Chapter 043-Fighting a Team Head-on, Stealing from the Home Behind, This Is Very Scientific! (Evaluation votes)
Less than two hours after Yuwen Cheng left, he led a thousand black armored cavalry to catch up with the main force.
Just as Cao Xuan was feeling a little surprised, Yuwen Cheng returned the Scorching Sun Bow.
"Lord, Guan Yu has retreated."
"Huh?"
Cao Xuan could not help but feel puzzled, what did he mean by retreating?
Did he not even fight? This wasn't Guan Er's style.
In fact, Cao Xuan did not expect the Heavy Armored Cavalry to be so intimidating.
Guan Yu only brought 3,000 cavalrymen with him, in order to increase their speed and catch up with Cao Xuan.
They tried their best to abandon most of their supplies.
Guan Yu knew that the people he brought along were no different from sending themselves to their deaths.
He did not expect Cao Xuan to have such a heavy cavalry.
If they were on the battlefield, just the lethality of these 1,000 people alone would not be enough.
It was estimated to be comparable to an army of 20,000.
Seeing that the situation was not looking good, Guan Yu led his men back to Eternal City without any hesitation.
However, the two sides had only met face to face. This made Yuwen Cheng, who wanted to complete Cao Xuan's orders,
He felt as if he had punched the air, and he couldn't help but feel uncomfortable.
Cao Xuan nodded slightly, indicating that she understood.
"Looks like this Guan Er isn't a boor. What a pity!”
After saying this sentence without any rhyme or reason, he immediately led the army and hurried through the night.
It was not a big problem for Liu Bei.
However, it seemed that Old Cao did not know about this. The points had not yet been transferred to his account, which made him very depressed.
Three days later, in Zhi County in Yuzhou.
Cao Xuan was sitting on a chair, nibbling on a roasted chicken leg.
He smiled as he looked at the tightly bound middle-aged official in front of him.
"Passerby A, are you saying that Yuan Shu personally led the army?”
The middle-aged official gulped, his expression showing a hint of panic.
"Sir, this one is called Zhang Kai, Your Majesty. It's not."
"In order to boost morale, the traitor Yuan Shu has indeed led his army to Gu City.”
"We have also received military orders to defend to the death. Please spare my life.”
Cao Xuan looked at him with a faint smile and said with satisfaction,"
"It doesn't matter what your name is, but I'm very satisfied with your attitude.”
Beside him, Xiahou Hu frowned and muttered.
"General, we're only a hundred and fifty miles away from Gu City.”
"If we continue forward, I'm afraid we will encounter the main force under Yuan Shu. Do you think so?"
Xiahou He wanted to stop here and return to Ru Yin to wait for Cao Cao's army.
Cao Xuan snapped her fingers and exclaimed,"
"Your idea is very good. Since Yuan Shu has personally gone into battle, the rear must be empty.”
"Let's take advantage of Yuan Shu's absence and raid his hometown, Shouchun!”
"Fighting a team head-on and stealing from behind, this is very scientific!”
"Yan Qing, how far is this place from Shouchun?”
Upon hearing Cao Xuan's words, Xiahou He broke out in cold sweat.
What is this? Are we sure we're chatting on the same channel?
Two days ago, I thought you were going to fight Shouchun, but you went to fight Liu Bei instead.
Now that Yuan Shu's army is in front of us, I thought you would run back.
And now you're telling me that you want to raid Yuan Shu's hometown?
This was simply unconstrained and unrestrained. Even a book wouldn't dare to write it like this!
"Oh, master, this place is still about three hundred miles away from Shouchun.”
"However, there are many passes and cities along the way. We're unfamiliar with the place and people, so I'm afraid it'll be difficult for us to hide.”
Yan Qing walked out from behind Cao Xuan and opened up a map.
He drew a winding route on the map.
There were even a few important markings, which were the big cities in Yuzhou and Huainan.
Cao Xuan could not help but feel a headache coming on. After all, it was just a thought, but it had to be realized.
There were still many difficulties.
If he sent a message behind him, he would definitely be surrounded.
At that time, it would be dangerous for a lone army to go deep. It was not difficult to supply food and grass.
Although the boundary of Lianghuai was harmed by Yuan Shu, the people complained endlessly.
But it was still the same sentence. Those who should be rich and those who should be poor.
These wealthy merchants and wealthy families did not have much of an impact. Instead, they made a lot of money from the national disaster.
"Sir."
Zhang Kai, who was tied up in the courtyard, said hesitantly.
"I'm a local and I know a mountain road that goes around Meng City to Ping 'a.”
Cao Xuan's eyes lit up as she turned to look at the map.
If they could pass through Shansang, they could bypass Meng City and reach Ping 'a.
In that case, he would be less than 80 miles away from Shouchun.
Eighty miles was a concept. The army traveled day and night, and they only needed a day to reach Shouchun City.
Only then did he size up Passerby A with interest.
"Oh? Why are you helping me?"
Zhang Kai looked embarrassed. After hesitating for a moment, he chose to tell the truth.
"I want to live, and I want to be promoted and rich.”
"Hahaha, brilliant."
"Yan Qing, bring him along. We'll take the mountain road to Ping 'a.”
Hearing that Cao Xuan had made up his mind, Xiahou Hu could not help but say nervously,"
"General, please reconsider. How do we know if this person is trying to trick us into sending us to our deaths?”
When Zhang Kai heard this, he hurriedly kowtowed.
"Lord, please rest assured. Yuan Shu will die sooner or later. I can see that you have an extraordinary bearing and must be a big shot.”
"In the future, I am willing to serve you and never betray you. Please give me a chance!”
Xiahou He wanted to say something, but Cao Xuan waved his hand lightly.
"I don't want to listen to that nonsense. Oh right, I haven't introduced myself yet."”
"I am Cao Xuan, the son of Cao Cao.”
"Help me reach Shouchun, and I'll guarantee that you'll be promoted and rich for a lifetime.”
"Just in case, I'll bring his family along. You don't have any objections, right?”
When he heard Cao Xuan's identity, Zhang Kai was so shocked that he could not recover from his shock.
Hearing Cao Xuan's question, he nodded.
"I understand! Please rest assured, my lord!"
"This mountain road is not marked on the topographic map, so there will definitely be no defenses.”
