After a busy day with nothing, Cao Cao and the others gathered together and frowned!
Cao Cao looked up to the sky and sighed." This Wang Mou is really Cao Cao's nemesis!”
"This won't do. We're basically falling into his control. If this continues, he'll play us to death!”
Cao Hong glanced at Le Jin from the corner of his eyes." Then, do you have any good ideas?"”
"If I had a good idea, why would I be complaining here?”
"Then stop talking nonsense!"
"What's wrong? Can't I even say a few words?"
"No, I'm annoyed!"
"If it annoys you, then don't listen!"
"Le Wenqian, do you want to fight?"
"If you want to come, then come. Who's afraid of who?"
Cao Cao rubbed his head, feeling a headache coming on." Enough, stop arguing. You guys are already impatient. The more you act like this, the more Wang Mou will be happy to see it. Don't let him see you as a joke!"”
The two of them glared at each other and gave up, sulking alone.
"Meng De, you really have to make a decision!”
Cao Cao had no choice but to turn to Xi Zhicai." What can you teach me, sir?"”
"First, the most important thing is to find out how many people Wang Mou has brought with him this time. This matter is very important. Only by figuring it out can we respond and not be led by him.”
"What method does Zhicai have?”
"If I'm not wrong, the enemy will definitely harass us again tonight.”
Xiahou Yuan slapped his thigh."That's easy. Send people to ambush around the camp. If they really dare to come, we can eliminate them."”
Xi Zhicai shook his head." That's inappropriate! First, the movement of the army was too big and might not be hidden. Secondly, harassing only required a few dozen people. Wang Mou might not be among them. Killing those few people would only alert the enemy. Thirdly, they still couldn't figure out their numbers.”
"Zhicai, what do you think?"
Xi Zhicai smiled and said confidently,""Send a few clever scouts to hide in the hidden places around the camp. Even if the enemy comes, there is no need to show up. You just need to keep an eye on them in secret and wait for them to leave.”
Cao Cao clapped his hands and was overjoyed." Great! Let's do it this way!"”
"You guys should hurry up and rest. Otherwise, you won't be able to sleep tonight!”
"Yes!"
As expected, in the middle of the night, the disturbing war drums sounded again, disturbing people's dreams.
Cao Cao and the others were already prepared, and they gathered in the commander's tent with cold smiles on their faces.
However, a portion of the soldiers who had not slept for a day and a night could not do it. They had just fallen asleep when they were woken up. It was obvious how angry they were. One by one, they rushed out of the tent and cursed in the direction of the drum.
The entire camp was in chaos.
Cao Cao frowned and ordered,"Go and pacify them. Don't do anything else!"”
"No!"
Xi Zhicai objected." Send a troop in the direction of the drum. We must do what we should do. We cannot arouse Wang Mou's suspicion."”
Cao Cao felt that it made sense." Do as I say!"
"Yes!"
The other generals went to appease the soldiers. Xiahou Yuan personally led a group of people in the direction of the drum. As expected, he did not catch a single person.
The disturbance lasted for a long time before it gradually quieted down under the comfort of the general. The soldiers returned to their tents to sleep.
However, not long after they slept, the war drums sounded again, tormenting them to the point of death.
"It's in the other direction. It looks like they're planning to harass us a few more times tonight."”
Xi Zhicai nodded." Don't worry about him. Just send someone over to put on an act!”
After switching positions and firing four shots consecutively, Wang Mou finally led his team away.
However, he did not realize that every time they harassed him, there was a pair of eyes watching them in the dark. Even when they left, there were a few small tails following behind them.
"Young Master, why did you harass me a few more times this time?”
"Nothing much. I just didn't give them time to rest and forced the Cao army to stop. I slowed down their marching speed and bought time for Peng City! However, this method could not be used tomorrow night.”
"Why?"
"There is no more than three times. Cao Cao will not fall for it three times in a row. If we go tomorrow night, what awaits us will be an ambush.”
"Then what should we do? Go back directly?"
"No, there will be an ambush tomorrow night, and it won't be safe the night after. We'll go find trouble with them two days later. With these few days, I believe Peng Cheng has already made preparations.”
"Young Master is brilliant!"
Wang Mou sighed." There's nothing I can do about it. If I had enough troops, I wouldn't have to be afraid of fighting Cao Mengde head-on. Why would I have to resort to such petty tricks…"
Wang Mou, who had inadvertently turned his head, saw a figure flash past under the moonlight. He was shocked!
Without making a sound, he gave Dian Wei a look. After a few dozen people ran for a distance, they disappeared into a mountain in the blink of an eye.
The two Cao scouts were as agile as monkeys. They quickly reached the edge of the mountain. When they turned around, they were faced with shiny sabers and spears.
Shocked, the two were about to turn around and escape when Dian Wei grabbed them with one hand.
Seeing that there was no hope of escaping, the two of them immediately shouted," There's danger! Run!”
"Shut up!"
Dian Wei and the others were furious, but they couldn't stop it.
Wang Mou frowned and turned around the mountain. He immediately saw two figures leaving.
"He actually has accomplices!"
