Chapter 34 The Visit of the Old Man

Late at night, outside Luoyang City, a ride is running!

Cao Cao kept whipping the horse under his crotch with a rattan whip, which was a very dangerous thing to gallop at night, a raised rock, or a rat hole hidden in the grass, could break the leg of the galloping horse, and thus break the rider on the horse's back, or even break the rider's neck. Therefore, unless it is absolutely necessary, the cavalry will never choose to fight at night.

As we all know, Cao Cao is cunning by nature, and has always been famous for his outstanding strategy, but what the world does not know is that Cao Cao's martial arts and riding skills are actually very outstanding, and it is recorded in the "Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms": Emperor Wu of Wei, young horseback hunting, good at fencing, quite brave!

It's a pity that because the traitorous character is too outstanding, in the end, the world only remembers his treacherousness, but ignores that he also has a brave side.

He naturally knew the danger of galloping on a horse late at night, but now he couldn't take care of everything, and now Cao Cao had only one thought in his heart, "Hurry up!" Hurry up! Faster! ”

In political struggle, to earn is to take the first step, the first to strike is strong, and the second to start is bound to suffer!

Time is pressing, all the success or failure is tonight, no matter whether He Jin enters the palace today, early tomorrow morning, the 'Ten Standing Servants' will inevitably gather the ministers to enter the court, and then take advantage of the advantage of occupying the palace to support the emperor's second son Liu Xie as the new monarch.

As the General's Mansion, which has always been hostile to the 'Ten Standing Servants', it will definitely be killed by then, and there will be no chickens and dogs!

Now the only way to turn defeat into victory is to transfer troops into the city overnight, surround the palace, and then summon the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, rush into the inner court, take the first step to support the new monarch, and then immediately kill the 'Ten Standing Servants', cut the grass and eradicate the roots, and leave no one behind!

This is the political struggle, although brutal, but very realistic!

If you want to kill, you must have a sword in your hand, a murderous sword!

The army, the army is the key to it, and the 'Xuanjia Iron Cavalry' elite soldier who came from Yanmen Pass, as well as the fierce, calm, and loyal young black-clothed warrior, this is the purpose of Cao Cao's trip.

The reason why Xiao Yi's 'Xuanjia Iron Cavalry' was chosen was for two reasons, one was that the tiger talisman was controlled by the inner court of the 'Ten Standing Servants', and although there were tens of thousands of garrisons around Luoyang, they couldn't move a single soldier at all.

Second, the 'Ten Standing Servants' have been in control of the government for a long time, the tree has deep roots, not only in the court is full of minions, but also in the army There are a large number of eyes and ears, if other armies are forcibly mobilized, it will inevitably leak the news, once the grass startles the snake, forcing the 'Ten Standing Servants' to preempt the killer, it will be bad.

And Xiao Yi's troops and horses do not have the above shortcomings, they do not belong to the Luoyang garrison system, naturally they do not need to be restricted by the inner court tiger charm, the best thing is that they all came from the distant Yanmen Pass, and they have no relationship with any forces in the court, and there is no cause and effect between the 'ten permanent servants', and it is extremely convenient to use.

Cao Cao galloped while thinking about how to persuade Xiao Yi to send troops on horseback, after all, the two had only one side before, and they belonged to different military systems, one was the staff of the General's Mansion, and the other was the commander of the Yanmen Border Army.

"To lure them in? To coerce? Or is it emotional? ......" After thinking about it, Cao Cao soon came to the vicinity of the Imperial Garden, and in the bright moonlight, a neat and solemn military camp appeared in front of him.

The barracks are built by the mountains and waters, occupy a sunny hillside, the vegetation here is luxuriant, can provide sufficient forage for the war horses, and is close to the water source, there is no need to worry about the drinking water of the army, there are several deep trenches on the periphery of the barracks, there are lookouts at the four corners, all the movements around can not escape its reconnaissance, there are also a large number of fences, horses, antlers and other things around Dazhai, and the defense is extremely strict.

In addition, the relatively flat terrain around this place is extremely conducive to the galloping of cavalry, which can be called offensive and defensible!

Cao Cao himself is also familiar with military books and tactics since childhood, these years under the command of the general He Jin, but also proficient in military affairs, experts as soon as they stretch out their hands, they know if there is, with his military attainments, naturally at a glance can see the wonders of this military camp, can't help but nod again and again: "Wonderful!" This battalion is very good for soldiers! ”

Seeing that Hunting was happy, Cao Cao even secretly deduced in his heart, if he led his troops to attack this military camp, ......,

Fire attack? …… Cannot! Those trenches can not only stop the enemy's attack, but also effectively prevent the spread of flames, which plays a good role as a separation belt.

Deprived of water? …… It can't be done! The corner of the camp is at the water's edge, so it is very easy to get water, and looking at the dense vegetation on the hillside, there must be a mountain spring.

Sneak attack? …… Can't get it at all! Those high lookouts were set up too cleverly, and ......, Cao Cao looked at the dark places around, with the intuition of a soldier, he felt it just now, on the way to the imperial garden, there were rangers secretly moving around him, and it must be a reconnaissance ranger sent from this military camp, and the vigilance was too high.

"Difficult! Difficult! Difficult! …… It is difficult to break through this battalion with five times the strength, and if you want to annihilate it all, you must have more than ten times the number of troops! And it will pay an extremely heavy price to succeed", after some careful deduction in his mind, Cao Cao made such a judgment.

"The person who commands the army and sets up camp is really a general's talent!"

……………………………………………………

The horse moved forward, and when Cao Cao's mount was still a hundred steps away from the camp, a chirping sound with the sound of breaking the sky suddenly shot on the open space in front of the horse, and the front hooves of the horse were raised high, and there was a neighing!

"Stop coming, the barracks are heavy, don't trespass!" The two night soldiers standing on the lookout noticed the situation, first sounded a warning shot, and then once again wound up their arrows, and if the intruder did not listen to the dissuasion and crossed the cordon, they would not hesitate to shoot with arrows!

"Whoever trespasses into the barracks, die! Those who let outsiders into the camp at will be guilty of the same crime! "This is one of the military rules set by their commander Xiao Yi!

"I am the deceased of your family's Xiao Commander, please pass it on to the two of you, and say that Cao Mengde is coming!" Cao Cao did not dare to be careless in the face of Ming Di's warning, and from the firm tone of the soldiers on the lookout, he could deduce that if he took another step, he would be shot out of the hole immediately.

"Please exit a hundred steps away, wait!" The sentry on the lookout did not let his guard down in the slightest, the cluster of arrows was still firmly on the string, and the other soldier did not step off the lookout, but raised two torches, and the jumping flames swiped in the black night, and with this series of movements, a clear message was quickly conveyed in this way.

Flag language, one of Xiao Yat's inventions in the barracks!

In the big tent, Xiao Yi sat on the main seat in full uniform, without saying a word, just sat quietly, as if waiting for something, the cold iron armor on his body emitted a faint cold light under the light of the fire, and the blood wave slashing sword was held in his hand, and the back of the hand holding the sword was tense, looking ready to draw the sword out of the sheath at any time, not only him, including Da Niu, Ma Liu, Zhang Zhuan, Yang and ......, all the generals in the Xuanjia Army stood on both sides in full armor.

Since returning from entering the palace and facing the saint, Xiao Yi has issued an order for combat readiness, all the soldiers have returned, closed the camp gate, and no one is allowed to go out easily, and sent a large number of reconnaissance rangers around, and all the soldiers must be on full alert during the day, even when they rest at night, they must also sleep with their clothes closed, and put their weapons in a place where they can reach out.

For Xiao Yi's order, the whole army, including Da Niu and Ma Liu, who were closest to him, were very puzzled, and in peacetime, it was in the Gyeonggi region, so why should they be so vigilant, but they were incomprehensible, and the military order was still carried out to the letter.

The perennial relationship made them believe that Xiao Yat must have his reason for doing this!

'Believe in Xiao Lang, get eternal life! This is already the consensus of the whole army of Xuanjia Iron Cavalry!

Sure enough, when a herald ran in and reported, "There is an old man from the commander who has come to visit late at night! Xiao Yi, who had been closing his eyes and meditating, suddenly opened his eyes, and the eyes that seemed to be devouring everything like a black hole now became sharper, looked in the direction of Luoyang City, smiled slightly, and said to himself: "Is it finally started!" ……”
