In the emperor's carriage, Liu Xie stood on the carriage and watched the battle. He said to Fu Wan, "What do you think of this battle?"
Fu Wan was silent for a moment before saying,
"I'm not looking at this battle, but the results of today's battle.
"In ten hours, Yuan Zhengbei led the army to escort Your Majesty's carriage and the families of the officials. He fought for three hundred li, broke through three cities and six strongholds, and killed fifteen generals! Even Sun Wu of ancient times could not match up to such a strategy. "
"Is that so? But I saw that he only met one or two thousand enemy soldiers in each battle. At most, there were three thousand in this battle. Twenty thousand against a few thousand, he could easily win. "Liu Xie said.
Fu Wan thought hard for a moment before saying, "Your Majesty, please forgive me for my stupidity. In my opinion, Traitor Cao's army in Yu Province and Si Province is not small. If the enemy could gather together and lead tens of thousands of soldiers to attack, General Yuan would not be able to stop them no matter how strong he is. However, this is where General Yuan's strength lies. "
Liu Xie asked curiously, "How is he strong?"
Fu Wan said, "Yu Province and Si Province are Traitor Cao's territories. General Yuan's Youzhou army is surrounded by enemies and could easily fall into the enemy's encirclement. However, General Yuan has an inconceivable insight. He always avoids the dense enemy forces and uses the speed of the army to pass through, not giving the enemy a chance to surround him! He moves between swords and sabers without a single injury. This makes me gasp in amazement. "
Liu Xie nodded and said, "If not for this genius, he would not have been able to break through Xudu. In Your Majesty's opinion, can this person be used? "
Fu Wan sighed and said in his heart, "You're thinking too much." He said, "Your Majesty … before we reach Ye City, nothing is certain."
Liu Xie was silent for a moment. He looked left and right and sighed, "If Yuan Xi is truly loyal to the country, he will be able to restore Han Dynasty. If he is like Cao Cao and has ambitions … I will have to think of other ways. I … do not want to be the ruler of a fallen country. "
Fu Wan hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, please do not be too impatient. Moving the capital to Ye City, regardless of the future, is better than staying in Xudu without any light. Father and son of the Yuan family, observe their words and actions first. After distinguishing between the traitors and the loyalists, we can make further plans. "
The Youzhou army continued to march.
Qiao Rui and Bai Xiaowen walked side by side. Suddenly, she said with some emotion, "The captain's spiritual perception range seems to be much larger than before."
Bai Xiaowen smiled and said, "It's all the inner vision techniques taught by Ge Xuan. I've already told you the method, have you learned it? "
Qiao Rui shook his head and said, "I still can't figure it out."
"It seems that this is similar to the blacksmithing subprofession. Both of them need to be taught by people from the Spirit World to be effective."
Bai Xiaowen pondered for a while before saying, "When we return to Youzhou Province, I'll try to ask Ge Xuan to impart the Internal Vision Method to you."
Qiao Rui quickly shook his head. "No. You've spent so much effort on Ge Xuan, so you must have a follow-up plan. It doesn't matter whether I learn it or not. Don't let Ge Xuan have a grudge against you and become estranged from the friend you've worked so hard to establish. "
Bai Xiaowen didn't dare to make any guarantees. After all, Hua Xia's Daoist sects seemed to pay a lot of attention to "immortal fate". His relationship with Ge Xuan wasn't so good that they could wear the same pants.
Qiao Rui said, "Up ahead is Si Province. Where do you plan to go?"
Bai Xiaowen said, "All the way north. Try not to take any detours and cross the Yellow River at Mengjin. Fortunately, the weather is cold and the Yellow River is frozen, so there's no need to gather ships. Once we reach Bingzhou, we won't have to be in such a hurry. "
Bingzhou was the territory of the Yuan family. The provincial governor, Gao Gan, was Yuan Shao's nephew. In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Gao Gan's talent aside, his loyalty to the Yuan family was obvious to all.
Out of the seven times Meng Deshu had used it, he had already used three of them. All of them were used on the "speed is a crucial asset in war" plan.
Luckily, the emperor's carriage and the carriages of the officials were also seen as allies and were buffed by Meng Deshu's plan. Otherwise, Bai Xiaowen's travel speed would have been twice as slow as it was now.
Leading such a large and bloated mixed army to avoid the encirclement and interception of the defenders in various places in a situation where they were surrounded by enemies, it was easy to say, but how difficult was it in practice? Apart from Uncle Liu, only Bai Xiaowen knew.
Apart from the mental sensing ability and the ability to search the terrain, the speed buff and stamina reduction buff provided by the "speed is a crucial asset in war" plan were also extremely important.
After passing Xinzheng, the number of encounters with the Cao army along the way became much less frequent.
Bai Xiaowen frowned and closed his eyes. He used his mental energy to scan the back of the Wrath Claw over and over again. He changed the wide-range sensing method of the "Cauldron Lid" and changed it to an "antenna" method of scanning with his mental energy. The radius expanded to more than five kilometers, but he still couldn't find any traces of the Cao army.
Qiao Rui looked at Bai Xiaowen's pale face and the faint beads of sweat on his forehead with some heartache.
"This isn't normal, this isn't normal."
After a long while, Bai Xiaowen opened his eyes and said, "Unfortunately, your Spirit of the Falcon is still on cooldown. There are many godly archers in the Three Kingdoms, and I don't dare to use my Spirit of the White Falcon to scout the enemy."
Qiao Rui said, "If you can't scout the enemy, is it because they are afraid of you, so they don't dare to send troops to stop you?"
Bai Xiaowen shook his head and said, "Our speed is very fast.
"Our marching speed can be considered very fast. The speed at which Cao's defeated troops spread the news of their defeat should not be as fast as ours. Therefore, the assumption that the enemy north of Xinzheng is afraid of me is not true.
"Yan Hao's words just now caught my attention. He said, 'If I let you go, who will let me go?' From this, I can infer that the Cao army in Yuzhou and Sizhou must have received strict orders to block our escape route to the north at all costs. "
Qiao Rui nodded and said, "No wonder Yan Hao and the other generals only have one or two or three thousand soldiers under their command, yet they still dare to stop us."
Bai Xiaowen sighed and said, "Let me think, who is in charge of Sizhou at this time … Li Fu? Ding Chong? No, the timing is wrong. The current Commandant of Si Li should be Zhong Yao! "
"I've heard of this person. He is very talented and is a famous calligrapher," Qiao Rui said.
"It's not just calligraphy. This person is very good!" Bai Xiaowen sighed. "In terms of intelligence, Zhong Yao is probably not much worse than Xun Yu. He can be said to be Cao Cao's other arm. He guarded Guanzhong for many years and allowed Cao Cao to avoid the harassment of Ma Teng and Han Sui from the northwest. He was able to focus on fighting against Yuan Shao, Lu Bu, and the other forces. His contributions are huge. "
As he said that, Bai Xiaowen was a bit envious. "Cao Cao, this bastard, holds the Emperor and orders his vassals. The benefits he receives are too great! Talents that are hard to find in other forces all appear in his place. For example, this Zhong Yao can lead troops to war and also govern the provinces. Under his rule, the Guanzhong area went from being dilapidated to having a full population. It's hard to come by. "
"Hey … you should think about how Zhong Yao will deal with us first," Qiao Rui said.
