Chapter 790: Entering Xuzhou (2)
Following.
A sentry rode in front of Zhao Feng and bowed his hand to Zhao Feng: "Lord Qiqi!" ”
"Because of the topography in front, the army cannot pass by the Shu River."
"You can only pass through the Zhengrong Valley east of the Shu River!"
Zhao Feng pondered for a moment and looked at Cui Yan, Tai Shici and others: "What do you think?" ”
Cui Yan saw that no one spoke, so he took the lead in speaking: "Yesterday, the sentry cavalry returned. ”
"Speaking of Cao Cao's sentry horseman, he has already gotten news from us."
"But until now, I haven't gotten any information about Cao Cao's army."
"If Cao Cao wants to make a move against our army, the Zhengrong Valley ahead is undoubtedly a good place to ambush."
Because of the distance and the speed of the news transmission, although yesterday the sentry cavalry reported that Zhao Yun had sent out a message.
But it obviously took several days for the text to be transmitted from Jizhou to Xuzhou.
And now, Cao Cao naturally didn't get the text sent by Zhao Feng.
Therefore, Cao Cao is likely to send someone to ambush Zhao Feng in order to delay Zhao Feng's advance.
Maybe he can defeat Zhao Feng's army in one fell swoop.
Zhao Feng nodded: "Then how should we march?" ”
Cui Yan waved at Zhao Feng: "You should send a sentry to investigate the specific situation." ”
"Then divide the troops and slowly march through the Zhengrong Valley."
"In this way, even if the sentinel does not find any trace of Cao Jun."
"When we are ambushed, we can also reflect it, so that the loss will not be too big!"
Tai Shi Ci bowed his hand to Zhao Feng: "It's better to let Ci lead the headquarters and go to investigate the situation in Zhengrong Valley!" ”
Zhao Feng nodded: "The plan to scare the snake!" ”
"Accurate!"
Tai Shici bowed his hand to Zhao Feng: "Huh! ”
After saying that, he turned the horse's head and walked in the direction of his own part.
Tai Shici's subordinates are the two captains of the King of Qinghe and the King of Hejian.
As for the plan to scare the snake, it is just Zhao Feng's statement, and it has not yet been listed.
With Zhao Feng's identity, he couldn't see the military book that was listed as a book, so naturally it was not officially written yet.
As for when it will be officially listed, Zhao Feng is not clear.
The gist is that the enemy force is not deep, and it cannot be lightly advanced, and it should be explored all over the front.
Bing Shuyun: 'Those who have dangers, wells, reeds, mountains and forests, and puffs next to the army will be reclaimed, and this ambush is hidden. ’
Wait for Tai Shi Ci to leave.
Zhao Feng looked at Xiong Da: "Disperse all the sentinel riders, and all of them will go to Zhengrong Valley to inquire about the news." ”
Xiong Dayi arched his hand: "Wow! ”
After saying that, he rode his horse and ran to the sentry camp.
Not long after, Tai Shici led his headquarters and ran from the right side of the army to the direction of Zhengrong Valley.
After that, all the sentinel battalions were dispatched.
Half an hour later.
Zhao Feng led the army and arrived at the mouth of the Zhengrong Valley.
After only looking at the valley mouth, Zhao Feng sighed with emotion: "It seems that this magnificent valley should be very long!" ”
Cui Yan stared at Taniguchi and looked at it for a while: "Preliminary judgment from the topography." ”
"In the Zhengrong Valley, it may not be as narrow and long as we think."
Zhao Feng nodded and looked at Xiong Da: "Pass the order, the army will start to repair!" ”
Xiong Dayi arched his hand: "Wow! ”
Then he said to the herald behind him: "The army has begun to repair!" ”
Time passes slowly.
After noon, the repaired army had lunch.
None of the sentinels sent out returned.
Tai Shi Ci did not send any news back.
Zhao Feng's brows furrowed deeply.
Because this shows that the length of the Zhengrong Valley has exceeded Zhao Feng's expectations.
In this way, it is not easy for Cao Jun to really arrange ambushes here.
Another hour passed.
A sentry cavalry ran back, and one of the sentry cavalry captains ran in front of Zhao Feng and bowed his hand to Zhao Feng: "Enlighten the lord!" ”
Then he described the information of Zhengrong Valley in detail.
The main reason for this sentry to investigate is that the road conditions are impassable.
So they need to run out of the valley first, make sure that there are no problems with the roads in the whole valley, and then come back to report.
The captain of the sentry cavalry finished his report.
Cui Yan pondered for a moment: "According to the news I found." ”
"If we set off now, we won't be able to get out of the valley before dark."
"And from other details, there seems to be no sign of Cao Jun's ambush."
"But if we wait until tomorrow, it's hard to say."
Zhao Feng thought about it carefully and felt that what Cui Yan said was also possible.
After all, it was yesterday that Cao Cao's sentry rode and found the trace.
This kind of direct attack on other people's armies must be approved by Cao Cao.
Others simply don't dare to assert themselves.
And from Ju County to Donghai County, although it is not far, it also takes time.
Especially if you need to play a round trip.
In other words, even if the sentinel conveyed Cao Cao's order to the army on the side of Langya.
It also takes time for the army to move.
The question now is whether there is still Cao Cao's army near Juxian.
If there is, this part of the army has time to ambush Zhao Feng.
If not, they will need to bring troops from other places.
Those temporarily mobilized armies, in a short period of time, naturally could not rush here.
But tomorrow, it's hard to say.
Because Cao Jun is in a hurry, he may choose to rush overnight.
Zhao Feng pondered for a long time: "According to my usual stable character. ”
"I'm more inclined to enter the valley tomorrow."
"But according to our previous judgment, there won't be too many defenders here in Juxian."
"So, maybe Brother Ji Jue's judgment is right."
"There is no ambush of Cao's army here for the time being."
"And tomorrow, everything will be uncertain."
Then he looked at Xiong Da: "Pass the order down, let the grain team and the baggage team go into the valley first!" ”
Xiong Dayi arched his hand: "Wow! ”
Then he rode his horse to the tail of the army.
Zhao Feng's decision, although there is a little risk, as long as you are strictly vigilant at night, the risk is not too great.
But wait until tomorrow, and there will be more unknowns.
Relatively speaking, the risk of waiting until tomorrow to cross the trough may be greater.
Compare the lesser of two evils.
Therefore, Zhao Feng decided to enter the Zhengrong Valley today.
Big deal, march overnight!
After the grain and baggage teams began to enter the grain.
Zhao Feng looked at Guan Hai: "Guan Hai, you lead the troops to escort behind the grain team!" ”
Guan Hai arched his hand: "Huh! ”
Then he rode his horse in the direction of his own tribe.
Wait for Guan Hai to leave.
Cui Yan asked, "When does Zhao Zhoumu plan to lead his troops into the valley?" ”
Zhao Feng pondered for a moment: "Brother Ji Jue, when should I enter the valley better?" ”
Cui Yan said with a smile: "Naturally, it is behind Guan Hai Buqu, and it is safer to enter the valley!" ”
"Because according to Yan's prediction, the ambush of the Cao army has not yet come."
"Then, naturally, the sooner you get out of the valley, the safer it is!"
Zhao Feng nodded: "It's okay." ”
Then he looked at Xiong Da: "Pass the order." ”
"We'll go into the valley later!"
