No, you have to leave after two or three days at most.

"General Qiyu, the sentries have reconnoitred all the miles around, and they have not found any traces of soldiers and horses, even near the water source, we should be able to cultivate here for a little longer."

Just as he was secretly making up his mind, a young lieutenant ran over.

"Hmm."

Cao Zhen nodded, saying so, but the captain's words could not dispel the uneasiness in his heart, and he was really worried and even scared right now.

Suddenly, he suddenly thought of the elusive, ghostly black horseman.

Those guys wandered around the battlefield all day long, and their main purpose was to disrupt the battlefield and hold back the offensive footsteps of the tiger and leopard cavalry, so as to deter the soldiers and horses of the entire theater.

Especially on the side of General Xiahoudun, he was almost unable to move.

What if······

What kind of accident did General Xiahou have at this time······ I'm afraid that this war is coming to an end······

"Let's go down, you must always be vigilant, especially at night, don't take it lightly, and remember to gather all the cavalry near the camp, and tell Cao Chun that since it is a joint station, it is appropriate to watch and help each other."

In fact, he had already said this to Cao Chun upstream, and he attached great importance to the other party.

"This Zidan's temperament is inevitably too cautious, we are now in the rear, there is still some distance from the front line, and there are as many as 30,000 people here, who dares to quietly cross the front line and come to sneak attack?"

Cao Chun, who heard this again, still didn't pay much attention, he was the first group of people to follow Cao Cao, how could he not even have this bit of eyesight?

But alas, he met a herald who was too sincere.

"General, that's what I said, but I'm not afraid of 10,000 in case, the distance between our two battalions is indeed a bit long, if something really happens, it will be a little overwhelming to support."

As soon as these words came out, Cao Chun was unhappy.

Damn, I've been on the battlefield for most of my life, and although I don't have any commendable feats, I've never made a big mistake, so how can I wait for a little soldier to be able to make irresponsible remarks?

He frowned slightly, and then asked with a smile, "Oh? Listening to what you say, you should be very good at leading soldiers? ”

"Huh? This ······ General, the villain didn't mean that! It's just ······ I just think that the current battle situation is chaotic, so I'd better be careful-"

"Presumptuous!"

Cao Chun got up abruptly and roared angrily: "You guy dare to shake the morale of the army before the war, talk nonsense, come here, drag him down to General Ben, beat him with twenty military sticks, and then send Zidan back!" ”

"No!"

The guards outside the big tent decisively dragged the person out and executed him.

Twenty military sticks, although not much, but definitely a lot, the soldiers who gave the order were beaten and screamed, but they didn't dare to say anything.

He knew very well that because Duoyan had already annoyed Cao Chun, if it weren't for the fact that he was currently in the middle of the war, he was afraid that what he would get would not be a simple twenty military sticks.

said so, but being beaten up inexplicably still makes people resentful, especially on the way back from being injured.

Full of grievances, as soon as he returned to the camp, he ran to see Cao Zhen and began to describe today's experience.

What is just a good heart, but he doesn't want the other party to anger the other party, not only was he accused of overstepping, but he even forcibly deducted the hat that shook the morale of the army before the war.

After Cao Zhen heard this, his face turned black directly, and his heart was full of anger.

He didn't expect the other party to have this attitude.

Speaking of this Cao Chun, he can be regarded as the No. 1 person of his uncle's generation, the No. 1 character without any military merits.

Although the position is a little higher than himself, most of this is due to the shadow of the family, and personally, he does not have much prestige in the army.

Especially these young generals who dare to fight and fight, they don't take him to heart at all.

But who would have thought that the other party would not take himself in his eyes like this.

There was a lot of anger in his heart, but he also knew that the current front-line war was tight and not suitable for infighting.

The most important thing now is to wait for support from the rear, and at the same time find a reason to stop the Xi Yu army.

But now I want to stop the army of Xiyu, which is no less than a fool's dream.

Perhaps······

The only thing that can stop Xi Yu is ······ It's just an internal affair, right?

As the war becomes more anxious, presumably the people of the land of Qingxu will also appear in dire straits.

As long as they can't bear the troubles caused by the war, in order to ensure the stability of the base camp and the economic prosperity of Qingqing and Xu, the drama at that time must have to stop.

And this ······ It takes time······

Cao Zhen thought about it carefully, then slowly exhaled a breath of turbidity, patted the herald's shoulder seriously, and said with relief: "This matter has been written down by General Ben, you can rest assured, I will definitely join Cao Chunyi one day." ”

"It's just that the war on the front line is precarious at the moment, and we still need to unite in the rear and help each other together, since he doesn't want to listen to General Ben, then it's the same for us to rely on the past."

"What? This ······"

The herald was a little surprised, but he quickly reacted, hurriedly hid the unhappiness in his eyes, knelt on the ground, and said no more.

To tell the truth, the Twenty Sticks were not too difficult for him, a grown man who often came and went in the big camp.

Although the pain is unbearable from the shoulder blades to the buttocks, there is almost no broken skin, and there is more redness and swelling.

That's why he can endure it at the moment.

Of course, it's more because I'm just a nobody, and I'm just a humble person.

After receiving the order, he left the big tent, and Cao Zhen leaned back in his chair and began to ponder.

It stands to reason that these 30,000 troops should be led by themselves, but Cao Chun doesn't seem to be a good one to think about now.

Now the army as a whole is equivalent to being divided into two, especially the cavalry, only a part of the heavy cavalry in his hands, and the light cavalry is basically in Cao Chun's hands.

Now the other side does not obey the discipline, which makes it difficult for the cavalry to cooperate with each other, and I am afraid that it is easy to cause chaos.

The most important thing is the heavy horse in your hand, once you encounter any sudden incident, whether you are chasing the enemy or being chased by the enemy, it is not an excellent choice.

The heavy cavalry is best at charging into battle in a large army, disrupting the enemy's formation and killing all sides, which can be regarded as the strongest force in the army.

Looking back on the past, the only thing that can make the heavy rider deflated is the original flying bear.

But right now, these heavy horses in their hands ······ Without the assistance of the light horse, there are some chicken ribs, chasing and can't catch up, running and can't run away, in such a situation it may be difficult to make achievements, it is really a big head.

After thinking for a long time, he shouted outward, "Someone! ”

Da! Da! Da!

Soon, a partial general walked in from outside the big tent, this is the general of the Gongsun family-Gongsun Xun.

Since the dispersal of the Gongsun clan, there are not many people who can stay in the army.

"General."

"You go, send 3,000 soldiers to guard the depths of the jungle, always observe the movements of Cao Chun's camp, and report if there is a special hurry."

After that, Cao Zhen said in a low voice: "Remember to bury some men in the valley, if you encounter a small number of enemy troops, let them go first, and after they fight with Cao Chun, they will definitely return the same way, what you have to do is to hold the valley, let's catch turtles in the urn!" ”

"The last general commands!"

"And!"

Without waiting for Gongsun Xun to turn around, Cao Zhen said again: "You can arrange for three more thousand soldiers to be stationed near the camp and always pay attention to the surrounding environment!" ”

"No!"

Watching Gongsun Xun leave, Cao Zhen's hanging heart fell a little, and he planned to go to the soft couch to rest for a while.

Although there was no war during this time, a vigilant heart never fell.

But now, he understood the reason for his uneasiness - white riding!

That's right, it's a white ride!

Xi Yu's black horse had already appeared on the battlefield, and even restrained Xiahou Chun.

But the white rider was never seen.

The commander of the black and white cavalry is Huang Zhong, he once fought against Xiahou Chun on the battlefield, so thinking about it, the current general of the white cavalry should not be him.

In this case, the most likely candidate to guide the White Cavalry in battle is about to come out, and it is the person he has been looking forward to - Huang Zhong's son, Huang Xu!

Huang Xu is a famous archer, and his son's archery skills must be extraordinary.

In this way, the person who beat himself up in Xiapi turned his back on his horse, and the riding wolf who had no face at all should be Huang Xu.

Thinking of the loss he suffered that time, he was extremely cautious.

Since you are going to come to the army to make meritorious contributions, you can't tolerate sloppiness, especially when you still have old grudges with the enemy.

Late at night, just as Cao Zhen was asleep, under the light of the cold moonlight, many white armors appeared at the end of the horizon.

They rode white horses from an unknown plain.

The white armor and white horses, accompanied by the cold brilliance of the moonlight, looked extremely dazzling.

Such a presence is supposedly quite conspicuous, but there is no half of the figure around.

The cover is therefore remote, not only running through rivers, but also endless rolling mountains that ordinary war horses cannot pass through.

The most important thing is that the direction they came from is the south, and the south is the hinterland of Jizhou, which is Cao Pi's base camp!

Who would have thought that in their own base camp, there would be an enemy army?

Speaking of which, I have to praise Huang Xu.

In order to come here quietly, he led the white cavalry to detour thousands of miles from Pingyuan County.

Looking at the messy and somewhat orderly enemy camp in the distance, Huang Xu couldn't help laughing.

"I didn't think this Cao Zhen was still interesting."

When he thought of the young man who had been thrown into the air by his own shot, he couldn't help but want to laugh.

"It seems that this kid has already guessed, he can guess in such a short time, and he is unprepared, it seems that he still has some strength."

Huang Xu led all the light cavalry, and there were many soldiers in ambush around the camp below, and if they wanted to break through such a tight defense in a short time, it was obviously not something that the light cavalry could do.

This alone was enough to make him look at Cao Zhen differently.

It's just that although Huang Xu is only in his twenties, he has already been fighting on the battlefield for many years, and in terms of experience, Cao Zhen really can't compare with him.

The most important thing is that he also has an extremely powerful trait, and that is not to get lost!

Xu is because his father carefully taught him the relationship between reconnaissance and topographic maps since he was a child, so that he can always identify the direction on the battlefield.

When a leading general has such an ability, it is almost equivalent to awakening a talent that is difficult for ordinary people to achieve.

If it weren't for that, I'm afraid that no matter how good Huang Xu's skills are, it would be difficult for him to achieve today's achievements.

And this is also what Xi Yu admires most about Huang Xu, he thought in his heart at the time that in the entire river of history, the only one who can do this is the champion Hou Huo Quai.

To be able to chase the enemy across 800 miles in the desert and never get lost, how shocking should this battle be?

It's like a humanoid navigation!

When Huang Xu first heard the word "navigation", he didn't understand what it meant.

However, when he understood that it was an ability similar to not getting lost, he valued it more and more.

As my father-in-law said, even if I don't have a heroic martial artist like Huo Quzhi with such skills, I am not much different.

After all, no matter what kind of battlefield you are on, or even any corner of the battlefield, as long as you want to, you can find anyone on the battlefield to pursue or help.

And this is also the final positioning that Xi Yu gave him - a strange soldier!

An existence that is not subject to any constraints on the battlefield, and an opportunity to turn defeat into victory on the battlefield.

For this reason, while Xi Yu tried his best to train his ability, he did not forget to cultivate his thinking, and even his overall free and easy character.

If you have great talent, you should not be buried in the long river of history.

If you can make the characters who only exist in a few strokes in the book become a dazzling existence in the current time and space, then it is called wonderful.

If Huang Xu can really have the prestige of Huo Quzhi in the future······

Hey! It's exciting to think about!

"Boss, is it not easy to do? The two camps are somewhat divided, and the distribution of light and heavy cavalry is uneven, so it is a little difficult to eat them all in one go! ”

"Indeed!" Huang Xu nodded, and then sneered: "The upstream is a heavy horse, which is not easy to fight, and looking at the heavily guarded appearance, it is obvious that it has been prepared for a long time." ”

"On the other hand, light riding, although relatively lazy, is fast, and you can run if you can't beat it."

"But······ At present, the war on the front line is quite tight, and we have not yet made achievements, so it would be a good choice to take these 30,000 people. ”

As soon as the words fell, No. 1, who was dressed in silver and white armor behind him, took out a map from his arms and said concisely: "If you fight, there are three options, one is to cross the valley, go straight to the giant deer, and hit the enemy's lair!" ”

"As long as we can succeed, the defenders of Yecheng will definitely come to support and encircle us, and the pressure on the front line can be relieved to a certain extent, but we will definitely be surrounded."

"The second is to return the same way, and then start from Xuzhou and go straight to Yanzhou, Xuzhou borders Yanzhou, although Xuchang is no longer the capital, but in the end it is Cao Pi's biggest economic pillar, plus there is our inner line, it is easier."

"At present, there are still more than 30 internal lines left in Xuchang, and more than 100 other people are all going to Yecheng, ready to follow Cao Pi's cronies to Chang'an."

Thinking about it this way, the place that Cao Pi finally chose to set the capital must be Chang'an!

No. 1 also studied with Xi Yu for a period of time.

To be precise, all the soldiers in the White Cavalry have learned some modern thinking from Xi Yu, which also leads to them always coming up with some tricky methods in battle.

It's like what he wants now is to quietly cross the war zone, come to the rear of the enemy, and find the exact location of the Son of Heaven while silently echoing the front and rear of the front army, and rescue him as quickly as possible.

If this plan succeeds, they will have done a great job.

It's just that the implementation of this plan is too difficult, and it takes more than a month to say the least.

Because in the process, they will pass through countless levels, and although the defenders of these checkpoints are nothing to them, rations are a big problem.

Where the grain and grass are located, the guards are also the strictest.

If you want to quietly snatch grain and grass on the road and go straight to Chang'an, it is obviously difficult.

"As for the third, it is to destroy the 30,000 troops below······"

"Since you have encountered it, you naturally have to choose the third one!"

Without waiting for No. 1 to finish speaking, Huang Xu showed a mouthful of big white teeth and said with a smile: "The first and second are not very desirable, and it is not a good thing for us to go too far alone." ”

"Moreover, from the perspective of my father-in-law, if we are trapped in the enemy camp, he will definitely come to the rescue for all reasons, and we are only here to make meritorious contributions, not to ask for trouble."

"Also, if you look at the arrangement of the two armies below, Cao Zhen is obviously a brain, if we can destroy him, we will definitely be able to cause some trouble to Cao Pi's army."

"Speaking of which, I also dealt with Cao Zhen in my early years, back then, this kid couldn't even take a sword in my hand, and now I don't know if he has grown?"

"But ······"

As he spoke, Huang Xu tightened the corners of his mouth and said coldly: "Even if he grows again, I will definitely be able to destroy him with one sword!" ”

"Everyone's ready, ready to fight!"

"No!"

After everyone responded in a low voice, they shot arrows in an orderly manner.

Call! Call! Call!

Shout! Shout! Shout!

In the howling of the wind, countless rain of arrows carried the oil canisters straight past the camp below.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

As the oil tank hit the ground, the ground instantly burst into flames.

The smell of stuffy oil spread throughout the camp in an instant.

After a while, Cao Chun's roaring roar echoed throughout the camp, and all the light and heavy horsemen also woke up in an instant.

However, when they rushed out of the tent, they saw nothing but an endless sea of fire.

To be exact, it should be the sea of fire that surrounds everyone.

For a full twenty miles of camp, the undulating flames were like a creeping fire dragon, waiting to eat away at the prey that had been watching for a long time.

Heavy grain and grass, armor and war horses were all devoured by it.

"What about the patrolmen? What are you eating? A bunch of bastards, enemy attack! Enemy attack! ”

Cao Chun, who was furious, stood in the middle of the camp and kept roaring, he also wanted to quickly command the army to extinguish the fire, but it was difficult to contain the fear in the center, and his brain was even more blank.

"Damn, what the hell are the guards doing? The enemy has hit the big camp and doesn't know how to return? ”
