Chapter 767: Capturing Wu Zhi alive
It is said that although Cao Pi had Sima Yi sitting in the army, he was still the first brother on the battlefield, he was full of blood, and he had an absolute advantage in strength, so Zang Ba, the vanguard, was captured, and he was already hot-blooded. Coupled with the encouragement of his friend Wu Zhi, Cao Pi finally decided to conquer Baojia himself without waiting for the army to gather.
Sima Yi knew that he must not underestimate Zhang Liao, but he also knew that Cao Pi was stubborn and cruel, so he could not forcibly stop Cao Pi from taking action, so he secretly arranged for generals Dai Ling and Fei Yao to ambush him halfway, waiting for Cao Pi to retreat before he came out. The savior can protect Cao Pi's life.
Sure enough, Zhang Liao had already made preparations and set up a large antler trench formation outside Chenliu City, ostensibly displaying a no-war sign, just waiting for Cao Pi to take the bait. As expected, Cao Pi was fooled and rushed forward with the intention of showing off his skills in persuading the enemy general. Zhang Liao saw the opportunity and could not miss the opportunity. He gave an order and sounded the gongs, drums and horns. The ambush troops rushed out bravely. Suddenly, the yellow sand in the sky covered Cao Pi's figure. Cao's army command system It suddenly failed. Those behind wanted to step forward to rescue them, while those in front retreated to resist the ambush. For a while, people and horses trampled on each other, and the whole army fell into chaos.
In the loess sky, all Cao Pi could see clearly was Wu Zhi's frightened face beside him. His ears were filled with the rumble of horse hooves and the howling sounds of ghosts and wolves trying to capture Cao Pi alive. Even though Cao Pi was still calm, he knew that he had no choice but to turn the horse's head and run away. He made a decisive decision and whipped the horse's butt hard. He no longer cared about Wu Zhi beside him, relied on the horse's superb horse, and stabbed the horse diagonally with a small killing sound. Killed out of the place.
A dozen guards around Cao Pi immediately followed Cao Pi and killed him. They surrounded their master for fear of being hit by a hidden arrow. But the strange thing is that although there were continuous killings, there were no cold arrows from the enemy. Cao Pi did not have to worry about avoiding, and his escape speed immediately increased a lot.
Wu Zhi was left behind by many guards. He only heard the shouts of killing one after another from behind, and the rumbling sound of horse hooves getting closer and closer to him. He only screamed in pain, and felt a chill in the back of his heart, and on his neck and collar. The hair on the inside stood on end, and he suddenly turned his head to look around and saw no one around. He couldn't help but slap the back of his head to scare himself.
Wu Zhi smiled bitterly and turned his head. Suddenly there was a loud bang, and countless gold stars appeared in front of his eyes. It turned out that the horse followed the front team and jumped into the bushes. There happened to be a cross branch blocking the road, which happened to be the height of Wu Zhi's head. It looked like an egg. Wu Zhi's face was covered with blood when he hit the stone and fell into the dust.
Among the loess in the sky, a sharp spear tip was exposed first, followed closely by a horse. The general on the horse was handsome and mighty, and he was fully clothed. It was Chen Liu who caught a glimpse of Wu Zhi who fell to the ground, and reined in the horse with a groan. He actually showed a smile. Then he pointed the gun and said, "Take him back and treat him well."
Behind Zhang Liao, the knights Chenliu emerged from the loess like ghosts. Some went to take care of Wu Zhi, and the rest followed Zhang Liao, all chasing him. The woods were sparse and not very dense. Cao Pi's black and golden armor loomed in the jungle. In the blink of an eye, he came out of the woods and ran straight to Yuwangtai Road.
Zhang Liao wanted to show his ability to the Cao family. He tried his best in this battle and took advantage of Cao Pi's arrogance to constantly provoke Cao Pi's anger. As expected, he won a great victory. Seeing Cao Pi fleeing in such a panic, Zhang Liao couldn't help but have a doubt. If he returned with a great victory, why did he have to surrender to Cao Cao? If he killed Cao Pi and defected to the Qinglong Army, what kind of treatment would he receive?
Zhang Liao shook his head slightly and smiled bitterly, then tried hard to put these thoughts out of his mind. Everyone said that Lu Bu was in the Qinglong Army. If he surrendered to the Qinglong Army, wouldn't he have to succumb to Lu Bu again? I never want to live such a day again. It's a pity that Zhang Liao's life was miserable. He had only a few soldiers and few generals, but he only occupied a small area of Chenliu. He would eventually be annexed. Since he can't be the lord, he has no choice but to live in a tree. Now it seems that the Cao family has strong soldiers and strong horses, occupying the land of Qingyan, and the people are prosperous. Maybe Cao Cao will be a wise master.
Thinking of this, Zhang Liao sighed slightly, looked at Cao Pi's running back, and snorted disdainfully. People say that Cao Cao is a hero, but his son does not know much about the art of war. He claims to be in charge of an army of 100,000, but he was beaten to a pulp by a mere few thousand cavalry.
Zhang Liao felt depressed and suddenly raised his gun and roared wildly. Upon hearing the general's call, the following troops spread their horses and chased him at a crazy speed. Before Zhang Liao's roar ended, suddenly there was a loud shout from the side, and a group of cavalry came out from one side. The leader of the group was Dai Lin. Zhang Liao was startled when he heard the thunderous sound of hoofbeats on the other side. Another general was holding a horizontal sword, it was the young general Fei Yao. Two groups of cavalry sprinted at high speed and suddenly broke Zhang Liao's cavalry into three sections. The formation immediately collapsed and fell into a situation of fighting on their own.
Zhang Liao did not expect to be ambushed by the opponent. He was so frightened that he thought this was a trap set by the enemy. He no longer cared about pursuing Cao Pi, so he turned around and fought the two generals. The two generals fought against Zhang Liao, but they were stretched thin. Zhang Liao's spear was like a They were so elusive that the two of them were only half-covered and half-blocked. Dai Ling saw Zhang Liao's bravery and knew he couldn't take it, so he winked at Fei Yao. The two knew that Cao Pi had gone far away, and Zhang Liao's army gradually recovered from the chaos. After several loud roars, the two of them retreated, leading The cavalry quickly disappeared out of the jungle.
Panting, Zhang Liao reined in his horse, tightened his grip on his steel spear, and ordered the troops to withdraw immediately. Zhang Liao's surprise was no small matter. Who would have thought that the enemy had such a superior force and still arranged an ambush in the dark. Thinking about defeat before thinking about victory, this person's arrangement is indeed no small matter, but I don't know who this person is? With such an expert assisting the Cao family, Zhang Liao secretly felt ashamed.
Cao Pi and Zhang Liao gathered their troops, and peace finally returned to Chenliu outside the city. Zhang Liao silently rode back, ordered his men to guard the city gate, and sat down in Hucheng. After thinking for a long time, Zhang Liao finally ordered: "Hurry and invite all the generals to gather at my city lord's palace. Bring Wu Zhi and Zang Ba to the city lord's palace."
His subordinates thought that they wanted to invite all the generals to interrogate the enemy chiefs, so they hurriedly went to invite them. Zhang Liao rode back to the city lord's palace, changed into his daily home clothes, and looked like a young official. He ordered his servants in a personable manner: "Prepare a banquet."
The servants immediately became busy, but within a short time, chicken, duck, fish and meat were served in a stream, filling a whole round table. Zhang Liao was waiting in the side hall. Wu Zhi and Zang Ba were reported to be brought there, and Zhang Liao ordered them to be brought up. Wu Zhi's nose was covered with a thick layer of gauze, and he was sandwiched between two strong men. He walked forward tremblingly. Zang Ba didn't care. He glared at Zhang Liao and lowered his head without saying a word.
Zhang Liao saw that the two of them were bound with ropes, so he quickly stood up and personally untied them. Wen Yan told them to sit down and watch tea. Wu Zhi didn't know what he meant. He was trembling and didn't dare to sit down. Zang Ba snorted and said, "Stop pretending. If Zang Ba surrenders again, won't he become a capricious villain? I will never surrender to the death!"
Zhang Liao coughed and said: "Xuan Gao, you and I were brothers, how could I kill you?" He pointed his hand towards the Xuan Hall and said: "I invite you here today, it's just a simple meal."
Zang Ba snorted and said: "Eat! If it's a decapitated meal, I, Zang Xuangao, would never be afraid of coming." After saying this, he walked into the hall, found a seat, and started chewing without ceremony.
Zhang Liao smiled and made an invitation gesture to the pig-headed Wu Zhi, and said: "General Wu, please!"
The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was intentional. Zang Ba's words of deprivation scared Wu Zhi so much that he almost wet his pants. Wu Zhi stood up tremblingly and looked at Zhang Liao. The more he looked at him, the more he looked like a smiling tiger. Then there was a stench that made him pee.
If you want to know what happens next, listen to the explanation next time.
