Cao Peng did nothing!

When the war drums rumbled, the mountain valley became a mess.

Lei Xu's soldiers and horses were not all composed of the Yellow Turban Army back then. In fact, after the Yellow Turban Army was defeated and the entire army was disbanded, Lei Xu took the remaining soldiers and defeated generals and traveled around, joining many groups, including those who were defeated by Cao Cao.

The Qingzhou Yellow Turbans who left Qingzhou... almost all of their former subordinates were killed or injured. The three hundred men in their hands were the defeated generals who had gathered together after being routed from Qingzhou.

mob!

This is Cao Peng's evaluation of this team.

When the war drums sounded, everything went into chaos...even Lei Xu was a little panicked.

If he had stayed in the valley at that time, he might have been able to stabilize the morale of the army. But as soon as he went out, these rebel soldiers lost their restraints.

King Cao Peng bought some people and slipped into the valley.

They soon found the cave where the thieves kept their horses.

There were no soldiers or horses guarding the outside of the cave, so the group easily slipped into the cave.

In these days, elite soldiers are hard to find, and elite cavalry are even rarer. Even though Lei Xu has snatched more than a hundred war horses, there are actually not many people in his hands who are good at riding. The reason for asking for horses is actually for transportation.

.As Cao Cao gradually established a foothold in Yuzhou and sent Xia Houyuan out to control Chenliu, the space for Lei Xu and others to move became smaller and smaller, and it was even difficult to move forward.

At this time, Lei Xu had thoughts of leaving Chen Liu.

He already has a place to go!

As soon as Hu Ban finishes his final vote, he will start taking action...

Don't think that his affection for Zhou Cang is just out of love for Zhou Cang. The more reason is that Lei Xu thought of a good idea.

He felt that if Zhou Cang robbed the Wei family's belongings, Xia Houyuan would be alarmed.

He said he wanted to cover Zhou Cang, but he had already made a plan in his heart to let Zhou Cang attract Xia Houyuan's attention. Then according to the original plan, he stormed Yongqiu, raided it, and quickly evacuated Chenliu County. Waiting for Xia Houyuan to react.

By then, he was already thousands of miles away.

But Lei Xu didn't expect that when he was plotting against Zhou Cang, someone was also plotting against him secretly!

The guards in Tuen Ma's cave are very lax.

Five or six grooms were awakened by the noise and commotion outside, and stood up in a daze and poked their heads out.

"Ghost!"

A horseman was startled when he saw Cao Peng and others.

It turned out that when Cao Peng was lurking, he asked everyone to smear mud on their faces.

The light was dim, and their faces were all dark, making them look particularly scary. Wang Mai didn't wait for the groom to shout the second sentence, rushed up to him, raised his knife, and knocked him to the ground. Following Cao Peng's attack,

The guards did not hesitate and rushed forward. The grooms did not even understand what happened, but they were chopped down one by one by Wang Mai and others and fell into a pool of blood.

From beginning to end, Cao Peng didn't take any action at all!

It's not that he doesn't want to do it, it's just that he doesn't have time to do it...

The speed of Wang Mai and his gang is really too fast! After experiencing the series of fights in Sunset Ju and Jiu Nu City, Wang Mai kills people even more fiercely than Cao Peng. That sword strike is fast and accurate.

, killing with swords, and between advancing and retreating, there seemed to be such a terrifying murderous aura.

Murderous aura sounds very imaginary, but it is real.

In other words, murderous aura is a kind of temperament... If you have never killed someone or experienced life and death, you cannot have such a temperament.

This thing is not something that can be practiced.

Dianman and Xu Yi are both more skilled than Wang Mai. But if they fight in front of the battle, the outcome is still in between.

After Wang Mai dealt with the horsemen, he looked towards Cao Peng. Cao Peng nodded and made a gesture to Wang Mai!

"Get the horses out!"

Wang Mai immediately ordered and picked up a torch from the cave wall.

The ten retinues quickly began to take action, untying the reins of all the war horses and driving them out of the cave at the same time.

"Let's withdraw!"

Cao Peng waved his hand and walked out.

The followers hurriedly followed, and Wang Mai was at the end, throwing the torch on the haystack.

When the hay met the flames, it burned quickly. When the war horses saw the light of the fire, they panicked and rushed out of the cave, neighing.

At this time, Cao Peng and others had already met Dianman Xiahoulan.

"How's it going?"

"everything is normal……"

"Find Uncle Zhou and Hu Ban as soon as possible, and then let's find a place to hide."

The fire started, and the officers and soldiers arrived!

For Cao Peng, his mission was completed.

In this case, if Xia Houyuan could not solve Lei Xu, then he would no longer be Xia Houyuan. Therefore, Cao Peng was relieved and did not even feel burdened at all. However, with such a large mountain valley and so many caves, he wanted to

It is not easy to find Zhou Cang.

Cao Peng met several groups of thieves along the way, but they were all in twos and threes.

Dianman's halberd flew out and easily defeated the opponent. When encountering a large number of thieves, Cao Peng and others did not fight hard and dodged early.

"Afu!"

Cao Peng suddenly heard someone calling his name.

Looking up, he saw Zhou Cang and Hu Ban emerging from a stone room.

"This way."

Zhou Cang was covered in blood, and his long knife was dripping with blood.

Hu Ban's face was as pale as paper, and he followed closely behind Zhou Cang, trembling all over.

He was just an idle guy from Gaoyangting. He was quite good at stealing and stealing, but when it came to killing people, Hu Ban couldn't even compare to Deng Ji.

"Uncle Zhou, how are you doing there?"

Cao Peng ran over quickly and stopped beside Zhou Cang.

Looking past Zhou Cang's side, he saw seven or eight dead bodies lying strewn about in the stone chamber, all obviously the work of Zhou Cang.

"I thought I could be caught by sending a few thieves!"

Zhou Cang sneered, "Lei Zijian, you underestimated me too much."

"Let's talk about it inside first."

Cao Peng breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Zhou Cang and Hu Ban were fine. He ducked into the stone chamber, followed by Wang Maidianman, while Zhou Cang and Xia Houlan stood guard behind the stone chamber door.

After counting the number of people, there were no casualties.

The mountains and valleys were in chaos. The thieves were running for their lives, shouting and screaming.

One after another, the war horses rushed out of the valley like crazy, causing the exit of the valley to suddenly become chaotic and crowded.

The sound of war drums is getting closer and closer!

The shouts of killing from the officers and soldiers could be heard faintly.

Cao Peng suddenly smiled and said, "Hu Ban, you can rest assured now."

"What are you worried about?"

"Gaoyang Pavilion... at least there won't be any more thieves and bandits. You can also give an explanation for your horse theft. Just say that you discovered the traces of the thieves. In order to protect the safety of Gaoyang Pavilion, you had no choice but to compromise and get involved. What you did was,

Just waiting for an opportunity to catch all the thieves."

"ah?"

Hu Ban was startled and a little confused.

It turns out that this principle can be said in this way?

"In the art of war, this is called death time!"

"Death time?"

"Even if Lei Xu is caught, I will never drag you into the water."

When Cao Peng spoke, there was a calm and calm temperament.

The chaos outside the stone chamber seemed to have nothing to do with him. It was this temperament that eased the somewhat depressing atmosphere.

Dianman smiled and said: "So, not only is this guy not guilty, he has also made a great contribution."

Cao Peng smiled and did not answer the topic, but walked towards the door of the stone chamber.

At this moment, Hu Ban felt as if he was in a dream. It took him a long time to wake up and stammered: "Have I made any meritorious service?"——
