The Hussars traveled under the stars and at night. After setting off from Youzhou, they first went to the junction of Jizhou and Bingzhou, then went south along the Taihang Mountains, choosing places that were inaccessible.
After leaving the territory of Jizhou, go to the border area of Sizhou and take a circuitous route to the southwest.
It was winter at this time, and the Yellow River was dry and frozen. Bai Xiaowen led his army to cross the Yellow River at night, bypassed Xingyang, and arrived in Yangzhai, the northwest gateway of Yingchuan County, in only two days.
Li Shuyi came to join us with the latest information about Guandu. At this point, the five members of the White Phoenix team have gathered together!
"Tell me, is there anything new happening in Guandu?" Bai Xiaowen said.
Li Shuyi replied: "Yes...Xu You was scolded by Yuan Shao, saying that he did not take good care of his nephew."
Bai Xiaowen narrowed his eyes and said: "It seems that Xu You has surrendered to Cao Cao in the past few days. The plot of the three kingdoms in the spiritual world coincides with the events of the novel."
In the novel, Xu You proposed a plan to Yuan Shao to attack Xu Du, but Yuan Shao was initially hesitant.
Suddenly, the counselor Shen Pei from Yecheng in Jizhou sent someone to report that Xu You's nephew had been involved in corruption and illegal acts in Yecheng and had been captured by him.
Yuan Shao was furious and cursed Xu You, without saving his face at all. Xu You's plan naturally went nowhere.
Xu You retreated in shame and anger, and went to Cao Cao at night, offering a plan to burn the Wuchao.
Now it seems that in the Three Kingdoms of the Spirit Realm, at least the first half of Xu You Ben's Ye Ben is no different from a novel.
This is not to say that Xu You is more clever than Guo Jia, Xi Zhicai, Cheng Yu and other Cao army counselors, but Xu You comes from Yuan Shao's camp and knows Yuan Shao's true and false. With such an intelligence foundation, planning and planning must of course be comprehensive.
Take advantage.
This is the scary thing about insiders.
Of course, Xu You cannot be entirely blamed for this.
Speaking of which, the judge was really thoughtless. There was a stalemate on the front line, and he didn't want to stabilize the situation. Instead, he started making noises, which only added chaos to the front line.
Although Shen Pei is loyal and upright, he is strong-willed and lacks strategy. When paired with the lord Yuan Shao, his shortcomings are magnified.
Bai Xiaowen put aside his useless thoughts and said: "The situation in Guandu may change in a few days. Don't worry about them and implement our plan. In front is Yingchuan, and within three hundred miles is Xudu!"
"We didn't encounter any enemy troops along the way, so that's half the battle," Qiao Rui said.
Bai Xiaowen nodded and said: "Next, let's go east and enter the jurisdiction of Yingchuan County. This is Cao Cao's most important place. Don't take any chances and implement two tactical objectives.
"First, the cavalry marches quickly, don't get entangled with the defenders in the city along the way, go around the city and attack Xudu directly!
"Second, if you encounter a dangerous pass that cannot be bypassed, you must fight quickly! After breaking the pass, no prisoners will be left."
In the end, Bai Xiaowen said the words "take no prisoners" very solemnly.
All four teammates nodded with solemn expressions.
Running thousands of miles, 800 cavalry went deep into the enemy's country. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as "everywhere is the enemy." At this time, we must not be pedantic and show mercy, which will lead to the enemy countries exchanging information and gathering large armies for encirclement and suppression.
It should be noted that the biggest advantage of Youzhou's Eight Hundred Wings Cavalry at this time is concealment, followed by suddenness!
It's like a sharp knife piercing Cao Jun's heart. If Cao Jun wakes up, the danger will be greatly increased.
Moreover, the longer it takes, the more easily the defenders of Yuzhou cities can encircle him, and the more disadvantageous it will be to Bai Xiaowen.
The Hussars carried out Bai Xiaowen's tactical goal, abandoned Yangzhai City, passed through the mountainous areas between Xinzheng and Changge, and accelerated all the way east. Fortunately, the population in the Three Kingdoms era was sparse, unlike the dense population in China during the AD era.
You can go around as many rural villages as you encounter along the way.
When encountering woodcutter, hunter, etc. by chance, Bai Xiaowen's mental scanning can detect the other party in advance, and directly control and kill the other party before they can escape, truly carrying out the order of taking no prisoners.
After passing Changshe, the winged cavalry finally arrived in front of Yanling Pass.
This is a dangerous pass with continuous mountains on both sides and steep peaks. I don’t know how many miles it is. It is the gateway to Xudu.
Bai Xiaowen checked it carefully with a geographical map of mountains and rivers. There were trails on both sides of Yanling Pass, but they were extremely dangerous and steep and could not accommodate the horses of the Husbandry Cavalry, so they had to give up.
Yanling Pass has a dangerous terrain and cannot be circumvented. Entering from inside the pass is the most time-saving and labor-saving way, even if it means a fight.
"It's best to take out the Cao Jun flag prepared in advance so that the enemy general can take the initiative to open the door." Bai Xiaowen said.
The wing cavalry raised a banner with the word "Xiahou" and shouted for the switch.
After closing the door, a general emerged and shouted loudly: "Who are you closing?"
Bai Xiaowen responded: "I am the son of the prefect of Yingchuan, and so is Xiahou Mao! I am going to Xudu on my father's orders! You will wait for the quick switch to let me go, don't miss the time!"
Xia Houyuan, the governor of Yingchuan, was well-known in the Cao army camp.
Cao Cao's original surname was Xiahou, but he later adopted the eunuch Cao Teng as his son and changed his surname to Cao. Therefore, there were particularly many generals from the Xiahou line in the army.
Xia Houyuan himself and Cao Cao were cousins. It is said that when Cao Cao was imprisoned for breaking the law, Xia Houyuan took his place, so his relationship with Cao Cao became even closer. Later, Xia Houyuan took Cao Cao's sister-in-law as his wife, and he and Cao Cao
Now that he has become a brother-in-law, he is absolutely speechless.
Xiahou Yuan's son, Xiahou Mao, inherited his father's protection. In the post-Three Kingdoms era, he was considered to have a noble status, but his reputation is not obvious now.
It took a lot of thought for Bai Xiaowen to pick this person's flag and pretend to open and close the door. As long as he closed the door because the guard was afraid of Xia Houmao's second-generation background, and opened the door to let the winged cavalry pass, it would be a huge gain.
Of course, this requires the guard to be mediocre and incompetent, and to cheat the door in order to be successful.
The guard who closed the door shouted: "The last general is guarding the key place. No matter who it is, you must verify your identity before you can open or close it! Mr. Xiahou, please also show the official document of the Yingchuan Prefect's defense."
"It's an urgent trip. My father just sent me a verbal message, and there is no official document."
The guard looked suspicious: "No one will be allowed to go without official documents. I will forgive you for one or two, young master."
Bai Xiaowen pretended to be angry and said: "Who are you, dare to stop me? Is it harmful to bully my sword?"
Bai Xiaowen used this line before the Yecheng gatekeeper, and it was quite useful.
However, the guard general showed no fear on his face and said loudly: "The last general Deng Tong. Xun Lingjun has already given strict orders, please don't try to embarrass the last general."
Bai Xiaowen shook his head helplessly: "I drove all night and just got here. If you don't open and close the door, are you asking me to go back like this?"
At this time, Bai Xiaowen had already decided to attack by force and secretly gave the order in the team channel.
Taking advantage of the darkness, Li Shuyi quietly climbed up the mountain road from the side.
The guard general Deng Tong didn't know this, so he clasped his fists and said, "My lord, please forgive me. Please go back the same way and ask for the official document from the Yingchuan Prefect. The general will be sure to turn it on and off in the end."
Bai Xiaowen suddenly snorted, opened his palm slightly, and fired a yellow talisman, as fast as a meteor, flying towards Deng Tong!
