Chapter 933 - Promised not to kill them
When Cai Yang raised his army, Liu Bei had already gone away.
led the soldiers and horses to chase all the way, and walked more than ten miles, Cai Yang was about to give the order to speed up, when there was a sudden shouting of killing on the side of the road.
Just after shouting and killing, countless arrows flew out.
The soldiers of the Cao army, who were caught off guard, were shot down by arrows.
"Defense, defense!" Suddenly attacked, Cai Yang shouted loudly.
The soldiers of the Cao army were also well-trained, and soon formed a shield array.
But as soon as their shield array was formed, countless enemy troops poured out of the night.
It was Guan Yu who took the lead.
With a big knife in hand, Guan Yu rode his horse and rushed towards Cai Yang.
Cai, who was still busy letting the soldiers defend, didn't notice that Guan Yu was rushing towards him.
"General be careful!" The captain saw Guan Yu and shouted loudly to Cai Yang.
Hearing the reminder, Cai Yang hurriedly turned around, but Guan Yu had already rushed behind him.
Guan Yu's hand fell, and Cai Yang fell off the horse.
"Cai Yang is dead, and there is no mercy for those who resist!" Cutting off Cai Yang's head, Guan Yuti shouted loudly in his hand: "Those who put down their weapons can live!" ”
The main general was killed, and the soldiers brought by Cai Yang were suddenly a little flustered, and they had not yet had a stable formation, and they collapsed instantly under the enemy's charge.
Seeing that they were defeated, many Cao troops put down their weapons and surrendered, and some Cao troops scattered and fled.
"Second brother." Guan Yu was about to lead the army to catch up, when Zhang Fei rode his horse and galloped over: "Finished fighting?" ”
"It's over." Speaking of Cai Yang's head lit up in front of Zhang Fei, Guan Yu said: "I thought Cai Yang was so good, but now it seems that it is nothing more than that." ”
"I was going to cut him down, but I didn't expect to die at the hands of my second brother." Zhang Fei said: "My brother is waiting in front, let me tell my second brother that we don't need to chase, we have to get out of here quickly." ”
"The enemy army broke and fled, don't you chase it?" Guan Yu asked.
"Where can I take care of them?" Zhang Fei said: "The eldest brother said that all the prisoners will be buried alive, and those who run away don't need to chase after them." ”
"Buried alive?" Guan Yu was stunned: "I just said that anyone who puts down his blade can live." ”
"The second brother spared them, but I didn't spare them." Zhang Fei said: "Please ask the second brother to catch up with the elder brother first, and leave it to me here." ”
Guan Yu was still a little hesitant, and Zhang Fei urged: "What is the second brother still doing in a daze?" Could it be that you still have affection for the Cao family? ”
In the face of Zhang Fei's questioning, Guan Yu didn't have much to say, so he had to leave with his soldiers and horses.
Looking at the captured Cao Jun, Zhang Fei shouted to his soldiers: "Dig a pit and bury all these people!" ”
"General Guan promised not to kill us......" Zhang Fei's order was issued, and the prisoners were immediately in chaos.
Glaring at him, Zhang Fei roared: "My second brother agreed, but I didn't agree!" ”
Cai Yang was ambushed by Guan Yu when he was chasing Liu Bei.
Some of the soldiers who fled in all directions fled in the direction from which Cao Shuo came.
Led the army to enter the territory of Runan, and a cavalry rode over.
When they arrived at Cao Shuo, the cavalry said: "Prince Qiyu, Cai Yang's troops were defeated and killed, and his soldiers and horses have been scattered. ”
"Where did you get the news?" Cao Shuo asked.
"There are escaped soldiers who have been met by us, and they will be brought back to Xiang Gongzi later." The cavalry replied.
"Childe." Lu Bu came to Cao Shuo's side and whispered: "I have also heard of Cai Yang, his martial arts can't be said to be very good, and it is not easy for Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to kill him." I think he must have fallen into Liu Bei's trap before he ended up like this. ”
"Liu Bei has been in the world for so many years, although he can't be regarded as a good soldier, but he is not completely incapable." Cao Shuo said: "Cai Yang was killed, and the responsibility for defeating Liu Bei fell on our heads. ”
"I'm willing to lead my army." Lu Bu said: "You must bring Liu Bei's head for the son." ”
"Of course, it's best if General Lu can go." Cao Shuo said: "I'll give you one more person, as long as the general listens to his strategy, he will definitely be able to capture Liu Bei." ”
Lu Bu didn't say anything, just looked at Cao Shuo silently.
Cao Shuo shouted to the back: "Yuan Zhi!" ”
Xu Shu stepped forward and asked, "What do you have to tell the son?" ”
"Cai Yang was killed by Liu Bei." Cao Shuo said: "If you don't give a head-on blow, Liu Bei will definitely be even more arrogant, General Lu is the vanguard, you accompany him to go, you must wipe out Liu Bei!" ”
"Don't worry, Childe." Xu Shu said: "I already have a way to kill Liu Bei. ”
Cao Shuo said to Lu Bu again: "General Lu, please charge into battle, you must listen to Yuan Zhi's strategy when strategizing." ”
"I will." Lu Bu responded, and then beckoned Xu Shu and two thousand soldiers and horses to go to Runan first.
Looking at their departing backs, Zhao Yun asked, "Gongzi really believes that Xu Yuanzhi can defeat Liu Bei?" ”
"Of course he can." Cao Shuo said: "The same two thousand soldiers and horses, two thousand soldiers under my command and the two thousand people brought by Cai Yang are not the same. Xu Yuanzhi is good at strategizing, and General Lu is a fierce general on the battlefield, so where will Liu Bei be their opponent. ”
"Childe is so sure, the army will continue to move forward?" Zhao Yun asked again.
"Forward, of course." Cao Shuo said: "Although we know that it will be useless to go, but we are just cleaning up the battlefield, but we still have to make a show, so that my father thinks that we are working very hard, and we are doing our best to defeat Liu Bei." ”
"Childe means that since you send troops, even if it is very easy to fight, you must pretend to be difficult." Sima Yi said: "Often, the more difficult the battle, even if you don't win in the end, you will be rewarded. On the other hand, if the battle is too easy, even if it is a big victory, I am afraid that it will not benefit us much. ”
"It's still Zhongda who can see it." Cao Shuo grinned, and then said to Sima Yi: "My words can be said in front, no matter how difficult or easy your battle is in the future, I just want the result." There is a reward for winning, and nothing good for losing! ”
"Childe is shrewd, how dare we play these in front of Childe." Sima Yi hurriedly said with a smile.
"Pass the order down, speed up." Cao Shuo said: "If it is possible, I hope that Liu Bei can be killed in Runan to prevent future troubles!" ”
Sima Yi and Xu Shu led the troops to take the first step.
After walking for more than ten miles, twenty or thirty people came in front.
Most of them were very embarrassed Cao army routs, and they were accompanied by five or six brightly armored Cao army cavalry.
Of course, the cavalry was Cao Shuo's subordinates, and those who were in a mess were the defeated Cai Yang's subordinates.
When he arrived, Sima Yi asked, "What's the matter?" ”
"General Qiqi Sima." A cavalryman replied: "They are all subordinates of General Cai Yang, and they were scattered by Liu Bei on the battlefield." ”
"You can meet it here, and it seems that there are a lot of runners." Sima Yi asked a rout, "How did Cai Yang die?" How many of you escaped? ”
