Cao Wen's lieutenant asked Cao Wen and said, "General, how can we attack?" ”

Cao Wen said: "Of course, it was bombarded with artillery first. ”

His lieutenant nodded.

Cao Wen said again: "You send a spy to investigate closely, I think, although we came quietly, but in this flat place, it is impossible not to be discovered by the Tatar slave army." In the past, when we were discovered, the Tatar army poured out of the camp. That's why I think it's weird. Let's find out first! ”

His lieutenant nodded, answered and went to shoot the spies.

Cao Wen was still sitting on his horse and watching, but there was still no movement in the Tatar slave barracks. Soldiers could be seen walking around in the distance.

After a cup of tea, the spy returned. Immediately reported to Cao Wenyu and said: "General, the little one found that there don't seem to be many sergeants in this barracks, unless they are all in tents. ”

Cao Wen asked, "What about the war horse?" ”

The spy replied, "Back to the general, there are not many war horses!" ”

After listening to the spies' report, Cao Wen frowned, pondered for a moment and said, "What tricks is the Tatar slave army doing?" Is this an empty camp? ”

His adjutant said, "General, I thought it was impossible. With such a large camp, I think it can accommodate at least 30,000 people. How could it be an empty camp? ”

Cao Wen first asked the spy to continue to investigate, and then said: "That is, the Tatar slave army in this barracks is hiding somewhere else, so that they can sneak attack us." ”

Hearing this, his adjutant hurriedly raised his eyes to see where there was an ambush. But seeing that there is flat ground all around, it seems that there are so many enemies that cannot be hidden.

Cao Wen also looked at it, but he didn't find anything abnormal.

"General, I don't think there are too many troops ambushed around here! It's all dwarf, and there's nowhere to hide! Too many adjutants said.

Cao Wen nodded and said, "You're right, this is weird." If there is an army in this barracks, what about the people? ”

His lieutenant thought for a moment and said, "General, could it be that he was temporarily transferred?" ”

Cao Wen thought for a while, nodded and said, "In this way, it is still very possible. ”

His lieutenant asked, "General, what are we going to do?" ”

Cao Wen looked around again, looking at the dazzling sun in the sky, and said in a deep voice: "We can't attack an empty military camp, that is meaningless. I think we'll wait here until the Tatar army comes back and is attacking. ”

His lieutenant naturally listened to him, nodded his head, and said, "Okay general, I'll go and announce that I will rest and wait on the spot." ”

Cao Wen said: "Okay, you go!" With that, his eyes turned to the empty-looking Tatar camp. His eyes were glued to the tents, looking for any soldiers to come or go. It was noon, and even if the Tatar soldiers were sleeping in their tents, it was time to eat.

However, after half an hour, not a single Tatar soldier was seen coming out of the tent. This shows that this barracks is an empty barracks.

Cao Wen asked the adjutant general to order the soldiers to eat some dry food on the spot.

After a while, the spies returned.

Cao Wen asked, "How is it, is there any new discovery?" ”

The spy said, "General Hui, the little one found that this Tatar military camp is an empty camp. There were no large numbers of soldiers, except for a few soldiers who were housekeepers. ”

The spies' statement was the same as Cao Wen's judgment, and Cao Wen was able to relax and wait. And told the spies: "Go ahead and keep an eye on me, and report it as soon as the Tatar army returns." Do you understand? ”

The spy arched his hand and said, "The villain understands. ”

Cao Wen nodded and said, "Okay, you can go quickly!" ”

And the spy went. Cao Wen also got off the horse and found a shady place to wait, and ate some dry food by the way. Waiting for the Tatar army to return to the camp.

Cao Wen asked his lieutenant general, "Guess where the Tatar soldiers in this barracks will go, and can they come back today?" ”

His adjutant said: "Where have the Tatar soldiers in this barracks gone, this admiral does not know, but the admiral knows that the Tatar soldiers in this barracks will definitely be able to return today." This barracks is regarded as a relatively important place for the Tatar army to defend the north and south, and it is impossible for a long time to go without an army, so wouldn't we easily occupy this place? Then the Tatar line of defense was about to take another step back. ”

After listening to the lieutenant general's words, Cao Wen nodded and said, "Well, what you said makes a lot of sense!" But I decided that before sunset, whether or not the Tatar army in this barracks could return, General Ben would order the occupation of this empty barracks. Although it is not very significant, it can be regarded as a small victory. ”

His lieutenant said, "The general is wise, and this is very good." It's just that the significance of capturing this military camp is really not very great. There will be no blow or change to the overall defense of the Tatar army. For the Tatars, it was just a slight retreat in the defensive line at this point. ”

Cao Wen nodded and said, "That's why General Ben didn't go and occupy this military camp now." At least leave this barracks, and the Tatar army that walked away will come back. If this place is occupied, the Tatar army will never return. And this barracks is not at all useful to us. ”

His lieutenant said: "What the general said is extremely true, the strategy of the imperial court is to hold Pingliang Prefecture and Anzhou City, it is impossible to arrange tens of thousands of people here, it is meaningless." ”

Cao Wen nodded and said, "Then let's wait!" ”

His lieutenant said, "General, it is better to attack after it gets dark, so that the remaining guards in the barracks will escape, and then we will take the barracks without much effort." ”

Cao Wen nodded and said, "Okay, just follow what you said, wait until it gets dark before attacking." ”

The two of them agreed on a plan, and they both lay down on the grass and rested. The other sergeants also sat down to rest, and they could not lie down, because this was the time of war, and they had to be vigilant at all times, and they could cross their horses at the first order.

However, Cao Wen, who is a general, is more casual.

Waiting is one of the most frustrating things, and you always feel that time is passing too slowly. Cao Wen feels this way now. The soldiers, on the other hand, did not want to fight, because fighting a war is a matter that can cost lives.

Cao Wen had enough to lie down, so he stood up and walked a few steps, and then looked up at the sun that had already set westward, hating that time was passing slowly. I couldn't help but shake my head, and walked up with my hands behind my back, moving my muscles and bones. The return of the financial empire
