"Exchange messages every half an hour." Cao Cao added. This is to prevent someone from being ambushed and unable to call for help.
"Here!"
Cao Xiu and Li Tong took the order and left. The three thousand soldiers and horses quickly dispersed. Although in order to conceal their whereabouts, the three thousand tiger and leopard cavalry still crossed the river with their horses.
If the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry does not have a war horse, will it still be called the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry? Not even 10% of the combat effectiveness can be used.
At the beginning, Cao Cao was cautious on his way.
Going north, we did not encounter any enemies, only occasional pedestrians. When these pedestrians saw Cao Cao and others wearing Liu Zhejun's military uniforms, they did not panic at all. Instead, they showed great enthusiasm and answered all Cao Cao's questions. , allowing Cao Cao to easily figure out the terrain here.
After figuring out the terrain, Cao Cao became bolder. At first, he tried to avoid places with people, but later he became bolder and walked directly through villages or small towns. The county soldiers did not dare to come up and ask any questions. Let Cao Cao pass easily.
But for those cities, Cao Cao did not dare to enter. He tried to take detours as much as possible. If it was not possible, he would wait far away and wait until night before sneaking around.
Although there were many emergencies along the way, they were just near misses. No one suspected that Cao Cao and the others were enemies. Even if some soldiers doubted the origins of Cao Cao and the others, as long as Cao Cao showed his face and shouted loudly, those soldiers I didn't dare to say another word, and even if I had any doubts, I didn't dare to express them.
"Hey, it's so relaxing." Cao Xiu couldn't help but sigh.
The ease along the way made the troops and horses, who were originally five miles apart and divided into three groups, very close to each other. The distance between them was less than two miles. Cao Xiu and Li Tong simply asked their lieutenants to lead the way, and The two of them ran to Cao Cao.
"Yeah, you wouldn't know if you didn't come here. It turns out that Liu Zhe's rule is so lax. I waited here and swaggered on my way, and no one suspected it. It's so funny." A sneer appeared at the corner of Han Song's mouth.
"I can already imagine the surprise on Liu Zhe's face when the prime minister led us to Liyang."
"No one would have thought that the Prime Minister would personally take action and lead us to fight from the north." Li Tongtong.
"Don't be careless." Hearing his men's words, Cao Cao couldn't help showing the slightest trace of pride on his face.
He and his men have traveled nearly a hundred miles behind Liu Zhe, and they have not been discovered by the enemy yet. Once word spread, they could brag about it for half a year.
I also led people to flee hundreds of miles behind Liu Zhe.
But this was not enough to make Cao Cao happy and lose his mind. Cao Cao still remained calm. He knew what his ultimate goal was.
There is nothing to be happy about as he swaggers behind Liu Zhe. Li Yang must be defeated and Li Yang's food and grass must be burned to the ground.
"The enemy's emptiness is the opportunity we are waiting for."
Cao Cao said to his subordinates: "No matter how careless Liu Zhe's people are, we cannot be careless. We must be careful in everything."
"Here!" Cao Xiu and the other three took the order.
"We must continue to send more manpower. We are not far from Liyang now, and there are still two or three days to go. During this time, we must not be careless." Cao Cao ordered.
This is already the boundary of Yecheng. As the new administrative seat of Jizhou, Yecheng has a strong defense force. In addition, it is a war period, and there will definitely be a large number of soldiers and horses here, so Cao Cao does not dare to be careless.
"Find a place to hide and wait until night before heading out again." Cao Cao ordered again.
"yes."
Cao Xiu accepted the order: "My subordinates will make arrangements immediately."
Cao Xiu immediately sent out some soldiers to explore the nearby terrain and find a suitable place to rest.
However, in the afternoon, someone sent a message.
"Did you find a strange team?"
After receiving the information from his subordinates, Cao Xiu showed confusion on his face and asked, "What kind of strange method is it?"
¡°There is a team of children and prisoners.¡± The subordinate replied.
"Children and prisoners?"
This answer made Cao Xiu even more confused, and he asked: "Where are they?"
"Just five miles ahead, we will meet at the next official road intersection." the subordinate replied.
"Will we encounter it? Can we avoid it?" Cao Xiu asked.
"My subordinates don't think it's possible. They discovered them and were discovered by them as well." His subordinates replied.
"Damn it." Cao Xiu couldn't help but scolded his mother.Appearing means there is no way to avoid it.
"General, what should we do now?" His subordinates asked. We are not far from Yecheng now. If we are not careful, we will find out and all our efforts will be wasted.
"I will tell the prime minister." Cao Xiu hurried back to find Cao Cao.
"A strange team?" Cao Cao was also puzzled. Damn, a team composed of children, Liu Zhe's troops and prisoners? What the hell is this?
When Cao Cao came to Jizhou, he just wanted to take Li Yang away safely, burn Liu Zhe's food and grass, and then go home safely. He didn't want to cause trouble. When he encountered large groups of soldiers and horses along the way, he avoided them first and refused to fight with them. contact
