's not a war. If you go, it will only cause bad things!" Guan Yu said.

"It's not a bad thing for him to go, and it's not a bad thing for Zilong to go. It's a bad thing for me? Huh, I'm invincible with a spear, and I just lead my troops to kill it as I said. Why is it so troublesome?" Zhang Fei spat out a bone, slapped the table and shouted.

Zhang Fei glanced at it with staring eyes, and shouted: "Hey, what do you mean by not talking, express your opinion whether it is good or bad!"

Liu Bei took half a sip of wine slowly, raised his head, and said softly, "Actually, I have a way."

Everyone who was drinking stuffed wine raised their heads and looked at Liu Bei.

"I have a sister who is in the arms business and belongs to the largest military workshop in and outside the pass. She entered the pass this time to do business with Cao Cao. The caravan happened to pass by us..." Liu Bei looked at Chen Wei, "If Yes, Chen Wei, you can pretend to be a member of the caravan and sneak into Changshe City."

As soon as Chen Wei heard it, he knew that Liu Bei was referring to Mr. Ji Xin, but even though he knew that Mr. Ji Xin was the head of the 'Liu's Bingfang', he did not expect that Liu's Bingfang would cooperate with Cao Cao.

"Liu Gong, would Cao Cao be willing to cooperate with Liu's Bingfang?" Chen Wei asked in surprise.After all, Liu's Bingfang has a more or less relationship with Liu Bei. I am afraid not many people are willing to cooperate with the enemy's clan, right?

"Chen Wei, you don't know something..." Jia Xu explained: "In the past, the government restricted the sale of weapons, but in the past hundred years, the world has collapsed, and the private sale of weapons has become more and more popular. Among them, Liu’s Bingfang is the most powerful Bingfang in the Southwest region, and the weapons they forge are the most famous in the Guanzhong region, and they have business dealings with Dong Zhuo and Yuan Shao..."

Chen Wei was stunned, it seemed that these arms dealers were all self-contained and only engaged in business. Because of this neutrality, local forces would often choose cooperation instead of confrontation.

"I wonder when Ji Xinjun's business group will leave?" Chen Wei asked.

"Because of my daughter's illness, she only stayed in Yiyang for a few days. She just asked me to resign today, and she will leave tomorrow." Liu Bei said, "I will discuss with her tonight. Come on, promise to help us!"
