Chapter 1404: Hurry in a Different Direction

Cao Shuo led the team all the way to Yecheng.

As he was walking, a fast horse came rushing towards him.

When he saw the fast horse, the guard beside him immediately opened his longbow.

Cao Shuo made a gesture and motioned for the guard to put the bow down.

Deng Zhan then stepped forward and galloped towards the fast horse.

Stopping the team, Cao Shuo looked at Deng Zhan and the knight and said a few words.

A moment later, Deng Zhan led the knight towards him.

The two got closer and closer, and Cao Shuo recognized that it was a guard who had followed Xun Chen to Nanpi.

In front of Cao Shuo, the guard dismounted and saluted: "Childe, Xun Gong asked me to come to remind me that there may be an ambush on the road, so you must be more careful." ”

"How did Xun Gong know that there would be an ambush on the road?" Cao Shuo asked, "What conclusive evidence does he have?" ”

"There is no conclusive evidence." The guard replied: "It's just that Guo Tu and the five thousand centaurs disappeared inexplicably, thinking that Gongzi is going to Yecheng, this matter is indeed too much of a coincidence." ”

"Yuan Tan is really going to start." Cao Shuo smiled slightly at Chen Zhi, Zhao Yun and the others, and said to them: "From now on, you have to pay attention to every moment. ”

"He's a big deal." Zhao Yun smiled slightly: "We are only more than 500 people, but he sent 5,000 people. It seems that this time he is bound to win. ”

"Yuan Tan is not the only one who wants my head." Cao Shuo smiled: "If everyone can succeed, wouldn't I have to die a hundred times?" ”

"What are Childe's plans?" Chen Zhi asked on the side.

"Five hundred against five thousand, and we are in the light and in the dark." Cao Shuo asked the two of them: "If it's a hard fight, what are your chances of winning?" ”

"Seven points." Chen Zhi said: "Although Yuan Tan has some soldiers and horses, he has no generals who can lead the troops. General Zhao and I rushed back and forth among the enemy forces for a few times, and there should be no problem. ”

"When it comes to life, I'm not too sure." Cao Shuo smiled: "In my opinion, it is more appropriate for us to take a detour." ”

"Isn't Childe taking this road just to lure Yuan Tan to fight?" Chen Zhi asked puzzledly, "Is it difficult to avoid them?" ”

"If I don't make a detour, Yuan Tan will still have some doubts, maybe he won't fight." Cao Shuo said: "If I take a detour, he will definitely guess that I have doubts about him." How could he tolerate someone who was suspicious of him? What's more critical is that there are mountains and forests ahead, as long as Yuan Jun finds a random hill to ambush, we don't even have the possibility of counterattacking. Since you want to fight, of course, you have to find a place where you can let go of your hands and feet. ”

"That's what Childe said." Chen Zhi and Zhao Yun responded.

Cao Shuo instructed Zhu Ao: "Pass my military order, immediately turn around and make a detour to Yecheng." ”

After waiting in the mountains and forests for a whole day, Guo Tu never got the news that Cao Shuo was about to pass by.

Just as I was anxious, a scout came up from the mountain.

The scout arrived in front of him, and without waiting for him to speak, Guo Tuxian couldn't help but ask, "Where did Cao Zi melt?" ”

"Back to Guo Gong, Cao Zirong was originally going to pass through here, but for some reason, he suddenly led the guards to turn around." The scout replied.

Hearing him say this, Guo Tu was stunned for a moment.

He stood up sharply and shouted, "Not good! Cao Zirong saw Childe's plan. ”

"Guo Gong, what should I do?" The captain on the side hurriedly asked Guo Tu.

"Pass my order, and immediately lead the army to intercept it." Guo Tu shouted: "The cavalry goes first, and the infantry follows." ”

"Our cavalry is just over three hundred men." The captain said worriedly: "With this bit of men and horses, if you want to stop the dragon pattern horse, I'm afraid there is no possibility!" ”

"The situation is urgent, how can you take care of this." Guo Tu said: "The cavalry went first, just to stop Cao Zirong, not to fight him. As long as you can hold him back for a day, the infantry army will be able to kill him later, and I'm afraid that he won't be able to escape. ”

"I'll take the cavalry over." The lieutenant replied.

"You stay here and gallop with the infantry army." Guo Tu said: "Stopping Cao Zirong is the only way for me to go in person." ”

The lieutenant wanted to say more, but Guo Tu shouted: "Listen to my order, go down the mountain immediately." ”

Guo Tu led the army out of the mountains and forests and rushed towards the road where Cao Shuo was marching.

More than 300 cavalrymen followed closely behind Guo Tu, galloping all the way, just afraid of letting Cao Shuo go.

Just over an hour after he left the forest, the scouts reported his movements to Cao Shuo.

Hearing that Guo Tu only brought three hundred cavalry to pursue, Cao Shuo sighed lightly and said: "Guo Tu is also a capable person, I didn't expect him to be so aggressive in order to stop me." ”

"With only more than 300 cavalry, what do we need to be afraid of him?" Chen Zhi said: "Please give the order of the son, the dragon pattern ride must be good-looking." ”

"Although he only brought three hundred cavalry, our army was still very well prepared." Cao Shuo said: "The soldiers followed me to fight for survival, not death. There was a better way, but of course I would have chosen the way to wipe them all out without a few casualties. ”

"What are Childe's plans?" Zhao Yun asked.

"Zilong will ride first with a hundred dragon patterns." Cao Shuo said: "Set up an ambush ten miles away from me, I led the team to walk slowly, waiting for Guo Tu to come." ”

"Counting the distance, he should arrive in an hour." Zhao Yun asked: "Gongzi wants me to go first, is it to intercept halfway or to fight back to the army?" ”

"Of course, it's a return fight." Cao Shuo said: "Zilong, Shuzhi, you two remember. Although Guo Tu is good at slapping horses, this person is loyal to the Yuan family. Someone like him, I can't bear to kill. If I can catch it alive, it's best to leave me alive. ”

"Obey the general!" Zhao Yun and Chen Zhi responded together.

A moment later, Zhao Yun rode his horse ahead with a hundred dragon patterns, while Cao Shuo led the team forward at a slow pace.

Knowing that Cao Shuo had turned around, Guo Tu led three hundred cavalry to whip and urge the horse, only hating that the war horse had a few legs.

For nearly an hour, he saw a procession moving slowly in the distance.

The officer who followed Guo Tu shouted: "Guo Gong, there is Cao Zirong in front, do you want to kill him?" ”

Cao Shuo turned around, obviously seeing through Yuan Tan's desire to deal with him.

Knowing that it was impossible to deceive Cao Shuo by flickering, Guo Tu shouted: "Kill!" ”

Guo Tu rushed over with the cavalry, and Chen Zhi, who was beside Cao Shuo, said, "Childe, they are here!" ”

"In an hour, although we are not walking fast, ten miles should be there." Cao Shuo smiled slightly, and asked Chen Zhi, "Did you kill it first, and still wait for Zilong?" ”

"There is a chance to fight, how can I give it to others." Chen Zhi grinned and shouted to the dragon riders present: "Dragon riders, kill me!" ”
