Chapter 686: Stand by now
"King Wei! The soldiers are ready! ”
Two hours after Cao Cao arrived in Runan City, an order came out of the Taishou Mansion in Runan City.
"All the army assembled!"
When they first received this order, many Cao soldiers were puzzled. Could it be that the king of Wei wants to review and review. However, when they were assembled, the next order they received was to stand by on the spot.
A full 20,000 people, gathered together, squatting on the ground, is also a spectacular sight!
This standby lasted nearly an hour. And the next order the soldiers received was to eat on the spot!
So, 20,000 people squatted on the ground, nibbling on the bread, and the spectacle appeared again. And now, in fact, the sky has begun to get dark.
Is it impossible to parade at night? Even Cao Cao was born with a pair of eyes with infrared and thermal imaging, plus night vision. What can Cao Cao read?
"King Wei! The soldiers have been waiting for nearly two hours! "Since Cao Cao revealed his identity, Xu Huang has changed into his armor. At this time, Cao Cao was holding a pair of long chopsticks in his hands, carefully picking out something from the dishes in front of him. "Here, Komei, try this!"
Cao Cao seemed to be holding something with chopsticks, but Xu Huang really didn't see anything. Could it be that Cao Cao asked Xu Huang to taste his chopsticks? However, Cao Cao is not so boring!
Xu Huang took a closer look, and it turned out that there was a small black thing on Cao Cao's chopsticks. "King Wei? This is? ”
"Taste it!" Cao Cao stretched out his chopsticks again and pointed the thing into Xu Huang's hand.
Xu Huang looked at Cao Cao hesitantly, "King Wei can't have any serious disease, he wants to infect me!" However, Xu Huang looked at Cao Cao's eyes full of expectation, gritted his teeth, and stuffed it into his mouth.
'What's it, can't you find it?' Oh! Over here! Wow, what kind of smell is this...... As soon as he entered his mouth, Xu Huang hurriedly spit it out.
"What is this, this strange smell, what does it feel like...... However, when Xu Huang tasted it, the whole mouth cavity was filled with a strange aroma.
"King Wei, ...... this?"
"Hmph, I don't know what's wrong! I actually vomited! This was specially given to Gu by Anbang. It is said that it came from the Western Regions, and even Anbang only has a few catties. You know you've spit it out, it's enough to break the bank! ”
Cao Cao was a little unhappy, and the stupid Xu Huang didn't know what a good thing was.
Xu Huang was scolded by Cao Cao, and suddenly forgot the purpose of his visit. Drooping his head, he hurriedly retreated, and when Xu Huang just walked out of Cao Cao's door, he suddenly remembered what was going on.
So, Xu Huang hurriedly walked in again. But at this moment, there was a sudden flash in the sky, and then a dull thunder roared from far and near.
It's going to rain?!
Before Xu Huang's hind feet could be brought into the house, the bean-like rain had already crackled.
When it rains, it can't be so fast.
"Hey, why are you back again?"
"It's raining, King Wei!"
"Hmm! Lone heard! Cao Cao nodded sincerely.
"The soldiers are still waiting outside."
"Oh! That's right! Cao Cao slapped his forehead. This movement is obviously a rhythm that Cao Cao has forgotten.
Xu Huang said with a speechless face: "Then the subordinates let the soldiers go back to rest." ”
"Hmmm! Rest is time to rest. As Cao Cao spoke, Xu Huang prepared to go out. Because, Xu Huang really can't stand it. However, Xu Huang was stopped by Cao Cao before he could take a few steps.
"Wait! Let the soldiers rest outside. No need to go back to camp. ”
"What?" Xu Huang said in surprise. "Yes!"
Xu Huang didn't say anything more, because Xu Huang had already seen that Cao Cao's expression had changed.
Soon, Xu Huang came to the place where the Cao soldiers gathered outside.
"Look, the general is here!"
"General! General, such a heavy rain, let the brothers take shelter from the rain! ”
Xu Huang glared at the captain who spoke. shouted loudly: "The king of Wei has an order, and the whole army is on standby!" ”
"Standing still? Checkmate...... Promise! ”
Originally, the captain was still surprised and angry, but when he saw Xu Huang's expression, the rest of the words became a "no"!
And then, the soldiers, who were all holding a breath of air in their stomachs, suddenly stood straight and straight in the wind and rain one by one. Because, Xu Huang also ripped off the hat on his head and stood straight in the wind and rain.
Although many soldiers didn't know Xu Huang, they knew the armor on Xu Huang's body. Since Xu Huang, as a general, is waiting in the rain, what else do we have to be hypocritical.
The rain was still falling, and although the rain was a little weaker, the soldiers, who had been drenched in the rain for nearly an hour, were still very uncomfortable when they were blown by the wind.
And now, Xu Huang sat directly on the ground, and many soldiers lay down directly, and some even snored.
Previously, Cao Cao's order was to rest in place, plus the soldiers had been resting in place for more than three hours. Therefore, some soldiers fell asleep, and no one stopped them.
On the contrary, there are already more and more soldiers, choosing to sleep. Soon, almost all of the 20,000 soldiers were asleep on the ground. And at this time, the rain also stopped unconsciously.
About two quarters of an hour later, suddenly there was a faint sound of footsteps that woke up Xu Huang, who was sitting and dozing. The hour of this is past the hour.
The footsteps are getting closer and closer, and Xu Huang is also listening more realistically.
"Hehe...... they're all asleep!" Xu Huang looked up and saw a black figure, led by Cao Cao.
"King Wei! The soldiers were tired, so they fell asleep! Xu Huang softly defended the soldiers.
"Hmmm! Since you can all fall asleep in the rain. What a man in a tent! Komeito, let everyone get up, it's time for us to attack! ”
"Yes!" Xu Huang in this matter already understood what Cao Cao meant. And now is indeed a very good time to strike!
In the darkness, the east and west gates of Runan City quietly opened almost at the same time. And at almost the same time, an army of 7,000 men quietly opened the gates.
The east gate of the city, "General Xiahou!" Where do we go? ”
"South of the city, Jingzhou military camp!"
West Gate of the City, "General Xu!" Did we attack the Jingzhou military camp at night this time? ”
"Exactly!"
And at the south gate of Runan City, after Xiahoudun and Xu Huang went out of the city, Cao Cao, Runan Taishou and Duwei also came to the city gate.
"Captain!"
"King Wei!"
"Yuan Rang and Gongming have already left the city, and they will arrive in half an hour. Lone now needs one person to disrupt the Jingzhou army outside the city......"
"King Wei! Subordinates understand. The king of Wei needed his subordinates to lead the army to stir up the Jingzhou army camp into troubled waters. So that General Xiahou and General Xu can take advantage of the chaos to attack and break the enemy army! ”
At this time, Cao Cao's plan was already obvious. People who can't see it are either stupid or stupid!
"However, there won't be too many people who will give you alone!"
"King Wei! A thousand people are enough! ”
"A thousand? No, I'll give you two thousand! Remember, make sure to come back alive! ”
For this task, Cao Cao's original plan was to have a thousand people. However, when the lieutenant himself said a thousand people, Cao Cao suddenly changed his mind.
