As soon as Li Meng's words fell, Wang Fang didn't have time to say anything, when he suddenly heard the hoarse roar of his sergeant. "Oh no! There was a fire in the back, and it was in the direction of the camp! ”

In an instant, Xu Rong's whole face turned white, and he glanced back at the firelight in the distance, and quickly figured out the cause and effect. Seeing the commotion of the soldiers, he couldn't care much anymore, and suddenly shouted: "Wang Fang, you take 5,000 people to cushion the back, fight against Cao Cao, and fight and retreat." Li Meng will follow me to bring the army back to help and try to recapture the camp! ”

"No!" Although Li Meng and Wang Fang were dizzy now, they also knew that the situation was urgent, and they did not dare to slack off, so they acted according to the order.

But where would Wang Xu give them that kind of opportunity, after Xu Rong led the troops to attack, he had already quickly lurked near the enemy camp. When Liu Bei led the army to arrive, he didn't say a word, and directly launched a surprise attack.

At this moment, Xu Rong's camp was only 5,000 weak soldiers, and Xu Rong himself had already led the main army to battle, and when he saw the army coming from the night, he panicked in an instant. I don't know what happened. His main general went to meet the main force of the enemy, so where did the main army that suddenly appeared here come from?

Not to mention that the soldiers were puzzled, even the left-behind generals were extremely confused and terrified. I don't know if my main force was defeated, or if I fell for the other party's tricks, or if the other party came with a large number of reinforcements! But in any case, it is a fact that it was attacked by surprise, and it is also a fact that it was besieged by a large army. Although the left-behind young generals had organized the soldiers to resist for the first time, they had no bottom in their hearts. The dark night added to everyone's worries.

If the night attack is carried out at such a favorable time, and the large battalion garrisoned by the weak brigade with only 5,000 panicked troops cannot be captured, then there is really no need to fight, and it is wiser to withdraw all the troops and go home to pick up the children. Wang Xu himself also personally put on the battle, striving to break through the enemy camp as quickly as possible.

The generals of all roads are even more brave, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Li Dian, Zhao Yun, Dian Wei, Gao Shun, Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, etc., almost competing side by side, doing their best, for fear of falling behind. And they led the elite soldiers and horses to open the way. The army behind also roared and rushed into the enemy camp. Burning and killing along the way, wanton destruction.

As long as those generals dared to stand up and organize resistance, the forward generals almost rushed over and killed them with one move. Although Wang Xu did not compete with the generals, he also easily killed the two young generals who were yelling in formation. As a result, the enemy camp could hardly form an effective resistance. In less than a quarter of an hour, he was killed by everyone. None of the remaining garrison generals dared to organize resistance, and fled one after another, not to mention the soldiers, in the chaos, they could not find the flag, and they could not hear the roar of the generals. No matter what it is, they scattered and fled.

However, Wang Xuke did not stop because of this, and sent Zhou Zhi and Song Qian to lead the troops to the palace, collect materials, and clean up the battlefield. He continued to lead the army to chase and kill with Liu Bei, rushed across the stone arch bridge at the fastest speed, and killed on the west bank of the Bishui River.

At this time, Xu Rong's cavalry had just arrived, and the infantry was still in the rear. Seeing that his troops were not in a position. Wang Xu will not give up such a good opportunity. Immediately commanded all units to meet the attack.

At this moment, Xu Rong's camp has been lost. Soldiers are like rootless wanderers, losing their foothold, and there is interception in front, and then chasing soldiers, morale is scattered, soldiers have no fighting spirit, where is there still the power to resist. A few charges were completely routed, and they fled westward.

The defeat was like a mountain, and Xu Rong, who was in the middle of the army, no matter how powerful he was, had no power to return to the sky, and saw that the army quickly collapsed. Wang Fang, Li Meng and others were also scattered. couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh a few times, so he could only lead his cronies to flee to the west path. Wang Xu had the intention of capturing him alive, and when he caught a glimpse of Xu Rong's figure, he quickly handed over the command to Liu Bei, and took Zhao Yun, Dian Wei, Xu Huang, Zhang Liao, the Guards and Yanyun Iron Cavalry, and chased after Xu Rong.

It's a pity that there are too many rebels, and the sky is relatively dark, so I chased him for a while, but I lost his trace, and in desperation, I had no choice but to give up.

After continuing to chase for seven or eight miles, it was already deep into the enemy's territory. Because he was worried that the guards of the revolving gate behind him would gather troops and horses to meet him when they heard that Xu Rong had been defeated, Wang Xu did not dare to chase after him, and asked the soldiers to clean up the battlefield along the way, collect the spoils, and slowly retreat.

Before dawn, Wang Xu finally urged the last group of soldiers and horses to withdraw to the camp. With a wave of his hand, he handed the fire dragon spear to the guards who followed him, stretched out his somewhat tired hands and feet, and then led the generals to slowly walk towards the big tent of the Chinese army. But when he arrived, after a few polite words with Liu Bei, he didn't find Cao Cao, and even Xiahoudun and Le Jin didn't come back.

Immediately, I couldn't help but wonder: "Huh? What about Mende? As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Cao Cao's subordinate generals, only to find that their faces were full of worry.

Hearing Wang Xu's inquiry, they all sighed, and after a while, Xiahou Yuan replied: "General Hui, the lord has not returned to the camp yet, only my brother has come back before." However, seeing that the lord had not yet arrived, he had already led his troops out to look for him. ”

"Huh?" Hearing this, Wang Xu was even more puzzled. "What's going on? Wasn't Meng De with Yuan Rang? Why did Yuan Rang come back, but Meng De didn't come back? ”

Hearing this, Cao Cao's generals sighed and did not speak again.

Liu Bei took over and said: "I have already asked about this, when we defeated Xu Rong's army, Meng De sent General Xiahoudun to lead the troops to chase and kill, and he took General Lejin to the west by taking the path, I don't know what I wanted." Before General Xiahoudun came back, he didn't see Meng De, so he led his troops to look for it. ”

Hearing this, Wang Xu was a little silent. A terrible thought suddenly flashed in his mind: If Cao Cao died like this......

But Xuan even shook his head violently, shaking the thought away. Cao Cao couldn't die so easily, not to mention that it was impossible in the case of such a big victory, even if he had a heart to calculate him, the success rate was very small. A person of his kind of character will definitely leave a way out for himself in advance. As for secretly killing it, it's pure child's play, not to mention that he is always accompanied by fierce generals, and there are so many people everywhere that they can't be implemented.

Besides, even if it succeeds, it doesn't do any good. Many of the princes are not good at fighting, but it is a matter of managing the government and investigating the case. Not to mention putting your life into it, your reputation will plummet and you will lose the hearts of the world. I'm afraid that even my subordinates won't understand, after all, now they are also comrades-in-arms who are begging Dong, and without raising disputes, killing people by such means can be described as a great evil. What's more, they are still well-known friends in the world, can they say to their subordinates that I am because I want to rebel, Cao Cao's friend is too powerful, and he may rebel in the future. So get rid of it first. Let's go kill him!

I'm afraid that the betrayal of relatives is not far away, and everyone is afraid that one day they will be killed like this......

Quickly shook off the evil thoughts that suddenly rose in his head, and Wang Xu also quickly raised his head. "You don't have to worry, Meng De is wise, and there is not much danger, I think there should be some calculation! But in case of accidents. I don't think it's as good as this, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Ren, Cao Hong, the three of you each take a thousand men and horses to search, and you must find the trace of Meng De. ”

"No!" At this moment, Wang Xu is the commander in the army, and the three of them have the heart to find Cao Cao and get this order. Without saying a word, he stood up suddenly.

At this moment, Cao Cao's hearty laughter suddenly came from outside the tent. "Hahaha...... Thank you Ziyang for your concern, you don't have to move the people, you have returned safely! ”

Hearing this, the generals immediately looked happy and turned their heads away. I saw Cao Cao taking Xiahoudun and Le Jin into the big tent quickly.

"Lord!" Cao Cao's generals. Immediately he responded excitedly.

Liu Bei smiled slightly. I couldn't help but ask with concern: "Meng De doesn't know where he went, it really makes everyone miss it!" ”

"Huh!" Cao Cao smiled. was also a little moved, and arched his hand and said: "Thank you Xuande for worrying, I expected that the enemy would be in chaos at that time, so I set up an ambush on the side road in advance, intending to intercept the deserter's way, hit his army spirit again, and make it difficult to regroup!" ”

"Mengde! Mengde, you really leave no room for soldiers! Hearing Cao Cao's words, Wang Xu couldn't help but praise, it was not easy to think about these calmly at that time.

"Hahaha! Ziyang has won the prize. Fu Xu glanced at Wang Xu with a smile, but Cao Cao suddenly said: "Ziyang, but I really have an unexpected gain this time." Moreover, your wish was taken by me! ”

"Huh? My wish? Wang Xu was stunned for a moment.

"Hahaha! Why should you hide it from me, since the beginning of the army, I have never seen you take the initiative to ask for battle. With your temperament, this expedition against Xu Rong must have some schemes, and you are neither greedy for merit nor fame, the only explanation is for Xu Rong. Speaking of this, Cao Cao looked at Wang Xu with a smile and asked, "Is what I said right?" ”

Wang Xu was slightly stunned, but then he couldn't help but laugh and scolded: "What a Cao Mengde, he actually exposed my shortcomings in public." As he spoke, he suddenly reacted and exclaimed, "You caught Xu Rong?" ”

"Hahaha! Precisely. Cao Cao was obviously very happy, and he didn't intend to hide Wang Xu, and said bluntly: "Ziyang, although I know that you have the heart to accept it, but I happened to be caught, and you can only snatch love with a horizontal knife, and your subordinates are full of talents, so you shouldn't mind!" ”

Although he really wants to get Xu Rong, after so many years of experience, Wang Xu already has a broad mind. Now that Cao Cao has preemptively obtained it, and has come to explain it to himself bluntly, his behavior has the honesty of a friend. Of course, he didn't care about such trivial matters as this, and immediately waved his hand and smiled: "Since Brother Meng De has caught it, of course there is nothing to say in the next place, how can it be reasonable?" ”

After speaking, he looked at Cao Cao narrowly, and said in a long voice: "It's just...... If you want to subdue this person, I'm afraid ...... It's not that simple, is it? ”

This time, Cao Cao frowned, shook his head and said with a wry smile: "This is true, I persuaded him several times, but he refused to listen, and he has been detained and returned to the camp." ”

But as soon as he finished speaking, Cao Cao confidently continued: "However, as long as you give me some time, there should be no problem in subduing this person." ”

"Hehe, then I wish you success!" Smiling, Wang Xu didn't want to continue to talk about this matter, and instead asked: "Then what will I do next, will the troops enter the revolving gate, or go back to join the princes?" ”

Hearing this, Cao Cao also put away his smile and thought about it solemnly, but he was not busy making a decision, but looked at Liu Bei and said, "Xuande, what do you think?" ”

"In my opinion, it is better to join the princes." Saying that, Liu Bei had already added: "The Revolving Gate Pass is a Xiong Pass, and it is in the southwest of the Tiger Prison Pass, if you have not discussed it with the princes, and the lone army is deep, I am afraid it will be difficult to succeed." ”

This is true, Wang Xu and Cao Cao couldn't help but nod. Seeing that there was no objection, Wang Xu, as the nominal coach, laughed loudly: "Since this is the case, then everyone should go back to the camp to rest first, and when the spirit is sufficient, I will pack up later, divide the spoils, and retire from the tiger prison!" ”

Wang Xu, Cao Cao, and Liu Bei joined forces, and in just over ten days, with less than 20,000 people, they defeated Xu Rong's 40,000 soldiers and horses, and captured Xu Rong, who had twice broken the alliance of princes, which immediately caused a great shock. Breaking the Yellow Turban, the young general of Jingnan, after two years of silence, his prestige has reappeared, and his demeanor has not diminished. And the prestige of Cao Cao and Liu Bei is also soaring and enjoys a high reputation.

At the same time, Dong Zhuo, who was pressed in the Tiger Prison, was furious, Xu Rong was the general he picked up, and he had high hopes for breaking the alliance of the princes twice this time. He was sent to garrison on the east bank of Bishui because he believed in his ability, so as to use it as a force to contain the alliance of princes, and also to defend the road to the revolving gate. Now this sudden defeat not only made his heart ache and love to be captured, but also exposed the revolving gate pass in the southwest of Luoyang in front of the princes.

This revolving gate pass is not only another gateway to Luoyang, but also guards the rear of the Tiger Pass, once lost, the princes can cut off the supply line of the Tiger Pass, and even march into Luoyang.

Therefore, Dong Zhuo obeyed Li Rujian and transferred 20,000 soldiers and horses from the Tiger Prison Pass to the revolving gate to strengthen the garrison. On the other hand, he urged Lu Bu, a fierce general, to call battle outside the princes' camp every day, hoping to use superior troops and fierce future to fight head-on in the traditional way, so as to achieve victory.

In fact, I can't say whether his tactics are right or wrong, if he uses a strategy, he may not be able to play some people in the princes, and he will only be played to death little by little.

And this kind of frontal traditional decisive battle, the princes are not afraid. When Wang Xu, Cao Cao, and Liu Bei rushed back and eliminated the threat of Xu Rong in the south, the princes finally slowly removed the war-free cards hanging high......
