Chapter 454: Continue to the North

Mi Fang's martial arts were on par with Cao Bao, and he was not Ji Ling's opponent originally, but he saw that there was only one person on the other side, and there were thousands of soldiers and horses behind him, even if one person slashed the other party, it was enough to cut the other party into meat sauce. With the courage of the soldiers and horses behind him, Mi Fang rushed forward with his weapons brandished.

Ji Ling saw that a group of thousands of soldiers and horses suddenly appeared in front of him, saving Cao Bao who was being chased by himself, knowing that if he caught up again, he was afraid that he would not be able to help Cao Bao, so he restrained his mount and stood in place waiting for Mi Fang who rushed over.

Mi Fang saw that Ji Ling actually stopped the pursuit, and the horse stopped in the distance, and he hurriedly pulled the reins to slow down his mount. When he came to a place five or six steps away from Ji Ling, he stopped, pointed at Ji Ling with his hand, and asked loudly: "Who is coming, why did you offend my Xuzhou boundary?" ”

Ji Ling saw that it was a young general, who should be better at talking than Cao Bao just now, so he clasped his fists and saluted the other party, and said: "This little general is invited, and under him is Ji Ling, the general under the Yang Mu Yuan Highway, on the order of my lord, to go to Licheng to encircle and suppress a rebel army. ”

Hearing Ji Ling say this, Mi Fang couldn't help but turn her head to look at Cao Bao, who was in the queue, looking embarrassed, and asked puzzledly: "General Ji Ling, since you are going to Licheng, why do you want to fight General Cao Bao?" ”

Ji Ling glanced at Cao Bao, who was in the military formation in the distance, and said disdainfully: "General Ben just told General Cao that we are going to Licheng, and I hope he can make it convenient and make a way for us." Who knew that he would cut without saying a word, and General Ben had no choice but to defend himself. ”

After Mi Fang listened to Ji Ling's story, he couldn't help but turn his head and glance at Cao Bao in the back, with his understanding of Cao Bao, Cao Bao would definitely do this kind of thing. Just when he was hesitating what to do next, Cao Bao, who was relieved, saw that Ji Ling was just alone, and suddenly became arrogant again, and he shouted loudly at Mi Fang: "Zifang, don't be polite to him, he only has one person, and we have thousands of people, even if we step on him, we can trample him to death." ”

When Mi Fang heard Cao Bao say this, she secretly screamed in her heart that it was not good, and she wanted something bad. Although Ji Ling is only one person, his martial arts are almost the same as Cao Bao's, he can't deal with Ji Ling, and he is also not Ji Ling's opponent.

Ji Ling is also a fiery temper, hearing Cao Bao say this, blood suddenly gushed on his head, he pointed at Cao Bao's location with a three-pointed two-edged knife, and said sharply: "Cao Bao, if you have the ability to come over and fight with General Ben for another thirty rounds, General Ben will definitely take the head of the master." ”

Cao Bao and Ji Ling have fought each other, what is the strength of the other party, he knows very well in his heart, how can he go over to find abuse by himself, so he can only hide among the soldiers and shout loudly: "If you want to kill Cao someone, come over by yourself!" ”

Although Ji Ling's martial arts are far superior to Cao Bao and Mi Fang, he knows very well in his heart that if he wants to charge at the thousands of troops and horses on the opposite side, it is simply death. For now, it is better to find a way to wait for his subordinates to arrive, and it is not too late to clean up that Cao Bao when the time comes.

Mi Fang heard Cao Bao shouting from behind, but he didn't act rashly, but said to Ji Ling politely: "General Ji Ling, since this matter is a misunderstanding, why don't you stop here?" ”

Ji Ling originally wanted to wait for his subordinates to arrive, and then compete with the soldiers and horses in front of him, but now he is trying to find a way to stabilize the other party, so as not to make a move and he can't get out. Seeing that Mi Fang was so easy to talk at this moment, he temporarily changed his mind, there are thousands of people on the other side, even if he wins, he will inevitably lose a lot of his subordinates, and there are fewer soldiers and horses that can be brought to Licheng, if you want to deal with Lu Bu, I am afraid that you will not be able to do it.

It was precisely because of this consideration that Ji Ling changed his mind and decided to accept it when he saw it, no longer seeing the same thing as Cao Bao, and continued to drive his own way with his men and horses, striving to reach Licheng as soon as possible. He hurriedly put the blade across the saddle and saluted Mi Fang with a fist: "Little general, we will meet later!" With that, he turned his horse's head and headed off the way he came.

Seeing Ji Ling riding his horse away, Mi Fang couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief, although the two had never fought each other, but Ji Ling was a veteran general, and he was born with a bad aura, which made Mi Fang feel panicked in his heart. He was even thinking that if the two sides really made a move, maybe he wouldn't be able to walk three rounds in front of the other party, and he would be cut off from the horse, and now Ji Ling left happily, which was exactly what he couldn't ask for.

After seeing Ji Ling walking away, Cao Bao rode his horse to Mi Fang's side, and asked with a displeased face: "Zifang, why did you want to let Ji Ling go, if you are not afraid of him?" You know, you and I are enough to take his dog's life. ”

Hearing Cao Bao say this, Mi Fang really couldn't cry or laugh, and said in her heart that she didn't look at her large number of soldiers and horses, but it was not easy to keep Ji Ling. Therefore, although he was full of resentment towards Cao Bao in his heart, considering that the other party was a celebrity under Zhou Mu Tao Qian, he could only say with a smiling face: "General Cao, this person is a general under Yuan Yangzhou, and his martial arts may not be under you and me, if we can't take him down quickly, when his soldiers and horses arrive, there will be a scuffle." You also know that the soldiers and horses of Xuzhou are not in the battle formation, and they may not be their opponents......"

"Alright, don't say it." Cao Bao just said it casually, really let him compete with Ji Ling again, it is estimated that he does not have the guts, at this moment, he just saw Ji Ling leave, so he said a few cruel words. Hearing Mi Fang say this, he was afraid that the other party would invite him to chase and kill Ji Ling together, so he waved his hand and said, "Poor Kou Mo chases, since he has escaped, let's go back to the city." ”

"Phew, it's shameless." Mi Fang spurned Cao Bao fiercely in her heart, but she still said with a smile on her face: "General Cao is right, Ji Ling saw that our army was strong and knew that he was invincible, so he could only retreat obediently. Let's gather our troops and return to the city now. ”

Besides, Ji Ling walked less than two miles before he met his own soldiers and horses. Seeing that Ji Ling was back, the military Sima hurriedly stepped forward and reported to him: "General Qiyu, a total of 372 Xuzhou soldiers were killed, 108 people were captured, and some acquaintances took advantage of the terrain to escape. ”

After listening to Jun Sima's report, Ji Ling nodded, and then ordered: "Let go of those captured Xuzhou soldiers." ”

"What, let all the troops go?!" When Jun Sima heard Ji Ling say this, he couldn't help but show a surprised expression on his face: "General, why is this?" ”

"The lord ordered me to wait until Licheng to give Lu Bu an order, and I can't delay here for too long." Ji Ling patiently explained to his subordinates: "The battle just now was caused by Cao Bao's provocation, if we kill all this Xuzhou army because of this, we will inevitably have a grudge against Tao Qian......"

"General!" When Jun Sima heard this, he couldn't help but interject and said: "The Xuzhou army is cowardly and incompetent, even if you make a feud with them? Could it be that they still dare to come to find our bad luck? ”

"That's right, the soldiers and horses in Xuzhou are indeed not to be worried, but don't forget, we are in Xuzhou at the moment, if Tao Qian is angered, he orders soldiers and horses from all over the country to encircle and suppress us, we will still be difficult to deal with." Ji Ling waved his hand at the army Sima and ordered: "Let everyone go, so that when we return from Licheng, we will not be intercepted by the soldiers and horses of Xuzhou." ”

Seeing that Ji Ling had already made up his mind, Jun Sima did not persuade again, but rode back to the front of the team and shouted loudly: "Let go of those Xuzhou troops, and we will continue to rush north." ”
