My husband Zhuge Kongming

Chapter 615 613. Zhao Yun: Follow me to kill the thief! (Please subscribe for a monthly ticket)

In Zhang Fei's camp, he was also thinking about when to attack the city.

Now that Cao Cao's army is guarding Weishi, the situation on his side is weaker.

Sun Shangxiang's previous suggestion of attacking from the waterway and then combining the inside and the outside was feasible, but at this time there were many risks.

Furthermore, during this period, he was also busy asking his soldiers to integrate Cao Cao's defeated troops, and his own soldiers also needed to recover from their injuries.

The most important thing is that Liu Bei sent a letter asking him to wait, and he had to wait for a while.

To the west of Tongxu County.

Liu Bei wore armor and looked at the soldiers in front of him. He was eager to fight and felt satisfied in his heart.

"Kong Ming, how is the plan going?"

Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "It's safe. At the fourth watch tonight, the south gate will raise a fire as a signal, and the city gate can be opened."

"Okay." Liu Bei nodded, his eyes full of fighting spirit.

Zhang Fei had won a victory, and he could not lag behind Zhang Fei. The most important thing was that the soldiers were also thinking about making achievements, and he really couldn't hold it back.

Then, another soldier brought news from Jiangdong. Zhou Yu led a hundred thousand troops to counterattack the old territory of Jiangdong, and had already attacked several counties.

Liu Bei smiled, nodded, waved his hand and let the soldier go down, "Jiangdong has also started as planned. I am afraid that Sun Zhongmou will not stay in Wu County with peace of mind."

"Cao Pi will not give up the land of Xuzhou." Zhuge Liang smiled.

Cao Pi would not have thought that once the news of Cao Cao's defeat in the first battle spread, the northern land would be in chaos. Therefore, Cao Pi would not dare to give up Xuzhou at will.

As for Sun Quan's combat ability, A Chu was not optimistic about it, and neither was he.

But after all, Sun Quan is so many years older than before, he should have made progress. Therefore, no matter what the results are in Xuzhou, it will not affect their plans here.

"That's true." Liu Bei nodded, sighing in his heart again about Huang Yueying and Zhuge Liang's plan, imagining the prosperous times in the future, and the fighting spirit in his eyes became even stronger.

That night.

Fourth watch.

The southern city gate of Tongxu County was opened in the night.

Outside the city gate, there is a bunch of torches.

Seeing this, Liu Bei's army rushed directly into the city.

Zhuge Liang was in the distance, looking at Tongxu County. What would Cao Cao do after receiving the news?

After dawn, Weishi County.

Looking at the soldiers who hurriedly came to report, Cao Cao's face turned livid, "You bastard!"

The wealthy households in Tongxu County colluded with Liu Bei and directly sacrificed the city gate without any bloodshed, allowing Liu Bei to take Tongxu.

As a result, Cao Ren lost most of his troops and horses, and they were all taken over by Liu Bei, which made him extremely angry.

As for Cao Ren, he took the remaining troops and horses to Chenliu first, and sent someone to notify Cao Cao, waiting for Cao Cao to question him.

Cao Cao took several deep breaths to calm down his mood. Originally, Jia Xu was still planning to let Zhang Fei lead troops into the city, but now it was very difficult.

If he doesn't go faster, when Liu Bei's troops arrive, his way back will be cut off!

"Come here, organize the army! Go back to Chenliu!" Cao Cao quickly made a decision.

An army of 200,000 had only been on the front line for half a month, and only half of it was left. How could he stabilize the morale of the army? On the Hanoi side, Sima Yi's strategy also failed to work, and the situation was already lost.

Now the battle line has been stretched too long. Once Liu Bei sends troops to seize his food route, his remaining army of hundreds of thousands will be doomed.

It's just that he really didn't expect that it would progress so fast!

Liu Bei really didn't leave him any way to survive.

Zhang Fei received an order from Liu Bei, asking him to pursue Cao Jun.

Zhang Fei was confused, chasing Cao Jun? why? Cao Cao is still in Weishi County, why pursue him?

After a while, a scout came to report that Cao Cao's army retreated directly to the east, leaving behind the tiger and leopard cavalry.

Zhang Fei stood up suddenly, "Cao Cao withdrew?"

"Yes, general." Zhang Fei's eyes widened and he said directly, "Beat the drum and gather the generals, follow me to kill Cao Cao's thieves! Whoever kills Cao Cao will be rewarded with ten thousand gold and be made a marquis!"

Of course Zhang Fei would also shout slogans. The emperor was already in Xuchang anyway, so wasn't it just a matter of Liu Xie's word to make him a marquis?

And if someone really kills Cao Cao, then Liu Xie must be happy. To Liu Xie, Cao Cao is not a loyal minister and good minister, but an enemy with the hatred of killing his wife and son.

The news of Cao Cao's withdrawal swept the camp.

Even the prisoners who had been subdued in the past few days had their eyes widened in disbelief.

Cao Cao retreated?

Sure enough, their choice was right!

If I catch up now, I might be able to get some credit.

Morale is greatly boosted.

Somewhere in the forest, Zhao Yun let go of the pigeon in his hand, took down the letter, laughed, and then issued an order, "Come here, prepare an army! Follow me to kill the thieves!"

As a result, three groups of soldiers and horses surrounded them from the front and back, heading towards Cao Cao and Cao Ren.

Cao Cao felt depressed all the way.

He didn't even tell his son that he was dead, he didn't even keep his body.

The two counties on the edge of Chenliu County have now fallen into Liu Bei's hands. He was very aggrieved that his trip had started like this.

The problem is that he has not heard from Yecheng for nearly ten days, which means that the way back to Yecheng is also cut off.

Where does it end? It's probably still broken on the river.

Therefore, if he cannot hold Chenliu, he will have to retreat towards Qingzhou and Xuzhou.

"Come, go to Xuzhou and tell Zihuan that Xuzhou must be defended!"

"No!" A group of scouts rode away directly.

Cao Cao thought about this and felt very upset. What should he do?

The army had only withdrawn for more than ten miles, when a cavalry suddenly rushed out from the dense forest nearby, with the word Zhao written on the military flag.

Cao Cao's eyes widened and he remembered Zhao Yun's name.

During this period of time, he had never heard of Zhao Yun's appearance on the front line. Was he co-authored to plot against him here?

"Come here, Mingzi and lead the tiger and leopard cavalry to deal with the enemy cavalry. Everyone, dress lightly and travel lightly. Throw away unnecessary baggage where you are. Follow the Chinese army and continue to move forward!"

The cavalry has its own cavalry to deal with it.

His infantry is not Liu Bei's infantry and can withstand the cavalry.

If the army is dispersed by Zhao Yun, none of his 50,000 or 60,000 soldiers and horses will be able to come back. As long as he can reach Chenliu safely, he will have a way to win back.

Jia Xu followed Cao Cao with a wry smile on his face.

Yes, since Liu Bei directly took the pass, he must have expected that Cao Cao would give up the Wei family, otherwise it would be difficult for Chen Liu and the Wei family to help him.

It is expected that Cao Cao will retreat to Chenliu, so this route may not be feasible.

"Prime Minister, I'm afraid Chen Liu can't be defended." Jia Xu rode towards Cao Cao and said, "Liu Bei will not allow the Prime Minister to safely evacuate to Chen Liu."

After being defeated like a mountain, it was very difficult for Cao Cao to go any way.

"Then where should I go?" Cao Cao frowned.

"As soon as we go to Hanoi, we will meet up with General Cao Xiu, but with Guan Yu around, it will be difficult for us." Jia Xu sighed.

"What about two?"

"Second, go east to join forces with General Cao Ren, go east to Gaoyang, pass through Huainan to the direction of Xuzhou, retreat and recruit troops in order to stabilize the current situation."

Stabilize the situation? Cao Cao closed his eyes and quickly made a choice, "Just listen to Wen He's words."
