When Cao Cao heard the shouts in the distance, he felt a little dazed for a moment, and then said with great joy: "Catch him!"
"No matter what the conditions are, I will let him be used by me!"
"If I win Zilong, the world will be settled!"
Before he finished speaking, the counselors and generals around him looked over with strange expressions.
They thought that Cao Cao was crazy?
The other party is now not only Zhou Mu, who is on the same level as Cao Cao, but also Yuan Shao's son-in-law. What can he do to attract him?
And the most important question is, why does Zhao Yun appear here?
When Cao Cao saw everyone looking at him like a fool, he realized that Zhao Yun's status was no longer what it used to be, and he was afraid that he would not be able to gain his loyalty!
Thinking of this, Cao Cao felt a sense of disappointment in his heart. This ferocious tiger was very accurate in reading people, and he was quick to strike, beating him several times!
He was still a little unwilling, waved his hand and said: "The Youzhou Army is at the end of its strength, and he can't change the overall situation even if he comes here alone!"
"All the generals who can go up, surround him, and try to capture him alive!"
He knew that Xuzhou was bound to win. Not only did he have to win the battle, but he also needed to fight to support the war and get more generals and soldiers!
Previously, Cao Jun defeated Liu Bei's army at night. He originally wanted to capture Liu Bei alive and force him to surrender. Then he recruited two powerful generals, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, to offset the losses of this expedition to Xuzhou and even make a lot of money.
As a result, Liu Bei disappeared, which frustrated Cao Cao's hopes. Now he can only hope to kill Yuan Xi and then recruit his advisers and generals.
Now that Cao Cao saw Zhao Yun rushing over, he was immediately excited and made up his mind to capture Zhao Yun alive!
Dozens of generals from Cao's camp took orders to mount their horses and surrounded Zhao Yun. They thought to themselves that they had dozens of people here, how could they be afraid of Zhao Yun alone?
When Yuan Xi saw Zhao Yun arriving in time, he finally let out a long breath and turned around in his heart.
Guo Jia noticed the anomaly in Xuzhou in advance and consulted with Zhao Yun. Zhao Yun immediately took all the elite cavalry he could mobilize in Jicheng and rushed to Yuyang Harbor overnight, taking a boat directly to Haixi.
Before boarding the ship, Zhao Yun sent a messenger from Jicheng, followed the secret station route laid out by Yuan Xi earlier, went south to Jizhou Qingzhou, and went directly to Haixi to report the news.
After exhausting several horses, the messenger finally arrived at Haixi and delivered the letter to Yuan Xi more than a day in advance, letting Yuan Xi know Zhao Yun's movements.
This is Yuan Xi's courage to dare to use his body as bait. The hundreds of elite cavalry in Jicheng, the most elite force of the Youzhou Army, are now in their prime, and they brazenly launched an attack on Cao's army!
Seeing Zhao Yun leading hundreds of Youzhou cavalry, they broke into Cao Chun's cavalry like a whirlwind. Cao Jun's cavalry fought continuously, and their condition was not much better than that of Youzhou soldiers. When they were suddenly attacked, they were all smashed to pieces and fell into pieces. Called Ma Ma.
When the generals in Cao's camp saw it, they all roared and surrounded Zhao Yun. When Yuan Xi saw it, he shouted: "Zilong is here!"
"Everyone come together!"
Many Youzhou soldiers had participated in the Battle of Anyi. They saw Zhao Yun kill three generals Li Jue with their own eyes. At the moment when their reputation was shocked, they became inspired again, shouted and rushed forward to fight with Cao Jun.
At this time, Zhao Yun was trapped in Gaixin by the generals of Cao's camp. He fired his spear like falling snow on pear blossoms, with silver light flashing all over his body, stabbing at the vital points of the generals.
He recharged his energy, wore the best armor, and used the best gun, which actually prevented the exhausted generals of Cao's camp from getting close. Several of the weak martial arts were wounded as soon as they met, and they were almost killed by a He was stabbed to death in front of his face, and he quickly dodged in panic, but instead hindered the people next to him, and dozens of people became a mess.
Zhao Yun saw that the opponent was a little unable to perform, so he realized that this was an excellent opportunity. He took a deep breath, his face turned red, and the gun in his hand suddenly doubled in speed. With a bang, the gun tip pierced the throat of a Cao general.
The tip of his gun shook and drew a circle with a puff of blood. The blood spattered blinded one general's eyes. The man subconsciously raised his hand to cover his eyes. Zhao Yun's gun arrived early and stabbed him under the arm. , stabbing him to the core.
The generals were frightened and angry, and stabbed Zhao Yun randomly with spears and spears. When Zhao Yun saw that the opponent was outnumbered, he turned his horse's head and ran away. A general had already grabbed the horse, pulled out the sword from his back, and slashed Zhao Yun's vest.
When everyone looked, it was Cao Cao's sword-wielding lieutenant Xia Houen. He was holding a sword, the Qingzhi Sword, and relying on the sharpness of the weapon, he asked Zhao Yun to cut off the horse.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Yun twisted his waist and lay on his side on the saddle. The steel gun in his hand had already made a big circle like a swimming dragon, and pierced Xia Houen's face like lightning.
Xia Houen screamed and fell off his horse to death, but Zhao Yun raised the tip of his spear, picked up the sword in his hand, and took it in his hand.
With a casual move, he cut off the thigh of Cao Jie, who was chasing him. The man fell off his horse and rolled on the ground screaming.
These movements were extremely fast. In just a few blinks, three people in Cao's camp were killed. The generals were shocked and couldn't help but slow down their pursuit.
Zhao Yun also exhausted a lot of energy, took a few big breaths, and took the opportunity to distance himself.
Xun You saw it from a distance and said anxiously to Cao Cao: "Your Majesty, if this dragon and tiger are not eliminated, it will definitely become a disaster!"
"Now that I want to capture Zhao Yun alive, I don't know how many generals' lives it will cost!"
Cao Cao's expression changed several times before he finally made up his mind and issued the order: "Kill them all, leaving no one behind!"
After hearing this, the generals in Cao's camp put aside their worries and surrounded Zhao Yun one after another, greeting him at his vital points. Zhao Yun was unafraid, charging left and right with a steel spear in his hand, fighting in and out of the crowd, wherever he went. , some people kept screaming to death.
All the generals knew that Zhao Yun would run out of strength at any time, but they were overwhelmed by his courage and did not dare to approach him for a while.
But everyone present knew that the cavalry charging into the formation could not change the overall situation. Now Cao's army came in like a tide and surrounded the Youzhou army. They would be killed just by relying on human lives!
As time passed, Zhao Yun's physical strength continued to decline, and Cao Cao's army gradually regained the initiative on the battlefield. Cao Cao burst out laughing when he saw this.
Everyone didn't know why, Cao Cao laughed and said: "I am already at the end of my strength by laughing at the fierce tiger. If he ambush an army here."
Before he finished speaking, another infantry troop came running from a distance, and the leading general shouted: "The camp is here!"
I don’t know how many people were killed. After hearing this, Lu Lingqi, who was already exhausted, smiled at Yuan Xi and said, "Uncle Gao is here!"
Seeing hundreds of trapped troops rushing into the field, Yuan Xi smiled bitterly. This time he was able to show off all his elite troops.
After Zhao Yun boarded the ship from Yuyang harbor, he was closely followed by Gao Shun, who was training in the trap camp in Yuyang.
After he got the news, he immediately gathered hundreds of traps and followed Zhao Yun on another boat to the south. Because the soldiers on the boat were easier to manage than the horses, he caught up a lot of distance on the sea, so he entered the scene only a moment later than Zhao Yun. .
Cao Cao also had a look on his face when he saw that the trapped camp had joined. It seemed that Fierce Tiger had made sufficient preparations for his surprise attack in Xuzhou?
Isn't he really just trying to plot against himself?
Once this idea arises, Cao Cao becomes suspicious. If this is the case, does the other party have any other plans?
Cheng Yu said coldly: "Your Majesty, now we must kill him at all costs, and then retreat quickly!"
"Otherwise, Yuan Shujun and Yuan Tanjun, who are spying on us, will attack us even more when they see that we are so weak!"
After hearing this, Cao Cao waved his hand decisively, and the two sides strangled each other again.
The battle lasted from morning to afternoon, and both sides did not rest for most of the day. People on both sides continued to fall, and the battle became more and more fierce. However, Cao Jun finally took the initiative on the battlefield with his numerical advantage.
No one dared to look at the ground, because the ground was already covered with dense corpses and blood, making it difficult to even walk.
However, the two great counselors Cheng Yu and Xunyou who were watching the battle beside Cao Cao gradually became relieved, because they saw that although most of the Youzhou army could still stand, in half an hour their physical strength would be completely exhausted. , no one can run away by then!
Gao Shun touched the blood on his face, approached Yuan Xi and said, "Your Majesty, I will fall into the camp and try my best to open a gap so that the young master and his wife can escape!"
Lu Lingqi said: "Where is Uncle Gao?"
Gao Shun's expression remained unchanged, "I will rely on Shijun and Marquis Wen to avenge me in the future."
Lu Lingqi's eyes turned red after hearing this, and Gao Shun shouted: "Why are you doing this, madam!"
"This is a battlefield. Why are we all here? Madam, haven't you figured it out yet?"
Lu Lingqi endured her grief and said, "I will definitely remove Cao Cao's head in the future!"
She knew that after a while, she would break through, and she didn't know how many people were left, but Gao Shun would definitely not survive after breaking through!
Yuan Xi looked solemn, "I won't say anything more. If anyone dies, the living people will avenge today's revenge!"
When Cao Cao saw that the Youzhou Army began to shrink its formation, he knew that the opponent could not withstand it anymore, and his heart finally fell to the ground.
He also paid a huge price this time, but being able to kill Yuan Xi and occupy Xuzhou was a sure profit for him. Only in this way could he deal with Yuan Shu without any scruples, increase his strength, and then completely defeat Yuan Shao. Fall out!
It doesn't matter if more than half of the 30,000 soldiers die. You can still recruit troops when you go back. When the time comes to start a war with Yuan Shu, as long as you win a few battles, you can capture a large number of the opponent's soldiers, and your strength will increase dramatically!
The premise of all this is that the fierce tiger cannot interfere with itself.
Cao Cao's counselors found in countless deductions that no matter what the situation and outcome, Yuan Xi was the biggest obstacle.
With this person in Guangling, Cao Cao would not only be unable to attack Shouchun with peace of mind, but he would also be plotted by Yuan Xi. Therefore, Cao Cao decisively decided that even if Yuan Xi was a descendant of the Yuan family, he must be killed!
In the face of the generous rewards from Xuzhou and Yuzhou, it is definitely worth taking the risk of going to war with Yuan Shao and killing Yuan Xi!
Seeing that the winner was about to be decided on the battlefield, while Cao Cao was determined, an idea emerged.
The other party should have no backup plan, right?
He laughed a few times, and everyone looked at him. Cao Cao laughed and said: "I laugh at that fierce tiger and the mountain is exhausted, if..."
But on the noisy battlefield, some slightly unusual sounds were heard.
This dull and rapid sound, from far to near, came from the rear of the rear army led by Cao Cao!
Cao Cao quickly turned his horse's head, and everyone followed his gaze to the plain behind them. They saw a figure riding on a horse, rushing towards this side.
Red horse, green robe, green dragon and moon sword!
The Qinglong Sword dragged on the ground, pulling out sparks more than ten feet long along the way!
Cao Ren saw him and exclaimed: "It's Guan Yu!"
"Be careful of his sudden attack, Yan Liang will be killed by him!"
After hearing this, everyone protected Cao Cao one after another. No matter how fierce they were, there was only one person. How could he be stronger than Zhao Yun?
Why did General Zhang Yi of Wudang Feijun fight with Wudang Feijun in a final battle to the death even though he borrowed money for medical treatment in history? Why did Prime Minister Zhuge not join up with Zhuge Dan of Wei State, knowing that he would soon die from exhaustion if he defeated six states in one state? Why did Prime Minister Zhuge's successor become so exhausted that he died of illness? How charming is Liu Bei? You will know it after reading "Mihan". I highly recommend the excellent book "Mihan"~
