274. Retreat to Fancheng

Li Dian then led his troops to catch up, but still could not stop Zhao Yun's breakthrough, Zhang Xiu and Hu Che'er rode a horse and followed Zhao Yun out of the city. Today, Zhao Yun is mainly to save people, but even so, basically no one can catch his shot along the way, and countless Cao Jun along the way all died tragically under Zhao Yun's snatch. Behind Zhao Yun, Zhang Xiu secretly exclaimed: "He is also the master's apprentice, and his kung fu is not half a star worse than this Zhao junior brother!" I also have the title of Northland Gun King! Compared to me, Senior Brother Zhao is the real Northland Gun King! ”

Just after Zhao Yun escorted Zhang Xiu out of Wancheng, Cao Cao's brigade finally drove to Wancheng. Hearing that Zhang Xiu was left by Zhao Yun and Xu Huang was seriously injured by Zhao Yun, Cao Cao's face was unusually gloomy! What was supposed to be a good mood suddenly turned bad. But fortunately, there is not much time and good news came, and the two brothers Xia Houen and Xia Hou Ba were found in the prison in the city, and the two did not suffer any grievances, but after this incident, the two must be able to grow a lot!

The remnants of Liu Qi and Zhang Ji merged together and retreated to the direction of Jingzhou, although they failed to keep Wancheng, but Cao Cao also suffered heavy losses in this battle. The two generals, Xiahoudun and Xu Huang, were seriously injured by Zhao Yun one after another! In addition, in order to attack Wancheng, a lot of soldiers were lost, and the plan to attack Jingzhou had to be put on hold. Liu Qi has not suffered much loss since he sent out the army, on the contrary, he has captured a lot of horses in the previous battle! It's a little rewarding!

Everyone retreated to Fancheng and didn't mention it for the time being, and then talked about Cao Cao in Wancheng. Finally captured Wancheng, but this city has also been made unrecognizable, and it is not an overnight thing to rebuild, and the plan to come to the south has to be suspended at this time. Cao Cao called Guo Jia to the lobby, Guo Jia didn't sleep all night last night, and he was still sleepy, yawning constantly. Cao Cao looked at it and said apologetically: "Fengxiao, if you go to sleep for a while, it's not a matter of urgency!" Guo Jia shook his head and said, "My lord doesn't have to worry about me, I'll just take a break after lunch in a while!" Let's get down to business at this point! ”

Cao Cao nodded and said, "Although the troops are said to occupy Wancheng this time, they have also lost their troops. I intend to stop the army here, what does Feng Xiao think? ”

After hearing this, Guo Jia pondered for a while and said: "Since the lord has made a decision, then it will be done according to the lord's will!" That Liu Biao is just a dog guarding the city, so don't worry! Cao Cao smiled after hearing this: "Feng Xiao's words are very much in line with my wishes!" That Liu Biaowu doesn't care, but Liu Bei can't be guarded against! If he hadn't intervened this time, there would have been no such heavy losses! ”

"My lord, you can order a strict investigation of the caravan going to Qingxu through us, then Han Fei and they will have to pretend to be caravan guards if they want to go back! If you can find them, you can send troops to capture them, and if you can succeed, you can cut off one of Liu Bei's arms! Guo Jia opened his mouth and said to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao's eyes narrowed after hearing this: "What Feng Xiao said is good!" I hereby order that the caravans that come and go will be strictly inspected, and whoever finds them will not be relentless if they are captured on the spot! By the way, Fengxiao, who do you think can guard Wancheng? ”

As Cao Cao's territory continued to expand, so did the talent under him. This is also one of the reasons why Cao Cao boldly used young generals this time, in fact, according to Cao Cao's meaning, Cao Ren is the most suitable candidate, but Cao Ren can't leave Chang'an lightly now, so this Wancheng still needs a general to guard here. "Lord, I think General Li Dian can take on this responsibility!" Guo Jia suggested.

Cao Cao nodded when he heard this: "Man Cheng is good, but he is a little lonely, and he needs someone to assist." Would it be good to let Ba'er stay? Cao Cao is talking about Xiahou Ba, and at this moment Cao Cao has finally made up his mind to increase the training of young generals. Guo Jia nodded in agreement after hearing this, so Cao Cao ordered Li Dian to guard Wancheng, and Xiahou Ba to guard the city. Twenty thousand men were left for them to defend the city. And he himself will return to Xuchang City with a large army in three days!

Cao Cao's decision, Han Fei and the others did not know, after the army returned to Fancheng, Liu Qi ordered a fast horse to send a letter to Liu Biao, telling the current situation. Then, Liu Qi summoned Han Fei to ask him for advice in case Cao Cao's army attacked. Han Fei smiled and said to Liu Qi: "Cao Cao's loss this time is not small, at this moment, I am afraid that he will not attack Jingzhou again at all!" However, if you don't come this time, it doesn't mean that you won't come in the future, so the eldest prince must strengthen his defense against Cao Jun from this time on! Liu Qi nodded after hearing this, and then asked Han Fei what arrangements he had after that, Han Fei knew that he actually wanted to ask Zhang Ji's uncle and nephew and the remnants of their troops where they were going. Han Fei didn't have a clue about this question at the moment, and he had to discuss it with Jia Xu again.

Hu Che'er's timely treatment finally saved his life, and Zhang Xiu finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the news. Although this Hu Che'er is from the Hu people, he is loyal to himself and his uncle Zhang Jina, although he is missing an arm at the moment, but Zhang Xiu does not intend to abandon him, he still wants to take Hu Che'er with him, no matter where he will go in the future!

After arriving in Fancheng, everyone first rested, and Zhao Yun and Zhang Xiu chatted a lot in private. talked about the master from marksmanship, and then talked about the senior brother who had never met, and then the two of them picked it up and grabbed it for a discussion. Zhang Xiu knew that he was much more powerful than himself when he saw Zhao Yun shoot before, but when he really handed it over, he knew that he was even more powerful than he thought! It is also a hundred birds and a phoenix spear, and it can already be used by Zhao Yun on a par with his master! After sighing, Zhang Xiu secretly made up his mind that he must work hard again and strive not to be left behind by Zhao Yun in marksmanship!

Han Fei and Jia Xu also discussed for a long time, and after evacuating from Wancheng, they finally knew how Cao Cao attacked the city, but they didn't expect that Captain Jin would still be so useful! It really opened Han Fei's eyes, and at the same time deeply admired the wisdom of the ancients. After some discussion, the two decided that it would be better to return to Qingzhou with Zhang Ji's uncle and nephew, but it was impossible for all the soldiers under their command to be taken away, so everything else except for the personal guards was cheaper than Liu Qi.

Liu Qi was very happy when he heard this, he had been thinking about those cavalrymen for a long time. Han Fei told Liu Qi about their plan, and at the same time suggested that he must divide his troops and send a general to Xinye to defend it! In this way, Xinye and Fancheng can be horns of each other, and the defense line will be more stable! Liu Qi expressed his approval, so he sent Wei Yan to lead the troops to guard Xinye County!

The second watch, ask for a monthly pass, ask for a recommendation, ask for a reward, and ask for a collection. Friends, use the tickets in your hands to smash me to death!
