That night, Cao Cao set off with his men and horses.

This time he had to be careful not to be discovered.

How much grain and grass Zhao Hui still has in his hands, Cao Cao, Xun You, Cheng Yu and others are not sure.

They only borrowed grain from Lu Bu through Zhao Hui to conclude that Zhao Hui had not much grain and grass in his hands.

Moreover, every time Zhao Hui went to a city, he took out a lot of grain and grass to fund the people who did not leave, and Cao Cao and others also knew this.

Therefore, it is true that there is a shortage of food in Zhao Hui's army. It was not that Zhao Hui deliberately guided and deceived Cao Cao.

Xun You, Cheng Yu and other strategists, Cao Cao didn't bring this one.

He is going to burn Zhao Hui's grain and grass, as long as he is an elite soldier, the most elite elite soldier.

None of the others.

The tiger and leopard rode in the battle of Guandu and had been completely lost.

Cao Cao only brought 500 people this time, and the 500 people were the most elite soldiers, many of whom were centurion captains.

All of them, all on war horses, carrying things that cause fire.

Overnight, Cao Cao ran more than 300 miles with men and horses.

Which way to go for those grains and grasses, Cao Cao is still uncertain.

Now he came out with five hundred men, and he could only be blinded.

You can only use the speed of the cavalry to find the team carrying the grain.

The five hundred of them are already alone, and they will completely lose contact with Xu Du.

Every time which way to go, Cao Cao decided temporarily.

Before leaving, no one knew, not even Cao Cao himself.

Not to mention Zhao Hui's spies.

Although the five hundred people came out at night, it was still a little difficult to completely hide from Zhao Hui's spies.

They were all cavalry, and as soon as the gates were opened, the spies guarding outside would find them.

Cao Cao could only use the speed of the cavalry, as well as random routes, to get rid of Zhao Hui's spies.

Five hundred people, all of them cavalry, after leaving the city, they can get rid of Zhao Hui's spies by running around casually.

Liu Bei is outside Yecheng, he can disappear without a trace, Cao Cao wants people to find it, naturally it is very easy.

He couldn't let Zhao Hui discover his whereabouts.

Cao Cao went out of the city that night, and at noon the next day, Zhao Hui received a message from Xu Du.

It's just that in the secret letter sent, Cao Cao was not mentioned.

In the darkness of the night, the spies only knew that there was a troop of cavalry out of the city, but the spies could not find out who was leading the way.

They can only see from a distance, but at night, there are no lights, and it is difficult to distinguish.

"Xu Du has 500 cavalry out of the city, where will it go?"

When Zhao Hui received the news, he asked Xu Shu, Jia Xu, Xu Yu and others to discuss.

At this time, Zhao Hui must attach great importance to any wind and grass in Xu Du.

Originally, Cao Cao's troops were seriously insufficient. At this time, it was absolutely impossible for Cao Cao to disperse his forces.

What's more, it was still 500 cavalry who went out of the city at night.

Cao Cao didn't even have the war horses that the tigers and leopards rode at the beginning, and he dispatched 500 cavalry at once, which was definitely a bloody investment.

Xu Shu said: "What is Cao Cao going to gamble on?" ”

Five hundred cavalry, although the number is small, but the destructive power and influence are already extraordinary.

I think that at the beginning, Zhao Hui was just two hundred Mo sword iron horses, and he turned the grassland upside down, so that those grassland tribes were afraid and did not dare to disturb Youzhou.

The purpose of the five hundred cavalry, Zhao Hui must figure it out.

"Those five hundred people, out of Xudu, in which direction?" Jia Xu asked.

Zhao Hui said: "South, but there will be no news soon." ”

The spies didn't dare to chase too close, but they followed south for half an hour, and then completely lost Cao Cao's trace.

"To the south?" Jia Xu frowned.

Xu Shu said: "Could it be that you are going to Jingzhou to help Cai Mao kill Liu Bei?" Or do you want to help Liu Bei kill Cai Mao? ”

Jia Xu shook his head and said: "No, it's not to Jingzhou, if it's to Jingzhou, the five hundred people should go north first, and then go south." ”

Zhao Hui said: "What does Wenhe mean that the five hundred cavalry are coming for us?" ”

"Yes." Jia Xu nodded.

Xu You said with a smile: "With only five hundred cavalry, how dare you come to our 150,000 army?" ”

Don't have an army of more than 100,000 here, even if there are only 10,000 troops, not 500 cavalry can deal with it.

If the five hundred cavalry really came, they wouldn't even be able to harass them.

Among Zhao Hui's 100,000 troops, there were also more than 5,000 cavalry.

Even if it is cavalry against cavalry, it is ten times that of Cao's army.

How can Cao Cao fight?

"I know Cao Cao well, unless he is crazy in his brain, he will never act like this, it is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg." Xu Yu said.

Cao Cao is adventurous, but his adventures are adventurous in the eyes of ordinary people, but in his own heart, he must think that there is a possibility of success.

Knowing that he would undoubtedly lose, Cao Cao definitely looked for another way, rather than insisting on going his own way.

Xu Shu said: "If Cao Cao didn't come for us, then what would be the purpose of these five hundred cavalry?" ”

The pensive Jia Xu spoke: "I probably guessed. ”

"Wen He said quickly." Xu Shu said.

Jia Xu said: "Five hundred cavalry, if you really want to deal with us, then you can only start from the grain and grass." ”

"They want to burn our grain and grass?" Xu Shu said: "Now the grain and grass are still in Puyang, the city gate is closed, and there are guards patrolling, and it is impossible for five hundred cavalry to enter the city." ”

Jia Xu said: "In addition to Puyang, we are outside the city, and now there is grain and grass. ”

"I understand, it's the 80,000 stones escorted by Fengxiao and Zilong."

Zhao Hui said: "How many people did Lu Bu send to escort him?" ”

"There are three thousand."

Guo Jia also sent all the information back a long time ago.

"Lord, if the five hundred cavalry that Xu Du came out of, he really wants to attack these 80,000 stone grains and grass, and there is still a great risk."

Zhao Yun and his more than 3,000 people, no more than 100 war horses, and they couldn't stop the 500 cavalry who were bent on burning grain and grass.

They didn't need to fight, they just had to rush over on their horses and set the grain and grass on fire.

Not to mention the escort of grain and grass, there are only more than 3,000 people.

Even if there are 10,000 men and 500 cavalry, it can be done.

You don't even need to get closer, you just need to shoot a grain cart with a rocket at a distance.

Grain and herbs are very easy to burn.

As long as there is a little fire, it can grow quickly, and a grain truck can be burned out without the time of a single cup of tea.

If the wind is stronger, the fire will be blown onto the adjacent grain cart.

The whole two teams will be a sea of fire in an instant.

"Inform Feng Xiao Zilong immediately and tell them to be careful." Zhao Hui said.

"In addition, send out 3,000 cavalry to patrol around the grain team."

Although there are only 80,000 stone grain and grass, even if it is gone, Zhao Jun can still hold on for a while, and the grain and grass from Jizhou is almost there.

However, the burning of grain and grass still had a great impact on the morale of the army.

Moreover, it is prone to variability.

Zhao Hui still had to make sure that the 80,000 stone grains and grass could arrive in Puyang safely.
