Chapter 41 White Horse (2)

"What's wrong?" Cao Yi took a step forward, held the female wall with his hand and looked out. Through the heavy mist, he saw dust flying on the other side, as if countless people were fighting and fighting in it, and many flags were rolling around and horses were galloping back and forth. He listened with his ears. In addition to the sound of the water, there were indeed the sound of weapons handover and strikes and roars and killings.

"Who is fighting? Could it be that the Youzhou Army and the Jizhou Army are in conflict?" someone asked in surprise.

A few snickers suddenly came from the building, but no one was too lazy to answer this stupid question.

Although the Central Plains were in war and most of the trips were cut off, there were still some traveling trips on the key passes connecting the north and south of the Great River. According to the information found out from the travel, Lu Daoming, the Pingbei General of Youzhou, and Li Yun, the general of the Jizhou Army, were colleagues for many years. When they were in Bingzhou, they fought with the Huns together and had a deep friendship. In the past few days, they heard rumors that Li Yun gathered 30,000 troops in Guangzong, and originally planned to be on par with Lu Daoming. However, when the Youzhou Army headed south, the army was very handsome, which immediately made Li Yun fall in love with him, so he was willing to be deputy second-in-command on the spot. The two of them worked together and faced a great enemy like the Huns and Han Kingdom together. How could there be internal strife? It would be natural to take the Youji army as the Jin army with many internal conflicts before.

But if it weren't for internal strife, where would the army and horses be involved in the fight?

Cao Yi turned around and went downstairs and said in a deep voice: "Let's go to Baima Mountain, which is more north and you can see clearly."

The group hurriedly followed Cao Yi to go out and headed straight to Baima Mountain, about two miles northwest of Yinglei. Baima Mountain was not very high and the mountain was not steep, but it was flat and had a very wide view. This mountain was close to Dazhi Mountain on the north bank of the Dahe River, and the floating hills were just around, and it just accommodated the river rushing through. It was recorded in Yu Gong that when Dayu controlled the flood, he "passed east by Luosi, and as for Dahe", it was here.

Everyone came up the mountain, and even if they didn't go up to the viewing tower, they felt that their vision was much clearer. A side general stared at the other side for a while and suddenly said, "One side is the imperial army, the other side... look at the flag, are afraid they are Zhao Lu's subordinates?" After looking at it, his face changed slightly: "Those men are very good at fighting, not ordinary scattered soldiers and brave men, I'm afraid Zhao Lu himself is there!"

"What?" Xu Miao was surprised: "Is it because he intended to cross Henan and escape, but was blocked by the Jin army? General Cao, let's wait... what should we do?"

"What's the hurry..." Cao Yi naturally knew what Xu Miao meant. Zhao Lu was one of the "Eighteen Cavalry" who Shi Le started his career. When Shi Le led his army south, he volunteered to take the responsibility of cutting off the rear, so he was trapped in Hebei for several months and was unable to escape. If such a person could escape and return to Shi Le's command, he would definitely be highly valued. Therefore, Xu Miao wanted to ask if there was any way to take Zhao Lu's troops. But Cao Li, as Wang Mi's left and right hands, never took Shi Le's group of herders seriously. Even if he saw Zhao Lu on the verge of despair at this time, he had no idea of ​​helping him.

He waved his hand and said, "Personnel Mu, you are Shi Le's subordinate. Look, is there Zhao Lu among the people on the other side?"

Captain Mu responded and widened his eyes and carefully identified it. It took a long time to say, "It's true to look at the flag... but it's too far away and I can't see clearly..."

"Then there is nothing to do." Cao Yi sighed: "Since we can't confirm whether it is really General Zhao, we cannot act rashly. Cough cough, even if General Zhao Lu is there, he can deal with the imperial army and horses in Hebei for half a year, and he must have a talent... Let's wait for them to kill the imperial army and cross the river smoothly!"

Another deputy general, Gao Liang, was born in Wang Mi's personal guard, with great skills and the best of the three armies. His great-grandfather was the Wang family tribe. He once followed Wang Qi, the prefect of Xuantu, Wang Qi, to conquer Goguryeo, and was particularly trusted by Wang Mi. Although he was young, he had commanded thousands of troops. Cao Yi looked down on rebels like Zhao Lu, who were born into a herd slave, but Gao Liang did not take Cao Li very much. Hearing Cao Li's refusal, he immediately sneered: "What, General Cao is afraid of the Jin army and dare not fight against it?"

What do children know? Cao Yi complained indignantly in his heart, and when many subordinates showed a look of affection for Gao Liang, he became even more unhappy. These generals and schoolmen rose up from Qingzhou and fought in Yan and Henan provinces and counties, and were invincible everywhere they went. Therefore, they were all above the top and looked at the imperial soldiers and horses as light as goose feathers. In addition, many people received official positions granted by the Huns and Han states, and really regarded themselves as colleagues of Shilenajienu.

These people never thought that the Youzhou army was a powerful army that the Great Jin relied on to suppress the Xianbei. They had already traversed the Central Plains earlier and were invincible. If they rashly left the camp and crossed the river to meet Zhao Lu's troops, if they fell into the plan of the Jin people, it would be a big deal. Instead, it would be better to defend the camp and the Jin people would not find any gaps to cross the river... As for Zhao Lu's life under the siege of the Jin people, what a bullshit thing!

Thinking of this, Cao Yi turned cold and ignored the sorghum. The generals and schoolmen suddenly felt a little stiff and did not dare to speak.

At this moment, he heard Captain Mu whisper: "The White Horse is the key to the Yellow River, and it is also the gateway of Yanzhou. General Cao's troops can not only block the road to the Youzhou army's southward journey, but also stop the relationship between Sima Yue and the Luoyang court. Therefore, the importance of this place is really hard to describe, and the army must not move lightly." He knelt down to the ground with a thunderous voice, "But... the villain really can't sit and watch the brothers in the robe being slaughtered by the Jin army. If the general trusts the villain, the villain is willing to lead dozens of his subordinates to cross the river to meet him on a raft. The general takes strict precautions in the camp. Whether this move is successful or not, it will be the general and the Baimain. "

Cao Yi's eyes were like lightning, and he glanced at Captain Mu up and down, and after a long time, he slowly said: "This can be a try. However, no matter how many people you can get back, you must do so, after removing your armor and leaving the army, and return to the camp empty-handed!"

"Yes! Yes! Thank you for your kindness, General!" Captain Mu didn't care about Cao Yi's obvious intention to be wary of his guard and rushed down Baima Mountain excitedly.

The Jin army and Shile Wang Mi's troops confronted each other for a long time, and the boats along the river had been detained in one place and were strictly guarded. The Captain Mu could only use more than a dozen rafts. He was so brave that he took some of his subordinates to take a raft and left. Cao Li and others looked at Baima Mountain, watching the rafts floating in the vast river water, gradually hiding in the increasingly dense water mist.

Xu Miao was a little afraid of the wind, so he found a valley to sit down first. At this time, he suddenly said firmly: "This surname is too brave and acts too aggressive... Hehe, Lao Cao, I dare to bet on five top-quality brocades with you. This guy must have a problem. He is probably a spy!"

"Don't be anxious! Don't be anxious!" Cao Yi patted the sword on his waist: "The Jin army thought we were fools, so we took the tricks. We pretended not to know that we could do things."
