Chapter 67 Cutting off the beard and discarding the robe
late at night,
Yecheng, in the mansion.
It was cold late at night, and Guo Jia was wearing mink fur to deal with government affairs, but at this time he was a little restless and felt like he couldn't say it.
After a long time, he put down his pen and ink, coughed twice, and said to the guard at the door of the mansion: "How long have you been there for lord?"
"Military advisor, you've asked for the fourth time."
The personal guard was quite helpless, but he still said patiently: "The lord went there for two days and two nights, and in a few hours, it will take three days."
"Two days and two nights!" Guo Jia said in a silence, "The three armies gallop day and night, afraid that they will travel more than 80 miles a day. So, the lord and the others have chased for nearly two hundred miles."
"This is only more than two hundred miles away from Bowang. I think the lord will have already taken action tonight. If nothing unexpected happens, Zhang Xiu will be defeated, but I always have an ominous premonition in my heart."
"Military advisor, don't think too much. It's cold late at night, so you can rest as soon as possible and wait for the lord to return to triumphantly." The guard said helplessly.
Guo Jia couldn't fall asleep and his face was full of anxiety.
And at this time,
Cao Hong walked quickly with a serious expression.
"Zi Lian, what's wrong?"
"Military advisor, what do you think this is?" Cao Hong looked gloomy and took out a linen from his arms. The linen was covered with ashes, occasionally mixed with a few black things.
"Is this..." Guo Jia raised his eyebrows and looked at it for a moment. His eyes suddenly shrank, "Is this the burning rice?"
Cao Hong focused his head and said in a deep voice: "Hong also felt that this was rice. The military advisor asked the last general to investigate day and night, and found clues after several inconspicuous houses in the north of the city."
Guo Jia stepped forward and pinched the residue. It was still crisp and had some moisture. I thought that I had just buried it for a few days, and I was shocked and said anxiously: "How many quantities?"
"Huh," Cao Hong breathed heavily, "A lot, it can't be judged from the ashes, but Hong thought that these grains might not be less than 50,000 hu."
Words out,
Guo Jia took two steps back.
His eyes were panicked and he immediately said anxiously: "It's broken, I've been trapped!"
"Zi Lian, hurry up and consolidate more than 10,000 troops and follow me to the south. I hope things are not that bad." Guo Jia's eyes sank and he said anxiously.
"When the general arrived, he had already ordered his personal guards to hold orders to reorganize the army." Although Cao Hong was not a wise man, he buried tens of thousands of rice ashes in the city for no reason, and he knew what this meant.
"Come here, go and notify General Le Jin quickly and ask him to lead the remaining people to close the four doors. If it weren't for my or my lord's personal arrival, you must not open the city gate." Guo Jia said in a deep voice.
Hopefully everything is still in time.
Or the lord has seen through the enemy's tricks.
Otherwise, the lord may be defeated.
You should know that this trip was a pursuit and killing. Cao Cao only personally led two thousand iron cavalry, and Cao Ren was just commanding 20,000 infantry. Cao Cao did not have an advantage in terms of military strength.
That night, Guo Jia and Cao Hong led the army to gallop and stayed in Le to defend the city.
…………
And at the same time,
On the battlefield of fighting and shouting.
At this time, the front battlefield had been taken over by Wen Pin and Huang Zhong. Even if Cao Ren tried his best, he would not be able to defeat the soldiers. For a moment, Cao's army gradually began to be defeated.
After all, the three armies were exhausted and before they even had time to have enough food, they chased into the battlefield. The combat power was self-evident. In addition, Zhang Xiu's iron cavalry was like a tiger, and no one could take the opportunity to rush left and right.
"General, retreat, it's too late to retreat!" Many generals beside him shouted anxiously.
Cao Ren's face was filled with pain, his steel teeth were clenched, his body was trembling, he brought these soldiers with one hand, and he died one after another, and his heart was so heartbroken!
At this time, he glanced at the battlefield with his eyes left and right, and he was confused. The soldiers did not know the generals, and the generals did not know the soldiers.
Only Xu Huang and others, with their bravery, could resist one or two of them, and the rest were one-sided, and some of them had even begun to scatter and escape.
Cao Ren knew that things could not be done.
"Lord, what about lord? Have you ever seen lord?" Cao Ren suddenly came back to his senses, and shouted to his generals anxiously.
Everyone shook their heads, and one of them said, "Go back to the general, General, just now, General, led the Iron Cavalry to kill the enemy's back, but Zhang Xiu led the Iron Cavalry to rush over."
Cao Ren's pupils suddenly opened his anger and said anxiously: "What's the matter?"
"The last... the last general saw that the iron cavalry led by the lord was killed by Zhang Xiu. The lord's life and death were uncertain, and the remaining iron cavalry seemed to be heading northwest." The general hesitated.
"Hmph, life and death are uncertain, that means you are still alive. If you dare to talk nonsense again, you will chop your head." Cao Ren shouted with a trembling body.
After saying that, he glanced at him, stepped down from the stage and turned over to his horse, shouting: "Tell me the order that the three armies evacuate to the northeast. If those who are separated, all will go towards Yecheng."
"No!" Everyone was drinking.
As the retreat order was conveyed, the already shaky defense line collapsed instantly, and almost all the Cao army dared to fight were abandoned and fled north in panic.
For a moment,
Under the darkness, in that wilderness.
Before I knew it, countless corpses were buried, and the blood had already stained the wilderness red. The smell of blood in the sky was disgusting. The broken limbs, broken arms, flesh and liver were scattered everywhere.
As the battlefield shifted, the originally noisy war-torn place fell into silence again. A few torches were burning, and many uninvited guests and wolves were also welcomed!
…………
And at the same time, the winding path.
At this time, the sound of horse hooves shook the sky, and the fighting sounded endlessly. Hundreds of cavalry galloped, followed by more than a thousand iron cavalry led by Zhang Xiu and Zhao Yun.
Looking at Cao Cao who was fleeing in panic, Zhang Xiu couldn't help but see a picture in his mind, and he couldn't help but raise his gun and shout: "The person in the red robe is Cao's thief, who is chasing Cao's thief!"
After saying a word, more than a thousand riders behind him shouted loudly.
In the distance, listening to the shocking shouts, Cao Cao looked back and saw more than a thousand iron cavalry galloping towards him, which scared him to his heart.
He pulled open the iron buckle and threw the red robe out.
Zhang Xiu was happy and looked at Cao Cao who looked back from time to time. He shouted again: "The one with the long beard is Cao's thief, who is chasing Cao's thief."
After the words fell, the riders shouted again and chased after him.
Of course, it is difficult to distinguish here, but Cao Cao's frightened bird was not hesitant, and he pulled out the sword of the sky from his waist, stroked his beard and cut it off directly.
"The one with the broken beard is Cao's thief, Cao's thief should not leave." Zhang Xiu found that he was so bad that he locked Cao Cao and hung up all over. As for the beard ghost, he could notice it.
Of course, Cao Cao didn't think so, because the more than a thousand iron cavalry really kept chasing him, and many hundreds of iron cavalry slipped away behind him.
Listening to the shocking shouts, Cao Cao's face turned black. This is endless? Why don't I shave my head and show you?
But no matter how annoying he was, he still honestly pulled a piece of rag and wrapped his beard, thinking that you can't find yourself now, right?
Zhang Xiu pursed his lips. Cao Cao was indeed Cao Cao. He was a ruthless group, and his true nature was undoubtedly revealed.
