Chapter 43 The White Horse (4)
Unlike Wang Mi, who came from a noble family, although Cao Yi was his fellow townsman in Donglai, Qingzhou, he was a local tyrant who had been alienated from the imperial court for generations and even confronted the court... Read the latest and most complete novel
The Qingxu area is far away from the capital and the mountains and seas. It has been a place where destiny hides for the court since ancient times. At the end of the Han Dynasty, the yellow scarlet bees rose here, which made the local officials extremely frightened. They all said that "the evil enemy is a group of evil spirits, and they are not afraid of death. The father and brother are annihilated, and their children are in large numbers. They are still in trouble." After the Yellow Turban Rebellion, many local tyrants took advantage of the situation and blocked the troops from the times. Even Emperor Wu of Cao Wei, who unified the north, could not disperse it, and could only appoint many powerful leaders as local officials. "
The two states of Qingxu were seized and attached to the sea to submit them." This powerful force had been suppressed by the Wei and Jin dynasties. Although he had tried his best to resist, he finally gradually declined. However, his familiarity with military affairs and his unruly character had already penetrated into the bones of Qingxu Qianghao and could no longer be eliminated. After Wang Mi raised his army, Qingxu Qianghao made a big splash in ten months. First, it was because the court was incompetent in governance and the people lived a difficult life; second, it was because they were similar to Wang Mi, and they were all people who were happy and happy.
Cao Li himself is the best among the children of Qing Xu Qianghao. He had been involved in the thieves and thieves with Haidai since childhood, and was familiar with many methods such as fighting, plundering, ambushing and hiding. Wang Mi has claimed to have made every decision since the rebellion, and most of them rely on Cao Li's strategy. Shi Le told Wang Mi to place this general who was like a planner on a white horse far away from the battlefield in the Central Plains. Although it was caused by selfishness, he really believed that Cao Li's wisdom and courage were enough to stop the Youji Jin army from the north bank of the Yellow River and strive to ensure that the key passes were not lost.
This time, Cao Yi had made full preparations immediately since he had predicted that Captain Mu was a spy in the court and wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to support the defeated troops on the North Bank:
The white horse tower is small and strong. You only need to defend with hundreds of people to resist ten times of the enemy. This is regardless. The river beach is rising in summer, the river water is fast, the rocks on the beach are hidden under the water, and boats are hard to cross. Hundreds of crossbowmen ambushed behind a hill overlooking the river beach. Once something happens, arrows will be fired at the same time, which is enough to shoot the Jin army that is bumpy in the wind and waves into hedgehogs. If a brave man rushed across the river beach, Cao Yi arranged hundreds of iron cavalry to hide in the distance. At that time, he would be like a destruction. In addition, the personal soldiers who came with the generals to explore were all bowed and swords in their hands, ready to kill them at any time.
In this way, even if the Jin people had great plans, they would inevitably be hit by the head-on. And the ones they used to seize the city must be the elite ones from a hundred. If they cut them all on the beach of the river, they would make the later generations even more frightened.
The problem is... Cao Yi never expected that as a spy from the Jin army, Mu Xiaowei traveled to Hebei and brought back Zhao Lu, the general under Shile and one of the eighteen cavalry!
Shi Le gathered hundreds of thousands of troops over the past few months, traversing the Central Plains, and was invincible. Now he is moving westward to confront Luoyang, which shocked the government and the people. In terms of his great reputation, it is far more than all the rebels and thieves since the founding of the Jin Dynasty. The leader is like this, and his generals have established great names. Although Cao Li looked very disdainful of Shi Le and his subordinates, when he saw Zhao Lu, who was fighting alone in Hebei, he was still shocked and couldn't help but take a step back.
When he retreated, the hundreds of people who were originally following Cao Yi, who were posing for a threat, were immediately dissatisfied and put down their raised swords, guns, swords and halberds.
The atmosphere eased a little, and the Captain Ma quickly stepped forward to ask Zhao Lu for concern. Zhao Lu was not kind to him, so he let go of Captain Mu and went up the river bank. The Captain Ma did not think it was offensive. He followed Zhao Lu jogging in the knee-deep river water and was very attentive. Obviously he knew very well that once Zhao Lu returned to Shi Le's command, he would definitely be highly valued with his achievements in the Hebei crusade.
Cao Yi glanced at Ma Xiaowei with contempt, and secretly despised him. As expected, the Hebei bandits were completely unconventional. Just as they turned around and left, they suddenly felt a little palpitations. He suddenly thought: Since he could come up with a plan to disguise as the Hebei bandits defeated the soldiers, it proved that the Jin army might not be without wise men. And the defenses of the Jin people on the north bank were just like their close defenses at the various ferries on the south bank of the Great River. How could they easily allow a big fish like Zhao Lu to escape? Among them...the inside story is quite difficult to understand?
Cao Yi stood up suddenly and shouted: "Stop!"
Zhao Lu and his group were maintaining a vigilant attitude, stepping forward with one foot high and one foot low. The few who were at the beginning had already stepped on the ground, and the mud and water on their bodies were flowing down. Hearing Cao Yi shouted, Zhao Lu stopped and rolled his eyes: "What, General Cao has any advice?"
Cao Yi was speechless for a moment, and Zhao Lu sneered: "We don't plan to stay in Baimajin for a long time. We just want to use some food to rest for one day and leave tomorrow... Why? Could it be that General Cao has any inconvenience?"
"General Zhao is General Shi's strong general. No matter how embarrassed we are, there is no inconvenience to be able to afford a full meal and hot soup." Cao Yi said with a serious expression: "But, Cao had already understood that Mu was a spy from the court and intended to bring people to the city, so he sent troops to take the troops to stand up. Please forgive me for being stupid. I really don't know how brave General Zhao is when the Jin army on the other side is taking action, so General Zhao can break through the Jin people's troops and come to the south bank safely?"
"Anran comes to the south bank? Do you think Anran? Anran?" Zhao Lu laughed at the sky and said slowly after a while: "Since the boss crossed the river and went south, I led my brothers to run around and fight ten times the enemy. There are only three or five hundred people who can lurk to Liyangjin alive. Just as I was about to cross the river at night, I bumped into a team of Jin people's troops in the shape of a defeated army, which showed that they were intending to cross the river and pretend to be a city. We were afraid that the white horse would be in trouble, so we rushed out from the Jin people and dispersed them. The situation was still smooth
Unexpectedly, this man with the surname Mu..." Zhao Lu turned his mind and pointed to the Chief Mu who was being held by his subordinates, and said loudly: "We are fighting in full swing. This man with the surname Mu came across the river and claimed to be Wang Mi's subordinates. He killed many brothers while we were unprepared. As a result, the person who was able to rob the boats and cross the river was less than 100% of the three or five hundred people, and only the dozens of men in front of you, General Cao! Fortunately, we captured the man with the surname Mu, and skin him tonight to comfort the brothers who died on the battlefield!"
Zhao Lu became more and more angry as she said that, staring at Cao Yi with great force and strides, and splashing on the river beach with both feet: "This is what you call safe arrival on the south bank!"
When Zhao Lu talked about this, Cao Yi and Xu Miao and others looked at each other, and they didn't care about the investigation for a while, but they felt a little guilty. It was not because they were afraid of Zhao Lu. The problem was that they had indeed heard the sound of fighting on the North Bank before. At that time, Zhao Lu could have killed the Jin army and successfully crossed the river, but was cheated by the Jin army spies deliberately released by Wang Mi's troops on the south bank. This was really unreasonable.
Xu Miao and Cao Yi have been colleagues for many years and are very good at distinguishing their appearance. They hurriedly stopped Zhao Lu and said with a smile: "General Zhao, don't be angry, we are all ministers of the Han Dynasty, and we must be together..."
Halfway through the cliché of smoothing out the field, Zhao Lu suddenly drew his sword and blood splattered.
