Sanguo: Banzi Shengtian, you call him Yanque?

Chapter 5: Zhuge Wolong is like a fish meeting water! ! !

Fires broke out in Xinye City, Cao's army was panicked, and countless people were burned to death.

Cao Ren watched this scene helplessly, feeling annoyed, angry and other emotions welling up in his heart.

Suddenly, a group of people rushed out of the fire. The leader was a white-robed warrior, holding a silver spear, which could be clearly seen even in the dark night.

"Follow me to attack Cao Jun!"

Immediately, the white-robed warrior took the lead and rushed into the enemy formation. The long spear in his hand used the inertia to directly penetrate three Cao soldiers. Then he drew his gun and swept across, defeating several more Cao soldiers.

With unparalleled momentum, this man rushed into the army like a beast, ruthlessly harvesting lives, like a sharp knife piercing Cao's army.

Because Cao's army was in chaos, even orders could not be conveyed, and they had no defense. Therefore, they collapsed at the first touch, and countless people were killed.

When Cao Ren saw this scene in the distance, he suddenly became jealous and shouted out the name with hatred: "Zhao Yun!"

That white-robed warrior is none other than Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong, a victorious member of Liu Bei's army!
  "General, Ximen Wuhuo, retreat quickly!"

A scout galloped over on horseback, dismounted in front of Cao Ren, and knelt on one knee, with a hint of trembling in his voice.

Cao Ren glanced at Zhao Yun resentfully and shouted loudly: "Retreat!"

Then everyone mounted their horses and led the remaining soldiers to retreat towards the west gate.

Zhao Yun rushed to kill him, and when he saw Cao Ren and others retreating towards the west gate, he sneered twice: "Cao Ren is gone, what a brilliant plan by the military strategist!"

Then he led his soldiers and began to deal with the remaining Cao troops in the city.

On the other side, Cao Ren retreated hastily. This time, he entered the city carelessly, which led to this defeat. When he thought of facing Cao Cao's disappointed eyes after returning, he gritted his teeth.

"This revenge will be repaid a hundredfold in the future!"

After leaving the city, Cao Ren finally breathed a sigh of relief and asked his men to lighten up their troops. As a result, only more than 20,000 of the 50,000-strong army were left, which was lost in half. Only part of the baggage and food and grass were snatched back, and the rest was left in the city and burned.

Many soldiers even cried when they looked at the burning Xinye City. Many of their comrades and even relatives who accompanied them every day were trapped in the city and turned into charred corpses.

The heads were shaking, and there was a lot of grief.

"Let's go, let's join the army and ask the Prime Minister to borrow troops. We must wash away today's shame!"

Cao Ren encouraged the army, but all the soldiers were in a state of decline. Everyone was tired and thirsty, and could not move faster.

However, even if half of them were lost, they still had more than 20,000 troops. With Liu Bei's thousands of soldiers and horses, Cao Ren was sure that Liu Bei would not dare to pursue him, so he did not force him.

Not long after, they came to the Baishui River. The sleepy, tired and thirsty sergeants saw that the river was not deep, so they ran over to drink water.

"Ugh."

Seeing the appearance of his soldiers, Cao Ren couldn't help but sigh.

At this moment, the sound of surging water was suddenly heard.

Wow!
  Everyone turned to look upstream of the river, only to see the water rushing down the upper reaches. In a blink of an eye, those soldiers drinking water by the river were swallowed up by the water in an instant!
  Cao Ren was shocked and quickly led his horse to retreat. At the same time, he looked upstream. He could see many torches swaying back and forth. It was obvious that people and horses had been ambushed here.

"hateful!"

In the upper reaches of the Baishui River, a tall man with a long beard, nine feet tall, a face as thick as a jujube, and holding a cool saw was standing, his eyes were like lightning, and he had a heroic spirit.

At this time, the red-faced man looked happy and kept saying: "Hahaha, the military counselor really has a good plan, but it's a pity that he can't get on the horse to fight!"

And this red-faced man is none other than Liu Bei’s righteous brother, Guan Yu Guan Yunchang!

He stood upstream and watched with cold eyes as Cao's army below was overwhelmed by the flood and fled in embarrassment, still stroking his beard in his hand.

The soldiers who escaped with their lives among Cao Ren's army were frightened. They followed Cao Ren closely, looking suspicious, and they really had a shadow of Zhuge Liang's plan.

After escaping far away, Cao Ren counted his troops and horses, and found that there were less than three thousand troops and horses left under his command, and all the food, grass and baggage were lost!

"Old thief Liu Bei, you and I are at odds with each other!"

He uttered a harsh word from between his teeth and led the remaining soldiers forward without daring to waste a moment.

Soon they arrived at Boling Ferry, and Cao Ren was relieved.

"When we get here, we can go down the river and escape."

But as soon as he finished speaking, he heard a roar like thunder: "Cao Ren, your third grandfather is here!"

I saw a black-faced man charging forward on horseback, holding a snake spear eight feet eight feet in his hand, his eyes wide open with anger, and he looked like an evil ghost under the firelight.

"Zhang...Zhang Fei!"

The black-faced brawny man is the adopted brother of Liu Bei and Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Zhang Yide, who is said to be brave enough to be worthy of all men! Cao Ren was shocked. He didn't expect that one plan after another would not allow them to breathe. The fledgling Zhuge Kongming actually calculated their retreat route clearly. The rumors were true.

In desperation, he could only pick up weapons and lead the remaining soldiers to resist Zhang Fei.

But at this time, Cao's army had no fighting spirit at all, and Zhang Fei was extremely brave. Within a moment, three thousand Cao's troops were killed, throwing away their helmets and armor, crying to the sky and the earth.

However, Cao Ren was also a general, and he actually led hundreds of soldiers to break out of Zhang Fei's interception and left here without looking back!
  After killing all the resisting Cao troops and capturing those who surrendered, Zhang Fei looked at Cao Ren who had gone away and laughed heartily.

"Now you know how powerful I am from Yan, Zhang Yide!"

Liu Beijun had been defeated many times before, and had almost never won a decent victory. It was not until the appearance of Zhuge Liang that Liu Beijun's current situation was saved.

Therefore, whether it was Zhao Yun, Guan Yu, or Zhang Fei, they were all extremely happy, as if they had vented all the unhappiness that had been pent up in their chests for several years.

Of Cao Ren's 50,000-strong army, only a few hundred riders escaped and ascended to heaven. It was a happy victory.

On the high slope outside Xinye City, a middle-aged man wearing armor, with drooping ears and a face like a crown jewel was listening to the scout's report. When he heard that Cao Ren had only a few hundred men left and fled in a hurry, his eyes suddenly flashed. Over light.

This person is Liu Bei and Liu Xuande, with a long sword on each side of his waist.

Beside Liu Bei, there was a scholar wearing a white robe, holding a feather fan, and wearing a turban on his head. He was eight feet tall and had a great appearance. He always had a faint smile on his lips, as if he had everything in the world under his control.

The only person who can dress like this is the eternal Prime Minister Zhuge Liang!

"Kong Ming, did you hear that? We won, and we won a great victory!"

"Sir, I am like a fish in water!!!"

Liu Bei excitedly grabbed Zhuge Liang's hand and said excitedly.

"My lord, this battle has the right time, place, and people, and we deserve this victory."

Zhuge Liang said very humbly, but his expression was arrogant, with a sense of superiority that a smart man should have.

Liu Bei laughed and said: "With Kong Ming here, Xinye is like an iron wall. Even if Cao Cao comes in person, he will not be the opponent of the military advisor!"

Although Zhuge Liang was happy with this flattery, he had to pour a basin of cold water on Liu Bei to wake him up.

"My lord, Xinye cannot defend it. We only have a few thousand soldiers and horses in our hands. When Cao Cao arrives with hundreds of thousands of troops, there will be nothing we can do, so we have no choice but to retreat!"

Liu Bei suddenly woke up from the joy of victory. Yes, Cao Cao had hundreds of thousands of troops.

"Then military advisor, where should we retreat to?"

"Jiangxia!" Zhuge Liang had already thought of his retreat. "Master Liu Qi is now developing very well in Jiangxia, and Jiangxia is an important town with countless supplies of food, grass and baggage. We can go there temporarily."

"Alas," Liu Bei sighed, "That's all...but I can't bear to abandon the people of Xinye."

Zhuge Liang raised his hand to Liu Bei and said, "My lord is benevolent, if you are unwilling to abandon the people, then let them follow, but the speed will be much slower."

"That's it." Liu Bei nodded heavily.

After Liu Bei left, Zhuge Liang looked at the dark night in the distance and murmured: "At critical moments, you can still use the people to hold back Cao's army. Lord, Liang has to do the same."

The next day, everything was as usual in Cao's army camp. Ye Fan also got up and started working with the other fire-headed soldiers. What happened last night had been forgotten by him.

In the general's tent, Cao Cao looked a lot haggard. He almost didn't sleep last night. Even his breakfast was not touched at all, so he sent someone to take it away.

Standing next to him was the fierce general Xu Chu. On both sides below him, on one side were generals such as Xu Huang and Cao Hong, and on the other side were counselors such as Jia Xu, Cheng Yu, and Xun You. None of them knew why Cao Cao had become a man overnight. so.

Before they could ask, a scout hurriedly broke into the tent and fell to his knees.

"Lord, it's bad, General Cao Ren was defeated by Xinye!"

Suddenly, Cao Cao had a splitting headache and almost fell to the ground. Xu Chu next to him quickly stepped forward to help him, and other officials and generals also looked nervous.

"My lord, my lord!"

Amid the call, Cao Cao slowly opened his eyes and sat down again, but his face was extremely pale. He suddenly remembered the prediction of the fire-headed soldier last night.

"Cao Ren was really defeated by Xinye!"

Beside him, Jia Xu was sitting at the head of the civil service. He was thin, with long and narrow eyes, as sharp as poisonous snakes. He was wearing a black robe, and exuded a chilling aura around his body.

He glanced at Cao Cao and wondered secretly.

"Is it possible that my lord already knew that General Cao Ren would be defeated?"

Several other counselors also looked at each other, and they all saw doubts in each other's eyes.

If he knew he would be defeated, why would he send General Cao Ren out?
