The news of Xiahou Yuan's shooting spread quickly, and those Cao soldiers and horses who were pursuing the encirclement and suppression immediately fell into confusion and hesitation. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 The scattered Shu army took the opportunity to quickly retreat into the mountains to the south and get rid of the entanglement of the Cao army.

"The old general is really an arrow, just one arrow, he hit Xiahou Yuan in the throat, it's too powerful!" Fa Zheng was still immersed in joy, and from time to time he nagged again.

Huang Zhong proudly touched the longbow on his body: "Next, where are we going to make trouble?" ”

Fa Zheng's feet slipped, his body fell forward, he quickly supported it with his hands, stood up, rubbed two handfuls on the dry grass, and then rubbed the mud with his own two hands: "Don't make trouble, it's still too difficult here, hurry up and find Chen Zhi and Wei Yan back, everyone assembles, and makes a detour to return to Fu County." ”

"Then, do you want to stop attacking back and forth, and go over there to make trouble with Cao Zhen again?" Huang Zhong is still unsatisfied.

Fa Zheng said with a smile: "No, no, no, this kind of opportunity to shoot the enemy boss can be lucky to get it once, and it's all because Xiahou Yuan likes to rush forward bravely and sent it to the door himself." Cao Zhen must have taken strict precautions. We're going to get back safely, and we're going to make a little more detour to the south, and we're going to speed up, and we're going to be careful of the crazy revenge. ”

Huang Zhong lowered his head and pinched his fingers: "Alas, okay, it's time to go back." Counting it, the New Year will be in a few days, and it seems that it can only be spent in the mountains. ”

Fa Zheng hurriedly said: "That's also a festive year!" I estimate that Cao Cao will withdraw his troops in a few days, and he, like us, can only spend the New Year in the mountains. This year, I'm afraid it's the happiest year he's hahaha. ”

Cao Cao was already ready to go to bed, and suddenly there was an urgent letter delivered under the preaching, and he was a little upset, didn't he just receive a report two days ago that Huang Zhong and Wei Yan led people to the rear to make trouble, why was there anything important so quickly?

In fact, he was still a little suspicious that Huang Zhong and Wei Yan had gone deep into the rear, hadn't those two guys come to challenge before the formation, why did they run to our rear so quickly? Will they still fly?

When he opened the letter and saw the news of Xiahou Yuan's murder, he hurriedly rubbed his eyes, and then brought the letter close to the light and looked at it carefully, until the corner of the letter was ignited by the lamp, and then quickly threw it on the ground and stepped on it, picked it up and looked at it again.

It wasn't until his eyes were sore that the words on the letter remained unchanged, and he reached out and pinched his arm, convinced that he was not asleep and dreaming, that Cao Cao let out a long sigh and sat down on the couch.

Miaocai, Miaocai, you are extremely brave, the tiger is on the right, why did you end up being plotted by the enemy in the rear? I told you a long time ago, don't blindly fight bravely, you just don't obey, as the boss, do you want to go to the mountains to suppress what bandits?

"Someone's coming!" After sighing again, Cao Cao felt that he had to immediately send his cronies to clean up the situation.

Xu Chu heard the sound and entered the military tent: "Lord, what are your orders?" ”

"Where is the messenger now?" Cao Cao tried to calm himself down.

"I'm still waiting outside the tent."

Cao Cao waved his hand lightly: "Pass him in, and in addition, send someone to inform General Fubo to come to see me." ”

The messenger sergeant entered the tent, and Cao Cao asked softly, "You didn't disclose the news on this letter to anyone else along the way, did you?" ”

The sergeant knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly: "Prime Minister Mingjian, such a major military aircraft and a small life, naturally dare not reveal it to the public." ”

"That's good, you remember, you can't let anyone know about this here for the time being." Cao Cao instructed, "You wait outside the tent first, and then go back to the next night with General Fubo." ”

Xiahoudun answered, got up from the bed and entered Cao Cao's tent. Cao Cao took his hand, took a long breath, and said, "Yuan Rang, let's talk to you first, don't yell, okay?" ”

Xiahoudun nodded again and again, what do you want to say so carefully?

Cao Cao took the letter to him: "You, read it for yourself." ”

Before Xiahou could finish reading it, he roared first: "Huang Zhong's old ......"

Cao Cao hurriedly covered his mouth: "Don't roar, don't roar!" ”

Xiahoudun could only nod, and tears flowed down his eyes.

Seeing that Xiahoudun was quiet, Cao Cao raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder, and persuaded softly: "Alas, I only hate that the enemy is too cunning to sneak so far to assassinate." However, Miaocai is also too reckless, how can he go forward in person and run into the mountains to entangle with those hundreds of enemy bandits, this kind of thing, just send a general to besiege them. Okay, Yuan Rang, don't say much, now, you hurry up to Xia Zhi to take over the military affairs and take care of the aftermath for Miaocai, how about it? ”

"I'll go!" Xiahou hurriedly responded.

"Good! You rushed over overnight! Cao Cao nodded, and said softly, "This time Liu Bei made a surprise move to occupy Hanzhong, and we were one step late, one step later." They can't hold out according to the danger, and we came from afar, it is difficult to last long, now Miaocai has been killed, I already plan to retire after the New Year, you go there first to prepare, ensure that the road is unblocked, exterminate Huang Zhong and his gang, and wait for us to come back. ”

Early the next morning, Cao Cao summoned all the generals, led the army to Yangping Pass, and challenged Liu Bei loudly.

Liu Bei and the generals all felt strange: "This Cao Cao has not seen any movement for many days, why is it that the day after tomorrow is about to celebrate the New Year, but today he came to challenge with great fanfare?" ”

Zhang Fei frowned: "Perhaps, they think that the two masters have not fought for a long time, it is too deserted, and it is not lively enough?" ”

Ge Liang smiled: "Maybe it's because they have difficulty in grain transportation, and there are too few supplies for the New Year, so they want to come to us to ask for a little?" ”

"Alas," Liu Bei said worriedly, "I don't know what happened to Fa Xiaozhi, Huang Hansheng, and Wei Wenchang over there, and there must be no way to live a stable year." Strategist, you see that Cao Jun is so excited now, it can't be that they have an accident over there, right? ”

When he said this, Ge Liang was also worried: "Wei Yan is good at making claims, and he is not prepared enough to go deep behind enemy lines, and his life must be very difficult." But the lord doesn't have to worry too much, the enemy is definitely not so easy to catch them. In my opinion, Cao Jun suddenly made a big fanfare, maybe it was Fa Zheng who caused something behind enemy lines and made them anxious. ”

Zhang Hao and Xu Huang led the army to make trouble in front of the pass for three days in a row, and even on the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, they returned after noon, and then there was no movement for two consecutive days.

Liu Bei and all the soldiers strengthened their vigilance, and spent a year on the front line with peace of mind, until the third day of the new year, there was no movement of Cao's army, and they quickly sent people to approach to investigate, only to know that Cao Cao's army had withdrawn one after another.

The sergeants shouted victory, and some suggested that troops should be sent in pursuit.

Liu Bei disagreed: "The road here is narrow, Cao Cao is good at using soldiers, and the pursuit is afraid of being ambushed." It's good that he's gone, and we can go back to Chengdu with peace of mind. ”

Ge Liang seemed to have guessed something: "Cao Cao has only been here for a month, and he is so busy withdrawing his troops during the Chinese New Year, it seems that something big must have happened to him in the rear." (To be continued.) )
