Half a day ago, before Chu Tian got the exact news, Cao troops in Puyang City reorganized their troops and prepared to go to Guanzhong. Cao Cao's forces were defeated, and some civil servants and soldiers fled, unwilling to follow him.
When lejin arrived, he said to Cao Cao, "my Lord, there are thousands of soldiers escaping from each camp, which is hard to contain."
Cao Cao waved his hand: "the tree falls and the monkeys scatter. It is my fault. Those who are willing to follow will follow. Those who are not willing to follow will be allowed to leave."
"My Lord, we must go to Guanzhong."
Zhang Liao packed up his armor and horses and confirmed with Cao Cao again and again before leaving Puyang City.
Cao Cao was turning on his horse and asked, "Wen Yuan is afraid to meet his old Master Lu Bu?"
Zhang Liao shook his head: "No. Lu Bu was stubborn and not a master. Xuzhou Mu rescued the general in Mobei. It seems that Xuzhou Mu is young and promising and has the ambition of unifying the Han Dynasty. Although he had a son of heaven and was concerned about Zhongxing as a land of rejuvenation, he was not necessarily more promising than Xuzhou mu. Guanzhong was no longer better than Kanto... "
Cao Cao was silent.
Pang Juan's army surrounded Puyang and was violently attacked by Cao Cao's army.
Cao Cao's army did not dare to fight Pang Juan fiercely, otherwise once Pang Juan's army delayed, Chu zimou's cavalry would arrive soon.
"Thief Cao wants to go to Guanzhong? It seems that he is still wavering. Try your best to keep him! "
When Guo Jia heard that Cao Cao planned to go to Guanzhong, he guessed that Cao Cao was in a panic. He was at a loss, so he encouraged Pang Juan to delay Cao Cao.
The attack of Cao Cao's army was very fierce. The clan generals Cao Hong, Cao Chun, Xia Houyuan and others followed Cao Cao firmly. As long as Cao Cao was going, they would follow him.
The two sides fought under the city of Puyang. Cao Chun led the tiger and leopard as the vanguard and attacked Pang Juan's army six times in a row, which broke through Pang Juan's army!
Cao Cao led a number of civil and military generals, and cavalry out of the predicament, straight to Chen Liu!
Pang Juan's main cavalry was taken away by Wei Qing, unable to pursue Cao Cao.
Zhen City, Xia Hou Dun abandoned the city and fled. This solid city became an empty city. When the foreigners in Zhen City saw all the Cao troops withdraw, they could not help being agitated.
This city, which XiahouDun always insisted on, abandoned the city under the attack of Xuzhou mu.
It seems that Cao Cao's influence is completely over.
As the first owl hero in the Eastern Han Dynasty, he failed even to own half of Yanzhou.
In dong'a County, Cao Ren and man Chong abandoned the city and were chased by Leyi army
The whole Eastern Han Dynasty focused on the struggle between Xuzhou Mu and Yanzhou governor. Xuzhou Mu wanted to merge Cao Cao, and Cao Cao's fate became the most concerned matter of all the princes.
"Cao Cao can't turn to Chu zimou, otherwise my situation will be more dangerous!"
"Qin Qiong and Cheng Yaojin, send someone to intercept Cao Cao immediately!"
Yuzhou said that Tang Dynasty sent a team of cavalry from Xu county to rob Cao Cao in the face of Chu Tian's massive attack on Yanzhou.
Shuo Tang also wanted to get a share of the collapse of Cao Cao.
Cao Cao had many generals, even if he could intercept a few people, he could also get benefits.
……
"If we spread the suspicious soldiers widely, we can attract the attention of Chu zimou and avoid the city. Only in this way can we escape Chu's eyes and ears."
Cao Cao had a high degree of resourcefulness and wanted to escape, so it was very difficult to intercept him. He divided several teams of cavalry and confused his sight. Even Hua Mulan's hawks could not tell which group of cavalry was the main force.
A large number of cavalry were scattered in Chenliu and Dongjun, including Yanzhou cavalry, Yuzhou cavalry and Xuzhou cavalry. Each county magistrate looked up and looked around. They are different from Cao Cao, who wins. No matter who occupied Chenliu County, the change of the king's flag at the head of the city had little influence on the middle and low-level officials. Their little days are still nourishing.
"This is the cavalry of Yuzhou!"
Chu Tian used all the cavalry to pursue Cao Cao in a circuitous way. As a result, he met the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty in Chenliu county.
The Tang Dynasty intervened in the struggle for Cao Cao. His Yingchuan county was too close to Chen Liu. Xue Rengui and Chen Qingzhi, who were stationed in Pei state, were blocked by military generals such as Guo Ziyi and Feng Yi, so they had no time to intercept Yuzhou cavalry.
Yuzhou cavalry appeared on the horizon, the long and thin black line gradually turned into black, horses neighing, at least thousands of cavalry.
"Stop!"
Chu Tian was in a restless mood. He said that Tang, as a herdsman in Yuzhou, would be the next one to clean up Cao Cao. Tang could not sit by and watch Cao Cao be harvested by Chu Tian.
Even if Tang could not get Cao Cao, he would muddle up Yanzhou.
"Mulan, you lead the scouting regiment to occupy Hulao pass and block Cao Cao's westward advance. At the same time, I don't want to see the cavalry of the brave old Qin appear in Guandong!"
Chu Tian finds the fastest scouting regiment and orders Hua Mulan to bypass Yuzhou cavalry and seize Hulao pass.
Hulao pass terrain is dangerous, guarding Heluo, controlling Hulao pass, you can enter and leave Guandong and guanxi at any time. After the annexation of Yanzhou by Chutian, Hulao pass finally entered the field of vision.
"Yes
Hua Mulan leads the scouting corps to leave."A Xuzhou cavalry left. Shall we pursue it?"
Cheng Yaojin, carrying an axe, noticed that Hua Mulan's investigation regiment was separated from the main force of Xuzhou cavalry, so he wanted to separate troops to pursue Hua Mulan.
Qin Qiong stopped him: "we only have more than ten thousand cavalry. If we want to divide our troops, I'm afraid we will be defeated by Xuzhou mu."
"If only we had more cavalry."
Cheng Yaojin and Qin Qiong look at the large number of Xuzhou cavalry on the opposite side and dare not take the initiative to attack. They were frightened by Xuzhou cavalry in Xiaopei.
"Destroy them!"
Seeing the cavalry of Shuo Tang, Chu Tian knew that Shuo Tang also wanted Cao Cao.
Although we don't know who the other party's chief general is, Shuo Tang intervenes and interferes with Chu Tian's actions. Chu Tian's first reaction is to destroy the Yuzhou cavalry in front of him. If you can capture Shutang's generals alive, it would be better!
Zhao Yun, Tai Shici and Gongsun Ao took the lead in attacking Yuzhou cavalry!
"Withdraw!"
Qin Qiong's and Cheng Yaojin's cavalry were not all elite. Facing the high-level cavalry in Xuzhou, they avoided their sharpness.
Chu Tian led the cavalry to attack and chase, and then divided his troops to Wei Qing, who asked Wei Qing to take over Hua Mulan and pursue Cao Cao.
The Yuzhou cavalry that is blocked must be expelled, otherwise it is likely to benefit Qin Qiong and Cheng Yaojin.
"Surround them, do not let them escape!"
The Leyi army catches up with Cao Ren and man Chong and blocks them on the hillside.
Cao Ren and man Chong are good at defense and stick to the terrain.
Seeing that there were enemies in all directions, man Chong said to Cao Ren: "the Lord fled to the West. If Zixiao wants to break through, he can only use cavalry to get out of the difficulty. I am willing to contain the enemy."
"How can a man abandon his colleagues and escape alone! Let's kill together
Cao Ren, who is good at defense, is in danger when he meets Leyi who is good at attacking.
Cao Ren was so angry that he called on the left and right to take the horse. He took the full favor and led a small number of cavalry to attack the weak points of the Leyi army. He killed more than ten enemies and fought bravely!
"What a brave general!"
Leyi can't help feeling Cao Ren's bravery when he sees Cao Ren coming out of the encirclement. No wonder the Lord Chu Tian tried to recruit Cao Cao's generals. Cao Ren is a guard general, and his force is not low.
The deputy general asked, "general, the enemy is about to escape. Why do you feel his bravery?"
"It is a fact that Cao Ren is brave, which is different from his position. But he couldn't escape. Persuade all the besieged Cao troops to surrender, and those who surrender will not kill them. "
Le Yi continued to lead the army to attack Cao Ren and the people in full favor, forcing them to surrender.
Cao Ren and man Chong led hundreds of cavalry to escape along the path.
All of a sudden, the cavalry in front of them turned upside down and the dust was flying. Cao Ren and man Chong quickly reined in their horses to prevent them from falling.
"Those who fall will not kill!"
A team of elite Yanjia appears, holding spears to surround Cao Ren and man Chong.
This team of Yanjia is a special branch of Leyi. Unlike ordinary infantry, Cao Ren's force and the cavalry he has now can't break out of Yanjia's encirclement.
Cao Ren pulled out his sword and wanted to commit suicide. He was stopped by manchong: "general, maybe there is a turning point!"
Cao Ren was not willing to: "now I am defeated in the war. Why do I have the face to go back to see the Lord?"
"No, no, general, listen to me..."
Man Chong whispers and persuades Cao Ren. Cao Ren puts down his sword and becomes a prisoner of Yanjia.
Cao Ren and man Chong were captured by Leyi and escorted to Puyang.
According to Chu Tian's order, the generals met in Puyang as their destination.
On the other side, Xia Houdun, who gave up Zhen Cheng, was ambushed by Guo Jia and Pang Juan's army, and Xia Houdun was besieged and besieged on all sides.
"The military division is really resourceful. Although he can't stop Cao Cao's cavalry, the Cao army who captured Zhen Cheng is also a great achievement."
Pang Juan could not help admiring Guo Jia's strategy when he saw thousands of Cao troops including Xia Houdun being surrounded. Guo Jia ambushed and intercepted Xia Houdun who was short of cavalry.
Xia Houdun wanted to lead a small number of cavalry to break through the encirclement, and was attacked by Huaxiong's Xiliang iron hoof. Xia Houdun was injured and captured.
For a time, the Cao troops of the eastern county were to be annihilated and surrendered, or they would flee and soon be pacified.
"Zhao Long of Wei county has offered three hundred taels of gold. Please go to Handan."
"He probably wants to get our historical assassins to work for him."
"Three hundred taels of gold, you can live a lifetime without worry."
Some of Puyang's alien guests attempted to surrender to Chu Zi, some remained anonymous and did not participate in the struggle for hegemony among the princes. Others fled Puyang and speculated among the great princes.
In Luoyang, a group of cavalry led by a valiant old Qin approached Hulao pass with generals Yang Dayan and Guo Si. Meng Tian, Lv Bu, and Li Bi were attacking Zhang Yang, the prefect of Hanoi. They received the order of the Lord and led the cavalry to cross Mengjin immediately. They went to Hulao pass to meet the valiant old Qin.
"Zhong Yao's letter shakes Xunzi's family. If Cao Cao can be recruited to guard Heluo, Guandong will have no worries."The valiant old Qin led his cavalry into Heluo without stopping.
As the overlord of Guanzhong army, he has the ability to compete for the Central Plains!
Cao Cao's power attracted him enormously. In order to get Xunyou and Xunzi, he even suppressed the gentry in Guanzhong and regarded Yingchuan as a high-level official. At present, some Yingchuan scholars came to Guanzhong to assist him.
The brave old Qin took Jia Xu with him. Jia Xu was not weak. He followed the light cavalry in plain clothes. He saw that Jia Yu's face was changeable: "Cao mengde will be captured by me. Why is Wenhe worried?"
Jia Xu replied: "my subordinates think that this matter may have twists and turns."
In any case, even if you want to fight with me. This is the first time for me to have a confrontation with Chu zimou, which is really expected. "
The valiant old Qin fought with Chu Tian for a long time, but never formally fought.
If Chutian annexed Yanzhou, then their sphere of influence would be contiguous, and there was always the possibility of fighting.
Cao Cao incident is the first positive conflict between him and Chu Tian!
As Cao Cao marched westward, he could see the wall of Hulao pass. The walls of Hulao pass are towering. Two years ago, Cao Cao and Chu Zimu fought side by side to fight against Dong Zhuo.
As long as you cross the Hulao pass, you will be the territory of Mr. Qin.
Cao Cao was left with only a few hundred cavalry, not even his wife. He believed Chu would not kill his family.
"Stop it!"
Cao's troops are coming to a standstill.
Cao Hong, Cao Chun, Xia Houyuan, Xun you, Xun Yu, Cheng Yu, LV Qian and other civil and military generals all looked at Cao Cao. They did not know why Cao Cao stopped marching at this time.
Cao Hong didn't understand: "why did you stop? In the rear, Chu Zi planned to pursue soldiers day and night, and they were approaching. "
Cao Cao dismounted, overlooking the slightly broken Hulao pass, and did not speak for a long time.
"Lord..."
All his subordinates are waiting for Cao Cao's response.
"In recent months, I have listened to your advice and asked for help everywhere. There is no definite number. But this time, please listen to me. His father took refuge in Xuzhou, but Meng de now has nothing. He wants to go to Xuzhou to serve his father and support his old man. "
Cao Cao pointed to the west of Hulao pass: "further to the west, is the place of Guanzhong, the emperor of Han Dynasty. If someone doesn't want to join Chu's plan, they can cross the barrier and join the Lord. Or through Mengjin and Hebei. As early as I was in Dongjun, I intended to turn to Chu zimou, but you all have your own ideas. Meng de always has a glimmer of hope. On the way to escape, I tossed and turned, thinking for a long time, and finally decided not to pass the tiger prison. This is the last thing Mendel can do for you. "
Cao Cao's civil and military generals were in an uproar and whispered.
Cao Cao was about to leave for guanxi, but he had his own idea before the tiger prison.
This is Cao Cao's own view, which has nothing to do with the interests of various gentry.
All of them were at a loss for a moment.
Cao Cao took them to Hulao pass. To the East, they could take refuge in Xuzhou Mu Chu Zi Mou, to the west, to the valiant old Qin, to the south to Shuo Tang, and to the north to Yuan Shao and Hu ma. Cao Cao did his best to them.
However, the more choices they have, the more difficult they are to choose.
Xunyou and Xunzi seemed to have a fierce quarrel.
It seems that there is no such thing as a quarrel between the two generals.
Cao Cao saw the reaction of Xunyu and Xunzi in his eyes, and knew that Xunyu and Xunzi were for the benefit of Xunzi family, which led to a dispute.
Cao Cao came to the desolate Hulao pass and looked at Kanto. He remembered that he had fought together with Chu zimou in Hulao pass and Mobei on that day, but he could not let go of Kanto: "it's Chu zimou's taste for me. The brave old Qin doesn't understand me."
