Chapter 437: Xiahou's Death

As soon as the trapped camp exerted its strength, Zhang Miao, who led Chen Liujun, soon couldn't stand it, and their advantage in the big camp was completely lost in an instant.

Zhang Miao has recruited a lot of soldiers in Chenliu over the years, and the reason for this is nothing more than that he has abundant money, is willing to invest, and treats the soldiers very well, so among the warlords in Yanzhou, the number of soldiers recruited is the largest, and all the heroes in Yanzhou are also willing to take refuge under Zhang Miao.

But this situation is only temporary, because a sheep in wolf clothing will always be a sheep, and no matter how much a herbivore changes, he will not become a carnivore.

Zhang Miao is such a person, because of his strong financial arming, he seems to be powerful on the surface and can win the hearts of the Quartet, but in fact, the relationship between them is extremely fragile.

Relationships without monetary interests are never reliable, but relationships maintained solely by money are still not strong enough.

Zhang Miao lacks the bearing and ability to be the master of the people, no matter how strong his financial resources are, the real people will not look up to him, and they will not be willing to submit to him.

is like a hero like Dian Wei, although he was forced by life and circumstances to take refuge in Zhang Miao at the beginning, but when he saw Zhang Miao's true face, he resolutely left him.

In fact, the people who left Zhang Miao were not only Dian Wei, but there were other people of insight in the army, who felt that Zhang Miao was not good, so they rushed to leave, and the people who stayed by Zhang Miao's side could not be said to be outstanding, but most of them were modest.

How good can the combat power of a group of soldiers trained by a military academy with a middle-of-the-road posture be?

If you fight against ordinary soldiers and horses, it doesn't show too many drawbacks.

Compared with the world's first infantry trapped in the camp, that is the vegetable who was tortured by blood.

The 3,000 camp pioneered in the camp, and the rest of the Hebei sergeants followed closely in the rear, and they didn't even need to do anything at all, and in an instant, Chen Liu's army was all defeated.

Zhang Miao, who was dressed in Xuanjia, escaped from Liu Bei's village in a panic under the arch guard of a group of personal guards.

As he ran, he subconsciously turned his head to look back.

"Why is this happening? Didn't Cao Mengde say that he would increase his troops to help me? Why isn't Mengde here yet?! ”

Sima on the left and right said in a loud voice: "Fu Jun, Cao Cao's thief, deceived us all!" He didn't plan to advance and retreat with us from the beginning, but used us to test Liu Jian's reality! ”

"This fang is even more hateful than Yuan Shao!"

In fact, Zhang Miao had already guessed this matter in his heart.

It's just that he still has some hope for Cao Cao in his heart, and he doesn't want to believe that his original friend actually uses him like this.

And this time, when Lu Fan from Runan Xiyang came to see Zhang Miao, he also grieved the relationship, and assured that Cao Cao was willing to be a peacemaker in the middle, so that Yuan Shao and Zhang Miao could get back together.

And to Zhang Miao's surprise, not long after LΓΌ Fan arrived in Chenliu, Yuan Shao's envoy also arrived and conveyed Yuan Shao's apology to Zhang Miao, during which it was inevitably revealed that this was the result that Cao Cao could achieve through his mediation.

It was under this step-by-step coincidence that Zhang Miao's gratitude to Cao Cao increased.

But it was also this surge of favor that led to him now being trapped in Liu Bei's camp.

When everyone was friends back then, Zhang Miao actually looked down on Cao Cao, a friend who was born as a eunuch.

But although Cao Cao's background is not good, his own ability is definitely there, plus Yuan Shao's recommendation, so this eighth chef is reluctant to stand with Cao Cao.

It wasn't until today that Zhang Miao understood in his heart.

Actually, there was nothing wrong with what I thought back then! The descendants of this eunuch are bastards, and they can't be handed over.

Take the bamboo shoots, he!

……

"Zhang Miaoxiu is gone!"

With a loud roar, Zhang Miao hurriedly looked up, but it was Liu Bei, who was holding a double-strand sword, who led the crowd to kill in front of him.

The knights beside Zhang Miao hurriedly caught up, wanting to block Liu Bei.

But at this moment, the warriors who followed Liu Bei were Sima Han and others from Qingzhou's other department.

Han Dang is also a fierce man who has been born and died in Bingzhou Border County with Zhang Fei for many years, and he is also the Sima of Liyang Camp.

Chen Liu's cavalry naturally had no weight in front of his troops.

Han Dang and the others greeted him without any pressure, and just by looking at him, he smashed the opponent's team to pieces.

Han Dang himself held the ring-headed knife in his hand, swung it in the east and slashed in the west, and each knife would have the enemy's soldiers fall off their horses.

Zhang Miao was frightened by the scene in front of him.

He had even forgotten that he should quickly turn around and run away.

But at this time, Liu Bei had already galloped in front of Zhang Miao.

I saw Liu Bei suddenly stretch out his hand, and when Zhang Miao was caught off guard, he directly pulled him from the horse.

Although Liu Bei is not as brave as Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, he is indeed a very powerful general.

In terms of charging into battle, he is also much stronger than ordinary people, at least Zhang Miao is no different from a weak chicken in his eyes.

Zhang Miao was captured alive by Liu Beisheng and thrown under the horse.

"Tie up!"

Liu Bei shouted, and saw that the people on the left and right rushed up one after another and tied up Zhang Miao's five flowers.

Zhang Miao jumped on his feet and scolded on the spot, but no one cared about him, and Liu Bei didn't even look at him.

In Liu Bei's opinion, it is best not to kill people like Zhang Miao first, after all, he still has the reputation of an eighth chef on his back.

The influence of the so-called eight kitchens in the East Han Shilin Group is not small, after all, the ability of these eight unjust bosses to spend money like running water cannot be compared with ordinary people.

Even if Gu Nian spent the money of these wronged people, if Zhang Miao died, those who had received his favor would also have to symbolically scold Liu Jian.

Liu Bei felt that this kind of thing was worth the loss, so why did he have nothing to do and ask those scholars to scold him?

After tying up Zhang Miao, Liu Bei ordered all the sergeants to go out in full force to pursue Cao Cao's army.

At the same time, he demanded that even if he used some subordinate techniques, he would stop the other party......

At this time, because the sky was dark, whether it was the retreating men and horses of the Cao army or the men and horses sent by Liu Jian to pursue, they had to be cautious.

But one of them doesn't seem to think so.

This army is the army led by Cao Hong.

According to Cao Cao's request, after receiving Cao Cao's information, all troops should withdraw quickly.

But Cao Hong seemed to be a little unconvinced in his heart, he felt that it was too much to withdraw like this.

Cao Hong was originally a short-tempered lord, and he was relatively young now, so it stands to reason that it should not be his turn to coordinate a military horse for the time being.

It's just that in the Cao clan, Cao Ren is not here at present, and Cao Chun is following Cao Cao. Help him take command of his poor cavalry, which is few in number.

Therefore, among the Cao clan, the person responsible for leading a single team of soldiers and horses can only be Cao Hong.

Cao Hong breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and he didn't know how to attack at the moment, but suddenly he vaguely heard the sound of shouting and killing behind him.

And the voice of shouting and killing seemed to be getting closer and closer to him.

Cao Hong wanted to go back to the decisive battle, but was finally dissuaded by his subordinates.

After all, Cao Cao's order was to retreat the whole army and not to fight with the Hebei army, if Cao Hong turned around and fought with the other party at this time, it would be a violation of the military order, and he would be severely punished by Cao Cao when he turned back!

Cao Hong could only resist his efforts to suppress his impulses, and under the protection of the guards on the left and right and under the leadership of the guide soldiers, he quickly withdrew on the dark official road!

As long as it can reach the agreed place, if the Hebei army dares to chase after it, it will not be too late to gather the strength of all armies and then crusade and exterminate it.

But the problem is that the troops who followed behind Cao Hong began to use agitation tactics again.

The soldiers couldn't catch up with Cao's army, so they began to chant:

"The rats of the Cao family, sneak up and shrink your head, turn your back on your allies, heaven and earth will not tolerate it!"

"The Cao clan of Qian County is good at using magic tricks!"

"Deceive allies and don't hurt the enemy!"

"Cao Jun is really Zhang Miao's mortal enemy, Yuan Shaoxing!"

"Cao Jun is really our great fortune star!"

"What a blessing to have rats like you as our opponents!"

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

When these words first reached Cao Hong's ears, he didn't take it too seriously.

However, the shouts of the Hebei army became louder and louder, and the content became more and more outrageous, only saying that the entire Cao clan in Qiaoxian County was extremely low, worse than animals.

Cao Hong's face became redder and redder, and the hand holding the reins of the horse began to tremble constantly.

His guards on the left and right hurriedly persuaded him, hoping that he could hold back his anger for a while, and never fall for the enemy's cunning schemes!

But in the end, there was still a sentence that completely shattered Cao Hong's bottom line and made him unable to bear it anymore.

"The people of the Cao family, the ugliness of the eunuchs, are all things that can't be on the stage!"

This sentence of "the ugliness of the eunuch" can be said to have touched the bottom line in the bones of the Cao family, and Cao Hong almost gritted his teeth with hatred!

It's too much of a bully!

"The three armies stop!"

Cao Hong roared angrily, and then ordered the soldiers to stop.

Then he turned his horse's head on the dark official road and looked behind him with an angry face.

Although the sky was dark and he could only see a little light with the help of the stars and the moon in the sky, the Chinese generals beside Cao Hong still clearly felt the anger and fiery waves in Cao Hong's body at the moment.

Cao Sima is really not temperamental now.

"Sima, by all means! At this time, it was dark, if the three armies were allowed to fight the Hebei Army at night, the result would be unpredictable, and Sima should not be counted by the villain because of his momentary anger......"

"Shut up! What do you know? ”

Cao Hong gritted his teeth and said: "The Hebei army is strong, and the front cannot be matched, but if it is dark today, the other army does not know the truth and forcibly pursues, just taking advantage of the night to set up an ambush here!" Later, the soldiers were ordered to hold bows and crossbows and ambush on both sides of the official road, but when they heard people and horses coming, they only waited for a certain order, and then they looked for the sound and shot, and disciplined the other party to suffer. ”

"But ......"

"Less nonsense! The credit is in front of you, and you don't know how to take it, what else can you do in the future? ”

"But ......"

"Don't make a noise! Do what I say! ”

"......"

Cao Hong was furious in his heart, and immediately ordered the soldiers and horses to lie in ambush on both sides of the official road, and those with bows and crossbows were all holding bows and crossbows, bending bows and arrows, and just waiting for the soldiers and horses from Hebei to arrive, so that the soldiers could find and shoot them in the dark night.

But Cao Hong's Sima still felt that this matter was inappropriate.

This place happened to be close to Xiahoudun's camp, so Cao Hong's subordinate Sima secretly sent someone to inform Xiahoudun.

I hope that if something happens on my side, please ask Xiahoudun to come to help.

At this time, Xiahoudun was in accordance with Cao Cao's order, ordered people to pack up their baggage, and prepared to move to the gathering place that had been discussed in advance.

But after listening to the report of Cao Hong's subordinate Sima envoy, Xiahoudun couldn't help but feel dizzy.

"Zilian, Zilian, you are so confused! What is this and how can you make such a mistake! ”

"At this time, meritorious service is not considered merit, but once something happens, it is a big loss!"

"Xiahou Sima, what should we do? Inform Ming Gong about this? ”

"Alas, at such a time, where can I find Ming Gong...... That's it, I still personally led an army to pick up Ying Zilian, hoping that nothing would happen to him!! ”
