The warbler of the Taishou Mansion sings and dances, and the iron armor of Cao Tongdu's battalion is strong.

There is no food, no sound, no logistics, no supplies. We took this group of peasants on the road.

The monkeys are scrappy, and they think this is their long-awaited battle with their troops. Not baptized by war. For war, we only stay in books, movies and television.

Cao Tong was still not at ease after all, and he sent fifty subordinates to accompany us on the road.

Why Cao Tong only sent a mere fifty people is to blame for the constraints of the conscription system.

There was a precedent for conscription in Eagle City before. Cao Tong sent 500 troops to press the team, but only 20 people returned. The rest were left behind by the front-line generals.

Front-line conscription, the more the merrier. If you send more escorts to veterans, you will be detained by the front-line generals.

So Cao Tong learned to be obedient, and in the future, he would recruit soldiers to the front line. He sent a handful of his men to suppress the team.

Fortunately, Eagle City is not far from Zhang Liao's army, and it will be two and a half days away. It was Cao Tong who did not send more manpower.

Out of Eagle City County, to the south. That is, Zhang Liao's camp, we went to die.

There is an even more terrible problem, we must use tonight's time to shake off Cao Tong's pursuers.

Tomorrow, Taishou will find out that we are running away with these two thousand recruits, and he will definitely send Cao Tong with troops to chase after us.

Cao Tong had less than a thousand men, even if he left three hundred to defend the city. He only needs to bring four or five hundred men to the ground of our rabble.

The worst thing is that Cao Cao will come to Eagle City tomorrow, if he knows from Bian Taishou's mouth that the old fox deceived him with 2,000 recruits, with Cao Cao's personality, he will send cavalry to intercept it, so we must find a way to get rid of the pursuers.

Most of us recruits haven't even touched a knife. Many people are afraid that they don't even have the courage to kill a chicken, and they hope that this rabble will not think about it.

doubly terrible is that we don't have weapons. That's right. Except for these fifty escorts, who were armed with sabers, we had no weapons.

It is customary for local armed forces to escort recruits to the front line without handing out weapons, unless there is a shortage of weapons at the front line. The main fear is that the recruits on the road will rebel, and Chen Sheng and Wu Guang of the previous dynasty are an example.

If the old fox asked Cao Tong for weapons, it would inevitably arouse Cao Tong's suspicions. So we're now talking about it with our bare hands.

Cao Cao was extremely good at using troops, so he sent Zhang Liao to be stationed in Hanoi County, Chen Liuguo in Yu Ban, and Le was stationed in Zayanzhou. The three armies are in a zigzag shape, which can be attacked when advancing and defended when retreating. Each other is a horn, which can be described as an iron wall.

And we must penetrate the zigzag lineup of these three armies in order to jump out of Cao Cao's sphere of influence.

And that's not all. The important thing is that now except for me and the old fox, everyone thinks that we are going to the Zhang Liao military camp.

Cao Tong's subordinates have great respect for the old fox, after all, the old fox is now our supreme administrator and has great power. Importantly, he is a popular person around Taishou.

I can't imagine how Mamoru was furious when he knew that we had escaped with two thousand recruits.

Bian Taishou is a yin owl and has insight. But after all, he still fell into the old fox's way.

Later, the old fox told me that it was really dangerous in Eagle City. Because he was really gambling with our lives.

I said that a small mistake in any one of these links can be fatal. For example, if Tai Shou saw us at that time, or Cao Tong forced in, we would all finish the game. It's a pity to die, you old king pickpocket.

The old fox smiled and said no, even if we met Taishou, he would have a way to take us away.

The old fox didn't say anything, and I don't know if he was bragging.

I asked him why he was so desperate, and the old fox said that there was no way, he was reluctant to let these soldiers go. This is an opportunity that must be taken at risk.

Now we have gone from the official road to the path, and we are exhausted from the night's travel. The good thing is that Cao Tong's pursuers can't catch up with us for the time being.

The trail carriage could not move forward, and the old fox's carriage had already been thrown halfway through. The box of dark ghosts knows what the old fox handed over to the four recruits to carry.

The recruits are still quite good at doing these manual jobs, and the four of them are carrying boxes like flying, after all, they are all from working people.

The old fox always had his reasons, he said that he was afraid that Liu Biao's small troops in Jingzhou would infiltrate and cause a nuisance to these recruits, and he wanted to take us to take a shortcut, so we came to the trail and no one objected. The main thing is that these people are easier to deal with.

It was bright and we sat down to rest and make a fire to cook after a tired night.

The old fox was very clever, he chose a mountain cliff pass, where you can see from a distance whether there are any pursuers, and you can use this pass to defend condescendingly.

Our original gang gathered around the old fox, and the rest of us were separated by us.

The old fox looked at me: "Xiao Tu, now that we are safe for the time being, you can tell everyone the truth."

The monkeys were inexplicable, so I told the truth, and they were speechless in shock.

Ye Xianxian frowned: "Why are you so sloppy, where are we going?" This is Cao Cao's sphere of influence. We have no logistical supplies, and the rations for these soldiers will only last until tomorrow. ”

"Well, why didn't you tell us last night?" The monkey was not happy anymore.

The old fox glared at him: "I didn't tell you that I was afraid that you wouldn't be able to leak out of the horse's feet, and now we are out." With so many people with me, I'm going to head south. ”

Me: "I knew we were going south, and the question was how we got around Cao's troops. And how to solve the problem of food, weapons. An important point, what should I do with the forty or fifty escort soldiers under Cao Tong? Coupled with the more than 2,000 recruits, how can you convince them to go south with us. Have you thought about these questions? ”

Every problem I mentioned is urgently needed and must be solved, and the problem is that we can't solve it.

The old fox played with the tiger talisman in his hand and didn't answer, and he couldn't solve it. He's been playing with this thing all the way.

I finally remembered that I hadn't asked him about the origin of the tiger talisman.

"Where did you get this?"

"It's too guarded, it's too guarded. Where else can I get this stuff from there? Saying that, the old fox carried the tiger talisman in his arms, for fear that someone else would seize it.

"You think I run to the Taishou Mansion every day just to grind with that old thing." The old fox looked at me with disdain.

I couldn't find a reason to refute it, so I had to say, "He's an old thing, and so are you." You went to the blacksmith shop to make this tiger talisman, so this tiger talisman is fake? ”

The old fox looked at me like a fool: "Can a fake fool Cao Tong?"

I see, the old fox stole the tiger talisman from the Taishou Mansion. Find a blacksmith shop and make a fake.

Then put the fake back to the Taishou Mansion, and the old guy carried the real thing himself.

The Tiger Charm will not be used except in emergency situations. So the fakes are put back in the Taishou Mansion, and no one will carefully study whether this is true or fake.

The question is, how did the old fox know where Taishou hid the tiger talisman?

I finally couldn't help but ask, "Old fellow, how did you find this tiger talisman?"

The old fox groaned for a moment: "I cheated it out unintentionally. At first, I had a good chat with Bian Taishou, and then he took out this thing and showed it off to me. That's what I found. ”

"Taishou is not so stupid, eighty percent of it was you who squeezed it, and he took it out to show off to you."

……

The old fox's eyes swirled around each of them, and finally fixed on my face.

"We have to build a faith." The old fox said.

"What the hell?"

The old fox pointed at me: "This group of people is illiterate, so they are so confused. Reason with them, they may not understand. We must hypnotize them in a religious way. ”

I had a vague sense that the old liar was doing something bad, so I said, "What the hell are you thinking?" Is it possible to solve the food problem first? The food rations for more than 2,000 people will last only until tomorrow. ”

The old fox ignored my words, pointed at me and looked at the monkey: "What do you think of the butcher?"

The monkey smiled hesitantly: "The crooked melon and cracked dates are ugly out of the sky."

"Your uncle."

The old fox shook his head: "No, I don't think he looks like a mortal."

I was amused by the old fox's words, I don't know whether it was a compliment or a sarcasm: "You old thing, I am a god of heaven."
