Cao's march around Wulin was still very slow.

In order to pass through the mire, Cao Cao asked Cheng Yu and others to drive the seriously ill soldiers to pounce on the mud with straw. In the cold weather, these already sick soldiers walked with difficulty, struggling to move forward in crying and pleading, Cheng Yu sent a team of supervisors, waved the leather whip and couldn't stop whipping those soldiers, and they could only advance painfully to open the way for the whole army.

"Don't hurry up! thief! Cao Jun's team waved his leather whip and roared continuously, not pitying these comrades who had served together in the army.

The soldiers of the overseer team walked over with a curse, and just wanted to whip someone, when he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his leg, and before he could scream, he saw a ghostly light flashing in the night, and a behemoth pounced on him out of nowhere, and threw the man to the ground!

"Enemy attack, enemy attack!" Cao Jun was shocked, and went to the camel beast to grab swords and guns to prepare to meet the enemy.

But they soon discovered that the enemy was not Sun Liu's ambush, but a huge colorful tiger.

The tiger took the Cao soldier in his mouth, and his sharp teeth pierced the man's neck, and the strong man who had just yelled at him had no power to fight back in the tiger's mouth, only his wrist was still shaking slightly.

The tiger glanced contemptuously at the people in front of him, and before the Cao soldiers could react, they quickly turned around and jumped, and the long tail like a steel whip swept away, frightening everyone to hide to the side.

Shanjun is human.

If the Cao army marched forward with high spirits, it would definitely restrain its edge and dare not show up, but now that the Cao army was demoralized, and even abused its comrades, this tiger immediately showed its terrifying minions and immediately took the life of a person.

"Brutes dare to run rampant!"

Cheng Yu saw that a tiger was actually attacking his own army, and he was furious, he immediately waved his hand and asked people to prepare to shoot the tiger, but he heard a heart-rending scream from the rear team.

"Ahhh The voice was extremely poignant, and the dark night sky was full of the wails, screams and painful begs for mercy of the Cao soldiers, accompanied by the long and mournful wolf howls and indescribable terrifying screams in the night.

I had long heard that Jingchu was a barbarian land, but Cao Cao really didn't expect it to be barbaric like this.

There will be wolves for a while, and there will be tigers for a while, and I can't imagine what will happen next. Cao Cao made a quick decision:

"Advance immediately, and kill anyone who hesitates!"

The Cao army will obey the order, and the tiger and leopard will take the lead in galloping, trampling all the soldiers who paved the road in the mud!

Not only that, but the soldiers who were already tired before were also thrown into the mud pit by the soldiers under Cao Ren's command, and these soldiers kept begging for mercy, begging their former comrades and superiors to spare their lives and take them back to the north, but at this time, it was important to flee for their lives, and who cared about the lives of these people.

The war horses galloped wildly, the grain carts advanced, these soldiers who were thrown on the ground to pave the road were quickly trampled to death and crushed to death, their body bones were constantly trampled, and the soil was combined, and the Cao soldiers behind them stepped on their corpses, everyone was silent, and there was a strange smell in the army.

Cao Cao has always been firm in his life, and he has long been accustomed to this kind of small scene, but this time he finally had a rare unhappiness in his heart.

Slaughtering so many of their own people, others are only afraid that there will be a lot of resentment in their hearts.

At first, he still had the idea of retreating to Gangneung to maintain the battle line and continue to hold the battle, but now that he looks at it, he is afraid that Gangneung will not be able to hold it.

Damn, damnable.

It's all these sergeants who don't want to pay attention, and it's all Cai Mao who escaped, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to fight like this.

In the midst of depression, Cao Cao finally began to reflect deeply and began to divide the blame for the problems of this battle.

Since going south, the Cao army has been addicted to a huge sense of superiority, even if it has been raided by Guan Ping again and again, and even Cao Ren has been defeated, but the Cao army's high-level has always believed that this is just a disease of ringworm, as long as the Cao army advances in two ways and goes all out to attack, at most the loss is a little bigger, and the fight is a little more ugly, but it is not a problem to eliminate Sun Liu.

Some Northern soldiers even gloated that this was just the right thing to consume those barbarians, which was a good thing.

In this optimistic atmosphere, Cao Jun stayed from late autumn to deep winter, and Sun Liu could only do some disturbing things, which made everyone's mentality change a little.

Cai Mao was submissive to Cao Cao before, and waited for Cao Jun to sweep the world and honestly mix up the status of Cao Cao's old classmate with Zang Ba, but seeing that Cao Cao had to rely on himself, he simply revealed the fierceness and arrogance of the head of the Cai family, and grabbed much greater autonomy from Cao Cao than Zang Ba.

Cao Ren was the best offensive general under Cao Cao, and his skills in destroying cities and judging the situation were quite good, and he won Cao Cao's trust.

But when he got on the boat, Cao Ren couldn't command the water battle at all, Cao Cao was very disappointed in him, but he had to use him at a critical moment - well, Zixiao disappointed me again, didn't this exceed my expectations?

Zhao Yan was the best at mediating the relationship between the armies before, Cao Cao thought that he could do a good job of commanding an army alone, but this time he couldn't balance the relationship with Le Jin and Xu Huang, and it seemed that he could only let him continue to be his deputy in the future, and he could no longer lead the army alone.

Thinking about it this way, the only one who can maintain his true colors is Zilian......

He was greedy before, and he is still greedy, and he has never forgotten his original intention.

Cao Cao remembered that Chang Diao had said before that the brave and loyal people often defected to Liu Bei, and his heart was even more unspeakably depressed.

Fortunately, there is also Yunshan......

In all fairness, there are indeed people with high morals under Cao Cao's account, such as Xun Yu, Cui Yan, and Mao Jue.

But it is because these people have extremely high morals that they are getting farther and farther away from Cao Cao, and Cao Cao does not dare to entrust them with big things. But Yunshan is different, this person does not have any extraordinary virtues, and he is fighting completely with his bloody courage and simple knowledge and gratitude.

This young man once went to Jiangling, when Chen Qun obviously found that it was extraordinary, but he did not recommend it to Lone, hum, he knew that it was exceptional when he sent a few boats of food, but he didn't understand this when he introduced talents, in the end, he was a celebrity and a gentleman, and he didn't want to recommend people without virtue. The same was true of his discord with Fengxiao back then......

"If filial piety and frankness are there, Lone will not be so defeated." Cao Cao couldn't help but sigh.

Chen Lin and Dong Zhao both lowered their heads in shame, not knowing how to answer Cao Cao's words.

After Guo Jia's death, Cao Jun's intelligence network was in a mess, and he couldn't figure it out at all, and Cheng Yu had mentioned this matter before.

Yunshan is the same as Guo Jia in the prime minister's mind, that's really amazing, and I don't know how this son is now.

Cheng Yu heard Cao Cao's annoyance, and said with a wry smile:

"Prime Minister rest assured, General Yun's martial arts are strong and brave, even if he is encircled, he can always kill it, not to mention that the land of Shiyang is not a dead end. If this son gets the guidance of the prime minister in the future, he will definitely be able to become the pillar stone of the Han Dynasty. ”

Cao Cao's mood was finally a little better, he looked up to the sky and laughed, and his hearty smile finally diluted the previous unhappiness:

"When I returned to Xudu, I summoned Tan Zhi, and I couldn't wait to meet this young hero."

But Cao Cao's joy did not last long, and as soon as his laughter stopped, he only heard another exclamation from the rear team of the army.

The line was too long, and Cao Cao and the others couldn't see what was going on in the rear for a while.

"Where's the tiger and leopard? We still have tens of thousands of soldiers, how can we be abused by these animals? Hmph, Lone personally led the soldiers and horses to slaughter this group of animals. ”

As soon as the words fell, I heard another exclamation from the rear, and then the army began to be in chaos.

Even if Cao Jun was at the end of his rope, he would not be beaten like this by the wolves, and Cao Cao knew that it was not good.

I saw a fast group of horses hurrying from behind, and the knight on the horse exclaimed:

"Prime Minister go quickly, Guan Ping is here!"

"Ahh Cao Cao was startled at first, and then realized that there should not be many people in Guan Pingjun, he snorted coldly and shouted:

"What are you doing when you're alone? Zhongde, you bring someone to take Guan Ping's head! ”

Cheng Yu couldn't bear it for a long time, and immediately called out and led thousands of soldiers to turn their heads to intercept. In an instant, there were only a few dozen guards left around Cao Cao.

With Cheng Yu and Cao Ren of His Royal Highness, Cao Cao finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and he asked the cavalryman:

"How many soldiers and horses does Guan Ping have?"

"About three hundred!" The cavalry said quickly.

"Hmm." Cao Cao nodded, he saw that the cavalry was still standing not far from his guard of honor, and frowned again:

"What are you doing here? Why don't you turn around and kill the enemy? ”

The cavalryman shook his head and said, "Forgive me." ”

"Why?" Cao Cao was stunned.

The cavalryman smiled and slowly raised his head, revealing a handsome face young and full of blood in the firelight.

"Because, so-and-so is Guan Ping!"
