outside any city There are endless camps, with flags fluttering and flying in the wind.
Countless smoke rises in the camps, and wisps of white smoke float into the sky.
There are two white flags in the middle army.
There are four big characters in the letter: revenge.
A big flag with the word Cao is inserted in the middle of the two white flags, half way up.
This is where Cao Cao's army is encamped.
As the sun sets in the west, its golden afterglow adds solemnity to the endless camps.
As the setting sun slowly sets, the sky slowly becomes dim, which means that night is coming.
In the endless camps, torches and fire plates are lit everywhere, and every place is illuminated.
It lit up.
Step, step, step Suddenly, the soldiers guarding Cao Jun at the gate of the camp felt some slight vibrations in the earth, coming from far and near, and for a while, they all became vigilant.
"General, there is a group of more than a hundred cavalry in the distance, heading straight for the camp."
The soldiers on the watchtower on the left side of the camp gate shouted to the general at the camp gate.
"Whoever comes is a friend or an enemy."
"I don't know, that cavalry didn't carry any banner."
Hearing this, the general did not hesitate and shouted: "Put down the blocking pole, prepare for the battle, and go report it immediately."
He didn't know whether the person coming was a friend or an enemy, so some arrangements needed to be made.
Although he didn't believe anyone, he dared to brazenly attack the camp of hundreds of thousands of troops with more than a hundred cavalry, but he had to guard against it.
The soldiers at the camp gate also acted quickly due to the order of the general, carrying the horse-stopping poles placed on the left and right sides and placing them in front of the camp gate.
The soldiers holding spears stood behind the horse-blocking poles, with the spear points facing forward; the archers on both sides of the camp gate also nocked arrows and drew their bows, facing outside the camp; the generals also stood at the camp gate with their swords in hand. place, looking into the distance.
With this arrangement, if the more than a hundred cavalrymen came to attack the camp, a single attack would kill most of them outside the camp, and they would not even be able to get close to the camp.
All that was left was to watch.
What exactly do you want to do?
from time to time drive More than a hundred cavalry appeared in the eyes of the Cao Jun soldiers who were guarding the gate.
The leader was a young general in white robes and silver armor, followed by three generals, and finally a soldier in red uniforms and black armor.
Although they were all wearing weapons, they did not draw them out and just came straight towards the camp.
General Cao Jun also became a little nervous.
He held the left hand hanging on the hilt of the sword at his waist so tightly that you could see the veins.
However, the person who came had not yet rushed into the attack range, and he did not issue an attack. command. appeal However, when the more than a hundred cavalrymen were about to enter the shooting range of the archers, they all stopped.
They were still some distance away from the camp gate.
It was obvious that they were not here to start a fight.
"Who is coming?"
the gatekeeper shouted.
When he saw more than a hundred cavalry parked outside, he understood that these people were not here to start a war, so it was something else.
However, he still needed to understand why these people came.
"I am Liu Qi from Jingzhou.
Please go and report to your lord as soon as possible.
Tell Liu Qi from Jingzhou to come and visit."
These more than a hundred cavalrymen were none other than Liu Qi and his party.
"You wait outside first," Pian Jiang shouted.
Immediately, he gave instructions to a soldier behind him and waved the soldier to run to the main tent at the back to report that he had also heard of Liu Qi.
After all, Jingzhou has undergone many changes, and Jingzhou is now under Liu Qi's control. within control.
Although he didn't understand why Liu Qi appeared here in person, it wasn't something he needed to care about.
As long as Liu Qi didn't come to attack the camp, the rest could only be left to the people above to handle.
Seeing that he was being biased, he sent someone to report.

Liu Qi didn't say anything more, nor did he lead anyone closer.
It would be bad if it caused a misunderstanding.
What's more, he came here just to persuade Cao Cao to retreat, not to talk to Cao Cao.
Starting a war.
"My lord, it seems that Cao Cao has many capable men under his command.
The Qingzhou Army consists of 300,000 men.
They were originally remnants of the Yellow Turbans.
After being absorbed by Cao Cao, they were renamed the Qingzhou Army.
Now they are well-trained, disciplined, and well-organized.
There are also rules," Zhao Yun sighed.
Wei Yan also nodded.
As a brave and resourceful general, he could also see the difference.
Each camp relied on each other.
If someone attacked the camp, unless more than half of the troops and horses were present, they would only be surrounded.
Which eliminates.
Moreover, these Yellow Turbans, who had little combat effectiveness before, are now full of energy.
As soon as their group appeared, the arrangements made after that were already different from the past.
"Under Cao Mengde, the counselors include Xi Zhicai, Xun Yu and others; the generals include Xiahou Dun, Xia Houyuan, etc.; plus the 300,000 Qingzhou Army that he has conquered, it is normal to have the power it has today," Liu Qi nodded.
His eyes were also looking at the endless camps in front of him, and he was secretly comparing in his heart.
If Cao Cao went to war with him now, most of them would only be defeated.
The counselors and generals under his command are no worse than Cao Cao's, and there are still two states, but the difference in military strength is too big, and there is no certainty.
Now the only difference he has is time.
As long as he has enough time, he will be able to fight.
Although the gatekeeper knew that Liu Qi was not coming to attack the camp, he did not relax his vigilance.
The horse-stopping pole did not retract, and the soldiers were still on the defensive.
He saw Liu Qi and others talking, but they were a little far away and they were talking in a low voice, so they didn't hear it.
However, as long as Liu Qi and his group didn't make any overstep, then it wasn't something he needed to pay attention to.
He would wait for the person who reported it to come back and reply.
Just fine. soon There was a group of people in the camp, surrounded by one person, walking towards the gate of the camp.
Seeing this, Liu Qi and others also stopped talking, and the real owner appeared.
"Lord" the gatekeeper bowed and saluted.
It was Cao Cao and others who came out of the camp.
The leader, Cao Cao, waved his hand and asked the generals to step aside.
Then he walked out of the camp gate, looked at Liu Qi sitting on the horse, and said, "I didn't believe it when I heard the announcement: Brother Liu Xian is here.
When I came out, Look, it’s true.”
"Brother Meng De, it's been a long time since we last saw each other.
I heard that Brother Meng De was in Xuzhou, so I came here to visit," Liu Qi said with cupped hands.
He didn't beat around the bush and said it directly.
Cao Cao would definitely be able to understand what he meant and what his purpose was.
Cao Cao's eyes narrowed, and then he smiled and said: "Brother Liu Xian, how about you come into the tent and talk about it?"
"Being respectful is worse than obeying orders," Liu Qi said without refusing.
Cao Cao also asked the soldiers guarding the entrance of the camp to retreat, moved the horse-blocking poles away, and allowed Liu Qi and others to enter the camp.
Liu Qi did not hesitate, led Zhao Yun and others into Cao's camp, dismounted, and followed Cao Cao to the camp
