Chapter 182 Tune the tiger away from the mountain, leaving the crisis

"Okay, now, go and inform General Xu Huang, and I will open the city gate when the general arrives! Welcome the general into the city!"

"By the way, tell General Xu Huang not to forget the money Duke Cao promised me."

After Chen Liu's prefect finished his explanation, he asked the master to leave. At this time, Xu Huang received a letter from Chen Liu's prefect and led the army towards Chen Liu.

And Bai Qi, who was out just now, didn't know about Chen Liu's situation, and led everyone to search for Cao Ren's camp.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, Bai Qi's stomach started to growl. He knew it was time to eat, so he ordered the army to rest on the spot and prepare for dinner.

During the meal, Bai Qi called the local guide he brought from the city and asked.

"Why are there no more than [-] soldiers left by Chen? Could it be that there are really bandits here?"

Seeing Bai Qi asking this question, the guide hesitated for a while and didn't speak.

Bai Qi knew that the guide probably knew something, so he continued to ask.

But the guide just didn't want to say it, as if he was afraid of something, and finally spoke under Bai Qi's reassurance.

"General, I don't know if there are any bandits here in Chenliu, but I know that there is a team of brave fighters near Chenliu. They will come to besiege Chenliu near Chenliu every once in a while. Let people go after these thieves."

"Then prefect Chenliu didn't report it?"

When Bai Qi heard what the guide said, he immediately asked in confusion. It stands to reason that as long as this kind of large-scale harassment is reported to Ye Xiao, he will send someone to solve it.

But Bai Qi hadn't heard the news reported by Chen Liu's prefect for so long, so what was Chen Liu's prefect thinking, Bai Qi thought while listening to the guide's words.

"I don't know if it is reported or not. I only know that many people died."

The guide shook his head and said he didn't know.

"Scout!!"

Bai Qi saw that he couldn't ask anything from the guide, so he let the guide go, and shouted at the soldiers next to him.

The people next to him quickly stopped eating and called the scouts. After a while, the captain of the scouts came.

"General, what's the matter?!"

At this moment, Bai Qi looked at the scout captain with a solemn expression as he spoke slowly.

"You have been here many times, and you are familiar with the roads. After a while, you will finish your meal quickly, and then set off with your scout team to check the two wings for me, and report to me if there is any movement."

After receiving the order, the scout ran back and hurriedly finished the food on the table.

After that, he took his scouts and spread out towards the two wings of the army.

At this time, Bai Qi's confidant heard Bai Qi's shout.

He also came over after eating, and said to Bai Qi after learning about the situation from Bai Qi's mouth.

"General, don't you think that the thieves will come out from the two wings? No way, Cao Ren probably brought less than 5000 people this time. 2 people came out to ambush our [-] people, isn't it a bit exaggerated?"

When Bai Qi heard this, he began to think whether he was exaggerating a bit.

"General, look at the open terrain here. Our army has catapults as backup, and there are [-] cavalry. The thief will never say anything about it and attack us again."

Bai Qi's confidant got up and pointed to the surrounding environment and continued.

At this time, Bai Qi kept walking in the same place, and the words of Bai Qi's confidant echoed repeatedly in his mind. After walking a few times, Bai Qi stopped and said.

"The scout team encountered about [-] cavalry. This kind of cavalry must be the strength of the main force of Cao Ren and others, right?"

Everyone nodded in agreement after hearing Bai Qi's words. After Cao Cao experienced a big defeat, his strength was greatly damaged and his horses were insufficient. Moreover, this land of Yanzhou did not produce horses. Most of Cao Cao's horses were from other places. If you can buy it, it would be nice to have three thousand cavalry.

Bai Qi said as he walked to the map hanging on the wall of the tent, looked at it for a long time, pointed to the route on the map and said.

"You didn't see, this is when the scout reported to me this morning. I marked it. The scout traveled for a total of four hours at night. How far a person can travel in one hour, think about how far this scout has traveled."

Bai Qi's confidant was silent for a while and spoke.

"According to the route marked by the general, this road is full of forests. Even if the scout rides a horse, it is impossible to advance at full speed. In addition, it is traveling at night, so the scout has traveled 65 miles."

"65 miles!"

Bai Qi repeated this number, turned around and looked at the people standing there and said.

"65 miles, what about those cavalry? Could it be that they have wings and can fly? Can they fly away? Or is it that Chenliu County can't see or hear the movement of the thousand cavalry? Is everyone in Chenliu County blind? If they saw it, why? Didn't send troops to kill or tell me to wait?"

Speaking of this, everyone also knew why Bai Qi was so anxious and kept sending out scouts.

Bai Qi's confidant thought for a while and said.

"Could it be that Chenliu County can't do it! The general won't be what you think!"

Bai Qi's confidant thought for a while and said.

"General, could it be that Cao Ren knew that I was coming to Chenliu County and retreated?"

"Impossible! Cao Cao sent Cao Ren to Chenliu not as a bandit, but to occupy Chenliu. Besides, even though Cao Ren is afraid of us, why did the scouts find such a large number of cavalry!"

At this time, Bai Qi's confidant suddenly discovered something, went to the map and looked at it for a while, then turned his head and said to Bai Qi.

"General, aren't you worried that you will fall into the trick of diverting the tiger away from the mountain?!"

"Yes, that's right."

Hearing his confidant say this, Bai Qi praised his confidant a few words, which made his confidant feel a little embarrassed.

You must know that Bai Qi seldom praises others. At this time, Bai Qi walked to the map and pointed to the location on the map and said to everyone.

"The key point of this matter is what happened to Chenliu County. The appearance of these enemies is definitely not something that can appear in a day or two. So what is the prefect of Chenliu doing? There must be tricks in it!"

"Cao Ren brought more than [-] cavalry this time. The cavalry and infantry plus archers and spearmen may number more than [-]. Such a big movement must not be completed in one day. blind?!"

Bai Qi looked at the place pointed by his confidant and fell silent. After an unknown period of time, Bai Qi finally spoke.

"There must be a big problem in Chenliu County. Then Cao Ren deliberately sent so many cavalry to chase our scouts, just to annoy us and let our army attack. At this time, Chenliu is in danger!"

"The scouts are back!"

After hearing the sound, Bai Qi looked in the direction of the sound, and saw a scout in the distance, jumping off his horse and trotting towards him.

"General, a large number of Xu Huang's troops have appeared outside Chenliu City."

"Not good, tune the tiger away from the mountain! Prefect Chen Liu has rebelled!"
