Chapter 169: Capture the Ugly Text
Wen Chou led more than 1,000 cavalry to chase after Liu Bei alone, and then pursued further, and he was about to reach the territory of Fengqiu. Cao Cao looked left and right, there were not many generals on the left and right, it was not good, it was okay, Guan Yu escorted him!
"Prime Minister Cao, the front is the territory of Fengqiu, I heard that Taozhou Mu is stationed at the border, it is better to dodge first to avoid the ugly edge!"
Xun Yu followed Cao Cao's side and suggested as he ran. Now it is impossible to return to his camp. Because of his generation in Guandu, it is impossible to think that someone will save him, thinking that his soldiers and horses are confronting Yuan Shao's main force.
In the battle of Guandu, Yuan Shao waved the banner of 300,000 troops, but the real strength was as much as 110,000. And Cao Cao also fought with 200,000 troops, but his real strength was only more than 20,000. Cao Cao is not a fool, he can't believe that Tao Ying really won't beat him just by virtue of a non-aggression letter signed with Tao Ying. Therefore, in order to resist Yuan Shao, Cao Cao had to station his troops and horses in Yingchuan to prevent Zhang Xiu and Liu Biao, and had to divide his troops and garrison them in Shanyin County to prevent Shanyang Quan Rou and Liu Xun of Liang State.
It was in the land of Qingzhou, in order to prevent Yuan Shao and Tao Ying from attacking Xudu from the east, Cao Cao had to divide his troops and station them on the edge of Qingzhou to prevent Zang Ba's invasion. So after calculation, being able to gather 20,000 soldiers and horses is already an astronomical amount for Yanzhou.
Xuzhou looked at the soldiers and horses chasing behind him, these thousand cavalry are Yuan Shao's elite troops! So he couldn't touch it, but Cao Cao was still a little afraid of entering Tao Ying's territory. He was afraid that Tao Ying would harm him, and how could he divide his territory equally with Yuan Shao?
So Cao Cao reined in his horse and stopped. Seeing that Cao Cao stopped, Xun You persuaded on the side: "Lord, don't hesitate. It is impossible for Taozhou Mu to harm the lord, if Taozhou Mu wanted to plot against Yanzhou, he would have already sent troops to take the opportunity to attack Xudu. He wants to keep the lord to fight against Yuan Shao in the north, and he can develop on his own, so the lord should go to Fengqiu! ”
After Xun You finished speaking, everyone looked at Cao Cao. Later, Wen Chou's military horse had already been killed, and Xu Huang hurriedly went to meet Wen Chou with a big axe. The two fought together, and after less than 30 rounds, Xu Huang was defeated by Wen Chou and hurriedly retreated. Seeing Wen Chou coming to cover up, Cao Cao hurriedly ran towards Fengqiu.
Outside Fengqiu City, Tao Ying was eating a roasted chicken on the city wall, and while eating, he was studying how to upgrade his cannon. The soldiers of the city busily carried the cannons that Tao Ying had brought from Pengcheng to the city walls, and then moved bows, arrows, ammunition, stones and other things to the city.
Zhuge Liang next to him frowned and was reading the book on electricity written by Tao Ying, as if he couldn't understand it, Zhuge Liang couldn't help but ask Tao Ying a few words next to him. Tao Ying patiently answered him, and next to Zhou Tai was guarding him with a big knife, while the other generals were waiting in the city.
After a while, another fast horse came from outside the city, and the soldiers lowered the drawbridge, and the soldiers hurried to the city, covered in sweat.
"Lord Yuzhou, Prime Minister Cao Cheng was pursued by Wen Chou and asked to come to Fengqiu for refuge!"
"What? Cao Cao also came to me for refuge? ”
Tao Ying was a little curious, the reason why Tao Ying would lead the troops here was because Tao Ying wanted to wait for Cao Cao to defeat Yuan Shao and take the more than 30,000 elite soldiers from Jizhou that Cao Cao wanted to strangle. Unexpectedly, this sad Cao Cao was chased and beaten by Wen Chou as soon as he came up.
"Lord Zhou Mu, let Cao Cao come?"
The soldier was still asking, Tao Ying thought about it, Fengqiu is his own territory, and this Yuan Shao knows. You can't be stupid to pick up Cao Cao, and then let Yuan Shao think that he is Cao Cao's accomplice, and then beat him up with himself!
I don't want to be tied to Cao Cao, but if I don't save him, if Cao Cao is beaten to death by Wen Chou, won't my shield be gone?
So after thinking about it, Tao Ying hurriedly instructed the left and right: "Pass the order, prepare the horse to go to the border!" ”
The soldiers hurriedly blew the horn, and the soldiers and horses were assembled in less than half an hour, so Tao Ying led nearly 5,000 soldiers and horses, and 2,000 cavalry to the border of Fengqiu. The land of Fengqiu is a county, so the place is not very large, but as a subsidiary city of Bianjing City, which is the key construction of Xuzhou City, it has a very large population, and the urbanization construction is particularly fast, so the road construction is also very good.
Therefore, Tao applied less than a stick of incense to kill a town to which Fengqiu belonged. Cao Cao was already waiting there very tiredly next to the town, and seeing that he was about to catch up with Wen Chou, he naturally refused to give up Cao Cao. So when Wen Chou led the tired army to the town, Wen Chou's war horse was also tired and out of breath.
Bypassing the siege of the town, seeing that the town gate was wide open, Cao Cao hurriedly came in to take refuge, and Wen Chou also entered the town. On the main road of the town, Tao Ying rode a horse, and Zhou Tai next to him carried a knife to guard his side. Behind Tao Ying stood a person, tall and mighty, carrying Fang Tian's halberd in his hand, which shocked Cao Cao, who had just entered the town, yes, that person was actually Lu Bu, who was the enemy of 10,000 people!
Cao Cao just wanted to get off the horse and call for help, but Lu Bu had already come out on horseback, carrying Fang Tian's halberd and running towards Wen Chou, who had come in.
Wen Chou entered the city, saw that Lu Bu actually came out of the town, and saw that there was an ambush, Wen Chou hurriedly retreated. But at this time, Zhao Yun and Cao Chun led the Tianwei Army and the Hell Demon Army from outside the town, where could Wen Chou go!
Seeing that it was Lu Bu, Cao Cao hurriedly squeezed to Guan Yu's side, at the critical moment, he had to let Guan Yu protect himself!
There was no way to retreat, Wen Chou hurriedly turned back to fight Lu Bu, and the two fought in the town. Guan Yu protected Cao Cao and wanted to go to the side, but Tao Ying immediately shouted at Cao Cao: "Where is the prime minister?" Since you came to seal the hill with me, why don't you sit down and talk? ”
Seeing that Tao was bound to deal with himself, Cao Cao had to stay.
Although Wen Chou is brave, he is definitely slightly inferior to Jielubu. So the two fought less than forty rounds, and Lu Bu stabbed Wen Chou off the horse with a halberd. Lu Bu returned to his horse and was about to stab Wen Chou to death, but Tao Ying was busy shouting: "Wen Hou will keep people under the knife!" ”
Hearing Tao Ying's shout, Lu Bu withdrew his hand.
The injured Wen Chou looked at Tao Ying on the ground, he had never seen Tao Ying, so he didn't know who he was. Seeing that Wen Chou was captured, the others were surrounded by the Tianwei Army and the Hell Demon Army, and more than a thousand tired cavalry had to surrender. In this battle, Cao Cao actually sent himself a thousand war horses, he is simply a good person!
The soldiers rushed over to tie up Wen Chou, Tao Ying went over to repel the surrounding soldiers, went up and untied the rope on Wen Chou's body with his own hands, and said: "General Wen Chou is frightened! ”
Wen Chou saw that the man was so young and afraid of himself, and thought that he was messing with Yuan Shao, so he hurriedly said to Tao Ying: "I don't know what kind of military horse the general is, why did he help Cao thief?" Help me catch that thief, and I'll recommend you in front of the general one day! ”
