Chapter 1391

"My lord, you should still eat something first," Zhang Liao would not give up, still insisting on persuading him.

Cao Cao's patience was exhausted; fierce light flashed in his eyes, and he roared: "Get out!"

Zhang Liao's body stiffened for a moment, and then he silently exited Cao Cao's tent. After Zhang Liao left, Cao Cao sighed long and slowly lay down, closing his eyes and saying no more.

Outside the Cao army camp, Gu Yi was riding on a tall horse, strolling leisurely.

During this period, he had fought battles with the allied forces of Yuan Shao, eliminating quite a few Cao troops and also capturing many prisoners. After these prisoners were captured, they were all locked up.

These prisoners were all elite soldiers and strong generals of Cao Cao's army; they all had high culture, and some were even descendants of famous families. Gu Yi planned to use them to train soldiers for himself and then expand his own sphere of influence.

Gu Yi's goal was very clear: to capture Hebei. He wanted to build his own power and become a new warlord.

Very quickly, Gu Yi retreated, fearing being noticed by the enemy, thereby bringing trouble to himself.

Not long after, he returned to his own camp.

"Brother Gu! Brother Gu!" At this time, Chen Gong suddenly flew over, shouting with an excited face.

Gu Yi was stunned for a moment and asked: "Kid, why are you so happy? Did you have some kind of strange encounter again?"

"No, it's because there's good news to tell Brother Gu," Chen Gong said with a grin, pulling Gu Yi into the tent.

"What good news?" Gu Yi asked curiously, his mood also becoming relaxed, as if he had forgotten his fatigue.

"Brother Gu, I found thirty-six talents; these talents all have superb martial arts. Among them, ten are good at archery, throwing, and fighting, five are good at mechanisms and traps, and four are good at medicine and pharmacy. They all have high potential; I want to recruit them and then train them," Chen Gong said excitedly.

After hearing Chen Gong's narration, Gu Yi's expression also became excited. He had not expected his luck to be so good; having just arrived in Jingzhou, he could harvest so many talents.

"Haha, good, since that's the case, then I will let them join your army," Gu Yi said with a laugh.

His current army lacked talents, and he was worrying about which power was more suitable; now, so many talents had been sent to him. These talents were all experts; with them joining his army, he believed his army would become even more powerful.

"Thank you, my lord," Chen Gong bowed and thanked him excitedly.

"You kid, don't just be happy, hurry up and arrange the people for me. I don't want them to waste time in my army," Gu Yi scolded with a smile.

"Yes! My lord, your subordinate will go and arrange it."

"Good!" Gu Yi nodded.

"My lord, your subordinate will go and arrange it, you rest for a while, drink some tea."

"Hmm." Gu Yi nodded.

A moment later, Chen Gong came before Gu Yi.

"My lord, this is the information on those five talents." He handed the information to Gu Yi.

Gu Yi took the information, scanned it a few times, and nodded with satisfaction. These five people were elites among elites, and their skills were all very formidable. Although they were all ordinary people, they were very brave and resourceful.

Gu Yi was very satisfied with these few talents and immediately let them go to report to Chen Gong.

"Chen Gong, I have entrusted the work of these five talents to you. I hope you can train enough soldiers within three days and then let them participate in the legion war."

"Yes!"

Chen Gong bowed and agreed.

"Good, then you go. I'm tired and need to rest," Gu Yi ordered.

"Yes!"

Chen Gong agreed and then turned to leave.

"Hehe, it seems my plan is going very smoothly," Gu Yi touched his chin, a smile appearing in his eyes.

The next morning, Gu Yi led his men and horses to travel south, preparing to scout the grain route of the Cao army and also scout Cao Cao's movements.

After several days of rushing, he finally arrived at Liu Zhang's old lair, which was Cao Cao's camp.

He looked at this majestic city before him, his heart filled with endless emotion.

This city occupied a vast area, the city walls were tall, and many defensive formations were arranged on the city walls.

Gu Yi did not approach rashly, but observed the situation of the camp.

The camp's guards were very strict; on the city walls, guards stood every few hundred paces. Near the city gate, many soldiers were patrolling, and their weapons were also very exquisite.

"Tsk tsk tsk, Liu Zhang is indeed worthy of being an ambitious hero; such city defense, even if it were me, I couldn't do it," Gu Yi praised.

Gu Yi thought carefully.

"If I could break through the city, I would inevitably be able to kill and injure quite a few of Cao Cao's soldiers; at that time, my army could also take the opportunity to enter the city and completely drive the Cao army out of Luoyang."

"But the defense of this camp is too strict; I cannot attack by force, I must take it by strategy!"

"My army has no archers, so I cannot ambush Liu Zhang's camp. If I could get archers, my chances of winning would be even greater."

Gu Yi pondered indecisively.

Just at this moment, Gu Yi suddenly saw many soldiers running in the distance; these soldiers wore black armor and held shields, their speed very fast, and in the blink of an eye, they ran far away.

"Could it be that they are..."

Thinking of this, this thought suddenly popped into Gu Yi's mind.

Gu Yi immediately spurred his horse to pursue.

Gu Yi's army had already left the scope of the main army, so it did not attract anyone's attention.

When Gu Yi's army crossed the scope of the main army, he discovered that those soldiers were running frantically toward the south, and very quickly ran into the jungle.

Gu Yi hurriedly spurred the precious horse under his crotch, accelerating his speed.

Not long after, Gu Yi caught up with those soldiers.

They were running frantically toward the south, their speed very fast.

These soldiers wore black armor and held long spears in their hands, their speed extremely fast; Gu Yi simply could not catch up.

"What's going on? Could it be that they want to escape?"

Thinking of this, Gu Yi immediately ordered the army to stop advancing and follow those soldiers.

Not long after, those soldiers came to the side of a mountain range.

Gu Yi immediately ordered the army to stop and let them hide.

He also followed and hid, secretly staring at those soldiers.

Only to see these soldiers come to the foot of the mountain, and then jump onto the cliff one after another, disappearing without a trace.

Seeing this, Gu Yi could not help but be extremely surprised, thinking to himself: "Could it be that that valley is where Cao Cao is located?"

Thinking of this, Gu Yi immediately turned his horse's head and galloped toward the valley.

This mountain range was very steep, and the surroundings were covered with dense trees, making it very difficult to travel. Moreover, many of the plants here were poisonous, so Gu Yi did not dare to touch the plants here randomly.
