Chapter 415: General Faqiu, Success Does Not Have to Be Mine

"You're saying that these shops may be channels through which Xinzuo transmits news to the outside world?"

Under Xun Yu's intentional reminder, Cao Cao suddenly realized that he was really dark under the lamp. These fine salts all came from Liu Bei. What about the people in these shops? Naturally, it has something to do with Liu Bei, and even if those soldiers, captains, etc. go in openly, there will be no problem. Even if they are caught, they can still say that they are here to buy salt. It can be said that they are almost perfect. The meeting point was made.

"The supply camp! It must be the supply camp. For ordinary soldiers to buy salt, there is no problem once or twice, but if they go there too often, they will definitely attract attention. Therefore, they must have an identity that can buy things for a long time, so as not to If you are suspected, Wen Ruo, go talk to Yuan Rang and focus on investigating the powerful captain in charge of purchasing fine salt in the baggage camp, the captain!"

Xun Yu couldn't help but nodded as he watched Cao Cao express his thoughts in succession.

"Prime Minister, I will inform General Yuan Rang immediately."

Xun Yu stood up, saluted Cao Cao, and then slowly exited the room, leaving Cao Cao alone in the room. After solving the problem that he had been thinking about, Cao Cao no longer continued to think, but sat in front of the case and continued to do what he had not done during the day. After completing the work, he, Liu Zhang and Xun Yu planned this plan for a long time, and finally got an ending in which all parties lost and only he and Liu Zhang benefited. He certainly could not give up this opportunity.

The current massive recruitment of troops regardless of the cost is to completely defeat Liu Bei in the near future. At that time, Sun Jian, who suffered huge losses due to repeated failures, would be even less likely to be his opponent. This is a magnificent blueprint. It has gradually emerged under Cao Cao's plan.

At the exit of the Western Region in Yizhou, Liuzhu Bodhisattva was leading an army of 10,000 people and eighteen golden Arhats to quickly pass through the pass and rush towards the Western Region. Liuzhu Bodhisattva wished that his legs would pinch the horse's belly together, and in his hands His whip kept hitting the horse, trying to make the horse run faster.

According to Cao Cao, nearly ten days ago, Liu Zhang led his hundreds of thousands of troops to retreat from Jingzhou Nanjun and marched towards the Western Regions. In ten days, not to mention the army, even the caravans had arrived. Now What Liuzhu Bodhisattva hopes is that the eight thousand warrior monks hidden in Landa Mountain can rely on the favorable terrain of Landa Mountain to stop Liu Zhang's army and hold on until he can return.

But Liuzhu Bodhisattva knew in his heart that even if he could hold on until he could go back, his 10,000 troops would be just a drop in the bucket for Mount Landa and would not change anything. Liuzhu Bodhisattva only wanted to save them. The king, even if she herself dies.

Behind the Six-Jead Bodhisattva, more than a hundred riders were following them from a distance, heading towards the Western Region. They were not in a hurry, and always kept a safe distance from the Six-Jead Bodhisattva, and were never discovered. In this way, we came to the holy mountain of the Western Region, Landa Mountain.

It's just that Mount Landa now doesn't look like a holy mountain at all. The entire mountain, from top to bottom, is covered with flames of war everywhere visible to the naked eye. The flames of war everywhere shocked Liuzhu Bodhisattva, and he led his troops towards the mountain. Speed ​​away.

The road up the mountain is steep and cannot accommodate several war horses marching together. Why was such an easy-to-defend but difficult-to-attack place completely defeated in such a short period of time? Even if there are hundreds of thousands of troops, only tens of thousands of people can climb Mount Landa at a time. Moreover, they have to face various assassinations during the climb. In this case, there is no way that Mount Landa cannot be defended. of.

At the top of Lando Mountain at this moment, there is no one hundred thousand troops. There are only 4,000 tiger and leopard cavalry, and 200 generals in the mountains. Only 4,200 people can kill on the top of Lando Mountain. In fact, they can't. Blame those monks because they encountered the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry who could overwhelm most armies in the Central Plains.

There is also Faqiu Zhonglang General, which is a special unit with the same combat power as Colonel Mojin. It also has special skills of exploring water sources and geomantic omen. If everyone can bring it out, they will be able to compete with Colonel You Nu. Those with two moves have the basic attributes of second-rate generals, plus the attribute bonuses of Cao Cao and his subordinates. These generals in the army, fighting these monks, are no different from chopping melons and vegetables.

When they were in the Central Plains before, the reason why these monks were able to fight against the ordinary soldiers under Gu Rubing's command was entirely because the basic attributes of the monks were higher than those of ordinary soldiers, and because they were employed by Cao Cao at that time. Soldiers have Cao Cao's characteristic bonuses.

Now, these monks have no characteristic bonuses, only some basic attributes. How can they be the opponents of Hubaoqi, let alone Faqiu Zhonglang? The total of Hubaoqi and Faqiu Zhonglang is only 4,200 The remaining people are much more convenient to move than an army of hundreds of thousands, not to mention that the opponent only has 8,000 monks.

As for the hundreds of thousands of troops led by Liu Zhang, they are currently recruiting young and middle-aged men from various countries in the Western Regions. It is said to be recruiting, but in fact it is no different from arresting them. Those who are willing to go with them will be given some gold, silver and food, and those who are not willing to go with them will be given some gold, silver and food. Yes, they took them away by force and left some life-saving food behind.

More than 30 countries, large and small, in the Western Regions have all been baptized by the Yizhou Army. They only want people and nothing else. Their purpose is to gather a group of troops for Cao Cao and Liu Zhang that can work at any time.

At the same time that Liu Zhang launched operations in the Western Regions, Cao Cao's internal investigation of the details also officially began. At this moment, in Cao Jun's transport camp, a powerful captain named Wang Zhao was carefully looking through an account book in his camp. With all the grain, fodder, and gold and silver mobilization in the baggage camp, it can be said bluntly that mastering this account book is equivalent to mastering all Cao Jun's mobilization, and knowing the details of Cao Jun's grain and fodder reserves.

Just when Wang Zhao was carefully checking some of the details, a man suddenly broke in from outside his tent, and the man hurried to Wang Zhao.

"Captain, what's wrong, I don't know why, but in the middle of the night, General Xiahou led his troops to surround our supply camp."

"General Xiahou? Which General Xiahou?"

Hearing these words, Wang Zhao's heart suddenly thumped. Xiahou, Cao, Xu Chu, and Dianwei all mean different things in Cao's army. Xiahou and Cao are all direct descendants of Cao Cao, or clan relatives, or They are cousins. Close relatives like cousins ​​are the people Cao Cao trusts the most, not to mention Xu Chu and Dian Wei, who are Cao Cao's confidants.

"It's General Xiahou Dun. Now he has surrounded the entire supply camp. He is only allowed in but not allowed out."

As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Zhao's whole body tensed up, as if he was very nervous. The soldiers who came in to report the news looked at Wang Zhao who was not quite right. When he was about to ask something, Wang Zhao looked at him. He waved his hand.

"Get out quickly and don't tell anyone that you were here!"

"Ah? Captain, why?"

The man didn't know what was going on, and sweat broke out on his forehead. Wang Zhao took a deep breath and cursed angrily.

"Get out! Who asked you to come? Get out?"

The sudden insult made the soldiers stand on the spot. With an angry roar of "Get out of here!", the soldiers quickly ran out of the tent. Only Wang Zhao was left sitting alone in the tent. Wang Zhao just stayed quietly for about a while. After more than ten breaths, he seemed to have made up his mind. He picked up the brush at hand and continued writing on the paper on the side where the ink had not yet dried. Then he folded it up and placed it in a grid under his desk.

After hiding it, Wang Zhao took a deep look at the place. He seemed to feel uneasy, so he took out the piece of paper again, then walked out of his tent, walked to the right for a while, came to the stable, and took the piece of paper. A piece of paper was placed under the saddle of a gray horse.

Then he quickly returned to his tent, closed the account books, put them aside, and then sat next to the desk, quietly waiting for everything to come next.

Soon, the curtain of his tent was lifted, and Xiahou Dun's lieutenant walked into the tent with a few soldiers. The lieutenant held a list in his hand and glanced at Wang Zhao quickly.

"Wang Zhao is from Yanzhou, right?"

Wang Zhao nodded, agreeing to the other party's call, and the deputy general nodded with satisfaction.

"We still need to trouble you to come with us. There are some things we need to cooperate with your investigation."

Wang Zhao had no objection to this. He stood up and walked to the deputy general. The deputy general seemed surprised by Wang Zhao's actions. He opened his eyes wide and watched Wang Zhao approach him step by step. Finally, he was surrounded by two soldiers. .

Soon, the four people were brought to the school ground. Xia Houchun was sitting on the school ground, waiting for the arrival of several people. All four people were sent to the school platform.

On the school platform, Xiahou Dun held a long and slender riding whip in his hand, which was used to tame fierce horses. Even the most unruly horses could not withstand a few whips under such a thin riding whip. Xiahou Dun swung it. He moved the riding crop in his hand and looked at the four people on the school platform with interest. A mocking smile appeared on his lips, and then he whipped the riding whip to the ground with a loud sound.

"Oh, do you think that with the help of your clothes and your frequent trips to the salt shop to deliver information, I won't doubt you? You are naive."

As Xiahou Dun said this, he stood up and stopped sitting. The thin riding crop in his hand was dragged by him as he moved forward slowly on the school platform, leaving a light mark.

"Now, I only give you one chance to speak. This time, you can only say three sentences. If you say it correctly, I will spare your life. Among the four of you, whoever speaks best will survive. ”

Xiahou Dun smiled openly and unbridled. He first sealed up the salt shop. Although all the three salt shop owners denied that they were Liu Bei's agents, their military backgrounds still betrayed them. Under severe torture, Xiahou Dun didn't get any information he wanted. In the end, Xiahou Dun found the name he wanted in the salt shop's account book.

After comparing the account books of the three salt shops, Xiahou Dun pulled out the names of these four people. Wang Zhao was one of them. Thinking of the salt shop owners he tortured, Xiahou Dun smiled even more happily. .

"You may not know that those three salt shop owners have real backbone. I used all kinds of punishments on them. Even one of them brought his family here with him. I took him and his family of four. Killed them all, killed his son and daughter in front of him and his wife, and then asked my brothers to play his wife to death in front of him, but even so, he didn't do it in the end Open your mouth and tell you, tsk tsk tsk, it’s really touching, hahaha.”

Xiahou Dun said, and swung a whip. A blood mark immediately appeared in front of Wang Zhao and another person, and soon stained their clothes. The blood began to drip down. Wang Zhao didn't say a word, but the other person knelt on the ground in pain, and then kept kowtowing to Xiahou Dun.

"General, General Xiahou, what are you talking about? I don't understand, General Xiahou! What did I do wrong?"

The man roared and kowtowed to Xiahou Dun, wanting to beg Xiahou Dun to let him go, but Xiahou Dun ignored his screams and just stretched out a finger.

"I said, you can only speak once, and you can only say three sentences in total. You said too much."

Xiahou Dun said, waving his hand, and the deputy general standing behind the man raised his knife and directly killed the powerful captain, and then Xiahou Dun turned his sight to the few people again.

"It's your turn. You still have a chance."

After waiting for a while, no one spoke. Xiahou Dun smiled.

"No one is talking, right? Well, you speak."

Pointing to the person on the far left, Xiahou Dun said.

"I remember you are from Bingzhou, no relatives or friends, so there is nothing to hold against you. But there is a young lady who is said to be familiar with you in Xudu City. How about I pull her over to play with my brothers?"

After hearing what Xiahou Dun said, the man roared.

"You dare!"

Xiahou Dun still ignored his roar and waved to the people beside him.

"This is the first sentence."

"I'll fucking kill you!"

"The second sentence."

As soon as the voice fell, a young and beautiful girl was pulled onto the school platform. Xiahou Dun looked at them with interest.

"No wonder you are so daunted by such a difficult mission, but you still fall in love with a woman from Xudu. She is indeed quite pretty. Brothers, take her down and have some fun. We'll let her go when she dies."

"Xiahou Dun, fuck your grandma!"

The man rushed out and swung his fist at Xiahou Dun. Xiahou Dun swung out his horsewhip, tied the man's neck, and strangled him to death. Seeing the man die, the woman who was struggling fiercely stopped struggling and fell headfirst onto the knife of a soldier beside her and committed suicide.

Xiahou Dun looked at the scene in front of him without any emotional fluctuations. He took back the horsewhip wrapped around the neck of the corpse and pointed at Wang Zhao, who was now on the far right.

"Come on, it's your turn. You tell me."

Wang Zhao raised his head and looked at Xiahou Chun. The bloodstain on his chest was still oozing. He looked at Xiahou Dun, then looked around and said.

"It doesn't have to be me for success, but I must be part of it."
