what to do?
Cao Mengde knew very well that Cao Hong would never divide his troops unless he received his order, which meant that the entire army would inevitably be annihilated.
Cao Mengde suddenly turned to look at Cheng Yu and asked tentatively, "Mr. Zhongde, do you have any idea?"
Cheng Yu shook his head, "No."
His answer was very concise, but it made Cao Mengde's heart sink.
Cheng Yu is one of the most important counselors under him. He has always been scheming, but there is nothing he can do now. Doesn't that mean that Cao Hong's army will definitely be annihilated.
Thinking of this, Cao Mengde turned his head and looked at Shi Huan, calmed down, and said slowly, "General Shi Huan, if you don't pass the news on, I'm afraid General Zi Lian and his 2,000 troops will be wiped out."
Shi Huan looked at his lord's burning eyes and reacted immediately in his heart. He hurriedly raised his hands and gritted his teeth and said, "My lord, if you have anything to do, just ask me, and I will do my best to complete it."
Cao Mengde said word by word, "General Shi Huan, I ask you to deliver a message to General Zilian, are you willing?"
Although Shi Huan had already had a premonition in his heart, he was still shocked when he heard this order.
But he was very loyal to Cao Mengde and immediately handed over his hand, "As long as the lord orders it, I will be willing."
Cao Mengde nodded with satisfaction, "In that case, Shi Huan, please pick some soldiers and horses and go immediately to deliver a message to General Zilian. Once the matter is accomplished, there will be a heavy reward."
"I will obey my orders."
Shi Huan responded hurriedly, turned around and strode away, taking 30 guards with him, jumping on his horse and heading towards the mountains.
Cao Mengde looked at the backs of Shi Huan and others leaving, and suddenly said to the guard next to him, "You guys should go together, too."
The reason why he sent these guards was to see if Shi Huan could rush through.
Everyone watched Shi Huan leave, their hearts hanging tightly, but at the same time, they were a little sad.
There is an ambush by Lu Bu's army in the mountains. This has been settled. Now Shi Huan has to go and break into it. I'm afraid it will be really dangerous.
Whether you can come back or not is a matter of luck!
At this moment, there was the sound of rapid horse hoofbeats from behind, and a spy rushed over. Seeing Cao Mengde, he jumped off the horse in a hurry, raised his hands and said.
"My lord, Lu Bu's army behind has accelerated and is coming here quickly."
Cao Mengde was shocked when he heard the news, and then he remembered that there were soldiers and horses of Lu Bujun behind him.
Lu Qian said hurriedly, "Lord, we'd better leave here as soon as possible. If it's too late, it will be terrible if Lu Bu's son has another trick."
Le Jin suddenly said, "My lord, since there are not many Lu Bu troops behind, why don't we set up an ambush and defeat them in one fell swoop."
After hearing this, Cao Mengde pondered for a moment, nodded, gritted his teeth and said, "Since they are chasing after them, let's eliminate them in one fell swoop to avoid future troubles."
When everyone heard this, they immediately became energetic and said, "I will obey your orders."
…
The bright moon hangs obliquely in the sky, and the sky is full of stars.
A group of soldiers and horses were hurriedly on their way, and the urging voices of their officers kept coming from among them.
"Boost!"
"Whoever dares to delay will be dealt with by military law."
This army was the 2,000 men led by Cao Hong. They were rushing eastward, hoping to escape from the encirclement of Lu Bu's army.
Cao Hong looked at the dark sky in the distance and the looming mountains on the side, sighing constantly in his heart.
I originally thought they were chasing 1,000 Lu Bu Army soldiers, but I never expected that it would turn out like this.
