Chapter 436: Cao Tao Fights Again
"Cao Jun is here!"
"It's Cao Jun here!"
When Yan Xing's soldiers and horses appeared on the battlefield, the first thing they recognized was not the Xuzhou Army or the Huainan Army, but the Runan Yellow Turban thieves who had been in Runan County for a long time and had dealt with the Cao Army a lot.
When Gong Du saw Cao Jun coming, he couldn't help but feel a panic, his big face was flushed, and he almost didn't pee.
It is no wonder that after Cao Cao entered the territory of Runan, he implemented an iron-blooded policy on the Yellow Turbans in Yuzhou, either surrendering or slaughtering blood, and he was ruthless, otherwise, Liu Bi and Gong Du and others would not easily throw themselves into the pottery merchants.
Gong Du was somewhat unproductive, and subconsciously wanted to run away, but then was appeased by Liu Pi.
Liu Pi hit his horse to Gong Du and Zhou Cang, and said to them: "Shicai is between the battlefields, I deliberately deceive and lead General Zhao to lead the army to rush into the middle of the Huainan army......"
Speaking of this, he heard Zhou Cang unceremoniously interrupt him and said: "Brother Liu, you think too much, you can't fight General Zhao without cheating." ”
Liu Bi gave Zhou Cang a fierce look.
This man like a black tower is now extremely convinced by Zhao Yun, and looking at Zhao Yun is like seeing a mother-in-law who is about to be, with green light in both eyes.
To put it mildly, Zhao Yun is just pulling a bubble of now, and Zhou Cang has to say that it is just right to eat salty.
Liu Pi ignored Zhou Cang's admiration for Zhao Yun, and continued: "I wanted to lead General Zhao into the battle, but General Zhao refused verbally, and now it seems that Taifu had already sent troops to Cao Cao to compete with the Huainan army, so he didn't let us act rashly, so as not to be taken advantage of by Cao's army!" ”
Gong Du said nervously: "Then at this moment, what should we do?" ”
Liu Pi slapped his thigh fiercely, gritted his teeth and said: "Fortunately, I waited for Chen Bing here, and I never drove the troops with Liu Xun to compete with General Zhao!" If we don't help Taifu drag Cao Jun now, and enter Xuzhou in the future, how can there be a place for our brothers among the generals? ”
Zhou Cang shook the ring knife in his hand and said loudly: "That's right!" Brother Liu, it's not been a year or two since a certain family has known you, and today I heard you say a few words with backbone! Today's battle, I Lao Zhou took it first! ”
Liu Bi raised his hand to stop Zhou Cang and said: "You two will arrange a formation first to resist the Cao army, and wait for me to get Yuan Yao's military order and summon Liu Xun back!" ”
After that, he beat the horse and rushed towards Yuan Yao of the rear army.
Cao Jun suddenly appeared in the field of vision of Huainan and others, only Yuan Yao's face turned pale, his whole body trembled like a sieve, and cold sweat fell to the ground with big drops down his cheeks.
"Lord!" Liu Pi flew away, ran to Yuan Yao's side, and began to talk nonsense with one mouth: "Lord! Cao Jun is cunning and dangerous, it has already been decided that we will go from Xuzhou Road to Hebei! If you don't follow the way of Yuzhou, if you go to Yuzhou according to Liu Xun's words before, how can we still have our lives now? ”
Until this time, Liu Bi did not forget to blacken Liu Xun in front of Yuan Yao.
But what he didn't expect was that he was really crooked this time, Liu Xun and Cao Cao did have a plot in private.
Yuan Yaoyi grabbed Liu Bi's hand, and was moved to almost tears.
"It's a loss to listen to General Liu's loyal words, if you follow Liu Xun's words to take the three rivers from Yingchuan, I'm afraid that my life will be suspended! It's just that now that Cao Jun is here, what should we do? ”
Liu Pi arched his hand and said: "Don't worry, the last general will definitely protect the lord to the death, and don't let Cao Jun hurt the lord's hair!" Please recall General Liu Xun as soon as possible and assist the last general to defend against the enemy together! ”
Yuan Yao hurriedly nodded and said, "Exactly, that's right!" ”
……
The Yellow Turban thieves on Liu Pi's side temporarily blocked the attack of the Cao army for Yuan Yao, and Yuan Yao also listened to Liu Pi's words and hurriedly ordered someone to recruit Liu Xun to quickly lead the troops back to protect him.
The problem is that Liu Xun was already in the same group as Cao Jun as early as Shouchun.
The sudden appearance of Yan Xing and the others not only surprised Yuan Yao and others, but also surprised Liu Xun.
remembered that when he and Liu Bi were arguing about which way to go north, when he and Liu Pi were arguing with reason, Liu Ye secretly grabbed him, thinking that he might have had a desire for this at that time.
In this way, Liu Ye's wisdom is higher than himself.
Cao Jun came to attack Yuan Yao and others in the rear, and Liu Xun still commanded his soldiers and horses to continue to attack Zhao Yun's camp as if he had nothing to do.
And Zhao Yun himself watched the arrival of the Cao army led by Yan Xing, Zhang Ji and others, and also shrank back and let the soldiers and horses begin to hold the camp steadily, which is quite a bit of a wait and see.
Zhang Xun, Li Feng and other generals saw that Zhao Yun had taken a defensive position, and the rear army of the rear lord was being attacked by Cao's army, and the situation was very bad, so they couldn't help but be shocked and panicked.
Zhang Xun immediately made a decision, hurriedly moved from the front line to the rear, and asked Liu Xun.
"Gong Liu! The rear of the lord is now being attacked by the Cao army! Liu Bi and Gong Du's Yellow Turban Army is not fully clothed, I am afraid that it may not be the opponent of Cao Jun, we still need to quickly retreat for reinforcements, if it is too late, I am afraid that the lord will lose! ”
Liu Xun secretly said in his heart, what I want is to make him lose!
But Liu Xun naturally can't say this.
He pretended to have a thoughtful expression, gritted his teeth and said: "Although there is a sneak attack by Cao Jun in the rear right now, Liu Bonai is a god general in the world who can be compared with Zhao Yun, and with him to protect the lord, it will be nothing to do!" At present, Zhao Yun blocking our camp is the only way for us to escape and ascend to heaven, if we don't break through, we will be attacked by the enemy on our backs, and sooner or later we will die...... No refund! ”
Zhang Xun heard this and said hurriedly: "But does the lord's side ignore the safety?" ”
Liu Xun said affirmatively: "With Liu Pi as the world's fierce general, I want to come to nothing!" ”
When Zhang Xun heard this, he couldn't wait to slap Liu Xun to death.
What did he think about it?
"General Liu! The lord is in deep danger, besieged by the Cao army, the slightest carelessness is the situation of death and defeat, at this moment, you, how dare you abandon the lord's life! ”
Liu Xun didn't pay attention to Zhang Xun, but still gave orders to his subordinates to attack Zhao Yun.
Zhang Xun gritted his teeth, glared at Liu Xun angrily for a long time, and when he saw that he was unmoved, he yelled: "Okay!" Since you don't care about the danger of the Lord's safety, then I will lead my troops and horses back to savior the Lord. ”
Liu Xun was finally moved when he heard this.
He turned his head and glared at Zhang Xun angrily, and shouted, "Zhang Xun, do you dare to disobey the army's orders? ”
Zhang Xun roared righteously: "You are the Lujiang Taishou appointed by the Hou General to the imperial court, and I am the Jiujiang Taishou appointed by the Hou General himself, you and I have the same position, how can you disobey the order?" ”
Liu Xun gritted his teeth and glared at this Zhang Xun, he even had the idea of commanding his subordinates to kill him at this moment.
But Zhang Xun also has a group of cronies and soldiers behind him, and if he really does it to him at this moment, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Since this is the case, we can only hope for Cao Gong's arrangement.
……
Xuzhou, Lugu.
The main force of the Chinese army led by Cao Cao himself has been here for nearly ten days.
Because Yuan Shao in the north and Liu Biao in the south were on the side, Cao Cao did not dare to bring more generals, and this time he only brought the Chinese soldiers and horses in Xuchang City, but only the combat power of these tens of thousands of Cao troops, looking at the world, is also very powerful, and it is by no means idle.
The spies of the Eagle and Snake Mansion brought the news to Cao Cao as early as when the potters were hundreds of miles away from Lu Valley.
In Lu Gu's big tent, Cao Cao couldn't help but sneer after listening to the scout's report.
"The pottery merchant is a master, he has some skills, and he can actually calculate the place where Cao's troops are stationed, or not, this time Cao will meet you again for a while, and see who is the real overlord between you and me in this vast land of the Central Plains!"
