Three Kingdoms: From Hulaoguan to Global Hegemony

Chapter 146 The Returning Wei Xu

When he was about to leave the woods, Liu Yu saw several Habayashi guards, and there were seven or eight corpses not far from them. Judging from their clothes, they should be the pawns of the warlord camp that Liu Yu let go.

Although they escaped Liu Yu's pursuit by chance, they all died under the arrows of Habayashi Wei in the end.

"Meet the lord!"

Cui Di and Zhou Fang had been waiting for a long time, and as soon as they saw Liu Yu returning from the forest, they quickly took out the clean clothes they had prepared in advance for him to change into.

"After I entered the woods, did you ever see this person come in here?" Liu Yu pointed to Wang Yue who was tied up.

Zhou Fang and Cui Di shook their heads affirmatively after looking at each other.

It seems that Wang Yue entered the woods earlier than Liu Yu, did he really come to carry out the mission with Hu Zhen?
"This person is extremely dangerous. You should quickly send someone to imprison him in the underground palace on the hill! By the way, tell Zhang Da that he can take Yan'er and Cai Laoxian back to Niujia Village to rest tonight, and wait until tomorrow morning with Huangfu Ying's mother and daughter." Go back to Hulao!."

"Young man, let's do it now!" Cui Di led the people to carry Wang Yue and walked deep into the woods.

When Liu Yu asked, he realized that the end of this forest was connected to the small forest where Liu Biao's sentinel was killed that night.

And passing through here is faster than taking the path at the entrance of the village to reach the small hill.

……

The matter here is over, Liu Yu led Zhou Fang and the rest of the people were preparing to go back to the village, only to see dust and sand suddenly rising on the Southeast Avenue, and from a distance, it seemed that a group of people was galloping here.

It didn't take long to see that the other party was wearing the clothes of the Bingzhou Legion, and the leader seemed to be Wei Xu.

Liu Yu turned his head and asked: "Didn't it mean that Wei Xu chased southeast early in the morning? Could it be that he has seen through the previous arrangement in advance?"

Zhou Fang hurriedly replied: "The villain is arranged according to the previous plan, there should be no mistakes. I also wonder why Wei Xu turned back so soon?"

When Wei Xu's people arrived in the village in the morning, it was Zhou Fang who arranged for them to lead them to the southeast, and last night he specially parked the carriage in which Cai Yan and his daughter were sitting beside the official road.

According to common sense, Wei Xu should go to the official road to chase after seeing the carriage for a certain distance, but it’s better to come early, and he can show Hu Zhen’s head to him, so that Liu Yu can save Liu Yu from trying to bring it into the city. inside.

……

In fact, in the morning, Wei Xu led his troops to chase for more than 30 miles along the Southeast Avenue.

Just as he was about to reach the official road, he found a carriage marked with the words "Liu Mansion" parked by the side of the road.

There were only carts and no horses. At that time, Wei Xu thought that the frame of the cart was broken, so Cai Yong and his daughter could only continue to flee south on horseback.

A horse with two people can't run fast at all, so Wei Xu hurriedly organized soldiers with horses to go to the official road to pursue.

But as soon as the formation was formed, Hou Cheng, who was also Lv Bu's lieutenant general, came galloping from the opposite side of the official road leading people.

"Old Hou, you came from the opposite side, have you ever found Cai Yong and his daughter?" Wei Xu asked loudly.

But Hou Cheng replied angrily: "Don't mention it, since I found this carriage last night, I immediately led people to chase it out, but I almost chased it to Nanyang and still didn't find anything!"

After hearing what Hou Cheng said to Wei Xu, he felt that something was wrong here. Cai Yong and his daughter could never run very far on the same horse.

If you can't catch up with someone on the official road, then you must be hiding nearby.

"Have you ever sent someone to search carefully around here?"

"Of course, people were sent to search the surrounding area last night." Hou Cheng spread his hands and signaled that nothing was found nearby.

There was no one on the road, and nothing was found around, so this carriage parked here is a bit suspicious. Could it be that it was deliberately placed here to lure them to chase on the official road?
Before, Wei Xu was frightened by Liu Yu's tricks. He thought that the carriage was parked so conspicuously, but the father and daughter could not be found nearby. It was probably Liu Yu's trick again!

For some reason, he suddenly remembered the small hill in the northeast of Niujia Village. At that time, he felt that it was not a reasonable escape route, so he only left a dozen people to check it out.

Maybe Cai Yong and his daughter are really hiding on that hill.

After making a decision, Wei Xu turned his horse around immediately, and met a subordinate who came to report the letter just halfway through the journey.

This subordinate was one of Wei Xu who stayed to check the small hill. When their team descended the mountain, they were surrounded by Hu Zhen's men, and he happened to be absent because of diarrhea.

After escaping by chance, he hurried to Wei Xu to report the situation.

Wei Xu got annoyed on the spot when he heard that someone from the military governor's battalion had attacked and arrested his subordinates. He didn't think too much about why Hu Zhen's people suddenly appeared here. The people of the Overseer Battalion settled accounts.

……

Wei Xu rode his horse much faster than the pawns behind him. He took the lead and came to the edge of the woods. He didn't find Hu Zhen and the people from the military governor's camp, but he saw Liu Yu.

"Why is Liu Yu here? Could it be that Cai Yan's father and daughter really..." Wei Xu looked at the small Shanggang in the distance, thinking that a dozen people might not be able to find any results, and he must send more people up before he gave up. .

It's just that Liu Yu was in front of him, but it was too obvious that he couldn't do it well, so he decided to go to Hu Zhen first to settle the score.

"It's really an accident to meet King Zhongshan here!" Wei Xupi laughed without a smile on his face, but Liu Yu didn't look at him at all.

Wei Xu got angry when he saw that the other party ignored him, but he knew something about Lu Bu's alliance with Liu Yu, so he didn't want to offend the other party.

He had no choice but to hold back his anger and cupped his fists to bow, "May I ask the king of Zhongshan if he ever saw the people from the warlord's battalion passing by here?"

Raise your hand and don't hit the smiling person, no matter if you are really polite or fake polite, Liu Yu will return the greeting with both fists.

Liu Yu said with a smile, "Not only did I see the people in the military governor camp, but I also saw Hu Zhen beheading and killing [-] soldiers from the Bingzhou Legion in the woods!"

"What!" Hearing that Wei Xu calculated that the number of people who were going to the small hill to search matched up, Wei Xu cursed Hu Zhen on the spot.

"The Superintendent's Battalion is amazing. I must catch him and go to the grand master to argue. If I don't avenge him, I will not be a human being!"

Wei Xu swears and swears that he is about to call his subordinates who have not arrived yet to go into the woods to find Hu Zhen, but Liu Yu calls him back.

"General Wei, don't bother, because even if you go into the woods, you won't be able to find Hu Zhen!"

"Why now? Could it be that Hu Zhen returned to the city directly after committing the crime?"

Liu Yu shrugged habitually, and then asked Zhou Fang to hand over a square wooden box to Wei Xu.

Wei Xu weighed it and felt a little heavy, and hurriedly asked: "What is... what is in here?"

Liu Yu stretched out his hand to signal him to open it and see it.

As soon as a corner of the wooden box was opened, Wei Xu smelled a bloody smell.

Taking a closer look, it turned out to be a human head inside, Hu Zhen's head!
