342 Lost and running wild
Subsequently, Cao Cao, Zhang Liao and others finally went ashore, and seeing that Cao Cao was disheveled and did not even put on thick clothes, Zhang Liao hurriedly put his robe on Cao Cao.
Zhang Liao's feet were too big, they had to be 44 yards, and Cao Cao's fat feet were equivalent to stepping on two small boats, so he found a relatively short soldier among his entourage, took off his shoes and put them on for Cao Cao first, which was better than freezing his feet.
Cao Cao wore a robe that reached the ground, and pulled the shoes that were still one size bigger, and stood on the shore decadently, the scene was a little funny, but also a little lonely, looking back at the river, only to see the smoke and dust rolling on the river, the fire was soaring, and he knew that the battle had been defeated.
"Wen Yuan, why is this?" Cao Cao asked with a gloomy face.
"Back to my lord, this is the north of Wulin." Zhang Liao looked at the terrain and replied.
"I never expected that I waited for hundreds of thousands of troops, and I was defeated all the way, and I was defeated by Zhou Yu's child." Cao Cao sighed.
"Lord, Zhou Yu is good at using treacherous tricks, and occasionally Xiao Sheng'er!" Zhang Liao looked disdainful.
Looking at the rows of snow-white Lang flowers, Cao Cao really felt that he was photographed on the beach by contemporary young people, and all he thought: "Soldier, treacherous, my negligence, underestimate him!" ”
"Lord, victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, and when I wait to kill him back, I will definitely put Zhou Yu's head on the ground!" Zhang Liao angrily asked for his life.
Cao Cao waved his hand helplessly and said: "I don't know the advantage of being outnumbered, it's just that the soldiers suffer from many diseases, and the high fever does not go away for several days, if there is another fierce battle, I am afraid that the casualties will be more severe than before." Besides, our army has been defeated and fled one after another, which is absolutely unreasonable, isn't it the heavens that hint that I can stop in moderation? Anyway, when he returned to the camp, he collected his troops to the north, the land south of the Yangtze River, and allowed him to figure it out again in the future. ”
Cao Cao originally had more than 300,000 soldiers and horses left, and he took out half of his troops to fight again, and Zhou Yu had no chance of winning. If it weren't for the plague caused by Zhuge Liang, who made people turn their backs, he would definitely not give up. Now that the elite soldiers with combat effectiveness have been defeated, of course he doesn't want to fight anymore.
Just when Cao Cao was helped on his horse and was about to return to the camp along the dry road, he didn't go far, but he saw a team of thousands of people suddenly appear in the woods on the side, and on a big banner in the middle, the word "Lu Meng" was written impressively.
It turned out that Lu Meng's illness was fake, but he was arranged here by Zhou Yu early, just waiting for the time to be ripe to sneak attack Cao Cao's camp, but he didn't expect to meet Cao Cao here, and his eyes were so happy.
As soon as he avoided Huang Gai's pursuit and encountered Lu Meng's obstruction, Cao Cao cried bitterly, turned his horse and ran, but in a panic, he ran to the west. Zhang Liao bravely rushed up and met Lu Meng, the two of them were not a heavyweight opponent at all, Lu Meng and Zhang Liao fought for dozens of rounds, only to parry, he knew that he was invincible, although he had regrets, but he still decisively withdrew his troops and retreated.
Zhang Liao also had no intention of pursuing Lu Meng to fight again, but chased him in the direction where Cao Cao fled and went to protect Cao Cao!
Cao Cao ran all the way, the wolf was unbearable, I don't know how long he ran, but he met a team of more than 1,000 soldiers and horses, Cao Cao suddenly reined in the horse and shouted: "My life is over!" He raised the half-cut Heavenly Sword in his hand.
And one person in front of the team saw clearly that the unkempt person in front of him was Cao Cao, and hurriedly shouted: "Don't panic, Lord, Xu Huang is here!" ”
When Cao Cao heard the name Xu Huang, he was so excited that he almost cried, so his waist immediately straightened. See, we are this kind of fateful person, and I couldn't help laughing and said: "There is Gongming here, lonely and worry-free!" ”
However, just as Cao Cao's laughter fell, a team of thousands of people was killed diagonally, led by Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai.
It turned out that Zhou Yu saw that there was no major incident in Sanjiangkou, so he secretly placed Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai here, preparing to take advantage of the chaos to recover Baqiu, which originally belonged to Jiangdong.
"Cao thief, don't go! Take your life! Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai shouted in unison, and rushed forward very bravely, if he could kill Cao Cao, then what else to say, this is more than the credit of recovering Baqiu.
Xu Huang hurriedly raised the big axe to meet him, and Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai were in a scuffle, the disparity in strength between the two sides was huge, and Cao Cao could only choose to flee first, and the farther away the better!
So, Cao Cao ran away, all the way to the west, Xu Huang fought the two generals, although he did not fall behind, but still could not win in a short time, at this time, Zhang Liao single-handedly caught up, Jiang Qin, Zhou Tai saw that he was coming, he knew that he could not resist Cao Cao's two fierce generals, immediately gave up the battle, and retreated.
Zhang Liao and Xu Huang were worried about Cao Cao's safety, so they didn't chase after him, and led people to continue to chase in the direction of Cao Cao's escape.
If he didn't get drunk, Huang Gai would have no chance, if Huang Gai didn't have a chance, he wouldn't leave the camp, and fled to this place where there was no store in front of the village, and he almost lost his life twice.
Let's not talk about where Cao Cao fled, let's go back and talk about the protagonist of our book, Wang Baoyu, who can be called a super troublemaker, just when Cao Bing and Jiangdong were fighting, he and Zhuge Liang came to Fankou smoothly, and it was already the middle of the night.
In this Chibi War, Liu Bei seemed quite unauthentic, robbed Cai Mao's grain and grass, and made a small profit. As for cooperation, except for letting Guan Yu intercept the defeated Cai Mao, he basically sat on the mountain and watched the tiger fight, without exerting too much strength.
Wang Baoyu also basically understood why Liu Bei gave up Jiangxia and stationed troops in Fankou, a very important reason, that is, the waters of Fankou are very complicated, and there are many places to escape.
It is precisely because of this that Cao Cao never came to exterminate Liu Bei, if he pursued Liu Bei here, he would inevitably spend a lot of troops to encircle and suppress him, and it was better to fight with Zhou Yu across the Yangtze River with real swords and guns.
As soon as he heard that the military advisor and the fourth brother were back, Liu Bei hurriedly got up from the bed and rushed out of the tent with tears in his eyes.
"Military advisor, fourth brother!"
Liu Bei ran towards the two of them very emotionally, and because he was in a hurry, he almost didn't fall down when he got to him. Wang Baoyu and Zhuge Liang hurriedly held one of his arms, lord, be careful!
Liu Bei straightened up and hugged the two of them one by one, looking really thin, and said a lot of heart-warming words, and then ordered a banquet to be set up to wash the dust for the fourth brother and the military advisor. So the three of them entered the house with tears in their eyes.
Zhuge Liang didn't eat a few bites of food, and remembered important things, during which he asked Liu Bei to take out the map, study it carefully, and prepare to intercept Cao Cao. Of course, this is because Zhuge Liang didn't know that Cai Mao and Zhang Yun's troops suddenly killed and saved Yu Ban, otherwise, he would not have moved this idea at all.
