However, it was said that Zhang Xiu led the defeated cavalry to retreat, and it didn't take long to meet Liu Qi, who was slowly marching into the army, and slowly came to Liu Qi, and said with a guilty face: "Eldest prince, I Zhang Xiu regret not listening to Mr. Wenhe and you, this rash march actually encountered Cao Cao's ambush, and the guide was defeated, and the 10,000 cavalry lost nearly 2,000, which are all the elite cavalry that my uncle brought from Xiliang back then." ”

Liu Qi smiled and said lightly: "Generals don't have to be like this, victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers." Cao Cao is proficient in the art of war, so he must know that our army will lead the army to pursue, and it is not a big deal to set up an ambush in advance. I wonder if the general would be interested in chasing me again? ”

"Huh? What the? Just now Childe persuaded me not to chase, but I didn't listen to Childe's words, and I was defeated, why did Childe persuade me to chase now? Although there are more soldiers and horses under the command of Gongzi, but Cao Thief is powerful and understands the art of war, if we chase it again this time, I am afraid that it will inevitably end in failure. Zhang Xiu glanced at Liu Qi, shook his head and said.

"Hehe, at this time and that time, Cao Cao personally led the army to the palace before, although the general was brave, but he was not his opponent, so it was expected that the general could not win, Cao Gong attacked the general and did not make a mistake, and retreated before his strength was exhausted, but because he heard that Yuan Shao attacked Xu Du and was eager to withdraw, and now that the general has been broken, the light army must advance quickly, even if some generals are left, how can it be the enemy of you and me? What's more, Ben General has already set up an ambush in front, so Ben General expects that as long as we pursue together, this battle will definitely break Cao Gong and relieve the hatred of the general's previous defeated army. ”

Zhang Xiu was suspicious when he heard this, but he still ordered to pursue with Liu Qi's army.

It is said that after Cao Cao broke Zhang Xiu's army, he immediately led Xu Chu and others to the front of the team, urging the army to retreat to Xuchang quickly. After a while, he sighed softly: "It's just a pity that Liu Qi'er was too cautious and didn't break him together, and I feel a little regretful in my heart." Hehe, then Liu Qi led the army to set off from the beginning, and he knew that he was aiding Zhang Xiu, but he was playing the art of war, what kind of noise was he making to attack the west, and hyped it out that it was to conquer Yuan Shu. However, this kid also had two strokes, a rapid march of four hundred miles, and he arrived at Anzhong in three days, and yesterday he also forcibly caused Zhongkang's 3,000 cavalry to lose five or six hundred. ”

When Xu Chu on the side heard this, a trace of shame appeared on his face, and he clenched his fists and said: "It's all the incompetence of the last general, let me destroy so many dead and injured brothers." It's a pity that Wei Yan didn't chase after him today, otherwise he would have beheaded his dog to avenge my dead soldiers. ”

At this moment, a small colonel stepped forward to report: "Prime Minister, something is wrong, General Yu Ban, who escorted the grain and grass yesterday, was not in the front, according to the report of the spies in front, General Yu Ban has not left Anzhong, we suspect that he was ambushed by the enemy."

"What? Who could have been so clever as to know the whereabouts of our army? Could it be that there is a detailed work of the enemy in the army? Give me the order to investigate ...... thoroughly."

Before Cao Cao finished speaking, he suddenly heard the sound of drums behind the battle, and then the war horses galloped, and the sound of killing shook the sky, and even the earth trembled.

"What's going on?" Cao Cao was shocked and hurriedly ordered someone to investigate the news.

Before Cao Cao's order was issued, he heard a general come to report: "Prime Minister, the big thing is not good, Zhang Xiu and Liu Qi led more than 10,000 people to kill again, and our army's rear team was caught off guard, and the loss was strict." ”

Cao Cao's face turned pale, and he ordered: "Xu Chu, gather your forces and go to the rear with me to meet the enemy." ”

"No." Xu Chu immediately agreed, and led his soldiers to rush to the rear.

At this moment, there was another drum beat on both flanks, and then two groups of cavalry appeared from outside the nearby dense forest, rushing towards Cao Cao's army like a tide.

"It's not good, there are ambushes here, everyone leave quickly." Cao Cao broke out in a cold sweat. Immediately ordered Xu Chu and the generals to move forward at full speed, and no longer paid attention to the soldiers behind.

Xu Chu glared fiercely at the general who led the cavalry on the left, and squeezed out two words from between his teeth: "Wei Yan." Then he resolutely turned his head, protected Cao Cao, and fled desperately.

"Kill. Don't let Cao Cao go. Zhang Xiu's heart was to completely subdue Liu Qi, and seeing that the army had really won, he led the cavalry under his command to hit Cao Cao's army formation fiercely, cut the Cao army into two sections, and then slaughtered the Cao army that was surrounded.

Zhang Xiu's marksmanship is clever, coupled with his long strength, he can accurately stab a soldier to death every time, and sometimes he can also send out the effect of continuous stabbing, the tip of the spear shakes, and even two or three soldiers can be killed at a time, and sometimes he is happy, the gun is swept directly, and the spear is used as a club, although the lethality has become low, but the range of damage is significantly expanded.

Liu Qi drew the sword in his waist and stabbed to death a Cao soldier who wanted to hurt him, he could clearly see the pain on the face of the Cao soldier, and also heard the miserable howl of the Cao soldier because he was unwilling to die.

But he knew that he couldn't be soft, although this was the first time he had killed someone in his two lives, he still didn't hesitate to do it, because he knew deep down that this was war, a war of life and death, and he could only kill the other party in order to save his life.

Liu Shi guarded Liu Qi tightly, for fear that he would be hurt by the enemy, and sometimes he was even ready to block the sword for Liu Qi.

This is the duty of a personal soldier, and it is also the most glorious destination of a personal soldier.

Wang Cang and Sima Zhi lost no time in shouting: "Cao Cao has been defeated, surrender and avoid death." At the same time, he ordered the soldiers around him to prepare to accept those Cao soldiers who surrendered.

Pei Qian didn't look like a weak scholar, but like an iron-blooded general, riding his horse and whipping, holding a steel knife, and slashing the enemy soldiers around him.

Wei Yan roared like thunder, and the big knife in his hand launched a burst of cold light, killing the enemy soldiers who dared to approach one by one, and rescuing the soldiers around him who were besieged by the enemy from time to time.

When he saw Cao Cao leaving, Wei Yan took out his bow and arrow, and pointed an arrow in the direction where Cao Cao was. As the so-called bow pulls like a full moon, and the arrow goes like a meteor, the feather arrow soon came to Cao Cao's face, Cao Cao was taken aback, and hurriedly lowered his head to dodge, but saw that the arrow shot directly on the hood, and the crisp sound rang in his ears for a long time.

"Protect the Prime Minister." Xu Chu hurriedly led a team of cavalry to block between Cao Cao and Wei Yan, and then led the remnants of the army to retreat.

Cao Cao's eyes flashed with a hint of appreciation, and he said to himself: "This person named Wei Yan is indeed a rare general, but it's a pity that he is attached to Liu Qi'er." It's a pity, it's a pity. He sighed as he galloped his horse.

The war lasted for nearly half an hour, and this time the Zhang-Liu coalition army can be said to have won a complete victory, killing more than 5,000 Cao troops, capturing more than 3,000 people, harvesting countless weapons and horses, and more importantly, Cao Cao will never dare to underestimate the heroes of Jingzhou in the future.

Zhang Xiu came to Liu Qi with a smile, and arched his hand and said: "Eldest son, this time I Zhang Xiu has completely convinced you, your wisdom, even if it is Mr. Biwen He, I'm afraid I don't want to go up and down, this time our army won a complete victory, thanks to the guidance of Gongzi, I got the assistance of Gongzi in Suixian County, defeated Cao Cao, this kindness, I Zhang Xiu will definitely be rewarded." These materials were captured by the general in this battle, so he gave them to his son, so please do not refuse. ”

Liu Qi said with a smile: "We are all family to each other, so why be so polite? I can't ask for these supplies, because the general needs them to supplement the county for future resistance. ”

Zhang Xiu saw that Liu Qi resolutely did not want to, and what he said was the truth, so he no longer insisted, and ordered his soldiers to escort these materials back to Yuxian County.

At this time, Zhang Xiu saw Wei Yan returning victoriously, so he asked Liu Qi, "I don't know who this general is?" The battle is extremely brave, even the last general is ashamed of himself. ”

Liu Qi smiled and said: "This is Wei Yan, the captain of my tent, who is a native of Yiyang, this person is not only brave, but also proficient in the art of war, and can definitely be called one of the best generals at that time." ”

Zhang Xiu's eyes immediately showed a hint of respect, and he arched his hand at Wei Yan and said, "It turned out to be General Wenchang, and I have admired it for a long time." General Wenchang is brave and invincible, which really opened Zhang's eyes, and he also has to meet the master, and he dares to guarantee that in the future, the general will be able to calm the Quartet with his son and become famous all over the world, and then the general will still need to rely on the general to take care of him. ”

Wei Yan hurriedly returned the salute and said: "The general is polite, the reason why Wei can have today is all due to the cultivation of my general, the general treats me so kindly, I Wei Yan dare not repay me with death?" ”

Liu Qi stepped forward to hold Wei Yan's hand, then grabbed Zhang Xiu and said, "Okay, everyone, this is not the place to talk, let's go back to the army together, this time I want to treat wine and entertain you." ”

Zhang Xiu hugged his fists and said: "If you want to talk about hospitality, it is also Zhang who treats his son, if there is no father and son, I am afraid that Zhang would have died in Huangquan a long time ago, where did he come from today?" Liu Qi naturally couldn't help but be humble again.

Liu Qi and Zhang Xiu rode side by side, chatting happily along the way, unconsciously, the two armies returned to Anzhong, Zhang Xiu insisted that Liu Qi go to the camp for a while, and treat Liu Qi with wine.

Liu Qi saw that it was difficult to resist the enthusiasm, and wanted to see the legendary ghost plot Jia Xu, so he agreed, but said that he was still in a hurry to collect the troops and other matters, and he needed to go until the evening.

Zhang Xiu saw that the other party was reasonable, so he agreed, and after saying goodbye to Liu Qi, he led the army back to the camp with a smile.

At this time, the military advisor Jia Xu had already ordered someone to inquire about the news, and when he heard that Zhang Xiu had returned, he immediately went out of the camp to greet him.

"How did the general go for so long?" Jia Xu bowed slightly to Zhang Xiu and saluted.

Zhang Xiu smiled and said embarrassedly: "This matter is really indescribable. Today, the general will ask the eldest prince Liu Qi to attack the Cao army, the eldest prince did not agree, saying that if I pursue, it will be defeated, the general does not believe it, and forcibly pulls the eldest prince to attack together, because the eldest prince's infantry moves slowly, the general will pull his five hundred cavalry to attack first, but unexpectedly encountered Cao Cao's ambush, defeated and returned. Ben Jiang regretted not listening to the advice of Mr. and the eldest prince at that time, and was ashamed, but unexpectedly, the eldest prince persuaded Ben to pursue again, and Ben Jiang will go out with the eldest prince under suspicion, and really won a big victory, so this back and forth, delayed for a long time. ”

When Jia Xu heard Zhang Xiu's words, he couldn't help but be slightly shocked, and asked, "You said you were chasing Cao Cao again?" This idea was come up with by the eldest prince Liu Qi? ”

"Exactly, is there something wrong?" Zhang Xiu couldn't help but be stunned and asked.

"Naturally, there is nothing wrong, but if this idea is really from the eldest prince Liu Qi, then how terrible should his wisdom be?" A wise light flashed in Jia Xu's eyes, and he said softly.
