"Xiahou Yuan is dead!"

Xiahou Yuan heard Ma Chao shouting, followed by a stabbing shot, he didn't have time to change the order, and hurriedly drew his knife to resist.

The enemies were very red when they saw each other, and in the Battle of Xiliang, Xiahou Yuan's bow and crossbow battalion caused Ma Chao's Xiliang cavalry to suffer heavy losses. Under normal circumstances, the shooting distance of the bow and crossbow far exceeds the projectile of the Xiliang cavalry, and with the formation of large shield soldiers to block, the Xiliang cavalry often falls to the ground before they have time to get close.

But tonight was different, the cavalry led by Ma Chao successfully deceived Xiahou Yuan and crossed the advantageous distance of the crossbowmen. By the time the cavalry short bow was thrown at a distance, the advantage of the crossbow battalion was gone. In addition, Xiahou Yuan not only did not form a formation to resist, but separated the troops from the left and right, wanting to make way for the cavalry. This led to the middle door of the lineup, and the 5,000 cavalry were like hungry wolves rushing into the flock, unceremoniously tearing everything around them apart.

After more than a dozen rounds of fighting, Xiahou Yuan gradually felt struggling, knowing that he was not Ma Chao's opponent, and suddenly retreated. But Ma Chao was so entangled with him, and it was difficult for him to escape for a while. In a hurry, Xiahou Yuan threw the knife in his hand at Ma Chao, and when Ma Chao raised his gun to block, he drew his bow and crossbow, and lightningly slammed the three arrows on the string. Xiahou Yuan's skills were all on the bow and crossbow, and at such a close distance, he didn't need to aim at all, and the three arrows shot out like lightning. Seeing the cold light coming at 3 o'clock, Ma Chao knew that it was powerful, he hurriedly leaned over to dodge two arrows, but the other arrow happened to hit the horse's head. The horse was suddenly hit hard, and under the pain, the front hooves were raised high, knocking Ma Chao to the ground, and after a while, he couldn't stand on the ground, and almost pressed on Ma Chao.

Xiahou Yuan was overjoyed when he saw this, he shouted to retreat, turned his horse and fled. He was about to escape from the cavalry, but he saw two horsemen slashed out of the stab, one man and one shot blocking his way. After a closer look, he still recognized these two people as Zhang San and Li Si who followed Zhao Yun to Cao Ying.

"Nobody, dare to stop me!" Xiahou Yuan snatched another big knife out of nowhere, and slashed it hard, which shocked Zhang San and Li Si and retreated again and again. Seeing this, Xiahou Yuan proudly pulled a knife flower. However, the smile on his face had not faded, and two more horsemen blocked his way.

"Xiahou Yuan, where to escape!" But it was Ma Dai and Ma Yunlu again. They are no better than Zhang San, Li Si and the like, although their marksmanship in their hands is not as good as that of their brother Ma Chao, they are also seven or eight points hot. With the two spears coming, Xiahou Yuan suddenly felt pressured, he secretly said that it was not good, surrounded by Xiliang cavalry, if the lord did not rescue again, he was afraid that he would die here today!

There was a battle outside the city of Hanzhong, and finally a soldier took advantage of the chaos to return to Cao Ying to report the news, and after a closer look, his face was covered with blood and his hair was scattered, and it was the previous cavalry general. When he rushed to the gate of the camp, he fell from his horse with a thud, and cried out with all his might:

"Zhang Lu surrendered by fraud, 30,000 soldiers fell into Hanzhong City, life and death are unknown, General Xiahou Yuan is in danger!"

"What?" Cao Cao didn't fall asleep after finishing his work, he recalled Jia Xu's words, and he was also quite worried in his heart, so he had been waiting for information from Hanzhong, but he didn't expect such bad news to come!

"Zhang Lu Xiao'er, you dare to bully me!" In a fit of rage, Cao Cao pulled out his Heavenly Sword and slashed the twin sisters mercilessly. The poor two girls had no idea of Zhang Lu's plan, and they became innocent victims in the war.

"The military master Jia Xu went to the big tent to discuss the matter, oh no, I will personally go over to talk to him!"

Cao Cao said, he didn't have time to get dressed, and hurriedly walked out of the tent with only a battle robe. When he came to Jia Xu's tent, he saw that the lights were bright inside, and Cao Cao didn't care about the etiquette, so he went straight in, but saw that there was no one inside, only under the light of the oil lamp on the table, a letter was particularly eye-catching. Cao Cao had an ominous premonition, he hurriedly rushed over, only to see 9 words written on the letter:

"Kill Zhao Yun, retire to Yangping, and return to Chang'an."

"What about Jia Junshi? Do you know where he is now? Cao Cao's heart was so confused that he didn't dare to imagine that Jia Xu was not in the tent at the moment, but the reason why he left a letter.

"Back to the lord, an hour ago, Jia Junshi said that he would ride out of the camp to relax, but the little one didn't dare to stop him, so he ......"

Hearing the soldier's words, Cao Cao was like being struck by lightning, and he slumped in his chair and muttered to himself.

"Jia Xu, Jia Xu, you have sought self-protection all your life, and even I am not your safest choice?"

"Lord, what should we do next?" Seeing that Cao Cao was stunned, the soldier asked cautiously.

The soldier's inquiry woke Cao Cao up, and he thought to himself, I have lost Jia Xu, how can I lose Xiahou Yuan again.

"Pass the order, tie up Zhao Yun, kill the sacrificial flag, and the 100,000 army will immediately attack Hanzhong and rescue Xiahou Yuan!"

"Report!"

"What's the matter?"

Before the soldier could answer, another person came from outside the tent to report. Cao Cao has a headache at the moment, and it is definitely not a good thing.

"Back to the lord, then Zhao Yun killed the guards who guarded him, seized the weapons and horses, and was about to kill out of the camp!"

Cao Cao was so angry that he slapped the table.

"Okay, you Zhao Yun, I'll see how you can escape from my Cao army camp. Immediately close the camp, and then send the generals above the commander to the big tent to discuss matters! ”

Now that Jia Xu has left, Xiahou Yuan's life and death are unknown, and there is no one around Cao Cao. As a last resort, he decided to immediately convene a meeting of middle- and lower-ranking officers.

With Cao Cao's summoning, more than ten generals quickly entered the big tent. The position of the generals is also very interesting, the more the generals who have followed Cao Cao for a longer time, the more advanced they are, and as for the generals who have just surrendered from Xiliang, of course, they are excluded from the rear.

Cao Cao didn't bother to pay attention to the cats between these generals, and just said with a serious face:

"Summoning you tonight, there are two important things, I hope you can share my worries!"

Hearing Cao Cao's words, they knew that the opportunity to express themselves had come.

"First, Zhao Yun committed murder in my camp, and those who take Zhao Yun's head will be enlisted as the general of Peking University, and a reward of 10,000 gold!"

"Lord, the last general is willing to go!"

"Lord, I will immediately offer Zhao Yun's head to you!"

"Lord, I'll come when I go!"

As soon as Cao Cao's words fell, an old general made a fuss, and even worse, he went directly out of the big tent and headed towards Zhao Yun. Seeing that the generals were so positive, Cao Cao was finally relieved in his heart.

"Okay, those who are willing to take Zhao Yun's head will go immediately, and the rest of the generals will stay and continue to discuss!"

"No!" Seven or eight people immediately left, and the originally crowded military tent became much emptyer in an instant. A few Xiliang generals were also eager to try, but when they saw that Pang De, who was the leader, they shook their heads and held back their steps.

"Second ,......"

Cao Cao also noticed the situation of the Xiliang generals, the so-called suspicious people do not need to be used, and the employment of people is not suspicious, since he has recruited the Xiliang generals, then they should be given a chance to perform. Especially the 50,000 Xiliang cavalry that was recruited, if there is no suitable Xiliang general to command, it will definitely not work.

"Pound!"

Hearing Cao Cao's shout, Pang De was shocked and immediately came out with his fists clenched.

"The last general!"

"Now you are the general of Zhengnan, command 50,000 Xiliang cavalry, immediately rescue Xiahou Yuan, and then stand by in place!"

"Thank you, my lord!"

Pang De didn't expect Cao Cao to suddenly reward himself, and also handed over 50,000 Xiliang cavalry to his own hands, he secretly swore that he would rescue Xiahou Yuan and not live up to Cao Cao's trust in him.

Looking at Pang De's resolute eyes, Cao Cao nodded with satisfaction. When he was in Xiliang, he secretly observed Pang De and felt that he was brave and good at leading troops. But Pound has never had a chance to play under Ma Chao. Now that he has handed him 50,000 Xiliang cavalry, it's time to see his true potential.

"Yan Xing, Cheng Gongying!"

"The last general!"

"The two of you will each be promoted to one level in official positions, and follow Pang De to rescue Xiahou Yuan."

"No!" Pang De, Yan Xing, and Cheng Gongying took the order and left.

"The rest of the generals will deploy the remaining 50,000 horses, prepare siege equipment, and immediately attack Hanzhong!"

"No!"

After the generals went out, Cao Cao pulled out the bloody Yitian Sword and slashed it on the table.

"Zhang Lu Xiao'er, I will kill him tonight!"
