Chapter 4 Misfortune Leads to the East
"You know me?"
Liu Zheng's words surprised Cao Cao under the city.
Cao Cao was surprised, it is indeed normal, the current Cao Cao is less than thirty years old, although he has been an official in the court for a few years, but he is not famous, this time because of the Yellow Turban Uprising, he was recruited by the imperial court and promoted to the rank of cavalry captain, also because of the relationship between Huangfu Song.
"General Cao's name, I have naturally heard of it, but I didn't expect to see the general here."
Liu Zheng's sycophants slapped up, and Cao Cao's gloomy face looked a little better.
"Tiger and Leopard Rider, that's not a bad name, I just wanted to give a name to these soldiers and horses under my command, but you gave me a good idea. Then from now on, these people will be called tiger and leopard riding! ”
"Uh......"
Liu Zheng was stunned for a moment, he really didn't expect that Cao Cao hadn't thought of the name of the tiger and leopard rider yet, and when he said this, he let the tiger and leopard rider more than ten years later take the lead on the stage of history.
"General Cao, since you have killed thousands of our soldiers and horses and returned with a great victory, can you let me go?"
Liu Zheng stubbornly began to communicate with the famous Cao Cao.
When facing the hero Cao Cao, although Liu Zheng did not kneel and beg, he did not have much courage to confront him.
Now he can still negotiate, but he only relies on the fortification of the city of Quyang County, and Cao Cao has no infantry and siege equipment.
"Let you go, you thieves, what you do is a big crime to punish the nine clans, how do you want me to let you go? If you know each other, you will abandon the city and surrender, and I will be able to open the net and leave you a whole corpse! ”
Cao Cao was more just, and in the face of Liu Zheng's plea for mercy, he did not agree.
This made Liu Zheng, who faced the hero Cao Cao, the last hope for peace talks in his heart also shattered.
Since there is no possibility of peace talks, Liu Zheng has to find another way to survive.
"Hmph, Cao Apu, do you think I am asking for peace for you, are you afraid of you, you want us to abandon the city and surrender, there is no door, to tell you the truth, our Yellow Turban Army Guo Taiqu Shuai is near the county seat of Quyang, he knows the news that we were defeated by you, he will definitely lead troops to come to support."
"Guo Taiqu Shuai, it's not as incompetent as Yang Fengqu Shuai who was defeated by you, as far as I know, Guo Taiqu Shuai has tens of thousands of elite soldiers under his command, and you have hundreds of cavalry, no matter how powerful you are, you can't be Guo Taiqu Shuai's opponent!"
Liu Zheng's move seemed to be a threat to Cao Cao, wanting Cao Cao to retreat.
But in fact, Liu Zheng understood that Cao Cao could not be threatened by him.
When he said this, he actually wanted to show that not far from Quyang County, there was another Yellow Turban Army, Guo Tai's forces.
Mrs. Guo and Yang Feng are friends, and they both belong to Xiaoqu Shuai under the command of Bocai Daqu Shuai, and the soldiers and horses under his command are actually almost the same.
However, Mrs. Guo was more knowledgeable than Yang Feng, and recruited more soldiers and horses, when Yang Feng only had 7,000 people, Mrs. Guo had already recruited tens of thousands.
And if Cao Cao heard that Mrs. Guo had tens of thousands of people, how could he lose a big loss because of a thousand people in Quyang County.
In Liu Zheng's opinion, Cao Cao would definitely give up his men in order to defeat Guo Tai.
Therefore, it seems that Liu Zheng is threatening Cao Cao, but Liu Zheng's attention is to lead to trouble.
Lead Cao Cao to Guo Tai's side, so that his life can be saved.
"Hmph, do you think I'll believe your words, when I break the gate of this county town and capture you alive, I will naturally know if what you say is true or false."
Cao Cao snorted coldly and said a sentence, which made Liu Zheng a little uncertain about what Cao Cao meant, and he didn't know if Cao Cao had understood what he meant.
However, Liu Zheng was silent for a moment and responded again.
"Cao Agui, believe it or not, even if you don't believe it, you will die, this time Bocai Daqu Shuai, gather the Quartet Xiaoqu Shuai, and go to Changshe to meet, the purpose is to catch you all."
"There are at least 200,000 people gathered in the Changshe, I only need to hold on here for an hour or two, and there will be reinforcements, and if I remember correctly, your family's Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun are trapped in the Changshe and there is a crisis at all times!"
When Liu Zheng mentioned Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song, Cao Cao's face finally had something wrong.
"What's your name?"
Cao Cao stood outside Quyang City and was silent for a long time. Finally raised his head and glanced at Liu Zheng.
Then he asked Liu Zheng a question.
"If you don't change your name, you don't change your surname, you can't change your surname, you're fighting for Liu Zheng!"
"Liu Zheng! Okay, I remember you. Let's go! ”
After Cao Cao finished speaking, he led his tiger and leopard rider to leave outside Quyang City. I don't know whether to follow Liu Zheng's advice to pursue Guo Tai's army not far from here, or to assist the three major lieutenant generals in defense.
But no matter what Cao Cao was going to do, this was a good thing for Liu Zheng, and he was relieved, at least he didn't have to face Cao Cao in a life-and-death battle.
"Then Cao Cao left like this?"
Xu Huang, who was standing beside Liu Zheng throughout the whole process, was a little surprised when he saw Cao Cao slowly withdrawing with people, so he couldn't help but ask Liu Zheng.
"Go, of course he won't go, if I'm not mistaken, he will definitely still ambush near Quyang City, and then wait for reinforcements to come and support us, and then carry out another wave of slaughter!"
"What then?"
"There is no good way to do it at the moment, we can only find ways to protect ourselves! Let our brothers go from house to house in the city to collect arrows and bows and arrows, and against these cavalrymen, only bows and arrows will work, and if there are really no bows and arrows, collect the spears! ”
Liu Zheng was silent for a moment, and after thinking about how to deal with the cavalry, he immediately gave an order to Xu Huang.
After the battle just now, Xu Huang now has a lot of trust in Liu Zheng. Therefore, Liu Zheng did not refuse what he ordered, but immediately ran to the side of these yellow turban thieves and began to tell these yellow turban thieves to act according to Liu Zheng's words.
Sure enough, as Liu Zheng expected. Not long after, the roar of horses' hooves was heard again not far from Quyang City. It seems that there is another big war over there.
Liu Zheng did not send someone over to check the specific situation of the matter, because there was no war horse on his side, and it was impossible for the people sent over to pass the news back in time.
After a while, some people in yellow turbans escaped from there.
Liu Zheng realized that it was indeed Cao Cao who once again eliminated a small group of Yellow Turban reinforcements.
"Open the gates and let these people in!"
After Liu Zheng saw that the Yellow Turban thieves who were running in the front did not bring Cao Cao's tiger and leopard horses, he immediately ordered them to enter the city.
