At night, Cao Zhang's embarrassed horse galloped in the wilderness, only one or two hundred horsemen were left behind him, chasing and killing along the way, chasing and intercepting, he found at least a dozen Eastern Wu generals, each of whom almost had a great reputation.
He was brave enough to fight, but he couldn't keep fighting, and he was now thirsty and hungry, and the feeling of fatigue was enough to make him faint.
"Over this mountain, there is Lu Long in front, General Lejin is marching fast, he must have led the army to meet us in Lu Long City, and you will be in good spirits."
"Whoa."
Suddenly, the war horse under Cao Zhang's body fell forward, and he tried to roll when he landed, but after his body made heavy contact with the ground, he was still smashed.
"General."
"The general is alright."
For a moment, the guards behind him all turned over and dismounted, reaching out to help him up.
"General, get on your horse and keep marching."
A guard brought a war horse, but saw Cao Zhang wave his hand.
"My jade lion is a gift from my father, it is very spiritual, in the mountains and forests in front of this, if there are either fierce beasts and insects, or there are enemy ambushes, otherwise it will not run hundreds of miles in one night and be so unbearable."
"General, what should we do?"
"East, west, north and south, there are pursuers on all sides, Lulongcheng is surrounded by water on one side and mountains on three sides, we have abandoned our horses, lost our armor, and drilled into the mountains and forests, I am afraid that there will be a way to live."
"But General, since the enemy army has appeared here, I'm afraid it is Lu Longcheng."
Cao Zhang closed his eyes in pain, "General Lejin will never fail me." ” One or two hundred people threw off their armor and wore turbans and walked towards the mountains and forests, but twenty or thirty wounded soldiers did not want to dismount, only to see them bow their hands towards Cao Zhang, "General, we are driving the horses to the south, when we can lure the pursuers, you can go quickly." ” Cao Zhanghu's eyes were full of tears, and he could only bow solemnly in the direction they rode away.
"Driving" "Driving" When the brigade pursued our army to pursue themselves with the messy horseshoe prints on the road, Cao Zhang's party of more than 100 people lurked in the mountains and forests, and stood up with palpitations.
"Liaodong is too shou Gongsun Du, and Yuan Xi must have one of these two people to provide horses for the Wu army, otherwise the Jiangdong army will not be able to transport so many horses from Qingzhou across the sea."
"General, the general is holding a banner with the word "Lu", this person is Lu Xun, the governor of Liaodong who was personally appointed by Liu Qi, the king of Wu."
"Lu Xun is not such an old man, he should be Lu Jun in the Xuzhou camp."
"Lu Jun, isn't he the deputy general under Zhang Liao, the governor of Xuzhou in Eastern Wu?"
Cao Zhangman nodded solemnly, "The year before last, Yuan Tan's soldiers were defeated and died, because of the cooperation of Tai Shici, Zhang Liao's light cavalry, and heavy cavalry, and the bravery of these two people was not under Wen Chou, and even Wen Chou's 10,000 iron cavalry were defeated so quickly. ” Climbing up the hillside with his blade all the way, Cao Zhang looked at the slippery road ahead, his eyes full of confusion.
"General, I have sent someone to Lulong, and after discovering the defenders in Lulong City, I will inform us of the news."
"But what if he is captured in the city," Cao Zhang sighed lightly, "Don't stop, let's go over the mountains and mountains and go to Qian'an." ” "Whoa."
The rain was pouring down, and when a sergeant was shot dead in front of the city gate, Zhou Tai glanced at the mountains and forests in the distance with a puzzled face, "Cao Zhang'er is so cautious that he didn't even throw himself into Lu Long" At this moment, he was still wearing Cao Jun's armor, and if he didn't look closely, he couldn't see his carefulness.
"Report to the governor, General Lu Jun came to report, our army caught up with the remnants of Cao Zhang, there are one or two hundred exhausted war horses, but Cao Zhang is not in the army."
Zhou Tai's eyebrows furrowed slightly: "There are captives" "Back to the governor, these wounded soldiers are all Cao Zhang's old department, and none of them are willing to reveal Cao Zhang's whereabouts, and they were all shot on the spot."
Zhou Tai stared at the scouts under the city and glanced at the lieutenant general beside him, "Where is the Le Jinjun?"
"Back to the governor, after Le Jin led the army to cross the Lushui River, he marched all the way to the southeast coast, and the scouts of our army have lost the enemy's movements."
Zhou Tai's eyebrows furrowed slightly, "Lejin is not a mediocre person, this person is good at fighting, and most of his soldiers are also old subordinates who have followed him for many years, but I am afraid that crossing the river is true, but going south to the coast for search and rescue is false." ” "Pass the order, gather troops and horses, go out of the city, and chase and kill Cao Zhang along the nearby mountains and forests."
"Governor, I'm afraid that if I go out of the city at this time, I will encounter Le Jinjun."
"Encountering tens of thousands of troops in the coastal area of Liaoxi County, there are only more than ten miles apart, it doesn't matter, even if our army encounters Lejin, it will not be defeated in a short time."
The city gate was wide open, and Zhou Tai left 2,000 people to guard the town, and then led 8,000 people to send additional scouts along the nearby mountains and forests.
He ordered the scouts to gallop through the mountain trails, with one in front and the other following hundreds of paces apart.
After sending hundreds of scouts back and forth, he finally found some footprints near the edge of the mountain forest.
"Governor, the footprints are very light, I'm afraid that Cao Zhang and the others have abandoned their armor and traveled lightly in the mountains and forests."
"How many Shanyue people are in our army?"
"When you return to the governor, there should be seven or eight hundred people."
Among the Shanyue people, there are also many tribes who rely on water to build villages, and there are many people who are good at water, and they were even selected by Zhou Tai to be among the water masters.
"Assemble quickly, and follow the Pontus in the mountains and forests."
"Whoa."
"The governor is the weight of an army, and the enemy should not be lightly attacked, please hand over the crossbow to the last general, and the last general is willing to lead the army into the forest, and swear to capture Cao Zhang."
A member of the colonel suddenly came out and shouted.
"Wu Ban, I will hand over to you two thousand elite soldiers to search the mountains and forests, send four or five more people and a small team to search, and the brigade will follow, and the distance between them shall not exceed five miles."
"Dudu, this mountain is not steep, nor is it strong, and the last general will only lead more than 700 elite soldiers from Shanyue to pursue it."
"That's fine."

Seeing Wu Ban lead the army into the forest, Zhou Taiqing's face was complicated, "There are one hundred and twenty-seven Wugong warriors in the current year, this person is ranked after Ling Tong, Ding Feng, and Lu Kai, but his martial arts can be ranked in the top three, chasing Cao Zhang, who is at the end of the road, and there are Shanyue warriors, so there should be no accidents." ” "Order, send additional sentry horses, and when patrolling the mountains, we also want the local Lejin to lead the army to sneak attack."
"Whoa."
After a while, Zhou Tai still led the army to search in the mountains and forests with torches, and it was here that a wolf howl suddenly came from the mountains and forests in the distance.
"Report to the governor, wolves have been found in the mountains."
"But it's coming towards our army" "There are one or two hundred wolves, but I ordered the soldiers to fire arrows and have repelled them."
Zhou Tai breathed a sigh of relief.
But he heard the herald speak: "The crossbow team ordered the sergeant to peel off the wolf's belly, and found that there were human bones in the wolf's belly, and blood stains were found between the wolf's teeth. ” Zhou Tai's face was slightly shocked, "Could it be that Cao Zhang'er didn't leave, he was staring at us in the mountains and forests around here before":
