Wancheng, Cao Cao had a head wind attack, and he had not yet gone to bed, and the head wind attack was particularly severe, Cao Cao, who was in pain, rolled all over the bed, and the maid on his side was helpless, even the medical officer who accompanied the army was helpless to stand aside.

After a long time, the feeling of a splitting headache slowly left, the maids served the decoction, and Cao Cao opened his mouth to drink it, but he felt a palpitation in his heart inexplicably, and he was very sad for no reason.

"But has something happened?" Cao Cao muttered to himself.

"Prime Minister, nothing has happened! There was no urgent message from outside! An insider replied slowly.

Cao Cao shook his head, as if he wanted to drive away such a sad thought: "Well, it's rare to be idle today, the head wind has just passed, I'll sleep for a while!" If there's an urgent letter, you have to wake me up! ”

The internal official's face turned pale when he heard this, and he slowly responded: "Oh! "The internal officials on the side of the prime minister all know about the prime minister's murder in his sleep, whenever the prime minister is asleep, someone is close to him, Cao Cao will draw his sword and kill him.

When the internal official heard that Cao Cao wanted him to wake him up, his face turned pale with horror, and when Cao Cao fell asleep, the inner servant was so frightened that his legs trembled and slowly retreated.

Cao Cao didn't know that he had a casual order, but he made this inner servant of heaven fight, and he was terrified.

Lejin's letter will not arrive in Wancheng so soon, but the things he has to face will still have to be faced after all, Nanxiang is thirty miles away, as soon as the day dawns, he will drive to Nanxiang, all kinds of signs indicate that the mysterious military horse is in Nanxiang.

Deng Ai was also woken up by the deputy general Han Ping while he was still asleep, and the scouts sent back the news that Lejin was stationed at the abandoned camp of Xiahou Yuan thirty miles away.

This means that tomorrow, he will have to fight with Lejin's people. Tomorrow at noon, the cavalry will arrive at the city, and in the afternoon, Lejin's brigade will arrive near the left side of Nanxiang City.

Deng Ai ordered the city head to leave the necessary guard troops, and the rest of the military horses seized the time to rest. Let all the scouts go out of the city, and be vigilant in case the opponent attacks at night.

Deng Ai finished ordering, but he slowly fell on the bed. After a long time to sleep, Han Ping slowly shook his head, this Deng Shizai is really bold, the enemy is close to the left, and he still has the heart to sleep, you must know that the enemy army only needs a rapid march to reach the city in the middle of the night and launch a surprise attack.

But Deng Ai is so calm, what can people do?

Han Ping shook Deng Ai: "Shizai, if the opponent is a night attack." What should I do? ”

Deng Ai got up helplessly and said: "Knowing oneself and knowing that the other side has won a hundred battles, General Cao Jun is happy to enter his people Although he is resolute, he is rigid and emotional, tonight." He must mourn for Xiahou Yuan, how could he attack me? ”

Han Ping looked at Deng Ai suspiciously, Deng Ai was not good at words, just a few words lightly, how could Han Ping dare to believe it?

Deng Ai looked at Han Ping's expression and said helplessly: "If the public is not at ease, it is better to lead more than a thousand military horses to guard the city." If the enemy comes to attack, it will ruin the enemy's plan, how about it? ”

Han Ping got up with confidence and left quickly.

Han Ping led more than 1,000 military horses to guard the city all night, but he didn't see half a figure and stayed until dawn. Cao Jun really didn't come, and at this time, Han Ping was even more shocked by Deng Ai's clever calculation, and went to Deng Ai's residence with red bloodshot eyes. The sound of the urn said angrily: "Shizai is really clever!" ”

Deng Ai laughed and said: "You kid only knows how to calculate others, but you don't take General Huo's words to heart, and if you want to win a battle in vain, the first thing you need to understand is the temperament and habits of the enemy's commander, as well as the examples of his past battles, so that you can be one step ahead of the enemy and grasp the opportunity!" ”

Han Ping Hao Ran said with a smile: "Every time I listen to General Huo, it is so easy, but when it comes to doing, it is not so easy, above the battle array, the mind is nervous, and the situation is complicated, how can you notice such things?" ”

Deng Ai shook his head angrily, he really didn't know what to say: "You go and rest quickly, Cao Jun is afraid that he will arrive at noon, and he is afraid that he will try to attack the city in the afternoon." If you have enough strength, you can fight the enemy, right? Otherwise, I am the only one in the city, and I can't take care of my three heads and six arms! ”

Han Ping nodded honestly and slowly walked out of Deng Ai's residence.

When Han Ping went out, Deng Ai frowned, after all, Lejin has 30,000 troops and horses, and the army is huge, although he is defending the city without worry, but after a long time, it is inevitable that something will go wrong. I don't know where my own General Huo has arrived at this moment?

If the calculation is good, it should have just taken Deng County at this moment. According to Deng Ai's prediction, the Jingzhou army had the initiative in the war, and the most optimistic estimate at the moment was only to take the Atoushan position and advance to the area of Deng County. And he didn't expect that Cao Jun actually knew the intention of the Jingzhou army and took the initiative to retreat.

And the progress of the Jingzhou army is also extremely smooth, and at this moment, there are already military horses in the starry night, going straight to Nanxiang to help themselves. In Deng Ai's heart, he must persist in Nanxiang for more than three months before it is possible to defeat Lejin's people.

At noon, several horsemen entered Nanxiang City, and the head was the scout leader under Deng Ai, the captain Yu Le, Yu Le got off his horse and hurriedly went up to the city tower, and Deng Ai was waiting for his return at the head of the city at this moment.

Yu Le arrived in front of Deng Ai and gave a military salute: "General! Here it comes! At most, the vanguard cavalry of the enemy army will appear in the field of vision of our army! The infantry is behind, but not slow, and it's not far from here! It is estimated that there are more than 10,000 cavalry, nearly 20,000 foot soldiers, and the grain and grass are neat! ”

Deng Ai nodded and looked at Yu Le: "Go down and rest, these two days have really worked hard for all the brothers!" ”

Yu Le clenched his fists again: "The last general will be divided!" But he turned and left.

Han Ping was already resting, watching Yu Le leave, and muttered slowly: "It's all like Ye Youming's mold carved out, gloomy, and there are few words, not a good bird!" ”

Deng Ai shook his head helplessly: "Like you Han has a big mouth?" What other scouts pay attention to is that they are as silent as gold, and General Huo praises you for your wit? How I didn't see it! ”

Deng Ai used to be stuttering, and he always paid attention to a speech with remarkable results, but as soon as this came out, Han Ping, who was sarcastic, couldn't say a word, just a simple smirk.

Deng Ai kept shaking his head, he really didn't see that this Han Ping had a trace of qualifications to become the main general of the Dire Battalion, except for the occasional strange ghost scheme, a good tendon and meat, and two passable martial arts.

In fact, since Deng Ai came, Han Ping has rarely used his brain, so that his brain is becoming more and more insufficient, and he is often ridiculed by Deng Ai, which can be regarded as one of the few entertainment between the two.

Not long after, the smoke and dust rose in the distance, a group of cavalry was noisy, and there were more than 10,000 cavalry galloping on the plain, giving people the pressure that can be imagined, and there were many private soldiers of the three major families as auxiliaries at the head of the city, but at this moment everyone was pale.

Jing Nanjun looked at these private soldiers who were no different from the people, but they were very disdainful, unlike these people, the armor soldiers of Jing Nanjun were full of war intent on their faces at the moment.

The northern cavalry is known as invincible, but he has been repeatedly deflated in the hands of the Jingnan army, and in the eyes of the Jingnan army, even the tiger and leopard cavalry can be defeated, let alone others.

The more than 10,000 cavalry opened a formation in the north of Nanxiang City, and more than 10,000 people lined up, but they were also murderous, these cavalry sat on horses, quietly waiting for something. After a long time, smoke and dust rolled up behind those cavalry, and a larger infantry formation appeared in the north of Nanxiang City.

Deng Ai exhaled slowly, and Cao Jun finally came.

When Le Jin arrived at the city, he immediately ordered the cavalry to be on guard, and the infantry went down the village several miles away, and when it was evening, the camp was finally decided, and the military horses from all over the place immediately entered the camp. It seems that Cao Jun is planning to spend a long time with this group.

The sun was slanting westward, a team of horsemen galloped out of Cao's military camp, went straight to Nanxiang City, and arrived at the place of the arrow under the city, the leader of the person opened his bow and set up an arrow, and a cold light flew to the head of the city, and a Jingnan military captain pulled out the arrow shot at the gatehouse, and took a look, but saw a letter on the arrow.

The lieutenant hurriedly handed the letter to Deng Ai in the city tower, Deng Ai slowly opened the letter and read it, but after a while, he laughed out loud. Han Ping frowned and looked at Deng Ai, but he didn't know what Deng Ai was crazy about. What a giggle.
