Cao Cao disappeared, not only Cao Cao, but also the thousands of men and horses under his subordinates, who disappeared under the siege of the army on all sides. This news not only stunned Ma Chao, but also surprised Zhang Liao.

Zhang Liao reorganized Runan, and then marched from the west through the two avenues in the east-west direction, and even sent scouts all the way away, just to guard against the attack of Cao Cao's army, the expected ambush did not exist, which was enough to surprise Zhang Liao, who knew that Sun Zong, who had sent someone to escort him into Qi County, came out of the city with his head down, and only then did he get the news that really surprised him.

The expected Cao Cao does not exist!

This is not a few poor people, it is a full 7,000 combat-ready Cao soldiers and thousands of wounded soldiers, and if they say no, they will be gone?

At first, Zhang Liao thought that Cao Jun had fled to the east, because he had just come from the west, not to mention that Cao Cao was driven to Peiguo by him, how could he dare to return the same way? But he didn't expect that Ma Chao set up soldiers and horses to guard in a dignified manner, strictly guarding many important roads in the east, and there were Liangzhou cavalry wandering around everywhere, but looking at the defense means to reach Cao's army, it was impossible for the Cao army to escape from the east.

"Is it possible that he Cao Mengde will be able to fly?"

Give the dummy?

The puzzled Ma Chao immediately sent people to inquire about the cities along the north, and ran back and forth in a day, but the news he got was always the same, and the cities along the north were calm as usual, and he had never seen a large army of soldiers and horses marching...... Not to mention a large group of people, now that the Yan clan is fighting with the Cao clan, the war in the south is in full swing, ordinary people who should have fled have already fled, and those who did not escape also hid in the house for refuge, who will have nothing to do to go to the official road to find death?

Not to mention the city, those pavilion guards along the way are the most sensitive to pedestrians, and in the past ten days and half a month, except for the riders who have reported back and forth, they may not be able to see a living person, let alone the march of the army, and they have not even seen a shadow at all!

This time, Ma Chao and Zhang Liao, the two Yan generals who had never met, found a common language, and they searched the east, west, and north on the first day, and found no trace of them, and the next day the two got together together, "It's bad!" Did Cao Cao go south into Jiangdong? ”

The scouts followed the line, and it didn't take long to find traces of the brigade moving south. The heavy rain did not stop for long, and the dry and hard soil clods between the roads should not have been trampled by pedestrians, but the road to the south of Qi County was flat and flat, and it was obviously boring. However, after a long time, the pavilion chief and pavilion guards who were supposed to be in the pavilion that passed by were nowhere to be found, and they hardly had to think about anything else.

Cao Cao must have run south!

This result made Ma Chao a little angry, and he had already passed the battle report to Yanbei for the victory, but unexpectedly, only two days later, his mother's cooked duck actually flew away, and there was not even a mouthful of feathers left!

It's just that with the dispatch of a large army to pursue, the more Ma Chao and Zhang Liao chased after them, the more panicked they became-some people along the way actually said that Cao Jun collected all the ships along the coast and went west.

Headed west?

How can it go west, west, west, where does Cao Cao go?

Because it is unexpected, it will be even more surprising when it happens. Ma Chao forgot it, she just felt that there was some atmosphere, after all, she was tricked, but Zhang Liao was different, and asked Cao Jun about the time when he took the boat to the west, which couldn't help but make Zhang Liao regret it.

When Cao Cao sailed westward, he was leading his troops and horses east to pursue Cao Cao!

It's uncomfortable, it's so uncomfortable!

Cao Cao ran away under the noses of Zhang Liao and Ma Chao, is there anything more uncomfortable in the world?

Of course!

After Zhang Liao learned that Cao Cao was going west, he immediately sent people to Runan, and ordered Cheng Lian, who remained in Runan, to transfer troops to guard the south of Runan to prevent Cao's army from landing. Of course, Zhang Liao also expected that Cao Cao might be faster than the cavalry he sent, so he also informed several cities guarding Cao's army to delay Cao's army, and then prepared to return to Runan to meet Cao Cao, who was secretly attacking Runan.

Ma Chao informed Zhang Liao at this time that he was going to lead the troops back to Liangzhou, and the letter had already been sent to Yanbei, and he did not participate in the pacification of Runan, but just waited for Yanbei's order in Peiguo.

Where can Zhang Liao take care of him now, not to mention that what Ma Chao said is not wrong, it is not Ma Chao's mission to pacify the Runan Cao family, but his Zhang Liao's!

Zhang Liaojun had just set off for only seventy miles to the west, and the cavalry who had sent the message had returned, and he not only successfully informed Cheng Lian of the news, but also brought back a message from Cheng Lian...... "General Xiao Cai, Captain Cheng reported that Cao's army did not land on the coast, and broke through the blockade in the river while our army was unprepared, and now it has crossed Runan all the way west!" ”

"What do you do when you cross Runan, and then west is Jing...... Cheng Lian is saying that Cao Cao went to Jingzhou? "This is the time when Zhang Liao was really shocked, this time he can stab Lou Zi!" How dare he go to Jingzhou! ”

Cao Cao and Liu Biao have been fighting for several years, and now he dares to vote for Jingzhou?

"General Ma, I'm afraid you won't be able to go back to Liangzhou." Zhang Liao felt extremely frustrated in his heart, quickly whipped back to Peiguo Fuli, looked at Ma Chao who was sitting on the top, leaned forward, and said: "Zhang has insufficient soldiers and horses, and the western expedition to Jingzhou still needs General Ma to lead the soldiers and horses to attack!" ”

This is just politeness, Zhang Liao has a lot of soldiers and horses under his hands, no matter who he fights, it is enough, but at this time he can't let Ma Chao return to Liangzhou. It has nothing to do with Liangzhou, whether it is Bingzhou, Sizhou, Liangzhou, Yizhou, or even Jizhou Youzhou, Zhang Liao can't let Ma Chao go.

If it weren't for Ma Chao's unauthorized attack on Cao Jun, even if Cao Jun had enough food and ammunition now, they would never have entered the land of Jingzhou as if they were cornered, and even if Cao Jun's soldiers were full of food and food, they would not be able to escape the fate of being bombarded by stone cannons if they stayed in Qi County honestly.

But now it's different, Cao Cao is very likely to join forces with Liu Biao when he enters Jingzhou, and what level is Liu Biao and what level is Cao Cao? Can the armies they lead be the same?

If Cao Cao had been given command of the huge Jingzhou army, to be honest, Zhang Liao did not think that he would be able to capture Xiangyang before the cold of this winter, even if Gao Ran and Zhang Jaw and others had attacked.

At this time, Zhang Liao can't let Ma Chao put the responsibility of Cao Cao's escape on his shoulders, at least, let Ma Chao end this chaos with him, just this autumn, that is, now, he wants to lead the army to recruit Liu Biao, who harbored the enemies of the Yan clan, so that Cao Cao has no place to stand!

At the same time, outside the Great Wall of Saibei, the Yan clan once faced a big war. With its prestige in the clan, Saiwai Xianbei Kebi can gather a large number of soldiers and horses to attack from north to south, until knocking on the Saiwai City Pass, Youzhou Mu Yandong and Bingzhou Mu Ma Teng continued to send letters to Zhao Guo for help, with only one purpose, please increase the troops of King Zhao!
