Chapter 217 Crossing the river on a pontoon bridge

On the bank of the Shuishui River, the Cao army camp, the flag flutters, the drum is like thunder, there are trenches outside, there are barriers inside, and the battalions are interlocking, forming a solid defense system, anyone who sees such a layout, will praise: "This battalion is deep and the soldiers are wonderful!" ”

However, there are no soldiers, and the most crucial thing is missing in the camp!

"There is no one in the front camp!"

"There is no one in the Chinese army!"

"There's still no one in the back account!"

When Zhang Xiu led the Xiliang soldiers to rush in, what he saw was such a scene, the camp was intact, tents, vehicles, drums, and ordnance were all available, and even the case of the commander of the Chinese army was placed in place and not moved, but he didn't see a shadow of Cao Jun, as if he had disappeared out of thin air!

In the big camp, there were only a few dozen poor goats, whose mouths were tied, hung upside down on a wooden frame, and a war drum was placed under the hooves.

"What a ghost-faced Xiao Lang, a good trick for the golden cicada to come out of his shell, it's really beautiful, the old man is ashamed of himself!" Jia Xu looked back and forth in the camp, his eyes were bigger than eggs, and now he wanted to know one thing, how did Xiao Yi evacuate 100,000 horses overnight?

In order to prevent the Cao army from escaping, the Xiliang army sent a large number of rangers, always paying attention to Cao Ying's every move, Jia Xu can be 100,000 points sure, just yesterday at dusk, in the camp where the 100,000 Cao army was still stationed, why did they disappear without a trace overnight?

It is impossible to go to the sky, and it is impossible to enter the ground, the only possibility is that the Cao army has all retreated, and the retreat is extremely fast and silent!

The only way for Cao Jun to retreat is Shuishui, where the river is wide and there are no bridges, Jia Xu carefully calculated, if it is all transported back and forth by boat, there is no time for three or five days, and he does not want to cross 100,000 horses, is it impossible for Cao Jun to fly over?

The question is in front of you, but the answer is in your heart!

Jia Xu came to the river, pacing back and forth, thinking repeatedly, it is impossible for the army to cross the river overnight with ordinary methods, Xiao Yiyou must have some clever plan, will he not be able to move?

When Jia Xu happened to see a few wooden planks floating on the river, he finally realized, "I see, what a clever way!" ”

"There is no bridge on the river, but you can build one!" This poisoner is also a resourceful person, and after some thought, he finally deduced the specific action method of Xiao Yi's withdrawal of troops!

In order to confuse the Xiliang army in the city, Xiao Yi went to the city for three days to scold the challenge, and at the same time sent soldiers to cut down trees, build equipment, and put on a posture of attacking the city with all his might.

Of course, in three days, not many boats can be built, and it is far from enough for 100,000 troops to cross the river, but Xiao Yi has another clever method, he asked hundreds of built boats to be lined up in the water, connected with ropes, and then laid wooden planks, so that a simple pontoon bridge appeared, and people and horses stepped on it, as if walking on the ground, which was extremely convenient!

In addition, in order to speed up the withdrawal of the army, Xiao Yi abandoned all the heavy grain and grass in the camp, except for soldiers and war horses, other things were not allowed to be taken away, without the burden of those altars and jars, and then arranged the scheduling order, overnight, it was not difficult to cross the river safely!

After crossing the river, the planks were dismantled, and all the boats were scuttled.

After listening to Jia Xu's explanation, those Xiliang generals were dumbfounded, and then they beat their chests, they hated it, not because they hated Xiao Yi for being cunning like a fox, but because they hated their own father, who was also a human being, how could they make themselves so stupid?

No wonder the ghost-faced Xiao Lang crisscrossed the battlefield, invincible in a hundred battles, fighting, in the end, it is still a game for smart people!

"Sir, Cao Jun has escaped, what should we do next?" Zhang Xiu was also depressed, the boiled duck flew, and the city was divided, and the dream of dominating one side was shattered.

Jia Xu sighed: "Let the tiger return to the mountain, it will eventually become a big disaster, and when things develop to this point, there is only one way to do it!" ”

Cao Cao had a dream, in the dream, he was a small snake with black and white lines, weak and pitiful, inhabiting a water meadow, drinking dew, feeding on fish and shrimp, although the days were hard, but also at ease!

Later, the little snake grew up, and its strength became stronger, it began to be dissatisfied with this small water meadow, driven by ambition, it traveled in all directions, and countless similar people fought, killed, devoured, and gradually expanded its territory, day after day, year after year, the little snake grew into a giant python, extremely powerful, and then a gust of wind and clouds blew, the snake turned into a dragon, soaring for nine days!

The dragon is extremely proud, it travels in space, smiling proudly, the sun, moon and stars are his toys, the endless galaxy is its bed, it is really as comfortable as it is!

But the beautiful scenery didn't last long, and a gold-armored god man holding a sword suddenly appeared, pointed at the dragon, and rebuked sharply: "Bold and demonic, it is a lowly thing, and I dare to pretend to be a dragon", and then slashed it with a sword!

The dragon was frightened and hurriedly lowered his head to dodge, but the sword of the god was too sharp, and although it avoided the vital point, the dragon horn on his head was cut off by a sword!

Approaching the sword of the godman again, this time cutting off the dragon's tail, for a while, the scales and armor flew, blood gushed out, and the dragon howled in pain, but the godman did not stop, raised the sword, and prepared to kill with the last blow!

But at this moment, a loud wolf howl sounded in the sky, the momentum was huge, shocking the nine heavens and ten earths, even the golden armor gods were stunned, taking this opportunity, the seriously injured dragon fled, and then, Cao Cao woke up!

"The headache is splitting, the ears are roaring, the throat is as dry as a fire, and there is a strong smell of blood, and there are thousands of pounds of weight hanging on the eyelids, and I can't lift it at all, what's wrong with the old man?"

"By the way, Wancheng, the fire, the defeat, the son is gone, and he is seriously injured", for a long time, Cao Cao finally recalled what happened, and the consciousness in his mind became more and more sober, although he couldn't open his eyes, but he could feel the situation around him!

"I seem to be lying in a wooden box, surrounded by darkness, listen with my ears, there is the rumbling of horses' hooves outside, the sound of rattling wheels, it seems that there are still people crying, crying very sadly, do you say that you are dead, you have been put in a coffin?"

Thinking of this terrible result, Cao Cao was suddenly shocked into a cold sweat, he desperately opened his mouth, wanted to shout, wanted to tell the people outside that he was not dead, and he could not die, the hegemony was not completed, the princes had not been pacified, and his wife and children were still waiting for him to go back

People are like this, the more things that can't be given up, the stronger the ** to survive, even ordinary people are worried about a few acres of thin fields at home, an old cow, and they refuse to close their eyes, not to mention the dignified prime minister of the Han Dynasty?

The authority of the world, the beautiful wife and concubine, the gold and silver treasures, these things strongly stimulated Cao Cao's nerves, making him struggle desperately, and after several efforts, he finally opened his eyes with all his strength

"Darkness, there's darkness everywhere, there's a little bit of light, where is this?"

It took a long time for Cao Cao's eyes to get used to it, it turned out that he was lying in a huge carriage, with a thick fur coat under him, very warm, the vehicle was moving slowly, and there were two teenagers sitting next to him who were crying in a low voice, it was his sons Cao Zhang and Cao Zhi!

In the past few days, the most painful thing is the two brothers, almost overnight, the father fell into a coma, the eldest brother died, and the second brother also left alone, they are so helpless, frightened, and afraid, as if the end is coming, if it weren't for Xiao Yi's timely appearance, so that they found a little support, it is estimated that the two of them would have a mental breakdown!

"Father is awake! Father is awake! ”

Seeing Cao Cao open his eyes, the two brothers jumped and jumped happily, Cao Zhi was smarter, and immediately helped his father up, began to feed the water, and helped Shunqi, while Cao Zhang jumped out of the carriage and ran to report the news!

Soon, the curtain of the car was lifted, revealing two faces full of wind and frost, one was slightly black and the other was pale, it was Xiao Yi and Guo Jia, they were guarding outside the car, and when they learned that Cao Cao had woken up, they immediately came in to check!

"Xiao Lang, Feng Xiao, thank you for your hard work!" Looking at the literature and martial arts under his command, Cao Cao nodded vigorously, and squeezed out a smile!

"Prime Minister rest assured, the army has left the dangerous place and is on the way back to Xuchang, everything is safe!" Seeing that Cao Cao finally woke up, Xiao Yi and Guo Jia also breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank God, the dark clouds in the sky have finally dispersed!" ”
