Chapter 334, Cao Cao retreated

After returning to Gepo, Zhao Yun immediately asked people to prepare a meal, let these soldiers eat first, the meal was very rich, and Zhao Yun also made an exception to allow them to drink.

At this time, these Cao soldiers were at their lowest mood, they had just lost the battle, they were all hanging their heads and sighing embarrassed, and drinking some wine could also stabilize their emotions.

After everyone had eaten, Zhao Yun came to everyone again, "You are all good." ”

The first sentence Zhao Yun said surprised these people.

A Cao military captain stood up, "Are you laughing at us, we obviously suffered a defeat." ”

Zhao Yun nodded, "Yes, you did lose the battle, but we are outnumbered, and you are in a passive situation in the depths, but you still made me pay a lot of casualties, and your performance deserves to win my respect." ”

"Hmph, what's there to be proud of losing to a bunch of mud legs." The lieutenant sneered at himself.

Zhao Yun smiled and took off the beard on his face, "Losing to the mud legs is indeed not very beautiful, but you lost to the men and horses of my commander Zhao Yun." ”

"What? Are you Zhao Yun? The lieutenant stood up in surprise, stared at Zhao Yun carefully, and doubted, "Are you really Zhao Yun, Changshan Zhao Zilong?" ”

Zhao Yundao: "What? Do you think there are still people in this world who are pretending to be me? ”

"I can't believe it's you." The lieutenant sighed, "I took it this time, and I was completely convinced." ”

Originally, these people chose to surrender, and they were still a little unwilling in their hearts, but now, they are relieved and somewhat comforted.

As long as Zhao Yun is mentioned, looking at the world, no one knows, no one knows, since his debut, Zhao Yun has fought in the east and west, and has never lost a battle, and is known as a victorious general.

Kill Gao Lan, pick Huang Zu, and today kill Le Jin, Zhao Yun's name, for these Cao soldiers, the weight is really not light.

Zhao Yun asked Le Jin's body to be carried in, and until now he still didn't know who he had killed.

After asking clearly, Zhao Yun nodded, "Although each has its own master, General Lejin is still admirable." ”

Zhao Yun personally led people to bury Lejin on the nearby mountain, and these Lejin's subordinates saw that Zhao Yun treated Lejin so kindly, and their hostility towards Zhao Yun also decreased a lot, and after burying Lejin, Zhao Yun began to bury his own soldiers.

Before entering the earth, the commander of the army, Bo, would carefully write down their names in a notebook, and then go back so that they could be compensated one by one according to the roster.

Zhao Yun's expression was solemn, and he could barely squeeze out a few smiles on his face in front of the surrendered troops, but in the face of the soldiers who died on his side, his mood was extremely heavy.

"It's all good, we must do a good job of cleaning up the aftermath and engrave their names on the martyrs' monument in their hometown."

"No."

After doing all this, Zhao Yun did not dare to slack off in the slightest, and once again sent the scouts out in batches, closely monitoring the movements of Cao's army, and reporting at any time once he found the transportation of grain and grass.

Le Jin was killed, and before dawn, Cao Cao learned the news, and Cao Cao's frightened sleepiness disappeared.

Hurriedly summoned Xun You and Guo Jia, Cao Cao had a gloomy face, and worry and anger continued to accumulate in his chest, "You say, is it necessary to continue to fight this battle?" ”

The siege was unfavorable, the grain route was cut off, Cao Cao had already had the idea of retreating, this group of yellow turban thieves was able to defeat the 5,000 army led by Le Jin, it can be seen that the combat power cannot be underestimated, and the other party can see through Guo Jia's strategy, which makes Cao Cao believe that it is very likely that the situation will become worse if he does not retreat.

Cao Cao is very confident in dealing with an enemy alone, but now, Zhang Xiu himself is a difficult bone to gnaw, and there is an annoying yellow scarf behind him, which is very unfavorable to Cao Cao.

Guo Jia nodded, "The lord is reasonable, in my opinion, it's time to retire, Zhang Xiu takes advantage of the city, it is difficult for us to take advantage, and now the grain cannot be transported smoothly, there is not much grain left in the army, it has been delayed for a long time, and the morale is unstable, and at that time, we will be more passive." ”

The grain road was cut off, Zhang Xiu was also crazy, repeatedly sent troops to attack Cao Cao's camp, the situation became more and more unfavorable, Cao Cao no longer hesitated, decided to retreat quickly, but at this juncture, someone came to report, Jingzhou Cai Mao led the army around Cao Cao's back, and preemptively assembled in Anzhong County.

Cao Cao was taken aback, "It's not good, Cai Mao wants to cut off our way back." ”

The soldiers and generals around him were all a little panicked, and now the grain and grass were cut off, Zhang Xiu also smelled the bad smell of Cao Cao, and there was a great momentum to launch a counteroffensive.

Cao Cao sneered, "This is Liu Biao's style, before I fought with Zhang Xiu several times, he didn't move, stayed aside and sat on the side to watch the tiger fight, now, knowing that the situation is extremely unfavorable to me, he thinks that the opportunity has come, but unfortunately, Cai Mao doesn't know how to use soldiers, and he made the wrong calculation." ”

I know Cai Mao Cao very well, the two can be said to have grown up together with bare butts, when Cao Song was in power before, Cai Mao also lived in his uncle Zhang Wen's house, and often played with Cao Cao, the relationship between the two was very good, after so many years, the Cai family married Liu Biao, and Cai Mao also rose to become the governor of Jingzhou's navy, for Cai Mao, whether it is the interests of the family or Liu Biao's orders, it is far higher than the insignificant affection with Cao Cao when he was a child.

Guo Jia and Xun You glanced at each other, and seeing that Cao Cao was not worried but happy, Guo Jia asked, "Lord, have you thought of a way to deal with Cai Mao?" ”

Cao Cao smiled mysteriously, "You just have to rest assured, early tomorrow morning, retreat with me." ”

Cao Cao deliberately hung everyone's appetite, and Guo Jia stopped asking.

In the turn of the day, Cao Cao pulled out the camp and raised troops, Zhang Xiu thought that the opportunity had come, and decided to pursue immediately, but was persuaded by Xu Shu "General, poor Kou Mo chases, Cao Cao has always been treacherous and scheming, this retreat, it seems to be in a hurry, but it is not so easy to deal with, Cao Cao has always been proficient in the way of using soldiers, and he must be prepared." ”

Zhang Xiu didn't believe it at all, "The difference between the military advisor's words, and now that Cao Thief is retreating, his morale will inevitably be low, and it is a great opportunity to pursue in one go, how can he easily miss it." ”

Xu Shu couldn't persuade him, he sighed helplessly, Zhang Xiu personally led three thousand soldiers to chase up, but before he was halfway, he encountered an ambush, Cao Hong Yu forbade a left and a right, from the Black Stone Canyon to kill, Zhang Xiu was caught off guard, Zhang Xiu's soldiers were broken and only took a thousand remnants of the army and retreated.

Zhang Xiu was angry and very depressed, but Xu Shu persuaded, "General, now you can rest assured that you can boldly chase after it, Cao Cao will definitely neglect to take precautions and will lose the battle." ”

"Oh?"

Zhang Xiu was puzzled, half-convinced, and reorganized the army to pursue, sure enough, in less than two hours to catch up with Cao Cao's rear army, Cao's army was defenseless and killed and wounded, Zhang Xiu was overjoyed in his heart, and continued to chase closely.
