Five hundred and fiftieth eight chapters against the bandits
Huainan is very suitable for his own development. Because Liu Bei has a high reputation, Chen Dao can develop so rapidly in Huainan under the banner of Liu Bei. Therefore, Chen Dao is really reluctant to leave this place.
However, now that he has defeated Cao Jun, Cao Jun will definitely not let him go easily. I am afraid that it won't be long before Cao Jun will come to attack him with a large army.
Facing Cao's army that is thousands of miles away, Chen Dao is still confident that he can defeat it. However, facing thousands of Cao's troops, it is obviously difficult for the three thousand people to win.
Cao's army has been fighting for a long time, and their combat effectiveness is obviously much stronger. Even though Chen Dao was confident, he did not have the confidence to defeat the invading Cao army.
Chen Dao was caught in a dilemma. Whether he left or stayed was up to him. If he left, he would not have such a base suitable for development. If he stayed, he would have to face the wrath of Cao Jun.[
After much thought, Chen Dao decided to stay. Huainan is a vast area with few people, and he only has more than 3,000 people. It is very easy to find a hiding place in such a vast territory.
Moreover, Cao Jun is definitely an ideal touchstone. When Chen reaches a large level, he can fight guerrilla warfare with Cao Jun. When facing a large wave of Cao Jun, he will avoid its edge. When facing a small wave of Cao Jun, he can send troops to annihilate it.
Cao's army is very powerful in combat, and the soldiers trained with them as the cornerstone must be extremely powerful in combat. Therefore, Chen Dao will never let go of such an opportunity easily. However, if Chen Dao knew that those who attacked him were the elite of Cao's army, Chen Dao obviously would not make such a decision.
However, by the time Chen Dao found out, it was already too late. Chen Dao obviously would not have thought that his simple move would actually attract the elites of Cao's army like Hu Bao Qi.
In order to eliminate the banditry in Huainan as soon as possible, Cao Chun ordered the soldiers of the Hupao Cavalry to travel day and night. They must feel Huainan in the shortest possible time, and then eliminate the bandits in Huainan as soon as possible, so that the Taiwei knows that the reputation of the Hupao Cavalry is not allowed to be questioned. of.
"Uncle Chun, let's take a rest." Cao Ang was in a daze. The tiger and leopard riders had been traveling day and night for several days, which made the strong Cao Ang a little unbearable. Cao Ang was like this, let alone Cao Pi.
Although Cao Pi also had some strength, he was far different from the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry soldiers who had been trained for a long time. The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry soldiers could not bear it, let alone Cao Pi, who was not as good as them.
Looking at the exhausted Cao Pi, Cao Chun frowned slightly. He was only focused on rushing, and he actually forgot that there was such a dragster next to him. However, it is really good for a young master to do this. After all, he was so tired that he didn't say a word.
"Okay." Cao Chun nodded. Cao Chun also felt a little tired after driving without sleep and food. Even if he was an elite soldier of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, if it had been anyone else, he would have been unable to endure such a gallop.
After just one day of rest, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry began to rush again. Although the soldiers could not bear it, this was also a kind of experience for the soldiers. Exercise must be present all the time, so everyone must be mentally prepared prepared.
The only one who was unprepared was Cao Pi. This period of time was very hard for Cao Pi. He thought he could endure the military life, but just rushing on the road made him tired like this. If he got to the battlefield, Go ahead, I'm afraid I'll be the first to die.
However, Cao Pi felt relieved when he thought that the only ones he had to fight against were bandits. After all, the bandits were not a threat to him. Although his physical fitness was not as good as that of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry soldiers, ordinary soldiers, Cao Pi I am still confident that I can defeat it, after all, I am not weak.
With such a rush, the soldiers of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry finally felt Huainan. And Cao Pi also breathed a sigh of relief. After all, Cao Pi had really had enough of such a rush. In this life, he didn't want to do it again. .
When they arrived in Huainan, Cao Chun got the news he least wanted to hear, that is, this group of bandits had gone into seclusion in the mountains and forests.
After the banditry appeared, Cao Jun who was guarding Huainan organized many encirclement and suppression campaigns. However, this group of bandits was quite cunning. They only chose to fight small groups of Cao Jun. When facing Cao Jun's large troops, they usually chose to give in.
Although Cao Jun was angry, there was nothing he could do. After all, as long as they gathered in a group, the gangsters would not come out. And if they dispersed, Cao Jun was obviously no match for the gangsters.
Cao Jun also tried to lure this group of bandits, but the bandits were indeed much smarter than they imagined. Cao Jun's temptation had no effect at all, and once it almost backfired.
Knowing that this group of bandits would not be fooled, Cao Jun could only launch a large-scale attack on the bandits. However, this also made the bandits disappear. They knew that they were no match for the large group of Cao Jun, so they could only choose to hide.
Cao Jun searched several times, but could not find any information about this group of bandits from Zhao Fei. There was no way, Huainan had just been under the rule of Cao Jun, and there were many imperfections.[
Under the banner of Liu Bei, this group of bandits robbed the rich and helped the poor, which made the people in Huainan quite convinced of these bandits. This was also the main reason why Cao Jun's search failed several times.
p
When such news arrived, Cao Chun decisively ordered all Cao Jun soldiers to enter the city and stand by. p
Through everything, Cao Chun realized that this group of bandits was definitely difficult to deal with. Looking at their tactics, there must be someone among them who had some advice, and this person's strategy was obviously not bad.
After that, Cao Chun asked the soldiers of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry to rest. He knew that the bandits were already scared and they would not come out in a short time.
But it won't be long before this group of bandits will come out again. Since they are under the banner of Liu Bei and have won the hearts of the people, it proves that they will not rob peasants who are unable to fight back.
If the peasants cannot be robbed, then only the nobles in Huainan or Cao Jun can do it. As long as Cao Chun sends out words to calm down the aristocratic families in Huainan, let them concentrate their forces and try not to go out. If the bandits cannot plunder food, they will be desperate sooner or later. of.
However, the implementation period of this plan is relatively long. However, this method is indeed the best way so far. After all, Cao Chun cannot find the whereabouts of the bandits, so he can only resort to this strategy.
Chen Dao had known for a long time that Cao Jun would be like this, but it was not under his control. Now, whether it was Cao Jun or the wealthy families in Huainan, they all shrank. This left Chen Dao suddenly without a source of food.
Bandits rely on robbery to make a living, and the bandits led by Chen Dao cannot attack the common people, so they can only attract the attention of the wealthy families. But now, these wealthy families who are afraid of being beaten have become difficult to deal with.
If he were in the wild, Chen Dao would have the confidence to eliminate the number of noble soldiers twice his own in a short period of time, and then quickly retreat. But now, Chen Dao would not be so arrogant as to believe that with his current strength, he could break through the house heavily guarded by the nobles.
Although the wall of the house does not seem to be high, it will definitely affect the attack of the soldiers. In a short period of time, if the house is not breached, looted and retreated, Chen Dao is likely to be surrounded by Cao's army inside and outside.
If you are really surrounded, it will definitely be your end.
However, Chen Dao is still facing the end. Without food and grass, they will starve to death sooner or later. Therefore, this is another dilemma.
Chen arrived and ordered Tian Song to be summoned. He was the only one in the entire military camp who could discuss matters.
After a while, Tian Song appeared in front of Chen Dao. He naturally knew what Chen Dao was looking for, but now he was also worried about it.
"I already know what the general is calling me for, and I have been thinking about it these past few days. Now I do have a way, but this method is a bit risky." Seeing Chen arrive, Tian Song said in a deep voice.
When Tian Song said there was a way, Chen Dao's eyes lit up. Now he couldn't care less about the danger. If he didn't do it, these soldiers would starve to death.
"What can you do, just say it?" Chen Dao said eagerly.
"Now, the entire Huainan has basically been under martial law. It is extremely difficult for us to seize food from Huainan. As for the current plan, I can only look for opportunities elsewhere. If you can trust me, give me a thousand soldiers, and I will go Try your luck outside."
Tian Song's words were very sincere, and considering that Tian Song saved himself and the thousands of lives under his command that day, how could Chen Dao not believe Tian Song. He looked at Tian Song and thought silently.
Tian Song's method is indeed feasible, but he is right, this method is also a bit dangerous. Betting all the fate on Tian Song and a thousand people makes Chen Dao somewhat hesitant.[
It's not that he can't trust Tian Song, but if Tian Song gets nothing from this trip, then the lives of thousands of his people will be all handed down here. Without food and grass, and without Cao's army killing him, he can't bear it anymore .
However, this is the only way right now. He looked at Tian Song and nodded affirmatively. "Now that things have come to this, I'm afraid this is the only way I can try, so I'll leave this matter to you."
Chen Dao knew that it was not appropriate for him to leave this place. After all, the lord's wife still needed to be protected by himself. If he left, who would protect the lord's wife?
Nowadays, the lord's wife is more important than anyone else, so most of the troops must be used to protect them. If anything happens to the lord's wife, Chen Dao will never see Liu Bei again.
Tian Song looked at Chen Dao and replied affirmatively: "General, don't worry, Song will not disappoint you."
"When have you ever let me down?" Chen Dao looked at Tian Song and smiled. He had 100% trust in Tian Song. After all, he was everyone's savior.
Tian Song nodded, and then left without looking back. Since Chen Dao believed in himself so much, Tian Song would naturally not let him down. After he gathered a thousand soldiers, he led his soldiers and left quietly.
A thousand soldiers is not too much, and a few is not a lot. With these thousand soldiers, Tian Song is confident that he can get some food back.
