Chapter 62: The Return

The gunpowder army did not choose to spend the night, but after hastily cleaning up the battlefield, they prepared to return to Xudu, at this time everyone in the team was very excited, 1,000 people wiped out 10,000 horses of the other party, and also captured a large number of baggage, it was an unimaginable victory. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

For Yuan Yun's decision to deal with 10,000 people with 1,000 people, everyone now admires it very much, if it weren't for being very familiar with the surrounding terrain and understanding the distribution of waterways, it would be impossible to do this step.

Who would have thought that Zhang Jaw would camp by the river, and no one would have thought that Yuan Yun could accurately calculate the distance and speed of the water flow.

Now the gunpowder soldiers and soldiers have great admiration for Yuan Yun, and the legendary mastermind is nothing more than that, not to mention listening to Shi Shen and Xiaoliu, this sixteen-year-old marquis is still here for the first time, and his grasp of the terrain is simply the ability of immortals.

All the way back, Shi Shen and Xiao Liu unconsciously raised their chins high, it was rare for them to follow Yuan Yun in such a beautiful way.

The two of them were very proud in their hearts, in the past, they either saw their Hou Ye being carried around like chickens, or they saw Hou Ye being slapped on the back of the head in various ways, but now it is really beautiful, and I don't know how long it can be maintained, so I can enjoy it for a while.

Li He was more serious, and soon rode his horse to Yuan Yun's side, and then asked respectfully: "Lord, didn't we come out this time to track down the group of people who attacked Liu Yiyi?" Why did we return after destroying Yuan Shao's army? ”

Yuan Yun glanced at Li He, and sighed secretly in his heart, it is no wonder that his serious character is not well received in the army, his ability is so great, and he has been in the army for several years, but he is still only a military candidate, and his subordinates can only lead five hundred people at most.

Shaking his head, Yuan Yuncai said: "I just asked Zhang Jaw about the whereabouts of that group of people, he hesitated for a moment before saying that he didn't know, this moment of hesitation is naturally a measurement, whether he should sell his own people in exchange for life, thinking so, he must know the whereabouts of that group of people, and it is a place that cannot be said." ”

Li He was still at a loss when he heard this, and he didn't know what Yuan Yun was talking about?

Yuan Yun sighed again, this Li He, fortunately, he followed himself, if he followed others, it is estimated that the end will still be not up or down, at most he will be a better thug.

However, this kind of talent is what you need, you can do what you use your brain, and the hands-on thing is naturally handed over to a general like Li He, a win-win situation, oh yes.

Smiling slightly, Yuan Yun patiently explained: "This group of people went to a place that can't be said, then it can only be Xudu, Zhang Jaw hesitated because he was afraid that we would track down these people when we returned to Xudu, so he chose to lie, since we all know the place, can this group of people still run away?" ”

Li He finally understood, so he arched his hand and said: "I, Li He, am the right person, the lord is extremely smart, and he is also very patient with our subordinates, I have advised the lord several times today, and I haven't seen you lose your temper, which I didn't even dare to think about in the past." ”

Yuan Yun was stunned for a moment, and said suspiciously: "Is it intentional that you are colliding with Ben Hou like this today?" ”

Li He laughed dryly twice, which can be regarded as giving Yuan Yun a positive answer.

Yuan Yun smiled bitterly and shook his head, it seems that there is really no honest person around him, even Li He will use his brain, is his own intelligence contagious?

Thinking of this, I sighed again, if it was really contagious, Shi Shen wouldn't be so stupid, damn.

"Give you three hundred soldiers, led by you Li He, as long as you chase after Xudu in a straight line, maybe you can catch up with those people halfway, I don't believe that people's feet can be faster than horses' legs." Yuan Yun gave the order, Li He immediately clenched his fists and promised, and went to the rear army to find someone in an instant.

At this time, Shi Shen smiled and rode his horse to Yuan Yun's side, and before he had time to shoot, he heard Yuan Yun shake his hand unhappily and said: "Shi Shen, you also go, if that group of people runs away, Lao Tzu will beat you on the board!" ”

Shi Shen was stunned, and suddenly the whole person was not good, when he blew up the waterway, he was busy beckoning those gunpowder army arrangements, and then when he went into battle to kill the enemy, he personally commanded the steel crossbow team, and now he even had to chase the thief, he knew that he would not come to shoot the little lord's fart, but he was shot on the horse's hooves, and he was unlucky.

In desperation, Shi Shen could only leave in a huff.

Yuan Yun didn't bother to care about whether Shi Shen was really angry, this product is getting lazier and lazier now, since he handed over the business of buying and selling military merit to this goods, he didn't know how much money he made, and the proportion of Sanqi was a lot of money when he got to Yuan Yun, so it can also be guessed that Shi Shen's thirty percent is definitely a lot, and the rich businessmen in Xu Du seem to be really rich, and they really need military merit to mix up an official and a half-job, so as to get rid of their lowly status.

After Yuan Yun thought about this, he saw Shi Shen turn back again, which suddenly made him a little angry, it's okay to mess around usually, but it's a bit too much to say if you don't obey orders.

Shi Shen quickly returned to Yuan Yun's side again, and immediately bowed his hand and said, "Cao Sikong sent a messenger. ”

Yuan Yun was stunned and puzzled: "It's coming so soon?" I thought it would be at least until we got back to the city? ”

As soon as he had finished speaking, he saw a messenger with three flags behind him riding a horse, who seemed to have traveled some distance, and his face was full of dust.

When the messenger saw Yuan Yun, he immediately dismounted and saluted, and then said, "Yuan Hou, Cao Sikong's letter has arrived. ”

Yuan Yun took the letter and was about to open it, but the messenger seemed to hesitate, but still said: "Cao Sikong also brought a sentence, which must be conveyed in person." ”

Yuan Yun put down the letter in his hand and said, "Although the Tao comes." ”

The messenger was still a little hesitant, gritted his teeth, and then said: "Little bastard, Lao Tzu's big game of chess has been brought disaster by you." ”

Yuan Yun was stunned for a moment, and he understood in an instant, it seemed that it was not that Cao Cao did not arm, or that he had missed Zhang He's army of 10,000 people, but that he was playing some ghost idea, but he was unintentionally broken by himself, and then completely disrupted the deployment.

You shouldn't be held accountable, right? Yuan Yun muttered in a low voice, and then opened the letter, it doesn't matter if you look at it, it turns out that Cao Cao's chessboard has already put Hanoi County in.

Zhang He led the army to attack Xudu, and Cao Cao sent Cao Ren and Shi Jian to lead an army to prepare to block Zhang He, and then returned to Hanoi in disguise to attack Zhang He's army.

In this way, he could take Hanoi in one go, and build a strong bridgehead in Yuan Shao's territory north of the Yellow River to contain Yuan Shao, and even make Yuan Shao mistakenly think that he Cao Cao was preparing to attack from Hanoi.

Now the problem is that the army led by Cao Ren and Shi Lian has not yet come into contact with Zhang He's men and horses, and they have already been given a pot by themselves, so that they have to change their tactics and immediately lead the army to attack Hanoi, lest after Zhang He returns, Hanoi County will take precautions.

Finally, at the end of the letter, Cao Cao wrote earnestly that the 1,000 gunpowder army was fortunate to encounter Zhang He's infantry, and if it was Yuan Shao's cavalry team, let alone 10,000 horses, even if it was only 5,000, Yuan Yun could be killed in one breath on this plain, and it was useless to have firearms.

And if it weren't for Zhang He's halberds who were not worthy of shields and crossbow arrows, how could they give Yuan Yun such an easy take? So this time it can only be said that Yuan Yun is really lucky to get home.

It must be Guo Jia who can think of this, but he just scolded himself through Cao Cao's letter, but these old bastards didn't think that Lao Tzu launched a water attack because he knew that Zhang He had no shield or crossbow, and then hit him head-on.

10,000 well-equipped halberd soldiers, even if Cao Ren has enough soldiers and horses, it is impossible to defeat them as quickly as himself, Lao Tzu is not equivalent to saving you time.

Thinking of this, Yuan Yun suddenly became a little angry.

"Isn't that a good thing? I did all the hardest work for you, and I even came to scold me,...... Uh, Cao Sikong is really clever, Ben Hou admires it. Yuan Yun almost scolded 'fuck', but when he thought that insulting Cao Cao's mother would definitely end well, he immediately stopped his mouth, turned his smile and began to greet the messenger.

The messenger was also taken aback by Yuan Yun, thinking that Yuan Yun, the marquis, was going to insult Cao Sikong's old lady, who knew that he suddenly changed his tone, and then his face was not red and his heart was not beating and began to pull up something else, the person who changed his face so quickly was also what he had seen in his life, and he couldn't help but admire it secretly in his heart, no wonder Yuan Yun could be made a marquis at the age of sixteen.

Yuan Yun finished greeting the messenger, and found that Shi Shen was still by his side in an instant, so he kicked him very angrily, it was not good to send him out at this time, so he could only let it go, after all, Li He had already set off with a hundred people, and he acted very quickly.

Shi Shen saw that Yuan Yun had already dispelled the hard work of sending himself out, and immediately said with a smile: "Lord, although Zhang He's army has been dispersed, there must be many remnants nearby, this barren mountain is not safe, without my Shi Shen guarding you, it is always unsafe, we must be closer, and we must not go beyond the range of ten steps." ”

Yuan Yun twitched his cheeks and replied angrily: "Very good, then you will give Lao Tzu a distance of ten steps, one more step to the board, and one less step to the board." ”

As soon as Shi Shen finished teaching the lesson, suddenly another messenger came quickly, and when he arrived, he immediately dismounted and said: "Cao Sikong ordered Yuan Hou to quickly lead the gunpowder army back to Xudu, and there should be no delay along the way, and fifty military sticks will be waiting before three o'clock in the afternoon tomorrow." ”

Fortunately, he sent Li He out to intercept Yuan Xi's group of scouts first, otherwise he would never be able to mobilize a single soldier at this moment, these messengers must have Cao Cao's special order, as long as he mobilizes troops and horses at this time, these two messengers will immediately be able to seize their military power.

Luckily, if it was later, it is estimated that Yuan Xi's scouts would have escaped, and if he went back empty-handed like this, Liu Yiyi's goblin would definitely laugh at the marquis for the rest of his life.

Yuan Yun sighed secretly, it is estimated that he will be criticized again when he goes back this time, Cao Cao's previous letter is to deliberately suppress himself, and then send a messenger to force himself, and when he rushes back, it must be a big stick to serve, and then it will be a carrot, and all the purpose must be to get benefits from himself.

Damn it!

Being Cao Cao's son-in-law is definitely a loss-making business, and it's not right, marrying Cai Wenji and Cao Qinghe is definitely a lucrative deal, no, it's not right, it's still a loss to Cao Cao, the old bastard, you can't think so, how can you measure your daughter-in-law as a cargo?

Stop! Stop!

Yuan Yun finished struggling in his heart, sighed, and soon gave an order, and the whole army hurried overnight and went straight to Xudu.

Soon, a long procession of torches stretched out on the plain, like a fiery serpent, all the way to the south, and it was a spectacular sight in the dark night.
