Three Kingdoms: My Wife Is Diao Chan

Chapter 189 Ling Tong Humiliated His Mission
Chapter 190 Ling Tong Humiliated His Mission
After Cao Chong gave his orders, he said to Xiahou Ba, "Let's go! Let's go see how General Ling Tong is doing."

Ling Tong has brought his troops and reinforcements together.

"Ling Tong has insulted his mission and ruined his military prestige! Please punish him, young master!"

"General Ling Tong, please rise up! Victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs, and the responsibility this time is not yours." Cao Chong hurriedly helped Ling Tong up.

"You rest for a while, and take the injured brothers back to Luoyang first."

"Young master, Ling Tong can still fight again!" Ling Tong was aggrieved and wanted to vent his anger!

"What are we going to fight again? Don't take the credit for chasing the rabbit with Zhao Yun!" Cao Chong said with a smile.

"Young master, this is General Zhao?"

Ling Tong had already seen something was wrong, he had suffered from the lack of people, what was Zhao Yun doing?It's like chasing a rabbit.

"General Ling Tong, don't you wonder how so many bandits came here? I let Zhao Yun chase the rabbits like this, and I can always find the den of bandits."

"Young master is brilliant!"

"Stop complimenting, you've had enough rest, go back quickly. There are so many things going on in Luoyang now, and the military officer is probably too busy for Lu Xun alone, so you can just help him when you go back."

Before Cao Chong left, he said to Ling Tong: "When you go back, send a message to Cao Yan, asking him to closely investigate the recent changes in Yichuan County!"

"Decree!" Ling led his troops back to Luoyang.

Cao Chong also joined Zhao Yun's army of chasing rabbits.

At night, in the bandit camp, the exhausted bandits sat or lay there to rest. Several leaders discussed what to do tomorrow in front of the campfire.
"Chen Datou! This is different from what you said. I have killed more than ten brothers. What do you think should be done?"

"That's right, you said that Luoyang Ling was a baby, so there was nothing to worry about. Now that so many of my brothers have died, you have to give an explanation today!"

"What are you explaining? We said that Luoyang Ling is a little kid who lied to you? They are all scumbags and they will die! When they took money back then, they were not merciless." A dwarf next to Chen Datou said viciously.

"Didn't you say that there will be so many officers and soldiers?"

"There must be an explanation today, it's a big deal and it's two pieces!"

"Shut up! One shot and two shots? Two stupid donkeys, didn't you find that the officers and soldiers are deliberately driving us south?" Chen Datou shouted.

"It seems to be! What are the officers and soldiers trying to do?"

"Hmph! It's you two idiots who broke the big deal!"

"Chen Datou, don't think I'm afraid of you! Who are you calling an idiot? Who did something bad?"

"Hmph! If you two weren't greedy for life and afraid of death, we would have finished the first team of officers and soldiers long ago, and would we still wait until the officers and soldiers send reinforcements?"

"It's easy to say, why don't you go, we have fought against each other anyway, what are you doing with so many people besides watching?"

"Okay, stop arguing! Let's think about what to do tomorrow?" The tall and slender man beside Chen Datou said in a low voice.

"Fourth brother Cui, what do you think this officer and soldier wants to do? Do they want to drive us to Yichuan?"

"I don't know, we have to go back anyway, let's go south if we go south."

Cui Si said to the two bandit leaders again: "Don't you guys want to split up? Okay! Let's go separately tomorrow, so that the officers and soldiers can be dispersed."

It was impossible to split up. Whenever the bandits wanted to disperse and escape, they would find officers and soldiers ambushing at the fork in the road. Once a bandit ran towards the fork, it would be covered by a rain of arrows.

After several experiments and dozens of corpses left behind, the bandits got together honestly and continued heading south.

The bandits also found that the officers and soldiers didn't intend to kill them all, and they were hanging not far from both sides behind them. As long as they walked south honestly, the officers and soldiers would ignore them.

In this way, the two teams wandered around the mountains and forests for a day in a very tacit understanding.

"It seems that the officers and soldiers are indeed driving us south, Brother Cui, what should we do?" Chen Datou asked.

"The officers and soldiers can't be rushed away like this!" Cui Si said.

"Tomorrow we will disperse and escape in Xiangkelin." Cui Si said to everyone.

"Why should we disperse? Didn't we try today? We lost dozens of brothers."

"That's right, the officers and soldiers want us to go all the way south, so let's go south, at worst we can go all the way to Yichuan."

The two bandit leaders were not happy.

"Idiot! Tomorrow, after passing Xiangkelin, you will go south to Heifeng Gorge. You don't know how dangerous that place is? Officers and soldiers just need to throw a few stones down the canyon, and they can kill a lot of people." Chen Datou growled.

"You mean the officers and soldiers are going to annihilate us in the Black Wind Canyon?"

"Would you like to try?"

"But today we were blocked by officers and soldiers several times when we split up."

"If you say you are stupid, you are still stubborn! Xiangkelin is a big forest, and there are several passages from east to west. First drill into the forest, and then run separately. How far can the bows and arrows of the officers and soldiers shoot in the dense forest? They can also kill everyone outside the forest. Mouth blocked??"

If Cao Chong heard what they said, he would definitely say: "I can really block them all!"

The thieves knew that they were scattered in Xiangkelin, so didn't Cao Chong know about it?
The dense forest does limit the combat power, and it is really difficult to take care of too many intersections, but it can be prepared in advance!

When Cao Chong heard about Xiang Kelin's situation from Chen Liu'er, he sent Zhao Yun to go there ahead of time. Zhao Yun was leading people to cut wood and build fortifications overnight!

It was already the third day that Cao Chong had entered the forest.

According to yesterday's plan, the bandits quickly dispersed after getting into Xiang Kelin, and found that the officers and soldiers did not follow in.

Very good!The thieves quickly divided into several groups, and ran towards each exit excitedly!
"It's not good! There are officers and soldiers here, and the exit is blocked by wood..."

"It's not good, there are fences here, horses are repelled, and the officers and soldiers are shooting arrows..."

……

The bandits who scattered and ran away gathered together again in the middle of the woods.

"Chen Datou! What should we do now? The exits on both sides are blocked!"

"Fuck them! I don't think officers and soldiers dare to enter the forest. If they dare to come in, they will fight with them!"

"That's right, fight! The trees here are so dense, their bows and arrows are useless..."

"Cough! Cough!...Smoke..."

"...Smoke! Cough! Officers and soldiers are setting fire to the forest..."

"What vicious officers and soldiers! Cough!"

"Cough! Go south! I'd rather be stoned than burned!"

"Let's go! Let's go together! There is still a chance to survive through the Black Wind Canyon!"

All the bandits started running south like a swarm.

Cao Chong and Xia Houba were resting not far from Xiangkelin.

Seeing the bandits start running south, Xia Houba said happily, "It's really easy to deceive! It's just thick smoke, who dares to lightly set fire in this deep mountain? What if you accidentally smoked yourself to death?"

Cao Chong gave him a contemptuous look.

"I don't know who said to burn this forest down with a fire?"

"Didn't I see the bandits hiding in the woods and not come out, so I was impatient!" Xia Houba laughed.

"You will still be my bodyguard honestly in the future. If you have to lead soldiers, it is easy to play yourself to death!"

The bandits ran away, and Xia Houba didn't mean to see that Cao Chong hadn't got up yet.

"Young master, don't we follow?"
