Chapter 3369 This one
Chapter 3368 This...that...
In the Cao army camp, the fire swayed.
The night is heavy.
Heart is deep.
In the fire, Cao Hong's face turned pale.
At present, what is facing Cao Hong is not only physical pain, but also a series of problems.
They lack food and grass, and even if they want to use some money to stabilize people's hearts, they will not be able to spend enough money.
And even if it is taken out now, it is useless.
The transported food and grass queue was five days later than originally scheduled, and I don’t know when it will come.
Cao Hong suddenly lost confidence in completing his task.
Pulling requires pulling and pulling, losing and winning. Only by consuming the power of the cavalry as much as possible can the next plan be implemented smoothly...
But the goals of all this seem to be becoming more and more distant and increasingly difficult to achieve.
what to do?
What is Dahan Cao Family Co., Ltd. now?
I won’t talk about the turmoil of shareholders within the management level. Now even the middle and lower levels are beginning to be in chaos, not in the same position as the top.
The employees who were originally obedient and hardworking did not talk about blessings anymore, and they also started to talk about rewards and conditions, which was simply against Tiangang!
After all the instructions, performance goals and decompositions are issued, they will not be able to complete them.
For the financial statements for the six-year and full-year period this year, are you going to wonder where to start telling stories?
Can't these cows and horses be obedient, so that the boss can have a peaceful and gentle young model in the club?
Is Cao's company easy now? The economy is in a downturn, the transaction is bleak, and the storm is in turmoil!
There is no sympathy at all!
Why can't these cattle and horses continue to empathize with capital?!
Why can't we just spend money and give birth to children obediently?
Cao Hong took a breath of cold air.
It hurts.
It hurts, and the head hurts too.
He had to admit that this task was unprecedentedly difficult!
But thinking about it on the other hand, if it weren't for the arduous task, how could Cao Cao have to let him carry out it?
Cao Professional's rear-end Hong looked down at the wound on his calf, and couldn't help but remember Xu Chu's stunning knife before!
The knife flashes, blood splatters!
Horses stroll, people twitch.
Everything seems to be because of this knife, and it seems to be not just this knife...
『Packard, wrapped...』
The guard whispered.
Cao Hong gritted his teeth and said, "Please take A for someone! I want to patrol the camp!"
"The Lord..." The guard hesitated, "Your wound..."
"Go and get armor!" Cao Hong waved his hand, "These injuries are not in the way!"
It's certainly fake to say that it's not a problem.
Cao Hong knew that it was not good when he cut off the air with one knife. Years of experience on the battlefield made him almost instinctively avoid it. Otherwise, he would not have been injured in his calf now, and he might have lost one leg!
Although Cao Hong's calves are protected by shin armor, Xu Chu's sword is also exquisite and refined, so Cao Hong's calves were lifted, which can be seen in the bones.
Although it has been bandaged now, blood is still slowly leaking outward.
"Master, you are inconvenient to move..." The guard whispered, "I'll go patrol the camp!"
Cao Hong took a breath, "No, I have to go! If you don't walk around, it should be okay!"
Seeing that Cao Hong insisted, the guards stopped saying anything, helped Cao Hong get up, pierced his armor, and then carried Cao Hong on his horse.
Cao Hong was also tough, enduring the pain, gritted his teeth, and said nothing.
If it is said to be "unobstructed", how can there be anything that can be "unobstructed"?
Not to mention this kind of wound that is almost deep and visible to the bone, it can cause a heart-wrenching pain when it moves. Even ordinary pain often leads to a direct collapse of will.
Well, for example, a broken finger or something...
But now Cao Hong didn't even dare to spread the word about the doctor, so he could only ask the guard to bandage it.
Of course, as Cao Hong, the best Jinchuang medicine is naturally indispensable.
His guards also have certain treatment methods for some superficial golden aches.
But after all, it is a bit different from a professional gold ache doctor.
However, Cao Hong dares not tell the doctor to come now...
Otherwise, I don’t know what the rumors would be like in the camp!
"The chief general patrols the camp!"
"Idle and evasion!"
Cao Hong's guards raised the banner and opened the way forward.
This is an abnormal patrol patrol under abnormal circumstances.
Cao Hong sat on the horse's back and maintained his majesty as much as possible, but every bump on the war horse would bring him pain.
But this physical pain cannot overwhelm the sadness in my heart.
I'm afraid this camp will not be able to be maintained for a few days...
The night is getting darker.
Inside the camp, the lights swayed.
Now, in the Cao army camp, soldiers are resting in any better positions.
The camp is surrounded by a camp, and the village wall is connected to the village wall.
Traps and flips, horses and antlers.
Everything brings together the hard work of Cao Cao and Cao Hong, especially Cao Hong's.
This is almost a huge masterpiece he created with his own hands.
The suspension bridge on the earthen plateau is leisurely, and this is the best channel for launching surprise attacks and side attacks.
Beneath those flip boards and traps, there are also some hidden underground passages that allow Cao's soldiers to appear behind the Cavalry.
Cao Hong once believed that even if the General of the Cavalry could take such a camp, he would have to pay an extremely heavy price. But now, he suddenly felt a little weak...
But this path is your own path after all, and even if you endure the pain, you will have to finish it!
Along the way, I don’t know how many eyes I had, either in the gaps in the tent, between the fences, or in the dark corners of the night, secretly and silently staring at Cao Hong and his party.
Cao Hong rode his horse and walked slowly along the hillside gullies, nodding at a certain place from time to time, or smiling at a military academy he knew. When he met a familiar soldier and general on duty, he would stop and give him a few simple words of condolences.
After Cao Hong walked around like this, some sounds disappeared.
From this perspective, Cao Hong's persistence is indeed effective, but it is hard to say how good it is...
The night is dark.
The stars are long.
The night has just begun, but the darkness seems to have been around for a long time.
Everything seems to be the same as before, and everything seems to be completely different.
Halfway through, Cao Hong suddenly grabbed the war horse.
"What's wrong? Lord?"
The guards were a little nervous. They stood tightly on Cao Hong's side and looked around, as if in the darkness, enemies would jump out at any time!
『Um…』 Cao Hong suddenly smiled, with some ease and confidence, 『Nothing! Nothing happens! Hahaha! Go, give... Well, send an order to Bao Shuyi and let him see me when he goes out to camp!"
Cao's army camp is a large camp, a set of small camps, one set after another.
Let Bao Zhong go out of the camp, of course, not to let him go out of the camp, but to let Bao Zhong go out of the small camp where he stationed...
A moment later, Cao Hong met Bao Zhong at a bare half-stump.
Bao Zhong did not wear a trouser, but was wearing simple armor, not even a trouser or shoulder swallow, let alone a trouser, robe and other parts. Bao Zhong's slightly scattered hair was floating in the air, and he was waiting with two or three guards. When he saw Cao Hong coming, he bowed respectfully.
Because I don’t know why Cao Hong suddenly summoned him, and it was at night. Bao Zhongxin was a little weak, and there was a little sweat on his back and forehead. Under the stars and moonlight, there were light of water.
Bao Zhong was indeed a little guilty.
Cao Sheng returned from a great defeat and was said to have suffered some injuries, which is more or less related to Bao Zhong.
Although according to "convention", Bao Zhong stood up bravely after Cao Sheng was defeated, cleaned up the final mess, and slowly retreated with the soldiers of Cao's army, achieving the "maximum effort" that a defeated general could do, the problem is...
What's wrong if you're found out?
The fake ones are still fake, and no matter how you pretend, they are fake.
If he had not been injured, Cao Hong would have thought that Bao Zhong was a bit thief, but now for some reason, Cao Hong's perception and attitude towards Bao Zhong have slightly changed. Perhaps Cao Hong was also pretending?
So, although Cao Hong saw that Bao Zhong was sweating slightly on his forehead, he didn't think much about it. He thought that Bao Zhong was rushed out and left anxiously...
And now most of Cao Hong’s mind is thinking about something...
One thing that made Cao Hong a little excited, and even felt that it was a great opportunity to turn defeat into victory!
"Shuyi asks you to get up, there is no need to be too polite in the army."
Cao Hong waved his hand.
Bao Zhong responded.
Cao Hong sat on the back of the horse. He was not convenient for dismounting, and he was a little embarrassed. He pretended to be calm and calm. "Now he was only slightly defeated, and our army still has great potential."
This is like telling the year that the economy is improving and the stock market expects to be good.
『Yes... what the general said...』
Bao Zhong replied.
Cao Hong ignored Bao Zhong's tone. He sat on the horse's back, turned his head and looked north. "Shuyi, do you think the cavalry will come to attack at night?"
After hearing Cao Hong said this, Bao Zhong suddenly felt a sudden heartbroken!
What does Cao Hong mean?
Cao Hong didn't look at Bao Zhong, he was staring at the north.
There is the direction of the Cavalry Camp.
Cao's army is a human, and the cavalry army is also a human. After fighting a day of war, they all need rest...
But if the Cavalry Army sent people to attack the night despite the fatigue of the soldiers, then would Cao Hong have the opportunity to deal with the Cavalry Army?
Cao Hong was really not thinking about testing Bao Zhong at the moment.
While patrolling the camp, he suddenly thought of a question when he looked at the excavated fortifications and defense systems...
Just as Cao Hong was worried that if the news of his injury was dispersed, it would lead to unstable morale in the Cao army camp. Then does the Cavalry Army also feel that he was injured now, which is a good opportunity to attack?
This is the Cao army camp!
It was Cao Cao and Cao Hong who spent a lot of effort and effort to build a huge military camp with unknown amount of manpower, material resources and financial resources!
Cao Hong naturally knew how troublesome it would be if he really ate this camp little by little, so if he was a cavalryman, he would definitely not be willing to choose to fight this camp honestly!
So now, the news of his injury will inevitably be passed on to the Cavalry Army, and how will the Cavalry Army react?
Will he come to fight with conscience when his injury is healed?
Obviously impossible!
So, the result is obvious...
『Night attack!』
Cao Hong's voice was decisive, "Just tonight! The cavalry will definitely send someone to attack the night! Please help me!"
Bao Zhong was panicked in his heart, pretending to be calm on the surface, and patted his chest to express his determination...
The cavalry attacked me at night. What did Cao Hong come to me for?
Could it be...
Most of the time, when the bread slices fall, the butter-stained side always goes downwards.
After a while, Cao Hong explained some things, and said a few words of encouragement, drew a big cake and threw it away, and then took the guard away.
Bao Zhong was as if Cao Hong had just pressed him to the side of the tree stump and took a turn, and was in a daze.
Why did Cao Hong come to Bao Zhong specifically?
That's because Cao Hong discovered that Bao Zhong was actually a very "steady, mature and cautious" general!
It's rare!
In the previous few battles, Bao Zhong's move beyond Cao Hong's unexpected ended up achieving results beyond ordinary people!
Others stood still, and were beaten up by the cavalry, with heavy casualties. Bao Zhong deviated from his original position, and as a result, the entire army was sound and the troops were intact...
Others chased the cavalry and fought fiercely, and then were counterattacked by the cavalry. They were suddenly crying and howling, and there were heavy casualties. Bao Zhong walked slowly, which seemed to be pissed to death at first, but Bao Zhong finally stepped forward, took the lead in stabilizing his position and rescued friendly forces...
Other people made rapid progress, seemingly glorious, and were then bombarded by artillery and could not even find the corpse. However, Bao Zhong came down several times in succession, almost every time he went into battle, but nothing happened...
Others only know how to attack when attacking, and when retreating, they only care about their own retreat. In the attack, Bao Zhong not only paid attention to the location of friendly troops, but also covered friendly troops when retreating, walking at the end...
Tell me, how rare is such a general who is in a moderate and steady manner, especially in such a situation in this situation?!
So when Cao Hong thought that the Cavalry Army was likely to attack at night, he almost immediately thought of Bao Zhong.
Because only such a "steady" veteran can bear the heavy responsibility of cheating and luring the cavalry army into the throne!
Other troops can either only rush or escape. No one like Bao Zhong, who can control the second-rate soldiers in such a perfect and orderly manner!
That's right, it's "perfect" and "order"!
And the key point is that Bao Zhong's troops suffered the least losses in previous operations...
Oh, siege is the exception.
It is normal for siege to fight, killing one thousand enemies and destroying eight hundred of them. Therefore, Bao Zhong suffered a lot of losses when he siege the city before, which does not mean that his ability is insufficient. Instead, after accepting those stragglers, he can quickly integrate these stragglers into a team with moderate advance and retreat. This is the real ability!
In such an unfavorable situation, such a capable person appeared under his command. Of course, Cao Hong had to add a plus to Bao Zhong.
And others will be convinced.
Otherwise, wouldn’t it be appropriate to find a general who had just violated military rules and was seriously warned by the army and would take on such a heavy burden in a blink of an eye?
If it weren't for the inconvenience of legs and feet, Cao Hong would have gotten off the horse and patted Bao Zhong on the shoulder a few times, and then expressed his optimism about Bao Zhong and hoped that Bao Zhong could continue to do his best for the commission... Oh, for the lord and for the great man, he would do everything...
What can Bao Zhong say?
Of course, I can only smile on my face and feel irritated.
Bao Zhong was so overwhelmed by such a "heavy burden".
I never knew that coming out of that shadow corner, "What did General Cao say?"
『General Cao asked us to go to the frontier of the camp...』 Bao Zhong always saw him, as if he had seen a savior.『It is said that in midnight tonight, the cavalry army will come to attack at night...I want us to pretend to be in a panic and lead the cavalry army deep into the camp, so as to destroy it... What should you do? What should I do?!"
But he never answered immediately, but sniffed, "General, have you smelled something?"
"What?" Bao Zhong had not recovered from the previous shock.
"There is a smell of blood." He always said softly, "I see General Cao has never dismounted... How is his expression and behavior?"
Bao Zhong was stunned, and his face changed, "You mean..."
『Well, Cao Zilian is probably really injured, but it is not too serious...』 He always frowned and said, "It's just that there is something that I can't figure out..."
"What?" Bao Zhong did not realize that after these days, he gradually lost his ability to think. "What's the matter?"
『Reasonably…』 He always glanced at the high platform in the camp, 『You said Cao Zilian was injured, so should Prime Minister Cao come out to beat the drum and gather the generals to calm the morale of the soldiers? But only Cao Zilian was injured in patrol the camp... It's interesting, haha... and he also lured the cavalry army into the interior and went straight under the high platform...』
Upon hearing this, Bao Zhong also turned his head to stare at the platform, "You mean..."
"I mean, didn't you ask me when... it should be the time now..." He always said with a smile, "This is really a good time... Is it going to be fake? What if it accidentally makes it true?"
Bao Zhonghan rolled down like raindrops. Although he had more or less realized that this moment would come in his heart, he was still nervous and panicked when facing such a choice.
The night is dark, with stars shining above your head, and the world is quiet. In this environment without pollution from later generations, no matter when you look up, you can see the brilliant Milky Way, like a large piece of treasures falling on the black and blue velvet cloth. If you look carefully, you can still vaguely see the nebula lights between these stars.
『General Bao! Tonight is the time to make a decision!』 His eyes have always shined with unspeakable light, 『If this matter is accomplished, it will be a great achievement!』
