The most poisonous person in the Three Kingdoms, Boss Cao advised me to calm down!

Chapter 296 The Rich and Fat Black Man
Liu Xiongming was overjoyed when the Tongguan defenders fled without fighting.

Immediately order the march to speed up.

He was even more thinking in his mind that Hongnong was ready for battle.

But there were only more than 3,000 soldiers in total, and their equipment was not very good.

Besides, Zhong Yao was a man of letters.

Even if I can't capture the city, I can still defeat him.

As for Xiahou Yuan's troops, they were still fighting with Shang Yao of Taiyuan.

It won’t arrive in a short time, and even if it does, it will.

You can also set up camp and hold your ground.

In this way, all we need to do is wait for the arrival of Ma Chao and Han Sui's armies.

It will definitely catch Cao Cao's main force off guard.

But once he passed Tongguan, the scenery changed completely.

Although it is still an ancient mountain road, fertile farmland gradually appears in the distance.

It can be seen that Zhong Yao is not good at fighting wars, but he is good at governing prefectures and counties.

He is a good official if he can make the people live and work in peace and contentment.

Thinking of this, Liu Xiongming was filled with emotion.

However, after walking five or six miles, a spy came to report:

"General! There is a team ahead fleeing eastwards."

Liu Xiongming also became interested when he heard it!
"Escape to the east? How many people?"

The spy replied truthfully: "Less than a hundred people!"

Liu Xiongming laughed as soon as he heard it!
"They must be soldiers who escaped from Tongguan."

"Let's catch up and take care of them all."

"Because they won't run back to Hongnong to report the news!"

All the soldiers in Guanzhong knew about it.

The rebellion was massive, and they encountered no enemies along the way.

Now everyone is ready to follow the old general.

After going around a ridge, we saw the flags of the government troops.

These people were fleeing in scattered groups.

When a large number of people bully a small number of people, how can they not give the fallen dog a beating?
When the officers and soldiers saw the enemy chasing them,

They were so scared that they quickened their pace.

Liu Xiongming also shouted at the top of his lungs and chased after him desperately.

However, the older the ginger, the spicier it is.

He led his army in pursuit for less than a mile.

Old man Liu Xiongming discovered something was wrong.

The group of less than a hundred people fled in panic.

How could they not throw down their weapons? Why were they still holding up their flags?

This is obviously wrong!
Liu Xiongming reacted immediately.

He immediately pulled the reins back and turned to his deputy general Yang Kui and said:

"Quick! Stop the soldiers!"

“Yes!” Yang Kui took the order and immediately rode his horse forward to chase.

Fortunately, the cavalry were running in front, and the infantry behind were a little slower.

Only a thousand or so people were chasing closely.

Liu Xiongming had just breathed a sigh of relief and had not yet come to his senses.

Then I heard a sudden commotion from both sides!
For a moment, the shouts of killing were loud!
It turns out there is a trick here!

There is an ambush in the forest here!
But Liu Xiongming is, after all, a veteran general who rose to prominence during the Dong Zhuo Rebellion.

He was a veteran of many battles, so he immediately gave the order:

"The infantry will retreat first, and I, an old man, will cover your retreat myself!"

"I want to see what Zhong Yao is capable of!!"

He didn't feel scared yet, thinking that there were only more than 3,000 untrained recruits in Hongnong.

And it is impossible to send them all out.

So even if the other party has an ambush, there is no need to be afraid.

But when a large group of Cao's troops rushed down the mountain.

Only then did Liu Xiongming realize that he had misjudged the situation!
Looking around at this time, we saw Cao's soldiers everywhere in the mountains.

If not ten thousand, at least seven or eight thousand!
On the road ahead, the figures of a large group of cavalry could be vaguely seen.

It was too late for Liu Xiongming to run away now!
I just felt that the enemies were coming like a tide.

Soon his thousand-plus cavalrymen were surrounded!
He couldn't afford to back down when the time came, and Liu Xiongming still wanted to be tough.

He raised the spear in his hand and prepared to lead his troops to break out.

Who knew that before I could find the right direction, a rain of arrows flew towards me from the front!

Liu Xiongming was caught off guard and hit by an arrow in the arm!
At this moment, the spear flew out of his hand, and he was even more shocked!
Then, several strong knights thrust their spears into his horse's neck!
And the moment Liu Xiongming fell off the horse.

But before he could stand up.

His arms and legs had been tied up tightly by Cao's soldiers.

Wait for the moment he looks up.

I saw a banner in front of me with the two big words "Xiahou" written on it.

A bearded general sat upright on horseback.

Only then did Liu Xiongming realize that he was doomed!

As soon as Old Man Liu passed Tongguan, he was ambushed and captured by Cao's army.

After that, he was imprisoned in a military tent.

Although he was a defeated general, fortunately Cao's army didn't do anything to him.

Not only did he have no worries about food and drink, but he was also not shackled.

No one came to torture and interrogate him.

So even though he became a prisoner, the old man was still very brave.

Just eat and drink.

There was no sign of any restless movement.

It was a while later that he heard about it from the person who delivered the food.

The one who defeated him was not Zhong Yao, the Inspector of the Imperial Guards.

But it was Xiahou Yuan who came from Taiyuan.

Liu Xiongming felt a little discouraged when he heard this.

I originally thought that the Guanzhong coalition formed by Ma Chao and Han Sui could rescue me.

As a result, after waiting for a long time, Xiahou Yuan arrived first!
Thinking of this, Liu Xiongming felt more and more uneasy!
Could it be that Cao Cao had already calculated the movements of the Guanzhong coalition forces?
Even Taiyuan Shang Yao had been dealt with in advance?
So what should I do next?
But now he is a prisoner.

I have no control over myself at this moment and there is no point in being anxious.

I can only endure it day by day.

Fortunately, I brought it from Lantian.

Most of them escaped at that time and not many were caught.

But when I think about it, I am already so old, but I am still fighting and killing.

Now his expedition has been unsuccessful, his beard has turned white and he has been taken prisoner.

This is such an embarrassment!

I really shouldn't have gotten involved in this mess!
Forget it, they all fell into the hands of Cao’s army anyway.

It’s up to you to kill me or chop me up, I’ll die anyway!
But I have to eat, drink, defecate, urinate and sleep here every day.

But no one came to take his life, so he was just locked up.

The food and drinks are getting better and better, and there is even a little wine to drink.

After a long time, he became familiar with the soldiers guarding him.

You can also go out for a walk and get some fresh air while they are watching.

The most uncomfortable thing was that he could not see the generals on Cao Cao's side at all.

If only Cao Ren and Xiahou Yuan, the generals under Cao's army, could do it.

Or maybe Zhong Yao could meet him.

Even if you scold yourself and the other person sees it.

It’s better than living under someone else’s roof like this!

After all, his current situation.

Doesn’t this mean he has become a hostage in Cao Cao’s hands?
Could it be that Cao Cao wants to use me to contain the Guanzhong coalition forces?

Old man Liu thought about it over and over again, but couldn't figure it out.

Just live your life in a daze.

About half a month had passed.

That afternoon, Liu Xiongming was sleeping soundly in the tent.

Suddenly, the curtain was lifted.

A short, fat, dark man strode in.

He glanced at Liu Xiongming and said something to the outside.

Then, Liu Xiongming saw the man leading two people in.

The fat black man in the lead looked to be less than sixty years old.

He had a gray beard, wore a military officer's hat, and was dressed in a gray robe.

There were two more people following behind, one of them wearing a silk scarf and dressed like a scholar.

The other one was burly and strong, wearing armor, with a face full of flesh and eyes wide open.

You can tell at first glance that he is a fierce general.

These three people have a clear hierarchy, and their clothes make them look either rich or noble.

Obviously he holds a high position in Cao's army.
