This warrior is so fierce

Chapter 537
Cao Su was a little surprised that there were still people who could detect his existence at a height of a thousand meters.

Although he didn't have any aura to restrain himself, his ability to sense should not be underestimated.

In Jincheng, Weng Xiao and Li Xingxi flew up one after another.

In addition, there were two streamers of high-level strength, which sprang out from the city and flew into the sky together.

In the sky, Cao Su did not dodge or dodge, but with a move in his heart, he took out a bronze mask to cover his appearance.

When Weng Xiao, Li Xingxi, and two of their top-ranked strength experts gathered in front of Cao Su, what they saw was a black-haired man in a green robe, with a bronze mask on his face, his temperament was cold, and his breath was erratic. indefinite.

"Who is Your Excellency?"

Li Xingxi, as a great bandit across the two states, was the first time he saw someone touch the top of his head silently.

And he took a rough look at Cao Su, only felt that Cao Su had a strong aura, but there was a layer of mist on his face that made it hard to see the depth.

It was an eventful time right now, and the army under his command was about to use troops against the imperial court, and he had to be careful in every move, so he immediately became more considerate.

Under his signal, the other two high-level generals under his command fell to different positions, faintly intending to surround Cao Su.

As for Li Xingxi's military adviser, Weng Xiao, a middle-aged scribe who was as gloomy as water, had a very obvious mana fluctuation, which was obviously different from the several warriors present.

"Is your Excellency an enemy or a friend?"

Weng Xiao spoke, staring at Cao Su with gloomy eyes like poisonous snakes.

Cao Su wore a bronze mask, and he didn't panic at all. He was surrounded by several people and didn't express his opinion. He just saw that this person turned out to be a monk in the late stage of alchemy, and he was willing to be with the bandits, so he couldn't help feeling a bit puzzled.

"What if you are an enemy, or what if you are a friend?"

Cao Su snorted coldly, and the cold and icy breath spread towards the surroundings. Li Xingxi did not move, but the other two generals were full of evil spirits. Hearing this, he was furious, and one of the generals shouted loudly: "It's the enemy's return!" Needless to say, of course you don’t have to leave, just stay here today! I’ll wait for four of you to beat one of you.”

The battlefield is not like the rivers and lakes. It is the bounden duty of a battlefield general to fight more and scare the enemy.

Li Xingxi stopped the furious generals, guessing in his mind the origin of the bronze masked man.

Judging from the aura and speech of the bronze masked man, he should not be a weak hand, let alone an unknown person. So in Youzhou, Liaozhou and other places, what masters like to wear this bronze mask?

"Oh it's you!"

A flash of inspiration flashed in Li Xingxi's mind, and he remembered a piece of information from a few months ago.

A mysterious bronze-masked man killed Yun Zhengbai and the others, causing a great commotion in Tongfu City. At that time, Yun Zhengxin, the leader of the Youbei League, who had always been steady, was furious.

Cao Su was stunned, this person actually recognized me?

He has already put on a mask, and he can change a bit of his temperament, so that he can be recognized by Li Xingxi?

It must be the first time the two have met, right?

"Yes, it's me."

Cao Su sneered, to see what Li Xingxi wanted.

Li Xingxi suddenly felt a little troublesome. This bronze masked man seemed to have some problems with Youbeimeng, but he had nothing to do with Li Xingxi. Purpose
"Your Excellency is very skilled in martial arts. I don't know what advice you can give me when you come to Jincheng?"

Li Xingxi was not sure about Cao Su's attitude. Although he subconsciously felt that Cao Su was not a good person, his face finally eased a little, and he continued to press Cao Su's purpose for coming.

Cao Su did not answer Li Xingxi, but looked at the middle-aged scribe Weng Xiao, and said with great interest, "You discovered me?"

Weng Xiao also directly admitted: "That's right, I have set up dragon sound formations inside and outside Jincheng, anyone who steps into my formation, I will get a sense."

Weng Xiao also had nothing to hide. He was not ashamed as a monk in the late stage of alchemy, and he didn't have the slightest fear in front of a high-level power like Cao Su.

Cao Su quickly searched for information about the Longyin Formation in his mind, feeling that he had never heard of this term.

He looked as usual, and praised lightly: "Good formation."

Weng Xiao's face was not without complacency. The Longyin Formation is one of the formations he is best at. Not to mention a master of strength like Cao Su with a huge aura, even ordinary people stepping into the formation, he will be able to make a difference. Induction, any flesh and blood creature can't hide under his formation, it can be regarded as one of his strongest methods.

"If your Excellency is interested, why not follow us into the city to watch the formation."

Weng Xiao suddenly opened his mouth to invite. This was a very straightforward temptation. If the man in the bronze mask had ghosts in his heart, he would naturally not follow them.

Sure enough, the next moment Cao Su directly rejected Weng Xiao.

"You generals are full of murderous intent, and you look like you want to eat this old man alive. Although this old man is not young, he still wants to live longer." Cao Su pretended to be old, and between his speeches, his eyes swept over the three present warrior.

The two generals were only at the third rank of the strength realm, and they floated in the air for a short time with lightness kung fu.

But Li Xingxi is the second rank of strength realm. It is said that Li Xingxi was just an ordinary farmer's disciple in the past. In the past few years, he has made rapid progress in martial arts, especially after the incident, he has become more diligent and brave. Cao Su saw that he really had some skills.

Li Xingxi sneered, and was about to speak again, but Weng Xiao preempted him.

Weng Xiao said: "Since your Excellency doesn't want to show your true colors to others, then please go ahead."

This gloomy middle-aged scribe directly issued an order to expel the guests, which puzzled Li Xingxi and the others, but they did not refute the middle-aged scribe's decision.

Cao Su glanced at the middle-aged scribe, smiled lightly, and then turned into a stream of light and flew towards the north.

In an instant, it had disappeared into the sky.

After Cao Su left, Li Xingxi asked Weng Xiao in puzzlement, "Mr. Weng, why did you let this man go?"

Weng Xiao shook his head and said, "How is this man's martial arts?"

Li Xingxi was stunned, and then said in a deep voice: "I'm afraid it's not low, at least it's at the second rank of Strength Realm."

Weng Xiao asked again: "Then if you fight him, are you sure you will win?"

"Neither."

Li Xingxi is an honest person, and he still hasn't figured out Cao Su's combat strength in the short time of contact just now. If he fought rashly, he might not be able to defeat this person one-on-one.

But he wasn't ready for one-on-one. There were three warriors in the power realm here, and he was supported by Weng Xiao's mana.

Three warriors plus one alchemy cultivator, with this combat power, even a first-rank warrior can fight a dozen.

There are only so many first-rank martial arts in the world, and Li Xingxi did not believe that anyone he met at random was a first-rank martial artist.

So he felt that if they did something just now, they would definitely win.

However, Weng Xiao seemed to have a different opinion and insisted on letting Cao Su go.

"Since there is no certainty of victory, once you make a move, you may be injured."

"Now is the critical moment of the upcoming battle with the Pingbei Army. If one of you is injured, how will the battle continue? If your condition declines and you meet Cao Su on the battlefield, what will you use to resist? "

Weng Xiao takes a long-term view of the problem and can clearly distinguish the main contradiction from the secondary contradiction.

Right now, Li Xingxi's first enemy is Cao Su, followed by these messy people.

Li Xingxi finally understood what Weng Xiao said.

His tone was grim, but he was a bit regretful: "This person is probably the murderer who killed Yun Zhengbai. It is said that this person has great martial arts skills, but he has conflicts with the Youbei League. If he can take this person's head, the Youbei League Here, who would dare to oppose Duke Luo?"

Li Xingxi wanted to use this head to continue laying capital for Luo Jian.

In the Youbei League, although Luo Jian was the deputy leader, his own strength was mediocre, and he was able to become the deputy leader purely because of Luo Jian's important status as the "Lord of Youzhou Mansion".

Such an identity is not convincing in Youbei League.

"You don't need to worry about Luo Jian's affairs, Luo Jian explained it to you a long time ago."

"The top priority is to be prepared. I suggest crossing the river directly. You don't have to wait for the snowy weather to freeze the river. After crossing the Mojiang River and taking Dongping City, Cao Su will definitely take action, but it is too late. Dongping City was captured. After you take it down, you can advance, attack, retreat, or defend, and remain invincible."

The sudden visit of the bronze masked man accelerated the rhythm of the plan in their hearts.

Weng Xiao helped Li Xingxi make a decision, but Li Xingxi wasn't annoyed at all.

Instead, he nodded: "Okay, just do as Weng Gong said!"
-
Cao Su turned back from the air and arrived at Youzhou Prefecture within half a day.

In Youzhou Mansion, because Cao Su has not yet arrived, preparations for increasing troops and deploying troops have not yet begun.

Youzhou Mansion is still a quiet and peaceful scene, and has not been affected by the arrival of the war.

After Cao Su arrived at Youzhou Mansion, he immediately summoned his generals and advisers.

Among them, Li Li was still farming in Tuxian Mountain and did not arrive in the city in time.

And Zhang Ke, Luo Yi, Zhong Jin, Hong Ding, Ma Chao and others came to the City Lord's Mansion one after another.

People are seated in order of rank.

"General, a few days ago, our army was in the Dongping City area to investigate the change of Li Xingxi's headquarters, and several spies fought against each other."

Zhang Ke reported the situation of the test to Cao Su.

A few days ago, the scouts of the Pingbei Army discovered Li Jun's movements in the Mojiang area, and then found Li Jun's scouts outside Dongping City.

"The Mojiang River has already started to freeze. Li Xingxi may wait for the Mojiang River to freeze, and then directly cross the Mojiang River and attack Dongping City."

"Dongping City is the main road of Youdong. Once Dongping City is under the control of Li Xingxi, then when Li Xingxi arrives in Youzhou Mansion, it will be a flat river. We have no danger to defend."

In the living room of the City Lord's Mansion, on the huge sand table map, Zhang Ke directly pointed out the location of the Dongping City area.

Fingers drawn on it, and Dongping City is further east, not far after crossing the Mojiang River, and Jincheng is located.

Cao Su directly pointed out and pointed out Jincheng.

"Jincheng?"

Everyone was slightly taken aback.

Jincheng is one of the few big cities in Liaozhou. Because it is close to Youzhou, the people of Youzhou are familiar with Jincheng.

Jincheng is rich in peanuts, grapes, smoked chicken, etc., and is rich in materials.

Cao Su said lightly, "Li Xingxi is here."

what?
Everyone was stunned.

How did Cao Su know about Li Xingxi's movements when he just returned to Youzhou Mansion today?

"Li Xingxi has a monk at the alchemy stage under his command, and two top-rank masters in the strength realm. In addition, he has a total of three top-rank masters in the strength realm. Li Xingxi's army is indeed gearing up and may cross the Mojiang River at any time."

"Once he crosses the Mo River, Li Xingxi can reach Dongping City within half a day."

Cao Su said indifferently: "Who is guarding Dongping City in our army now?"

Zhang Ke hurriedly said: "It's Li Niu, the school lieutenant, who has 2000 elite soldiers under his command."

Li Niu?

Cao Su had some impressions. When performing martial arts in Yangjiashan before, this Li Niu seemed to be the first to appear on the stage, and he also defeated the Jianghu people of the same level.

A Liangzhou man holding a long halberd, he is not particularly talented in martial arts, but he is diligent and diligent. Along the way, he has become the mainstay of Cao Su's army.

"Li Niu is considered a hero, but with only 2000 people, I'm afraid they can't stop Li Xingxi."

After Zhang Ke finished talking about Li Niu's situation, the counselor Zhong Jin said bluntly: "General, you have to find a way to quickly rescue Dongping City, otherwise, once Li Xingxi takes Dongping City, it will be very disadvantageous to our army."

"I'm afraid Dongping City is not easy to defend. Now I suspect that Li Xingxi may not wait until Mojiang freezes over."

"And what our army is good at is not defending the city and fighting."

"This Dongping City, of course it's best if we can hold it, it doesn't matter if we can't."

Cao Su thought about it, and soon set his sights on the large Youzhou Plain.

From the Hengduan Mountains in the middle of Youzhou to the south, there is a large Youzhou Plain that is easy for cavalry to gallop.

There was no danger to defend on the plain, which exposed Youzhou Mansion directly to Li Xingxi's attack, but at the same time, the plain was also the best fighting method for Cao Su's army.

"Our army is short of food and grass, and we can wait until next year for a good harvest to form a large-scale and effective army. Li Xingxi claims to have a 20 army, but in fact, there are only 10 people who can really fight, and most of them are people who have just dropped their hoes. The peasants have not even broken through their vitality."

"In this battle against Li Xingxi, the soldiers should not be many but fine, and the soldiers should not be broad but brave."

Cao Su said a few words, and many generals listened thoughtfully.

Especially Hong Ding, who participated in the Cao Su Group meeting for the first time, had bright eyes.

He muttered to himself, "Soldiers are not many but fine, generals are not broad but brave."

There was a look of admiration on his face. No wonder Cao Su was only 20 years old and already a fourth-rank official in the imperial court. It is absolutely impossible to be better than Cao Su in the art of war.

Cao Su said: "So for this battle, I intend to lead [-] elite cavalry, Hong Ding."

He suddenly clicked on Hong Ding's name, Hong Ding was slightly taken aback, and immediately cupped his hands and said: "The end is here."

"In this battle, Li Xingxi also has high-ranking experts under his command. You will fight with me, would you like to be the vanguard officer under my account?"

Cao Su's eyes flashed. Although Hong Ding's troops were not elite enough, he and his sworn brothers were very powerful. He was seriously injured and has not yet recovered, but Duan Xuan is still in the fourth rank and can fight.

Hong Ding was named as the vanguard by Cao Su, his expression was serious, and then he clasped his fists and said: "The last general will die."

"Where is Ma Chao?"

Ma Chao, who had just broken through to the fourth rank of the power realm, came out after hearing the sound, with a black armor and silver robe, and a heroic appearance.

"The end is here."

"I order you to be the general of the Chinese army and command the cavalry of the Chinese army."

Cao Su started pointing one by one, and Zhang Ke and Luo Yi, two old people who had already broken through to the sixth rank of strength, were looking forward to it, but Cao Su didn't click their names when he clicked to the end.

This made the two of them a little anxious.

Zhang Ke said it directly and hurriedly: "My lord, where are Brother Luo and I?"

Cao Su glanced at the two of them and said with a smile, "Both of you, guard my Youzhou Mansion well."

The two were immediately very disappointed, and stood there in despair.

After everyone finished ordering, everything should be arranged.

Cao Su sent away all the soldiers and ordered to set off from Youzhou Mansion at five o'clock tomorrow, and [-] fine riders headed straight for Dongping City.

Zhang Ke and Luo Yi were left in the general's mansion by Cao Su.

Cao Su specially found someone to start a fire, and had dinner in the mansion.

At the level of Cao Su, the internal strength in the body is continuous, and has reached the Taoist "Bigu Realm", and it will not affect the state at all without eating for a few days.

But Cao Su still likes to eat very much, especially after he came to Youzhou, he hired someone to make a stove.

Water was put in the stove, and the meat was eaten as a simple hot pot.

"Come, come, sit down and eat."

Cao Su called Zhang Ke and Luo Yi to sit down.

Although the two looked disappointed, they were a little touched, and sat in a restrained manner opposite Cao Su, holding chopsticks in their hands, whether they were pinching or not pinching.

Hot white air rose from the pot, Cao Su picked up the meat and sent them to their bowls.

"You two, do you know why I don't let you two participate in this expedition?"

Zhang Ke is a straightforward guy, and he blurted out: "Do you think our martial arts level is too low, and we are only at the sixth rank now, and we are afraid that we will lag behind?"

This time, Cao Su's soldiers were elite, and the generals were all top-notch. Hong Ding, Ma Chao, Duan Xuan, Cao Su's army's masters were all on the top.

So it's no wonder that Zhang Ke thinks so. After all, although Zhang Ke, Luo Yi, and Li Li have used the "Bodhi Pill" and started to make rapid progress, they are still some distance away from the fifth-rank and even fourth-rank realms.

Cao Su pointed at him with chopsticks and scolded with a smile: "You really don't understand at all."

Cao Su shook his head and said, "This Youzhou Prefecture is where I put my heart and soul into. If I don't trust you two, will I entrust the Nuoda city of Youzhou Prefecture to you two to guard?"

"Do you think that if the front line is fighting, the back line will be safe?"

Cao Su stood up and said to the two of them: "Li Xingxi's attack will inevitably cause turmoil in Youzhou Mansion. These families and sects that I suppressed before, which one is a fuel-efficient lamp?"

"I put the two of you here because you are the people I trust the most!"

"I don't want to tell you, I have already written to the imperial court to ask for high-ranking experts, but even if the imperial court sends a hundred top-ranking experts, can you have a higher status in my heart than you?"

After Cao Su said a few words, the two suddenly came to their senses.

Luo Yi immediately threw away the chopsticks in his hand, not even the meat, and knelt down in front of Cao Su.

The same is true for Zhang Ke. Although his reaction was a bit slower than Luo Yi's, he quickly knelt down in front of Cao Su and pleaded guilty: "General!"

Cao Su helped the two of them up and said solemnly, "Defend Youzhou Mansion for me!"

Luo Yi and Zhang Ke looked up, their eyes revealing incomparable firmness.

"I will not be expected by the general again."

"People are in the city!"
