Prancing Horse Xiliang

Chapter 384 Blocking Cao Aman to Gaoping

Xuchang, Xiliang army camp.

"General Zhao Yun, something is wrong!"

A small school quickly stepped into the army tent and said to Zhao Yun: "General Deng Mao ordered the horse to report quickly. The king of Chu Liu Qi ordered General Liu Bei to lead an army of [-] troops out of Xinye and go northward to attack Wancheng. General, please send reinforcements as soon as possible!"

"what?"

Zhao Yun's eyes froze immediately, and he said in a deep voice, "Has Liu Qi dispatched troops?"

The little school replied, "Exactly!"

Zhao Yun thought for a while, and said, "Quickly summon all the generals to discuss the matter!"

"As ordered!"

The little school promised and ran out immediately.

Shouchun, Sun Ce camp.

In the middle of the night, Xi Ping quickly stepped into the big tent of the army, bowed his hands to Sun Ce and said, "My lord!"

"Military masters don't need to be polite!"

Sun Ce waved his hand anxiously, and after Xi Ping was seated, he asked, "I don't know if the military division is visiting late at night, what's the matter?"

Xi Ping replied: "The news came back from Xiangyang that Liu Qi, the king of Chu, took Liu Bei as a general and led [-] troops north to Xinye to attack Nanyang. Liu Bei's vanguard general Zhang Fei led [-] troops and went north first."

"Oh, is this really the case?"

Xi Ping nodded and said, "It's absolutely true!"

Sun Ce was puzzled and said: "Liu Qi is weak and incompetent, even worse than his father. If Luo Zheng's murderer doesn't go to attack Jingzhou, he should burn incense. How dare he provoke the Xiliang army? If there is something ulterior in it place?"

Xi Ping said: "My lord's guess is right, Liu Qi doesn't have the guts, [-]% of Jingzhou's soldiers and horses are captured by Liu Bei, even Liu Qi has to look at this person's face. And as far as I know, Liu Bei is also very ambitious, isn't it? Willing to be inferior!"

Sun Ce stroked his beard and pondered: "The military adviser continues!"

Xi Pingdao: "If Cao Cao is defeated, no one can stop Luo Zhengzhu from entering the Central Plains. Looking at the world today, Luo Zheng is the most powerful in terms of strength among the princes from all walks of life. If Luo Zheng is allowed to capture the Central Plains again, there will be no surprises In other words, Yuan Shao is not Luo Zheng's opponent. This person is very happy. The 30 Hebei army was defeated by Cao Cao's tens of thousands of soldiers. After defeating Yuan Shao, Luo Zheng will occupy three quarters of the world, and there will be no one to control the world, this should not be the result Liu Bei wants to see."

Sun Ce said in a deep voice, "This is also not the result that this general wants."

Xi Ping nodded and said: "So this is an opportunity for our army. Right now Cao Cao has surrendered the two counties of Huainan and Lujiang, and ordered Cao Hong to retreat to Xuzhou to stand by. My lord can form an alliance with Cao Cao and quickly mobilize troops to attack Runan north. Luo Zheng drove out of the Central Plains."

Sun Ce resolutely said: "Be good, just follow the advice of the military advisor!"

Ten miles to the west of Gaoping, Cao Cao led five thousand cavalry and galloped eastward.

In order to lighten the burden on their horses, the five thousand cavalry rushed with all their might, except for their weapons and armor. They almost threw away everything they could throw away, and each of them only brought three days of dry food.

There was no way, the cavalry from Xiliang was following closely, and they couldn't run fast without throwing things.

It was the first time in his life for Cao Cao to escape in such a mess.

But turning around and fighting to the death with Xiliang soldiers, this idea can only be thought about in the heart, it is impossible to realize.

They are also cavalry, and the fighting power of Xiliang cavalry really makes other princes dare not take chances.

Even Cao Cao's five elite cavalry were a real elite built by him at a huge cost. It was this elite cavalry that defeated Yuan Shao's army in Wuchao in one fell swoop and burned Yuan Shao's 30 troops forage.

But even so, Cao Cao didn't think his cavalry could beat the Xiliang cavalry.

Xiahoudun, Xiahoushang, Cao Chun, Zhang He, Gao Lan, Le Jin, etc. will all look very unsightly.

It was really aggrieved to escape in such embarrassment.

If it weren't for the overall situation, I really want to go back and fight the Xiliang army to the death.

Of course, there is another person who is even more aggrieved, and that is Lu Bu.

From Lu Bu's point of view, Cao Cao's situation is over now. Even if he fled to Xuzhou, he can still play for a few years. Lu Bu has a deep understanding of Luo Zheng. From Lu Bu's point of view, if Cao Cao loses the second state of Yanzhou, Xuzhou will probably not be able to keep it.

If Yuan Shao hadn't been severely injured in the battle of Guandu, he might be able to contain Luo Zheng.

But now Yuan Shao is temporarily unable to use troops abroad, how can Cao Cao's tired soldiers be able to stop Luo Zheng's Xiliang army.

Even though Cao Cao has 10,000+ soldiers and horses under his command, but no amount of soldiers and horses can stand up to the enemy. Except for Cao Hong who guards Huainan with [-] soldiers and horses, I don’t know how many are left. The [-] soldiers and horses of the ground defense Xiliang Army were wiped out, and the [-] troops that met Yuan Shao were now only left with [-] soldiers whose horses could hardly run.

The situation is a bit bad, and I have to find a way out for myself as soon as possible.

Lu Bu ran along on the red rabbit horse, while thinking about it.

It is definitely not possible to hide Cao A's burial. Not to mention that Lu Bu has never had this kind of awareness. Just being tied to Cao Cao like a dog for several years, the resentment in his heart is not ordinary, stronger than the hatred for Luo Zheng.

It is impossible to rely on Luo Zheng. Lu Bu is mixed up like this now, it is all thanks to Luo Zheng, and he can't wait to kill Luo Zheng and then quickly.

Of course, the premise is to have that opportunity.

It might not be possible to rely on Yuan Shao. I beheaded several generals of Yuan Shao, and almost captured Yuan Shao alive in front of the two armies. If I went to Yecheng, I would probably be beheaded by Yuan Shao to vent my anger. Hebei must not go. .

After counting and counting, the only ones left are Sun Ce from Jiangdong and Liu Qi from Jingzhou.

Just before Lu Bu thought about whether to go to Jiangdong to seek refuge with Sun Ce or Jingzhou to seek refuge with Liu Qi, a fast horse from behind chased him like a whirlwind, and he howled at the top of his voice, "Report, Xiliang! The cavalry appeared twenty miles away!"

"Ok?"

Cao Cao was taken aback suddenly, he was so anxious that he didn't know what to do.

The cavalry from Xiliang clung to their backs, which was really not good news.

At this time, Cao Cao can be said to have truly reached the critical moment of life and death.

Cheng Yu thought about it quickly, and said quickly: "My lord, our horses are exhausted, and our soldiers are exhausted. I'm afraid we won't be able to get rid of the Xiliang cavalry's pursuit. It's better to go ahead and take a rest before looking for opportunities to escape."

Xun You, Liu Ye and others who urged the horse to run wildly also seconded loudly out of breath, they couldn't run anymore.

If this continues, sooner or later, Xiliang cavalry will catch up.

Knowing the urgency of the situation, Cao Cao could not hesitate at all, and said decisively, "Good, just follow Zhongde's opinion!"

Twenty miles away, the Xiliang cavalry was in front of the formation.

Luo Zheng was urging his horse to gallop, and a scout in front of him galloped like a meteor.

"Report-"

The scout cavalry urged their horses to the nearest number, and shouted: "My lord, Cao's army is heading for Gaoping."

"Gao Ping?"

There was a cold smile on the corner of Luo Zheng's mouth, he clamped his horse's belly, and shouted: "Go, block Cao Aman to death in Gaoping!"
