When the guard heard Cao Pi's order, he said, "Do you want to tell Taishou first?"

Cao Zhen immediately shouted: "Bold! Do you know who is in that group? There is a concubine of our son! If anything happens to her, you'll be the first to go to the funeral! "Although Cao Zhen is only twelve years old now, it can be seen from the time he grabbed the rout and shouted at the guards that this kid was born a commander and was very deterrent. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Hearing Cao Zhen's roar, the guard immediately stopped saying a word, and left quickly to find a bow for Cao Pi.

Cao Pi stepped forward and said to the other four disciples of the Divine Envoy Camp: "There are a few brothers who will run with me again." "Cao Pi is used to calling the people of the Divine Envoy Camp brothers, the reason is that these members were all children of the Cao family and the Xiahou family before, and they were somewhat related to Cao Pi, and later the Wei family joined, Cao Pi is not good at favoring one over the other, and is still called so, after all, the Wei family is also one of the first families to follow Cao Cao.

The four of them said one after another: "If the robe is in trouble, take it as it is." ”

Cao Zhen looked at the county lieutenant on the ground, frowned, and said: "The brothers in our camp all have mounts, and they are all children of the clan, everyone has a bow, and they have arrows in the military tun, it should not be difficult to get out of the hundreds of men with flying stone ropes, why did this group of people return to the military tun first?" ”

Cao Pi sighed and said, "Those thieves are asking for horses. Now the passes of Shanyang County have set up sentry posts, only to the south and east there are no sentry points, but the south is Yuzhou, the east is Xuzhou, everyone has the edict, I don't know how many soldiers, county soldiers, and village warriors are waiting for them, so they can only impact the pass of Shanyang to Qingzhou, and it is always easier to take a mount to impact the pass. ”

When Cao Zhen heard this, he kicked the county lieutenant on the ground again and said angrily: "Yes and no! ”

The county lieutenant snorted bitterly and replied, "The leader of the big man did say: Grandpa only needs the horse and the girl, and irrelevant people will dodge." ”

Cao Zhen was furious, and kicked the county lieutenant again: "So you and the others dodged away?" What kind of county lieutenant are you still doing! "After that, I will reward the man with a punch and kick.

Cao Pi grabbed Cao Zhen and said: "Forget it, this Shanyang County is not a border county, the county soldiers have no responsibility to defend the border, they are all negligent in drilling, and the captain can still be stoned to death, let alone a county order." At this time, the guard brought arrows and Cao Pi's horse with a dozen people, and gave Cao Pi a spear, Cao Pi took it and immediately got on the horse, hung the eight-sided Han sword "Yan" that was originally hanging on the horse to his waist, and took Cao Zhen out of the army.

When they arrived at the gate of Dejuntun, they found that there were still a group of village warriors and county soldiers sitting there, and their bodies were more or less bruised and lumped by stones.

Cao Pi asked, "Where were you attacked?" ”

A villager replied: "On the galloping road fifteen miles southeast of JX County." ”

Cao Pi knew the location, and then took Cao Zhen and his party to ride away. Cao Pi said to Cao Zhen while galloping: "Brother Xian, when you encounter that group of thieves, you will first wander outside, shoot and kill, we have enough arrows, whether they have armor or not, just the five of us can disrupt their formation." ”

Cao Zhen nodded and said, "That's right! The tigress must not have been captured yet, and I guess she must have retreated with her brothers from the Divine Envoy Battalion and some of the county soldiers and village warriors who fought to the death, otherwise others would not dare to say it, and she would have been able to escape with her martial arts and the horse lance in her hand. When we are in front of them, and we are in front of them, and the thieves will die! ”

JX County is thirty miles east of Changyi, except for JX County, you can enter the Yimeng Mountain Range and then run into Qingzhou, of course, now the road into the mountain has been blocked by the people of the Divine Envoy Camp, unless they choose the barren ridge without human traffic into the mountain, otherwise they will inevitably be blocked, in the case of no supply at all, when the winter enters the beast rampant, the terrain is complex Enlightenment Mountain, not to mention two hundred people, a thousand people are also more auspicious.

The five people Cao Pi brought with him all had mounts, so when they arrived near JX County, it was just near dusk, and the sky was still quite bright, and they had already arrived at the battlefield at this time. There were many corpses lying on the gallop road, only a few were smashed by stones and died, many more were killed by spears, some were shot by arrows, and some were hacked to death by ring swords. The most special thing is that there is a bowl-sized hole in the chest of two people, and the dried blood stains have turned into a large black lump under the two of them.

"Tut-tut, this is the wound of the horse lance! Awesome! Such a big opening must have been with the help of the horse's momentum, and the tigress had good riding skills. Seeing the corpses all over the ground, twelve-year-old Cao Zhen was not afraid at all, but commented on it.

"These few people who were hacked to death by the ring head knife were actually the county soldiers of SY County, although their clothes were pulled off, but they were obviously cleaner than the deserters, it seems that the tigress really retreated with the county soldiers and village warriors who fought to the death."

Immediately, a Cao disciple asked: "Tun Chief, why did the county soldiers who were killed by Huanshou Dao retreat with Xiang Yong?" ”

Cao Zhen glared at the young man and sighed, "I've taught you to read early!" Don't you know Sikong's "Foot Battle Order"?"

The boy replied, "Yes! : If there is one in the army who does not enter, the captain will kill them; If there is a person who does not enter, even the chief will kill him; If there is a person who does not enter, the tun chief will kill him. Supervise the war generals, draw the blade in the rear, and those who do not enter the order will be beheaded. But what do these county soldiers know about the "Infantry Battle Order"" Seeing Cao Zhen looking at him with disdain, he suddenly said: "It's our brothers in the Divine Envoy Battalion who saw that there were too many deserters, so they beheaded them and shocked these people!" ”

Cao Zhen nodded and said, "Yes! And it's very orderly! You look at the guys who were killed by the bow and arrow, each of them had a flying stone rope in their hand, and their arms were very strong, obviously the strength of the arm, and our brothers shot these few stones far away, and they could use their bows and arrows to deter the thieves, and then they fought and retreated. ”

There is no doubt that Cao Zhen, a kid, has done his homework with Xiahou Yuan. Cao Pi said: "If it were me, I would take this group of people to a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack to stalemate with the thieves, rest for a while, boost morale, and fight again." ”

Cao Zhen nodded and said: "What my brother said is extremely true, this group of people wants horses, then it must have spread out in a half-moon shape at that time, blocking the route of our brother's breakthrough, so the situation at that time could only try to keep the people who could fight and retreat into a place like a canyon or valley." Deterring them with bows and arrows, after all, the longer it drags on, the more disadvantageous it will be to the thieves, and this is still our place. ”

Cao Pi thought back to the map that Liu Hong had shown him, and then it occurred to him that there was only one place near JX County that met the criteria of being easy to defend and difficult to attack, and that was a small village surrounded by a river. Thinking about this, Cao Pihe said: "Come with me, and ride away first." ”
