Liu Bei nodded and said: "Third brother, don't worry, as the so-called soldiers and horses go first before the grain and grass are moved, our army must carry out unified scheduling, and there are still more than 20 days before the kings of the world meet the Son of Heaven in the Guandu Dynasty, and we have enough time to arrive at Guandu." ”

Xu Shao said: "Since the king has decided to send troops, please be prepared, I heard that Sun Jian of Jiangdong is training a naval army in Peng Lizeli, Jiangxia is a barrier to block Jiangdong, and reasonable arrangements must be made." ”

Liu Bei said: "Jiangxia has been handed over to Hu Xi and Tian Yu to guard together, these two people have one article and one martial arts, and there has never been any difference in the past two years, and Jiangxia has the strongest naval army in the world, don't worry about anything." Strategist, this time you also accompany you, first prepare enough food and grass, this king has a hunch that an unprecedented war will break out in Guandu......"

"No!"

After that, Liu Bei sent an order to Guan Yu in Nanyang, ordering Guan Yu to gather Nanyang's troops and prepare to send troops with him to Guandu, and handed over Xiangyang's troops to Zhang Fei and Yan Yan respectively.

…

The lightning failed to tear through the heavy clouds, and after the thunder rolled through the low clouds, the torrential rain fell down overwhelmingly. Rain, summer showers, is falling with a bang. Night, dark and gloomy night, with no fire in sight.

Lin Nan rode a horse and galloped in the torrential rain, followed by Wei Yan, Pang De, Chen Dao, and Guan Hai, looking at a ruined temple in the distance, he shouted with joy: "Generals! Looks like we're going to spend the night here tonight! ”

Wei Yan, Pang De, Chen Dao, and Guan Hai all laughed, and said in unison: "The lord will rest for a while, and I will wait to find out!" ”

Lin Nan said conceitedly: "No need, this place is deserted, there must be no one, everyone just go over." ”

"No!" The four generals Wei Yan, Pang De, Chen Dao, and Guan Hai replied together.

It didn't take long. The five of them came to the ruined temple one after another. This is a large dragon king temple, which has been in disrepair all year round, and the temple has collapsed, but half of it can still shelter from the wind and rain, and has become a good place for passers-by to spend the night.

As soon as he entered the Dragon King Temple, Wei Yan complained and said, "His grandmother's." This thief God, the sun is still out in the afternoon, and after a while, the clouds will be thick, and he will turn his face when he turns his face, and it doesn't matter if Lao Tzu becomes a chicken in the soup, the key is to make the lord soaked, if the lord is sick because of this, I am not finished with you! ”

"Hehe, Wen Chang. If you scold the sky like this, aren't you afraid of five thunderstorms in the sky? Guan Hai teased.

"I'm afraid! Isn't there thunder outside, why didn't you see it hitting me? Wei Yan said disapprerovingly.

Chen Zhi was relatively calm, so he comforted: "There are unforeseen circumstances in the sky, and no one can grasp it, since it has become like this, there is no point in complaining." Wen Chang, you still save effort. Find some dry wood and make a fire for the lord to bake. ”

There was a "bang" sound. Pound had already thrown a bundle of dry wood on the ground, and said softly, "I have already got dry firewood, enough to raise a fire." ”

"I'll make a fire!" Wei Yan volunteered.

Lin Nan stood at the door of the Dragon King Temple, looking up at the night sky, seeing lightning and thunder in the night sky, and listening to the words of the four generals under his ears. couldn't help but fall into deep thought, and said to himself: "I've been looking for it for a day, why haven't I found it yet?" ”

At this time, the fire in the Dragon King Temple had already risen, and the light illuminated half of the Dragon King Temple.

Chen Zhi walked to Lin Nan's side. said: "Lord, come in and bake the fire, first bake and dry the clothes on your body, tomorrow at dawn, it will be much more convenient to find someone again." ”

Lin Nan nodded, turned around and walked to the fire, took off his shirt and pants, and sat on a wooden pier that had been propped up with only a big pants, roasting the fire.

Wei Yan, Pang De, Guan Hai, and Chen Zhihuan sat around Lin Nan, and they all took off their clothes as they were, and the five of them used wooden sticks to prop up their clothes and set them on the fire for baking, without saying a word.

I don't know how long it took, someone's stomach started to growl.

After Lin Nan heard this, he smiled and said: "I'm tired of you, when I go back, I will definitely give you a good banquet to express my condolences." ”

"Serving the Lord is what we should do, not for anything else." Chen Zhi said.

"So do we." Wei Yan, Pang De, and Guan Hai also said in unison.

"People are iron, rice is steel, if you don't eat a meal, you will be hungry, especially a big man like you, you should eat a little more. However, the barren mountains and mountains here are located in the middle of nowhere, and it is raining heavily outside, which is really wronged by you. ”

"Lord ......"

"You don't have to say it, I understand. Tomorrow we will look for another morning, and if we haven't found it, we will go back to the Guandu camp. ”

"No!"

Lin Nan stopped talking, frowned, and said silently in his heart: "Bo Fu, where is your kid?" ”

Suddenly, there was a sound of horses' hooves outside, and Lin Nan and the others became very alert, and immediately extinguished the fire and drew out the weapons they were carrying.

The sound of horses' hooves gradually approached, and finally stopped, Lin Nan crouched by the door of the Dragon King Temple and looked outside.

Outside there was lightning and thunder, and the night was torn apart by lightning, illuminating the entire earth, and in that moment of light, Lin Nan saw clearly the appearance of a person on horseback, he immediately put the knife into the sheath, and at the same time raised a trace of joy on his face, stood up, and shouted at the three people who came to the Dragon King Temple: "You three guys, let me look for it for a while, see how I clean you up!" ”

On the backs of the three horses, carrying three young men, their whole bodies were wet, and when they saw Lin Nan, they jumped off the horses at the same time and walked towards the Dragon King Temple.

The first person is Sun Ce, the son of Sun Jian, the king of Wu, and the two people beside him, one is Zhou Tai, and the other is Lu Su.

Lin Nan welcomed Sun Ce, Zhou Tai, and Lu Su into the Dragon King Temple, and Wei Yan re-lit the bonfire, and everyone sat around the bonfire to bake clothes.

"His Royal Highness King Yan, Bo Fu is really sorry for the tightness, the three of us walked and walked, and we got lost, so that His Highness was easy to find for a while, I really don't want to go, please forgive Your Highness!" Sun Ce sighed and said slowly.

"I have surrendered myself to the king, and now I am the Marquis of Yan. Bo Fu. You have worked hard along the way, Brother Wentai has made it clear in the letter, this time he sent you to meet the Son of Heaven on his behalf, and now there are hundreds of thousands of troops gathered around Guandu, all of whom are eyeing each other, and you will stay in my barracks. When the day comes to meet the Son of Heaven, I will take you with me. Lin Nan was not angry at all, although it was said that he came out looking for Sun Ce, but along the way, he also witnessed the terrain around Guandu.

"Then Bo Fu is better to be respectful than to obey his fate." As Sun Ce spoke, he looked around at Wei Yan, Pang De, Chen Dao, and Guan Hai and asked, "Master Hou, these four strong men have good appearances, I don't know how to call them?" ”

Lin Nan listened. hurriedly introduced them one by one: "These four are my favorite generals, Wei Yan, Pang De, Chen Dao, and Guan Hai. ”

After hearing this, Sun Ce, Zhou Tai, and Lu Su first looked at each other, and then praised them together: "It turned out to be the eighteen hussars under the Hou Ye's account, and they have admired the name for a long time, like thunder. ”

Wei Yan, Pang De, Chen Dao, and Guan Hai hugged their fists together, and exchanged a few words with Sun Ce, Zhou Tai, and Lu Su.

Several people were a little tired, and it was a violent storm outside. I finally found a place to stay, so I naturally had to take a good rest. Thereupon. A group of people didn't talk too much, and fell asleep by the fire.

The next morning, the wind and rain had stopped outside, and a golden sun rose and shone the earth with its rays.

Lin Nan took Sun Ce, Zhou Tai, Lu Su and others who had been found and began to return to the Guandu camp, and asked about Ouyang Yinying and Zhou Yu along the way. After learning that Ouyang Yinying was fine, he also relieved himself.

After returning to the camp, Lin Nan asked people to properly arrange Sun Ce, Zhou Tai, and Lu Su, and he called Xun You, the military advisor who followed him on this expedition, as well as the strategists Guo Jia, Xu You, Sima Lang and others.

Xun You, Guo Jia, Xu You, and Sima Lang walked into Lin Nan's tent together. Then they bowed in unison: "Meet the lord!" ”

"Sit down."

Xun You, Xu You, and Sima Lang all sat down, and Guo Jia was still standing in place, looking embarrassed.

"Does Bonghyo have something to say?" Lin Nan saw Guo Jia's embarrassed expression, and when he saw that he wanted to stop talking, he asked.

Guo Jia said: "Lord Qiqi, my subordinates do have a sentence, I don't know if I should say it or not!" ”

"But it doesn't hurt to say it."

Guo Jia organized the language, opened his mouth and said: "Lord, just now my subordinates saw three strangers in the camp, and after asking, I learned that the young man was Sun Ce......

"Say whatever you want, and I won't blame you if you say something wrong." Lin Nan saw that Guo Jia was always a little worried, so he gave Guo Jia a dose of heart booster.

Guo Jia had Lin Nan's words, and he was also fearless, and said loudly: "The subordinates think that Sun Ce should be driven away as soon as possible, and Sun Ce should not be left in the camp. ”

"Oh? What do you think? Lin Nan didn't say anything, wanting Guo Jia to say what he thought in his heart.

"Sun Ce is the son of Sun Jian, the king of Wu, although the lord and Sun Jian are like brothers, but no matter what, Sun Jian is also a hegemon, and in the future, there will definitely be a conflict with the lord. The subordinates thought that in order for the lord not to be trapped by brotherhood in the future, it was better to cut off the love thread as soon as possible and gradually draw a clear line with Sun Jian. Based on the observation of Sun Ce by his subordinates, this person is definitely not a fuel-efficient lamp, and it is advisable to remove it as soon as possible. Guo Jiajian said.

After hearing this, Xu You also stood up and said: "Lord, his subordinates also think so, those who achieve great things can also be killed, not to mention that Sun Jian and the lord are not blood brothers......"

How could Lin Nan not know who Sun Ce was, he was a dignified "little overlord", but he was still young and had not yet fully demonstrated his bravery. After listening to Guo Jia and Xu You's Jianyi, he nodded and said, "I fully accept your Jianyi, but if you want to kill Sun Ce, now is not the time." Even if he wants to kill, he should kill with a knife, and provoke Sun Jian's anger with Sun Ce's death. With my understanding of Sun Jian, if I knew who killed Sun Ce, I would definitely pour troops from all over the country to attack him, so I will wait and see what happens, which is why I insisted on taking Sun Ce to the barracks in the Central Plains. ”

"The lord is wise!" Guo Jia and Xu You praised together.

Lin Nan smiled, turned his head and said to Xun You: "Gongda, there are still some days before meeting the Son of Heaven, these days, order all camps to strengthen patrols, Cao Cao's house is not a good thing, who knows what medicine he sells in his gourd." We are only here to respond to all changes without change, and an army of 100,000 is a lot of pressure on anyone. Ma Chao is also good. Cao Cao, no matter what, will not rashly attack our army. So, in this time, you have to raise enough food and grass, and in my expectation, it will be a long battle. You all have to be prepared for a long battle. ”

"No!" Xun Yu replied loudly.

Yan army 100,000, respectively set up five camps, each camp has 10,000 cavalry and 10,000 infantry, the front army belongs to the vanguard Gan Ning dispatch, the left battalion belongs to Huang Zhong, the right battalion belongs to Tai Shici, the middle battalion belongs to Wen Chou, and the rear battalion belongs to Zhao Yun. The five camps were attached to each other, and the distance between them was only one mile. If you take a bird's-eye view of the five camps from the air, you will find that these five camps that do not want to be connected have magically formed a larger camp, standing on the land of Guandu.

In the northwest corner of Guandu, Ma Chao and Ma Teng's Xiliang Iron Cavalry have all arrived, and the 130,000 troops are stationed there, and there is an endless stream of large and small camps. It stretches out for almost ten miles.

Directly east of Guandu, the elite of the Wei army was gathered there. Cao Cao set up a large camp with 80,000 cavalry, and the defense was very strong.

The Yan army was in the north direction of Guandu, in sharp contrast with the Western Liang soldiers and the Wei army, and stood tall on the land of Guandu. However, the three parties do not invade each other and do not attack each other. It stood there for more than ten days.

On April 28, on the eighteenth day of the tripartite confrontation between the Yan army, the Wei army, and the Xiliang army, the arrival of the Chu army made Guandu reach unprecedented tension.

The Chu army was stationed directly south of Guandu, and the arrival of 60,000 Chu troops completely broke the previous equilibrium. But the four different armies, none of them were ready to move.

On the first day of the fifth month, the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty, under the hostage of Ma Chao, reluctantly boarded the dragon and was carried out of the camp of the Xiliang soldiers, all the way to Guandu, followed by heavily armed cavalry, each of which looked very mighty.

"King Qin...... King Qin...... Do I have to go? Liu Wei sat on the dragon and craned, stretched his neck and shouted at Ma Chao, who was riding beside him.

Ma Chao nodded lightly and said, "Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, and all the kings of the world come to see you, how can Your Majesty be a little timid?" ”

"But King Qin, I heard that Lin Nan, the king of Yan, has 100,000 soldiers, Cao Cao of Wei has 80,000 Chen soldiers, and Liu Bei, the king of Chu, has 60,000 soldiers. In my opinion, for the sake of my safety, King Qin still doesn't let me go, King Qin can completely represent me......" Liu Wei really didn't want to go, so he made an excuse.

"No! 陛xià is 陛xià, how can it be replaced by others? Ma Chao said with a very hard attitude.

Liu Wei knew that it was useless to say anything, so he stopped talking, but secretly thought in his heart: "King Qin is becoming more and more arrogant, and he is less and less interested in me, is it really as Wang Situ said, King Qin wants to replace him?" ”

At this time, Qian Hu rode his horse from Guandu, and when he saw Ma Chao, he immediately said: "Master, the Yan army, the Wei army, and the Chu army have all gathered troops in Guandu, and they are quite eyeing each other. ”

"Got it, let's find out."

……

On the land of Guandu, a tall building stands there, which is the place where the Son of Heaven will meet the kings of the world, and it took Ma Chao ten days to build.

Around this high platform, Lin Nan, Cao Cao, and Liu Bei waited quietly there with their own personal guards and confidants, waiting for the arrival of the Son of Heaven.

Around noon, Ma Chao followed Long Bao's side, and after hearing the report of the scouts, he shouted to Liu Wei who was sitting in the Dragon Bowl: "Your Majesty, we have arrived, please get off Long Bao!" ”

Liu Wei lifted the curtain and saw a tall platform in front of him, and the nearby soldiers and horses could be faintly seen, which made him feel quite frightened after reading it.

After getting off the dragon, Liu Wei rode a horse, walked side by side with Ma Chao, and came to Guandu under the escort of Ma Chao's cavalry.

"Your Majesty has arrived!" Ma Chao first sent more than a dozen scouts, rode their horses and galloped, shouting around the platform.

He did this mainly to cheer up Liu Wei and show his prestige.

The words of "Your Majesty has arrived" were spread by more than a dozen scouts, and Lin Nan, Cao Cao, and Liu Bei each went to greet the emperor with their own entourage.

"Now that the people are here, we must let Liu Bei and Lin Nan fight, and it is best to fight for both sides." Ma Chao saw Lin Nan, Cao Cao, and Liu Bei walking up, and thought slowly in his heart.

"Ministers and others knock to see Your Majesty!"

Within a radius of less than ten meters, hundreds of people gathered as a point. Spreading outward, the entire wilderness of Guandu is crowded with people, and four different flags flutter in the wind, highlighting their unique temperament.

Liu Wei rode on horseback, looking around at the people kneeling on the ground around him scattered like layers of waves, and those soldiers wearing various colors of battle armor knelt on the ground one after another. Accept their pilaga that soars into the sky.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

The sound was overwhelming, like rolling thunder, spreading from Guandu everywhere, shocking the wilderness and breaking through the sky.

It was the first time for Liu Wei to see such a large lineup, and he couldn't help but feel how good it was to be an emperor, opening his arms and enjoying this unprecedented court.

However, before he could enjoy the pleasure that it brought him, he turned his head and saw that Ma Chao was still riding on horseback. In the entire Guandu, only he and Ma Chao were riding horses, which suddenly made his mood plummet.

"Where is Yan Wang Lin Nan?" Ma Chao took out a holy decree, raised it high above his head, rode his horse in front of Liu Bian, and completely covered Liu Biao with his tiger-backed body.

Although Lin Nan was kneeling on the ground, his eyes had been looking at the surroundings, and he saw Liu Bei's hostile eyes on the other side. Cao Cao, who was not far away, was also cunning, and raised his head to glance at Ma Chao. The femme fatale's eyes looked like they were going to kill him.

He felt that this shape was not good, and he couldn't see Liu Wei at all, and he didn't know whether to answer or not.

"Where is Yan Wang Lin Nan?" Ma Chao had never seen Lin Nan before, so he looked around and saw Cao Cao wink. He turned his head and looked over, and saw that Lin Nan was looking at him, so he turned his horse's head and glared at Lin Nan angrily, "Why don't you answer?" ”

"Are you talking to me?" Lin Nan pointed to himself.

Ma Chao was completely enraged by Lin Nan. He roared loudly: "You dare to entertain this king? ”

"Don't dare! It's just that I'm no longer the king of Yan, and now I've surrendered myself to the prince and am the Marquis of Yan. Also, please get out of the way, according to the law, courtiers are absolutely not allowed to stand in front of His Majesty......"

When Liu Bei heard this, he raised his head, and saw Ma Chao riding on horseback, blocking Liu Wei, and thought to himself: "Ma Chao really has committed the following crimes, and it seems that welcoming back His Majesty is the most urgent thing." ”

He looked around at several men beside Liu Wei, although they were kneeling on the ground, they could see that they were all strictly trained, and these people were all wearing heavy armor, so they must be Ma Chao's henchmen.

He remained silent, quietly observing his every move.

"The king, under the watchful eye of all people, you must not go beyond the old system, lest it cause a mutiny." Chen Qun knelt behind Ma Chao's right and reminded in a low voice.

Ma Chao looked around and saw that many people had raised their heads slightly, and their eyes were full of anger. As the so-called public anger is difficult to offend, he had no choice but to put away his smug and let go of his body a little, so that everyone could see Liu Wei, but he still held the holy decree in his hand, and said loudly: "Where is Yanhou Lin Nan!" ”

"In!" Lin Nan hugged his fists.

Ma Chao didn't say a word, immediately opened the holy decree in his hand, and read it out in public: "Yanhou Linnan, ignoring the imperial court, claiming to be the king without authorization, violating the ancestral system, and committing a great crime, should cut off the original lord, remember that he has made many meritorious deeds in guarding the frontier, and he will be spared death." However, the death penalty can be forgiven, but the living crime cannot be escaped, and since then he has been put in prison and escorted back to the capital to wait for his fate. ”

As soon as the voice fell, Ma Chao immediately threw the holy decree in front of Lin Nan and shouted loudly: "Where is the warrior in front of the palace, take down the rebel Lin Nan!" ”

Without waiting for Ma Chao's subordinates to start acting, Lin Nan stood up directly from the ground, and the four generals Pang De, Wei Yan, Chen Dao, and Guan Hai who followed him also reacted quickly, and all stood up along with the subordinates behind him.

"Lin Nan, do you want to rebel?" Seeing this, Ma Chao asked angrily.

"Hehe, this is a false decree, why should I follow it?" Lin Nan glanced at Liu Wei, who was slightly shocked behind Ma Chao, and asked, "Your Majesty, I believe that Your Majesty will never do this, right?" ”

Liu Wei squinted at Ma Chao, didn't dare to answer, his eyes were full of fear.

"This is written by His Majesty, you are the first to claim the king, and you have the jade seal of the country but do not return it to Your Majesty, this kind of behavior has constituted your monstrous sin, it is simply a book, do you still want to deny it?" Ma Chao pointed to Lin Nan's nose and said.

Lin Nan just smiled and didn't answer. glanced at Cao Cao, Liu Bei and the others, and saw that they were all gloating, and Cao Cao had no intention of helping. He smiled and said to Ma Chao: "If you want to take my head, you are still a little tender." ”

"Bold! Come on, take down the anti-thief Lin Nan! Ma Chao pulled out the waist knife he was wearing.

Zhang Xiu, Suo Xu, Wang Shuang, and Qian Hu stood up together. They all drew their weapons and rushed towards Lin Nan with their soldiers.

Lin Nan had already prepared, did not fight, and retreated with his soldiers.

At this time, the entire Guandu became unprecedentedly nervous, and the soldiers who were originally kneeling on the ground stood up one after another because of a commotion, and suddenly the spears were like a forest.

The soldiers were all looking ahead, not knowing the cause of the commotion ahead.

At this moment, the sound of rolling thunder horses' hooves suddenly came from all directions. In the northwest corner, a man wearing gold armor and a golden helmet waved the saber in his hand and galloped with all the Western Liang cavalry, it was Ma Teng, the king of Liang.

In all directions, the Xiliang cavalry continued to emerge, and Ma Teng led his eight generals to kill from behind the kings with lightning speed, no matter whose troops it was, as long as it was not the Xiliang soldiers. All are enemies.

Ma Teng's appearance directly affected the pattern near the Guandu High Platform, and all those who came to participate in the pilgrimage to meet the Son of Heaven. I didn't expect it, let alone that the Xiliang soldiers would suddenly come out without declaring a war.

"Woolulu......"

The Xiliang soldiers rode Xiliang horses with excellent endurance, the horse's back was only covered with a thin layer of leather armor, and the knights on horseback held a longbow, hung a saber at the waist, and drew a bow and arrows. A burst of indiscriminate fire was fired at all the people near the high platform, except, of course, the Qin army under Ma Chao's subordinates.

As soon as the Xiliang soldiers appeared, the soldiers in white cloaks under Ma Chao over there turned over their horses and drew their blades. Immediately plunged into the battle, but there was no track, and the five thousand cavalry instantly divided into five different horse teams, each led by a military horse, and killed in different directions.

Lin Nan retreated in time, but he was also a little caught off guard by the appearance of the Xiliang soldiers, and the infantry at the back of the line was killed by the ferocious arrows before they could react, and a large number of people fell behind.

"Signal!" Lin Nan, under the escort of Wei Yan, Pang De, Chen Dao, Guan Hai and his personal entourage, saw that the Xiliang soldiers suddenly appeared, and immediately shouted loudly.

"No!" After hearing this, Guan Hai released a carrier pigeon from the pocket that had been prepared a long time ago, and the carrier pigeon avoided the dense arrows, rose into the air, and quickly flew towards the dense forest five miles away.

Cao Cao saw that the Xiliang soldiers launched an attack on him, and a strange smile appeared on the corner of Ma Chao's mouth, and he knew that he was on Ma Chao's job, but fortunately, all he brought this time were tigers and leopards.

At the same time, under the protection of Zhang Fei and Yan Yan, Liu Bei quickly took the idea of a soldier to try to get out of the battlefield to reduce casualties.

The melee came together, and the surroundings of Guandu fell into chaos, and the Xiliang soldiers chased and intercepted them, trying to wipe out all the enemies, while the elites brought by Lin Nan, Cao Cao, and Liu Bei were desperately rushing outward, and the two groups of soldiers had subtle changes.

Ma Chao held his saber and did not chase Lin Nan, but rode his horse to chase Cao Cao, and led the three hundred ghost troops under his tent like a sharp sword, chasing Cao Cao closely.

There were Xiliang soldiers in front, and Ma Chao and his subordinates in the ghost army, Cao Cao suddenly felt that he was in a crisis, and rode his horse and galloped quickly, but there were people everywhere, and the mountains and fields were full of Xiliang soldiers, and it was even more difficult to break out of the encirclement than to climb to the sky.

There were several clashes between the tiger and leopard cavalry and the Xiliang soldiers, but the gap to the outside world was never opened, but the number of dead and wounded increased.

"Cao Xiu, you take 500 people to kill from the left side, Cao Chun, you take 500 people to kill from the right side, the enemy's two wings are relatively weak, there should be hope of rushing out."

"But the king, as soon as we leave, who will protect the king?" Cao Chun reminded.

"Don't worry, there is Dian Wei in the ......" Cao Cao's words were only general, and then he found that Dian Wei was not around.

Dian Wei's disappearance became a problem for Cao Cao, and he sent people to the Yan army camp many times to ask for people, but the answer given by the Yan army was that he had already left.

"You can go with confidence, do what I say, and you will definitely be able to resolve the current crisis."

Seeing Cao Cao's firmness, Cao Chun and Cao Xiu accepted Cao Cao's advice, and each led five hundred tiger and leopard cavalry to begin a fierce attack on the two wings of the Western Liang army.

"Cao Cao Hugh go!" Ma Chao set his sights on Cao Cao and rushed up with the ghost army.

Cao Cao hurriedly dispatched troops. sent someone to block Ma Chao, and he retreated with his relatives.

However, where those people were Ma Chao's opponents, they were quickly cleaned up by Ma Chao and his subordinates. Ma Chao chased after Cao Cao again, and he was about to catch up, but he didn't know that someone came halfway and disturbed the due order.

Cao Cao was worried that he would be caught up by Ma Chao. Maybe he'll be in a different place. He thought to himself, "If the horse doesn't die, I have no place to bury!" ”

The scuffle continued, and it gradually became intense......

"Zheng!"

A violent crash of weapons sounded behind Cao Cao, and when he turned around, he saw Xu Chu blocking Ma Chao's way with a long knife, and fighting with him.

Xu Chu's sudden appearance not only made Ma Chao feel a little surprised, but also made Cao Cao feel a little surprised, Cao Cao clearly remembered that when he arrived here. Xu Chu was still immersed in deep self-blame in the barracks, and Dian Wei's mysterious disappearance made Xu Chu shut down.

Cao Cao didn't have time to think about why Xu Chu suddenly appeared, and he didn't have time to think about where Dian Wei was, the only thing he could think of was to fight his way out of the encirclement, return to his military camp, accumulate all his troops, and deploy defenses.

Maybe it's because he believes in Ma Chao so much that he doesn't make any deployment at all. Only brought Cao Chun, Cao Xiu and a thousand tigers and leopards to meet the Son of Heaven, thinking that Ma Chao would only deal with Lin Nan alone. However, the Xiliang soldiers suddenly killed under the leadership of Ma Teng, which completely shattered his wishful thinking, and he couldn't help but scold in his heart: "The most untrustworthy person, Ma Chaoye!" ”

When he turned around, Cao Cao also found a very strange situation, Liu Bei was under the escort of Zhang Fei, Yan Yan and others. had left the battlefield unharmed, and the Xiliang soldiers did not launch an attack on the Chu army.

"What's going on? Why did Ma Chao only attack me and Lin Nan? Cao Cao was confused, and the constant sound of fighting in his ears brought him back to reality, and he rode his horse and galloped, seeing that Cao Chun and Cao Xiu had already killed from the left and right flanks of the Xiliang soldiers. is rounding back to the middle to flank him, slapping his horse and whipping, holding a sharp blade, and leading his subordinates to kill.

Later, Ma Chao was stopped by Xu Chu, seeing Cao Cao walking farther and farther, Ma Chao was furious, glared at Xu Chu who was blocking his way, and roared loudly: "It's you again, I let you run away last time, and this time this king is going to kill you with his own hands." ”

Xu Chu danced the Guyue knife, slashed a few times indiscriminately, forced Ma Chao away, and looked back to see that Cao Cao had already gone away, so he snorted coldly and said, "I didn't have enough to eat today, let's fight again another day." ”

As soon as the words fell, Xu Chu turned the horse's head and galloped out quickly.

Seeing this, Ma Chao was about to pursue, but he heard the earth-shattering shouts from the north, and saw a large number of Yan cavalry galloping behind the Xiliang soldiers from a distance, like rolling waves, unstoppable. And Lin Nan and the others were fighting hard outward, and the Xiliang soldiers did not please much in front of the Yan army, and they fought together, each with casualties.

"Great King, the Yan army has already been prepared, our army is not strong enough, I am afraid that we will not be able to completely kill the people in the future......" Chen Qun has been following Ma Chao's side, looked at the form, and immediately said to Ma Chao.

However, before Chen Qun's words fell, the Yan army gathered together, and really attacked that part of the Xiliang soldiers back and forth, and Lin Nan and the others had already fought their way out of the encirclement.

Ma Chao glanced at the chaotic battlefield, although the Xiliang soldiers were surprised, but they did not attack them unprepared, I don't know if the Yan army is too strong, or the Xiliang soldiers are too weak, the more than 2,000 cavalry Xiliang soldiers who are responsible for attacking the Yan army are not much left in the Yan army's pincer attack.

He gritted his teeth, paid attention to the movements of the Chu army, and saw that Liu Bei had already led people out of the battlefield, but he didn't see the shadow of the Chu army participating in the battle, so he said hatefully: "Damn Liu Bei, why didn't his army participate in the battle?" ”

"The king, it is better to ask for others than to ask for yourself, Liu Bei and we are not on the same front, the reason why we agreed to the king's request a few days ago is nothing more than an expedient measure, judging from today's incident, it is Liu Bei who put our army together, so that the king will offend all the heroes who came to see the Son of Heaven at once......," Chen Qun analyzed.

"Thief, mother! Withdraw the troops back to the camp and fight again another day! Ma Chao was full of remorse, feeling that he was being played with in applause, and his heart was full of hatred for Liu Bei.

Just three days ago, Liu Bei's envoy suddenly secretly visited the Qin army camp and brought Liu Bei's willingness to assist Ma Chao in eradicating Lin Nan and Cao Cao.

It's just that what Ma Chao didn't expect was that he turned out to be a chess piece in Liu Bei's hands, which not only completely broke with Lin Nan and Cao Cao, but also made him not benefit at all.

"Today's incident happened too suddenly, I never thought that Ma Chao would be blatantly like this, does he want to deal with the kings of the world at the same time with his own strength?" On a high slope not too far from Guandu, Sun Ce rode on the back of a horse, looked at the Guandu battlefield in the distance from afar, and said slowly.

"Young master, I don't know if you found out just now, the Xiliang soldiers did not attack the Chu army." Lu Su rode a horse, stood on Sun Ce's right, and said what he had discovered.

"Is the military advisor saying that Liu Bei and Ma Chao colluded together?" Zhou Taihu doubted.

"Very likely." Lu Su said.

"If that's the case, then Yan Jun's situation is dangerous." Sun Ce said slowly, "Zijing, Youping, there is no place for us to stand here, let's take advantage of the chaos to go back to Jiangdong." ”

Zhou Tai hugged his fists and said: "No! ”

Lu Su asked with a little hesitation: "Young master, are you really not going to say goodbye to Yanhou?" ”

"Zijing, you are a smart person, we have been watched all the time since we were in the Yan army camp, and today we finally slipped out while Dian Wei was making trouble, if we go back, I am afraid that we will never be able to leave the Yan army camp again. My father regarded Lin Nan as a brother, but I only regarded Lin Nan as an opponent, when I was crusading against Dong Zhuo, I once challenged him, and from that time, he was the opponent in my heart. What's more, he is the overlord of one side, although I don't know why my father trusts Lin Nan so much, but this person has to be guarded against, maybe he will become the enemy of our entire Wu Kingdom in the future. ”

"Young master, I think I understand what the young master means, taking advantage of the chaos here in Guandu, and Liu Bei is also here, we should rush back as much as possible, maybe there will be something to do in Jingzhou." Lu Su said what Sun Ce was thinking.

Sun Ce smiled but didn't answer, turned the horse's head, glanced at Zhou Tai and Lu Su, and said simply: "When the Central Plains is in the melee, it is also the time when my Wu Kingdom rises, let's go back to Jiangdong!" ”

"No!"

……

In the Yan army camp, a hundred soldiers covered with steel surrounded Dian Wei in the heart of the camp, truly forming an iron wall.

Dian Wei stood in the heart of the Kan with his bare hands, gasping for breath, a pair of tiger eyes glaring at the hundred heavy infantry surrounding him, gritting his teeth with hatred.

Wen Chou was draped all over, standing outside the heavy infantry, looking at Dian Wei inside gasping for breath because of his body overdraft, and then said loudly: "General Dian, Wen advises you to save your strength, it is absolutely impossible for you to get away from here, these hundred soldiers are specially trained to trap you." ”

Dian Wei has never gone out since he entered the Yan army camp, and no less than a hundred soldiers will "protect" him alone every day. At first, he thought it was because of his injury, but now that his injury has completely healed, he can't even go out for a walk, and then he understands that he was imprisoned by Lin Nan.

Since three days ago, he had been trying to break free from this invisible prison where he was imprisoned, but without the double iron halberd, his attack power had greatly decreased a lot, and he could not break through here with only a brute force.

With Dian Wei's trouble, Lin Nan was afraid that Dian Wei would escape, so he ordered someone to build a cage while Dian Wei was exhausted, and completely trapped Dian Wei in the iron cage.

Today, Dian Wei accumulated all his strength, bent the iron cage, and escaped from it, immediately attracting the heavy infantry brought by Wen Chou to surround him, and Ren Dian Wei couldn't escape no matter how he pounced. (To be continued......)
