Chen Wu's previous deployment was unchanged, and Gan Ning ordered Cao's soldiers to lead the way, and led a large group of Jinfan thieves to infiltrate the depths of Cao Zhai. Gan Ning set fire on the grain and grass, and Lu Meng saw the fire in Cao's army from afar, and also put fire in more than a dozen places to respond to Gan Ning.

Gongsun Yang, Liu Shao and other generals led the Jiangdong soldiers to set fire to the fire and shouted, and the drums shook loudly. Cao Cao led the defeated army to smoke and fled, and the front was dark and he couldn't see the road.

Cao Cao ordered the sergeant to find a way, and Zhang Liao pointed ahead and said, "There is only the ground in Wulin, which is open and easy to walk." ”

Cao Cao then ordered the generals to lead the defeated army to Wulin, and as he was walking, an army behind him rushed to kill, shouting: "Cao thief leave!" ”

In the firelight, the banner of Lü Meng appeared, Lü Meng led the army to rush over, Cao Cao urged the army and horses to resist forward, leaving Zhang Liao to break off, and resist the enemy Lü Meng. But when he saw the torches in front of him rise again, he rushed out of the valley and shouted: "Zhu Ran is here!" ”

Cao Cao was frightened, Dian Wei only led dozens of Cao soldiers to resist, and suddenly stabbed a Biao army in the slanted and shouted: "Prime Minister panic!" Xu Huang is here! ”

The two armies fought a scuffle, and Cao Cao took the road and looked north. Suddenly, he saw a team of military horses, stationed in front of the hillside, Xu Huang came out and asked, "Where are you waiting for the soldiers and horses?" ”

"Ma Yan, Zhang Kai." The two generals replied in unison, it turned out that Ma Yan and Zhang Kai led 3,000 Yuan Shao's old army horses to line up here, and this night they saw the sky full of fire, and they didn't dare to turn, just after Cao Cao.

Cao Cao taught them to lead a thousand military horses to open the way, and the rest of the men and horses kept their guards. However, it was said that Ma Yan and Zhang Kai would ride forward, less than ten miles, and a Biao army came out at the beginning of the shout, and he was the first general, shouting: "I am Ganning Ganxing Baye!" ”

Ma Yan hurriedly rode out of his horse to confront Gan Ning, Gan Ning urged Ma to raise his sword to meet him, only to be cut down by Gan Ning under the horse. Zhang Kai came to attack Gan Ning with a gun, Gan Ning shouted, Zhang Kai was caught off guard, and was cut down by Gan Ning.

The rest of Cao Bing dispersed in a hurry and went back to report to Cao Cao. Cao Cao was counting on Heqi to have troops to rescue him at this time, and he didn't want Han Hao to see the fire in the river at the intersection of Heqi Road, and knew that it was the Jiangdong army that won, so he would raise the fire as a number.

Cao Cao folded a lot of people and horses, only to look at the Yi Tomb and walk, on the way to meet Zhang He, Cao Cao ordered him to lead his troops to break off. Cao Cao and Dian Wei, Cheng Yu and others stepped up their horses, walked to the fifth watch, looked back and saw the fire getting farther away, Cao Cao breathed a sigh of relief, and asked, "Where is this?" ”

Cheng Yu said: "This is the west of Wulin and the north of Yidu. ”

Cao Cao saw that the surrounding trees were dense and the mountains and rivers were steep, so he immediately raised his head and laughed, "Ah, hahahahaha......"

The generals asked, "Why is the prime minister laughing?" ”

Cao Cao covered his stomach and said: "I don't laugh at others, I only laugh at Chen Wu's courage and strategy, Zhuge Liang is less wise." If I use my troops, I ambush an army here in advance, what can I do? ”

Before Cao Cao's words fell, the drums on both sides suddenly sounded, and the flames rose into the sky, so startled that Cao Cao almost fell off his horse. A Biao military horse came out of the thorn and shouted: "I am Changshan Zhao Zilongye!" On the orders of the general Zhuge Army, I have been waiting here for a long time! ”

Cao Cao taught Xu Huang and Zhang He to lead troops to the enemy Zhao Yun, and he and Dian Wei and others went away with smoke and fire. Zhao Yun did not chase after him, but only led his troops to rob Cao's ordnance, and Cao Cao was able to escape.

At this time, the sky has gradually become a little brighter, but the black clouds cover the ground, and the southeast fashion does not stop. Suddenly, heavy rain poured down, drenching Cao Jun's armor. Cao Cao and his sergeants marched in the rain, and all the troops were so hungry that their chests were pressed against their backs. Cao Cao ordered his soldiers to plunder food and scavenge for fire in the villages. Just as he was preparing to make rice, an army arrived behind. Cao Cao was very panicked, but it turned out that it was Cao Chun and Xu Chu who protected Guo Jia, Xun You and other strategists.

Cao Cao sighed and ordered the sergeant to bring the food, and Cao Cao first came to Guo Jia with gruel and asked Guo Jia to feed him. Cao Cao saw Guo Jia lying on the straw mat dying, his face was guilty and aggrieved: "The old man regrets not listening to the words of filial piety, and now he is defeated!" It's too late to regret! ”

Guo Jia waved his hand as much as he could and said, "Prime Minister, don't say this." Jia has arranged a way out, and the prime minister will be able to escape today. It's just that in the future, Jia can no longer accompany the prime minister to go down, and today is here, Jia has tried his best to ......"

"Bonghyo!" Cao Cao called Guo Jia's expression, but Guo Jia had slowly closed his eyes. He was originally jealous of talent, he was weak and sickly since he was a child, and he was about to die of illness when he was recruiting Wuhuan before. But because of Hua Tuo's rescue, a life was saved, and now the plague in Cao's army has already made Guo Jia terminally ill, and after this toss, he finally ran out of oil.

"Bong-hyo! Bong Hyo! Where is Hua Tuo? Where is Hua Tuo? Cao Cao was heartbroken, beating his chest and crying.

Cao Cao ordered someone to bury Guo Jia, but he was paralyzed on the ground, Cheng Yu and others hurriedly persuaded: "Lord, there are still chasing soldiers behind, don't stay for a long time." Please hurry! ”

Xu Chu and Dian Wei also urged Cao Cao to hurry up and get on the horse, and Cao Cao tearfully said goodbye to Guo Jia's grave. After traveling more than ten miles, Cao Cao asked, "Where is the ground in front?" ”

The pathfinder sergeant reported: "On one side is the South Yiling Road, and on the other side is the North Yiling Mountain Road. ”

Cao Cao asked the sergeant, "Where to go to Jiangling in Nanjun?" ”

The sergeant reported: "It is most convenient to take the North Yiling Tomb and go through the gourd mouth." ”

Cao Cao taught the soldiers to go to the North Yiling, and when they reached the mouth of the gourd, the soldiers were so hungry that they couldn't walk, and the horses were so tired that they lay on the ground, and many soldiers were so tired that they fainted on the road.

Cao Cao taught the people to rest in front of them, and immediately some of them brought gongs and pots, and some of them got grain and rice in the village, so they buried pots and cooked on the ground of the dry places on the side of the mountain, and killed horses for food.

And they all took off their soaked clothes and armor, and slumped in front of the fire, and basked in the wind. The horses were all saddled and scattered, allowing them to nibble on the grass roots themselves. Cao Cao was sitting under the sparse forest at this time, looking at the surrounding terrain, and couldn't help but laugh on his back again.

Cheng Yu asked: "The prime minister laughed at Chen Wu and Zhuge Liang, led out Zhao Zilong, and broke many horses." Why are you laughing now? ”

Cao Cao laughed wildly for a while, and then said: "I laugh at Zhuge Liang and Chen Wu after all, they are not resourceful enough. If I use troops, I will also ambush a group of military horses here, so as to wait for work; Even if we were to lose our lives, we would not be seriously injured. He didn't see this, and I laughed at it. ”

Everyone looked like "you have a point" and nodded their heads again and again. Cao Cao was proud when he suddenly heard the front army and the rear army shouting together. Cao Cao was shocked, abandoned his armor and got on the horse, and many of the troops did not have time to collect the horses.

I saw that the fire and smoke were all around, and a military horse in the mountain pass was swinging out, and the leader was extremely majestic, raising his axe immediately, and shouted: "I am the general Pan Feng, Cao thief go there!" ”

When the generals of the army saw Pan Feng, they all felt frightened. Xu Chu rode a war horse that didn't have time to put on the saddle to fight Pan Feng, Zhang Liao and Xu Huang, and the two generals also came to attack. The soldiers and horses on both sides fought in a melee, Cao Cao first pulled his horse away, and the generals got out of their own way.

Pan Feng came from behind, Cao Cao rode his horse and fled under the escort of Dian Wei, and the pursuers were gradually thrown away. Cao Cao looked back at the generals, most of them were wounded.

As he was walking, the sergeant reported, "There are two roads ahead, may I ask the prime minister from which road?" ”

Cao Cao asked, "Is that road close?" ”

The sergeant said, "The road is a little flat, but it is more than fifty miles away; The small road is cast into Huarong Road, but it is nearly more than 50 miles. It's just that the ground is narrow and the road is dangerous, and the potholes are difficult to walk. ”

Cao Cao asked people to go up the mountain to watch, and after a while, someone came to report: "There are several places on the side of the mountain on the path; There was no movement on the main road. ”

Cao Cao taught the former army to take the Huarong Road path, and Zhang Liao asked: "Where the beacon smoke starts, there must be military horses, why do you take this road instead?" ”

Cao Cao smiled and said to Zhang Liao: "Don't you hear that there is a cloud in the military book: 'Fiction is real, and reality is fiction.'" Zhuge Liang was resourceful, so he made people burn smoke in a remote place in the mountain, so that our army did not dare to go from this mountain road, but he ambushed his troops on the road and waited. I have already decided, but I don't want to teach him! ”

All the generals praised: "The prime minister is clever, and no one can reach it." ”

Cao Cao then reined in his troops and walked on Huarong Road, at this time everyone fell to the ground hungry and the horses were tired. Those who were burned by the fire walked slowly, and those who were shot by arrows reluctantly walked. The sergeants were soaked in armor and their limbs were incomplete.

Cao Jun's weapons and flags are messy. Most of them were driven panicked on the Yiling Road, and they only rode on the back of a smooth horse, and the saddle bridle and clothes were all discarded on the road. It is the bitter cold of midwinter, how can the bitterness be exhausted.
