Chapter Seventy-Two: Cao Cao's Strategy

The cavalry broke away from the army and scattered like a great net into the depths of the desert.

Liu Chang galloped on his horse, closely following behind a cavalryman.

These cavalrymen are all scouts in the army, and they are the first-class elite troops, each of them is extremely skilled, and they are specially designed to go to the front to reconnoiter the enemy's situation.

If you can capture one, you may be able to learn from them the reason why the army of the princes of the Seventeenth Route suddenly opened up.

Therefore, he set his sights on a tanma who was leaving alone.

Although the horse riding skill is powerful, the war horse under Liu Bian's seat was captured from the hands of an adjutant general in the army, and the speed is so fast that it is about to catch up.

The tanma was worthy of being the elite of the army, with a keen sense of vigilance, and he sensed that something was wrong from a distance, found Liu Bian's figure, and shouted: "What person?"

Liu Bian didn't answer, and rushed over.

Sou!

When the probe saw this, he turned around and shot an arrow.

Liu Chang dodged.

The probe horse opened the bow more than once, and a large bow was drawn like a full moon, and the catapult did not stop, and dozens of flying arrows shot densely like rain.

Liu Bian's big gun swung into a ball, swept down those bows and arrows one by one, and killed them directly.

"The thief is fierce!" the probe horse was also fierce, and roared, and the spear in his hand also pierced.

Bang!

The spear collided in the air, Liu Chang's arm trembled slightly, but the horse shook violently and almost fell off the horse.

"This manpower is far above me! He is about to complete his cultivation with the heavy kung fu of refining muscles!" But as a samurai, it was not easy for him to defeat me in a short period of time. As long as I hold off and send a signal for others to help, I will definitely be able to surround this person!"

He used his horsemanship, quickly rode his horse to dodge, did not confront Liu Bian, and one hand was secretly submerged in his sleeve, as if he was about to take out something.

A smile that seemed to be a smile crossed Liu Bian's face, he had already seen his plan clearly, how could he continue to delay with him and give him the opportunity to summon helpers.

With a shake of his big gun, he suddenly divided into cold, dozens or hundreds, and enveloped the probe horse.

The spear flowers hovered in the air, beautiful, containing murderous intentions, and at first glance it seemed to have a bit of charm of Zhao Zilong's 100 birds and phoenix marksmanship.

A little detective how the horse could be blocked, hit one after another, and fell off the horse's back.

"Say, where is this army of princes going?" asked Liu Bianqiu.

"You don't want to know, my lord won't let you go!"

"This can't help you!" Liu Bian was not annoyed, and smiled mysteriously.

"What?" the horse roared, and suddenly felt that something was wrong, and before he could struggle, a pair of fingers enlarged in front of his eyes, and his consciousness suddenly fell into darkness.

"Stand up!" Liu Bian commanded lightly.

Tanma opened his eyes suddenly, his gaze extremely glazed, like a marionette.

"Where is the army of princes going?" asked Liu Bian again.

"Suan Zao County!" Tanma replied dumbfoundedly.

"Where is this?" Liu Bian frowned, unable to remember where this was?

"This is the place where Cao Cao, the general of Fenwu, garrisoned, let me wait to go to the alliance to meet the edict of the Son of Heaven......" Tanma's face was sluggish, his mind was controlled by Liu Bian, and he did not resist, and all the information was leaked.

After listening to what happened, Liu Chang's doubts disappeared, "I see." All of this is Cao Cao's strategy!"

This Cao Cao only has 5,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, and his strength is the weakest among the princes of the Eighteen Routes, and even if he forms an alliance, he is estimated to be at the bottom.

But now he relied on this edict of the Son of Heaven to let the princes take the initiative to form an alliance, and he invisibly took the initiative and became the initiator of the alliance, and his status and voice have greatly increased.

In this way, it is impossible to be the leader of the alliance with his strength and identity, but it is more than enough to be a deputy alliance leader.

All this was planned by him, but no one knew that the edict was false from beginning to end.

An edict will play the princes of the world in applause, how old is this Cao Cao's plan?

Liu Bian secretly sighed, this Cao Cao is worthy of being the hero of the world, and Liu Bei and Sun Quan can only protect themselves, and the far-reaching wisdom is really terrifying.

He figured out the key, glanced at the tanma who was still stunned, and with a wave of his hand, he turned around and hurried away.

The tanma froze in place, and it took a long time for him to come back to his senses, and he looked around in surprise.

"Oh, it turned out that the war horse stumbled and threw me off the horse and fell unconscious!"

He shook his head with a wry smile, if this kind of messy thing about falling from under the horse as a detective horse spreads, I am afraid that he will have to be laughed at by his colleagues.

He hurriedly rolled over his horse and hurried away, having forgotten all about what had happened here.

......

Next, Liu Bian continued to follow the army of the princes, secretly observing all walks of life, and thinking about the right person to serve.

Yuan Shaozhi is talented, resourceful and indecisive, and was born in the Yuan family of the fourth and third princes, and there are many strategists and generals under him, and it is difficult to be reused in the past, so he is not a suitable candidate.

Yuan Shu can't do it either, this person is in a mean mood, and it is difficult to be the master.

Although Sun Jian is extremely brave, his personality is too hard, and he is easy to break, and he will die soon because of his greed for the jade seal of the country.

Liu Bian was not optimistic about him.

Then he only has two choices left, one is Tao Qian, and the other is Cao Cao.

Cao Cao is a hero, but he is scheming, if he wants to break away from him in the future, it will be difficult!

Especially Liu Bian, who knew that his identity was embarrassing, if he was discovered by Cao Cao, it would be terrible.

With Cao Cao's heroic temperament, he will not do anything to support the abolition of the emperor and restore the throne and then coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes.

When the time comes, he will be imprisoned in the deep palace and will not be free.

Therefore, this is an unacceptable and last resort option until the end.

Then the only thing left is Tao Qian.

Although Tao Qian has a gentle temperament, an elegant elder is too inferior in this wolf-like army of princes, and he can't grab military merits, so it will be difficult to follow him to get ahead!

......

For a while, Liu Bian also felt extremely difficult, not only how to choose, but could only continue to follow the army of princes far away.

And so it went for a few more days.

Late that night, Liu Bian was meditating on his knees, visualizing his soul.

The sky was dark, and Yuan Shao's army suddenly moved, and there was actually a thousand-man iron horse galloping away from the camp, alarming the other princes, but it was soon gone.

"Yuan Shao, what are you doing?" Liu became strange, feeling a strong murderous intent from this iron horse.

His heart moved, and he suddenly laid an illusion to protect his body, and his soul had already left the shell and wandered away at night.

The wind is howling.

Liu Bianxiu was no longer what it used to be, and his spirit moved, like a lightning speed, and soon caught up with the figures of those iron horses.

A rushing shout of killing came from afar.

Next, Liu Bian saw a familiar figure rushing back and forth among the cavalry, covered in blood.

"Zhao Zilong!"
