45.Chapter 45 Cao Mengde is under siege

Zhao Yun suddenly stopped talking, and had to admit that what Zhao Yu said made sense, but Zhao Yun still said with some unease: "Big brother, since this is the case, let the third brother go with you, so that there is a same, or Zilong will never agree." ”

Dian Wei hurriedly said on the side: "That's it, big brother, why don't you let me come with you, then I will pretend to be your slave and follow you into Beijing so that I can take care of you, what do you think?" ”

"That's right, husband, you might as well bring the third uncle, so that you can come to Ying with some confidence." Lai Ying'er also persuaded on the side.

In the face of the care of the three people, Zhao Yu's heart suddenly warmed, in order not to let everyone worry about himself, Zhao Yu immediately agreed, and said to Dian Wei: "Well, okay, the third brother will accompany me, but when the time comes, you must follow my arrangement, don't act impulsively, and when you are ready, we can set off." ”

Dian Wei patted his chest and said with interest: "Okay, Dian Wei obeys the arrangement of the eldest brother." ”

After everything was arranged, Zhao Yu and Dian Wei drove their horses in the direction of Chang'an, while Zhao Yun and Lai Ying'er stayed in Chenliu for a while, and according to Zhao Yu's instructions, after the dissolution of the Kwantung Alliance Army, they took refuge in Gongsun Zhan.

Let's say that Dong Zhuo rushed all the way to Chang'an and traveled to Xingyang, where Xingyang Taishou personally went out of the city to greet him, and held a banquet to worship Dong Zhuo.

During the banquet, Li Su offered a plan and said: "Prime Minister, we will abandon Luoyang, then the Kwantung Army will definitely have someone to chase, presumably there will only be a few soldiers and horses, when the performance can be called Xu Taishou to send ambush soldiers to the mountain dock outside Xingyang City, if there are chasing soldiers to chase, you can let go, we will send elite soldiers to the prime minister respectively, to defeat it, Xu Taishou can intercept and kill it all, so that the rest of the pursuers do not dare to attack. ”

As soon as this strategy came out, Dong Zhuo immediately appreciated it, someone can relieve his worries, then he can rest assured and happy, and immediately ordered Lu Bu, Li Dao, and Guo Yan to lead an army to be arranged in the rear of the team, Lu Bu is the rear middle army, Li Dao is the rear left army, Guo Yan is the rear right army, and Xu Rong is a total of four armies.

This arrangement can be described as a precision arming, one is to prevent the pursuing army from bypassing a certain road and the rear army from catching up with Dong Zhuo, and the other is the deployment that seems to be flanking from the front and back, once the battle starts, an encirclement will be formed, so that the pursuers of the Kwantung Alliance will have no return.

After Dong Zhuo was about to hit the road after a while of delicious food and drink in Xingyang, he couldn't wait to rush to Chang'an, after all, although there were heavy guards here, there was still a threat of chasing soldiers from the tiger and wolf division behind him, even if there were beautiful women and delicacies here, Dong Zhuo still felt that his heart was not solid enough, and after abandoning Luoyang, Chang'an was his safe place.

In the early morning of the next day, not long after Dong Zhuo raised his troops and left, Lu Bu broke off with his elite soldiers, and on the quiet official road behind him, from far to near, there were gradually bursts of dense horses' hooves and footsteps, like the sound of pouring heavy rain falling on the ground, striking on people's heartstrings, that kind of sonorous and powerful sound, from the combination of musical instruments, electric guitars and electric basses in the 21st century.

Cao Cao was wearing golden armor, wearing a golden helmet, hanging a red robe, looking so imposing, taking the lead, Xiahou brothers Xiahou Xuan, Xiahou Yuan, as well as Cao Ren, Cao Hong, and many other fierce generals in the world followed closely behind him, and thousands of iron horsemen were also neatly distributed behind his generals.

After a quick journey, I walked into a woodland, with deep branches and lush leaves on both sides, and in this dark moonlight, the wind was like a swaying person, which seemed to make people feel a chill.

Suddenly, a black figure appeared in front of him, blocking the footsteps of Cao Cao and others to catch up, Cao Cao was suddenly shocked, and was just about to open his mouth to shout, how to wait for the black shadow on the opposite side to take the lead in speaking, "Sure enough, as Li Su expected, you and other horsemen also dare to lead troops to chase the prime minister." The voice was strong and powerful, and it seemed that he had been waiting for a long time.

Since the two soldiers met, their respective torches were also lit one after another, Cao Jun saw the enemy general clearly by the light of the moonlight and the light of the torches, and it was the flying general Lu Bu.

In the face of such a god of war, Cao Cao not only did not have a trace of cowardice, but drove his horse forward, pointed at Lu Bu with a horsewhip in his hand and shouted: "Traitor, you help the gang to abuse, rob the Son of Heaven, exile the people, see where you are fleeing, don't you get off the horse and surrender quickly, when will you wait?" ”

Originally, Cao Cao's general insult was to slander the morale of the other party and give himself a measure to raise the morale of a righteous teacher, but Lu Bu was not an idle person, and he didn't look at Cao Cao's army at all, and scolded back: "You coward who betrays the lord, what qualifications do you have to speak wild here, without the Kwantung Coalition Army as your left and right arms, in my Lu Bu's eyes, it is just a mustard." ”

Xiahoudun was suddenly furious, and led his own soldiers and horses to shoot out with guns, and directly took Lu Bu, thinking that Xiahoudun was also a fierce general, although it was far from Lu Bu, but he was still able to insist on walking through several rounds under his men safely.

Cao Cao has always been caring, Bishui Pass and Tiger Prison Pass have always been reluctant to send their own fierce generals to fight, for fear that there will be three long and two short, these fierce generals are their only bargaining chips, and they cannot be lost. Although Xiahoudun knew that Lu Bu was brave, as a general, he thought that he was strong in force and had long wanted to compete with him, but before the two had too many opportunities to fight, he only heard a shout from not far away, and then countless fires broke out, and everyone was shocked.

It turned out that Li Dao led his soldiers and horses to encircle and suppress from the left, and in the face of this ambush of soldiers and horses, Cao Cao was suddenly a little flustered, and hurriedly ordered Xiahou Yuan to lead his troops to meet the enemy. When Xiahou Yuan and Na Li Daogang were engaged together, another shout sounded from the right, and Guo Yan led another team of men and horses to outflank him, although Cao Cao was greatly panicked in his heart, he still calmly ordered Cao Ren to meet the enemy.

Lu Bu, Li Dao, Guo Yan three rounds of soldiers and horses, morale greatly increased, unstoppable, the more brave the more they fought, Xiahoudun and Lu Bu gradually couldn't resist, and they were worried about the safety of Cao Cao and others, and they were flustered and had no intention of fighting, so they left Lu Bu and rode back.

That Lu Bu was in a hurry to kill, and when he saw the duck in his mouth flying, he immediately led his elite iron cavalry to kill him, and Sergeant Cao Cao lost the ability to resist in the face of the killing god Lu Bu, and he collapsed in an instant, and the defeat was already decided.

Cao Cao hurriedly tried to gather the remaining men, and retreated in the direction of Xingyang under the cover of Li Dian, Le Jin and several other loyal people.

It is better to get rid of the entanglement of the pursuers all the way to escape, the sergeants and horses are all exhausted, for the sake of safety, Cao Cao ordered to run for a mile or two to the foot of a mountain to rest, after a night of running, everyone felt a little hungry, and was preparing to burn a fire to cook.

Suddenly, there were shouts around, it was that Xu Rong led the troops to wait for a long time, Cao Cao hurriedly rode his horse and fled, but he didn't know where to flee, but he was bumping into that Xu Rong, and his outfit happened to expose Cao Cao's identity, Cao Cao was so frightened that he turned around and fled, but was shot in the arm by Xu Rong with an arrow.

In order to escape, Cao Cao didn't care about the pain at all, and he didn't have time to break the arrow, so he hurriedly fled with the whole arrow, and just ran to a hillside by several soldiers who had already been ambushed and shot at the horse at the same time, the horse neighed in pain and fell to the ground, Cao Cao also turned over and fell off the horse, and was captured by the soldiers.

Suddenly, a flying horse came, and the knife fell to kill those soldiers, and rescued Cao Cao, Cao Cao hurriedly looked over, it turned out to be his own brother Cao Hong, Cao Cao suddenly sighed in his heart: "I must die here, virtuous brother, you can fight a bloody way with your bravery, and escape." ”

Ignoring Cao Cao's dissuasion, Cao Hong took the war horse and handed the reins of the horse to Cao Cao, knelt down on one knee and said: "Lord, get on the horse quickly, Cao Hong is willing to accompany him on foot." ”

Cao Cao's eyes suddenly turned red, and he hurriedly helped him up and said: "The thieves are coming, the general can't be without horses?" ”

How do you know that Cao Hong handed over the horse to Cao Cao with an iron heart and said: "Lord, there is no Cao Hong today, but you can't do without Cao Gong, get on the horse quickly, Cao Hong is willing to protect each other with death and protect the lord to kill a bloody road." ”

Cao Cao wanted to say something but didn't know how to express it, turned over and got on the horse, Cao Hong took off the armor on his body in order to unload the weight on his body, and ran all the way to follow Cao Cao's footsteps with the blade in his hand, and ran for an hour, only to see a big river in front of him blocking the way, and the shouts of the pursuers behind would also be approaching, and it was impossible to find other roads.

Seeing this, Cao Hong hurriedly took off all the robes and armor on his upper body, regardless of the cold and freezing, and waded on foot with Cao Cao on his back.

Cao Hong supported Cao Cao along the waterfront and walked all the way for dozens of miles, both of them were exhausted, plus Cao Cao and Cao Hong's injuries, Cao Hong all the way to protect Cao Cao, shirtless and wad, had already collapsed and weakened, if it were not for the last breath, he would have fainted to the ground, and the two walked to a dirt hill to rest.

Cao Cao looked at the newborn sunset, and couldn't help but feel that it was good to be alive, and finally escaped, Cao Cao even imagined that when he went back, he would have to eat and drink well, and then wash up and sleep beautifully.

However, before Cao Cao could continue to fantasize, a vicious killing cry nearby pulled Cao Cao back from his fantasy, and Cao Cao saw a large group of fierce men and horses rushing towards him.

It turned out that Xu Rong led the troops to cross the river from the upper reaches to chase over, Cao Cao and Cao Hong had no chance of resistance, they could only support each other to find a way to escape, but how could the two legs run through the four legs, and they were about to be caught up, and suddenly another killing cry sounded, but it was the two brothers Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Tang who led more than ten cavalry to come, Xiahou Yuan saw that Cao Cao and Cao Hong were about to be captured, and said in a hurry: "Xu Rong Xiao'er, Hugh hurt my lord, and have the courage to fight with me Xiahou Xuan." ”
