Man Zhong looked at Cao Cao and said: "Lord, stay in the green mountains, don't be afraid of no firewood, we don't need to compete with Xu Ji for a while, after returning to Jiangdong, we can still make great achievements after recuperation." ”

Cao Cao nodded, looked at Xu Ji not far away, nodded and said: "We will retreat, now our army is fighting in three places, Mao Jie is responsible for the break, and the three cities of Huaiyin, we can't fight here, the future is long, the road is difficult, we must be careful." ”

After a pause, Cao Cao remembered something and said: "By the way, what about Xu Chu's kid" Cao Cao flashed behind him, and said in a deep voice: "Tell the lord, General Xu Chu and Xu Ji were unfortunately injured in the fight, and now he is ...... in the back."

Cao Cao and the others couldn't help but cry out in surprise when they heard this: Xu Chu is injured? It was so unexpected. Xu Chu, an invincible warrior who was undefeated in Jiangdong, would actually be injured, even if the opponent was Xu Ji, it was a little unacceptable to them.

And at the same time, he actually let Xu Jilian kill the twenty yuan generals in Cao Cao's army, including Pan Zhang, a rising star who Cao Cao had high hopes for. It's really shocking. This Xu Ji really deserves to be the god of war in Yanzhou, and he hasn't been on the battlefield for a long time, but as soon as he enters the battlefield, he will be powerful.

Lu Su said: "General Zhang Kai, can you make it clear."

Zhang Kai reported the process of Xu Ji and Xu Chu to everyone. Everyone looked at each other when they heard this, but no one said that Xu Ji was opportunistic, after all, the strength of martial arts itself includes the problem of wisdom.

But after Xu Chu was injured, problems followed, and Cao Cao was about to withdraw his army, but Xu Chu was injured. In this case, who will do the work after the break? It is not an easy thing to stop Xu Ji.

Mao Jie, who was beside Cao Cao, slowly spoke: "Lord." This matter is very bad, Xu Ji is the kind of person who can improve the morale of the army with the strength of one person. Characters who change the landscape of a battlefield. Now that General Xu Chu is injured, no one in our army can stop Xu Ji, and it seems that our army should be careful when retreating."

Lu Su said to Cao Cao in a deep voice: "General Mao Jie's words are reasonable, please leave Lu Su and a team of men and horses to block Xu Ji." Cao Cao looked at Lu Su and hesitated: "Military division, Xu Ji is brave and unparalleled, although the military division is in the sky, but it is too dangerous to fight with Xu Ji." After all, it's not a matter of advice."

Lu Su smiled proudly and said, "Lord, please rest assured, although Xu Ji is powerful." I also admit that I can't do anything about it, but to block Xu Ji's pursuit, I, Lu Su, still have this certainty. ”

Cao Cao looked at Lu Su and knew that Lu Su had this ability, but if he cared, he was chaotic. Of course, I don't worry about Lu Su personally getting into danger, if Lu Su encounters an accident, Cao Cao will definitely be heartbroken. But now the situation is critical. If Lu Su didn't stay to stop Xu Ji. Cao Cao also had no other good way to block Xu Ji for a while. Lu Su knew the contradiction in Cao Cao's heart, so he said confidently: "My lord, please make a decision as soon as possible." Xu Ji is now close at hand, and the lord must not hesitate. The so-called late is changing. ”

Cao Cao gritted his teeth and said to Lu Su: "In this way, Lu Su, you have to be careful." Then he turned his head to look at Zhang Kai and Li Tong, and said solemnly: "You two stay to assist Lu Su's military division." After all, Mr. Lu Su is a scholar, and he is not good at battlefield battles, and it depends on the two of you to charge into battle. One qiē be careful. Zhang Kai nodded and agreed, but Li Tong said proudly: "Lord, please rest assured." As long as the two of us are here, Mr. Lu Su's safety will be guaranteed. Unless you die on the battlefield. To repay the Lord! ”

Cao Cao and Lu Su glanced at each other when they heard this, and saw each other's surprise: this Li Tong had not been in Cao Cao's long time, and he soon emerged in Cao Cao's army, but his talent was more in leading troops, and this person was also recommended by Cao Ren to Cao Cao, and asked this person to serve as a commander by Cao Cao's side, but he was sent to guard the city because no one was stationed in Huaiyin, but he didn't expect that this Li Tong still had such talent, and he could see at a glance the purpose of Cao Cao leaving the two of them. It seems that when he returns to Jiangdong in the future, he will have to reuse this Li Tong.

Just thinking about it, there was a person standing up behind him, it was Ding Feng who was vomiting blood by Xu Jizhen, this immortal boy had once again sat on the horse in full spirit, and said to Cao Cao: "Please leave Ding Feng behind the lord to repay Xu Ji's great shame on his subordinates just now." Cao Cao looked at this Ding Feng, and was surprised again in his heart, how handsome Jiangdong is, Zhang Kai is good, this Ding Feng is even more talented, obviously he has been defeated in the hands of Xu Ji once, and he is injured, but now he takes the initiative to ask for help, this courage is really rare. In the past, he took a lot of precautions against Jiangdong people, thinking that the Jiangdong family was not credible, and he underestimated the talents of Jiangdong. Thinking of this, Cao Cao was ambitious, and said to Lu Su: "In this way, this place will be handed over to Lu Su and the other four, I hope you will be unscathed before you return." ”

"Lord, please leave me behind!" A heroic voice came, Cao Cao and the others were overjoyed when they heard it, and they could know that the person who came was Xu Chu who was injured by Xu Ji! As soon as Cao Cao turned around, he saw that Xu Chu had already ridden to his side, and his eyes were red with excitement, and he whimpered a little: "Xu Chu, I am very relieved to see that you are safe and sound." ”

Xu Chu has always been in awe of his lord, and Cao Cao gave him the impression that he was absolutely calm at all times, and now Cao Cao's appearance of true feelings Xu Chu has never seen it at all, and he was shocked in his heart, and said in a low voice: "The lord ......" and did not dare to speak again. I'm afraid that if I say anything more, I'll cry. The boy has tears and does not flick, but he has not reached the sad place.

Cao Cao looked at Xu Chu, whose eyes were red, and said with a smile: "Xu Chu, you don't need you here, you should go back to Jiangdong with me immediately." ”

Xu Chu shook his head and said, "The lord doesn't have to persuade me, what is a little injury?" Xu Ji is just a secret arrow to hurt people, if it is a head-to-head fight, how can he hurt me so easily? Hmph, if you want my life, it's even more foolish, even if I'm dead. It will be difficult for Xu Ji to use a gun again in his life! Then he hugged his fist at Cao Cao and said: "Please also ask the lord to leave me to assist Lu Su's military division, Xu Chu will definitely live up to his mission." ”

Cao Cao looked at Xu Chu and found that his shoulders had been bandaged. But the blood on his arm was still oozing, although it had a tendency to coagulate. But it's still not suitable for exertion, let alone combat. It is necessary to stop it. But Xu Chu had a firm gaze, showing the courage to fight Xu Ji to the death today. Cao Cao knew that he could not be dissuaded. I can only look at Lu Su and hope that Lu Su can come up with a way. Lu Su smiled on the side: "Lord, my subordinates were originally not very sure that they wanted to stop Xu Ji, but with General Xu Chu here, this matter would be much easier." ”

Cao Cao Wan didn't expect that Lu Su would actually agree to Xu Chu to stay. Hearing this, he couldn't help but be stunned, but Xu Chu was overjoyed and said: "Thank you for the success of the military advisor!" Cao Cao was a little embarrassed, but Lu Su said in a deep voice: "Lord, please listen to me: if General Xu Chu goes with the lord." My task of blocking here is bound to be very difficult. And if it fails, Xu Jidao will hit with his tail. If this is the case. Didn't General Xu Chu fight to the death when he arrived? I'm afraid it's more auspicious than now, but if General Xu Chu stays, I can use General Xu Chu to make some form. Xu Ji did not dare to pursue desperately in a short period of time. With General Xu Chu here, the four of us, the lord and General Xu Chu are safer. Cao Cao suddenly realized when he heard this, and saw that Lu Su's eyes were flashing with a scheming divine light, and his heart was full of joy at the moment, and he nodded and said, "In this way, let's do what Lu Su said." ”

Lu Su looked at Cao Cao and said indifferently: "Lord, please rest assured, we can divide our troops into two ways when we retreat." The lord went south to meet General Ling Cao and quickly went south, there was also General Li Dian who was wandering outside, which would definitely be a great help to the lord, and I would stay to meet Cao Ren, Le Jin, and Mr. Mao Jie, who came later. At that time, wouldn't it be better for me and Mr. Mao Jie to give advice? If it comes to charging into battle, General Xu Chu, Xiahou Yuanrang, Xiahou Miaocai, and Cao Zixiao are all enemies. What is the Lord worried about? Lu Su nodded Cao Cao again and again. Then he said: "Okay, Lu Su will hand over all the edges here to you." ”

Lu Su nodded solemnly. He asked Cao Cao to retreat quickly.

Xu Chu stopped Cao Cao and said, "Lord, please leave your mount 'Claw Huang Feidian'." When necessary, Xu Chu must not suffer Xu Ji's loss in this item. Cao Cao was stunned when he heard this, looked at Xu Ji, and saw at first glance that in the army of ten thousand horses, Xu Ji's hoofed horse, which seemed to be extremely powerful, stepped on the snow. Immediately understood what Xu Chu meant, and hurriedly smiled: "Xu Chu, you say a lot, this war horse will be your Xu Chu's mount from now on, I hope you can use the 'Claw Yellow Flying Lightning' to defeat Xu Ji!"

Xu Chu generously complied. At this time, Cao Cao's army quickly divided into two parts under the repeated orders, one part followed Cao Cao and left, while the other part regrouped and prepared for battle.

Xu Ji had already noticed this change, so he said loudly: "Cao Mengde, don't you say a few words when you see me, Xu Ji, the old man?" Although he was in the midst of thousands of troops, Xu Ji's voice still reached Cao Cao's ears clearly. Cao Cao felt a feeling in his heart when he heard this, and his interaction with Xu Ji was vividly like a projection in his heart, and he couldn't help but stop his war horse, turned his head to look at Xu Ji, who was in the posture of a dragon and phoenix, and shouted: "Xu Wenlie, here and now, this situation, you and I see each other as if we don't see each other, if there is a fate in the future, I will definitely invite you to my Jiangdong as a guest!" ”

Xu Ji shouted when he heard this: "Cao Mengde is quick to talk, but it is better to choose a day than to hit the day, today is a day and a different party, I, Xu Ji, are waiting for Brother Cao Mengde in Chang'an and I don't know when it will be, why not talk about it today?" When Cao Cao heard this, he knew that he couldn't take advantage of Xu Ji's tongue, so he smiled and said: "Lord Yake is coming to work, you and I are facing each other with swords and swords." It's not hospitality, so let's say goodbye today and see you later. ”

Xu Ji laughed and said, "Does Cao Mengde also have a time when he is out of words?" Your Excellency is not to drive in Yangzhou, and now you come to Xuzhou to fight, and you actually say that you are the master, to put it bluntly, it is nothing more than a dove standing in the magpie's nest, which is really a big joke in the world, and it is even more ridiculous. Cao Cao was speechless, and Lu Su did laugh loudly: "Xu Wenlie actually knows that the dove occupies the magpie's nest, so to speak." Although Tao Qian has been buried underground for a long time, Huangquan knows and should be happy. ”

Xu Ji was furious when he heard this, and before he could speak, he said again: "Lord, please leave." Leave me, a servant, to give thanks to the Lord. ”

Cao Cao laughed and rode away. Where is Xu Ji willing to let him go, he has to catch up. But when he saw that a member of Lu Su's side was prancing on his horse, it was Xu Chu who was slandered by himself, and he was not surprised: "Xu Chu!" ”

Xu Chuxin had been holding back a fire for a long time, and when he heard the sound, he immediately rode out, forgetting that Xu Ji said sharply: "Xu Ji's secret arrow hurts people." What a hero! Can you dare to fight Xu Chu for 300 rounds? He spoke with a lot of energy. He didn't look hurt at all, but he was born inhuman. Although Xu Ji was surprised, Xu Chu was brave and brave. But I was only slightly surprised in my heart. smiled slightly: "Your Excellency is really a hero who can't be killed." It is worthy of the name of 'Evil Tiger'. But it seems that Your Excellency was shot and wounded by me while chasing me Xu Ji and being flanked back and forth by others, right? Why did it turn out that I was plotting against Your Excellency for so long? ”

Xu Chu looked up to the sky and smiled, and then said expressionlessly: "It's all nonsense." If you have the guts, you will come out and fight Xu Chu for 300 rounds! Xu Ji also looked up to the sky and laughed: "Your Excellency is not carried away by the blood. Three hundred rounds? How many rounds can Your Excellency take under my defense of the enemy?"

Xu Chu snorted coldly, grabbed his armor with his hand, and tore half of his armor to pieces, and said proudly to Xu Ji: "Even if Xu Chu can only use one arm, you Xu Ji is helpless!" Xu Ji, do you recognize me stepping off this war horse? This war horse is my lord's mount 'Claw Huang Feidian', and now the lord has stayed, just so that I can deal with you Xu Ji, Xu Ji, you should understand my mind!" In the sun. Xu Chu's bloody arm was exposed, although Xu Chu had stopped the blood, but the blood marks left behind were still shocking to the audience.

The soldiers of Cao Cao's army cheered when they saw this, and the morale of the army rose rapidly in an instant.

Xu Ji sighed in his heart: he had lost a great opportunity to pursue Cao Cao behind. One Lu Su and one Xu Chu smashed their intentions. Of course, Xu Ji knew that Xu Chu was seriously injured now, and his martial arts had greatly decreased, but if Xu Chu and himself worked hard, even if he took Xu Chu, he was afraid that he would be seriously injured, and at this time, he would definitely not be able to fall.

Who knows how powerful this Xu Chu is from a different person? Look at the wound. It is clear that the blood is quickly condensed and no longer flows, which means that the platelets in Xu Chu's blood have a strong repair effect on abnormal people, and his current condition is clear to him, and he is definitely not suitable for fighting with people for a long time. Although his realm is higher than Xu Chu, he is weaker than his body. And now if Xu Chu has to do it with himself, it may not necessarily be a completely passive situation. Looking at Cao Cao's retention of Claw Huang Feidian, you can know that Xu Chu does have the determination to fight to the death with him.

Moreover, Xu Chu's deterrent effect on the Yanzhou Army was also reflected at this time. It was indeed shocking for the Yanzhou army to see with his own eyes that this big man who was seriously injured by Xu Ji was actually full of vigor and wanted to fight Xu Ji again. What's more, this Xu Chu and Xu Ji have fought many times. Although it fell behind, Xu Ji's helplessness against it was obvious to all, so the rising momentum of the Yanzhou army couldn't help but suffocate. What's more, there is also a Lu Su, this person is amazingly talented, and now after staying and breaking off, he may not be able to gain much.

However, Xu Ji will definitely not let go of the pursuit.

So, not long after Cao Cao left, Xu Ji and Lu Su played a game of cat and mouse. After this, Cao Cao's army quickly moved to Huai'an to join Ling Cao, who was fighting with the Yanzhou army, while Lu Su commanded Cao Cao's army to fight and retreat, and soon came to the outside of Huaiyin City to join Cao Ren's army. Although Xu Chu did not fight with Xu Ji, the suppression of Xu Ji's army was still very obvious, and the talents of Mao Jie, Zhang Kai, and Ding Feng were still very prominent, at least much stronger than Liu Bi, Yu Man, and Gong Du under Xu Ji, so that Xu Ji did not dare to send people to pursue him.

At the same time, Cao Cao's army, which was harassing the Yanzhou army in Yandu City, also began to retreat and join Lusu. Although these two cities did not fight with the Yanzhou army for a long time, but there were great casualties, although Cao Ren was not afraid of Guan Hai, and with Lu Su's prior instructions, he was old and serious in doing things, so that Xun You's various tricks still made Cao Ren tired, and even some were suspicious.

Fortunately, Lu Su was prepared in advance, so that Cao Ren did not suffer a big loss.

As for Li Tongze, he and Ji Ling fought on a par, because the Yanzhou army under Ji Ling was the original surrender army under Yuan Shu, so it was naturally not as good as the ordinary Yanzhou army in training, so it was not much cheaper than Ji Ling's subordinates. Subsequently, the army of Mao Jie, who had been in charge of the broken post, also quickly rushed to Huaiyin City. The two armies will reconcile, and their strength will be greatly increased.

At this time, the battle of Xuzhou between Xu Ji and Cao Cao also reached its climax. (To be continued......)
