In the border barracks, there were suddenly several more units in charge of patrolling. Among them, there were some gold armor and silver helmets, and the spears and spears in their hands flashed with a cold light, and they surrounded the big tent where Cao Xianye was sitting, their eyes blazing.

In the barracks, Cao Xianye and Cao Tianque sat opposite each other.

Just now, Cao Tianque had already told Chu Nanxun about ambushing Lu Zhao and accidentally injuring Princess Shiyi. No reduction, no addition, just as it is.

For a long time, finding Princess Shiyi has been Cao Xianye's top priority. After the end of the last war, Princess Shiyi was sent to the border, but she accidentally let this girl run away.

Fortunately, this time it appeared, although it was a little injured, but the person was fine, that is a good thing.

"General, the princess has a splint on her arm, and there must be no way to send it over. If the Huns sent someone to the capital, then we can't explain it. ”

Cao Tianque frowned, when the time comes, he can certainly push Chu Nanxun and the people behind him out and talk back. But the Cao family is also accused of poor care, in the final analysis, the princess was injured here.

Cao Xianye sat like Mount Tai, staring at the desktop with a pair of tiger eyes, and said: "What Lu Zhao sent is the highest-level spy report of the embroidered messenger, and the military defense map has been stolen. This matter is inseparable from the person who sent Chu Nan to find a move. You've been getting closer to Chu Nanxun recently, adding a little pressure to that guy. In addition, secretly protect Lu Zhao, and they will send someone to find him. Your second uncle was not successful enough, and he actually revealed the secret words you went to ask him. ”

"I hope he didn't mean to." Cao Tianque sighed.

Cao Xianye was stunned, as if Cao Tianque didn't say this.

It is inevitable that there will be contradictions when there are too many people, and not every Cao family can endure the hardships of the border pass. But it is impossible for Cao Xianye to leave the coward in the capital, firstly, it is unfair to the sons and daughters who rushed to the battlefield, and secondly, it is also a scourge to keep them. He chose to stay in the capital because after he returned, he could afford to be the pillar of the Cao family.

"I think it's more appropriate to recruit him into the army."

Cao Tianque pondered for a moment and made a suggestion. He saw with his own eyes the fighting process of Lu Zhao and Chu Nanxun, who had not been trained or experienced fighting, and had such courage and ability, which was rare since ancient times.

"Join the army?"

Cao Xianye pondered, the requirements of the border army are relatively low. Because the death rate here is so high, so high that many of the first wars will not survive.

"Yes, join the army. In this way, it is easier for us to protect him, and it is difficult for someone to escape our eyes if someone wants to find him. Moreover, some people must be more interested in him. ”

Cao Tianque raised his head, his eyes burning.

In the Cao family's generation, he is the undisputed first person. From force to strategy to military exploits, they are all . Moreover, he is a little different from Cao Xianye. Cao Xianye's whole life has been guarding the Great Wall and fighting against the Xiongnu. And Cao Tianque, in addition, also hopes that he can be a supreme minister and be crowned a general! A general who stands above the court, under one person, and above ten thousand!

"Okay, just join your team and let him be a scout."

Cao Xianye's eyes flashed with a hint of fierceness, just like Cao Xianye who was standing at the head of the city when the Hun army came to attack that day.

"Just a scout? Grandpa, if a recruit like him joins directly, the hope of surviving is too small. ”

Cao Tianque was so surprised that he even shouted out his grandfather, mainly because this decision surprised him too much.

Cao Xianye said with a sad face: "When you went out to do something, Lingyun girl came to visit. I only knew that something had happened to the Black Tiger, and the batch of materials transported for the imperial court was robbed by the Huns. All the dart masters died in battle, and it was when Lingyun girl met Lu Zhao that she was lucky to survive. This Lu Zhao's courage, archery, and equestrian skills are extraordinary, and there is another one named Yu Zhan next to him, who has extremely strong combat effectiveness. ”

Cao Tianque was stunned and asked, "Uncle Black Tiger, are you dead... And then there are two people like this, so powerful? ”

"I'm worried about that, too."

Cao Xianye nodded and said, "I'm also worried that these two people will be spies sent by Ge Tianyuan, that woman is sinister and cunning. Even I was afraid that if an embroidered messenger fell into her hands, a large string would be pulled out. ”

"This matter, Master Jiang must have made arrangements. Do you mean to bring them all into the scouts, not only as a bait, but also to test them by the way? Cao Tianque asked suspiciously, he was really a little afraid of Ge Tianyu.

Cao Xianye said in a deep voice: "Yes, kill three birds with one stone." No matter who is brought in, it's a good thing. It's useless for me to worry about the matter of the embroidered messenger. Presumably, Lord Jiang will make arrangements for this. ”

Cao Tianque asked tentatively: "What about the military defense map?" ”

According to the letter sent by Lu Zhao, someone leaked all the military defense maps around Yumen Pass to the Xiongnu. The distribution of forces, their strength, and the tactical changes that could be produced with them all fell into the eyes of Ge Tiankite. With this woman's intelligence, Yumen Pass has become an undefended city. Sooner or later, she will have to find a way to turn it into a battle to the death. There is no city to rely on, no danger to defend, and the Han and Xiongnu fight, but they will suffer a little.

But troop scheduling is not something that Cao Xianye can say alone. At least the prepared plan should be sent to the capital for the emperor to see, this time it will be gone, and it will be gone in a month.

Although this is a formality, and there has long been a saying that the foreign monarch will not be subject to the order. It is not a very comfortable thing to be involved in a book by the officials. Especially good at using the army, it has been a taboo for emperors since ancient times.

Cao Xianye was a little entangled, and couldn't help but sigh and said, "It would be nice if the embroidered messenger himself conveyed the news." ”

Cao Tianque nodded in agreement: "Yes, then let's be cautious, and take countermeasures in advance, and there will be Lord Jiang to help speak." Presumably, there are few people in the capital who dare to confront Lord Jiang head-on. ”

Cao Xianye rubbed his brows and said, "That's right, that's right." ”

Cao Tianque shut up, he thought of a way in his heart, but he didn't dare to bring it up. It is not difficult to take a step out, and it is rare to be able to do the work later.

Long.

Cao Xianye got up, walked to the front of the sand table in the big tent, looked at the Yumen Pass full of flags, and suddenly ordered: "Transfer, transfer the city defense according to the backup plan." Recruit Lu Zhao and Yu Zhan to the scout team as soon as possible. After confirming that they have no problems, choose one person to become the successor of the embroidered messenger. ”

"Yes."

Cao Tianque bowed and withdrew, glanced at Chu Nanxun, who was trembling outside, and said with a smile: "Follow me." ”

Subsequently, the two left the barracks together.
