Cao Bianjiao galloped all the way with three thousand iron cavalry. In one day, he ran near Lushan Mountain, then carefully passed Luyang pass, crossed the watershed, and arrived near Nanzhao county at noon the next day.


    Nanzhao county is located at the north end of Nanyang basin. After passing the watershed, the terrain is suddenly open. Walking a hundred miles south, it is Nanyang Fucheng.


    According to the speed of the cavalry, it will take only an hour at most, and it will arrive in the afternoon.


    Looking at the front, there were all dry and cracked fields and no mountains and forests. Both Cao Bianjiao and Qian Gao were relieved.


    As a cavalry general, Cao Bianjiao has been wandering in the mountains for nearly a month, which makes Cao Bianjiao very frustrated. At the moment, he is like a fish into the sea.


    Three thousand riders are galloping with horses. They are as fast as the wind. They don''t have to worry about the ambush of the prison anymore.


    But Qian Gao, who was born as a scholar and was taken on a horse, was miserable, and the gall almost came out.


    However, when 3000 iron cavalry rushed to Nanyang City, there was no thief army except countless refugees. On the contrary, they scared the defenders in the city to death.


    After some inquiry and dialogue.


    The garrison in the city said that they had not seen any bandits at all in the past few days, and more and more refugees poured in from all directions.


    In order to prevent these refugees from jumping off the wall and becoming anti thieves, Nanyang magistrate also asked Cao Bianjiao to help disperse these refugees.


    But at this time, Cao Bianjiao didn''t want to reason with him?


    Although they were in a hurry along the way, people along the way said that they saw the thief Army crossing the watershed the day before yesterday, wearing unified clothes and helmets. It was vast and numerous.


    "Mr. Qian, what''s going on, thief army?"


    "This..."


    Cao Bianjiao was completely confused. Qian Gao''s eyebrows were all wrinkled into Sichuan characters. Cao Bianjiao asked him who was going?


    If Hong Chengchou were there, he would like to ask, sir, didn''t you say that the rebels raided Nanyang, and who?


    Everyone looked at each other. Qian Gao thought for a while before he suddenly patted his forehead and suddenly realized.


    "No, the original purpose of Xiaohua Wang''s division was not to ambush the cavalry, but to lead the cavalry away, and then take advantage of the adults'' attack on the city. Now it seems that they didn''t hide at the watershed the night before yesterday. As soon as we passed this morning, they will return to Ruzhou."


    "What?"


    Cao Bianjiao was shocked when he saw him say so, because according to the speed of the gang of anti thieves, he had to run at least a hundred miles a day and return to Ruzhou tomorrow afternoon to raid the governor.


    Thinking of this, he hurriedly said: "damn the Xiaohua king, it''s too treacherous. No, we must quickly return to Ruzhou, otherwise the supervisor will have to be caught off guard and suffer a heavy loss."


    "General Cao, calm down first. Don''t worry. It''s late and people are tired. Even if you want help, you have to wait until tomorrow."


    Qian Gao saw that he was about to turn over and get on his horse, and hurriedly advised him.


    "It''s too late to start again tomorrow. If the thief army marches all night tonight, I''m afraid it will launch a raid tomorrow morning. The supervisor is unprepared and must suffer a heavy loss."


    "General Cao, take it easy! Adults have always been strict in running the army. Even if the thief army is surprised, adults will be able to deal with it. And cavalry are on their way at night. What if the other party ambushes halfway? "


    Qian Gao took a step forward to hold him, and then said that at this time, the other party''s real intention, he only relied on speculation. In this way, he would have to suffer a great loss if he kept rashly returning aid.


    "This... That''s all right!"


    Cao Bianjiao thought that it was too dangerous for cavalry to travel at night. Although he was anxious, he had to nod.


    In fact, Qian Gao was also worried about Hong Chengchou''s safety.


    Because the strength of this group of thieves is so strong that they may not be able to win the head-on battle against the supervisor, not to mention the surprise attack of the other party.


    He sent sentinels to inform the news all night and was almost sure to be intercepted by the other party. He didn''t believe that Xiaohua Wang wouldn''t leave people and horses watching the Sentinels along the way.


    This night, Cao Bianjiao and Qian Gao were both sleepless, anxious and worried, because Hong Chengchou had a kindness to both of them, for fear that he would be killed by the Xiaohua king.


    So the next day, when it was still dawn, Cao Bianjiao returned to Ruzhou with 3000 cavalry.


    Nanyang to Ruzhou about three hundred miles, riding horses do not stop, or can arrive in the afternoon.


    This is not, just a morning ran out of more than 100 miles, crossed the watershed and came to the vicinity of Lushan.


    If you don''t worry about each other''s ambush, I''m afraid it''s faster. Of course, most people have double horses.


    At noon, I learned from the garrison of Lushan that at noon yesterday, there was indeed an army trotting north. Both of them were surprised and anxious.


    "Sure enough, as I expected, the real intention of Wang Xiaohua is to lead the general''s Guan Ning iron horse away and attack adults. I''m afraid it''s too late at the moment!"


    Qian Gao sighed at last.


    Lushan County is only a hundred miles away from Ruzhou in the north. According to the foot of the gang of anti thieves, I''m afraid I won''t arrive at the foot of Ruzhou city in the middle of the night last night.


    "The supervisor has 20000 troops in hand. Even if he is caught off guard, he won''t lose so quickly. It''s useless to say these now. We arrive as early as a moment."


    Cao Bianjiao was much more pragmatic than him. Although he was tired at this time, the road to the North was flat and a hundred miles away. It would take more than half an hour to fight.


    "What the general said is." Qian Gaoqiang endured the pain from his swollen thighs and worn-out buttocks and climbed onto the horse again with the help of the soldiers.


    "Drive!"


    Cao Bianjiao waved his whip and only rested for about a quarter of an hour. The 3000 cavalry ran again, and the dust raised all the way covered the sky and the sun.


    All the passers-by looked at it. They really opened their eyes these two days.


    For a while, the infantry trotted south, and the team couldn''t see the end at a glance. For a while, the cavalry followed south, and the same war horses were everywhere.


    Two days later, the infantry ran back. Before long, the cavalry also chased up.


    It''s really a waste of energy and horsepower for a full man who doesn''t know he''s hungry!


    ……


    "Chief, look..."


    "Ha ha, sure enough, I''m here. Well, I''m going to let old Hong dog watch his baby cavalry be destroyed by me today, but it''s too late to rescue."


    On a hill 20 miles south of Ruzhou, Qin Yule laughed when he looked at the smoke rolling at the end of the south.


    The old Hong dog was afraid that he would ambush the ambush twenty miles south of Ruzhou.


    Nor would he have thought that he would ambush when the cavalry returned, or under his nose.


    So I''d like to see what kind of expression he has.


    Three days ago, he led his army south to the watershed. Then he hid in the mountain in the dark. He didn''t get out of the mountain until Cao Bianjiao''s cavalry passed by the next afternoon.


    Then I ran all day yesterday and killed here. I dug traps and ambushed at night. I slept during the day and finally brought the prey.


    In the past few days, tens of thousands of them have run back and forth for more than 200 miles, sleeping in the open, sometimes hiding traces and sometimes making a big fuss.
