When Ji Han and his men traveled to the Three Kingdoms crew

Chapter 412 Cheng Yu: I just want to watch quietly

"Finally I escaped from danger"

Zhang He, who led the remaining 500 cavalrymen to escape, breathed a sigh of relief. His frown relaxed a lot, but the stone in his heart was not completely at ease. When he broke out from Jinyang before, even with Lu Bu's restraint, he still lost most of his troops. Now half of his troops were left by Cao Cao.

In the end, they were unable to escape from their current predicament.

Thinking of this, clouds of worry gathered in Zhang He's eyes again.

The knights on both sides seemed to see Zhang He's worry, and they comforted him, "We were able to break out of the encirclement because of your command. Please don't blame yourself!"

"That's right, without the general, I'm afraid we won't be able to leave Jinyang. Now we are already ambushed, it's a blessing to be alive!" another knight echoed.

As soon as these words came out, the rest of the people smiled and their voices became more cheerful, changing from their previous gloomy voices. Everyone did not mention the matter of "Yuan Shao's reinforcements" at the same time. They were too flustered just now, and their troops were already losing their composure, and their morale was shaken to the point of collapse.

For a moment, no one noticed the wrongness in Zhang He's words. Now that they were out of trouble, their minds seemed to be much clearer. Thinking carefully, if Yuan Shao's army had really arrived, why was there no sign of it along the way? Why didn't the enemy ambush and evacuate quickly? Weren't they afraid of Yuan Shao's army?

However, no one investigated the matter. It was not easy for him to escape the pursuit of Zhang Fei, who had been famous for a long time.
Everyone looked at Zhang He and saw his tired back, and they all gave him admiring glances.

However, God did not fulfill his wish.

Just when everyone thought they were out of trouble for the time being, a deafening voice sounded from behind.

"The armored leader is the common man Zhang He! My fellow soldiers followed me in capturing the common man Zhang He and achieved an unprecedented feat!"

Zhang He's pupils trembled, and the smiles of the Jizhou cavalrymen froze instantly. This voice... is it from the enemy general just now? !
How did the enemy catch up with them?

The Jizhou cavalrymen's Adam's apples rolled involuntarily, they swallowed their saliva, looked back in disbelief, and their pupils suddenly shrank!
They finally had the answer to their puzzlement as to how the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry caught up with them.

The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry were like soul-stealing messengers that lingered around, with one knight equipped with two horses. No wonder we were able to catch up with them!

This. What should I do!

The Jizhou cavalry turned their eyes to Zhang He. Zhang He fell silent, his thoughts constantly colliding in his brain as he thought about how to respond.

At first glance, it seemed that Cao Cao was coming with great force and wanted to take his head.

But. Is it really so?
Is it really that simple for Cao Mengde to be able to boost morale?

If you want to eat them, just rely on them.
Zhang He looked back and roughly counted the number of Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, which was about twice as many as theirs.

That is to say, Qianqi
A thousand cavalrymen are chasing us. If our army has enough morale and is well commanded, we may be able to defeat them.
The thought that suddenly popped up in his mind almost scared Zhang He.

I defeated Zhang Fei's Tiger and Leopard Cavalry? That's just wishful thinking.
As for Cao Mengde's real purpose, it should be to stop us from going to Jizhou for help.
Zhang He always felt that something was wrong.

"call out"

"General! Avoid the arrows!" the knight behind him shouted.

An arrow came from behind, but fortunately Zhang He was agile and just when the arrow was about to hit him, he dodged the arrow by tilting his body.

Zhang He knew that he did not have much time to think carefully, nor did he have time to speculate on Cao Cao's true intentions. The most urgent task was to go to Jizhou to report the affairs of Bingzhou to Yuan Shao!
Zhang He winked at the knight beside him, who understood immediately and rode closer. "What do you want, General?"

"I have a favor to ask of you."

The knight's expression became solemn, and his tone became serious, "General, please give me your orders. I will definitely not let you down!"

"Good!" Zhang He nodded. "I will stop Cao Mengde, and you will lead a hundred cavalrymen to Jizhou overnight to tell Lord Yuan about Bingzhou's affairs!"

"!" The knight's pupils slightly widened, and he looked at Zhang He in astonishment. General Zhang is the last one to leave? Isn't that a dead end?!

So he hurriedly advised: "General, please think twice! Cao Mengde is obviously coming towards you! We should stop Cao Mengde! If Cao Mengde captures you, the people in Jinyang will be in a panic!"

Zhang He was stunned. This was true. If he was captured, it would only make the situation in Jinyang worse. However, it was more important to send the message out!
If Cao Mengde was really coming for him, it would be extremely difficult for him to escape.

Zhang He's thoughts kept surging in his mind. After thinking for a while, he decided to take a gamble, so he said in a deep voice: "You take a hundred cavalrymen to pass through Jingxing Road at night. If Cao Mengde's main force tries to pursue you, then I will stop Cao Mengde for you."

"What if Cao Mengde still keeps chasing the general?" asked the knight.

Zhang He exhaled a breath of foul air and said, "If Cao Mengde keeps biting me, I will lure Cao Mengde into the valley. Then you will go around behind Cao Mengde, raise the dust, and raise the flags, so that Cao Mengde will mistakenly think that our reinforcements have arrived. By then, our morale will surely be greatly boosted, and I think we can scare Cao Mengde."

"." The knight lowered his head. Even though he was extremely reluctant, he still squeezed out the word "good" from between his teeth and said, "I will definitely not let the general down."

Zhang He nodded and gave words of encouragement. This man has always been steady. More importantly, he is from Changshan County. He has followed his parents to and from Taihang Mountains since he was a child. In terms of his familiarity with the terrain, no one in the army can match him.

"Go." Zhang He looked at the knight.

The knight could only suppress his lost look and nodded seriously, "Yes."

"Colonel Captain!"

Zhang Xiu narrowed his eyes and looked at Zhang He and his Jizhou cavalrymen running ahead. He asked, "I see that Zhang He is a common man and seems to want to split his troops and escape. What should we do?"

"What should it be?"

Cao Cao had no other options. Zhang He was Yan Liang's general. Not to mention the great merit of killing or capturing him, his help in taking down Jinyang City was not insignificant. He could push Zhang He to the front of the city. When the soldiers in the city saw that Zhang He had become a prisoner, they would know that it was impossible to wait for reinforcements. By then, they would be able to make a final decision and take down the city!

Cao Cao fixed his eyes on Zhang He with a burning gaze. He curled his lips and said, "Zhang He is the most important man. The rest don't need to be taken care of!"

Zhang Xiu thought about it and felt that what Cao Cao said made sense, so he said "yes".

Cheng Yu couldn't stand it anymore. He wanted to remind him, but when the words came to his lips, he couldn't say them. Although he was in Cao Cao's army at the moment, the problem was that Zhang He had also protected him all the way. Chen Gong's request was just to let him act as Cao Cao's guide. This behavior was beyond the guide.
That’s all.

Let’s take a look first and then talk.

Cheng Yu thought silently.
