Chapter 230 Chasing Cao Cao

-

After the victory of Chibi, how could Liu Bei and Guan Ping, who have always been unwilling to suffer losses, be willing to sit by and watch the ground full of luggage.Fiction Rankings
Gan Ning had informed Guan Ping of the news before leaving.

Guan Ping immediately ordered the cavalry of Yan Liang and Wen Chou to get ready. Guan Ping personally led the cavalry, each with a crossbow and a few pots of arrows, and galloped towards the Huarong Marsh. [

Those filled ambush sites were the result of more than ten days of hard work by Guan Ping's [-] soldiers and horses. If they don't have a second use, how can they be worthy of the hard work of the soldiers.

As for whether Cao Cao is willing to pass here because Cao Ren and others have already suffered a loss here, it depends on Cao Mengde's fortune.

However, Guan Ping was quite confident that if a straight line was drawn from Wulin to Jiangling, Huarong County would be in the center of the straight line. If Cao Cao wanted to flee back to Jiangling, taking Huarong County would be the shortest route; Therefore, if Cao Cao wanted to return to Jiangling as quickly as possible, he had to go through the Huarong Swamp.

After Cao Cao was defeated by Zhou Yu at Chibi, he saw that there were not many warships left and there was no hope of winning. He immediately ordered Cai Mao, Zhang Yun and others to lead the remaining ships to retreat to Baqiu, but he himself hurried to Jiangling City by land. , with Cao Ren sending troops to respond, the crisis can be resolved.

Cao Cao regards success or failure both seriously and lightly. This has created his disposition not to be shocked by honor or disgrace. This is also one of the common characteristics of all heroes, and it is also the reason why they can always quickly recover their strength after failure. deep-seated reasons.

Guan Ping's front troops had already ambushed in the Huarong Swamp in advance, while the other one was led by Wei Yan and Qu Yi. Before leaving, Guan Ping patted the shoulders of the two men and bewitched him, "You two lead each The first army fought hard and captured a lot of Cao Jun's supplies. After the war, I will reward myself according to my merits. '

The two of them couldn't get used to seeing each other, seeing this opportunity, they couldn't help being overjoyed, and hurriedly led the soldiers to fight.

In the eyes of Wei Yan and Qu Yi, this operation was no longer a simple pursuit battle, but a decision of whether the northern army was stronger or the southern army was better at fighting in Jiangxia's army.

This is a battle of face!

Therefore, although Zhou Yu's light infantry were the first to pursue Cao Cao's defeated army, after chasing for dozens of miles, it was Qu Yibu who rushed to the front. The enemy was the most, and the luggage was the most abundant; behind the first boarding camp was Wei Yan's department. Although the soldiers in the south of the Yangtze River tried their best, they were still one step behind.

The two armies were scrambling to be the first, and Liu Beijun and Zhou Yu, who were looking directly at them, were stunned and shouted: "Jiang Xia's soldiers are really fierce." '

On both sides of Huarong Road, Guan Ping led the soldiers to stabilize the previously filled roads. In order to guard against Cao Ren who was surrounded by Jiangling City, Guan Ping sent scouts to the west to investigate, and the news he got was: Always be careful Cao Ren, who was cautious, knew that Cao Cao's power was overwhelming, but still kept in mind the responsibility of supporting him. He led his army to cruise not far from the west side of Huarong Road, ready to meet Cao Cao who might be defeated at any time.

Guan Ping cursed. A starving camel is bigger than a horse. It is obviously impossible to completely block Cao Cao in Huarong Road. Originally, Huarong Road is half a day away from Jiangling. Capture or kill, and with Cao Ren's support, with Guan Ping's two thousand cavalry, he dared not pursue rashly.
