Chapter 285: The Storm Is Coming
The sword is unsheathed, and the clouds move in all directions. The www.biquge.info army of Pen, Fun and Pavilion set out to fight, and all directions were shocked.
Just when Li Dao and Guo Yan on the defending side set up a position and waited for Cao De to crash into the ambush circle by himself, suddenly, Cao De's two-way army, totaling 106,000 people, disappeared without a trace overnight.
There is a moat between Hanzhong County and Chang'an, which is for the Qinling Mountains. In the Qinling Mountains, there are six ancient roads. The disappearance of Cao De's army was also the meridian road and the Bao slope path among the six ancient roads.
If Cao De set out from Hanzhong and went straight north to attack Chang'an, he would inevitably take these six ancient roads. Therefore, no matter how Cao De plays tricks, he can't run these six ancient roads.
And the most important question is which ancient road Cao De took.
Although Li Dao and Guo Yan are both a little wary of each other, but now that it is a critical juncture, it is time for no more infighting. Therefore, Li Dao and Guo Yan came to two places where Cao De was likely to appear.
Cao De's army was divided into two armies and marched together. One of them was led by Cao De himself, while the other was led by Cao De's cousin Cao Ren and the prestigious Xu Shu.
Cao Ren and Xu Shu walked the slope of praise. Cao De himself walked the Meridian Road.
There is a plank road in Bao Slope Road and Chen Cang Road, called Lianyun Road. Therefore, Li Wei guessed that Cao Ren and Xu Shu should have come to Chencang Dao through Lianyun Dao.
Li Wei guessed correctly, the current Lianyun Road is already crowded with soldiers, Cao De's soldiers. However, they did not march. And Xu Shu and Cao Ren were also sitting and resting on a protruding stone.
Suddenly, Cao Ren and Xu Shu glanced at each other and nodded to each other, and Xu Shu suddenly said loudly: "Zhao Yun, Zhao Zilong!" ”
"The last general!" Zhao Yun, who was dressed in bright armor, immediately came to Xu Shu's side.
"Thou shalt take a thousand cavalry and be the vanguard of the great army. Gather your troops and set off now! ”
"No!" Zhao Yun immediately turned around and left after receiving the order.
Xu Shu, who was on the big stone, said loudly again: "Zhang Liao, Wei Yan! ”
"The last general!"
"Each of you will bring a thousand cavalry, and after General Zhao sets off for an hour, you will set off in turn!"
"No!"
Almost at the same time, in a mountain already covered with emerald heat, there was a large army, resting.
Suddenly, a young man in the armor of a general, who was very imposing and young, came to the side of a man in civilian clothes who was sitting on the ground with a big grin.
This person is Cao De, who suddenly disappeared, and this army is also the army that followed Cao De to play the disappearance.
"Uncle and nephew have come to ask for war. Let your nephew be the vanguard of the army! ”
Cao De looked up at Ma Chao, who was covered in clothes, and flicked the dew on the leaves of a small tree beside him, "Chao'er, don't be anxious, I promise you." ”
Ma Chao's face was happy, "Thank you, uncle!" ”
And Cao De suddenly asked: "I don't know how many soldiers and horses Chao'er, the vanguard general, plans to bring?" ”
Ma Chao said without thinking: "You don't need too much, just four hundred and seventy-three people under Chao'er's command!" ”
Cao De thought about it carefully, and then said: "I don't understand the arrangement of this battle, Chao'er won't understand, so the vanguard can't belong to the general." Chao'er, can you be prepared? ”
"Uncle rest assured, my nephew is willing to make a military order, and if he is defeated, he is willing to be punished." Ma Chao said firmly.
Cao De waved his hand and said, "The military order will be exempted, and I will send a general to go with Chao'er." ”
When Ma Chao heard this, he was a little anxious. When Ma Chao was about to step forward to theorize with Cao De, Cao De said again: "Don't worry, don't worry. The position of pioneer is still yours, he is only auxiliary to you. ”
When Cao De said this, Ma Chao was relieved. Hurriedly clenched his fists and said to Cao De: "Thank you, uncle." ”
"Alright, let's go and get ready. As soon as it's dark, let's go! ”
"No!"
Ma Chao left, and Xiahou Yuan, who had been living in Cao De, looked at Ma Chao's back and asked, "The lord really feels at ease to hand over the pioneer to a child." ”
Cao De raised his head and smiled at Xiahou Yuan, "That's why I asked you to be an assistant!" ”
Xiahou Yuan was stunned for a moment, and Cao De said: "Don't look at Chao'er's youth, he will definitely surprise you." ”
After that, Cao De said to the guards beside him: "Go and tell Yide, let him stop drinking, hurry up and sleep, and set off with two thousand cavalry!" ”
"No!" The guards went.
At this time, Lu Bu, who had just come over, heard Cao De's last words, and immediately strode over, clasping his hands into fists, "My lord, in the past two years, the last general has done nothing in the state of surrendering generals, and now that the war is imminent, the last general is here to ask for battle." ”
Cao De smiled, supported the ground with one hand, held down Lu Bu's fist with the other hand, and stood up from the ground at once, "Don't be in a hurry, kill chickens with a knife!" You are the best in the world, and the war is still to come. ”
Bao Slope Road, North Port, Li Guojun's camp.
"Someone, send this bamboo slip to the general and the great Sima. Let's just say that for seven days, no trace of Cao Dejun has been found! A general on duty handed the soldier a bamboo slip and commanded.
"No!" After the soldiers took the bamboo slips, they withdrew from the camp, then turned on their horses, and out of the camp they hurried to the west.
Since the news of Cao Dejun's army was lost three days ago, only 10,000 men were left in this 30,000-strong battalion. Moreover, after two days of searching, no trace of Cao Dejun was found.
There was no way, the general on duty had to send a squad of sentry cavalry to look further south. However, it's been two days, and if you count the time, they should be back soon. Now, just wait for news from the Sentinel.
However, this general is looking forward to bringing back disappointing news, everyone in the world knows that Cao Dejun's combat power is strong, if he can avoid war with Cao Dejun in the first place, it will not be able to be chic for a while longer.
Although the general did not want to go to war with Cao De's army, the necessary inspections still had to be carried out. So he picked up his saber and led twenty soldiers out of the tent and began his routine rounds.
When the general was just halfway through the investigation, a soldier suddenly ran over with a panicked face, "Panic, what kind of system!" What happened! ”
"General Qiyu, the sentry is back!" The soldier bowed his head and said.
"Coming back? What's the news? ”
"Of the ten sentinels who went out, only one came back, and besides, he was covered in wounds!"
When the general heard this, he was shocked. "Quick, prepare for battle!"
The general gave the order and ran quickly to his big tent.
Soon he returned to his tent, and just as he was about to open his mouth to ask questions, a loud cry came from a distant land,
"I am Changshan Zhao Zilong! Kill! ”
"Kill ......"
