The sky was already bright. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The bright sun shone on Nagasaka Slope, but it didn't bring much warmth. The smell of blood that permeates the sky above Nagasaka Slope makes people's hearts throb. And the crying, the shouting, the neighing of the horses, and the thunderous sound of iron hooves, all made people feel endless fear.

A group of Cao troops roared and rushed into the Nagasaka slope in an instant.

Cao Peng rode his horse up to a high hill and looked up, with a sad look on his face.

It stands to reason that he should be happy when Zhang He, Gao Lan, and Wei Yan's soldiers and horses arrived. But for some reason, he didn't feel any joy at all. Tens of thousands of Cao troops poured in, which also meant that Cao Peng could no longer control ...... Previously, he could force the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry not to kill and plunder, because he was the deputy governor of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, the supreme commander under Cao Chun. And now, with the arrival of Zhang He Gaolan and others, he has no reason to restrain the behavior of Zhang He Gaolan and others. Even if he could rely on his relationship with Wei Yan to persuade Wei Yan to restrain his subordinates. But for Zhang He and Gaolan, it is of no use. Moreover, he had no reason to dissuade......

Success and defeat have been the same since ancient times.

Cao Jun traveled hundreds of miles at night, staring at the bleak wind and cold rain, and if he tried to restrain them again, it would be unreasonable.

Cao Peng originally hoped to end this war as soon as possible, but he didn't expect those people, as well as Liu Bei's troops, to obey the teachings.

Now that Cao's army has arrived, they want to regret it, I'm afraid it's too late!

Thinking of this, Cao Peng sighed.

"Pass my orders, sound the horn and three links, and gather the people."

The tiger and leopard ride with their unique signal, a trombone shaped like a bull's horn. This trombone, with its unique sound, is the most sensitive for horses. Generally speaking, as long as the horn sounds, the tiger and leopard riders will know that this is the order of the main general to collect the troops. Whether they want to or not, they must obey orders. The seven prohibitions and fifty-four beheadings in the army are not decorations, and if they are violated, they will have to fall to the ground.

A long horn sounded, echoing over Nagasaka Slope.

The vigorous, melodious voice muffled the shouting and killing, and soon reached the ears of the tiger and leopard riders.

The tiger and leopard cavalry immediately began to gather their troops and horses and assemble towards Cao Peng's location. At the same time, Gao Ran's troops arrived under Gao Gang, but seeing this Gao Lan urging the horse to go straight to Gao Gang, he came to Cao Peng, and bowed his hand on the horse, "Governor, why did you withdraw your troops and stop moving?" ”

Gao Ran and Cao Peng are no strangers to each other.

even said that there was still a little embarrassment between the two......

During the Battle of Guandu, Gao Ran failed in a sneak attack on Cao Ying in Yanjin, and was ambushed by Cao Peng in Shili Camp and captured alive.

This also made Gao Ran instinctively in a weak position when he saw Cao Peng, and he was a little reluctant to meet. However, in the midst of the chaos, how could he avoid it? Zhang He pursued from another way, while Wei Yan needed to bypass the interior and cross the Han River from the Zhangshan Ferry to cut off Liu Bei's path. This also made Gao Ran the first to arrive at Changban Slope and join forces with Cao Peng. Since Guandu, except for the previous meeting outside Xiangyang City, the two have never met again. This also makes his tone inevitably stiff.

If Zhang He was here, he would definitely not speak like this.

Because Gao Ran's words were questioning......

Although Zhang He was also a general, he was captured first, and then surrendered. But the nature is different from Gao Ran, Zhang He was captured by Gan Ning.

In addition, Zhang He and Cao Peng have such a relationship, so when they speak, they pay a lot more attention to it.

Cao Peng couldn't help frowning when he heard Gao Ran's words.

"General Gao, the tiger and leopard cavalry pursued overnight, and then entered the battle, and it has been four hours so far, and the water and rice have not entered.

Now that you have arrived, I should gather my troops and rest. Moreover, the situation on the slope of Nagasaka has been brought under control, and there is no need for the tiger and leopard riders to continue to sort. ”

You're not kind to me, and I don't need to be polite to you.

I have already defeated Liu Bei, and now the situation in Changbanpo does not need my tiger and leopard to ride at all, so I will leave it to you to solve it.

Gao Dian listened to it, and his heart was unhappy.

But he couldn't help Cao Peng, because in terms of rank, Cao Peng was a head above him.

It's just that the two are not in the same system, so neither will meddle in each other's affairs. It's just that Cao Peng's arrogant tone made Gao Ran very annoyed. He didn't want to talk to Cao Peng anymore, so he arched his hand and said in a deep voice: "Since this is the case, Gao will leave......

"Don't send it!"

Cao Peng didn't even bother to move his hands, just nodded slightly.

Gao Ran angrily rushed down the hill, and immediately issued an order: clean up the wreckage of Changsaka Slope, and if you encounter resistance, you will be killed.

This command means that you are at your discretion.

The so-called resistance is only in one mind.

You say they resisted, and that was resistance; You say they didn't resist, and no one can say anything.

Cao Peng raised his eyes and looked over, only to see a team of Cao troops entering the Changban Slope...... Nagasaka Slope, which had already calmed down, suddenly became chaotic.

At this time, the tiger and leopard riders had slowly converged in the direction of Gaogang.

Cao Peng ordered two captives to inquire about Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang's whereabouts.

I heard that on this Changban slope, it is just Liu Bei's cannon fodder, and Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang led the elite, who have crossed the Dangyang Bridge and are approaching Jiangling. Cao Peng thought about it for a moment and decided to continue pursuing Liu Bei. For Cao Peng, Liu Bei is his current worst enemy. If Liu Bei can be killed, it will mean that the three-legged situation no longer exists, and the war between the Three Kingdoms that lasted for a hundred years will also disappear.

Thinking of this, Cao Peng ordered someone to count the soldiers and horses.

After a night of chaotic fighting, the tiger and leopard cavalry also suffered considerable losses.

The Tiger Rider lost nearly 200 men, while the Leopard Rider lost more than 300 men...... Cao Peng's flying camel soldiers were also killed or wounded between two or three hundred.

In other words, in this night, he lost nearly a thousand people.

Seeing such a huge loss, Cao Peng couldn't help but gasp.

"Why didn't Ling Ming come back?"

It stands to reason that when the horn sounds, Pound should come back.

But most of the tiger and leopard riders have returned, and the 500 leopard riders under Pound's department have not been heard from so far.

Cao Peng couldn't help frowning, and was about to send out to find it. At this time, Zhang He led his troops and arrived at Changbanpo...... heard about the contradiction between him and Cao Peng from Gao Guan's mouth, and Zhang He also smiled helplessly. Gao Ran, with an offending mouth! But if you want to offend people, you should also see the object clearly. That Cao Peng is one of the people Cao Cao relies on the most, why do you offend him if you have nothing to do?

So, Zhang He immediately came to visit Cao Peng.

Cao Peng naturally couldn't do anything but see it, and after talking with Zhang He for a while, he said in a deep voice: "I have no grudge with General Gao, but I just got the news that Liu Bei's soldiers and horses have crossed the Dangyang Bridge and are heading towards Jiangling. Wen Chang's department, and now he has not crossed the Han River, I am afraid that he will not be able to stop Liu Bei. On the Jiangling side, although I sent men, my troops were weak and may not be able to withstand Liu Bei's attack...... Here, I will hand it over to Jun Yi for the time being, and I will go after Liu Bei myself, so as not to let the big-eared thief escape...... The lord is bound to win the big-eared thief. ”

When Zhang He heard this, he immediately became nervous.

"Youxue, I still have two thousand cavalry under my command, and I will hand them over to you to command."

"Very good!"

Cao Peng is worried about the lack of troops, and Zhang He's two thousand cavalry troops are tantamount to sending charcoal in the snow.

He thanked Zhang He, and then ordered someone to light the soldiers and horses. But at this moment, a small school suddenly came and whispered a few words in Cao Peng's ear.

Cao Peng was stunned, and a strange smile immediately appeared on his face.

"You let General Pang take care of it, and I'll send someone to receive it."

"Youxue, what's going on?"

"Nothing, it's just ...... Hehe, Junyi should quickly support General Gao. ”

Cao Peng's face was unfathomable, which made Zhang He feel a little inexplicable. However, Cao Peng was reluctant to say, and Zhang He was not easy to ask. I had no choice but to say goodbye to Cao Peng and lead the troops away.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

On the slope of Changsaka, with the addition of more than 10,000 Cao troops, it became even more chaotic.

Zhao Yun was ruthless, abandoned the more than 100 people, and took Mrs. Gan to the direction of Dangyang Bridge. At this time, Cao's army had just entered the Changban slope, and the tiger and leopard cavalry was retreating. So along the way, he didn't encounter much resistance, Zhao Yun protected Mrs. Gan and passed smoothly all the way.

Ahead, a troop of men and horses arrived.

The person at the head is none other than Lu Zhu.

From a distance, Elfang saw Zhao Yun.

It's just that Zhao Yun at this moment has no previous demeanor and looks embarrassed. The battle robes made of white brocade had turned blood-red and tattered. And the clothes and armor on his body were even more bloodstained, obviously caused by an extremely tragic fight.

"Zilong, have you found Madame?"

Elk Zhu shouted loudly.

In his heart, he hoped that Zhao Yun would find Mrs. Elk, after all, it was his compatriot sister.

Unfortunately, Zhao Yun replied, "Mr. Zizhong, Mrs. Gan is here. ”

Is it Mrs. Gan?

Lu Zhu was startled and hurriedly urged forward.

When Mrs. Gan saw Lu Zhu, she couldn't help crying loudly, "If it weren't for Zilong to save me, I would have died." ”

"Madame Hugh should panic, the three generals are at the head of Dangyang Bridge, please Madame follow me and go quickly."

"Where's Uncle Huang?"

"Uncle Huang has gone to Jiangling, and before leaving, he told the three generals that if the lady returns, he will go to Jiangling immediately to meet."

Lu Zhu was sure that Liu Bei would never say such a thing. For Liu Bei, his wife is like clothes, and his fierce generals are like siblings...... If the clothes are old, they can be changed, but if the hands and feet are broken, it will be difficult to connect them. Lu Zhu once attached great importance to Liu Bei's righteousness. But as he grew older, he knew very well that if he didn't have Mrs. Elk, he would be afraid that it would be difficult for him to survive the future days of Elk Zizhong......

You don't see, since Xiang Lang's father and son were attached, Liu Bei has paid more and more attention to Jingxiang's trilogy.

And he and Elfang were gradually alienated a lot. In this regard, although Lu Zhu didn't say anything, he still had resentment in his heart.

Especially after Lu Fang was captured in Wancheng, his life and death were unknown.

Liu Bei never asked, on the surface, he still valued Lu Zhu, but in private, he secretly weakened his power.

Seeing that it was not Mrs. Elk, Lu Zhu was also a little anxious, "Where are the other two ladies and the son?" ”

said that it was two ladies, but Zhao Yun knew that Elk Zhu was asking his sister, Mrs. Elk. Zhao Yun smiled bitterly, "Madame and I know that Mrs. Elk is holding her son in her arms, and she was lost in the chaos, and now she is still in Changbanpo." I wanted to ask the eldest lady to go back and look for it on Nagasaka Slope. If you don't want to meet Zizhong, ask Zizhong to take your wife away, and I will go back, and I will never give up if I don't find my wife and son. ”

But Lu Zhu took a cool breath.

"Zilong, I heard that the Cao army has arrived?"

"When I came back, I heard that there were reinforcements from the Gao Ran Department...... However, I didn't encounter it along the way. The cavalry under Cao Peng's command seems to be gathering, and I am worried that they will continue to pursue the lord, and I ask Mr. Zizhong to remind the third general to be more careful. ”

"I'll save it!"

Lu Zhu hesitated for a moment, and said expectantly: "Zilong, take care." ”

"Farewell!"

Zhao Yun turned his horse's head and was about to leave...... He was stopped by Moose Zhu again.

Lu Zhu allocated three hundred cavalry troops and handed them to Zhao Yun, "Cao's army is powerful, you have to be more careful, if you can't do anything...... Return early. ”

"Zizhong, take care."

Zhao Yun nodded, led three hundred cavalry, and headed in the direction of Changban Slope.

Lu Zhu sighed, urged the horse to come to Mrs. Gan's horse, and said in a low voice: "Madam, let's go, the third general is still waiting for news." ”

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Returning to Nagasaka again, the situation is very different.

Cao soldiers can be seen everywhere, but compared to the tiger and leopard cavalry encountered before, these Cao troops are obviously much weaker. Zhao Yun led the trilogy and killed the generals all the way. Everywhere he passed, Cao Jun was killed so that people turned on their backs, and blood flowed like rivers. In just a few miles, Zhao Yun picked up his sword and slashed, killing more than ten Cao generals. However, as he went deeper into the Nagasaka Slope, the number of Cao Jun became larger and larger, and it became more and more difficult to find the whereabouts of Lady Elk and the others. More than half of the 300 cavalry accompanying him were killed or wounded.

Zhao Yun couldn't help but feel a little anxious......

This Changban slope is more than 20 miles from north to south, and more than 10 miles from east to west. Speaking of the area, the area is not very large, but trying to find someone is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

There are fewer and fewer followers around me.

But Cao Jun was like a tide, constantly surging from all directions.

Zhao Yun urged the horse to dance the gun, fought a bloody way in the chaotic army, and saw that there was a mound in front of him, so he hurriedly rode his horse away and rushed up......

At this time, it was almost noon.

The sun shines!

raised his eyes and looked around, but saw the banner of Cao Jun everywhere.

Zhao Yun hesitated for a moment, his gaze was due north...... There were the largest number of refugees, and Cao Jun also had the largest number of people. Perhaps, the lady and the son were among the refugees, Zhao Yun gritted his teeth and made up his mind. However, if you look due north, the risk factor will increase significantly. Not to mention that Cao Bing's reinforcements have arrived, Cao Peng, his troops, and the terrifying cavalry army are all there. Zhao Yun thought that he could take Cao Peng's life...... But if you add the combat power of the tiger and leopard ride, you will be like a moth to a fire.

But no matter what, he had to kill it!

"Brothers, further on, like the tiger's den in Longtan, it is extremely vicious.

If you brothers want to retreat, it is still too late to leave at this time, and Yun will never complain. If you go with me, the cloud can't guarantee everyone's safety, you decide for yourself, I'll go! ”

Zhao Yun didn't wait for his entourage to answer, then jumped on his horse with his gun and rushed down the hill.

A follower, you look at me, I look at you...... A moment later, dozens of horsemen chased out, following Zhao Yun into the enemy army. But more people are afraid. After glancing at each other, they all walked south. When it comes to critical times, let's take care of each other! These many people are Jingxiang people, and their sense of belonging to Liu Bei is not very strong. It is enough to accompany Liu Bei to kill here! If you know that there is a dead end ahead, and you still want to follow the past, it is definitely a bad brain. When the people retreated, they immediately scattered in all directions......

Zhao Yun didn't know that those people had escaped from the battle and committed suicide into the chaos army.

Facing each other, three Cao soldiers urged forward and blocked the way. Zhao Yun was not afraid and twisted his gun...... The four horses circled, but in three or two rounds, three Cao generals were picked and killed under the horses. Zhao Yun rushed inside to kill, and when he encountered a fleeing refugee, he stepped forward to ask.

"See, Madame?"

"Has anyone seen Madame......"

At this moment, a team of Cao Jun suddenly came out from the side.

He is the first general, with a golden helmet and golden armor, a crotch and a spear.

"Thief, leave...... It's here! ”

Zhao Yun was not verbose, and immediately rode forward to meet him. Gao Ran took the part and patrolled the Nagasaka slope...... I don't want to meet Zhao Yun.

From a distance, he saw Zhao Yun rampage through the chaotic army, and he suddenly became angry.

suffered a lot of anger from Cao Peng, and Gao Ran was not happy. So the leading soldiers stopped Zhao Yun and wanted to kill Zhao Yun in the formation. Who knows, this Zhao Yun is also holding back the fire in his belly. Mrs. Jiuxun is nowhere to be seen, and her heart is already on fire. Gao Ran blocked the way, which made Zhao Yun very angry. He stepped forward, and a gentian gun was in his hand, as if he had life, and the shadow of the gun was longing.

After more than ten rounds of fighting with Gao Ran, Zhao Yun also secretly admired.

This man is skilled in guns and horses, but he is a good opponent......

However, the more this is the case, the more murderous he becomes. When the second horse staggered, Zhao Yun suddenly freed up one hand, pulled out the Shocking Sword, and slashed at Gao Ran with his backhand. Gao Ran was killed by Zhao Yun and was embarrassed. Where would you expect Zhao Yun to have the trick of holding a sword in this gun? One couldn't dodge, and was slashed down by Zhao Yun's sword, and most of his arm was split by Zhao Yunsheng......

Gao Ran screamed, and the body fell off the horse.

For a time, Cao's army was in chaos.

Zhao Yun took advantage of the situation to break out of the encirclement and continued to go due north.

Behind him, there was not a single retinue to follow.

"Old man, have you seen Madame?"

On the way, Zhao Yun stopped an old man and asked about the whereabouts of Mrs. Elk and the others.

The old man obviously recognized Zhao Yun, and when he heard this, he was stunned, and blurted out, "General Zilong, which lady are you asking?" ”

Zhao Yun was overjoyed in his heart, and hurriedly said, "Old man, do you know the whereabouts of Madame?" ”

"Before dawn I saw Lady Elk resting by a dry well. But later, there were a lot of Cao Jun over there, so I didn't know whether he was alive or dead...... Mrs. Xiang saw it just now. Together with her father and brother, she withdrew to the southwest, but now she does not know the situation. ”

Lady Elk?

Mrs. Xiang?

Two wives, two sons......

Zhao Yun felt a little embarrassed!

The direction of the old man's fingers is clearly two directions.

Who should I save?

Zhao Yun changed his mind, the old man saw Mrs. Elk before dawn, and at that time, the reinforcements of the Cao army had not yet arrived. Now that Cao's reinforcements have arrived, Mrs. Elk may not stay there. Even if he searched now, he might not be able to find any trace of the elk lady.

Let's save Mrs. Xiang first!

Thinking of this, Zhao Yun asked the old man to find a place to hide, and then followed the direction of the old man's finger and rode the horse.

Within a few miles, I heard a burst of shouts and killings from the front. Zhao Yun was in a hurry, and immediately whipped up, and rushed towards the place where the shouting and killing sound came from.

A sparse forest, surrounded by Cao's army.

Several Cao generals were commanding their troops and horses to launch an attack inside.

It can be seen that the person in the sparse forest is a person who understands the art of war...... Although the number of people is not too much, it is quite orderly and stops Cao Jun outside.

Under the big hand, a Cao will straddle the horse.

He jumped off his horse, was nine feet tall, and had large shoulders and a round waist.

The palm was heavy, and the dragon bird ring was bright, and the knife edge was stained with blood.

This guy is the chief general of the Cao Army!

After Zhao Yun saw the target clearly, he suddenly urged the horse forward, and shouted loudly: "General Hugh should be panicked, Zhao Yunlai is also ......."

It was too late, but it was fast, and the white dragon horse carried Zhao Yun like an arrow from the string, and broke into the enemy.
