"General, are you... asking me?" Huo Nu was a little uncertain.

Sima Yi smiled, "I am not a general yet... I just join the army... I am asking you, have you seen the problem with Cao's army?"

Shocked! Sima Yi is good at being a teacher?

In fact, it was not, but Sima Yi found that during this trip to Hedong, he found that there were too few people under his command who could use it.

The Sima family's private soldiers are indeed good and have strong loyalty, but it is useless to be loyal. Compared with the military academy of soldiers and military trained under the cavalry, it is still a lot worse. Therefore, Sima Yi wants to make some good relationships, and may not necessarily use them at any time. When you meet someone who is willing to study and improve, you can just give some advice. It will not take much effort and get some good impressions. Why not do it?

After hearing this, Huo Nu quickly turned his head, continued to hold up the telescope, and tried hard to observe.

After a while, Huo Nu seemed to see something, put down the telescope, then looked up at the sky, and said to Sima Yi with some hesitation: "It seems... it's a little slower...

"Yes, it's slow." Sima Yi nodded, reached out to take back the telescope, and stared at Cao Hong's camp in the distance.

Generally speaking, it is only possible to march for a long time, and then camping in the afternoon. Otherwise, when night comes, soldiers will not be able to rest in the camp.

However, Cao Hong was "slow" and it was obvious.

Huo Nuba smacked his lips, "At this speed, I guess I can't set up the camp at night... Since that's the case, is it possible...?"

Sima Yi still laughed, then nodded and shook his head again.

...

...

In Cao Hong's camp, Zhang Xi was also laughing.

It's just a sneaky smile.

I dare not smile bitterly in front of Cao Hong.

A military academy who was usually close to Zhang Xi came to Zhang Xi and asked in a low voice: "General Cao...what is wrong?"

"Nothing." Zhang Xi sighed.

The military academy couldn't help but be stunned, "I asked General Cao how he was, why did you sigh?"

Zhang Xi shook his head and smiled bitterly and said in a low voice, "I don't hide it from you... You also fought with the Cavalry Army back then... Now we are in the belly of the Cavalry Army, around..."

Zhang Xi tried hard to visit the surroundings, but the snow was long and he could not see anything. "I can't say that the cavalry army will be around... and we can't build the camp now... You said, can I laugh if I don't sigh?"

The military academy secretly pointed at Cao Hong's back, "That General Cao..."

"General Cao... General Cao has a grudge against the defenders here..." Zhang Xi whispered.

『General Cao has a grudge, but we have no grudge with the general…』 The military academy muttered, 『This weather... I still have to set up an ambush, I am afraid that if the cavalry and horses did not come, we would freeze to death by ourselves, and we would not need the cavalry and horses to do it…』

"Shh! Be careful!" Zhang Xi pointed to the military academy, "This is the words of a chaotic army."

The military academy also sighed, and after a moment, he whispered, "In this kind of weather, even if we can defeat the Cavalry Army... I'm afraid that many of us will die... After this battle, even if we win, what will we win? If the Cavalrymen run away, we don't have enough war horses and we can't catch up..."

"Well..." Zhang Xi was silent. He didn't want to answer this question because he couldn't answer it at all.

"Minister, give me a good word... How much do you think we will win this time?" the military academy asked, pulling Zhang Xi's sleeve.

Zhang Xi turned his head and looked at the military academy, then looked around and said, "How do I know this...?"

"Just say a little bit, guess...

Zhang Xi shook his head, "It's hard to say, it's hard to say... Go to work, stop muttering, be careful that General Cao will be in trouble when he sees you..."

The military academy left helplessly and slightly frustrated.

Zhang Xi took a breath and then slowly exhaled.

The white smoke quickly dissipated in the wind, like a dissipation of hope.

The soldiers in the middle and lower levels of Cao's army were either ruthless, righteous, flesh-and-fate war machines. They would also feel the changes of the times and the steep situation. As the soldiers in the middle and lower levels of Cao's army who had fought with the Cavalry Army, when they faced the Cavalry Army, they had long lost the confidence to surround Henan and Hebei.

This kind of confidence may not be seen in normal times, but it is very critical at some moments.

...

...

In the evening, scouts from both sides carried out a small-scale scout war in the wilderness. Both sides tried hard to prevent the other side from investigating, but in fact, the scouts of Cao's army were completely defeated.

Because Cao Jun did not have a telescope.

In this weather, without the blessing of a telescope, the vision was actually very poorly suppressed. The Cao army scouts thought they had successfully blocked the snooping of the Hussars, but in fact, it was just the Cao army scouts unilaterally thought they had succeeded.

Cao's army scouts returned and said that they did not find Sima Yi's troops.

Cao Hong heard this and refused to comment.

That's right, after hearing about Sima Yi's movements, Cao Hong didn't know whether it was his sixth sense as a general or some other reason. He felt that Sima Yi was close to him and was always peeking at him.

Even though Cao's scout reported that he did not find it...

Not finding it does not mean there is really nothing.

Cao Hong firmly believed it.

In addition to his hatred for Sima Yi, there is another very important reason that Cao Hong understands that in such weather, the party that launches the attack will bear more risks.

For example, if he wants to attack the defending troops in Zhang Yangchi, then he not only has to set out from the camp during the day, step on the snow in the wind and trek in twenty to thirty miles to attack. If the attack goes well, everything will be easy, but if the attack fails, then he will have to walk twenty or thirty miles before dark to return to his camp.

Moreover, there is another very serious problem, that is, the cavalry is a cavalry unit. Therefore, during the process of Cao Hong's march or withdrawing, he must be careful that the cavalry and horses would rush out at any time...

The hard land made it difficult for Cao's army to dig trenches and set up camps.

The defense system of the camp is naturally much simpler.

Compared with Cao's army, the cavalry army relied on local counties to defend, and the wood and materials needed would be much more abundant, while Cao's army could only log on site and work hard.

So, Cao Hong wanted to do it once and for all.

If...
