Monan, grassland.

The desert is lonely, and the sun sets over the long river.

Chen Zhou followed Cao Jun to the south of the desert, crossed the Great Wall, and camped in the north of Dunoze, it was the first time to see the desert scenery, and it looked quite good.

After the Cao army came here, he immediately set up camp, and the whole army rested here, and the soldiers of the tiger and leopard cavalry had already been sent out, first, to inquire about the movements of the Xianbei people, and second, to prepare to meet the Xianbei people.

At this time, it was already evening.

Inside Cao Jun's camp, puffs of smoke rose from the cooking.

It's not lonely smoke, it's not so lonely, groups of cooking smoke appear on the grassland, and the scene is still very good-looking.

"Watayuki, how do you feel?"

Cao Cao noticed that Chen Zhou was looking at the sunset, so he came out and asked curiously.

Chen Zhou's gaze retracted above the sunset, and he smiled: "The feeling on the grassland is still quite good." ”

"Pretty good!"

Cao Cao laughed and said, "Do you think I can take down all the grasslands in the future and turn them into our place?" The vast grassland, the vast territory, all taken down, this is a great feat. ”

As soon as these words came out, Chen Zhou didn't have time to respond, Guo Jia, who was standing on the side, said: "The grassland is so big, the place is barren, take it all, and then the governance will give the lord a headache." ”

"That's true, too."

Cao Cao was not shocked by this, and still said with pride: "Despite this, I still want to win, sometimes if I don't give it a try, who knows if I can do it?" ”

"My lord is right!"

Chen Zhou said approvingly: "With our strength, it is actually not very difficult to win. ”

Cao Cao narrowed his eyes and said: "Then set a goal, I want to get the entire grassland, which will be used to herd horses and sheep in the future, which is also a beautiful thing." ”

They listened and laughed together.

"What do you think we can do next?"

Cao Cao then raised the question.

Guo Jia said: "We arrived here in advance, the Xianbei people are still on the road, it is considered to be leisurely, there are still advantages, how to fight, I think we need to wait until the results of the test of the Xianbei people are transmitted back to the tiger and leopard riders." ”

"Where's Wataruki?"

Cao Cao looked at Chen Zhou.

"My thoughts are similar to Fengxiao, but we will definitely be able to fight, just Xianbei Hu people, it's not worth mentioning."

Chen Zhou said confidently.

"Watayuki is right."

Guo Jia said with a smile: "The Xianbei Hu people are very strong in going south, and they are much more united than the small countries in the Western Regions, but they are also several large tribes, and leading a group of small tribes together may not be able to work together, plus in our army, both the quality of soldiers and weapons are not bad." ”

Chen Zhou chimed in: "Especially weapons. ”

Chen Zhou is still very confident in the new weapons he tossed out.

"The weapons are all brought by Wataruyuki."

Cao Cao thought about these again, and laughed: "With the crossing, we are not afraid of anything!" ”

"Exactly!"

Guo Jia also looked at Chen Zhou in admiration.

Not long after, the sun completely sunset, and night fell, and the heavens and the earth were completely covered in darkness.

The preparations that should have been made in the camp were fully prepared, and the vigilance was also raised to the highest level, and the scouts in the army were constantly sent out to inquire about the movements of the Xianbei people.

Before the Xianbei people really arrived, they could still be very relaxed and still very safe.

Chen Zhou stayed in the rear army as always, as a military advisor who just wanted to play soy sauce, he was fishing in the rear army like this.

Ma Yunlu has been following, and he is also in the rear army of Cao Ying at this time.

"Sir!"

Ma Yunlu brought dinner and said with a smile: "It's time for dinner." ”

Chen Zhou said: "Okay! Actually, you should wait for me in Guzang, you don't have to come along. ”

Ma Yunlu shook his head and said with certainty: "No, of course I have to follow Mr. ”

Hearing this, Chen Zhou smiled, thought for a moment and said, "After we go back, we will get married, okay?" ”

"Good!"

Ma Yunlu readily agreed.

She didn't care at all about Chen Zhou and other wives and concubines, as long as she liked it, it was enough.

Like, trumps everything.

——

Evening.

A group of cavalry walked slowly on the steppe, and at this time, a fast horse galloped back from the northeast and soon came before the cavalry.

"Stop!"

Cao Chun snorted.

The galloping knight pulled the reins with all his might, and the galloping steed came to a steady halt.

He was a scout of the tiger and leopard cavalry, and said with some gasp: "General, find out, the Xianbei people are in the northwest of us, about twenty miles. ”

Hearing this, Cao Chun squinted his eyes and looked to the northwest, but the night was dark, and he couldn't see his five fingers, so he looked at Ma Chao next to him and asked, "What does Meng Qi think?" ”

Ma Chao also followed the tiger and leopard riders, and raided Xianbei together, which can be regarded as leading the way for them.

Hearing the other party's question about himself, he pondered for a long time and said: "Let's approach the enemy first, more than twenty miles, and at our speed, within two or three hours before dawn, we can reach it completely, and then hide and rest, and wait for the sun to appear when it is about to attack." ”

After a pause, he added, "The sun is about to rise, and it is the most difficult time for people, and Xianbei must be defenseless. ”

"Then do what Meng Qi said."

Cao Chun thought about it, directly adopted Ma Chao's plan, and ordered: "Everyone follow and continue to set off." ”

They lit torches and marched across the steppe.

In order to avoid being discovered by the enemy, the movement of the march did not dare to be too large, so it could not be too fast, and at the same time, it was still marching south in the direction of the enemy's march, which could also avoid detection to a certain extent.

Walk until midnight.

They are hidden under a dirt slope.

Another scout went out to investigate, and it wasn't long before the news returned.

"General, the enemy has set up camp to rest on our north side and stopped marching."

The scout said.

Ma Chao smiled and said: "They stopped to rest now, but they didn't even send scouts out to find out what the road ahead was, Xianbei people are very confident that we will not go deep into the ambush, and the opportunity will come." ”

Cao Chun understood what the opportunity was, and said with a smile: "The Xianbei people are defenseless, we will kill early tomorrow morning, they are in a hurry, what do they use to resist and defend?" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone laughed.

Raid from afar, win in hand.

However, for the sake of insurance and safety, Cao Chun and the others did not dare to be too casual, and continued to send out various scouts, staring at the enemy's every move, and also staring at whether the enemy also sent scouts, or if there were any other movements.

Make sure everything is in order, that it's completely fine, and they can raid.

Time is fast.

When a glimmer of light slowly appeared in the east, Cao Chun woke everyone up.

At this time, the tiger and leopard rider had already replenished enough energy, and then quickly ate some dry food, and replenished his physical strength, and was almost ready to fight.

Cao Chun rode his horse first, walked to the top of the high slope, and looked at the enemy camp in the north, the lights in the camp were faintly visible, and the enemy was close at hand.

"Kill!"

Cao Chun shouted.

The tigers and leopards were all dispatched.
