Chapter 421: The Cao Family's Thousand Miles of Horses
The battle in Tobu City continued, but outside the city became different, because of the conversation between Zhang Xiang and Chu Cao Cao, it became much quieter, "You Cao Cao won't really think that I will let you go because of this!" ”
Cao Cao: "Of course not, if you can let me go, then you are not Zhang Xiang, you and I have a relationship, your wife is my younger brother and sister, your children are my sons and nephews, I don't want to hurt them, what I want is very simple, if you withdraw today, Han Xin will disappear."

Originally, Zhang Xiang had already made up his mind to give it a go, because Zhang Xiang couldn't retreat from this kind of clearness, if Cao Cao kept his promise, it would be fine, but I was afraid that Cao Cao would backtrack, and Cao Cao had countless lies in his life.
Zhang Xiang really didn't dare to believe him, so Zhang Xiang would rather die than take a step back, but at this time, Guo Jia said a few words in Zhang Xiang's ear, and Zhang Xiang looked at Guo Jia with surprised eyes.
In the end, he changed his decision, put down the drumstick in his hand, and directly ordered Mingjin to withdraw the troops, although Zhang Fei and others were puzzled, but they could not disobey the military order, and slowly withdrew from the city.
Cao Cao did not order the pursuit, at this time Cao Cao did not want to let the stupid actions below arouse Zhang Xiang's remorse, once Zhang Xiang was sending troops, Dongwu City would be in danger, as for his own safety Cao Cao was not worried.
This is also a kind of confidence in Cao Cao's self-esteem, he has experienced too many things in his life, he dared to assassinate Dong Zhuo alone before, this time he has so many soldiers by his side, there is nothing to fear.
When Zhang Fei and the others came out, they learned that Zhang Xiang's family was threatened by Cao Cao, and it was inconvenient for the generals to say anything.
Zhang Xiang didn't say a word, he retreated with the army, Cao Cao watched Zhang Xiang take people away, and felt really thrilling, if it weren't for Zhang Xiang's heavy family affection, it would be really difficult to do it today.
Cao Cao ordered someone to block the West City Gate, and now he has to do it first, Zhang Xiang has Zhang Xiang's eyeliner, Cao Cao naturally also has his eyeliner, he knows that he will arrive at noon the next day from the main army.
This kind of passive beating days are finally coming to an end, but while Cao Cao was waiting, he gave another order, that is, to publicize the matter of Zhang Xiang's fiefdom and accept the baptism of everyone.
Cao Cao believed that the people of the world loyal to the Han family should be very interested, but as for his threat to Zhang Xiang with his family, Cao Cao felt that it was harmless, and at most it was just a private loss.
But Zhang Xiang was very wrong in terms of right and wrong, as soon as the news of Zhang Xiang's fiefdom came out, it immediately caused a big wave of propaganda, and that reaction was faster than the time when the main force of Cao Jun arrived.
Zhang Xiang didn't care what the world said, and when he said the fiefdom, he thought of this day, although those who opposed it were huge, but there were no people who could threaten Zhang Xiang.
Zhang Xiang is now concerned about the main force of Cao Jun, Cao Cao can get the news, of course Zhang Xiang can also, Zhang Xiang must teach Cao Cao a lesson, in order to vent the hatred in his heart, and by the way, seek justice for his family.
In the morning, Cao Ren led his troops to approach Tobu, and he could already see the city of Tobu from a distance, and the blood on the city wall was very dazzling, and Cao Ren knew that the battle situation must be very tragic.
Cao Ren suddenly regretted that he was going to entangle with Zhang Xiang, and in the end Zhang Xiang didn't catch it, and he made himself a commotion, and he also delayed a lot of time, just when Cao Ren was thinking about it, Zhang Xiang's army also poured in.
In the field battle on the plains, Zhang Xiang's army was not afraid of anyone, yesterday fell short, and the generals held their breath? Although Zhang Xiang, the main force of the Cao army, did not have an advantage in numbers, he had a strong advantage in cavalry.
Nearly eighty percent of the world's horse-producing land is in Zhang Xiang's hands, Zhang Xiang wants cavalry is simply a matter of easy reach, of course, on the battlefield to develop their strengths and avoid weaknesses, not to mention that the cavalry is so powerful.
No need to use in vain, because of the fierce offensive of Zhang Xiang's cavalry, Cao Ren had to adopt a defensive position, Cao Ren used troops to attack and defend, and there was no difference between strength and weakness between offense and defense, so Cao Cao would appoint him as the commander.
Cao Ren knew very well that in the face of such a large number of cavalry, he could not fight hard, he could only defend the center and lead the attack, and the battle on Cao Ren's side was soon known to Cao Cao, and Cao Cao naturally could not sit idly by.
Cao Cao immediately ordered Xiahou Yuan and Cao Xiu to lead troops to rescue Cao Ren, and only by working together inside and outside could Zhang Xiang's attack be broken, Cao Cao originally planned to let Xu Chu play, but Xu Chu was not lightly injured in yesterday's battle.
Although Xu Chu kept saying that he was fine, Cao Cao was still not at ease, after all, Xu Chu was covered with gauze all over his body, Xiahou Yuan and Cao Xiu were both cavalry generals, and Cao Cao sent all the cavalry in the city out.
Soon after Cao's cavalry left the city, they were about to enter the battlefield, and they were surrounded by Zhang Xiang's people who had been ambushed in advance.
The real target was the reinforcements that came out of the city, and Zhang Xiang, the main force of the Cao army, was not sure to eat it in one bite, but this time Zhang Xiang didn't want to let Xiahou Yuan go, and it was Long Ben who surrounded Xiahou Yuan.
Whether it is in the use of cavalry or in martial arts, Long Ben is a head higher than Xiahou Yuan, and as soon as Long Ben fights Xiahou Yuan here, Cao Cao knows that he has been fooled, but Cao Cao can't send troops out.
There are no cavalry in the city anymore, if the foot soldiers are sent out, then Dongwu City will not be protected, not to mention that the foot soldiers go out to send them to death, and Cao Cao will not do anything in vain, so he can only wait for the result.
Cao Ren found out about the battle not far away, and naturally ordered his soldiers to move closer in that direction, and Xiahou Yuan also fought in Cao Ren's direction, he knew that there were only two ways to escape.
Either move forward and Cao Ren, or go back to the city to get closer to Cao Cao, Xiahou Yuan can't afford to lose this person backwards, so Xiahou Yuan chose to move forward, not to mention that the distance between him and Cao Ren is closer than Cao Cao's.
Xiahou Yuan can't afford to be reluctant to go far, the more Xiahou Yuan advances, the greater the pressure he has to bear, Zhang Xiang's main force in front is besieging Cao Ren, and Xiahou Yuan is close to Cao Ren.
Naturally, he was also besieged by Zhang Xiang's army, so he will only get more and more difficult, not more and more easy, the battlefield is cruel, this is the same for the soldiers and generals, and the generals have to be given special care.
In the end, Xiahou Yuan finally met Long Ben, Long Ben's horse lance made him a little overwhelmed, Cao Ren could already see Xiahou Yuan, although he couldn't see Xiahou Yuan's appearance clearly, but with the familiarity between Cao Ren and Xiahou Yuan.
It is still possible to know the situation of Xiahou Yuan, so Cao Ren also sent his own cavalry to the rescue, this person is of course Xiahou Yuan, Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Yuan are brothers, and it is more appropriate for him to go.
Xiahoudun is violent, the most disdainful is the person who attacks his brother, Xiahoudun desperately advances, maybe it is luck, Zhang Fei is not in the direction of Xiahoudun's attack, and it is really not so easy for other generals to stop Xiahouyuan.
Long Ben also noticed the movement behind him, he didn't allow the cooked duck to fly like this, he received a death order, he must kill the generals who came out of the city, so Long Ben could not afford to lose.
Long Ben began to work hard, Long Ben and Zhang Fei belong to the same kind of explosive generals, otherwise the two would not be able to communicate often, Long Ben is crazy and even Zhang Fei has to be careful, Zhang Fei can still be contained when he is crazy.
But Long Ben is crazy, then it is really the six relatives who don't recognize it, these things Long Ben's relatives and soldiers know, so they all subconsciously dodge, if the pond fish dies in the hands of their own people, it will be really aggrieved.
Xiahou Yuan was already tending to be downwind, and he couldn't parry it immediately as soon as Long Ben was crazy, but fortunately, Cao Xiu came to the rescue at this time, which alleviated Xiahou Yuan's decline, but Xiahou Yuan stopped Zhou Cang.
Zhang Xiang has been watching the battlefield, naturally he will not let Xiahou Yuan succeed, Cao Xiu made a bold decision in order to save Xiahou Yuan, he suddenly slashed at Xiahou Yuan's war horse.
The war horse ran forward desperately, but Xiahou Yuan escaped Long Ben's interception, Xiahou Yuan ran away, and Long Ben could only deal with Cao Xiu, after all, Cao Xiu's armor was different from ordinary generals.
Xiahou Yuan's run is a foregone conclusion, Long Ben can only take Cao Xiu to deal with him, Cao Xiu's martial arts are not even as good as Xiahou Yuan, how can it be Long Ben's opponent, Zhang Xiang gave a death order.
So Long Ben did not relent, and in the end Cao Xiu died under Long Ben's horse lance, and Long Ben lifted Cao Xiu's body high, just to let Xiahou Yuan see it, as long as he angered Xiahou Yuan.
Long Ben only had the opportunity to make a difference, and now Long Ben still wants Xiahou Yuan to come back, but unfortunately at this time, Xiahou Yuan has already joined forces with Xiahou Yuan, and Xiahou Yuan will never be impulsive.
Xiahou Yuan killed it, which means that a gap has been opened, at this time, of course, the overall situation must be the priority, as for Cao Xiu's death, Xiahou Yuan can only keep it in mind, Cao Ren saw the opportunity and ordered the army to rush and kill.
It can be said that Cao Xiu's death was not in vain, at least it paved the way for Cao Jun, and it can be regarded as a well-deserved death, and it did not live up to the name of the Cao family, and the return of Cao Jun to the city has been unstoppable.
Killing a Cao Xiu is just a sweetness for Zhang Xiang, but Zhang Xiang will not know that he can't do it, Zhang Xiang ordered to give way and let Cao Jun pass.
As for Cao Xiu's corpse, Zhang Xiang also sent his subordinates back, Cao Xiu is Cao Cao's most valued nephew, and the name of Qianli Ju comes from his mouth, Cao Cao still remembers when he was crusading against Dong Zhuo, Cao Xiu came to defect.
Heroic, Cao Xiu's appearance has not changed now, and he is very peaceful after he dies, not so much dead, but more like sleeping, looking very satisfied, Cao Cao wiped the blood on Cao Xiu's face with his own hands, and the deceased can only be buried thickly.
Cao Cao didn't blame Zhang Xiang, the success of the king and the defeat of Kou naturally had to go through this, Cao Cao knew that Cao Xiu was just the beginning, before the war ended, there would only be more deaths, Cao Cao already had such preparations. (To be continued.) )
