Cao Liang endured great grief and sent the last group of family members to Xiaopingjin, and Liu Ying, who didn't know it, kept asking about Cao Yan, Cao Liang could only pretend to be calm and comfort his mother: "Mother, don't worry, you go first, my father and I will come later." ”

Liu Ying was convinced of Cao Liang's words, and with a relaxed smile, she rode away.

Cao Liangmu stood as if he was dead, and great sorrow lingered in his heart.

Liu Jing urged him: "Major General, we are also evacuated quickly, General Cao's side may not be able to hold out for long." ”

Cao Liang stood still, his eyes showed a resolute look, and he said in a deep voice: "Now that the team has crossed the river, I have no worries, if I don't go back to try, I will be unwilling after all!" ”

Liu Jing frowned and said, "But General Cao has ordered ......."

Cao Liang intercepted and said: "I have my own plans for this, and now I still have two hundred crossbowmen in my hands, even if I can't kill the siege of the Sima family, there is no problem in self-preservation." ”

Liu Jing sighed, it seems that Cao Liang is determined to go back to save Cao Yan, their father is deeply affectionate, and Liu Jing can't say anything anymore. Previously, Cao Liang took into account that the large army had not yet withdrawn, and now that he had nothing to worry about, he naturally wanted to let it go.

Just as Cao Liang was about to leave, a man galloped on horseback, and when he got close, he rolled off the horse, knelt down in front of Cao Liang, and cried to the ground.

"Young prince, prince and marquis...... He killed himself! ”

Cao Liang's eyes were dark, his body shook, and he almost fell to the ground, but fortunately, Liu Jing's eyes were quick and he grabbed him.

Hearing this bad news, Cao Liang's heart was like a knife, and tears were pouring out.

After all, it was still a step too late, Cao Yan was deeply encircled, would rather die than give in, and finally ended his life in a self-inflicted way, Cao Liang's sorrow came from it, and he couldn't do it himself.

Although he said that he came through time, and this cheap father does not have any special feelings, but after getting along for a long time, Cao Liang's feelings for this family are increasing day by day, although the way of loving mother and strict father is different, but their love is selfless, in times of crisis, Cao Yan left the hope of life to Cao Liang, but put himself in death, father's love is like a mountain.

"Major General, people can't be resurrected after death, mourn!" Liu Jing also endured his grief and comforted, "General Cao was unfortunately killed, we can't stay here for a long time, let's withdraw first, the gentleman will take revenge, ten years is not too late, this blood debt must be repaid from the Sima family in the future!" ”

After Cao Yan died in battle, it means that the broken army has been completely annihilated, and I believe that the unstoppable Sima army will attack soon, and they can only follow in the footsteps of Cao Yan if they stay here, although they are sad, Liu Jing still strongly advises Cao Liang to retreat quickly.

Although Cao Liang was heartbroken, he did not lose his mind, and knew that there was no point in staying here, so he could only order everyone to retreat to Xiaopingjin Ferry with tears.

Fortunately, all those who stayed were cavalry, and the evacuation speed was very fast, and soon they arrived at the crossing of the Yellow River.

At this time, the sunset has passed, dusk is approaching, and the cold wind is rising, which is extremely cold.

The crossing of the river by the large army has basically been completed, and there are only sporadic personnel left on the bank, who seem to be waiting for Cao Liang and them.

Behind him, there was already the sound of rumbling horses' hooves, and it was obvious that Sima Jun's pursuers had arrived.

Sima Jun came really quickly, if Cao Liang hesitated a little, it was likely that they would be swallowed up by this surging cavalry tide, but now that they had rushed to the bank of the Yellow River, there was no need to worry about anything.

Cao Liang ordered the remaining men to cross the river immediately, and at the same time removed the planks from the river as they withdrew, leaving no chance for Sima Jun to cross the river.

Although it seems that the river surface is frozen, it has been six or nine days now, and it has not been long since the opening of the Qijiu River, although the weather now looks colder than in previous years, but the ice of the Yellow River has become extremely unstable, especially in the center of the river, the ice has melted significantly, even if you walk on the ice alone, it is already very dangerous.

Thankfully, the ferry order provided Wen Qin with a good solution, and the tiled planks relieved the pressure on the ice and allowed thousands of men and horses to cross the Yellow River without any problems.

Cao Liang dismantled while walking, which was equivalent to cutting off the possibility of Sima Jun crossing the river to pursue, even if Sima Jun concocted the same method and used the same method to build a wooden plank bridge, then they would have enough time to find so many planks, so by the time they crossed the Yellow River, Cao Liang and his party were basically far away.

Sima Shi chased to the bank of the Yellow River almost in one go, but looking at Cao Liang, who had already reached the center of the river and demolished the wooden bridge, he was still very annoyed, and punched him fiercely, smashing it into the palm of his left hand.

It's just one step away, and it's all in vain.

If it weren't for Cao Yan's bloody battle and the delay for a long time, Sima Shi could have annihilated them all on the south bank of the Yellow River before Cao Liang crossed the river, but now, he could only watch Cao Liang leave without doing anything.

In the final analysis, it was Cao Yan's old guy who was too much of a hindrance, so that Sima Shi could never open a gap on top of the superior forces, this guy was really innocent.

There was a sudden noise on the left side, Sima Shi turned his head to look, but it was Sima Wang's horse jumping on the ice, he pulled the reins, let the horse's hooves trample on the ice heavily, and found that the ice was unusually strong, so he shouted at Sima Shi: "There is no problem on this ice, Hugh is going to let Cao Liang run!" ”

As he spoke, he led a group of cavalry to step on the ice and galloped towards Cao Liang in the heart of the river.

Sima Shi was anxious to call him back, but Sima Wang was eager for revenge, and saw that Cao Liang was already red-eyed, how could he turn back.

When the others saw Sima Wang galloping on the ice unharmed, they couldn't help but be moved, and jumped off the embankment one after another, wanting to join Sima Wang's pursuit.

Sima Shi hurriedly stopped it, although Sima Wang is safe and sound now, it does not mean that there is no danger on the ice of the Yellow River, otherwise, Cao Liang's people can directly step on the ice to cross the river, so why bother to lay wooden planks on the ice.

And the more people on the ice, the heavier the weight, the more dangerous it becomes, so Sima Shi didn't dare to send people up easily, and as for Sima Wang, he could only secretly pray that nothing would happen.

Cao Liang walked cautiously, and he had to dismantle the planks while walking, and the speed was naturally not much faster, but Sima Wang was menacing, but in the blink of an eye, it was less than a stone's throw away from Cao Liang, Sima Wang gritted his teeth and shouted: "Cao Liang is leaving, take your life!" ”
