Just as Zhuge Liang expected, when Liu Bei led Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to challenge the battle outside Jiguan, they turned off the battle-free sign and no one came to fight.

In this incident, many generals of the Jingzhou Army became more aware of Liu Bei's strength and Cai Mao's cowardice.

The fighting at Jiguan and Longguan continued, and the fighting in Bingzhou also continued. Although the cavalry in Xu Chu's hands was defeated by the cavalry led by Xu Huang, the flying cavalry wanted to easily find traces of Xu Chu and others after deliberately avoiding it.

It is somewhat difficult.

The defenders in various parts of Bingzhou also became more vigilant after learning that there was such a cavalry in the territory.

Xu Chu's life in Bingzhou was very difficult. Attacking ordinary villages meant that his traces would be exposed. Just like when he first entered Bingzhou, just one robbery was enough for the Bingzhou army to get the news. If Xu Chu knew that their traces were leaked,

, just because of that robbery, I don’t know how I would feel.

What makes Xu Chu even more depressed is that even the ordinary people in Bingzhou rose up to resist when dealing with their own cavalry, which is not what an ordinary person should have. In the Central Plains, faced with the plunder of the cavalry, the people

They could only tolerate it. They understood that the more they resisted, the faster they would die. However, after arriving in Bingzhou, everything changed. It seemed abnormal for the people not to resist.

"General Xu, the army only has enough dry food for two days. If we don't go out to look for food and grass, we will probably starve." Huang Gai said with a worried tone. Of the thousand cavalry who accompanied him to the battle, only one is left.

More than five hundred men were lost, nearly half of whom were lost. These cavalry were the most elite cavalry in the Jiangdong Army. They were lost in Bingzhou. He didn't know how to explain to Sun Ce after he returned.

As a general during Sun Jian's period, Huang Gai deeply disapproved of the Jiangdong Army's move to unite the princes to attack Bingzhou. Everyone knew how powerful the Bingzhou Army was, and the Marquis of Jin Lu Bu had a lot of kindness towards the Sun family.

.

It's just that when faced with Sun Ce's decision, the generals in the army couldn't say too much.

"General Xu, the scouts have reported that there is a village not far from here. There are about two hundred people in the village. If we rob it, the army will have a source of food and grass." Gao Xiang looked excited.

said.

Xu Chu shook his head with a heavy face and said: "At this time, there is not only the flying cavalry on the battlefield, but the defenders from other places also sent cavalry to inquire about our news. It would be dangerous to leak the traces at this time.

Already."

Gao Xiang said disapprovingly: "The defenders in various places are mediocre. When we lead the cavalry, they are already discouraged, let alone fight."

"If General Gao thinks so, just lead the cavalry and leave." Xu Chu's voice was a little cold.

Gao Xiang's face turned red and he looked at Xu Chu angrily. He was also a general in the Jizhou army. Although Xu Chu was the main leader in the battle this time, in terms of military strength, the cavalry in their hands was similar, and Xu Chu's words clearly made it clear that

I didn't take him to heart.

"According to the news from the scouts, a large group of cavalry appeared fifty miles away from our army, and this cavalry is most likely the flying cavalry of the Bingzhou Army." Xu Chu said.

Gao Xiang snorted coldly: "What are you afraid of the flying cavalry of the Bingzhou Army? If the dead soldiers arrive first, why worry about not being able to kill the flying cavalry?"

Break."

"The two generals should stop fighting. Now that we are facing a powerful enemy, what we should do is how to defeat the enemy," Huang Gai said.

Xu Chu was silent for a long time and then said: "All parties have sent scouts to pay close attention to the disturbances in the surrounding thirty miles. They must not let go of any place. If the flying cavalry does not appear, it will not be too late to take action."

Gao Xiang secretly despised Xu Chu. After all, he didn't want to attack this village. He thought Xu Chu was deliberately trying to weaken his face. Although Cao Cao was the leader of the princes alliance, Gao Xiang didn't take Cao Cao too seriously.

Considering Yuan Shao's status, Cao Cao still fell a lot short.

In a forest about forty miles away from Xu Chu's hiding place, the gradually cooler weather allowed the cavalry to hide in it. The original sweltering heat was no longer there, and scouts kept bringing the latest news on the battlefield.

There was no trace of Xu Chu and others during this period, but Xu Huang did not relax for a moment. Based on the traces of the cavalry, he judged that Xu Chu was hiding nearby, and Xu Chu did not take action during this period. He was obviously afraid of the flying cavalry.

, Xu Huang was able to defeat Xu Chu and others who had more than 2,000 cavalry with three thousand flying cavalry. At this time, the enemy Xu Chu was least willing to face was probably the flying cavalry.

"General, this is a topographic map of the nearby area." A cavalryman dismounted and took out the topographic map.

Xu Huang nodded and laid out the terrain map on a relatively flat ground. After looking at it for a long time, he stopped his finger at the location of Zhaojiacun.

The only village nearby is Zhaojia Village. Zhaojia Village is relatively far away from the nearby city. It can be called a remote place in Bingzhou. However, there are many young and strong soldiers in Zhaojia Village, which has raised the reputation of the soldiers and civilians in Bingzhou.

Although Zhaojiacun is remote, it is famous far and wide.

Since they were relatively close to the Huns at the time, the people in Zhaojia Village had a tradition of practicing martial arts. The young men in the village would usually hone their strength. Although there were no bandits nearby, the Huns even obeyed Lu Bu's orders.

However, they still did not relax their vigilance, and these traditions were gradually passed down.

The young men who joined the army in Zhaojiacun were relatively popular in the army.

"Tell General Mi Fang to move quietly in the direction of Zhaojia Village and not to disturb the enemy's scouts," Xu Huang said.

After looking at Zhaojiacun for a long time, Xu Huang's expression flashed with a hint of unbearability. In order to eliminate Xu Chu and others in one fell swoop, he could only choose to let Zhaojiacun sacrifice some. He knew that doing so would be extremely harmful to Zhaojiacun.

Cruel, if this choice was not made, Bingzhou would face greater danger and suffer greater losses. It took half a month to roughly determine the location of Xu Chu and others. This cavalry was too cunning.

At this time, Bingzhou needs to be stable. Only with stability can the Bingzhou army in Huguan be able to relax and deal with the enemies outside the pass.

Zhaojiacun was peaceful, and there was no sense of urgency that a war was coming. Even when they learned that a cavalry had entered the territory of Bingzhou, Zhaojiacun did not take it to heart. Firstly, the strength of the Bingzhou army was so strong that the cavalry had been defeated. Bingzhou

The cavalry will not miss the opportunity to beat up the drowned dog. Secondly, Zhaojia Village is relatively remote, and the enemy cavalry will not target Zhaojia Village.
