"Has it been successful?" Cao Cao seemed to be talking to himself, and seemed to be asking Jia Xu.

Jia Xu thought for a moment and said in a deep thought, "There is no more accurate information at the moment, and the officials dare not make a decision!"

"How many scouts have you lost?" Cao Cao raised his eyebrows, thought of something, and asked in a deep voice.

"There are about 20 people..." Jia Xu sighed helplessly, holding his sparse goatee beard, "Zhang Fei is indeed very capable in preventing intelligence spy. The army under his command, called "Wolf Tooth Camp", was simply useless when hunting our scouts.

”

"Wolf Teeth Camp?" Cao Cao thought for a while and had some impression, "Is it one of the elite four camps formed by Zhang Fei in Runan back then?"

"That's right!" Jia Xu nodded, "During the Battle of Hanzhong the previous year, General Gao Lan had the opportunity to annihilate all the Zhang Lu army's Yang Ang troops, but it seemed that he was entangled in Langzhong Mountains by this wolf-tooth camp for 5 days, and more than 10,000 troops were unable to move at all.

Although this group is not large in number, it is very good at disguising and lurking. It can be said that it is elusive. It also makes all the assassination attacks, setting traps, mountain battles and forest battles... "

"Oh~? It seems that he has such skills, which is a bit different from the beginning..." Cao Cao said in a slight surprise, "Is there a way to deal with it?"

"It's very difficult!" Jia Xu shook his head and said, "This group is extremely cunning and rarely fights head-on with our army's troops. If the number of people is small, they will not be able to do anything to them at all.

In his opinion, it is possible to achieve success unless a trap can be set up and they are introduced into it! But judging from Zhang Fei's use of the wolf teeth camp, it is not easy to introduce them into the trap."

"Huh~~!" Cao Cao frowned and sighed, "How did Zhang Fei come up with such an annoying organization? This person is really hard to understand. I thought he was just a brave man back then.

This is probably the most confusing time Cao has seen people in his life!”

"I married my treasure from the Cao family, but I became enemies with Cao from beginning to end..." After a pause, Cao Cao didn't know what he was thinking and whispered a little angrily.

Because he is responsible for intelligence collection and analysis, Jia Xu knows more about some things than others. He naturally knows the meaning of Cao Cao's words, but he knows more about this kind of thing that he should not interrupt. When he should pretend to be stupid, he should still pretend to be stupid...

"Wenhe, do you think you can act according to the previous plan?" Putting the "Wolf Fang Camp" and other matters aside for the time being, Cao Cao returned to the main topic and said to Jia Xu with the intention of inquiry.

Due to the great importance of this battle and the lack of information, Cao Cao, who has always been decisive, couldn't help but hesitate.

"From the current situation, Xu thought he could give it a try, just be careful." Jia Xu thought for a while and said cautiously, "This time he is in Nanyang, Runan and Yingchuan counties.

Our army has gathered nearly 100,000 troops, and the daily consumption of food and grassland is quite amazing. Zhang Fei can afford it, but our army can't last long. If we can defeat Huang Zhong's journey first, we hope to repel the Jingzhou army will double.

If you retreat to the Jingzhou Army, the entire battle situation will be worry-free..."

The biggest problem facing Cao’s army is not too short of food and grass. Before leaving Xuchang, Xun Yu had already handed Cao Cao a break-up for two months!

Once the full-scale war begins, the food that can be called by the states under Cao Cao's rule can only support the army's two-month battle. (The food consumption during wartime is about three times that of ordinary times),

This means that no matter what means are used, Cao Cao must resolve the battle within two months!

This invisible pressure forced Cao Cao to take some risks!

After closing his eyes and thinking for a moment, Cao Cao nodded slightly: "Send the order..."

…………………………………………………………………………….

60 miles south of Wancheng, north of Nieyang County

After Huang Zhong commanded the army to capture Bainiuyi, he almost stopped and immediately rushed northward and marched towards Wancheng. This almost reckless move made many generals confused.

Taking advantage of the opportunity to take a temporary rest in Nirvana, Feng Xi, Xiang Chong, Wang Ping and others raised their doubts to Huang Zhong.

"General Huang. The military strength of the Cao army in Wancheng is unknown. The last time I received news from Wancheng was three days ago. I don't know if Cao Cao has increased his troops in the past few days, and whether our army is a bit risky to advance so quickly.

"The thief-paced captain Xiang Chong was close to Huang Zhong and asked cautiously, "And we have not contacted the general's army for several days. Will something happen?"

"Haha..." Huang Zhong smiled, as if he had known Xiang Chong and others would have such a question, but he did not rush to answer. Instead, he found a cleaner stone and sat down, took off the iron helmet on his head, and placed it aside gently.

Xiang Chong, Feng Xi and others looked at each other, not knowing what Huang Zhong was selling for, but they did not dare to make rash at will. After all, Huang Zhong's position and prestige in the army were not comparable to those of them.

Huang Zhong's time for joining the army may be more than Xiang Chong's age.

Due to the fortune, Huang Zhong's military career in the previous few decades was not very brilliant. He was just a mere commander in the sixth year of Jian'an. But from that year, Huang Zhong rose like a comet.

In just seven years, he made countless contributions in a series of wars against Sun Quan, Ma Chao and Cao Cao, and his position was promoted from the commander to the post-general. It can be said that at the sunset of his life, Huang Zhong finally shone with his dazzling light.

All of this is familiar to the younger generals such as Xiang Chong, and is more sincerely born from respect.

"Wendu, Shuhuai, Zijun... all found a place to sit down!" Huang Zhong stroked the long white beard under his chin and greeted with a smile.

After Feng Xi, Xiang Chong and others were slightly stunned, they all sat down on their own, and then turned their confused eyes to the white-haired veteran.

"From yesterday to now, you guys have probably been wanting to ask about this..." Huang Zhong was not angry about Xiang Chong and others' questions, but instead looked at these juniors with a complimentary look. "The reason why I rushed to attack Wancheng was not a self-dedication, but was acting on the order of the general..."

Under the surprised eyes of the generals, Huang Zhong took out a silk book from the ribbon on his waist and handed it to Feng Xi: "The general expected that Cao Cao might have seen through our army's strategic deception strategy, and used the strategy to set up a trap to plot against our army.

The most likely target Cao Cao chose was that we would wait for the side divisions along the way. General and Military Commander Pang estimated that Cao Cao would set up an ambush on the way from Shunyang to Wancheng, and based on this, he also made a plan.

And we are just bait to lure Cao's army into the land."

"Get a plan?"

"Bait?"

Xiang Chong and others were shocked and spoke out.

"Can we lead Cao's army to ambush the troops and then let other troops raid?" Wang Ping, a bit arrogant and generous, showed a meticulous mind that was not very consistent with his appearance.

Wang Ping was from Dangqu, Brazil. During the Battle of Hanzhong in the 11th year of Jian'an, he accidentally met the Langya Camp, which was fighting in Brazil. At that time, Wang Ping was mistakenly thought it was a detailed work by Cao's army and had a conflict with the Langya Camp scout.

At first, Wang Ping successfully defeated several wolf-fang soldiers, but dozens of wolf-fang soldiers who arrived later almost killed them with crossbows. Fortunately, Zhu Huan, the commander of the wolf-fang camp, arrived in time, found out the situation and let him go, and then invited him to join the army.

Wang Ping, who had been in love with Liu Beijun for a long time, naturally agreed without hesitation.

With his outstanding military command and contributions to fighting bravely, Wang Ping had already accumulated achievements and promoted himself to the lieutenant in less than a year and a half.

"Zijun said it well, but the general's plan is not only that..." Huang Zhong nodded with praise, "Because this plan is a bit risky, in order to prevent too many people who know it from being leaked, and the scout of Cao's army noticed the abnormality, I hid it a little!"

"So, are there other soldiers and horses following us?" Xiang Chong said in surprise.

"Yeah!" Huang Zhong looked back and looked southward, and said with a smile.

Huang Zhong waved his hand to signal the personal soldiers to bring the map and spread it on the ground. Then he pointed to the route between Shunyang and Wancheng and said: "From Shunyang, all the way to Bainiuyi, Nieyang, the terrain is relatively flat and not easy to set up an ambush, and there is no danger.

Therefore, even if you don’t tell you the truth, there will be no serious consequences.

But continuing to go north from Niryang, the terrain is fluctuating, and it is easy to hide troops and horses, and the danger increases greatly. Moreover, it is only 60 miles away from Wancheng. If Cao Cao really had an ambush, he would definitely have made arrangements.

This time, I have no scruples, so even if you are pregnant with you, I will tell you!"

After reading the contents of the silk book, Xiang Chong and others started to whisper.

A moment later, Wang Ping was about to ask Huang Zhong for some details, but suddenly saw the scout army Sima Huang Di (book friend His Majesty the Emperor 0110 guest appearance) coming quickly.

After bowing to Huang Zhong, Xiang Chong and others, Huang Di reported urgently: "Report to General Huang, the scout found a small Cao army baggage team 5 miles away from our vanguard. The number was about a thousand people, and there were also hundreds of large vehicles, and they were retreating to the north!"

After closing his eyes and thinking for a while, Huang Zhong opened his shiny tiger eyes and laughed.

"General Huang, is it a bait?" Xiang Chong looked at Huang Zhong and asked with a little confusion.

"But according to the previous news, before our army arrived, Nieyang did escape from a Cao army and brought a lot of vehicles!" Feng Xiwei said, "It may be that group of people!"

"Continue to order the scouts to follow and inquire. You can make some noise and see how the Cao army's baggage team reacts..." Huang Zhong curled his smile and explained to Huang Di.

"Wendu, Shuhuai, Zijun... Let's take a look together..." Huang Zhong signaled Feng Xi and others to surround him.

.

Half an hour later, a white dove soared into the sky, flapping its wings and flew towards the south.
