Chapter 321: Hero, Hero
Later, Cao Cao, Xun You, and Wen Han discussed for a while, and then went back to rest. On the coming day, Cao Cao and Wen Han prepared their respective soldiers and horses and prepared to go back to Chenliu.
At this time, the Tiger Prison Pass had been taken away by Chen Liujun for three days, and the pursuing soldiers in Liangzhou in the area of the Tiger Prison had not found any trace of Cao Cao for a long time, and they would definitely come to the Tiger Prison Pass to investigate. Although Cao Cao's soldiers and horses all wore Liangzhou military uniforms, there were tiger prison guards as a pretense. But for fear of accidents, the Tiger Prison Pass can no longer stay for a long time, so it is better to retreat as soon as possible.
Cao Cao left 1,000 soldiers and horses and the Tiger Prison guards to guard the Tiger Prison Pass to add time for their evacuation, and the rest of the men and horses retreated to Chenliu County.
"Meng De, if the 1,000 soldiers of this Tiger Prison are discovered by the pursuers in Liangzhou, they will definitely be wiped out."
Wen Han and Cao Cao galloped in front of the army with their horses, Wen Han frowned, and suddenly said to Cao Cao. Cao Cao's face sank slightly, and then he answered Wen Han's question indifferently.
"Sacrifice a small number of people to live for the many. Cao didn't think there was anything wrong. After returning home, Cao asked people to take more care of their bereaved families. β
Cao Cao's natural ease made Wen Han's heart suddenly sink, since he rescued Cao Cao in Luzhuang, he Cao Cao faintly began to change a little. Sometimes the feeling for him is extremely unfamiliar.
After the Luzhuang incident, Wen Han faintly knew that the owner of this Luzhuang was Lu Boxuan, who was killed by Cao Cao in history, and Wen Han intended to ask. But as soon as Cao Cao heard that Wen Han had the intention to ask about this, his face turned terribly dark, so Wen Han stopped asking. However, compared to history, Wen Han believed in his feelings after contact with Cao Cao, and he believed that Cao Cao would definitely not do anything to kill his relatives!
However, Wen Han is sure that the LΓΌ Zhuang incident has dealt a great blow to Cao Cao, and may even affect his views on many things in the future.
"Mengde, whether you are a hero or a hero. You will always be my best friend. β
Suddenly, Wen Han said this sentence to Cao Cao with a serious face, Cao Cao listened, just smiled faintly, cast a knowing look, and then accelerated the speed of the horse whip and galloped wildly.
And half a day after Cao Cao, Wen Han and others' soldiers and horses left, the Liangzhou chasing soldiers really came to the Tiger Prison Pass to ask the guards if they had seen Cao Cao recently. The guard had a ghost in his heart, and there were not many soldiers in the city, and there were many loopholes in his reply, which was recognized by the thoughtful Guo Yan on the spot.
"Open the gate of Guanzhong immediately, otherwise don't blame Guo for ignoring the feelings of his comrades and ordering a strong attack!!"
Guo Yan raised his sword and pointed at the Tiger Prison guard, but the Tiger Prison guard was silent, and suddenly waved his hand, closed the wall and suddenly shot down a fierce wave of arrows. Zhang Liao, who was beside Guo Yan, was afraid that Guo Yan would be hit by an arrow, so he hurriedly raised his gun to block it, and the snow silver spear danced a sharp and impermeable gun net, and he didn't know how many arrows were knocked down.
"Bastard thing!! You must have taken refuge in Cao Cao!! General Zhang didn't need to show mercy, and immediately led the army to attack! I want these traitors to die without a place to bury! β
Seeing that the guards of the Tiger Prison were overwhelmed and suddenly ordered to shoot, Guo Yan was furious on the spot, jumping like thunder, and roaring at the top of his throat. So the dense Liangzhou army, like an ant colony, rushed to the first dangerous pass in the world.
Although there were only 1,000 people guarding the Tiger Prison Pass, with its natural steepness, it was able to resist the tens of thousands of Liangzhou troops led by Guo Yan for three days. Sergeant Guan used up almost all the arrows in the pass, and was about to smash the pass with stones, but was broken through by the Liangzhou army. The few remaining soldiers were instantly drowned in the sea of people of the Liangzhou army, and all of them were hacked to death with random knives and cut into a piece of meat sauce.
The heroic sacrifice of thousands of soldiers in the Tiger Prison Pass won Cao Cao precious time to escape, and after Guo Yan broke through the Tiger Prison Pass, his subordinates were exhausted, and after they finished resting, Cao Cao had successfully entered the territory of Chen Liu.
A few days later, in Chen County, the city of Chenliu County, Xun Yu led Xiahou Yuan, Cao Hong and other soldiers to greet Cao Cao, who had escaped from death, at the city gate. Wen Han, on the other hand, was worried about the safety of his general Gao Shun, and wanted to leave Chenliu to approach the Yingchuan area to find their traces.
After hearing this, Cao Cao told Wen Han to rest assured, saying that he led the army all the way and rarely rested, so he rested for a while in this Chen County. He, Cao Mengde, would call someone to find Gao Shun's traces.
However, Wen Han did not hesitate to politely reject Cao Cao's kindness. Gao Shun is his subordinate, and Cao Cao's subordinate and his nervousness with Gao Shun must be the difference between the sky. So let them go to find it, Wen Han really couldn't rest assured, and how could the general who saved his own family pretend to borrow the hands of others.
Cao Cao also understood Wen Han's concerns, so he no longer stopped him, and even ordered Cao Ren to lead 3,000 Chen soldiers and horses to accompany Wen Han to find them.
And Gao Shun is cautious, leading the troops to pretend to be Liangzhou soldiers and horses into the enemy's territory, although the itinerary is slow, but the road is very secretive, although there are a large number of Liangzhou soldiers and horses around, but with the news that Cao Cao appeared in the area of the Tiger Prison Pass later, these Liangzhou soldiers and horses have been greatly reduced, Gao Shun until almost out of Yingchuan, was found to be clues. Gao Shun led his troops to flee to Xuchang, and after hearing the news of Cao Cao, he led his troops to occupy a thief's den on a hill near Xuchang, temporarily hidden, and sent people to investigate Chen Liu's every move.
It wasn't until later that Gao Shun heard that Cao Cao had successfully returned to Chenliu, and he was also worried about Wen Han's safety, so he led his army to Chenliu, and happened to meet the soldiers and horses that Wen Han was looking for. After Wen Han and Gao Shun met, they didn't say anything, just gave this unsmiling giant a big bear hug. Later, the two joined forces and went back to Chen County, intending to rest for a while, and after recuperating their strength, they went back to Hedong.
After Cao Cao returned to Chenliu, everyone in the world thought that it was rare for him to escape from death, and he would definitely be stable for a certain number of days before he made a move. Who knows, Cao Cao acted vigorously and resolutely, and made an earth-shattering event.
Cao Cao stayed in Chen, first issued an edict, and reported to all provinces, and the princes of various states and counties received the edict of Cao Cao to punish Dong. At the same time, Cao Cao recruited volunteers, erected countless white flags for recruitment, and wrote the word 'loyalty' on them, which were inserted in the counties of Chenliu.
Within a few days, the recruits gathered like rain. There are several fierce generals added to his command, a surname Le, a name enters, the word is humble, the face is majestic, a big gun is danced, good arrows, and there are 100 steps to penetrate Yang's ability.
There is another Shanyang Julu man, surnamed Li, the name dictionary, the word Mancheng, born with a strong force, but he often has a simple smile on his mouth, but his eyes are fine and transparent, and he knows that he is a simple character at a glance.
The Cao family can be described as the giants of the wealthy family in Chenliu, Cao Cao's righteous deeds won the support of his father, Cao Song personally came forward to travel among the wealthy families in Chenliu for Cao Cao, and the wealthy families of Chen Liu's family all strongly supported, scattered gold and silver, and funded Cao Cao. Cao Cao was able to make a huge amount of money and vigorously recruit the rebels, and Chen Liu's troops increased sharply for a while, reaching 30,000, and they were fully equipped and sophisticated.
Later, Cao Cao asked Wen Han to obtain the blueprints of the saddle stirrups, and wanted to form a cavalry army that was not inferior to the Black Wind Cavalry. Wen Han asked him about his name, and Cao Cao called it a tiger and leopard horseman.
Wen Han took a big breath on the spot, but he still did not hesitate to draw the drawings of the saddle stirrup to Cao Cao. Cao Cao took the drawings and glanced at Wen Han deeply, and after the two looked at each other for a while, Cao Cao smiled and asked Wen Han in his arms.
"Haha, if you draw this drawing to me, you won't be afraid of the future and bring great trouble to yourself?"
Wen Han also smiled, raised his eyebrows, shook his hand and said very casually.
"It should be regarded as repaying the kindness of Cao Mengde. The most disliked thing about me is that I owe people. And when I asked my second brother to borrow grain from you, you said that you wanted me to stabilize Hedong's measures, and I wrote them to you, but you are different from me, you don't need to turn your face with these wealthy people, you can use what is desirable, and you can abandon what is not desirable. β
"Haha, that's great. Then Cao Mou is welcome. β
Wen Han shook his head and smiled, then walked back to the table, took the pen and began to write. After Wen Han wrote it, Cao Cao quickly read it, and was very interested in Wen Han's method of 'rising and descending secretly', and the implementation of Tuntian, and asked Wen Han about this, Wen Han explained it to him in detail without reservation, and the two kept talking until late at night, and they were sleepy and forced their brains to disperse.
And Wen Han and others stayed in Chen County for a few days, the Black Wind Cavalry and Gao Shun's soldiers and horses were all full of spirit, this time to save Cao Cao, although there was a Liangzhou military uniform as a cover, and the Black Wind Cavalry was the most elite soldiers and horses under Wen Han's command, but still lost more than 200 people, as for Gao Shun's soldiers and horses, the losses were even more heavy, the original 3,000 people, only 1,500 people remained, and the loss was almost half.
Before Wen Han left, Cao Cao had already greeted Yuan Shao in advance, asking him to make it convenient, so that Wen Han's soldiers and horses could go back to Hedong via Hanoi to prepare for the next extermination of Dong.
After Yuan Shao received Cao Cao's edict, he had decided to join the Dong Eradication Alliance after discussing with his advisors Tian Feng and the trial, and Wen Han had already opposed Dong Zhuo and Cao Cao was close friends, so he would definitely join the Dong Eradication Alliance, which means that Wen Han would be his future ally of Yuan Benchu, and he Yuan Benchu was eyeing the position of the leader of the Dong Eradication Alliance. Although he didn't like Wen Han, he still nodded and agreed, and let Wen Han go back to Hedong via Hanoi.
And on Wen Han's way back to Hedong, the princes of all states and counties received Cao Cao's letters, and the princes from all over the country saw it, and they raised troops one after another, prepared their combat baggage and armaments, and prepared to rush to Chenliu.
At this time, in Luoyang Xiangguo Mansion.
The hair on Dong Zhuo's head stood up like a hedgehog full of spikes, his eyes were bulging and about to fall off, his huge body was trembling violently, and the exhalation from his mouth and his nose were as hot as molten slurry!
He held a piece of paper in his hand, and every word written on it made him angry.
