Iron hooves are churning, and thousands of horses are moving. ↖ ↖ ↖ Top ↖ Story, www.

The more than 6,000 Cao troops did not hold back the Xiliang cavalry for long, and sometimes the determination to fight to the death alone could not make up for the huge disadvantage in troops, types of troops and soldiers, especially the elite of the Xiliang cavalry, which was not under the Cao army.

Just one charge, more than 6,000 Cao troops were rushed to pieces.

Although the terrain here is conducive to the defense of infantry formations, it also does not prevent the cavalry from charging, and the Cao army has lost all its baggage in the process of fleeing, relying only on the sabers and bows in their hands, and they cannot stop the cavalry charge at all.

Especially when the troops were at a disadvantage, the fate of the more than 6,000 Cao troops was already doomed.

More than 20,000 Xiliang cavalry charged in formation, roaring past, without any suspense, the Cao army rushed into a crush, Cao Cao's general Li Dian was also killed by the Xiliang warrior Yan Xing on the spot, more than 6,000 Cao Jun who aroused the determination to fight to the death was like being poured cold water on the head, the morale of the army collapsed in an instant, and there was no longer the slightest fight, throwing away the weapon and fleeing for his life.

"Good news, lord!"

Jia Xu urged the horse to rush to Luo Zheng's side, and said overjoyedly: "Cao Jun led five thousand elite horsemen to leave for less than two hours. ”

Luo Zheng looked at the natural and immediately frowned.

Less than two hours had passed since Cao Cao, and it was a good time to pursue.

But now the sky is getting dark, the army has been chasing for a day, and just after another big battle, the bodies of soldiers and horses have also reached the limit, and the night is not conducive to marching, and this great opportunity has been missed in vain.

Fa Zheng also urged the horse to come over, and said, "Lord, Juye is still more than 500 miles away from the city. The night was not conducive to marching, and Cao Cao fled. There will definitely be no escape, after our army rests for the night. The day after tomorrow, it should catch up with Cao Jun! ”

Luo Zheng thought for a while, and then said: "That's it, order the army to camp on the spot and rest!" ”

"Yes!"

Jia Xu, Fa Zheng and others surrendered their orders.

After a short time, the soldiers finished cleaning the battlefield and marched ten miles, camping on a high post to rest.

Xiangyang, the palace of the king of Chu.

After reading Cao Cao's letter, Liu Qi looked around at the ministers under his tent and said, "All the secretaries." The battle of Guandu has ended, Cao Cao of the Central Plains broke Yuan Shao's 300,000 Hebei male soldiers, and then Guanzhong Luo Zheng took advantage of the situation to send troops to the Tiger Prison, wanting to destroy the Central Plains, Cao Cao sent a letter to the envoy, and wanted to form an alliance with Gu to resist the Xiliang Luo Zheng, I don't know what the Qing family wants, whether our army wants to form an alliance with Cao Cao? ”

Strategist Kuai Yue said: "Lord, Luo Zheng sits on Guan Liang and Xichuan thousands of miles of fertile fields. The corporal is rich and the people are abundant, and the soldiers are wide and wide, and this time he poured out of the nest to really want to conquer the Central Plains in one fell swoop, and its momentum is huge. Our army should not intervene in the war in the Central Plains lightly! ”

His brother Kuai Liang also nodded in agreement, not agreeing to form an alliance with Cao Cao, let alone send troops.

The general Deng Yi said bluntly: "What does Luo Zheng and Cao Cao's life and death have to do with our Jingzhou." Previously, Cao Cao robbed Nanyang County, and this time he also had the face to send people to form an alliance. This time, the Xiliang army poured out. Obviously, Cao Cao will not give up on a certain rest, and the war in the Central Plains is a quagmire. Cao Cao clearly wanted to pull the lord into the water, and his intentions were extremely sinister. ”

All the Jingzhou scholars nodded again and again, no one who could stand here was a fool, and there was no reason why they couldn't see Cao Cao's intentions.

For the Jingzhou scholars who lack enterprising spirit, as long as they can hold the one-third of an acre of land in Jingzhou, their own interests will not be infringed upon, and they will not be involved in the war between Luo Zheng and Cao Cao, let alone be used.

Even if they are extremely scheming brothers, they are not willing to have a bad relationship with Luo Zheng, who is in the middle of the pass.

Liu Qi nodded in agreement, and looked at Liu Bei again, "What does my uncle think?" ”

Liu Bei glanced at Xu Shu and motioned for Xu Shu to come over.

Xu Shu nodded and bowed his hand to Liu Qi: "King Mingjian of Chu, I think that an alliance with Cao Cao is the trend of the times. ”

When the Jingzhou scholars heard this, their faces immediately became a little ugly.

Liu Qi is also a little hesitant, from the bottom of his heart, he is also unwilling to use the sword soldiers, and he is even more unwilling to run to provoke the famous Luo Zheng, but Liu Qi is timid and cowardly, and now the military power in Jingzhou is almost all in the hands of Liu Bei, and Liu Bei has to nod his head to implement big and small things, so after Kuai Yue and others put forward their opinions, they had to ask Liu Bei what he meant.

But he didn't want Liu Bei to have the intention of forming an alliance with Cao Cao, so his face was a little ugly.

Liu Qi asked, "I don't know what Mr. Xu Shu thinks?" ”

Xu Shu said loudly: "Luo Zheng, tiger and wolf, the king of Chu wants to keep Jingzhou peaceful, but he doesn't know that his lips are dead and his teeth are cold, Luo Zheng is aggressive, if he is allowed to break Cao Cao and enter the Central Plains, then the general trend will be all over one side, and no one in the world can control it." And Yuan Shaoxin was defeated by Cao Cao, and he may not be Luo Zheng's opponent at that time. If Yuan Shao is destroyed and Luo Zheng raises troops south to Jingxiang, how should our army resist? ”

"This ......"

Liu Qi frowned and didn't know how to answer.

Kuai Yue said lightly: "Although Yuan Shao was defeated, the foundation of Hebei was not damaged, and there are many heroes in Hebei, Luo Zheng wants to pacify Hebei, which is so easy." Don't talk about Hebei, let's just say that whether Luo Zheng can enter the Central Plains at the moment is still unknown, and he can't help but think too far. If Luo Zheng is provoked to raise a large army, what should I use in Jingzhou to resist! ”

Huang Zhong said loudly: "I also have 70,000 soldiers in Jingzhou, how can I be afraid of Luo Zheng." ”

Xu Shu nodded and said: "General Huang Zhong is good, at the moment, our army Jingzhou soldiers are well fed, if they unite with Cao Cao, they can still fight against Luo Zheng." If Luo Zheng is allowed to break Cao Cao and enter the Central Plains, our army will be difficult to support alone, how can we still stop Luo Zheng's more than 100,000 Xiliang troops. As for what Lord Kuai Yue said that Luo Zheng is not enough to pacify Hebei, I don't see it that way! ”

Kuai Yue arched his hand and said: "I want to hear it in detail!" ”

Xu Shu said loudly: "Luo Zheng, the hero of the world, this person started from the cold, sent from the Xiliang, and got the Xichuan thousands of miles of fertile fields, to put it mildly, Luo Zheng's strength is still above Yuan Shao and Cao Cao." This time, Yuan Shao raised troops to the south of the Central Plains, although he was defeated by Cao Cao in Guandu, but Cao Cao's casualties were also not small. And Luo Zheng only lost some grain and straw in Bishui Pass, and Luo Liang's wealth under Luo Zheng's rule was not damaged at all, can't you still see the general trend of the world? ”

Liu Bei also said: "What Yuan Zhi said is extremely true, if Luo Zheng is allowed to break Cao Cao and enter the Central Plains, then it will not be Yuan Shao who will raise troops to the south to the Central Plains, but Luo Zheng will drive the army to the north to Hebei, and Bei also thinks that it is extremely unlikely that Yuan Shao can block Luo Zheng." If Luo Zheng is allowed to pacify the north again, who in the world can stop him. Therefore, now forming an alliance with Cao Cao to prevent Luo Zheng from invading the Central Plains is not only helping Cao Cao, but also removing a needle for our army. ”

"This ......"

Liu Qi was an unassertive person, so he looked at the Jingzhou scholars.

Kuai Yue and the others frowned and were silent, they had no military power in their hands, and it was a waste of words to refute Liu Bei. (To be continued......) R527
