The night was as deep as water, and a dark cloud floated from the west at some point. It blocked the crescent moon in the sky, and the morning light had not yet arrived, the morning mist dispersed, and the sky and the earth were pitch black.

At this moment, the torches on the wilderness, like ghost fire, have become the best signposts.

"Those guys are just stupid guys who chased us all the way, right? How long have you been beating?" Old Taoist Lin Qingping pointed to the photographer who was fighting hard with Lin Town and asked the Han soldiers beside him.

"It has been two hours of fighting." The Han soldier hurriedly returned.

"Will there be an enemy coming to Longyang?" The old Taoist turned to Li Daben.

"The detective cavalry has been sent to check it out, and no enemy troops have appeared within thirty miles." Li Daben said.

"Where is Xiahou Junjie?" the old Taoist asked again.

"There is no movement, and somehow I still delayed and refused to save me." Li Daben hesitated.

"This needs to be wary of, but he can be as safe as Mount Tai, but we can't stand it and die. Brothers, we have watched the fun for a long time. I'll hit them hard from behind, smear them in the chaos and make money, and rush!" The old Taoist could still maintain a righteous face at first, but then he screamed strangely, which made the little Taoist Hao Qingyuan beside him smack his tongue.

However, this greatly inspired the fighting spirit of these Han soldiers. A group of people had already prepared. The Han soldiers pretending to be Gaul Light Cavalry had already changed back to their original equipment. Jing Zhan's men now wanted to rush in immediately. The boss of his family was inside, so there was no reason not to be in a hurry. At this moment, he heard the old Taoist's harsh words, and felt it was particularly beautiful and reasonable, and immediately rushed to the sparks in the dark.

"What sound? Could it be the army of the Moon Knight? Can't it be so fast?" Campbell, who was in the back formation, heard a sound of horse hooves coming from behind.

"It's a Han soldier!" Campbell turned around and saw the other party's outfit clearly with the other party's torch.

But at this moment, it was too late to react, so I had to shout, "The Third Xianbei Regiment will leave a blocking force, and the rest will move westward, so don't fight."

It was not Campbell's timid. In this way, both the offensive and defense and Linzhen had already tried their best. But at first glance, thousands of Han soldiers and cavalry suddenly rushed up from behind. If he was still entangled with the Benlei Army, if he delayed for a while, he would probably not be able to escape.

The last weight on the winning and losing scale has been put down, and Campbell is powerless to turn the world around.

Fortunately, the two thousand Xianbei cavalry on the periphery were still on the periphery, and when they saw the Han soldiers rushing to the periphery, they were not afraid, and immediately waved their scimitars to meet them.

But the Han soldiers won suddenly, and the Western coalition lost unexpectedly. Soon, more than 2,000 cavalry and Han soldiers under Lao Dao and Jing Zhan killed the blocking Xianbei cavalry, but Campbell had already taken the remaining Western coalition to the north and broke out in panic.

"These bastards can run fast." The old Taoist curled his lips and told the Han soldiers not to pursue them and to prepare to enter the city.

"Bastard, why didn't the scouts who were monitoring the Benlei Army in the north of Helin Town give a warning?" Campbell ran wildly while cursing. He thought it was reinforcements sent by Xiahou Junjie.

But he never expected that the Han soldier was chased by him and ran around. Finally, he disappeared from the old Taoist and others under his nose, as well as Jing Zhan's men who had been lurking nearby.

One came south and the other went north, and went north and went north. The Western Allied Forces scouts responsible for monitoring the south of Helin Town were of course touched under their noses without even notice.

~~~~~~~~

On the morning of April 15, the first year of the Empire, Helin Town, Anyang Prefecture, Central and Southern Province of the Empire.

"Cao Lan, you are doing well and you are very handsome." The old Taoist grinned and smiled at Cao Lan's thief.

At this moment, Cao Lan looked at the old Taoist in shock, with a rosy expression on his face, as if he was still drunk, and shook his head repeatedly and nodded frequently.

This embarrassed look fell into everyone's mouth, and everyone was surprised. Is this the proud Cao Qinglin?

"Lin...Master Lin..." Cao Lan suddenly realized that his ambitions were still so irrelevant in front of this seemingly sloppy Taoist priest.

"What, do you still remember me? Tsk tsk. I thought you forgot me as a master..." The old Taoist curled his lips in dissatisfaction.

"Master? Brother Dao, hurry up. Do you say you are Master Cao's master?" Ling Yun interrupted the old Taoist and said strangely.

"Yes, if you don't believe me, please ask him." The old Taoist pointed at Cao Lan, and Cao Lan's face became even more rosy.

"Well, when I was in the imperial capital, Master Zeng Menglin taught swordsmanship and military strategy instead of his master, but Master Lin's virtuous master did not make this statement clear at that time..." Cao Lan said helplessly.

"Oh." Everyone looked at the old Taoist. Cao Lan said tactfully, but the meaning was very clear. You, Old Taoist Lin, are just teaching martial arts on behalf of your master. At most, he is a senior brother.

Taoist Hao Qingyuan nodded with a stern face and said to himself: "Master Lin likes to accept others as his disciples. Didn't he want to be my brother's master in the valley that day? It seems that he is old and lonely and needs someone to accompany him."

If the old Taoist knew that Hao Qingyuan thought this way, he would not only not be grateful for his understanding, but he would probably go wild immediately - which old man is lonely?

Jing Zhan looked at Cao Lan with interest. At this moment, he finally understood where Cao Lan's quick and feminine sword technique came from. It turned out that feeling had been experienced by Lin Qingping, and Jing Zhan felt that the sword technique was quite suitable for him. At least, he should be more suitable for practicing such sword technique than Cao Lan, who looks very rough and generous, right?

The old Taoist tilted his face and shook his head hatred: "I told you that this kid doesn't know how to respect the elders. No matter what I say, I will have the ability to pass on his skills..."

"Lan dares not forget the kindness of Taoist priest. Without this martial arts and military tactics, Cao Lan is afraid that he will be in the imperial capital today." Cao Lan suddenly bowed and said.

"Okay, okay, I'll just say it. See if you have a conscience." Cao Lan was polite, but the old Taoist looked a little bit disgusted, which made others laugh, but they all knew that the old Taoist was a guy with a sharp tongue and a slander.

"Master, why are you with them..." Cao Lan looked at the general of Kuanglan Army in front of him.

"Well, Qinglin, do you remember what my master said to you?" Old Dao Lin suddenly said seriously.

"Well, remember, can you..." Cao Lan glanced at the old Taoist, and saw the other party nodding, there was no hesitation in his eyes.

He immediately turned to Jing Zhan and said, "My achievements today are all given by Taoist priests and wise masters. Since the Kuanglan Army has something to do with me, Cao Qinglin, please ask General Jing Zhan to speak."

"I am just the commander of the first battalion, please don't be polite to the Cao Army." Jing Zhan's expression remained unchanged, but he changed his name and stared at Cao Lan.

"Qinglin, you don't have to underestimate yourself. I will tell you that there is no need to be psychologically burdened. As long as Xiahou Junjie doesn't move us, we will definitely not attack Ben Lei Jun. Even if there is any mistake in the end, you don't have to participate. I will definitely protect you from being in good condition." The old Taoist smiled.

"Actually, Brother Cao, you really don't have to have any burden. Even if you leave Ben Lei Jun now, it's not unrighteous." Guan Xinpeng suddenly interrupted. He naturally knew Cao Lan's psychology. People with such a proud personality were most afraid of being unfaithful.

"Why is this?" Cao Lan said strangely.

"Brother, do you know why Xiahou Junjie took a fancy to you that day and promoted you all the way?" Guan Xinpeng asked.

"Why?" Cao Lan asked.

"That day, Xiahou Minde told me after drinking that Xiahou Junjie was interested in your martial arts that day, but he also liked the direct descendants you brought. You had a lot of prestige in the military academy that day. As soon as you came to the Lei Army, more than a dozen talents followed him. Moreover, you were able to train troops and control a group of soldiers within half a year. At that time, Xiahou Junjie had already regretted it, but he didn't want to miss you, so he had to transfer you out of the group. He wanted to undermine you, but he didn't think that you would practice troops all the way, up and down.

Everyone praised it, and this is why the first cavalry division of the Benlei Army was famous. But Xiahou Junjie has been trying to control your direct lineage for so many years. Over the years, he has dressed up his subordinates who come with you and transferred them to other places. Now your subordinates can only control these two thousand people, right? And even so, he is not at ease with you, because you have always been a little ignorant of your progress, so that you have kept your troops here today, but took most of the elites away and asked me to monitor your movements," said Guan Xinpeng.

"Oh, I always thought I had done something wrong, so I let those old brothers abandon me one after another. Now the Xiahou Legion has not sent troops to save me. It seems that it is hidden that my subordinates and the enemy are both defeated, so as to seize my military power. Anyway, I have done my best..." Cao Lan connected the links together, and knew that what Guan Xinpeng said was not false, and said coldly.

"What happened this?" Roland was somewhat surprised to see that the old Taoist and Cao Lan were actually old acquaintances.

"Sister Roland, come here, I'll tell you." Ling Yun thought for a while. She had vaguely felt that Cao Lan's position was just like Guan Xinpeng's position, and it was also arranged by some forces long ago, or in other words, everything today began with the battle of Dragon City overseas. Many people had already foresaw.

Among the few people, Guan Xinpeng and Roland were still a little unclear, but Jing Zhan always used his own eyes to observe. As for the old Taoist, how many secrets do he have, who seems to be sloppy?

"Now the Xiahou Legion probably has begun to attack Anyang Mansion, so I don't care about my place." Cao Lan looked at his pocket watch.

"Not necessarily, I think that even if Xiahou Junjie has started to attack Anyang Prefecture, he should get the news that the Ars army is coming. If he is him, he will definitely send an army to find out the news with Lin Town. As long as Helin Town is protected, even if the Ars army can see the city of Anyang Prefecture, it will be difficult for him to move forward. Moreover, Lord Cao, if Xiahou Junjie sent someone early in the morning, it would definitely be coming for your military power." Ling Yun suddenly laughed.

At this moment, after learning about Als' dispatch, Jing Zhan and the others no longer need to risk the Western coalition to stop the Benlei Army from siegeing the city. Now they only need to stabilize Cao Lan, even if they have achieved their goal. Now, the situation in the Central and Southern Provinces is already in chaos, and Xiahou Junjie will definitely not be able to take advantage of the situation. This can be regarded as achieving the goal of the day.

However, Ars abandoned Long Yang so easily and showed up, but it was still a little beyond everyone's expectations. Even the old Taoist who was pursued very closely along the way still doubted Ars's real purpose.
