On the battlefield on the west bank of Bianshui, after the brothers Bao Xin and Bao Tao were defeated, only Cao Cao's large army that retreated to the southeast was left on the battlefield, and the rest were thousands of stragglers, routs, or dozens of people formed small groups, but they could not resist the impact of Xu Rong's iron cavalry at all. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Xu Rong divided his two thousand iron cavalry into one hundred men and swept away the rout, and on the other hand, he led two thousand iron cavalry straight to the southeast, and Cao Cao retreated.

The cavalry against Cao Cao was led by Dong Zhuo's beloved generals, captain Li Meng, Li Meng led two thousand iron cavalry and two thousand foot soldiers to fight with Cao Cao's five thousand people, Li Meng ordered the infantry to attack in the front line, the cavalry galloped back and forth, and at first gained the upper hand, so that Cao Cao suffered a lot of losses, but then Cao Cao's Xiahou Yuan and Cao Hong led the formation to meet the enemy, and Xiahou Dun led the troops to counterattack, and more than two soldiers fought back, so that Li Meng was caught off guard and suffered a big loss, the cavalry suffered a lot, and even he himself almost died under the knife of Xiahou Xuan, Since then, I have been cautious.

Then began a tug-of-war, Li Mengjin was Cao Cao's defense, Li Meng's fatigue was Cao Cao's advance, Cao Cao's three fierce generals, Xiahou Xuan, Xiahou Yuan, and Cao Hong were no worse than Li Meng, but the recruits under their command were much worse than the Liangzhou Iron Cavalry, and after more than two hours of fierce battle, the Liangzhou Iron Cavalry was still aggressive, even though Cao Hong tried his best to restrain it, but there was still a rout.

When Xu Rong led two thousand cavalry to rush to attack, Cao Cao's team had a large-scale rout, Cao Cao saw that the general trend had gone, and hurriedly ordered the Xiahou brothers and Cao Hong to fight and retreat, all the way to the southeast, straight to Xu Xing Township, with the wall and houses, only slightly eased the offensive of Xu Rong and Li Meng, but they were scattered Xiahou Yuan.

Then there was another tragic battle in Xuxing Township, and in the end he could no longer hold on, and after Xiahoudun left behind, Cao Hong took dozens of personal guards to escort Cao Cao, who was disguised as a soldier, to retreat.

Just on the way back, and was pursued by the Xiliang iron cavalry, Cao Hong led the personal guards and the pursuers to fight fiercely, Cao Cao was attacked by an arrow, the war horse fell to the ground, was killed by two Hu soldiers, Cao Cao drew his sword to resist, when it was critical, Cao Hong rode to arrive, hacked the two Hu soldiers, rescued Cao Cao, and saw that his war horse was dead, and there were chasing soldiers in the distance, so he wanted to give his war horse to Cao Cao, Cao Cao did not accept, Cao Hong was anxious: "There can be no Hong in the world, but there can be no brother." ”

After that, Cao Hong ignored Cao Cao's opposition, helped him onto the war horse, took off his armor, galloped behind the horse, all the way to the east, until the bank of Bianshui, and finally got rid of the Liangzhou iron horse, but looking at the section of Bianshui in front of him was unfathomable, and he had no choice but to go all the way south to find the boat.

After the Bianshui, it was dusk, Cao Cao looked back at the west bank of the Bianshui, looked at the miserable appearance of himself and the Cao Hong brothers, and couldn't help crying: "Woohoo! We all came from the sour jujube, and we worked together to ask for thieves, and now Miaocai, Yuan Rang, and Yuncheng don't know life and death, and Zixu is even more victimized by thieves. ”

"Where righteousness lies, life and death are followed, and my brother doesn't have to be sad." Cao Hong gritted his teeth and said: "The soldiers and horses are gone, I will wait until I go back and recruit them, Hong is familiar with Chen Yuanyi, the assassin of Yangzhou, but I can go to him to recruit soldiers." ”

Cao Cao said: "You must first find Yuan Rang and Miaocai." ”

Cao Hong hurriedly said: "Yuan Rang and Miaocai, they all have martial arts, and since the elder brother has retreated, they will not fall in love with the war, and the elder brother should leave with Hong first to prevent the thieves from chasing him." ”

Unexpectedly, as soon as Cao Hong's words fell, nearly 100 people came out of the woods on the left, all wearing light armor, hanging long knives from their waists, holding crossbows, and aiming at the two of them.

Cao Hong hurriedly blocked in front of Cao Cao, seeing that the appearance of these people was not Hu Bing, he couldn't help but shout: "Who are you waiting for?" ”

Cao Cao saw this scene, his cheeks twitched, once so many crossbowmen attacked, they had no physiology, but when he saw the outfits of these crossbowmen, his eyes flashed, and he asked in a deep voice: "Is it Wenyuan?" ”

"Huh. Captain Cao is really like a god. ”

As a clear voice sounded, Zhang Liao appeared in front of Cao Cao with Shi A, and the hundreds of soldiers around him were naturally the smashing camp.

Zhang Liao stopped Xu Rong and volunteered to chase Bao Xin, in the name of chasing and killing, but in fact he rescued him, in addition to Bao Xin, he would not forget Cao Cao, a big man, and had already let Shi Ah stare at him. At this time, I saw Cao Cao's miserable description, but his bearing was not reduced, and he couldn't help but praise secretly, in history, Cao Cao and Liu Bei were general, they all rose in many failures, and they were tenacious, so they could have the last laugh, which was a hundred times stronger than Yuan Shao, Gongsun Zan and others who collapsed once they were frustrated, this is a hero!

"Wen Yuan has to take me to see Dong Thief?" Cao Cao didn't seem to hear Zhang Liao's estranged title of "Cao Xiaowei", and he just called "Wenyuan" in his mouth, as if he was an old friend.

Ignoring Cao Cao's clever approach, Zhang Liao nodded expressionlessly: "Xiangguo misses Captain Cao very much. ”

Cao Cao saw that Zhang Liao was unmoved, his eyes turned, he turned away from Cao Hong in front of him, ignored the crossbow arrows aimed at him, took two steps forward, and said angrily: "Wen Yuan, in the past, the two of us were both under the command of the general, and I knew that Wen Yuan was a young hero, but now why is Dong Zhuo serving his life and acting against the sky?" ”

Zhang Liao snorted: "What is acting against the sky, it seems that the history of the state herdsman, not governing the state and county, raising 100,000 troops, eating and drinking in sour dates, is it a righteous act?" ”

Cao Cao was silent, the same words, Bao Xin was difficult to answer, he was too, even though he and Bao Xin went west, but it is a fact that so many princes in the eastern part of the country were stranded in the sour jujube and did not advance, and now he suffered a big defeat, life and death are unpredictable, and his mood is low, and he is even more disappointed in the sour jujube princes.

"That's it!" Cao Cao sighed, pulled out the long sword at his waist and handed it to Zhang Liao: "Wen Yuan, take my head, ask Dong Zhuo for credit, if you get the position of a captain, it will not be in vain for you and my comrades!" ”

"Big brother, no!" Cao Hong shouted and hurriedly stopped.

Zhang Liao snatched the long sword and saluted Cao Cao with a fist: "Thank you Brother Mengde for your success, but the junior brother is already the position of the captain, and the head of Mengde should be exchanged for a lieutenant." Great kindness and righteousness, the little brother will not forget it! ”

After saying that, he patted his chest again, and said loudly: "Brother Meng De, don't worry, the younger brother will definitely go to the grave every year to pay respects, so that Brother Meng De can rest in peace under the Nine Springs." ”

The corners of Shi A's mouth twitched beside Zhang Liao, and he hurriedly held back a smile and maintained a cold expression.

Cao Cao's face froze, a little dazed, he didn't expect Zhang Liao to react like this, the Zhang Liao he knew should not be like this, right?

He subconsciously took a step back, his ambition was unsuccessful, how could he be willing to die, he only saw that he was surrounded by crossbowmen and had no hope of escaping, so he pretended to provoke Zhang Liao, but he didn't expect such a result.

Seeing this, Zhang Liao couldn't help but secretly rejoice in his heart, in fact, he had a good impression of this hero who changed the overall situation of the late Han Dynasty in history, although there were many bad deeds, but the political outlook was similar to his own. And he attaches great importance to feelings, and he has never blamed Mrs. Ding for being divorced, but has deigned to his mother's house several times to invite him, and many times Zhang Liao feels that Cao Cao's concept is very similar to himself.

However, although this guy is a character, no one knows his cunning character, how can he accept his fate and die so easily! Before, he was just provoking himself, and if he changed someone, he was afraid that he would be fooled, but he probably didn't expect that he was very familiar with his character.
