Chapter 488
Chapter 498 The Weird Cao Ying
In the quiet forest.
Yuwen Chengdu and Qu Yi were staring intently at Cao Cao’s camp below.
Because just now they saw several soldiers galloping towards the north on horseback.
Such a strange move made both of them cheer up.
In his heart, he even guessed their purpose.
Seeing those soldiers walked a long way.
Qu Yi suggested: “General Yuwen, do we have to send people to keep up? I think maybe these people are going to urge food.
Yu Wencheng frowned, and he stared closely at the few Cao soldiers who were gradually leaving.
“General Koji, why do you think they run so slowly?”
“And up to now, Cao Cao’s army has only been here for six or seven days. Counting the time from Xiangyang City to here, it is only thirteen or four days in total.”
“For example, an army of more than 100,000 people must prepare food and grass for more than two months. Otherwise, a mutiny will easily occur due to lack of food.”
After Yuwen Cheng finished speaking, Qu Yi smiled and said indifferently: “What’s so strange about this? How long did it take them to take Jingzhou? How long did they prepare?
“Why was it possible to take 287 Jiangling as soon as possible? Cao Cao didn’t want to delay for a moment, so the food and grass preparations were not sufficient. This is also excusable and not a cause for concern.”
“What’s more, if we are going to urge food, we just need to send someone to follow us to see it!”
Qu Yi said it very easily, maybe most people would make such a decision in the face of such a situation, but for some reason, Yuwen Cheng always felt a little wrong in his heart.
This feeling is very strange, very uncomfortable, but he can’t say why.
Maybe it’s the sixth sense of being a general, or maybe it’s too much suspicion recently.
“Send Yanyun Shiba to ride! Let’s see what the purpose of these people is!
Yuwen Cheng said with a frown.
Obviously, he didn’t believe in Qu Yi’s explanation just now.
Qu Yi shook his head and hurriedly went to give an order.
Indeed, only Yanyun (cdbi) eighteen cavalry can do it perfectly, the quality of the individual soldiers must be presumably, I am afraid that there will never be anyone in the world who surpasses Yanyun’s eighteen cavalry.
Yan Yun’s Eighteen Riders received Yuwen Chengdu’s order, and without any hesitation, rode their horses and chased northward.
Qu Yi and Yu Wen Cheng were still watching the movements of Cao Jun below.
After seeing that the army that went to attack the city today was only 20,000 to 30,000, Yuwen Cheng once again felt that something was wrong.
“Do you feel something is wrong?
Qu Yi scratched his head: “What’s wrong? Some people go out to attack the city, most of them are training in the military camp, everything is normal!!”
Yuwen Cheng shook his head: “You didn’t notice how many people there are?”
“When we met Cao Jun on the first day, it was close to 130,000 troops, and now although a lot of people have died in the siege, there are still 120,000 people.
“But look at the 20,000 to 30,000 people who went out, and Cao Liang’s 40,000 to 50,000 people in the barracks. How many are there? It’s half of them. Where did the rest go?”
“It’s not like you’re still sleeping in the camp, are you?”
After Yu Wencheng’s reminder, even Qu Yi felt something was wrong.
“But yesterday, I saw more than 100,000 people, how come there are so many suddenly? Did they transfer it secretly?”
“But we have people staring at the camp all day, such a big move can’t be hidden from us!”
“Really sleeping?”
In the end, Kou Yi couldn’t help but say such words.
Except for the camp that they couldn’t see, the rest of the place was unobstructed.
Yu Wencheng’s face was solemn, but even if he wanted to break his head, he still couldn’t solve the doubt in his heart.
Qu Yi didn’t think so much, he patted Yuwen Chengcheng’s shoulder and said: “Don’t think about it, these people don’t have any wings, maybe Cao Cao is going to let the soldiers rest for a while in batches, and when they eat, let’s see Look, won’t it be clear by then?
Yuwen Chengdu paused, then nodded.
Yes, you should be able to see clearly when eating.
After making up their minds and clarifying the doubts in their hearts, the two of them did not leave this place, and put all their eyes on Cao Cao’s camp.
Soon the morning siege drill was over, and the soldiers who went out returned again, and everyone’s faces showed a trace of exhaustion.
The smoke from the cooking rose, and the whole sky was filled with the aroma of rice.
Yuwen Chengdu and Qu Yi were staring at the camp below without blinking.
Soon the food was ready, and Cao’s army came out of the tent and gathered together.
The two of them, Kou Yi in the high place, looked from a distance with their eyes.
After reading it, the two were even more puzzled, and the expressions on their faces also had a trace of ugly.
Because if their estimates are correct, there are really only 70,000 or 80,000 people in this camp, and they have no idea where the other half of the troops are!
Even if they slipped away, how could they slip away under their noses?
The two looked at each other with a deep worry in their eyes.
This Cao Jun camp is too strange, where did the soldiers who disappeared go?
Countless questions echoed in the minds of the two, but until Cao Jun ran out of food, they still didn’t see any clues…
