Thank you for a monthly ticket voted by the Grape Lychee Wine Girl!

The Kushan Army camp on the north shore.

"I can't imagine that the Wei army is really just like what General Zhenxi said!" The eldest prince Yueduo, who was standing on the left, said with some emotion.

Just before that, he thought that Wei Jun was really just like Habul said, his heart was full of longing for great victory and triumph, but now he felt that victory was so far away from him.

Yue Kefeng, who was sitting in the handsome position, said indifferently: "I was still vulnerable to the Wei army before I fought with the Wei army!" Your Highness may not know that the army that clashed with our army today is not the elite who broke through the Stone-Cutting Department that day, and the combat effectiveness of the two is very different! ”

Yueduo and the Eastern Army generals brought by Yueduo couldn't help but be taken aback: "What!?" Could it be that the people who are fighting against me today are not the elite of the Wei army? ”

Yue Kefeng nodded: "According to the scout's report, the Wei army that has been attacking since daytime today is the army of the Seventh Army of the Wei Army, and the Sixth, Seventh, and Eighth Army Corps of the Wei Army are all behind, and the combat strength is still some distance from the previous legions of the Wei Army!" I don't say this to show off to the Han people, but to let His Highness and the generals of the Eastern Army understand the strength of our opponents, and we must not suffer unnecessary losses because of carelessness against the enemy! In addition, please pay attention to the generals, there is an elite army in the Wei army with heavy armor and a long knife of more than two meters, and the combat power is almost incomparable to me, and thousands of them can kill tens of thousands of us! ”

"What army?" Yueduo asked in surprise.

"Mo Dao Army! This is what the Han people call them! ”

Cao Cao inspected the army, and the soldiers of each battalion gathered around the fire and talked enthusiastically while eating dinner, when he saw Cao Cao coming over. He hurriedly got up and saluted, looking at Cao Cao's eyes full of reverence. Whenever this happens, Cao Cao will always stop and have a good time with the soldiers.

Cao Cao returned to the big tent. smiled and smiled at the deputy commander of the Seventh Legion: "I originally thought that the Seventh Legion could not be compared to the main force in any aspect, but when I saw it today, you are at least not inferior to the other main forces in terms of morale!" ”

It can be heard that Cao Cao was very satisfied with the performance of the Seventh Legion.

The deputy commander couldn't help but be a little excited, and clenched his fists and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your praise!" ”

Cao Cao returned to the main seat and sat down, frowning slightly: "However, the performance of the Seventh Legion during the day today is still not very satisfactory to me, and I hope to see a group of bloodthirsty tigers in the next battle!" ”

The deputy commander knelt down on one knee and said, "The last general will definitely live up to His Majesty's high expectations!" ”

He looked excited, he held his breath.

Cao Cao nodded, turned his head and asked Xu Chu on the side: "Has the flying pigeon pass for Chang'an been issued?" ”

Cao Cao asked Xu Chu to pass a book to Chang'an Feige not long ago. Urge the Chang'an side to transport all kinds of military supplies to the Green Ridge Fort as soon as possible.

Xu Chu replied: "It has been out according to His Majesty's request!" ”

"Hmm."

Cao Cao glanced at the generals under his tent and said in a loud voice: "Generals, if there is nothing to do, go back to the camp to rest!" Miaocai, Meng Qi, Shoucheng, the three of you stay! ”

After the generals retreated, Cao Cao stood up and walked to the sand table in the center of the big tent, and Xiahou Yuan, Ma Chao, and Ma Teng stood on both sides of Cao Cao.

Cao Cao pointed to the current mulberry river: "Although this river is not wide, it is very deep, and there are many turbulent water and land turbulences, only the section in front of me is relatively gentle!" However, if it is not the river. It will not be possible to launch a decisive counterattack against the enemy army! ”

After a pause, he said to Ma Chao: "Meng Qi, you immediately send a scout team along the river to find a place where you can cross the river, and if you find it, report it immediately!" ”

Ma Chao hugged his fists and promised.

"What do you think about the current war?" Cao Cao asked the trio.

The three generals glanced at each other, and Ma Teng hugged his fists and said, "Your Majesty." Our army's current mission is to relieve the siege of Kangju, but according to the current situation of Kangju, they may not be able to hold out until our army breaks through the enemy forces in front of them! ”

Cao Cao frowned. He asked, "What does Shou Cheng think we should do?" ”

Ma Teng pointed to a hilly corridor in the northeast of the Rainbow Canyon and said, "The last general thinks that a group of elite horsemen should be sent from here to the Kangju royal capital day and night!" Presently. The main force of Guishan has been pinned down by our army, and half of the forces attacking Raven Mountain have been driven. We can completely drive out the enemy forces attacking the Kangju royal capital first! ”

Cao Cao leaned over and looked carefully at the sand table, his face was thoughtful, and after a while, he stood up, clapped his hands, and said categorically: "Let's just change the original plan!" Shou Cheng and Miao Cai, you two will stay here and attack the Guishan Army in the north with great fanfare, don't be stingy with the oil cans in your hands! ”

"But Your Majesty, is the current use of fire oil canisters prematurely exposing this powerful weapon of our army!" Xiahou Yuan said worriedly.

Cao Cao shook his head: "It's been several years since this thing came out, and it may not be a secret to Guishuang, and now is the critical time, I don't want to see the soldiers put aside the fire oil canister and bleed in vain!" ”

The three generals couldn't help but be a little moved, and hugged their fists together and said, "Your Majesty is wise!" ”

Cao Cao continued: "I, along with Meng Qi and Evil Lai, led 30,000 Hun cavalry and 5,000 Imperial Forest Army to attack the Kushan army near the capital of Kangju through this hilly passage! ”

The three generals were all taken aback, and Ma Teng objected: "Although the hilly passage is a shortcut to the Kangju royal capital, there are heavy soldiers scattered from Crow Mountain not long ago near here!" Your Majesty's daughter's body, if"

Cao Cao interrupted Ma Teng's words and smiled: "Shoucheng doesn't have to worry! It's a vast area, and the terrain is complex, and I'll have enough scouts before the army! ”

Seeing that the three generals still wanted to persuade again, he said with a straight face: "Okay! I have made up my mind, and the three generals don't need to say it anymore! ”

The three generals are helpless.

Before dawn the next day, Cao Cao, after some advice, led 35,000 elites together with Ma Chao and Dian Wei to quietly leave the camp on the south bank of the Mulberry River.

Thirty-five thousand elites entered the scouting range of the Kushan scouts at noon, and the army slowed down its advance and raised its vigilance.

Soon after, a group of scouts rushed back and reported: "Your Majesty, a group of Kushan patrol cavalry is coming this way!" ”

"Your Majesty, let me go and kill them!" Dian Wei asked excitedly.

Cao Cao shook his head: "It's not time to expose our whereabouts now!" ”

Then he glanced around, and saw that on the northeast side of the army, although it was not very large, but it was very dense, Cao Cao pointed to the forest and said, "Pass the order, and the army will enter the woods immediately!" Meng Qi, you lead a group of soldiers around the other side's flank, and if they find out where we are, you will immediately beat me! Remember, be sure to do it and don't escape one! ”

Ma Chao replied, turned the horse's head and went down, and then Cao Cao galloped towards the woods surrounded by all the soldiers. (To be continued.) )
