84_84334Seeing the rapid rout of the army, Sima Yi couldn't help but curse in his heart: "Cao Hong, this idiot, is really a mud that can't support the wall." If according to my meaning, the army retreats immediately, this army will definitely not be completely defeated like now, and as long as we can restrain military discipline and maintain a good formation, we can form a certain resistance force, forcing Liu Qi not to dare to pursue, so that the defeat is in a controllable range, but now that the army is defeated, Liu Qi will definitely take the opportunity to chase and kill, I am afraid that with this big victory, Liu Qi will definitely chase all the way to the outside of Luoyang City. We're completely finished this time. ”

Although he was furious in his heart, Sima Yi did not dare to stay at all, immediately turned back his horse, led the army to flee the battlefield under the escort of his own soldiers, and then rushed out of the city.

Although Cao Hong is brave, he knows that in the case of the rout of the army, he is not able to turn the tide with the strength of one person, and there are so many fierce generals under Liu Qi's account, if he dares to pause slightly, it is estimated that he will definitely die like his cousin Cao Ren.

Therefore, Cao Hong almost did not hesitate, and immediately led his personal followers and fled with Sima Yi.

Although the Chu army was fierce, Cao Hong and Sima Yi were in the rear of the army at that time, and there were still a large number of Wei soldiers between them and the young army, and they were able to calmly escape from the battlefield under the cover of their soldiers and then walk towards the western city wall.

Fortunately, after the catapult stormed during the day, the wall was broken, and before it could be repaired, Sima Yi and Cao Hong came to a gap, and fought hard to kill the Chu soldiers at the gap, and after throwing dozens of corpses, they galloped wildly and fled directly in the direction of Luoyang.

And the Wei army, which has no main general, is now fleeing in all directions like headless flies. Without the slightest fighting spirit, they naturally became the targets of the Chu army's slaughter, only to hear the sound of swords and guns entering the flesh continuously, and the Wei army, who had no fighting spirit at all, screamed and died.

"We surrender, we are willing to surrender." I don't know who shouted in the chaos. Then I saw many sergeants throwing their weapons on the ground and raising their hands in surrender.

With such a beginning, the soldiers of the Wei army, who had long lost their fighting spirit, immediately followed suit, all abandoned their weapons in their hands, and raised their hands to surrender.

Liu Qi ordered the general of the army to lead the army to accept the surrender of the enemy army and be responsible for guarding Yangzhai, but he himself led Lü Meng, Meng Huo, Sha Moke and his own soldiers. Non-stop pursuit of Cao Hong and Sima Yi who fled.

Although Cao Hong and Sima Yi fled relatively quickly, and at the same time used their own rout as cover, it was expected that Liu Qi would be difficult to catch up even if he was the most taboo at full speed, but he did not dare to take it lightly, and led more than 200 personal soldiers under his command to run wildly. Even when he encountered some small county towns under the rule of the Wei army, he did not dare to stay for a moment, and he actually ran a hundred miles overnight.

"Let's rest for a while, use some dry food, drink some water, and then go immediately." Sima Yi is a civil servant, although he is young, but he has run a hundred miles on a horse, and he is naturally sleepy and tired, but his mind remains clear enough. So this time, there was a prelude to the first and then the prelude, and the order was issued directly to everyone.

But Cao Hong was a little bitter, and said dissatisfiedly: "Zhongda." There's something wrong with that, right? Everyone is tired to death, we don't have a good rest, where will we have enough strength to continue on the road? Why don't we rest a little longer and leave in two hours......"

But he didn't expect Sima Yi to categorically cut off his words, and said sharply: "No, if everyone wants to live." We have to go as I said, even faster than I said. General Zilian, you suffered Liu Qi's loss in the Battle of Anzhong, how do you not know that the soldiers under his command are the best at rapid marching. If we all slow down a little, we may be caught up by the Chu army, if we want to rest, we can rest after Luoyang, otherwise, you will wait to become the sword of the Chu army. ”

After finishing speaking, Sima Yi didn't care about his image at all, swallowed the dry food with difficulty, and poured a large mouthful of water at the same time.

Cao Hong was a little disdainful of Sima Yi's image of eating and drinking regardless of his image, and secretly thought: "Although this Sima Yi is very talented, but compared to my brother Mengde, it is not a little bit worse. But Sima Zhongda couldn't do it, eating and drinking while talking, and he didn't have any self-cultivation at all. ”

Due to the disdain in his heart, Cao Hong couldn't help but defend Sima Yi's words just now, and said loudly: "But we still have 20,000 defeated soldiers delaying behind, and if Liu Qi wants to purge them, it will take at least half the night, right?" Coupled with the recruitment of the people and the stability of the order, how can you do it well without ten days and a half months? If they do a good job of this and then send troops, I'm afraid we will already be prepared in Luoyang. Besides, even if Liu Qi set off immediately after dawn, it would be a hundred miles away from us, and we only need to go another hundred miles to Luoyang, and Liu Qi would not be able to catch up with us no matter what. ”

But Sima Yi didn't care about Cao Hong being the main general in the army at this time, and said loudly: "Our soldiers have long lost their fighting spirit, and sometimes I am afraid that they will surrender without hesitation as long as they only need a word from the other party, and Liu Qi only needs to divide a general to recruit troops and guard Yang Zhai, he will definitely not let go of such a good opportunity to chase us to Luoyang, if the general hesitates again, I am afraid that we will all become prisoners of the enemy." ”

As soon as Sima Yi's words were finished, as if to confirm his words, he heard the two horsemen rushing behind him, and a soldier gasped and said: "General, military division, the big thing is not good, the Chu army sent someone to catch up, less than ten miles away from us." ”

"Huh? What the? Hearing the news from the sergeant, Cao Hong couldn't help but feel a shock in his heart, and he didn't care about being tired anymore, so he immediately jumped up, got on his horse and led the team to escape.

Sima Yi got on the horse slowly, looking at Cao Hong, who was desperately whipping the horses, and couldn't help but feel a little disdainful in his heart.

"If it weren't for bringing this waste to the battlefield, there would have been a hundred ways to return to Luoyang, and at least a few thousand troops could be brought back, but this guy is really not enough to succeed, more than defeat, if it weren't for him, how could my 20,000 troops be dispersed so quickly? If it weren't for him making his own decisions, not listening to my advice, and wasting such a long time arguing in vain, I'm afraid we would have already run ten miles away, but fortunately, I ate a few mouthfuls of dry food and drank a few sips of water while resting, and recovered a little strength, Cao Hong, you idiot, hehe, you deserve it. ”

Because Cao Hong pulled his hind legs, they were almost caught up by Liu Qi, if it wasn't for the fact that he left a few spies before and detected the enemy's situation, I am afraid that he would have been caught up by the enemy army, and this grievance could not come out, so he naturally wanted to laugh at Cao Hong once.

And Cao Hong is indeed very remorseful now, he used to see Sima Yi eating and drinking not elegant at all, and he still had some disdain in his heart, but now he is full of envy, because Sima Yi eats and drinks to supplement some body, but he is through guò A quarrel consumed the body, and the guide himself was more miserable than before he heard it.

But in order to save his life, he didn't dare to stop at all, but he smiled bitterly in his heart: "Why don't I listen to Sima Zhongda's Jianyì, but quarrel with him endlessly?" As a result, the director didn't even drink a sip of water. This time I finally tasted the bitter fruit, right? Alas, if you knew this was the case, why bother wow. ”

At this time, Cao Hong had already secretly decided that no matter what time he was going to listen to Sima Yi in the future, he must not have half a doubt, if he did this today, he would definitely not be like this.

Cao Hong did what he said, he no longer dared to have the slightest suspicion of Sima Yi along the way, with Sima Yi galloping on horseback, although he was already tired and out of breath, but he did not dare to have the slightest delay, along the way, the wind was loud, the grass and trees were all soldiers, and he actually entered Luoyang City before dark.

After entering the city, Cao Hong did not pause at all, and immediately ordered the Luoyang City Gate to be closed, and then ordered Li You, the captain of the city gate, to dispatch soldiers to prepare to defend the city, and then hurriedly entered the Prime Minister's Mansion to see Cao Cao.

"What?" After hearing the news that Yang Zhai was lost and Cao Hong and Sima Yi fled all the way to Luoyang, Cao Cao couldn't help but be shaken all over his body, and his face became pale.

"Zhongda, what's going on? This king solemnly entrusted Yang Zhai to you, why did he suffer such a big defeat? "If it weren't for the fact that Sima Yi was the most trusted and relied on advisor under his command, maybe Cao Cao would have killed him on the spot, Rao is so, his current face is also extremely cold, I believe that as long as Sima Yi does not deal with it well, his life is also very worried.

Sima Yi told Cao Cao what happened very calmly, neither shirking the responsibility to Cao Hong, nor taking the initiative to take responsibility, of course, Cao Hong even made a faint move in it, and he also told him about the heavy losses of his own side.

Cao Cao couldn't help but be silent for a long time when he heard this, and finally asked in surprise: "Didn't Zhongda know until the end how Liu Qi'er saw through your plan to sneak attack him?" ”

Sima Yi sighed and arched his hand and said, "Weichen is ashamed, I really don't know. ”

Cao Cao nodded, comforted Sima Yi a few words, let him go down, and then shouted: "Cao Hong, what do you say you should be guilty of?" ”

When Cao Hong heard this, he immediately said in horror: "The last general did not listen to the moderation of joining the army, resulting in this defeat, he is really ashamed of his trust in the lord, the lord is willing to fight and kill, and the last general will never complain." ”

"Okay, since that's the case, then don't blame this king for being unkind, come here, drag Cao Hong down and behead." Cao Cao's face exuded murderous aura, and he said coldly. (To be continued).
