Cao Cao's army rested for most of the hour, and when he saw that Sun Cejun did not chase after him, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and smiled at Cheng Yu: "Zhongde, if Liu Bei comes here again this time, our army will be in danger!" It's ridiculous that Liu Bei is narrow-minded, and Sun Ce is the enemy alone, and he has become the name of the erection! ”

Cheng Yu hadn't come out of the horror of the fire yet, and said tremblingly: "What the King of Wei said is still early, if Liu Bei leads the army to attack Yiling, and Xun Gang comes to meet the King of Wei, Jiangling will be in danger!" ”

Cao Cao laughed, not impressed at all: "Zhongde, you overestimate Liu Bei, although this person is a hero, but at this moment, if you come to attack at this moment, I am afraid that Yinan Liu Zhang will not agree!" Moreover, my son Huan Du Governor Luoyang and Chang'an, how could he not take this opportunity to go south to Hanzhong? ”

"Liu Bei really won't come to attack, King Wei didn't expect it badly, but he ......"

"Just?" Cao Cao looked at Cheng Yu thoughtfully.

Cheng Yu said in fear: "It's just that with Sun Ce's ambition, after defeating me, the next target is Jiangling and Xiangyang!" With the tired army of our army, how can it withstand the army of tigers and wolves? I hope that King Wei will make plans as soon as possible! ”

Cao Cao seemed to have forgotten the previous defeat, and said quite complacently: "Zhongde is too worried! I still have 10,000 tigers and leopards riding in Jiangling, including Wen Lie, Zihe, and Zidan, and there are even fierce generals like Lu Bu! Didn't he, Sun Ce, call himself the little overlord? Let him see who is the real overlord of this era! ”

Cheng Yu saw that the persuasion was ineffective, so he could only shake his head helplessly, looking at Xun Yu who had been silent for a long time, as if hoping that he could persuade Cao Cao to pay more attention. However, even though Xun You understood that Cheng Yu's advice was indeed correct, how could Cao Cao listen to it at this moment?

The defeat made Cao Cao look in a trance, as if he had completely changed into a person; Even if it was what the mastermind Xun You said, I was afraid that Cao Cao would turn a deaf ear.

"Report! King Wei, enemy soldiers suddenly appeared fifty miles behind! ”

The scout suddenly reported that Cao Cao was so frightened that he got up from the ground and asked, "Who will be the master?" What is the geometry of the soldiers and horses? ”

The scout said: "The dense forest is deep, and there are probably thousands of soldiers and horses!" Who the Lord will be is unknown! ”

Seeing this, Cheng Yu hurriedly said: "King Wei, I'm afraid that the enemy army will be in trouble, if Sun Ce's main force is the army and horses, I will rest everything!" Please also ask the King of Wei to get on his horse quickly and retreat towards Jiangling! ”

Cao Cao thought that Sun Ce would not send people to pursue, but he wanted to rest for so long and still chase after him, so he hurriedly mounted his horse and led the remaining thousands of soldiers and horses to retreat to the northwest under the protection of Xiahou Yuan, Xu Huang and others.

Cao Cao retreated quickly, and perhaps he asked Liu Bei about the essence of the retreat; It was only then that Cao Cao could appreciate the tragedy of Yuan Shao's official crossing and leading the remnants of the seven defeated troops to escape across the Yellow River.

"How similar is Lone to that Yuan Benchu!"

While he was lamenting, he suddenly heard a commotion in the forest, as if thousands of troops and horses were galloping; The nerves of the exhausted remnants of the defeated army instantly tensed, and Cao Cao looked to the side in horror, but he didn't know what was in the forest.

"There is a defeated army ahead, hurry up and grab it!"

I don't know who in the forest shouted, only to see a gust of wind blowing, hundreds of water ghosts suddenly out of the forest, all of them with open chests and exposed breasts, green dragon tattoos on their shoulders, and a long-handled scimitar in their hands.

The leader has several strings of bells around his waist, a sea sword in his hand, a strange pattern painted on his face, and his words are full of ruffianism, but there is a touch of officers and soldiers between his actions.

"Grab the money!"

The man shouted, and a whole army of water ghosts rushed towards Cao Cao's remnants, without the slightest mercy in the sea sword in his hand, and at every turn, two or three bloody heads slid down weakly, killing Cao Jun's farts and urine.

This army was naturally Gan Ning's Jinfan Army, which lurked in the Yangtze River for several days, and finally waited for Cao Cao's defeat! Today is the time to beat the water dog, although Gan Ning has no deep hatred with Cao Cao, but this is Xun Gang's order, and he obeys it unconditionally.

Cao Cao didn't expect that there were thieves waiting for him in this forest, so he was shocked and hurriedly commanded his troops and horses to meet the enemy; How do you know that Gan Ning's Jinfan army is one to ten, and in the face of the defeat of the remnants, they all boost their morale and boost their spirits, and kill Cao Cao without the power to fight back.

"Quickly leave the baggage with the army, and the whole army will retreat!"

Cao Cao also understood what these people meant, they just beat the water dogs and grabbed some resources and money; Since there was no need for him to continue to deal with them, he hurriedly ordered someone to drop the baggage and flee in a hurry.

Gan Ning looked at the baggage all over the ground, smiled at the direction of Cao Cao's escape, packed up the baggage, and went back to join Ma Chao.

……

Cao Cao didn't expect that the house leak would rain overnight, and even the bandits he usually couldn't look down on could on his head! Depressed, he walked slowly northwest, and when two roads diverged, he asked, "Where is this?" ”

Xiahou Yuan said: "King Wei, this place is the west of Wulin, the north of Yidu, and it is not far from Jiangling; There are two roads ahead, one is a wide road, but it is more than forty miles away from the other path; The other trail is close, but it's muddy and difficult to walk. The place where I discussed with Xun Gang before was there. ”

Cao Cao shook his head and said: "Now that morale is low, we should not be willing to go far; Since the path discussed with Xun Gang is the path, let's take the path......"

Everyone promised, and for fear that the thieves would appear again, they let the horse team take the lead and the foot team last, protected Cao Cao in the middle, and slowly walked towards Huarong Xiaolu.

As Xiahou Yuan said, the roads here are extremely muddy, and the heavy snowfall a few days ago makes it difficult for horses to move; Cao Cao had no choice but to let the front team move forward while the grass was on the side. Many soldiers died on the way, but Cao Cao couldn't be soft-hearted, and made the dead corpses the same way forward, which was extremely miserable.

"Lord, the exit ahead!"

Cheng Yu looked at it in front of him and was ecstatic, Cao Cao couldn't help but step up, success was ahead; Although he was defeated by Sun Ce this time, he failed to hurt himself fundamentally, as long as he can go back alive, then he will not lose!

"Where are the soldiers and horses of Xun Gang?"

Cao Cao looked around, but he didn't see Xun Gang's answering soldiers and horses, but there was a faint murderous aura at the exit; Cao Cao faintly felt that something was wrong, so he prepared to withdraw his soldiers and horses and go to Jiangling from the main road.

At this moment, I suddenly heard the sound of a sky-splitting cannon in the sky, and I saw a thousand iron horsemen running out of the dense forest on the left and right, Ma Dai on the left, and Pang De on the right, all wearing golden helmets and cracked armor, and the Xiliang horses under their crotch were like a fierce tiger screaming happily!

"Cao thief, I've been waiting for you for a long time!"

Cao Cao was shocked, he recognized these two people, they were two generals under Ma Chao! He had heard that Ma Chaoyu's party was defeated by Liu Bei, and he didn't know where he was, but he didn't expect to escape to Jingzhou!

Without saying a word, I could only hear the neighing of a horse's hooves in the valley, and a brocade-robed general descended like a heavenly general, with a solemn face and unfathomable majesty; The five hundred iron horsemen behind were all angry, as fearsome as King Kong!

"Cao thief, I've been waiting for you for a long time!"

Ma Chao's eyes were swollen red, and he looked at his enemy Cao Cao without the slightest mercilessness.

Cao Cao looked up to the sky in despair and roared...... Everything is over!
