The Xiliang cavalry retreated decisively, but Xiahoudun did not relax at all, and actually scolded the scout to investigate. Sure enough, the scout quickly reported that 5,000 Xiliang cavalry had attacked a Zhuangzi ten miles away, killing pigs and sheep.

"These damn robbers!"

Xiahou scolded angrily, and almost burst his blood vessels.

Cao Cao moved to Xuchang, and Xuchang was the core of Cao Cao's military group. Now that the surrounding areas of Xuchang have been looted, this is definitely not a trivial matter, just like the current looting of the surrounding areas of Chang'an, Luo Zheng will also be very troublesome.

But what can be done, Cao Cao's army is out, and Xiahoudun can't help this Xiliang cavalry at all.

Not only can I help it, but I must also be careful not to be attacked by the Xiliang army.

Xiahoudun didn't dare to move, there were still ten miles away from Xuchang City, and the Xiliang cavalry could be killed at any time.

After thinking about it, I still felt that I couldn't take risks. At this time, let the army enter Xuchang, it is very likely that the Xiliang army will take advantage of it, so the army was ordered to camp on the spot, and dug a trap outside the camp, so that the soldiers dared to bury the pot and cook and take turns to rest.

Late at night, Xiahoudun camped.

"General, something is wrong!"

A small colonel looked panicked, screaming while running, and when he rushed outside the military tent, he was stopped by his own soldiers.

"What's going on?"

Xiahoudun's deep shouts sounded in the military tent, and in the footsteps, he saw that Xiahoudun had rushed out of the tent with all his armor on, and he looked like he had not been disarmed, obviously guarding against the sneak attack of the Xiliang cavalry.

The junior colonel said loudly: "Mr. Chen Gong sent someone to report that General Cao Ren had died in battle. ”

"What?"

Xiahoudun's surprise was not trivial, and he said sharply: "Say it again, Zixiao is dead?" ”

The junior colonel nodded again and again: "There are scouts under General Cao Ren who fled to Xuchang, and it is said that General Cao Ren's 8,000 army was raided from behind by Luo Zhengqin led by Luo Zhengqin in the south of Junyi, and General Cao Ren was unfortunately killed in battle, and the 8,000 army has been killed!" ”

"Ahh

Xiahoudun screamed and was speechless for a long time.

"General?"

The little colonel waited for a long time, but there was no order, so he had to call again.

Xiahoudun came back to his senses at this time, cried blood from the corners of his eyes, and said sharply: "Luo Zhengpifu, I will never die with you!" ”

The little colonel was taken aback, wiped the cold sweat on his head, and hurriedly said: "General, what should I do now, do you want to use the army to kill the camp of Benluo, fight to the death with the Xiliang army, and avenge General Cao Ren?" ”

Xiahou was angry and angry, he really had this meaning, and he was about to give an order at that time, but then he was startled, and quickly calmed down, at present, Xuchang's troops were empty, and there were only 8,000 foot soldiers, and there were no 5,000 Xiliang cavalry at all.

"Is the news true?"

Xiahoudun asked anxiously, "Zixiao really died in battle?" ”

The Colonel replied, "It's true! ”

"Hey!"

Xiahoudun sighed, his expression was extremely sad and indignant, and he was silent for a long time.

The chest is even more like being pressed on a mountain, and it is dull and breathless.

At the same time, the Xiliang Army was temporarily stationed.

Luo Zheng and Jia Xu were sitting next to a fire rack and were eating roast beef.

Xu Chu and a few pro-soldiers were busy roasting beef skewers with bamboo skewers.

There is no lamb to eat, only beef.

Wang Fang walked over quickly and arched his hand: "Lord! ”

Luo Zheng chewed on the half-cooked kebab while 'um' and said, "Say, what's the matter?" ”

Wang Fang said: "Xiahoudun's army has already set up camp, and he is not in a hurry to return to Xuchang City!" ”

Luo Zheng swallowed the fat in his mouth, and while taking the cotton cloth handed by his own soldiers to wipe his hands, he frowned and said: "It is said that Xiahoudun is as strong as fire, it seems that this person also has two sides!" Xuchang is in front of him, Xiahoudun is not in a hurry to return to Xuchang City, at this time he is still guarding against our army, this Xiahoudun is not a simple martial artist! ”

Jia Xu said: "The lord and the lord are attacking the army, who in this world dares to deal with it carelessly!" ”

Luo Zheng thought about it, and suddenly realized that he could also bring pressure to others.

After thinking about it, he asked: "Since Xiahoudun is here, I don't know if Cao Cao's army is still in Runan." ”

Jia Xu said: "If nothing else, Cao Cao should have led his army north." The biggest possibility is that Cao Cao received the news that the army was coming, and he would inevitably return to Xuchang with the army. Although Cao Ren is a rare general, how can he be the opponent of the lord. Cao Cao must also understand this, and let Xiahou lead an army to come, but it was just to prevent Xuchang from failing. ”

Luo Zheng said: "Runan is not far from Xuchang, so Cao Cao's army can reach Yingchuan in three or five days at most!" ”

Jia Xu nodded and said: "Xiahoudun is very well prepared, and Cao Cao's army is approaching, so it is time for our army to return to Guandu." ”

Luo Zheng was still a little unwilling, so he killed a Cao Ren, and he was really unwilling to leave like this, even if he couldn't break through Xuchang and copy Cao Agui's lair, he had to kill another Xiahoudun to make enough money.

But then he knew that he was a little greedy, and Xiahoudun was very guarded, and it was difficult to find another opportunity.

And Cao Apu is scheming, if he doesn't leave, if he is blocked in Yingchuan, he will be in trouble.

Luo Zheng thought about it for a while, and then said categorically: "That's it, according to Wenhe's opinion, I will start my troops and return to Guandu early tomorrow morning!" ”

Jia Xu breathed a sigh of relief and arched his hand: "The Lord is wise!" ”

I was afraid that Luo Zheng would not be greedy enough and would refuse to withdraw the army, and he wanted to kill Xiahoudun again. Cao Cao's army will arrive soon, and if it is blocked in Yingchuan at that time, it will not be so easy to withdraw to Guandu unscathed.

Early the next morning, the Xiliang army set off north, walked a circle of horses outside Xuchang City, and went north to return to Guandu.

After receiving the news, Xiahoudun repeatedly confirmed that the Xiliang army was not a fake retreat, but really went to Guandu, so he ordered the army to rise up and enter Xuchang, and at the same time sent a horse to report to Cao Cao.

Pingyu, Cao Cao's army had just passed Shen Ting, and he received the news that Cao Ren had died in battle.

"What, Zixiao is dead?"

When Cao Cao heard the news at first glance, he was so shocked that he almost didn't jump.

It was a bolt from the blue, and everyone was a little messy in shock.

The little colonel who came to report had a sad face and replied: "Luo Zheng is full of tricks, the main army has gone around to the rear of our army at some point, although General Cao Ren is strictly guarded, he still can't prevent it, not only General Cao Ren was killed in battle, but also the 8,000 army was killed!" ”

Cao Cao glared angrily, and after a while, he shouted, "Ah, Zixiao! ”

Everyone was pale, and Xiahou Yuan, Cao Chun, Cao Hong and other generals were about to erupt with fire in their eyes.

Cao Cao stood up fiercely, drew his sword and cut off a corner of the bookcase, and said sharply: "Luo Zhengpifu, slaughtered more than hundreds of my Cao clan in the first year of Chuping, and now he has killed my favorite general, this revenge will not be avenged, and the oath will not be a person!" ”

Cao Hong cried blood in the corners of his eyes, strode out of the line and stood under the hall, and sobbed: "Please send troops quickly to avenge your brother!" ”

Xiahou Yuan, Cao Chun, Le Jin, Yu Ban and other generals were also indignant, eager to kill Xuchang immediately.

Guo Jia, Cheng Yu, Liu Ye, Xun You and others were silent, sighing in their hearts.

Luo Zheng has experienced a hundred battles and has a great reputation, and no one will underestimate such an opponent. Therefore, when he received Luo Zheng's personal army to attack, instead of reprimanding the rest of the generals under his command, Cao Cao immediately led the army north and returned to Xuchang.

Cao Ren is a talented general, and he is also one of Cao Cao's most powerful arms, otherwise he would not have been entrusted with the important task of staying behind.

Compared with Luo Zheng, who has brilliant military achievements and fierce might, Cao Ren is indeed a little worse.

The reason why Cao Cao immediately set up troops to go north after receiving Luo Zheng's personal command of the army was that he was not worried about Cao Ren. Unexpectedly, the worry that I didn't want to say in my heart turned into a fact, which made everyone a little sad.

Luo Zheng's gang is so cunning and difficult, I am afraid that the Central Plains will never have peace in the future.

This time it's Cao Ren, so who will be next?

Everyone subconsciously didn't want to think about this problem, because they felt cold when they thought about it.

Cao Hong, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Chun and other generals only thought about killing Xuchang and avenging Cao Ren, while Guo Jia, Cheng Yu, Xun You and others looked further, Luo Zheng attacked and broke the Hangu Pass, and the attack of the Xiliang army in the future is afraid that it will be endless.

Cao Cao thought of Xiahoudun, and asked hurriedly and sharply: "Where is the Yuan Rang army?" ”

The junior colonel hurriedly replied: "General Xiahoudun's 8,000 army has been stationed in Xuchang and has not been attacked by the Xiliang cavalry!" ”

Cao Cao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, okay, okay!

Xiahoudun's army entered Xuchang, which was finally good news.

If Lian Yuan Rang is also broken, Cao Cao will really go crazy.

Guo Jia asked, "Where is Luo Zheng's army now?" ”

The junior colonel replied: "Back to the military division, Luo Zheng's army has passed Xuchang and headed north, and has returned to Guandu." ”

Guo Jia, Cheng Yu and the others glanced at each other and couldn't help but be disappointed.

Just now, they had just made a plan to block this Xiliang cavalry in Yingchuan, so that Luo Zheng's wings would be difficult to fly, but now they heard the news that Luo Zheng had led his army north to Guandu.

Cao Hong waved his arms hatefully, gritted his teeth and said, "It's really cheap, this guy is really fast!" ”

Cao Cao muttered: "This guy is not only scheming, but also so decisive, it is really a scourge, compared to Dong Zhuo in the past, if you can't block it in Yingchuan this time, I don't know when I will have another chance." ”

Cheng Yu, Xun You and others thought so, and their moods were a little heavy.

At this moment, another junior colonel hurried in and said quickly: "Lord, Xuchang is in trouble." ”

"Xuchang?"

Cao Cao's face changed again, he couldn't bear the irritability in his heart, and said sharply: "Speak!" ”

The junior colonel said loudly: "General Xiahoudun sent Ma to report that Li Dao took advantage of the emptiness of troops around Xuchang to send 8,000 troops to loot Chenliu, Yingchuan and other places, and has broken seven cities in a row, and the fear of thieves has resurged!" ”

"Li Dao Pifu!"

Cao Cao was furious, "This repeated and unrighteous puppet is really not enough to conspire!" ”

Guo Jia said in a condensed voice: "Lord, Li Dao took advantage of the situation to send troops to loot, and the situation changed again, so he should raise troops and return to Xuchang overnight!" ”

Cao Cao said categorically: "Good, according to the view of filial piety!" ”R1152
