Chapter 068: Tiger Idiot General
The two armies were in a scuffle, the quality of the Shu army's individual soldiers was difficult to match with the cavalry of the Cao army, many soldiers fell off their horses, countless wounded, Cao Pi and Sima Yi who were in command of the infantry watching the battle in the back, Cao Pi saw that the situation was in his favor, and hurriedly waved his sword, in an instant, the ambush in the forest was everywhere, and thousands of cavalry rushed out of the forest and rushed straight to the right wing of the Shu army. ”
Immediately snatched the handsome flag from the hands of the soldiers, turned the horse's head, and ran backwards, the Shu army that was originally in the melee saw the handsome flag and ran, which still had the heart to fight, and a swarm of bees followed the handsome flag and ran away.
The Cao army was in the middle of the battle, at this time the Shu army retreated, and suddenly there was no opponent, Xiahou Shang saw that the Shu army was defeated and retreated, he was overjoyed, and put the spear for a while, and said: "Give me chase!" ”
Cao Jun followed closely behind the Shu army, but fortunately, Zhao Yun was broken, so he slowed down the pursuit of Cao Jun.
Cao Pi saw Cao Jun's victory, overjoyed, waved the long sword, clamped the horse's belly, the war horse neighed and screamed, and rushed out, Cao Pi followed Cao Cao since he was a child, although he was used to seeing swords and swords, but he personally commanded the battle like this, and it was the first time to fight on the battlefield, he was quite excited, Cao Pi took the lead, and it was too late for Sima Yi to react, so he hurriedly shouted: "Protect the world!" ”
Xu Chu on the side heard this, smiled slightly, and led more than 100 tigers and leopards to follow Cao Pi.
Seeing this, Sima Yi felt a lot more relieved, turned around and ordered 5,000 foot soldiers to return to Xudu to defend the city, and he personally led 5,000 foot soldiers to follow Cao Pi.
The horses of the Shu army are Liu Bei through Ma Chao from Xiqiang, Xiqiang is located in the Ganliang area, rich in good horses, and the Qiang people are good at raising good horses, so the quality of the war horses is higher than the Cao army in the Central Plains horses, at this time the Western Regions have not been attached, so although the Cao army has many war horses, but most of them are inferior horses in the Central Plains.
More than 100 miles away in the south of Xudu City, there is a dense forest valley, where the mountains are high and wooded, tigers and leopards are everywhere, the roar of tigers and wolves at night is endless, the towering trees are more than 100 years old, an official road extends to the depths of the valley, it is an abandoned official road, destroyed in the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and has not been used for many years.
On both sides of the valley, in the dense forest, Young Master Zhuge squatted halfway up the mountain, in front of him was a cluster of grass more than half a person high, through the weeds you could observe the movement of the valley bottom, at this time on the slopes on both sides of the valley, thousands of Shu troops held crossbows, half-squatting weeds, the war horse was driven out of the deep valley, led by Fu Shiren more than 100 soldiers guarded. All the horses and horses were wrapped in mouths, so that Cao Jun would not be aware of the neighing of the war horses.
When the Shu army was ready, there was a chaotic sound of horses' hooves outside the valley, and then a person was heard shouting: "Come into the valley and hide!" "It's Zhao Yun.
Cao Jun behind him saw that the Shu army had entered the deep valley, Xiahou Shang listened to it at the mouth of the valley, observed from all sides, saw that the valley was deep, the forest was tall, there was an ambush, and he did not dare to move forward, just at this time, Cao Pi arrived on horseback, and saw Xiahou Shang hesitating at the mouth of the valley, and stepped forward and said: "What about the Shu army?" ”
When Xiahou Shang heard this, he pointed to the valley in front of him and said, "Ran in!" ”
When Cao Pi heard this, he said, "Why don't you chase it?" ”
Xiahou Shang said with a sad face: "Art of War: Don't enter the dense forest!" The last general will see that the valley here is deep, the forest is high and the grass is dense, and there are ambushes! ”
When Cao Pi heard this, he laughed and said: "The Shu army is in a panic, where is the ambush soldiers, after speaking, they rushed into the valley first!" ”
Xiahou Shang was shocked when he saw this, and he hurriedly followed, chasing in, the valley was very deep, Cao Jun walked for a while, and gradually felt that the wind in the valley was gusting, and the surrounding was dead and silent, and the occasional birdsong made the valley more empty.
"What's going on? Why is there no birdsong? Cao Pi began to feel that something was wrong, Cao Pi was smart since he was a child, and rarely entered the army, although he did not have the experience of raising the army and parading the army, but he also knew a little about the army, at this time the silence in the valley was terrible, Cao Pi frowned, and suddenly shouted: "Not good, there is an ambush!" Evacuate! ”
Before the words fell, a voice rang out, "You know it's too late!" Immediately the arrows rained down, the valley in the valley of the Cao army in the arrow fell countless people, the Cao army suddenly became a mess, collided with each other and trampled on countless dead, Xiahou Shang saw this and hurriedly rushed up, and several tiger and leopard riders surrounded Cao Pi in the middle, slowly retreated out of the valley. But where did the Shu army make the beaked duck fly?
When it was too late, a desolate military horn sounded, and the sound echoed in the valley, and immediately, thousands of soldiers and horses rushed out of the valley, and the leader was Zhao Yun. Zhao Yun is a fierce general in the Shu army, taking the lead, rushing all the way to kill, where he passed, the Cao army all fell off the horse, and he fought a bloody way straight to Cao Pi in the Cao army's array, shouting: "The one with the brocade robe and jade belt is Cao Pi!" ”
Cao Pi was shocked when he heard this, and as soon as he clamped the horse's belly, he wanted to run, but where was the time? Zhao Yun and Cao Pi only had an arrow away at this time, and the spear in their hands unconsciously moved forward, stabbing straight towards Cao Pi, if this shot hit, Cao Pi's life could not be guaranteed, just between the lightning and flint, but a person could hear a shout: "Stop hurting my lord!" The sound was like thunder, Zhao Yun heard the words, and was shocked, but saw the person next to Cao Pi, but saw that the person holding a long knife into the military formation, "bang", Zhao Yun stabbed Cao Pi's spear away, and then replied to cut Zhao Yun, Zhao Yun was shocked when he saw this, and hurriedly waved his gun to block, but he heard a "click" sound, and the spear was broken when he heard the sound, so Zhao Yun was caught off guard, and quickly turned his horse back, and the man did not chase, and helped Cao Pi, who was scared to fall from the horse just now, and escorted Cao Pi slowly out of the valley with Xiahou Shang.
Seeing this, Fu Shiren and Sun Jiao hurriedly led their troops to chase and kill Cao Jun for a while, and Cao Jun lost thousands of dollars and retreated to Xudu.
Outside the valley, Zhao Yun looked at the defeated and retreating Cao Jun, sighed and said: "A young man has joined the army, fought for half his life, and has never met an opponent, I don't want to encounter such a strong enemy here today, I really can't imagine it!" ”
When Young Master Zhuge on the side heard this, he said with a smile: "Master, it's not a shame for you to have a tie with this person!" General Ma Chao was also afraid of him back then! ”
When Zhao Yun heard this, he frowned and said, "Oh? Who the hell is this person? ”
Young Master Zhuge smiled slightly and said, "If my expectations are correct, this person is Prime Minister Cao Cheng's tiger idiot general, Xu Chu!" ”
When Zhao Yun heard this, he was shocked, and after a while, he said slowly: "It turned out to be him!" ”
Young Master Zhuge nodded with a smile, and said: "This person and the former Cao Cao general Dian Wei Qimin, known for his bravery, in the past, Cao Cao conquered Ma Chao, he fought with the army, fought with Ma Chao, went into battle shirtless, the three armies were shocked, Ma Chao was as afraid as a tiger, and respected him as a 'tiger idiot general'." His people are brave and loyal, loyal to Cao Cao's succession, so they are deeply trusted, and often follow Cao Cao's left around, but they didn't expect Cao Cao's southern expedition to leave him behind, and he saw that it was also for guarding our army and guarding Xu Du! ”
When Zhao Yun heard this, he sighed and said, "This person's martial arts are not under me, he is really a tiger general!" ”
