Chapter 70: History Has Been Changed
"Big brother, don't see Cao Cao!" Zhang Fei came with a team of people riding horses from a distance.
On the other side, Guan Yu also rushed over from the right side, and the Qinglong Yanyue Knife in his hand was still dripping with blood, "Big brother, someone just saw Cao Cao flee from the north gate, should we hurry up and catch up!" ”
Liu Bei, who was holding a male and female sword in both hands, frowned, and couldn't make up his mind for a while.
All around, there were rebels and the panicked Cao army approaching, all of them were killed by Guan Zhang, Liu Bei, who was surrounded by the army, didn't care about this, he needed to calm down now, because the next decision was related to his own future, and even the future of the Han River.
As soon as the mutiny began, the battalions were in chaos, and there were sounds of fighting everywhere.
As the vanguard of this western expedition, Liu Bei had 10,000 soldiers and horses under his command, of which 6,000 were Cao Cao's men, and they scurried around like headless flies.
Liu Bei didn't care about them at all, and took Zhang Fei and Guan Yu to stabilize his more than 4,000 old brothers first.
Among these 4,000 people, more than half of them were Danyang elite soldiers left to him by Tao Qian back then, with good combat power and a calm mood, and it didn't take much time for them to stabilize the trilogy.
Faced with the chaos of fighting in all directions, Liu Bei subconsciously wanted to take his people out of the battle circle, after all, he didn't have such a big capital to toss.
More than 4,000 brothers, after the fight, they were really gone.
Until he heard someone running over for help, claiming that Zhang Xiu led his troops to the main village to take Cao Cao's head, he was keenly aware that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
So he took Guan Zhang and led more than 4,000 people to kill the rebels and deserters all the way to open the way, and finally came to the main village, but he heard that Cao Cao had already run away, and he wanted to pursue it.
But when he saw the scene under the gate, he hesitated.
There are nothing more than three paths in front of him, first, lead the troops to chase and kill Cao Cao, and now there will definitely not be too many people around him to protect him; second, Mingzhe protected himself and fled the battle circle with more than 4,000 people; Third, save Cao Ang, Cao Anmin and Dian Wei.
Liu Bei looked at the direction of the north gate, and thought to himself: After escaping from the camp, he must be running eastward, and there are seven or eight ways to cross the water, how can I catch up with him...
If you sit idly by at this time, although there is no loss, you will miss a good opportunity to send it to your door in vain.
"Big brother! There are enemies on all sides, this place should not stay for a long time, and it needs to be decided quickly! Guan Yu shouted after swinging his knife and slashing down the approaching four Xiliang soldiers.
With the help of the scattered bonfires, Liu Bei's eyes once again fell on the bloodied Cao Jun trio who were fighting under the gate.
He is Cao Cao's eldest son, and Dian Wei is Cao Cao's favorite guard, if I save them at this time, it will be equivalent to making a contribution to Cao Cao.
In this way, this third way is the most beneficial to me.
"Second brother and third brother, follow me to kill Yuanmen!" After thinking about it, Liu Bei finally made up his mind, whether it is to assassinate Cao Cao in the future, or to lead troops to break away from self-reliance, dispelling the doubts in Cao Cao's heart is a level that must be passed, saving the three of them and changing the future, it is worth it!
"Third brother, hurry up and keep up with the eldest brother!" Guan Yu didn't know what medicine Liu Bei was selling in the gourd, and when he saw him rushing towards the rebels, he had to follow closely.
The Liu Guanzhang brothers, who originally came to kill Cao Cao, became a rescue team.
Guan Yu, who was the first to come, waved the Qinglong Glaive Knife, and with the help of the charging momentum of the war horse, he knocked the eight Xiliang soldiers on the periphery of the gate away.
Zhang Fei, who followed closely, stabbed the Zhangba snake spear in his hand straight out, pierced into the chest of a Xiliang soldier, and then provoked and smashed it towards the crowd, and six people were immediately knocked down.
Liu Bei who came one after another was flanked by Danyang elite soldiers on the left and right sides, like a sharp knife stabbing into the lineup of the Xiliang Army.
In an instant, the Xiliang army, including Zhang Xiu, was all palpitating.
Regardless of the invincible bravery of Guan and Zhang, the cost of seriously wounding the Cao army trio has worn out more than half of the sharp spirit of the Xiliang army, and the sudden side attack is enough to make the originally somewhat swaying military heart collapse.
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei carried their horses into the chaotic army, and the long soldiers in their hands were either strong and heavy, opening mountains and gravel, or overbearing like dragons, strange and unpredictable, the Xiliang army was killed and abandoned their armor, and retreated again and again, where can they still take care of Dian Wei them.
Looking at the sergeants who fell one after another in front of him, Zhang Xiu's face was flushed, and he was about to fight with Guan Yu, who killed the most fierce, with his gun, but was stopped by the deputy general on the side, and hissed: "General, don't fight anymore, otherwise the brothers will be buried here!" ”
Since Dong Zhuo in the Guanzhong area, the various departments have cut the land to dominate, the bandits are everywhere, and the smoke of gunpowder has not stopped for a day, Zhang Xiu has followed Zhang Ji to stay in that kind of place for four years, which can be regarded as a hundred battles.
The experience accumulated in the past told him that the other side had no cavalry, and it was still too late to leave, and no matter how late it was, he would really bury his brothers here.
He watched Liu Guanzhang unwillingly ravage his robe like chopping melons and vegetables in the chaotic army, gritted his teeth and said: "Big-eared thief, I wrote it down for you, today's revenge will be avenged tomorrow!" ”
Then he shouted, "Brothers, withdraw!" ”
The army began to break away and fled in a hurry, but fortunately Liu Bei did not mean to kill the killer, and after driving Zhang Xiu away, he asked people to guard around the gate, as if he had come to the savior.
He probably didn't know that the wheel of history was changed by him.
He just firmly believed that tonight's behavior should be enough to win Cao Cao's trust, and he was even planning in his heart how to break away from Xuchang and where to stand.
After Zhang Xiu led the people to evacuate, the riots in the battalions did not stop abruptly, and Liu Bei didn't care about them, unless it was a nearby rebel army, they wouldn't do it.
It wasn't until the sky was white that the sound of fighting in the camp finally dissipated with the last trace of darkness of the long night.
Silence had regained by the water, but the corpses and the messy camp were a sign of how brutal the mutiny had been last night.
After the day was completely dawn, the various units began to return to the camp one after another.
In fact, whether it was scared away or the sergeants who took refuge in the camp, they had to return to the army in the end, otherwise they could only starve to death in the wilderness.
Next to the water, Cao Cao leaned against a dead tree, looking at the rolling water, his eyes were blank, and he was depressed like an old man.
Soldiers continued to run to him to report the situation of each battalion, and Xiahoudun, Cao Hong, Le Jin, Xu Huang and other departments have all reorganized their departments, although there are losses, the essence is still there.
But Cao Cao seemed indifferent to this, and every time a sergeant came, he would ask: "Have you found General Dian Wei?" ”
The final answer was extremely disappointing for him.
He didn't even ask Cao Ang and Cao Anmin.
Cao Cao stood up tremblingly holding on to the dead tree that was like him at the moment, and shouted at the surging water: "Where is General Dian Wei!" Where is General Dian Wei! ”
The only thing that answered him was the sound of the water crashing against the ferry.
At this moment, Cao Cao's vision gradually became blurred.
"Sikong, Sikong!"
A scout rode his horse, flew off his horse and knelt on one knee, "Sikong, I have found the eldest prince." ”
Cao Cao staggered forward, grabbed the scout, and said eagerly: "Where is General Dian Wei?" ”
"Together with the eldest prince and An Mingongzi, they are in Uncle Liu's camp, all three of them are seriously injured and unconscious, and the military doctor is already treating them!"
Hearing this, Cao Cao only felt relieved, and the stone that was originally blocked in his heart seemed to have finally been removed.
After he rode on Cao Ang's war horse, he waved his horsewhip, "Lead the way ahead!" ”
"Whoa!"
