Unlike Wang Mi, who was born in a family, although Cao Wei is his fellow townsman in Donglai, Qingzhou, he is the son of a local tyrant who has been estranged and even confronted by the imperial court for generations.

The Qingxu area is far away from Kisuke, surrounded by mountains and seas, and has been a hiding place for outlaws that were not tolerated by the imperial court since ancient times. At the end of the Han Dynasty, the yellow turban swarm rose here, which made the magistrates extremely frightened, and they all called "the demons and the gangsters, the cruel are not afraid of death, the father and brother are annihilated, the children are in groups, and the soldiers are still troubled." After the Yellow Turban Rebellion, many local tyrants took advantage of the time to move and block the troops, and even Emperor Cao Wei Wu, who unified the north, could not disperse them, and could only appoint many powerful leaders as magistrates, "cutting the two states of Qing and Xu attached to the sea to be commissioned". This powerful force has been suppressed by the Wei and Jin dynasties, and although it has tried its best to resist, it has finally gradually declined. But the character of being familiar with military affairs and being unruly has long penetrated into the bones of many young Xu Qianghao, and can no longer be consumed. After Wang Mi raised the army, Xu Qianghao came to vote in a big way, firstly, because the court had no way to govern and the people lived a difficult life; Second, because they are similar to Wang Mi, they are all chaotic people.

And Cao Wei himself is the best among the children of Qingxu Qianghao. He has been in contact with Haidai since he was a child, and he is familiar with many methods such as fighting, looting, ambushing, and hiding. Since Wang Mi raised the army, he claimed to have had no last resort, and most of them relied on Cao Wei's strategy. Shi Le said that Wang Mi placed this general who seemed to be the mastermind on a white horse far away from the battlefield in the Central Plains, although it was selfish, but he did believe that with Cao Wei's wisdom and bravery, it was enough to stop the Youji Jin army on the north bank of the Yellow River and strive to ensure that the pass was not lost.

This time, since Cao Wei expected that Captain Namu was a spy of the imperial court, and he wanted to take the opportunity of receiving the rout on the north bank to earn the white horse base, he immediately made full preparations:

The white horse base is small but strong, and it only takes a few hundred men and horses to defend it, and it can withstand ten times the enemy, and that doesn't matter. The river beach is high in summer, the big river is rapid, the beachhead is hidden under the water, and it is difficult for boats to cross; Hundreds of crossbowmen lay in ambush behind a mound overlooking the river, and if something happens, they will shoot the Jin army into hedgehogs. In case a brave man rushed across the river beach, Cao Wei arranged for hundreds of iron horsemen to hide in the distance. In addition, the soldiers who came to visit with the generals all had bows and knives in their hands, ready to slash and kill at any time.

This time, even if the Jin people have great plans, they will inevitably be hit head-on. And the ones they use to seize the city must be the elite of one in a hundred, and if they are all cut down at the head of the big river, it can make the latecomers even more frightened.

The question is...... Cao Wei didn't expect that Captain Mu, who was a spy of the Jin army, crossed Hebei and brought back Zhao Lu, a real general under Shile and one of the eighteen horsemen!

Shi Le has gathered hundreds of thousands of troops in the past few months, crisscrossing the Central Plains, invincible, and now he is advancing westward to threaten Luoyang, which has shocked the government and the opposition. In terms of prestige, it is far more than all the anti-thieves and giants since the founding of the Great Jin Dynasty. The leaders are like this, and the generals under their command have also established a great name. Although Cao Wei was very disdainful of Shi Le and his subordinates in front of and behind him, when he really saw Zhao Lu who was fighting the Jin army alone in Hebei, he was still taken aback and couldn't help but take a step back.

As soon as he retreated, the hundreds of people who had been following Cao Wei in a majestic posture suddenly became angry and depressed, and they put down their raised swords, guns, swords, and halberds.

The atmosphere eased slightly, and Captain Ma hurriedly stepped forward to inquire about Zhao Lu, who was not kind to him, raised his foot and let go of Captain Mu, and went to the riverbank. Captain Nama didn't think it was angry, and as Zhao Lu trotted in the knee-deep river, he was very attentive. Obviously, he also knew very well that once Zhao Lu returned to Shi Le's command, he would inevitably be greatly used by virtue of his exploits in Hebei.

Cao Wei glanced at Captain Ma with disdain, secretly disdainful in his heart, sure enough, the Hebei thieves had no discipline at all. Just as he was about to turn around and leave, he suddenly had some heart palpitations for some reason. He suddenly thought: Since he can come up with a plan to disguise himself as a Hebei thief, it proves that there may not be no resourceful people in the Jin army. And the Jin people's fortification on the north bank is also like their own close defense at the various ferries on the south bank of the river. How could they easily allow such a big fish as Zhao Lu to escape? Among them...... What's going on here?

Cao Wei stood on his heels violently and shouted: "Stop!" ”

Zhao Lu and his entourage were maintaining a vigilant posture, stepping on the water with one foot high and one foot low. The first few had already stepped on the ground, and the muddy water on their bodies was gurgling down. Hearing Cao Wei's loud shout, Zhao Lu stopped and rolled his eyes: "What, what advice does General Cao have?" ”

Cao Wei was speechless for a while, and Zhao Lu sneered: "I don't plan to stay in Baimajin for a long time, I just want to have some food, rest for a day, and leave tomorrow...... What's the inconvenience of General Fei Cao? ”

"General Zhao is General Shi's general, no matter how embarrassed we are, we can still afford a full meal and hot soup, and there is no inconvenience." Cao Wei said with a solemn face: "It's just that Cao Mou has already understood that this Mu Mou is a spy of the imperial court, intending to lead people to earn the city, so he dispatched troops to wait for him." Please forgive me for being stupid, I really don't know what kind of courage did you rely on, General Zhao, to break through the Jin army and come to the south bank safely? ”

"Safely on the South Shore? Enron, you say? Enron? Zhao Lu looked up to the sky and laughed, and only said slowly after a while: "Since the big boss crossed the river to the south, I have taken my brothers to run around and fought against ten times the enemy. Among the three or five thousand people, only three or five hundred people can lurk in Liyangjin alive. was about to cross the river at night, but bumped into a group of Jin troops pretending to be in the shape of a rout, apparently intending to cross the river and deceive the city. We were afraid that the white horse would lose, so we killed from behind the Jin people and scattered it. Originally, the situation was going well, but unexpectedly, this ...... surnamed Mu" Zhao Lu's words changed, he stretched out his hand and pointed to Captain Mu, who was being carried by his subordinates, and said in a loud voice: "We are fighting in the middle of the battle, this surnamed Mu crossed the river, claiming to be Wang Mi's subordinates, and killed many brothers while we were unprepared. As a result, in the end, less than one percent of the three or five hundred people were able to rob boats and cross the river, and only a few dozen men in front of you, General Cao, remained! Fortunately, we captured this man surnamed Mu, and tonight we will cramp and skin him to comfort the brothers who died on the battlefield! ”

The more Zhao Lu spoke, the more angry he became, and he glared fiercely at Cao Wei striding closer, and his feet splashed on the river beach: "This is what you call coming to the south bank safely!" ”

When Zhao Lu said this, Cao Wei and Xu Miao and the others glanced at each other, and they couldn't care about the investigation for a while, but they all felt a little empty-hearted. It's not because they're afraid of Zhao Lu, the problem is that they did hear the sound of fighting on the north bank before, at that time Zhao Lu could have killed the Jin army and crossed the river smoothly, but he was pitted by the Jin army spies deliberately indulged by Wang Mi's department on the south bank, which is really a bit unreasonable.

Xu Miao and Cao Wei have been colleagues for many years, and they are very good at distinguishing appearances, so they hurriedly stopped in front of Zhao Lu and said with a smile: "General Zhao, don't be angry, we are all courtiers of the Han Kingdom, and we must be ...... together."

Halfway through the round, Zhao Lu suddenly drew his knife, and blood splattered.

This blow was too violent, and the long knife fell like thunder, slashing Xu Miao from his left shoulder to his right ribs, almost splitting in half!
