On the wilderness outside the north gate of Shouchun, dead bodies were lying everywhere.

To the north of the corpse, a team that looked very wolfish was rapidly disappearing into the tomb.

The mountains and cascading woods at night gave the team the best cover, and when they got into the forest, they didn't even have a hazy back.

After a battle, the defeated Cao army withdrew to Shouchun, while Pei Yuanshao led the Qin army into Xiangling.

The commanding soldiers were clearing the streets when a bloodied, wolf-looking soldier ran towards him.

Seeing the soldier running towards Cao Ren, the two personal soldiers standing behind Cao Ren hurriedly met him and stopped him.

"Ask him what?" Seeing the wolf appearance of the soldiers, Cao Ren suddenly felt uneasy in his heart, and hurriedly said a word to the two personal soldiers who stopped the soldiers.

The two pro-soldiers didn't speak, they didn't need to say anything at all, the blood-stained soldier had already heard Cao Ren's words.

"General Qiyu, our army encountered the Qin army in the north of the city and was killed and scattered by the Qin army!" Hearing Cao Ren's question, Cao Jun, who was covered in blood, hurriedly shouted.

Furrowing his brows and looking at the soldier, Cao Ren didn't say anything more, but his face had become very ugly.

The Qin army lost Shouchun, and the morale was supposed to be extremely low, with five thousand infantry lurking in the mountains and forests, intercepting head-on, and five thousand cavalry following closely behind, attacking from behind, no matter who it seems, this battle was a victory for the Cao army without any suspense.

But this is not the case, the Qin army, which has lost consecutive battles, actually achieved the only victory in the past few days after escaping from the north of the city!

Cao Ren led the army to capture Shouchun, and the soldiers and horses led by Tai Shici had just passed Xia Cai, and there were still dozens of miles away from Shouchun.

As he was leading the army forward, a scout who was exploring the way ahead rode his horse and galloped towards Tai Shici.

Before Tai Shici approached, the scout turned over and jumped off the horse, and said to him with a very panicked expression: "General Qiyu, I met Lu Wenhou in front of me, for some reason, Wen Hou didn't say a word, and threw his brothers to the ground, no matter what, I don't believe that we are reinforcements......"

Knowing that Shouchun was broken by Cao's army, Tai Shici didn't plan to go straight to Shouchun, but when he learned that Lu Bu appeared in front, he was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked the scout who reported the news: "Where is Wen Hou?" ”

"Just two miles ahead!" Turning back and pointing back, the scout answered.

"General Lingben is going!" Waving his hand at the scout, Tai Shi Ci squeezed his legs into the horse's belly and gave the scout a command.

The scout didn't dare to delay, hurriedly got on his horse, and ran towards the place where Lu Bu was found with Tai Shici and a team of personal soldiers.

The Cao army attacked Shouchun at night, and the Qin scouts only knew that Shouchun had been breached, but they did not see what was happening at night.

Knowing that Lu Bu even attacked his own scouts, Tai Shici thought that he was angry that the reinforcements were late, and he just wanted to find Lu Bu as soon as possible and talk to him clearly.

Following the scout to the place where Lu Bu was found, Tai Shici didn't see Lu Bu, turned his head to the scout and asked, "Where is Lu Wenhou?" ”

"It's still here." He didn't see Lu Bu, and the scout also felt a little incomprehensible, he looked around, but found no trace of Lu Bu, and muttered, "Why is it that even the overturned brother is gone?" ”

Tai Shi Ci and the others were looking for Lu Bu everywhere, when a loud shout suddenly came from the grove on the side, and then eight Qin troops wearing tattered armor jumped out of the woods, and the one who rushed to the front was still a general holding Fang Tian's halberd.

The generals who led the seven Qin soldiers to rush out were also covered with blood, and the blood stains on their bodies had long since dried up, and the original bright red color had now turned into a black and red.

These eight people rushed towards Tai Shi Ci and the others, Tai Shi Ci was just about to give the order to meet the enemy, but when he looked carefully at the general who led the people, he was stunned for a moment before shouting: "Wen Hou!" Why don't you know the old people! ”

With red eyes and Fang Tian Painting Halberd in both hands, Lu Bu was about to rush towards Tai Shi Ci when he heard his shout, so he stopped and looked at him.

was deceived by Cao Jun, Lu Bu was angry in his heart, seeing that another army came wearing Qin army armor, where would he believe that they were the real Qin army!

If it weren't for Tai Shi Ci shouting, Lu Bu wouldn't even look at him more, and he wouldn't have recognized him.

Seeing that it was really Tai Shi Ci who was almost attacked by them, Lu Bu stopped, raised an arm horizontally, and stopped the soldiers behind him.

"Why did Wen Hou even beat his own family? Could it be that the end of the rescue is too late? Lu Bu stopped, and before he could speak, Tai Shici had already asked first.

"Hey!" As soon as Tai Shici's words were asked, Lu Bu stabbed Fang Tian's halberd to the ground, sighed and said: "The general doesn't know, we are waiting to defend the city, and Cao Jun is actually pretending to be reinforcements and deceiving the city gate!" So much so that Shouchun was lost, and when he returned to Luoyang, how would he meet His Royal Highness......"

Knowing from Lu Bu that Cao Jun pretended to be reinforcements and deceived the city gate open, Tai Shici's eyes widened, and he scolded angrily: "Mother's Cao thief actually did such a thing!" ”

Although he was full of anger, Tai Shici did not say that he would lead the army to attack Shouchun.

He only had 20,000 troops under his command, and the number of Cao troops in the city was far more than them.

When he met the scouts earlier, Lu Bu didn't believe that they were the real Qin army, so he knocked the scouts to the ground.

However, Lu Bu also thought about it, if they were Cao Jun pretending to be fine, in case it was really reinforcements, it would be a trivial matter for his family to overturn his own family, and it would really hurt people's lives, and that would be a joke for Cao Jun.

With this kind of thinking in his heart, Lu Bu did not kill the captured scouts, but asked them to be tied up.

At this time, he already knew that those scouts were really soldiers under the command of Tai Shi Ci, and Lu Bu did not delay, and waved his hand at the seven personal soldiers behind him and said, "Go and let the people go!" ”

At Lü Bu's order, seven blood-stained and exhausted soldiers hurriedly complied, ran to the woods by the roadside, and released the scouts who had been bound and gagged by them.

Lu Bu and Tai Shici saw that Pei Yuanshao led the Qin army that escaped from Shouchun, and did not dare to delay at all, and withdrew all the way to the north under the cover of the mountains of Xiangling.

While he was on the way, a Qin soldier who was exploring the way in front of him quickly ran towards Pei Yuanshao.

Seeing the Qin soldier running over, before the soldier could stand firm, Pei Yuanshao had already asked in a low voice: "What's the matter?" Is there an enemy ahead? ”

"Ten miles ahead, there is a large army marching towards Shouchun!" Standing in front of Pei Yuanshao, the Qin soldiers clasped their fists and said: "They are wearing our army's clothes and armor, they haven't seen the general, and they don't know if it's the Cao army or our army!" ”

"How many centaurs?" Knowing that there was a large army marching towards Shouchun ahead, Pei Yuanshao hurriedly asked again.

"It looks like there should be more than 20,000 people!" Qin Bing, who reported to Pei Yuanshao, heard the question, first responded, and then said: "It stands to reason that the army should be led by the main general, but the villain waited for a while, and he didn't see the general, which is really a bit strange!" ”

After listening to the soldier's report, Pei Yuanshao furrowed his brows tightly, and instructed an officer behind him: "Our army has been frustrated for several days, although it has won a battle a few days ago, it is powerless to fight again!" Give the order to go down, be cautious when you advance, and don't alarm the army in front of you! In case it is Cao Jun pretending to be and there is another fight, I don't know how many soldiers are buried in the tomb! ”

"No!" The officer answered, and then conveyed Pei Yuanshao's order to the whole army.

Although he had ordered the whole army to be cautious, Pei Yuanshao was still a little stumbling on the army that appeared in front.

Daqin's army has always been the main general at the forefront of the expedition, and who leads the army can be seen at a glance, even if Liu Wei personally goes out to fight, this habit has always been maintained.

A Qin army without a main general really made Pei Yuanshao feel a little suspicious.

In fact, the soldiers who also complained about the news told the army in front of Pei Yuanshao that there was no main general, and when the soldiers found out that the Qin army was reinforcing the troops, Tai Shi Ci was leading a team of personal soldiers to see Lu Bu.

The two phases were delayed, and the Qin army that withdrew from Shouchun City actually missed the reinforcements led by Tai Shici.

Tai Shi Ci saw Lu Bu, and the two led the soldiers and horses to the vicinity of Shouchun to find the Qin army that had withdrawn from the city, and did not mention it, but only said Liu Wei in Luoyang City.

Five or six days after the Battle of Shouchun, Liu Wei got the news that Han Xian and Yu Yu died in battle.

Earlier, Liu Wei went on an expedition and never lost a general on the battlefield, Hu Cai and Yang Feng did not die on the real battlefield, but in this battle, the Qin army lost two generals in a row.

Liu Wei didn't feel a pity for the loss of the city, but when he heard that the two generals had died on the battlefield, he was stunned.

Sitting in the front hall, Liu Wei frowned, staring at the table in front of him.

"Peng!" With a heavy fist on the low table, Liu Wei didn't speak, but the muscles on his cheeks were twitching violently.

In the front hall, there were many people sitting, and Xu Shu and other advisers were among them.

The battle that took place in Shouchun was not so much a head-to-head confrontation between two powerful armies as a secret contest between strategists.

The four strategists under Liu Wei can't fight Guo Jia in front of Cao Cao's account!

Xu Shu and the others, who knew the relationship, looked at Liu Wei, all of them were ashamed, and no one dared to say a word.

"A thousand troops are easy to get, but one will be hard to find!" Looking around at the people in the hall, Liu Wei said with pathos in his tone, and said to everyone: "In the first battle of Shouchun, our army actually lost two generals in a row!" ”

"Two generals!" Everyone in the hall still didn't say anything, and Liu Wei accentuated his tone again, almost roaring and roaring.

When he shouted, "Two generals, everyone sitting in the hall bowed their heads, and everyone's hearts were filled with a heavy sense of shame!"
