Chapter 184
Cao Cao, Sun Jian, and Dong Zhuo all have their own ideas in their hearts, so the speed of the three marching is not slow.

Chi You led the main force of the Yellow Turbans in front, while Cao, Sun and Dong chased after them, and the distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer.

"How far is our army from the Yellow Turban now?" Dong Zhuo asked left and right during the march.

"General Qi, there are still less than twenty miles to go, as long as we pass through the dense forest in front, we can catch up soon."

It was said that both Dong Zhuo, Cao Cao and Sun Jian were all happy.After chasing for so long, it can be regarded as catching up.

"Order the whole army not to rest, to speed up and continue marching. In addition, the whole army should remain vigilant to prevent the enemy from setting up an ambush again." Cao Cao ordered decisively.

Although it seems that success is in sight, Cao Cao still maintains the vigilance he should have in his heart.

"promise."

In less than half an hour, Cao, Sun and Dong led the army to this dense forest.

"Slow down." Cao Cao, who was suspicious by nature, quickly stopped Dong Zhuo and Sun Jian who were eager to enter the forest.

"You two, this dense forest stretches for more than ten miles. We must not enter the forest rashly. Otherwise, if the Yellow Turban sets a big fire here, then our army..." Cao Cao said coldly.

Hearing this, Dong Zhuo and Sun Jian both reacted, and immediately took a breath.Just now, the two of them were too busy chasing quickly, they didn't observe the terrain carefully, and even ignored that this place is a dangerous place.

The two shuddered at the thought of how they would be plunged into the flames once they entered the forest.

You know, in terms of seniority, none of the three of them is above Li Xiang, but Li Xiang climbed to the top of them so quickly and became the general of Zhonglang, isn't it because of the fire in Jizhou back then.

That big fire directly buried the [-] Yellow Turban army.If it weren't for the big fire, maybe the situation of the battle hadn't changed so quickly.

Lessons from the past can be right in front of us.Therefore, after Cao Cao's reminder, Sun Jian and Dong Zhuo would naturally not insist on entering the forest.What's more, even if it is really a piece of iron, once it is caught in the sea of ​​fire, it will have to be melted.

"There are no flocks of birds circling over the forest, and the birds have all returned to the forest. It doesn't look like there is an ambush!" After careful observation, Sun Jian said with a little bit of relief.

Hearing Sun Jian's words, Cao Cao didn't have any reaction, but continued to say coldly, "Based on this alone, it cannot be concluded that there are really no ambushes here. After all, as long as there are not many ambushes in the forest, it is possible to deliberately create such an ambush." like."

Sun Jian didn't say much when he heard the words.After all, what Cao Cao said made sense.Moreover, there is no big mistake in being careful, once they are really caught, it will be too late to say anything.

"But I can't just be blocked by this small forest. Otherwise, if the delay is too long, the Yellow Turban will really run away."

Seeing that a great achievement is just around the corner, but their tens of thousands of troops were blocked by a forest and could not move forward or retreat.Dong Zhuo, who has always been irritable, said with a little impatience.

"How about this, how about setting up a small army of a few thousand people to test it first?" Cao Cao said coldly with a flash of light in his eyes.

Hearing this, Dong Zhuo and Sun Jian's hearts trembled.What Cao Cao said was to send thousands of people to test it out, but if the Yellow Turbans really had an ambush, and if a fire came and burned the forest, then these thousands of people would become abandoned children.Under the sea of ​​fire, how could these thousands of people still have half a life?
The few of them had been fighting side by side for a while, and seeing Cao Cao's kind face on weekdays, they thought they knew something about Cao Cao.But until today, the two of them really began to understand a little bit of Cao Cao.

The lives of thousands of people were thrown away just like that.At this time, both Dong Zhuo and Sun Jian couldn't help feeling a little jealous of Cao Cao.

"If this person is an enemy, he must be extremely careful in the future." Dong Zhuo and Sun Jian both sighed secretly in their hearts.

However, they didn't say much about Cao Cao's idea.After all, this is the most time-saving solution.What's more, there are only a few thousand people, and human life in this troubled world is the most worthless thing.

Soon, three thousand Han troops entered the forest under the leadership of a small school.

"Sure enough, the Han army didn't catch the trick, but the next step is the real start." Li Yan, who was lying in ambush after learning that the Han army had entered the forest, murmured to himself.

"Send the order down, let's start setting fire." Li Yan ordered immediately.

"promise."

Following Li Yan's order, nearly a thousand archers hidden in the forest immediately ignited their rockets and fired at the fire point arranged in advance.

Countless rockets crazily shot all over the woods, and the small woods turned into a sea of ​​flames in an instant.And the fate of the Han army who entered the forest at this time can be imagined.

Seeing that the forest had turned into a sea of ​​flames, Li Yan left without looking back.Li Yan's mission has been completed, and now it's time for Chi You to perform.That's where the yellow scarves really gave the Han army a big meal.

Outside the dense forest, looking at the dense forest that has turned into a sea of ​​flames, the three of Cao, Sun and Dong felt very lucky.Fortunately, they didn't rush in rashly, otherwise, they would be the ones struggling in the flames now.

"Hey! Now this place has turned into a sea of ​​flames. Judging from the situation, I'm afraid it won't burn out for the time being. Could it be that this time we really can't catch up with those yellow scarves?" Sun Jian said regretfully.

"Bring me the map." Cao Cao was obviously still unwilling to return without success, and wanted to find another chance.

Soon, a soldier was struggling to spread a meter-long map on the ground.

After staring at it for a long time, Cao Cao finally had a flash of light in his eyes. Then he laughed and said, "Hahaha, there is a way! Go here, and then pass through this valley, and you will definitely be able to catch up."

"Although this road is a long way around, there are so many people in the Yellow Turbans, the speed must not be fast. As long as we speed up and march, it will not be difficult to catch up with them!"

Hearing this, both Dong Zhuo and Sun Jian's eyes lit up.Immediately, both of them carefully observed the route planned by Cao Cao.Indeed, if Cao Cao does what he says, it is really possible to catch up with the Yellow Turban.

"Go and inform General Lu and General Li, and ask them to change their route and catch up quickly." Now that he had a solution, Dong Zhuo immediately ordered the left and right.

Without the support of the main force of the Han army behind, even if a few of them really caught up with the Yellow Turban, it would be nothing more than meat buns beating dogs, and there would be no return.With Dong Zhuo's shrewdness, he naturally had to notify the main force of the Han army in advance to ensure that the main force's support arrived in time.

"Let's go." Cao, Sun and Dong shouted in unison.

"promise."
