The battle was fought from day to night, Wei Zi and Bao Tao were killed, Bao Xin and Cao Cao were wounded, and the Kwantung coalition army was defeated.

Cao Hong protected Cao Cao on foot and fled at night, and went to the edge of the Bianshui, the water was too deep to cross, and the two fled along the water's edge, but fortunately, Cao Hong found a boat and escaped across the river with Cao Cao.

Xu Rong saw that the sky was dark, Mingjin withdrew his troops, although he won a big victory in this battle, but the loss of his men and horses was not small. Therefore, although Xu Rong was victorious, he thought that the battle was very difficult, and there were still more than 100,000 troops in Suozao County, which would inevitably not be easy to capture, so he also withdrew.

Cao Cao escaped from Bianshui under the escort of Cao Hong, and at dawn the next day, less than 1,000 people returned from crossing the river one after another, but fortunately, Cao Ren, Cao Chun, Xiahou Dun, and Xiahou Yuan were all safe and sound.

Soon, Bao Xin also returned safely, but Bao Xin's younger brother Bao Tao was killed in battle, and Weizi was also killed in battle.

Cao Cao and Bao Xin lost their love and couldn't help but cry.

When everyone was crying bitterly, a soldier and horse came in the distance, Cao Cao and others were shocked, and when they got closer, they saw that it was Liu Bei's banner, so they were relieved.

When he saw the crowd, Pegasus came.

When everyone looked at it, they saw that the future general was seven feet five inches long, with two ears hanging down his shoulders, his hands above his knees, his eyes could take care of his ears, his face was like a crown of jade, and his lips were like grease. It is Liu Bei, Liu Xuande.

is a good Liu Xuande, at this moment, his acting skills exploded, the actor's soul was possessed, he saw Cao Cao, rolled the saddle and fell off the horse, and when he saw Cao Cao, before he could say a word, tears of bean size had already flowed out of his eyes.

It is said that if you don't rub sand in your eyes, it feels really uncomfortable to rub sand in your eyes.

Liu Bei stretched out his hands, grabbed Cao Cao with one hand, and Bao Xin with the other, and cried, even sadder than Bao Xin, who died of his own brother, that was really sad for those who heard it, and tears for those who saw it.

When Cao Cao and Bao Xin saw each other, they both felt strange, Bao Xin had killed his own brother, and although several of Cao Cao's main relatives and generals were there, the soldiers he brought out were killed and wounded.

Even so, the two of them were not sad to the point of Liu Bei.

However, Liu Bei always cried for the two of them, and when the two saw Liu Bei's sadness, they also cried again.

The three of them hugged their heads and cried for a long time, and then gradually stopped their tears.

Seeing Liu Bei, Cao Cao was ashamed and said: "I regret not listening to the words of the prince, resulting in this great defeat, tens of thousands of horses and horses were lost because of me, and there is still face to live in the world." ”

Liu Bei just wept and said, "If I march with the second duke, I may not be defeated by the thief army." The defeat of the two princes is my fault. ”

Bao Xin also said: "We are stubborn and self-serving, and we don't listen to the good words of the prince and the marquis, so that there is such a big defeat, what does the prince have to do with it? ”

Only then did the three of them collect their grief and sort out their moods.

Seeing that the remnants of the two soldiers were defeated by less than 1,000 people, Liu Bei personally escorted the two to Zhongmu County. He also ordered someone to clean up a table of banquets, and the two of them were shocked.

The three of them raised their wine glasses and spilled the wine on the ground, and if they were three, they sacrificed the soldiers who died in battle, and then they drank the wine. After three glasses, Liu Bei put down his wine glass and asked, "Now that our army has lost, I am worried that Dong Thief will send troops to retaliate." I thought it would be better to return the sour dates for the time being, and then make plans. ”

Cao Cao asked, "Isn't it possible to hold on to Zhongmu now?" ”

Liu Bei said: "If the main force of our army is still there, it can naturally hold on, I can lead the army outside, and the two of them will stick to the city, and they will be horns against each other." Dong thief attacked me, the second monarch attacked him, Dong thief attacked the second monarch, I attacked him. At this time, I am the only one left, and it is not the best strategy to stick to Zhongmu. ”

Cao Cao was silent, if he hadn't insisted on sending troops, why wouldn't he have done this. I had to say: "In this case, I'll wait and return to the sour dates first, and then it's not too late to make plans." ”

Liu Bei said: "It should be like this. ”

So he called the Zhongmu County Order, and went to Henan Yin Yangyuan and the lord Bo Renjun. The coalition army was defeated by Dong Zhuo, and he was going to go back to the sour jujube first, and told the two.

When Yang Yuan heard this, he wanted to go with Liu Bei and others, but he was reluctant to act as Henan Yin, so he hesitated for a while.

Ren Jun was very happy, and said on the spot that he was willing to return to the sour dates with Liu Bei, and recruited hundreds of clans and guest soldiers. Liu Bei was overjoyed, and Ren Jun was the captain on the table.

I hope that Ren Jun will know that Yang Yuanfei is a person who can achieve great things, and he has long planned to vote for another master. When I saw Cao Cao, I thought I was a hero, and when I saw Liu Bei again, I felt that Liu Bei was also a hero in the world, not inferior to Cao Cao, so he hesitated. When he saw the two arguing about military affairs, he secretly decided in his heart that whoever had the right opinion this time would follow whomever he could.

Thinking that after he returned to the sour date, Dong Zhuo was only afraid that he would send someone to retaliate, Liu Bei couldn't bear it after all, and said to Yang Yuan and Ren Jun: "Our army is newly defeated, I am afraid that Dong thieves will come to retaliate, if there are people who are willing to retreat with our army, I am willing to escort the people back, but this matter is all voluntary, and I will not persecute it." ”

It's just that after all, it's hard to leave the homeland, and there aren't many people who are willing to leave their hometown with Liu Bei.

Cao Cao is really Cao Cao, and he really deserves to be Emperor Wu of Wei, who has two out of three parts of the world in history, although he was defeated, he did not show any sense of decadence, and he still dared to speak out. After returning to Suozao County, Cao Cao continued to encourage the princes to march. However, this time Cao Cao was a little more cautious.

It means that the coalition army of the sour jujube princes marched again, defended Chenggao, according to Aocang, Saiyuyuan, Taigu, and controlled its risk. Then unite with Yuan Shao's army in Hanoi to come to Mengjin, so as to form a two-way Dong Zhuojun to clamp down on Luoyang, and then Yuan Shu led the army into Wuguan, advanced to Sanfu, and directly took Chang'an, cutting off Dong Zhuojun's retreat.

It's just that when the sour jujube princes heard that Cao Cao and Bao Xin's 50,000 horses were all wiped out, all the princes were frightened and didn't dare to look west.

Cao Cao saw that everyone's spirit had been lost, and they refused to march again. So he angrily left Suozao County and returned to his hometown of Qian County.

Liu Bei went to see him off and asked, "Does Meng De have any plans in the future?" If not, it is better to join forces with me, and it is not too late to send troops after contacting Eryuan. ”

The so-called joint forces in one place is what Liu Bei means when he wants to incorporate Cao Cao. Now Cao Cao has a total of three big cats and two kittens. Cao Cao was co-opted by Liu Bei, thinking about this picture, it's cool not to want it.

Cao Cao said: "I want to go back to Qian County first, then recruit soldiers and horses, and then ask Dong, it's not too late." ”

Liu Bei wanted to incorporate Cao Cao, but it was also a whim, Cao Cao really wanted to take refuge in Liu Bei, and Liu Bei might not be at ease. So Liu Bei said: "Qing is really loyal and righteous." ”

In the Three Kingdoms era, if you want to say that you are unforgiving, Liu Bei is the first to be recommended, and Cao Cao can probably be ranked second. Liu Bei knew that Cao Cao was not a long-time inferior, so he praised it and said no more.

After returning to Qian County, Cao Cao consulted with his brothers, and Cao Hong said: "My family has a lot of wealth, and there are thousands of soldiers. ”

When Cao Cao heard this, he woke up and said with great joy: "Where is Qing rich in wealth, obviously he is very rich." It has been heard that the world's elite soldiers are out of Danyang. 'Zhou Taiming, the Taishou of Danyang County, was a protégé of his father when he was a captain, and he could also go to borrow soldiers. ”

Because Cao Hong had a good relationship with Chen Wen, the assassin of Yangzhou, Cao Cao decided to divide the troops into two ways, Cao Hong went to Yangzhou to recruit troops, and Cao Cao went to Zhou Xin, the Taishou of Danyang County, to recruit troops.

Yangzhou Thorn Shi Chen Wen, the character Yuanyi, a native of Runan, he knew Cao Hong very early, the two intersected with each other, and listened to Cao Hong's coming to recruit troops, and fully supported. Give Cao Cao 4,000 men.

Cao Hong's family is indeed very rich, which Cao Cao admits to all, and he took a thousand soldiers with him when he set off from Qian County. Cao Hong recruited another 2,000 well-equipped soldiers in Lujiang County, and then went to Danyang County to recruit soldiers and horses, and recruited several thousand more people.

Danyang Taishou Zhou Xin, the word Taiming, will be an auditor, he tried to study in Beijing when he was young, the teacher Chen Fan, well-read. It is said that this person can pinch and calculate, and is good at calculating disasters. Later, Zhou Xin was dismissed by Cao Song, who was a lieutenant at the time, Cao Cao's father was his master, he was Cao Song's protégé, so he fully supported the son of the old master, he had two younger brothers, one named Zhou Ang, one named Zhou Qiao, also followed Cao Cao, Zhou Yu brought two thousand people, and Cao Cao appointed him as a military advisor.

Cao Cao and Cao Hong met in Longkang County, Peiguo, Yuzhou, and the army recovered, just when Cao Cao thought he could make a comeback, he unexpectedly encountered a mutiny of soldiers on the way back. Unexpectedly, these Yangzhou soldiers didn't want to fight Dong Zhuo's Xiliang elite, so they launched a rebellion at night and set fire to Cao Cao's camp. Cao Cao and others hurriedly led troops to suppress it, but the military camp was in chaos and to no avail.

By daybreak, there were only about 500 soldiers left who had not fled.

In less than a year, Cao Cao almost hung up four times in a row, and after being arrested for the first time, he was released by Gong Cao of Zhongmu County. The second time he was seriously injured, and he was able to take an ox cart on the road after eight or nine injuries in the house of a pavilion chief. The third time he was wiped out by Xu Rong's entire army, if it weren't for Cao Hong's high consciousness, he knew that "there can be no flood in the world, and there can be no king." "It's been hanging up a long time ago. This time, he encountered a rebellion again, and he killed dozens of people before escaping from the barracks.

There is a saying that the king is immortal, and from this point of view, Cao Cao really has a bit of energy.

Chen Wen and Zhou Xin gave Cao Cao a total of 6,000 elite soldiers, and Cao Cao and Cao Hong recruited several thousand, almost 10,000 by themselves. Now everyone is rebellious, and Cao Cao has no shame to go to Yangzhou again. He simply went to nearby Gongxian County and Jianping County to recruit soldiers, and recruited more than 1,000 people.

Cao Cao's will is as firm as steel, although he is not discouraged even if he is hit.

From Jianping County to Chenliu County, Cao Cao specially sent people to Xiangyi County to worship Weizi's tomb.

At this time, the princes of the sour jujube coalition army, no one dared to fight Dong Zhuo again. Besides, it's not all the way to fight against Dong Lianjun, the old Yuan family is the main one, I didn't see that Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu's own uncles were killed by Dong Zhuo, and the whole family was wiped out, and there was no reason to always let us, outsiders, contribute.

From then on, every time Cao Cao passed by Chenliu, he would personally or send someone to pay tribute to Weizi.

Disappointed by the sour jujube coalition, Cao Cao crossed the Yellow River, arrived in Hanoi County, and defected to Yuan Shao.

However, this Cao Cao is simply possessed by a declining god, the reincarnation of the broom star, and soon after he arrived in Hanoi, he brought Yuan Shao a big defeat.
