024 Follow-up
There are only three thousand people, but there are tens of thousands of war horses.
One man and four horses, one riding, two transferring, and one carrying baggage, food and grass.
Ten thousand horses galloped, and wherever they passed, the earth trembled, and the unswept snow turned into mud spots, splashing everywhere.
Leave the county.
A county town in Jizhou, a must-pass place for the army.
When the county magistrate of Li County received a legend from his subordinates that the grassland people had arrived, he was so shocked that he was sweating profusely and ran to the city wall without even putting his clothes on.
With the white fish belly in the sky, at first glance, there are a war horse and thousands of people on the grassland.
"What a grassland man!" Looking at the city, the county magistrate's heart sank instantly, "Prevent the city and send a commander to Yecheng to pass the commander."
"Can you know me in the county magistrate Zhang in the city?" The dawn in the sky became brighter and brighter. Just as the county magistrate in the city was preparing to welcome the grasslanders to attack the city, a cry suddenly came from below.
Only then did he see clearly that there were hundreds of people wearing black Hanfu before the grassland people.
Looking closely at the person who was calling out to the leader, [Isn’t this the fourth son Cao Zhi?]
"Is the fourth young master under the city?" County Magistrate Zhang asked tentatively.
"It's me that I will have an emergency war. Open the city gate quickly and let the army replenish the food and grass." Cao Zhi's voice was not high, but it was very clear, resounding throughout the city.
"this...."
I looked carefully at the man below. It was the fourth prince Cao Zhi. He saw the portrait two months ago. It looked very similar. It should not be wrong. But now the fourth prince came with a large army and opened the city gate by himself. The county magistrate was a little hesitant.
Before, he had not received any orders for military supplies.
"The battle situation is urgent, and there is no need to delay any delay. If County Magistrate Zhang does not open the city gate, I will attack the city and take it by himself." After the words, Cao Zhi bent his bow and arrows, and the two arrows accurately shot the two ropes hanging on the moat. With a loud bang, the moat bridge was heavily stuck on the moat.
"Please be careful not to be impatient. Now let's raise food and grass for the general, and then send people to the city to supply the young master's army outside the city?" The rumbling sound of the suspension bridge sounded in his heart, and he became wise in a hurry. The county magistrate said loudly.
"Mr. Zhang County, I will only give you one hour."
Cao Zhi's voice was unquestionable, but it also made the county magistrate breathe a sigh of relief.
"Hurry, go and collect all available food and grass in the city, and then send it down with a hanging basket!" The county magistrate Zhang hurriedly ordered the people around him.
Half an hour later, one after another, one hanging basket after another hung down from the city wall.
He waved his hand and quickly took the cavalry behind him.
After picking it up, I left without any stop.
Looking at the leaving Cao Zhi army, County Magistrate Zhang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, "Send a messenger to report this to Yecheng."
After passing along the way, Cao Zhi was recognized by Shadow Secret Guard in the past two months, almost all cities could recognize Cao Zhi, which eliminated the misunderstanding of not distinguishing between the enemy and the enemy.
But recognizing it does not mean that they will always provide him with food and grass honestly.
So, Cao Zhi attacked some cities ruthlessly.
Seven days later, the army arrived at what Zhen Mi mentioned.
After taking a break here and replenishing the military rations for three days, the army headed straight to Ji County.
When Cao Zhi's army entered Youzhou and rushed to Ji County, Cao Cao, who was still in Yecheng, had received documents from the county magistrates from various places one after another.
Cao Cao, who received the documents from each county, was not angry, but drew a line on the map along the directions of each county, which was the route of Cao Zhi's troops.
"This kid is so brave!"
"Come, tell me that Mrs. Zhen is here."
Soon, Zhen Mi came to Cao Cao.
"This is a document from various counties, look." He threw the document in his hand to Zhen Mi, and Cao Cao had a cold face. The temperature in the whole room seemed to have dropped several degrees.
Zhen Mi, who had expected it, opened the documents, looked at them one by one, and said calmly, "Report to my father, this is my husband's combat plan."
"My husband took advantage of Jizhou and went straight to Jixian. He rushed forward in lightning. There was no delay at all, so he had to take some extraordinary measures and ask his father to forgive him."
"Why don't you report in advance?" Cao Cao asked in a deep voice.
"Three thousand light cavalry penetrated deep behind the enemy. If there is a slight mistake, it will be broken into pieces. Therefore, the fewer people know, the better." Zhen Mi said softly.
"The fewer people know, the better?" Cao Cao suddenly laughed, "The fewer people this also include orphans?"
"Of course, it does not include the father, but the people around him." Facing Cao Cao's scrutiny, Zhen Mi said, "My husband said that there is a tiger in his heart, and he sniffs the rose carefully, and details determine success or failure."
"My husband is worried that his father will be worried that his safety will be arranged after he knows it in advance. Then someone who is interested will find out the truth. Then..."
"A person with a heart, does this person with a heart refer to Zihuan?"
Cao Cao's straightforward question made Zhen Mi feel a little confused about how to answer.
Facing those tiger-like eyes, he calmed down his mind, and then said, "Including."
"Hahaha......."
Zhen Mi's frankness also made Cao Cao stunned, and then she chuckled, with anger hidden in her laughter, "You just admit it? The two brothers have become so distrustful, are there no more water and fire?"
"My husband once said: You should not have the intention to harm others, and you should be careful of others. This is true for ordinary people, let alone such a great deal of power disputes between princes. Looking back on history, how many people died at the hands of brothers, and the husband did not want to do so."
"I visited my husband on New Year's Eve. My husband told me that in front of my father, we only make the word "sincere". Others, the clear ones will be clear, and the turbid ones will be turbid. My father's generation of heroes will have a clear decision." Zhen Mi said.
Politicians want to take off their pants and fart, and they must know but pretend not to know, but Zhen Mi does the opposite. This is also Cao Zhi's meaning. With Cao Cao, he does not follow the path of a politician, but he follows the path of his son.
"You must not have the intention to harm others, but you must be careful of others...ah... I am a little Zijian, really a thorough person."
Shaking his head, sighing, as if he exhaled all his emotions. Cao Cao said to Zhen Mi who was kneeling on the ground, "Mi'er, get up first. Can Zijian's specific plan be discussed with Gu Qing now?"
"Father, my husband just asked me to prepare three-day rations on the border of Jizhou. As for the rest, my husband said that there is no plan for this battle and it will be up to the situation. In short, no matter what, before the three-day rations are cut off, I will definitely take Jixian."
"After taking down Jixian, my husband planned to attack Dai County in front and behind to defeat the Xianbei."
Upon hearing this, Cao Cao frowned and snorted coldly, "It's simple. Even if he ran to Ji County within three days, even if Ji County was caught off guard, there were still tens of thousands of troops stationed there, and the city walls of Ji County were still solid and heavy. His three thousand light cavalry did not have any siege equipment. How could he take Ji County?"
"If he can't get Jixian, he has no food and supplies, and he will be surrounded by reinforcements, so he will have no way to die."
"It also defeated the Xianbei. Even if his little force is attacked from front and back, it is far from enough!"
"I believe my husband can do it." Zhen Mi looked at Cao Cao and said word by word.
