Chapter 802: Brother Poison
Xiahou Yuan has a lot of soldiers and horses, at least it looks no less than Zhang Liao's.
Xiahou Yuan is good at traveling thousands of miles, and his combat style and his own personality can be said to complement each other.
Zhang Liao had also heard of Xiahou Yuan's reputation and skills, and when he saw him coming, he couldn't help but beat a little drum in his heart.
It's not that Zhang Liao was afraid of Xiahou Yuan, it's just that when he was ordered to come, the potter only asked him to come and arrest Cao Cao's family, but he didn't say that he would fight to the death with the other party.
Xiahou Yuan is a general who followed Cao Cao to the northwest, does his appearance here mean that Cao Cao has quickly quelled the Zhanglu Rebellion in the northwest, and Xiahou Yuan may just be an outpost? And Cao Cao's brigade backup may arrive at any time.
There is no need to take risks, and it is important to tell the prime minister the news as soon as possible.
Zhang Liao swept through with a sword, and the blade slashed through Cao Zhang's face, and then reined in the horse, and commanded his soldiers in a loud voice: "Line up to meet the enemy!" ”
The execution of the wolf cavalry in Bingzhou was very fast, and they quickly abandoned Cao Zhang and his party, gathered in one place, and set up a formation.
Getting this respite, Cao Zhang didn't dare to slack off, he hurriedly turned the horse's head and made peace with Xiahou Yuan.
Xiahou Yuan used the army array to wrap Cao Zhang and his party, and then drove his horse to the front of the formation, and said in a loud voice: "Who is Your Excellency?" ”
"In Xia Zhang Liao, I have heard of the wonderful general Huwei for a long time, and it is really a great blessing in life to see it today."
Xiahou Yuan snorted and said angrily: "Zhang Liao, I know that you are a general under Lu Bu, and you are extremely prestigious in the Bingzhou army, how can you do such an ugly thing to bully juniors?" ”
Zhang Liao said with a smile: "On the order of the prime minister, I specially invited Gongzi Cao to go back to reminisce, and Gongzi intended to guide him, and Zhang Mou just accompanied him with a few tricks, so how can I talk about bullying?" ”
Xiahou Yuan said: "What you said is good, if you don't need to protect the second son today, I will definitely make you look good!" ”
Zhang Liao sneered: "In this way, Zhang also wants to thank General Xiahou for your mercy?" ”
Xiahou Yuan said loudly: "You go back and tell the pottery merchant that Sikong already knows about Zhang Lu's attack on Guanzhong, this great grace Sikong remembers in his heart, and now he has specially led the soldiers and horses to meet with the prime minister to hunt the Central Plains, his hot pillow, Sikong will repay it well this time!" ”
Zhang Liao's heart jumped slightly, and the speed of Cao Cao was really fast enough, he really pacified the disaster of Zhang Lu in Guanzhong, and led his troops to rush here.
Xuchang City has just been captured, and the two cities of Chenliu and Puyang in Yanzhou have not yet been captured, and now they are only taking the territory of Yuzhou, and there is still half the way to conquer the entire Central Plains, but Cao Cao actually rushed back so quickly.
It seems that this future battle is not easy to fight.
Zhang Liao arched his hand at Xiahou Yuan with a knife, and said: "General Xiahou's words, Zhang Mou remembers them, don't worry, I will definitely bring these words to the prime minister!" ”
The two men were wary of each other, and slowly led their troops to retreat.
After Zhang Liao's army withdrew, Cao Zhang hurriedly asked Xiahou Yuan: "Uncle Miaocai, it is not only Zhang Liao's army that is chasing us, but there is also another army and horses, which are now heading towards my mother's team!" ”
Xiahou Yuan hurriedly said: "Zhang'er, don't worry, it's not just me, there are still two generals, Yu Ban and Li Dian, who came to support this time on Sikong's order, we are acting separately beforehand, and I think they will definitely find their spouses." ”
Cao Zhang nodded, but the anxious look on his face remained unchanged.
……
At the same time, Hou Cheng's soldiers and horses finally found the whereabouts of Cao Pi and others!
Cao Pi could have escaped, but because of a conflict with Cao Zhi, who chased him here on horseback, the trip was delayed.
Cao Zhi resolutely refused to let Cao Pi leave Mrs. Ding, Mrs. Bian, and Cao's younger brothers and sisters.
But Cao Pi resolutely didn't listen, but Cao Zhi immediately grabbed Cao Pi's sleeve and didn't let go.
The rest of Cao Jun was not easy to persuade, so they could only watch from afar.
"In this situation, where can I have so many scruples!" Cao Pi yelled at Cao Zhi angrily: "The two of us are my father's adult heirs, if the two of us are arrested, it will definitely affect my father's great cause!" ”
Cao Zhi's face was flushed with anger, and he said anxiously: "Could it be that the capture of other younger brothers and sisters and mothers will not affect my father's great cause?" ”
Faced with Cao Zhi, who could be more serious, Cao Pi shook his arm angrily: "You spread it out for me!" ”
"I don't! Unless you come back with me to pick up your mother and kiss them! ”
Just as the two were tearing, Hou Cheng's soldiers and horses rushed to the scene.
"Haha!" Hou Cheng laughed loudly and said, "The sky has eyes, and it really made me catch up!" A certain is the prime minister who sat down and the general Hou Cheng, and specially came to capture Cao Pi, which one is Cao Pi! Get off the horse and follow me back to Xuchang! ”
Cao Pi didn't wait for a reply, but saw Cao Zhi tugging on Cao Pi's sleeve with one hand, pointing at Cao Pi's face with the other and shouting, "He is!" ”
Cao Pi was in a cold sweat on his head.
"Little brute, you actually sold me?"
"Who told you not to go back with me to save my mother and kiss them!"
Hou Chengyi waved his hand and said, "Give it to me!" ”
Cao Pi pulled his sleeves vigorously and said to Cao Zhi: "Block them, block them!" ”
The soldiers who protected Cao Pi and Cao Zhi hurriedly rushed up to block Hou Chengjun.
Cao Zhi was stubborn and tore with Cao Pi on the horse.
Cao Pi was anxious and said angrily: "Stinky boy, if you are so filial, what are you going to do with me?" Why not be by your mother's side! ”
Cao Zhi said angrily: "You have Uncle Zilian's talisman seal in your hand, and these soldiers have also been ordered by Uncle Zilian in advance, so they all listen to you!" I will not come with you to ask for soldiers and horses, but I will stay there, and my mother and they will have no one to protect them, and sooner or later they will be humiliated by the soldiers of the potters......"
The anger in Cao Pi's eyes grew stronger.
Hou Cheng was also afraid that they would run away at the moment, and in the chaos of the army, he had a brain fever for a while, and he actually made a faint move.
I only heard Hou Cheng shouting loudly: "Release the arrow, release the arrow for me!" Shoot their horses and don't let them run! ”
A group of wolf riders in the rear of the wolf cavalry, specializing in long-range archery, hurriedly picked up their short bows and began to strafe below the Cao soldiers.
Many of the Cao soldiers' horses were shot over and fell to the ground.
The problem is that the sword has no eyes, and Hou Cheng just wants his subordinates to shoot the war horse to death and break Cao Pi's leg strength.
But the problem is that even if the soldiers who are riding wolf horses in the state are skilled in archery, there will always be times when they miss, not to mention that some of them have only average archery skills, and they will inevitably be injured by mistake.
Many of the Cao soldiers who fell off their horses were also accidentally shot, and let out a terrible scream.
And Cao Pi's war horse was also shot over by an arrow ridden by a wolf riding in the state at once.
The war horse was hit by an arrow in the neck, and the ladder let out a mournful roar, and Cao Pi was lifted down at once.
"Ah~!"
Cao Pi shouted, and rolled off the war horse with Cao Zhi, and the two became entangled and fell to the ground.
Cao Zhi fell in pain, he rubbed his head and asked Cao Pi weakly, "Brother, are you okay?" ”
Before he could finish speaking, he saw Cao Zhi's eyes suddenly widen.
He looked at Cao Pi, who was pressed under him with a frightened expression, and his eyes were full of horror and disbelief.
Cao Pi has an arrow in his hand!
It was his own arrow, and that arrow was being pierced into Cao Zhi's heart by him at this moment.
Cao Zhi trembled and said, "Brother, you ......"
Before he could finish speaking, he saw Cao Pi under Cao Zhi, and suddenly stretched out his hand to cover Cao Zhi's mouth.
Cao Pi slammed the arrow into it and said, "Fourth brother, don't blame me, you forced me!" ”
Cao Zhi Cao Pi pinched his mouth and dragged his body, wanting to speak but couldn't speak, he could only tremble and struggle.
When he was young, he saw that his body was completely paralyzed, pressing on Cao Pi's body, and there was no sound at all.
