Cao Zhang's horse galloped on a trail at this time, which was full of dead grass and low trees, and there were a lot of flying insects, which made him very uncomfortable, but because there was a distance of nearly 500 miles to Ji County, the tiger and leopard rode at full speed and galloped only 300 miles a day, Cao Zhang could only rush all the way in order to get to the destination early.

Cao Cao's military order made it very clear that the Gutun soldiers shot dogs to meet a group of reinforcements sent by Yuan Shao, and after the rendezvous, they would go south to attack Luoyang, but Yuan Shao sent troops several times and was attacked by Cao Cao with tiger and leopard cavalry, and the march was not successful.

That is to say, if Cao Zhang and Cao Pi did not defeat Zhenggu before Yuan Shao's reinforcements arrived, then when the opponent was too strong to defeat it, this suspicious plan would not be useful, and at that time, the army of Zhenggu and Yuan Shao went straight to Luoyang, and Cao Cao's army in Liyang was in a hurry to retreat, and it would definitely be attacked by Yuan Shao's main army, and it would definitely be a heavy loss at that time.

And if Cao Zhang and Cao Pi can defeat the solid troops before Yuan Shao's reinforcements come, then the generals sent by Yuan Shao can only retreat after receiving the news, because without answering, he will definitely not dare to march rashly, and Yuan Shao will also suspect that Cao Cao intends to let Xiahoudun of Luoyang go north to seize Hanoi, and then join forces with the main force of Liyang's Cao army to fight Yuan Shao, in this case, Yuan Shao will not act rashly, which gives Cao Cao the opportunity to retreat calmly, and when Yuan Shao comes back, Cao's army has returned to the south bank.

Therefore, the task of this raid is very important, and it is also a test for Cao Zhang and Cao Pi. Cao Pi took a boat and took the waterway, and he could get to Ji County in three days, and Cao Zhang would be as fast as him for a day, but Cao Zhang needed a day of rest by land, and Cao Pi's army could rest on the boat, and he could march when he got off the boat, so the speed of the two could be said to be the same, which was also the reason why Cao Zhang and the tiger and leopard rode all the way.

After resting in the mountains and fields for a day, Cao Zhang came all the way to thirty miles outside Ji County, because the Hanoi Taishou was infighting one after another, first Zhang Yang died, and then Yang Chou died, and his sergeants had dispersed a lot after several chaos.

In addition, there are bandits supported by the Sima clan in Hanoi, as well as the self-reliant peasant leader Zhang Yan, a Montenegrin thief, the power is intertwined, and the sergeants are not the only choice to be solid, so many scattered sergeants either went to take refuge in the thieves supported by the Sima clan or took refuge in the Montenegrin thief Zhang Yan, the local control is very loose, and the villages outside Ji County have long been looted, and there are no people, so Cao Zhang and Cao Xiu took the tiger and leopard to ride in an abandoned village to rest, and at the same time sent twenty horsemen to take turns cruising on the riverbank to meet Cao Pi's warship.

In addition, Cao Zhang sent five teams of knights, each team of five people, to put their horses and hide around the village to guard, and at the same time ordered the soldiers not to light fires, but to eat the Hu cakes they carried with them, so as to minimize the chance of being discovered.

Although the village was abandoned, there were still houses, Cao Zhang chose a house to rest, but was woken up by Cao Xiu in a daze, and it turned out that the tiger and leopard riders who were guarding outside the village caught a group of witches.

During the Han Dynasty, there were witches everywhere, and the duty in the palace was to worship heaven and earth, remove disasters and evils, and pray for good weather and rain, but the local witches were not the same, local officials and large families would also raise witches, in addition to doing some of the above things, there was another duty, that is, to do the enlightenment education of men and women for the children in the clan, to put it bluntly, their duties were similar to those of the camp prostitutes, just a service non-commissioned officer, a service family children.

Because it is to serve the children of the family, the general posture of the witch is better than that of the camp prostitute, and most of them have been raised since childhood, teaching etiquette, and having fun with men and women, Cao Zhang asked Cao Cao to send someone to teach Cao Xian some ways to please men, and Cao Cao sent a witch to teach.

Hearing that it was a witch girl who was arrested, Cao Zhang was not surprised, the witches all lived in large households, I think it was because the big families were copied by the rogues or homeless, these witches took advantage of the chaos to escape, did not fall into the clutches of the rogues, and Cao Cao marched in the past, this kind of thing also happened from time to time, but Cao Cao picked a few good ones after he was caught, and the others were used as camp prostitutes, and now Cao Zhang wants to hide his whereabouts, and the war is imminent, and the soldiers can't be indulged, so Cao Zhang decided to kill them.

So Cao Chang didn't hesitate to say his thoughts, but Cao Xiu said when he heard this: "Third prince, I asked these witches just now, they are the witches in Hanoi's Taishou Zhang Yang Mansion, and later they ran out of shooting dogs, maybe we can get military planes from them." ”

"Huh? I see, you can run out of the shooting dog? Hey! Military? Well, let them be brought in! No, just outside the door, I can't wait to light a fire, just judge them in the moonlight. Cao Zhang said.

Cao Xiu heard the words and left, not long after, he took five tigers and leopards to ride thirteen witches to the outside of the house, the witch's clothes are not the same as the ordinary women's fairy skirt, for the hakama pleated skirt, the top is slightly shorter, the skirt is tied to the upper waist, there are folds, this kind of witch costume was transmitted to Japan in the Wei and Jin dynasties, and then the Japanese witch costume is to follow the style of the Han Dynasty's witch costume, it is because of the special costume, so Cao Xiu can recognize it at a glance.

Cao Zhang looked at the thirteen witches for a while, although they were unkempt and ragged because they had been walking for too long, but if they looked closely, they were indeed more beautiful than the camp prostitutes, the older ones were only in their early twenties, and the youngest one might only be twelve years old, Cao Zhang secretly shook his head, he came out to bring the camp prostitutes to stimulate morale, and to take the witches was to have fun on his own! It is estimated that the younger brother has been doing it for a long time, and he has never seen a beautiful woman, so he brought so many out at once.

He asked, "How did you escape?" ”

One of them was quite attractive, and the eldest witch replied, "The dog shooting camp was attacked by the Black Mountain bandits, and we took advantage of the chaos to escape. ”

Cao Zhang was stunned when he heard this, and asked, "Is Su Gu dead?" ”

The witch said: "The witch is dead, and now the shooting dog has been occupied by the Black Mountain thieves!" ”

Cao Chang glanced at Cao Xiu, Cao Xiu sneered and pulled out the ring head knife and beheaded the witch who spoke, the witch's head rolled to the ground, blood spurted out, and some spilled on the remaining twelve witches, those witches screamed for a moment, and then the sound of unsheathing, five tigers and leopards rode and hacked to death all the women who screamed, and the screams stopped abruptly, very short.

At this time, there were only three witches left who did not speak, obviously frightened silly, Cao Zhang took the ring knife in Cao Xiu's hand and hacked two witches to death, leaving only the youngest witch, the witch was obviously frightened stupid, her head was lowered and trembling, holding her bent legs with both hands, looking extremely pitiful.

However, Cao Zhang, who had killed people, would not pity the jade, he pressed the blade of the knife against the little face of the witch and said coldly: "Take advantage of the chaos to escape, and you also know that the shooting dog is occupied by the black mountain thieves?" A few weak female streams, can they hide from the Black Mountain thieves without horses? Such a clumsy plan to lure the enemy can only be imagined by fools like Zheng Gu, you better tell me the truth now, or I will cut off the tender flesh on your body piece by piece! ”
