The so-called stealing chickens does not make rice, presumably Cao Cao's current mood. A whole thousand elites, but the soldiers of the headquarters brought from this time and the carefully selected elites from the state army. In the midst of war, how can one be a strong man who can be ten. was led by Guan Yu for a burst of killing, except for the more than ten soldiers who guarded Cao Chun's retreat, all of them were injured, and they all folded in front of the door of the pot.

The two sides of the pot pass are pointed shapes, if the pot pass is broken, it is naturally condescending to the next horse Pingchuan. But on the contrary, if it is counterattacked by Guan Yu's soldiers in Huguan, it actually occupies enough favorable terrain. In addition, this thousand vanguard elites blew in the damp and low valley for most of the night, even the iron beaten people were almost boiled, and they had already prepared for Guan Yu's guards, who were waiting for work, and under the change of attack and defense, they had calculated with their hearts and minds, where would there be an undefeated reason.

However, what is surprising is that despite the loss of troops this time, the judge, who was supposed to be a "guide", miraculously survived. was slipped by Cao Chun on the back of his neck, and was thrown in front of Cao Cao with red eyes.

"That's what you say is foolproof?!" Cao Cao was also in a hurry. Although the state has long been in the bag, but the Yuan forces have not gone, after all, it is still difficult to use, this time the soldiers are mostly drawn from the already stretched defensive forces of the central headquarters, plus the newly trained cavalry in the state, it is only just 30,000 people, this is not how to lose a thousand people first, the loss or something is still second, the division is not good for the new soldiers to occupy thirty percent of the Cao army, the morale blow is fatal. Just now, Cao Cao didn't think about covering the army and rushing to kill the vanguard soldiers who supported Cao Chun in the past, but Guan Yu was also a person who knew the art of war. The vanguard soldiers who came to attack were not in love with the war, and even Cao Chun, the main general, did not chase after him when he fled, and retreated back to the pass after receiving enough benefits. It took a lot of effort to force Cao Cao's mouth to bubble up. Goodbye to the "culprit" of the judge, Cao Cao Sheng tore up the villain's mind.

"Cao Gong spares his life! Cao Gong spares his life! "If there is an order from above, there will be a follow-up to the bottom. As Cao Cao's clan and a hardcore supporter, Cao Chun saw that Cao Cao's eyes and tone were not good, and he was the one who was wronged. Bringing the examiner back is just to clarify the facts, and now I see Cao Cao like this. Suddenly realized, no longer had any scruples, pulled out the saber at his waist, and was about to cut the judge. The judge didn't know how big the disaster was this time. Although he was already sore because he was lifted all the way by Cao Chun. was intimidated by Cao Cao's killing intent again, but the desire to survive still prevailed at this time. didn't see Cao Chun's slashing blade, kowtowed like pounding garlic, and screamed loudly: "Cao Gong, the villain still has a plan, you can win the pot!" Cao Gong! Give the villain another chance! ”

"Huh?!" Cao Cao had already turned his back and let Cao Chun vent his anger on the judge to appease the army, and suddenly heard the words of the judge. But he was not moved, but his body was slightly sideways. A sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"The villain knows a path and can bypass the kettle!" Just before Cao Chun's blade was already next to the judge's neck, and Sen Han's knife aura made the judge unable to help but collapse to the ground, the judge almost used all the strength of his body and shouted loudly.

"Wait!" If Cao Chun's knife is the talisman of Hades, Cao Cao's simple two words should be the elixir of resurrection. Although Cao Chun was only eager to chop the soft puddle of mud into meat sauce at the moment, Cao Chun still knew the priority of the matter, and immediately wanted to put away the knife, but the knife was already old, and as a last resort, he could only forcibly change the knife momentum, and slashed heavily next to the head of the judge lying on the ground.

"Rubbish! Wake him up! Cao Chun's eyes were filled with disgust, and when he saw Cao Cao waiting for a reply, he turned around and instructed the soldiers around him to take the water bag he carried with him and smash it towards the judge's head.

"Hmm...... Uh...... "Although the judge is related to the trial, he has been the keeper of the pot for many years, and he is more resistant to C than the general Confucian scholars, and after being washed up, he can still stand up by himself in a half daze and half sober, but his image is a little sloppy."

"You say there's another way to bypass the kettle? Why didn't you say it before? The eyes of the judge were still in a fog, and he couldn't help but hear Cao Cao's cold words, as well as Cao Chun's murderous appearance with a saber in his hand, and he only felt a cool air rushing straight to the Tianling Gai from the tail, and he was awake when he landed, and fell to the ground with a bang, but he kept grabbing the ground with his head, and said hurriedly: "Yes, yes!" In fact, the villain also accidentally heard the hunters who live on this mountain in the villages east of Huguan say that there is indeed such a mountain road, which can bypass Huguan and go straight to Bingzhou. It's just that it was originally a sheep intestine road used by Jizhou Orion to beat the fur and barter with the border army of Jizhou, and it was okay for dozens of people to wait, whether Cao Gong's tens of thousands of heavenly soldiers could borrow that place, and the villain didn't dare to guarantee it, so he didn't say it last time. The villain is really thinking about Cao Gong and his brothers, and I hope that Cao Gong will see it! ”

"Humph! All you have to do is specify the location, and you don't have to dwell on the rest! Seeing that the judge was indeed frightened, Cao Cao motioned to Cao Chun to put away the saber, and the coldness on his face before also dissipated a lot, and he pulled the judge up with his shoulder coat, the corners of his mouth hooked slightly, and said: "Don't worry, Cao has always rewarded and punished merit, and he is not impartial!" As long as your news is true this time, not only can you ignore the failure of Huguan this time, but the previous promises to you will still work! You have to think about it slowly and carefully! I don't want to do it all over again, you know? ”

"No! Promise! Cao Cao's words made the panicked judge seem to grasp the life-saving straw, hurriedly turned over and knelt down again, took two steps on his knees like a flatterer, and said: "Don't worry, Gong Cao, you can't be wrong!" The existence of this path was only learned by the villain by chance, and even the villagers who have lived here for many years may not know about it, and it will definitely not be used by the thieves again. Villain...... The villain dares to vouch for the head of the item! Nothing could go wrong! ”

"Hah! What does so-and-so want your head to do? Your head should stay on your shoulders and enjoy the glory and wealth! Cao Cao's face became more and more mixed, the corners of his slightly curved mouth became more and more curvature, and his voice became more and more gentle, patting the shoulder of the judge who was kneeling on the ground, and said softly: "This time, let Zihe go with you!" It's just that he has a bad temper, and there may be something offensive to you in his words, so you have to be more responsible. ”

"The little one understands! Got it! I will definitely do my best to serve General Cao! Juyi looked at Cao Chun, who was looking at him angrily, with fear, how could he not understand the meaning of Cao Cao's words? If it succeeds this time, then it's easy to say anything. At most, Cao Chun will only find an opportunity to beat and insult himself on the road, but he will never hurt his life. After all, Cao Cao's goal is Jizhou, or the whole of Hebei, under the conditions of this kind of premise, he will never lose his life because of his personal likes and dislikes, and let his "first" person who took the initiative to surrender to sincerity lose his life after making great contributions! However, another meaning in Cao Cao's words is also very clear. If there is another mistake in the "information" provided this time, I'm sorry, his identity as a judge will definitely not be a "defector", maybe he will be placed on a Jizhou detailed work, and the crime of deliberately inducing Cao Jun to lose troops and generals may not be said, let alone live at that time, looking at Cao Chun's gritted teeth, plus he was almost in the ghost gate just now, maybe his trial will become a luxury when he even dies!

"Lord, this judge villain is also! Judging that there are many untruths in his words, how can he ...... "Originally, Cao Cao planned to deceive the pot and close the gate, and then lead the army to kill Jizhou directly, so he only left 3,000 auxiliary soldiers in Bingzhou as a defense of the city, and ordered Xiahoudun to bring 10,000 cavalry of Xinxun to follow, intending to set Jizhou at one time, but unexpectedly such a thing. Therefore, Xiahoudun felt a little incomprehensible about Cao Cao's opportunity to judge the ceremony, Xiahoudun had the strongest friendship with Cao Cao, and when he saw Cao Cao like this, he didn't have any scruples and asked directly.

"Is it possible that there is a better way?" For Xiahoudun, a young friend, Cao Cao's unpredictable expression when he faced the trial just now disappeared a lot, and he showed a little wry smile, and said: "This person has a roe deer's head and rat eyes, and his words are so untrue, how can he not know, but if he is faced with a choice, whether to take the lives of 30,000 brothers to fill the pot, or to gamble and believe that what this villain said is actually true, and take the smallest price in exchange for the greatest benefit, in exchange for you, how should you choose?" ”

"There is no other way! It's just that I still think that the lord is too risky this time! Xiahou pondered for a moment, and said sullenly. Cao Cao's words made Xiahoudun unable to refute at all. Xiahou has been in Bingzhou for a long time, and of course understands the importance of Huguan. Although Huguan is only a pass connecting the annexed states with Jizhou, it is actually a key point related to whether Cao Cao can seize Hebei according to the advantages of the annexed states. With Cao Cao's ability, how can he not see that at this moment, in fact, Hebei is the easiest to attack, in fact, it can be regarded as the Youzhou occupied by Gongsun Zhan, who is threatened by Gongsun Kang, in the rear! Youzhou and the state only have a narrow canyon that cannot be garrisoned as a barrier, before there was a Youzhou cavalry garrison on the other side of the canyon, easy to attack, but now because of the attack on the rear of Gongsun Zhan, most of the troops have been withdrawn, with the benefit of Xiahoudun's 10,000 cavalry, the winning side will be at least fifty percent or even more! It's just that the key is to turn the kettle off! Huguan is now under the control of Liu Bei's Guan Yu, if he learns that the state is empty because of the attack on Youzhou, God knows whether Liu Bei, who has always been good at seizing opportunities, will talk about Youzhou and take the opportunity to contact the officials of the state who have not bought Cao Cao's account until now, this big risk, it is really unbelievable! Xiahoudun gasped a few times, the feeling of holding his throat in the hands of others was really bad! It's no wonder that even if it is a risk, Cao Cao, who has always been cautious, has to take a gamble. (To be continued......)
