Xiao Guancheng was in chaos, although Xiahou Yuan and Xu Huang cooperated, and finally tore open an escape route for Zang Ba and Sun Guanwei, but the price was not small, and there were already corpses everywhere outside the North Gate.

The situation at the city gate is actually not good, because after the attack, the Cao army who fled in all directions subconsciously chose to flee from here, this is human nature, helpless, but how wide can a city gate be?

Even if it is a place like Pengcheng, the most prosperous county seat in Xuzhou, it is only more than three zhang, not to mention that Xiaoguan is just a pass in the end, the city gate is only two zhang wide, and tens of thousands of people suddenly poured in, and the people behind were crazy to run, and the people in front were squeezed and couldn't move, and the result was a stampede.

Those Cao Jun, who couldn't get out, were forced to rush out by trampling on people, so that layers of corpses were spread at the city gate.

In the end, Cao Jun even had to climb the mountain of corpses and rush out in embarrassment.

At the city gate, which is more than five zhang long and more than two zhang wide, thousands of corpses are piled up, but these corpses also block the cavalry led by Zhao Yun and Gan Ning, and if you want to chase and kill, you can only go around to the east gate.

However, Lu Bu, single-handedly, extremely flexible, coupled with the speed of the red rabbit horse, came from the east gate to the north gate in an instant, the corpses on the ground were all over the place, and the Lu army walked on it and was stuck, only the red rabbit horse galloped up, not affected in any way.

The post road to the north outside Xiaoguan City is not narrow, and there are a few small roads, and the scattered Cao army was chased and killed by the Lu army in the process, many people had to jump directly into the reeds, choosing to run blindly, as long as they could survive, even the weapons were discarded.

Lü Bu rode his horse all the way to pursue, and there were many Cao soldiers who fled with their lives along the way, if they were ordinary cavalrymen or even generals, they had to kill the Cao army in front of them if they wanted to continue the pursuit, and tear out a way.

Of course, there is another way, at this time, if a fierce general like Zhao Yun who left a shadow on Cao Jun came over, he only needed to shout the three words of Zhao Zilong while running, and they would also retreat in horror.

But Lu Bu didn't need it, the red rabbit in the horse was instigated by Lu Bu to move forward, and the wind generally ignored any Cao army that stood in front of him.

Bang bang bang~

The red rabbit horse was like a sharp knife that split the chaotic team in two, and after the muffled sound of the flesh impact, Cao Jun could hear the wailing and screaming of Cao Jun who fell to the ground.

In addition, Lu Bu used Fang Tian's halberd to constantly help knock over the Cao army that was in front of him, and one man and one horse ran rampant like a tank, not affected by these Cao troops at all, leaving only a bloodstained road.

Soon, he came to a fork in the road ten miles away, which was the fork point that Xu Sheng pointed to at the beginning, there were four in front of him, and two of them would meet another fork in the road if he continued to move forward, a total of no less than seven paths.

Even if Marco the Red Rabbit travels thousands of miles a day, it is impossible to search every road.

When those Cao Jun saw that Lu Bu was blocking the fork in the road, they ran to the reeds in a panic to feel blind, and it was likely that they would step on the air and eat in the next breath, which was better than dying under Lu Bu's halberd.

This is the coercion brought by the number one in the world, he doesn't even need to shout out his name Lu Fengxian, with the Fang Tian Painting Halberd in his hand, the purple gold helmet on his head and the dazzling Xichuan Hundred Flowers Red Robe, it is enough to let the world know who he is.

"Where has Dian Wei gone!"

Lu Buce immediately stepped forward and pressed his halberd against the neck of a Cao Jun and asked sharply, that Cao Jun's legs trembled, and a burst of warmth wet his trousers, "I don't know, I haven't seen them."

Lu Bu looked at the four roads in front of him, thinking that these people had just run here, and they really didn't know the situation ahead.

He turned to look back, hoping to see Gao Shun, there were capable people in his trap camp, and he could tell which way the war horse took by the traces on the ground.

It's a pity that in addition to the Cao army behind him, even the Zang Ba army in charge of the ambush is gone, let alone the trapped-in camp that was only ordered to clear the city pass.

As a last resort, Lu Bu could only choose one of the roads with his intuition and galloped wildly.

I don't know how long I walked, but even Cao Jun's deserters could only see a few scattered, and it was when I thought I had chosen the wrong path that I finally saw the cavalry in front.

Overjoyed, he hurriedly sped up, and in a short time, he had caught up with the hundred or so cavalrymen, and to his disappointment, he did not see Dian Wei, nor did he see Cao Cao, but there was also a familiar face.

"Lu Bu is here, Mr. leave quickly, and the end will be broken!"

Li Dian was shocked when he saw Lu Bu killing alone, obviously he had run so far, he could still catch up, and the name of the red rabbit in the horse was well deserved.

Xun You, who was over forty years old, saw Lu Bu rushing over, and almost fell off his horse without being frightened, and shook the reins again and again to drive the war horse to run wild.

As Li Dian, who was ordered to protect Xun You's breakthrough, after hearing the drums in the city, he was also like Dian Wei, and directly rushed out of the east gate with two hundred horsemen.

It's just that he couldn't keep up with Cao Cao's pace in the chaos, and he chose a path at random in embarrassment, who would have thought that he could also meet Lu Bu.

Li Dian took hundreds of horses to block the crossing, just to buy time for Xun You to escape and prepare for the attack.

"Where is Dian Wei?" Lu Bu didn't know Xun You, and he was not interested in Li Dian, he just wanted to find Dian Wei.

"Bad luck."

Li Dian spat at the mouth, probably knowing that he couldn't get over today, but he was not afraid, and shouted coldly: "Ask me about the spear in my hand, it knows!" ”

The Battle of Xiaoyaojin left the myth of Zhang Liaozhi's cry, and it seems that everyone has forgotten it, but in fact, Li Dian was also there in that battle.

And Li Dian still followed Zhang Liao to charge into battle with 800 people, and killed the 100,000 Jiangdong soldiers who turned on their backs, but unfortunately, the world only remembered Zhang Wenyuan, but failed to remember him Li Mancheng.

Sometimes fate is just that.

He raised the spear in his hand and condensed Lu Bu, with a hint of seeing death as if he were at home.

Lu Bu sneered, quite brave, but unfortunately he didn't know enough about himself.

He instigated the Red Rabbit Horse to rush towards Li Dian, and the Fang Tian Painting Halberd in his hand was left and right, and he immediately put down the five Cao army cavalry.

The surrounding Cao cavalry swarmed around, Lu Bu was splashed with blood like a chopping wave, Fang Tian's halberd did not stagnate at all, the cold light flashed, and the head fell to the ground.

A single charge resulted in twenty-seven Cao cavalry.

After turning the horse's head, he clamped the horse's belly again and rushed towards Li Dian.

In the heavy encirclement, every time Lu Bu's halberd moved, it took the lives of several Cao cavalry, Li Dian wanted to attack from the blind spot exposed by the other party several times, but found that the sluggish halberd was like an arm in Lu Bu's hands, no matter how sneak attack it would be useless.

Sikong is not accurate, if it is compared with that Zhao Zilong, Lu Bu is still better.

Zhao Yun's marksmanship is fierce and sharp, flexible like a swimming dragon, every time he points to the point, killing people is full of violent aesthetics, but the defense is much worse.

When you are under siege by four people, those dead corners will be easily captured.

But Lu Bu is different, Fang Tian's halberd can be attacked and defended, as if it is invulnerable.

In the blink of an eye, there were only twelve horsemen left beside Li Dian, and those cavalrymen saw that the robes under Lu Bu's halberd were either separated from their hands and feet, or their heads were different, and there was no complete corpse, so they couldn't help but feel fear, and after looking at each other, they tacitly chose to escape.

Fleeing from the enemy, if Li Dian can go back alive, these people will all be subject to military law, and they will not be able to live, but when people are facing fear, they often have the mentality that they can live for a while, and they can not care about the back.

Surprisingly, Li Dian didn't stop him, didn't even say a word, and chose to ignore it.

When the crossing was over, only Lu Bu and Li Dian confronted each other, this courage really moved Lu Bu, he pointed at the other party, and said in a deep voice: "Tell me where Dian Wei is, I won't kill you!" ”

Hearing this, Li Dian was stunned for a moment, and then raised his head and laughed.

After a long while, he restrained his smile, his face sank, and he clenched the spear in his hand tightly, "Shanyang Li Mancheng, escort Mr. by Sikong's order, if you encounter an enemy army, you can only fight to the death!" ”

"Li Mancheng"

Lu Bu nodded, "It's a man!" ”

Knowing that he couldn't get useful information from the mouth of such a tough guy, Lu Bu stopped talking nonsense and rushed to Li Dian.

The two horses were one zhang apart, Lu Bu slashed straight at the moon, and under the collision of weapons, he couldn't stand this huge force like Mount Tai, Li Dian was shocked and flew off the horse, plowing a long trace on the ground.

Before he could get up, his chest was pierced by Fang Tian's halberd.

Leaving Li Dian's whole body is the only dignity that Lu Bu can give.

After he stepped over Li Dian's corpse and continued the pursuit, he encountered another fork in the road not long after.

Lu Bu's luck didn't seem to be good, and he chose the wrong path again, and even Xun You couldn't catch it.

After chasing for thirty miles, there was still no one to see, so he could only sigh helplessly, his life was really big.

On the way back, Lu Bu's speed still slowed down a lot, but when he met Cao Jun, as long as the other party knew how to escape, he didn't want to kill them all, after all, he was not a person who took pleasure in fighting.

Fighting a war, in the final analysis, is not the problem of these soldiers, but the plundering of the interests of the princes.

When I returned to Xiaoguan, it was already noon, and the soldiers of the Lu army were cleaning up the corpses, and it was obvious that the remnants of the inner city had also been cleared.

Gao Shun ran over and said, "Wenhou, there are three thousand stones of grain and grass in the city, but the baggage and ordnance are intact. ”

Lu Bu nodded slightly, this situation is normal, Cao Cao's visit to Xiaoguan this time is a sneak attack, or a surprise attack, and it is inevitable to win a battle, so naturally he will not bring grain, grass and baggage, and the food is what he originally left in the city.

However, only more than 3,000 stones are missing, which is already good.

There was a custom that if you learned that you could not hold the city in a battle to the death, the enemy would burn all the food, grass and ordnance.

"What about the loss and the gain?"

Gao Shun greeted him and said in a low voice: "The damage of our army here at the north gate is quite serious, although it has not been counted, but listening to Xuan Gao and the baby, I am afraid that it has been reduced by no less than two percent." ”

Lu Bu shook his head, and didn't ask the reason, he scoffed: "Are these mountain bandits of Zhang Duo and Zheng Bao all muddy, when I was chasing just now, I looked at the corpses in that place, Cao Jun is half of our army, what kind of battle are they fighting." ”

"I'm missing some experience."

Gao Shun nodded in agreement, and then changed the topic, "If you capture, more than 8,000 Cao Jun have been captured, and they are now all guarded at the school grounds, as well as more than 800 war horses. ”

He was not interested in the capture of 8,000 Cao troops, but the harvest of more than 800 war horses was a little comforting.

"Select the best horses and send them to Zilong, and the rest will be placed in the cavalry camp."

Gao Shun said, "Oh." What about Cao Jun's captives, and how to deal with them? ”

This is a headache, and if you stay, more than 8,000 people will have more than 8,000 mouths to eat.

The possibility of recruiting under his command is not very big, most of these people are from Yanzhou and Yuzhou, and their wives and children are all on Cao Cao's land, so it is impossible to have the same heart with themselves.

Therefore, most of the time, the princes of all parties choose to kill such captives.

The reason why Lu Bu still hesitated was because the grain problem had been solved for more than a year with the help of the Quyuan plough and the keel waterwheel.

At the same time, it also took into account the situation that Lin Mo asked to move the Huainan refugees into the land of the three counties at that time.

These guys can also be used for hard labor, Lu Bu habitually said: "Ask Yunwen, just do what he says." ”

After speaking, Lu Bu entered Xiao Pass, and there were 30,000 or 40,000 troops participating in the battle this time, and they all stayed in the city after the end.

After all, Cao Cao was indeed defeated and fled, but they all knew that Xiahoudun in the rear had already arrived at Qian County with an army of 100,000.

According to normal logic, Cao Cao must have returned to Xuchang to recuperate after this defeat, and according to Lin Mo's estimate, it will not be long before the imperial court will send angels to send some holy decrees of reward, the purpose of which is to curry favor with his own side to join forces against Yuan.

However, all this is just speculation, God knows if Cao Cao will jump off the wall in a hurry.

Therefore, the army still needs to stay, and even Lin Mo has to rush from Pengcheng to Xiaoguan to garrison.

"This time, thanks to Mr. Jia's help, after Cao Jun retreats, Lord Yuezhang can worship Mr. Taishou for the East China Sea." On the road, Lin Mo, who was riding a sweaty horse, said in a leisurely manner.

Lu Lingqi on the side held Fang Tian's painting halberd and put on her favorite red armor.

Jia Xu turned his head to look at Lin Mo, and said with a somewhat embarrassed smile: "Yunwen don't want to joke, this clever plan is all your credit, and I didn't contribute." ”

As a post of Donghai County, it stands to reason that this Taishou position is in charge of the life and death of a county, and as the highest-level administrator, only Lu Bu's henchmen can hold it.

For example, Pengcheng Taishou is his son-in-law, Xiapi Taishou is Gao Shun, Guangling Taishou is Zhang Liao, and Jiujiang Taishou is Wei Xu.

In terms of merit and circle, he seems to be far from being able to reach the position of Taishou, and Jia Xu can't help but panic a little in his heart.

"I'll do it to you."

Lin Mo's words made Jia Xu a little stunned, what do you mean when I contribute? Without waiting for him to ask, Lin Mo continued: "What a smart person Mr. Jia is, I am a confidant, and I hope that Mr. Jia will not disappoint me." ”

"Where Yunwen is, I and Ling seem to have forgotten each other." Jia Xu twisted his beard and carefully figured out what medicine was sold in the young man's gourd in front of him.

"So, don't let that kind of thing happen in Xiao Guancheng in the future, since it's a person from a camp, don't be suspicious, right?" Lin Mohu's words grew serious.

Lin Mo was not present at the time, Jia Xu thought that this matter had been turned over, but he actually knew.

For a while, Jia Xu felt a little embarrassed.

That's right, a person as smart as him could guess with his toes that I shouldn't stop Wen Hou without saying anything.

Where is he going to give me the position of the East China Sea Taishou, he wants me to completely cut off the idea of throwing Cao on the surface, he is going to beat me.

Jia Xu smiled dumbly, Wen Hou's son-in-law is not only strategic, but also unusual.

"Yun Wenyan is serious, I understand your intentions, and I will definitely try my best to govern Donghai County in the future, so as not to disappoint Wen Hou."

It is comfortable to talk to smart people, Lin Mo smiled, "You also know that with the expansion of the territory, it will be easy for you and me to go around in the future, Lord Yuezhang is brave and invincible, but the power to use soldiers depends on Mr. More guidance." ”

"Benefited a lot, benefited a lot." Jia Xu's words are still leaky.

Lin Mo was actually quite helpless to him, obviously he was at the ceiling level of the world's strategists, but he couldn't assist his old father-in-law with his sincerity.

Sometimes I think about it, his temperament is indeed inferior to Chen Gong, exquisite egoism.

If you just read from the book, of course, you will feel that he is a person with great wisdom, but as the future master of this army, Lin Mo still needs to beat it.

At that time, if Chen Gong hadn't opened his mouth, the old father-in-law would have been turned around by Cao Cao.

I hope this East China Sea Taishou can cut off his other thoughts.

Some views are true, but Lin Mo also knows that this army still needs to rely on such talents.
