Chapter 17 Guo Jia offers advice, Diao Chan decides
"Report, Lu Bu escaped from prison!"
"Report, Zhang Liao ran away on a red rabbit!"
"Report, there are about 400 war horses in the city and they are leaving the city together!"
"Report, General Xu and several other generals have led troops out of the city to pursue them. There is no news yet..."
Bad news came one after another.
Cao Cao, who had an angry look on his face, saw the messenger coming up with the news. After reporting the news, he kicked down the other one.
One by one, they fell down the stairs like a gourd.
I lay on the ground and sobbed without daring to make a sound.
The last courier who arrived was doing well and was not kicked downstairs.
However, he was almost struck by Cao Cao with his sword. However, he was stopped by the kind-hearted Mao Jie next to him.
Cao Cao was so angry that even Guo Jia on the side couldn't persuade him.
"Zhang Wenyuan, that despicable kid! He is indeed just like the traitors of Fengxian. They are all faithless traitors!"
"That's true. A slave with a third surname and a slave with a second surname are a good match."
"If we capture those two thieves this time, I suggest they be executed in public to serve as a warning to others!"
In the civil and military presence, there were many people who opened their mouths to curse, but no one who could come up with any ideas.
"Shu Zi bullied me too much!" Cao Cao was so upset that he overturned the table.
Wine, delicacies, bowls, pots, and cups were scattered all over the floor, and no one wanted to eat them.
How happy I was when I broke into the city during the day, how angry I am now when something happens.
Guo Jia, who was well-educated, was calm enough and asked seriously: "Do you know where they are fleeing?"
The courier on the ground quickly got up, not caring to wipe off the wet food and wine on his body.
"According to reports from the guards at the south gate, Lu Bu and Zhang Liao fled to Yangzhou, and Red Rabbit and other horses also went in the same direction."
Upon hearing that the horses were heading south, Cao Cao's face turned a little darker.
Thinking about Yuan Shu in the south, he may be assisted by the two powerful generals Lu Bu and Zhang Liao.
Cao Cao just wanted to curse people.
Originally, in his heart, he did not think highly of Yuan Shu, who was brave and indomitable.
Unexpectedly, it has become a big trouble now.
To the north is Yuan Shao, who is stationed in Jizhou, and to the south is Yuan Shu, who has ulterior motives for separatizing Yangzhou.
How could Cao Cao not be worried about his territory being sandwiched between the two?
"Please teach me, sir." Cao Cao grabbed Guo Jia's sleeve and sincerely asked for advice.
I'm afraid only Guo Jia, who is known as "very wise but almost a demon", can help him at this time.
Guo Jia seemed to have a countermeasure in mind, holding up his fan and saying with a smile:
"Those two renegade people are not worthy of Lord Sikong's worries at all."
"When I write a letter, Lord Sikong will personally stamp it and send it to Yuan Shu as quickly as possible."
"It won't take a few days, but it will collapse on its own."
Cao Cao was overjoyed when he heard this and held Guo Jia's arm tightly, "Sir, can you explain it to me in detail?"
Guo Jia smiled and said: "It's okay."
Then he held his feather fan in front of his face and whispered softly into Cao Cao's ear.
"Lord Sikong, all we need is this, this, this..."
……
After Jiang Yan left Zhang Liao behind, he headed to the grove to meet Diao Chan.
Unexpectedly, more and more horses followed behind him, and they all ran out behind him.
Looking back, I saw that there were about three to four hundred horses.
I'm afraid that nearly 30% of the troops and horses in Xiapi City would "rebellion" with him.
Cao Cao's cavalry suffered huge losses.
It is estimated that many cavalry can only be used as infantry after being uncoded.
Once you place the code, it will be useful for a while, but over time, your riding skills will become rusty and it will lose its original value.
It is quite expensive to train a qualified cavalryman. The same goes for war horses.
I wonder if Cao Cao's liver is okay at this time and whether he is angry or not.
Among this group of horses, except for the hundreds of horse believers who worship themselves, the others should be just following the crowd.
Not that bad.
If you can tame all these four hundred horses, it will be of great help to your future strategies.
With so many horses gathered together, it is too conspicuous.
It is easy to attract attention and be surrounded and suppressed by the army.
In troubled times, such a large group of ownerless war horses would make bandits very happy when they see them.
How to choose in the future can only depend on how courageous Jiang Yan is.
Jiang Yan stopped thinking about it and looked up to the sky and hissed.
The horses following behind them immediately stopped obediently outside the woods.
Including the previously bohemian Lu and Jueying.
These two idiots have separated a long time ago.
Even for a while on the road, Jueying chased and kicked Lu's butt like crazy.
There is quite a feeling of resentment that a young daughter-in-law feels after being raped.
There were originally four famous thousand-mile horses in Xiapi City.
Except for Cao Cao's other favorite horse, Huang Feidian, who is more honest, the other three horses all ran away from the city.
Today's chaos in Xia Pi and Ma will surely become a joke among the princes in the future.
Just captured Xiapi.
On the same day, Lu Bu and Zhang Liao fled, and also lost a large number of horses.
I'm afraid Cao Cao's face will suffer again.
At this time, the dense and rustling woods were already casting the fragmentary gleam of the morning sun.
Black and white light and shadow fall on the ground, like scattered fish scales.
The Diao Chan sleeping under the big tree woke up early in the warm morning light.
After simply washing my face by the stream.
He was sitting on the ground, staring blankly at the two little horses in front of him.
She also didn’t know where Red Rabbit went at night, and why he turned into two little mares when he woke up.
And when she wanted to leave, the two fillies deliberately stopped her.
Diao Chan didn't want to force her way in, even though she had the strength.
Because she was not stupid, she quickly thought that they might have been ordered by Red Rabbit.
Is Red Rabbit so powerful?
After not seeing him for a whole night, he found two "concubines" to guard him for him.
It is indeed a famous spiritual beast.
But what on earth did it go out to do?
Diao Chan had a guess, but felt it was too outrageous.
Until she saw the red figure walking leisurely in the bright morning light.
"Red Rabbit!"
Diao Chan excitedly rushed forward and hugged the horse's neck tightly.
It seems that by clinging to it like this, I feel a solid sense of security.
She doesn't even know why she is like this.
Jiang Yan doesn’t know either.
The woman's sudden enthusiasm really shocked him.
However, it is surprisingly comfortable.
"Chitu, tell me. Did you go to Xiapi City alone at night?" the woman cautiously asked.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
A flash of surprise flashed in Jiang Yan's eyes, he didn't expect this woman to be so smart.
My original impression of her has changed a bit again.
Jiang Yan nodded helplessly.
Then he thought of something and took out a rag from the bridle (pocket) wrapped around his neck and handed it to Diao Chan.
This was something he deliberately found in prison after a fight with the jailer.
In fact, he originally wanted to ask Lu Bu directly for a token, but he was afraid that the other party would become suspicious.
Fortunately, there are extra clothes in the prison, which are enough to coax Diao Chan.
Diao Chan curiously took it in her hand and checked it.
The green rag is made of burlap, with a half-broken word "prison" printed on it.
It looks like a summer style of prison uniform.
Starting from the Qin Dynasty, the correct colors of clothes are divided into five colors: red, green, yellow, white and black.
Generally, untouchables are mostly a mixture of green, purple, and ocher.
The positive color of cyan represents that the prisoner wearing this prison uniform once had a high status.
Doesn't it mean that Chitu gave this to him...
"Have you met Marquis Lu Wen?" Diao Chan opened her eyes in disbelief.
Jiang Yan nodded.
Diao Chan's chest rose and fell suddenly, and her beautiful eyes flashed.
I don’t know what else I’m thinking of.
After a long pause, he asked with some anxiety:
"Then, Lord Wen Hou, did he escape? Or..."
Jiang Yan nodded affirmatively.
Diao Chan instantly relaxed.
It's like a heavy burden has been lifted from my heart.
"Then do you know where he went?" Diao Chan asked again.
This time Jiang Yan chose to lie.
He shook his head directly.
Fortunately, the disappointment in Diao Chan's eyes was there, but it was not obvious.
It seems that the love between the two is not as deep as outsiders think.
The original worries were gone, and Diao Chan fell into confusion for a moment.
She suddenly didn't know where she should go in the future.
咴咴咴.
Red Rabbit chirped twice, bent his neck and cupped the woman's waist.
It seemed to be beckoning her to get on the horse.
The eyes of the two little horses behind them suddenly showed vigilance and jealousy.
This skinny "female monkey" actually wants to compete with them for their "husbands"?
Diao Chan, who didn't know that she was jealous of the two mares, didn't worry about it anymore.
Since you don’t know how to choose in the future, it’s better to let nature take its course and leave it to fate.
Chitu is the only companion she knows now.
She jumped onto the horse's back lightly, leaned down and patted the horse's neck intimately.
"Let's go, Red Rabbit."
