If Yu Baosi had not reported the situation in Zengtou City in detail, Cao Cao would have easily underestimated the other party due to his nature.
But now that he knows the details, how can Cao Cao underestimate the enemy? He already knew in his heart that defeating this opponent would be more difficult than defeating several state capitals.
Therefore, after deciding on the direction to lure the enemy into battle, he led everyone to discuss it in detail for a day and made a detailed strategy.
In the next ten days, Yu Baosi's minions, the remaining soldiers of Shi'er Mountain, the masters of Shuizhai, and the companions of Yanggu County, a total of 1,670 people, all gathered in Shi'er Mountain, led by Xu Guanzhong, and worked hard every day Hard training.
Although the training was more difficult, the meat and rice every day was enough. After ten days, not to mention the fighting strength, the morale of the army was greatly boosted, and the team's coordination and understanding became even better.
On December 5, Cao Cao ordered to send out troops. Only Huang Wenbing, Jiang Jing, Pei Xuan, Hou Jian, Mu Chun, and Zhu Fu were left in Yanggu County. The rest of the brothers followed the army and were divided into ten teams and set off one after another.
In fact, he originally wanted to stay with Zheng Tianshou and Yang Lin, but they refused and had to go together.
Mu Chun watched the team drifting away with envy in his eyes. Gritting his teeth and not saying anything, he went back home to find a gun and started practicing like crazy.
Cao Cao led the first team, accompanied by Xu Guanzhong, Lu Fang, and Guo Sheng. After traveling for more than ten miles, he came to the front to report: "A group of guests, about a hundred people, is coming with many large carts."
Not long after, as expected, a group of people came towards me, led by a man, riding a horse, not tall, handsome, not inferior to beautiful women. Cao Cao was immediately happy when he saw it, and said loudly: "Yan Xiaoyi, how did you get here?" "
Unexpectedly, Xu Guanzhong also said at the same time: "Brother Yan, it's been a long time!"
After they finished speaking, they looked at each other with surprise on their faces - do you recognize him too?
That handsome man was none other than Lu Junyi, the prodigal son and confidant of Jade Qilin Lu Junyi of Daming Mansion!
Yan Qing laughed loudly, turned around and said loudly: "Master, I unexpectedly met Brother Wu."
He galloped his horse for a few steps, rolled his saddle and dismounted, clasped his fists and said, "Xiao Yi, see Brother Wu! My master came here specially to give New Year's gifts, but it was such a coincidence that we met on the same road."
Then he clasped his fists at Xu Guanzhong and said, "Brother Xu! We haven't seen each other for several years, but you are even more charming than before. How come you have sex with me, Brother Wu?"
Xu Guanzhong jumped off his horse, stepped forward, hugged Yan Qing and said with a smile: "It's my turn to ask, how do you know my brother when you hang out in Daming Mansion?"
He turned around and reported to Cao Cao: "Brother Yan, I have had a close relationship with my younger brother since childhood. I have been traveling around the world for several years, and unexpectedly we met here."
Yan Qing laughed after hearing this and said: "Sure enough, it's not that heroes don't get together! Brother Wu is the sworn brother of my master. Brother Xu, with your talents, joining Brother Wu's command is a perfect complement to each other. I also want to congratulate you for meeting the Ming Master. This earth-shattering ability can finally be put on the market."
At this time, in the caravan over there, a white unicorn beast rushed out. On top of it was a majestic man with eyebrows and unicorn eyes. He shouted loudly: "Ah, my dear brother, you and I are straight We are so destined that we can meet each other on the road!”
Cao Cao was even more happy when he saw Lu Junyi and quickly dismounted to greet him.
Lu Junyi also jumped off the horse lightly and hugged Cao Cao: "My dear brother, we have been separated for several months, and I want to hurt my little brother! Seeing that the new year is coming, I am bored by that bird house. I packed some gifts and wanted to come to Yanggu to celebrate the New Year with Brother Wu. Who? I almost missed it. My dear friend, in this cold weather, if you don’t receive blessings at home, where will you go?"
Cao Cao understood as soon as he heard that Lu Junyi had killed his wife and had no elders or children. Seeing that the New Year was about to come, he must be alone and lonely in his heart, so he came to look for him - it can be seen that he really regarded himself as his brother. I was moved in my heart, so I naturally refused to hide it from him, so I said: "Since I said goodbye to my good brother, I have experienced several major events..."
He briefly talked about everything after the farewell. Hearing Lu Junyi's eyes widen, he stamped his feet and cheered. After saying this, Lu Junyi said with envy on his face: "Who would have thought that my dear friend's life would be so wonderful? Compared with my dear friend, my little brother is so happy." Like a bird in a cage, I am not free. If I had known this, I would have gone with my dear friend that day, leaving Yanqing to look after my belongings, so that I can feel at ease for a while and gain more knowledge."
He then said happily: "Fortunately, I met you on the road. Didn't you want to attack Zengtou Market? In fact, he also had a grudge against me. He bought more than a hundred good horses from the Liao Kingdom last year and had people take them to Bianjing for sale. I passed by another place on the way, but was forcibly detained. Although the money I gave was not a loss, it was less than 40% of the price in Bianjing. If I hadn't been lazy and sick, I would have burned down his house! This happened to be the same as my dear friend To take revenge.”
He turned to Yan Qing and said, "Xiao Yi, go get all my weapons and armor. My dear brother and I will go to fight. You bring everyone and gifts and go to Yanggu County to wait for us when we come back."
Yan Qing hurriedly said: "Master, you have never traveled far, how can you not accompany Xiao Yi? Besides, I have been taught this martial arts by my master since I was a child. In the battle formation, I can help the master cook a few. Yanggu County is not far away. , and letting Lao Wang lead the team is absolutely foolproof."
Lu Junyi pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "In that case, I will take you into battle to open your eyes."
Cao Cao said happily: "To be fair, brother, I have the best martial arts brothers here, they are all in Qingzhou. I heard that some of the brothers in Zengtou City are also very capable. I am worried that there are no generals to hold the battle. It would be best if my brother goes there. As for Your noble family, please order them to go to the hero building in Yanggu County to look for Zhu Fu, and make all arrangements for food, clothing, housing and transportation."
Lu Junyi laughed loudly after hearing this, patted his chest and said: "Don't worry, dear friend, besides your second son, who in the world is worthy of this gun?"
When Yan Qing was ordered to send an order for the team to bring gifts to Zhu Fu, he then rode on his horse and followed Cao Cao.
Yan Qing made arrangements and took Lu Junyi's weapons and armor to catch up with the team.
It was about three hundred miles from Yanggu to Nazentou City. Cao Cao and others walked for four days, crossed the Yellow River, and walked for another day. One of his subordinates who originally belonged to Yu Baosi reported: "Brother Haojiao has learned that , forty miles ahead from here is Zengtou City.
After hearing this, Cao Cao sent an order to stop, and waited until the teams behind him arrived. He left the road, found a remote mountain valley that was sheltered from the wind and the sun, and set up camp. He called Yu Baosi and asked him to act according to the plan.
Yu Baosi took the order. From the original arrangement, he selected seven or eight reliable confidants, including Han Polong, Li Yun, Jiao Ting, Yang Lin, Zheng Tianshou, and Shi Qian. All of them tore their clothes and made mistakes. His hair was messed up, and he was covered in dust on the ground. Then he stumbled to Zengtou City.
None of his group rode horses, and after walking forty miles into the night, they were all covered in dust, dripping with heat and sweat, and looked even more embarrassed.
When I arrived outside Zengtou City, I saw a pontoon bridge covered by wild water. There were more than ten men on the bridge, all wearing uniforms with the name "Zeng", each carrying a long gun, and shouted: "Stay here, you guys" , what’s the background? Come to me in the middle of the night.”
Yu Baosi was the first to walk out, and said with a tigerish face: "Don't you recognize my danger god Yu Baosi? I was invited by your master to do a business. Because the information was false, hundreds of brothers, only Come back to these few, don't ask for Luo Si, I will go to your masters to report it, otherwise I will miss something big and you won't be able to bear it."
Ikubo comes here several times a year. He has a head that he will never forget once he sees it. When the guards illuminated their lanterns, they immediately recognized him and hurriedly smiled and said: "It turns out to be Master Yu. Who dares to stop me? Master Yu, please, I will light the way for you!"
After that, several people were separated, and they led the way with lanterns.
Yubao and the others followed, and after crossing the bridge, there was a dense willow forest with roads extending in all directions. Yang Lin and Shi Qian were shocked when they saw it: Compared with Pantuo Road in Zhujiazhuang, this place is inferior to Pantuo Road in Zhujiazhuang. And no less, if no one is leading, ten thousand troops will be trapped here.
Following the lead Baoding, he walked around many twists and turns. When they arrived under the village wall, everyone looked up and saw that it was indeed magnificent.
It turns out that Zeng Tau Market is surrounded by natural hills on three sides, more than five feet high and as wide as a galloping horse. Only the east side is unobstructed. He built a wall of more than three feet high with masonry and huge trees. Mi Mi is full of broken knives and broken edges. Even if Little King Kong Gourd comes here, it will be difficult to climb.
The Baoding stepped forward and called the door. What he heard inside was that Yu Baosi had returned. He didn't open the door yet and rushed to Zeng's house to report.
About half an hour later, a big man in brocade robes lazily stretched out his body on the wall, and recognized it to be Yu Baosi. He laughed and said, "Shen Dao God, you have always been extravagant. You are known to be rampant in Qingzhou Wuji. How can you do that?" Are you in such a miserable state now that you have lost your troops and generals?"
Yubaosi was furious when he heard this, and thought to himself, "You are his grandma's old uncle!" I work hard for your family, but you make fun of me like this? Fortunately, I came here just to harm people, otherwise, wouldn’t it make me angry to the core?
Deliberately snort and say something!
There are different teachings: The dust of destiny is swept by the north wind, and the grand ambitions of hegemony turn to nothing. Kong Xu sat on the ground and swallowed the mountain tiger, and angered the dragon that caused chaos in the sky and the sea.
