Chapter 81: They Were Scared Away
Cao Shuo led the team out of the hillside.
From time to time, he glanced back at the soldiers who had been left behind to clear their footprints.
"Didn't you say you were going to fight with Zhang Xiu?" Qin Nu asked, "Why don't you fight?" ”
"I thought about it for a moment." Cao Shuo said: "There are too many people on his side, even if we have a good location, we may not be able to get him." ”
"So you decided to run away?" Qin Nu smiled dumbly.
"What do you mean by running away?" Cao Shuo said seriously: "Is this called strategic transfer? How could someone as wise and martial as me escape? ”
"It's a shame to get so many snowballs." Qin Nu sighed: "It's a shame that you let the soldiers spend so much effort. ”
"How can I let what I prepared be wasted!" Cao Shuo said confidently: "Although we are not on the mountain, Zhang Xiu will definitely go up the mountain." ”
"Why?"
"He thought I was still there." Cao Shuo pursed his lips: "With his wisdom, he can't judge the truth at all, how can he die if he doesn't go up the mountain to see?" ”
"You really have a way." Qin Nu said: "There is a big snow ball hanging on each bonfire, and the snow melts little by little, and the fire cannot be extinguished at once. When the fire is out, we will go away! ”
"Who am I? Is the second son of the Cao family good? Cao Shuo said: "I don't have any ability, my father will let me lead the troops?" ”
Qin Nu was silent.
She was worried that if she said a few more words, Cao Shuo would climb up the pole and boast to the point of outrageousness!
"Childe, the footprints have been erased for five miles." Wei Tu caught up from behind and asked Cao Shuo, "Do you want to continue wiping?" ”
"Five miles should be enough." Cao Shuo said: "Let the people behind catch up with the team, let's hurry up." ”
Cao Shuo led people away, and Zhang Xiucai came to the bottom of the hill.
He asked the scout, "When did the fire go out?" ”
"Not so long ago."
"Not long after the fire is extinguished, Cao Zirong must still be on the mountain." Zhang Xiu said: "Let people go up the mountain!" ”
Thousands of embroidered troops climbed the hillside under the leadership of a general.
"Surround the hillside." Seeing that the tooth general would take people up the mountain, Zhang Xiu shouted: "Don't let Cao Zirong go!" ”
Zhang Xiujun's army dispersed one after another, and soon formed an encirclement of the small hillside.
Soon after the encirclement was formed, there was a "boom" on the hillside.
Zhang Xiu was stunned for a moment, stretched her neck and looked at the hillside.
It's a pity that the trees are so thick that he can't see anything.
After a while, I saw the tooth general running down the mountain with a few people in embarrassment.
"General ......" arrived in front of Zhang Xiu, and the tooth general gasped and said: "Before we reached the mountainside, countless snowballs rolled down on it, many people were stoned to death, and many people were injured and could not go down the mountain. ”
"Snowball?" Zhang Xiu was stunned: "What snowball?" ”
"Half a man is more than tall." The tooth general has not yet gasped: "It's overwhelming, I don't know how many there are." A few of us escaped by hiding behind a tree! ”
Zhang Xiu commanded the lieutenant general with a cold face: "You take people up the mountain, I want to see how many snowballs can be on the mountain!" ”
Although he was apprehensive, the adjutant general did not dare to disobey the order, so he had to order a group of people to go up immediately.
About half an hour later, Zhang Xiu saw them coming down from the mountain with many wounded soldiers.
"How? How many snowballs are there? Zhang Xiu asked.
"Back to the general, the snowball is gone." The adjutant general said: "The first batch of soldiers who went up the mountain suffered many casualties, and many wounded soldiers did not come down. ”
"Have you seen Cao Zirong?" Zhang Xiu asked.
"I didn't see Cao Zirong." The adjutant general said: "There are only a few extinguished stoves on the mountain. ”
Knowing that there was no one on the mountain, Zhang Xiu suddenly felt annoyed, gritted his teeth and said, "Let Cao Zirong run away again!" ”
"General, do you want to chase?" The adjutant asked.
"Further ahead is Yuzhou, where is Cao Cao's foundation, how to chase it?" Zhang Xiu said: "Get the wounded soldiers down from the mountain, we will occupy Wancheng first, and then make a plot!" ”
Zhang Xiu withdrew, and soon after, he rode a fast horse to catch up with Cao Shuo, who was leading people west.
On horseback were the scouts he had left behind to observe the movements of Zhang Xiujun.
The scout saluted Cao Shuo: "Childe, Zhang Xiu has withdrawn!" ”
Cao Shuo proudly shouted to everyone: "Soldiers, tell you a good news!" Zhang Xiu was scared away by us! ”
Hundreds of Cao soldiers cheered in unison.
The soldiers all knew that Cao Shuo was full of nonsense.
It was they who were beaten by someone, Zhang Xiu withdrew, but he said that he was frightened.
However, at this time, who among the soldiers who escaped death will demolish him?
"Gongzi is heroic, Zhang Xiu was still scared away by so many soldiers and horses." Cai Ji took the opportunity to pat Cao Shuo's ass: "With only a few hundred people against tens of thousands of horses, there is no fear at all, but it can scare them away, except for Gongzi, who else in the world can do it?" ”
"Tens of thousands of horses?" Cao Shuo was stunned.
Immediately, he reacted and said to Cai Ji: "What you said is true, the black pressure is a thief army, and there is no end in sight, if it weren't for the good deployment of this son and the brave progress of the soldiers, how could the thief army be repelled?" ”
"Have you counted the enemy troops we killed?" Cao Shuo asked.
"After counting, 5,000 enemies were annihilated, and countless weapons were captured." Cai Ji said nonsense: "We don't have oxen and horse-drawn carts, so many weapons can't be brought at all, and they are all lost!" ”
"I found that you have a better ability to make up stories than I do." Cao Shuo smiled, patted Cai Ji's arm and said, "The task of returning to Xudu to brag to others will be handed over to you!" ”
"Don't worry, Childe!" Cai Ji clasped his fists: "I will definitely let everyone in Xu Du praise Gongzi's bravery!" ”
Cao Shuo and Cai Ji had a conversation, and none of the people who heard it interjected.
The two of them opened their eyes and said nonsense, and they were full of energy, as if they were chasing Zhang Xiuda, instead of fleeing all the way here.
When Cao Shuo and Cai Ji stopped bragging, Wei Tu asked, "Childe, what should we do next?" ”
"Back to Xudu!" Cao Shuo said: "After fighting with the thief army for several days, the soldiers are also tired. Further on is the chestnut, where you can rest for a few days! ”
Since leaving Wuyin, the soldiers have not slept a single night, and when they heard that they were going to Liyi to rest, hundreds of people let out another cheer.
At the same time, Sima Yi took 500 Cao troops to meet Cao Shuo.
Along the way, he was deliberately avoiding Zhang Xiujun to avoid unnecessary trouble.
I only knew that Cao Shuo went all the way to the east, but I didn't know that he had turned to the west, and Sima Yi and he missed each other.
got rid of Zhang Xiu's pursuit, and it was not until night fell that Cao Shuo led the team to the outside of Liyi City.
Wuyin and other places were taken away by Zhang Xiu one after another, the city gate of Liyi was closed, and the city head was very heavily guarded.
When he arrived outside the city, Cao Shuo instructed Cai Ji: "Go and call the city gate." ”
Cai Jice immediately stepped forward and shouted under the city gate: "Listen to the people in the city, the second prince is here to destroy the thief army, why don't you open the city quickly?" ”
A voice came from the city: "Which second son!" ”
"Bastard thing!" Cai Ji scolded: "How many second sons does the Cao family have? Dare to commit a crime, and the head doesn't want it? ”
