Chapter 290: Heavenly Sword Out
Yang Xiu felt Cao's eyes and asked in a low voice, "Lord, should I take off my dragon robe?"
"Dezu is really smart. Yes, it's time, otherwise it will be harder for us to get off!"
Yang Xiu tore off the dragon robe and shouted: "Don't come here, the Son of Heaven is still hiding in Weiyang Palace, and we are just being coerced by him and acting as bait." ”
Ordinary courtiers are very attentive when they talk about the Son of Heaven. But Yang Xiu used words such as "hide", "coercion", and "bait", which seemed very disrespectful. With his literary accomplishment, he usually speaks with words and chews words, which shows how angry he is with the Son of Heaven.
People only reveal their true thoughts when they make life and death decisions, and Yang Xiu's short sentence made the soldiers around him have the same mentality: it turns out that he is not really helping the Son of Heaven, but also a victim.
For this reason, some of the soldiers chose to let them go and instead marched towards Weiyang Palace, while those who were far away were annoyed that they were holding back their time and still attacked them.
There were about 10,000 people left in the field, and Cao was sure that these 10,000 people would definitely let them be surrounded and killed. To add insult to injury, a large group of black-pressed soldiers rushed from the south street, and the leader was Guo Yan, the general of the Liangzhou army.
The arrival of Guo Yan was not only as simple as reinforcements, but also gave these soldiers a backbone, and their combat effectiveness rose sharply.
Cao's mouth was a little bitter, and he began to wonder if the action was worth it.
Guo Yan's smiling face got closer and closer, and after he recognized Cao's part, he shouted to the left and right, and two teams of soldiers with remote pulse devices lined up, and at this time they didn't bother to care about their companions, and the long-range attack flew out, suppressing Cao ‖ them.
"Listen to the soldiers in front, I am General Guo Yan, you quickly retreat three feet away, otherwise don't blame me for not thinking about the friendship of my colleagues. ”
"In addition, the soldiers who attacked from a distance gathered the enemies inside, and after killing them, they entered the palace to greet the lord and capture Liu Xie alive. ”
Arrows rained down from all directions. Cao and the others did not have a strong body protection true qi like Lu Bu, blocking most of them, and a small part still entered the body. Although it did not hurt his life, he always suffered a slight injury.
When he was hesitating and helpless, two teams of people suddenly turned out from the east and west streets, and the leaders were Xun Yu and Xun Yu's two uncles and nephews.
"Don't panic, lord, we're here to save you!"
The two of them each led a thousand soldiers and horses and charged Guo Yan's main formation.
It turned out that these two people were entrusted by Cao to secretly collect defeated soldiers and deserters near Chang'an City, and under the promise of profit, they also gathered a thousand soldiers and horses. This is also one of the purposes of Cao coming to Chang'an. The two major armies of Liangzhou and Bingzhou have been in fire for many hours from morning to night. Under the spread of all kinds of unfavorable news, the morale of the army must be unstable, and capable soldiers do not want to be in the melee
If you die in battle, you will fish in troubled waters if you are incapable, either robbing people's houses or becoming deserters. It's just that time is limited, otherwise Liangxun is confident that he can gather more people.
Cao Jimin, Sun Jian and Liu Biao are not stupid, Zhou Yu, Tai Shici, and Huang Zhong are holding the same goal, wandering around various locations in Chang'an and trying their best to recruit troops.
With the help of Liang Xun, the six Cao people in the center were able to take a breath. But the battle situation was still critical, Cao thought about it for a while, and decided to "capture the thief and capture the king first", and sent Xu Chu and Dian Wei to go straight to Guo Yan with him.
Whoosh, swish, the Wild Song Halberd is far wider than the ordinary crossbow arrows, Dian Wei is not stingy with his true qi, after sending out several Wild Song halberds, his true qi decreases, but activates his exclusive talent "Jedi Death", and his attack power skyrockets.
Xu Chu on the battlefield is no longer in trouble, his attention has been greatly improved, and he has switched to the "tiger" state, which is not much better than Dian Wei.
But the fastest advance was Cao, and at this time he already had an extra long sword in his left hand, which was his vein weapon "Yitian Sword". This was the first time he had sacrificed the vein, and under the infusion of true qi, the flames of the Heavenly Sword soared, even if the temperature above it could already burn the enemy.
On the left and right, Xun Yu's hands flicked continuously, and large and small characters flew out of Wang Zuo's scroll, so that the enemy couldn't help but retreat, and the burned let out a terrible scream; Xun Yu's attack power was not strong, but the control skills of Qi Ze Fan were not able to withstand ordinary soldiers, and they stood in place one by one, waiting for the enemy's cover.
Cao had already come to Guo Yan, who was riding a high-headed horse, and one flashed to the side of the war horse, and with a slight wave of the Heavenly Sword, the horse's head fell to the ground.
Guo Yan's face was pale, and he raised his pulse and slashed at Cao, but unfortunately the war horse suddenly knelt on the ground, and suddenly lost his balance, he was taken advantage of by Cao, and when he stood straight, the Yitian Sword was already on his throat.
"Order to retreat!"
Cao's voice was not loud, but Guo Yan was sure that he was not joking, and there was no room for mediation.
Guo Yan was undoubtedly afraid of death, and just as he was about to drink the soldiers and beg Cao for mercy, Cao suddenly changed his attention, snapped two orders on him, and at the same time took out a pill from his arms and stuffed it into Guo Yan's mouth.
Cao waited for the pill to digest for a while, and then slowly took the Yitian Sword and unlocked Guo Yan's Dao, and he didn't speak, just stared at him with a smile.
"You...... What did you give me to eat."
Guo Yan stammered, only to feel that the pill was cold and fragrant, and this feeling quickly spread all over the place, and he couldn't help but shiver greatly.
"It's nothing, it's just a general antidote pill, I saw that General Guo was angry, so I took it for the general privately, I hope not to be surprised. ”
Cao Yang said strangely, saying that feeding the medicine was good, but a cold sweat had already broken out on Guo Yan's forehead.
He has a good relationship with Li Ru, and he has heard Li Ru say in private that there are many kinds of poisons, and if it is a poison that Li Ru is intimate, the better the taste, the more fragrant the taste, and the greater the poison. In this situation, how could Cao give himself an ordinary pill to clear and detoxify? An idiot would believe it.
"Okay, let's go, I'm not difficult to ...... for you" Guo Yan gritted his teeth and made a decision, "But you must give me the antidote before leaving." ”
At this time, Yang Xiu had already rushed over, he only thought about it and guessed Cao's intentions, pretended to walk to Cao's side, and said in a low voice: "Lord, Dong Zhuo is dead, Li Ru is seriously injured, Jia Xu protects himself, and the Liangzhou soldiers are always a dead end." Since Guo Yan took the poison, we took him hostage, and everything will be fine if we escape from Chang'an. ”
Cao was overjoyed in his heart, Yang Xiu, this kid is so popular with me. Pretending to be silent for a while, he almost nodded.
Guo Yan had Yang Xiu personally confirm that he had taken the poison, and even that one-ten-thousandth of a fluke did not exist, thinking that if they only took me out of Chang'an, I would definitely die at that time. The most important thing at the moment is to save Xiao Xiao's life, everything is in vain.
"Meng Degong, please listen to me. I temporarily changed my mind, this handsome and dashing brother is right, the Liangzhou Army has nothing worthy of my nostalgia, if Meng Degong does not dislike it, I can go back to the main formation, recruit the soldiers of the headquarters, and then switch to your banner. Meng Degong cherishes the world, Wen Tao Wuluo, has always been the object of my admiration, if it is paired with the wolf-like Liangzhou army, it will definitely be able to kill the Quartet. ”
Guo Yan noticed that the soldiers of the two camps were mixed, and after a little consideration, he guessed their origins. He had 30,000 soldiers, and excluding those who died in battle and those who were unwilling to follow, there were at least 15,000 of them.
Thinking about this section, Guo Yan lobbied Cao more heartily, and "finally" got Cao's consent.
"Meng Degong, all the soldiers I brought with me are pro-soldiers, you take them out of the city first. Oh, by the way, remember to go out through the east gate, the guards are also my men. After saying that, he called a soldier who looked like a lieutenant, and told him to be careful and to take people out of the city.
Guo Yan patted his heart and assured that Cao had to accept it "reluctantly". He sent the Xiahou brothers to follow, one to monitor, and the other to ensure Guo Yan's safety, if he died, the more than 10,000 troops would be empty.
Cao looked at the sky, and the mysterious energy was suppressed a lot, and the sky over Chang'an was already covered by it. He had a hunch that if he didn't leave, it might not be so easy. He repeatedly told the Xiahou brothers that before the energy fell to the ground, they must drive out of Chang'an City, and if nothing can be done, self-safety is the most important thing.
The Xiahou brothers are the brothers of his own family, and they are also his most relied on confidants, and they cannot afford to lose.
After the three of them left, Cao made a move with his right hand and took the lead in rushing to the east gate.
