This warrior is so fierce

Chapter 341 North Road
Xiguan, General's Mansion.

Cao Su's heart trembled when he was detained.

Although the other party's tone was gentle, there was something unusual in his eyes.

His state of mind is very tangled now.

Afraid that the other party will not come, but also afraid that the other party will come.

Anyway, he is also a second-rank official of the imperial court, a figure of the rank of a prince, and his quality is not so low in front of military and state affairs, right?

What Cao Su was more afraid of were the two high-ranking masters behind Feng Yuchan.

With these two guards, it would be very difficult for Cao Su to threaten him.

"Cao Zhaowu, please sit down."

Feng Yuchan said warmly, everyone in the hall has left.

Including the original Xiguan guard, he no longer listened to other arrangements other than the formal military meeting, and left the hall.

Only Cao Su, Feng Yuchan, and those two high-ranking masters remained here.

Cao Su did not refuse, accepted the other party's invitation and sat on the stool.

"Today the Qiang people are in rebellion, and the people of Xizhou have cholera. The Western Expedition is a matter of national destiny"

Feng Yuchan expressed his attitude, elevating this matter to military and state affairs, in order to prove that he has no selfish intentions.

Cao Su knew that this was a normal process, and it was always like this when arranging various matters for the Western Expedition.

Feng Yuchan asked with a smile: "Cao Su, do you know why I left you here?"

Seeing that Cao Su remained silent, Feng Yuchan took the initiative to speak up to break the deadlock.

Now Cao Su had no choice but to speak, he shook his head: "This subordinate does not know."

Feng Yuchan stood up and walked to Cao Su's side.

As soon as he moved, the two high-ranking masters behind him also moved, always following behind Feng Yuchan in step.

Cao Su glanced over, and the two looked at Cao Su vigilantly, not daring to be careless.

Feng Yuchan sighed: "Our army is not strong enough for this western expedition."

"There are many Qiang people on horseback, and Xizhou is all barren desert land. The city is not high, the water is not deep, and there is almost no danger to defend."

"The cavalry can be unimpeded in Xizhou, especially in Anzhou and Liangzhou, which are natural racecourses. One hundred thousand cavalry marching south, the lethality is not trivial."

"Now there is news that the fastest enemy army of thousands has approached the border of Liangzhou."

"The news from Anzhou was a few days ago. I don't know how the current Anzhou has been harmed."

What's the use of telling me about the lack of military strength?

Insufficient military strength, shouldn't you go to the emperor to ask for soldiers and food?
Cao Su was even more puzzled, what did Feng Yuchan mean by telling Cao Su such news.

Aren't you afraid that Cao Su's news will shake the morale of the army?

"This time, our imperial army only sent [-] troops to Xizhou, and infantry accounted for most of them, while the enemy troops were all cavalry. They were unimpeded in Xizhou, coming and going like the wind."

"What worries me is not that I cannot fight the main force of the enemy army, but that if the enemy army detours around our army, it will be difficult to complete their efforts in one battle."

Feng Yuchan confessed to Cao Su.

This surprised Cao Su even more. Can he listen to such words?

He looked at Feng Yuchan, not understanding what the other party wanted to arrange for him.

But Feng Yuchan continued on his own: "Therefore, if you want to defeat the cavalry, you must find the opponent's main force."

"Our army is not afraid of field battles. What we are afraid of is that the opponent keeps going around in circles with us and cannot catch up with the opponent."

Cao Su looked at Feng Yuchan silently, and said in a deep voice, "The general wants me to find the main force of the enemy army?"

"No, you misunderstood, not this matter."

Feng Yuchan said lightly.

Cao Su: .
What do you mean by talking for a long time?
Feng Yuchan looked directly at Cao Su: "I want you to do something else."

"As for the main force of the enemy army, it's not something you should look for, but once you lead the army out, you should report the information to me in time."

Feng Yuchan took out the military order and handed it to Cao Su.

Cao Su hasn't picked it up yet, so he doesn't know what Feng Yuchan wants him to do.

"I want you to find the stables of the Long family in Anzhou and the Ma family in Liangzhou. Among them, the Long family may have been attacked by the Qiang people. You may not be able to find all the horses in the horse farms, but you must go to the Ma family first. , Before the Qiang people arrive, protect the Ma family and get enough horses."

To snatch the horse?

Cao Su realized that Feng Yuchan had arranged for him to do logistics.

Under normal circumstances, the logistics are definitely not as good as those on the front line, but in this battle of Xizhou, the logistics are also very important.

Only relying on the coordinated operations of the imperial army and horse infantry, if they encounter the main force of the enemy army in the wilderness, they may not be able to please them.

But once they got the horses, with the tough style of the people of Xizhou, they could pull up enough soldiers in an instant.

"You are a young general in the army. You have made great contributions in leading the army to suppress the rebellion, and you also hold an important position in the Guard Division. You are quite smart. I can rest assured that I will leave this matter to you."

"How, would you like to go?"

Feng Yuchan said two good words to comfort Cao Su.

Cao Su originally thought that he could break away from the army and fight alone.

The arrangement of this matter was exactly what he wanted, and he immediately reached out to accept the military order.

Clap your hands together.

"The last general takes orders!"

Feng Yuchan smiled.

There seems to be a very peaceful superior-subordinate relationship between the two of them, without too many personal grievances.

Feng Yuchan's arrangement, Cao Su also can't see anything targeted.

It's nothing more than breaking away from Pingxi's main line.

But Cao Su had already accepted the line of the hidden guard to investigate the Yaoguo matter.

Best to split up.

Seeing that Cao Su had taken the order, Feng Yuchan said a few more kind words.

Then Cao Su took the initiative to resign and left the general's mansion.

As soon as he left the general's mansion, Cao Su immediately reorganized his army.

He had already arranged it before, and the army under his command was assembled in an instant, which was a little faster than the speed and rhythm of the [-] vanguard troops.

The next day, Feng Yuchan held an expedition flag ceremony in Xiguan.

The Imperial Army troops under his command arrived one after another, gathered 1 horses, and handed them over to his generals to be the vanguard.

The Xiguan City Gate Order had already cleared the caravans and civilians at the gate of the city.

The vanguard army of more than ten thousand walked out of Xiguan amidst the sound of horns.

The people outside Xiguan waiting to enter the pass were very surprised when they saw this vanguard army.

But don't be surprised, the court will definitely take action when the Qiang people make trouble.

Even this time, the reaction was faster than expected.

"After the Wanping Rebellion, the imperial court strengthened the imperial guards to protect the capital."

"The Forbidden Army is stationed all year round. Once there is any chaos in the area, the Forbidden Army can be mobilized immediately to attack all parties."

"Although the Qiang people are all cavalry, the quality of the overall combatants is not high, and the proportion of warriors with vitality and blood is at most [-]%. Compared with the Forbidden Army, which is close to [-]% of the vitality and blood, the individual quality is not strong."

On the city tower, the generals of Xiguan watched the imperial army leave the pass.

The Forbidden Army that went out to fight this time is all the elite among the elite. The number of blood warriors in the army has reached more than [-]%, and there are countless strength warriors. Moreover, each battalion is equipped with ascetics.

Cao Su's army left the pass in a low-key manner after the vanguard army left the pass.

No sooner had he walked five miles from the customs than there was a "whoosh" sound from behind.

Then Jian Guang came from Xiguan and arrived at Cao Su's army.

"Cao Zhaowu, stay safe and sound!"

A cultivator with a sword on his back came out of the light. Cao Su saw that it was Qing Xiao, an old acquaintance.

"Daoist Qingxiao."

Cao Su smiled slightly, just now he was still guessing who the monks with the team would be.

If it's an acquaintance, that's the best. Qing Xiao has worked with him for many days and has a certain tacit understanding.

"Cao Zhaowu is polite!"

A look of surprise appeared on Qing Xiao's face.

When I first met Cao Su, Cao Su had just broken through the barrier of internal energy. Now Cao Su's internal energy is thicker and his aura is even more powerful.

"I didn't expect Daoist Qingxiao to help the army. This time, Xizhou has stabilized."

Cao Su laughed, and ordered the soldiers in the rear to bring a good war horse and give it to Qing Xiao as a mount.

Qing Xiao didn't refuse either. Usually, their ascetics don't rely on their swords to fly and travel. When it's time to sit on a mount, they still have to sit down.

The two walked hand in hand, with [-] elite soldiers behind them, their evil aura was soaring.

The official roads outside Xiguan are obviously more dilapidated, but the terrain is relatively easy to walk. The road after leaving the Xishan Mountains is basically a flat wasteland road.

Cao Su led the army and followed the vanguard.

They set off two hours later than the vanguard.

Walked a long way to the west, then started north and took another road.

With few soldiers under his command, he marched very fast. He went north along the official road, crossed the Luoshui River, and after walking for three days, he arrived at the seat of Yongzhou Prefecture.

After the Yongzhou government replenished the supplies, Cao Jun continued to go north.

After reaching the northern part of Yongzhou, they had reached the edge of the desert, and then went west to Liangzhou.

At this time, the war in Liangzhou was mainly concentrated in the west, and there was no war in the east of Liangzhou.

It's just that there are many refugees running along the way.

When they saw Cao Jun walking in military uniform, they avoided them from a distance.

He showed a look of fear and fear, worried that Cao Jun would cut off his head along the way, pretending to be a military meritorious service.
