On the territory of Van District, Hanoi County.

The more Cao Cao chased, the more bottomless he became......

Why is there no news of Sun Jian suddenly in the past two days? A few days ago, Sun Jian would send at least one briefing on the pursuit every day, but since yesterday, there has been no news of Sun Jian, and the scouts sent have no trace of Sun Jian.

Could it be that Wentai has already returned victorious?

No, if the battle is won, why won't there be any news from Wentai? Don't......

No way!

Three thousand five hundred cavalry against a thousand cavalry, no matter what, it will not fail......

Cao Cao vaguely felt that something was happening, but he couldn't think of a clue. Cao Cao decided that Liu Zhan would not make a big move, and sent a thousand-man cavalry team, which was just to harass the allies......

According to Liu Zhan's military strength, tens of thousands of people facing an army of hundreds of thousands of princes should only be beaten, where there will be a chance to fight back, Liu Zhan can't afford to make any big waves.

But Cao Cao's eyelids have jumped hard in the past two days, and with the news of losing Sun Jian, Cao Cao is always a little uneasy.

As the team was marching, Cao Cao suddenly saw a teenager on the side of the road, walking calmly on the side of the road, looking calm and composed, not caring about the army around him. The boy was followed by a middle-aged man who looked like a domestic servant, and like the boy, he walked forward with steady steps.

Looking at the clothes of the two, it is clear that they are two ordinary people who don't know martial arts, but they are cleaner and neater than ordinary people. This boy should be a child of a local family.

Cao Cao's eyes moved slightly, and he was surprised in his heart, guessing the identity of the young man.

Just when Cao Cao looked at the young man's master and servant, the young man also looked at Cao Cao and bowed to Cao Cao from afar.

Cao Cao's heart moved, and he patted his horse towards the young man.

Coming to the place where the young man was a stone's throw away, Cao Cao turned over and dismounted, and arched his hand towards the young man with a smile: "The little brother is extraordinary, but he is a child of a local family." ”

"Kid Sima Yi has seen Captain Cao."

Teenagers and adults generally return the courtesy, as if they are neither humble nor arrogant. The servant behind the young man didn't know Cao Cao, so he stretched out his hand and pulled the corner of the young man's clothes, signaling the young man to guard against the living.

After the young man saluted, he turned back to the servant and said, "Niu Bo is too careful. Captain Cao is a hero in the world, and he has many righteous deeds, and it is my honor to be fortunate to see him today. ”

When the servant heard this, he immediately looked relieved, nodded, took a step back, and stopped talking.

A teenager has such a bearing.

Cao Cao couldn't help but have a good impression of the young man who called himself Sima Yi in front of him...... This son is not ordinary, resolute and decisive, smart and quick-witted, when he is an outstanding material, he will be an extraordinary instrument in the future.

Sima...... Could it be the Sima family in Hanoi?

Thinking of this, Cao Cao remembered the first top boss of the Shi-Sima Fang, Cao Cao smiled and said, "Ling Zun is Lord Sima Fang?" ”

"Exactly."

"Hehe, it turned out to be the son of Master Sima's family, no wonder he has such a bearing. it. Childe, where are you going? ”

Cao Cao's favorability towards Sima Yi increased a few points. You must know that since Cao Cao joined the ranks, Sima Fang has taken care of him a lot, just like a big brother in the family, giving Cao Cao a lot of help.

Captain Cao praised it falsely. The kid is going to visit Master Xuantongzi. Sima Yi arched his hand and said.

"But Xuantongzi Guan Ning?"

"That's right."

"Childe visits the famous teacher and Confucian, is he going to apprentice?"

"Yes." Sima Yi answered Cao Cao's question unhurriedly, then bowed his hand and asked, "Captain Cao led the army to Wen County, but he wants to crusade against Liu Zhan?" ”

"Sima Gongzi is young, and he is familiar with family and country affairs?"

Although Cao Cao had a good impression of Sima Yi, he still didn't believe that Sima Yi knew what was going on today, so he couldn't help but ask, and as soon as the words came out, he felt that something was wrong, and there seemed to be a slight contempt in his words.

Sima Yi didn't care, smiled faintly, and arched his hand and said: "The princes of the Ten Roads crusade against the current prime minister Liu Zhan, and the women and children in the world know it, not to mention my dignified man?" ”

Cao Cao's face was slightly red, and he only heard Sima Yi continue, "Captain Cao seems to be alone in the depths, dare to ask what the rules are?" This is the young Sima Yi, who is sharp, and when he meets Cao Cao's men and horses, he is suspicious in his heart, and he wants to take this opportunity to find out - why did Cao Cao march so quickly? Although this has nothing to do with him Sima Yi, since he is in Wen County, Sima Yi can't help but want to ask.

Cao Cao heard that Sima Yi's tone was wrong, he was slightly stunned, and said indifferently: "A certain and Beiping Taishou Gongsun Zan and Jibei Prime Minister Bao Xin pursued Liu Zhan's remnants together, passing by here. ”

"Oh-" Sima Yi nodded, pondered for a moment, and said with a serious face, "The sour jujube is hundreds of miles away from here, and the adults have pursued it all the way here, aren't you afraid of the other party's ambush?" ”

"Haha......" Cao Cao listened to Sima Yi's words and smiled on his back, "Liu Zhan only has tens of thousands of people, how can he resist the hundreds of thousands of troops of the princes of the Eighteenth Road?" Don't worry, Liu Zhan is too busy to take care of himself, how can he have the time to set up an ambush? ”

"The adult is so sure, the kid won't say anything."

Sima Yi didn't say anything more, and was about to turn around and leave as soon as he arched his hand towards Cao Cao.

Cao Cao frowned, held back a trace of displeasure, and said, "Sima Gongzi, do you think our army is inferior to Liu Zhan's army?" ”

"The kid doesn't dare to talk about it, but with Captain Cao's current situation, I'm afraid he will soon be defeated."

Sima Yi stopped and replied.

"Haha...... Gongzi is alarmist, and Liu Zhan is definitely not the opponent of all the princes. Cao Cao didn't think about it and laughed.

"That being the case, the boy took his leave. I hope that Captain Cao will be victorious. Sima Yi bowed and led the servants away.

Cao Cao saw that Sima Yi wanted to speak and stopped, he wanted to explain to Sima Yi, but when he raised his eyes and saw that the two of them had already walked more than ten steps, he couldn't help but feel a little bored, he shook his head, turned over his horse, and continued to move forward.

……

On this day, Cao Cao, Gongsun Zhan, and Bao Xin received a report from the Pegasus scouts - the cavalry led by Zhao Yun stopped outside a village ten miles ahead, and the three of them were overjoyed and hurriedly discussed how to fight in Gongsun Zhan's camp.

Gongsun Zan stroked his long beard and said proudly: "According to a certain point of view, it can be directly surrounded and annihilated, and there is no need for any rules." ”

"Yes, how can a thousand people withstand the siege of tens of thousands of people including me?"

As soon as Gongsun Zhan's voice fell, Bao Xin echoed on the side.

"Hey, two adults, don't be careless. Sun Wentai has not had any news in the past two days, which seems a little unusual. Cao Cao raised his hand to signal the two not to worry, and his eyebrows were tightly locked.

"Meng De didn't say it, but he forgot about it. What does this Sun Wentai mean? Didn't you quit halfway? ”

Bao Xin's eyes widened and he looked at Cao Cao.

"Could it be that he has another plan?"

Gongsun Chan pondered for a moment and said.

Cao Cao saw that Gongsun Zan and Bao Xin were also two monks, so he shook his head helplessly and said: "I always feel that something seems to happen faintly, but I can't think of a clue. ”

"Leave him alone, let's destroy the cavalry in front of me first. Perhaps, Sun Wentai is still nearby, and as soon as the battle starts, maybe he will come out. ”

Bao Xin waved his hand and said.

"Yes. With our tripartite forces, the cavalry that surrounded and killed more than 1,000 people was already slaughtering chickens with a knife, so there was no need to care about Sun Wentai. ”

Gongsun Chan was anxious to make a contribution and nodded in agreement with Bao Xin's words.

Cao Cao saw that neither of them cared about Sun Jian's whereabouts, so he didn't say much about this matter, he walked to the map hanging in the tent, raised his hand and pointed: "According to the scout's report, this cavalry should be stationed here at this moment." They are sleepy and unarmoured, and tonight is a good time for us to strike. What do you think? ”

"I said it, there are only a thousand people, you don't have to worry too much, just fight."

Gongsun Chan said a little impatiently.

Bao Xin has always had a good impression of Cao Cao, although he also feels that there is no need to plan anything to start fighting directly, but he still wants to hear what Cao Cao has to say, he looked at Cao Cao and said lightly: "What is Mengde's good plan?" ”

"Hehe, it's not a good idea." Cao Cao casually modestly said, and then said, "I think that this cavalry dares to travel long distances and raid the camp of our allies, and it must have something to rely on. ”

"It's just that some people are careless and defeated, and even if they rely on it, what can they do."

Gongsun Chan said nonchalantly.

When Bao Xin heard this, his face changed, and he said coldly: "What do you mean by this? Is it a taunt that you have lost a battle? ”

"Hmph-" Gongsun Chan was originally an unintentional complaint, but he didn't want Bao Xin to react so much, and he didn't want to explain anything, so he just said, how are you doing?

Gongsun Chan snorted coldly and ignored Bao Xin.

"You-" Bao Xin was also a violent temper, and was about to go berserk.

Cao Cao saw that the two of them were tense all of a sudden, and hurriedly stepped forward to comfort them. Gongsun Zhan and Bao Xin calmed down at this time, and each snorted coldly.

Then, Cao Cao explained his planned play to the two in detail like this.

After hearing this, Bao Xin nodded: "Well-it's better to be careful." Meng De is reasonable, just such a way of playing. ”

Gongsun Zhan had a strange face: "This is too careful, just a thousand people, is it necessary for us to be so careful?" ”

"You can go by yourself, and watch the battle with Meng De in the back, how about it?"

As soon as Gongsun Zhan's words fell, Cao Cao didn't say anything, but Bao Xin couldn't help it, and coldly rejected Gongsun Zhan.

"Bao Yuncheng, do you think that someone will be like you? Defeated by a thousand people, you still have the face to say so-and-so?

Thou hast seen it in the back, and one person can besiege and kill these thousand people. Let someone teach you what it means to fight. Gongsun Chan couldn't bear it anymore and went crazy directly.

"Fuck! What are you? How dare you teach a lesson! ”

Bao Xin reached out and was about to pull out the long broad-faced knife on his back.

Cao Cao's face changed, he pulled out the long sword in his waist, slammed off the corner of the case in the tent, and said coldly: "Two, calm down." ”
