"Charge, kill!"

"Kill all these beasts!"

"Brothers, charge with me!"

……

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

During these three days.

Cao Zhi's army fought five battles with Guo Tai's Baibo army.

In these five battles.

A total of 6,000 enemies were killed, including 1,000 cavalry and 5,000 infantry.

Besides.

Cao Zhi and others also rescued six villages, with a total of more than 700 people.

When he heard Cao Zhi and others claiming to be from the imperial court and Cao Sikong's men.

The people knelt down and thanked the court and Prime Minister Cao.

This scene completely stunned Cao Zhi.

It was me who saved you, okay?

But then I thought about it.

The common people know nothing about the court and the prime minister!

As ordinary people, they believe whatever the rulers say.

Cao Zhi then said magnanimously:

"Everyone, we were sent by Cao Sikong to rescue you. Cao Sikong has not forgotten you. We will definitely restore peace to Bingzhou!"

"Thank you Cao Sikong!"

"Long live Cao Sikong!"

"Grandpa, what is Cao Sikong? Can we eat him?"

"Shh, you're going to die!"

……

There was an endless stream of expressions of gratitude.

To thank Cao Zhi and others.

The people gave their remaining food rations to Cao Zhi.

Naturally, Cao Zhi could not accept this.

There was still a lot of food looted from the group of Baibo soldiers who had just been killed.

In addition, war horses killed in battle can also be used as meat.

So Cao Zhi asked everyone to leave three days' worth of food.

All the remaining food was distributed to the people.

After doing all this.

Cao Zhi and others continued their journey westward.

They must eliminate Guo Tai and the Baibo Army as soon as possible.

Cao Zhi and others had just left.

The remaining elderly, weak, women and children in the village gathered together.

A woman said to the oldest man in the crowd:

"Third Uncle, do you think they can defeat those beasts?"

"Of course I can. When I was young, I once visited Jiuyuan Commandery. There lived a Flying General. He was tall and mighty. On the surface, he was the commander of the army, but once he donned armor, tens of thousands of Xiongnu wouldn't be enough for him to slay!"

"The young general leading these people looks just like the Flying General back then, but it's a pity his last name is Cao, not Lu!"

The old man sighed.

The old man is the most knowledgeable person in their village.

Hearing the old man say this, everyone couldn't help but look excited.

Cao Zhi was unaware of the old man's sigh.

If Cao Zhi knew the old man’s sigh.

Cao Zhi would definitely tell the old man very seriously: "You are Lu Bu, and your whole family is Lu Bu!"

……

This is Mrs. Guo.

There are only three days left.

One-fifth of his soldiers were killed.

Mrs. Guo was so furious that she was about to explode.

This is the fortune I have saved up through years of hard work!

Just when Guo Tai was thinking about how to deal with Cao Zhi and others.

At this moment, someone said:

"General, I've noticed that these sudden enemy troops don't kill civilians. I think we can drive the civilians to rush towards their camp. When they're in a panic, we can take advantage of the opportunity to attack and kill them by surprise!"

"Are you sure they won't kill civilians?"

Guo looked at the person who had just spoken with a silly look on his face.

In this chaotic world.

Guo Tai had never seen a prince who did not kill the people.

If we have to say there is one, Liu Bei is one.

But Mrs. Guo had never met Liu Bei.

In his opinion, this was just propaganda used by Liu Bei to win people's hearts.

If you don't kill the people, are you still a prince?

"General, this is true. I saw them from afar yesterday. To prevent them from catching up, I sent someone to light a fire in a nearby village. As expected, they were busy putting out the fire and didn't chase me or anyone else!"

At this moment, someone else said.

This man looked very proud. He thought that since he was so smart, the Marshal would definitely reward him handsomely.

"In that case, tomorrow you will drive the people to attack the enemy camp. Once they are in a state of panic, I will seize the opportunity to strike back!"

Mrs. Guo said in a deep voice.

"what--"

The person who spoke last was stunned.

I shouldn't be so mean! !

"Ah what? Don't you want to?"

Guo Tai snorted coldly and immediately drew the sword at his waist.

"No, I am willing to serve you, Marshal. I am willing to do so!"

The man said quickly.

After that person leaves.

Someone beside him said:

"General, do you really want to force the people to do what they want? If we take these people to the Xiongnu, we can exchange them for war horses. If we hand over the horses to high-ranking officials, we can get a lot of silver in return!"

This person is Mrs. Guo's confidant.

She is very familiar with Mrs. Guo's business as a middleman.

"No matter how valuable the people are, can they be as valuable as our lives?"

"If I'm not mistaken, these soldiers who suddenly appeared are from the imperial court, Cao Cao's men!"

"Therefore, the method I just used to control the people can only tie their hands and feet at best. The real killer move is to target the high-ranking officials in the city!"

"Given Gao Gan's hostility towards Cao's army, if he learns that Cao's army is trapped by the people, he will definitely send troops to attack these people. After all, in Gao Gan's eyes, Bingzhou is his private property. He can tolerate us plundering the people, but he cannot tolerate Cao's army plundering the land!"

Mrs. Guo sneered.

"Great idea, Marshal!"

The person next to him said in surprise.

……

The words are divided into two parts.

Just when Guo Tai was plotting against Cao Zhi.

Cao Zhi and others.

Pre-war deployments were also being made at this time.

"Fourth Young Master, in my opinion, the news of our efforts to rescue the civilians over the past few days has already reached Lord Guo. Knowing Lord Guo well, he will definitely use the civilians as shields and drive them to the front of his army. By then, we will be in danger!"

Zhang Yan said in a deep voice.

As soon as Zhang Yan said this.

Everyone was furious.

Through what I have seen and heard in the past few days, and the subtle influence of Cao Zhi.

At this time, everyone regarded the people as their own compatriots.

Therefore, when people thought that the people would be used as a shield by Mrs. Guo, they were furious.

"Fourth Young Master, let's take the initiative and kill Mrs. Guo as soon as possible!"

Ju Qi, Chen Dao, Le Jin and Zhang Yan volunteered.

In their view, the sooner Guo Tai was killed, the sooner the people would be safe.

As for Zhang He and Zhang Liao, they remained silent at this time.

Seeing everyone's eyes looking at them.

Zhang He pondered and said:

"Mr. Guo is just a minor threat. Compared to Mr. Guo, I am more worried about Mr. Gao. After all, the soldiers under his command are the real Bingzhou Army!"

As soon as Zhang He finished speaking, Zhang Liao continued:

"I think the same as General Zhang He. I also believe that high-ranking officials are our biggest threat!"

"Oh? Do the two generals have any method to defeat the enemy?"

Cao Zhi laughed.

By this time.

Cao Zhi could naturally see it.

Among the people in front of me.

Ju Qi, Chen Dao, Le Jin and Zhang Yan are talented generals and can only be generals.

Zhang He and Zhang Liao were both talented generals.

"This... I haven't thought of it yet!"

Zhang He pondered for a moment and said directly.

"I have a plan, but I don't know if it will work!"

Zhang Liao said.

"According to my subordinates, in the past few days, Mrs. Guo has been spying on us, and the senior officials have also been spying on us!"

"As General Zhang Yan said before, during these three days, they must have figured out that we don't kill civilians. And considering Guo Tai's character, he will definitely drive the civilians to us and use them to trap us!"

"Once we are trapped by the common people, as long as the high official is not stupid, he will definitely send troops to deal with us. After all, Guo Tai and his group of drunkards are simply incapable of defeating us. Therefore, I conclude that the high official will definitely send troops!"

"Once they send out their troops, our chance will come. We can send some soldiers out in front to draw fire. When the battle is intense, we can send other soldiers to pretend to be soldiers leaving the city and go to the city gate to ask for help. We can trick the generals defending the city into opening the gate. Once they open the gate, we can seize the opportunity to capture the city!"

"Once the city falls into our hands, Gao Gan's cavalry, without the support of the city, will no longer be a threat. After all, the double stirrups significantly increase the combat effectiveness of the cavalry!"

Zhang Liao spoke eloquently.

Accompanied by Zhang Liao's words.

Everyone looked at Zhang Liao with a little more respect.

Unlike others, Cao Zhi looked calm at this time.

In Cao Zhi's opinion, Zhang Liao should be like this!

"Wenyuan's plan is excellent, but I think there's one point I don't think is appropriate, and that's the mobility of the cavalry. If these cavalry, having lost the city, don't fight us and instead flee in all directions, we'll be safe, but the people will suffer!"

At this moment, Zhang He pointed out the loophole in the plan.

He didn't do this intentionally to sabotage the show.

It was because he respected Zhang Liao that he pointed out the problem in advance.

As soon as Zhang He said this.

Zhang Liao's expression changed instantly.

Because he was just thinking about how to defeat the cavalry in the city.

But they forgot how much harm these cavalrymen would cause to the people once they were released.

And because they are regular Bingzhou army.

Then there’s the harm they cause.

It is definitely more harmful than the Baibo Army under Guo Tai's command.

"What if we can stop the enemy cavalry?"

At this moment, Cao Zhi suddenly said.

"Stop the cavalry?"

Everyone was stunned.

"Yes, it's to stop the cavalry. If I remember correctly, when we killed the Baibo Army before, we also intercepted a batch of treasures."

"If we throw all the treasures on the ground, do you think the cavalrymen under the high official will dismount and fight for them?"

"This... the Fourth Young Master has a brilliant idea!"

Zhang He and others said excitedly.

As a soldier, as a general.

They can guarantee it 100%.

Once Cao Zhi really did this.

Then the cavalrymen under the high-ranking officials will definitely be fooled!
