Thundered~

At the foot of Huo Mountain, a group of knights urged their horses to gallop on the plain, the sound of horses' hooves hitting the ground, like beating drums, deafening, this group of people was hundreds of horsemen who rushed over from Jinyang.

Cao Xin ran in the ravine with his cavalry in the dark for more than three hours, and finally arrived near the water at four o'clock in the morning, crossing the water in front of him, and on the opposite bank was the Nanda Camp, one of the military camps of the Cao army outside Wancheng.

At this time, billowing black smoke rose from the sky above Nandaying, the sound of fighting, horses' hooves, and screams, and as the wind came to my ears, there were still many corpses floating on the surface of the river.

"Stop!"

"Stop moving!!"

Cao Xin reined in his horse, raised his big iron spear and shouted.

After hearing the order, the cavalry behind him slowly slowed down and lined up at the water's edge.

"Report ~ General!"

A spy waiting on the opposite bank rushed over the bridge on horseback.

"General, last night there was a sudden riot in the camp in the south of the water, the Xiliang army killed people and set fire to the barracks, General Xiahoudun, who was guarding the barracks, led the troops to suppress it, and was defeated by the Xiliang army, and General Xiahoudun was forced to withdraw from the Nanda camp.

Subsequently, the Xiliang Army of the Southern Battalion united with the Xiliang Surrender Army of the Beida Battalion to attack the Dongda Battalion where the prime minister was located. In less than two hours, the eastern camp was breached, and the prime minister led people to break through in the direction of Xudu, but he was nowhere to be found. ”

"How's the West Camp going?"

Cao Xin asked.

"After the town guard general Yu Ban suppressed the rebellion in the West Daying, he led the troops to the East Camp for reinforcements, but encountered Zhang Xiu's ambush halfway through, and suffered heavy losses, and General Yu Ban led the remnants of the army to retreat in the direction of Xudu."

"In whose hands is Wancheng in?"

"Wancheng has been captured by Zhang Xiu."

"Is it so miserable?"

There are a thousand whys in Cao Xin's faith, but Tanma has limited knowledge, and he didn't ask about it.

"Dude, it's hard work, you go and heal first."

Cao Xin looked at the bleeding Tanma and said.

"Yes, General!"

Tanma grinned, pulled the horse and disappeared into the river.

"Brothers!"

Cao Xin held a big iron gun and shouted loudly, "A few days ago, I told the prime minister that the Xiliang army is unstable and wants to rebel, so you must be careful with the prime minister, but the prime minister doesn't believe it, thinks I'm verbose, and sends me to Jinyang to defend the city, but now, I've guessed it all." But there is no way, whoever calls the prime minister is our eldest brother, and the eldest brother must forgive him for doing something wrong. ”

"Hahaha~"

The knights laughed.

"Yes, laughter is laughter, but the life of the eldest brother is very important, we ran so far, we are not here to clean up the mess for them, we are here for one purpose, to find our eldest brother first, do you understand?"

"Understood!"

The knights shouted.

"Okay, let's go!"

Cao Xin waved his big iron spear, slapped his horse across the water, and rushed to the Nanda camp on the other side of the river.

Along the way, there are traces left by the war everywhere, black smoke, red bloodstains, the closer to the camp, the more corpses on the ground, some were hacked to death, shot to death, trampled to death by horses' hooves, there are Qingzhou soldiers, Yanzhou army, and Xiliang army, all of them fell on the field where the spring grass sprouted, shocking.

"Blow the trumpet!"

"Raise the flag!"

Cao Xin shouted.

Woo woo woo~

The horn that belonged to the Langya army sounded outside Wancheng, and Cao Xin's 'Cao' military flag and the Langya military flag were also held high in the air.

After the military flag was raised, the remnants of Cao's army gathered from all directions, from the southern camp to the northern camp, and more than 2,000 remnants of the Langya army gradually gathered behind them.

"General, there's a battle ahead!"

Tanma shouted.

"Rush!"

Cao Xin waved a big iron spear and led the cavalry to rush to a battlefield where they were fighting, and there were two or three thousand Xiliang troops besieging and killing hundreds of Cao troops, and the battle was tragic.

When the cavalry accelerated to charge with their spears, the defensive line of the Xiliang army immediately collapsed and fled for their lives in all directions.

"Lao Zhang, you stay to collect the remnants of the army, and take them to stay in the Beida camp, and I, Dayan and Yuan Shao, continue to pursue northward, looking for Prime Minister Cao."

"Yes, General!"

Zhang Baiqi led a team of cavalry to gather the remnants of the army on the battlefield, and Cao Xin was about to set off with people when he saw a man with broken armor and a bloody face rushing towards him.

"Woo~, Uncle Six, you're finally here."

When the man saw him, he wept and wept.

"You are?"

"Sixth uncle, I'm Xiahou Boren."

Xiahou Shang, who was short and stout, wiped the blood and black ash on his face, revealing a plain face.

"See, why are you here?"

"Woo~, sixth uncle, I don't know, I drank some wine last night and was sleeping in the Beida camp, and suddenly I heard someone shouting that the Xiliang army was rebelling, I ran out of the camp to see, the Beida camp was all on fire, I quickly led people to suppress it, but the Xiliang army was dressed like us, and I didn't know how to fight, so I had to take my men to find Cao Ang.

After leaving the camp, I saw that the southern camp was on fire, and the west camp was also smoking, so I took people to the east camp to find the prime minister, but when we passed, the east camp was breached, and the prime minister ran away on horseback, and I couldn't keep up with the horse, so I ran to hide in the woods. When the dawn came out, I happened to meet this group of Xiliang soldiers. If I hadn't met you, Uncle Six, I would have died. ”

Xiahou Shang said with a sad face.

"Haha, isn't it not dead, you stay here to rest, I'll go find the prime minister and Cao Ang."

Cao Xin threw a kettle to Xiahou Shang.

"Uncle Six, I'll go too."

"No, you're injured, help Lao Zhang gather the remnants of the army and defend the North Camp here, understand?"

"Understood!"

"Let's go!"

Cao Xin led the cavalry to continue the pursuit to the north, killing more than ten Boxi Liang troops along the way, saving three or four thousand remnants of the Cao army, Cao Xin asked people to take them back to Beidaying for resettlement.

On the way, he also encountered the corpses of several acquaintances and generals, and Cao Xin also asked people to carefully collect them and bury them in the future.

"Ziyu, but Ziyu?"

After the cavalry dispersed a group of remnants of Xiliang, they met a living acquaintance, the military advisor Cheng Yu, this old man was holding a sword, there was blood on the sword, and there were wounds on his body, it seems that the old man also saved his life after some hard fighting.

"Brother Zhongde, why are you here?"

Cao Xin dismounted and asked.

"Alas~"

Cheng Yu hung his head and said, "A certain mistake was made." ”

"Oh, I remember the last time I asked Brother Zhongde, Brother Zhongde said that everything is under the control of you and the prime minister, how could you make a mistake?" Cao Xin snorted coldly.

"Alas, Ziyu Mo said it again, it's all so-and-so's fault."

Cheng Yu covered his face with his sleeves, and he was a little faceless to speak.

Cao Xin laughed, stopped teasing him, asked someone to move the horse and handed it to Cheng Yu to ride, and asked Cheng Yu about the incident as he walked.

Cheng Yu sighed a few times and talked about the recent layout.

After accepting Wancheng, Cao Cao immediately began to reorganize the Xiliang Army, just like four years ago in Qingzhou to absorb the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army, cut the old and weak, leaving only the strongest young and strong, after the successful intake, Cao Boss got a strong Qingzhou soldier.

In the face of the stronger Xiliang Army, Cao Lao Nature will not let go, he has successively bought many Xiliang generals by wooing, buying, painting big cakes, etc., but this is only a small part of the Xiliang Army, and most of the remaining Xiliang Army is hard-headed, called 'army leader' in the army, unwilling to accept the reduction and adaptation.

Cao Boss found Zhang Xiu many times to discuss, Zhang Xiu said that there was no way, the Xiliang Army was originally Zhang Ji's soldiers and horses, he was in charge of the Xiliang Army for less than a year, and many generals in the army were his elders, Zhang Xiu said that he could not command.

Boss Cao was very dissatisfied with this, and soon the story of Cao Hong coming to the door to kidnap Mrs. Zou happened.

Mrs. Zou is Zhang Ji's widow and the main mother of the Xiliang Army.

Mrs. Zou was robbed, which discredited Zhang Xiu.

In less than two days, Hu Che'er and other eight major generals successively promised to be loyal to Prime Minister Cao Cheng, accounting for half of the Xiliang army.

Two days ago, Zhang Xiu held a banquet at home, claiming that he was unwell and could no longer control the Xiliang Army, and was willing to cooperate with the prime minister to incorporate other leaders of the Xiliang Army.

Boss Cao thought it was a Hongmen banquet, and brought more than 200 armor soldiers to the banquet that day, but at the banquet, Zhang Xiu slashed and killed two Xiliang army leaders who disobeyed orders on the spot, and the remaining army leaders were forced to bow their heads and express their willingness to cooperate with the reorganization of Cao's army.

Cao Lao was greatly moved, and pulled Zhang Xiu to call him a brother.

After the leaders of the Xiliang Army collectively softened, Cao Boss's reorganization plan went smoothly, but no one expected that just last night, the Xiliang Army suddenly turned the tables and caught Cao Jun off guard.

"In other words, robbing Mrs. Zou is part of your plan to incorporate the Xiliang Army?"

Cao Xin asked, touching his chin.

"Robbing Mrs. Zou and taking Mrs. Zou as a concubine is an idea that the prime minister came up with temporarily, on the one hand, it can suppress Zhang Xiu's prestige, and on the other hand, it can also win over the head of the Xiliang Army through Mrs. Zou, but no one expected that Zhang Xiu and the Xiliang Army's resistance would be so fierce."

Cheng Yu sighed as he stroked the burned beard that had only a few left.

Cao Xin frowned, the wild history said that Cao Cao was drunk and lustful, and he forcibly accepted Mrs. Zou as a concubine, and Zhang Xiu raised troops to rebel out of shame and indignation, but now it seems that everything is not so simple.

"Brother Zhongde, if Cao Hong hadn't robbed Mrs. Zou, would Zhang Xiu and Xiliangjun rebel?"

Cao Xin asked.

Cheng Yu frowned slightly and sighed, "Maybe, but not so fast and so intense." At the beginning, you defeated 5,000 Xiliang troops with 100 on the battlefield, and within a few days, the Xiliang army surrendered without a fight, which caused our army to despise the strength of the Xiliang army.

The prime minister also did not pay much attention to the Xiliang army, and after entering Wancheng, he adopted an impatient way to reorganize the Xiliang army, and as a result, the resistance of the Xiliang army was stronger than imagined, and the combat effectiveness of the Xiliang army was stronger than that of the Qingzhou soldiers.

Alas, it may be better if we had slowly figured it out and used more gentle means to reorganize the Xiliang army. It's a pity that it was too late. ”

Cao Xin pursed the corners of his mouth, it's your fault for underestimating the enemy, what does it have to do with me 100 to 5000, don't want me to carry the black pot.

"General, discover the Xiliang cavalry."

Horse Exploration returns.

"Rush over!"

"Yes!"

Boom~ Cao Xin rushed into the Xiliang army with Langya cavalry, fought with more than 100 Xiliang cavalry, fought less than a stick of incense, and the Xiliang cavalry dispersed.

"General, it's Commander Dian Wei, and the eldest prince."

Tanma shouted ahead.

"Oh?"

Cao Xin was overjoyed and rushed over.
