Chapter 529: The Ambition of the Military Advisor Zheng Sleeve
However, the more time passed, the more clear Cao Hu'er became that hope became more and more remote. The escape of Li Youwen, the princess of Zhaoyang, and a good material who was praised by Zheng Junshi also escaped, which brought a lot of blows to Cao Hu'er, who has always been very conceited.
Duan Changshi's escape has not had a big impact, but Li Youwen's escape is the reason why Cao Hu'er's heart is the most shocked. originally thought that he had been ordered by Zhao Linfu to quietly transfer a thousand elite dead soldiers to kill Li Youwen, but it was just a matter of pinching the snail with three fingers, and it was nine out of ten.
But who would have thought that stinky girl was so brave, at the moment of the ambush, not only did not panic at all, but found the weakness of the encirclement in the shortest possible time and rushed out.
In the next few days, he pursued with all his might, but in exchange for the remnants of Li Youwen's own soldiers, he went to the follow-up to die, so as to block the speed of his pursuit. Although their resistance seemed so weak and powerless in front of hundreds of elite dead soldiers, they still managed to delay the pursuit again and again, allowing Li Youwen to escape to the vicinity of Chen Village.
Originally, Cao Hu'er thought that Xu Shou's subordinates should be able to rob Li Youwen, but unexpectedly, there was more Duan Shaojun's strange variable. And in the end, tonight, he blocked himself on the bank of the Yuma River.
Now that the people are already sleepy and the horses are lacking, and if the pursuit continues, it is very likely that the war horses will be overtired and a large number of them will die. This is the reason why Cao Hu'er decided not to cross the river for the time being, because in such a late night, even if you cross the river, it is difficult for you to find the trace of the other party's escape, it is better to rest and rest.
"Xu Shou, you fucking hypocrite, even doing such a thing as ambushing and killing the royal family has shrunk back to it, now it's good, the person has escaped, if that woman has the opportunity to return to Zuo Yu Linwei, or return to Jingshi, what awaits us will only be the fate of the Jiu clan...... Cao Hu'er muttered quietly.

At this time, no matter how much resentment he has in his heart, he can't show it, these dead soldiers, even if they are not afraid of death, they also have family members, relatives and friends.
"General, general? The military advisor has arrived, are you going to meet him? Just when Cao Hu'er was gloomy and worried, a dead man came next to him and whispered.
Cao Hu'er, who was thinking hard, couldn't help but be overjoyed, and slowly spit out a mouthful of turbid breath in his chest. "Let's go, lead the way, Ben Shuai just has something to talk to the military advisor."
"Presumably, the generals failed to catch up with Princess Zhaoyang, right?" The military advisor Zheng Sleeve turned over and dismounted, and after saluting Cao Hu'er, who came forward with a friendly face, he squinted his eyes and looked at the other side of the riverbank, which was completely wrapped in darkness.
"Lao Cao knows that you can expect it, alas, it's really damn bad luck, my Lao Cao can be regarded as a hurry to hurry up today, but after all, it's still a step too late. Now I have a headache What to do, it just so happens that you have arrived, Lao Cao really wants to hear your opinion. After Cao Hu'er respectfully returned the salute of Zheng Junshi, she looked at this person with an expectant look on her face since she took refuge in herself three years ago.
has been by his side conscientiously and conscientiously make suggestions, making his strength more and more inflated Zheng Sleeve. Although in the past, Cao Huer was also a good general, but it was just good.
After all, Cao Huer is a little smart, but what he is better at is still the set of military generals, in terms of strategy and calculation, how can he be the opponent of a cultural person.
And Zheng Sleeve, a strategist like an ancient columnist, can always let Cao Hu'er solve one problem and puzzle after another. not only made his power stronger and stronger, but also recruited a group of talented people with their own strengths for Cao Hu'er to serve him.
In just a few years, while Cao Hu'er's strength grew, his ambition was also teased by Zheng Sleeve like a hot oil pot, as if it could burn out at any time.
"Since they can't catch up, then there is no need to chase, since they have already crossed the Yinma River, even if we have crossed the Yinma River with great effort, I am afraid that they will not know where to flee to, and this kind of pursuit has no practical meaning." Zheng Junshi, who couldn't hide his tiredness, walked slowly to the bank of the Yinma River, looked at the turbulent Yinma River by the bonfire on the bank, shook his head helplessly, smiled and whispered to Cao Hu'er.
"But the question is, military advisor, aren't you worried about Li Youwen getting away?" Cao Hu'er took off the helmet on his head, stretched out his little finger and scratched his faintly bald head, and asked the military advisor Zheng Sleeve with some confusion.
The military advisor Zheng Sleeve raised his eyebrows and said disapprovingly. "After crossing the Yinma River, less than two hundred miles to the north, there is the winter place where the Qihu tribe gathers, do you think, with the temper of that princess Zhaoyang, can she tolerate falling into the hands of the Qihu people, and being humiliated by slaves and servants?"
These words made Cao Hu'er's already high heart fall back to the same place directly, yes, that woman's temper is known to the world. If it sounds good, it is called a strong temperament, and if it is not good, it is the master of twisting.
Even if the Son of Heaven was in front of her, the woman lost her temper and ignored it, so the Son of Heaven was also very helpless and had a headache. But there is no way to take this favorite granddaughter, it is precisely for this reason that they are already in their early twenties and have not yet married.
"This woman, hehe...... That's it, since she wants to find Qihu's stubble, then it's up to her, it's a pity that Duan Shaojun, but then again, will that talent, because Zhao Xiang wants to kill him, in desperation, he voted for that Qihu? Cao Hu'er touched his yellowed beard, and his green eyes looked like a cunning and cruel lone wolf in the dark night.
"It's hard to say." Military advisor Zheng Sleeve frowned slightly. After thinking about it secretly, he cleared his throat and said slowly. "This person is a literati after all, if there are discerning people among the Qihu people, then his talent will inevitably become a threat to the Tang Dynasty."
"Become a threat to Datang?" Cao Hu'er laughed, stood with his knife in his hand, and pointed to the south. "Since it can become the scourge of Datang, then it couldn't be better, Lao Cao, I'm still worried that Qihu's pressure on Datang is too small, and it's better to make the whole Datang mess up."
"The general is cautious, even if he has this heart, he can't declare it, the matter of having ears on the wall, I don't know the ...... since ancient times" Zheng Sleeve's eyes fell on Cao Hu'er, and his tone couldn't help but have some more exhortation.
#####
"Okay, okay, Lao Cao, I'll listen to your commander, right? But then again, now, my old Cao has mastered the soldiers and horses of the three towns of Hetao, with tens of thousands of armor, all of whom are the unrivaled elite of Saibei. It's a pity, ah, timing, when is the time for my old Cao......" Cao Hu'er looked south, his eyes full of greed and possession, like a thug who was examining a safe full of banknotes.
"Don't worry, general, the timing won't be too long, it will appear." The corners of Zheng Sleeve's mouth were lightly raised, and his face was unfathomable. Zheng Sleeve's eyes looking at the south were full of bitter hatred and resentment.
What about the Son of Heaven, no matter how strong the Tang Dynasty is, today's Datang is as old as the Son of Heaven today, only one person needs to gently push it, and if you say not necessarily, it will collapse.
He didn't say it, but Cao Hu'er didn't bother to ask, he didn't want to think about this kind of brain-wrenching thing, because since there were already professionals to think about it, he didn't need to work for this god by himself.
Xu Shou sat in his military tent, and outside, his own soldiers were vigilantly watching the movements around him. Wang Youlang, who came to report the news, hung his head low, with a depressed face.
Xu Shoutie listened with a blushing face, took a deep breath, and waved his hand impatiently, signaling this guy to get out of here. "Tell Chen Jing, if Cao Hu'er doesn't chase, he will chase by himself, in a word, you have to see people in life, and you have to see corpses in death, if he doesn't come back with that woman's head, then, you will take his head back for someone. Do you understand?! ”
"No! The last general will definitely bring the general's words! Wang Youlang hurriedly bowed down to show compliance, and then crawled out with a rolling belt.
