Dong Jun pursued behind, shouting and firing arrows from time to time.

Cao Cao's legs were bloody, he was on a sword, limping, his face was gloomy, and he fled forward in a panic.

He is now full of regret and didn't listen to Guo Jia's words, so that he ended up like this!

And Xiahou Dun, Cao Ren, who was cut off for him, is even more unclear about the result.

Cao Cao didn't have time to think about it, so he buried his head and ran, shuttling through the complex mountains and forests.

It was not a simple run, Cao Cao threw away his clothes, shoes, and swords from time to time, changed directions, hid, and confused the pursuing Dong Jun.

"Cao Cao, you can't run away!"

"Dong Gong said, if you are willing to surrender, high-ranking officials are generous, glorious and rich, you can choose!"

"Cao Cao, there is no way ahead, I don't want to die and come out and surrender!"

Dong Jun pursued and shouted at the same time, and the soles of his feet were not slow at all.

Cao Cao turned a deaf ear, and at the moment he was embarrassed, his face was covered with mud and dust, his beard was messy, and his body was in tatters, covered with blood.

Cao Cao gritted his teeth, held his sword, looked up at the front, and limped to find a way out.

I don't know how long I ran, Cao Cao finally walked out of this mountain forest and came to the road.

He looked left and right, unable to make out the direction, looked up at the dazzling sun, limped into the opposite mountain forest, and walked southeast along the road.

Sergeant Dong chased after him, and soon chased the bloodstains into the direction of Cao Cao's escape.

"Cao Cao Hugh go!"

In just a quarter of an hour, Cao Cao was caught up, and more than a dozen Dong Zhuo soldiers rushed towards him desperately.

Cao Cao was exhausted, his hair was scattered, he looked back panting, and sighed at the sky: "My life is over!" ”

"Don't be afraid, general, Cao Hong is here!"

Suddenly, there was a loud shout at the intersection, followed by the sound of horses' hooves.

Cao Cao turned his head to look and saw Cao Hong rushing over with hundreds of people.

Cao Hong even shot arrows with a bow and shot at Dong Zhuo's soldiers who were chasing and killing Cao Cao.

Woohoo

More than a dozen arrows were fired, and Dong Zhuoshi was killed and wounded, and he was forced to stop.

Cao Cao was sad and then happy, and walked out with his sword.

Cao Hong jumped off the horse, helped Cao Cao, and said urgently: "General, are you okay?" ”

Cao Cao quickly calmed his mind, pulled him, and was about to get on the horse, and said loudly: "Quick, go and save Yuan Rang and Zixiao!" ”

Where is Cao Hong willing to let him get on the horse, hold him down, and say: "The general will go back to Chen County for the time being, and I will save him." You guard the general, if anything happens to the general, I will cut them down! ”

As he spoke, he forcibly pulled Cao Cao and asked him to go first.

Cao Cao ignored it, forcibly got on the horse, and said: "Zixiao, Yuan Rang is for me to break off, I can't abandon it!" ”

Cao Hong pulled the horse and said in a deep voice: "General, you can't save them like this, so I'd better go!" ”

Cao Cao got on the horse, and when he saw that the Dong soldiers who were chasing him were killed and retreated, he was very relieved, pulled the horse rope, and said in a deep voice: "This is an order!" ”

Cao Hong couldn't stop it, so he had to pull a horse and guard Cao Cao's side.

Cao Hong was responsible for escorting grain and grass, and he was behind, and there were not many people with him, only three or five hundred people.

Cao Cao and Cao Hong fought forward, and they didn't go far before they met Cao Ren.

Cao Ren was okay, with the remnants of hundreds of people, he was overjoyed to see that Cao Cao was fine.

Cao Cao sat on the horse, looked Cao Ren up and down, took his hand, saw that he was fine, breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Zixiao, it's great that you're okay!" ”

Cao Ren couldn't see that Cao Cao was here to save him, and he was moved in his heart, and said: "The general is fine, it's worth it for me to die in battle!" ”

Cao Cao shook his hand vigorously and said, "Now is not the time to speak, do you know where Yuan Rang is?" ”

Cao Ren said: "It was scattered, I looked around, but I didn't find it." ”

Cao Cao's army of 20,000 was already extremely exhausted, and was ambushed, with almost no resistance, and was scattered and fled by Huaxiong.

"Be sure to find Yuan Rang!"

Cao Cao said in a deep voice, saying that he was beating his horse forward.

As soon as Cao Ren was about to speak, he saw Cao Cao hanging on one foot, constantly dripping blood, his clothes on his back were tattered, and there were shocking blood marks.

He didn't speak again, and followed Cao Cao, looking for Xiahoudun everywhere.

I still have to avoid Huaxiong's main force, and I searched for three hours, but I still didn't find it.

The soldiers were extremely tired, Cao Cao was helpless, wiped his tears, and retreated to Chen County with thousands of remnants of the soldiers he had gathered.

"It's all my fault, and it's none of you."

In the Chen County Office, Cao Cao was treating his injuries while talking to the dejected soldiers.

Cao Ren, Cao Hong wanted to appease Cao Cao for a few words, but he didn't know what to say for a while.

Cao Cao looked indifferent, half-squinted his eyes, endured the pain, and said, "Zixiao, you must find Yuan Rang." If he is captured by Dong Zhuo, I will personally ask for someone! ”

Cao Ren was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "General, Yuan Rangji people have their own heavenly appearance, and they will definitely be fine!" ”

Cao Cao watched the doctor bandage his leg injury, the corners of his face stirred, and he said in a deep voice: "There is no need to say more. Go and rest. ”

When Cao Ren and the others saw Cao Cao say such things, they became more and more convinced in their hearts that they were not following the wrong person.

When everyone left, Cao Cao moved his leg to the side, looking at the broken leg, his expression was cloudy.

Since Cao Cao joined the office, he has experienced countless wars of all sizes for more than 20 years, but it is the first time that he has been so embarrassed as today.

Almost, it really died!

Every time he thought of it, Cao Cao was terrified and frightened.

But soon, Cao Cao restrained his emotions, turned his eyes to the door, his long narrow eyes danced coldly, and said to himself: "Dong Zhuo's goal from beginning to end is me, and for me, he designed such a big show." Now that my 20,000 troops have lost more than half, what about Fengxiao's side? ”

Cao Cao was very worried, worried that Guo Jia would also be fooled, Guo Jia still had 30,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, once something happened, then Cao Cao's 50,000 army would really be wiped out!

At that time, Yuzhou and Xuzhou will go south, and half of the country will be completely out of control.

The Han world is divided into two!

With such serious consequences, Cao Cao will die a hundred times without redemption!

At this time, Guo Jia is indeed in trouble.

It was not Dong Zhuo's soldiers and horses, but they were entangled by the Yellow Turban Army.

In Runan, Yingchuan and other places, the Yellow Turban Army has always existed, and the Yellow Turban Army, large and small, has obtained a large amount of grain and grass owned by Guo Jia, and harasses them from time to time, making Guo Jia's march extremely slow.

Xu Chu was guarding Guo Jia's side, looking at the north, and said sadly: "Military division, I should go to protect the general." ”

Guo Jia's brows have not been loosened in the past few days, riding on the horse, staring at the map, and countless thoughts are wandering in his heart.

Xu Chu waited for a while, but still said, "Military advisor, Cao Hong should stay." ”

Guo Jia looked at the map, suddenly his eyes opened, looked up to the sky and sighed, and said, "It really should be stayed." ”

Cao Cao deliberately left Xu Chu to Guo Jia, full of protection.

Xu Chu saw that Guo Jia finally spoke, and hurriedly said: "General, I will lead the army to rush forward lightly, how about catching up with the general?" ”

Guo Jia slowly lowered his head, retracted the map, shook his head, and said, "It was me who was wrong." I should have stayed in Huishimonoseki. ”

Xu Chu didn't know why, and said, "Isn't Dong Zhuo's target a general?" What did the military advisor do when he stayed in Huixiaguan? ”

Guo Jia picked up the strong tea beside him, took a sip, looked up at the north, and said, "Dong Zhuo's goal is to defeat us, and then take Yuzhou." The fundamental purpose is still Yuzhou. If I stay in Huixiaguan, Dong Zhuo's 20,000 or 30,000 soldiers and horses will not be able to move. Now, I'm afraid that Dong Zhuo has already taken Runan into his pocket. ”

Xu Chu didn't care about the so-called big things, but said: "Military advisor, are we going to meet the general?" ”

Guo Jia drank strong tea, looked south, and sneered: "How can I, Guo Jia, be so calculating!" Let's go, bypass the lower pass and go to Peiguo! ”

Xu Zhu and Le Jin were stunned and said, "Aren't we going to rescue the general?" ”

Guo Jia restrained his emotions and said with a smile: "Now, we have to curb Dong Zhuo's actions and force Dong Zhuo to return to the army!" ”

Le Jin and Xu Chu could barely understand what Guo Jia was saying, but Cao Cao's orders to them and his belief in Guo Jia made it impossible for them to refute it.

Guo Jia took another sip of strong tea, his eyes burst with coldness, and said, "Xu Chu, you take 20,000 and continue to go north." Lejin, you lead 10,000 troops with me and go straight to Peiguo! ”

Xu Chu had no objection to this arrangement, and immediately said: "The last general will take the order!" ”

Le Jin also did not object, and said: "The last general will order troops!" ”

Guo Jia nodded lightly, and took another big sip of strong tea into his throat.

He could guess who set up this poisonous plan for Dong Zhuo, but he Guo Jia was not easy to mess with!

Guo Jia, who was supposed to continue to look for Cao Cao in the north, suddenly divided his troops and went all the way to the east, directly attacking Peiguo.

Guo Jia sneaked all the way, non-stop, and Dong Zhuo raced against time.

As Guo Jia expected, when Dong Zhuo was almost wiped out by Cao Cao in Changping and the remaining 30,000 people went north to rescue, he began to divide his troops and quickly occupy various counties and counties in Yuzhou.

Dong Zhuo is also rushing for time!

The princes of all walks of life in the south have destroyed Yuan Shu and are dividing the territory, and it coincides with the summer harvest, this gap is simply too wonderful, and it is a God-given opportunity for him Dong Zhuo to annex Yuzhou and Xuzhou!

But no one expected that Guo Jia would go north less than halfway and suddenly divide his troops to the east.

This real trick was hidden from Dong Zhuo, and he also neglected to guard against Peiguo.

Guo Jia entered Peiguo very smoothly, crossed Qian County, bypassed Huixiaguan, and drove 10,000 troops to Xiang County.

"Don't siege the city, just besiege it."

Outside Xiangxian County, Guo Jia was in the dust, riding a horse, drinking strong tea, looking at the small county town, and said with a smile.

Qian County originally belonged to Peiguo, and coming to Xiang County was closer than supporting Cao Cao!

Le Jin hurriedly said on the side: "Military Division, now that Dong Zhuo has divided his troops everywhere, he hasn't gotten any news yet, and now is a good time for us to break through Xiangxian!" ”

Guo Jia didn't answer him, and said, "The one stationed in Shanyang County is Huang Zhong, the Zhonglang general?" ”

Le Jin didn't know why, and said, "Yes." In Shanyang County, there were 20,000 forbidden troops of the imperial court. ”

Guo Jia took another sip of strong tea, looked up at the big sun, wiped the sweat from his head, and said: "Peiguo is the center of Yuzhou, Dong Zhuo has been operating here for many years, and he will not give up easily." It is inevitable that a large army will be dispatched back to defend, and the general should be fine in Yingchuan, and when Dong Zhuo comes, we will retreat to Liangguo. ”

The Liang State is in the north of Peiguo, bordering Shanyang County of Yanzhou.

Le Jin didn't know what Guo Jia was calculating, but he didn't ask much: "The last general is ordered." ”

Guo Jia nodded, suddenly realized something, and was inexplicably surprised.

But when I think about it, I can't remember it.

He drank strong tea, and after thinking about it for a long time, he still couldn't catch the flash of inspiration that made his heart palpitate.

'Am I overthinking......

Guo Jia whispered secretly in his heart.

At this time, Huangfu Jianchang was in Xiang County.

Hiding in the backyard of an uninhabited house, he analyzed various battle reports collected recently with Shi A and Cheng Yu.

Cheng Yu's expression was strange for a while, and he said: "Cao Cao was ambushed by Huaxiong and Zhang Ji in Yingchuan and almost died. Guo Jia, who was a strategist, led his army to surround Xiangxian instead...... Why was Cao Cao ambushed in Yingchuan? What did Guo Jia do in Xiangxian again? ”

Huangfu Jian also looked at it for a while, and the changes in the battle situation in just ten days made him puzzled.

Shi A didn't use his brain at all, and said: "Now, what is this Guo Jia going to do, why don't you attack the city and take Dong Zhuo's nest?" ”

Cheng Yu made a judgment and said, "Attacking the city shouldn't be his goal. Guo Jia only forced Dong Zhuo's plan to annex Yuzhou fell through, or at least was greatly delayed, making it impossible for Dong Zhuo to complete some of his plans. ”

Huangfu Jianchang couldn't understand it anymore, so he could only nod his head and say, "Cao Cao was ambushed in Yingchuan, and this Guo Jia only has 10,000 people. Now, except for Yingchuan, the entire Yuzhou is going to fall into the hands of Dong Zhuo......"

Cheng Yu's face suddenly turned pale, and said, "Now, the pressure is back to the imperial court." ”

In the past, Cheng Yu judged that the imperial court put Dong Zhuo in Yuzhou in order to divert the pressure of Luoyang. Controlling Dong Zhuo within a certain range can attract firepower without losing control.

But now, Dong Zhuo is about to annex most of Yuzhou, and the imperial court can no longer stay out of it!

Huangfu Jian frowned tightly and said, "This is just the beginning of the summer harvest. The imperial court has no money or food, so I'm afraid there is no way to fight. ”

What has plagued the Han court for many years is the word 'money and grain'.

Since His Majesty ascended the throne, he has tried to restore the people's livelihood and try to keep the people from old and not hurt their wealth as much as possible.

Cheng Yu also knew it and said: "I originally expected Cao Cao's 50,000 army to restrain Dong Zhuo, but now Cao Cao has been defeated, and his troops have been lost, and he is no longer able to be used. Even if the court doesn't want to fight, it has to fight. ”

Huangfu Jian raised his head to look at him and said, "What if the imperial court can't win?" What if the Qiang people in Liangzhou, Liu Yan in Yizhou, and Yuan Shao, Liu Biao, Sun Jian, Shixie, etc. took the opportunity to make trouble? The rebellions of the Yellow Turban Army and other rebellions in the northern states are revived, what should the imperial court do? ”

The corners of Cheng Yu's face moved, and his expression stiffened and he didn't speak.

This consequence is undoubtedly the most likely, but also the most terrible!

Once there is a situation that the emperor said, the world will fall apart in an instant, and Luoyang City will no longer be the hope of the world.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Huangfu Jian took a calm breath and said: "These things, this is not our turn to have a headache, and it is up to the princes of the court and His Majesty to decide." Mr. Cheng, summarize the information we know and send it to Luoyang. ”

Cheng Yu nodded silently, things have come to this point, which is unexpected by everyone.

Cao Cao's defeat this time heralded a great change in the situation in the south, especially after the destruction of Yuan, Dong Zhuo, who was originally trapped in Peiguo, took the opportunity to get out of trouble.

Tiger, fangs bared!
