Chapter 4o8 General Cao is mighty

After giving the order, Xiao Zhiyun left quickly, and at this time, Wu Jue, Wu Liang, Gao Zhong and others also frowned and complained, in fact, everyone knew very well in their hearts that the black-robed man could run to the rear in broad daylight, and there must be an internal ghost in the army. But no one dared to mention this, because no one wanted to deliberately doubt their brother who was born and died.

The appearance of the black-robed man was like an episode, which made Hanguguan jump for a while, but it didn't have much impact, at least on the surface. At this time, Zhao Yougong, who was sitting in the living room, was deeply aware of how bad the chain reaction caused by this incident was, if these people under his hands did not trust each other, then this branch would definitely come to an end. He is still too young to withstand setbacks, and now he can only stick together tightly and not let anything cause internal instability. Xiao Zhiyun asked Niu Gao to investigate the traitor, Zhao Yougong would not stop it, and similarly, he would not watch this bad influence continue to exist.

Zhao Yougong thought about it for a while, and then found Dongfang Jin, who had arranged to surrender troops in the rear, and after a sneaky discussion between the two, Dongfang Jin left the hall. On the same night, there was a cave in the north of Hangu Pass, through which you could directly enter Hangu Pass from the northern mountain road, and you could easily avoid the defenses arranged in the pass. After this cave appeared, Dongfang Jin released the news, Dongfang Jin made the cave too real, and even a shrewd person like Wu Jue didn't see any flaws. With the cave, there is a reasonable explanation for the black-robed people to sneak into Hangu Pass, and since then, the crisis that has just arisen in the fixed system has also disappeared invisibly.

Jing Mountain. Located in the south of Hangu Pass and Tongguan Pass, Yu Lai led the troops day and night, and finally caught up with Yang Zaixing's men. The two of them joined forces, with more than 7,000 people left and right, and there were some more people, and Yang Zaixing was naturally happy. A day later, the two arrived at Baixi Village, south of Shaohua Mountain, via Jingshan. Baixi Village has long been deserted, and in the early years, Wanxingdong occupied Shaohua Mountain and continued to loot the surroundings. In addition, in recent years, there have been continuous disasters in Guanzhong, and the people in the village have fled to death. It gradually became a deserted village. At three o'clock, the sky was already so dark that I couldn't see my fingers, and it was strange, not only was the crescent moon gone tonight. Even the starlight is pitiful. But the people of Guanzhong will not be too happy to see such celestial phenomena, because this also indicates that tomorrow will be either rainy or windy.

On the second night of the first month of June, the southeast wind, at this time, it was dark on Shaohua Mountain, and the purple gas pavilion that was lively in the past also became silent. Today, He Zuolin, the commander of the Deshun army, Yuan Shiying, the commander of the Zhenrong army, and Cao Xuan, the commander of the Jingzhao Mansion, attacked the 24,000-strong army and arrived at the foot of Shaohua Mountain. Now there are less than 3,000 people guarding Shaohua Mountain, so Zheng Biao did not divide his troops to guard the Lingtai Mountain Trail. If the troops are sufficient, it is a good way to hold the Lingtai goat intestine path, but if the troops are insufficient. Zheng Biao will not go to Lingtai Mountain to fight hard with the officials and soldiers. Shaohua Mountain and Taihua Mountain have a vast area, the two mountains are not far apart, the ridges are connected, such a large area, only need to harass, the officials and soldiers want to leave the Shaohua Mountain line and go to Tongzhou. It's also wishful thinking. Zheng Biao seems to be reckless, but he is actually a ghost. Otherwise, it would be impossible for Niu Gao to hand over some important matters to him over the years. Now Zheng Biao thinks very simply, as long as the official army is delayed, His Royal Highness and General Niu will send people to support Shaohua Mountain soon.

He Zuolin, Yuan Shiying and others were ordered to take Shaohua Mountain as quickly as possible, and then coerce the Tongzhou capital, and the imperial court was in order, so a few people only let the soldiers rest for two hours, and then at the sub-hour, they attacked Shaohua Mountain at night. He Zuolin was born in the border army, and he was able to command a command, and he also relied on a knife and a gun to fight, so this person led the troops quite extraordinary. Along the way, He Zuolin's office was partially scattered, but they were in groups of three or two, so Zheng Biao's desire to sneak attack in secret also faded. He Zuolin had no way to take advantage of it, and Zheng Biao could only attack Cao Phenol's people. This Cao Pheno originally served in the southeast, and later became the commander of Jingzhao Mansion, but he was demoted by three levels due to the defeat in the last battle of Lingtai Mountain, so that Cao Phenol had the opportunity to be promoted to the commander of Jingzhao Mansion. Although Cao Pheno has been in the army for many years, the fact of fighting is pitiful, and now he is in charge of the middle road.

Long before, Zheng Biao had laid a lot of traps on Shaohua Mountain, secretly followed, and when Cao Phenol's men and horses walked to the trap position, they immediately activated the switch, only to hear a muffled snort, dozens of officers and soldiers huddled together fell into a big pit, and there were some sharp stones in the pit, and many soldiers were either poked to the point as soon as they fell, or they fell and broke a bone, and they screamed in pain in the pit. Of course, He Zuolin and Yuan Shiying's men and horses didn't get much benefit, although they were cautious along the way, they inevitably got into the road after all, poisonous arrows flying in the dark, wooden stakes hanging in the air, wooden awls, animal traps, in short, there were all kinds of traps, and what was even more annoying was that some people stepped into the soft dung pit. Although the casualties were not severe, the blow to morale was too great.

After marching all the way, after arriving at the Purple Qi Pavilion, He Zuolin saw that the building was empty, not to mention the weight of grain and grass, and even the bedding and straw were not left. Easily occupying the Purple Qi Pavilion, Cao Phenol was very happy and found a place to sleep, but He Zuolin and Yuan Shiying had worried looks on their faces. These thieves can decisively give up the Purple Qi Pavilion, which shows that they are also people who are familiar with military affairs. Others take the initiative to give up the cottage, and they will definitely not be for nothing.

Sure enough, after occupying the Purple Qi Pavilion, the officers and soldiers were like resting, but something happened during this break, and the wolves howled constantly in the middle of the night, and every wolf howl was accompanied by a burst of rockets, so that the officers and soldiers could only open their eyes to catch thieves and extinguish fires. It's a pity that after they ran out, those fake wolves had long since disappeared, only the fire reflected their red faces.

The officers and soldiers were busy fighting the fire, and after the fire was extinguished, He Zuolin made some arrangements, he increased the number of patrols and horses, and distributed sentinels. It should have been safe and sound, but only an hour later, the wolf howl sounded again in the Purple Qi Pavilion cottage, and the fire broke out again, and at the same time, there were dozens of corpses at the gate of the village. Looking at those corpses, Yuan Shiying almost fainted, isn't this the sentinel sent out, it's good now, all of them are dead.

And so on, tossing and turning until the time of the hour. A group of officers and soldiers yawned one by one, and their eyes were empty. Coming to Shaohua Mountain from Qinfeng Road was originally a rapid march, and he was not allowed to rest when he came here. Who can stand it? Mo said that he was a soldier, even Yuan Shiying was mentally deficient, but Cao Phenol, because he had slept a lot, his spirit was very strong, and he beckoned everyone to lead troops to attack Taihua Mountain as soon as it was dawn. Cao Phenol holds a machete in his hand and a rolled-up map in his left hand. I don't know if he can read the map, anyway, He Zuolin hasn't seen General Cao read the map.

"General Ho. Last night, the thieves tossed in every possible way, but they were afraid of us, and at dawn today, the thieves had nowhere to hide. It is a good opportunity to attack Taihua Mountain, and we must not miss it. ”

Listening to Cao Pheno's gushing words, He Zuolin first scolded a stupid word, and then arched his hands and said with a wry smile, "General Cao, you see that our people are sleepy and lacking in morale, can you go back to another day and attack Taihua Mountain tomorrow?" ”

He Zuolin said. General Cao was immediately dissatisfied, he straightened his chest and slammed the hilt of his chest against the breastplate. swayed, "Two generals, as officials of the imperial court, we must swear to serve the court to the death, share worries and solve problems for the officials, and be a dignified man." How can you be defeated by a little fatigue? ”

General Cao is righteous and awe-inspiring, and his majesty is not bad. Yuan Shiying and a group of generals under his command have already scolded the sky, what the hell, now they are speaking seriously, why don't you see you when you are guarding the city and extinguishing the fire at night. knew that the surname Cao had this virtue, so he directly let go of his defense and let those thieves burn Cao Phenol to ashes, so that he would not be so arrogant now. General Cao Da has moved out the official family and the righteousness of the imperial court, He Zuolin and Yuan Shiying can only grit their teeth and accept their fate, can't they say no? Wouldn't that be contempt for the court and for the holy? If this sin is confirmed, who can afford it?

In desperation, He Zuolin and Yuan Shiying led a group of tired soldiers to the ridge of Taihua Mountain reluctantly, Cao Phenol's men and horses were very energetic, after all, they came out of Jingzhao Mansion, which was similar to the Deshun Army and the Zhenrong Army, a hundred miles away from Shaohua Mountain, and they were all infantry, and they could only walk on two feet. On the third day of June, the sun was dusk and the southeast wind was strong. In the northwest plateau, strong winds are often mixed with yellow sand, and on Taihua Mountain, you can still feel the charming wind and sand. Against the strong wind, a group of officers and soldiers finally arrived at Taihua Mountain. But not long after gaining a foothold, something happened on the side of Shaohua Mountain. It turned out that Zheng Biao had never left Shaohua Mountain, and as soon as most of the officers and soldiers left, he immediately led people out of the West Peak, all the way into the Purple Qi Pavilion Dazhai, and killed hundreds of officers and soldiers there crying father and mother.

Hundreds of officers and soldiers who stayed behind in Shaohua Mountain scattered and fled, and some of them fled to Taihua Mountain, and as soon as they told Shaohua Mountain, General Cao was immediately angry, and the ghost head knife skirt was also much stronger than the military commanders of these two small places. The official level crushes people to death, and it is difficult to be disobedient.

General Cao Da's foot strength is good, which was also practiced on the southeast coast. Returned to Shaohua Mountain, did not stop for a moment, looking for Zheng Biao's department all over the mountains, but after looking for a while, someone came to report that there was just a small department of hundreds of people who followed at the end because they were too tired, and they were copied by Zheng Biao. Hearing the news, General Cao was angry, jumped to his feet and scolded, "Shameless thief, you have the ability to fight with Cao for 300 rounds, hide your head and show your tail, what kind of hero is he?" ”

Listening to General Cao's words, He Zuolin sat on the ground and rolled his eyes, isn't this nonsense of scolding? The people themselves are born as bandits, and what they do is shameless things, besides, I haven't seen a bandit come to the official army head-on, that's not a hero, that's a stupid man.

"Bai Luan, a thousand people from your command department rushed to the place where the accident occurred, check for the general, you must find the traces of these thieves, Cao Mou doesn't believe it, can these birdmen still grow wings and fly to the sky?" General Cao didn't notice the problem in his words, if it was a birdman, was it normal to have wings, and what kind of birdman was it if there were no wings?

General Cao tossed back and forth a few times, and he was tired enough, sticking out his big tongue on the stone and panting, which also gave He Zuolin and others a chance to breathe. Taking advantage of the opportunity that Cao Phenol didn't pay attention to, He Zuolin blocked the strong wind and whispered to Yuan Shiying, "Brother Yuan, you have to think of a way, if you are tossed by the surname Cao, let alone go to Tongzhou, it is estimated that this leg will not run, and we will not be able to run Shaohua Mountain and Taihua Mountain!" ”

What He Zuolin said is the truth, it is clear that Zheng Biaozi is playing procrastination, but General Cao has not yet realized it. Yuan Shiying thought for a while and whispered, "Don't care about anything today, rest at night, and as soon as it dawns tomorrow, we will gather all the men and horses to cross Taihua Mountain to attack Chaoyi City." ”

"It's okay, it's just surnamed Cao?"

"Don't pay attention to him, if he wants to conquer Chaoyi City, the surname Cao also has to obediently follow us to fight Tongzhou, unless he doesn't want this credit!"

He Zuolin and Yuan Shiying discussed, but General Cao didn't pay attention to what happened here, and was still thinking about how to capture Zheng Biaozi alive. (To be continued)
