Chapter 5 The Idealism of the World 21. Hunt wolves and tigers

Sizhou, Henan Yin, Luoyang.

"Then the matter here will be troubled by the generals."

Cao Cao's brigade of soldiers and horses had already set off for the west, and Guo Jiachong, Xu Chu and others, who were the last to set off, surrendered.

"Don't worry, we will repair Luoyang as soon as possible." Xu Chu responded.

"No, just leave it like that, don't rebuild."

"Oh? Why is that? Another sub-commander, Wei Tao, asked suspiciously.

"If this Luoyang is already a new look, how can the emperor be willing to move to Xu County?" After speaking, Guo Jia smiled mysteriously.

"Yes, I'll see."

In this way, leaving Xu Chu and the others who had nothing to do, Cao Cao set off.

As discussed by Nie Hong and others before, Cao Cao left all the people of the original Hebei General Hall behind, in order not to give those pedantic ministers any excuses.

But this doesn't matter, after all, there are also good generals such as Dian Wei, Cao Xiu, and Cao Chun who are now by Cao Cao's side, as well as general wise people such as Guo Jia, Xun Yu, and Cheng Yu.

The reason why such a large battle was used was to show that Cao Cao attached great importance to the emperor. Of course, this does not mean that his territory is empty.

Cao Ren was stationed in Taishan County to guard against LΓΌ Bu and Liu Bei, Xiahoudun was monitoring Yuan Shao's movements in Dongjun, and Nie Hong and others were fighting against Yuan Shu in Runan County.

Now to say that Cao Cao's only worry is Xiahou Yuan who stayed in Yanzhou, after all, his troops are the least. However, troops have been sent from all sides, even if there are a few thieves in Yanzhou, Xiahou Yuan's talent is enough to deal with it.

Perfectly armed, coupled with Xu County, which is being renovated, Cao Cao's preparations to welcome the Son of Heaven are sufficient.

……

"Bong-hyo." The speed of the team's progress was not slow, but Cao Cao was still very anxious, but as a general, it was inconvenient to express his feelings at will, so he had to call Guo Jia to talk.

"My lord, what do you command?" Guo Jia led the horse to catch up with Cao Cao.

"I heard your scout report that he found the traces of the assassin from before?"

"Yes, he seems to be following behind our army with more than 2,000 men."

"Heh, he's also a stubborn person."

"Yes, this kind of attachment is really rare." Guo Jia nodded.

The night handsome Shen Rong, like a wandering soul in Yanzhou, has always been a confidant of everyone. Even though he was able to order Yishuai and the Leech Battalion to arrive in time because of the strong infiltration ability of the intelligence network, he could not be eliminated in the end.

And what annoyed the most for the civil and military was that they knew that he was in Yanzhou, but they couldn't capture him.

Of course, Shen Rong would not be caught, because when he was not acting, his two thousand men and horses would not gather together at all.

This is Shen Rong's bearing. Out of confidence in his subordinates, he chose to scatter the 2,000 men and horses in various villages and towns or mountains, and some even built simple leaf sheds as resting places.

As for food, it is basically harvested and hunted. It was such a difficult condition, and none of Shen Rong's two thousand subordinates chose to be deserters.

That's the scary thing about the bees.

The highly unified belief and will make each of them have the same tenacity as Shen Rong.

And every time you need to act, you only use the password that has been agreed on a long time ago to notify you in advance the day before.

It's just that now Sizhou is chaotic and bandits are rampant, Shen Rong didn't dare to take risks, for fear that his subordinates would be weak and not killed by Cao Cao's people, but planted in the hands of bandits.

Guo Jianeng discovered them because of this.

After all, if it weren't for soldiers or merchants, it would be a bit difficult to hide two thousand people marching together.

……

After Cao Cao listened to Guo Jia's simple statement, he smiled slightly: "Fengxiao, since you have already found out the other party's movements, you must have already thought of a complete strategy." ”

"Back to the lord, that's good," Guo Jia said casually: "The first step of this complete strategy is to use the lord as bait." ”

"Bonghyo!" Xun Yu stopped Guo Jia, "Lord, now that my army is marching, no matter how high his martial arts are, he can't cross this layer of guards, so he must obey Fengxiao's words." ”

"Wen Ruo, I know you are kind. But this Shen Rong is always like the ghost around our army, which really gives me a headache. Now that you have a plan for filial piety, why not try it? ”

"Humph!" Xun Yu flicked his sleeves and no longer looked at Cao Cao, but just said as if talking to himself: "I, Xun Yu, am a sin, and the strategists recommended are all crazy!" ”

Cao Cao looked at Guo Jia and smiled bitterly, this old-fashioned Xun Wenruo is good at everything, but he is too disciplined and cautious. Cao Cao and Guo Jia both knew that he was still annoyed by what happened to Duan Xuan at the beginning.

"Wen Ruo, don't worry, I will definitely protect the lord." Guo Jia smiled confidently.

Xun Yu didn't even reply, as if he hadn't heard it at all.

Cao Cao knew that if he was entangled in this matter again, Old Master Xun was afraid that it was about to break out, so he diverted the topic and asked: "The other party only has 2,000 men and horses, and it will definitely not approach, do you say that you use me as bait, do you want me to break away from the army?" ”

"The Lord is wise. It's not just about getting out of the way, it's about convincing the other party that they won't fall for it. ”

"So how?"

"Three birds with one stone."

"You mean ......"

"Send someone to send a message to Yang Feng, saying that the lord is ready to meet with him."

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

At this time, Yang Feng didn't know that he had become a pawn in other people's strategies.

All the beast was thinking about now was how to protect its food.

From the moment he joined Nightfang, he thought that he would never live under the sun again in his life.

But his life is like this, and now he has become a loyal minister who rescues and escorts the driver, and the main general who escorts the Son of Heaven to the east, I have to say that Yang Feng's heart has also forgotten his roots.

What he thought about changed from how to escort the Son of Heaven back to Luoyang to how to keep his position in front of the Son of Heaven.

Cao Hong's arrival gave Yang Feng a sense of crisis for the first time.

He had to recognize a fact - the world was in chaos, and the princes in the east were essentially no different from Li Dao. Moreover, he was a little overconfident that only by relying on his own strength could he keep the Son of Heaven.

Cao Hong had only 2,000 men, which was insignificant compared to his own army of 10,000. But Yang Feng is not a fool, he knows very well that Cao Cao will inevitably have a large army.

Therefore, he did not rush to attack Cao Hong. After all, if Cao Cao insisted that he was the king of Laiqin, then Yang Feng would have no evidence to prove that he was in trouble.

In this way, many days have been spent on both sides.

Today, however, all that changed, as Cao Hong's men and horses suddenly began to withdraw away from the emperor's position.

Just when Yang Feng was puzzled, he received a handwritten letter from Cao Cao. The content is very simple, it is nothing more than wanting to make an appointment with Yang Feng to meet and make it clear in person, and the letter clearly states that Cao Cao only brought five hundred soldiers.

Although Yang Feng had doubts, he had no choice but to agree, but he didn't believe Cao Cao, so he set off with 4,000 of the 10,000 horses.

……

It's June, and the weather is already a bit hot.

Yang Feng waited at the designated place as agreed in the letter.

Such weather, coupled with the boredom of waiting, made Yang Feng a little impatient. Luckily, there was a voice in the distance.

Yang Feng raised his head on the horse and looked at it with his hands on the pergola.

Sure enough, there were some figures in the distance, not many of them, but there should be more than two thousand.

Yang Feng thought to himself, this Cao Cao didn't have the courage to do so.

But then he realized that something was wrong, for these men did not seem to be soldiers, and they seemed to be being chased by something.

Yang Feng immediately became nervous and hurriedly ordered to line up.

He could only tell that these were not soldiers, but he didn't know that these people were called Bee Soldiers.

This is one of Guo Jia's plans.

Earlier, Cao Cao did only lead five hundred people out of the camp, and the two people who were sent by Shen Rong to spy on him also learned the news, and one of them hurriedly went to inform Shen Rong.

Although Shen Rong didn't know what Cao Cao was going to do, it was always an opportunity for the soldiers to go out of the camp.

However, he was not uncareful, even after Cao Cao had left, the bee was still watching his camp.

Of course, this is a plan, but Shen Rong will not be rewarded.

Guo Jia had long known that Cao Cao's army was being monitored, so he just borrowed them as an opening to let Shen Rong know that Cao Cao was out of the camp. After that, the person who was watching was useless, and Guo Jia ordered Shi Jian and Han Hao to quietly kill him.

As for what happened next, the whole army marched forward according to the plan laid down earlier.

Therefore, when Shen Rong appeared from the south and was about to attack Cao Cao, Cao Cao's brigade arrived.

Shen Rong was annoyed, so he could only withdraw.

However, the direction of the retreat was not up to him. Because according to Guo Jia's strategy, the cavalry outflanked from both sides, leaving only the west alive for Shen Rong.

In this way, Shen Rong was driven all the way by Cao Cao's army, and the direction in which Guo Jia drove them was the meeting place agreed with Yang Feng.

Shen Rong could tell a lot clearly, and when he saw Yang Feng's soldiers and horses, although he was shocked in his heart, he could only rush forward. Compared with the infantry behind them, these "ambushes" in front seem to be easier to deal with.

Facts have proved that Shen Rong's judgment is completely correct.

Yang Feng's soldiers and horses were basically the original Baibo Army, and most of its predecessors were Hanzhong Yefeng.

Unlike the normal operation of other main halls, these people did not have strict training, but only relied on bravery and personal martial arts to fight.

The main thing is that they have not fought with such a unit as the Bee Soldiers at all.

Yang Feng's charge made Shen Rong feel at ease. Two thousand foot soldiers passed through the charge of four thousand cavalry, and if the cavalry were really well-trained, then no more than three hundred foot soldiers would survive.

But Shen Rong unexpectedly found that in this collision, he lost less than a hundred bee soldiers!

These cavalry are miscellaneous troops!

With this fact, he gave the order to kill the cavalry, seize the horses and withdraw.

……

Cao Cao's army also arrived, but it arrived very leisurely.

According to Guo Jia's words: "Are you in a hurry to cut people? Don't you have to wipe your weapon if it's stained with blood? Let them fight for a while. ”

All the generals had itchy hands, but seeing Cao Cao's satisfied smile, they couldn't say anything more.

They don't understand, but Cao Cao understands, Guo Jia is waiting for an opportunity, waiting for the moment when Shen Rong's subordinates win the war horse.

Because at that time, when Cao Jun stepped forward to fight chaotically, it was impossible to distinguish whether the enemy he hacked to death belonged to Yang Feng or Shen Rong......
