Chapter 4 Section 022 Wind and Snow Road
"Governor. There's a spy coming to report. Cao Zhen led an army of 15,000 out of Huguan and went straight to Yecheng."
"Governor. The spies came to report. Xiahou Shang led an army of 15,000 and left the plain. Go straight to Yecheng."
"Governor. Cao Cao's general Xiahoudun. Open jaw leads 50,000 troops. Go straight to Yecheng. At this time, the former army has already left Nanpi."
One secret report after another. It was handed to Guan Zheng one after another. Today is the third day of the Lunar New Year. It seems that Cao Cao is impatient to recapture Yecheng.
"Governor. Or let's go out of the city and choose our way. Give him a punch." Wei Yan sat at the bottom of the stairs. After listening to the secret report, he stood up and said.
"Zhang Fei." Guan Zheng listened to Wei Yan's suggestion. I can't help but light up. Then he got up and was about to give the order.
"In. At. Is there a war to fight. Send me to go. Send me to it." Zhang Fei was leaning there boredly and plucking his ears. As soon as I heard Guan Zheng call him. Hurriedly stood up and shouted in response.
"Cao Cao came to attack Ye in three ways. Maybe it's going to be a four-way. And the white horse's road has not yet moved. We can't let them get it in stride. Thou hast drawn five thousand elite soldiers to ambush and halfway there. Be sure to defeat Cao Zhen's troops. After victory, you may be able to pursue. If you can take advantage of the situation, take the pot off. You and I can protect each other like horns. If not. then quickly return to Yecheng." Guan Zheng ordered Zhang Fei.
"Hahaha. Good. I'm going to go now." Zhang Fei heard that there was a battle to fight. Immediately laughed and patted his belly. A hug fist.
"Wei Yan." Guan Zheng watched Zhang Fei leave the hall. Turning his head to Wei Yandao.
"The end will be." Wei Yan was envious of Zhang Fei when he had made another contribution. The voice of Guan Zheng came from my ears. Hearing this, he hurriedly got up and hugged his fists.
"I ordered you to draw five thousand soldiers. Hit the east gate and go out. Intercepted that Xiahou Shang halfway. Before most of Cao's army arrived. Crush them. Then quickly return to Yecheng." Guan Zheng sent two of his fierce generals in a company. The purpose was to frustrate Cao Cao's plan to encircle the three armies. As long as Cao Zhen and Xiahou Shang are defeated. Cao Cao's soldiers and horses are left. There is no need to worry. Even the White Horse defenders came to the fight. With tens of thousands of elite soldiers in hand. There is still a great deal of certainty in defending Yecheng.
"General. Rest at the foot of the hill ahead before marching. The soldiers braved the wind and snow for several days. It's a bit overwhelming." Cao Zhen's subordinate general came to persuade him.
"It's fine. Find a shelter from the wind ahead. Bury the pot to make rice. Eat some hot food to warm up and go again." Hearing this, Cao Zhen forcibly endured the chill that seeped into his body from the iron armor. Nodding to the general.
"Quick. Fast. All speed up. The general has an order. Bury the pot in a sheltered place in front of you to make rice. Rest, rest, rest, and then go." The overjoyed Cao soldiers shouted loudly to the Cao soldiers who were shrinking their heads in the wind and snow.
People have goals. will be motivated. The Cao soldiers, who had been suffering in the wind and snow for a few days, heard that they could rest in front. You can also eat a hot meal. The spirit came up all of a sudden. My waist is no longer sore, and my back is no longer painful. The legs and feet are also sharp. Buried in the wind, he walked forward so quickly. They didn't want to stay longer in the snow.
"Hurry, hurry, hurry. Hurry up and set up the stove. A few of you. Go and chop more firewood in the woods. I don't know if I'll be happy with the general later. I'm not going to leave today." I found a shelter from the wind by the mountains and forests. The generals and colonels of the Cao army have commanded the soldiers under their command to build the stove. It's time to chop wood. For a while, the camp was in full swing.
"Hey. I said what kind of battle is there for the New Year. I just hugged my daughter-in-law and prepared to have a plate. I was called out." Hundreds of soldiers who were ordered to go into the forest to cut wood. There whispered complaints.
"You're pretty good. Lao Tzu just got up. I'm about to kowtow to my father and mother for the New Year. I was dragged out of the military school." Cao Bing looked back and forth. Said there in a suppressed voice.
"Such a big snow. What are you going to do? Hey I said. It's better to wait a little longer. Drag it out for a while. The general asked. Let's just say that the snow in the forest is deep. Not good to cut down. Anyway, Yecheng is lost. Go one day earlier and go one day later. It's not a big deal. What do you say?" There's that slippery little Cao Bing. Wrapped in a thin jacket. Whisper to the left and right.
"Makes sense. It takes us a lot of hours to cut down trees. Then they waited for the firewood to cook and were delayed for an hour. It will take an hour to pull out the camp after the meal is finished. Hey. By then it was getting dark. You can be here today. Resting and spanking. That's it. Let's not stand together. Spread out. So that even if the captain comes to find. I won't be able to get together for a while. I can spend some more time again." I heard the slick soldier say that. Immediately, there were fellow believers there who were in line with the path.
"Hurry. All spread out and scattered. Later. Time is almost in the mix. With the whistle as the signal, everyone assembles again. But. Grinding is grinding. The work to be done. Don't be left behind. If you go back, you won't be able to pay the difference. I'm not allowed to eat the board. I understand everything." A veteran in the team. There to tell these little young people. I'm afraid I'll forget my shape for a while. I messed up the things I had to tell me. At that time, I am afraid that it will be light. The Sin of the Slow Army. Enough to cut off the head.
"Understood, understood. The tree should be cut down. The firewood is picked. Anyway, let's do a nice job. I guess I won't say anything when I rub the time. Start. Start. Leave the light until the evening." There are soldiers who look like Nash. Hearing this, he immediately said with a smile there.
"I'm grass. This snow is so thick on the branches. As soon as you move, you will pounce and fall down. Lao Tzu is all wet. At night, you have to boil some hot water to soak it to ward off the cold. Otherwise, you will have to get sick." An axe down. One of the soldiers was buried by the snow falling from the trees. After rolling out of the snowdrift. Shaking the snowflakes all over his face. There he yelled at it.
"Stop complaining. There are so many dead branches in front of you, you don't pick them up. I'm going to cut down this tree. I don't have a bright head." There was a Cao soldier carrying a bundle of dead branches on his back. Laughing at his comrades.
"Carry your firewood. Don't cut down some big trees. How to build a barracks. Do you sleep in the snow at night? And also. Your bundle of withered branches; I don't think I can even cook a pot of rice." The soldier laughed at his face. Hurriedly sneered. Wait until the soldier with the dead branch is gone. He just looked left and right. Pin the axe to your waist. I ran past the dead branches in front of me.
"Paralysis. Are you really stupid? Don't cut down trees. Lao Tzu doesn't cut it anymore. Scoop up the bundles of branches and carry them back. Hang up and fall together." The soldier reached out and picked up the dead branches from the snow. Muttering in his mouth.
