When it was confirmed that reinforcements were difficult to reach, Cao Ren, who had been holding on for five months and had not been at a disadvantage in the battle, chose to break through under the persuasion of everyone.

He believed in Chang Diao's judgment on the school affairs, and because he did not see the shadow of reinforcements in the past few months, he was exhausted physically and mentally, leaving was also a way.

In the middle of the night, Jiangling quietly opened the city. Cao Ren did not open the north city directly, but turned to the north after opening the door of the west city. He took Cao Hong as the vanguard and turned to the north. Behind his own palace, the remaining soldiers who were injured and difficult to leave during the previous battle were ordered to set fire in the south city.

Cheng Pu from Nancheng thought Cao Ren was raiding at night, so he quickly asked the soldiers to line up in an orderly manner.

But after waiting for a long time, he did not see Cao's army leaving the city. Only then did he realize some problems, but he was really afraid of Cao Ren in the previous field battle. Cheng Pu was not sure if this was Cao Ren's trick, so he did not dare to approach the city to check, and immediately notified Zhou Yu that Cao Ren might launch an attack.

It was through this precious time that most of the Cao army had moved north. Zhou Yu, who had been injured, heard that the city was open in the west, and immediately realized that Cao Ren was about to run away. He dragged his sick body to get on the horse and summoned his subordinates to pursue him. However, when most of the Wu army generals heard that Cao Ren had left, they were reluctant to pursue this celestial general. Only Gan Ning and Xu Sheng carried out Zhou Yu's order without saying a word and led their troops to bite Cao's back team.

If both sides were fighting in a field, Cao Ren was not afraid of the Wu army at all.

But now he wanted to run away, and the entire army was extremely nervous. The people behind the palace were already limited, and Cao Ren did not dare to fight. He hurriedly directed the soldiers to escape.

Gan Ning and Xu Sheng were also people who had been on the battlefield for a long time. When they were sure that Cao Ren was indeed retreating, they were not in a hurry to attack the entire army, but instead cruised on the periphery of Cao's army, organizing small-scale assaults from time to time, and constantly shooting arrows with strong attacks and shaking Cao's army formation.

This move really made Cao's army trampled on each other. In the dark, countless people were trampled and kicked over by their companions. The scene was extremely chaotic for a time, and even Cao Ren could not control it.

After fighting until dawn, Gan Ning saw that most of the Cao army had dispersed, he immediately gathered all the people under his command who dared to fight and offered a heavy reward. Under Xu Sheng's cover, a hundred people were like one, as if a trapped giant had clenched his fists and smashed them hard at the side of the Cao army.

The hundreds of cavalry attacked, and indeed tore a huge gap between Cao's army. Cao's army, who had been busy all night, was extremely nervous and was instantly defeated by Gan Ning's hundreds of cavalry. Cao Ren had no choice but to cheer up his spirit and fight Gan Ning alone. Without Cao Ren's command, Cao's army's rear team was in chaos and was fought at will by Xu Sheng.

With the glimmer of dawn, Zhou Yu's rear team also appeared in sight. The drums outside Jiangling City were like thunder. In the dense drum beats, the Wu army launched an unprecedented full-army assault.

Even if they can't keep the entire Cao army, they must keep Cao Ren today!

Cao Ren's dirty Rong robe was stained with blood.

Gan Ning's martial arts were comparable to Cao Ren, and even faintly above Cao Ren. The two fought for a long time. Gan Ning was stabbed twice by Cao Ren's iron halberd, and Cao Ren also hit Gan Ning's right arm, and blood was flowing.

Could it be that I, Cao Ren, will die here today?

Cao Ren looked at the dark head in the north with unwilling resignation.

This time, he had tried his best to defend the city and took out everything he could. He did not have much fault, but reinforcements were unable to break through the enemy's obstacles for a long time, and Cao Ren was now forced to break through the siege.

It seems that I can't escape today.

"Cao Ren, you won't surrender yet!"

Gan Ning's knife was fast and ruthless, and while Cao Ren was in a daze, he was already at a loss.

Seeing the enemy's tide coming, Cao Ren roared angrily:

"Rats, if you have the courage, come and take Cao Ren's head!"

Gan Ning laughed loudly, and was about to cheer up and fight Cao Ren again, suddenly he heard a dense drum beat coming from a distance, and a bold voice called out loud:

"Is General Zixiao in front of me? Xu Huang is here!"

Xu Huang!

Cao Ren's heart, which had already sunk to the bottom of the valley, woke up instantly. He looked in surprise in the distance, and saw a group of neat warriors coming from the horizon. He was the first to be like a god in the glimmer of light. It was Xu Huang, the general of Cao's army who had been away for a long time!

"Gongming!" Cao Ren laughed loudly, then cheered up his spirits. The iron halberd in his hand was like lightning. He had already returned to his body with the strength of the empty tank. He shouted loudly and took Gan Ning.

When Gan Ning saw Cao Ren's despair, he saw reinforcements and couldn't help but sigh to the sky.

Xu Huang took the lead, and his new forces fought bravely. The Wu army could no longer resist and was forced to retreat.

Xu Huang became more and more brave as he fought, and he fought a bloody path and ran away quickly to protect Cao Ren. Xu Sheng still wanted to chase him, but he saw that there seemed to be reinforcements from Cao's army in the distance, so he could only sigh and let Cao Ren retreat.

After a fierce battle this night, more than 1,000 people from Cao Ren's rear team were almost wiped out. Fortunately, most of the main forces of the front army escaped.

Seeing Xu Huang who came to pick him up and Le Jin who came afterwards, Cao Ren couldn't help but hugging his head and cried with them, and had nothing to say for a moment.

Le Jin and Xu Huang were injured all over, and their soldiers were exhausted, obviously they had experienced a hard battle.

Le Jin even swallowed and apologized to Cao Ren, saying that they had fought with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei for a long time, but finally broke through the siege. Li Tong had already opened up the periphery of Jiangling, but was injured in the fierce battle with the enemy. He died in a desperate situation less than 30 miles outside Jiangling City.

"The soldiers under a certain army were almost wiped out. If they had not met Wenda's defeated army halfway and had barely formed a single army, almost no one would be available." Xu Huang looked quite sad and apologized to Cao Ren.

After all, Cao Ren was the commander-in-chief of one side. Seeing that the two of them tried their best to rescue him, he could not bear to blame him.

"What are the crimes of the two generals? If you hadn't fought to death, I would have almost trapped to death in Jiangling City.

Zi Lian and I should be the one who is Xie Gong and others.”

Le Jin and Xu Huang looked at each other, and another faint smile appeared in their eyes.

Cao Ren was born as a hero and was the most loyal person.

In this battle, the two young men and two generals of the Cao family have all received their rescue grace. Can these four people be tied together and still not match Xiahou Dun? Moreover, Li Tong died in battle in this battle. Xu Huang took the opportunity to acquire his subordinates, and said with high emotional intelligence that Li Tong died exhausted on the way to come. After that, Cao Cao would definitely give Li Tong a title of marquis to appease his family.

In this way, Xiahou Dun wanted to use Li Tong to control Le Jin and Xu Huang's plan to be completely invalid. His only reliance now is Yunshan, and Yunshan...

He is his own person.

Speaking of which, Xu Huang was unwilling to do such despicable and dirty things that harmed his colleagues.

But Xiahou Dun was too lying to check Xu Huang's accounts and wanted to use Li Tong and Yunshan to replace Xu Huang, which was clearly intended to completely deny Xu Huang's contribution.

Although Li Tong is innocent, he and Xiahou Dun become Xu Huang's enemy when he stand together. Xu Huang is older than Guan Yu and has long passed the age of revenge.

His relationship with Le Jin had already had a crack, but the two of them united in this matter to fight against Xiahou Dun. Le Jin gained fame and Xu Huang maintained his status. Later, Xu Huang transferred out of Jingzhou. Le Jin could dominate one side. Both sides hit it off and became good friends again.

Of course, Yunshan’s planning is indispensable.

"If I don't let it go this time, I will have almost no place to bury myself." Le Jin said leisurely.

He told the truth - from Li Tong's confidant, he learned that among the tasks assigned by Xiahou Dun for Li Tong, there was the task of rescuing Cao Ren and forcing Le Jin to give up his military power and go north.

Le Jin was still in a bit embarrassed when he first planned to deal with Xiahou Dun, but when he heard about this, he felt hatred in his heart and wanted to kill Xiahou Dun immediately to vent his anger.

I dare not deal with Cao Hong, but I am so unrighteous to me.

OK, when did I, Lejin, do something to be sorry for the Prime Minister? I wish I had sold this life to the Cao family, and then it ended up like this?

Do you really think that Le Jin is not a pure minister of the Han Dynasty and cannot support the Han Dynasty?

"Gongming, before...how did you contact Guan Yu this time?" Le Jin asked in a low voice on the way back.

After this incident, the two of them had the other party's handle, so their friendship was naturally not comparable to before, so they just told the truth.

Xu Huang said:

"I fought with Zhang Yide, captured his men and agreed to exchange prisoners.

I didn't contact Yun Chang, but just told Zhang Fei about Li Tong's march."

He paused and said cautiously:

"What, what do you want to do?"

"Hmph, I am the same as my country, what will happen? Now..."

He squeaked his fists: "I am old and I will not be able to dance in a few years. I should also think about the things I have left behind. The truth is, we are all Han officials, so what can't be said?"

"I have done so many things for the Prime Minister, and Xiahou Dun is still very scheming. I finally understand what Xu You did back then. Alas, I, Xu Huang, feels so sad!!"

·

When Xiahou Dun heard that the siege of Jiangling had been lifted, Cao Ren and Cao Hong joined Cao Pi and Cao Zhi to the north, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, everything went well.

He predicted that Le Jin Xu Huang's family was in the north, and he had to strive forward in this battle and dare not rebel. In this battle, Xu Huang's army and Zhang Fei were seriously injured, and most of the people under Le Jin were scattered, which shows the tragic battle of this battle.

Le Jin kept complaining in the military newspaper, saying that the casualties under him and Xu Huang were extremely tragic, which made Xiahou Dun sneer.

He looked through the military newspaper proudly, but his eyes suddenly solidified.

"Wanda...Wanda?"

In the military newspaper at the bottom, Le Jin described an insignificant little thing lightly - Li Tong, the prefect of Runan, fought hard in a fierce battle, and encountered a Lu Fort blocking the way. He also got off the horse and moved away from the Lu Fort himself. He was the first to kill near Jiangling and met Cao Ren. Unfortunately, before he met Cao Ren, Li Tong suddenly died due to illness. Xu Huang accused his subordinates and finally rescued Cao Ren. He is now on his way back.

Xiahou Dun's fingers kept trembling, and waves of dizziness came from the skull, causing his fingers to tremble continuously.

Dead?

Wenda is dead?

How could Xiahou Dun choose a seriously ill person to save Cao Ren?

Li Tong was strong and even if he suffered from incurable diseases halfway through, he would not have died suddenly before he could reach Jiangling.

After that, Xu Huang happened to have annexed his troops and horses, this military newspaper...

"All nonsense!"
