Chapter 166: Bocai's retreat

Twenty miles outside Xuchang City, the military camp is continuous, the formation is strict, this place is where the main force of the Yellow Turban Army is located, a tall and strong general, is sitting in front of the tent, staring at the sand table on the table, thinking about countermeasures.

"Report to the general, Bo Shuai is here," a general commander stepped forward to report.

"Huh? Bo Shuai? Why are you here at this time? ”。

As soon as the doubts in his mind rose, he saw a big man with a face full of vicissitudes walking in outside, and there were only seven or eight deputy generals behind him.

"Bo Shuai, you are ~~~~~~~~~".

"Fuck, it's all those bastards of the Cao family, immediately mobilize the people, I want to kill and take revenge" Bo Cai was angry when he heard this inquiry, and he was angry in his stomach, and finally found the breaking point, but he could only open his mouth to scold the people of the Cao family, because the person in the face was not only his sworn brother, but also his right-hand man.

This person is the deputy marshal of the Yingchuan Yellow Turban Army, Bocai's brother Peng Tuo, who has followed Bocai since childhood, and the two grew up begging for food.

"Brother, you tell me what happened first" Peng Tuo's heart was shocked, and he immediately knew that something was wrong, so he hurriedly asked.

Bo Cai was embarrassed, and gave the deputy general next to him a look, and the deputy general said it helplessly, but he just concealed his plan and was stolen from the city.

The more Peng Tuo listened, the darker his face became, and after listening to it, his brows were already wrinkled.

"Why doesn't my brother go back to Fanchang? Since Linying was captured, then Fanchang is our last base, and all the military reserves are in these two cities, if Fanchang is also lost, then our 50,000 troops will have to wait for death" Peng Tuo didn't know that Bo was in the middle of the plan, and he had already broken his guts, so he didn't dare to go to Fanchang and come here directly.

Bocai's old face turned red, waved his hand to call the deputy general to retreat, and said with a sigh, "Brother, I won't hide it from you, this time it was our military division who secretly used a trick to seize Linying, I expected that most of Fanchang would not be able to keep it, so he fled here, what do you think we should do next?" ”。

"Brother is confused, that husband used tricks to steal the city, it is not easy to take Linying, how can it be possible to take Fanchang again, you and I are all in the two cities, we must not lose them together" Peng Tuo's face changed greatly, his brother was still a little scheming on weekdays, but he didn't expect that when he was in danger, he would be so unbearable.

Bocai also thought of this, but he was embarrassed to admit, "Then I will transfer an army back now, and it should not be captured yet."

"I hope so, my brother can take 5,000 soldiers back to see what is going on, if Fanchang is still there, my brother can enter the city to rectify, it is best to transport all the grain and grass to me, plus the thousands of men and horses left behind by Fanchang, Cao's army will never be able to attack it, my brother can only hold on, but Fanchang has lost his ~~~~~~~" Peng Tuo was silent for a moment and gritted his teeth and said, "Brother must not come forward, only return to me, let's discuss it in the long run."

"Well, that's all there is to it," Bo nodded and sighed.

With 5,000 men and horses, the mighty march towards Fanchang, listen to Peng Tuo's opinions along the way, and send more horses to explore the horses, so as not to be ambushed.

In the depths of the dense forest, a pair of eyes stared at the Yellow Turban Army who was hurrying by, and the corners of each person's mouth showed a cold smile.

"Brother, this wave is really coming, Brother Gongda is really like a god," Cao Ren whispered to the side.

"Hey, hey~~~~~~ Fanchang is their last lifeline, and they will inevitably send troops to take a look, with our forces, it is impossible to take this city in a short time, and Gongda's strategy is also considered vicious" Cao Cao laughed twice and said slowly.

As early as the moment Xun Yu brought back the news, Cao Cao thought of the importance of this prosperity, as long as he took this city, his 50,000 Yellow Turban army would collapse without a fight.

However, it is impossible to capture this city in a short time, so Xun You came up with this strategy, first destroy the reinforcements, and then destroy the thief city.

Watching the cautious passage of the Yellow Turban Army, Cao Cao sneered in his heart, and said secretly, "Sure enough, I have been scared, and I am not even in a hurry to rescue, but it is just right."

Thinking of this wave of his hand, the general next to him shot out with an arrow, and a group of people and horses were suddenly killed on both sides of the woods, "Kill the ~~~~~ who captures the talents, and the bounty is one hundred taels" Cao Cao gave an order, and the Cao army, whose morale was like a rainbow, killed the Yellow Turban Army like a tiger.

"Sure enough, there is an ambush, give me a retreat" Bo Cai didn't panic this time, just like it was normal to be ambushed, but even if he expected it, he didn't have the courage to face it.

The five thousand men and horses retreated neatly one after another, the formation was not chaotic at all, obviously the preparation of the contingency was informed in advance, the rear formation changed to the front formation, and only one head was turned to complete the retreating formation, so even Cao Cao was startled.

Looking at the neat arrangement of the Bocai army, Cao Cao hurriedly told his soldiers to stop, just waving his flag and shouting in the forest, and did not pursue.

"If this is used to defend against the enemy, I'm afraid that my manpower won't be able to break through this formation at all, and I don't know if this wave is a waste, or a general~~~~" Looking at the neat formation, Cao Cao felt that if such a change of formation went straight to Fanchang, with his current soldiers, he couldn't stop it at all, but he just used it to retreat, is he really too lucky?

"Hahaha~~~~ Brother, this wave is scared, and he doesn't even have the courage to fight, we don't have to bother to break the formation, he wants to go, just tell him to go, it won't be long before Fanchang will be taken down by us, at that time they just want to go back, it's too late" Cao Ren laughed and looked at the Yellow Turban Army in the distance and laughed.

"En~~~~ At this time, Gongda should have almost captured Fanchang, let's go back and drink his celebration bar" Cao Cao smiled slightly and beckoned everyone to go towards Fanchang.

Although the formation of the Bocai army was neat, the panic in his heart did not decrease at all, and he fled for more than thirty miles, and only calmed down when he saw that the Cao army did not chase after him.

When he returned to the military camp outside Xuchang, he told Peng Tuo about the matter, and secretly said in his heart, "Fortunately, I saw the opportunity quickly, otherwise I am afraid that I will lose my troops again."

Peng Tuo was already a little helpless after hearing this, his heart was extremely heavy, his brother was really frightened, and he didn't have much to say at the moment, so he had to nod and respond, "Brother is safe and sound, in this case, Fanchang must have fallen into the hands of Cao Jun, we are short of food and grass at the moment, and there are only two ways to go."

"Those two roads?" Bo Cai heard that Peng Tuo was paying attention, and hurriedly asked.

Peng Tuo thought for a while, looked at Xuchang in the distance and said, "The first way is to attack the city with all its might, Xuchang is an important town in Yingchuan, the city is rich in grain and grass, as long as the city is captured, it will be able to solve the urgent need, and when the time comes, gather people and horses, and slowly deal with the Cao army, but ~~~~~~ this city tower is high and thick, easy to defend and difficult to attack, with our current morale, I am afraid it is difficult to conquer in a short time~~~~."

"That's right, my brother has been attacking here for many days, and I haven't seen any plan to break the city, I'm afraid it's going to drag on for a month or two, and it's difficult to capture, our grain and grass are only enough for ten days, I don't think this road is passable."

"Then there is only one last way, my brother may have to be wronged" Peng Tuo shook his head and sighed, he knew that Bo was a strong person and would not tolerate it in face, so this road was not said for a long time.

"Brother, let's just say it, we're all about to be trapped here, what kind of face are we talking about" Bocai also has self-knowledge, this time because of his own mistakes, he lost so many soldiers, and even lost two cities in a row, if he is paying attention to it, I am afraid that his life will not last long.

"Okay, since that's the case, my brother will listen to my plan, let's go to Chenliu, temporarily take refuge in him Yang Feng, Yanzhou is vast, there is always a place for us, endure for a year and a half, wait for the soldiers to be enough, and then it's not too late to rise up."

"Yang Feng ~~~~~" Bo was disgusted when he heard this name, the two were already on an equal footing, and they were adjacent state capitals, but Yang Feng always looked at himself above the top, looking down on his poor background, isn't he just the queen of the official eunuch, what's the big deal.

But at this time, Bo Cai had no choice, gritted his teeth and said hatefully, "Just listen to my brother, and I'll be patient for a while."

"Okay, without further ado, I'll straighten out the people and set off immediately~~~" Peng Tuo saw Bo and agreed, his heart was wide, his brother was too face-saving, and he was afraid that he would cut off this road for a while, then I was afraid that he would really wait for death.

The army of 50,000 is not just leaving, Peng Tuo rectified for two days before he packed up, the army set off towards Chen Liu, Bo Cai finally glanced at the direction of Xuchang and Fanchang, snorted fiercely, and didn't say much, he could only secretly hate in his heart, "It seems that I can't stay in this old nest, but sooner or later I will take it back, those boys of the Cao family, I want to make you die well, the most hateful thing is that military division, don't let me catch it, otherwise I will peel you and cramp, chew and swallow ~~~~~~~~ alive." ”。

What Bo Cai thinks, now it is not a matter for Cao Cao and the others to consider, because Fanchang is not as easy to attack as they imagined, it took two days of effort, lost more than 2,000 soldiers and horses, and finally broke the city under the premise of the surrender of the main general, which really made everyone anxious.

In the city lord's mansion, Cao Cao sat in the first place, "Come, bring me the people who defend the city."

After a while, a general was escorted up, only to see that this person was eight feet tall, with a long beard, a fierce appearance, and his eyes were wide open, and he didn't kneel down when he looked at Cao Cao, but just stood there coldly.

"What's your name, why are you abetting and abusing" Cao Cao doesn't care what his temper is, since he has captured this city, it is up to him to kill or chop him.

"Lao Tzu's name is Niu Jin, the city is dedicated to me, why do you treat me like this, Lao Tzu is not convinced" Niu Jin roared, the voice shook the sky, it can be seen that this person's voice is loud.

"Hmph, if you want to sacrifice the city, why not surrender early, the lives of more than 2,000 soldiers in our army will die in vain, and I will compensate for your life today" Cao Cao was furious and ordered to kill this person.

"Lao Tzu is not convinced, Lao Tzu is not convinced~~~~~~~~~~" Niu Jin screamed and was dragged down.

Cao Ren on the side suddenly stepped forward and said, "Wait, brother listen to me, although this person is late to dedicate the city, but after all, he is a general, and he fought to the death for two days, and he only surrendered when he heard that Bocai Pifu retreated, it can be seen that his person is loyal, I think it will be useful to leave him in the future, and please ask my brother to be gracious."
