Chapter 284: Cao Cao escapes

"Bang!"

There was a thunderclap of gold and iron, and the steel gun in Han Wen's hand blocked Xu Chu's big knife, bursting out with a dazzling spark.

Both of them were shocked, and even the people and horses retreated.

After all, Han Wen was young, and he was not as strong as Xu Chu, but he took seven or eight steps back, and Xu Chu only took three or four steps back, and then picked up the big knife and rushed forward.

Seeing this, Cao Ying's heart moved, and he was about to leave. But he didn't expect that Han Wen's adjutant general had been staring at him early in the morning, and when he saw him make a move, with a wave of his hand, there were thousands of heavy infantry, divided into two, bypassing the battlefield on both sides and outflanking him.

"Capture Cao Mengde alive!"

Seeing this, Xu Chu was in a hurry, and hurriedly forced Han Wen to retreat, and was about to retreat and help Cao Ying. However, Han asked how could he let him leave so easily? At that moment, he shook his wrist, and the hundred steel spears in his hands turned into a dragon, entangled Xu Chu and couldn't get rid of it.

Cao Ying's rout along the way, only Xu Chu can handle it, like Xun Yu, he has no power to restrain the chicken, and when he encounters a heavy infantry like a wolf and a tiger, he can only be captured. But don't forget, Cao Ying himself is not a simple character.

At this time, at a critical juncture, Cao Ying shook the sword on his waist, only to see a bright and dazzling light across the sky, and two or three heavy infantry were killed by a sword!

Han Wen entangled Xu Chu and fought around, staring at Cao Ying at the same time, seeing this, he couldn't help frowning.

I didn't expect Cao Ying to be so powerful, the sword light was so fast and so powerful that even Han Wen felt cold!

"Cao Mengde, don't tie your hands yet, why don't you serve my army with immortal arts!?"

Han Wen's heart turned and blurted out.

When Cao Ying heard this, his hand shook and he hesitated.

Seeing that the heavy infantry was about to come up, Xun You was in a hurry on the side, and Cao Ying was also restrained, and it seemed that he was about to be taken.

Suddenly, a cannon rang out, and a loud shout came from not far away.

"Big brother, don't worry, Cao Hong is here!"

Before the words fell, he saw a large army coming from the diagonal area, like moths to the fire, just looking at the heavy infantry and crashing into it. Such a sacrifice of life and death was really effective, and in a moment, the heavy infantry had just formed an encirclement and tore apart!

"Let's go! Big brother! ”

Cao Hong looked like a mad tiger, roaring sharply, and at the same time leading his men to resist the heavy infantry counterattack.

Seeing this, Cao Ying knew that the opportunity could not be lost, but he was worried about Cao Hong, so he blurted out: "Zilian, come with me!" ”

"There can be no Cao Hong in the world, but there can't be no Cao Hong!" Cao Hong turned his head suddenly, shouted violently, overturned the two heavy infantry, and said, "Big brother, go quickly!" ”

Cao Ying's heart was ruthless, he shook his head violently, and walked hurriedly with Xun Yu along the passage opened by Cao Hong.

Seeing this, Han Wen was in a hurry, blocked Xu Chu with a shot, and shouted: "The whole army is pressing, don't let Cao Mengde go!" ”

Cao Ying and Xun You left in a hurry, only bringing more than ten personal guards, and they didn't choose the road until it was dark, and they slowly stopped.

"Where is this?"

Cao Ying's beard was scattered, the crown of his head had disappeared for some time, the cracks on his lips were mended, and his face was very pale.

Xun You was even more unbearable, but he finally persevered and never fainted. He looked around and said uncertainly, "It should be in the territory of Chenliu." ”

"Chen Liu" Cao Ying pondered for a moment: "Presumably, there should be no ambushes." ”

As soon as the words fell, he heard the exclamation of the guards on his side, and couldn't help but look up, only to see a long line of torches in the distance, dotted with stars, afraid that there would be tens of thousands of horses, coming straight to this side.

Cao Ying was shocked, and hurriedly said, "Quick, hide!" ”

More than a dozen people were panicked, and finally found a secret place and hid it.

Gradually, the army got closer and closer, and Cao Ying and the others all held their breath and watched without blinking.

"Huh?"

Cao Ying's martial arts are extraordinary, his eyes are the brightest, and then the faint light of the torch shows at a glance that the army is not dressed as the Youzhou army, and then takes a closer look, but he sees that the first general is Li Dian who he left in Jingzhou.

"Hahaha" Cao Ying was overjoyed, and actually laughed out loud: "Heaven will not kill me!" Heaven will not kill me! ”

Then, Cao Ying and others walked out of the hiding place, recognized Li Dian, and let the army camp was completed, so that he finally survived.

In the big tent, Li Dian heard that Puyang was lost, and Cao Ying was almost captured in a big defeat, and almost fell to the ground in shock. After hearing that Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Xu Chu and others were broken, the Xiahou brothers were still stationed in Dayozawa, and they couldn't help but feel very anxious.

In the current situation, Cao Ying is almost completely defeated, and his strength has shrunk by more than half. Especially a military general, almost all killed! At this time, except for Li Dian, who had just arrived from Jingzhou, Cao Ying had no generals at all.

Moreover, after repeated battles, the losses of troops, grain and grass were serious, and it is still unknown whether it can turn over in the fierce pursuit of the Youzhou army.

Xun You said calmly: "Puyang has fallen, and Baimajin has fallen. Youzhou's hundreds of thousands of troops have penetrated deep into Yanzhou. Regardless of Chenliu, or even Runan further south, there is no favorable terrain that can stop its progress! Moreover, our army suffered heavy losses in this battle, and nearly 200,000 people were almost wiped out. Therefore, the only plan for today is to first find a place to settle down, and then step up contact with General Xiahou to keep the 70,000 army as much as possible! ”

Cao Ying bowed his head and said, "What do you suggest?" ”

"Tiger Prison!"

It is said that Zhao Yun chased all the way and rushed to Wating, and met Han Wen, who had just captured Cao Hong and Xu Chu, and immediately asked, "What about Cao Ying?" ”

"Ran!"

Han Wen looked ashamed.

Zhao Yun frowned and said, "Why is this?" ”

So Han Wen informed Zhao Yun of the scene at that time, and Zhao Yun pondered for a long time and said: "It's been a long time, it seems that it is unlikely to hold Cao Mengde this time." After that, let the prisoners be escorted, and then they returned to the army and returned to Puyang.

When he arrived in Puyang and placed a group of prisoners, Zhao Yun immediately went to see Lu Yi.

In the hall, Zhao Yun, Lu Yi, and Xi Zhicai sat opposite each other.

"Cao Mengde ran away?" Xi Zhicai looked at Zhao Yun's expression and said with a smile: "It's not a big deal." If a prince like Cao Mengde didn't even have this bit of luck, he would have died a long time ago. It is said that if he can escape the first year of junior high school, he can't escape the fifteenth, and sooner or later he will fall into the hands of the general. ”

Zhao Yun nodded and said, "Cao Ying ran away, don't talk about it first." What should we do now? ”

Koji Yi smiled: "Naturally, Yanzhou will be cleaned up." ”

Xi Zhicai nodded and said: "The 70,000 army of the Xiahou brothers must be dreaming of luring our army into the palace now, I'm afraid I don't know the situation here." We'll just take care of it and catch it all! ”

"Not bad." Lu Yi said: "Cao Baojun is in Shouzhang, Tai Shici is in Kang's father, and just received a tip from Pan Wushuang, Dingtao has also been taken at night. In this way, our army is surrounded on three sides, and the Xiahou brothers are like birds in a cage! ”

"As it is"

The three of them glanced at each other and said, "Attack Juye tonight!" ”

When Liyi captured Puyang and prepared to encircle and annihilate the army of the Xiahou brothers, Yan Liang also took an army of 50,000 and hurried to Linzi in the starry night.

Tian Feng welcomed Yan Liang into the house, laughed and said, "I'm waiting for General Yan to come!" ”

Yan Liang was not polite to Tian Feng, picked up the tea bowl and drank it all, and said, "Yuan Hao, please give an order!" ”

Tian Feng smiled slightly, and said: "I just received the battle report from General Liyi, Puyang was broken, and Baimajin was also taken, Cao Ying suffered heavy losses and fled by himself." Now that more than 100,000 troops in Xuzhou have surrendered, the entire Xuzhou is already empty, and it is the best time to take Xuzhou. General Yan, Xuzhou, I'll leave it to you! ”

"Haha, good!"

Yan Liang laughed loudly and said, "In this way, when my army rests overnight, I will go south early tomorrow morning and take Xuzhou for the lord!" ”

Bishui Pass.

Gao Gan, as Yuan Shao's nephew, plus some ability, was reused. In the previous day, because of the large-scale movement of the Youzhou army, Yuan Shao was quite uneasy, so he recalled the Zhangjaw of the Bishui Pass guard to Luoyang, and transferred the senior cadres to guard the Bishui Pass.

That night, Gao Gan was about to fall asleep, when he suddenly heard a report from the soldiers, saying that someone in the pass had asked to see him.

Gao Gan frowned, and was about to refuse, when suddenly his thoughts changed and he said, "Who is it?" ”

"It's the sacrificial wine of the military division under Cao Ying, Xun You."

"Xun You?!"

Gao Gan's expression was solemn, he stood up, walked back and forth for a moment, and said, "Please let him in." ”

After a while, Xun Yu arrived, gave a salute first, and said, "But General Zhangjaw in person?" ”

The light of the oil lamp was so weak that Xun You didn't see the person in front of him clearly.

When Gao Gan heard this, he frowned, and he was very unhappy in his heart, but he said: "I am the guard of Bishui, Gao Gan!" ”

"Oh! It turned out to be General Gao! Xun You secretly called him unlucky, and hurriedly remedied: "I often heard that General Gao was reused by General Yuan, and now it seems that this is the case!" Even such a heavy place as Bishui Pass must be handed over to General Gao to guard! ”

When Gao Gan heard this, his heart was much more relaxed, and he said, "Where did Lord Xun come from?" ”

Xun You groaned slightly, raised his head, stared at Gao Gan with blazing eyes, and said, "I'll tell General Gao that your life is on the line!" ”

"Huh?!"

Gao Gan stood up violently, stared at Xun You fiercely, and said, "You dare to insult me?" If you don't say one, two, three, I will make your head fall to the ground today! ”

Xun Yu took a moment and said, "General Gao, do you know that my Puyang has fallen?!" ”

"What?!"

Gao Gan just sat down, stood up suddenly, looked incredulous, and said, "Puyang has fallen!?" That's impossible! ”

"It did fall." Xun You looked helpless and said: "The Youzhou army is too strong, we can't stop it, and my lord was almost captured!" ”

When Gao Gan heard this, he was shocked again.

Who is Cao Ying? Killed Yuan Shu and Liu Biao, and was relied on by Yuan Shao as his lifelong enemy. Unexpectedly, with Cao Ying's ability, he lost Puyang, the gateway to the north of Yanzhou, in an instant! How's that going!?

Yanzhou is lost, if Cao Ying retreats south, then Si Li will bear the brunt. Gao Gan's heart turned, and he understood the priority of the matter.

"The Youzhou army of tens of thousands has penetrated deep into Yanzhou." Xun You said: "At this time of critical survival, the lord of my family thinks that only by forming an alliance and becoming one, relying on the danger of the pass, it is possible to block the Youzhou army!" However, the envoy sent to Luoyang at this time had not yet heard back, so the lord asked Xun to come and discuss major matters with the general, and first set an expedient plan. ”

"What is expediency?!" High arterial road.

"The general switches, let my army enter the customs. Then our two armies merged into one, gave up like water, and retreated to the tiger prison, which is the best policy! Xun You added: "Only by relying on the Tiger Prison Pass can you block the iron hooves of Youzhou, and you can't do it in Bishui Pass!" ”
