The atmosphere in the Chinese military tent was very dull, and everyone looked at the two people who had just entered in silence.

Cao Cao frowned, squinted his eyes, glanced at Jian Shuo, then glanced at the remaining people calmly, his eyes stopped on Bao Hong, and found that he, like himself and Yuan Shao, was dusty.

It seems that he has also participated in the battle.

"Why are everyone silent?" Cao Cao asked.

"Captain Cao, Colonel Yuan, you two sit down for now."

The leader, Jian Shuo, said politely. It could be seen that Cao Cao and Yuan Shao returned to the camp directly from the battlefield with blood all over their bodies. Then, his voice suddenly became cold, "Captain Bao, tell me about today's events."

Bar!"

Everyone's eyes fell on Bao Hong.

"Today my troops were ambushed by the Montenegrin Army in the north of the camp. The enemy's force was several times larger than mine. We fought until we broke through and suffered more than half of our casualties..."

"How many times?" Yuan Shao was a little surprised.

Bao Hong nodded, feeling defeated and dejected.

"Captain Cao, is the battle of the vanguard going smoothly?" Jian Shuo turned to ask, his tone seeming to be filled with accountability.

"The vanguard army also encountered several times the number of enemies. However, our army fought bravely and received timely reinforcements from Captain Yuan. Our army killed thousands of enemies, but there were also hundreds of casualties. However, almost everyone in the army is injured today. Tomorrow

I'm afraid we won't be able to fight again." Cao Cao promised himself, obviously the result of this battle was still acceptable.

Upon hearing this, Jian Shuo's stern face relaxed slightly.

"Captain Cao is worthy of being a Yellow Turban general. He can achieve such a feat in several places. How magnificent! I will ask your Majesty for your merits!" Jian Shuo said, looking at Bao Hong again, "Captain Bao

The lieutenant's battle is not going well, so he is temporarily resigning as a military academy lieutenant."

Bao Hong's eyes widened and he glared at Jian Shuo angrily. He was dissatisfied: they were on the same level, why should he be removed from his position?

However, his eyes softened quickly. If Jian Shuo spoke, His Majesty would definitely obey him. If he refused, Jian Shuo might have to hold him accountable for his failure in the battle in front of His Majesty. He couldn't afford it.

"Bao Hong did!" Bao Hong said with cupped hands, then took off his helmet and left the tent.

Jian Shuo continued: "The army in Heishan is huge, definitely not 20,000 or 30,000. After the army was defeated, I ordered the army to escort His Majesty south to the Qinghe Kingdom. The bandits from Heishan had ulterior motives and wanted to pursue them. Jinwu Ding was intercepting them.

.”

"Your Majesty..." Yuan Shao hesitated, his eyes full of horror.

The Black Mountain Army is so powerful!

"Where is Wang Fen?" Cao Cao asked calmly, feeling uneasy in his heart.

Wang Fen was the one who had won over him, and Wang Fen was considered a righteous man. Cao Cao couldn't bear to betray him, so he should have never accepted his letter. If the swordsmen met, each would do his own thing.

Jian Shuo obviously didn't care about Wang Fen and ignored Cao Cao's question.

"Captain Yuan, at dawn tomorrow, you will lead your army to follow me south to pursue His Majesty. You must protect His Majesty!"

"Captain Cao, suspend the westward advance. The Dian army and Zhi Jinwu will be responsible for stopping the Black Mountain Army. The supporting armies will be led by Captain Cao and follow orders!"

Jian Shuo made arrangements to divide the Xiyuan Army into two, with Cao Cao responsible for the reinforcements and Yuan Shao responsible for the defense.

After the accounts were settled, Yuan Shao went back to his own account to wash himself and change into clean clothes. After he finished his work, he began to think about today's events.

After much thought, I simply went for a walk outside the tent. As I walked, I suddenly saw an acquaintance under the light of the fire.

"Mengde?"

Yuan Shao called out strangely, seeing how he looked, why didn't he even change out of his clothes that were stained with sweat and blood?

"Why are you here?" Yuan Shao asked next.

When Cao Cao came back to his senses, he realized that the person coming was Yuan Shao. He sighed, "The Black Mountain army is powerful, and I am thinking of ways to defeat the enemy."

"How are you thinking?"

Cao Cao shook his head and said, "Everyone in the Dian army was injured. They were in a plane crash. I don't know how Ding Jianyang is doing in the battle."

Cao Cao made an excuse at random. In fact, what he was thinking was that it was Wang Fen who assassinated Hong. Now that Jian Shuo's army is beside Liu Hong, not even the general, for Wang Fen, tonight is undoubtedly the best night.

opportunity.

Cao Cao was frightened when he thought of this.

"Ding Jianyang is brave and good at fighting, and he has Zhang Yang and Lu Bu under his command. In my opinion, Jinwu's combat power far exceeds that of the Xiyuan Army, and it is no problem to stop the Black Mountain Army!" Yuan Shao said.

How did Yuan Shao know that Cao Cao was not targeting Ding Yuan at all, but Wang Fen.

…

In the Qinghe Kingdom, there was no city in front and no county in the back. In the dark, Liu Hong stopped his army to rest.

The troops from Xiyuan guarded the area around the king's tent, while Wang Fen led the state troops to defend the northern perimeter. If the enemy came after them, they would attack them first.

At this moment, it was late at night and Liu Hong had fallen asleep, but the lights in the simple tent of the Jizhou soldiers were brightly lit.

Wang Fen, Xu You and the others were sitting on their knees in a small tent, discussing the next move.

Wang Fen analyzed the current situation and said that it was too risky for the Xiyuan Army to follow His Majesty.

Xu You said: "It is a God-given opportunity to lead the Black Mountain Army to divide its troops to attack, and to separate Liu Hong, Ding Yuanzhi Jinwu and most of the Xiyuan Army. It will be accomplished tonight!"

Several other people also agreed with Xu You. Some of the details of this plan were planned by Xu You. So far, the progress has been smooth.

However, the offensive of the Black Mountain Army seemed to be more fierce than they expected, so that most of the Xiyuan Army had to stay in Anping State to stop the Black Mountain Army.

"The success rate of hijacking the camp at night is very high, so we will act according to Xu Ziyuan's plan. I will personally go to deliver false information and lead the troops out. You two will be responsible for intercepting and delaying." Wang Fen pointed to the two generals in the account.

, then looked at the other person, "You lead the people to bring fire starters, burn the king's tent, and force Liu Hong to come out."

Then, Wang Fen looked at the person next to him and said, "You are a master marksman. The two hundred shooters in our army are all under your command. If there is a fire in the camp, you must shoot Liu Hong!"

A cold light flashed in Wang Fen's eyes, obviously she had made up her mind!

…

To the south of Anping Kingdom, a cavalryman lit a torch and was marching slowly eastward. From a distance, it looked like a fire dragon stretching out, swimming from Anping Kingdom to Qinghe Kingdom.

The cool breeze blew away at night, blowing away the remaining warmth of the day, but under the light of the torches, you could still see the generals' gate full of tall men.

Before walking for a while, the heavily armed knights would come down and walk for a while, firstly to reduce the burden on the horses, and secondly to exercise them.

"Commander, why are you suddenly heading east?" Zhao Yun, holding a rein in one hand and a gun in the other, asked the military counselor.

"I thought things would go as I expected. The Black Mountain Army waited and fought hard with the Xiyuan Army. Wang Fen launched an attack, raided Dingyuan, and then attacked His Majesty. Who expected Liu Hong to follow the Xiyuan Army? It seems

He still treats the 70,000 Montenegrin troops as soft persimmons." Guo Jia said with a smile.

"Aren't they?" Zhao Yun asked.

"Haha, for Zilong, it is indeed!" Guo Jiadao, but thinking in his heart: the combat effectiveness of the Montenegrin Army far exceeds that of the ordinary peasant army, and there are many people, and Liu Hong is obviously very tempting to the Montenegrin Army, and even makes them give up.

Instead of waiting for work, he took the initiative.

"We are going to Qinghe Country. Has His Majesty already entered Qinghe Country?" Zhao Yun just guessed the trick.

"Yes, the Black Mountain Army is crazy. Originally, I planned to let Gao Shun rescue people, but now it seems that the great role of escort belongs to Zilong!"

Zhao Yun chuckled, "Of course the credit goes to the military advisor!"

"Hey, I don't want Liu Hong's credit, I just want my lord's credit." Guo Jia smiled.

Zhao Yun is still thinking, is there any difference between the two? Is the Lord's reward also given by His Majesty?

"The filial father..."

"My filial father has left Xiabo and joined forces with Ding Jianyang to attack the Montenegrin Army. He has made great contributions."

Until now, Guo Jia still has not told Zhao Yun the goal of this operation.

No one else will ever know the lord's intentions.

"What about Wenbo?"

"Wenbo is waiting for work, waiting for the Montenegrin army to return to the saw deer."

Zhao Yun now knew that Zhu Ling had gone to Jiangshui Bank, and he, under the leadership of Guo Jia, came to Qinghe Country.

Suddenly, a red dot ran up ahead, gradually enlarging in size, and finally it was a sentry.

"Alert to the military division, the Xiyuan Army has been stationed about ten miles ahead!" the riding post reported.

Guo Jia nodded to express his understanding.

It seems that the incident will happen tonight. It is more than ten miles away. If we speed up a little, we will arrive soon.

"Zilong, my lord accidentally learned that Wang Fen, the governor of Jizhou, wanted to murder your majesty. We are here to help your majesty." Guo Jia told half the truth.

Zhao Yun suddenly realized that this was the case. No wonder the military advisor came in person!

Then a trace of doubt flashed through my mind. Since I was assisting His Majesty, it would be better to arrive as soon as possible. Why did the military advisor repeatedly order the cavalry to dismount and walk on foot?

Is it really to save energy for war horses and train cavalry?

"Military advisor, are our troops on their way?"

"The cavalry is overloaded and travels a long distance. When the horses are exhausted on the battlefield, how can they fight?"
