However, Xu Chu's injuries are scary to look at, but they are not fatal.

In the afternoon of the same day, when Cao Cao personally led the army to the Qinglin Ferry, Xu Chu was already able to struggle to get off the ground.

Seeing that Xu Chu had turned into a pig's head, Cao Cao hurriedly asked with concern: "Zhongkang, is it okay if you are injured?" ”

Xu Chu drooped his head and said, "Don't be able to move the five abilities, and look at the west." ”

"Zhongkang, what are you talking about?" After Cao Cao asked, he found that Xu Chu had lost two front teeth, and his speech was leaking.

At that moment, Cao Cao ordered the military doctor to help Xu Chu down to heal his wounds, and then called Cao Xiu to the front and asked, "Wen Lie, you just said that the ferry was once attacked by the Yuan army, did you kill Yuan Xiao'er?" ”

"No, I didn't." Cao Xiu shook his head bitterly and said, "Yuan didn't let his subordinate Gan Ning desperately save him from crossing the river." ”

After a pause, Cao Xiu told Cao Cao the battle on the banks of the Rushui River that he knew from Xu Chu.

Listening to Cao Xiu finish talking about the process of Yuan Fu's escape, Cao Cao couldn't help but stomp his feet and sighed: "It's a pity, it's a pity, it's a pity, it's just a little bit of time, it's just a little bit of time." ”

Behind Cao Cao, the faces of Guo Jiaxunyou and others were not very good-looking.

Hurry up and hurry, after all, let Yuan Nuo slip away, Yuan Nuo's crossing of Rushui means that he temporarily jumped out of the encirclement of the Cao army, and the Cao army wants to trap Yuan Nuo in the net again, but he doesn't know how much it will take, and he doesn't know if he can still do it, because the Cao army on the east bank of Rushui is much weaker, and the Yuan army of Ji Ling and Liang Gang has been active on the east bank of Rushui.

"It's a chess move." Guo Jia sighed and said, "Wow, if I could have thought of this layer an hour earlier." How could Yuan be allowed to escape? ”

Cao Xiu said, "But the lord." Although Yuan did not grasp it. But it also caught two important people. ”

"Oh?" Cao Cao's heart moved when he heard this, and asked, "Who did you catch?" ”

Cao Xiu turned around and shouted, "Bring it up!" ”

At that moment, four Tiger Guards escorted a man and a woman forward.

Cao Cao's gaze immediately fell on the woman, although the woman had messy hair and ragged clothes, and looked very embarrassed, her legs were long and her waist was thin, and her hips were round and her chest was bulging. The figure is excellent, I don't know what it looks like.

At that moment, Cao Cao said: "Little lady, raise your head." ”

The woman didn't hear it, but she didn't pay attention to Cao Cao.

Cao Xiu made a look, and the two tiger guards forcibly held the woman's chin, forcing her to raise her face and face Cao Cao.

After seeing the woman's appearance clearly, Cao Cao's little eyes immediately showed a terrifying gleam, what a beauty! But it is much better looking than the dozens of wives and concubines in his house.

At that moment, Cao Cao asked Cao Xiu: "Wen Lie, who are these two people?" ”

Cao Xiu first stretched out his hand and pointed at the man and said, "This person is the son of the Qiao family of Lujiang, Qiao Jue." ”

"Qiao Jue?" Cao Cao asked in surprise. "Brother Ling is Qiao Mao?"

Qiao Ying stiffened his neck and said proudly, "It's my brother." ”

"So to speak. But after the old man. Cao Cao stroked his palms and laughed.

When the princes of the eighteen towns fought against Dong Zhuo, Qiao Mao was also one of the princes, and Cao Cao was indeed an old man, but later Qiao Mao and Liu Dai fought and died.

At that moment, Cao Cao pointed to the woman and asked Qiao Jue: "This little lady doesn't know who it is?" ”

"This is my sister." Qiao Jue said proudly, "Uncle has promised him to marry Liu Ye as his wife. ”

Qiao Ying was worried that Cao Cao would covet Da Qiao's beauty, so he deliberately pointed out that Da Qiao had promised to marry Liu Ye as his wife.

Unbeknownst to him, after listening to Qiao Di's words, Cao Cao's small eyes became brighter and brighter.

At that moment, Cao Cao instructed Cao Xiu and said: "Wen Lie, don't you hurry up and invite Qiao's son, Mrs. Liu, to rest, listen, you must take care of it carefully, and you must not neglect your guests." ”

Cao Xiu agreed and led Qiao Jue Daqiao away.

After Cao Xiu left, Cao Cao temporarily put away his thoughts, and ordered someone to invite Xun You, Guo Jiajia, and Cheng Yu to the carriage, and asked: "Everyone, has Yuan already crossed the Rushui and jumped out of the encirclement, and now it is useless to say words of regret, you might as well discuss it first, and what should you do next?" ”

Xun You first said: "Although Yuan Nuo was lucky to cross Rushui, but his soldiers were lost, and now there are only more than 100 remnants left around him, just wait for the tiger and leopard cavalry to destroy Yuan Junxiao's cavalry, and then cross Rushui from the original Ludong, you can still attack to the north side, and intercept Yuan Nuo before Yuan Nor Liang Gang Ji Ling's department converges." ”

Cao Cao nodded, and said worriedly: "But I'm worried." ”

Guo Jia said: "The lord is worried that after Yuan is hit hard, he will retreat back to the deep mountains and old forests and become a thief with peace of mind? ”

"Exactly." Cao Cao said worriedly, "If Yuan wants to go north to Jizhou to join Yuan Shao, and instead find a deep mountain and old forest to hide, and after we withdraw our troops, we will come out again to gather his remnants of the defeated generals, and then take advantage of the fact that we are fighting with Lu Bu's army, and the soldiers will be all the capital, but we must not be guarded!" ”

Cao Cao was most afraid of this, which scared him more than letting Yuan Wei go.

Because if Yuan Nuo escapes, the threat is visible, and it will not immediately threaten the safety of Xu Du, but if Yuan Que shrinks in Runan and refuses to move his nest, then the threat is imminent, because Runan is too close to Xu Du, and Yuan Nuo is used to using soldiers, and after he goes on the expedition, Yuan Nuo will take hundreds of bandits to fight Xudu, and Cao Cao will inevitably be frightened.

There is a way that the side of the couch does not allow others to sleep soundly, not to mention that it is still the cunning wolf Yuan Wei who lies on the side of his couch?

Xun You said: "What does the lord mean, let the tiger and leopard ride and stop chasing and killing?" Will Yuan join up with Liang Gang Jiling and let them transfer to Peiguo? And then find a way to encircle and annihilate Yuan Di's army in Peiguo? ”

After a pause, Xun You said again: "I want to remind the lord of the next word, but now Peiguo is empty of troops, although Xiangxian has General Miaocai's 50,000 troops, but these 50,000 troops are used to guard against Lu Bu's army, if General Miaocai's army intercepts and kills Yuan's army, then Lu Bu will inevitably have other thoughts." ”

Cao Cao's gaze turned to Guo Jiajiaxu and Cheng Yu: "Feng Xiaowenhe and Zhongde, what do you think?" ”

Guo Jia said: "I thought that the lord you were too worried, Yuan Wei looked at the ape, and he was definitely not an incompetent person who was willing to stay in Runan to make a wedding dress for others, no matter how difficult it was, he would definitely try to go north to Jizhou." ”

Jia Xu also said: "I agree with what Mr. Feng Xiao said, if you miss the moment, I am afraid that it will be difficult to have a chance to kill Yuan No." ”

Seeing that Xun You, Guo Jia and Jia Xu opposed it in unison, although Cheng Yu did not express his position, his opinion was no longer important, and Cao Cao was also a little hesitant, not knowing whether to send Cao Zhen's tiger and leopard to ride across the river to continue the pursuit.

At this time, neither Cao Cao nor his four major strategists expected that Cao Zhen's tiger and leopard cavalry would suffer a fiasco.

(Dividing Line)

Cao Zhen was so angry that his mouth was crooked.

Growing up so big, Cao Zhen has never met such an opponent in the years he has been in the army.

The damned Yuan Junxiao cavalry, obviously also a cavalryman, never refused to confront his tiger and leopard cavalry head-on, but only repeatedly sent one horizontal team after another, and the bow and arrows were drawn and released from a distance of a hundred paces.

After chasing and fleeing, the two armies were entangled for a day and a night, and the tiger and leopard riders didn't even touch the other party's hair, but instead lost nearly 500 riders under the invasion of the opponent's arrow rain!

Seeing that the remaining more than 1,000 riders were already too tired to work, Cao Zhen's confidence was finally shaken.

If we continue like this, will we all hand over the remaining 1,500 horsemen here? That's it, let's hurry up and withdraw the troops, and wait until we understand the strange tactics of Yuan Junxiao's cavalry, and then come to repay this blood debt.

Thinking of this, Cao Zhen did not hesitate at all, immediately raised his right arm, and shouted sharply: "Order, collect the troops!" ”

Cao Zhen gave an order, and the sound of the golden sound immediately sounded in the rear formation, and the tigers and leopards, who had already reached the end of the crossbow, stopped their horses one after another.

Seeing Cao Jun's tiger and leopard riding Ming Jin to withdraw his troops, a cold smile bloomed on the corner of Tai Shici's mouth.

Finally tired, finally tired? However, at this time, I remembered that Mingjin had withdrawn his troops, but it was a little late.

Almost at the same time as the tiger and leopard cavalry Mingjin collected his troops, Tai Shici also slowly raised his right arm, and in the next moment, the three cavalry teams in front suddenly spread out to both sides, revealing the two cavalry teams behind them that had never participated in the battle, but these two cavalry teams had been recuperating for nearly a day and night
