Chapter 343: Night Walking
Han Fu felt very panicked recently, he didn't know if it was because of his weak heart, he always felt that when Chen Mo occasionally saw him, his gaze became a little wrong, and the seemingly plain gaze occasionally swept over, and there was always a feeling of being seen through.
This feeling made Han Fu a little crazy, and the route of transporting grain had changed again, it couldn't be that Chen Mo was testing himself, right? Han Fu was a little uncertain in his heart, hesitating whether to send out the information this time? The control in the barracks was tighter, and Han Fu had fewer opportunities to send the letter out.
Fortunately, today's Cao army came to attack the camp, giving Han Fu a chance, and finally spread the news.
"Lord, the last general will capture this thief and kill him!?" The process of Han Fu arranging for someone to send the letter out of the barracks had already been seen by Chen Mo and the others, and Dian Wei couldn't help but say angrily.
"No need, this matter has its own yuan." Chen Mo shook his head and didn't rush to clean up Han Fu, but Han Fu's attitude was indeed a little unhappy, this betrayal was too thorough, Chen Mo was very curious, how did Cao Cao convince him?
After Chen Mo watched the formation, he quickly ordered Zhang Xiu and Pang De to lead the troops to attack from the two wings to outflank the Cao army, and at the same time ordered Han Qiong to lead the army to attack from the front, and after the two sides fought outside the camp for a while, seeing that it was difficult to win, the Cao army took the initiative to collect the troops.
Standing on top of the arrow tower, Chen Mo looked at the Cao army that was receding like a tide, frowned, and let Han Qiong try to counterattack once, but the resistance of the Cao army was also quite fierce, and Chen Mo's side could not attack either, so in the end he had no choice but to withdraw his troops.
In this kind of war of more than 100,000 people, unless there is any major change or the gap between the commanders of the two sides is too large, it is almost impossible to distinguish the winner in a short period of time.
After returning to the camp, Chen Mo wrote a letter to Cao Cao, not persuading him to surrender, but just an ordinary letter of reminiscence.
"Lord, don't you have any plans?" Ma Chao watched curiously as a guard left with Chen Mo's letter and went to Cao Ying, a little curious.
"It's just a simple reminiscence." Chen Mo shook his head, where did so many schemes come from.
"Huh?" Ma Chao looked at Chen Mo blankly, on this battlefield, as the respective commanders of the two armies, the letters reminisced? If it were someone else, it would be considered a collaborator, right?
"Brother Meng De and I met only fourteen when we met, and now we have passed, and it has been almost twenty years." Chen Mo smiled and sighed: "In this battle, the two of us will win or lose, no matter who wins or loses in the end, there are not many days that can reminisce about the past." ”
Ma Chao doesn't understand this kind of friendship too much, enemies are enemies, friends are friends, what is this now? Moreover, Chen Mo pits Cao Cao, who doesn't blink an eye, this kind of friend, Ma Chao hopes never to meet it in his life.
"Don't talk about that." Chen Mo took Ma Chao back to the camp, looked at Ma Chao and said, "Meng Qi, you should have learned a lot of things during your time by my side, it's time to verify it." ”
"Please command, my lord!" Ma Chao was overjoyed when he heard this, although he did find that he was too far behind after following Chen Mo for these days, but watching others kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, he could only watch it, which didn't feel very good, seeing Chen Mo say this, how could he not know that Chen Mo was preparing to let him go to the battlefield? At the moment, he bowed to Chen Mo and bowed.
"Take your people and go to Xu Shu, he lacks a cavalry to assist, if he does a good job, he can make a great contribution this time." Chen Mo looked at Ma Chao and smiled.
Xu Shu needs a cavalry to assist, and Ma Chao is just right.
"Whoa!" Ma Chao didn't care where he went, as long as there was a battle, after saluting Chen Mo again, he couldn't wait to leave after receiving the general's order and went to report to Xu Shu.
Watching Ma Chao leave in a hurry, Chen Mo shook his head and returned to the tent with Dian Wei, what should be taught, this time has also been taught, but Ma Chao has a belligerent personality, this thing can't be changed, and the rest is up to him to explore.
In order to lure Cao Cao into the bait, Chen Mo spent a lot of thought during this time, and when he returned to the tent, Chen Mo asked Dian Wei to go outside to inspect, while he knelt down and closed his eyes in contemplation.
In his mind, the phantom of the system immortal emerged, and Chen Mo's attention fell on Qi Yun.
With the recent war of Chen Mo in the south and the north, his life and luck have become more and more perfect, and now the jade seal of the country is not around, and his luck fluctuation range often touches the full value, although the luck is uncertain, but I have to say that people in different statuses have different levels of luck.
Ordinary people's luck fluctuates, at most they can only pick up money or something, but if bad luck comes, it may endanger the number of lives, but with the higher the status, the bottom value of luck is not the same, even if the bad luck comes, as long as it is not fatal, it will not endanger the number of lives and life, and Chen Mo is now, a very human minister, and even the Son of Heaven is a puppet in his palm, at this time, the luck is extremely strong, unless there is a catastrophe, otherwise if you want to use your luck to judge the good luck as before, you can only take risks in person.
It's just that this kind of thing is not what Chen Mo's status should do, after a while, Chen Mo still gave up the idea of judging the good fortune of this battle by luck, his luck has been connected to the national fortune, it is very stable, and the victory or defeat in a small range cannot cause too many waves at all, just like when Bao Geng died in the frontier, although Chen Mo felt it, his luck did not even change at all.
It's a good thing to have a lot of luck, but it's not a good thing, it can be said that there are gains and losses.
In this war with Cao Cao, the system immortals can not provide much help, and in this battle, you have to rely on yourself to judge the gains and losses and make the most reasonable judgment.
If Cao Cao's tiger and leopard cavalry is killed, he will have an absolute advantage in the cavalry, but he doesn't know the next step, how will Brother Meng De deal with it?
After a long time, Chen Mo opened his eyes, looked at the map on the table, and suddenly smiled, no matter what, this battle, he has to win, although he and Cao Cao are friends, but the battle in the world is not half a step.
……
In the middle of the night, even if it was already spring back to the earth, but the night was very cold, and a cavalry walked like a ghost on this wilderness, the horse's hooves wrapped the cloth, and the sound was not too loud, far away, and it could not be heard at all.
Cao Chun looked at the map while determining the direction, and the speed of the war horse was not very fast.
Behind him, a knight named tiger and leopard riding silently followed, no one spoke, the tiger and leopard riding as the most elite force under Cao Cao's command, are formed after strict training, three thousand tigers and leopards riding in the night, except for the sound of horses' hooves and breathing, there is no extra sound, it is really like a ghost transiting, cold looking, creepy.
"General, it's getting dark." A rider came to Cao Chun's side and whispered.
Most of the nearby villages were empty, and in order to meet this war, most of the people north of Chenggao were relocated, which also made Cao Chun a lot less troublesome along the way, but in order to avoid the scouts of the Guanzhong Army, Cao Chun still chose to go out day and night along the way.
"It shouldn't be far off." Cao Chun put away the map, looked around, pointed to a forest in front of him, and said in a deep voice: "I'll rest here during the day, and send someone to the northwest to investigate, be careful, don't be discovered by enemy sentinels." ”
"Whoa!" The cavalry general heard the words and agreed, and at that moment Cao Chun led the army into the woods and began to rest, and there were scouts who groped and probed in the direction pointed by Cao Chun, carefully avoiding the enemy's scouts, and in the daytime, Cao Chun did not rest, but waited for the return of the sentinels.
The enemy camp was not found for the time being, but according to the scouts, there were obviously many more scouts around this area than in other places, and they were much more vigilant.
It should be nearby.
After comparing the map, Cao Chun made sure that he did not go the wrong way, now, just waiting for the sunset, he should be able to find the location of the opponent's grain tonight, as long as he can burn the enemy's grain and grass, then this battle will be won.
Time passed quietly in this dreary waiting, and in the evening, Cao Chun was woken up, and he didn't know how he fell asleep.
"General, I found it!" The rider came to Cao Chun's side and bowed.
"Oh?" Cao Chun's eyes lit up, he sat up straight and said, "Where is it?" ”
"To the northwest, less than twenty miles, we will be able to reach it tonight." The cavalry will bow down, in fact, here is only more than 100 miles away from Guandu, with the speed of the tiger and leopard riding, if you rush with all your strength, you can arrive in one day, but there is no exact location, and the second is to avoid being discovered by the Guanzhong army, so this way they went out day and night, while exploring, while hurrying, it took a full five days to find the enemy's location.
Calculated that twenty miles a day is a shameful speed for the cavalry, but there is no way, the night march cannot be compared with the day march, let alone run with all its might, and it is good to be able to find the exact position of the other party in five days.
"Inform the soldiers and prepare to go!" Cao Chun looked at the sky, got up and said in a deep voice: "Eat something, prepare for a battle tonight." ”
"Whoa!" The general said yes and went to give the order.
In order to avoid being discovered by the enemy, these things naturally could not be used, so people could only call them one by one, and when the soldiers and horses were assembled, the sun had completely set, and the whole world was swallowed up by darkness.
Cao Chun washed his face fiercely with the water in the water bladder, making himself sober, the more this time, the more he can't be careless, tonight's battle is related to the final victory or defeat of this Central Plains war, this matter can't be messed up.
Under the leadership of the scouts, the distance of more than ten miles was very fast, which was different from the past, tonight they had a clear goal, and the march was naturally faster.
The faint light of the fire was quite eye-catching in the darkness, and through the faint light of the fire, you could see the soldiers patrolling back and forth in the barracks, which was obviously a remote place in the rear of the enemy army, but the scale of this defense was not like the level of a remote battalion.
It must be here!
Cao Chun silently pulled out the sword at his waist, raised it high, and then slashed it down, at this time, there was no need to hide his tracks.
