Caoyang County.

This county is the closest county to Cao Cao's forces except for Mianchi.

The Yellow River in the north, the Xiongfeng in the south, the east and west are transparent, if you want to enter Chang'an along the Yellow River, then this place must be a place for soldiers to fight, of course, you can also bypass the southern mountains to attack Chang'an, but the south of the mountain, extremely empty, no people, it is difficult to rest and replenish, so the line from Mianchi County to Caoyang County is still the primary choice for Cao Cao to send troops to attack.

Now Mo Shuyan has just come to Caoyang County with his subordinates, and when he looks up, almost all of them are ordinary people who have fled out of the county, and most of them have chosen to flee to the west, and no one wants to become a victim of the war.

Basically, few people entered the county, so Mo Shuyan's large group of people was quite eye-catching, and they entered against the current, which instantly attracted the attention of the soldiers guarding the county.

Mo Shuyan, who was in a hurry to hurry, didn't know what was happening, but he also had some bottom in his heart, looking at the several soldiers guarding the county who came over, Mo Shuyan took the lead in leading the horse and walked over, and asked softly: "But what happened, why did the people flee on a large scale?" ”

The soldier who had just arrived in front of Mo Shuyan was suddenly slightly stunned, this is good, and he wanted to come over to check his identity, but he was asked first, one of the soldiers with a violent personality just wanted to question Mo Shuyan, and another soldier next to him took the first step and asked, "Who is Your Excellency?" Please also show your identity first, and then it's not too late to answer. ”

"I'm not thinking it through."

Mo Shuyan reacted, realizing that he was a little preconceived, and he didn't have the corresponding identity, so he asked these things, it was a bit too much, and took out the gold medal given by Xu Zisheng from his arms, and Mo Shuyan handed the gold medal to the soldier who asked him.

After taking the token and looking at it for a week, he saw the gilded seal engraved in the center of the token, and the soldier who asked the question quickly knelt down on one knee, respectfully raised the token above his head with both hands, and said in a trembling voice: "My lord is here, I am waiting for a long time, and I hope that my lord will forgive my sins." ”

After the other two soldiers saw the token, they were also so frightened that they quickly knelt down, this gold medal was a thousand instructions, seeing the card was like seeing Xu Zisheng, and also explained that the person who owned the gold medal was only within two hands, and everyone was a big man or Xu Zisheng's cronies.

Originally, they thought that a person of this level would not appear in Caoyang County, so they didn't care too much, but now they happened to hit the muzzle of the gun, but they couldn't recognize it, how could they not be afraid.

Fortunately, Mo Shuyan didn't plan to worry about this, and took the gold medal back into his arms, Mo Shuyan continued: "Get up, you should tell me what happened." ”

"Yes, yes, my lord wants to know, how dare we hide it."

The leading soldier stood up with two brothers and said with a solemn expression: "Cao Cao has sent a large army to the west, although Caoyang County is not as dangerous as Mianchi, the people in the city do not dare to stay here for long, most of them have packed up and are already or preparing to flee. ”

"Sure enough, the matter of Yongning still caused a lot of trouble, and it seems that the border is not peaceful anymore."

Mo Shuyan's eyebrows condensed slightly, and he couldn't make up his mind, he didn't know whether he should return to Chang'an, stay in Caoyang, or go further, go to Mianchi, and wait for the arrival of the army sent by Xu Zisheng, so as to stabilize the front line first.

In his hesitation, Mo Shuyan suddenly heard a very important thing, and asked in a deep voice, "Which commander brought the army?" ”

"The news that came said that Zhao Zilong led the troops."

"Zhao Zilong?"

Mo Shuyan's eyes froze, and he had some complicated feelings in his heart, thinking of Zhao Yun, he couldn't help but think of Cai Yan, to Zhao Yun, Mo Shuyan was still a little selfish to be honest, and he didn't want Zhao Yun to be damaged on the battlefield, which would make Cai Yan too sad, but if the commander was not him, he wouldn't be able to do these things.

Thinking of this, Mo Shuyan waved his hand quite calmly and said, "You guys retreat first, don't worry about us." ”

"No."

As if they had been granted amnesty, the three soldiers hurried away, not daring to stay at all.

The people beside him seemed to see that Mo Shuyan's status was not low, for fear of provoking Mo Shuyan's unhappiness, and when they arrived next to Mo Shuyan, they leaned out one after another, trying to avoid any contact with Mo Shuyan.

Seeing that Mo Shuyan bowed his head and was silent, all the members of the three teams chose to wait silently, and did not disturb Mo Shuyan's contemplation, and there was no snow at this time, which had no effect.

didn't let his subordinates wait too long, Mo Shuyan quickly came back to his senses, and said with a firm gaze: "We won't enter Caoyang County." ”

"Don't enter the county, does Mr. want to rush back to Chang'an to discuss countermeasures with the lord?" Zhang Ji asked subconsciously.

"Definitely."

Mo Shuyan shook his head and said in a condensed voice: "This trip, return to Michi, and preside over the overall situation." ”

"Never."

Fan Chou stood up directly, and persuaded with a heavy face: "Michi is now on the front line, and our army has not arrived, if something goes wrong."

"Needless to say, carry out the order, of course, if you don't want to go with me, you can return to Chang'an on your own, and you will not be held accountable."

Mo Shuyan interrupted Fan Chou's words, and did not give the slightest chance to refute at all, the order is here, you can leave or stay, and he will never force it.

After speaking, Mo Shuyan did not intend to stay here to put pressure on everyone, but chose to lead the horse and turn away, leaving only a series of shallow footprints on the snow.

The members of the squad did not communicate, and most of their stay or stay depended on the fate of their captain, and each squad was a whole, sharing weal and woe with each other, and being consistent with the outside world.

So, this decision was handed over to Zhang Ji, Fan Chou and Hu Zhen.

The three of them circled, and Hu Zhen took the lead in asking, "What do you two think about this?" ”

"I think the gentleman either has his ideas or is crazy." Zhang Ji shrugged his shoulders and said.

"Then if the gentleman is crazy, how do you choose? Go with you, or return to Chang'an. Fan Chou smiled playfully.

"Isn't that nonsense?"

Zhang Ji glanced at Fan Chou, clasped his hands on his shoulders, and said with an indifferent look: "Since Mr. is crazy, as a subordinate, of course he will go crazy with him." ”

Hearing this, Fan Chou smiled and did not comment, but turned to Hu Zhen and asked, "What are your thoughts?" ”

"Just like you, Fan Chou." Hu Zhen grinned, seeing Fan Chou's intentions.

"So what are you waiting for? The gentleman is gone. ”

Fan Chou complained, took the first step, and chased after Mo Shuyan with the team members, shouting as he ran: "Sir, wait, if you want to be crazy, you have to take us with you." ”

Seeing this, Zhang Ji and Fan Chou looked at each other and smiled, and also followed with the team members.
