When Zhang Ming and the others were far away, a soldier released a few arrows and ignited the fire.

Suddenly, the fire burst into flames.

Spread throughout the mountain.

Cao Jun, when he found the fire in front of him, knew that he couldn't get by, so he didn't dare to move on.

The tens of thousands of Cao troops chasing after him in the rear also stopped.

At this time, Zhang Ming and the others took the opportunity to walk away.

In this battle, the gains are huge.

The enemy did not chase after them, but Zhang Ming and they also left quickly.

By noon, Zhang Ming and the others had already walked a long way, and at this time they were in the predetermined position and were ready to leave in a hot air balloon.

"Zilong, I'll go back first, you stay and lead your brother to evacuate."

Zhang Ming wants to go first, and he wants to go back to command the army.

This major result will certainly change the situation on both sides.

And these armies also need someone to lead them, so Zhao Yun stayed.

"Don't worry, big brother, I'll bring them back safely."

Zhang Ming nodded, and asked the soldier to be carried into the hot air balloon.

"There are also some people in the rear, ready to attack their grain routes."

Zhang Ming got into the hot air balloon, and Zhang Ming took off the cloth strip that was blocked in the ban.

"Give him some water."

Something took out the water bag and fed Yu Ban some water.

After a while, the hot air balloon lifted into the air, and Yu Ban knew how they had come over.

"Liaohou is really not an ordinary person, if this thing attacks the city, I'm afraid there is no city that can't be defeated."

Yu Ban thought that if he put some stones on this thing and smashed it on the city wall, who would be able to hold it.

"This thing is too little, and it is not easy to use the siege, so it is better to keep it for surprise attacks on the enemy's rear."

Yu Ban didn't speak, and pondered, it was true.

Zhang Ming used this hot air balloon to really have an effect.

This surprise attack caused Cao's army heavy losses.

"I heard you killed Dian Wei?"

"Hehe, who did you listen to, Cao Cao?"

"I don't know who said it, it's been rumored."

"Maybe Cao Cao wanted to borrow my hand to kill Dian Wei, Dian Wei is not dead, Cao Cao is very passive."

Zhang Ming sat down, drank some water, and continued: "If Dian Wei dies, Cao Cao will be able to give him a great official, publicize his loyalty, and prevent Dian Wei from being used by me, if he doesn't die, Cao Cao is really difficult to do." ”

"If you don't rescue, you will chill the hearts of other people, if you want to rescue, you need to pay a great price to know the importance of Dian Wei, and Cao Cao can't afford to pay this price now."

Yu Ban didn't speak, he would ask this because he himself had become a captive.

Now, Yu Ban is also beginning to worry about his future.

Zhang Ming said: "I have imprisoned Dian Wei for two years, but he has not surrendered to me, it is useless to lock him up, and it is impossible for me to torture him, so it is better to kill him directly." ”

"In the end I let him go and set him free, but he told him that he couldn't be my enemy anymore, maybe he really wouldn't be my enemy."

Yu Ban's eyes widened and said, "Did you really let Dian Wei go?" ”

"That's right, let him go, give him freedom."

"Dian Wei's ability, you are not necessarily his opponent when you really fight, you are not afraid that he will resent you, and finally be your enemy on the battlefield."

Zhang Ming shook his head and said: "We don't have much hatred between the two sides, I didn't insult him, I didn't kill his family, I just captured him on the battlefield." ”

Yes, I don't have the ability on the battlefield, and if I was caught, I can't blame others.

The positions are different, and no one is to blame for winning or losing.

Yu Ban, at this time, he can't say how much he hates Zhang Ming.

What happens on the battlefield, the opponent cannot be blamed.

The two sat opposite each other, silent for a long time, and then Zhang Ming said again: "It's a pity that Dian Wei can't die on the battlefield, he is to cover Xu Chu's departure, he promised me to surrender, and I promised him not to pursue Xu Chu and Cao Cao." ”

"On that day, if I don't agree, he and his soldiers will fight to the death, I want to get Dian Wei, I can't bear to kill him, so I promised him to give up the pursuit of Xu Chu and Cao Cao."

"However, I still killed Xu Chu with my own hands today."

On the one hand, Cao Cao didn't know about these things, and Zhang Ming didn't say it.

Xu Chu died in battle, and Yu Ban also sighed with emotion.

The two sides did not continue to speak.

flew for a long time, and finally landed, and Yu Ban was temporarily detained.

On Cao Jun's side, it was already chaotic at this time.

Cao Ren finally woke up, but the injury was not light.

In modern parlance, it's a concussion.

Cao Ren woke up slowly, and his head hurt terribly.

"What, the tiger idiot died in battle, and Yu Ban was arrested."

When Cao Ren heard this, it was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day.

He began to cry.

"The tiger idiot is all covering me, otherwise with his ability, he can run away."

"Order all armies to hold their own lines, and no one is allowed to fight."

"Guarantee the food, let Lu Bu send people to patrol the grain road, don't make a mistake."

Although Cao Ren was lying down and was in pain, he knew the seriousness of the matter, and he had to stabilize the army first.

Cao Jun's blow is huge, two generals.

Yu Ban is the main general who defends a mountain peak, and at this time he is led by the deputy general.

Cao Ren immediately began to write letters to Cao Cao, which was a major time and could change many plans.

And Zhang Ming, after going back, called a few generals.

"Send troops immediately, no need to go to war, just under the peaks."

Now, Zhang Ming doesn't want to fight yet, and if he wants to fight, he will have to wait for the night, so let's see if there are any flaws between the peaks.

Zhang Ming also took people to the front line, where he had to summarize the situation in all aspects.

In the evening, Zhang Ming let a small part of the army attack.

At this time, most of the special forces had not yet returned.

Hot air balloons can only transport a few people at a time and take a while.

Zhang Ming: They began to attack tentatively.

After attacking a few times, Zhang Ming has been compiling news.

"Well, there's a problem."

Zhang Ming saw the problem.

It turns out that there is relatively little connection between the peaks, although this does not mean anything.

"Maybe this Cao Ren is not lightly injured."

"I'll see tomorrow."

Zhang Ming ordered the troops to be collected and returned.

The next day, Zhang Ming began to attack.

A full-scale assault on several peaks, of course, is a tentative attack.

Sure enough, all the peaks and all the intersections went into a defensive state.

"Lao Tzu will attack you all the way, see how you respond."

Zhang Ming felt that there must be something wrong with their command, and it might have a miraculous effect to attack all the way.

Zhang Ming began to choose a mountain peak to attack, and this road was the army led by Lu Bu.

Lu Bu also received the news and knew what was happening.

He defended with an army, and it was difficult for others to break through his defenses.

Zhang Ming asked Zhang Fei and Gao Ran to attack there with tens of thousands of people.

But it's all tentative attacks, or very careful attacks.

A large number of soldiers with shields and cautiously advanced, and after approaching, the two sides fired at each other, and each of them suffered only about 100 casualties in a day.

At this time, Zhang Ming has been trying his best to find their flaws.

Cao Cao received the news in the rear.

"Ah, I'm mad too."

"In one day, I lost two lovers."

Cao Cao shouted, crying very sadly.

This time it's really sad, Xu Chu has always been his favorite general.

At the beginning, Xu Chu and Dian Wei had been guarding him.

Now, he's lost both of them.

There is also Yu Ban, his ability is also very strong.

Cao Cao wailed.

I fainted from crying.

Xu Chang was flustered.

Cao Cao is the backbone of everyone.

He already had a headache, and who knows if he can wake up when he faints.

When Cao Cao woke up, he hurriedly called the people around him.

Cao Ren was injured, and there were relatively few medical treatments, and his head was still very painful at this time.

They only prepared medicine for trauma, not medicine for Cao Ren.

As a result, Cao Ren's condition became a big problem.

Cao Cao must now reappoint a man as commander-in-chief.

There are many more Cao generals, Xiahoudun, Xiahou Yuan and others have good abilities.

However, they can be generals who charge into battle, but they are not good candidates to be commanders.

Without a good commander, it is very dangerous, because they are facing Zhang Ming.

Zhang Ming still has many special squads in the rear, where they are investigating sabotage.

As long as they are given a chance, Zhang Ming doesn't mind attacking them again.

Cao Cao didn't have any good candidates for a while.

At this point, it's not a way to leave it like that.

Cao Cao was very embarrassed.

"Are you going to withdraw your troops?"

At this time, they blocked Zhang Ming's time for more than 20 days.

This cost him two generals and wounded one.

Cao Cao was very helpless.

Difficult to decide, Cao Cao called a few of his staff.

"Speed up the evacuation."

"Those families who don't want to evacuate, don't care about them now, let them hand over a piece of money, at least 30% of the family property, and then let them go."

Cao Cao didn't care about anything else now.

If something goes wrong at the front, he must evacuate immediately.

On the other side, Xi Zhicai and Zhang He led an army of 50,000 and had already conquered several county towns on the periphery.

These are all unimportant counties, not strategic locations, and there is not much threat to them for the time being.

If there is no threat, it does not mean that it is useless, at least there is a lot of psychological pressure on many people.

Xi Zhicai did not break out, and he was also waiting for an opportunity.

At this time, the enemy also guarded against them, and Xi Zhicai did not find a good opportunity to decide the victory.

The whole situation was very unfavorable to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao has been thinking about a way to break the game.

Speed up the progress of transferring personnel, this is what Cao Cao can do.

On the third day, Cao Cao ordered the dispatch of troops and began to forcibly transfer the people.

Originally, the progress was slow, and there were swords, and the efficiency of the transfer was greatly improved.

But holding a knife to force the people to move, this is very hurtful, and Cao Cao can't help it.

In the end, Cao Cao sent Xun You to replace Cao Ren, the most commander-in-chief.

Xun You's ability is enough, but he doesn't have enough prestige.

However, he secretly wrote letters to several Cao generals, and they fully supported Xun You, and it was expected that there would be no major problems.

Cao Cao could only arrange it like this.

Speeding up the progress, Cao Cao had already arranged for the emperor to move south.

Many officials in the palace have been transferred, but the emperor can't leave early.

The emperor's affairs affect the whole body.

If the emperor runs away, people's hearts will fluctuate.

Now, Cao Cao doesn't have to hide it.

After transferring for so long, people's hearts have long been floating.

So, he prepared to arrange for the emperor's evacuation.

The emperor was evacuated, but Cao Cao could not evacuate yet.

He had to delay as much as possible and move the population as much as he could.

Zhang Ming tried for several days and finally found something.

"Cao Ren must have a problem, and there may be a problem with their command system."

"This is the opportunity, attack Lu Bu."

Zhang Ming plans to come to a real, real fight.

However, this battle is not easy to fight, and he wants to start from the periphery first.

Zhang Ming ordered the army to attack at a certain intensity.

And he's always looking for a flaw.

Finally, the special forces squad in the rear made another meritorious service.

They found that there were troops patrolling the mountain roads, and the most important thing was that they were led by generals.

It's not cool to kill some soldiers, but it's fun to kill a few generals.

There were not many troops leading patrols, only a few hundred, to a thousand.

In the mountains, this is the world of their special forces.

If you can't do anything head-on, then sneak attack.

Sneak attacks are the specialty of the special forces.

The captain of the rear detachment has the right to fight.

So, a team leader found two captains nearby.

"It's been too long, take his ticket, let's change places?"

The other two squad leaders said, "Okay, but which squad is covering behind?" ”

When everyone was embarrassed, a team leader said: "Draw lots, we will kill him three times, and take turns to cover." ”

"Okay, anyway, our reconnaissance mission has been completed, and the next thing is the raid mission."

The three of them began to plan.

But whether it was a night attack or a sneak attack during the day, different opinions.

"It's still easy to start during the day, but it's difficult to retreat at night."

"They don't dare to pursue at night, and our crossbow arrows are enough for them."

"No, the first time it has to be daytime, we have to kill a general, this is what makes it influential."

Everyone nodded, they could kill the general at night, but they couldn't confirm it.

It is easy to confirm during the day, whether people are dead or not, they can find out.

So, the three of them decided to choose to ambush a general on the mountain road.

Ambush a person, although there is the protection of the army, but it does not take too many people, just a few crossbow arrows can be done.

The three squad leaders were familiar with this area, and quickly discussed the location of an ambush.

"It's not difficult to attack the roadside ambush."

"The escape route must be re-optimized, concentrate the forces of a small squad and a half, and prepare to block it on it."

The three of them discussed for a while.

The three of them began to prepare.

I just don't know which hapless ghost will bump into them.

Three people are preparing.

They waited for hours, and after setting it up, they lurked patiently.

In front, more than a dozen people were in ambush, and behind them were answering personnel.

There are only more than 20 people in a team.

There are also Cao Jun who come and go.

But they all don't think it's a big fish, so they don't do it.

Wait until it's getting dark, and if it's dark, they give up.

"A soldier came to report that a team of about a thousand people had arrived."

"There's a general on horseback, and that's it."

The crowd began to prepare.

Sun Guan, one of the eight strong generals under Lu Bu's account.

They were ordered to come out on patrol because their food routes were a little unstable.

Zhang Ming can run to the rear to attack and kill their generals, and it is normal to attack their grain routes.

Sun Guan sat on the horse and began to be very vigilant, looking left and right.

From time to time, soldiers were asked to shoot arrows into the grass and bushes.

Along the way, nothing unusual was found.

Gradually, Sun Guan relaxed his vigilance.

Now, Sun Guan didn't work hard.

Originally, he was Lu Bu's descendant, and he was very popular.

But Lü Bu took refuge in Cao Cao, and Lü Bu's status was lowered, and the status of these generals was even worse than Cao Cao's own generals.

Therefore, Sun Guan has always been relatively negative.
