Chapter 445: Teaching to Be a Man (I)
Chen Ao left Cao Yi's residence, feeling a little lighter. Although he failed to achieve his original goal, letting Cao Yi stay in Lanzhou without hindering his actions can be regarded as achieving certain results.
Moreover, I heard the news about the gate of time and space from Cao Yi today, which can be regarded as an unexpected joy. Chen Ao could see that Cao Yi was not lying to himself. Because Cao Yi is strictly speaking, he doesn't mix well. He and Chen Ao traveled to this era, and the initial circumstances were very different. Chen Ao is just a hard-working county order, and after passing five levels and killing six generals, he has finally come to this day. And Cao Yi was the son of an official eunuch from the beginning, and it was smooth sailing.
However, in his previous life, Cao Yi was just a ruthless gangster, a drug dealer, who only knew how to eat, drink, prostitute and smoke. In this era, he could only play to his strengths and create a Joy Villa. Although business is booming, the mainstream evaluation is limited to an idler who only knows how to have fun. The reason why Cao Yi tried everything possible to get Zhao Heng's favor was also because he wanted to change his embarrassing position.
Chen Ao couldn't help but compare Cao Yi with himself, although both of them were marquises. But Cao Yi, the happy marquis, no matter how you look at it, it looks like he's here to be funny. And what about himself? Gui Yihou! Listen to how majestic! Looking at the strength of the two of them, he is the leader of the upright martial arts alliance and the helmsman of the salt gang, and the official admits it. As for Cao Yi, his subordinates established an axe gang, but they never saw the light.
I have to say that although the two seem to be almost the same, they are actually very different. Chen Ao couldn't help but be complacent, thinking, it's really better than not knowing, I'm scared, it turns out that Lao Tzu is so awesome!
However, what Cao Yi said is really a matter worth considering! If we can really return to the future again, it will be a great thing. In that way, not only can he reunite with his parents, but he can also take Zhao Ling Xiaoya and others to the 21st century to see the world. When the time comes, I will bury a bunch of treasures, not to mention anything else, just collect a few plates and bowls for eating every day, and take out a few random pieces in the future, that is a priceless treasure.
At that time, he also became a billionaire, driving cruise ships every day, taking Zhao Ling Xiaoya and them around the world, and since then he has reached the pinnacle of life. It's really exciting to think about......
Chen Ao thought about his thoughts as he returned to his residence. Zhao Ling was startled when he saw his smirking expression, and thought that Chen Ao was stupid by Cao Yiqi. Chen Ao briefly explained to her what happened, and Zhao Ling was relieved. Since Cao Yi is greedy for life and afraid of death, and is unwilling to follow the army, it is up to him to go. The two discussed the plan for tomorrow's dispatch on the map, and then rested separately.
Early the next morning, Cao Yi sent Chen Ao out of the city with a smile. As soon as Chen Ao led his army to cross the river, he received the news of the return of the front-line horse exploration. Originally, the cities of Dingzhou and Hejian were thick and thick, and the Liao army was not good at siege operations, so it was almost impossible to capture these two important military towns. Chen Ao and Zhao Ling also planned to go north today, striving to reach Yongning as soon as possible, and join the defenders of the two cities to form a line to resist the enemy.
Who knew that when the defenders of the two cities heard about the loss of Cangzhou, they did not dare to go out of the city to fight, and blindly retreated to defend. Empress Dowager Xiao took advantage of this and ordered the army to besiege the city without fighting, and moved to the army herself and took command. However, he ordered Xiao Tzu Rin to lead the army around the two cities, form a pincer shape with the soldiers and horses of Guanyin Nu on the eastern front, and go directly south. Now Xiao Tzu Rin's vanguard, 10,000 cavalry, is like a bamboo, and it has approached Jizhou. And the soldiers and horses of the Eastern Front, although they were blocked in the Jing'an Army, also had an advantage. If there is no support from the Song army, I am afraid that in a few days, I will have to break through the defense line of Jing'an.
Hearing the news, Zhao Ling was also taken aback. Passing around the city and going deep alone is a taboo for soldiers, I didn't expect that Empress Dowager Xiao had such courage and dangerous moves. Not only did Zhao Ling not expect it, but even the defenders everywhere didn't expect it. originally thought that he was the rear, but he knew that he would become the front line in the blink of an eye. Because of this, many places were easily captured by the enemy.
Zhao Ling hurriedly asked Chen Ao to give an order to stop the army from advancing, unfold the map by himself, and study it for a while. Lin stood aside, also without saying a word. After a few days of contact, he also admired the "Zhao Junshi" beside Chen Ao very much. Although he was born in a general, he has learned the art of war since he was a child, and he has many years of experience in battle formations. But in many places, Zhao Junshi has shown his superiority. In particular, Zhao Ling likes to highlight strange soldiers, does not play cards according to common sense, and always has unexpected ideas, which makes Lin very interested. Therefore, seeing Zhao Ling thinking, Lin quietly waited for her to speak first.
Zhao Ling looked at it for a while, and said to Chen Ao: "There is only one pass of the Jing'an Army on the eastern front, if it is broken through, the Khitan cavalry will really be a horse and a flat river." Support is necessary here, but the pressure on Jizhou is also great. Although we don't have many people, we have to divide our troops. ”
Lin nodded, he also had this idea. Seeing that his military advisor and deputy general all had the same idea, Chen Ao naturally followed suit and asked Lin Dao: "General Lin, how do you think this soldier should be divided?"
Lin Dao: "There is a Khitan army behind the direction of Jizhou, and the pressure is greater, so the general should lead the main force to support." As for the east road, the last general is willing to lead 5,000 Ma Bu troops to rush to the Jing'an army!"
Chen Ao was once again kind and agreed to Lin's suggestion. So Lin Dianqi gathered 2,500 cavalry and 2,500 infantry troops and went their separate ways. Chen Ao led the remaining 20,000 men to speed up and move north.
That night, the army rushed to Qinghe and camped to rest. During this period, he received a military intelligence report, Xiao Tzulin divided his troops to occupy the surrounding counties of Jizhou, and wanted to repeat the old tricks and turn Jizhou into an isolated city. Zhao Ling stood in front of the map for a few hours. Chen Ao almost thought that she had every mountain and river in this area in mind.
Early the next morning, the army set out again. By noon, Chen Ao was about to order the whole army to rest on the spot. Suddenly, he saw the horse galloping in front of him, and shouted: "General, the Liao army has been found ten miles ahead!"
Chen Ao's face changed, and his heart suddenly jumped wildly. After walking for so many days, I finally came into contact with the Liao army. Although I have been constantly giving myself psychological hints in advance, I have prepared myself psychologically. But when it really comes to an end, I can't help but be nervous.
He was so nervous that he forgot to give the order. Zhao Ling hurriedly whispered: "General! General!"
Chen Ao came back to his senses and glanced at her blankly, he was a little flustered, and he even forgot what Zhao Ling had taught him beforehand. Zhao Ling had no choice but to remind: "Order the infantry to line up and explore the horses again!"
Chen Ao suddenly came to his senses and shouted, "Array! Meet the enemy!"
The heralds hurriedly rode their horses to the front and back of the procession, shouting loudly as they ran: "Array to meet the enemy!"
