Chapter 904: Fight it out tonight
Zhao Hui took 6,000 men and continued to pursue Cao's army.
The 10,000 army led by Xu Huang still followed behind, only five miles away from Zhao Hui's 6,000 people.
These five miles ensure that when Zhao Hui encounters an ambush, Xu Huang behind him will not be affected, and he can calmly rescue and support Zhao Hui.
If he followed too closely, when Zhao Hui was ambushed, Xu Huang's soldiers and horses might also be within the scope of the ambush.
Although he had already encountered an ambush, it was difficult to guarantee that Cao Cao would not have a second ambush on the road.
In the dense forest just now, Zhao Hui and the others did not find the main generals of the Cao army.
With Cao Cao's caution, it was absolutely clear that it would be absolutely impossible to stop Zhao Hui with such a medical ambush.
"Prime Minister, the Zhao army has already rushed through the first wave of ambushes." Le Jin took a few remnants of the soldiers and caught up with Cao Cao first.
The Cao army, who had just been ambushed in the dense forest and shot Zhao Hui with arrows, was the one he commanded.
It's just that Lejin ran away before the battle was over, so Zhao Huidianwei and the others didn't find Lejin.
"Who is the commander of the pursuing Zhao army?" Cao Cao asked.
Regardless of whether Zhao Hui would send soldiers and horses to pursue, no matter when Cao Cao retreated, he would leave his soldiers and horses to be responsible for the rear.
"Zhao Hui, Dian Wei, and Zhao Yun are all here." Lejin Road.
Cao Cao was shocked: "Are you sure?" ”
Cao Cao thought about the pursuit of the Zhao army, and the most likely one to come was Dian Wei, but he didn't expect that Zhao Hui would personally lead the army to pursue, and there was also a Zhao Yun.
He was just retreating, wasn't Zhao Hui afraid that he would have an ambush and risk his life so easily?
It's unwise.
"The pursuing Zhao army is about 10,000 people, but there are three fierce generals, and their subordinates are more than ten zhang away from them, and the sky is too dark to see clearly, but some of those Zhao troops shouted to the general." Lejin said.
He didn't dare to get too close at that time, for fear of being discovered by Zhao Hui, and he would definitely not be able to leave at that time.
It's not that he's afraid of death, but that if he dies, no one will report the situation to Cao Cao.
Although Le Jin didn't see Zhao Hui with his own eyes, he could still see Zhao Huidian Wei Zhao Yun, their figures in the dark night, invincible in the dense forest. And those voices he heard.
Therefore, there is a basis for judging that the pursuing Zhao army was commanded by Zhao Hui and Zhao Yundian Wei. It is not that he wants to shirk responsibility, but deliberately exaggerates the strength of the pursuers.
"Prime Minister, what General Le Jin said is very likely to be right, Zhao Hui's strength can compete with Lu Bu, and he is very likely to personally lead the army to pursue." Xun Yu Dao.
Although Le Jin's strength is not the top, it is not bad, he can see that the strength of the three generals of the Zhao army in the dense forest is not inferior to Xu Chu Guan Yu.
And in Zhao Hui's army, those who have this strength are Zhao Hui, Zhao Yundian, and Wei.
"It's so daring." Cao Cao sighed.
If it were him ten years ago, Cao Cao would have personally pursued him.
Even if he is now, Cao Cao will do the same.
But he was forced to do so, ten years ago, he had no one in his hands, so he could only go in person.
Now he is because if he wants to win, he needs to give it his all, not only him, but everybody.
But Zhao Hui is different, Zhao Hui doesn't need to take risks at all now.
If Cao Cao exchanges his identity with Zhao Hui now, Cao Cao will only send his generals to pursue, and he can strategize in the rear himself.
"Do you have a plan?" Cao Cao said leisurely.
The army is still advancing, but Xun Yu Cheng Yu and others are now gathered around Cao Cao.
Originally, Cao Cao wanted to retreat, at most to block the pursuers who appeared, and try to preserve his strength.
But now that Zhao Hui personally led the army to pursue, Cao Cao wondered in his heart whether he wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to kill Zhao Hui.
Zhao Hui is only 10,000 people now, if he turns around and strikes a blow, with an army of 70,000, against the 10,000 army in Zhao Hui's hands, the probability of winning is really high.
But if it fails, it's all over.
"Do you want to fight once?"
Cheng Yuxun and others all have this idea in their hearts.
Although it is said that it is now withdrawn to Guandu, it seems more secure.
But even if the army withdrew to Guandu and wanted to defeat Zhao Hui, their hope was still very slim.
It's better to divide the winner here.
It's a rare opportunity.
It is almost impossible to want to have such an opportunity in the future.
To kill Zhao Hui in an army of more than 100,000 people, the difficulty is almost impossible.
And now, there are 10,000 people around Zhao Hui, even if Zhao Hui still has a backhand, adding 20,000 people to Zhao Hui, they also have an absolute advantage.
"Prime Minister, immediately send someone to support Cao Xiu and Cao Ren." Xun Yu Dao.
Cao Cao retreated this time and arranged two ambushes.
The first is Lejin, which has been swept by Zhao Hui, and the other is Cao Xiu and Cao Ren are in charge.
Again, there were only 5,000 people.
Normally, if you encounter an ambush, the enemy army will retreat, and the two ambushes Cao Cao is already very safe.
"Xuande, ambush Zhao Hui this time, victory or defeat in one fell swoop." Cao Cao said.
Although in terms of troops, he can now surpass Zhao Hui, but if there is no Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, Cao Cao is still a little lacking in confidence.
After all, by Zhao Hui's side, there are now two fierce generals, Zhao Yundian and Wei.
"Prime Minister, if necessary, give a direct order, and Liu Bei will never refuse." Liu Bei said.
Compared with Cao Cao, who was still worried about defeat, Liu Bei preferred to have a showdown with Zhao Hui now.
won, he immediately took Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to kill Jizhou Youzhou.
If he loses, then he will go to Jingzhou immediately.
As for saying that he lost and had no life to go, this Liu Bei didn't think much about it.
Zhang Fei is here, even if he is defeated, it will be difficult for Liu Bei to stop others if he wants to run.
"Okay, with your words, I'm at ease."
"Xu Chu, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei obeyed the order and ordered the three of you to immediately lead an army of 10,000 to support Cao Xiu and Cao Ren. Tonight, Zhao Hui is bound to be killed. ”
Although he wanted to directly lead the army back to fight Zhao Hui, Cao Cao was also worried that Zhao Hui would find out, and then scared Zhao Hui away.
Xu Chu, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei led an army of 10,000 and left.
Among them, Zhang Fei led Liu Bei's 3,000 men.
Although Guan Yu and Liu Bei are sworn brothers, he is still Cao Cao's person on the surface.
The three of them received the order and quietly broke away from the large army with their soldiers and horses.
Cao Cao and Liu Bei continued to ride their war horses side by side and slowly advance, but the speed of the retreat of the army slowed down at the moment.
The army was ready to turn around at any time and attack Zhao Hui.
Although Zhang Fei didn't like Cao Cao, he didn't want to follow Cao Cao's orders.
But this time it was Zhao Hui who was dealing with him, and he was also the enemy in his heart.
"Second brother, after tonight, you can go with us." On the way, Zhang Fei and Guan Yu were talking.
He was about to fight Zhao Hui, but Zhang Fei was not nervous at all, and he still had the heart to think about the aftermath of the war.
