Chapter 437
Jiang Wei quickly returned to the hall, added another lamp to illuminate the map even brighter, and quickly found the location of Jiumu Pavilion.
Jiumu Pavilion is more than 60 miles south of Xianxia Pavilion. It is the first pavilion after entering Xianxia Mountain and the gathering point of several branches.
After Cao Zuan arrived at Jiumu Pavilion, he might choose to continue walking on the official road and forcefully break through Xianxia Pavilion. He might also avoid the real and the weak, choose other paths to avoid head-on conflicts. No matter which path he chooses, after he comes out of the mountain, he will face the interception of the soldiers of the Wu army and counties. The only difference is in which county.
Jiang Wei even hoped to intercept Cao Zhan himself. Only in this way can he rob Cao Miao.
"Set out and go to Jiumu Pavilion."
After hearing this, the two team leaders looked at each other in a hurry. "Now?"
Jiang Wei nodded solemnly. "It's not too late, right now, be sure to rush to Jiumu Pavilion before dawn."
The two team leaders were stunned and looked at Jiang Wei with an idiot's eyes. It would be fine to operate at night, but they had to travel sixty miles to meet the enemy, instead of waiting for Cao Zun to come to the door with ease. What tactic is this?
To prevent Cao Zuan from being too tired and having too obvious advantages, so he should take the initiative to meet him?
Jiang Wei had no intention of explaining to them. He knew that these tiger infantrymen were not convinced by him, and thought that he had been favored by the prime minister, so he rose to prominence. The explanation was meaningless, and the result was the result. When he captured Cao Miao and sent him to Chengdu, everyone would be rewarded, and all doubts would disappear naturally.
Jiang Wei issued a military order, but the two teams did not dare to disobey, so they had to take the order, and each called their own Tiger Buying and set off for Jiumuting.
While Jiang Wei ordered his personal guard to prepare, he invited the head of Xianxia Pavilion to explain some things.
Half an hour later, Jiang Wei led his troops to leave Xianxia Pavilion and headed straight for Jiumu Pavilion.
At the time of Ling Ming? Jiang Wei arrived ten miles north of Jiumu Pavilion.
Marching late at night? The unfamiliar terrain inevitably affects morale and the speed of the march? Jiang Wei was in a very bad mood.
The tiger infantry were in a bad mood. They rushed for more than fifty miles overnight? And they were mountain roads. Even if the tiger infantry was an elite of Shu Han, they were famous for their good at mountain combat? Are they still so tired that they were tilted? Many soldiers were resentful and greeted Jiang Wei's female relatives.
Many people even think that Jiang Wei doesn’t treat them as human beings? He treats them as wild beasts.
Listening to the chattering sounds in the team? Jiang Wei ignored him without saying a word.
Sitting on the war horse, he saw the smoke from the direction of Jiumu Pavilion in the distance. After hesitating, he realized that it was not the smoke from the morning cooking stove, but the fireworks caused by the building during the war. Jiumu Pavilion is in the mountains? There is less wood and more bamboo? Most of the houses are made of bamboo? It is easy to burn.
Jiang Wei immediately sent two knights to Jiumuting to reconnaissance? At the same time, he ordered everyone to prepare for battle.
With a command, the tiger infantry who were still full of resentment immediately entered the battle state, and the knife was unsheathed? The arrow was rolled and the shield was facing both sides, ready to face the rain of arrows at any time.
——
Cao Zhan lay in the bamboo forest beside him, looking at the tiger infantrymen who were fully alert and praised himself.
He is worthy of being the elite of Shu Han and the person Zhuge Liang likes. This vigilance is worthy of praise. If Jiang Wei is a little careless and only rushes to Jiumuting, he can severely damage them with just one order.
Now, he could only watch Jiang Wei pass by.
After a marching force of ninety miles overnight, everyone was exhausted. There might be some chance of winning the sneak attack, and there would be no doubt that the fight would be defeated.
He saw with his own eyes that the armor and swords on the Shu army were excellent. In a one-on-one contest, his subordinates might not be the opponents of these tiger infantry, not to mention that his troops were not as strong as Jiang Wei.
Seeing Jiang Wei over, Cao Zun signaled his subordinates to continue waiting. He had just walked to the depths of the bamboo forest.
Cao Miao and Xiahou Hui sat opposite each other, only two steps apart, but looked in different directions without any communication.
Cao Zhan smacked his lips secretly and walked to Cao Miao. "Yunliang, Jiang Wei is over."
"Did you see clearly?"
"See clearly. The equipment of these tiger infantry is really good. If you defeat them, I will take them all down and take them away."
"Are they fast? How strong are they maintaining?"
"Medium speed, good physical strength." Cao Zhuan smacked his lips. "These barbarians can really walk, and they are still so energetic after walking dozens of miles of mountain road. I originally thought that Yuangong was useless and could only defend the city. Now I know that there is no chance of winning in the field, unless it is flat."
Xiahou Hui looked at Cao Zhuan in surprise. Cao Zhuan is not a person who talks a lot, so why does he keep talking about the war?
"Then wait for him to come back, and it will take twenty miles to go back and forth. Calculate the time, eat in time, and replenish your energy."
Cao Zhan nodded repeatedly and turned around and left.
Xiahou Hui turned to look at Cao Miao. Although she didn't know what arrangements Cao Miao and Cao Zhuan had, just from these few sentences, she could guess that it was Cao Miao who gave Cao Zhuan advice, mobilized Jiang Wei, and made up for the gap as much as possible and strive for victory, rather than what she thought was perfunctory and dealt with.
"You... did you come up with the idea for Desi?" Xiahou Hui spoke with difficulty. After applying the medicine last night, her foot pain had been relieved a lot, and she had not yet expressed her gratitude to Cao Miao. It was not that she didn't know how to thank her, but that the two of them had been in a cold war and she couldn't speak.
"Just just a little trick that is not elegant." Cao Miao said lightly, looking at the bamboo leaves all over the ground.
Xiahou Hui heard Cao Miao's indifference and closed her mouth awkwardly. After a while, she said again: "Thank you for your medicine."
Cao Miao didn't say anything.
Xiahou Hui sighed, held the maid's arm, stood up slowly, and walked into the depths of the bamboo forest.
Cao Miao frowned. "Where to go? The battle may begin at any time, don't move around."
"Wash your hands." Xiahou Hui was also a little angry.
"Don't go far," Cao Miao straightened his waist and rolled his eyelids. "There is a snake in the bamboo forest." As he said that, he raised his hand and pointed to the ground not far away.
Xiahou Hui looked along his fingers and saw a snake shed vaguely among the bamboo leaves. He was shocked and subconsciously looked around. On the way, she heard the guide reminding him many times that he must guard against snakes when walking on the mountain road. Some snakes are highly venomous, and if they are bitten, they will die and cannot be saved.
In order to verify this statement, the guide also specially caught a snake and let the snake bite the chicken. Xiahou Hui saw with his own eyes that the lively chicken was bitten by the snake, and then twitched for a few times and stopped moving.
In fact, she doesn't have to be bitten by a snake. She feels scared just by seeing the snake's disgusting appearance.
Hearing that there might be snakes in the bamboo forest, the maid was so scared that her legs were weak. She winked at Xiahou Hui and begged in a low voice: "Madam, bear it."
Xiahou Hui was embarrassed and his face was flushed. How could he bear it? He was not very anxious at first, but when Cao Miao was frightened, he was even more anxious and could not bear it. He couldn't just take it off nearby. If the sound was loud and Cao Miao heard it, how could he see people in the future?
"Let's go!" Xiahou Hui gritted his teeth, glared at the maid fiercely, and walked towards the depths of the bamboo forest step by step.
