Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Expedition

Separation can never make Yuan Yun get used to it, so the time to say goodbye to his family is short, and Cao Qinghe and Zhen Mi did not feel how ruthless their husbands were because Yuan Yun said to leave, they both knew very well, so it seemed that the other party was reluctant.

After he left, Cao Qinghe and Zhen Mi will also begin to prepare for the return to Luoyang, Diao Chan even sent a warship to pick her up for this, which is enough to prove that she knows the importance of her family to Yuan Yun.

Looking at the lush greenery outside Yecheng, Yuan Yun pinched the horse's belly, and soon caught up with Zhang Liao in the front team, the gunpowder army had been inspected by Cao Cao three days ago, and then began to head towards Wuzhong County, Beiping County.

Zhang Liao saw Yuan Yun coming, and immediately bowed his hand and said: "Although Ma Jun didn't come this time, the iron old man sent by him is a good hand, and he is not inferior to young people at this age, and our tanks are now maintained by him, and with a new truck, it is a lot easier to transport." ”

Yuan Yun snorted, and then looked at the rear of the left flank of the army, where the baggage camp was located, and several huge objects as high as small mountains were moving slowly, not much worse than the speed of the march.

"When we get to the boundary of Youbeiping County, we have to start being careful, there are a lot of trees there, and it is easy to cut them down and assemble tanks, so we will wait until these tank fortresses are built before moving on." After Yuan Yun finished speaking, he looked at the position of the left wing again.

Zhang Liao said with some confusion when he heard this: "The outpost of our army has entered Youbeiping County, no matter how bold the Karasuma people are, they don't dare to break in like this, right?" ”

Yuan Yun shook his head and said, "What I want to guard against is not Karasuma's cavalry, but my own people, Cao Ren set off so many days earlier than us, to say that he has no plans, I will definitely not believe it." ”

Zhang Liao couldn't help frowning, and said, "This really needs to be guarded against, but is Cao Ren's courage really so big that he dares to knife his own people." ”

Yuan Yun smiled and said: "If it were me, I would definitely be under the knife, Cao Ren was almost forced into a desperate situation by us, before he wanted to acquire the land in the north, this is the last glimmer of hope, our Luoyang has cut off all the business routes of Cao Ren's family, and Chang'an is also occupied by Cao Ang's son, Duan Xuan is ambushed, Cao Ren has no industry in his hands at all, and now he can only rely on some output in Hanoi, but this is far from satisfying him, he wants to push Cao Pi to the throne, even if there is a huge gold mine in Hanoi, Still unable to meet the demand, if the money is not active, it is equivalent to a dead thing, and that gold is like this, so Cao Ren will start the idea of land in the four northern states, but he doesn't want to destroy it for us, so he can only make a desperate bet. ”

"What Yuan Hou said is that Cao Ren is indeed a little embarrassed now, this time he left Yecheng ahead of schedule and rushed to the north, probably trying to find a way to solve the problem at once." Guo Jia's voice arrived, and his horse had already reached Yuan Yun's side.

Yuan Yun just said a bunch of long words, the last few sentences were for Guo Jia, and after listening to the other party's words at this moment, he immediately continued: "It's just that I can't think of what means Cao Ren wants to use to solve me, after all, although the gunpowder army has only five thousand soldiers, but if he wants to annihilate us, he will have to mobilize twenty or thirty thousand people, how can he hide from others with such a large-scale mobilization of troops?" ”

Guo Jia shook his head and said, "I can't think about this clearly, but it is inevitable that Cao Ren will take action, and it is also very necessary for Yuan Hou to take precautions in advance after entering Youbeiping County." ”

Speaking of this, Guo Jia paused slightly, and then pointed to the baggage battalion on the left flank and continued: "If I were Cao Ren, I would definitely choose to attack the baggage battalion first, where a large number of gunpowder shells and gasoline are stored, once ignited, it will instantly make the gunpowder army lose its combat effectiveness, and the baggage battalion has always been the top priority of the gunpowder army's protection, so it is easy and difficult to approach, but if you put one or two fine works into it, maybe it will be successful, Yuan Hou can be sure about the officers and soldiers of the logistics battalion?" ”

Yuan Yun nodded again, and then also glanced at the position of the left flank, and then said: "Mr. Xu You has now gone to the baggage camp, and he is fully responsible for it, he is an old fox, what he does every day now is to see if there is any meticulous work, after all, many of the gunpowder troops I brought this time are new recruits, and some inappropriate ones are difficult to prevent." ”

After Guo Jia heard Xu You's name, he seemed to be immediately relieved, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and then said with a smile: "Since Mr. Ziyuan is in the baggage camp, he should be worry-free, and when it comes to treacherous and cunning, Guo Jia is ashamed of himself." ”

Yuan Yun smiled, and agreed with Guo Jia's opinion very much, after all, Xu Yu is now old and strong, and he used to fight with people on Yuan Shao's side, and later joined the shogunate of Cao Ang in Luoyang, and began to deal with those big clans in the north, it can be said that he is very good at all kinds of conspiracies, and it is naturally very appropriate to hand over the baggage camp to him at this moment.

Zhang Liao listened to Yuan Yun and Guo Jia talking about Xu Yu all the time, but although they were admiring, the words they used were very mean, and the words treacherous and cunning were not so useful, so Zhang Liao chose to shut up, he was never good at talking about others behind his back.

The three of them walked out of the three miles, and they had been studying the marching arrangements for the Hou Mai Nian, and Yuan Yun was a layman in this regard, and his only use was to provide detailed topographical information.

After almost all the roads leading to the end were crossed, a scout suddenly came to the shooting star, and when he got close, he immediately turned over and dismounted and said, "Marshal Qiqi, we have picked up the little general in front." ”

Yuan Yun was immediately overjoyed when he heard this, and originally received a letter from Dianman, saying that he had begun to rush to Yecheng, but he didn't expect it to be so fast, and the gunpowder army had only been leaving Yecheng for three days, and they really ran into him.

After a few incense sticks, Yuan Yun finally saw a few horses galloping in front of the army, and the dust raised was not a lot, which was enough to prove that the riding skills of the people who came were very superb, so he couldn't think about Dian Man, after all, the impact of Dian Man back then was reckless, and the same was true for horseback riding, so it was torture to let him ride so carefully.

waited until the housekeeper filled his dark face, and Yuan Yun finally felt at ease, but before the two of them looked at each other, Yuan Yun's face immediately began to twitch, because Dian Man had shaved his hair at the moment, and a black head was really a little reflective in the sun.

"If you dare to laugh out loud, I'll fight with you now." Dian Man's face was full of joy, but when he saw Yuan Yun holding back a smile, he immediately frowned his thick eyebrows.

Yuan Yun snorted twice, then suppressed his smile, and then jumped off the horse, and then stretched out his arms, looking like he was greeting his relatives.

Dian Man smiled bitterly, but soon a trace of nostalgia flashed on his face, and he rolled off the horse's back in one step, and then he hugged Yuan Yun greatly, and the two brothers laughed at this time.

"Do you have any alcohol?" Dian Man suddenly asked, and immediately added: "I want the spirits of the Yuan family." ”

Yuan Yun smiled, reached directly into his arms, and then took out a marching wine jug, this thing has never been used to fill water since Cao Ang was equipped with the first one, and it was basically filled with spirits.

When Dian Man saw the military kettle in Yuan Yun's hand, he was immediately overjoyed, twisted the lid and poured it hard, only then did he seem to remember something, so he walked towards a few people behind him, and soon saw him return with a person, this person was about thirty or forty years old, and he was drunk at the moment, and even hiccuped after seeing Yuan Yun.

Dian Man frowned, and said: "This is the Tian Chou you asked me to bring, but it is inconvenient to speak now, he was drinking on horseback all the way over just now, and the drinks of several of us were almost drunk by him." ”

The corners of Yuan Yun's mouth were a little crooked, he didn't expect Tian Chou to be a drunkard, this was really different from his fantasy, and at first he felt that the other party should be a fairy wind bone, like a general figure of a military division, but he never thought that he was an ordinary drunkard.

Dian Man also saw Yuan Yun's surprise, so he shouted at the two guard-looking people, and the two immediately carried Tian Chou to the back.

Seeing that Tian Chou had been carried away by his subordinates, Dianman frowned and said, "I came all the way from the Karasuma realm, but I heard bad news. ”

Yuan Yun was stunned for a moment and asked, "What bad news, you can tell me about it, it won't be about me, right?" ”

Dianman hummed and replied affirmatively: "It's really related to you." ”

At this time, Yuan Yun was very stunned, how could there be someone who knew him on Karasuma's side, and it was very strange to have a relationship with him, could it be that his prestige had spread far and wide?

Dian Man ignored Yuan Yun's smug look, but continued: "There are 20,000 cavalry from Xianbei's side, and they have received an edict from the imperial court and are willing to send troops to fight against the Karasuma tribe. ”

"Wait, aren't Xianbei and Karasuma the same ancestor? Why are they so willing to help us? Yuan Yun didn't wait for Dian Man to finish speaking, so he asked.

Dianman shook his head and said: "Karasuma and Xianbei don't know how many times they have fought, they have to fight several times a year in order to compete for the fattest pasture, this time the imperial court sent troops to crusade against Karasuma, of course Xianbei is willing to help."

It's just that the news I received is a little weird, it was Cao Ren who contacted Xianbei before, and at this moment, after these Xianbei knights came into contact with Cao Ren, they immediately left Cao Ren's camp set up in the end, and 10,000 people seemed to be coming for the gunpowder army, so I think this matter may have something to do with you, and you better take precautions earlier. ”

Yuan Yun was stunned, laughed instantly, and then said: "I was still guessing how Cao Ren was going to deal with me, but now I have figured it out, he must have arranged a detailed work in the baggage camp, before his own gunpowder bomb was accidentally exploded, and now he wants to up, once the gunpowder army's baggage battalion is blown up, the 10,000 Xianbei cavalry may really succeed, when Cao Ren just needs to say, our gunpowder army was attacked by the Karasuma cavalry who went deep into the territory, and no one will doubt it." ”

Dian was taken aback and said, "In this case, have you ever caught the fine work of the baggage camp?" ”

Yuan Yun glanced at the sky, smiled mysteriously, and said, "Yesterday, Mr. Xu You said that there will be results today, and it seems that we will know after camping in a while." ”
