Cao Shu led the team to advance all the way to Yecheng.

As he was walking, a fast horse was running towards him.

Seeing the fast horse, the guard beside him immediately opened his longbow.

Cao Shu made a gesture and signaled the guard to put the bow down.

Deng Zhan then rode forward and ran towards the fast horse.

Stopped the team, Cao Shu looked at Deng Zhan and said something to the Knight.

A moment later, Deng Zhan led the knight to him.

The two got closer and closer, and Cao Shu recognized that he was a guard who had followed Xun Chen to Nanpi.

When he arrived in front of Cao Shu, the guard dismounted and saluted: "Young Master, Mr. Xun asked me to come and remind me that there may be ambush on the road, so be careful."

"How did Mr. Xun know that there would be an ambush on the road?" Cao Shu asked, "Does he have any conclusive evidence?"

"There is no conclusive evidence." The guard replied: "It's just that Guo Tu and the five thousand men disappeared for no reason. It was indeed a coincidence that the young master was heading to Yecheng."

"Yuan Tan is indeed going to take action." Cao Shuo smiled slightly at Chen Dao, Zhao Yun and others, and said to them: "From now on, you have to pay attention to it every moment."

"He is really a big deal." Zhao Yun smiled slightly: "We have only more than 500 people, but he sent 5,000 troops. It seems that he is bound to win this time."

"There is more than Yuan Tan who wants my head." Cao Shuo smiled and said, "If everyone can succeed, wouldn't I have to die a hundred times?"

"What are the plans for the young master?" Chen Dao asked from the side.

"Five hundred vs. Five thousand, and we are making it clear and they are on the verge of the darkness." Cao Shu asked the two of them: "If it's a tough fight, how likely do you have to win?"

"Seven points." Chen Dao said: "Although Yuan Tan's subordinates had some soldiers, he had no general who could lead the troops. General Zhao and I rushed into the enemy for a few rounds, so there should be no problem."

"I dare not be too sure about life." Cao Shuo smiled and said, "In my opinion, it is more appropriate for us to take a detour."

"Isn't the young master going this way to attract Yuan Tan to fight?" Chen Dao asked in confusion: "Can you avoid them?"

"If I didn't take a detour, Yuan Tan would still have some doubts, maybe he wouldn't fight." Cao Shu said: "If I take a detour, he would definitely guess that I already had doubts about him. How could he tolerate those who doubt him? What's more important is that the mountains ahead are covered with forests. As long as Yuan's army finds a mountain to ambush, we may not even have a counterattack. Since we want to fight, of course we have to find a place to let go."

"Young Master said," Chen Dao and Zhao Yun responded.

Cao Shu ordered Zhu Ao, "Transfer our military orders and immediately turn the direction and take a detour to Yecheng."

After waiting in the mountains and forests for a whole day, Guo Tu never received news that Cao Shu was about to pass by.

Just as I was anxious, a scout came up from the mountain.

The scout came to him. Before he could speak, Guo Tu couldn't help but ask, "Where has Cao Zi melted to?"

"Report to Mr. Guo, Cao Zirong was going to pass here, but for some reason, he suddenly led the guard to turn around." The scout replied.

After hearing what he said, Guo Tu was stunned for a moment.

He stood up and shouted: "No! Cao Zirong saw the young master's plan."

"Mr. Guo, what should I do?" The captain next to him asked Guo Tu quickly.

"Tell me the order and immediately lead the army to intercept it." Guo Tu shouted: "Cabinets go first, and the infantry will follow."

"Our cavalry only has more than 300 people." The captain said worriedly: "With this number of people, there is probably no possibility of stopping the Dragon Pattern Cavalry!"

"The situation is urgent, so how can we care about this?" Guo Tu said: "The cavalry first went first, just to stop Cao Zirong, not to fight him. As long as he could hold him back for a day, the infantry would be able to fight him later, and I was afraid that he would run away."

"I will take the cavalry here." The captain replied.

"You stay here and rush to help with the infantry." Guo Tu said: "It is only if I go in person to stop Cao Zirong."

The captain wanted to say something else, but Guo Tu shouted: "Listen to my orders and go down the mountain immediately."

Guo Tu led the army to leave the forest and headed towards the road where Cao Shuo was marching.

More than 300 cavalrymen followed Guo Tu and galloped all the way, afraid that Cao Shu would leave.

After he left the forest for more than an hour, the scout reported his movements to Cao Shu.

When he heard that Guo Tu only brought three hundred cavalry to pursue him, Cao Shu sighed and said, "Guo Tu is also a capable person. I didn't expect that in order to stop me, he would be so aggressive."

"We only brought more than 300 cavalrymen, what are we afraid of him?" Chen Dao said: "Please order the Dragon Pattern Cavalry must be good-looking."

"Although he only brought three hundred cavalry, our army was better prepared early." Cao Shuo said: "The soldiers followed me to fight for survival, not death. There is obviously a better way, so of course I will choose to wipe out them without having to kill a few people."

"What are the plans for the young master?" Zhao Yun asked.

"Zilong brings a hundred dragon pattern cavalry to leave first." Cao Shuo said: "I am setting up an ambush ten miles away from me. I will lead the team to walk slowly, waiting for Guo Tu to come."

"He should arrive in one hour after the distance." Zhao Yun asked, "Young Master wants me to leave first, should I intercept halfway or fight back?"

"Of course it's going back to fight." Cao Shu said: "Zilong, Shuzhi, you two remember. Although Guo Tu is good at flattering, this person is loyal to the Yuan family. I don't have the heart to kill someone like him. If you can capture the living, it's better to leave me a living mouth."

"Abide by the young master!" Zhao Yun and Chen Dao agreed together.

A moment later, Zhao Yun rode his horse with a hundred dragon patterns, while Cao Shu led the team forward at a slow speed.

When Guo Tu learned that Cao Shu had turned his direction, he led 300 cavalrymen to whip the horse, and only regretted that the war horse had few legs.

Nearly an hour, he saw a team moving slowly from afar.

The officer following Guo Tu shouted, "Mr. Guo, Cao Zirong is ahead. Should I kill him?"

Cao Shu turned around and obviously saw through Yuan Tan's intention to deal with him.

Knowing that it is impossible to deceive Cao Shu by fooling him, Guo Tu shouted: "Kill!"

Guo Tu rushed over with the cavalry and followed Chen Dao beside Cao Shuo and said, "Young Master, they are here!"

"One hour, although we were not going fast, we should have it in ten miles." Cao Shuo smiled slightly and asked Chen Dao: "You are you going to kill first, and you are waiting for Zilong?"
