When Yang Zilu announced that the safari bell would leave the city, Cai Guo immediately became nervous. Even Cai Chenghou asked the doctor in a gaffe: "What should I do now?" What should I do? ”

And it happened when Yang Zilu didn't bring many soldiers and horses to Zhongli City for hunting, and Yang Zilu only brought 3,000 infantry and 500 cavalry. Yang Zilu even suspected that if he brought tens of thousands of troops, Cai Guo would surrender without a fight.

Of course, the reason why there is such an effect is because of the name Yang Zilu, which makes Cai Guo so nervous. Since Yang Zilu was born, he has been invincible and invincible. In just six years, it has expanded from a Han country trapped in the mountains to a large country that spans thousands of miles, and Yang Zilu's military attainments can be imagined.

Cai Chenghou didn't think that a thousand soldiers and horses were in the hands of Yang Zilu, but he would give full play to the ability of a thousand soldiers and horses.

Even after a night of tossing and turning, Cai Chenghou felt that although Yang Zilu did not bring many soldiers and horses, it was enough to make Cai Guo perish! Marquis Cai immediately sent a doctor to the state of Chu to ask for assistance.

After Ye Gong received Cai Chenghou's request for help, he immediately cried and laughed, but there are three thousand five hundred people, that is, one-tenth of your Cai country, and there is a city to rely on, he is actually afraid of being like this, it is really mud that can't support the wall. But he is also an ally, so Ye Gong did not be sarcastic, but perfunctorily said that he would send troops after the autumn harvest.

Just when Cai Guo focused his attention on Yang Zilu, Yu Linlang led a thousand elite light horsemen led by Chou Wuyu and Zhen Yang, one person and two horses, secretly infiltrated from the north of Cai Guo. At this time, Cai Guo's attention was focused on Zhongli City in the east, and he didn't expect that danger would come from the side. Moreover, these thousand elite light cavalry were divided into ten teams and spent three days sneaking into Cai Guo, so that Cai Guo did not know that a poisonous snake had run into his hinterland.

By the middle of September, it was the time of the autumn harvest, and the soldiers brought by Yang Zilu, plus the county soldiers of Zhongli City, totaling 5,000 people, approached the pass of Cai State. Although there was a lot of fanfare, Yang Zilu was not prepared to take the pass.

Even so, it was so scared that Cai Chenghou almost urinated out. Marquis Cai immediately sent Gongzi Xiang to lead 2,000 armor soldiers, plus the countrymen recruited along the way, a total of 8,000 people came to the pass to strengthen the defense. When Gongziwa arrived at the pass, plus the soldiers at the pass, there were 10,000 people. But although it was twice as large as the Han army, Gongziwa strictly ordered the soldiers to defend it, and the 10,000 Cai army was oppressed by the 5,000 Han army, and they didn't dare to walk out of the pass for half a step, which is really a great irony.

And Cai Chenghou himself organized the people of the country to quickly harvest the grain in the field.

…… A barren mountain in Cai State......

Chou Wuyu picked up the dagger and carved a horizontal mark on the trunk, plus the one just carved, there were already three horizontal marks on the trunk. Chou Wuyu nodded, turned his head sideways, looked at Yang Yang beside him, and said in a deep voice: "It's the third day, and I'm going to attack Xia Cai tonight!" ”

Hearing this, Ayan Yang let out a long breath and said, "It's finally time to fight!" After staying in this barren mountain and wilderness for three days, I really lost two catties of blood! ”

Chou Wuyu smiled noncommittally, walked to the side and sat down, clasped his hands and said, "You have time to talk nonsense, it is better to take advantage of the time to rest now, tonight is a bloody night!" ”

When Ayang heard this, he laughed and said: "Just that Cai Guoren, I can kill them without sleeping for three days and three nights!" ”

Having said that, Ayan Yang still found a relatively dry place to sleep.

When it was dusk, Chou Wuyu opened his eyes and ordered the soldiers who were awakened by him on one side: "Go down and wake everyone up, have a full meal, and set off in an hour!" ”

"No!" The soldiers hurriedly answered, and immediately got up to convey the military orders.

The Han army was very efficient, and after an hour, a thousand cavalry were ready.

Chou Wuyu glanced at a thousand cavalrymen, and said in a deep voice: "I won't say more nonsense!" I'm a big Han crusade in the east and west! Invincible! Conquer it all! But this little Cai Guo, my Han lowered his status to form an alliance with him, not only did he not appreciate it, but he actually killed my Han's messenger! Kill the messenger who represents our Lord! You say, 'What should we do?' ”

"Kill! Kill! Kill!!! When a thousand light cavalry heard this, they roared with hideous faces, and the birds resting in the mountains and forests immediately scattered.

Chou Wuyu was also a little startled, afraid that he would be discovered by Cai Guoren in advance and miss a big incident, so he immediately waved his spear in his hand and shouted: "Let's go!" ”

A thousand Han cavalry rushed out immediately, and the black armor was like a surging black river under the faint light of the night, which looked particularly mysterious and weird.

The Cai people were rushing to harvest the autumn grain during this time, because they were afraid that once the war broke out, the grain would either rot in the fields or be harvested by the Han Chinese, so even the soldiers were involved in the harvest.

Because of the fatigue of the day, the villages along the way are quiet, and they don't care about these villages, they have only one goal, that is, Xia Cai. In about an hour, a thousand light cavalry had already descended ten miles from Cai.

He reined in the reins of his horse and raised his hand to signal everyone to stop.

A. Yang immediately stepped forward, looked at Chou Wuyu, Chou Wuyu nodded, thought about it, patted Chou Yang's shoulder again, and said, "Be careful!" ”

Ayan Yang didn't speak, just nodded his head, and immediately rode out with fifty cavalry. It was obvious that these cavalry were much different from the others. First of all, their war horses are all black, and it is easy to blend with the night, and their horses' hooves are wrapped in sackcloth, and from the exposed hay and rags, it can be seen that the linen cloth is wrapped in hay, rags and other things, so that the war horses can run, and the sound is reduced to the lowest point.

The fifty cavalry scattered very widely, and the speed of the horses was not very fast, and under the cover of night, they came to the edge of the moat of Xia Cai unharmed, and the river made a gurgling sound in the night. Ayan made a few gestures, and all but two of them dismounted. The two soldiers who remained on horseback retreated with their horses.

Ayan Yang squatted down and reached out to touch the river, although it was autumn, it was almost winter, and the river was not warm, but rather cold. But Ayang didn't say anything, just nodded to the other soldiers, and took the lead, slowly walking into the water, swimming cautiously.

Slowly the soldiers finally swam across the moat and landed on the shore, and everyone shuddered. But no one dared to make a sound, and now their task was only half completed, and the most important thing was still to come.
