After setting off from Youzhou, they first went to the junction of Jizhou and Bingzhou, then went all the way south along the Taihang Mountains, choosing places that were rarely visited.
After leaving Jizhou, they went to the border of Sizhou and went to the southwest.
It was winter at this time, the Yellow River was dry and frozen. Bai Xiaowen led the army to cross the Yellow River at night, bypassing Xingyang. It took only two days to reach Yangdi, which was the northwest gate of Yingchuan County.
Li Shuyi came to meet them with the latest information about Guandu. At this point, the five members of the White Phoenix team were gathered!
"Tell me, is there anything new in Guandu?" Bai Xiaowen asked.
Li Shuyi replied, "Yes … Xu You was scolded by Yuan Shao for not taking care of his nephew."
Bai Xiaowen narrowed his eyes and said, "It seems that Xu You will join Cao Cao in a few days. The plot of the three kingdoms of the spiritual world matches with the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. "
In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Xu You suggested to Yuan Shao to sneak attack Xu Du, and Yuan Shao was hesitant.
Suddenly, the counselor of Ye City in Jizhou sent someone to report that Xu You's nephew was corrupt and had been arrested.
Yuan Shao was furious and scolded Xu You, not giving him any face. Naturally, Xu You's suggestion was not followed up.
Xu You retreated in shame and anger, and went to Cao Cao in the night, offering the plan of burning the crow's nest.
Now it seemed that in the three kingdoms of the spiritual world, at least the first half of Xu You's night running was the same as the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
It was not that Xu You was better than Guo Jia, Xi Zhicai, Cheng Yu, and other Cao army counselors, but Xu You was in Yuan Shao's camp and knew the real situation of Yuan Shao. With such a foundation of information, of course, he would take advantage of the situation to plan.
This was the horror of a mole.
Of course, it was not all Xu You's fault.
Speaking of which, Xu You's choice was really thoughtless. The frontline was in a stalemate, and he did not want to stabilize the situation. Instead, he blindly caused trouble for the frontline.
Although Xu You was loyal and honest, he was tough and not scheming. With Yuan Shao as his lord, his shortcomings were magnified.
Bai Xiaowen threw away the useless thoughts and said, "The situation in Guandu may change in a few days. Don't worry about them and carry out our plan. Yingchuan is in front of us, and Xu Du is just three hundred li away! "
"We didn't meet any enemy along the way. We're halfway to success," Qiao Rui said.
Bai Xiaowen nodded and said, "We'll head east and enter the territory of Yingchuan County. This is Cao Cao's most trusted place. Don't have any wishful thinking. Carry out two tactical objectives.
"First, the cavalry must march in a hurry. Do not get entangled with the guards in the cities along the way. Go around the city and head straight for Xu Du!
"Secondly, if you encounter an impregnable pass that you can't bypass, you must end the battle quickly! After breaking through the pass, there will be no prisoners. "
In the end, Bai Xiaowen did not leave the word 'captive'. He said it very solemnly.
All four of his teammates nodded solemnly.
It was not an exaggeration to say that they were surrounded by enemies as soon as they raised their eyes and charged forward for a thousand li and eight hundred riders deep into the enemy's territory. At this time, they absolutely could not be pedantic and show mercy, causing the enemy countries to exchange information and gather an army to encircle and suppress them.
One must know that the biggest advantage of the eight hundred winged cavalry was their stealth and surprise!
It was like a sharp knife stabbing right into the heart of the Cao army. If the Cao army realized this, the danger level would greatly increase.
Furthermore, the longer this dragged on, the more the Yuzhou city guards would be able to surround them. This would be even more disadvantageous for Bai Xiaowen.
The winged cavalry carried out Bai Xiaowen's tactical objective and gave up on Yangdi City. They passed through the wilderness between Xinzheng and Changge City and headed east at full speed. Luckily, during the Three Kingdoms era, the population was not as dense as during the Christian era in Hua Xia.
Along the way, they went around the villages that they met.
When they met woodcutters, hunters, and the like, Bai Xiaowen's mental scan could detect them. Before they could escape, they would kill them, truly carrying out the order to not take any prisoners.
After passing through Changshe, the winged cavalry finally arrived in front of Yanling Pass.
This was a dangerous pass. The left and right sides of the pass were endless mountains, and it was the entrance to Xu Du.
Bai Xiaowen had used the mountain river geographical map to check it out. On the two sides of Yanling Pass, there were small paths. However, they were extremely steep and could not allow the winged cavalry to pass through. As such, they could only give up on them.
Yanling Pass was a strategic location, and they could not go around it. Entering through the pass was the most time and effort efficient method. Even if they had to fight, they would not hesitate.
"Take out the Cao army flag that we prepared. It is best if the enemy opens the gate." Bai Xiaowen said.
The winged cavalry raised the flag with the word 'Xiahou' on it and shouted for it to be opened.
A general flashed out from the pass and hollered, "Who are you?"
Bai Xiaowen replied, "I am the son of the Yingchuan Governor, Xiahou Yuan! I am on orders from my father to head to Xu Du! Quickly open the gate and let us pass. Do not miss the time! "
Yingchuan Governor Xiahou Yuan was extremely famous in the Cao army camp.
Cao Cao's surname was originally Xiahou. After he was adopted by Cao Teng, he changed his surname to Cao. Hence, there were many Xiahou generals in the army.
Xiahou Yuan was Cao Cao's cousin. It was said that when Cao Cao was imprisoned, Xiahou Yuan took his place. Hence, his relationship with Cao Cao was even closer. Later on, Xiahou Yuan took Cao Cao's sister-in-law as his wife and became in-laws with Cao Cao. Their relationship was even more irrefutable.
Xiahou Yuan's son, Xiahou Yuan, was under his father's protection. In the later Three Kingdoms era, he had a high status. However, he was not famous now.
Bai Xiaowen had spent a lot of effort to choose this person's flag to open the gate. As long as the defending general was afraid of Xiahou Yuan's background and opened the gate to let the winged cavalry pass, it would be a huge gain.
Of course, this required the defending general to be weak and useless. Only then would this trick have a chance of succeeding.
The defending general shouted, "No matter who it is, you have to verify their identity before you can open the gate! Young Master Xiahou, please show me the official document from the Yingchuan Governor. "
"It's an emergency. Father only gave me a message and no official document."
The defending general revealed a suspicious expression, "Without an official document, you can't let us pass. Please forgive me."
Bai Xiaowen pretended to be angry, "Who are you? How dare you stop me? Are you trying to bully my sword? "
Bai Xiaowen had used this line before when he was the Ye City Gate Officer. It was quite useful.
However, the defending general showed no fear and said loudly, "I am Deng Tong. Lord Xun has given strict orders. Young Master, please don't make things difficult for me. "
Bai Xiaowen shook his head helplessly, "I ran for an entire night before reaching here. If you don't open the gate, do you expect me to go back like this? "
At this moment, Bai Xiaowen had decided to attack and ordered in the team channel.
Taking advantage of the night, Li Shuyi quietly climbed up from the side of the mountain path.
Deng Tong did not know and cupped his fists, "Please forgive me. Please return the way you came and bring the official document from the Yingchuan Governor. I will definitely open it."
Bai Xiaowen suddenly scoffed and opened his palm. A yellow talisman shot towards Deng Tong like a shooting star.
