Chapter 187: Don't even have a face
Wen Ping rejected Zhang Xiu's request to besiege Ye County.
He asked Wei Yan to lead 1,000 troops to open the way in front, and he led 4,000 troops to follow closely behind and kill Cao's army.
The Jingzhou army rushed to the battlefield, and Cao Shuo had already led his troops to wait in formation.
Looking at the smoke and dust billowing in the distance, Cao Shuo pointed forward and shouted, "Soldiers, do you know what it is?" ”
The soldiers of the six hundred immortal battalions looked into the distance, and their eyes flashed with anticipation of battle.
Gone through countless battles.
They had never been as happy as the previous few times they followed Cao Shuo to fight.
"You are all veterans, and you don't need me to say more, you should know who is coming." Cao Shuo then shouted: "There must be more enemies than us, tell me, are you afraid?" ”
"Don't be afraid!" Six hundred soldiers raised their weapons and shouted in unison.
"What if they come with a thousand?" Cao Shuo shouted.
"Kill!" The soldiers shouted again.
"What about three thousand?"
"Kill!"
"What if five thousand come?" Cao Shuo asked loudly.
"Kill!"
The Jingzhou army has not yet arrived, and the Cao army has already shouted for a burst of killing.
"You are an immortal camp, a warrior in ten miles!" Cao Shuo shouted: "Today we want to let the enemy know what it means to be a hundred!" Grab your weapons and get ready for battle! ”
"Roar!" The soldiers let out a unison shout.
Everyone in the array clutched their lances tightly and stared at the Jingzhou army that was rushing this way.
The enemy forces are getting closer and closer.
Almost every Cao Jun felt the blood in his body boiling.
led a thousand Jingzhou troops to a place where Cao Shuo could be seen, and Wei Yan restrained his horse.
The officers and men of the Jingzhou army stopped one after another.
Looking at Cao Jun, who was already close at hand, Wei Yan waved his hand and rode his horse forward.
A thousand Jingzhou troops lined up in a phalanx, approaching Cao's army with neat steps.
"Crossbow!" The Jingzhou army advanced forward, and Chen Wu, who was stationed behind Cao Shuo's flank, shouted.
Cao's soldiers put their shields and lances on the ground one after another, and removed their crossbows, which had been improved by Cao Shuo, from behind them.
Before setting out on the expedition, they had tried out a new type of crossbow, and although they were not very comfortable with the handling of this weapon, at least they were not unfamiliar.
"Positioning arrows!" Chen Wu shouted again.
Cao Jun, who was in the front row, deducted the reeds of the strong crossbows one after another, and dozens of arrows tied with red strips of cloth flew out.
The arrow landed on the ground still some distance away from the Jingzhou army.
The red strips of cloth were unusually eye-catching on the grass where the shoots had been newly drawn.
Glancing at the arrows not far from him, Wei Yan reined in his horse again.
He instructed the soldiers behind him: "Go over and ask, is Cao Zirong here?" If it's him, ask him if he dares to meet me alone. ”
The pro-soldiers responded, waving snow-white cloth and running towards Cao Jun.
Several strong crossbows pointed at the Jingzhou army rushing over.
Cao Shuo raised his hand and signaled to the soldiers with strong crossbows not to release arrows.
When they reached only ten steps away from Cao Shuo, the Jingzhou army grabbed their horses and shouted, "Is it Cao Shuo in front?" ”
"Presumptuous!" Chen Wu replied: "My son-in-law's name is also your name?" ”
Cao Shuo stopped him and asked the Jingzhou army: "I am Cao Shuo, who is your general?" ”
"Wenchang Wei, General Wei." Jingzhou Jun clenched his fists and arched to the side: "My general has something to say to Gongzi, I wonder if Gongzi has the courage to meet him alone?" ”
"Childe ......" Wei Yan proposed to see Cao Shuo alone, and Chen Wu wanted to remind him not to go.
Cao Shuo raised his hand and didn't let him continue.
He said to the Jingzhou army who passed the message: "Since it was your general's proposal, of course he has to come and talk to me." ”
"Don't you dare to ...... Gongzi Cao," Jingzhou Jun asked.
"Don't say anything, don't dare." Cao Shuo interrupted him: "Tell your family General Wei, I don't want to see him, but I can give him a chance." If he is sincere, he can come and speak to me. ”
"In case Childe tries to disadvantage my general......"
"I thought Wei Yan was a character, but I didn't expect him to be as timid as a mouse." Without waiting for Jingzhou Jun to finish speaking, Cao Shuo raised his face and smiled: "Go back and tell him, if you don't dare to come, forget it, don't mention anything to meet me!" ”
The Jingzhou army was full of resentment, turned around and left.
"Tell the order to get the grappling hook and lasso ready." Cao Shuo instructed Chen Wu: "As long as Wei Yan dares to come, he will be arrested." ”
"Childe promised to meet Wei Yan in person, if he did this, I am afraid that he would be ridiculed." Chen Wu whispered.
"What's wrong with being laughed at?" Cao Shuo asked, "Do you know how powerful Wei Yan is?" ”
Chen Wu shook his head blankly.
"I've heard that he can kill a bear with one punch." Cao Shuo said: "Such a ruthless person, if you have the opportunity not to catch him, let him go, unless I am stupid!" ”
"But the reputation of the son ......," Chen Wu still couldn't figure out why Cao Shuo made this decision.
"Is reputation more important or is the lives of you, me, and the soldiers?" Cao Shuo said: "If a person dies, let alone fame, there will be nothing left." Listen to me, let the soldiers prepare the grappling hook lasso, and prepare to capture Wei Yan. ”
Although Chen Wu conveyed the order, he was still muttering in his heart.
Childe is really, in order to capture a Wei Yan, he doesn't even want a reputation.
"You don't seem to approve of what I'm doing." Seeing that his expression was strange, Cao Shuo asked.
"No, I just think it'......" Chen Wu tried to argue.
"Disapproval is disapproval, don't find so many reasons." Cao Shuo said: "You may think that I am so shameless and capture Wei Yan while he is defenseless." ”
"I don't dare to ......," Chen Wu replied with a bitter face.
"I don't dare to say it, but I don't think so." Glancing back at the soldiers, Cao Shuo said: "I once said that the soldiers who follow me are the ones I should care about life and death!" For the sake of my face, I let go of the enemy generals in front of me, but let the soldiers come forward to fight. How many lives, just to change a face, do you think it's worth it? ”
Chen Wu was stunned by the question.
He only thought about Cao Shuo's face, and he really didn't think about it so much.
"The whole world says that I am not ashamed, what can I do if I am not ashamed and shameless?" The corners of Cao Shuo's mouth twitched, and he said indifferently: "As long as the soldiers under my command don't die, I can take you to level the whole world!" ”
Cao Shuo's words made Chen Wu inexplicably moved.
In order for the soldiers to survive, Childe didn't even want his face......
While Cao Shuo and Chen Wu were talking, Wei Yan came over with two Jingzhou soldiers on horseback.
He didn't want to risk coming to see Cao Shuo, but if the soldiers brought him back, he was in a dilemma.
It was he who first proposed to meet Cao Shuo alone.
Cao Shuo gave him a chance, if he didn't go, he would really have no face to see people in the future.
After hesitating for a moment, Wei Yan finally thought that as the son of the Cao family, Cao Shuo should not be shameless enough to take such an opportunity to attack him.
With two personal soldiers, Wei Yan rushed over to Cao Shuo.
