Chapter 41: The White Horse (2)

"What's wrong?" Cao Wei took a step forward, holding the female wall and looking out, through the heavy mist, only to see the dust on the opposite bank, as if there were countless people fighting and fighting back and forth, and there were many flags rolling and horses galloping back and forth. Listening closely, in addition to the sound of roaring water, there was also the sound of blade handover and the sound of roaring and killing.

"Who's fighting? Could it be that there is infighting between the Youzhou Army and the Jizhou Army? Someone asked.

A few snickerers rang out from the watchtower, but no one bothered to answer the stupid question.

Although the Central Plains fell into war and most of the routes were cut off, there were still some travelers in Baimajin, the key pass connecting the north and south of the river. According to the information found from the mouth of the traveler, Lu Daoming, the general of Pingbei in Youzhou, and Li Yunnai, the general of the Jizhou Army, have been colleagues for many years, and the two fought together against the Xiongnu when they merged with the state, and they have a deep friendship with each other. In the past few days, I have heard rumors that Li Yun gathered 30,000 troops in Guangzong, and he was going to be on an equal footing with Lu Daoming. These two people are coordinated with each other, and they are facing a great enemy like the Xiongnu and Han Kingdoms together, how can there be internal strife? It is inevitable to take the Youji army as the Jin army that was full of internal contradictions before.

But if it wasn't for infighting, where would the military horses be involved in the fight?

Cao Wei turned around and went downstairs, and said in a deep voice: "Let's go to the White Horse Mountain, where the location is northerly, and we can see clearly." ”

The group hurriedly followed Cao Wei to urge the horse to go out and went straight to the White Horse Mountain, which was two miles northwest of the camp. The White Horse Mountain is not very high, and the mountain is not too steep, but it is surrounded by a flat river, and the view is extremely wide. This mountain is sandwiched between the two sides of the river and the big mountain and the floating hill mountain, which just accommodates the big river rushing through. It is recorded in Yu Gong that when Yu controlled the water, he had "passed Luo Wei in the east, as for Da Ling", which refers to here.

Everyone came up the mountain, and even if they didn't go up to the watchtower, they felt that their vision was much clearer. A partial general stared at the other side for a long time, and suddenly said: "One side is the imperial court's military horses, and the other side is ...... Looking at the banner, I'm afraid it's Zhao Lu's subordinates? After looking at it again, his face changed slightly: "Those men are very combative, they are not ordinary stragglers, I'm afraid Zhao Lu himself is there!" ”

"What?" Xu Miao was taken aback: "Could it be that he tried to cross the Henan River and escaped, but was blocked by the Jin army?" General Cao, I'll wait...... How about I? ”

"What's the hurry......" Cao Wei naturally knew what Xu Miao meant. That Zhao Lu is one of the "Eighteen Cavalry" of Shi Le's cronies, who volunteered to take on the responsibility of breaking off when Shi Le led the army south, so he was trapped in Hebei for several months and could not get out. If such a character can get out and return to Shi Le's command, he will definitely be greatly used, so Xu Miao wants to ask if there is any way to deal with Zhao Lu's department. But Cao Wei, who was Wang Mi's right and left hand, had never taken the group of shepherd slaves under Shi Le's eyes in his eyes, even if he saw Zhao Lu in a desperate situation at this time, he had no idea of helping.

He waved his hand and signaled: "Captain Mu, you were originally Shi Le's subordinate, look at it, among those people on the other side, is there really Zhao Lu?" ”

Captain Mu stepped forward in response, his eyes widened and he carefully distinguished, and it took a long time for Ai Ai to say, "Look at the flag, it is indeed ...... However, it's too far away to see ......."

"Then it can't be helped." Cao Wei sighed: "Since we can't be sure whether it is really General Zhao, we can't act rashly." Ahem, even if General Zhao Lu is really there, he can maneuver with the imperial court army and horses in Hebei for half a year, and he must have a long talent...... Let's wait for them to kill and disperse the soldiers and horses of the imperial court and cross the river along the way! ”

Another lieutenant general, Gao Liang, was born in Wang Mi's personal guard, and his skills were superb, and he bravely won the three armies. His great-ancestor was a member of the Wang family, who had conquered Goguryeo with Wang Mi's ancestor Xuansu Taishou Wangqi, so he was particularly trusted by Wang Mi, and although he was young, he had already commanded thousands of people. Cao Wei looked down on traitors like Zhao Lu who were born as herdsmen, but Sorghum didn't take Cao Wei very seriously. Hearing Cao Wei's words of evasion, he suddenly sneered: "Why, is General Cao afraid of the Jin army and doesn't dare to fight with it?" ”

What do children know! Cao Wei complained indignantly in his heart, and saw that many of his subordinates showed that they were related to Sorghum, so he was even more unhappy. These generals started their troops from Qingzhou and moved to fight in Yan, Henan and other prefectures and counties, and they were invincible everywhere they went, so they were all above the top, and they looked at the imperial court soldiers and horses like goose feathers and seemed to float lightly. At the same time, many people got the official positions granted by the Xiongnu and Han States, and really regarded themselves as colleagues of Shilena Slave.

These people never thought that the Youzhou army was a strong soldier that the Great Jin relied on to suppress Xianbei, and it had also crisscrossed the Central Plains earlier and was invincible. If you leave the camp rashly and cross the river to meet Zhao Lu's department, it will be a bad thing if you fall into the Jin people's scheme. On the contrary, it is better to hold the camp steadily, and the Jin people can't find a gap to cross the river...... As for Zhao Lu's life under the siege of the Jin people, what kind of bullshit is that!

Thinking like this, Cao Wei had a cold face and ignored the sorghum. The generals and colonels suddenly felt that the atmosphere was a little stiff, and they didn't dare to speak.

At this time, I heard Captain Namu whisper: "Baima is the key point of the Yellow River, and it is the gateway to Yanzhou. General Cao's troops were stationed here, which could not only block the road for the Youzhou army to go south, but also curb the connection between Sima Yue and the Luoyang court. Therefore, the importance of this place is really indescribable, and the army must not be moved lightly. He fell to his knees with a thud and said in a trembling voice, "It's just...... The villain really couldn't sit back and watch the robe brothers being slaughtered by the Jin army. If the general can trust the villain, the villain is willing to lead dozens of his subordinates to cross the river on a raft to respond. The general took strict precautions in the barracks, and no matter whether this move succeeded or failed, Yu General and Yu Baima were not damaged at all. ”

Cao Wei's eyes were like electricity, he glanced up and down at Captain Namu, and said slowly after a long time: "This can be a try." However, no matter how many people you can pick up, you will have to return to the camp empty-handed after disarming and demobilizing as before! ”

"Yes! Be! Thank you, General, for your grace! Captain Mu didn't care about Cao Wei's obvious vigilance, and rushed down the White Horse Mountain in a hurry.

The Jin army and the Shile Wang Misuo had been facing each other across the river for a long time, and the boats and boats along the river had long been detained in one place and strictly guarded. Captain Namu could only use more than a dozen rafts. He was so bold that he took some of his subordinates on a raft and left. Cao Wei and the others looked at the White Horse Mountain, watching the rafts sink and float in the mighty river, gradually disappearing in the thicker and thicker mist.

Xu Miao was a little afraid of the wind, so he first found a mountain col to sit down, and at this time suddenly said categorically: "This surnamed Mu is too bold and too aggressive...... Hehe, Lao Cao, I dare to bet with you five high-grade brocades, there must be something wrong with this guy, nine times out of ten he is a spy! ”

"Don't worry! Don't worry! Cao Wei patted the head knife on his waist: "When the Jin army is a fool, we will do it." And pretend not to know, so that it is easy to do things. ”
