Cao Ning easily killed Shang Kexi with one shot. Cao Ning looked at Cao Cao who was looking a little embarrassed. He immediately got off his horse and said respectfully, "Father, get on your horse quickly. The child will fight on foot to protect his father and fight out!"
Cao Cao looked at the heroic Cao Ning beside him, but suddenly burst into tears, refused to mount his horse, and said sadly: "I died here, Ning'er, as a cavalry commander, how can you kill out quickly without a horse?" This dangerous place!"
Cao Ning immediately said anxiously: "If there is no peace in the world, how can there be no father?" After saying that, he took off his armor, wrapped it around Cao Cao, and forced Cao Cao onto the horse. He was only wearing a single coat and carrying a thick handle. The black spear guarded Cao Cao's horse, he cut a bloody path, snatched a war horse, and headed straight to the east.
With Cao Ning, a military commander at the top of his game, protecting him, when all the generals of the Xiliang Army are unable to take action, who can stop him?
Cao Cao, who was guarded by Cao Ning alone, moved forward and escaped for a whole night before finally escaping from the Xiliang army.
After Cao Cao broke out of the encirclement, the generals who were still fighting began to think of ways to break out of the encirclement. Therefore, after Cao Cao was safe, the generals in Cao's army also came back one after another.
"My lord, how are you?" Xiahou Dun, who was the first to arrive, came to Cao Cao's side. Looking at Cao Cao's embarrassed look, he turned over and dismounted and asked worriedly.
"Nothing." Cao Cao shook his head and said, and then asked: "Can Yuan Rang find other generals in our army?"
Xiahou Dun shook his head helplessly and said: "Since I lost my master, I only focused on breaking out of the encirclement by myself and never saw anyone else."
After hearing Xiahou Dun's words, Cao Cao's expression suddenly darkened, and he couldn't help but start to worry about the situation of other generals.
Not long after, Cao Cao and the other three saw Xia Houyuan coming over with a dozen cavalry. When Cao Cao saw that Xia Houyuan was in a sorry state, he was not dead, and he felt much calmer. However, like Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan also broke out alone and did not see the other generals in the army.
Cao Cao could only reluctantly accept this, and with that trace of worry, he began to retreat in the direction of Hulao Pass. After a while, he saw a large group of defeated troops coming towards him not far away. The person who came was none other than the missing generals Xu Chu, Cao Ren, Le Jin, Yin Kaishan, etc., as well as the front troops sent by Liu Yu. Two generals, Tian Yu and Tian Zaibiao, came to help in the battle.
After waiting for a long time, no other generals came back. Cao Cao knew that those generals who did not come back would probably never come back again in their lifetime.
After counting the generals under his command over and over again, Cao Cao suddenly spat out a large mouthful of blood and almost fainted.
In this battle, Cao Cao suffered serious losses. The elite soldiers under his command who had worked hard to train for several years were almost crippled in the first battle, and more than half of them were lost directly. Even three of his generals were killed in the battle.
Among them, when General Duan Zhixuan and several other generals worked together to deal with Yu Juluo, they were unexpectedly killed by Yu Juluo's drag knife.
In order to cover Cao Cao's breakout, Cao Zhan tried to forcefully block the former Qin fierce general Lu Guang, but was killed by Lu Guang with three shots.
As for the swordsman Oni Caozheng, when Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan retreated, he led the troops to cut off their rear. As a result, he died heroically in the rebel army, without even leaving a whole body.
Of course, the Xiliang army defeated Cao Cao so badly this time. Even if they took advantage of the ambush, they did not pay the slightest price.
Not to mention the fact that the general of the Xiliang Army who was killed by Cao Ning was gratifying. Apart from him, two other generals of the Xiliang Army died in this battle.
When Xu Chu, the tiger fool, was about to break out, Hu Guozhu led hundreds of soldiers to stop him without thinking of his own strength, hoping to rely on the strength of the soldiers to keep Xu Chu, the tiger fool, as a fierce general. In the end, Xu Chu fought his way through injuries and forced his way into the center of the hundreds of Xiliang soldiers, beheaded Hu Guozhu and walked away.
Zong Luohu met Tian Zaibiao who had escaped from the Wu brothers. He thought Tian Zaibiao was injured, so he thought he was a soft persimmon. However, he was hit on the head by Tian Zaibiao's chain electro-optical ball on the spot, and then went to another place. A world.
When the embarrassed Cao Cao returned to Hulao Pass, all the princes were empty, and only Xue Rengui, who was responsible for guarding Hulao Pass, was left!
Originally, Xue Rengui had the intention to follow various princes to Luoyang, but under a hint from Jia Xu, Xue Rengui did give up this idea and took the initiative to take over the task of defending Hulao Pass.
As one of the senior generals of the Bingzhou Army, Xue Rengui naturally knew about Li Xiang's plan. Therefore, when Jia Xu's suggestive look came, Xue Rengui immediately figured out the intention even without Jia Xu's explanation.
There are not without smart people among the various princes and their subordinates. When Xue Rengui offered to guard Hulao Pass, some people vaguely felt that maybe Li Xiang had some ideas about the land of Luoyang.
But although a few princes saw it, they were happy to see the success. Instead of blocking it, they helped Xue Rengui.
Today's Luoyang was almost burned down by Dong Zhuo's fire, and the prosperity of that day has never been seen again. Moreover, most of the people in Luoyang were forcibly relocated by Dong Zhuo. It can be said that Luoyang at this time was not only unprofitable, but also had to lose a large amount of property.
In addition, if Li Xiang really occupied Luoyang, he would inevitably have to face Dong Zhuo, who had moved his capital to Chang'an, sooner or later. Although Dong Zhuo seemed to be defeated by the coalition of princes and moved his capital to Chang'an this time, the princes had to admit that Dong Zhuo was powerful.
In exchange for Luoyang, which has been reduced to a wasteland, to have someone who can contain Dong Zhuo, in the eyes of various princes, they will not lose money in this deal!
In the eyes of various princes, Luoyang is no longer the prosperous imperial capital it once was. It has become a quagmire. It is easy to get in, but difficult to get out!
After returning to Hulao Pass, Cao Cao heard that the princes from all walks of life had set off for Luoyang. After thinking about it, it was this remnant army that finally rushed to Luoyang.
Thinking that he left in high spirits before, but now he ended up in a miserable defeat. After going to Luoyang, he would definitely be ridiculed by those princes.
But Cao Cao didn't care. When he thought that he had caused such misery this time, but those princes were drinking, having fun and throwing banquets in Luoyang, Cao Cao felt a wave of unwillingness in his heart.
What's more, leaving in such a dejected manner was not Cao Mengde's usual style. Therefore, although he knew that there would probably be an unhappy ending in the end, Cao Cao decided to go to Luoyang.
