"Thank you General Lu for your concern, the crime will be because he wants to persuade General Deng Ai to join the Cheng Celestial Empire, and there was a little misunderstanding in the middle, so there will be some results." Cai Yang didn't dare to lie, so he told everything that had just happened, and at the same time stretched out his hand and pointed to Deng Ai, who was already tied up by the soldiers.

At this moment, Deng Ai was knocked off because of the fight, his helmet was knocked off, his long hair had long been scattered, and he was slightly injured during the fight, and there were a few more wounds with blood on his body, which looked a little embarrassed.

"Is he Deng Ai?" As soon as he heard this name, Lu Bu was still a little happy, this was the person that Emperor Zhang Chao wanted. Now that this person can be captured, it is naturally a great achievement.

"Yes, General Lu, this person is Deng Ai, he doesn't agree to surrender to the Celestial Empire, and he still wants to obstruct it." At this moment, Cai Yang will not forget to add fuel to the fire, he didn't kill this person just now, he just wanted to leave it to Lu Bu, in his opinion, this is a good time for the general of the Celestial Empire to establish his authority, and I believe that the other party will definitely be able to understand what he means.

Sure enough, after hearing the sound of confirmation, Lu Bu nodded, and then said to the soldiers behind him: "Go, you take Deng Ai over, and then send someone to protect and send it to Jinyang City." ”

Lu Bu really took Deng Ai, but he didn't kill him immediately, but said that he would send him back to Jinyang City, which was a bit of a surprise to Cai Yang, but he then put this matter aside, he did it in order to make meritorious service to himself, that is, the goal has been achieved, so whether Deng Ai is dead or alive is what it matters to him.

Deng Ai was captured, Cai Yang surrendered, so far nearly 150,000 Wei troops all became prisoners, this battle, Lu Bu won a complete victory with almost no losses.

At this moment, Cao Ren, who was fighting bloodily in the front, did not know about the surrender of Cai Yang in the rear, if he had known earlier, he would have beheaded this person. Of course, even if he knows now, there is nothing he can do, because even he himself is unable to protect himself.

On that day, he was chased by Gan Ning in a hurry, he led the army back to kill, and after fighting for a long time, he had to withdraw because he was defeated. In the following days, he was chased and killed, and the number of soldiers around him has increased from the earliest 200,000 to less than 50,000 now.

Even the remaining 50,000 horses are mostly wounded, and their momentum is low.

Under the pursuit for several days, Cao Ren not only lost his main force, but also the people who stayed around him were less than one in ten, and his morale was still low.

If it is said that such an army can win any battles, Cao Ren does not dare to think about it at all, he is just thinking about how to avoid the pursuit of Gan Ning behind him, escape from the scope of the East China Sea Kingdom, and then join Cao Cao.

But even this idea seems to be extravagant, the scouts of the Celestial Empire are too powerful, they flee to one place, and it often doesn't take long for them to be discovered a second time, and then the scene of chasing and fleeing is re-enacted.

"How much food do we have?" Cao Ren, who didn't see any chasing soldiers for the time being, came to a tree, jumped down his horse, leaned against the tree and asked wheezing.

There were already soldiers waiting on the side, and when they heard Cao Ren's question, they hurriedly replied: "General, because of the retreat all the way, the grain and grass around us have long been used up, and many soldiers have begun to eat grass or live on tree bark. ”

"What?" Hearing this answer, Cao Ren's face became very ugly, he didn't expect that the army was so poor, if it was really like this, I was afraid that it would be impossible to break through the siege.

"Hey, forget it." Cao Ren originally wanted to say a few words of encouragement, but when he thought that he originally had 600,000 soldiers and horses, but now there were less than 50,000 around him, and he was also a general of the defeated army, even if he was lucky enough to meet the king Cao Cao, he didn't know how to explain, even if it was like this, what else to struggle?

Cao Ren suddenly stopped thinking about talking, but just rested against the big tree, and the soldiers were silent.

Cao Ren rested in the woods he found, and this stay was half a day. During this time, there were about 30,000 Wei troops who fled on the pretext of looking for food, and they all saw the situation in front of them clearly, and it was impossible for the Wei army to turn over, even so, what was the use of staying here? Waiting to die?

As for the fact that a soldier escaped, the soldiers wanted to report it, but even if they said it, the general was afraid that there would be no better way, just trying to increase the troubles, so he simply closed his mouth.

For half a day, Cao Ren didn't say a word, until he felt the tremor of the trees and knew that it was the pursuers coming again, and then he slowly opened his eyes.

"General, it must be that Gan Ning is chasing after him again, why don't we run away quickly." Seeing Cao Ren standing up, the soldiers hurriedly spoke out to comfort him.

"Run? Where to flee? The world is so big, where is my place? That's it, that's it, so be it. Come, help me to my horse. Cao Ren shook his head, at this moment he was also hungry and thirsty, and the strength in his body was drained by more than sixty percent, even if he ran away, he was afraid that he would not have enough mental strength.

He decided not to run away, but got on his horse and picked up the iron spear in his hand again.

Not long after Cao Ren had done this, countless Celestial Empire armies rushed out from the side of the woods, and then he saw Gan Ning Ganxingba, who was holding the Xingyue Sword, riding a horse and coming to a place ten zhang away from him.

"Well, Cao Ren, you are surrounded now, hurry up and fight me." Gan Ning was full of excitement, after chasing for so long, he finally found Cao Ren again, and he decided that this time he must have a happy fight.

It's just that Gan Ning's excitement is destined to be lost, because Cao Ren has no intention of fighting him at all, when he saw Gan Ning appear, he simply inserted the iron-tipped knife in his hand into the ground, and then pulled out the saber on his body.

"General Gan Ning, I fancy you as a hero, so I wonder if you can promise me a condition before I die?" Cao Ren said with all his strength. He hadn't eaten for a few days, but now he was really weak.

"Conditions? Let's hear it. Seeing this time, Cao Ren had no intention of escaping, so Gan Ning didn't do it right away.

"I know that this time the army is defeated, there is no way to return to heaven, but I can die, but these people are brothers who have followed me for many years, I hope that General Gan can give them a way to live, and don't kill them as enemies if they don't work. And in order to repay the general's kindness, Ren is willing to kill himself, even if it is underground, I will remember General Gan's kindness. Cao Ren, who said this with a wry smile, suddenly swung his saber and wiped it towards his neck.

"Stop!" Originally, he pointed to Gan Ning, who had a good fight with Cao Ren, and saw that this person wanted to commit suicide, so he immediately spoke out to stop him. However, the two were far apart, and they were still a step too late, and when his words fell, Cao Ren had already fallen immediately, and there was already a blood mouth like a pillar on his neck.

"Hey." Seeing Cao Ren die like this, Gan Ning suddenly felt a little unhappy. To be honest, after chasing for so long and working hard several times, he had some feelings of pity for Cao Ren, and this result was not what he wanted.

However, Cao Ren died, and it was too late to say anything now, Gan Ning thought of this person's words before he died, so he glanced at the besieged Wei army and said: "These people are all prisoners, first register and make a register, and then hand it over to the emperor to deal with." By the way, no one of them must be killed until the emperor gives an order. ”

Gan Ning did this as an agreement to Cao Ren's request, but the real way to deal with these prisoners still depends on Zhang Chao's meaning, he is just a corps commander, and he doesn't dare to make decisions about these things.

Cao Ren killed himself, Cai Yang surrendered, Deng Ai was captured, so far the main force of the Wei army in Xuzhou 600,000 people were all wiped out, without this obstacle, after Lü Bu and Tai Shici and Gan Ning converged in the East China Sea, they immediately raised their troops and headed towards Xiapi City.

......

Runan City, Yuzhou.

As the new royal capital of Wei, there is still a certain garrison here, Cao Cao's eldest son Cao Ang with 100,000 soldiers to guard here, and he is also accompanied by General Yu Ban, one of the famous five good generals in history.

Originally, Cao Cao confronted Zhang Chao in Xuchang, which was a good situation, but who knows, more than two months later, the situation suddenly changed, and the Wei army was suddenly defeated in front of Mixian, so that the main force was lost, Cao Cao's life and death were unknown, and his whereabouts were unknown.

As soon as the matter came back, Cheng Yu, a strategist in the city, immediately persuaded Cao Ang to inherit the throne of the king of Wei immediately, so the country must not be without a king for a day, otherwise civil strife will occur.

Cao Ang didn't really want to succeed to the throne immediately, and with his feeling that his father should still be alive, because the battle report did not say that the most elite tiger and leopard cavalry was annihilated, and even so, he was now succeeded to the throne in accordance with the law.

However, because of Cheng Yu's insistence and the general Yu Ban, he was also very supportive, and finally Cao Ang had to inherit the throne of King Wei. And on the fourth day of inheriting the throne, the 200,000 Eastern Wu army suddenly came outside the south gate of Runan, and they claimed to be here to congratulate the new Wei king, but everyone knew that they were clearly coming to pick up the bargain.

"This Dongwu is really a wolf ambition, and we are allies, but as soon as my father was defeated, they came when they got the news, is it really that there is no one in my Wei country?" On the top of the main hall, Cao Ang said generously, and the stirring voice resounded in the ears of everyone in His Highness, but many people were really unmoved after hearing it, and even some people were already thinking about their own way out.

originally thought that Zhang Chao would be considered a victory, but there was still a long distance from Xuchang to Runan, presumably during this time, the new Wei king must be able to think of a way to achieve both. It's just that I didn't think that Dongwu was going to take advantage of the fire to rob, so it would mean that the danger was imminent, and the things that needed to be considered before were also the things that needed to be solved the most now.
