Although Liu Yu's troops succeeded in breaking through, Cao Cao pursued them to the death.

Looking back at Cao Jun, who was chasing after him, Liu Yu hated that he would fall to such a point that he was so embarrassed that he didn't have time to pull out the arrow on his shoulder. Liu Yu didn't have to think about it to know that he had suffered heavy losses this time, and it was still a big question whether he could escape. The pain in the shoulder is not a big deal in such a severe situation.

For the sake of safety, Liu Yu had already sent elite knights riding the best war horses to inform Ma Chao and order him to come and answer.

But even if the knight saw Ma Chao now, the reinforcements did not arrive so quickly.

"My lord, you can't just retreat! Many of the officers and men of our army are exhausted, and many have fallen behind. If this continues, I'm afraid that our army will explain here, and the last general will ask to stay behind the palace and block it for the lord for a while! Zhao Yun came to Liu Yu's side and said.

Liu Yu refused on the spot and said: "Cao's army is powerful, if you stay, you will die without a place to be buried." This king can't watch you die! ”

"My lord, the last general is not afraid of death. If the lord can be safe, what regret is there if the last general is dead? Zhao Yun said anxiously.

Liu Yu was angry and scolded: "Zhao Zilong, have you still taken this king in your eyes, and you actually openly contradicted this king!" Don't say it again! ”

Liu Yu's reprimand made Zhao Yun dare not say more, and continued to retreat with his troops.

Cao Cao and the others, who were chasing after Liu Yu, were excited.

Xiahou Yuan said to Cao Cao: "Lord, Liu Yu can really run." ”

Cao Cao nodded and said, "Liu Yu's soldiers and horses are strong, and their endurance is not comparable to our army. But no matter how strong you are, you are still a person, and there will always be a moment of tiredness. Lone has already ordered all cities along the way to send troops to block it, and this time Liu Yu must be captured. ”

Li Dianle Jin held his weapon tightly, of course, the weapons were all new, and he was a little unlucky. The weapon they had been using was cut off by Guan Yu, so humiliating, they wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to take revenge.

Xu Huang had no way to take revenge, he was seriously injured and was arranged by Cao Cao to go to Xuchang for treatment.

Cao Jun kept chasing and killing Liu Yu, and if Liu Yu left some soldiers and horses, he could block it for a while and buy a certain amount of time. But Liu Yu couldn't bear to watch his subordinates stay and die. It's just a matter of dying in the battlefield duel, leaving the palace to die, Liu Yu can't do it.

Just then, a knight came galloping in. Liu Yu looked at it, looking at his outfit, it was his own soldier, and he was overjoyed, it was estimated that the person he sent out to inform Ma Chao had news.

The knight went directly to Liu Yu, Gao Shun originally wanted to stop him, but when he found out that this knight was Liu Yu's guard, he let him go in directly.

Liu Yu saw his guards and hurriedly asked, "Is Meng up?" ”

The knight nodded yes, and respectfully handed a copy of the parchment to Liu Yu.

Liu Yu opened it and looked at it, his eyes were shining, and he said to all the soldiers: "The whole army is speeding up and marching towards Xiangyi. ”

Liu Yu's soldiers all cheered up, and marching towards Xiangyi meant that Ma Chao and they had broken through Xiangyi and came to the rescue.

Yes, Ma Chao and Jia Xu did break through Xiangyi, and Cao Hong was defeated and fled. Jia Xu sent scouts to constantly inquire about Liu Yu's news, and was shocked when he learned that Liu Yu had attacked Xuchang. Jia Xu estimated that Cao Cao had already led a large army to go and immediately led the army to support.

After marching for a while, the knights sent by Liu Yu soon met the troops of Jia Xu and Ma Chao.

Ma Chao learned that Liu Yu's army was defeated and couldn't wait to lead the army to the rescue, but Jia Xu stopped him. Ma Chao was furious on the spot and angrily reprimanded Jia Xu.

Jia Xu had other plans, he wanted to find a favorable terrain to fight Cao Cao in an ambush, so as to rescue Liu Yu, if the results were significant, maybe he could turn the situation around and counterattack Xuchang.

After Jia Xu's story, Ma Chao knew that he had misunderstood him, and hurriedly apologized to Jia Xu. Jia Xu knew that Ma Chao had such a hot temper, and the two had been working together for a while, so of course Jia Xu chose to forgive him.

So, Jia Xu found a favorable ambush terrain and set up an ambush, and gave a parchment book for the knight who came to report the news to go back and report to Liu Yu and explain the situation.

The parchment made it very clear, and of course Liu Yu knew that this would have a better chance of winning, and approved of this strategy. But Liu Yu is also a little dissatisfied with Jia Xu, his own lord is in a moment of crisis, and he still has time to design enemies, Jia Xu is vicious enough. Liu Yu decided that he must let Jia Xu enjoy the taste of the little black house afterwards.

General Cao Liu, you chased after me, and soon came to the ambush site arranged by Jia Xu.

This is a valley, there are only one in and one out of two exits, and it is the only place for Xuchang to go to Xiangyi. Jia Xu and Ma Chao had already laid an ambush here, and sprinkled fire and sulfur around the valley. That's right, Jia Xu just wants to attack with fire.

Cao Cao knew the terrain of the valley in front of him, and thought that if someone ambushed there, they would suffer a great loss.

But Liu Yu's defeated army was just around the corner, and if he gave up capturing him because he was worried about the ambush, wouldn't the previous pursuit be wasted.

Cao Cao decided to take a risk.

Liu Yu led the army into the valley quickly, and Cao Cao also followed in with his team.

Liu Yu saw Cao Cao coming in with his pursuers, and his face showed a long-lost danger.

Cao Cao felt something was wrong after entering the valley halfway through, he knew that there were many birds and beasts, so many armies rushed into the valley, and none of the birds were startled, and Cao Cao's mind suddenly thought of a possibility, that is, there were a large number of enemy troops in the valley in ambush, and the birds and beasts had already been frightened away.

"The whole army stops, retreat!" Cao Cao quickly gave the order.

Cao Cao's soldiers and horses were stunned for a while, and they pursued well, why did they say retreat now.

Xiahou Yuan asked puzzledly, "Lord, why did you retreat?" ”

"Hurry back! Violators are killed! Seeing that his soldiers and generals were so stupid, Cao Cao, as the commander-in-chief, was about to die.

The soldiers of the Cao army did not dare to turn back quickly and prepared to leave.

When Jia Xu saw Cao Cao stop, he knew that Cao Cao had discovered the ambush of himself and others, and immediately ordered an attack.

Suddenly, a large number of rockets shot at Cao Cao and them.

"There is an ambush, retreat quickly!" Cao Cao roared, as he expected, there was really an ambush here, and he was too risky.

There were fires all around, and Cao Cao secretly scolded the people who were ambushing here for being too cunning, and actually took advantage of his psychological design to catch Liu Yu.

Fortunately, Cao Cao himself discovered something wrong in time and did not continue to go deeper, although his troops suffered huge losses, Cao Cao and other leading figures still rushed out of the sea of fire very smoothly.

Jia Xu's ambush can be said to have only prevented Cao Cao's continued pursuit, and did not have much effect and results.

Cao Cao escaped, looked at the burning valley, and knew that he could not continue to pursue Liu Yu.

"Hi...... still let Liu Yu run away! Cao Cao said resentfully.

Xiahou Yuan and the others did not dare to speak, for fear of arousing Cao Cao's anger.

"Let's go!" Cao Cao led all the pursuing troops back to Xuchang. The valley behind him was constantly on fire.
