Cao De led the army and crossed the Danshui. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info entered the boundaries of Jingzhou. The army had been marching for five days. Although I met some Yellow Turban troops along the way, most of them were small squads fighting the autumn wind. Among them, the largest number of people encountered was only one hundred and ten people. Cao De did not come forward in person, and the captain in the army sent his men and horses to lead his men and horses to fire several salvos of bows and arrows, which had already caused the enemy to lose all his color and flee in a hurry.

And the army was delayed for half an hour for these small groups of Yellow Turban Army. Except for the time to eat and rest. The entire army was always moving forward in a line of five. At the front of the team was Zhang Fei with two hundred cavalry to open the mountain and pave the road. At the back of the line were fifty horsemen for the tail of the temple. There were also thirty cavalrymen roaming around to protect themselves from surprise attacks. Cao De was always accompanied by twenty cavalrymen to protect him.

Scouts coming in and out were constantly providing Cao De with information on the forty-mile journey. Basically, the reports of scouts are unharmed, and scouts who have found the enemy are very rare. However, most of the news from the scouts was the same. The main forces of the Yellow Turban Army drove in the direction of Wancheng in the northeast. The Yellow Turbans, who are still roaming here, are a small group of men and horses that have fallen behind when the large army drove away.

Cao De was not interested in these small groups. Instead, he attached great importance to the news that the Yellow Turban Army was assembling in the direction of Wancheng.

Suddenly, a scout's report caught Cao De's attention. Zhang Fei, who was driving the road ahead, met a convoy that had been robbed by the Yellow Turban Army, and the important thing was that this convoy was not a caravan or anything else, but a convoy to send relatives. What's more, this convoy is from Luoyang. When he met Zhang Fei at that time, the other party was in a hurry to rush towards the cavalry, seeking protection. In desperation, Zhang Fei sent ten cavalry escort convoys to join the large army.

After Cao De got the news, he was also very curious about this family delivery team, so he waited on the side of the road. Not long after, Cao De saw the so-called family convoy from a distance. This convoy claimed to be sending relatives, but in Cao De's opinion, it was not as spectacular as an ordinary family fleeing.

A scrawny old horse pulled a raged carriage that could not stop the wind and rain at all. On both sides of the carriage, more than two dozen people were sparsely pulled, and they walked forward mechanically with a squeaky face and no energy. When the so-called convoy arrived at Cao De. These people have only regained some spiritual energy in their eyes.

"Which of you is in charge?" Cao De didn't even get up and asked casually.

An old man dressed in tatters said in a trembling voice, "General, it's me." ”

Cao De glanced back at the old man. "I heard that you are a family convoy from Luoyang. How did it get like this? Whose family are you? ”

The old man replied tremblingly: "General Hui, we are the family send-off team of the Cai family in Luoyang. I wanted to go all the way north from Luoyang, but due to the riot of the Yellow Turban Thieves, I had no choice but to go south to bypass the riot area. But as soon as he arrived at the edge of Luoshui, he was attacked by the yellow turban thieves, and he had no choice but to protect the young lady across the Luoshui, but those yellow turban thieves also crossed the river and chased all the way. In a panic, I had to go all the way south, and I had been running for seven or eight days. ”

Cao De asked in surprise: "This gang of yellow turban thieves has been chasing you for seven or eight days. What do you have that attracts them? ”

The old man trembled for a while, sighed and said helplessly: "When I was on the north bank of Luoshui. One of them, who seemed to be the head of the Yellow Turban, accidentally saw my young lady. threatened to snatch it back to be the wife of the village, and my aunt was so angry that he slashed the leader to death. And this leader seems to be the leader of this group of yellow turban thieves. After they hacked my aunt to death, they had to kill them all, and followed our trail all the way here. ”

When Cao De heard it, hehe. It's a trouble for the young lady who still wants to leave the cabinet. I want to see what kind of country this young lady is. Cao De got up and walked to the carriage. As he walked, he asked, "Where is your uncle?" ”

The old man saw that he had already said a lot, and there was no need to hide anything anymore. Soon said: "It's Hedong Wei's family." ”

Cao De casually repeated one side: "Hedong Wei family." Immediately after, Cao De stopped all of a sudden. What are you talking about, Hedong Weijia, you are Luoyang Cai Yong, a person from Cai University. When the old man saw Cao De's expression, he immediately trembled and said, "Exactly." ”

Cao De pointed to the carriage, "Then the one sitting in this carriage is Cai Wenji, Miss Cai." With that, Cao De immediately strode towards the carriage. The old man's exclamation came from behind him: "General, the general stays." My young lady can't see outsiders. Just as the old man was about to grab Cao De's arm, Cao De had already lifted the curtain of the carriage. The soldiers guarding on the side also drew their ring-headed broadswords at their waists. Two other soldiers stepped forward to restrain the old man.

And the moment Cao De opened the curtain, Cao De was already speechless. The man in the carriage was dressed in a bright red wedding dress, with a big red hairpin inserted in his thick black coiled hair, and a large red net-like veil obscured the owner's fair face. Only large, bright and twinkling eyes are exposed. Although the red wedding dress had long been stained with a lot of dust, the person sitting in the carriage had already impressed Cao De with his big eyes that seemed to be able to speak.

Cao De was stunned for a while. Only then did he slowly ask: "You are really the daughter of Scholar Cai, Cai Yan." The pretty man in the carriage nodded slightly. After Cao De got the other party's confirmation, he took a deep breath, lowered the curtain, turned his head to the old man who was still shouting, and said, "Be quiet, old fellow." I am also from Luoyang. I'm Cao De. Surely you've heard of it. Now that you've met me, I can't leave this matter alone. Your uncle from the Hedong Wei family is also dead, and there are yellow turbans raging on the road. You can't go to Hedong. Let's go and hide in my Hanzhong first. ”

After listening to Cao De, the old man said. Their eyes immediately widened like bells. Pointing at Cao De, he trembled and said, "You, you are Cao De!" ”

Cao De smiled: "Why, it's not like it." Cao De immediately beckoned, "Come on, change the carriage for Miss Cai." Send a hundred people back to Nanzheng, Hanzhong, and arrange to go to Taishou Mansion first, and live with Hongchang. ”

"No." The sergeant received the order and immediately went to prepare.

Cao De then turned around and lifted the curtain of the carriage and said inside, "Miss Cai." Let's take shelter in my Hanzhong first. After the Yellow Turban is pacified, I will return you to Scholar Cai. You go to live in my Taishou Mansion in Nanzheng, Hanzhong for a few days, and it just so happens that Hongchang is pregnant, so you can talk to her and chat. ”

Cao De had just arranged all of this. Another scout shouted and rushed to the news. Wait for the scout to run closer, and before the horse can stop at once, he will turn over and dismount. "Report to the general, a large-scale thief with a yellow scarf on his head was found thirty-five miles ahead, and he was rushing here. There were about four or five thousand people, and General Zhang led the cavalry to confirm the enemy's situation. ”

Cao Deyi frowned and asked sharply, "Is the enemy cavalry or infantry?" ”

"The subordinates took a few glances from a distance, about 300 cavalry, and the rest were infantry."

After Cao De heard this, he waved his hand, "Explore again." ”

"No." The scout immediately jumped on his horse and walked away.

Cao De looked at the back of the scout leaving. Wave back "Order, reorganize the army, prepare for battle, line up, meet the enemy." ”

The guards immediately turned around and went to give the order.

Cao De turned around and said to the carriage: "The Yellow Turban thieves are here, please hurry up and get on the road, I will arrange someone to escort Miss all the way." ”

When the old man kept kowtowing and kneeling to thank him, Cao De turned around and walked over to the sergeant who was arraying. Soon after, a hundred sergeants escorted Cai Wenji, who had been transferred to a new carriage, to Hanzhong.
