035 Cao's army appeared in Jingzhou

"Is this wine ready today?"

Zhuge Tian looked at Liao Hua who came to ask him questions and nodded helplessly.

This guy has been asking every day for almost a month.

Seeing Zhuge Tian nod, Liao Hua immediately made the matter known to everyone in Wolong Village.

"The wine is out today."

"I heard it is."

"Oh, I only drank it twice during the hottest time of the year, and it was really delicious after adding ice cubes!"

"We brewed a lot more this time, and the boss said everyone can drink some."

The big house used for brewing wine was surrounded by three layers of walls, making it impossible to get in or out.

With a soft "bang" sound, Liao Hua pulled out the cork of a wine barrel and leaned over to smell it.

"Mmm! That's the smell!"

Then he looked at Zhuge Tian expectantly.

"Okay, okay, open twenty barrels tonight." Zhuge Tian is not a stingy person.

The autumn harvest is about to begin, so let’s have some fun before getting back to work.

"There's new news."

At this time, Gan Ning came over and whispered to Zhuge Tian.

The two men went out and came to a deserted corner. Gan Ning said, "After Wuyin and Nanyang were occupied by Zhang Xiu, Cao Cao sent Cao Hong to defend Ye County. I just received news that Ye County was captured by Zhang Xiu and Liu Jingzhou, and Cao Hong's army was defeated and has disappeared."

"Pang Shiyuan was right!" Zhuge Tian looked towards the direction of Xiangyang.

He had only heard a lot of stories about the Three Kingdoms from his master when he was a child.

Things like borrowing arrows from a straw boat and the empty city plan.

But as to who beat whom in a specific year, we have no idea.

History books about the Three Kingdoms period are also not available for purchase in the system.

That's why he always asked Gan Ning to leave the Jinfan thieves outside to find out various information.

If Pang Tong's calculations were followed, Cao Cao would give the title of general to Yuan Shao and acknowledge that the four states of Ji, Qing, You and Bing were Yuan Shao's sphere of influence, the two families would be able to live in peace for a while.

At that time, he would definitely lead an expedition against Zhang Xiu himself.

I'm afraid the war will spread to the edge of Jingzhou.

However, in history, Zhuge Liang waited for Liu Bei safely in Wolong, so he probably would not attack their Wolong Village.

"Thank you for your hard work, brothers down there. Let's drink tonight, or should we go to the mountain behind to see if there's any prey?"

There is still some pork and mutton in Wolong Village, but the quantity is not large, so I am afraid I won’t be able to eat enough.

"Okay!" Gan Ning nodded, then called Zhuge Liang and Liao Hua. The four of them brought a few followers and carried bows and went into the mountains.

I just went up the mountain and hunted a few small animals, such as pheasants and hares.

But when it was noon, I found that I hadn't seen any prey for a long time.

"Something is wrong." Liao Hua said.

He spent the longest time in the mountains. Not many people came to the back mountain of Wolong Village. They didn't even take the existing mountain roads, but went directly into the forest.

Logically speaking, there is no shortage of prey in the mountains like this.

But for most of the hour, not a single bird was caught.

"Everyone be careful, there might be a big guy nearby."

Liao Hua gave a reminder, put away the bow, and drew out the long sword in his hand.

After walking a little further, he squatted down, looked around, and said, "Look here."

When a few people went over, they saw that the bushes and grass in that area were obviously pressed by something.

There were traces of blood in some places.

"There's a fight between wild beasts." Liao Hua looked around and called over one of his men: "Chen San, come and take a look."

Chen San was an old hunter. He looked around and nodded, saying, "It's like a pack of wolves versus two tigers."

"Look here, there's a bloody tooth. It's a wolf's tooth."

"These footprints are clearly tiger footprints, and they're different sizes, so they must be from two tigers."

"Let's go and catch up!" Gan Ning said excitedly, "Opportunities like this don't come often."

As everyone knows, these beasts have their own territories.

If the number of wolves is not particularly large, they will not provoke ferocious beasts like tigers. They are not stupid and will run away if they cannot win.

It is indeed rare for the two sides to fight directly.

Several people followed the trail and soon saw the corpse of a wolf.

Chen San went up to confirm again, and from the teeth marks he could tell that the man was indeed bitten to death by a tiger.

They carried the wolf's body on their backs and continued on their way. Occasionally, they could see some tiger hair and wolf's body along the way.

It can be seen that the tiger also suffered some losses at the hands of those wolves.

And the further you walk, the more you can feel the brutality of the battle.

Suddenly Liao Hua let out a sigh.

"Hey, why is there a human voice?"

The others listened carefully and it seemed like there was really someone shouting.

"Go and have a look."

Several people quickly rushed towards the direction where the sound came from.

Then he soon saw the corpses of several wolves lying in a small open space.

A strong man was forced by a tiger to lean against a big tree.

At his feet, there was a tiger that didn't move much.

He clenched his fists and looked at the injured tiger in front of him with red eyes.

"It looks like Cao's armor. He's at least a captain."

Gan Ning said in a low voice.

Zhuge Tian hesitated for a moment before saying, "Save the people first."

Since Cao's army appeared here, they naturally wanted to find out the truth.

After hearing his words, Zhuge Liang and his men took off their recurve bows from their backs, drew their bows and arrows and shot at the tiger.

The tiger didn't realize that it was wholeheartedly dealing with the difficult human in front of it.

As a result, someone from behind launched an unsportsmanlike sneak attack.

The recurve bow has great power and the arrow is fast.

By the time it heard the wind and wanted to dodge, it was too late.

A few arrows shot into the body.

The already injured tiger staggered twice, turned around to look at Zhuge Tian and the others, and roared twice ferociously.

He was stabbed by several arrows again, and finally fell to the ground, only emitting earth energy but not absorbing it.

The sturdy man leaning against the big tree took a look at Zhuge Tian and the others, then his body went limp and he fell to the ground.

Zhuge Tian went over to take a look and saw that in addition to the scars from beast bites, the Cao army also had many wounds from swords, guns and arrows.

Moreover, they were all new injuries and only received simple treatment.

Chen San looked at the tiger that had fallen to the side at the beginning and said in horror, "This tiger actually has two bones broken, and the wolf bite wound was torn open by hand. I'm afraid... it was done by this Cao army."

Even if a pack of wolves could kill a tiger, they could not break its bones.

It was obviously done by Cao's army.

Even if the two tigers and the wolf pack are both injured, the tigers are still tigers.

Even injured beasts are more ferocious.

He was able to kill a wounded tiger with his bare hands, which shows his bravery.

Zhuge Tian sprayed the medicine he had with him on the Cao soldier and treated the wound simply.

"Take the tiger, the wolf, and this Cao army back with you."
