Cao Mengde led his troops and horses and was about to set off to the east to join Cao Hong and others when he suddenly heard the sound of rapid horse hooves coming from the other side of the mountain.
Hearing this voice, Cao Mengde suddenly felt an ominous premonition in his heart and hurriedly turned his head to look.
The sound of horse hooves was very rapid, indicating that the horses were very fast. Not long after, several figures appeared on the official road in the dim moonlight.
When these war horses arrived not far away, everyone present could not help but be surprised when they saw clearly the knights on the horses.
"General Shi Huan, you?"
The horses running back were clearly Shi Huan and others.
Cao Mengde looked at Shi Huan running in front, his expression suddenly changed, and he secretly screamed.
Shi Huan looked miserable, and two arrows stabbed in his arm were missing. He must have been seriously injured.
Shi Huan jumped off his horse, ignoring the pain, and hurriedly came to Cao Mengde, and fell to his knees with a plop.
"My Lord, I am incompetent and did not break through. Please punish me, Lord."
Cao Mengde hurriedly jumped off his horse and stepped forward to help Shi Huan up. "General Shi Huan, I don't blame you for this. Please get up quickly. Are you seriously injured?"

Shi Huan stood up with a somewhat gloomy expression, "My lord, as soon as the general and others rushed to the bottom of the cliff, countless arrows flew from the woods. As a result, only a few of us escaped back, and the rest were killed."
At this point, Shi Huan handed over his hand again, "My lord, I did not complete the task and delayed my lord's important affairs."
Cao Mengde knew that Shi Huan had not sent the news. Although he was furious in his heart, his face did not show any signs of it.
"General Shi Huan, stop talking. I don't blame you for this. Go and treat the injury quickly. If something happens, I will regret it for the rest of my life!"
Seeing that Cao Mengde did not blame himself, Shi Huan felt even more grateful and choked up his voice and said, "My lord, I am willing to try again. If I can't get through, I will never come back."
Cao Mengde shook his head and said, "General Shi Huan, you'd better go treat your injury and ignore this matter."
After Shi Huan left, Cao Mengde turned to look at everyone and asked slowly, "Now that General Shi Huan has not sent the news, and General Zi Lian still doesn't know the seriousness of the matter, what should everyone do?"
Hearing this, everyone smiled bitterly and shook their heads.
Shi Huan sent a powerful general in the army, and now even he can get through, and I am afraid that others will be even worse.
Seeing that no one said anything, Cao Mengde felt a little disappointed and asked again, "Everyone, is there really nothing you can do?"
Lu Qian suddenly said, "General Shi Huan and others passed here, but were blocked by Lu Bu's army and could not pass."
At this point, Lu Qian paused, but then, without waiting for anyone to answer his words, he suddenly asked.
"Lü Bu's army set up an ambush here to deal with us.
But when he intercepted General Shi Huan and others, didn't we discover his traces and learn about their ambush? "
Hearing this, Han Hao seemed to have a feeling and asked tentatively, "Why is this?"
Lu Qian shook his head and said slowly, "If it were me, I would never intercept General Shi Huan and others, because if we take action, our army will find their traces, so wouldn't their ambush be in vain?"
Han Hao nodded, "Yes, it is true. Since Lu Bu's soldiers want to ambush us, we should not discover their traces! "
