Cao Wei's subordinates were poor and helpless ordinary people half a year ago, but after the perverse actions of the court officials for a long time forced them to a dead end, those rebellions, fights, slaughters, plunders, and adultery have exhausted the human part of their bodies, transforming them into cunning and fierce thieves. Hearing that Cao Wei and Xu Miao, the two generals, both pointed out that Captain Namu was a spy of the imperial court, everyone's eyes were shining, and they all showed bloodthirsty and vicious expressions. The days of living in a small camp on the bank of the river were too monotonous for these thieves, who were happy to use the blood of the Jin army to decorate their ordinary lives, and of course, they could also enrich their personal wealth with the captures of the battle.

The soldiers are like this, but Sorghum, who is a general, is very angry: "This kid surnamed Mu is a spy? Then he should have been killed a long time ago, why did he stay until now! ”

There was no one in Sorghum Suri's eyes, and Cao Wei and Xu Miao were not on good terms with him. Xu Miao snorted coldly: "It's easy to kill this kid, and then what?" ”

"What? And then what? Sorghum was stunned.

Xu Miao shook his head and asked Cao Wei: "Old Cao, when did you find out?" ”

"Since the imperial army is preparing to cross the river in many ways, how can there not be a single spy among the remnants of the Hebei group of thieves who have come to vote these days? Cao has been paying close attention to these people for a long time. When he crossed the river and came to surrender, he was covered in blood, as if he had been battered and wounded after many hard battles, but after I placed them outside the camp to rest, he was in good spirits and acted as usual, and when I went to inspect the camp, he showed himself very well. Hehe, if he had been injured before, he would have recovered too quickly; If he was unharmed, what would he pretend? If I can't even recognize such a flaw, I have really been an enemy of the court for many years. ”

Cao Wei paused, and then said: "Just like that, it can't be asserted that this person is a spy. I urgently summoned General Wang's subordinates, who were also from Hebei group thieves, to recognize the ...... Nama Lieutenant was originally a subordinate of Wang Yang in the Eighteen Cavalry, and he had a certain status. It is said that Shile did not have enough troops when he was in Hebei, and if these two people belonged to the same lineage as Shile, they should have at least heard of each other's names. ”

Although Wang Mi is weaker than Shile, after all, he is a first-class giant in the Central Plains, and there are several subordinates from Hebei who have taken refuge. Cao Wei recruited such people to consult, which was the most appropriate.

"The result?" Sorghum is a non-growing, and then hurriedly asked.

"The surnamed Mu said that he had heard of the reputation of Captain Ma, but had never seen it; And Captain Ma ......" Cao Wei pointed to a thin servant behind him, and smiled: "But I never knew that there was such a person among Zhao Lu's subordinates." ”

Sorghum slapped his palms: "This is very clear, this surnamed Mu is really fraudulent!" ”

"Since the surname Mu is a spy of the imperial court, he is in a hurry to pick up the people from the other side, so there must be a problem." Xu Miao sighed while bowing his head: "Lao Cao is really shrewd, he can't hide anything from you." Alas, if you are still with the general, why ......"

Cao Wei's face sank, and he coughed heavily: "The general was just blinded by that beard for a while." ”

The one they called the general was Wang Mi, the leader of the thieves in Qingzhou and known as the "Flying Leopard". Wang Mi was born in a high family, extraordinary talent since childhood, erudite secretaries, and heroic, when he was a teenager ranger Kyoto, the hermit Dong Zhongdao said that he "jackal leopard vision, good chaos, if the world harasses, do not be a scholar." Sure enough, in the last years of Emperor Hui, the kings attacked each other, so that the world was disturbed and the people were miserable. Wang Mi took advantage of the situation and supported tens of thousands of people in Qingxu and Xuzhou, and for a time he could be called the leader of the Central Plains anti-Jin and powerful people. Because he met Liu Yuan when he was in Luoyang, he was named the general of Zhendong by the Xiongnu Han State, the governor of Qingxu Erzhou, the governor of Yuanhai Zhujun, and the Duke of Donglai, and his power shook the Central Plains.

However, ever since the Hebei thief Shile intervened in the Central Plains, the situation faced by Wang Mi and his subordinates had completely changed. After this person went south, he immediately helped Wang Mi get rid of the unfavorable situation of being suppressed by the army of the king of the East China Sea, and at the same time, he also controlled the unruly Central Plains bandits in the palm of his hand. As former cronies such as Cao Wei, Xu Miao, and Gao Liang were transferred away from Wang Mi's side one after another, the gap between the power of Shi Le and Wang Mi became wider and wider.

Wang Mi, who had a rigid personality, was satisfied with Shi Le's respectful expression to him, and could not be wary of Shi Le's small actions. But Cao Wei and Xu Miao had already seen it clearly, so they were very jealous of Na Shile, and they even admonished Wang Mi several times in person, but unfortunately Wang Mi did not listen.

In the eyes of these two experienced soldiers, Shi Le's threat to Wang Mi's Qingxu Haojie was actually much more terrifying than the Jin people on the north bank of the Great River. After all, the Great Jin Dynasty has rotted to the roots, like a dilapidated building that leaks on all sides and is crumbling, and it will collapse with a bang with only one last kick. In such a building, even if you smash the pot and sell the iron to raise a strong army, what is the use? The general trend of the world cannot be reversed by a few brave generals.

But Shi Le is different, compared to Wang Mi, this person is brave and good at fighting, and he is too good at winning people's hearts, and his tactics of showing leniency on the outside and being cruel and murderous on the inside are far more than him. He took advantage of the prestige of the Xiongnu and Han Kingdoms to quietly send dissidents to death on various battlefields, and at the same time recruited the Central Plains bandits who were interested in attaching themselves. If everything is as expected, then when Shi Le led his troops and the soldiers and horses of the Xiongnu and Han headquarters to join the city of Luoyang, the Central Plains Qunhao had already bowed down and was managed by him into an iron plate. By that time...... Hey...... At that time, I really don't know what will be sacred after the Great Jin.

Thinking of this, Cao Wei involuntarily clenched the handle of the knife on his waist: Fortunately, the loyal subordinates of the general are especially there, and the Qingxu Qiangkou have been idle for a long time by Shi Le, so their strength is still there. This time against the imperial court's soldiers and horses is an excellent opportunity, their own back to the fortified city, sitting on the natural danger, no matter what, invincible; It was just to use this court spy who did not know whether to live or die to bring about a victory, thus forcing Shile to return the real power of the war on the northern front to the general, and from then on he would not be held hostage!

"That thief led his cronies to attack the city to expand his strength, but he put us here, obviously hoping that we would use our strength against the Youji Jin army. However, since the Youji Jin army is coming, the defense line along the river that we are guarding has become the center of the war in the Central Plains again, this Mu Mou came at the right time, I can use this to give the Jin army a heavy blow, and let Shi Le know the ability of our Qingxu Haojie! As he spoke, Cao Wei lowered his voice slightly, and beckoned the uncomfortable sorghum to come closer: "Looking at the every move of this surnamed Mu, I can guess a few points of the Jin army's plan, it's nothing more than pretending to be a Hebei bandit to earn me Baimajin." I'm going to count it, so ......."

Cao Wei, as the de facto No. 2 person in Wang Mi's army, was deeply planned, and once he gave an order, including sorghum, no one dared to slack off.

After a while, several horsemen rushed back to the camp to give orders, and then the whole camp was full of chickens and dogs, and the shouts of the officers and the noise of the non-commissioned officers were mixed up. It turned out that Cao Wei's subordinates had little discipline, and after months of idle maintenance on the banks of this great river, they became even more lazy, and as a result, they were suddenly driven to build a camp a few days ago, and they were half exhausted to death; At this time, even if the officers shouted and beaten, they could not be restrained for a while.

Cao Wei was on the White Horse Mountain, and when he saw this scene in his eyes, he was suddenly half angry. He casually summoned a personal soldier and untied his waist knife to him: "Go!" Take my knife and say, who dares to procrastinate and laze again, and will not forgive! ”

A thief is a thief, and he can't get rid of loose habits, and Cao Wei has long been used to it. Therefore, he was not angry about military discipline, but he was really worried that this kind of scene would be detected by the Jin army, so he would be vigilant. Fortunately, at this time, the clouds were thick, and the sky was getting more and more gloomy, and Cao Wei couldn't see the movement on the other side clearly, and the other side must have been the same. When more than 200 elite cavalry in the camp galloped out of the white horse base in full armor and waited, and the crossbowmen were roughly in place behind the watchtowers and female walls, Cao Wei slapped his horse down the mountain and went to the river bank to meet him.

As the distance from the surging river approached, one of the best eye-catching riders suddenly pointed to the river: "General, look! ”

Cao Wei watched intently, only to see that in the undulating waves, several rough rafts full of people were rowing from the opposite bank, and one person on the lead raft was waving a flag vigorously, struggling to unfold the dirty and damp flag. Due to the turbulence of the river, the raft went down the water, coming very quickly, Cao Wei saw clearly, and there was clearly a big "Zhao" character on it.

"It's also dedicated, and even the flag is ready." Cao Wei smiled dumbly, waved his hand to the left and right: "Let's go forward to greet us, be careful not to show flaws." ”

It wasn't long before several rafts stumbled closer to the shore. The people on the raft couldn't wait to reach the shore, so they jumped off the raft and struggled to walk up in the waist-deep water. The men had dirty, messy hair and beards, and sunken cheeks; A closer look at their outfits revealed that their armor was torn and their bodies were covered with bloody bandages, some of which were loose, exposing the terrible wounds, and the blood trickled down into the murky waters.

Cao Wei led people to rush forward, and when they were about to speak, these people showed an extremely vigilant look, and immediately held swords in their hands and gathered into a defensive formation. For a while, it almost made Cao Wei think that his arrangement had been recognized.

But Cao Wei did not drink and ordered his subordinates who were ambushed in the distance to rush up and kill all of them. What he planned was a big victory, not just killing a few spies, so he ignored the danger and rode his horse to a few feet away: "I am Cao Wei, the general of the Han State Baimajin Town!" Who are you? What did you do when you crossed the river? ”

Those who put on a fighting posture looked at each other, and they did not loosen their positions because Cao Wei reported his name. After a while, a middle-aged man came out of the crowd. This man is not young, and because his cheeks are deeply sunken on both sides, he looks even more decrepit, but his eyes are still bright, and he has both a resolute spirit and a bit of cunning unique to veteran oil: "Your name is Cao Wei?" In the past few months, I have been driven around by the imperial court military horses, but I don't know when the guards of Baimajin have changed...... I heard that there is a general under the command of the Flying Leopard King called Cao Wei, could it be you? ”

Cao Wei calmed down and replied, "Exactly! ”

"Hah! Ha! The middle-aged man raised his hand to signal, and two people came out in the crowd with Captain Mu, who was tied up with flowers, and pushed him violently onto the gravel-strewn river beach. The middle-aged man raised his foot and stepped on Captain Mu's face, and suddenly hid Captain Mu's mouth and nose into the muddy water accumulated on the river beach. Captain Mu choked a few times, twisted his body violently and wanted to raise his head, but he was strengthened by the man's feet, stepping deeper, and he saw that if he struggled for a while, he would be choked to death.

"General Cao, I have been in trouble with the officials and troops in Hebei for several months, but I was killed by the spies who infiltrated your subordinates and almost lost my life, we have to calculate this account." The middle-aged man grinned.

At this time, Cao Wei didn't know that things were beyond expectations? He frowned and asked again, "Who are you?" ”

The middle-aged man glanced at Cao Wei obliquely: "Don't you know the big characters on this flag?" Lao Tzu is Zhao Lu! ”

Before the words fell, the horse captain from Hebei behind Cao Wei rolled off the saddle and dismounted, and said in a trembling voice: "Zhao is in charge!" It's great that you're safe and sound! ”
