Cheng Yu and the others asked to see Cao Cao, which made him feel the seriousness of the matter.

With his brows furrowed, Cao Cao asked Guo Jia and Xun You, "You two mean the same thing?" ”

"It's not just us." Guo Jia said: "Even Gongzi means the same thing. Knowing that Liu Xuande was gone, he had led the dragon pattern to ride out of the city to chase after him. ”

"Zirong chased after him?" Cao Cao was stunned.

"Childe said that the possibility of catching up with Liu Xuande is very slim." Xun You said: "He led the troops out of the city, it was nothing more than an attempt. If you can't catch up with Liu Xuande, it will also confirm a problem. ”

"Liu Xuande has long wanted to run?" Cao Cao asked.

"He doesn't just want to run." Guo Jia said: "If it is not Cao Gong who sits in Xu Du, but Tao Qian and others, I am afraid that Xu Du will already be his!" ”

Cao Cao's face became more and more solemn, his brows tightened, and he said to Cheng Yu and the others: "Send someone to assist Zirong immediately and chase Liu Xuande back!" ”

Cao Cao was persuaded by Cheng Yu and others, and Cao Shuo led the dragon pattern out of the city.

It was snowing heavily, and after leaving the city, Cao Shuo couldn't see what was ahead at all.

"Can you find Liu Xuande's footprints?" He asked Chen Zhi.

"The snow was so heavy that the footprints of the road I had just walked were soon buried." Chen Zhi said: "It is impossible for us to know where Liu Xuande is. ”

"How many scouts were sent?" Cao Shuo asked again.

"More than a dozen." Chen Zhi said: "It's just a snowy day, and it's difficult for scouts to find Liu Xuande's traces. ”

"He's really picky." Cao Shuo said: "Chase east first, whether you can catch up depends on creation." ”

Chen Zhi shouted to the dragon pattern cavalry soldiers: "Soldiers, follow Gongzi to chase Liu Xuande!" ”

There was a thick layer of snow accumulated on the ground, and the dragon-patterned horsemen marched through the snow, and the advantage of the war horse was completely absent.

It will be very difficult for the horses to go further in each journey.

chased from daytime to dark, and there was still no news of Liu Bei.

"Childe, it looks like you can't catch up." Chen Zhi asked, "What should I do?" ”

"It's snowing so hard that you can't sleep in the wild." Cao Shuo said: "It's too late to return to Xudu, let's see if there is a village nearby." ”

"I'll let someone look for it." Chen arrived.

It is much easier to find a village than to find Liu Bei.

After walking forward for a long time, a fast horse came over: "Childe, there is a village not far ahead." ”

"More than 300 people should be able to squeeze in one village for the night." Cao Shuo shouted, "We will stay in the village in front tonight. ”

Rush with the team to the village where the scouts have discovered.

Approaching the entrance of the village, Cao Shuo stopped.

He raised his arm and motioned for the Dragon-Patterned Rider not to act rashly.

"Why do I feel that something isn't quite right here?" Chen Zhi asked Cao Shuo.

"You feel it too?" Cao Shuo asked.

"I feel it." Chen Zhi said: "The village is too quiet, and the silence is a little weird. ”

"Send someone over and take a look." Cao Shuo instructed Chen Zhi.

Chen Zhi said to a few dragon pattern riders behind him: "A few of you go over and take a look, be careful, don't rush into the village!" ”

A few dragon patterns responded, and rode forward.

Although the vision is blurred on a snowy day, it is more beneficial than usual.

That is, at night, the light is a little brighter than usual.

Watching several dragon pattern riders walk to the entrance of the village, Cao Shuo heard a shout from the wind and snow: "There are people in the village in ambush!" ”

"Enter the village!" Cao Shuo shouted: "No matter who it is, it's all for me!" ”

Together with Chen Zhi, he led three hundred dragon pattern horsemen to rush to the village.

When they arrived at the entrance of the village, they were greeted by a feather arrow.

With shields in hand to shield them from the rain of arrows, the dragon-patterned cavalry rushed towards the village.

The arrows fired at them were a group of soldiers wearing Cao Jun's armor.

Rushing into the village, the dragon-patterned cavalry soldiers brandished their lances and stabbed at the group of Cao soldiers who were coming up to kill them.

The snow on the ground was very deep, and the charge of the dragon rider was limited by the snow, and the two sides fought together, and they could only suppress their opponents with superb martial arts.

Cutting down a Cao soldier, Cao Shuo shouted: "I am Cao Shuo, those who put down their weapons will not die, and those who resist will not be forgiven!" ”

The wind and snow were heavy, and his voice was drowned out in the wind.

However, there were still some Cao Jun who were fighting with the dragon pattern cavalry who heard it.

Cao Jun, who heard the shouting, retreated one after another, and they shouted: "It's the second son!" ”

"Put down your weapons!" Chen Zhi and Deng Zhan led the dragon pattern cavalry and surrounded the retreating Cao army.

There were not many Cao troops in the village who resisted, and the battle ended after a while.

One of the largest rooms in the village.

Several Cao Jun officers who were tied up with five flowers stood in front of Cao Shuo.

They lowered their heads one by one, and they didn't dare to look at Cao Shuo.

"Who told you to set up an ambush here?" Cao Shuo asked them with a cold face.

"It's Gong Liu." An officer said timidly: "He said that we are going to Qingzhou to exterminate the remnants of Yuan Shu, and maybe there will be remnants of the party arranged in Yuzhou with Yuan Shu to obstruct them......

"The Dragoons are clearly armoured, I don't believe you can't see who they are." Cao Shuo's eyes widened, and he asked the officer, "What did Liu Xuande say to you?" Are you so desperate for him? ”

Several officers bowed their heads and did not dare to speak.

They did see that it was the Dragon-Patterned Rider who was rushing into the village, but they ordered it to be stopped.

"Childe asked, are you all dumb?" Chen Zhi asked.

Several trembling officers hurriedly knelt down, and kept kowtowing to Cao Shuo and said, "Please be gracious, we are blinded by pig......"

"Say, what benefits did Liu Xuande give you?" Cao Shuo asked coldly.

"It's no good." An officer said: "He just promised us, as long as we follow him, we will have all the beauty and money in the future......"

"The dog who lost his family still dares to talk about beauty and money." Cao Shuo smiled coldly and said to Chen Zhi: "These people are all in custody and let people be interrogated, I want to know what Liu Xuande has planned!" ”

Chen arrived, and ordered several dragon riders standing in the room: "Take them out!" ”

Several officers were escorted out.

Chen Zhi said to Cao Shuo: "Childe, it seems that Liu Xuande really went out......

"We're going in the wrong direction." Cao Shuo said: "He knows very well that these people are powerless to stop us at all, and the purpose of leaving these people is to confuse the public and let us chase down this road." ”

"Liu Xuande is really cunning." Chen Zhi said: "Childe has been wary of him for a long time, but I didn't expect to let him run away!" ”

"Take care of these captives, and we will return to Xudu early tomorrow morning and hand them over to my father." Cao Shuo commanded.

"Childe is going to keep them?" Chen Zhi asked.

"This is Yuzhou, not Huainan." Cao Shuo said: "I have already won Huainan, from now on, it is more appropriate to push the decision to my father in Yuzhou." ”
