As Zhuge Liang expected, when Liu Bei led Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to fight outside Jiguan, he closed the free battle card and no one met him.

In this incident, many generals of the Jingzhou Army were more aware of Liu Bei's strength and Cai Mao's cowardice.

Although the cavalry in Xu Chu's hands was defeated by Xu Huang and the cavalry, it was a little difficult for the flying cavalry to easily find the traces of Xu Chu and others under the intention of evading.

The defenders of the state also increased their vigilance after they received such a cavalry in the territory.

Xu Chu's life in Bingzhou was very difficult, and shooting at ordinary villages meant that his traces would be exposed, just like when he first entered Bingzhou, it was just a raid, and he got the news for the Bingzhou army, if Xu Chu knew that their traces were leaking, it was because of that robbery, I don't know how he would feel.

What makes Xu Chu even more depressed is that even the ordinary people in the state are fighting against their own cavalry, as if it should not be what an ordinary person should have, in the Central Plains, in the face of the looting of the cavalry, the people can only endure, they understand that the more they resist, the faster they can die, all this has changed after the state, and the people do not resist as if it has become abnormal.

"General Xu, the dry food in the army is only enough for two days, if we don't go out to find food and grass, we are very likely to go hungry." Huang Gai said in a worried tone, the 1,000 cavalry that went out with the battle, and now there are only more than 500 people left, nearly half of them have been lost, these cavalry are the most elite cavalry in the Jiangdong Army, and they are lost in Bingzhou like this, he doesn't know how to explain to Sun Ce after he goes back.

As a general in the Sun Jian period, Huang Gai disagreed with the Jiangdong Army's move to unite the princes to attack the state in his heart, and the strength of the state army was well known, and the Marquis of Jin Lu Bu had a lot of kindness to the Sun family.

It's just that in the face of Sun Ce's decision-making, the generals in the army are not good at talking too much.

"General Xu, the scouts have news that there is a village not far from here, and there are about 200 people in the village, if it is looted, the food and grass of the army will have a source." Gao Xiang said excitedly.

Xu Chu shook his head with a heavy face and said: "At this time, there is not only the cavalry of the flying cavalry on the battlefield, but the defenders from other places have also sent cavalry to inquire about our news, and it will be dangerous to leak traces at this time." ”

Gao Xiang said disapprerovingly: "The defenders from all over the country, but Er'er, we are leading the cavalry to go, and they have already lost their courage, let alone the matter of facing the battle." ”

"If General Gao thinks so, then lead the cavalry to leave." Xu Chu's voice was a little cold.

Gao Xiang's face turned red, and he looked at Xu Chu angrily, he is also a general in the Jizhou army, although he led the troops to fight this time, although Xu Chu was the main leader, in terms of troops, the cavalry in the hands of the two was similar, and Xu Chu's words clearly did not take him to heart.

"According to the news from the scouts, there was a large force of cavalry at a distance of fifty miles from our army, and this cavalry is very likely to be the flying cavalry of the Bingzhou army." Xu Chu said.

Gao Xiang snorted coldly: "What is the flying cavalry of the Bingzhou army afraid of, if the first dead soldier arrives, why worry about not breaking the flying cavalry." ”

"The two generals don't want to fight, now that the enemy is present, what we should do is how to break the enemy." Huang Gai Road.

Xu Chu was silent for a long time and then said: "All parties send scouts to pay close attention to the wind and grass in the surrounding thirty miles, and they can't let go of any place, if the flying horse does not appear, it is not too late to make a move." ”

Gao Xiang secretly despised Xu Chu, and said that he didn't want to make a move on this village, he thought that Xu Chu was deliberately weakening his face, although Cao Cao was the leader of the princes' alliance, Gao Xiang didn't take Cao Cao too seriously, compared to Yuan Shao's identity, Cao Cao was still a lot worse.

Xu Chu was hiding in a wooded area about forty miles away, and the gradually cooler weather allowed the cavalry to hide in it, without the original stuffiness, and there were constantly scouts to bring the latest news on the battlefield.

During this time, no trace of Xu Chu and others was found, but Xu Huang did not relax for a moment, according to the traces of the cavalry, he judged that Xu Chu was hiding nearby, and Xu Chu did not make a move during this time, obviously he was afraid of the flying horse, Xu Huang was able to defeat Xu Chu and others with more than 2,000 cavalry with 3,000 flying horses, and the enemy Xu Chu was most unwilling to face at this time was probably the flying horse.

"General, here's a topographical map of the neighborhood." One of the horsemen rolled over and dismounted, taking out the topographical map.

Xu Huang nodded, spread the topographic map on the relatively flat ground, and after watching it for a long time, he stopped his finger on the location of Zhaojia Village.

The nearby villages, only Zhaojia Village, Zhaojia Village is far away from the nearby city, and it can be called a remote place in Bingzhou, but in Zhaojia Village, there are a lot of young and strong soldiers, and carry forward the fierceness of the military and civilians in Zhaojia, although Zhaojia Village is remote, it is famous far and near.

Because of the proximity to the Huns, the people in Zhaojia Village have a tradition of practicing martial arts, the young and strong in the village, they will usually polish their strength, although there are no thieves nearby, the Huns are even more obedient to Lu Bu's orders, they still did not relax their vigilance, and these traditions have gradually been passed down.

And the young men in Zhaojiacun who joined the army are relatively popular in the army.

"Inform General Mi Fang to quietly move in the direction of Zhaojia Village, and don't disturb the enemy's scouts." Xu Huang said.

After looking at Zhaojiacun for a long time, Xu Huang's expression flashed a trace of unbearable, in order to be able to eliminate Xu Chu and others in one fell swoop, he could only choose to let Zhaojiacun sacrifice some, he knew that this was extremely cruel for Zhaojiacun, if he didn't choose like this, Bingzhou would face greater danger and suffer greater losses, and it took half a month to roughly determine the location of Xu Chu and others, this cavalry was too cunning.

At this time, the merger of states needs stability, and only stability can allow the merger state army in Huguan to be relieved to deal with the enemy outside the pass.

Zhaojia Village is peaceful, there is no sense of urgency for the coming of the big war, even if it is learned that there is a cavalry into the territory of Bingzhou, Zhaojia Village did not take it to heart, one is that the strength of the Bingzhou army is strong, this cavalry has been defeated, and the cavalry of Zhaojia Village will not let go of the opportunity to beat the water dogs, and the other is that Zhaojia Village is located in a relatively remote area, and the enemy cavalry will not target Zhaojia Village.

Several children are playing at the entrance of the village, and the old people are sitting at the entrance of the village chatting, and the slight cool breeze is very pleasant.
