Green Bull Pass.

Tai Shici led more than 4,000 elite infantry and more than 1,000 light cavalry just arrived, and he saw from a distance that the abandoned barracks on the pass were actually crowded, crowded with black pressure Xiliang soldiers, at this time the Xiliang soldiers were carrying rolling wood and stones, repairing the abandoned barracks of the Wu army, and hundreds of archers were forming a team in front of the pass, posing to block the Wu army.

Tai Shici's heart sank when he saw this!

There is no doubt that this group of Xiliang soldiers should be the group of Xiliang iron cavalry that disappeared in the Dabie Mountain, it seems that Pan Zhang's three thousand Shanyue elite soldiers failed to clean up this group of Xiliang soldiers in the mountains, so that they ran to the Qingniu Pass by mistake! This mistake made Tai Shici's more than 5,000 elite soldiers fall into the predicament of being attacked on their backs.

There are nearly 10,000 Cao troops and Xiliang iron cavalry chasing and killing in the back, and Ma Chao's Xiliang soldiers are emerging in front, it can be said that there are chasing soldiers in the back, and there are interceptions in front, how can this battle be fought?

"Herald!" Tai Shi Ci took a deep breath, slowly raised the spear in his hand, and howled up to the sky, "The whole army stopped advancing, and they were cutting down trees and setting up camp!" ”

The safest countermeasure at the moment is naturally to camp and hold on!

Otherwise, if it is difficult to attack the pass urgently, and the chasing soldiers behind him arrive, and they are intercepted by the Cao army and the Liang army before and after, the more than 4,000 troops under Tai Shici will collapse and rush into the mountains like wild beasts! Only set up camps, hold on to the spot, and then wait for the arrival of follow-up reinforcements, or wait until Sun Ce and Zhou Yu come to preside over the overall situation.

After all, this is the junction of Lujiang and Runan counties, in order to intercept the Son of Heaven and attack Huainan, the armies of the Jiangdong counties are gathering in the area of Lujiang Shu County, as long as they can hold on for ten days and half a month, the lord and the military division can personally lead the army to respond!

Tai Shici gave an order, and more than 5,000 elite soldiers of the Wu army quickly cut down trees and began to set up camp.

Tai Shici's more than 5,000 elite soldiers did not immediately attack, and Pan Zhang was busy looking for Lang Zhong to treat Zhou Yu, and he didn't care about attacking the Xiliang soldiers on the Qingniu Pass for the time being, which gave Ma Chao's remaining more than 700 Liangzhou soldiers a precious respite, and Fa Zheng personally commanded the soldiers to strengthen the camp and repair the defensive facilities.

At this time, at the entrance of the official road of "Qingniu Pass-Gepo", Xu Chuzheng led the Xiliang Iron Cavalry to launch an overwhelming sprint against the five hundred Wu army light cavalry who were in charge of the break!

"Killing hammer, hahaha~~"

"Horn!"

Xu Chu raised his head to the sky and howled, the heavy wolf's tooth hammer whistled through the air, and a Wu army cavalry lieutenant bore the brunt of the attack, and was hit in the head by the wolf's tooth hammer, only to hear the crisp sound of the horn, the head of the Wu army cavalry captain and the iron helmet were smashed apart, and the brain and blood splashed everywhere, turning into a blood mist in the sky.

"Iron Cavalry Battalion - Kill!"

Xu Chu led the wolf's tooth hammer in his hand forward, and the three thousand Xiliang iron cavalry suddenly surged forward, like a monstrous wave rolling towards the five hundred Wu army light cavalry, although the time was pressing, the soldiers of the iron cavalry battalion did not even have time to put on heavy armor, but to deal with these hundreds of Wu army light cavalry, even if they were only wearing soft armor, they were already slaughtering chickens.

Whether it was training, fighting spirit or horsepower, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry had the advantage, and soon, the five hundred light cavalry were completely overwhelmed by the dark waves of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry.

Cao Hong, Cao Zhen, and Yu Ban rode horses to watch the battle from afar, the eyes of the three of them were full of strange solemnity, the powerful lethality displayed by the Xiliang Iron Cavalry made them feel heavy, in the face of such a fierce enemy, they didn't know if Cao Jun had a chance to win?

"Uncle Hong!" Cao Zhen looked back at Cao Hong, and said quietly, "The lethality of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry is getting stronger and stronger, although these hundreds of Wu Army light cavalry are at a disadvantage in terms of strength, equipment, morale, and training are not as good as the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, but even if it is a few hundred pigs for the Xiliang soldiers to kill, they should be killed for half an hour, right?" But in fact, with only one meal, these hundreds of Wu army light cavalry were all wiped out, not defeated, but destroyed! ”

"Not bad!" Yu Ban nodded solemnly, and then said, "If the last general is not mistaken, all these hundreds of Wu army light cavalry were killed, and none of them escaped the pursuit of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry!" The intentions of the horse butcher are extremely sinister, the horse dealers in Guanzhong sell to the Central Plains and Jiangdong are all bantam horses, but the cavalry team used by them are all high-headed horses, which makes the cavalry in Guanzhong already have an absolute advantage before fighting! ”

Cao Hong waved the long knife in his hand hatefully, and said angrily: "Then what can be done?" At present, the Western Regions, Liangzhou and Mobei, which produce good horses, are all under the control of the horse butcher, and although Bingzhou and Youzhou also produce horses, the horses produced in these two places are all Hun bantams. ”

Cao Zhen said: "Before completely defeating the Wu army, we must think of a way to deal with the Xiliang Iron Cavalry in advance, otherwise even if the Wu army is defeated, the Son of Heaven, the hundred officials and the prime minister's family will inevitably fall into the hands of the Liang army, if you can't welcome the Son of Heaven back to Xu Du this time, the consequences will be unimaginable!" ”

[Cao Zhen and they didn't know that Xuchang had been surrounded by the Liang army and had become an isolated city. ]

Yu Bandao: "The tiger hurts people, and people also have the heart of a tiger, although Xu Chu is a reckless man, but his deputy general Chen Zhi is not easy to deal with, and now he can only take one step at a time, fortunately, the Wu army is our common enemy, before the Wu army is destroyed, we and the Liang army will not fight first." ”

Just this kung fu, Xu Chu's Xiliang Iron Cavalry has already defeated the broken Wu Army's light cavalry, and chased down the official road like a tide, Cao Hong saw the situation and hurriedly said to Cao Zhen and Yu Ban: "Zidan, Wen Ze, now that the Xiliang Iron Cavalry has chased down, we should almost leave!" ”

Xiliang Iron Cavalry and Cao Army's infantry chased south along the official road and soon found Tai Shici's army, at this time the Wu army was cutting down trees and setting up camp, Xu Chu didn't want to think about it, instinctively wanted to attack, but was stopped by Chen Zhi in time: "General can't, at this time the mountain road is narrow, the cavalry can not be deployed at all, if you rashly attack, it is likely to be defeated by the enemy." ”

Xu Chu didn't listen, and led three hundred iron cavalry to attack, and was really defeated by the Wu army, and the three hundred iron cavalry were also lost by nearly half, Xu Chu believed Chen Zhi's words, and he was also stuck on the mountain road to cut down trees, ready to set up camp! Later, the follow-up Cao army saw that the Liang army was camped, so they also set up three smaller camps on the mountain road, and the three camps were distributed in a linear pattern, and Cao Zhen, Cao Hong, and Yu Ban each guarded a camp.

As a result, the situation on the Qingniu Pass Mountain Road cannot be described as chaotic!

The southernmost is Pan Zhang's 3,000 Shanyue soldiers, then Ma Chao's more than 700 Xiliang iron cavalry, then Tai Shici's more than 5,000 elite Wu troops, then Xu Chu's 3,000 Xiliang iron cavalry, and then more than 5,000 elite Cao troops led by Cao Hong, Cao Zhen, and Yu Ban, and finally there are more than 3,000 elite Wu troops left at the crossings of mountain roads outside the mountain.

Among them, although the Wu army was divided into three parts, it occupied an absolute advantage in strength, with a total strength of more than 10,000 people, the strength of the Cao army was more than 5,000 people, the Liangzhou army had the least troops, and the sum of Ma Chao and Xu Chu was less than 4,000 people, but they were all Xiliang iron cavalry with strong combat effectiveness.

Among them, the situation faced by the more than 700 Xiliang Iron Cavalry in Ma Chao's department is the most sinister!

These more than 700 Western Liang soldiers not only had to divide their troops to protect the Son of Heaven and 100 officials, but also faced the north-south flank attack of more than 5,000 cavalry infantry of Tai Shici and Pan Zhang's 3,000 Shanyue infantry.

……

Outside the pass, Pan Zhang's army is in the middle.

The partial general Zhu Ran (not Zhu Huan, Zhu Huan, along with Chen Wu, Ling Ying, Cheng Pu, and Dong Xian, were all killed by Ma Chao in the Battle of Xingyang) rushed into Pan Zhang's military tent with an excited expression and shouted: "General, there is help!" The Metropolitan Governor has been saved, hahaha, the Metropolitan Governor has been saved!! ”

"Huh?" Pan Zhang, who was helpless, raised his head sharply and asked, "Zhu Ran, what did you say?" ”

Zhu Ran took a deep breath, tried his best to calm down, and said to Pan Zhang: "General, the last general led people to visit Langzhong in the nearby mountains, and he didn't want to meet a person in Daze, it was actually Hua Tuo, the world's divine doctor!" The Metropolitan Governor is really fateful, if it weren't for the Hua Shen Doctor passing by here for collecting medicine, this time it would be really mysterious. ”

Pan Zhang hurriedly said: "Where is Doctor Huashen?" ”

Zhu Ran said: "Then it will arrive, and the last general is afraid that the general is worried, so he will come to report quickly." ”

"Let's go, go with General Ben to greet Doctor Hua." Pan Zhang stopped as soon as he took a step, and said to Zhu Ran, "Oh yes, there's one more thing." ”

Zhu Ran said: "What's the matter? ”

Pan Zhang said: "The scout who has just lurked on the mountain has reported, General Taishi's army has rushed to the north end of the Qingniu Pass, but General Taishi's army is followed by two other armies, a Xiliang Iron Cavalry and a Cao Army infantry, and now the situation in this area is extremely complicated, and it is really not for you and me to deal with!" ”

Zhu Ran said: "What the general said is extremely true. ”

Pan Zhang said: "I plan to send a fast horse back to Lujiang to report the funeral to the lord, and at the same time implore the lord to send another general to preside over the overall situation, what do you think of Yifeng (Zhu Ran's expression)?" ”

Zhu Ran said: "The general is wise, and it should be so." ”

Pan Zhang said: "Then this matter will be handled by Yifeng, and don't forget to send someone to bypass the pass from the cliff and get in touch with General Taishi!" ”

"The last general commands."

Zhu Ran agreed and took the order.

……

Green Bull Pass, Horse Super Big Tent.

Han De excitedly rushed into the big tent and said to Ma Chao: "Major General, the reinforcements have arrived, our reinforcements have arrived!" ”

"Oh?"

Ma Chao and Fa Zheng stood up at the same time and asked urgently, "Reinforcements have arrived?" ”

"Hmm!" Han De nodded heavily and said, "Just outside the pass, judging from the banner, it should be General Xu Chu's iron cavalry, but there are thousands of Wu troops in the middle, so there is no way to rush over and join our army." ”

"Let's go!" Ma Chao turned his head sideways to Fa Zhengdao, "Filial piety, take a look!" ”

At that moment, the three of them left the big tent and came to the gate in front of the big village to look north.

The Qingniu Pass is on a higher terrain, and it occupies a condescending geographical advantage by holding Runan Road to the north or Lujiang Road to the south, so Pan Zhang would choose to camp here to block Ma Chao's Xiliang Iron Cavalry. Ma Chao and the three of them can stand on the gate and take a condescending view of the situation on the official road on the north side of the pass, not only the situation of the Tai Shi Ci Wu army camp at a glance, but also the Liang army camp on the north side and even the Cao army camp further north can be faintly seen.

Ma Chao said: "Sure enough, it is General Xu Chu's iron cavalry battalion." ”

Fa Zheng smiled bitterly: "There seems to be Cao Jun's camp further north?" It's good now, in addition to Wu Jun and our army, Cao Jun is also here, and it's lively. ”

Ma Chao said: "I have to find a way to get in touch with General Xu Chu!" ”

Fa Zheng said: "Yes, at least we must find a way to order General Xu Chu to contain Tai Shi Ci's thousands of Wu troops at all costs, otherwise, Tai Shi Ci's thousands of Wu troops and the 3,000 mountain Yue soldiers south of the pass will be flanked on both sides, and no matter how brave and good our army is, there are only more than 700 soldiers, which is difficult to resist!" ”

Han De stretched out his hand and pointed to the cliffs on both sides of the official road, and said, "Then you can only find a way to climb over the cliff." ”

Ma Chao said: "Han De, this matter will be left to you." ”

Han De puffed up his chest sharply and said loudly: "Take the order." ”

Seeing Han De take the order away, Fa Zheng suddenly remembered something, slapped his forehead and said to Ma Chao: "Oh, by the way, I almost forgot something." ”

Ma Chao said: "What's the matter?" ”

Fa Zhengdao: "Young General, Guan Yu has not only kidnapped the Son of Heaven and hundreds of officials, but also more than a dozen sons and more than 20 women of Cao Ying, who are quite attractive. Among them, there is a person named Diao Chan, I heard that she used to be Lu Bu's concubine, and Guan Yu betrayed Cao Ying for this woman! ”

"Twenty women?" Ma Chao's expression moved, and he said in a deep voice, "Cao Ying is my brother's confidant, and my brother once said that any opportunity to hit Cao Ying should not be easily missed, so his dozen sons, hum, don't leave all of them beheaded!" As for the 20 or so women of the thieves, filial piety, you should arrange for a few tents to house these 20 women, and then let the brothers enter the tents in installments and batches to live happily! ”

Fa Zheng was stunned and said: "Major General, this~~"

"That's it!" Ma Chao said in a deep voice, "Right now, our army has fallen into a desperate situation, there are nearly 10,000 elite Wu troops surrounded by the north and south ends of the pass, and then there will be a tragic battle, more than 700 brothers, and in the end there may only be a few people who can survive, and maybe even none of them will survive!" ”

"No one knows if they will be alive tomorrow, the brothers are not afraid of death, but as the main general, the general cannot but be considerate of his subordinates, most of the more than 700 brothers are young people, and they have never tasted what it is like to be a woman, so let them taste it before they die in battle."

Fa Zheng nodded, and asked again: "Young General, do you want to leave that woman named Diao Chan for you?" ”

"No need!" Ma Chao shook his head and said, "More than 700 brothers, just these 20 or so women are not enough for the brothers to be happy, there are already a few beautiful wives and concubines in this general's mansion, so I won't rob them with the brothers, but if you like it, you can keep the one called Diao Chan by yourself." ”

Fa Zheng's eyes were overjoyed, and he shook Ma Chao to the ground: "In this way, thank you to the young general for making it happen." ”

"Hahaha." Ma Chao laughed loudly, turned back to Fa Zhengdao, "Xiaozhi, I didn't expect you to be quite a good woman?" ”

Fa Zheng shook his head and replied: "Zi said, the surname of food and color is also the surname, which shows that liking women is a man's surname, what is the shame, what is the shame?" ”

Ma Chao laughed.

Fa Zheng suddenly smiled and said to Ma Chao: "Young General, there is one more thing." ”

Ma Chao said: "Speak! ”

Fa Zhengdao: "Even if you add General Xu Chu's iron cavalry, the strength of our army is only three or four thousand, far less than half of the Wu army, and this is close to the Lujiang River, now Sun Ce has been killed by the major general, Zhou Yu is also seriously injured, life and death are unknown, whether it is to avenge his son, or to snatch the Son of Heaven, Jiangdong Tiger Sun Jian is bound to personally mention the army when he hears the news, if Sun Jian's army arrives, our army will never be able to resist, so we must find a way to announce to the lord that the army is urgent, please ask the lord to bring the army to respond!" ”

"Makes sense." Ma Chao said, "Then let Han De relay the news to General Xu Chu, and then let General Xu Chu find a way to report to his brother, after all, it is a little difficult to send people from us through the Wu army camp." ”

Fa Zhengdao: "That's all it can be." ”

……

Shu County, Sun Jian's official residence is a partial hall.

Sun Jian, Xu Shu, and Zhang Zhao were sitting on the ground, discussing around the map on the case.

Zhang Zhao said: "My lord, just now General Zhou Tai sent a fast horse to send an urgent report, and the 50,000 stone military grain mobilized from the four counties of Huiji, Wujun, Yuzhang, and Danyang has been transported to Chaohu Lake by water, and it will be transported to Shu County in two days." ”

"Good!" Sun Jian stood up and said in a deep voice, "Once the military rations are in place, our army can launch an attack on Huainan, and now the horse butcher is facing off with Cao Ying in the area of Guandu and Xuchang, and there is no time to look south in a short period of time, and Lei Xu and Mei Cheng of Huainan thought that our army would attack Jingzhou, and they would divide their troops to snatch the Son of Heaven, and they would never have thought that they would send troops to attack Huainan, just to kill him by surprise." ”

Xu Shu said: "The land around Huainan is fertile, and the rivers are vertical and horizontal, and the irrigation is convenient, it is the main grain-producing area in the eastern part of the country, if our army can successfully take Huainan, it will be able to lay a solid foundation for the Lord's Northern Expedition to the Central Plains!" After all, the population of the four counties of Jiangdong is too small, and the grain produced is far from enough to support the lord and the horse butcher to compete in the Central Plains. ”

"yes." Sun Jian nodded and said, "Gong respectfully proposes to Gu, if Yuan Shao enters the central principle, take Jingzhou in the west, and divide the river with the northern two heroes, if the horse butcher enters the central principle, first take Huainan and Xuzhou in the north, and then plot against Yan and Henan, and now the horse butcher and Cao Ying confront Xuchang, and it is the right time to chase the Central Plains!" ”

Zhang Zhao said: "If the lord wants to do something in the Central Plains, he must capture one of Huainan and Xuzhou as a grain production base, but in this way, it is bound to put our army directly under the attack of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry. ”

"Although the Xiliang Iron Horse is powerful, the lonely Jiangdong elite is not a vegetarian!" Sun Jian waved his arm viciously and said ambitiously, "Whether the horse butcher's Xiliang Iron Cavalry can be recruited, or the lonely Jiangdong elite is good at fighting, then only we will see on the battlefield." ”

Xu Shu stroked the willow whiskers under his chin, and said loudly: "According to the calculation of time, now the prince and the prince should have received the royal drive of the Son of Heaven by now, so that the lord can follow Cao Ying's example of the Son of Heaven to order not to submit, within a few years, the heroes of the world will compete to vote, and the great cause of the lord can be expected." ”

"Report~~" Xu Shu's voice fell, and suddenly a small official hurriedly entered, and said in a panic, "Lord, something is wrong." ”

Sun Jian frowned and shouted, "What's the alarm? ”

Xiao Shi replied in a trembling voice: "Childe, he~~he~~"

"What's wrong with him?" Sun Jian asked indifferently, "Is there something wrong?" ”

The so-called Zhizi Mo Ruo's father, Sun Jian has always been very confident in Sun Ce's martial arts, among the Jiangdong generals, Tai Shi Cizeng and Sun Ce had a tie, and the rest such as Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin were not Sun Ce's opponents, obviously, Sun Jian did not expect Sun Ce to have any accidents at all.

The little official said miserably: "Lord, son, he ...... Killed! ”

"Huh?"

"What?"

Xu Shu and Zhang Zhao were shocked when they heard this, and they hurriedly stood up.

Sun Jian was dumbfounded, and it took a long time to come back to his senses, stepped forward and grabbed Xiao Shi's shirt and lifted him up, staring at him with round eyes and shouting, "What did you say?" ”

The little official didn't dare to face Sun Jian's terrifying gaze, and said miserably: "Just now, General Pan Zhang sent a quick horse to report, Gongzi Ce has been killed by Xiliang Ma Chao, and Zhou Yu, the governor of the navy, is also seriously injured and his life and death are uncertain. ”

"How so?" Zhang Zhao said in a panic, "How can this be! ”

Xu Shu was secretly shocked in his heart, and asked anxiously, "Where is Guan Yu?" Where is the Son of Heaven? ”

The throat of the little official was gradually tightened by his clothes, his face was already red, and he replied with difficulty: "Guan Yu was also killed by Ma Chao, and the Son of Heaven and hundreds of officials were all hijacked by Ma Chao, but Ma Chao's more than 800 Xiliang Iron Cavalry were surrounded by the army of General Pan Zhang and General Tai Shici in the Qingniu Pass, and it was already difficult to fly!" ”

"Poof!"

Zhang Jian's fingers loosened, and the little official had already fallen to the ground.

Sun Jian turned around violently, knelt on the ground facing the dark night sky outside the hall, and then howled like a child: "Bo Fu, lonely Bo Fu, Woo~~"

Zhang Zhao turned his back and silently wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with his sleeves.

Xu Shu took a deep breath, tried his best to stabilize his emotions, and then stepped forward to support Sun Jian and said, "The prince has gone, the lord asks for condolences." ”

Zhang Zhao and the little official knelt on the ground at the same time, and said in unison: "Please mourn on the Lord's Day." ”

"Ma Chao!" Sun Jian slowly stood up, his tiger eyes showed bitter hatred, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Horse butcher~~ Lonely and Er swear not to stand together, swear not to stand together!" ”

Xu Shu said gloomily: "Lord." ”

Sun Jian Huo Ran turned around and said to Xu Shu: "Yuan Zhi!" ”

Xu Shu hurriedly stepped forward and said, "What does the lord command?" ”

Sun Jian said: "Today Bo Fu died in battle, Gong Jin was seriously injured, life and death are uncertain, the Son of Heaven and Baiguan were hijacked by Ma Chao thieves, fortunately, Pan Zhang, Tai Shici and the two armies successfully trapped Ma Chao in the Qingniu Pass, and the lonely determination to kill the Qingniu Pass to meet the Son of Heaven, and then blade Ma Chao to avenge the shame of Bo Fu, what does Yuan Zhi think?" ”

Xu Shu said: "The Son of Heaven is a big matter, and Huainan is a small matter, so it should be so." ”

Sun Jian said: "Someone! ”

The two pro-soldiers entered in response, knelt on the ground and said quickly: "What does the lord command?" ”

Sun Jian gritted his teeth and said: "Beat the drum and raise the tent, and I want to order troops overnight!" ”

……

After a few days, Xuchang.

Ma Yue came to visit Fang Yue's injury surrounded by Jia Xu and Li Su, and when he saw Ma Yue in person, Fang Yue was anxious to get up, but was gently held down by Ma Yue two steps forward.

"Yuan Reward, you don't have to get up if you are injured."

Fang Yue had no choice but to lie down and said gratefully: "Thank you Lord for your concern." ”

Ma Yue checked the injury in Fang Yue's ribs and asked, "Yuan Yuan, is the injury better?" ”

Fang Yue said: "It's just some flesh and skin injuries, it's not a hard thing anymore." ”

Ma Yue said: "Yuan Xian can rest assured to recuperate, now that the Cao army is trapped in Xuchang, it will be at the end of the road, or it will collapse in a short time, when the time comes, Lone will order Zhang Liao to be captured alive, and he will be tied to the tent and sent by you, how about it?" ”

Fang Yue hurriedly said: "Lord, Zhang Liao is loyal and commendable and superb in martial arts, he can be called a general, if Cao Ying is defeated, I hope that the lord can spare Zhang Liao's life, if he can be subdued, then the lord can add a general under the account, as for the last general, only blame the martial arts are not refined, but I can't complain about Zhang Liao." ”

As he was talking, the general Gao Shun had already stepped into the tent and said to the horse: "Lord, the trench around Xuchang City has been dug, and now even a mouse can't escape!" ”

"Okay, build an arrow tower every thirty steps along the trench, and send a marksman to guard it at night!" Ma Yue said loudly, "Then order the scout rangers to strengthen the patrol of the ground within a radius of fifty miles from Xuchang, and strictly prevent Cao Ying from digging tunnels to escape, this time, it is inevitable to hide from Cao A, you have to see people in life, and you have to see corpses when you die!" ”

Li Su tightened his hands tightly in his sleeves, and said flatteringly: "The lord has laid a net outside the city, and Cao Apu has already planted wings and is unable to fly!" ”

……

Xuchang.

Cao Ying in Xun Yu, Xun Yu, Cheng Yu, Liu Ye accompanied by the city tower to look at the situation outside the city, standing on the enemy tower to look out, only to see a radius of twenty miles of trench has surrounded the entire Xuchang City, this trench is two zhang deep, five zhang wide, the ditch is also full of sharp antlers.

On the outer edge of the trench, the soldiers of the Liang Army were busy building the arrow tower.

Liu Ye said worriedly: "Lord, if you don't want to find a way to break the siege of the Liang army, just wait for this group of arrow towers to be completed, the Liang army's siege of Xu Du will suddenly become an iron wall, and it will be difficult for our army to break through again!" ”

"Crack the siege of the Liang army?" Xun Yu shook his head and said, "It's not easy to talk about! Not to mention that the 50,000 Jizhou troops have been almost out of control, even if the lord can mobilize the Jizhou army, I am afraid that he will not be able to break through the counterattack of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry. ”

Xun You said: "It is not possible to defend to the death, there is no hope of breaking through, our army has fallen into a desperate situation!" ”

"Ugh." Cao Ying suddenly sighed softly, and a trace of inexplicable sadness flashed in his eyes, "If only Feng Xiao was still here, he would definitely be able to think of a solution." ”

……

Outside Xuchang City, the Liang army camp.

As soon as Ma Yue returned to the big tent, Ju suddenly stepped into the tent to report: "Lord, General Xu Chu sent an urgent report from Runan. ”

"Runan?" Ma Yue's expression moved, and he asked urgently, "Xu Chu has caught up with the Son of Heaven?" ”

Ju suddenly said: "General Xu Chu didn't catch up with the Son of Heaven, but the young general caught up!" ”

"The result?"

"The young general beheaded Guan Yu and robbed the Son of Heaven and hundreds of officials."

"Really?" Ma Yue was overjoyed, "Well done, worthy of Meng Qi!" Jutu, what about the people sent by Xu Chu? ”

Ju suddenly said: "It's outside the tent." ”

Ma Yue said, "Let him in." ”

Ju suddenly turned his head and waved his hand, and said loudly: "Bring it in!" ”

The footsteps sounded, Han De had already stepped down under the hostage of Wei and the two personal soldiers, and when he saw Ma Yue, Han De knelt down on the ground and sang respectfully: "Villain Han De, the position of the captain of the personal soldiers in front of the tent of the major general, see Lianghou." ”

Ma Yue said: "Get up." ”

"Xie Lianghou."

Han De bowed and stood up again.

(To be continued)
