For his uncle, Cao Ang also has nothing to say. Although Cao Hong is greedy for money, he is very good to Cao Ang, and because of this, Cao Ang is also willing to deal with the trouble caused by Cao Hong at this time.

At present, the main generals in Cao's army have their own things to do, and it is really difficult to find time to help Cao Ang. However, the bandits in Runan are no longer as fierce as in the past, and Cao Ang's martial arts themselves are not low, so he called his good brothers Xiahou Heng and Cao Zhen, and called Xu Yi who stayed in Xudu, and the four junior generals took three thousand Cheng Yudong to put together the county soldiers to go to Runan to suppress the bandits.

Nanyang was originally an emperor's hometown, but after many wars and troubles, there were many bandits, and it lost its former prosperity. There are many bandits who are active in the Nanyang area all the year round, the big ones are three or five hundred, and the small ones are seventy or eighty, each occupying the mountain, robbing the house, and even attacking the city and occupying the county when it is most rampant, but that is only in the past. When Yuan Shu controlled Nanyang, he recruited a group, and Liu Bei also took a group when he was there, and by the time Cao Cao arrived, those who were still in the Nanyang area were already full of small thieves who did not become weapons. The reason why Cheng Yu dared to let Cao Ang suppress the bandits was also here. If he can't even clean up a few rat thieves, how can he be expected to become a qualified heir.

Cao Ang didn't know Cheng Yu's thoughts, and after meeting Xu Yi, who had rushed from Xu Du, the four of them took 3,000 men and horses directly to Honghua Mountain, which was closest to them. Lei Xu, who was entrenched in Honghua Mountain, couldn't help but be furious when he learned that Cao Jun was coming, thinking that back then, he Lei Xu was also the number one person. His brother Lei Bo is a general next to Emperor Yuan Shu of Dacheng, but unfortunately Yuan Shu's life is short, with the defeat of Dacheng, Lei Xu has become a rat crossing the street, and he can only run to this Honghua Mountain to occupy the mountain as the king.

It's not that Lei Xu didn't want to defect to others, but his reputation was dragged down by Lei Bo, and no one dared to ask for him, plus he didn't have any ability, so naturally he had no buyers. However, over the years that Zhanshan has been king, Lei Xu has gradually thought about it, which is good, at least free, and does not have to be controlled.

Relying on his familiarity with the terrain, Lei Xu led his more than 400 people to fight with the Cao army who came to clear the conquest many times, and if he won the battle, he would fight, and if he couldn't win, he would drill the ravine, and every time he dragged until the Cao army ran out of food and had to retreat, and Lei Xu's name was also the number one among his peers. However, Lei Xu is unlucky and unlucky in becoming famous, Cao Ang and others are not afraid of tigers, and there is no sense of accomplishment in fighting ordinary bandits, so if they want to fight, they will fight Lei Xu, a famous old thief.

Lei Xu didn't take the arriving Cao army in his eyes, although the three thousand people were more than his own people, the Cao army he met before was about the same as the number of people who came this time. According to the habit, Lei Xu plans to test Cao Jun's reality first, if he can win, then fight, if he can't win, he will drill the ravine to hide from Cao Jun.

Compared with Cao Jun's equipment, Lei Xu's outfit is a little miserable, similar to calling Huazi. He wore a half-length armor, his hair was haphazardly draped, he rode a horse not much larger than a donkey, and he held a serrated knife in his hand.

Hatred of the rich is an inferior nature that everyone will have. Looking at the young general Cao Jun in front of him, Lei Xu is very hateful to the rich now, and he can't wait to take off those envious and drooling armor and put it on himself.

"Oh~ Who is coming, Lao Tzu does not kill the nameless ghost under the knife." Lei Xu hurriedly took a step forward and asked loudly.

Seeing the bandit leader appear, Xiahou Heng and Xu Yi glanced at each other, and Xiahou Heng stepped forward, pointed the gun in his hand at Lei Xu, and shouted: "Lei Xu, now that the official army is here, don't get off the horse and die quickly!" ”

"Ahh If you want grandpa's life, it depends on whether your doll has that ability! "Lei Xu didn't make Xiahou Heng angry, but Xiahou Heng's mount. Xiahou Heng is the eldest son of Xiahou Yuan, and Xiahou Yuan is a favorite general who is deeply trusted by Cao Cao. As a military general, there is no one who does not love BMWs, Xiahou Yuan has a few thousands of miles of BMWs. This time, Xiahou Heng went out with Cao Ang to suppress the bandits, and the elders in the family felt sorry for Xiahou Heng, so they gave Xiahou Heng Xiahou Heng's Zhaoyebai to ride out.

Lei Xu wanted Xiahou Heng's BMW, but he was worried that Xiahou Heng would escape on horseback, so with the inferior horse he was riding now, he wouldn't be able to catch up with Zhao Yebai even if he ran to death.

Xiahou Heng didn't seem to see through Lei Xu's ghostly thoughts, and when he saw Lei Xu rushing over by himself, he immediately urged the horse to step forward. Lei Xu was secretly happy when he saw it, this Xiahou Heng was relatively thin, and he looked like a weak scholar, in Lei Xu's eyes, Xiahou Heng was definitely not his opponent.

But I never expected that this Xiahou Heng didn't look thin, but his body bones were strong, and the strength on his body was not small at all. Lei Xu slashed over, and Xiahou Heng raised fire to the sky with a move, and took it with a relaxed expression. Poor Lei Xu wanted to grab the horse at this time, but he didn't realize the terrible nature of the young general in front of him, and the blow was blocked back, and he didn't give up on splitting Huashan with one blow, and this time he used ten percent of his strength.

But Xiahou Heng didn't greet him this time, but a circle of war horses, let go of the knife that Lei Xu cleaved, and when he let the knife go, Xia Houheng also did something immoral, raised his gun and pressed Lei Xu's knife head. Lei Xu was already working hard, but as soon as Xiahou Heng helped him like this, Lei Xu couldn't hold back his strength anymore, and the whole person went forward.

said that it was too late, and at the same time that Lei Xu's whole person was planted forward, Xiahou Heng's gun was also withdrawn, and he stabbed Lei Xu distractedly. Lei Xu is really an experienced old thief, almost out of instinct, when Xiahou Heng's gun was about to stab him in the heart, Lei Xu's body deviated, and the head of the gun stabbed him in the shoulder.

If you want to say that people are unlucky, drinking cold water will also stuff your teeth. Lei Xu escaped Xiahou Heng's fatal blow with his injury, and was picked off the horse, according to the script, he should have been captured, but he didn't want to wait for Lei Xu to struggle to get up from the ground, Xiahou Heng's mount stepped on Lei Xu's head with a hoof in the white night. At the beginning, the stirrups, saddles, and horseshoes that Liu Xie equipped on the cavalry followed Lu Bu to the Central Plains to fight, and they were also known to the princes. Nowadays, most of the cavalry are equipped with this cavalry three treasures.

Zhao Yebai is Xiahou Yuan's favorite horse, and the nature used is also of good quality, plus Zhao Yebai itself is a BMW, and when the hooves go down, Lei Xu's head will be directly stomped on.

None of the people present expected that Lei Xu would die under the horse's hooves, and they were all stunned and didn't react. In the end, Cao Ang shouted, "Those who descend will not die!" This brought everyone back to their senses from the shock.

The next thing is simple, the bandit leader Lei Xu died, and the rabble under him had no intention of resisting, and Cao Ang asked him to shout a few calls, and then Cao Jun was forced forward with weapons, so they threw away all kinds of unique weapons in their hands and surrendered.

The victory in the first battle made Cao Ang very happy. It's not the first time he's been in battle, he's been fighting with his father since then, but it's the first time he's leading a solo army like this one. In fact, it's not just Cao Ang, Cao Zhen, Xiahou Heng, and Xu Yi are all the second generation of Cao carefully cultivated by the Cao Group.

Seeing that the suppression of bandits was not as difficult as imagined, Cao Ang discussed with Xiahou Heng and others, and decided to make persistent efforts, take advantage of the victory to pursue, leaving a hundred people responsible for escorting the captives to Runan and handing them over to the county guard Han Hao for disposal, while Cao Ang took the rest of the people to continue to clear the remaining bandits.

The content of the merit book is gradually increasing, and the bandits who were hit by Cao Ang were poured blood mold, and they were either captured or eliminated. However, as more and more bandits were captured, Cao Ang's men became fewer and fewer. The casualties in the battle with the bandits were not many, but escorting the captives required sending people, and this faction needed at least a hundred people at a time, and by the time Cao Ang agreed to rest, there were less than 2,000 people under his command.

"Zixiu, do you think we are going to collect troops and go back to Runan? Even if you don't continue to transfer troops, you always have to let the soldiers you sent out before return to the team, right? Xiahou Heng found Cao Ang and suggested.

"Well, I'm going to do that too." Cao Ang nodded yes.

"Zixiu, Zixiu, good news, I just caught my tongue with the tiger head, guess what we asked?" Cao Zhen ran over to Cao Ang with some excitement and said.

"Zidan, I'm discussing with Zixiu about going back." Seeing this, Xiahou Heng said to Cao Zhen.

"Huh? Get back? No way? It doesn't seem like this bandit is finished yet, right? Cao Zhen was stunned when he heard this, and looked at Cao Ang in disbelief. Seeing this, Cao Ang nodded and said, "Zidan, I am indeed discussing with Boquan about returning to the army. We have cleared out a lot of bandits along the way, and the number of prisoners sent to Runan alone has reached nearly 5,000, and the soldiers are now a little tired, and I want to go back and rest for a while before continuing. You just said you caught your tongue and asked what's wrong? ”

“…… Just now, when I was patrolling with the tiger head, I noticed that someone was snooping from a distance, so I looked for an opportunity to capture that person. After the interrogation, I learned that the person was a minion from the nearby Woniu Mountain, and he was ordered to come to find out the truth of our army. I wanted to take advantage of the opportunity that Woniu Mountain had already asked us to discover his whereabouts before I noticed it, but I didn't expect you and Boquan to discuss the withdrawal of troops. Cao Zhen said, a look of disappointment on his face.

Seeing this, Cao Ang pondered for a moment, and then asked Cao Zhendao, "...... Zidan, can that tongue explain the reality of Woniu Mountain? ”

"Zixiu ......" Xiahou Heng opened his mouth to persuade when he heard this, but was interrupted by Cao Ang raising his hand. Cao Zhen was quite happy, and hurriedly replied: "Confess, the group in Woniu Mountain has about 300 people, and there are two bandit leaders, one surnamed Lu and the other surnamed Zhou." ”

"Well, you go and call the tiger head, remember to bring that tongue." Cao Ang commanded Cao Zhen, and after Cao Zhen left in a hurry, Xiahou Heng couldn't help but persuade: "Zixiu, it's too late." At present, the soldiers are a little tired, and they are not suitable to fight anymore, after all, these people are not the elite under the command of the lord, but just the county soldiers of each county. ”

"Boquan, it's just three hundred bandits, why worry, can you bear to see Zidan sullen?" Cao Ang explained with a smile.

“…… All right. Seeing Cao Ang's insistence, Xiahou Heng could only agree.

Cao Zhen is indeed not exaggerating, the person he and the tiger head, that is, Xu Yi jointly captured, is indeed the minion of Woniu Mountain, and the purpose of going down the mountain is indeed to find out the truth of Cao Ang's Cao army. Recently, Cao Ang's group of men and horses has caused the mountain kings who are entrenched in the mountains of Runan to panic. Today, Cao Ang was resting near Woniu Mountain, and the bandit leader who occupied Woniu Mountain couldn't help but worry before sending people down the mountain, but he didn't want to call Cao Jun to be captured not long after coming down the mountain.

"Let me ask you, can the terrain of Woniu Mountain be complicated?" Cao Ang asked, looking at the captive's tongue.

"If you go back to the general, it's not very complicated, if the general wants to enter the mountain, the little one is willing to lead the way, but the general is asked to spare the little one's life." The tongue immediately begged for mercy.

"Zixiu, why don't you let me take the lead?" Cao Zhen couldn't help but ask Zhandao. This time, although they are all good friends, there is also competition between them, among which Cao Zhen and Xiahou Heng are competing. Judging from the current results, Xiahou Heng has a slight upper hand. Originally, Cao Zhen would not take the initiative to ask for battle, but today he heard Cao Ang say that he was going to return to the army to rest and recuperate, and Cao Zhen, who did not want to be temporarily ahead of him by Xiahou Heng, took the initiative to ask for battle.

"Okay, that Zidan, you have to be careful, don't take the enemy lightly, I and the tiger head will press the formation for you." Cao Ang did not refuse Cao Zhen's invitation to fight, and nodded and admonished.

With a guide, it is not difficult to enter Woniu Mountain. Under the leadership of the tongue, Cao Zhen led three hundred people along the mountain path into the mountain, Cao Ang asked Xiahou Heng to lead five hundred people to suppress the battle for himself, and he took Xu Yi to lead the rest of the men and horses to follow behind Cao Zhen.

Woniu Mountain doesn't seem to be big from the outside, but when you enter the mountain, you find that this place has a small mouth and a big belly, and it is a place suitable for hiding soldiers. When Cao Ang saw the terrain here, he immediately ordered someone to inform Xiahou Heng behind him not to follow up, and to guard the mountain pass to prevent thieves from escaping.

"Hey, when will it arrive?" Cao Zhen asked the guide with some impatience.

"It's coming, it's coming, you see, general, there's it." The guide looked left and right as he coped, and suddenly pointed ahead and shouted with surprise.

Cao Zhen, who was also looking around, immediately looked in the direction of the guide's finger when he heard this, but found that there was no bandit, and just wanted to find trouble with the guide, but found that the news that the guide had moved quickly was in the grass on the side of the road. Cao Zhen was shocked, and hurriedly ran over to find the guide's traces, and when he opened the grass, he found a secret passage hidden by the grass.

"The whole army formed a circle and slowly retreated." Cao Zhen immediately ordered.

After this period of fighting, the original county soldiers have made a lot of progress, and they can already complete Cao Zhen's orders more cooperatively. The circle formation of three hundred people slowly retreated towards the way they came, but they didn't know that the Cao army behind them had already blocked a small road at this time.

The sheep intestine trail is very difficult to walk, especially the only one that can be walked at the moment. The damn guide didn't say that this was the only shortcut, in order to be able to catch the bandits off guard, Cao Zhen left, and in order to ensure that Cao Zhen would not be alone, Cao Ang had to take someone to follow up. It's just that what Cao Ang didn't expect was that Cao Zhen was fine when he walked over, but when he took people away, something happened. The boulders that fell from both sides of the cliff happened to block the hundreds of people they were carrying. Looking at the size of the boulder blocking the road, it is difficult to move it without the assistance of tools.

And before Cao Ang could figure out how to escape from here, new trouble came again, and I don't know which one of the immoral people came up with the idea, this place is already narrow and difficult to walk, and there are people pouring cigarettes into it at this time, and everyone coughs for a while, Cao Ang hurriedly tore off a piece of clothing and wet it with water to cover his mouth and nose, and at the same time motioned to the people around him to do the same. But the smoke seemed to be endless, pouring into this mountain road one by one, and soon the mountain road was filled, and there was not even a figure in it, and a constant cough was heard.

Cao Zhen was already about to go crazy at this time, and after discovering that smoke was rising behind him, Cao Zhen had already realized that he was in a trick, and Cao Ang was in danger. In order to make up for his mistakes, Cao Zhen took the lead and rushed to the front, wanting to rush to Cao Ang as soon as possible. It's just that it's not easy for Cao Zhen to join Cao Ang, since Woniu Mountain has been prepared, naturally he won't easily let Cao Zhen take people to join Cao Ang.

I saw a big man in the shape of a man, holding a big knife and leading people to intercept the way of Cao Zhen and others. Cao Zhen has fought with the bandit Cao Kou a lot recently, and he has a certain confidence in his martial arts, but he doesn't want to wait until he hands over, Cao Zhen finds that he is still far away from the fierce general.

The group of thieves in front of him is less than the people brought by Cao Zhen in terms of numbers, but everyone's combat power is very amazing, especially what makes Cao Zhen stunned is that this group of thieves still knows how to cooperate.

Cao Zhen's 300 people are not the opponent of 200 thieves at all, so the other party is defeated and retreated, and Cao Zhen is also red-eyed, and he rushes over even if he wants to die. Cao Ang is the eldest son of the lord and the future successor of the Cao family, if he makes a mistake here, even if no one blames him afterwards, he can't forgive himself.

But the thieves who blocked Cao Zhen's way were like a high mountain, blocking Cao Zhen's intention to join Cao Ang. And as time went by, Cao Zhen became more and more anxious, so that the thieves caught the flaw, kicked him to the ground, and became a prisoner of the thieves.

"Haha~ Lao Tzu won, this knife is good." The thief who had defeated Cao Zhen picked up the war knife that Cao Zhen had just used, waved it twice, and shouted excitedly.

"Big boss, don't be beautiful, let's hurry up and support the second master." Someone is on the side to remind the big boss.

"Yes, yes, hurry up, a few of you will bring some people to stay and guard the prisoners, and the rest will go with Lao Tzu."

"Stop! It is the name of a hero. Cao Zhen, who was pressed to the ground, struggled to ask the big boss who was going to walk with his legs.

"Huh? Lao Tzu's name is Zhou Cang. Doll, don't be afraid, as long as you are obedient, Lao Tzu will not kill you. After Zhou Cang finished speaking, Cao Zhen, who scolded him, hurried to meet the second master with someone. At this time, the second master he was worried about was leading people to appreciate his masterpiece.
