"His grandmother's! Which play is this Cao Wenyao singing? He came to fight the pond, but when he came here, he made a posture of a turtle with a shrunken head, is he coming to beat us, or is he waiting for us to beat him? Li Yantian stood on the hill angrily and watched Cao Wenyao's barracks below with Liu Bao's binoculars.

Liu Bao smiled, took the binoculars and looked at Cao Wenyao's barracks, then patted Li Yantian on the shoulder and walked down the hill.

"This Cao Wenyao is a smart person, and he knows that this time his troops came to collect the pond, and they were simply delivering food to us! But if you don't come, you are suspected of disobedience and disrespect, and you can't beat it, so you just came to disobey the yang and the yin, and when you get here, you shrink in the camp, probably because you want to wait and see the limelight and wait for Shaanxi to send more reinforcements! Liu Bao said to Li Yantian as he walked.

"So let's just watch him stop here, can't you go up or down?" Li Yantian worked hard and wanted to make a contribution, but when he got here, he had no place to use his strength, so how could he not be in a hurry?

Liu Bao shook his head and said, "Brother Li, don't worry, Cao Wenyao doesn't dare to fight, it doesn't mean that we are here to spend time with him!" This guy is also a cunning guy, don't look at it and don't move here, but it's not idle, let's wait two more days to see what this guy is doing! I don't think this guy will be willing to lie here like this! I'm sure I'll come up with bad ideas! ”

Although Li Yantian wanted to go up to fight, but Liu Bao had the final say, and he had to listen to Liu Bao's orders, so he could only nod and agree, but he was still a little unwilling, and discussed with Liu Bao whether to give the official army a night attack or something.

"I'm afraid it won't work! If Cao Wenyao first came, let's give him a guy to estimate that there is still a possibility of success, but now it seems that the opportunity has been missed, you must know that when Cao Wenyao first came to Henan, Yao Ben gave him such a time, this guy must have accepted the lesson, and if you want to rely on night attacks to deal with him again, it is estimated that it will be difficult to succeed! Brother Li, don't be so anxious first, since you are now the battalion commander, are you still afraid that there will be no battle to fight? Don't worry, there will be a war for you to fight in the future, our marshal has already said that after we finish fighting this court, we will go back to clean up the Jiannu in the north, and the days of war will be long! Hehe! Liu Bao shook his head and rejected Li Yantian's suggestion and continued to persuade.

After Li Yantian listened, he had to nod and agree, and followed Liu Bao back to the mountain pass camp.

Liu Bao's prediction was actually right, although Cao Wenyao did not dare to offend the mountain pass, but it did not mean that he had no idea at all, in addition to supervising the fortifications of the camp these days, he also constantly sent out to investigate the vicinity at night.

After another two days passed, Liu Bao suddenly summoned Li Yantian to his tent and said to Li Yantian: "I said Brother Li! This time, it seems that I still got the right thing, Cao Wenyao's house is really not a good thing, he is really not idle!

In the past two days, the scouts have found a lot of Cao Wenyao sent out in the north to not collect at night, wandering around the Yellow River, I think that thing surnamed Cao is going to play tricks! Sure enough, today's scouts caught two Cao Wenyao at night and didn't collect them, and after a good fight, the two bamboo tubes poured beans like they were all confessed!

It turned out that Cao Wenyao didn't plan to attack here at all, but made up his mind to lead the division from the Yellow River to take advantage of the current lack of water in the Yellow River to bypass this area and go straight to the pond, which caught us off guard! Hey! Now we have a job to do! ”

Li Yantian came to his senses as soon as he heard this, and immediately asked Liu Bao in a mouthful of Henan dialect: "Brother Liu, tell me quickly, how do we clean up that thing, this turtle is too rampant!" When are we stupid? ”

"Of course I can't let this grandson go! I called you over today to discuss this matter with you, Cao Wenyao has already planned to lead troops from the north to attack Mianchi County tomorrow night, I plan to do so......" Liu Bao and Li Yantian explained his plan in detail.

Li Yantian's face collapsed when he heard this, but what Liu Bao said was not bad, someone always had to be watching here, so he had to salute and show that he obeyed Liu Bao's orders.

Liu Bao laughed and said, "Don't worry, buddy, I know what you want!" Don't you just want your reserve camp to be converted into a war barracks? After this battle, I Lao Liu went to the big boss and said, I promise to do what you want! Hehe! I'll leave it to you! ”

Li Yantian smiled when he heard this, and the depression just now was suddenly swept away, and he smiled so much that the black face was toothless and blind, and he said yes again and again, and his shoulders collapsed, so he had to pounce on him and hug Liu Bao and kiss them.

After Cao Wenyao entered the night, he dressed up neatly, went out of the big tent and glanced at the generals under him, and asked the general who did not accept the night: "How is the situation of the mountain pass thief army?" ”

"Lord Qiyu, there is no movement in the mountain pass bandit army, and they are still stuck in the mountain pass, and I can't see anything different!" That night did not take the handle and replied quickly.

"And what about the north?" Cao Wenyao then asked.

"A few brothers went to the north at noon today, and they didn't find any trace of a large group of thieves, and the thieves shouldn't have expected adults to go over there!" The night does not collect always a little flattering with a smile and replied, these days his subordinates do not collect the night loss is not small, the Xingtianjun in this area scattered a lot of bright and dark sentinels, out of ten nights do not collect, often only come back more than half of it is considered to burn high incense, so the night does not collect now almost no one is willing to do it, but he is a night not to collect the general, can only be hard to hold on.

Cao Wenyao nodded and said, "Okay!" It seems that the thief army did not expect that this official would also treat his people in his own way, and the order was passed on, and the selected people were immediately assembled! Fight with this officer! Remember, give me the title of the horse and pick the bell! Don't make noise when you go out of the camp, don't raise fires! If anyone does something bad to me, don't blame the ruthlessness of my officials! ”

Half an hour later, Cao Wenyao personally led more than 1,000 officers and soldiers, carefully out of the camp, and did not raise fire, everyone held their breath, trotted and followed the people in front of them and quickly disappeared into the night.

Cao Wenyao's election is not bad, there is a moon in the sky, don't worry too much about not being able to see the road if you don't hold a torch on the road, and the selected generals are all soldiers with good physical fitness, there is no night blindness, so along the way, I followed a few explorers back from the moonlight, and I touched the Yellow River all the way.

Liu Bao lay in the grass and silently calculated the time, the weather reached this point, the temperature at night was already low to the extent that it was almost freezing, and there was a layer of cold dew on his helmet, but he didn't care, rubbed his hands and continued to wait.

On the slopes around him, there were many soldiers of the Xingtian Army lying on their stomachs, all of whom were like him, enduring the biting cold and persevering.

"It's four watches! It's almost time to come! It can't be Cao Wenyao's temporary change of hexagram! Or did you find us? An officer who followed Liu Bao squatted beside Liu Bao and whispered to him.

"Wait honestly if you don't come, it's best for him to come, if he doesn't come, let's just come out for night training this time! How? Can't help it? ”

"Hey, hey! Isn't it just a little colder? In the past, when we were refugees, we didn't suffer anything! Now it's a bit of a hard calculation! It's up to you, just wait! Damn, Cao Wenyao didn't come sooner! Hurry up and clean up this house, and go back to sleep peacefully! Hehe! ”

"Stop talking nonsense! Go back and see if your brothers are asleep! Don't fucking someone fall asleep and snore, I heard someone snore from the north just now! If anyone exposes us, Lao Tzu will break his leg and let him go back to sleep! ”

"Yes......," the company commander pulled through the grass and groped towards where his men were lurking.

Liu Bao looked at the moon in the sky, sighed and shook his head and said to himself: "It's time to come!" Why hasn't it appeared yet? ”

But as soon as his words fell, he heard the sound of Xi Xi Suo coming from the bottom of the hillside not far away, and Liu Bao got up as soon as he turned over, and suddenly jumped to the edge of the slope and looked down.

By the light of the moon, Liu Bao really saw a team of people and horses who were also covered with dew coming over, and gradually began to enter his ambush circle.

Liu Bao was finally relieved this time, and kicked a soldier next to him with a bared tooth, and the soldier immediately put his hand to his mouth, and immediately let out a few vivid pheasant cries.

Soon after he learned how to crow pheasants, there were also frogs and night owls chirping on several highlands around him, Liu Bao was completely relieved, reached out and pulled a self-generated fire gun from his side, checked the ignition powder of the medicine pool with the help of moonlight, and covered the medicine pool cover, with a gentle click, pulled the head of the flint stuck open, and stretched out his hand to stretch the self-generated fire gun down the hillside.

At the same time, from several hillsides, there was a slight sound of a rope, and a pole of self-generated fire was stretched out by the fire gunners, and they all aimed at the path below.

Cao Wenyao, who was walking in the middle of the team, felt very nervous all the way, and there always seemed to be an ominous feeling, but he couldn't tell where this ominous feeling came from, so he could only supervise the team and rush all the way to the front.

When he walked to this section of the trail near the Yellow River, half an hour down, nothing happened, which made him a little relieved, according to the night that led the way, through this section, he went out of the mountain, he led these generals, and suddenly appeared behind the thief army before dawn, it is conceivable that even if the thief army is powerful, it will be scared to the soul, once the fight starts, under the attack on both sides, if the thief army wants to be undefeated, it is simply impossible to defeat this thief army, Then Michi County is equal to his blade, so his chances of winning this battle are still quite large, but the premise is that the thief army did not expect his sneak attack.

Along the way, Cao Wenyao also continued to send out Ye Bu to explore the road in front, and at the same time paid great attention to the situation on the high ground on the side of the road ahead, when he passed through several dangerous places, he was nervous to death, for fear that there would be an ambush of the thief army ambush where, but in the end he still passed through those places safely, and now that he has walked here, he is finally about to go out of the mountain, not only him, but almost all the officers and soldiers who follow him have also begun to relax a little.

On the hillside on the right, suddenly there were a few pheasant calls, and then there was the chirping of night owls, and they were used to the chirping of this night bird along the way, so no one paid much attention to this sound, at least there were the cries of these night birds, which showed that there would be no one on the mountain, otherwise there would not be a night bird so calling, and they would have been frightened and disappeared.

So Cao Wenyao continued to urge the horse to hurry, but after walking for a while, he suddenly grabbed the reins of the horse and asked one of the family members who followed him, "Did you hear a frog just now?" ”

The family was a little confused, and after a while, he suddenly nodded and said, "It seems that there is a frog crowing!" It's not very real! ”

"Retreat! The back team becomes the front team, retreat back! Come on! Cao Wenyao suddenly broke the silence of the team, and he couldn't care so much, he turned the horse's head while shouting, and his voice immediately tore through the entire night sky, so that all the soldiers and generals who followed him were taken aback, not that Cao Wenyao was alert, but that Liu Bao's subordinates made a common-sense mistake just now, it is now the end of October, the weather is already very cold, where may there be frogs moving outside! Therefore, a frog croaking attracted Cao Wenyao's attention, making Cao Wenyao realize that there was very likely to be an ambush of the thief army's auxiliaries here, so he immediately ordered to turn around and retreat.
