"Ahh

Cao Cao's words made the generals beside him in an uproar, and they all showed surprise, and their eyes were full of disbelief.

Immediately, Cao Hong said suspiciously with a shocked expression: "If it is really as the lord said, how can the enemy troops on the cliffs on both sides explain?" In less than half an hour, our army lost tens of thousands of soldiers, all of which were given by the ambush soldiers on the cliff. Could it be that this is also a bluff by Li Thief? ”

"Hmph, this is a proud trick that Li Thief thinks he has a plan, but in my eyes, it is full of flaws!"

Cao Cao's face was gloomy and he snorted coldly, and looked up at the Xiliang soldiers on the cliffs on both sides through the gap in the shield.

"The Xiliang army on the cliffs on both sides is the greatest threat to our army, if the Li thief has enough soldiers and horses in his hands, just by this random arrow, rolling stones, and fire oil smashed into the valley, I can all be buried in Feiyundu, dead without a corpse, and a violent corpse wilderness. However, you noticed that the number of enemy troops on the cliff was not large, only a few thousand, and they were in a hurry to go up the mountain, and the number of arrows and oil was limited, and there were not even many stones.

Just now they were shooting arrows and stones, and nearly a hundred fire pots had fallen, but now they seemed to be running out of arrows, throwing all the stones that could be used on the top of the mountain, and running out of oil. It was because they could only shoot accurately with a few arrows now, and instead of firing arrows like just now, when they ran out of stones, they threw sand.

This qiē indicates that the enemy forces on the cliff no longer pose a threat to our army, and their numbers have not increased, and there are no arrow reinforcements. In other words, after Li Thief discovered the whereabouts of our army, he had no time to prepare, let alone mobilize the army of Hanguguan to encircle and suppress, and only relied on the little men and horses he brought from Hedong to block our army from breaking through. ”

Speaking of which. Cao Cao's eyes suddenly widened, and he slid past Cao Hong, Cao Xiu and other generals, and his voice changed sharply: "At this point in the battle, Li Thief's intention to besiege us has been completely exposed, and he just wants to use the few troops in his hand to trap us in the Feiyundu mountain stream, so that our army cannot break through and fight the trapped beasts." At the same time, the Li thief will inevitably send fast horses to Hangu Pass to mobilize a large army to come to support, and then annihilate us in one fell swoop. Therefore, time is of the essence. In any case, we must rush out of the valley before the arrival of the Hanguguan army, and we must escape from Feiyundu before dawn, so that we can have a chance of survival. If not, we will die here tonight, and there will be no place to die! ”

"The congregation will listen to me. Immediately regroup the army and sue the soldiers. Don't panic. Don't be afraid, Li Thief is a major general, and now it's just a bluff, whoever wants to live, just follow me Cao Cao to rush out of the valley and kill back to Hedong! ”

"No. We will obey! The generals responded in unison.

Cao Cao waved his hand to signal the generals to immediately reorganize the army, Cao Hong did not leave immediately, and walked lightly close to Cao Cao: "The lord personally led the army to rush and kill, it is too dangerous." Or let the last general lead the army to dominate the open road, right? ”

"Huh?" Cao Cao turned around when he heard this, stared at Cao Hong with both eyes, shook his head slightly, and said: "No need, this time I will personally go into battle, if I don't succeed, I will become a benevolent, can I rush out of the valley, in one move." Zi Lian Xiu said a lot, let's quickly reorganize the army! ”

"It's ??? No, the last will obey! After a moment's hesitation, Cao Hong accepted the order and walked away.

――――――――――――

Outside the valley mouth, on the official road.

"Report! General Hu Che'er killed Cao Cao's eldest son Cao Ang in the chaotic battle, and the morale of the enemy army was frustrated, and now they are slowly retreating! ”

"Oh? Hu Che'er killed Cao Cao's eldest son, Cao Ang? ”

Li Li was stunned when he heard this, waved his hand to signal his soldiers to retreat, and then turned his head to look at Guo Jia beside him, a knowing smile appeared on his face.

"Lord, according to this, the information that the scouts have detected before is very accurate, and this Cao army that attempted to sneak attack Hangu Pass was indeed led by Cao Cao himself." Guo Jia looked at the Taniguchi plank road with a smile on his face and said softly as if thoughtfully.

Li Li bowed slightly, and with the huge body of the Golden Lion Beast King, he looked intently at the battle situation in the plank road at the valley mouth.

"Why is Fengxiao so sure that Cao Cao is in the valley? In fact, I also thought that Cao Cao was in the valley, but under the temptation just now, I had some doubts about the authenticity of the information. Cao Cao is also a prince all the way, could it be that he was too scared to show up when he saw me appear, shouldn't it? ”

Guo Jia chuckled when he heard this: "The lord's words are not unreasonable, but Wei Chen is sure that Cao Cao is in the valley hundreds of steps away from us at this moment. It is said that Cao Cao's eldest son, Cao Ang, has not yet reached the crown, Yunwen Yunwu, dignified appearance, and young and old, and has the style of his father in dealing with people, so he is deeply loved by Cao Cao. Because of this, I think that since Cao Ang is here, Cao Cao must also be by his side.

As for Cao Cao, he didn't dare to answer with the lord just now, but it is understandable. After all, he is now in a desperate situation, and it is difficult to protect himself, if he shows up to answer the lord, he will inevitably reveal his appearance, so that he will be targeted by our soldiers. In this way, it is almost impossible for him to leave Feiyundu alive tonight, even if some of the soldiers of the Cao army escape, but he Cao Cao will definitely not be able to escape. Because at least half of the officers and men of our army were firmly on him, no matter how disguised he was, he could never escape the attention of thousands of pairs of eyes.

The lord had said to the generals before that it didn't matter if he escaped some Cao troops, but Cao Cao couldn't be allowed to slip away tonight no matter what. For this reason, the lord also offered a reward of thousands of gold and ten thousand households, under such a heavy reward, as long as Cao Cao dares to show his face, he will die tonight! ”

"Hehehe!" Li Li smiled when he heard this, and nodded thoughtfully: "What Feng Xiao said is good. Our army has always attached great importance to military merits, with clear rewards and punishments, and all officers and men of the army regard meritorious service on the battlefield as a lifelong pursuit, even if they do not hesitate to pay their lives for it. What's more, I, Li Li, will do what he says, but if he makes a promise, he will definitely fulfill it. Yes, if Cao Cao really dared to show his head just now, then even if he put on his wings tonight, he would not want to fly out, and the soldiers of our army would definitely be captured alive or killed on the spot. But ???"

After a pause in his tone, Li Li smiled indifferently; "However, I heard that Cao Cao was suspicious and cautious, and usually carried a short dagger with him in his military camp tent or on the couch in his mansion, for fear that others would plot or assassinate him. Therefore, Cao Cao's hiding and not showing up this time is reasonable, which is in line with his consistent style. ”

Guo Jia smiled and nodded: "I have also heard about this. It is rumored that the reason why Cao Cao was so cautious and even suspicious and fickle was because he almost succeeded in assassinating Dong Zhuo in the past. Since then, he has been treating others with himself, carrying a dagger with him, and he is no exception when he sleeps, always wary of others, for fear that others will attack him in his sleep like he did when he assassinated Dong Zhuo in the past. Hehehe! ”

Li Li bowed his head slightly, and chuckled: "Yes, ants are still greedy for life, and everyone in the world spares their lives, so it's better to die than to live." However, people like Cao Cao who are afraid of death are rare, and they can be regarded as a strange plant. Therefore, I conclude that he will not dare to lead the army to kill in person, and will definitely not come out until Cao Hong leads the army out of the valley. In view of this, I want to personally go into battle to intercept and kill, what does Bong Hyo think? ”

"The lord wants to go into battle in person?" Guo Jia was stunned when he heard this, but his expression changed greatly, and he waved his hand again and again: "No, never!" ”

Why is that? Didn't Bong-hyo see me personally go into battle to kill the enemy? During the previous trip, I killed all the way from Jizhou to Yangzhou, although there were twists and turns, but there were also thrills. This time, in my Xiliang realm, there are many soldiers to support the left and right, and their own safety is safe, why should Fengxiao strongly oppose it? ”

"My lord's words are wrong." Guo Jia shook his head lightly, and explained helplessly: "At this moment, the Cao army is overwhelming, several times larger than our army, and they are trapped beasts, in order to seize the way of life, they are bound to fight to the death, and they will not retreat." In such a sinister and tragic battle, it is difficult to guarantee that someone will secretly release cold arrows, or sneak attack from behind, and there must be many such unscrupulous Cao army soldiers, which makes people unguardable. Just now, our army still had the infantry on the cliff to cover with arrows, and now that the arrows are exhausted, the soldiers on the top of the mountains on both sides can no longer suppress the Cao army. After surviving this time, Cao's army will die; If it does not last for half an hour, the situation will be reversed, the situation will be completely tilted towards the side of Cao's army, and our army will be in a worrying situation.

The lord is the commander of our army, and he is concerned about the future and fate of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and millions of people, how can he personally take risks? In case there is a slight mistake, what should I do? Therefore, such a matter of going into battle to kill the enemy, the lord must not mention it again in the future, and it is absolutely not feasible. There are many generals in our army, many of whom are powerful generals with super combat power, and all the soldiers are also brave and good at fighting, and they are not afraid of death. Why do you need the lord to go into battle to kill the enemy himself? ”

Li Li shook his head in disappointment, and his right hand that was holding the Jin Qi War Knife had to relax, but he was still itching, and he was eager to go into battle in person and show his skills.

Indeed, since returning from his travels, he has completely lost the opportunity to kill the enemy in person. In the successive battles of the Northern Expedition to the Southern Xiongnu, he first sat in the Chinese army, and then Zhou Yu led the army, and he sat in the rear, basically far away from the battlefield. In this battle of Sili, he had the opportunity to go into battle in person, preparing to fight a big battle with the princes' allies under the city of Anyi, but because of a fire in Anyi, the granary was burned, forcing him to defend the city, and then evacuated to the east of the river and retreated to Hangu Pass.

At this moment, tens of thousands of Cao troops were in front of him, and the fierce battle in full swing was in sight, and Li Li's warlike blood, which had been suppressed for a long time, finally burst out, ready to move, and there was a tendency to be uncontrollable.

At this time, the Golden Lion Beast King seemed to feel the warlike heart of his master, and his four sharp claws were digging the ground from time to time, and he was also grinding his palms and pacing back and forth eagerly.
