In the Qianhu official hall, Cao Wenzhao sat on Xiao Yi's seat, and standing proudly beside him was his younger brother Cao Wenyao, who was also a mighty man. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Cao Wenyao didn't understand very much, Cao Wenzhao passed through many state cities along the way, and the acropolis was hurried without even entering the city, looking urgent, but since crossing the Sanggan River, the march began to be unhurried.

But he also felt that this place was different from other places, not to mention that the people in other places were full of numbness, in tattered clothes, and which of the towns he passed by was not a dumped field, and there were few pedestrians on the road?

But when I arrived at the territory of Yong'an Fort and Changning Town, as soon as I entered, I saw several eye-catching piers.

Cao Wenyao and the others had never seen these piers before, and each of those piers was guarded by an officer and soldier wearing armor, they did not squint, even if they saw themselves and others coming, they still did not make any movement.

Both sides of the official road are full of fine farmland, and there are many people happily cultivating the fields.

Cao Wenyao couldn't help but sigh: This is simply a paradise.

Cao Wenyao even thought that he had come to the wrong place, he also wanted to meet Shangguan here, and when he saw Xiao Yi in front of them at this time, he was also looking carefully.

The three thousand Guanning cavalry temporarily camped outside the city, and after Cao Wenzhao entered the city, he was even more impressed by Xiao Yi.

Originally, he thought that the people accompanying him were Xiao Yi's family members, but when he arrived in the city, he found that all the officers and soldiers here were like this.

Everyone is well-armored and bright, and Cao Wenzhao can naturally see the aura emanating from these people after a long battle, which is naturally not comparable to the rats in other places.

The city is clean and tidy, and the people are laughing and welcoming each other, this kind of thing Cao Wenzhao has not seen for a long time.

He was very satisfied at this time, laughed and stepped down from his seat, patted Xiao Yi's shoulder heavily, and said, "If you really deserve to be recommended by Lu Du, you should be extraordinary!" ”

Xiao was also shocked, Lu Xiangsheng?!

It turned out that Cao Wenzhao came here to be entrusted by Lu Xiangsheng, and Xiao Yi asked in surprise: "It's been more than half a year since I parted with Lu Du Jingshi, and I don't know how Lu Du is doing recently?" ”

Cao Wenzhao's previous appearance was all for Xiao Yi to see, and when he saw all the things in this Peach Blossom Castle, he couldn't hold back his mood anymore.

He looked at Xiao Yihe and said, "I was here to suppress bandits by the emperor's order, and I was entrusted by Lu Du to bring a letter to you. ”

Saying that, he carefully took out a letter from the inner armor, Xiao Yi quickly took it and opened it on the spot, looking at Xiao Yi's anxious appearance, Cao Wenzhao and Cao Wenyao looked at each other and laughed.

And Shi Gang, Huang Yang and the others below were all surprised when they heard Lu Xiangsheng's news, and they were also happy in their hearts, Lu Xiangsheng actually did not forget these old brothers who had fought together in Deshengmen.

Xiao Yi opened the letter, and what caught his eye was a column of vigorous and powerful characters, which was written by Lu Xiangsheng at first sight, and he read it word for word, and the smile on his face could not be suppressed.

He smiled at Cao Wenzhao and said, "General Cao might as well stay a little longer before leaving?" ”

When Cao Wenzhao talked about this, he and Cao Wenyao turned into a smile at the same time, and he sighed: "No, if it wasn't for Lu Du's entrustment, I wouldn't have come here, so I'll leave!" ”

As he spoke, he strode towards the door, Xiao Yi couldn't let Cao Wenzhao leave like this, at this time he said loudly: "Cao Zongbing stays!" ”

Cao Wenzhao snorted, looked back at Xiao Yi, and grinned: "What else is the matter with Brother Xiao?" ”

I only heard Xiao Yi say: "I am willing to lead my troops to follow General Cao to destroy the thieves!" ”

After hearing this, Cao Wenzhao said, "Oh? sighed, then smiled, and said: "Still no, Brother Xiao just needs to guard this Peach Blossom Castle!" ”

Hearing Cao Wenzhao's answer without hesitation, Shi Lu knew Xiao Yi's thoughts, and his heart tightened, but he was just a management team, and speaking at this time could only embarrass Xiao Yi, and he could only look at Xiao Yi nervously.

Xiao Yi saw that Cao Wenzhao's eyes showed a little contempt, and he was also a little uncomfortable, he also changed his previous respect, and said lightly: "Didn't General Cao think that the Yong'an Army was not enough to go into battle?" ”

Cao Wenzhao slammed his steps, and he said without looking back: "Brother Xiao, it's not that I look down on him, it's already very good that my brother can do this, but although those peasant armies are like chickens and dogs in my eyes, but..."

What Cao Wenzhao said was already very clear, and Xiao Yixin said sure enough.

His heart changed a lot, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Please also ask General Cao to give the officers and men of the Yongan Army a chance to prove themselves!" ”

Cao Wenzhao suddenly turned around, stared at Xiao Yi for a while, and when he saw Xiao Yi's unflinching eyes, he said hello: "Then let's start quickly!" ”

After saying that, he walked out of the lobby, and after Xiao Yi saw Cao Wenzhao and the two of them walk out, he glanced at the Huangyang people behind him, and they were all very surprised by Xiao Yi's decision.

……

As soon as Ge San came out of the gate, he saw the lively scene outside, and he couldn't figure it out at the moment, and when he asked, he knew that Cao Wenzhao had actually come to Peach Blossom Castle!

Ask again is another shocking news, Xiao Yi's Yong'an Army actually wants to compete with Guan Ningjun?!

Ge San saw the pedestrians running by in a hurry on the street, he didn't know if he could catch up with the second time in his life, of course, he wanted to go and see, and he called his family officer at the moment, and the two of them ran out of the fort with chairs.

The military camp in Taohuabao can only accommodate about 1,000 people at most, and due to the large number of Guanning troops, the competition site was placed in the school field a few miles away.

Xiao Yi meant that he could go on the road as soon as possible after the competition there, and Cao Wenzhao also agreed.

At this time, more than 3,000 soldiers from the three sentinels of the Yong'an Army and the Guanning Army gathered in the school grounds, and there were pedestrians and people from all over the place, which blocked the water here.

Ge San and the others were taken aback when they came here, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as a sea of people, so they hurriedly squeezed in with their own family officers, and finally squeezed to the front.

His mouth couldn't close anymore, and the applause in the school field was a film, the scene was extremely noisy, on the left was a piece of the Guan Ning Army under black pressure, and on the right was the people of the Yongan Army, none of them were convinced, and everyone was applauding the two people in the field.

I saw two people in the field, one was covered in black iron armor, and the stainless steel tiger gun in his hand was the Guan Ning Army commander Chi Deng personally selected by Cao Wenzhao, and the other person was Zhou Baotai, the deputy armor commander of the Yongan Army.

Zhou Baotai was meritorious in quelling the chaos last time, and was promoted to the deputy commander of the Yong'an Army, at this time he was wearing the fine armor of the Yong'an Army, his hat and helmet were shining in the sunlight, and in his hand was the stainless steel tiger gun that Liu Tong handed over to him that was captured from the Houjin cavalry.

Zhou Baotai was even more nervous than the last time he competed with Liu Sheng, and he was surprised that Xiao Yi had entrusted him with such a heavy responsibility.

After being surprised, he was deeply grateful, grateful to Xiao Yi for his trust in him, at this time, he only had Chi Deng himself in front of him, and he had nothing to do with Ning Jun.

He clenched the tiger gun in his hand and looked at Ji Deng with pressed eyes.

He felt the trust of Liu Sheng and many Yong'an Army brothers in him, he had been deeply fond of the days there since he entered the Yong'an Army, and he knew that it represented the expectations of the entire Yong'an Army brothers, and he vowed to win!

Xiao Yi also chose Zhou Baotai with his own considerations, all the soldiers in Guanning are tough men, but they all have one problem, that is, disdain for the officers and soldiers!

Xiao Yida can take advantage of this disdain, Shi Gang, Shi Lu, and Huang Yang are not good at horse fighting, so they will naturally not consider it, and although Wang Dayong has experience, he is not good at this kind of heavy horse and heavy armor battle.

At this time, he could only send Zhou Baotai, Zhou Baotai's superb equestrian skills were already a fact, and Xiao Yi always felt that Zhou Baotai did not use all his strength in the battle against Liu Sheng.

At this time, he stared at Zhou Baotai in the field, his hands were full of fine sweat, and Xiao Yi's psychology was more nervous than Zhou Baotai.

And Cao Wenzhao and Cao Wenyao were riding on horses and pointing at the two people in the field.

The Guan Ningjun looked at Zhou Baotai in front of him, and his big eyes flashed with deep disdain.

He mounted his horse and ran around the Guanning cavalry watching the battle, the tiger spear in his hand slapped on their swords and guns, and the sonorous sound and shouting were endless, and the Guanning cavalry seemed to have regarded this as a show rather than a battle. (To be continued.) )
