At noon, a scout came to report that Cao's army was pulling out the village and was retreating in the direction of Jiyin.

It is no wonder that Cao Jun injured many generals last night, and he still failed to leave Lu Bu, resulting in low morale and no intention of fighting.

In such a state, Cao Cao had no choice but to retreat.

When the generals learned of this, many people clenched their fists and asked for their lives, asking to lead the army to pursue. Even if Cao's army cannot be completely annihilated, at least a lot of baggage materials can be intercepted.

Lu Bu was a little moved, but Guo Jia persuaded him: Poor Kou Mo chase.

Lu Bu groaned slightly, thinking carefully.

At this time, Gai Xi, the captain of the military academy under the tent, clenched his fists and said bluntly: "Lord Guo is young, how can the lord listen to his words and give up this great opportunity?" ”

Gai Xi is the fifth son of Liangzhou Mu Gai Xun, because Lu Bu and Gai Xun are good friends, and he has some fist and foot skills, and is familiar with the art of war, so he was recommended to serve under Lu Bu.

There are many such examples, many of them have taken refuge in Lu Bu's family, and most of the children in their clan will be recommended as officials, as a means for Lu Bu to win over the family.

Most of the people at the bottom are almost illiterate, and the family that monopolizes knowledge management is particularly important.

Although as early as the first two years, Lu Bu listened to the opinions of Xicuo and expanded many colleges in Bingzhou and Guanzhong, but it will take at least ten to twenty years of hard work for this group of students to grow up.

Therefore, during this period of time, it still has to rely on the Maison to provide a large number of talents.

Gai Xi's meaning is very simple, Cao Cao was defeated and left, and he should take advantage of the victory to pursue.

God doesn't take it, but suffers the blame!

In the face of Gai Xi's rebuke, Guo Jia sneered, thinking that he was disdainful, but he didn't bother to argue with him.

There is a cloud in "The Art of War: Military Struggle": Therefore, the method of using soldiers, do not go to Gaoling, do not go against the back hills, do not follow the north, do not attack sharp soldiers, do not eat bait, do not stop returning to the division, besiege the division must be que, and do not chase the poor.

Don't say good things twice, anyway, what should be reminded has already been reminded, as for the specific plan, it depends on Lu Bu's own thinking.

Seeing that Guo Jia was speechless, Gai Xi thought that he was being said by himself, and he couldn't help but feel a little proud in his heart, and immediately clenched his fists: "Lord, the last general is willing to lead the troops to pursue and dedicate Cao Cao's head to the lord's account." ”

If Cao Cao was so easy to kill, it wouldn't be Cao Cao.

Lu Bu shook his head slightly, and did not agree to Gai Xi's proposal, but just asked the scout to continue to closely monitor Cao Jun's movements.

Cao Cao is familiar with military books and strategies, and now there are uncles and nephews of the Xun family to help him.

Lu Bu didn't have much concept of these two people at first, and when it came to his impression, he only had a one-sided relationship when he was fighting for the Yellow Turban.

But later, I heard that these two people have the talents of Zhang Liang and Xiao He, and they can't be taken lightly.

Therefore, Lu Bu kept these two people in mind.

Back in the camp tent, Gai Xi angrily left his helmet on the ground, holding back the anger in his stomach.

Zhu Ping, a confidant soldier, picked up the helmet from the ground, patted the mud and dust on it, and then hung it on the wooden shelf, and asked tentatively: "General, what's wrong with you?" ”

Gai Xi was angry in his heart, and there was no good look on his face, so he said loudly without hesitation: "Today's discussion, the lord listens to the words of a small child, and if we don't use our good policies, how can we achieve great things!" ”

"General, silence!"

Hearing this, Zhu Ping was startled, hurriedly made a 'shhh

Talking about the rights and wrongs of the lord behind his back, if he is caught, it is a big crime.

"What are you afraid of, what I'm saying is just the truth."

Gai Xi was still indignant, and slapped his palm on the table: "If the lord continues to listen to the nonsense of the kid surnamed Guo, why should we go out of the customs this time, we will simply stay in the customs for the rest of our lives." ”

After hearing the truth from Gai Xi's mouth, Zhu Ping made a suggestion: "If the general is sure that he can defeat Cao Cao, why not lead his troops and horses to pursue him?" ”

Gai Xi also thought about it, but when he was deliberating, Lu Bu had already made it clear that they were not allowed to pursue without authorization.

This is a military order.

The fate of disobeying military orders is well known to the generals.

The light is a hundred military sticks, and the heavy is beheaded for public display.

"When the general picks Cao Cao's head, then the lord and other generals will have nothing to say." handed Gai Xi a bowl of cold water, and Zhu Ping encouraged him in a low voice.

When Gai Xi heard this, his eyes suddenly glowed with gold.

If it is really as Zhu Ping said, when he returns victoriously after taking Cao Cao's head, everyone in the barracks, including Lu Bu, will definitely be impressed by him.

Even if you disobey the military order, you can make up for it.

What's more, his father is a Liangzhou pastor, even if he violates military regulations, Lu Bu will not put him to death for the sake of his father's face.

Just do it.

Gai Xi made up his mind, but with his current power, he could only mobilize more than 1,000 soldiers and horses, which was less than Cao Cao's tens of thousands of troops.

So, he ordered Zhu Ping to invite two other lieutenants, Ding Shou and Luo Shi, who were good friends with him, to explain his intentions.

Both of them are characters from Xiliang, and their tempers are relatively straightforward.

After listening to Gai Xi's remarks, the two of them were a little moved, but they were afraid that Cao Cao's men had more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, and the disparity in troops was huge, and it was difficult to win.

Gai Xi didn't think so, as if he had a chance to win: "The lord led a hundred horsemen to dare to attack the camp, and the soldiers and horses under my command were combined, not to mention more than 4,000 people, and the remnants of the army pursuing Cao Cao were defeated, so why be afraid?" ”

"Besides, the lord relies on his gang of generals and state generals, and it is not a day or two to despise us, and we should be the witness of Xiliang boy."

Gai Xi's later words finally made Ding Shou and Luo Shi make up their minds.

Rather than continue to be obscure like this, it is better to simply give him a go.

So, the three of them joined forces and horses, led by Gai Xi, and did not report to Lü Bu, so they went out of the camp to pursue Cao's army without authorization.

When he walked out of the gate of the camp, Xue Lan, who was in charge of patrolling the periphery, happened to bump into the three of them, and asked them suspiciously why they came out of the camp.

Ding Shou and Luo Shi were obviously a little weak-hearted, and they were embarrassed, and they didn't know how to explain.

However, Gai Xi was calm, lying that he was ordered to go out of the camp, saying that he was going out to carry out important business.

As for the specific orders to be carried out, Gai Xi didn't say much, and Xue Lan didn't want to ask clearly.

Some tasks related to confidentiality are not allowed to be disclosed to others, so Xue Lan didn't ask any more, just said to the three of them to be careful, and continued to lead the troops to patrol.

Under Lu Bu's battalion, military discipline has always been strict, and almost no one dares to violate the ban.

Therefore, Xue Lan thought that these three people should not be bold enough to lie about military orders.

It wasn't until an hour later that Xue Lan handed over to Li Feng and inadvertently talked about it.

Li Feng, who sensed that something was not quite right, hurriedly went to report to Lu Bu, saying that Gai Xi had led the soldiers and horses out of the camp.
