Seeing this, Cao Cao had an ominous premonition in his heart!

Just as he was thinking about whether to withdraw the army, he saw Lu Bu exert great power and beat Xiahoudun to the ground of defeat and retreat.

In desperation, Xiahoudun had no choice but to retreat.

But his retreat made the army's heart unstable, and the soldiers also retreated in panic.

Lu Bu seized this opportunity and took advantage of the situation to cover up!

Cao Jun's generals were not Lu Bu's opponents at all, and they couldn't stop him for a while.

Seeing that Lu Bu was killed, Dian Wei held two double halberds, blocked in front of Cao Cao, and shouted,

"Lord, retreat quickly, I'll cut you off!"

Cao Cao did not hesitate, turned his horse's head, took the rest of the army, and ran in the direction of Xingyang!

With Cao Cao's defeat and escape, Cao's army was also completely defeated, and countless soldiers rushed to the rear.

In the chaos, I don't know how many people were killed by the Xiliang army, and I don't know how many people died from trampling!

……

The night is deep, and the moon is as bright as day.

After Cao Cao fled to a barren mountain, he stopped and regrouped.

After some counting, the original army of 10,000 is now only more than 6,000 people left.

The rest of the soldiers were either killed in battle or scattered in the confusion.

Looking at the dejected soldiers, Cao Cao's heart was sad, and he couldn't help but sigh.

Knowing this, I should have listened to Yang Ling's words instead of being stubborn!

Before Cao Cao and the others could catch their breath, they heard shouts of killing again, and when they looked closely, another team of men and horses came out of the oblique down.

"I am the former general Xu Rong of the Prime Minister's account, Cao Apu will die soon!"

The military general Xu Rong held his spear high and led a group of ambush soldiers to kill!

Cao Jun, who was already demoralized, was even more panicked at the moment!

"Lord, retreat quickly, leave this place to us!"

Xiahou Xuan, Xiahou Yuan, and Dian Wei shouted in unison.

They led their soldiers to rush forward and bravely kill the enemy, which stopped Xu Rong's charge!

However, before Cao Cao could escape, he saw Lu Bu personally leading the Xiliang army and chasing him from afar!

Seeing this, Cao Cao only felt like falling into an ice cave, and his face was full of despair!

Is the sky going to kill me Cao Mengde?!

In this moment of despair, I heard a clear cry,

"The thief is rampant!"

But I saw a young general with a white horse and a silver robe, rushing over from the west.

It is Yang Ling's sworn brother Zhao Yun!

Like a sharp arrow, he plunged straight into the battlefield and came to Xu Rong, who was wantonly rushing and killing in the Cao army!

Xu Rong stabbed a Cao soldier to death with a single shot, and instinctively sensed a hint of danger.

Looking up, a little cold light pierced the night sky, stabbing at me!

Xu Rong was startled and hurriedly twisted his body, which narrowly avoided this shot!

He looked at it, but it was a white-robed young general!

"Who are you? I don't kill nameless rats under my men! ”

Xu Rong froze and asked with a sneer.

"I am Changshan Zhao Zilong!"

After Zhao Yun reported his name, he didn't talk nonsense, and continued to shoot his horse to catch up, and the spear in his hand burst out with tens of millions of cold rays, enveloping Xu Rong in it!

Xu Rong was almost dumbfounded.

He never thought that the young general with a young face in front of him would be so brilliant in marksmanship, and he was not below him at all!

Unbeatable!

Xu Rong didn't dare to be careless, swung his spear vigorously, and after swinging Zhao Yun's weapon, he retreated to the rear as soon as he pulled the reins!

But how could Zhao Yun let him escape so easily!

I saw a little cold light arrive first, and then the gun came out like a dragon!

Before everyone could react, Xu Rong was stabbed in the back by Zhao Yun with a shot and fell under the horse!

Seeing the enemy's main general Xu Rong killed, Cao Jun's morale was suddenly boosted, and the cheers were like thunder!

Cao Cao was even more overjoyed!

Yang Ling's third brother, Zhao Zilong, is really amazing!

The morale of the soldiers of the Xiliang Army immediately declined!

Lu Bu, who was fighting against Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan, looked over after hearing the movement.

After seeing Xu Rong's corpse that was provoked by Zhao Yun, he couldn't help but be surprised!

Xu Rong died like this?!

At this moment, he noticed that a black shadow flickered in the night in the distance, and it seemed that many Cao Jun were coming to support!

He is not the opponent of Dian Wei and Zhao Yun, and now that Cao Cao has reinforcements, he must withdraw!

Thinking of this, Lu Bu didn't hesitate, Fang Tian drew a halberd and played a false trick, so he withdrew with the army!

Seeing the retreat of the Xiliang army, Cao Cao had no intention of pursuing, and immediately ordered to gather men and horses and withdraw towards Luoyang City overnight!

……

After a long night's journey, Cao Cao finally returned to Luoyang City before dawn.

When he saw Yang Ling waiting in front of the camp gate, Cao Cao almost burst into tears.

He turned over and dismounted, ran forward, held Yang Ling's hand, and said a little choked,

"Sir is really my savior!"

If Yang Ling hadn't sent Zhao Yun to answer it, I was afraid that he would have died at the hands of Lu Bu and Xu Rong last night!

"Gong Cao is polite, this is what his subordinates should do. The army must have been tired after a night's march, and I have ordered someone to prepare a meal, so go in and rest. ”

Yang Ling said with a smile.

Cao Cao did not insist any longer, and returned to the camp with his men and horses.

After they had eaten and drunk, they took stock of the remaining men.

The original army of more than 10,000 people was only about 5,000 people at this time.

After knowing such a result, Cao Cao's face was a little gloomy.

Yang Ling on the side comforted,

"Victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, and Cao Gong doesn't have to take it to heart."

"You're absolutely right."

Cao Cao took a deep breath, regained his spirits, and looked towards Yang Ling,

"According to Sir, what should we do next?"

Just last night, Liu Dai, the assassin of Yanzhou, asked Qiao Mao, the Taishou of Dongjun, to borrow grain.

Qiao Mao refused to borrow, and Liu Dai actually led his army into his barracks, and after killing Qiao Mao, he incorporated his troops.

The rest of the princes saw that the situation was not right, and they were afraid that there would be any more trouble, so they led their troops and left.

The so-called coalition forces have fallen apart!

Yang Ling glanced at the tent, in addition to him and Cao Cao, there were several other generals such as Xiahoudun, Xiahouyuan, and Cao Hong.

These people are Cao Cao's henchmen and generals, and they are loyal.

He lowered his voice and said slowly,

"What Cao Gong has to do next is very simple, his subordinates only have nine words to give to you, build a high wall, accumulate grain, and slowly become the king!"

After seeing that the princes each had a ghost and a fiasco last night, Cao Cao also realized that what Yang Ling said earlier was good.

Now that the heroes are divided, the world is in chaos, and the Han family is about to run out!

If you want to reorganize the order and stabilize the world, you can only accumulate strength first and slowly try to do it!

The nine words of building a high wall, accumulating grain, and slowly becoming the king contain the truth, which can be described as concise and concise!

Cao Cao's eyes flashed, and he was almost stunned!

"With Mr. help me, great things can be done!"

Cao Cao solemnly saluted Yang Ling.

"It is an honor for my subordinates to serve Cao Gong."

Yang Ling chuckled.

With his own understanding of history and his thoughts beyond the millennium of the ancients, why do you need to divide the world into three parts?

Completely help Cao Cao rise, dominate the world, create a peaceful and prosperous world, and enjoy the blessings of the Qing Dynasty himself.

"But that being said, where do we go to grow?"

Cao Cao touched his chin and said worriedly.
