In the military tent, Cao Cao sat still, Xu Chu had been facing Zhao Yun for more than an hour, at this time the sky was bright, the morning sun was gradually revealed, and all the generals in the tent were all urgent, and they had already lost their previous determined expressions.

Several scouts came to report the battle, all of which were stalemate between the two armies, Zhao Yun and Xu Chu fought for hundreds of rounds without winning or losing, and the cavalry of the two armies was the elite of the army, and the number was not far apart, and it was also between the two armies.

Cao Cao took a few steps and said angrily: "What is Xiahoudun doing, why don't you attack and kill Zhao Yun behind him, such a good opportunity, Zhao Yun can be annihilated in front and back, so that the fighter will be punished by military law!" ”

Xun Yu said: "Maybe General Xiahou was pinned down by the enemy, Lu Bu's 100,000 army, and Zhao Yun was not only a vanguard, if General Xiahou was attacked again, it would be difficult to get out for a while." ”

Cao Cao finally suppressed his anger and said: "At present, Zhao Yun's henchmen are in trouble for a while, if they can't be eliminated as soon as possible, when Lu Bu's army arrives, under the internal and external attacks, Xiahoudun is afraid that a catastrophe is coming, and now he can only take risks, with all my troops, help Xu Chu to exterminate Zhao Yun's department, in order to solve the urgent needs of our army." ”

Xun You hurriedly persuaded: "Ming Gong can't, General Xiahou set up an ambush in a swamp and is already invincible, Zhao Yun is just a turtle in the urn, there is no reinforcement in front of him, and it is a matter of time before he is defeated. Now that Lu Bu's main force has not appeared, I don't know if there are still suspicious soldiers on the side, Ming Gong must not use all his strength too early, if he is taken advantage of by Lu Bu, he will fall into a situation from which he will never recover. ”

Cao Cao sighed: "But Xu Chu can't fight for a long time, I'm afraid something will happen." ”

Xun You said: "Ming Gong rest assured, General Huben is powerful enough to resist Zhao Yun, and at present, the only way to wait and see the changes is to wait and see the changes without moving, and to respond to all changes without moving." ”

Cao Cao was about to express his position, but when he heard that the scout went to the camp tent to report again: "General Qiyu, General Hu Ben cut off Zhao Yunying's helmet and gained the upper hand, and our cavalry took advantage of the situation to cover and kill, and Zhao Yun's morale was greatly damaged, and the flank was broken by our army, and there were less than 3,000 people. ”

The sound of applause erupted, and Cao Cao also let out a sigh of relief and said, "Explore again!" ”

The scout walked quickly, and Cao Cao said in a harmonious voice: "It's still Gongda who can see it thoroughly, but I'm anxious." ”

Xun You said with a smile: "Ming Gong cares about the safety of General Huben, which is a benevolent and righteous act, and we all sincerely admire it." ”

Before the words fell, everyone was amazed when they suddenly heard the sound of the news from the fast horse, the scout had just left the military tent, why did there be a military report so quickly, could it be that there was another major change on the front line?

At the next time, one person rushed into the military tent, but it was not the army scout, but the partial general Xiahou Jie who was guarding the rear with Cheng Yu and others, I saw that his face was full of anxiety, and as soon as he entered the military tent, he hurriedly said: "The general is not good." ”

As he spoke, he choked up several times due to eagerness, and he couldn't speak intermittently.

Xun Yu personally handed him a glass of water, and comforted him in a harmonious voice: "The general will drink saliva first and speak slowly." ”

Xiahou Jie gulped down a glass of water and drank it all, and finally made up his mind, and then said: "The general is not good, Jizhou Gaoshun raided Dongping County, my East County, with more than 100,000 troops, the soldiers are strong, my uncle can not be the enemy, he has retreated to Dong'e, and Cheng Yu's army division formed a defensive line, and Gao Shun is confronting, the military division asked me to come quickly to ask the general for help, Dong'e has few soldiers, I am afraid that I can't fight for a long time, and please send reinforcements to the general quickly, otherwise the entire East County may fall into the enemy's hands." ”

Everyone gasped, Gao Shun originally stood still, thinking that he was blocked by the Yellow River and could not go south for a while, at this time the army was the time of life and death, but Gao Shun was going south at this time, not necessarily without Lu Bu's overall command.

Cao Cao was already overstretched in terms of troops against Lu Bu at this time, and Gao Shun's 100,000 Jizhou soldiers suddenly came, and Gao Shun has always been good at fighting, and the trap camp led by him is even more prestigious, and only the 20,000 troops who stayed in Dongjun categorically could not stop Gao Shun's offensive, and the current situation can be described as a critical situation. But Cao Cao's army is at this time and has no time to take care of itself, where can it still divide its forces to rush to the aid of Dongjun, if it rashly returns to the army to help, not to mention that Xiahoudun and others will be alone in the enemy's encirclement, even Cao Cao's army will also face the danger of being flanked by Lu Bu and Gao Shun before and after, and besieged heavily.

But now the situation is imminent, there is no room for Cao Cao to weigh more, Dongjun is his base camp, everyone's wives and children are in Dongjun, once Dongjun is broken by Gao Shun, Cao Cao will be surrounded by Lu Bu's army before and after, even if Cao Cao still has Qingzhou and Yangzhou as a strategic depth, but under the siege, the mountains are high and the road is far away, how to break through the siege.

The current situation does not allow Cao Cao to plan carefully, he has been on the verge of life and death for many years, but at this time he calmed down, and said in a deep voice: "Now the only way to protect the commander is to give up the car and order Xiahoudun to block Lu Bu's army from advancing eastward in Juyeze, and the rest of the generals will immediately send troops to the east with me, and it is important to relieve Gao Shun's henchman first." ”

Xun Yu hurriedly said: "General Huben is still at war with Zhao Yun, and Duke Ming still needs to send troops to meet him and withdraw his troops." ”

Cao Cao said categorically: "Xu Chu has been born and died for me for many years, and I must not let it down, Cao Ren obeys his orders." ”

Cao Ren strode out and said loudly: "Subordinates obey orders." ”

Cao Cao ordered: "I order you to order me to guard 10,000 people, and immediately go to meet Xu Chu to retreat, if you can kill Zhao Yun, it is the best, if you can't fight for a long time, remember not to fall in love with the war, and quickly retreat with Xu Chu to Jiyin." ”

Cao Ren received the order and left, and Cao Cao ordered: "The rest of the generals will immediately leave the camp and set off, and quickly go to Jiyin with me to help Dong'a." Now that Dongping has been lost, Gao Shun has cut off the back road of our army's retreat to Qingzhou, if he captures Dong'e and Jiyin in one go, then we will die without a place to be buried. ”

When all the generals heard this, they all looked solemn, knowing that it was time for life and death to exist, so they did not dare to delay, and they all went out to mobilize the army to return to the east.

Cao Cao's army had just assembled, and suddenly the sound of killing and shouting suddenly sounded, and countless armies were brightly armored, taking advantage of the glory of the morning glow, swarming from all directions, one of them was as silent as water, and shouted coldly: "Cao Cao is leaving, Zhang Liao has been waiting for a long time." ”

It turned out that when Zhao Yun was in a hurry to pursue Cao Cao, Zhang Liao was not idle, he didn't want to give up the credit for breaking Cao Cao's army, although he was calm in front of Lu Bu, he didn't seem to be in a hurry to pursue Cao Cao, but after he returned to the camp, he urgently ordered the mobilization of the army, since he had broken Cao Cao's main force, how could he let him escape.

Zhang Liao had already made up his mind that when Zhao Yun was charging Cao Cao to defend head-on, he led only 5,000 cavalry to bypass the treacherous terrain of Juyeze, pass through Chengyang and Duguan, and go directly to Liyang, where Cao Cao's army was stationed.

Speaking of which, it is also thanks to Zhao Yun's frontal charge, which led Cao Cao to set up an ambush along Juyeze and lead the main force of Cao's army to Zhao Yun, so that Zhang Liao was able to make a detour from the flank and rush behind Cao's army with lightning speed, just blocking Cao Cao, who was about to retreat.

Cao Cao and Zhang Liao attacked and defended several times in the Dingtao area, of course, they knew that this person was really a rare good general, and at this time, when they saw him charging with soldiers and horses, they couldn't help but sigh in their hearts: "My life is over." ”

Cao Cao originally set himself to have 60,000 or 70,000 troops when Tao was defeated and retreated, but he gave Xiahoudun 20,000 elite soldiers in order to fortify along the way, and later Zhao Yun broke through Xiahoudun to intercept, Cao Cao had to order Xu Chu to lead 10,000 troops to resist the enemy, Xu Chu fought Zhao Yun for a long time, in order to meet his retreat in time, he had to order Cao Ren to lead 10,000 personal guards to receive Xu Chu. At this time, there were no more than 20,000 soldiers available to Cao Cao.

At this time, Zhang Liao attacked, the soldiers and horses did not know the geometry, only to see the fire rushing to the sky, embracing the glow of the sky, only the enemy soldiers and horses all over the mountains and fields were killed like a tide, the Cao army was suddenly attacked, panicked, where is there still the heart of the war, coupled with the ferocity of Zhang Liao's cavalry, the Cao army battle array disintegrated for a while, and the impact scattered and fled.

Cao Cao was supported by a group of generals, and fled in a panic, but Zhang Liao could not let him escape, and no longer care about the soldiers of Cao's army who fell into the rout, he ordered Cao Cao to chase Cao Cao left and right.

Cao's army was defeated all the way, but it was never able to get rid of Zhang Liao's pursuit, seeing that the soldiers would be injured by the pursuing arrows countless times, the available soldiers around him gradually decreased, only more than 1,000 people remained, at this time fled to the north bank of Wenshui, the army could no longer move forward, but behind Zhang Liao still chased after himself.

Cao Cao sighed at the river, and said: "That's it, I can't imagine that I Cao Cao is a hero, and I ended up in the wilderness, I have a life and death feud with Lu Bu, if it falls into his hands, I can imagine how much humiliation there will be, and I will never die well, and I will follow me for many years, I can't bear to see you suffer humiliation with me, so this will be dispersed." ”

Xun Yu said with tears in his eyes: "Ming Gong treats me like a brother and sister, and the grace of knowing is repaid by life and death, how can I give up Ming Gong to escape alone, since the catastrophe is coming, I am willing to live and die with Ming Gong." ”

Cao Hong, Xiahou Jie and other generals who were guarding on the side all said generously: "We are also willing to live and die with the general." ”

Cao Cao said in despair: "I will never be captured by Zhang Liao and insulted by Lu Bu, it is better to judge myself on the bank of this Wenshui, and avoid becoming a laughing stock for future generations." ”

As he spoke, he drew the long sword at his waist and was about to cut himself.

Cao Hong hurriedly grabbed the long sword in Cao Cao's hand, regardless of the blood staining the red sword body, and cried sadly: "Why should my brother be so pessimistic, I have followed my brother for many years to be born and died, and now it is not yet the time when the mountains and rivers are exhausted, I will go to meet Zhang Liao, if I can't win, it is not too late for my brother to make a decision." ”

As he spoke, he turned over and got on his horse, and with a long knife, he was about to go out to face Zhang Liao.

Xun You said in a deep voice on the side: "General, slow." ”

Cao Hong raised the war horse, the war horse was about to gallop out, but Cao Hong stopped castration, and for a while people stood up, Cao Hong said angrily: "What else does the military advisor have to say, Zhang Liao is about to catch up, if you hesitate, we will all be buried here." ”

Xun Yu ignored Cao Hong and said to Cao Cao: "We still have a card, Ming Gong still remembers that there is Lu Bu himself in our army, so there is no need to wait for a long time at this time?" ”

Cao Cao's eyes lit up, he was defeated several times and fled, and he forgot about this little beggar, although the little beggar's life experience has not yet been confirmed, but Zhang Liao, as a minister, has always been loyal and cautious, how can he not care about the safety of Lu Bu's parents, if he can use this as a basis, the general trend may not have room for maneuver.
