Chapter 25 The Wolf and the Sheep

In the morning, the sun rises.

On the slopes of Pocket Valley there was a resounding sound of chant.

"One, two, three, work harder~"

"Two two three, hey hey hey~"

Nearly a hundred soldiers were naked from the upper body, showing their strong chest muscles. Although it was only early in the morning, they were already sweating.Every group of ten people has a long load on their shoulders, carrying hundreds of catties of feldspar or round stone, and is transporting them to the top of the valley.

Around the valley, the sound of axes hitting trees is also one after another.

After Hou Cheng felled a big withered tree with an axe, he wiped the sweat from his brow, panted slightly while holding the axe, and could only hear the surrounding soldiers grinning wildly.

"The firewood that has been cut in the past few days alone is hundreds of catties, and there is still more to be cut. Soldiers don't fight, and they start doing farmer's work instead!"

"Don't complain. Just look at the people who carry the boulders. They carry them from morning to night. They may have lifted a lot. If you let you chop firewood, you can have fun!"

"I can't fucking figure it out. I've been fighting for so many years, and I've never heard of a Xianbei being able to kill a Xianbei by chopping firewood and moving stones."

"Isn't that right? Donkey Grass' acting skills are so fucking stupid!"

It was one thing for these soldiers to chat and fart, but their movements did not stop in the slightest. They swished and swished their axes and became lumberjacks.

The sun is gradually rising to the sky, but fortunately, it is an April day, the sun is not harsh, and it is still warm on people's bodies.

Cao Xing's injury has not healed, but he is able to walk on the ground, but he cannot do strenuous exercise.At this moment, he was lying on the grass, basking in the sun very comfortably.

"Hey, Song Manzi, you have to work hard, where is your normal strength?"

"Hou Cheng, don't stick around, pick up the ax and swing hard."

"And so and so..."

Cao Xing was also on the sidelines, following the command in full swing, spit flying straight.

"Captain Cao seems to have healed from his injuries. It just so happens that Marquis Lu Jun and his team are still short of one person."

Xi Ce walked up to Cao Xing at some point, with a smile on his lips, and his face was not as pale as it was at the beginning.

Naturally, Cao Xing knew that Xi Ce was joking with him, so he turned his head and asked with a smile on his face, "Xi Ce, you are so blatant to let us log and carry stones here, you are not afraid that the Xianbei people will suddenly An attack?"

Xi Ce glanced at the tall man who went to lift the stone himself, then sat down beside Cao Xing, and said casually: "Mayi is only a day away from Nao County, but most of the troops led by Ha Chihu They are all infantry, and their marching speed is relatively slow. In addition, they are short of food and grass. They will definitely wait for the food transport troops from Yunzhong County to arrive before attacking Nao County. I calculated the time, and it will probably be this afternoon The last moment of application."

"It's no wonder that kid Wei Musheng led people to run towards Mayi every now and then. I understand."

Cao Xing suddenly realized, and subconsciously said towards the play: "You guys, uh, these scholars are really, very sinister."

For scholars, Cao Xing habitually wanted to swear as "a dog", but he swallowed the words back.Lu Bu had issued an order a few days ago that one must not speak harshly about the plot, and those who disobeyed the order would have to fight thirty.

Fortunately, I am clever, otherwise the Thirty Military Sticks would definitely not be able to escape.

Cao Xing silently praised himself in his heart.

Xi Ce stood up, beckoned to Zhang Liao not far away, and when Zhang Liao approached, he ordered: "Go and tell Lu Junhou, it's almost there."

Zhang Liao took the order and ran straight to Lu Bu.

Xi Ce looked at Zhang Liao's running figure and smiled.He likes Zhang Liao very much, he is extremely talented and has a calm temperament. If he is given 20 years to develop, he will definitely become a famous general.

After Zhang Liao and Lu Bu returned to the camp that day, Lu Bu arranged a tent for him casually, and Zhang Liao did not refuse.

The old bastards in the camp quit, and a kid with no hair yet grew up lived with them. Isn't this a deliberate attempt to alienate them?

So someone made fun of Zhang Liao and told him to go home and drink milk.

Then, Zhang Liao beat up these bastards one by one.After that, no one dared to call Zhang Liao a brat.

An hour later, Lu Bu and the others changed into their military uniforms and went to the big tent to discuss matters.

There are eleven people in the big tent, seven centurions, three military lords, and one military commander.Although Lu Bu is only one of the military lords, he is also the temporary leader of this army.

Lu Bu went out of the tent and personally greeted the play plan to the commander.

When the other people saw that Joce was going to take the position of the coach, they all had gloomy faces, and some even stood up with a hot temper, and said to Lu Bu: "Boss Lu, you asked us to cut trees, collect firewood, and pick stones. There is no second word, but if you insist on letting this skinny guy sit in the position of coach, I, Chen Brown, will be the first to disagree!"

"Yes, what Mr. Chen said makes sense."

"That's right, why should this kid take the position of coach!"

As soon as Chen Brown finished speaking, he got everyone's support.

When this situation happened, Lu Bu's face was not very good-looking, neither advancing nor retreating.

Only the joke turned a deaf ear and smiled at everyone, "My lords, do you still want to avenge Mayi?"

think!Of course I want to!
No one here wants to smash the Xianbei people into pieces, but just thinking is enough. War depends on strength, not fantasy.

"If I can help you avenge, I wonder if I am qualified to sit in this position?" Xie Ce asked again, the smile on his face unchanged.

Chen Brown, who was the most irritable, was the first to speak, and said loudly: "If you can help us avenge, don't just sit here, it's fine for me to kowtow to you every day."

Xi Ce touched his chin, "Then let's make a bet, if I can't help you avenge, how about you taking my head off?"

"Okay, I bet with you!"

"Tell me, how to do it!"

As soon as everyone heard Xi Ce let go of his words, they all agreed loudly, which was considered to be a temporary acquiescence to Xi Ce's words.

Lu Bu said urgently, "Sir, don't..."

Xi Ce stretched out his hand to stop Lu Bu's words, lifted the hem of his clothes, knelt down slowly, picked up the command arrow in the bamboo tube, and began to give orders.

"Song Xian, I will make you the vanguard, lead a hundred riders, and go to intercept Ha Chihu this afternoon at Shenshi. As long as you lose, you must lead him to the Pocket Valley."

"Take orders!" Song Xian stood up, clasped his fists and replied in a deep voice.

"Lu Bu, you lead fifty cavalry to reinforce Song Xian in the middle of the road. Don't love to fight, just speak out to provoke Ha Chifu."

Lu Bu stepped forward to take the command arrow and nodded, "Lu Bu takes the order!"

"Chen Brown, Xu Yue, each of you lead 50 people to ambush around the top of the valley, let go of the Xianbei front army, and when the whole army enters the valley, push down the prepared stones and completely seal the exit."

"Take orders!" Chen Brown and another man stood up and replied.

"The rest of you, just lead people to arrange kerosene and other flammable things in the valley, and then put all the soldiers in ambush around the top of the valley."

The rest of the people responded loudly.

Xi Ce stretched out two fingers and pointed at the Pocket Valley on the map behind him, "Tonight, we will let the Xianbei people see who is the wolf and who is the sheep!"
