Three Kingdoms.

Chapter 3368: This...that...

 Inside Cao Jun's camp, the firelight flickered.

 The night is heavy.

 My heart is heavy.

 In the firelight, Cao Hong's face looked a little pale.

 At the moment, what Cao Hong faces is not only physical pain, but also a series of problems.

They don't have enough food and supplies. Even if they want to get some money and food to stabilize people's hearts, it won't be enough.

 And even if you take it out now, it will be of no use.

 The queue for transporting grain and grass is already five days later than originally scheduled, and we don’t know when it will arrive.

 Cao Hong suddenly lost confidence in completing his mission.

 Pull and pull, you have to pull and pull, and you have to lose and win. Only by consuming the strength of the hussars as much as possible can the next step of the plan be implemented smoothly...

 But all these goals now seem to be becoming more and more distant and increasingly difficult to achieve.

what to do?

 What is Dahan Cao's Co., Ltd. doing now?

 Not to mention the shareholder turmoil within the management level, now even the middle and lower levels are beginning to be in chaos and are not on the same page as the top.

As for the employees who were originally obedient and hard-working, they no longer talk about blessings, and they even start to negotiate remuneration and conditions, which is simply the opposite of Tiangang!

 All the instructions and performance goals were broken down and issued, but they couldn't be completed.

This year’s half-year and full-year financial statements, are you still wondering where to start telling the story?

Can't these cows and horses be obedient and let the boss feel at ease as young models in the club?

 Is it easy for Cao's Company now? The economy is in a downturn, transactions are bleak, and the situation is precarious!

  There is simply no sympathy at all!

 Why can’t these bullies continue to empathize with capital? !

 Why can’t we just spend money honestly and have children?

 Cao Hong took a breath of cold air.

 It hurts.

 My flesh aches and my head hurts.

 He had to admit that this task was unprecedentedly difficult!

But thinking about it on the other hand, if it wasn't an arduous task, why would Cao Cao have to ask him to carry it out?

 Hong, Cao·Professional Duan Hou, lowered his head and looked at the wound on his calf, and couldn't help but think of Xu Chu's amazing knife before!

 The sword flashed and blood spattered!

Horses stampede and people panicked.

 Everything seems to be because of this knife, and it seems that it is not just this knife...

The guard whispered.

Cao Hong gritted his teeth and said, "Wear armor for someone!" Someone is going on a camp tour! 』

"General..." The guard hesitated, "Your injury..."

　　　『Go get armor! ” Cao Hong waved his hand, “These injuries are not a problem! 』

To say it doesn’t matter is of course a lie.

 Cao Hong cut the air with a single blow because he knew it was not good. Years of battlefield experience made him make some evasive actions almost instinctively. Otherwise, he would not have injured his calf now, but might have lost one of his legs!

Although Cao Hong's calf was protected by greaves, Xu Chu's sword was also exquisitely refined, so a hole was opened in Cao Hong's calf, and the bones were clearly visible.

Although it is bandaged now, blood is still slowly leaking out.

"General, you are not very mobile..." the guard whispered, "I'd better go patrolling the camp!" 』

 Cao Hong took a breath and said, "No, I have to go!" If you ride a horse and don’t move around, it should be fine! 』

Seeing Cao Hong's persistence, the guard said nothing more and helped Cao Hong to stand up, put on his armor, and then helped Cao Hong get on his horse.

Cao Hong was also stubborn, enduring the pain, gritting his teeth and saying nothing.

 If it is said to be "no hindrance", how is it possible that it really is "no hindrance"?

Not to mention a wound that is almost bone-deep, the pain is heartbreaking when you move. Even ordinary injuries can often cause a person's will to collapse.

Hmm, like a broken skin on my finger or something...

But now Cao Hong doesn't even dare to ask a doctor, so he can only ask the guards to bandage him.

Of course, as Cao Hong, there is naturally no shortage of high-quality gold-creating medicine around him.

His guards also have certain treatment methods for some superficial gold sores.

 But after all, it is a little different from a professional medical doctor.

It’s just that Cao Hong doesn’t dare to call the doctor now...

 Otherwise, I don’t know how the rumors would spread within the camp!

　　　　The Lord will patrol the camp! 』

　　『Xianza avoids! 』

Cao Hong's guard raised the flag and opened the way ahead.

 This is an abnormal camp tour under abnormal circumstances.

 Cao Hong was sitting on the horse, maintaining his majesty as much as possible, but every bump of the horse would bring him pain.

 But this physical pain cannot outweigh the sadness in my heart.

 This camp may not be able to hold on for a few more days...

 The night is getting darker.

 Inside the camp, the lights flickered.

At present, soldiers are resting in all the better positions within Cao Jun’s camp.

 The camp is within the camp, and the village wall is connected to the village wall.

 traps and traps, rejecting horses and antlers.

 Everything is the result of the hard work of Cao Cao and Cao Hong, especially Cao Hong.

 This is almost a huge masterpiece created by his own hands.

The long suspension bridge on the plateau is the best channel for launching surprise attacks and side attacks.

Under those **** and traps, there are also some hidden underground passages, which allow Cao's soldiers to appear unexpectedly in the rear of the hussars.

 Cao Hong once believed that even if a hussar general could capture such a camp, he would have to pay an extremely heavy price, but now, he suddenly felt a little weak...

 But this road is, after all, your own, and you have to walk it to the end even if you endure the pain!

Along the way, I don’t know how many eyes were watching Cao Hong and his party secretly or silently, either in the gaps in the tent, between the fences, or in the dark corners of the night.

Cao Hong rode his horse and walked slowly along the hillside and ravines. From time to time, he would nod to a certain commander or smile at a military academy he knew. When he saw a familiar soldier on duty, he would stop and say a few words. A few words of condolence.

 After Cao Hong walked around like this, some sounds disappeared.

 From this perspective, Cao Hong's persistence is indeed effective, but it is difficult to say how effective it is...

 The night is dark.

 Star Manman.

 The night has just begun, but the darkness seems to have lingered for a long time.

 Everything seems to be the same as before, and everything seems completely different.

 Halfway through, Cao Hong suddenly pulled his horse. "What's wrong? General? 』

The guards were a little nervous. They stood tightly around Cao Hong, looking around, as if enemies would jump out at any time in the darkness!

 ‘Well…’ Cao Hong suddenly smiled, with some relief and confidence, ‘Nothing! Nothing! Ha ha ha ha! Go, give... well, give an order to Bao Shuyi and ask him to meet me at the camp! 』

Cao Jun's camp is a large camp within a small camp, one after another.

 Let Bao Zhong come out of the camp, naturally it does not mean letting him leave the main camp, but asking Bao Zhong to come out of the small camp where he is stationed to meet...

 A moment later, Cao Hong met Bao Zhong at a bare half-stump of a tree.

  Bao Zhong did not wear a douchi, but only wore simple armor. He did not wear a **** and shoulder armor, let alone the belly armor, robe belly and other parts. Bao Zhonglue's somewhat disheveled hair was floating in the air, and he was waiting with two or three guards. When he saw Cao Hong coming, he bowed his hands respectfully.

 Because I don’t know why Cao Hong summoned him suddenly, and it was still at night. Bao Zhongxin was a little weak, and there was a thin layer of sweat on his back and forehead, which shimmered under the starlight and moonlight.

　　Bao Zhong is indeed a little guilty.

Cao Sheng returned from a great defeat, and it is said that he was slightly injured, which was more or less related to Bao Zhong.

Although according to "custom", Bao Zhong stood up "bravely" after Cao Sheng's defeat, cleaned up the final mess, led Cao's soldiers to retreat slowly, and did what a defeated general could do. "Best effort", but the problem is...

 What's wrong if it's discovered?

 What is fake is still fake, no matter how much you pretend, it is still fake.

Before he was not injured, Cao Hong would have felt that Bao Zhong looked like this and was somewhat of a thief. But now, for some unknown reason, Cao Hong's perception and attitude towards Bao Zhong have changed slightly. Maybe Cao Hong is also pretending?

So, although Cao Hong saw Bao Zhong sweating slightly on his forehead, he didn't think much about it and thought it was Bao Zhong who rushed out and left in a hurry...

And now most of Cao Hong's thoughts are thinking about one thing...

One thing that made Cao Hong a little excited, and even thought it was a great opportunity to turn defeat into victory!

　　　　Please come up, Shuyi. There is no need to be too polite in the army. 』

 Cao Hong waved his hand.

Bao Zhong responded.

 Cao Hong is sitting on horseback. It was not convenient for him to dismount, and he was a little embarrassed, so he pretended to be calm and calm. "Now it is only a slight defeat, but our army still has a lot to do." 』

 This is like saying that the economy will improve next year and the stock market is expected to be good.

　　　　Yes...the general said..."

 Bao Zhong responded.

Cao Hong ignored Bao Zhong's tone. He sat on the horse and turned his head to look north. "Shu Yi, tell me, will the Qiusi come to sneak attack at night?" 』

Hearing what Cao Hong said, Bao Zhong's heart suddenly jumped!

 What does Cao Hong mean?

Cao Hong didn't look at Bao Zhong, he was staring north.

 That's the direction of the Hussars' camp.

Cao Jun is a human being, and the Hussars are also human beings. After fighting for a day, they all need to rest...

But if the hussars ignored the fatigue of the soldiers and sent people to attack at night, would Cao Hong have a chance to deal with the hussars?

Cao Hong really had no intention of testing Bao Zhong at the moment.

 While he was patrolling the camp, looking at the excavated fortifications and defense systems, a question suddenly occurred to him...

Just as Cao Hong was worried that if the news of his injury spread, it would destabilize the morale of Cao's army in the camp, so did the Hussars also feel that his injury was a good opportunity for a sneak attack?

 This is Cao Jun’s camp!

 It was Cao Cao and Cao Hong who spent a lot of thought, effort, and countless manpower, material and financial resources to build a huge military camp!

Cao Hong naturally knows how troublesome it will be if he really attacks this camp bit by bit, so if he were a hussar, he would definitely not want to choose to attack this camp honestly!

So now, the news of his injury will inevitably be conveyed among the hussars, and how will the hussars react?

 Would you be conscientious enough to wait for him to recover from his injuries before fighting again?

 Obviously impossible!

 So, the result is obvious...

　　　　Night attack! 』

Cao Hong's voice was resolute, "Tonight!" The Hussars will definitely send people to attack at night! Please also ask Shuyi to help me! 』

 Bao Zhong was panicking in his heart, but pretended to be calm on the surface, patting his chest to express his determination...

The Hussars attacked at night, so why did Cao Hong come to me?

 Could it be that…

 Most of the time, when a slice of bread is dropped, the buttered side always points down.

 After a while, Cao Hong explained some matters, just said a few words of encouragement, drew another big cake and threw it down, and left with his guards.

Bao Zhong was as confused as if he had just been pushed against the tree stump by Cao Hong.

Why did Cao Hong come specifically to find Bao Zhong?

 That's because Cao Hong discovered that Bao Zhong turned out to be a very "stable, experienced and cautious" general!

 It’s rare!

In the previous battles, every time Bao Zhong made a position that was unexpected by Cao Hong, he finally achieved results that were beyond ordinary people!

 Others stood firm and were beaten randomly by the hussars and suffered heavy casualties. However, Bao Zhong deviated from his original position. As a result, the whole army was sound and the troops were intact...

Others chased the hussars, fought fiercely, and then the hussars charged back, and they suddenly cried like ghosts and howled, and suffered heavy casualties. Bao Zhong walked slowly, which at first glance would make people angry, but Bao Zhong stepped forward in the end. , take the lead in stabilizing the position and rescuing friendly forces...

Other people and pigs advanced suddenly, seemingly beautiful, and then were bombarded by artillery to pieces, and even the corpses could not be found. However, Bao Zhong came down several times in succession, almost going into battle again and again, but nothing happened...

Others only know how to attack when they attack, and when they retreat, they only care about their own retreat. However, Bao Zhong not only paid attention to the position of friendly troops during the attack, he even covered the friendly troops when retreating, walking at the back...

 Tell me, how rare is it to have such a measured, steady and mature general, especially in the current situation? !

So when Cao Hong thought that the Hussars were likely to attack at night, he almost immediately thought of Bao Zhong.

Because only such a "stable" veteran can bear the heavy responsibility of deceiving defeat and luring the hussars into a trap!

 Other troops either only know how to charge or how to escape. How can Bao Zhong control a group of second-rate, oh, maybe third-rate soldiers so "perfectly" and "orderly" like him?

 That's right, it's "perfect" and "orderly"!

And the key point is that Bao Zhong's tribe suffered the least losses in the previous battles...

 Oh, siege warfare is an exception.

It is normal for siege ants to kill a thousand enemies and lose eight hundred. Therefore, Bao Zhong suffered a lot of losses during the previous siege. This does not mean that he has insufficient ability. Instead, after accepting those stragglers later, Bao Zhong Being able to quickly integrate these scattered soldiers into a team with a measured advance and retreat is the real skill!

In such an unfavorable situation now, with such a capable person appearing under his command, Cao Hong will of course have to add an extra burden to Bao Zhong.

 And others will be convinced.

How about finding a general who had just violated military regulations and received a serious warning from the military to shoulder such a heavy responsibility in the blink of an eye? It would be obviously inappropriate!

If it weren't for the inconvenience of his legs and feet, Cao Hong would have dismounted, patted Bao Zhong on the shoulder hard several times, and then said that he was very optimistic about Bao Zhong and hoped that Bao Zhong could continue to serve for the commission... Oh, for the lord, for the big man, he would sacrifice everything...

What can Bao Zhong say?

Of course I can only smile with a smile on my face and feel numb in my heart.

 Bao Zhong was overwhelmed by such a "heavy burden".

I never came out of that shadow corner and asked, "What did General Cao say?" 』

"General Cao wants us to go to the front of the camp..." Bao Zhong saw Cheng, as if he had seen a savior, "He said that at midnight tonight, there will be a night attack by the hussars... He wants us to pretend to be panic and lure the hussars." The cavalry goes deep, so that they can be surrounded and destroyed... What do you think we should do? what to do? ! 』

He never answered immediately, but sniffed, "General, do you smell something?" 』

"What? ” Bao Zhong has not yet recovered from the previous shock.

　　　The smell of blood. ” Qiang said softly, “I see that General Cao has never dismounted... How is his demeanor and behavior? 』

Bao Zhong was stunned for a moment, then his expression changed, "You mean..."

"Well, Cao Zilian is probably really injured, but it's not too serious..." Changjiang frowned and said, "There's just one thing that I still can't quite figure out..."

"What? ” Bao Zhong didn’t realize that after what happened these days, he gradually lost his ability to think, “What’s the matter? 』

"Logically speaking..." Chang glanced at the high platform in the camp, "You said that Cao Zilian was injured. Logically speaking, shouldn't Prime Minister Cao come out to beat the drums and gather the generals to click the knot to appease the morale of the soldiers?" But it happened that only Cao Zilian patrolled the camp with injuries... It was interesting, haha... and he also had to lure the hussars in, directly under the high platform..."

Hearing this, Bao Zhong also turned to stare at the high platform, "You mean..."

"I mean, didn't you ask me when before... It should be the time now..." Chang Chang said with a smile, "This is really a good time... Do you want to make it fake? What if it accidentally becomes true?" 』

 Bao Zhong sweat rolled down like raindrops. Although he was more or less aware that this moment would eventually come, he still couldn't help but feel nervous and panicked when faced with such a choice.

 The night was dark, the stars were twinkling overhead, and the sky and the earth were silent. In this environment without future pollution, no matter when you look up, you can see the bright Milky Way, like a large piece of treasure scattered on the black and blue velvet. If you look carefully, you can still vaguely see the glare of the nebulae between the stars.

　　　　General Bao! Tonight is the time to decide! ” His eyes were shining with an unspeakable light, “If this happens, it will be a miracle! 』

"This..." Sweat rolled down Bao Zhong's forehead, "That... I want to think about it, I want to think about it..."
