Cao Cao in reality is not as handsome as in comics or film and television works.

In later comics, Cao Cao always looked wise and martial, but now because he is covered in blood, he looks a little hideous.

He held an undiminished sword in his hand, and frantically whipped and harnessed the horses, and although the panic on his face was well hidden, he still showed a hint of nervousness unintentionally.

They had apparently not slept all night, and had come here in a hurry.

The army that followed Cao Cao was probably only a few thousand people, and all of them were wounded, and the journey was not peaceful.

There were several burly people with different faces around Cao Cao, and it was estimated that they were all well-known generals of the Three Kingdoms, but Su Yun didn't know them, so he couldn't tell which one was which.

From a distance, Cao Cao saw him at a glance who was a little obscene, knocked the guards beside him with the back of his knife, and motioned for him to call Su Yun over.

"That kid in front, stop, the prime minister has something to ask you." The guards shouted loudly at Su Yun.

Su Yun was waiting for this moment, and he already had some thoughts in his heart about the question Cao Cao wanted to ask.

He calmed down slightly, cheered up a little, and walked towards Cao Cao head-on. But before he could contact Prime Minister Cao Cheng, he was stopped by a pro-guard who looked strong.

"Just stand here and talk back."

Cao Cao raised his horsewhip a little panting, pointed at Su Yun and shouted: "Look at your clothes, you should be from our army, why are you here?" ”

"Back to the prime minister, under the order of the battalion commander in the camp, to the rear to deliver the letter, who knew that after the letter, found that the shore was on fire, and then rushed to the base camp, on the way I heard that the camp tents along the road were all sent to retreat, the small one did not dare to delay, so he quickly rode back and retreated, intending to go to General Cao Ren to report the news. But the little equestrian was not proficient, and after a long day's journey, he was caught up by the prime minister. ”

Su Yun tried his best to suppress the apprehension in his heart and pretended to be very calm and said.

At this moment, if Cao Cao wants to delve into his problem, his words can be said to be full of loopholes.

Why was he sent to deliver letters, and the order to retreat came from the camps along the road, and why he was not with the troops in these tents, but was alone here.

But Cao Cao, who was in a panic, obviously didn't have the energy to implement his words one by one, so he simply agreed a few words, and then shouted: "Are you familiar with the geography around Ze? ”

Su Yun waited for Cao Cao's words.

When Sun Liu's army reached the riverside, Cao Cao should have fled in a hurry, and it can be said that he didn't even have time to get a map.

He had prepared in advance, and he happened to have a military map of the surrounding area.

Su Yun lied that the map was handed over to him by the battalion commander, so he shirked the past.

Cao Cao glanced at the map, then narrowed his eyes at him.

Although Su Yun knew in his heart that his plan was unlikely to go wrong, what kind of person was Cao Cao, a man in troubled times who commanded an army of millions.

His gaze was like substance, and although he fled in a hurry at the moment, the majesty of the mountain had never diminished, as if he could see through all his thoughts.

Even though Su Yun had a spectrum in his heart, he was also stared at by Cao Cao's eyes, if he didn't really have a clear conscience, he was afraid that he would be directly frightened to the ground by this kind of look.

"What is the name of your battalion commander, and which general is under the command, report quickly." A general beside Cao Cao asked aloud.

"The small one is from the reserve battalion under General Feng Kai, and the battalion commander is an adult surnamed Ma, known as the horse executioner, what is the specific name, and the small one is not clear, everyone calls him that way on weekdays." Su Yun lowered his head as he replied, not directly contacting Cao Cao's gaze.

Cao Cao frowned, obviously suspicious of his heart again.

At this kind of crisis, if Su Yun is a spy sent by the enemy army and leads him astray, then he and the thousands of soldiers around him can be said to be in the mouth of a tiger.

Therefore, the issue of proving Su Yun's identity is very important, and suspicion has always been Cao Cao's characteristic.

"General Feng Kai, is Feng Kai in the team?" Cao Cao shouted at the army behind him.

A strong, equally panting man rode out of the army behind Cao Cao, with a blood-stained bandage on his right arm, apparently wounded in the battle ahead.

"General Feng Kai, do you have a battalion commander nicknamed Ma Executioner in the reserve battalion under your account?"

Feng Kai thought for a moment, his thick eyebrows trembled, and he immediately replied:

"Prime Minister, Ma Executioner does have this person, he was injured in the pioneer battalion and was transferred to my reserve battalion, because of his outstanding ability, I personally placed him in the position of battalion commander, and he has always done a good job."

Cao Cao pointed at Su Yun with a horsewhip and said, "Tell me about the characteristics of that horse battalion commander, which general did he ask you to send a letter to?" ”

Su Yun's face changed, what he was most worried about was that Cao Cao asked who he was sending the letter to, and while answering Cao Cao's first question to delay time, he was thinking about which general to push the matter of sending the letter to.

"Well, the battalion commander of the horse battalion is very strong, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, infinite strength, holding two giant axes, short hair, dense body hair, serious and responsible, and very strict with his subordinates."

As Su Yun spoke, he glanced at the group of people around Cao Cao, this place was not much away from Huarong Dao, the exit of the Battle of Red Cliffs.

As long as he gains Cao Cao's trust here, then after passing Huarong Dao and Guan Yu's level, he will be considered safe.

"Battalion commander, battalion commander asked me to send the letter to General Zhang Liaozhang."

At the last moment, Su Yun finally made up his mind and casually broke a general.

A general like Xu Chu, who has a very distinctive figure, he can recognize it at a glance, and if he doesn't see General Xu, he can confidently tell Cao Cao that he sent the letter to General Xu.

But at this moment, there was a big man beside Cao Cao who was much stronger than the other soldiers.

Judging by the distance between this person and Cao Cao, there is no doubt that this person should be Xu Chu, and only Xu Zhu can make Cao Cao feel at ease to get so close.

As for famous generals such as Zhang He, Li Dian, and Xu Huang, he has only seen them in books, but he has not seen real people in this world, so he can't judge.

If Zhang Liao is by Cao Cao's side at this moment, then his lies will be exposed in an instant, and Cao Cao, who is extremely suspicious, will inevitably take a knife and end his life.

However, it seems that Su Yun's luck is good, and when Cao Cao heard him report the name Zhang Liao, his brows eased slightly.

Obviously, in order to block the pursuers, Zhang Liao was still behind Cao Cao, and he couldn't come to confront Su Yun at this moment, although he couldn't directly prove Su Yun's identity, but at least there was no problem with the previous questioning.

Cao Cao took a deep breath, a trace of doubt crossed his eyes, and just now Su Yun was a little hesitant before he mentioned Zhang Liao's name.

In normal times, with Cao Cao's resourcefulness, he could have a hundred ways to find out the truth in Su Yun's mouth, but now he didn't have this time.

A series of messages from the Doomsday Space appeared in Su Yun's ears:

"No. 1303 gets 3% plot reversal, indirectly gets 3% time and space exploration, turns in the map, gets 100 points of Cao Cao's military merits, gets 100 points of Cao Cao's reputation, and the current reputation is 100/200, and when the reputation reaches 200 points, it can be upgraded to friendly."

Su Yun observed his time and space exploration and found that this value had reached 9.5%, as long as he persevered, he would be able to survive this trial task.

The plot after that is already clear to him.

Follow Cao Cao through Huarong Road, and then as long as Cao Cao escapes death, the soldiers who share the hardships with him will definitely be favored, and 100 points of military merit should be no problem.

At that time, side quest 2 will be completed, and at the same time, after passing Huarong Dao, it should not be a problem for reputation to reach friendliness.

Su Yun was reassured, it seemed that this reincarnation should be able to end his trial world.

Cao Cao examined the map, then with a wave of his horsewhip, he pointed to a road in front of him, and let the army follow him.

Since Cao Cao's team was exhausted at the moment, Su Yun ran out of physical strength and finally managed to keep up with the large army.

A group of people galloped to the Huarong Road crossing, the desolate mountainous terrain was rugged, and the two roads were presented in front of them, and the rest of the place was steep and impassable.

One of them was a flat and empty road, which should be the main road that the nearby mountain people usually walked, and there was only a little sand and dust on the road, and it looked like it was easy to spot even if there were ambushes on the road.

The other is a winding and muddy path, at the end of this path, you can see that there is smoke rising, it seems that there is a large number of troops ambushed at the end of the road, this muddy and difficult path is the famous Huarong Road later.

Anyone who has watched "Three Kingdoms" knows that Cao Cao pretended to be clever here to apply the art of war that is virtual and real, and chose Huarong Dao with cooking smoke rising, which is in Zhuge Liang's arms.

In the end, relying on the preferential treatment given to Guan Yu before, he was cheeky and brought up the old feelings, so he escaped with his life in front of the loyal Guan Yu.

Cao Cao and a group of soldiers discussed it in front.

Su Yun didn't hear what they were talking about because he was lagging behind, but it was probably Cao Cao's self-righteous remarks that the false is the real and the real is the false. In the end, the troops decided to take the rugged and difficult Huarong Road.

The wind blows, and the rain continues.

Muddy roads are especially difficult to walk on rainy days.

Su Yun was not the kind of cavalryman who was proficient in equestrianism, and there was no way to ride through this place with mud on top of the horse, so he simply got off the horse and led the horse to walk around on foot.

The icy rain soaked his body, and the soaked inferior military uniform clinged to his body, preventing him from sweating.

The cold seeped into his shoes along the rain, making his feet cold and uncomfortable.

The other soldiers on foot had the same feeling as him, and those generals who were better at riding could ride their horses through the muddy roads, and Su Yun had endured this intense discomfort all the time.

The team in front suddenly stopped, followed by a commotion sound, only to hear Cao Cao shouting in front: "Soldiers come forward, take grass and fill the road." ”

A group of sturdy guards came to Su Yun's thin soldiers, waved their horsewhips, and hit everyone.

"The prime minister has an order, the road ahead is muddy and impassable, the road is not passable, you should put a straw mat on your back at a fast speed and fill it on the dirt road ahead, if it is done, there will be a reward, if you are slack, you will be killed!"

As far as the guards could see, they included the thin Su Yun.

"For the temporary mandatory mission, Huarong Road is muddy and impassable, and soldiers need to go to fill in the grass for passage; Difficulty: B (Hard); Reward: 20 prestige, 20 military merits, failed the mission, killed by the overseers. ”

Su Yun was thinking about whether to accept this task, but he was whipped on the head by the guard.

This personal guard was very strong, and this whipping made Su Yun almost fall down in pain, and a hot and sharp pain came from his scalp, and a trace of cold liquid flowed down his cheeks along the pain.

"The thieves will catch up at any time, you dare to be lazy here, hurry up and carry the straw mats, if the chasing soldiers arrive, we will all die here!"

Su Yun was whipped violently by this, and a nameless anger rose in his heart.

But knowing that it was impossible for him to resist, Cao Cao's personal guards were superiors in front of inferior soldiers like them, even if this personal guard killed him, Cao Cao would not say anything, after all, it was a special period.

He hobbled through the mud as the team carried the straw mat, and the sharp pain from the whiplash made him grin.

Soon, the swampy mud in front was filled by the straw mat of the soldiers, because he was carrying grass back and forth in the mud, Su Yun, who was already very tired, now had no strength to walk, his legs were weak, and he was propped up on the straw mat to recover his strength.

At this time, I don't know who shouted: "The pursuers are catching up!" ”

For a time, the entire cavalry formation was in chaos.

Cao Cao was in a hurry, and rode his horse and jumped over to the muddy ground where there were still people laying straw mats.

A soldier who was still laying out a straw mat was trampled on the back by Cao Cao's tall horse, and a crisp sound of spine breaking was drowned out in the sound of horses' hooves behind.

It was too late for Su Yun to notice that something was wrong, and more than a thousand cavalry scrambled forward in panic.

He didn't know how to protect himself in this situation, and he was soon stepped on in the stomach.

The strength of the horse's hooves was not at all what he could withstand with his thin body, and he suddenly felt that his five Tibets and six mansions were all trampled, and severe pain could not stop surging from his abdomen, and a mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth.

Then came the hooves of the horses, and after he was trampled on by the first horses and fell to the ground, he never got back up.

A horse stepped on his knee, and a sharp pain that Su Yun had never felt before came from the joint, and he could even hear the sound of his leg being broken, and he involuntarily roared, and his eyes were red.

At this moment, his time and space exploration has reached 9.8%!

However, he was unable to escape from the death hoofprints, his face pressed against the wet straw, and he reluctantly lost the last bit of consciousness on the ground.

"The horse stampede dealt you 30 physical damage, and minus the defense reduction, you took 28 actual damage."

"The horse stampede dealt you 15 physical damage, minus the defense reduction, you took 14 actual damage."

"Your health has gone to zero, you're dead."
