Offering Cao Cao the strategy of first capturing Hebei, and then going north to Liaodong, and then breaking Wuhuan, Guo Jia and Xun You left Cao Cao's camp together.

The weather was still very cold, and the cold wind was passing back and forth in the barracks, blowing Guo Jia and Xun You subconsciously shrunk their necks.

The two of them walked out of Cao Cao's tent and walked side by side in the barracks, but they didn't know that at this time, only a few miles away from them, Deng Zhan and the dragoon guards were thinking about how to take their lives.

"Gongda, Ming Gong's mood is not high recently, if it goes on like this for a long time, it will not be a good thing!" Walking side by side with Xun You, Guo Jia said to him: "You and I should think of a way to solve Cao Gongfang!" ”

"Xu Du was captured by the Qin army, if Cao Gong can still deal with it open-mindedly, then he is a saint!" Shaking his head, Xun You said to Guo Jia: "Fortunately, Duke Cao's family is not in Xudu City, otherwise, with Duke Cao's temperament, I am afraid that he would have already ordered a strong attack on Xudu!" ”

His eyes narrowed slightly, and Guo Jiaduo Xun Yu said: "There are tens of thousands of Qin troops stationed in this city, and it is difficult for our army to break through. If the enemy against Cao Gong was someone else, he would definitely build a Yì Cao Gong to attack Luoyang instead. It's a pity that the King of Qin has a lot of garrisons in Luoyang City, and Luoyang City is thick and deep, even if there are not many soldiers and horses defending the city, it is difficult to break through......"

"Cao Gong should take the north side of the river first as the right way!" Turning his head to look at Guo Jia, Xun You said to him: "Hebei has a large population, once entrenched, the number of our army should be several times larger, and then the decisive battle with the Qin army, it will be difficult to determine who will kill the deer!" ”

"Today coincides with the temporary suspension of the war, why don't you and I go to the tent to drink two glasses and talk about the general trend of the world?" Chao Xun You smiled slightly, and Guo Jia mentioned inviting him to drink in the tent.

There has never been too much estrangement between him and Guo Jia, and since the last victory of the Cao army, the Qin army has shrunk back to Xudu on all fronts, and it is impossible to have another war in a short time. ”

With Xun You looking at each other and smiling, Guo Jia walked side by side with him to meet the camp tent.

Guo Jia and Xun You drank in the tent without mentioning it, only saying that Deng Zhan ordered twelve dragoon guards, wrapped thick linen cloth on the horses' hooves, and galloped all the way towards the Cao army camp.

The hooves of the war horse are wrapped with thick linen cloth, which reduces the sound of the horse's hooves, but when galloping, it is easy to slip under the hooves of the war horse.

led the twelve selected dragoons, and galloped all the way, Deng Zhan and the others were also cautious, for fear that the horses would slip under the hooves and fall their own homes.

After Deng Zhan led the twelve dragoons to set off first, Huang Sheng also led the remaining dragoons out of the woods.

Compared with Deng Zhan and the others, the dragoon guards led by Huang Sheng marched much slower.

They undertook the task of responding, and the best time to respond was to arrive after Deng Zhan and others completed the task, so as to avoid prematurely arousing Cao Jun's vigilance.

Leading the twelve dragoon guards, until there was still about a mile away from Cao's army camp, Deng Zhan raised his arm and stopped the dragoon guards behind him.

At the same time as Deng Zhan raised his arm, the twelve dragoon guards behind him reined in their horses.

One of the dragoons may have reined in too hard, and the horse slipped and nearly fell.

"Take the sackcloth from the horse's hooves!" Turning his head to look at the twelve dragoons behind him, Deng Zhan whispered an order, turned over and jumped off the horse.

Deng Zhan turned over and dismounted, and the twelve dragoon guards immediately dismounted like one person.

After dismounting, they untied the sackcloth tied to the horse's hooves, so that they could escape here in order to play a mission, so that they could find the war horse and evacuate faster.

Untying the sackcloth on the horse's hooves with his own hands, Deng Zhan turned his head to look at the dragoon guards who had finished loosening the horse's hooves, beckoned to them, and without saying a word, he ran in the direction where the Cao army's military camp was located.

A total of thirteen black shadows, under the cover of night, were like thirteen ghosts, quickly rushing towards the Cao army stationed in the wilderness.

Running all the way, when he reached a place only two or three hundred steps away from Cao Jun's military camp, Deng Zhan squatted down and raised his right arm high.

The twelve dragoon guards who followed him saw him raise his right arm, and they all squatted down, and their eyes all looked at the Cao army camp where the firelight could already be seen.

"Cao Cao's staff tents are very scattered!" Turning his head to look at the twelve dragoon guards squatting behind him, Deng Zhan lowered his voice and said to them: "Tonight, it is Guo Jia and Xun You who we are going to kill, and the rest will wait until the future!" Later, I entered the Cao Jun barracks, and you must not be separated, do you know? ”

"Yes!" After Deng Zhan finished speaking, the twelve dragoon guards answered one after another, and they all quietly waited for him to give the order to enter the Cao army's military camp.

Seeing that they all understood the key to carrying out the task, Deng Zhan didn't say more, bent his waist, and quickly jumped towards the Cao Jun barracks.

In the Cao Jun barracks, the tents were arranged according to the formation, and they didn't feel any different from the outside, but Deng Zhan knew that once they entered the barracks, they were like they had entered a labyrinth.

If you want to successfully kill Guo Jia and the others, it is difficult to quickly find the right direction by relying only on pure lurking.

Leading the dragoon guards to a place that was only more than twenty steps away from Cao Jun's barracks, Deng Zhan stopped again.

This time, however, he did not speak to the Dragoon guards behind him.

It was so close to Cao Jun's military camp that he could even hear the sound of Cao Jun, who was on duty at night, talking to each other.

In Cao Jun's barracks, a brazier was lit every dozen steps.

The flames jumping in the brazier could only illuminate a small area near it, but countless braziers were connected, and Cao Jun's barracks were illuminated.

Except for the light of the fire, none of the nearby tents shone brightly.

Deng Zhan would not rely on this to determine that Cao Jun in the barracks was asleep.

When the army goes out, although the soldiers have tents, their tents are not equipped with candles like those of the generals and staff.

As long as they got into the tent, the only choice for the soldiers was to lie down on the bed cover and sleep, at most a few mouths could not be idle, lie on the bed before going to bed, and talk to the people on the same side.

Staring at the Cao Jun barracks, Deng Zhan's eyes wandered back and forth in the barracks.

There is a fixed sentry every thirty or fifty paces nearby, and in addition, there are also one or two patrolling groups of Cao soldiers patrolling along the road left in the camp from time to time.

Such a tight defense made Deng Zhan feel a little difficult to do.

To kill Guo Jia and others, the most important thing is to find a way to enter Cao Jun's military camp.

Forcibly breaking through was not very difficult for him and the twelve dragoon guards behind him, and it was not difficult to touch one or two sentry posts of Cao Jun.

However, once the Cao army guard post is missing, it will definitely attract the attention of the patrol officers, and even if they do not show any horses' feet, Cao Jun will judge that someone has entered the barracks based on the fact that the guard post has been touched.

Deng Zhan had to find the best entry point to ensure that their entry into the barracks would not be discovered by the Cao army, while keeping the Cao army's guards intact.

His eyes wandered over the edge of Cao Jun's barracks, and Deng Zhan never found a gap for them to sneak into, and his brows gradually twisted.

Just when Deng Zhan was at a loss, a dragoon guard behind him raised his hand and pointed ahead, lowered his voice and said, "General, look! ”

Following the direction of the Dragoon Guard's finger, Deng Zhan looked to the other side of Cao Jun's barracks.

What appeared in his sight was a group of more than a dozen cavalry, leaving the barracks and rushing into the vast night.

Seeing the cavalry rushing into the night, Deng Zhan frowned slightly, and after just a little thought, he figured out what the cavalry was going to do.

Cao's army was stationed near Xudu, which had already been broken by the Qin army.

Since the Cao army had gained a great advantage in the battle with the Qin army earlier, the Qin army must have placed many sentinels in the wilderness everywhere.

The reason why the cavalry left the barracks at night was to explore everywhere, and if they met a lone scout of the Qin army, they would take it with them to exterminate them.

Seeing the cavalry go away, Deng Zhan beckoned to the dragoon guards behind him, bent his waist, and took the lead in touching the barracks where Cao Jun had left just now.

Where there are cavalry departures, Cao's army will definitely be more heavily guarded, but Deng Zhan, who has studied special operations with Liu Wei for a long time, knows that places that often seem to be heavily guarded on the surface are often the easiest to find a breakthrough.

With twelve dragoon guards, Deng Zhan and the others lurked to the place where the cavalry had left just now, and watched Cao Jun's military camp from a distance.

Sure enough, as he expected, Cao Jun in this area paid much more attention to the surrounding environment than the place where they were dormant just now.

At the entrance of the barracks, four or five Cao Jun faced the hiding place of Deng Zhan and the others, staring at the open space where thirteen killing gods were dormant without blinking.

Behind the four Cao soldiers, there were more than a dozen Cao soldiers, each occupying a position, and their line of sight almost encompassed any angle in the nearby area.

Compared with Cao Jun, Deng Zhan and others occupy an advantage.

They hibernated in the dark, but the brazier burning in the Cao army's barracks invisibly provided them with the best lighting conditions, so that they could clearly distinguish the direction where Cao Jun was standing.

And the soldiers of the Cao Army on duty, standing in the firelight, looking at a dark wilderness, their sight distance was much shorter than that of Deng Zhan and the others.

It was precisely because of this that Deng Zhan and the others could see them clearly, but it was difficult for them to find these thirteen figures lurking nearby.

After observing Cao Jun at the entrance of the barracks for a while, Deng Zhan made a gesture to the twelve dragoons behind him to pull the rope with both hands and tie the knot.
