Rogue master in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 95
After Jia Xu and Chen Wei decided to abandon the original route and return, they entered the Yellow River along the Si River in two large boats with 300 people.Chen Wei personally selected a group of able-bodied soldiers as spies, a group of five riders, two groups at the front and rear, and two groups at the left and right, a total of eight groups. Two ships sailed down the Yellow River, and the spies went ashore to spy. policy security.

At dusk, it had been a day's journey to leave Sishui and enter the Yellow River. After the pursuers behind him gradually disappeared, Chen Wei breathed a sigh of relief.After fighting hard the night before, and rushing on the road again yesterday, he couldn't rest for a while. On the third day, Chen Wei took the opportunity to hide in the cabin and fell asleep.When I woke up, it was already late at night.Chen Wei didn't expect to sleep for a day and a night. When he checked the knife wound on his body, he found that it had scabbed over. Chen Wei knew it was due to the miraculous effect of yin and yang energy.If you can use the energy of Yin and Yang to fight, your strength will definitely increase greatly.But when Chen Wei tried to get lucky, the yin and yang energy disappeared without a trace like a naughty naughty boy.Regarding this, Chen Wei couldn't help but feel helpless.

Zhuge Liang once said that as long as he practiced the Tai'a Nine Swords to the peak, he could generate yin and yang qi in his body, but Chen Wei had yin and yang qi without practicing at all, so he is a miracle.After Zhuge Liang gave the sword manual of "Nine Swords of Tai'a" to Chen Wei before leaving, he began to practice Nine Swords of Tai'an hard in Chang'an. The stage of the first sword.

"Although I have yin and yang qi in my body, to be able to control it, I'm afraid I have to practice "Tai'a Nine Swords" to the ninth sword." Chen Wei thought in his heart.

Although he is fleeing now, Chen Wei has time to practice swordsmanship.After sleeping for a day and a night, his physical strength was almost recovered. He walked out of the cabin and went up to the bow, only to see the moon and stars were sparse, and the Yellow River flowed unhurriedly under the boat.This section of the waterway is relatively gentle, and the water is not rushing.

When several guards on night shift saw Chen Wei, they saluted one after another.Chen Wei signaled them to hurry up, and then began to practice "Tai Ah Nine Swords" alone on the deck.Although Chen Wei didn't bring the sword book with him, he had already memorized the entire "Tai'a Nine Swords" by heart with his vivid memory.

In the dead of night, only the sound of running water and sword wind.The quiet environment greatly helped Chen Wei maintain his state during sword practice. Although he failed to break through the first sword and stepped into the second sword, Chen Wei also had a great understanding.

Before he knew it, Chen Wei practiced all night.There is a white belly in the east, and a new day is coming.

Chen Wei stopped the sword in his hand and looked up. This section of the Yellow River is about [-] feet wide and flows between the banks of the huge rocks. The water and grass in the river are luxuriant. The strong contrast that makes the heart tremble, reveals an indescribable mysterious beauty.On the upper reaches there are many perilous peaks, towering cliffs, where the terrain is flat, with gurgling water and green trees, and further down is a vast wilderness.

"I didn't expect the Yellow River to be so beautiful 2000 years ago." Chen Wei couldn't help but lamented how much damage to the environment was done by the later generations.

But at some point, Jia Xu also came to the deck.Chen Wei admires the wisdom Jia Xu has shown these days, and Chen Wei knows how to use Jia Xu well. Both of them get what they get, and their relationship is sincere and reliable. Although they are in an enemy situation, the two of them have no panic at the moment. meaning.

Jia Xu once traveled down the Yellow River and traveled around the Central Plains. He was very familiar with the terrain and said to Chen Wei: "From here to Guandu, there is an official road to go, but Cao Cao will definitely set up defenses and camps on the road. There is a beacon tower. And the other party found us coming down the waterway. According to the report from the scouts, Cao Jun has dispatched naval forces to chase them. Get off the boat here, and there is another mountain road going north to Jiguan, but the road is rough and difficult, we have to abandon our horses and walk."

After thinking for a while, Chen Wei said decisively: "As long as we can make Cao Jun guess unexpectedly, a harder journey is better than losing our lives."

"Since this is the case, there is a dense forest and quagmire twenty miles ahead. Our big ship can pretend to be stranded there, so that Cao Jun will mistakenly think that we disembarked there, and will definitely send troops to pursue it; while we will disembark at the next mountain road and go north on foot. It must be difficult for the opponent to guess that we would take a long way, and when the opponent reacts, it will be enough to delay for two days, and when we chase after us, we have already entered the mountains, the mountains are vast, the forests are lush and the valleys are deep, Cao Jun will not be easy to search for us!" Jia Xu said .

After making the decision, the fleet continued for twenty miles, and there was indeed a quagmire just as Jia Xu said.

Chen Wei saw the shaking of the water surface, looked back and saw the dust billowing in the distance, there must be a large number of enemy cavalry chasing after him.

Chen Wei immediately asked the sailors to drive the boat into the quagmire. After the big boat ran aground, he ordered all three hundred soldiers to enter the dense forest, and then continued northward.

Although it is only autumn, the leaves are already falling in the north.Especially in the world 2000 years ago, the world outside the city still retains its mysterious and moving original appearance.The ground in the forest is full of yellow leaves, and Chen Wei is not afraid of leaving traces of the march, because in less than a day, the fallen leaves will cover it again.

At the beginning, this mountain road was mostly low-lying hills or plains, but as it went deeper, it gradually entered the high mountains, surrounded by dense forests, emerald green mountains, and even groups of animals can be seen. Wander around.No wonder Jia Xu thought that after entering the mountains, he would not be afraid of Cao Jun's pursuit.There are dense forests and dark trails everywhere in the deep mountains. After a group of 300 people entered, it was like entering a yellow-green ocean.

It was approaching dusk, and the soldiers had traveled for a long time. Chen Wei chose to camp on a high slope that was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and asked the soldiers to start a fire. Because he was afraid that the smoke would attract the attention of the pursuers, Chen Wei deliberately chose the disadvantage. On the slope, the smoke has not yet risen, but it has been blown away by the mountain wind.

For the sake of prudence, Chen Wei did not forget to send scouts to investigate, and if he found the enemy, he would report back immediately.

In Chenwei's big tent, Chenwei and Jia Xu sat around the table, enjoying dinner and discussing the next itinerary.

During the period, Chen Wei did not forget to ask Jia Xu about the way of war and the art of war. Jia Xu talked about the changes and situation of the war, and Chen Wei was fascinated by it.

Jia Xu said: "In war, the most important thing is to make a quick battle and strive for a quick victory. If the battle is prolonged, the army will be exhausted and its spirit will be dampened, and the strength will be exhausted when attacking the city. Moreover, sending troops out for a long time will make the country weaker. financial difficulties, resulting in insufficient supply."

Chen Wei nodded, and agreed: "This time we burn the grain and grass that Cao Jun hoarded in the first place, and Cao Cao's subsequent supply will become a problem. I am afraid that Cao Jun will not be as easy as before to capture Luoyang today."

Jia Xu shook his head and said, "If you think this way, you underestimate Cao Cao too much. Cao Cao will have more than one grain store. And Guo Si asked the general to burn the grain. He doesn't think the general can succeed at all. We have already There has been no news for several days, maybe Guo Si has already had a big banquet in Luoyang, thinking that we have gone and never returned."

Chen Wei was resentful, but after entering Luoyang, he was emptied of military power by Guo Bang, and became a bachelor general in name only.

Jia Xu seemed to see Chen Wei's thoughts, and pondered for a moment.

Seeing that Jia Xu had something to say, Chen Wei cupped his hands and said, "Sir, it's okay to say something."

Jia Xu put down the wooden chopsticks and said solemnly: "General, when Jia was in Tongguan, Jia feared that the general was Dong Zhuo's man, so he restrained his words a bit, but after spending time with the general these days, he already knew that the general is an upright person. That being the case, I, Jia Xu, have nothing to worry about, I know everything and say everything, in order to repay the general's kindness of knowing people."

Chen Wei frowned, straightened his clothes, and listened attentively.

"General, in today's troubled times, the etiquette of the monarch and his ministers has been corrupted. The princes support their soldiers and respect themselves, and they don't pay attention to the emperor at all. Dong Zhuo is the worst. Since he came to Luoyang, he has no name as a monarch, but he has the reality of a monarch. The officials dare Angry but afraid to speak, why?" Jia Xu looked at Chen Wei.

Chen Wei suddenly woke up.

Jia Xu nodded with a smile, "That's right, because Dong Zhuo has [-] armored soldiers from Liangzhou!"

"General, although you are a hussar general, you are already second only to the third lord, and you can be said to have great power, but why did you come to Luoyang, but Guo Si took away the general's [-] soldiers with just one sentence, and easily emptied the power? Jia Xu sighed: "Because the soldiers belong to Dong Zhuo after all, not to you, General."

Chen Wei was enlightened, and suddenly thought of the crux of the problem.

"If you want to achieve great things, you must have soldiers who are loyal to you." Jia Xu continued: "So in the chaotic world where the rules and rites are falling apart, you just have a grand title of general, and your real power is not even as small as a place. Officials, or bandits who occupy the mountain as king, at least the other party really has their own soldiers."

Chen Wei sighed unceasingly, thinking that he used to be complacent about being a Hussar General, but now thinking about it, how embarrassing he is.

"If the general wants to have a place in the troubled times, he must have his own soldiers and his own territory." Jia Xu said.

Chen Wei groaned and remained silent. In the troubled times, the princes and governors who support their own troops will fight for the division of land. He has all the skills, but he has no soldiers. It is not easy to obtain a base area of ​​his own.

At this moment, Chen Wei doesn't know that he has gradually entered the world, and the idea of ​​returning to the past life and the modern age has gradually diminished.

"How can I have my own soldiers and my own base?" Chen Wei couldn't help asking.

Jia Xu stroked his beard slightly, stared at Chen Wei, and slowly squeezed out a sentence: "There are many methods, but there is one premise..."

"That is, we must first get rid of Dong Zhuo."

Chen Wei was taken aback, it was easy to leave Dong Zhuo at this moment, but Chang'an had someone he cared about day and night, it was unrealistic for Chen Wei to leave Dong Zhuo at this moment.

And Jia Xu obviously thought of this, and said: "Of course, Jia has a method, which is a good strategy for the general."

"Sir, please tell me." Chen Wei asked hastily.

"Kill Guo Si and take Luoyang's [-] troops as his own." Jia Xu's eyes widened and he said these words firmly.

Chen Wei shuddered and looked at Jia Xu in astonishment.
