Liu He immediately ordered all the soldiers and the sturdy among the people to jump into the water, grab the pig urine bubbles floating on the water around the hull, and the water-based ones helped to move in front and behind the boat, and the water-poor ones were on both sides, while only women, old and young could sit on the boat.

Among these boats, the larger ones can carry dozens of people, and the smaller boats, although they can only seat seven or eight people, but when they are all women, old and young, they can squeeze out more than a dozen people, plus these dozens of soldiers and strong people floating around the hull, a boat can carry at least thirty or forty people across the river, and more, it can reach hundreds of people.

Although there were still dozens of tosses and backs, everyone finally came to the other side before Cao Jun caught up.

As soon as the men on the last boat came ashore, Cao Cao's army of 100,000 chased them to the river.

Cao Jun, who was originally preparing to attack half-crossing, was dumbfounded when he saw Liu Beijun and 400,000 people on the other side of the bank, and he didn't know what method the other party had used to cross the river in such a short time.

Looking at the dozens of burning boats on the river on the other side of the river that were ordered by Liu He to burn, Cao Jun couldn't believe it, could it be that these people relied on these dozens of broken boats?

In a fit of rage, Cao Jun began to shoot arrows frantically at the opposite bank, and Liu He, who had been nervous, saw the rain of arrows coming towards him, and immediately turned around and ran away regardless of his identity.

"Damn, this Cao Jun's equipment is really sophisticated, and he can shoot over such a wide river." The frightened Liu He was panting for breath while cursing constantly.

Han Yi patted his horse and came to the front, "Mr. will take the people to go first, and my brothers and I will stay to disturb Cao's army to cross the river." ”

"Are you going to hit halfway?" Liu He asked with a smile.

"Exactly, such a good opportunity, how can you miss it," Han Yi nodded, but his expression was not as relaxed as Liu He's, "But I think it shouldn't be long, Mr. Let's leave quickly." ”

Without further ado, Liu He immediately ordered the whole army to continue marching, while Han Yi stayed by the river to block Cao's army from crossing the river.

Liu He thought in his heart that with Han Yi's ability to lead the troops and the combat power of hundreds of heavily armored iron cavalry under his command, how could he hold off Cao Jun for a day or two, but he didn't expect that in just half a day, Han Yi would come back with men and horses.

Han Yi didn't explain much about this result, and Liu He didn't ask any questions. Both of them knew the strength of Cao Jun, although they had already known the elite of Cao Jun before, but now it seems that they still underestimated Cao Jun's combat power.

Fortunately, after these soldiers and the people saw the momentum of the 100,000-strong army by the riverside, they immediately entered a state of running for their lives with all their might, and the journey that would take two days to reach on weekdays was completed in half a day.

Another piece of good news, according to Han Yi, although Cao's army was bound to succeed in this sortie, the troops that crossed the river first suffered many casualties due to Han Yi's resistance, and needed a certain amount of rest before they could continue the march.

Moreover, it is taboo for soldiers to rashly divide their troops into pursuit, and Cao's army should not divide the 100,000-strong army into two forces, but will wait until everyone has crossed the river before pursuing together.

According to Han Yi's judgment, it would take at least a whole day for the 100,000 army to cross the river without boats, and now that it was getting late, Cao's army could only camp on both sides of the river and wait for tomorrow to cross the river.

In other words, although Han Yi failed to delay Cao Jun for as long as he had imagined, he at least bought a day for the large army.

But there are still twenty days to go before Jiangxia, how much of a role can this day play?

Liu He didn't think about robbing the camp at night and sending a force to attack the Cao army that was camped by the river, but at the moment there are not many chess pieces in his hands, to be exact, there is actually only one, that is Han Yi's heavy armored cavalry.

If you attack rashly, once there is any mistake, then there will be no elite combat power in your hands to compete with the Cao army, and Han Yi is a day to go back and forth, not to mention that the Cao army is still a little tired from blocking the enemy army just now, not to mention, the Cao army will definitely be wary of itself, and the garrison must be extremely strict.

Weighing the pros and cons, Liu He still dispelled the idea of sneaking into the enemy camp, and for the sake of today's plan, he could only take one step at a time.

In the days that followed, Liu He continued to send the best spies in the army to ensure that Cao Jun could deal with it as soon as he was discovered within fifty miles.

But until the tenth day, there was still no trace of Cao Jun.

Although at this time, no news is the best news, but Cao Jun's speed, why hasn't he caught up for so long?

Could it be that these Cao Jun are lost?

As soon as he had this idea, Liu He immediately laughed at himself, even if Cao Jun came from afar and was not familiar with the place, he could follow the footprints left by hundreds of thousands of people, and he could completely trace the whereabouts of his own troops.

Ten days have passed, and these Cao troops should have all crossed the river and assembled, but why have they still been slow to attack?

What the hell is Cao Jun waiting for?

Waiting for a terrain suitable for assault? I'm afraid not, the ten-day journey, the terrain through which there are all kinds of terrain, there should always be a suitable place.

Waiting for a moment? It would be even more inexplicable, an army of 100,000 people would easily destroy an army of several thousand people, so why when?

Waiting for our army to take it lightly? From the day Cao Cao's army went south, all the soldiers knew that they had already stepped into the coffin with one foot, so how could they relax their vigilance at this time?

Waiting for the people to panic? Joke, is there anything more frightening in this world than the slaughter of 100,000 troops?

A neighing sound of horses interrupted Liu He's train of thought.

He stepped out of the carriage, and a war horse of the best breed in the army fell to death in front of him, and the owner of the horse didn't even look at the horse, and knelt down directly in front of Liu He.

"Twenty miles to the southwest, a small force of Cao Jun was found."

Liu He recognized that the person in front of him was one of Liu Beijun's top spies, and the reason why Liu He was impressed by him was because this person had a nickname, horse idiot.

His obsession with horses is no less than a drunken man's love for wine, and the war horse that died next to him is a good horse that Zhang Fei envies.

A top-notch spy who could control fifty miles away didn't notice until the enemy army appeared within twenty miles.

One of the best horses in the army, due to the constant whipping and urging of his master, died of exhaustion after only a short journey of twenty miles.

And the owner of this war horse, a horse idiot who eats and sleeps without leaving the horse, turns a blind eye to the death of his beloved mount.

These three points all illustrate a problem, this so-called small group of Cao Jun is not as simple as it is literally described.
