Wei Yan was leading the cavalry in the mountains and forests, and chasing in the dense forests was really a hard job.
He pursued southward. From Lingling County to Cangwu County, there were two waterways, Fengshui and Lishui. A narrow river channel was created between the five ridges, and they were distributed among Yingpu, Xiemu, Fengcheng and Fuchuan. , Linhe, Fengyang and other counties, the two waterways, together with the Yushui coming from the west, merge into the Pearl River in Guangxin, Cangwu County, and the river water rolls eastward.
However, all the generals agreed that if Liu Bei and Pang Tong went south, it would be impossible to take this official road, because the official road was full of Zhang Liao's scouts, making it impossible to pass through. Therefore, Wei Yan's cavalry pursued along the vague mountain roads in the mountains.
Cao Wugi's deadline was one day and one night, and Wei Yan had already spent three-quarters of the time. He only had a few hours left to go back, but still found nothing.
Wei Yan's expression gradually became anxious. He could see that these five hundred tiger and leopard cavalry were all the elite among the elite and were extremely powerful. Therefore, they were very unimpressed with his little-known general. Wei Yan did not have a prominent official position, and he Without outstanding achievements, if it weren't for Cao Wu's orders and the elites' obedience to orders, they would have given up long ago.
He is not a person who is good at words. Otherwise, he would have been dormant in Changsha for several years. With his ability, he might have made his mark long ago.
Faced with the distrust of Hubaoqi, the only solution he could think of was to quickly find the traces of Liu Bei and Pang Tong through his understanding of the terrain of the four southern counties.
However, along the way, there was almost no trace of Liu Bei's escape. Some people in the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry even suspected that Liu Bei was the one who died in the fire, and no one escaped at all.
"Captain Wei, seeing that it's dark and there is no trace, they must have gone west and fell in the direction of Captain Cao's pursuit. Let's go back!"
"Yes, it's really difficult to march in this forest, and there are horses around, so we didn't go very far in the whole day!"
Everyone started shouting among the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, but because the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry were trained by Cao Chun to run the army very strictly, the situation did not get out of control. They just bullied Wei Yan because he was not from a clan like Cao Xiu, and he had no record or official position.
Wei Yan's already red face turned redder, and he said in a deep voice: "Everyone, wait a moment, let's ride horses, but Liu Xuande also has to ride horses. They will never dare to abandon their horses. In this way, we will have two horses per person." , always faster than them. Besides, what General Beifu said was one day and one night, and this hasn’t happened yet..."
There is no use in presenting facts and reasoning. Elites like the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry already know the situation in their heads and will not be persuaded by Wei Yan's few words. However, the words "General Beifu" somewhat suppressed the temper of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry. Wei Yan quickly clamped them down. In the belly of the horse, he came to a prisoner.
This man is a small leader of the Wuxi Barbarians who speaks Chinese relatively well. He has met all the generals in Liu Bei's army, including Liu Bei. He brought him out mainly for identification.
Wei Yan said: "You come with me, let's go first."
After saying that, without waiting for the little boss to react, he picked him up by the waist and helped him to an empty horse next to him. He held the reins of the two horses with one hand and started running directly on the mountain.
The little leader was very frightened, but the tiger and leopard riders were all very knowledgeable. Many people were secretly surprised, not realizing that this red-faced young general had such good riding skills. He was indeed a talent specially appointed by General Beifu.
Here Wei Yan had quickly climbed over a mountain, and a stream appeared in front of him. Wei Yan looked at the map to identify it, and found that it was a tributary of Li River. He was looking at the map when he suddenly heard the little leader shout: "Liu Bei! Where is Liu Bei?" ! The war horses and clothes are only owned by Liu Bei!"
Wei Yan was startled and looked over quickly. He saw someone on the other side of the stream, hundreds of meters away, wearing a white robe and riding a white horse. They were walking towards the stream, presumably to drink water.
"This top skill belongs to me, Wei Wen!"
Wei Yan was extremely excited, and all the unhappiness in his heart was swept away. He admired Cao Wu's judgment on Liu Bei's cheating death, and also lamented his luck. As long as he captured Liu Bei, Cao Wu would definitely value him, and he would be able to be granted the title of marquis and general in the future. .
At this distance, Wei Yan spotted the other party, and the other party naturally noticed him, so Liu Bei turned his horse and walked back.
How could Wei Yan let him go? He shouted: "Come quickly!"
The sound spread across the hillside, and the tiger and leopard riders immediately mounted their horses and prepared to come over.
Wei Yan himself couldn't wait any longer and let his horse run wildly through the stream.
The white horse Liu Bei obviously did not expect to meet the enemy here. He was very anxious and kept hitting the horse. However, the horse did not speed up and seemed to be extremely disobedient. It took a long time to start running.
At first, Wei Yan was still worried that Liu Bei's men would suddenly kill Guan, Zhang, and others. Now that he saw Liu Bei alone, he thought, God help me, and his horse ran faster and faster.
But the strange thing is that the unruly war horse ran much faster than his horse. It was obviously a good horse.
Wei Yan visually measured the speed of the war horse and knew that the two of them would be getting farther and farther away. Of course, he would not let this overwhelming wealth slip away. He immediately took off the short bow from his back and put an arrow on it.
He would definitely capture an enemy chief like Liu Bei alive, but he was confident that he would be wounded in the shoulder with one arrow and knocked off his horse without being shot to death.
Moreover, he clearly saw that the other party's escape position was blocked by the stream. The stream was three feet wide and it was impossible to cross. Then Liu Bei could only wander by the stream and become a target for his arrows.
Thinking that the dignified General Zuo, who was called a hero by the Prime Minister, would be captured alive by him, Wei Yan's whole body was filled with heat, and his bow was nocked extremely fast, almost at the fastest speed in his life, and he shot out an arrow.
With a "swish" sound, short arrows flew in the air, and Liu Bei arrived in front of the three-foot-wide stream.
"Hit!"
Wei Yan shouted in his heart that Liu Bei could not cross the stream and could not run away, so he would definitely be shot down.
At this moment, Liu Bei's horse suddenly neighed and leaped high with its front hooves.
Something incredible happened. The white war horse jumped up like a trained horse and drew a rainbow-like arc.
The unbridgeable distance of three feet was crossed by the war horse!
Wei Yan opened his mouth wide. He didn't expect this war horse to be so strong. What kind of horse was it?
But he had no time to close his mouth, because something even more coincidental happened.
The war horse jumped to the other side, but the terrain on the other side was low and the war horse staggered.
At this moment, Wei Yan's feather arrow also arrived.
More than a hundred steps away, Wei Yan also heard the sound of the arrow hitting his flesh.
Just because of the sudden leap of the horse, the arrow no longer penetrated the shoulder blade, but the heart in the left chest!
"puff!"
There was a dull sound, and Liu Bei immediately fell off his horse. The white war horse walked forward for more than ten meters before realizing that its owner had landed, and turned around and neighed.
"ah!"
Liu Bei spit out a mouthful of blood on the ground. He wanted to help the ground, but his hands were on the ground and he couldn't use any strength.
