Cao Cao retreated until Longcheng, thirty miles away from Xingyang, before stopping.

With him, there are only about 50 elite guards, these people are his own private guards, this time, he will be loyal and have no problem with the people as personal soldiers, should be treated, but also different from ordinary soldiers, today's battle, really played an important role.

But the four generals under the account, Xiahou Xuan, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Ren, and Cao Hong, none of them came back at the moment, Cao Cao was very nervous, and he couldn't help but think in his heart, if none of the four of them came back, what should I do?

If this is the case, when he returns to Chenliu in the future, how should he face the parents and villagers of the Cao family and the Xiahou family.

As soon as he thought of this, his head ached faintly, and he couldn't help but grin and keep massaging his temples with his hands.

Fortunately, the torment did not last long, and he was rewarded by saying that someone had retreated.

He was so happy that he forgot to put on his shoes, and ran out of the door barefoot, and looked along the avenue with a pergola, where a group of people were riding horses, and under the reflection of the slanting sun, the dust raised was like an earth dragon, which did not disperse in the air for a long time.

The two people in front, looking at the size, should be Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan, Cao Cao was happy, but then, he was worried.

He was thinking, Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan brothers are back, so what about Cao Ren? Where are you now?

As for Cao Hong, Cao Cao subconsciously didn't dare to think about it.

The generals who lost their horses were chased by the enemy's elite cavalry, but I am afraid that they will be more auspicious and less auspicious.

"Mengde!"

"Mengde!"

Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan galloped over, and there were still dozens of steps away, that is, they shouted loudly.

Among the four of them, Cao Ren is the youngest, and the three of them are a few years different from Cao Cao, and they have been together since they were young, and they agree with each other that they are not in order of age, regardless of age or age, and they are all commensurate with each other.

Later, Cao Ren also joined in, and he still kept the agreement he made when he was a child.

Cao Cao put his worries about Cao Ren and Cao Hong behind him, piled up a smile on his face, stepped forward, and said continuously: "Okay, good, it's good to be back......

He didn't realize that his smile at this moment, in the eyes of Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan, was not much better than crying, especially when his eyes were full of tears, which made people feel that he was crying, not laughing.

"What about Zilian (PS: Cao Hongzi Zilian) and Zixiao (PS: Cao Ren Zixiao)?"

As soon as Xiahou Yuan's loud voice sounded, the sleeves of his shirt were torn a few times by Xiahou Yuan on the side, but he didn't expect the sleeves to be torn, so he pulled them so hard, and immediately snorted, and the entire sleeve was torn off by Xiahou Yuan.

However, Xiahou Yuan still realized this reminder, and immediately smiled, and explained resignedly: "This, Meng De, no...... Don't worry, the two of them, they will, Jiren has their own nature......"

Cao Cao nodded again and again, stood on tiptoe, reached out and patted Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Yuan on the shoulder, and said in a loud voice: "Okay, it's good if you can come back, let's go, go and rest first, let's wait for Zilian and Zixiao, and talk about how they escaped." “

Cao Cao was originally still a little worried about this defeat, but now he blurted out the word "escape", but his heart seemed to have unloaded a large package at once, originally always seemed to be pressed by heavy objects, but now he was inexplicably relaxed, and suddenly his feet were still sore, and he was much lighter.

The three of them returned to the room, ate and drank enough, washed and changed their clothes, and just after recounting the experience of the three people getting out of danger, the soldiers came again to report that someone was coming again.

Cao Cao and Xiahoudun jumped up, forgot to put on their shoes, and ran out barefoot, so anxious that Xiahou Yuan shouted repeatedly: "Wait for me, wait for me!" ”

This time it was Cao Ren who came back, his situation looked even more miserable than that of Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Yuan brothers, there were several injuries on his body, although the bleeding had stopped, but two of the injuries were quite deep, the skin and flesh were rolled, very terrifying, the cloak was scattered, and the people who followed him were only about a dozen people, and most of them were injured.

At this time, the sun had sunk in the west, the sunset was full of sky, as bright red as blood, Cao Cao's heart had been put down for the most part, and the remaining small half was still hanging in Cao Hong's place.

At this time, there were also remnants of the soldiers who retreated one after another, and they had no war horses to ride, so they could only rely on a pair of meat legs to hurry, so less than thirty miles, it still took a lot of effort.

Cao Cao's four people sat together, talking about the gains and losses of this battle, and talking about their future plans, and before they knew it, it was late at night.

Seeing that Cao Cao would lose his mind from time to time, Xiahou Xuan, Xiahou Yuan and Cao Ren all knew what was going on, but they didn't dare to persuade him to rest, so they could only try to talk about some light topics to attract Cao Cao's attention.

I don't know how long later, just when the three of them were about to lose their patience, there was a sudden commotion outside, and then the soldiers rushed in with rolling and crawling, and said: "Report, report, report......"

The four of them stared at each other, and they all stared at the soldiers, but he was panting and couldn't speak for a while, and when he came back to his senses, he found that Cao Cao and the four of them had rushed out of the door.

The night was dark, a fire dragon stretched out, and when it was closer, Cao Cao saw that it was Cao Hong who was the leader, and couldn't help but be overjoyed, and shouted: "Zilian ......"

Cao Cao was indeed overjoyed, he originally thought that Cao Hong was afraid that it would be difficult for the four of them to escape back, and then every time he escaped back, his mood was happy, and now Cao Hong also fled back, and he also collected a lot of remnants along the way, how not to make him overjoyed.

Cao Hong rushed back on foot, looking much more embarrassed than Cao Ren and the others, before he could speak, he was hugged by Cao Cao and scolded fiercely: "Your grandmother's, you are finally back, I am still worried that you will be left in Xingyang, okay, great, your grandmother's, are you injured?" ”

The Xiahou brothers and Cao Ren looked at each other, they all knew that Cao Cao relied on Cao Hong to let the horse in order to escape Lu Bu's pursuit safely, when they heard Cao Cao relay Cao Hong's angry scolding, they all laughed dumbly, and now when they heard Cao Cao burst here again, they all felt strange in their hearts.

But they all didn't say it in their hearts, but stuffed in their hearts, and when Cao Cao calmed down, Cao Hong begged Cao Cao with a bitter face: "Meng De, go back to Chenliu, you must not put it together like this, if grandma knows, she will have to pick my skin." ”

Cao Cao looked up at the four of them at the same time, and after a long time, they stopped, Cao Cao looked at the four of them one by one, and then cast his eyes into the dark night, his voice was low, and he said firmly: "After this battle, I understand that soldiers are expensive and not expensive." In addition, I vow to build a unique iron horse, the name is called Tiger and Leopard Ride! ”

"Good!"

Xiahoudun reacted the fastest, applauded loudly, and took the initiative to ask for help: "Meng De, leave this matter to me, I will definitely build a tiger and leopard cavalry for you that will not lose to Xiliang Jingqi and Bingzhou Jingqi!" ”

Xiahou Yuan, Cao Ren, and Cao Hong all stared at Xiahou Yuan with reproachful eyes, but he was the old god, and he didn't feel guilty at all, and the three of them hated itchy, but unfortunately such a good thing had been snatched by him, and then he went to rob him, but it was a little bit not too brotherly.

At this moment, the night is still as deep as ink, in the sky, the moonlight is still like water, the stars are like brocade, bright as before, and there is no change of color in the sky and the clouds, and the wind and clouds are thunderous.

But Cao Cao's determination was like a firm rock, and he never wavered.

Under the same night sky, Xingyang at this time was full of bonfires, and the entire city would burst into laughter and thunder from time to time.

The vanguard army that defeated the Kwantung rebels in World War I, the Xiliang Army, is indeed qualified to celebrate.

Since the cavalry general Li Dao led the troops out of Luoyang, he defeated Sun Jian, the fierce tiger in Jiangdong, in two battles, and beheaded his generals, forcing Yuan Shu to retreat without a fight and avoid fighting in Nanyang; The soldiers took Yingchuan without blood, forcing the Yingchuan coalition army to flee north in panic; Now in the battle of Xingyang, he defeated the 30,000 forward army of the coalition army, and once again severely frustrated the spirit of the Kwantung rebels.

There is no need to think about it, once the situation of this battle spreads all over the world, the momentum of the Kwantung rebels will inevitably be frustrated again.

It was the general Li Dao who rode the chariot and cavalry to order the army to be in Xingyang for three days, and the top and bottom celebrated together.

As soon as the feast dispersed, Lu Bu excused himself from fatigue and needed to rest, and hurried back to the camp where his army was.

In fact, he was rushing back to meet someone, to see an "old acquaintance".

After the defeat of Cao's army, he led his elite cavalry to look at Cao Cao and chased after him. At that time, he made up his mind that even if he wanted to chase him out for thirty miles, he must either behead or capture Cao Cao under his horse.

It's a pity that it backfired, and a famous general Zhu Jun came out halfway, and fortunately blocked his way, allowing Cao Cao to escape.

On the way back, he had nowhere to vent his anger, and when he saw the rout, he led his elite cavalry to a wall, and captured him without asking about it.

The result is really not to mention, it really made him catch a big fish that slipped through the net.

This big fish is the "old acquaintance" he wants to go back to see in a hurry, Dongjun Taishou Qiaomao.

After "waking up", Lü Bu's first battle in Luoyang was to sweep away the various departments, including Qiao Mao, and captured Qiao Mao at that time, and later Dong Zhuo died, Qiao Mao regained his freedom, returned to Dongjun, actively contacted the princes of all parties, and directly promoted the establishment of the Kwantung Alliance.

Therefore, if he is caught this time, if he is handed over to the imperial court, it will definitely be a great achievement, but in Lu Bu's mind, the value of Qiao Mao's existence is more important than the great achievement of the imperial court.

That's because of the beautiful sister flowers he has always been obsessed with - Big Joe and Little Joe.

Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao, in fact, are also surnamed Qiao, and now Lu Bu has been verified, the two daughters are Qiao Xuan's young daughters, and now they are about fifteen or sixteen years old, and in a few years, they will be mature beauties.

Qiao Mao was detained by Lu Bu near his residence, and Hou Cheng was sent to personally lead people to guard it, in order to prevent the news from leaking. When he arrived in a hurry, Hou Cheng greeted him and said in a low voice: "Envoy, that person is quite frank and upright, eating and drinking, not like a prisoner at all." ”

"Oh, good, that's good."

Lu Bu nodded, personally pushed open the door, stepped inside, behind him, Hou Cheng diligently closed the door for him, and personally led the guards to guard the door.

"Brother Qiao, it's been a long time! Don't come unharmed! ”

With a smile on his face, Lu Bu greeted Qiao Mao cordially and calmly, and sat down directly across from his desk.
