The soldiers of the Cao army hurriedly rescued Zhao Yun from the battlefield, only to see that Zhao Yun's face was as pale as paper, his anger was like a gossamer, and blood continued to spill out of his chest, obviously he was extremely seriously injured, and life and death were only between a line of life.

"Medic! Where is the medic!? Seeing this, Cao Cao couldn't help but feel anxious, and regretted very much why he agreed to Guan Yu's request in the first place. Zhao Yun is both wise and brave, and has a calm personality, he is a rare good general, if he unfortunately dies here, it may become Cao Cao's lifelong hatred.

Seeing Zhao Yun's appearance when he was carried into the military tent, all the generals of the Cao Army had an anxious expression on their faces. Zhao Yun is easy-going, although he doesn't have a particularly close relationship with anyone, but he has a good relationship with most people.

"If Zilong has any misfortune, I will definitely break that Guan Yu into ten thousand pieces to relieve the hatred in my heart!" Xiahoudun gritted his teeth.

"With Zilong's blow, I'm afraid that Guan Yu may not be able to survive." Xiahou Yuan cursed Guan Yu on the side, and his face was quite angry.

"If Zilong is not cured, even if Guan Yu dies, I will crush his corpse and scatter ashes!" Xiahoudun said in a firm tone.

Zhao Yun survived in the end, but his condition was very miserable. Regarding Zhao Yun's injury, the doctor took special care that he could not use force for half a year, otherwise he might lose his martial arts and become a wasted person if he did not recuperate well. Cao Cao naturally did not dare to slack off on this medical advice, and hurriedly ordered one of his military marquis to lead two hundred soldiers and horses to escort Zhao Yun back to Xudu, and ordered the best nurse to take care of Zhao Yun's injuries.

When Cao Cao repelled Lu Bu and returned to Dongjun, he was quite puzzled when he saw the profession of nurse at first, bringing so many women to the army, and taking care of the wounded soldiers in the name of taking care of the wounded, what does this Gao Shun mean? However, as time passed, Cao Cao also witnessed that nurses did play a very significant role in the recovery of wounded soldiers in the army, and Gao Shun's pleading, so Cao Cao allowed the existence of this profession. But until now, when Zhao Yun, a major general, was saved because of the care of the nurses, Cao Cao felt that not abolishing the nurse camp was really one of the most correct decisions he had made in his life.

Zhao Yun was miserable, and the situation on Guan Yu's side was naturally not much better. Although Guan Yu himself was lucky to save his life in the end, he is still unconscious. The defenders of Pengcheng are not as good as the Cao army, and the good generals in the Cao army are like clouds, even if there is one less Zhao Yun, it will not have much negative impact, but once the defenders of Pengcheng lose the command of Guan Yu, they will immediately fall into a semi-paralyzed state. Although Chen Zhi's ability is good enough, he still lacks some experience and qualifications to let him command the 10,000 defenders in Pengcheng. What's more, Guan Yu's serious injury was witnessed by everyone, and it was impossible to hide it at all. This fact made the entire Pengcheng garrison lose all their fighting spirit, and there was no trace of fighting spirit to speak of. No matter how outstanding Chen Zhi's military talent is, it is difficult for the so-called Qiao woman to cook without rice, and in this case, he is simply unable to mobilize the morale of the defenders.

Rather than sit back and watch these 10,000 defenders be slaughtered or absorbed by Cao's army when the city is broken, it is better to retain strength and lead the army to retreat to Xiapi to join Liu Bei, in order to make the last move - this is Chen Zhi's current thoughts.

In the end, Chen Zhi left 2,000 palace troops in Pengcheng and fled to Xiapi with Guan Yu and the remaining 8,000 men.

The temple army, as the name suggests, is the army that is responsible for the rear of the temple in order to protect the successful retreat of the main force. For these two thousand people, their purpose was to do their best to hold back Cao's army and buy time for Chen Zhi's retreat. It can be said that these two thousand people are Chen Zhi's outcasts, and they will exchange their lives for the survival of another eight thousand.

In siege warfare, the besieging side will always be at a disadvantage. Although there were only 2,000 defenders in the city, and although the Cao army had a large number of sophisticated siege equipment, it still took Cao the army two full hours and more than 1,800 deaths to conquer the ancient city.

After capturing Pengcheng, Cao Cao was not in a hurry to pursue the 8,000 people who arrived at Chen, not to mention that he might not be able to catch up now. Cao Cao ordered the whole army to rest for the night, and tomorrow he waved his army to attack Xiapi.

"Second brother!" Seeing Guan Yu who was unconscious, Liu Bei mourned in his heart, and sorrow came from it, and he shouted loudly.

"What bastard is it that dares to hurt my second brother like this? I'm going to twist his head off! Zhang Fei's temperament is the most violent, but as soon as he saw Guan Yu's miserable appearance, he immediately fell into a rage. I saw Zhang Fei's eyes wide, and there was almost fire in his eyes.

"Yide!" Liu Bei drank Zhang Fei, although he was sad, but at this time Liu Bei had not lost his mind, "Cao Cao has an army of 50,000, no matter how brave you are, what use can you use?" ”

"The second brother was injured like this, can it be counted like this?" Zhang Fei was extremely unwilling and muttered loudly.

"Yun Chang's revenge, naturally I want to revenge! It's just that the most important thing now is to try to repel Cao's army. Cao Jun does not retreat, everything is just nonsense after all! Liu Bei was afraid that Zhang Fei would do something stupid under his anger, so he tried his best to persuade him at the moment.

However, although it is simple to repel Cao's army, the soldiers and horses that can be mobilized in the entire Xuzhou at this time are less than half of Cao Cao's army, and it is so difficult to really drive them out of Xuzhou!

Thinking of this, Liu Bei's originally sad face showed a trace of bitterness.

"Lord, don't you forget, there is still a tiger in Xuzhou, maybe he can resist Cao Cao for a while." Seeing that Liu Bei was distressed, his advisor Jian Yong thought about it and stepped forward to speak.

"Xianhe is saying...... Lu Bu? When Liu Bei heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Hmph, what's so great about Lu Bu? The three family slaves are not the generals of the defeated army under Cao Cao, and the dogs who lost their families! "Maybe it's because of the natural discordant relationship, Zhang Fei just looks at Lu Bu unhappy. Whenever he heard someone talk about Lu Bu, Zhang Fei had to belittle him.

"Lu Bu?" Although Liu Bei didn't look at Lu Bu so unpleasantly, he also had his own doubts at the moment, "Lu Bu's tiger and wolf nature is capricious, I'm afraid it can't be trusted." Moreover, Lu Bu was indeed defeated by Cao Cao, and he may not be able to stop Cao Cao. ”

"Now the general trend is not in my favor, and I can only let Lu Bu make a move. No matter how bad it is, it can consume some of Cao Cao's soldiers and horses, right? In the face of Liu Bei's questioning, Jian Yong replied after a little thought, "As for Lu Bu's personality, although it is repetitive, there is a deep enmity between him and Cao Cao, and it is impossible to surrender it easily. And now that Lu Butun is in Xiaopei, the relationship with the lord can be described as cold, and if he is ordered to fight, he will definitely do his best to deal with it. ”

"In that case, then send an envoy to Lu Bu and ask him to fight." Liu Bei was by no means a hesitant person, and made a decision on the spot.
