Chapter 472
Cao Miao was wrapped in a thick bear-skin coat, a bear-skin hat, and a bear-skin boots. He looked like a big black bear. The heat sprayed from his mouth turned into white mist, and then frost became again.
He pointed to the snow-covered hillside. "Little sister, look for it, where Des and the others are hiding."
Xiahou Yan also dressed a lot, but she maintained her image perfectly. The white cloak, the red brocade fur, the snow-white marten collar, and the exquisite deer leather boots were not like standing in the wilderness, but rather like a beauty who was walking on the snow and enjoying the plum blossoms in the Grand View Garden.
"I can't tell." Xiahou Yan's eyes looked worried. "Will they freeze to death so cold?"
"It's not cold to death. The cold is easier to bear than the heat. Just wear more clothes." Cao Miao said, wrapping his bear's fur coat tightly, muttering in his heart to hurry up and get some high-altitude wine. In such a cold weather, if you don't have some strong wine to warm up your body, you will really freeze to death.
Of course, wine warms the body is just a false appearance, and the real good thing is still high-calorie food.
This is a bit worrying. Most of the here are barren mountains and ridges, with limited food. Where can I go to raise high-calorie food for a while?
It’s good to be at home for a thousand days, but it’s hard to go out for a day. It’s true that high-tech wars can’t be fought just by just wanting to.
We should learn from the United States and MacArthur.
"But they don't wear much." Xiahou Yan whispered.
"It's okay, they still have fat." Thinking of Cao Zhan and others eating Haisai, Cao Miao's mouth couldn't help but twitch. Fortunately, Cao Zhan only brought more than 30 pieces, and a few more could directly kill him.
After more than a month of high-intensity training and weight-raising, Cao Zun does not need to wear a bear coat, but is also like a bear. As long as he keeps food, he has no problem staying in the mountains for a long time. Cao Zun is full of confidence and wants to go out immediately to find the old subordinates of the Yuan family as soon as possible, kill Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang's children and grandchildren, and then return to Luoyang to enjoy a wonderful life.
But Cao Miao disagreed and asked Cao Zuan to train for another winter. The reasons are very sufficient. He only has so many people, and he cannot afford to bear any mistakes. He must ensure that there are no mistakes. Doing more training will help increase the possibility of success, at least he will not freeze to death in the mountains due to accidents such as getting lost.
In addition, Ma Jun also needs to improve weapons based on this special terrain and climate, especially crossbows. The commonly used crossbows in the Central Plains are not suitable for this extremely cold weather, and the tendons and corners become extremely hard and prone to cracking. Ma Jun is studying bowls to find inspiration.
In short, there are still many things to prepare and cannot be too hasty.
In fact, for Cao Miao, only one reason is important.
He didn't want to solve the problem so quickly.
What should I do after killing the descendants of the Yuan family? Will I let Yuan Rui sit under the imperial seat and stare at him fiercely every day? Even if someone else ascends the throne, how good can it be?
He hasn't thought about it yet, and he always feels that the conditions are immature and the possibility is not high.
Since that's the case, delaying for a few days is the best choice. Anyway, for him, it would have no fundamental impact on his final success. He felt that it was good and comfortable overseas.
"It's getting late, let's go back." Xiahou Yan looked at the sky and suggested.
Cao Miao agreed and ordered people to blow the horn to finish the training. The horn of the whimpering horn echoed slowly in the mountains and forests. Xiahou Yan opened his eyes wide and watched the figures slowly squirming among the rocks in the mountains and forests. He stood up, lined up, and went down the mountain one by one in sequence, and his eyes widened.
These people were hidden under her eyelids, and she didn't even notice any of them.
"Brother Des is so awesome, just like he knows stealth."
"Don't say to him in person, he will be proud."
"Yeah." Xiahou Yan nodded vigorously, his eyes smiling like a little crescent.
Cao Zhan and his party went down the mountain, walked towards Cao Miao in a row, deliberately opening their arms. "How is it, I'm hiding it well?"
"It's okay." Cao Miao nodded, took out a roll of paper from his sleeve and handed it over.
Cao Zuan took it and saw that the smile on his face froze. This was a terrain diagram with some points marked on it, and at least half of them coincided with the place where his subordinates were lurking. One of the points was marked with cinnabar and made a fork, which was exactly where he was.
"You are..."
"Silly, can you use your brain? You hide in the same place every day, and aren't afraid of being ambushed?" Cao Miao shook his head, sighed twice in succession, and turned around and left.
Cao Zhuan was very distressed. These are the best places to lurk in this mountain forest. If you don’t hide it here, where can you hide it?
"Don't be depressed, Brother Yunliang is afraid that you will be proud." Xiahou Yan pulled Cao Zhan's sleeve and comforted quietly: "He is very satisfied with your training results, but he just doesn't want to praise you in person."
"Really?" Cao Zhan's mood finally improved.
"Of course, how could I lie to you?" Xiahou Yan jumped and chased Cao Miao. In this wilderness, the biggest advantage is that she doesn't have to keep her polite like she was in Luoyang. She laughed whenever she wanted, jumped whenever she wanted, and did whatever she wanted, and didn't want to go back to Luoyang at all.
Therefore, it is better to build a villa a little slower.
Cao Zhuan looked at the map, looked back at the mountains and forests he had just been hiding, and nodded. It was reasonable to remove emotional factors. He could think of such an obvious favorable terrain, and his opponents could think of it, and would pay attention to it.
"Why are you laughing at? Are you very satisfied with your achievements?" Cao Zhan put the map on the group that followed and said seriously.
The partisans looked around the map and looked at each other.
Back on the boat, Cao Miao had already sent someone to prepare the steaming food. Cao Zhuan and others gathered in groups of three or five, each gathering an iron cauldron, discussing their lurking experiences while eating. Everyone has different situations, and communicating with each other is conducive to improving, which is already their repertoire.
"Yunliang, I'm going to take the weather to the mountains in the past few days." Cao Zuan said while eating mutton with hot mouth: "Last time I heard from the county magistrate that there was a tribe in the mountains. The number of people is not too large, but it is very ferocious and often comes out to rob. Since we have fallen here, we can only rob others in this radius of hundreds of miles. How can we rob us? You said so? So I want to use war instead to train them."
"Have you thought about it?"
"I've thought about it." Cao Zhuan turned around and called a part and took a map. "This is the road map I arranged for someone to inquire. After carefully comparing it, there should be no major errors. According to the distance, you can get back in more than 30 miles and you can get back in at most five days. If you are quick, three days will be enough."

Cao Miao glanced at the map and nodded with satisfaction. Cao Zhuan put in effort to prepare to this level after training.
"I only have one reminder: If you send someone to inquire about the news, you may be alarmed. The bandits are more careful than you think, and there will definitely be eyes and ears in the city. There are so many of us who come, and they cannot ignore it."
Cao Zhuan grinned. "I already know who the bandits are. I can close the net at any time and let him use it for me. The final verification will fall on them. When the time comes, you will have to help."
