Gushui, which is a wide river in Qingzhou. The surface of the river, which would normally have been frozen for thousands of miles at this time, has been flowing again due to the scorching sun of the previous days, which should have thawed at the end of the month.

"Da! Da! Da! ”

At the edge of the Gushui, countless noisy horses' hooves sounded, and Lu Bu led the Bingzhou Iron Cavalry to escape here under the "chase" of Xiahou Yuan.

Looking at the river flowing slowly in the riverbed in the distance, the water was no deeper than submerging the calves of the war horse, Lu Bu directly ordered without care: "Cross the river." ”

The whole army waded straight through the river without slowing down.

Soon, a cavalry chased the Bingzhou Iron Cavalry to the Gushui side, looking at the Bingzhou Iron Cavalry who had just crossed the Gushui, Xiahou Yuan also didn't care and said: "Cross the river." ”

The whole army followed and prepared to cross the river. Just as the army marched to the middle of the riverbed, Xiahou Yuan suddenly saw an arrow flashing red in the distance rising into the sky, and just when he was in doubt, a low sound was faintly heard above the riverbed, from far to near, getting bigger and bigger.

"Not good!" Xiahou Yuan looked at the shallow Gushui and the high raised riverbed on both banks, and instantly understood what was happening.

"Withdraw! Retreat! The river is coming! Xiahou Yuan roared frantically, and kept urging the war horse under his crotch to retreat to the rear. Although he was relatively close to the river bank in front of him at this time, he knew that Lu Bu would definitely be waiting for him in front, and if he evacuated forward, he would be captured by Lu Bu even if he survived.

Under Xiahou Yuan's frantic shouts, Sergeant Cao immediately understood the current situation, and they all rushed to retreat towards both sides of the strait. They don't care if they will meet Lu Bu when they advance, they don't have a BMW like Xiahou Yuan, with their speed, it would be good to be able to survive the flood, who can consider other issues.

Upstream of Gushui, a team of no more than a few dozen people is looking at their masterpiece. The rolling water, after losing the obstruction of the embankment, turned into a monstrous wave and continued to rush downward. They were on a high slope, and countless rivers flowed down from it, and the rush was like a flood.

Fire and water are ruthless, and the power of fire and water is the power of heaven, and mortals are powerless to stop it. The cavalry under Xiahou Yuan's command looked so fragile under the power of heaven, and countless cavalry who had not had time to evacuate were directly swept away by the rushing flood, and they did not know whether they were alive or dead. The fifteen thousand cavalry were directly lost, and a large part of the remaining soldiers were located on the side of the embankment where Lu Bu was.

Xiahou Yuan was on the bank on the other side, staring blankly at the crazy rushing river in front of him, his face full of remorse. At this time, there were only about 3,000 cavalry left around him, and the rest were either flooded or on the opposite bank.

But the Cao cavalry on the opposite bank soon heard the sound of horses' hooves in their ears, and the Bingzhou Iron Cavalry, which had "fled in a hurry" in their eyes, returned.

Lu Bu led the Bingzhou Iron Cavalry to the edge of Gushui, looking at the scene in front of him, his heart was full of shock. The generals looked at Chen Gong in awe, they knew whose handiwork it was. borrowed only a few dozen small soldiers, which caused the scene in front of him, and the military advisor is really a celestial person!

Lu Bu's heart was full of the joy of revenge, thinking about the tens of thousands of troops and thousands of iron horsemen who had been meaninglessly abandoned by him before, Lu Bu still felt pain in his heart.

"Kill them all! Not a single one to stay! Looking at the thousands of embarrassed Cao soldiers on the shore of Gushui, Lu Bu shouted in an emotionless low voice.

As soon as Lu Bu gave an order, the iron cavalry under his command pounced frantically like a vengeful hungry wolf, and quickly wiped out the remnants of the army in front of him.

Seeing that the cavalry under his command was slaughtered by Lu Bu like this, Xiahou Yuan, who was on the opposite bank, had fierce eyes and roared hoarsely: "Lu Fengxian! Someone will kill you! ”

Lu Bu stood on the other side of the river from afar, looking at Xiahou Yuan who looked like a wounded beast in the distance, a trace of happiness flashed in his eyes, and the corner of his mouth sneered: "Okay!" I'm waiting! ”

Then Lu Bu led the Hezhou Iron Cavalry to leave slowly without looking back, leaving only Xiahou Yuan, who was blocked by Gushui, standing in place with a pale face and full of remorse.

Soon, Cao Cao and Li Dian's army followed along the horseshoe prints of the cavalry and saw this bleak scene on the shore of Gushui.

"What's going on?" Cao Cao asked in a low voice with an expressionless face.

When Xiahou Yuan, who was lost in despair, heard this, his body trembled, and he knelt in front of Cao Cao with a face full of shame: "Lord, Yuan fell for Lu Bu's plan, resulting in most of the dead and wounded soldiers under his command, and there is not much left, please punish the lord!" ”

When Cao Cao heard this, he sighed softly, looked at Xiahou Yuan, who was extremely ashamed in front of him, stepped forward and gently supported his arms, wanting to help him up: "Victory is not arrogant, defeat is not discouraged, victory and defeat are common things in soldiers, you don't need to take it to heart." ”

"No!" Xiahou Yuan knelt on the ground and refused to get up, his eyes were firm and said: "It was a certain brother who killed tens of thousands of brothers under his command, the state has national laws, the army has military regulations, and a certain person should be punished, otherwise how can he be worthy of my brothers!" Please also punish the Lord! ”

Cao Cao looked at Xiahou Yuan, who had a resolute attitude, his heart was full of love, and he smiled lightly: "Okay!" Miaocai, I really didn't mistake you. In this case, I will punish you for training another 20,000 elite horsemen, and then attack Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu in the future, and I want you to be the vanguard! ”

"Lord!" Xiahou Yuan was grateful and bowed.

"Okay, the chief general of the first army, don't be a little daughter, hurry up!" Cao Cao held it up with both hands and comforted him with a smile.

After dealing with Xiahou Yuan's emotions, Cao Cao slowly walked to the edge of Gushui, looked at the rolling river in front of him with a solemn gaze, and said in a low tone: "I knew that you were a great talent, but I never thought that you would be so resourceful and far-reaching!" ”

I don't know when, Xi Zhi slowly walked to Cao Cao's side, and sighed lightly: "Lord, the blame lies with someone this time." It's not spring yet, but these days are days of scorching sun, and such a strange weather has not been noticed, which is indeed a mistake. ”

"No, the blame is not with you, but with so-and-so." Cao Cao said in a low voice: "I knew that Chen Gong had such a strategy, even if I couldn't convince him at the beginning, I had to wipe him out, and it was because I was too soft-hearted that caused today's disaster." ”

"Chen Gong's strategy is indeed far-reaching, I am afraid that he has already expected that Lu Bu will have problems with this dispatch of troops, and has already laid out a backhand to fight for Lu Bu to gain a glimmer of life." Xi Zhicai said with emotion.

"Yes! With such a great talent, why did he miss it in the first place? In this way, letting Lu Bu go back is tantamount to letting the tiger return to the mountain. And after this battle, Lu Bu will definitely trust Chen Gong more and entrust him with important tasks, Lu Bu is easy to deal with, but Lu Bu and Chen Gong... After that, it may be difficult for us to take Qingzhou. Cao Cao said with annoyance.

"The lord doesn't need to worry, Chen Gong is good at layout, and this water attack shows his foresight. But it is precisely because of his far-reaching thinking that he reacts a little woodenly in the face of unexpected situations, and he often makes mistakes in a hurry, just like before. As long as we use some stratagems, it is not difficult to take Qingzhou. Xi Zhicai said confidently.
