Guan Hai is facing the lake with his back to the lake at the moment.

His eyes were full of horror as he looked at the scene in front of him, and he was a little at a loss.

No matter how lucky he is.

I also know that I am not fortunate today.

If it was only at the beginning of the siege, then with a large number of troops, he directly abandoned the car to protect the commander, chose to cut off part of the meat, and chose to break through in one direction.

There is still hope of escaping the ascension.

But for most of the month, the army has been defeated in successive battles, and the team under his command has long been scattered, and the number has shrunk to less than 30,000.

For an army with the attributes of a homeless person, 30,000 people is no longer enough for him to give up, and if he continues to cut the flesh, he will only cut the main artery with a knife, and then cause the whole army to collapse.

Now, unless he is allowed to give birth to wings on his back and fly directly over the lake, there is still a glimmer of life.

Otherwise, it's just a matter of dying early and dying late.

Guan Hai actually regrets it now.

When Zhang Liao showed his banner and killed his own defeat, he should know that the current affairs were Junjie, and surrendered immediately with the tens of thousands of troops under his hands.

And not in a losing streak.

After losing the capital to rely on, I began to think about this, and now I just want to surrender, and everyone loves to ignore it, and I don't want to love it.

Speaking of which.

Guan Hai has some people who want to smoke their mouths.

Knowing that it was the Cao family's army that came to Qingzhou to fight for the Yellow Turban, what were you still doing with it?

At the beginning, Zhang Rao, Sima Ju and other Qingzhou Yellow Turban Qu Marshals wanted to join the Montenegrin Army when they went north, but they were attacked by Gongsun Zan and turned to Yanzhou, Guan Hai never responded.

He remained in Qingzhou from beginning to end.

After all, everyone stays in Qingzhou together, and this dilapidated land can't support so many people, but after they all leave, they can live enough to stay alive.

So he chose not to move.

As a result, what happened later made him feel extremely lucky, and all the Yellow Turban Army who went out of Qingzhou were folded in the hands of the Cao family.

Only he survived and escaped.

Not to mention anything else, the strength of the Cao family has been tested many times and has been proven to be far superior to that of the Yellow Turban Army.

As a result, he still had a fluke this time, and he never surrendered, isn't this the old birthday star hanging himself?

…………

regret and hesitation for Guan Hai.

Cao Ang and the others didn't know.

They don't care about any of that either.

No matter what the reason for the Qingzhou Yellow Turban, what kind of necessity is there, and what historical problems are left over.

They have been wreaking havoc locally for a long time.

Everywhere they passed, they plundered, destroyed the cultivation and production activities, and coerced the people to forcibly join, from a simple peasant uprising to beg for a living, to a homeless and robbing the house.

These are undeniable.

And the people who are the leaders, that is, those self-appointed Qu Shuai, are the first evildoers among them, and they are the culmination of these evil consequences.

Ordinary Qingzhou soldiers can be released to the township, or ask to join the army, but these middle- and upper-class people can either make some contributions honestly, or die.

It is with this attitude in mind.

Cao Ang and Tai Shici immediately turned their horses to the front, and each chose a suitable angle, about a few steps away from each other.

Then he quietly observed.

In this mass of thousands of troops, you want to find the commander of the enemy army accurately, and you also have to make sure that the arrows you shoot can avoid those obstacles along the way and kill the target accurately.

The most important thing is to observe beforehand.

Even a marksman who can leave a name in history does not dare to shoot casually with his eyes closed, after all, his arrows do not have trackers on them, and they cannot be accurately guided.

…………

After a careful observation for a while.

After mentally calculating the influence of various factors such as distance, direction, angle, and wind force.

Cao Ang's grasp in his heart has risen to 10%.

At that moment, he turned his head and smiled at Tai Shi Ci and said: "Ziyi, I have long heard that you have made a unique archery skill in the world. ”

"Today's opportunity is rare, you and I will try our best, and I hope to show all your strength, don't keep your hands behind and hide it, it can be regarded as allowing me to have fun!"

Listening to Cao Ang's words.

Tai Shi Ci was about to put the strong bow on the horse's back, and then moved lightly, touching the bow and the bowstring, as if he was comforting his old friend.

After such a demeanor.

Tai Shi Ci turned his head to look at Cao Ang, and the whole person became solemn with the naked eye, not only his back was straight, but his expression was solemn.

Even his eyes seemed to be burning with fire.

"General Cao, please rest assured, he has practiced bows and arrows since he was a child, and whenever he has leisure, he will not stop every day and dare not slack off."

"If the general and I test the sword and gun, or the art of the horse, I may have to think about it in the future, but since it is this hand to lead the bow and arrow."

"Then I will only do my best, otherwise it will be a desecration of the bow in my hand, and an insult to you, the general, Ci will never do such a thing!"

……

Tai Shi Ci's attitude made Cao Ang very satisfied.

This so-called competition, of course, is not that he has itchy hands for a while, so he has to play this kind of technical work in front of the battle.

Rather, it is a theory that he has always adhered to.

That is, when you want to subdue a talent, you only need to achieve all-round subjugation in the skills he is best at and the most proud of.

can quickly make this talent's admiration for himself soar explosively, thus promoting the talent's refuge, just like when he beat Cao Chun in riding.

That's why Tai Shici needs to go all out.

Otherwise, if you don't win the fun, the effect will be discounted, and how can you convince people?

After the parties agreed.

Tai Shi Ci thought he had found a feeling.

And no more time is lost.

Immediately draw the bow and set the arrow, stretch the back and forth with both hands, pull the bowstring to a state close to the full moon, and pinch the tail of the arrow with his right hand, and the tip of the arrow is pointed directly at the other end of the battlefield.

With Guan Hai, who was hidden behind the crowd, he kept swaying, and Tai Shici was constantly adjusting his angle.

While looking for the opportunity, Yu Guang also found that Cao Ang on the side also pulled the bowstring to the maximum, staring at the front with his eyes slightly narrowed.

However, it is a little different from Tai Shi Ci.

Cao Ang was quite calm and relaxed at the moment.

The whole person was like a stone statue, sitting on the back of a horse without moving, and his arms seemed to have been condensed into stones, without even a trace of trembling.

That's what it looks like.

Tai Shici couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Sure enough, General Cao will take the initiative to propose this competition, which proves that he also has some skills.

With this exaggerated arm strength, as well as the state of stability to the extreme, including a relaxed and freehand mentality, it is enough to make a top marksman.

Of course.

No matter how strong the opponent is, Tai Shici is confident in himself, how many people in the world can beat him in archery?

General Cao thought that he was just a master who was quite good at this, but not so good that his skills were close to gods.

…………

Minutes and seconds passed.

As a bitter north wind blows, the wind gradually stops, and the disturbance factors are minimized.

Tai Shi Ci was keenly aware of the opportunity.

Don't dare to delay in the slightest.

Immediately adjusted the position with his left hand, released the bowstring with his right hand, and suddenly an arrow with a cold glow made a sharp sound of breaking through the air, and roared all the way towards Guan Hai.

"Whew!!"

And at the moment when Tai Shici released the bowstring.

There was also a sharp sound in his ears, which pierced his eardrums a little.

As the two of them shot arrows one after another.

The two life-threatening chills suddenly rushed towards Guan Hai, who was still staying in place, dazedly unaware of the imminent arrival of death.

A few breaths later.

With his excellent eyesight, Tai Shi Ci saw that his arrow had already passed a large distance and was about to reach Guan Hai's neck.

I couldn't help but smile faintly.

Unless Guan Hai could dodge at this critical moment of life and death, the arrow would pierce his neck in the next moment.

Hit it directly and take its life.

In this competition, I must have won!

However, the next second.

Tai Shici's eyes couldn't help but widen.

There was a look of horror on his face, and his eyes bulged out violently, obviously the shock and horror in his heart were beyond words.

……

"Poof!"

"Click!"

Two different voices rang out before and after.

It shows that there has been an earth-shattering change on the battlefield.

And with a miserable scream, Guan Hai, the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Qu Shuai who was originally hiding in the rear and wearing a golden helmet, suddenly covered his neck.

I saw that in the center of his neck, there was an arrow that was still trembling, and a large amount of blood was surging out from the breach, and it couldn't be stopped.

But what's even more amazing is that.

The arrow inserted into the neck was a broken arrow, and the exposed shaft of the arrow was only about two or three fingers, and the rest had been broken.

Guan Hai, who was shot by an arrow.

The whole person gasped for breath.

It's like a broken bellows.

After struggling to reach out his other hand to grab something, but in vain, he quickly flipped off his horse.

I can't live now.

And the enemy commander was killed, and Cao Jun naturally would not let go of such a great opportunity, especially those veterans who had experienced many wars, and they were even more familiar with this process.

When even shouted at the top of his voice.

"The commander of the thief army is dead, and our army has won a great victory!"

"The Commander of the Thief Army is ...... dead"

First one after another, and then in unison, the volume was higher and higher.

The Yellow Turban thief who was already disheartened.

Looking back, it turned out to be true.

Morale collapsed in an instant.

In an instant, the defense line was broken and was defeated by Cao's army.

And at the signal of Zhang Liao and other commanders.

Cao Jun's side soon played the slogan of surrendering on the ground and not killing, and those who resisted died in the corner.

A large number of Yellow Turban soldiers scrambled to throw away their weapons and then lay on the ground.

The war is coming to an end.

…………

Regardless of the changes on this battlefield.

Cao Ang only put away the strong bow.

Then he still looked at Tai Shici with a smile, and said in a kind voice: "Ziyi, now it seems that I am still a step above my skills, and I am lucky to win!" ”

With Cao Ang's voice sounded.

Tai Shici, who had been standing stiffly on horseback, as sluggish as a statue, was shocked and gradually sobered up.

After blinking his eyes rather blankly.

Tai Shi Cicai's expression was complicated, and he felt a kind of bitterness in his heart that he couldn't say, and arched his hand to Cao Ang.

"The general's archery is unparalleled in the world, this is by no means a fluke can be said, I am convinced, in the past, I was in charge of the speculation, underestimate the world, today I know that there is a sky outside the sky."

"The general is really a god!"

Tai Shi Ci saw it very clearly before.

Just when the arrow he shot was about to pierce Guan Hai's neck, Cao Ang's arrow took the lead and pierced Guan Hai's vital point first.

And because of the blockage of the path.

His own arrows could only be stuck in the shaft of the arrow, and he missed the opportunity to shoot into the vital point.

This is also the reason why the arrow on Guan Hai's neck, the exposed part, is only one or two fingers long.

According to the original rules.

The one who breaks the key wins.

Tai Shici has completely declared failure in this prerequisite, so naturally there is no need to discuss who comes first and who comes last, who is far and who is close.

At the thought of everyone, everyone let go of their right hands at the same time.

Cao Ang's arrow was fired a moment or two later.

As a result, the last to come first, and even accurately blocked their own path.

Such a skill is close to the Tao.

In Tai Shici's opinion, Cao Ang's level is more than one level higher than his own, which is also the fundamental reason why he is convinced and admired.

I was proud before.

Blindly confident in his own strength, thinking that he is invincible in the world of bows and arrows, General Cao competed with himself, and it was just a defeat.

……

And after hearing that Tai Shi Ci was defeated.

Cao Ang suddenly laughed heartily.

However, there is only heroism in the laughter, there is no smugness and arrogance, and there is no disdain or other emotions.

After the laughter.

Cao Ang patted Tai Shici on the shoulder.

Then he encouraged and comforted and said: "Ziyi don't have to be frustrated, your archery skills are indeed unparalleled in the world, this is an undeniable fact." ”

"Although I am better than you, you don't have to be arrogant, after all, there are too many influencing factors on the battlefield, and if the strength is similar, who is strong and who is weak, and who can say accurately?"

"And don't take it to heart, now that Guan Hai is dead and the enemy army is scattered, you can go back to the Chinese army with me first!"

However, just as Cao Ang was about to return.

Tai Shi Ci suddenly called out to him.

Then, in Cao Ang's slightly surprised gaze, he quickly turned over and dismounted, his movements were crisp and neat, and he bowed to Cao Ang to the end.

Then he said in a calm tone and earnestly.

"Ci has a question, I don't know if you are under your command, but there is still a shortage of people, and I am willing to serve the work of dogs and horses!"

Suddenly, I heard these words.

Cao Ang couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

But he reacted quickly, and immediately smiled and lifted Tai Shici up.

"If someone asks me, then I have to think about it somewhat, but if it's a great talent like Ziyi, I can only say how much I want."

"The door of my Cao family is always open to you!"

……

As soon as I heard this.

Tai Shi Ci bowed down again on the spot.

"The general is benevolent and righteous first, and he is broad-minded, and the world knows that you are both literate and military, and your reputation is famous all over the world."

"A person like you, who is famous all over the world, must be the real master, if Ci misses this opportunity, I am afraid that he will regret it for half his life."

"Thanks to the general's refusal to give up, I am willing to ride your horse forward and kill the enemy to charge!"

Tai Shi Ci's exact reply.

made Cao Ang's face smile even more.

"Good, good!"

"I have the righteousness of the son, such as a pillar in the western sky!"

"Now that the army is on the march, it is inconvenient to arrange duties, and you will temporarily live under the command of General Zhang Liao, and after I say hello to Kong Wenju, you can lead an army alone!"

Although there is no subordinate relationship between Tai Shici and Kong Rong, after all, it is a person from him.

I have to talk about some courtesy, say hello and notify, and it can be regarded as in place.

In fact, for Tai Shici's defection.

Cao Ang was mentally prepared.

Isn't this the purpose of today's bow and arrow competition?

It's just that he didn't expect that Tai Shici would make decisions so quickly, and his actions were quite crisp.

Of course, that's not bad.

After all, a lot of effort was saved, and some uncertain factors were eliminated, and such a talent was directly locked.

…………

And after recruiting Tai Shici.

In the evening of the same day.

Zhang Liao had already commanded the army and cleaned up the entire battlefield on the north bank of Juding Lake.

Guan Hai, as the leader of this group of Yellow Turban thieves, was killed by an arrow, and the people below lost their backbone, so naturally there would not be too many twists and turns.

It was very smooth that the whole army surrendered.

In this battle, Cao's army once again captured more than 30,000 young people, counting the gains when chasing Guan Hai all the way to fight fiercely, this number will be pushed to more than 80,000.

If Cao Ang wants to promote the production of Juntun in Qingzhou, there is no doubt that this group of people will be the first batch of production base.

Even in the coastal zone, many of the manpower needed for efficient salt extraction and coarse salt purification and refining can be supplied from here.

And even in addition to these.

When counting the trophies, they also found many private vaults of the upper echelons of the Yellow Turban Army, including Guan Hai, which contained a large amount of money and jewelry, as well as a large amount of stored grain, which was another wealth.

The thieves led by Guan Hai, although they did a lot of bad things, they also left Cao Ang a big gift package, and they were more or less well-deserved.

…………

And after a simple digestion of the harvest.

According to the original plan.

Cao Ang also left some soldiers and horses in Le'an County to ensure the stability of the situation and continue the Cao family's rule over the area.

Then he led his troops to the south.

After meeting with Cao Ren's troops and inspecting the command of the Qi Kingdom, he immediately went east and went straight to the Beihai Kingdom.

It is currently in Qingzhou.

A more powerful figure.

In addition to the Qingzhou Thorn Shi Jiaohe, who was shrinking and didn't know where to hide, there was also the Beihai State Xiangkong Rong.

Get this done.

The Qingzhou strategy can be regarded as a complete achievement!

Moreover, Donglai County is east of Beihai Country, and if you want to take this largest coastal land, then Beihai Land is the only way to get around.

Therefore, the next meeting with Kong Rongkong Beihai has become the most important topic on the agenda.
