~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In the vast river, two big oars paddled through the water, and a small boat was like the ferryman on the boat, struggling to move forward in the rapids and row to the opposite bank.

There were only six people on the boat, Cao Cao, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Pi, Xu Chu, plus two servants, this was Cao Cao's last remaining team.

Because of Guan Yu's cover, Cao Cao and his entourage finally escaped to Weishui, and worked hard to get a small boat. At the moment, two servants rowed the boat, Xiahou Yuan and Cao Pi guarded left and right, and Xu Chu stood at the stern of the boat with a shield to cover. Due to the delay in finding the ship, Guan Yu only managed to get a moment at the cost of 2,000 people.

After the boat rowed out dozens of zhang, on the south bank of the water, the smoke and dust were billowing, and the riding shadow was heavy, and the dragon and wolf rode still caught up.

There is a broken bridge stretching into the center of the river on the south bank of Weishui, which must have been washed away by a flash flood a few days ago, which is also the reason for Cao Cao's boat.

The dragon and wolf rode up the broken bridge, drew the bow and shot, but were blocked by Xiahou Yuan and Xu Chu waving their shields, and the arrows fell on the boat, making a shocking sound.

As the shadow of the boat became farther and farther away, the arrows of the dragon wolf sneered and fell on the water, and all of them were lost.

Xu Chu couldn't help but laugh loudly: "You can't do it, let's call Ma Han to come." ”

As soon as the words fell, a lazy voice sounded: "Who is looking for me, is it a tiger idiot?" ”

Xu Chu's muscles suddenly tensed, although he also knew that he shouldn't do this, but the body's instinctive reaction was not controlled by the will. This tension is not tight, and there is a sharp pain in the wound on the shoulder and back. Xu Chu inhales, exhales, inhales again, and exhales. Finally relaxed.

Hearing this, Cao Cao pushed away the shield of Xiahou Yuan and Cao Pi, stood tall and proud, and laughed at the shore: "Ma Jinglong...... Thanks a lot...... Appearance...... Send ......"

The wind on the river is fierce, and it is dozens of feet away, and the sound is faintly audible.

But seeing that among the hundred horsemen on the riverbank, a red shadow came out of the crowd, rushing onto the broken bridge at a gallop, and galloping all the way. When there is still a zhang to find the cross-section, it suddenly pulls the reins. The war horse rushed to the broken bridge, neighed in the wind, and the people stood up, which was really dangerous.

Even if it was a hostile position, Cao Cao, Xiahou Yuan, and others couldn't help but applaud loudly.

Face to face again, Xu Chu finally couldn't help but ask the doubts that he had been entangled for more than ten days: "Ma Jinglong, the injury on my shoulder and back...... Result...... Be...... Heavenly Punishment ...... Still is...... Man-made disaster! ”

Ma Han shook his hand, the blood bow was in his hand, and his voice suddenly turned sharp: "God-punishment!" ”

Open the bow, aim, loosen the strings –

Airplanes! I only hear the strings. There was no shadow of an arrow, but Xu Chu, who was nearly a hundred feet away, roared suddenly: "Horse, surprise, dragon!" "He fell on his back, and his shield flew several feet and fell heavily into the water.

For a time, there was chaos on board.

The horse is angry and sinks into the dantian. word by word, it was clearly transmitted to the ship: "Cao Mengde, you are lucky this time, you have escaped the first day of junior high school." But it doesn't matter, fifteen more, I'll wait. Since you have stepped down to thank me for sending it off. Then I'll really give a big gift - the corpse of the tiger idiot! Cao Mengde, go all the way, there will be a period later! ”

It's a pity that the pursuit can only end here and cannot be continued, because Xiyang County is not far from the other bank. It's not that I'm afraid, Ma Han completely dares to capture Xiyang City with three hundred horsemen, but he can't do this. Liu Ye is persuading Huang Zu in Jiangxia, and Kong Rong is also persuading Liu Biao in Xiangyang.

The water is the dividing line, and it must not be crossed – at least not yet.

Ma Han didn't release the arrow, he put the empty string (of course, it was a light hand to release it slowly, otherwise the bow would be damaged), but Xu Chu was hit by the "arrow".

During the Warring States Period, Geng Yi and the King of Wei were under the Jingtai and looked up to see the birds. What's more, the king of Wei said: "The minister leads the bow for the king and sends down the bird." King Wei said: "Then can you shoot so much?" He said, "Yes." ”

Occasionally, geese came from the east, and they even came down with nothing.

This is the allusion to the "frightened bird". At this moment, Ma Han is more than that, and Xu Chu is the wild goose that "fell in sores".

In the face of the strongest bow in the world, even if Lu Bu is resurrected, he must be as tight as a string and deal with it with all his heart, how can Xu Chu be able to relax his whole body? When he heard about the "Heavenly Punishment" and saw Ma Han raise his bow to aim, he reflexed and his muscles tensed violently - so the tragedy of the little overlord was repeated in the tiger idiot.

During the Three Kingdoms era, except for Huatuo and the Dragon Wolf Medical Center, the world's medical workers did not know how to use sutures, so the wound was easy to crack. The recurrence and burst of old wounds are often an important cause of death.

That night, Xiyang City Temple, a generation of tiger generals, tiger idiot Xu Chu, his back was cracked, the blood flowed endlessly, shouting "Heaven is killing me, not a crime of war, hate!" ”。

If it is three times, pawn.

Cao Cao was sad and lost a fierce general, maybe there must be a loss in the providence, just when he was sad, a report suddenly came from outside the mansion, saying that Han Sima had returned.

Cao Cao jumped up, and the wooden didn't have time to put on, so he rushed out with his socks on.

At the foot of the stairs, a person wept: "Hao is suspicious and will no longer see the public." ”

"Yuan heir, Yuan heir, ......" Cao Cao held the hands of the person who came with both hands, and burst into tears when he thought of the deaths of Cao Hong and Xu Chu.

Han Hao miraculously escaped and successfully returned to Cao Cao's command. It's just that, compared to the heavy losses in this battle, Han Hao's return can only be regarded as comfort.

This is the second heavy blow suffered by Cao Cao since the battle of Xiapi in the third year of Jian'an, the last time it was injured, this time it was a fundamental injury, and it is difficult to recover.

……

In September, Xun Yu did not take on a battle, directly abandoned Yuzhou, led nearly 10,000 Yuzhou soldiers and civilians to retreat to Nanyang, and joined Cao Cao, and then was arranged by Liu Biao to garrison Suixian (now Suizhou, Hubei). In this way, Liu Biao completely divided Nanyang County, from north to south, and set up three shields against Ma Han: Zhang Xiu, Liu Bei, and Cao Cao.

After all, Liu Biao did not fully accept Kong Rong's persuasion, and only shirked it for various reasons, and the tendency of the conservatives in Jingzhou such as the Kuai family and the Cai family to take refuge has always been ambiguous. But one thing is certain, with so many internal constraints, Liu Biao will definitely not be able to directly raise troops to confront Ma Han. Perhaps, when the dragon and wolf army came to Jingzhou, it was the time when the Jingzhou forces abandoned Liu Biao.

In the same month. The Luoyang court issued an edict to inform the world: The traitor Cao Cao attacked the general for no reason, and the crime is unforgivable. deprived the lords of Yuzhou Mu, General Zhendong, and Marquis of Feiting; There is also Liu Bei, the general of Anton, who aided in the abuse, and attacked the general, and his evil deeds were notorious, and he was also guilty of the same crime as Cao Thief.

At the same time, the wanted notice of Cao Cao and his generals, as well as Liu Guanzhang, was issued. Those who report and take it will be rewarded heavily, and those who hide or harbor will be guilty of the same crime.

As soon as this order came out. Cao Cao and Liu Bei suddenly fell into the whirlpool of righteous condemnation, and their good reputation for painstaking management in the past was lost.

The one who was most anxious was Liu Bei, in fact, before that, that is, after Guan Yu fled back to Xinye, he had already realized the strict nature of the problem. Liu Bei, who was not angry, scolded Guan Yu bitterly, and immediately sent Sun Qian to ask for guilt and defense.

It's a pity that the Dragon Wolf Army, which has established the Flying Eagle communication network, reacted faster than Liu Bei. Jia Xu immediately instructed Zhang Xiu to find an excuse to intercept him, but Sun Qiangang walked to Bowang. was detained by Hu Che'er, and none of his entourage ran away. Liu Bei was looking forward and waiting anxiously, but he couldn't wait for Sun Qian's news. Until the end of August. finally learned that Sun Qian didn't go to Luoyang at all, and stayed in Bowang Prison.

Liu Bei was so anxious that he almost didn't vomit blood, so he went to Wan in person to negotiate with Zhang Xiu. At the same time, he urged Liu Biao to mediate. Eventually, Sun Qian was released and continued north, but it was too late.

Compared to Liu Bei. Cao Cao had nothing to justify, but Xun Yu insisted on writing a defense book, claiming that this move was actually caused by the general's persecution, and he had no intention of rebelling against the Son of Heaven. The result, of course, is ...... And then the eggs.

Liu Biao didn't know what to do now, he wanted to respond to the call of the imperial court and send Cao Liu out of the country to clear up the relationship, but he was afraid that it would be self-defeating, but it would lead Cao Liu to fight each other and repeat the story of Zhang Ji. The most nerve-wracking thing is that at this time, the entire Yuzhou has been occupied by the Dragon Wolf Army, and there is no territory left in all directions, where to send Cao and Liu to them?

Just when Liu Biao was entangled, he suddenly got a report that Cao Liu came to visit.

Cao Cao and Liu Bei's visit was all because of a letter from Sun Quan.

At the end of September, a letter of alliance from Jiangdong can be described as a relief in the snow.

The alliance letter was sent by Sun Quan from Huiji, inviting Cao Liu to send troops from the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, while the Jiangdong Army sent troops from the lower reaches to attack Jiangxia Huangzu. Divide the land, collect its soldiers, take it as the foundation, and reject the horses.

Cao Cao and Liu Bei, who were desperate, were overjoyed, so they went to Xiangyang in person to meet Liu Biao secretly, and the two sides had a secret talk.

In mid-October, Liu Biao provided more than 300 large and small ships, and presented more than 8,000 soldiers of Cao and Liu, as well as nearly 10,000 people from Yuzhou, plus nearly 1,000 grains and grasses.

Direction, due south.

Target, Jiangxia.

Huang Zu was nominally a subordinate of Liu Biao, but in fact he was an independent force, and in recent years there has been a tendency to become more and more rebellious. Liu Biao wanted to beat Huang Zu more than once, but he also knew that Huang Zu was not easy to mess with, so he was worried and failed to make up his mind.

Now Cao Liu plans to go south to attack Huang Zu, Liu Biao is happy to see it, and most importantly, he finally sent the two "plague gods" away. It is worth losing hundreds of ships and tens of thousands of grains and grass for this.

Liu Biao sat back and watched Huang Zu being attacked, and even stepped on it secretly; Cao Cao and Liu Bei, two super small strongmen, led the last team, and crossed the river brazenly with the posture of a strong dragon, killing the head snake in Jiangxia; Sun Quan is the enemy of Huang Zu, if he has the opportunity to engage him, he has no chance to create a chance!

For a time, Huang Zu seemed to have become the world, uh, at least the public enemy of Jiangnan.

Why did Sun Quan send this letter to unite Cao Liu and attack Huang Zu? Very simply, he has been driven out of his lair by Tai Shici, and he has lost the second county, leaving only the last Huiji county to stay. And Huiji is near the sea, and Haiphong is like a sieve, and it is easy for Tai Shici to land on the beach again. If you don't create an opportunity and create a new place, you will eventually be doomed. At this time, Huang Zu also took advantage of the fire to rob, sent troops from Jiangxia, went down the Yangtze River, invaded Danyang, looted, and killed Jiangdong soldiers. This is also one of the reasons why Sun Quan lost Danyang County so quickly.

Now, the three wolves of the Three Kingdoms have set their sights on Huang Zu, the vicious dog, and are ready to forcibly occupy the "kennel", using this as a foundation to compete with Ma Qiang. (To be continued......)
