Chapter 1306

~6 min read 1,158 words

Gu Yi looked in the direction of Cao Cao's army, pondered for a moment, and said: "Didn't Cao Cao say they have already sent people to mobilize troops to support? We just need to wait now."

"Big Brother, aren't we going to sneak attack their camp?"

Gu Yi shook his head and said: "No, if we go now, we will only have a dead end. Since Cao Cao dares to send troops, he will definitely make sufficient preparations; at that time, we will be no match for them at all."

"That is true; we can only wait for their reinforcements to arrive before we have a chance to sneak attack Cao Cao's camp." Chen Gong said.

"Big Brother, what plan do you have?"

"Let's wait and see for now." Gu Yi pondered.

Cao Cao's camp was on the east side of the gorge, two or three thousand miles away from their army. They had to take a detour.

"Soldiers, let's continue moving forward!"

"Understood!"

Gu Yi led the army to continue moving forward. In front of them was a high mountain; the west side of the mountain range was Cao Cao's camp, and the east side was Lu Bu's camp.

"Big Brother, I feel like Cao Cao seems to know we are going to attack his camp, so he has the army on high alert and does not allow anyone to approach his camp." Chen Gong looked at Cao Cao in the distance, his brows locked tightly.

"They must have their reasons for doing this, or they are indeed waiting for reinforcements to arrive, otherwise their camp would not need to be arranged so rigorously."

"If I guess correctly, they are likely waiting for reinforcements to arrive so they can annihilate us entirely!"

"Big Brother, what should we do?"

Gu Yi stroked his chin, his mind spinning rapidly.

"We will wait first; it won't be too late to act when the reinforcements arrive!"

"Good!"

Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, four days had passed.

Cao Cao's army was getting closer and closer to them, and Gu Yi also gradually discovered Cao Cao's arrangements.

He looked at Cao Cao's camp in the distance, and the corners of his mouth outlined a strange arc.

"Chen Gong, go and make arrangements; our grain and fodder should be ready."

"Understood!"

Chen Gong responded and went to make arrangements.

Gu Yi watched the army slowly approaching him, and infinite heroism surged in his heart.

He believed that as long as they could break through Cao Cao's camp, then Cao Cao's army would no longer be able to block their footsteps.

"Big Brother, ahead is Cao Cao's camp; it will only take five or six days for their grain and fodder to be consumed." Zhao Yun stood beside Gu Yi and said excitedly.

Their grain storage was enough for them to eat for three years, and they had twice the strength of the opponent, so they would be able to easily take down Cao Cao at that time.

"Hmm!"

Gu Yi nodded slightly and said: "Let's not be in a hurry; I want Cao Cao to understand that we are not to be trifled with!"

"Big Brother, you mean..." Zhao Yun's eyes flashed with essence, as if he had guessed something.

Gu Yi nodded slightly and said: "That's right, we are deliberately slowing down our pace, waiting for Cao Cao's army to come over."

"Good, I like this way of fighting, letting Cao Cao's army come to die!" Zhao Yun said excitedly.

During this period, although they kept attacking Cao Cao's grain and fodder, they were all repelled by the opponent. They had long been filled with anger and only wished they could find Cao Cao and smash him into ten thousand pieces.

"Big Brother, are we setting off now?"

"Not in a hurry!" Gu Yi shook his head.

"Why?" Zhao Yun asked suspiciously.

"Now is not the time to set off; wait until their army arrives, then we will sneak attack and slaughter them all!"

"Good, I understand."

Gu Yi gave a few instructions and then rode the Black Dragon Steed away from the spot.

Cao Cao's army moved very fast, taking only three days to reach the front of the gorge.

"General, they are actually camping here!" the scout reported.

Cao Cao narrowed his eyes, looked at the situation in the gorge, was silent for a moment, and said: "You continue to ambush; wait for their reinforcements to arrive, then strike. Remember, you must capture that general alive!"

"Understood!"

The scout responded and hurriedly went down to make arrangements.

Cao Cao took a deep breath; he knew Gu Yi must be nearby, and he had already vaguely sensed Gu Yi's position. But he dared not be sure; he was afraid this was Gu Yi's plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain.

"Someone, search the surroundings of the gorge carefully; you must capture Gu Yi and take him alive!" Cao Cao said coldly.

"Yes!"

Cao Cao's army divided into two parts; one part remained to guard the surroundings of the gorge, and the other rushed toward the interior of the gorge.

"Haha, come on!"

"Let you taste the power of this King!"

Cao Cao's army divided into two parts, charging toward both ends of the gorge respectively. The middle of the gorge was empty, without any cover, which just happened to facilitate the movement of their army.

"General, they have entered our ambush circle!" the scout reported.

"Very good!" Cao Cao laughed with satisfaction.

"General, when shall we act?"

"Wait a little longer; wait until their soldiers are all exhausted, then we will act!" Cao Cao said with a smile.

"Understood!"

Time passed for another four or five days.

Cao Cao's army had already arrived in front of the gorge, but their army still had not discovered any enemies.

Suspicion arose in Cao Cao's heart, and his expression turned gloomy.

"Pass the order down: have the soldiers speed up; you must reach the destination as soon as possible!"

"Understood!"

"Pass the order down: have the soldiers prepare for defense; no matter how the enemy attacks, you must persist until the reinforcements arrive!"

"Understood!"

"Pass the order down again: have the soldiers make preparations; as soon as the reinforcements arrive, counterattack immediately!"

These orders were passed throughout Cao Cao's camp by fast horses.

In Cao Cao's camp, everyone was discussing heatedly.

"General, look, their army doesn't seem to have entered our ambush circle."

"Could it be because our army is too large that they didn't discover our existence?"

"But why don't they attack us?"

"This question should be asked of the General."

Cao Cao heard the discussion of the crowd, his expression was terrifyingly gloomy, and cold light flashed in his eyes.

"Hmph!"

"Do you think they are fools? I think this time they are deliberately luring us into the trap!" Cao Cao said coldly. ===== CHAPTER 1307 =====
