Cao Cao's face was gloomy.

Although he had guessed it a long time ago, when it was confirmed to be true, he still had a little difficulty accepting it.

He frowned deeply, and asked, "Have you found traces of those criminals?"

The scout shook his head and said.

"My lord, by the time we go up the mountain, those people have already left."

"There are traces of fighting on the mountain, but these traces are very slight."

Cao Cao's heart trembled.

He hurriedly asked: "Maybe you can see how many soldiers and horses there are?"

"My lord, we checked the surroundings and found that there were people hiding there. But due to the limited area, there will not be too many people."

"Maybe the most, but only 800 people."

Hearing what the scout said, Cao Cao exclaimed, "Seven to eight hundred people?"

The scout nodded solemnly.

Cao Cao was completely anxious.

He hurriedly asked: "Have you ever found traces of grain and grass?"

This is what he really cares about.

If the food and grass are there, something happened to the Wei family, so what does it have to do with him.

The scout spread his hands.

"My lord, no grain trucks were found at the scene. However, we found a lot of car marks on the top of the mountain, which should be left by grain trucks."

Cao Cao couldn't bear it anymore.

He immediately shouted in a deep voice.

"Take me there!"

At that moment, he personally led the team to Liangshan.

Because of the anxiety in my heart, I was in a hurry along the way.

A quarter of an hour later, Cao Cao led the crowd to the top of the mountain.

At this time, the top of the mountain was scorched black everywhere.

In the very center of the mountain top, there was still a faint flame burning.

In the fire, you can still see a lot of stumps and broken arms.

It is conceivable that this place must be the place where the corpses were burned.

He looked around for a while.

Sure enough, as the scout said, there was no sign of the murderer on the top of the mountain.

This made him secretly relieved.

Although he brought five thousand elites, Xiahou Dun led the team himself.

But for some reason, he was still a bit apprehensive about that unknown mysterious team.

Xiahou Dun ran over, reporting with a serious expression on his face.

"Meng De, I've checked all around. I'm afraid the strength of these mysterious teams is a little too strong."

Cao Cao frowned slightly.

“How come you see?”

Xiahou Dun pointed to Cao Cong next to him.

"Look, Mengde. The grass has left two footprints, indicating that someone has retreated into the grass."

He spread it out, and a long knife appeared in his hand.

"At the position where Cao Cong was, I found this long knife."

He turned the long knife, but kept his eyes fixed on the handle.

"Judging from the inscription on the handle, this long knife should have been given to the captain of the personal guard by the Patriarch of the Wei family."

Cao Cao's eyes narrowed slightly.

"Yuan Rang, you mean, the person who retreated into the grass is the captain of the Wei family's personal guard."

"Not bad!"

Xiahou Dun's face was full of gloom.

"And, judging from this trace, I dare say that the captain of the personal guard probably didn't even block that person's move."

As soon as these words came out, Cao Cao's face showed a look of horror.

"Yuan Rang, didn't you say that the captain of the Wei family's personal guard is a master?"

Xiahou Dun sighed bitterly.

"The strength of those people is probably much stronger than we imagined."

"Even if our 5000 people meet, we will definitely not be able to please!"

Cao Cao was taken aback.

He looked at Xiahou Dun in disbelief.

In his impression, Xiahou Dun was such a proud person.

But now, Xiahou Dun actually admitted that he was not as good as the other party.

It is enough to imagine the strength of the opponent.

Since Xi Zhicai came up, he has not opened his mouth.

At this time he reminded.

"My lord, our top priority now is the food and grass."

"What the military adviser said is true!" Cao Cao nodded.

Xi Zhicai pointed his hand to the distance.

"Look, my lord. That should be the place where the grain carts stop."

Cao Cao and others stepped forward.

I saw a lot of car marks on the ground.

These car marks lead directly to the mountain road on the other side.

He looked up and saw the winding mountain road, but there was no trace of grain carts.

"How could it be! How could it be in such a situation!"

Cao Cao shouted to the sky.

Boundless pain hit him.

He covered his head and let out a miserable cry.

"Ah! It hurts me too!"

He only felt that his eyes were dark, and Dang even fell headlong to the ground.

Xiahou Dun hurried forward and hugged Cao Cao.

Cao Cao grabbed Xiahou Dun's arm and said anxiously.

"Yu Jin is careful, let Yu Jin find out where the grain truck went..."

Before he finished speaking, he closed his eyes. .

Chapter 71

Xiahou Dun was completely anxious.

He desperately called Cao Cao.

Xi Zhicai stepped forward hurriedly, sniffing Cao Cao's breath.

Seeing Cao Cao's heavy breathing, he immediately nodded and said.

"Yuan Rang don't worry! My lord is just suffering from a headache."

Xiahou Dun was a little relieved, he looked at Xi Zhicai and said.

"Master, what shall we do now?"

Xi Zhicai took a deep look at Shan Dao and sighed.

"Our top priority is to escort the lord back to the city!"

Xiahou Dun nodded solemnly.

If he stayed here, he was also afraid that the soldiers and horses would rush out just now.

The group of them hurried all the way back to Chenliu.

Yu Jin, Cao Hong and others greeted them.

Their faces were full of eagerness.

Xiahou Dun said in a deep voice.

"Yu Wenze, pass on Meng Deling, ordering you to bring 1000 people to find out the whereabouts of the grain and grass!"

Yu Jin suddenly responded.

Immediately, he led a thousand elite soldiers to investigate the whereabouts of the grain carts.

……

Lu Bing hurried in from outside.

"My lord, fortunately not to be humiliated!"

Wang Xu raised his head, glanced at Lu Bing and said.

"Lu Bing, is everything going well?"

Lu Bing nodded solemnly.

"Don't worry, my lord, everything is going well! Now the food has been placed in the warehouse in the south of the city."

"Very good!" Wang Xu was quite satisfied.

The warehouse in the south of the city was opened up by him.

The purpose is to store food and grass.

Lu Bing came forward to report.

"My lord, I captured two people from the Wei family. One is the third son of the head of the Wei family named Wei Yi."

"And the other one is Steward Wu from the Wei family."

"That's fine." Wang Xu nodded slightly, then waved his hand.

"Then bring them both in."

Lu Bing went out in person and brought Wei Yi and Butler Wu in.

Wang Xu's eyes swept over Wei Yi and Wu Butler.

The attributes of the two also appeared.

Name: Wei Yi

Commander: 40

Force: 25
