Chapter 460: Seduction
Cao Cao's appreciation of Liu Zheng and what he said made Liu Dai and Zhang Miao on the side slightly confused, and even a little dissatisfied with Cao Cao's answer.
I don't know, I thought it was two old friends who hadn't seen each other for a long time.
"This is also thanks to Brother Meng De, if it weren't for the fact that you led the troops to sweep my Qu Shuai Yang Feng back then, how could I have today, I have such an achievement, and thanks to Brother Meng De, just by virtue of this, if Brother Meng De has no way to go in the future, even if you come to me Liu Zheng, I have a temporary lack of a military staff officer, and I am willing to reserve it for Brother Meng De."
Liu Zheng half-jokingly talked to Cao Cao.
Speaking of which, although he has a little hatred for Cao Cao, it all comes from the massacre of Cao Jun when he first arrived in the Three Kingdoms World, so that he can only flee in the wilderness, but in a different identity, from a standpoint, Liu Zheng still has some admiration for Cao Cao.
After all, he was a hero in troubled times, and it was he who maintained the last dignity of the Han Dynasty, although Cao Cao did some things that were not praised, but in terms of history, he still had more merit than demerit.
"Then I still have to thank you."
Cao Cao didn't smile, on the surface he was catching up with Liu Zheng, but in fact, in private, he was already thinking about how many soldiers and horses Liu Zheng brought over this time, and what kind of means should be taken to attack, so that Liu Zheng's soldiers and horses could be completely left here.
However, Cao Cao didn't think about it for long, and the conversation between him and Liu Zheng was interrupted by Liu Dai.
"Liu Zheng, you gang of thieves, you still have the courage to appear here, I'm afraid you don't want to live, okay, take the opportunity to clean up Yuan Shu, by the way, you yellow scarf remnants, also clean up, so as to promote my Han Tianwei!"
Liu Dai, as a clan relative of the Han family, still has to help the Han Dynasty to speak, although he is unlikely to be the emperor in his life, but after all, he is also a clan relative, if he becomes a prince of one side, or even dominates the world, he will still claim to be the Han Dynasty.
After all, they are also descendants of the Han family, and the surname Liu is a family in the world.
"Dahan Tianwei. Well, these words are good, the Han is indeed very majestic, and it is indeed the pride of the Han people, those who offend me as a strong man, although they are far away, will be punished, if I unify the world in the future, I will also call the Han. ”
Liu Zheng said casually, although he hadn't thought about this matter yet, but he knew that sooner or later, he would be able to do it.
"It's up to you, you still want to unify the world, dream of it, come on. Kill these traitors for me! ”
Liu Dai sneered, didn't give Liu Zheng extra time to speak at all, and directly gave an order, and let his subordinates start to charge against Liu Zheng's army.
Liu Dai was the leader of this attack on Huainan, although now the soldiers and horses brought by Liu Dai have lost some, and the troops are equal to Cao Cao and Zhang Miao, but as a state pastor, his status is the highest, so Cao Cao and Zhang Miao still have to obey his dispatch on the surface.
With his order, Zhang Miao and Cao Cao on the side could only follow Liu Dai's instructions and began to let their soldiers and horses charge.
This time, Zhang Miao and Cao Cao's men and horses launched an encirclement from the left and right flanks, and Liu Dai's headquarters army charged from the front and launched an attack on Liu Zheng's army.
Liu Zheng originally wanted to delay for some time, but after seeing the enemy army attacking him so quickly, he was also able to do so.
"Retreat!"
The two words came out directly, Liu Zheng didn't say a word, and directly led his own people and began to run back.
In an uproar, more than 10,000 soldiers and horses immediately turned around and began to scatter and retreat.
In fact, Cao Cao originally had hundreds of cavalry, but those hundreds of cavalry were defeated by Liu Zheng a few years ago, and then there was no supplement of war horses, and the number of cavalry could not go up, and most of them served as Cao Cao's personal soldiers.
Therefore, the cavalry is also relatively rare in the hands of Cao Cao, and his tiger and leopard cavalry, before it has been developed, has been castrated in his hands because of historical changes.
And Cao Cao had no cavalry, and Zhang Miao and Liu Dai naturally had no cavalry, and most of their men were pikemen.
The official army, mainly pikemen, began to launch a pursuit of Liu Zheng's army.
They didn't expect Liu Zheng to turn around and flee without saying a word. However, since Liu Zheng's men and horses have already arrived here, they still want to chase them, but they can't, so let Liu Zheng show his identity here and escape.
Thinking about it, they also knew that it was impossible for Liu Zheng to rely on more than 10,000 people to fight with them here.
Liu Zheng's retreat was also deliberately attracting them to pursue them further away.
Although Cao Cao felt that something was slightly wrong with this matter, after all, it was Liu Dai who commanded the battle.
As Liu Dai urged everyone to continue the pursuit, the 40,000 soldiers and horses who were waiting for the battle also began to pursue in the direction where Liu Zheng fled.
Although Liu Zheng's soldiers and horses retreated in an orderly manner, they showed some panic, and kept a suitable distance from the pursuing soldiers of the official army, neither engaged the official army nor threw them away directly, but kept luring them forward.
Keeping an appropriate distance, luring them out of the range of Shouchun City, and when they were far enough away from Shouchun City to return to help in a short time, Liu Zheng found out about the battle and delayed them.
Liu Dai's men and horses finally reacted when they pursued three or five miles, and as they got farther and farther away from Shouchun, they knew that they could not continue to pursue, and they were afraid of entering Liu Zheng's trap.
But just as they were about to evacuate here, Liu Zhengjun, who had been in front of them before, suddenly turned around and returned and began to attack them.
"Brothers, the enemy army has left the range of Shouchun City, there are no soldiers and horses to support, it's time to show them how powerful we are, and destroy this group of enemy troops for me!"
Liu Zheng saw that the other party had the intention of retreating, so he immediately shouted and gave orders to his subordinates.
At the same time, he had already ordered his men and horses to recognize Liu Daijun's banner clearly, although it was a counter-killing charge, but try to target the men and horses under Liu Dai's command to attack, and only need to kill enough Liu Dai's soldiers and horses, they will complete this task.
Cao Hong, Cheng Yu and others, who led the soldiers and horses to pursue Liu Zheng's army, were suddenly shocked, they didn't expect Liu Zheng to counterattack at this time.
At this time, it was not suitable to retreat, and it was not suitable to go up to fight Liu Zheng, but fortunately, this time they led 40,000 soldiers and horses.
It was more than double the 15,000 people last time, and he had enough confidence to face Liu Zheng's attack again, and he was not as panicked as last time.
