77, Meng De escaped

Under the defeat, the people were panicked.

Cao Cao saw that Cao Hong insisted, he didn't shirk anymore, and got on the horse directly, Cao Hong also hurriedly drew his sword and followed behind.

Cao Cao knew that the shallows and ferries near him must be places where the rout rushed to flee, and it would also attract a large number of Xiliang soldiers to pursue. Therefore, Cao Cao took Cao Hong and did not run directly to the nearest ferry, but hid his whereabouts and continued to go downstream of Bianshui, looking for a remote wilderness that no one cared about.

When most of the afterglow in the sky disappeared, leaving only a few clouds dyed red by the remnant sun, Cao Cao and Cao Hong, who had been hiding all the way, finally found a wild ferry downstream of Bianshui, and there were two boatmen in the distance with a small boat, which was moored not far from the ferry, as if waiting for something.

Cao Cao and Cao Hong were in defeat and fleeing, and finally found a wild ferry, and there was a boatman ferrying here, Cao Hong was overjoyed, and wanted to rush forward quickly, to the ferry to call the boatman close to the boat.

But Cao Cao has stabilized his mind, he stopped Cao Hong's behavior in time, Cao Cao's eyes are like a torch at the moment, his experience in encountering things and the skills of making a living are richer and more sophisticated than Cao Honglai, and his eyes on people are much more vicious.

Most of them will ferry, welcome and send the boat, and wait for some lonely travelers to come here, and then cut the path to rob and kill them.

Today, the Cao army and the Xiliang soldiers had a big battle on the bank of Bianshui, and the momentum created by the battle resounded within a radius of several miles, and ordinary farmers, peasant women, and merchants of Guizhou had already fled from this place far away, avoiding this murderous Huangquan land.

And this wild crossing, although it is downstream, but the sound of fighting in the upstream and the corpses of some soldiers who threw themselves into the water are only afraid that they have gone down the river and flowed downstream, but the two boat people still have no fear, dare to ferry in this wild ferry, and the reason can be imagined.

They also want to take advantage of the opportunity to make a war profit!

After Cao Cao gave Cao Hong's instructions, he walked to the ferry alone, pretending to be panicked, and shouted to the two boatmen who were not far away, trying to beckon the boatmen to come and cross the river.

The two boatmen, an old man and a young man, after hearing Cao Cao's shouting, glanced at each other, and did not immediately prop the boat over, but carefully scanned the situation around the ferry, and after determining that Cao Cao was the only one, he opened his mouth to answer, slowly swing the boat, and moored the boat close to the ferry.

The boat approached the ferry, and the two people on the boat had already seen Cao Cao clearly, only to see this person's unkempt appearance, and at first glance it was a rout who had just escaped from the battlefield.

After successfully mooring the boat at the ferry, the old boatman called Cao Cao to get on the boat, but Cao Cao seemed to react at this time, and saw that this old and young man, although coarse cloth and Ge clothes, but his face was full of flesh and with a gloomy atmosphere, he trembled and did not dare to get on the boat, but moved his steps, as if he wanted to turn away.

The old man and the young man on the boat saw that the fugitive was trembling and wanted to escape, and suddenly shouted, and the murder was revealed, and they all took out the swords hidden in the boat, jumped ashore quickly, and rushed straight to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao panicked and ran away, how could the old and the young let this rout escape, and they also followed closely one after the other, but they were getting farther and farther away from their boat

Seeing that he was about to catch up with the fleeing rout in front, but at this time, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves behind him, and the old boatman who fell behind was vigilant, and hurriedly turned back, only to catch a glimpse of a white shadow galloping, rushing from behind, the old boatman secretly said that it was not good, and just raised his knife to resist, he was cut off by Cao Hong on horseback, and cut off his head with a knife in front of him.

At this time, the young boatman also woke up and stopped the pursuit, but it was too late, he fled back and forth and was surrounded and intercepted by Cao Hong and Cao Cao, he knew that his two legs could not outrun the rout on horseback, so after hesitating for a while, he had to cry out and beg for mercy from the two.

Cao Cao had just made a plan to lure these two boatmen who ferried Yejin and plundered goods ashore, and now the plan was working, and it was important to escape, Cao Cao did not say much, first pretended to promise to spare the boatman's life, and then let Cao Hong escort the young boatman and go straight to the small boat moored at the ferry.

Cao Cao took the sword in his hand, first got into the boat, and then coerced the young boatman to get off the boat as well, and when Cao Hong arrived, he looked at the boat, and then at his horse, and estimated that the boat should be able to ride his horse, so he wanted to lead the horse out of the boat.

Cao Cao saw it in his eyes, anxious in his heart, he knew that he was in danger at the moment, the cavalry of the Xiliang soldiers was within reach, if Cao Hong was allowed to lead his horse off the boat, not only the hull was easy to lose balance, the boat was in the middle of the stream, once this young boatman did something wrong, let the boat capsize directly, then the two of them would be really dangerous, and even if this young boatman was honest and had no other bad intentions, but there was such a livestock on the boat, the speed of the ferry was bound to slow down a lot, once the Xiliang soldiers chased it, the arrows rained down, I'm afraid that they will still be unable to escape death.

However, this horse is Cao Hong's favorite mount, and he has just given it to Cao Cao, carrying himself to escape from life, if Cao Cao insists on abandoning this livestock at this time, I am afraid that it will inevitably make Cao Hong resentful, feeling that he is a cold-blooded and ruthless person.

Between the groans, Cao Cao had a plan in his heart, he suddenly shouted "Xiliang soldiers", and jumped from the bow of the boat to the ferry, and suddenly stretched out his hand to drag the panicked Cao Hong off the boat, and at the same time, inadvertently when the sword changed hands, he slashed his blade across the horse's stock, and the frightened horse suddenly raised his head and neighed under the blade, and ran out several feet away.

"This brute!"

Cao Cao made a look that he wanted to grab the bridle, but he didn't grasp it and was almost dragged down by the momentum of the war horse, he scolded angrily, and hurriedly jumped off the boat, not letting Cao Hong have time to react again, and immediately forced the young boatman to speed up the boat with his sword and sailed away from the ferry.

Cao Hong just stood firm on the boat, he saw his war horse suddenly rushed out, Cao Cao couldn't catch it, and hurriedly jumped off the boat, although he knew that the situation was urgent, but after all, he still couldn't let go of this horse that he bought with a lot of money, and saved his and Cao Cao's lives not long ago, he couldn't help but stand on the bow of the boat and called twice, the white bird was also quite spiritual, after being frightened and running out, he slowly calmed down, and after hearing the shout of the master, he actually walked back to the ferry.

"Oops!"

Cao Cao looked at the war horse that had just been secretly frightened away by himself, and then walked towards the ferry again, and he cursed secretly in his heart, lest Cao Hong want to go ashore again to bring back his beloved mount.

"Da Da Da-"

At this time, a sound of horses' hooves sounded rapidly, Cao Cao suddenly shouted "Xiliang soldiers", and poked the young boatman's waist with his sword, which frightened the young boatman to speed up the ferry in his hand again, and the boat was getting farther and farther away from the ferry.

The person who came happened to be Xu Huang chasing after him with a team of flying horses.

After defeating Bao Xin's left army, Yan Xing pursued and captured Cao's soldiers who had fled before and after, and sent Ma Lin and Xu Huang each with a team of Fei Lian cavalry to pursue Cao Cao.

Ma Lin led a team of Fei Lian cavalry to guard the rabbit, and at the road near the ferry on the battlefield, intercepted and killed the fleeing Cao soldiers, trying to meet Cao Cao and others who were also desperately fleeing. Xu Huang took the initiative to attack with a team of Fei Lian cavalry, and chased down all the way along Bianshui to prevent Cao Cao from crossing the river from the remote uninhabited wilderness and taking the opportunity to cross the river and escape to the other side.

Xu Huang pursued along the way, and the heads of Cao's soldiers were cut off a lot, but he couldn't meet Cao Cao who fled, and the idea of chasing and killing Cao Cao in his heart also disappeared a lot. Now when he arrived here, he happened to find this remote and uninhabited wild crossing, and Xu Huang, who had a thought, hurriedly slapped his horse and rushed over with many cavalry.

I saw a majestic horse wandering at the ferry, Xu Huang's eye is good, such a tall and majestic war horse is not something that ordinary cavalry can have, his master must be a general or something.

So after letting his cavalry work together to capture the horses, Xu Huang led his horses to the ferry, only to see that a flat boat had already left the ferry and was heading towards the center of the river.

Xu Huang looked into the distance, the boat had already taken advantage of the water potential, out of the range of the bow and arrows, and in addition to the boatman on the boat, there was a faint figure on the boat, but the people on the boat deliberately lay on the board of the boat, unable to see clearly, he hurriedly shouted:

"Zhoufu, we are the righteous army under the command of the Prime Minister of Jibei to fight for Dong, come back quickly, cross the river with us!"

Cao Cao, who heard Xu Huang's shout, snorted coldly, Bao Xin's left army collapsed first, and the casualties were only afraid that they were not much better than the large array of the Chinese army that carried the elite of the main force of the Xiliang army, where could it be possible to survive and escape so many cavalry, he continued to put his sword against the young boatman's waist, and without saying a word, he forced him to speed up.

The young boatman was forced by Cao Cao with a sword, where did he dare to speak out to respond to Xu Huang's words, but the movements at hand were getting faster and faster, Xu Huang saw that the boatman did not reply, but accelerated the speed of the boat, he knew that there must be a ghost on the boat, and immediately let a few cavalrymen under his command who were good at shooting horses and throwing arrows along the river, but unfortunately the boat had sailed away, and the arrows shot by several cavalry along the river had not yet approached the boat, and the momentum had been exhausted and fell into the water.

Xu Huang saw that the shot was hopeless, and when his mind was disappointed, he couldn't help but burst into a few foul words, scolded the boat in the center of the river for a while, and then turned back and let his subordinate Fei Lian ride away, took the captured steed, and took the lead to turn the horse away from the ferry.

When the boat arrived at the center, he saw that the Xiliang cavalry at the ferry shot arrows to no avail, and turned the horse to leave one after another, Cao Cao was only slightly relieved in his heart, but Cao Cao's vigilance against the young boatman did not relax, he replaced Cao Hong, who had lost his BMW and had a blue face, continued to force the young boatman to speed up.

People are in the river, when Cao Cao, who finally escaped, looked back at the other side, his heart was suddenly stunned again, Yuan Rang Miaocai, Wei Zi, Bao family brothers, Zi Xiaozi and, I don't know if they can also escape this catastrophe? There are also the 30,000 soldiers and horses gathered by Cao, Bao, Zhang and the local heroes who defected, how many people can come back alive this time?

Although Cao Cao, who had lost all his soldiers and horses, was glad that he had survived again, he looked at the vast Bianshui water and thought of fleeing alone and facing the treacherous sour jujube camp again, and his heart was sour.

The water is vast, the world is unsafe, the hero is poor, where is the road?
