Cao Pi took the edict with a sword, a horned bow, and arrows. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info led Lu Lingqi and Gao Shun to Juntun to meet with the children of the Divine Envoy Camp, and then went to Ren Jun to get dried meat and Hu cakes, the same as last time, because supplies can be supplied along the way, so Cao Pi did not plan to take the people to transport grain, the key to chasing and suppressing the deserters is in a quick word, not to mention that most of these deserters are unarmed people, and if they are caught, they will be thrown into the nearby counties to take care of them, there is no need to make it like a march.

When he was withdrawing the marching rations and water skins with Ren Jun, Cao Pi saw Ren Jun's eldest son Ren Lan, and it turned out that he had also received an edict asking him to draw 500 soldiers from the 1,000 Northern Army soldiers who stayed in Xudu and lead him to Chenliu to pursue and suppress the deserters.

The two met and talked for a long time, Ren Lan gave Cao Pi a marching skin filled with water, this thing was last time he went to Yanzhou, Cao Pi had already taken one from Ren Jun, and now he got another one, Cao Pi felt useless, so he gave it to Lu Lingqi beside him when he was marching.

Lu Lingqi glanced at the skin bag and handed it to Gao Shun, and said: "The son is pampered, I don't know that the most important thing when marching is water, I still have three skins hanging immediately, the son is too much, I will give it to General Gao." ”

Cao Pi laughed and said: "You are a native of the Northland, and you are used to bringing a few skins with water, but in the Central Plains, there are water sources everywhere, why do you need to be like this!" ”

At this time, Xiahou Ba rode his horse to catch up with Cao Pi, and said worriedly: "Gongzi now Sikong Mansion has ordered the county soldiers and manor guards to pursue and suppress the rout on their own, and those who catch a war horse will be rewarded with three thousand yuan, and those who pack a horse will be rewarded with one thousand yuan, and those who are injured in a belt of armor will be rewarded with five hundred yuan, and those without armor will be rewarded with five hundred yuan. The weapons are all farm tools with old weapons, and they have no combat power. If these people are scattered by the people for their rewards, it is not a strange thing that a county will fall. Back then, the Qingzhou Yellow Turban thieves ravaged Yanzhou, almost turning Yanzhou upside down, but it was only 300,000 people, not even less than that, relying on the large number of people. Now there are 400,000 people who crossed the river at the beginning of Yuan, and it is common to encounter a large number of defeated soldiers. ”

Xiahou Ba is now at the time of growing his body, after a few months of training, he has grown more and more stout, only a year later, at least five centimeters, has broken through 175 centimeters, higher than Lu Lingqi, plus this year he is 15 years old, and he has a crown ceremony.

But it seems that he has long flesh and no brains, and his brain is not very useful, and when he said his worries, Cao Zhen, who was a little behind, kept snickering. Gao Shun on the side also smiled silently.

Thinking of slapping Cao Zhen, who is still 12 years old, in the face is a bit of a loss of face, so Cao Pi said to Gao Shun: "Does General Gao think that this Zhongquan brother's worries can be solved?" ”

Gao Shun arched his hand on the horse and said: "Hui Gongzi, as soon as I come, there are still their families among the Yellow Turban thieves in Qingzhou, and they will work hard to get a place to live if they die, but the routs of the Yuan army are all in the north of the river, and they will inevitably run away when they encounter those township warriors and county soldiers who take them as rewards." It doesn't matter if those people are carrying farm tools or weapons. Second, in the battle of Guandu, Sikong used troops like a god, and had already killed their commander to a great defeat, this group of people who transported the baggage were not sergeants, they belonged to drills, and the morale of the soldiers was bound to collapse after the defeat, and there would be no courage to fight again, not to mention that Yuan Benchu had returned to the north, and this group of abandoned people had only one way to surrender in addition to fleeing. There is a good saying: the soul of the soldier will not be the soul of the people? The soul is scattered, how can you resist? Third, this group of people fled in three directions, some ran west to Luoyang, some went east along the big river directly into Qingzhou, and some ran blindly to Yuzhou and Yanzhou in the south. ”

Every time Gao Shun said a word, Cao Zhen's smile was one point less, and Xiahou Ba's admiration was one point more, but Lu Lingqi's face was as usual. After Gao Shun finished speaking, Xiahou Ba arched his hand at Gao Shun and said, "Thank you General Gao, Ba has been taught." With that, he rode back to the front of his army.

Lu Lingqi sighed and said to Gao Shun: "If my father let the general take charge of the army, he would not have been defeated from Chang'an to Xuzhou." ”

Gao Shun said solemnly: "The son-in-law's words are ridiculous, although Shun can see the situation clearly but is not the person in charge of the army, that day and Sikong fought in Pengcheng, only to understand why Sikong can win a hundred battles, I am trapped in the camp If you say that foot combat can be said to be unparalleled in the world, even in the face of 10,000 sergeants have been able to open a gap!" However, he was blocked out of the ranks of the people by Sikong, although the soldiers under Sikong were not as good as me, but they were well-founded, and the sergeants were like a wave between advancing and retreating, so that although I had strong soldiers, I couldn't open a hole. ”

Speaking of this, Gao Shun sighed, and said dejectedly: "What's more, General Wenyuan of Japan is attacking with me, if it is said that under the command of Wenhou, I only serve Wenyuan, and neither of us can break through, what if I lead another army?" ”

At this time, Cao Zhen stepped forward and grabbed Cao Pi's reins for dozens of zhang, rode his horse side by side with Cao Pi, and whispered: "If my brother wants my brother to lead the troops in the future, this Gao Shun is not too old to fight, so you must give him to me." ”

Cao Pi and Cao Zhen have a deep relationship, and now they are the eldest sons, Cao Zhen couldn't guess that the person who will be in power in the future is Cao Pi, so he directly said that if Cao Pi asked him to lead the troops, he had no scruples, Cao Pi glanced at Gao Shun and smiled: "This person is now hanging Sima of the Northern Army's Xiao Cavalry Battalion, Bo Ying said that his recorded age is thirty-one years old, if there is no illness, there is a chance for him to fight side by side with the virtuous brother." ”

Cao Zhen laughed: "This person is not bad, not only does he know the art of war, but also knows how much he is capable of, this kind of person rarely makes mistakes." ”

Cao Pi glanced at Cao Zhen's tuomu bow and arrows hanging behind his back and smiled: "This tuomu bow is a bit small!" Adults can't use it, it's made for women and teenagers, and the craftsmanship is excellent, is it prepared by Uncle Miaocai for his virtuous brother? ”

Cao Zhen suddenly remembered something when he heard this, patted his head, and shouted: "Oops! I almost forgot! After speaking, he took off the Tuomu bow on his back, which was shorter than the ordinary Tuomu Bow, handed it to Cao Pi and said, "Brother, have you changed the horn bow on your back with me?" ”

Cao Pi smiled and said: "Forget it, a gentleman doesn't take advantage of others, this is your bow, you just take it, you and my brother, don't play these vains." ”

Cao Zhen smiled bitterly: "If it is really the younger brother's, the younger brother will not be like this, how can the elder brother be a person who can please the way of drilling the camp, this thing was transferred to the elder brother by others, but if he gave it to the elder brother, the younger brother will have no bow, and he will propose to change the bow." ”

"Oh? Who's sending it? ”

"Uncle Miaocai's son-in-law."
