One kick to the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 18 False intelligence?
Cao Cao, Xiahou Dun, and Cao Hong were greatly puzzled that Qin Yi prevented Xiahou Dun from delivering the order.

"What does Tian Yu mean by this?" Cao Cao asked Qin Yi with a frown.

Qin Yi looked up at the sky and saw that the sun was already westward, it should be mid-afternoon.More certain of his deduction, he asked Cao Cao: "Dare to ask Mr. Cao, how far is General Bao's army from Bianshui at this time?"

Just as Cao Cao was about to answer, Cao Hong took the first step: "Are you spying on the military situation?"

Cao Hong stared at Qin Yi while speaking, with a vigilant look full of hostility.

Qin Yi narrowed his eyes, then widened them suddenly, met Cao Hong's gaze without fear, and said with a sneer, "General Zilian is suspicious of Qin?"

The eyes of the two collided, and if there was any substance, sparks flew straight out.

"Zi Lian must not be rude!" Cao Cao lightly reprimanded Cao Hong, and said, "Since Tian Yu has joined our army, it is natural that he wants to understand the military situation. This is what the title should mean."

Cao Hong agreed silently, neither admitting his mistake, nor withdrawing his gaze from Qin Yi.

Cao Cao turned to look at Xiahoudun: "Yuan Rang, you received General Bao's letter, why don't you explain it to Tian Yu!"

"No!" Xiahou Dun responded, and said to Qin Yi: "This time we are marching into Chenggao. Bao Xin, Minister of Jibei, and his younger brother Bao Tao will lead [-] troops as the front army, and [-] of our army will be the central army. Zhang Miao's general Wei Zi led an army of [-] troops as the rear army, and the distance between the three armies was six or seven miles. Now, the front army has reached Luotuoling, about ten miles away from Bianshui."

Qin Yi nodded in agreement, and then he explained why he stopped Xiahou Dun from delivering the order: "Mr. Cao, the two generals came from Luoyang. On the way here, I ventured to find out what Dong Zhuo's army was doing. Now, Dong Zhuo has sent Xu Rong to The guardian of Xingyang..."

"So what?" Cao Hong couldn't bear his temper and interrupted Qin Yi, "It's normal for the coalition forces to gather in Suanzao and Dong Zhuo to send generals to guard Xingyang. Do you think our army is afraid of Xu Rong?"

Qin Yi glanced at Cao Hong, not bothering to argue with him, and continued to follow his own train of thought: "Yesterday, someone passed by the outskirts of Xingyang and saw Dong Zhuo's army marching eastward. Someone looked at its flag and saw the word 'Xu' written on the banner. According to A certain inference is that Xu Rong must have been unable to bear it any longer and wanted to take the initiative to attack the coalition forces. If our army does not pay attention and advances in a hurry, we may encounter Xu Rong."

As soon as these words came out, Cao Cao, Cao Hong, and Xiahou Dun were all stunned.

"Tianyu, is the information true?" Cao Cao asked anxiously.

Qin Yi nodded his head heavily: "I have nothing to say. Although I don't know the clear goal of Dong Zhuo's army, it is true that a Dong Zhuo's army is marching eastward."

These words were naturally made up, but this information was not made up by Qin Yi.He drew this conclusion based on the historical facts provided by Liu Ruoyin and Xiahou Dun's narration just now.

Since the historical facts say that Cao Cao encountered Xu Rong in Bianshui, it is speculated that this encounter will definitely start in the evening according to the current time.Of course, this was without Qin Yi's intervention.

Based on this time point, Xu Rong is naturally marching eastward.

Cao Cao fixed his eyes on Qin Yi, thinking silently.

Cao Hong snorted coldly and said, "Who knows if you are using this kind of false information to perfuse us, deliberately delaying the speed of our army's advance!"

"You... believe it or not!" Qin Yi was also annoyed, and turned around without looking at Cao Hong again.

If it wasn't for his current fate tied to Cao Cao, he wouldn't be bothered to meddle in these nosy matters!Is it fun to fight? I would rather choose to tease Liu Ruoyin in the base car.

"My lord, if the information provided by the strong man Qin is true, if our army really meets Xu Rong at the meeting, it will be an unprepared battle. Anyway, our army originally planned to camp in Bianshui tonight, and there will be no delay in marching a quarter of an hour later. , why not, first act according to the suggestion of the strong man Qin, send people to notify the former army to guard on the spot, and then send more scouts to cross the Bian River to find out the military situation."

After thinking about it for a while, Xiahou Dun put forward his suggestion to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao nodded when he heard this: "Just follow Yuan Rang's words. In addition, the order is sent to our army to set off immediately, and then send people to urge the rear army Wei Zi's troops to rush on as soon as possible to join the front army."

"promise!"

…………

When the military order was passed down, the army stopped resting and set off immediately.

Cao Cao asked Qin Yi if he could ride a horse, and Qin Yi replied: "Although he is not good at equestrian skills, he can still ride on a horse."

So Cao Cao allocated a horse to Qin Yi and asked Qin Yi to follow him.It can also be seen from this that Cao Cao is very good at winning people's hearts.Qin Yi and him were just acquainted for the first time, yet he was able to safely keep pace with Qin Yi.If you meet a straight-hearted person, Cao Cao's performance just like this, I'm afraid he will be moved and bow down.

Qin Yi served as a soldier in Inner Mongolia in his later generations. When he went out on weekends and holidays, he went to the racecourse many times to play, and he learned how to ride a horse.

However, war horses in this era did not have double stirrups, but a simple stirrup was hung by a rope on the left side of the saddle, and its function was only to facilitate the knight to get on and off the horse, which made Qin Yi very uncomfortable.

Fortunately, the majority of the army was infantry, and their marching speed was not very fast, so Qin Yi could keep up.

Riding on the horse, Qin Yi couldn't help daydreaming: the creative thinking of human beings is really strange, sometimes it's only a layer of window paper, but it can't be pierced every now and then.Just like this stirrup, there were already single-sided stirrups at the end of the Han Dynasty, why did no one think of turning them into double stirrups?

It's a pity that an invention that doubles the combat power of cavalry is only used as a moving stone at this time.How about...let me pierce the window paper.

Qin Yi glanced at Cao Cao who was driving beside him, opened his mouth, but closed it immediately.

It's better not to tell Lao Cao the function of the double stirrups.Don't think that I am friends with him at the moment, but who knows what tasks the system will release in the future, maybe I will become enemies with Lao Cao in the future.

"What does Tianyu want to say?" Cao Cao sensed Qin Yi's move and turned his head to ask.

Qin Yi quickly put aside the thought just now, and said instead: "Mr. Cao, I don't understand something, and I hope Mr. Cao will clear up my doubts."

"Why don't you understand?"

Qin Yi turned his head, glanced at the dragon-like army behind him, turned to look at Cao Cao and said, "Since most of our army are recruits, why is Mr. Cao so anxious to take them to the battlefield?"

Cao Cao was silent for a while, then sighed and said, "Why don't I want to train my recruits seriously before going to war? But time waits for no one, and we can only train troops in actual combat."

After a short pause, Cao Cao continued: "Furthermore, the imperial court has been in trouble for a long time, and it has not been a day or two since it has neglected its military equipment. In the majestic Han Dynasty, there are very few troops that can be called elite. Since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, battle after battle has continued. The few elites of the imperial court were also lost. Now, counting the princes, Dong Zhuo's Xiliang army is the most powerful. No wonder the princes of the coalition army are afraid of Dong Zhuo."

"Could it be that Mr. Cao is worried about the prospect of fighting against Dong Daye?" Qin Yi had a feeling in his heart.

Cao Cao was silent for a long time, and finally sighed: "Do your best to obey the destiny!"

But immediately, the decadent look on his face dissipated, and turned into a strong fighting spirit. He looked forward and burst out with pride: "Whether others are sincere in eliminating thieves for the country or not, Cao will do his best to attack Dong Zhuo. Even if he fails, It's a big deal to give up this remnant body, and I can only serve the Han Dynasty with my death!"
