Zhang Xiu's face full of pain was always filled with doubts.
This was not the first time he had dealt with Cao Ang. He knew Cao Ang's strength, but today he was crushed from beginning to end.
Why?
Zhang Xiu's mind was filled with questions, but before he could speak, Cao Ang's spear stirred and was drawn out with a cloud of blood.
thump!
Zhang Xiu fell to the ground, his neck crooked and he lost his breath.
Cao Ang looked at the dead Zhang Xiu, but his mind started to change. The culprit of this battle was not Zhang Xiu.
Jia Xu is the man behind the scenes.
If Zhang Xiu is alive, the endless Xiliang soldiers will besiege him, and Cao Ang must evacuate. Now that Zhang Xiu is dead, it is the opportunity to fight back.
Not only must we fight back, but we must also capture Jia Xu.
After Cao Ang had an idea, he ordered: "Anmin, chop off Zhang Xiu's head, and we will kill him back with Zhang Xiu's head."
Cao Anmin said anxiously: "Zixiu, Zhang Xiu is dead, should you evacuate immediately?"
"If you don't retreat, kill again."
Cao Ang gave the order firmly and looked back at Cao Anmin. Under the sharp gaze, Cao Anmin shuddered, feeling that Cao Ang was becoming more domineering.
Cao Anmin wanted to refuse, but he said, "Okay, I'll listen to you."
He cut off Zhang Xiu's head and carried it away, then followed Cao Ang and Dian Wei back to kill him. While the group was killing, they shouted that Zhang Xiu was dead and refused to kill anyone who surrendered. They were invincible wherever they passed.
Not only that, the few Cao soldiers who were fighting alone on the battlefield also gathered together, and gradually there were more than fifty people.
When Cao Ang led his men to charge, it was in the center of the camp.
In Jia Xu's camp.
Fifty-year-old Jia Xu was drinking tea and reading a book, looking relaxed and comfortable. Even though the sound of killing outside was loud, Jia Xu didn't take it to heart.
In this battle, Cao Cao will undoubtedly lose.
"Report!"
A soldier hurried in, looking panicked: "Military advisor, something serious has happened."
Jia Xu stroked his beard and said calmly: "How can you be so flustered? It's such a big thing, I have my own military advisor and General Zhang here. Tell me, if you encounter something, tell it slowly."
The soldier said anxiously: "Report to the military advisor, General Zhang has been killed."
Jia Xu's expression froze instantly.
He recovered with difficulty, stared at the soldier and asked, "What did you just say?"
The soldier quickly replied: "Military advisor, General Zhang was killed by Cao Ang. Now, Cao Ang, with Dian Wei and others, is coming to kill us, and the entire army has collapsed."
hiss!
Jia Xu took a deep breath.
Looks shocked!
Even more unbelievable.
He had seen Cao Ang, and unlike Cao Cao, a fat black man with a short stature, Cao Ang had a heroic appearance, spoke in a calm manner, and had a good personality. He was a good young man.
Cao Ang is not a strong general, how can he kill Zhang Xiu?
The key is that Cao Cao has already fled in panic, Cao Ang and others are trapped in a tight siege. The current fighting is the end, and Zhang Xiu is in a situation of guaranteed victory.
Why did he die suddenly?
Jia Xu had countless doubts in his heart, but he didn't have time to think about it. He stood up and walked out. At the same time, he ordered: "Go quickly and leave as soon as possible."
"Want to leave now? It's too late!"
A cold voice came, and Cao Ang strode in, pointed his spear at Jia Xu's chest, and asked: "Jia Xu, how do you want to die?"
Jia Xu's heart sank.
Can't leave.
Jia Xu always focused on saving his life, and said without hesitation: "Young Master Cao killed the rebellious Zhang Xiu, and I admire him for his unparalleled bravery. Xu has been wandering for half his life, and has never met his master. I would like to worship him as my master."
"really?"
Cao Ang stroked the spear in his hand, his eyes seemed suspicious.
Jia Xu noticed Cao Ang's murderous intention, as if he really wanted to kill him, and his scalp was numb. They all said that Cao Ang was pure and filial. Is this true?
Thief Cao is not a good person.
The same goes for Cao Ang.
Neither father nor son are good birds.
Jia Xu's expression became more and more respectful, and he bent slightly and said, "Everything I say is true. Although I have little talent and little virtue, I am willing to devote all my knowledge to serving the lord. Please accept it."
Cao Ang nodded slightly, took back his gun, nodded and said, "Jia Xu, I hope you didn't lie."
Jia Xu said quickly: "My lord, I am absolutely telling no lies."
Cao Ang captured Jia Xu and ordered: "Let's go, further defeat Zhang Xiu's troops and surrender the prisoners."
The leader of the Xiliang soldiers was killed, and Jia Xu surrendered. Below was a mass of loose sand, just in time to collect the prisoners.
"Report!"
Just at this time, a soldier ran in and said: "My lord, there are shouts of killing from the south of Wancheng. Liu Biao's army is coming. I don't know how many troops there are."
Cao Ang sighed in his heart.
Pity!
If Liu Biao had come later, he would have surrendered the Xiliang soldiers and completely controlled the situation.
"Retreat, retreat immediately!"
Cao Ang decisively gave the order, took Jia Xu and others, and found some war horses. All the people rode northward, along the direction of Cao Cao's retreat.
After Cao Ang retreated, the other side.
Cao Cao withdrew all the way to Wuyin County. When he saw that there were no pursuing troops in the rear and that he was joined by Xia Houyuan, Cao Hong and others who were rescuing him, he ordered to set up camp and repair.
After the defeated Qingzhou soldiers gathered together and Yu Jin withdrew, Cao Cao dealt with the matter between Yu Jin and the Qingzhou soldiers, and everything stabilized.
In the evening, Cao Cao came outside the camp and looked back from time to time.
His general Dian Wei did not come back, nor did his son, and his good nephew who understood him was also behind.
Don’t know if I can come back safely?
Cao Cao waited, and a few soldiers escaped back. They all said that the rear was blocked by Zhang Xiu's Xiliang soldiers, and it was difficult to escape.
Cao Cao's heart sank and he looked sad.
Cao Pi was also in the army.
However, he did not follow him to Wancheng.
Cao Pi was more than ten years old. Although he was young, his mind was already mature. When he learned that Cao Ang was trapped in the rear, he felt a little sad.
What's more, it's joy.
Cao Pi was deeply influenced by his mother Bian, and he could not express his emotions or anger. He took the initiative and said: "Father, the eldest brother Jiren has his own destiny, and he will definitely return safely."
Cao Cao glanced at Cao Pi sideways, and then looked back instantly.
After a moment of silence, Cao Cao looked at Guo Jia aside and asked, "Feng Xiao, do you think Zixiu and Dian Wei can escape?"
Guo Jia comforted him: "My lord, the eldest son will definitely be safe. Dian Wei and Cao Anmin are good at fighting, and they will definitely be able to lead their men out."
Cao Cao looked back expectantly.
As night fell, the official road was deserted, and no one came back.
Cao Cao collapsed on the ground, greatly shocked.
He has always been an optimist and will not be afraid even if he encounters a desperate situation. Even when Chen Gong and Zhang Miao betrayed, Cao Cao walked out.
Now, Cao Cao couldn't bear it.
Cao Cao's eyes were red, and he gritted his teeth and said, "It's all my fault. If I hadn't acted recklessly, there wouldn't have been Zhang Xiu's rebellion."
"Dianwei cut off my rear and asked me to withdraw. After Jueyingma died in the battle, Ang'er gave me the horse and protected me in retreating."
"If it weren't for me, how could it be like this?"
"How sad it is for a white-haired person to give away a black-haired person! Ang'er is gone and I return to Xudu. How can I explain to my wife?"
Cao Cao's body was trembling slightly, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Fengxiao, I was hurt by women's sex, and I am so embarrassed. From today on, I will quit sex!"
Guo Jia comforted him and sighed in his heart.
If something like this happened, there was nothing we could do about it. Who made the lord fail to control the second child, so that even Zhang Xiu, who surrendered, betrayed him?
"Report!"
Just at this time, a soldier ran back and reported: "Qi Sikong, the eldest son and the others are back."
Cao Pi's expression changed slightly, but he regained his composure instantly.
Guo Jia, Xun You and others looked happy.
Cao Cao stood up instantly, kicked off his feet and ran back. He decided that as long as his son came back safely, he would quit sex for a month and never go to the city to find a widow!
