Chapter 306: Escape on a Winter Night
The remnants of the defeated army will run to the fifth watch, Cao Cao's mouth is dry, look back, far away from the firelight, take a breath, and then look outside, only to see the trees are thick, the mountains and rivers are steep. ◢ with ◢ dream ◢ small ◢ .lā
"Where is this?" Cao Cao asked.
"Prime Minister, this is the west of Wulin and the north of Yidu. Xiao Xiao quickly replied.
Cao Cao looked around carefully, laughed and said, "Generals, it's really funny, hahahaha......"
"Why is the prime minister laughing?" Cao Cao's smile made everyone laugh, and no one knew what he was laughing at.
"Rank general, can you pay attention, the terrain here is very dangerous, I don't laugh at others, I only laugh at Zhou Yu'er and Zhuge Villager's ability to use soldiers!"
But everyone didn't think it was funny at all. In their hearts, they secretly said: People don't know how to use soldiers yet, this fire is about to burn us out, and if we use soldiers again, our little life will have to be explained here.
Cao Cao continued: "Although the Battle of Chibi defeated us, it was purely a fluke. If I use soldiers, I will ambush a group of men and horses here, and our remnants will be defeated here, and they will ambush people and horses to rush out, how can you and I be killed?"
He was smiling happily, and Zhao Yun on the side had been in ambush for a long time, and he couldn't listen to it anymore. sneered, waved his hand, and the cannon roared in all directions, and the fire burst into the sky in an instant. Cao Cao was frightened, but he could only hear Zhao Yun shouting loudly: "Where is Cao Cao, Zhao Zilong has been waiting here for a long time in the name of Zhuge Military Division!"
This voice was not loud, but it scared Cao Cao out of the sky, his eyes turned black, and his head almost fell off the horse with a "buzz".
Xu Huang held on to the side: "Prime Minister, you have to sit tight, Zhao Yun is here!"
The flames were rising to the sky on all sides, and Zhao Yun pointed his spear at Cao Cao and said, "Where is Cao Cao!"
Cao Cao urgently ordered Xu Huang and Zhang He to fight Zhao Yun, and he turned his horse and ran. Everyone looked up and saw that this was the young hero who fought Cao Jun in Changbanpo. At the time of Changban Slope, when Cao Bing was strong, now he is the general of the defeated army, who dares to confront Zhao Yun? The soldiers and generals will throw them when they crackle, throw helmets, throw armor, throw big flags, anyway, they can run fast.
Xu Huang and Zhang He also have no fighting spirit, but Zhao Yun's spear is like a pear blossom, and he has always advanced and retreated. With one enemy and two enemies, there is no fear.
She has excellent tricks, and the long sword of the day is three thousand miles away, killing countless enemies, and even attracting heavenly punishment. At this time, there are only two generals on the other side, so what is there to be afraid of? It's just that she is not afraid, but Zhang He and Xu Huang are bitter, and the two of them join forces to make a trick and force Zhao Yun to retreat a few steps, Zhao Yun let out a long howl, and was waiting for the prancing horse to rush up, but when she looked up, she saw that the two had run away without a trace.
At this time, Duan Dahu leaned out of the grass and shouted, "General Zhao, let them go." ”
Zhao Yun smiled: "Don't worry, I will scare them, otherwise your righteous brother still doesn't know me." ”
Duan Dahu smiled bitterly: "Does he still know you? To know your true identity, you must be frightened." ”
Zhao Yun commanded the soldiers to rush forward and kill, beheading the generals to capture the flag, but he did not chase hard, so after robbing and killing a few Cao soldiers, he picked up things, what armor, swords, horses, kettles, dry food bags, etc., everything. Cao Cao doesn't feel sorry for these things now, but the Jiangxia camp is actually short of military supplies, so he can have a little bit of it.
Besides, Cao Cao ran with the remnants of the defeated army until the sky was light, at this time the dark clouds were pressing, the southeast wind was blowing strongly, and suddenly there was a thunderbolt in the air, and Cao Cao was so frightened that he fought a cold war: Why is there still thunder in the south this winter?
As soon as he looked up, a torrential rain fell from the sky. This time, Cao Cao's remnants of the defeated generals were stupid: they were burned in the river just now, and now they are poured on the shore, which is better than the "fairyland on earth". In the middle of winter, the sky is slightly bright, this is the coldest time of the day, there is no clothing on the body, there is no food in the belly, the rain is poured, some of the bodies have seen a thin layer of ice ballast, and the wounds on the body are still very painful.
Xu Huang, Zhang Liao and others had deep internal force, and they used internal force to force out the cold in their bodies, and smoke lingered on their heads, like a steamer.
But how can ordinary soldiers have such good martial arts?
Some people really couldn't walk, so they trembled and said, "Prime Minister, let's rest for a while and get some food." ”
Cao Cao saw that everyone was so embarrassed, how could he not be embarrassed? He also felt a little hungry, and he shivered on his horse. But what are you going to eat? The bags of dry food are all thrown away, and you can't eat the bark.
"All right, let's set up camp here, and you go and find some food. Cao Cao dismounted and smiled appeasedly.
Cao Jun searched everywhere, and finally scraped together some rice and salt, Cao Cao ordered: "Hurry up and bury the pot to make rice!" As soon as the sergeant bent down and hadn't buried the pot yet, he heard a big chaos behind him, and someone shouted: "Prime Minister, it's not good, there are chasing soldiers!"
Cao Cao was shocked, shuddered, and shouted: "Get on the horse, run!"
He turned over to the horse, and was about to fight the horse, and when he looked back, there were only more than 200 people, and this team was scattered and scattered, and the destitute was no different from himself, not like a pursuer, but like a deserter. Cao Cao saw it, laughed, and said, "Xu Chu and Li Dian, you two are here!"
It turned out that Xu Chu and Li Dian were unable to find Cao Cao after the fire in Chibi, so they escorted the strategists to retreat. But they were also burned again, and they were chased and killed by the pursuers, and they were all extremely embarrassed. Now that I have arrived in this grove, I am very lucky.
Cao Cao looked at the strategists, one was worse than the other, his hat had fallen off, his clothes were torn, his beard was burnt, some of his boots were gone, some of his eyebrows were burned, and his face was black and blue. All the strategists are famous people in the world, don't look at the strategists so embarrassed, when they saw Cao Cao, they hurriedly stepped forward to salute and surprised Cao Cao.
Cao Cao thought to himself that it was still a cultural person who warmed his heart, and he also comforted him with good words: "Gentlemen, this is not a safe place, let's hurry forward." ”
"Prime Minister, where is our army going now?" asked the strategist Xun You.
"I originally planned to go back to Xuchang via Jingzhou, but now I can't go, and the Jiangdong generals have already set up an ambush. Although Nanjun is close to Jiangdong, Jiangdong Zhou Yu must not have expected that we would go to Nanjun, and he had to go to Nanjun if he was blind. Let's go to Bennam County and get to Gangneung, which road is the closest?"
Taishou Lu Qian said: "Prime Minister, there are two roads in front of you to Jiangling, one is a big road, the other is a small road, the big road leads to the South Yiling, and the small road leads to the North Yiling. ”
"Which road is closest?"
"Take the North Yiling, through the mouth of the Hulu Valley, this road is the closest. ”..
"Okay, I'll go to the North Yiling Tomb right away. ”
At this time, although the rain was a little lighter, there was already water on the ground. Every time everyone took a step forward, they had to grit their teeth and be ruthless. Cao Cao immediately understood that these remnants of the defeated generals had reached their limit, and as soon as this rain poured, if they didn't eat something, they might not be able to survive.
"Everyone, not far ahead is the mouth of the gourd valley, let's rest there, let's kill a few horses, cook some food, and also roast the fire along the way. Cao Cao pretended to be relaxed and comforted.
