Although Zhao Yun was puzzled, since Zhao Wu didn't say it explicitly, he didn't want to ask, and he believed that Zhao Wu would never be untargeted, so he didn't say anything.

After a few more days, it was night, Liu Bei finally found a good place to set up camp and was ready to rest, and Zhao Wu was also relieved, you know, some bamboo has already been done in the past few days, and Zhao Wu has also gathered about 200 remnants of the army, and now it is just enough to make up the number of 1,000, as for Liu Bei When he saw Zhao Wu in such a chaotic situation, there were no fewer soldiers under his command, but more, all the generals, only Zhao Wu alone could do it, and immediately waved his hand, and then ruled the thousand people, It was assigned to Zhao Wu.

That is to say, these thousand people, from now on, belong to his Zhao Wu's pro-army, you must know that even before the evacuation, the five hundred people were controlled by Liu Bei, Liu Bei did this, Zhao Wu didn't have to think about it, he knew that he would definitely let himself go to take care of the ordinary people, because all those who had a large number of personal guards, whether civil officials or military generals, were sent by Liu Bei to the rear to supervise the people, but now going to the back to urge the people is simply looking for death.

And just as Zhao Wu thought, he saw Liu Bei say to Zhao Wu with a smile on his face: "Deshu, now that the army is advancing very slowly, and the people need to be taken care of, you will go to the back with Guan Ping, Liu Feng and others to urge the people to advance." ”

Although Zhao Wu is unwilling in his heart, he can't refute it now, and now that he has obtained this thousand personal guards, it can be regarded as the biggest gain of this trip, what else does he Zhao Wu not want? If Lao Liu repents and takes back this military power, wouldn't it be a big loss?

Zhao Wu arched his hand at Liu Bei and said, "The last general will take the order!" Then he was about to turn around and go out of the tent, but at this time, Zhao Yun on the side was out of the ranks, grabbed Zhao Wu's arm and said: "Deshu, remember the movements of Cao Jun, be careful, if there is anything wrong, immediately send someone to tell the lord." ”

Zhao Wu is now numb to Zhao Yun's concern, and at the same time secretly rejoiced in his heart, this big brother is not in vain, haha, treating himself like this in this big tent shows how heavy his weight is in his heart, how can Zhao Wu not know what Zhao Yun means? Then he winked at Zhao Yun and laughed: "Don't worry, big brother, has you forgotten the preparations I made before?" With that, he turned and walked away.

Zhao Yun looked at Zhao Wu's figure, no matter how he thought about it, he didn't feel at ease, he originally wanted to ask Xiahou Lan to follow him to protect him, but now Xiahou Lan was not in his Zhao Yun, but was arranged by the lord and the military advisor and others to go to Jiangxia like Li Dianwen, and there was no one around him, so he had to shake his head and sigh, fortunately, the lord assigned the thousand people to this virtuous brother, and if Zhou Lian met an ordinary general, he could also block one or two, not to mention that with Zhao Wu's wisdom, he would not necessarily meet Cao Cao's army, thinking of this, Zhao Yun was also a little relieved in his heart.

And what Zhao Wu said to Zhao Yun before leaving was naturally heard by Zhuge Liang and others, Liu Bei said to Zhao Yun in confusion: "Zilong, what preparations have Deshu made?" And Zhuge Liang also looked at Zhao Yun with interest.

Zhao Yun shook his head and smiled bitterly when he heard this, and said to Liu Bei: "Lord, Yun doesn't know, but when he saw the quotations of Deshu ordering people to cut down bamboo, if there is no bamboo, replace it with branches, and he knows so much, and he doesn't know anything else, and he never told me." ”

Liu Bei didn't have a puzzled face, but Zhuge Liang on the side had bright eyes and said, "But every bamboo or branch has one end sharpened?" ”

Zhao Yun thought for a moment and replied: "As the military advisor said, and it seems that there are still a lot of preparations, everyone has one or two!" ”

Zhuge Liang smiled and said to Liu Bei: "Lord, according to Liang's opinion, I'm afraid that the book of virtue is for the purpose of blocking Cao Cao's cavalry!" ”

Liu Bei hadn't replied yet, but Zhang Fei on the side had a pair of bull's eyes wide open, and shouted: "Military advisor, a few bamboos can block the Cao thief cavalry?" Isn't the military advisor telling a joke? ”

Zhuge Liang shook the feather fan and said with a smile: "Yi Demo don't believe it, after this bamboo is sharpened, if it is formed like a rain of arrows, its power is no less than that of a spear, and the branches of the tree are sharpened and stand on the ground, it can be used to reject horses, and horses are not made of trees?" ”

When Zhang Fei heard this, he immediately said: "That military advisor, we can also order someone to prepare these immediately." ”

Zhuge Liang shook his head and said: "Yide, it's too late to prepare these now, I expect that Cao Bing will definitely catch up within three days, but nothing can be done within three days, and I can't concentrate on making it like Deshu." ”

Speaking of this, Zhuge Liang shook his head and smiled, and said to Liu Bei: "Congratulations to the lord, Deshu is not only a great wisdom, but also a Confucian general, which is gratifying!" ”

Liu Bei didn't think about anything now, and when he heard Zhuge Liang's Confucian general's posture, he was shocked, because Zhuge Liang had never commented on a person in public, and before he commented on Zhao Wu in private, and now he said so in front of the generals, this is already a position for Zhao Wu.

Although I was surprised by Zhuge Liang's evaluation of Zhao Wu here, what made Liu Bei even more pleased was the posture of a Confucian general. Zhao Wu was so praised by Zhuge Liang, it can be said that he was unbeatable for a while, and said to Zhuge Liang with a trembling voice: "Deshu really has the posture of a Confucian general? "You know, all of his Liu Bei commands are brave generals, Guan, Zhang, and Zhao all have the courage to be unstoppable, but not to mention Confucian generals, there is not even a wise general.

Hearing this, Zhao Wu is actually a Confucian general, how can he not be happy in his heart? But at the same time, he was also a little worried, you must know that Cao Cao was killed from behind, if he touched Cao Cao, the consequences would be unimaginable, but this Zhao Wu had already prepared, maybe he could avoid this catastrophe? If he escaped this catastrophe, with his Liu Bei's means of employing people, he was confident that he could make Zhao Wu die, thinking of this, Liu Bei also calmed down.

And Brother Pig did nod and didn't speak, although Zhao Yun on the side didn't say anything on his face, but he was very happy in his heart, after all, he casually recognized a younger brother, and he could actually be called Wolong's Zhuge Military Master and called a Confucian general, isn't this his Zhao Yun's blessing?

Everything that happened in the tent, Zhao Wu didn't know, if he knew that from this moment on, if he Zhao Wu could escape this catastrophe, then Liu Bei was ready to woo him by any means to make him a diehard, and he didn't know whether to cry or laugh, of course, he didn't know now, because he had already led the army to the rear, and at the same time ordered his subordinates to help the people.

As for Zhou Lian, he followed Zhao Wu inch by his side, and Zhao Wu was also very satisfied with Zhou Lian's performance, after all, it is now a big rear, Cao Cao will soon catch up, if Cao Jun comes, Zhou Lian is by his side, his safety is also guaranteed, isn't it?

Early the next morning, Zhao Wu still led the army to help the people, but he sent all the twenty cavalry except for his own subordinates to investigate the situation of Cao Jun, and just as Zhao Wu was waiting for the news, he saw a horse galloping in front of him, flew off his horse, and bowed to Zhao Wu and said: "Lord Qiyu, the lord is already in Dangyang, and now he orders the generals to go to the meeting!" ”

Zhao Wu was confused by the words of the herald, and he had already reached the Dangyang longboard? In other words, this is the place where Liu Bei was defeated and Zhao Yun rode the savior alone? At the same time, that is to say, at this time, Cao Cao's army is about to chase after him? Thinking of this, Zhao Wu's face turned pale.

When Zhao Wu was about to give the order, he saw a soldier who had been sent to reconnoitre, and he rushed over covered in blood and said, "General, it's not good, Cao Cao's cavalry is about to be killed here." ”

Zhao Wu was in a trance for a while, but when he saw that the dust was already rolling farther behind him, he suddenly became much more sober, and immediately ordered the herald who came just now and said: "If you go back to the lord quickly, you will say that Cao Cao is chasing the soldiers, and it is better to prepare early." "Anyway, regardless of the herald, he went straight up a hill, this hillside is still okay, the slope is just enough to reduce the momentum of the cavalry, but it is not enough to stop the cavalry.

And the herald also saw the yellow sand in the distance, so he naturally didn't dare to slack off, and got on his horse and headed towards Jingshan, where Liu Bei was stationed.

Zhao Wu looked at the dust in the distance, the corners of his mouth curled, and said secretly, Boss Cao, today is the day when my Zhao Wu became famous, when he said to Zhou Yao beside him: "Zixin, you go and recall all the soldiers, and at the same time order people to dig a hole on the hillside here, it doesn't need to be deep, as long as the enemy cavalry's war horses are not suitable for walking, you understand?" ”

Zhou Lian's eyes lit up, of course he knew what Zhao Wu was going to do now, although he was a little worried in his heart, but he was not afraid, after all, they had dealt with cavalry before, this was not the first time, and I believe it was not the last time, and immediately shouted 'No', he went down to prepare, and the other Hou Jie had already been sent by Zhao Wu to help the people, Zhao Wu had to face another herald beside him: "You go and give an order, let Hou Jie cut down branches everywhere, the speed should be fast, and at the same time prepare more ropes." ”

"No!"

Zhao Wu looked up at the sky, and said secretly, success or failure is in one fell swoop, if it is done, I dare not say that I am famous, but there will definitely be a great achievement, looking at the posture, there is no doubt that it must be a cavalry chasing me, but I just don't know how much.

In a short time, more than 1,000 guards were already present, and more than 500 of them were digging the pit, of course, this pit was not a big one, but a very small one.

In a short time, all the preparations had been prepared, and there was already a pit of more than 100 meters in front of Zhao Wu, as for the people, they had already taken a detour, which was the result of Zhao Wu arranging a full hundred sergeants to inform the people. Otherwise, the current pit will definitely be trampled by those people. Zhao Wu looked at Cao Cao's cavalry who were getting closer and closer, and now he could see the black armor, Zhao Wu shouted: "Where is Hou Jie?" ”

"The last general!"

"Command you to lead twenty soldiers to lie in ambush in the grass behind this slope, one on each side to hold the ropes, remember that those ropes should also be covered with earth, and after leading all our troops to withdraw, if there are soldiers chasing them, straighten the ropes, and then order the soldiers to ride on war horses to catch up with the army."

When Hou Jie heard this, he already knew what to do, and asked at the same time, "But the horses from where we came?" ”

Zhao Wu said with a smile: "These twenty cavalry are going to prepare with you." ”

When Hou Jie heard this, he hurriedly said to Zhao Wu: "General, don't do it, these twenty cavalry are all elite, so stay with the general to protect the general's safety." ”

Zhao Wu shook his head and said, "Isn't there still Zixin here?" Moreover, it is a very dangerous task to stumble on Masona, because we have not arranged an ambush, so once we are caught up by Cao Cao's army, it will be a death, so these twenty cavalry will be handed over to you. ”

When Hou Jie heard it, if he gave way to the pawn, then I am afraid that he really didn't know if he could come back alive, and he was not ambiguous at the moment, and said loudly: "No"

Hou Jie just went to prepare, and at this time, there were about 1,000 horsemen in the vanguard of the Cao army, all of whom had already arrived here, Zhao Wu looked at the more than 1,000 horsemen of the young and middle-aged people, and secretly took a breath of cool air, this Nima is still a cavalry? I saw that this group of cavalry was all on their backs, a whole thousand or so people, no one spoke, the whole army was filled with a solemn atmosphere, Zhao Wu sighed lightly: "This is the elite!" After that, he looked at the thousand people around him, although no one spoke, most of them were shocked by the momentum on the opposite side and didn't dare to speak, and a few of them were already trembling.

As for why this group of cavalry stayed five hundred steps away, it turned out that Cao Cao's army had arrived, and when the striker heard that someone was intercepting here, he directly ordered Cao Chun to lead a thousand tiger and leopard cavalry to kill this enemy army, and then break through the army to capture Liu Bei.

Originally, Cao Chun was worried that it was one of the two who blocked him, Guan and Zhang, but he didn't expect it to be a young general he didn't know, so he secretly sneered in his heart, raised the long knife in his hand, and waved at Zhao Wu: "Kill." "As for Zhao Wu who dares to block the way, he doesn't even want to know his name now, not to mention his youth, his figure doesn't look like Kong Wu's strength, the one next to him is not bad, but at first glance it is the role of a guard, naturally he is not taken by Cao Chun in his eyes, and at the same time he is a little depressed, he was ready to make a big contribution, but now I am afraid it is impossible.

Zhao Wu looked at the 'Cao Chun' banner, he knew who it was, but he didn't expect it to be Cao Chun, there is no doubt about the thousand cavalry in front of me, that is the famous tiger and leopard ride, I heard that the tiger and leopard ride are very valuable, if these horses are folded here, I guess Cao Cao will be furious, right? Ha ha.

Zhao Wu saw that Cao Chun didn't even ask his name and waved his army to cover up, he was angry in his heart, peaty, how can he be famous, his eyes rolled, he turned around and took out the bow and arrow, bent the bow and arrows, only to hear the sound of 'whoosh', only to see that the original Cao character banner fell in response, looking at his masterpiece, Zhao Wu was satisfied, and at the same time secretly said, so many days of hard work, after all, it was not in vain, and shouted at Cao Chun at the same time: "Cao Chun, you listen, the person who defeated you is Jingxiang Zhao Wuye!" ”

And Zhao Wu's group of subordinates, as soon as they saw that Zhao Wu actually shot down the local general's flag with one arrow, the army's heart suddenly lifted and shouted: "The general shoots!" "After all, this is a distance of nearly two hundred meters, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a divine shot, in fact, Zhao Wu also took advantage of the wind direction, because the wind direction at this time was blowing in the direction of Cao Cao's cavalry, and the arm strength after Zhao Wu crossed over was indeed extraordinary, which made Zhao Wu shoot down Cao Chun's banner by the trend.

And those cavalry have also entered the range of the pit, the original forward momentum is gone in an instant, and even a few horses lost their front hooves, fell off their horses, and were trampled to death by the cavalry who swarmed up behind, which made Cao Chun angry, and his heart hurt, these tigers and leopards rode a lot of money, and even if he personally led more than 300 horsemen who followed him, he also killed them.

Zhao Wu saw that more than a thousand horsemen had already been killed, and shouted loudly: "Bamboo spear preparation!" As soon as the words fell, he saw that the more than 900 soldiers behind Zhao Wu were holding bamboo spears in their hands.

Zhao Wu looked at the tiger and leopard rider who had rushed to less than fifty steps, and shouted loudly: "All bamboo guns, throw!" "And Zhao Wu was disappointed in this trap, for no other reason, because the trap that was close to more than 100 meters was actually just a dozen unlucky tiger and leopard riders, it seems that this kind of trap is completely useless against elite cavalry.

With Zhao Wu's order, 'whoosh', 'whoosh', 'whoosh', in an instant, he saw that the entire sky was full of this kind of bamboo spear, and Cao Chun looked at the bamboo spears coming from the sky, his eyes showed disdain, you know, his tiger and leopard riders are all iron armor all over the body, how can he be shot to death by these bamboo spears? If you throw a spear, it's pretty much the same.

But the next scene was a lesson to Cao Chun, these seemingly non-lethal bamboos were so powerful, because it was just a round of projection, there were already nearly three hundred cavalry off the horse, you must know that once the cavalry who rushed forward fell off the horse, there was only one word, death.

Originally, Cao Chun looked at it as less than fifty steps, and said in his heart, that's all you have, but don't have it again, if there is, then the loss will be great, but he can come whatever he wants, but he saw Zhao Wu order the projection again, and the originally harmless bamboo also appeared in the sky again.

At this time, Cao Chun's face changed, and then his face turned ruthless, and he shouted loudly: "The whole army accelerates, it's okay to rush to them." Immediately urged the horse forward, but the guards around Cao Chun did not do it, you must know that the bamboo is so powerful, maybe it will land on Cao Chun's head, how will they explain to Cao Cao at that time? Immediately said to Cao Chun: "The general can't be in danger, if the general has three longs and two shorts, how can we explain to the prime minister." ”

In fact, although Cao Chun is brave, he is not a pure reckless man, and he will not think that he has the courage of ten thousand people, so as soon as his personal guards persuaded him, he also gave up, but he still urged the cavalry around him to rush up.

Zhao Wu saw that Cao Chun was obedient this time, but he didn't follow, and secretly said in his heart that it was a pity, but there was no way, let him shoot Cao Chun with a bow and arrow? Don't think about it, he doesn't dare, you must know that Cao Chun is a member of the Cao family, if he kills him, then Cao Cao won't look for him to fight hard? What's more, he was not sure to shoot Cao Chun, so Zhao Wu couldn't see Cao Chun as soon as he saw it, so there was no point in taking it here, and when he ordered all the soldiers to throw the bamboo spear in their hands, he withdrew his troops at full speed and headed towards Dangyang.

And Cao Chun looked at the bamboo spear shot for the third time, his face turned white, you know, after the three bamboo spears, nearly more than six hundred tiger and leopard riders were buried here, and a whip was indispensable after going back, looking at the only more than three hundred riders left around him, Cao Chun was ruthless, anyway, he had to catch Zhao Wu no matter what, and even if he personally led the army to rush towards the hillside.

This is good, because of Cao Chun's reason just now, when they rushed over the small hill, they could only see the tail of Zhao Wu's soldiers, Cao Chun was so angry, he immediately ordered: "The whole army will follow me!" ”

Cao Chun was angry, and he was destined to bury this thousand tigers and leopards almost buried here, and this is exactly the case, Cao Chun led the army to chase after him, and was embarrassed by Hou Jie's simple rejection of horses made by ropes and branches sharpened along the way, and even Cao Chun almost died, and finally Cao Chun had to lead less than 100 tigers and leopards to report to Cao Cao, which Zhao Wu had not expected before.
