Chapter 100: Brothers Against Brothers

"Li Zhiran really didn't have a good heart!" In Yixian, time moved back slightly, in order to prevent Li Dao from suddenly making a move, Guo Yan arranged a lot of troops around, but when Li Dao made a move, Guo Yan's last bit of luck in his heart was gone, and he scolded angrily and commanded the soldiers to stop Li Dao.

The city gate was seized by the other party, and it was difficult to recapture it for a while, but Guo Yan was the home field after all, and quickly mobilized people to start shooting arrows in the city, and at the same time, all the soldiers and horses in the city were also transferred out to surround Li Dao from both sides.

At this time, Li Dao had no way to retreat, personally went into battle, killed the enemy with a spear in hand, and pushed the battle line into the city, the battle between the two sides continued to spread around the city gate towards the city, Li Dao now has no way to retreat, put aside everything to seize Yixian, Guo Yan in order to protect himself, also wanted to completely kill Li Dao, and also let go of his hands and feet.

Just when the fighting between the two sides intensified, and Li Wei had few soldiers after all, and gradually fell into a disadvantage, Zhao Cen suddenly rushed to Guo Yan's side in a panic, bowed down and said: "General, the big thing is not good!" Cao Mengde opened the city gate by fraud, waved his troops into the city, and robbed the Son of Heaven. ”

"Who is guarding the city? How could Cao Mengde easily lead his army into the city!? Guo Yan was originally happy to see that he had the upper hand, but at this moment he was shocked when he heard the news, and shouted loudly.

"General, the gatekeeper is the general's nephew, Guo Zhu." Zhao Cen was a little embarrassed.

When Guo Yan heard this, his chest froze, and he sighed and said: "Zhao Cen, immediately lead your troops to pursue Cao Cao, be sure to recapture the Son of Heaven, and when I break Li Dao, I will lead the army to join you!" ”

"Whoa!" Zhao Cen nodded in agreement, he didn't want to stay here to fight Li Dao, after all, he still had some pimples in his heart, so he led the army to pursue Cao Cao at the moment.

As soon as Zhao Cen left, Li Wei, who had already fallen into a crisis, suddenly relaxed, knowing that it must be Cao Cao's side that did it.

On the other side, after Cao Cao escorted the Son of Heaven out of the city, he made a detour to the south of the city and crossed the river and went straight to the Qinling Mountains.

"General Cao, this is not the way out." Sitting on horseback, Liu Xie looked at Cao Cao suspiciously.

"Your Majesty doesn't know anything!" Cao Cao said with a smile: "The Xiliang army has many cavalry, if we go to the plain, the Xiliang army will soon be able to catch up, and it will not be easy to pursue if we go to the Qinling Mountains!" ”

Such a big river, Guo Yan is to send cavalry, it is difficult to cross the river to pursue for a while, if it is a detour, it is enough to give Cao Cao more time, and when the other cavalry arrives, Cao Cao also arrived at the edge of the Qinling Mountains, the terrain of that place is not suitable for cavalry galloping.

Half of the army crossed the river, and saw Zhao Cen leading the army to kill, even if Cao Cao had already prepared, but Zhao Cen came too quickly, and still half of the soldiers and horses failed to cross the river.

Here, Zhao Cen saw the Cao army crossing the river, and immediately ordered the Xiliang Iron Cavalry to charge, and many Cao troops in the rear hurriedly rushed forward, and many Cao troops were squeezed directly into the river.

Seeing this, Xiahoudun, who was pressing the formation in the rear, scolded sharply, let the three armies line up, rode his horse to the front of the formation, and led the army to fight with Zhao Cen.

Cao Cao rode his horse on the bank of the river, watching the battle on the other bank by the morning sun, Zhao Cen's Xiliang cavalry did not fight with the Cao army, after a charge, quickly broke away from the battle formation, and then organized a charge, constantly squeezing the Cao army into the river.

The river water in summer is not cold, and the river water in this area is not turbulent, and the soldiers of the Cao army who fell into the water desperately swam to the opposite bank.

Cao Cao frowned and looked at this scene, and suddenly summoned a humanitarian: "Inform Xiahoudun, let him give up the army and cross the river as soon as possible to converge!" ”

But he was already ready to give up the people and horses left on the other side, although he was distressed, but now that the goal has been achieved, what Cao Cao has to do now is to get rid of the pursuers as soon as possible and bring the Son of Heaven back, if he is entangled here for too much time, I am afraid that Chen Mo's side will also get the news.

"Whoa!"

Soon, Xiahoudun got Cao Cao's order, looking at Zhao Cen who retreated again and regrouped to prepare to charge, Xiahoudun hesitated, or according to Cao Cao's intentions, abandoned these soldiers and horses, quickly retreated to the river, and took the boat that had been prepared to the opposite bank.

The Cao army left on the north bank had no command, and seeing that their generals had fled, they jumped across the river one after another, and Zhao Cen took advantage of the situation to kill, only killing the chaotic Cao army to pieces, and many Cao troops knelt on the ground and asked for surrender.

Zhao Cen looked at Cao Cao, who had already begun to leave on the other bank, and secretly scolded Cao Cao for being ruthless in his heart, but he also didn't care about these Cao troops, regrouped his troops and horses, and made a detour to find a shallow and narrow place to cross the river.

Cao Cao had already taken the opportunity to flee south, all the way to Qinling, when Zhao Cen chased to Qinling, although he did not go deep into Qinling, but the terrain here has begun to become complex and changeable, no longer suitable for cavalry galloping, Cao Cao along the way to set up a suspicious formation, throw Zhao Cen away, but also lost a lot of baggage, soldiers and horses have also lost a lot, but this place is already Chen Mo's sphere of influence, Zhao Cen obviously has scruples, dare not chase again.

"Hahaha~" Looking at the mountains in the distance, Cao Cao, who finally got rid of the chasing soldiers, couldn't help but laugh loudly.

"Why is Cao Qing laughing?" Liu Xie looked at Cao Cao suspiciously.

"Your Majesty, the minister is laughing at that Zhao Cen has no plan, only knows the pursuit but does not know that we want to return to Nanyang, this is the only way to go, we are here to meet Li Dao that day, if Zhao Cen set up an ambush here in advance, how can we be lucky?" Cao Cao explained with a smile.

Here, it was the place where Cao Cao and Zhao Cen met for the first time that day, on the bank of the abundant water, and it was precisely when he saw his hometown that Cao Cao couldn't help laughing.

Liu Xie didn't understand where Cao Cao's laughter was, a polite smile appeared on his face, and he was about to say something, but when he saw a group of people in front of him suddenly kill, Cao Cao's laughter also stopped abruptly.

Chen Mo led the soldiers and horses, pouring out from the mountains, quickly cutting off Cao Cao's front road, looking at Cao Cao from a distance, and said with a smile: "Brother Meng De, why are you so happy?" ”

However, after Chen Mo sent his troops, he did not rush directly to Yixian, but kept changing his mind to determine the route of his trip, one was to Yixian, the luck was the highest, and the other places were not certain.

Chen Mo expected that if Cao Cao won the Son of Heaven, he would get out as soon as possible, so he ordered Wuyi to join Tai Shici, take Xu Shu as the military division to send troops to Yixian, capture Fufeng, and lead Dian Wei, Bai Bi, Han Kai, lead 10,000 troops, blockade Shangluo and other places, and lead troops and horses to wait for Cao Cao here.

Cao Cao's smile stiffened on his face, looking at Chen Mo who appeared here, he knew that he was going to suffer, Chen Mo's appearance here meant that the road to Nanyang had been blocked, and with his understanding of Chen Mo, it was impossible to leave any loopholes for himself.

"Lord, fight!" Xiahoudun looked at Chen Mo and gritted his teeth.

"No!" Cao Cao shook his head, fighting hard at the moment, he will definitely die, Chen Mo uses soldiers, Cao Cao has never underestimated him, well, not under himself, not to mention that he is now a small number of soldiers, and he is sleepy and lacking, how can he compare with Chen Mo who is waiting for work?

"Only outwitted!" Cao Cao looked in Chen Mo's direction and said, "Later, I will go up to catch up with him and lead him out of the battle, and you will lead the people in the army who are good at shooting to shoot him with bows and arrows!" ”

Hearing this, Xiahoudun nodded, and took a few steps back to select the shooter.

Cao Cao jumped out of his horse and said loudly: "Brother Bo Daoxian, I haven't seen you for a long time, you don't want to force you to die as a brother, right?" You have forgotten that you and I still have a covenant. ”

At the beginning of Chen Mo's wedding, Cao Ang came to congratulate him, and secretly made an alliance with Cao Cao.

"The younger brother doesn't want to fight with the elder brother, but the younger brother is here to welcome the Son of Heaven back to the court, the elder brother only needs to invite the Son of Heaven and let the Son of Heaven return to the court with me, and the younger brother will send the elder brother back, how about it?" Chen Mo laughed.

"You and my brother, I haven't seen you for a long time, this opening is a major event of the family and the country, it's quite boring, it's better to stop the army for the time being, you and I will be in the middle of these two armies, how about catching up with the past?" Cao Cao waved his hand and said, don't mention this first, I haven't seen you for so long, let's talk about it first.

Chen Mo smiled when he heard this: "That's what I mean, how about I order someone to send some wine and food?" ”

"Very good!" Cao Cao nodded.

"Lord, I'm afraid of fraud!" Bai Bi on the side frowned.

"Of course there is fraud." Chen Mo was not a fool, and while asking people to fetch some wine, he summoned Han Kai and said: "You gather some shooters, and when I meet Cao Cao, wait for the opportunity to shoot him, and then Bai Bi immediately leads the army to kill and recapture the Son of Heaven!" ”

"Whoa!" The two generals agreed and left.

"Lord, I'll go with you!" Dian Wei looked at Chen Mo and said.

"No, you follow, how dare Cao Cao come out to see me?" Chen Mo shook his head, in order to show his sincerity, he only brought the Chengyuan sword out, on the other side, Cao Cao also came out with a sword, the two met in the center of the two armies, Xiahoudun and Bai Bi stared at this side at the same time, but they were afraid of accidentally injuring their own lord, so they didn't dare to release the arrow.

"Luoyang has been farewell, and it has been two years so far." Cao Cao sighed: "Brother Xian is such a big means. ”

"Brother is amazing, Yanzhou is densely populated, grain and grass are abundant, and compared with the state, it is far behind." Chen Mo shook his head and sighed.

"But now it seems that it is a matter of time before Guanzhong is obtained by the virtuous brother, and this is the land of Longxing." Cao Cao laughed.

"I have to rely on my brother to carry me, if I can return the Son of Heaven to me, I am willing to take the position of the general as the elder brother, and the younger brother will be subordinate to the elder brother, how about being a chariot general?" Chen Mo looked at Cao Cao and smiled.

"I can't help it, how can I be in the position of a general, my virtuous brother will harm me, if I let my brother bring back the Son of Heaven, I am willing to treat him as a hussar." Cao Cao waved his hand again and again.

Chen Mo looked at Cao Cao and said with a little reluctance: "Brother, you and my brother, do you really want to come this far?" I can't return it. ”

"The place where Cao lives is the land of the four wars, the Son of Heaven is more important to me, and I can't retreat as a brother!" Cao Cao shook his head, looked at Chen Mo and said, "How about a favor owed to a virtuous brother for his brother?" ”

"This favor is too great, I'm afraid my brother can't afford it, you are now dead, why bother?" Chen Mo said.

"If you change places, will the virtuous brother give up?" Cao Cao asked rhetorically.

Chen Mo shook his head, looked at Cao Cao, Cao Cao also looked at Chen Mo, and the two suddenly hugged each other.

"Brother (virtuous brother) take care, don't blame the younger brother (brother)!" The two embraced, then suddenly separated, each retreating, and almost at the same time, dozens of sharp arrows shot out from behind the two of them, covering each other.

Chen Mo and Cao Cao changed their faces at the same time, each rolled and retreated, Chen Mo rolled and drew his sword, and swung away the arrows that were shot at him, Cao Cao was not so lucky, he was shot in the ass by an arrow, and he escaped his life, the two turned around and pointed at each other and scolded: "Despicable (shameless)!" ”

At the same time, the two sides saw that their lords were in danger, and each issued an order, rushed up to fight in one place, protected the lords of each family, and at the same time the two teams also launched a fierce fight!
