"You yourself said that it was the road during the Jianwu period of Emperor Guangwu, and it has been abandoned for more than 200 years, can you find it?"

Xiahou Yuan glared at Tian Chou, "Besides, even if you find it, won't it rain there, wouldn't it be as muddy and difficult to walk on as the road in front of you?" ”

"In Xia Bucai, I am willing to lead the children of my clan to open the way for the prime minister to meet the mountains and build bridges when encountering water," Tian Chou raised his head.

At the beginning, Tian Chou lived in seclusion in the mountains, attracting 5,000 families to go to the desert.

Tian Chou dispatched elite sons to train and formed an elite army of more than 1,000 people to defend their homeland.

At this time, they wanted to attack Wuhuan to take revenge, so Tian Chou brought all the military horses over.

"Okay, so there is Lao Zitai," Cao Cao nodded with satisfaction.

At this time, Guo Jia said beside him: "If Tian Zitai can find another way and lead us to Liucheng, if you think that the Hu people are remote, they will definitely be defenseless, and when the lord suddenly attacks, he will definitely be able to win in one battle."

However, if the lord still carries a lot of baggage, the march will inevitably be slow, and then it will inevitably be noticed by the enemy and lose the effect of attacking him unprepared.

Therefore, it is suggested that the lord should leave his baggage in Yicheng, advance quickly with light troops, and win by surprise. ”

"If it makes sense, just follow the words of filial piety," Cao Cao pondered for a moment, then nodded in agreement with Guo Jia's opinion.

So Tian Chou led his men and horses to open the road in front of him, and the Cao army rested in Yicheng for a while and prepared to march.

At the same time, Cao Cao laid down a maze array, and sent people to set up several wooden signs on the side of the road, with the book "It is raining heavily today, the road is impassable, and in autumn and winter, it is to return to the army." ”

On the surface, this was a signpost ordering the whole army to retreat, but in fact, it was to reveal false news to Wuhuan Tanma.

A few days later, Cao Cao personally led a large army, led a group of generals, and led thousands of elite cavalry to take the lead, while the main foot soldiers dragged behind.

This time, Guo Jia ignored his illness and insisted on moving forward.

Cao Cao was extremely convinced of Guo Jia's strategic plan, and Guo Jia was the only one who took the initiative to support him in attacking Wuhuan, so he agreed to let Guo Jia follow.

It's just that this time I went to take a small road, and the carriage couldn't sit, so I could only let Guo Jia ride forward with an oil-paper umbrella.

I have to say that this is one of the most memorable military adventures in Cao Cao's career.

They climbed over Xu Wu Mountain, out of Lulongsai, entered the upper valley of the Luanhe River, marched for more than 500 miles, turned east in Pinggang, crossed the Xianbei pastureland, passed through the border mountains, and marched rapidly until they reached the vicinity of the White Wolf Mountain, which was less than 200 miles away from Liucheng.

By this time, they had outflanked the rear of the defensive camp of Bunton.

……

Outside was a rainy sky, but inside the big tent was singing, dancing, drinking, and feasting.

Some people are drumming and playing the sheng, and there are seven or eight snatched dancers dancing in the center, and the table is set with delicacies from the mountains and seas.

"Second son, third son, you don't have to be afraid," Sitting in the middle, he held a wine bowl and said loudly to the Yuan brothers who had lost their souls: "General Yuan is kind to us, and I was very grateful to General Yuan for my kindness before I robbed you Han people as slaves."

Besides, I have already married your sister, so according to the rules of your Han family, you two are my brothers-in-law.

Now that you're here, it's like being at home, and you don't have to be inhibited. ”

"Thank you Da Shan Yu," the disgraced Yuan Xi muttered: "However, the Cao army is in full strength, and there are many brave generals under his command, so Da Shan Yu must be careful to deal with it." ”

"Hahaha," Bun Dun drank all the wine in the wine bowl and laughed: "The second prince was frightened by Cao Jun, Cao Jun's generals are not worth mentioning in my opinion."

And if it rains heavily today, the road from Youzhou to my Wuhuan can not march at all, if Cao Jun dares to come, he will also become a tired army.

Besides, then Cao Cao is not a fool, how could he make such a mistake?

Previously, according to the Malay report, they had withdrawn their troops. ”

"Cao Cao withdrew?" Yuan Shang was pleasantly surprised, and said in a lost voice: "Can this be taken seriously?" ”

"Then can there be a fake? I've come to report it to the horses," he said arrogantly: "It's not stable to come to the rear of the Cao family, and it's impossible for the generals to be stationed here all the time."

When the main force of Cao's army is withdrawn, I will send people to help the two sons regain the lost territory.

Even if a few counties are recaptured, it will be enough for the two sons to live in peace. ”

"Thank you Da Shan Yu," the Yuan brothers were so moved that they were about to cry.

These days, the two of them are indeed chased by Cao Jun like lost dogs, even if they escape to this black place, there is still news that Cao Cao's army is going to kill them all, which makes the two of them panic all day.

Now that the Cao army has finally withdrawn, they are safe.

If there is the help of the powerful cavalry of Bunton, and a few counties are recaptured as a place of refuge, this life can be considered content.

"I salute a big order in a bowl," Yuan Xi said loudly as he raised the wine bowl.

"That's right," he laughed: "In my place, the two sons should eat, drink, play, and reward the beauties of the second son, why don't the second sons touch it?" ”

It turned out that they led the remnants of the soldiers to flee here, but Badun was very enthusiastic, and seeing that they didn't bring their families, they each sent ten beauties to serve them.

But in Yuan Xi's opinion, is it also called a "beauty"?

Combined, those ten women are difficult to compare to his wife, who has both beauty and talent.

It's a pity that he has already received the news that his charming wife has been caught by Cao Ang and given to Liu Ping, who is sitting in Chang'an.

For Yuan Xi, it was a great shame that the top of his head was green, and he deeply regretted that he didn't kill Liu Ping in advance when he bought a horse on the grassland.

After all the calculations, it was Liu Ping who got his horse.

Now that he looks at these women sent by Bunton, how can he look at them? Thinking about the charming wife in Liu Ping's place, the more I think about it, the sadder I become.

"Da Dan Yu is polite, I have fled here, it is difficult to run to a home, and I really have no intention of having fun." Yuan Xi said with a bitter face.

"Second son, I'm afraid you're still not at ease, right?" Badun showed a look of displeasure: "Do you still not believe in this single Yu?"

If Cao Jun doesn't come, if he comes, he will take Cao Cao's head to pay tribute to the general. ”

"Newspaper—"

A herald rushed in: "Found traces of Cao Jun." ”

"What?" He sneered, picked up the wine bowl and drank it all, then stood up and said sharply: "Cao Cao really dares to come?"

It's a good time, the order goes down, and the front army is lined up to meet the enemy. ”

The road they are guarding in front of them is the only way to come here from Youzhou, and the mud along the way can consume more than ninety percent of Cao's physical strength, even if they can reach it, their combat effectiveness is basically gone, and his tens of thousands of cavalry are waiting here to prepare for slaughter.

"Da Danyu, Cao Jun didn't come from the front, they were behind us." The herald hurried.
