Chapter 701: Victory and Defeat Clear

Looking at the white cloth army taking the lead, Cao Cao's eyebrows furrowed slightly, his mouth moved left and right a few times, and he pulled out his matching sword with a choked sound.

"Wait for the order, a hundred meters away from the prime minister is the boundary, if anyone exceeds, kill on the spot, and spread the words of the original minister, it is said that the survivors of the northern camp were captured by the Li army, greedy for life and afraid of death and surrendered to the Li army, who is listening to the demagoguery, beheaded!"

When Cao Cao's personal guards heard the order, they hurriedly set off to get busy, and as Cao Cao's words reached the army, Cao's army suspended some of the rout.

Knowing that Cao Cao personally supervised the battle, the Cao generals also gritted their teeth and began to ruthlessly kill those who retreated, in order to stabilize the morale of the army.

Under the persecution of death, Cao Jun had no choice but to resist.

The rout stopped, and Cao Cao felt a little at ease, but before he could slow down, suddenly there was an incredible scene in the army ahead.

Zhang Xiu's general, Hu Che'er, was originally arranged in the middle, but with his intention, he is now at the intersection of the two armies.

At this time, Hu Che'er suddenly led the army to kill the Cao army who had intersected with him, and shouted surrender to save his life.

"Cao Cao is untrustworthy, indiscriminately kills innocents, and dies left and right anyway, it's better to do the opposite, and the chance of living is greater......"

The situation that was finally stabilized disappeared with Hu Che'er's words, and the situation became even worse.

Cao Jun was dissatisfied with the suppression, but at this time, someone took the lead, making their resistance greatly increased, and people kept putting down their weapons and taking refuge in Li Jun.

"Zhang Xiu, you are looking for death." Looking at the situation out of control, Cao Cao's face was cold, he already understood what was going on, and gritted his teeth and roared.

It seems that it is impossible to hold out until dark, so the only way to do this is to retreat early to avoid worsening the situation.

"Quickly go and inform Xun You and the others, just say that the situation has changed, and let them retreat with the army left behind in half an hour."

It seems that Cao Cao is ready to retreat, but he did not order Mingjin to withdraw his troops, it seems that he wants to delay a little time for Xun You and others.

Cao Cao did not leave, and General Cao naturally did not dare to retreat privately, so he could only fight fiercely with the Li army and kill the surrendered soldiers.

After an hour of fierce fighting, the situation was completely one-sided, if it weren't for Cao Cao, I'm afraid that Cao's army would have collapsed long ago.

At present, Cao Cao saw that the goal of delay was achieved, and he no longer did more useless struggles, pulled out his horse and left, and conveyed Mingjin's order to withdraw his troops.

As soon as the retreat sounded, Cao's army quickly took over the cover and quickly divided the battlefield, trying to get out of the engagement.

But Li Jun had already expected it, and he didn't leave a chance at all, and he bit it to the death, seeing that he couldn't get rid of it, and the general forced the headquarters to stay behind and fight for the army to retreat.

Yu Banzhi has a clear distinction between public and private, and regards the soldiers as his own, so the headquarters has not been affected much, and he is willing to stay with him.

With Yu Ban's break, Cao's retreat accelerated, and Li's army lost the opportunity to pursue, so he could only turn to besiege and kill Yu Ban's department.

Cao Cao fled for dozens of miles, and saw that there were no chasing soldiers behind him, so he temporarily integrated the soldiers and horses, and counted them down, and found that there were less than half of the army left, and he was depressed for a while, but after thinking about it, he was secretly happy.

If you can have these soldiers and horses now, and get rid of Li Jun's entanglement, then you will not be without resistance in the future, it can be regarded as a great luck, Cao Cao secretly comforted himself.

"Report! Yu Ban led his troops to surrender to Li Huiyi, and Li's army had begun to pursue. ”

"What." Cao Cao, who was repairing himself and was in a better mood, couldn't help but stand up in surprise when he heard this, his eyes were cold.

Looking at the soldiers kneeling in front of him, Cao Cao suddenly drew his sword and stabbed him to death with a sword. "Yu Ban is loyal to his own minister, how can he surrender, what is the use of leaving you, a person who bewitches and shakes the hearts of the army."

At this time, regardless of whether Yu Ban surrendered or not, Cao Cao had to treat it as a fake, after all, the morale of the army could no longer be damaged.

In addition, looking at the ordinary performance of the ban, unless it is a last resort, it will not surrender easily.

Seeing that Cao Cao stabbed to death to report to the soldiers, the hearts of Cao Jun around him were put down.

Cao Cao glanced at it secretly, and when he saw the soldier's expression, he was also a little relieved, and in order to avoid any further mistakes, he decided to continue on his way.

Along the way, there were constantly routs catching up with most of Cao Cao, converging together, and retreating towards Hanoi.

After a half-year-long stalemate, Guandu finally decided the winner and Li Huiyi, who won a big victory, did not stop attacking.

Instead, he ordered the army to march quickly, constantly forcing into Cao Cao's rule, preparing to take advantage of the situation to expand the results of the war, and wanted to completely defeat Cao Cao in a battle.

The small city of Zhongmu, not far from Guandu, because of the rapid march of the Li army, the Cao army did not resist too much at all, and had abandoned the city and fled.

It was effortless to take down Zhongmu, and Li Huiyi also decided to rest for a few days, after all, he was desperate to chase and be easily ambushed.

Moreover, Cao Cao should not organize troops for a second battle in a short period of time, unless he is sure of victory, so there is no need to be in such a hurry.

Because the city of Zhongmu was too small to garrison a large army, Huiyi placed most of the soldiers and horses outside the city, and only led the remaining more than 2,000 Jinyi guards to rest in the city.

The army triumphed all the way, and Li Huiyi was not stingy, while sending people to urge the escort grain army to follow urgently, and on the other hand, he held a celebration banquet.

Li Jun ate hotly, the people of Zhongmu, life can be miserable, because of Li Huiyi's rejection of the family, so the Zhongmu family, seeing that the situation is not right, also followed Cao Jun to escape, so the people's livelihood in Zhongmu is almost paralyzed.

Although Li Junqiu did not commit any crimes, the people had no food, and they were also living at home like a year, and some people had taken risks and went out to look for food, but the harvest was not large.

In the Zhongmu Mansion, Li Huiyi was drinking with the generals to celebrate, and suddenly a soldier came running quickly. "Report, there are people gathered outside the government office, saying that they want to join the army, but they can't be persuaded to leave."

"Huh?" Li Huiyi let out a puzzled sound, put down his wine glass, glanced at everyone and asked, "But someone put a recruitment notice without permission?" ”

Without receiving orders, these generals would not take trouble to recruit troops, and besides, there were enough Cao troops captured in this war, even if they really needed to replenish the supply of troops, they would choose from them, and they would not recruit those civilians who did not know anything at all.

Seeing that no one answered, Li Huiyi was even more curious, and secretly guessed whether it was because of his domineering.

After thinking for a moment, Li Huiyi asked the soldiers to bring one or two leaders to come, ready to ask questions.

After waiting for a while, several people, led by the soldiers, came to the place where the banquet was held, saw Li Huiyi, and quickly bowed down tremblingly.

Li Huiyi waved his hand to get a few people up, and asked, "Fellow villagers, why do you suddenly want to join the army if you don't post a recruitment notice?" ”

One of them replied: "Back to the general, I have been waiting for a long time to hear the general's benevolence and righteousness, so I have come to defect." ”

"Hmm!" Li Huiyi's smiling face was closed, his eyes were fixed on the person who replied, and he asked coldly: "You are lying, tell me quickly, are you Cao Jun's spies?" ”
