The Three Kingdoms: The Cold Gate World

Chapter 356 The Fall of the Hero
There are interceptions in the front and pursuers in the back. This Huarong trail is full of the smell of death.

Cao Cao had no master, he never expected that Guo Jia would lead his army to appear here, the best place to set up an ambush on the way back to Jiangling!

There were so many doubts that Cao Cao had no time to think.

Why did Guo Jia expect him to be defeated?Why can he calculate his defeated escape route so accurately?

Abandoning the opportunity to sweep the Central Plains from the north has already caught Cao Cao by surprise, not to mention the fact that the battle in Chibi was as expected!
If Cao Cao had won, if Sun and Liu's allied forces hadn't camped in Chibi, and if Cao Cao had a boat to meet him by the Han River, he would not have taken the Huarong Road, but would have gone around the Han River and taken a boat to escape.

Facing the defeat of his 30 troops by the Sun-Liu coalition forces, Cao Cao, who had never felt despair, at this moment cold sweat rolled down his slightly aged face.

Life hangs by a thread!

Guo Jia's army that was blocking the way not far away did not swarm up.

Guo Jia rode his horse forward slowly, and the crossbowmen beside him were also advancing with their strong crossbows aimed at Cao Jun. Cao Jun was already within range, waiting for Guo Jia's order.

Cao Cao could not advance or retreat, Cao Cao was running for his life in the front, and the soldiers behind him blocked the retreat. If he wanted to retreat, it would be too late. If he could not escape Huarong Road, the pursuers of the Sun Liu coalition army would also kill him.

Cao Chun, Le Jin, and Li Tongsan stood guard in front of Cao Cao, holding their weapons tightly, as if determined to fight to the death.

Cao Cao waved his hand to make the three generals retreat. He knew very well that if Guo Jia wanted to kill him, he would not be able to escape even with ten generals by his side.

Riding out on horseback, Cao Cao still showed no sign of weakness, and after he calmed down, he showed a grim expression.

Going out alone, Cao Cao faced Guo Jia less than twenty steps away, and beside Guo Jia, a crossbow exuded a murderous aura aimed at Cao Cao.

"Guo Fengxiao, if you let Gu go away today. Gu guarantees that Jingzhou is yours, and the Central Plains are also yours. I will retreat to Hebei and never go south."

Cao Cao stared at Guo Jia, who was expressionless at the moment. His proposal was practical and attractive, not like empty talk. Guo Jia could even use Cao Cao as a hostage to force Cao Ren to give up Jiangling. Then Jingzhou belonged to Guo Jia. With Jingzhou After that, Guo Jia could double-team the Central Plains from Jingzhou and Guanzhong, but Cao Cao couldn't defend it if he wanted to. Therefore, he proposed to retreat to Hebei, which was nothing more than reducing the loss of Guo Jia's conquest of the Central Plains. It was based on practical considerations.

Guo Jia didn't draw his sword, he was holding the rein with one hand, and only a piece of white silk dyed red was in the other hand.

"King Wei, I won't let you go. Jingzhou is also mine, and the world will be mine sooner or later. I'm not interested in your conditions."

Guo Jia's tone was indifferent, his eyes were like a pool of stagnant water, and the waves were calm.

Cao Cao suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed, sneering mockingly!

"Guo Fengxiao, you are so naive! If you kill the orphan, the descendants of the Cao family will retaliate wildly against you! Your ally today, Sun Zhongmou, will ignore you and swallow Jingzhou? You want to capture the Central Plains? You can stop Cao's counterattack and Is it Sun Quan's surprise attack?"

Cao Cao has completely let go of those premature complacency, and after calming down, his analysis of the situation hits the nail on the head.

Guo Jia formed an alliance with Sun Quan, which means that Cao Wei is powerful!

With Chibi's defeat, and Guo Jia's army now appearing in Jingzhou, it is obvious that in the future, Guo Jia's power will develop into the number one lord in the world, so how can Sun Quan have no sense of crisis?The nominal covenant between the two will become very fragile.

Guo Jia was still indifferent, when the morning wind blew, Guo Jia suddenly threw the blood-stained white silk to Cao Cao, and flew up to Cao Cao with the wind. Cao Cao caught the white silk with one hand, opened it, and saw four blood-colored silk The big characters are shocking.

Destroy Cao Fuhan!

The handwriting, he recognized, was Xun Yu who had gone through ups and downs with him and helped him rise to the Central Plains!
Cao Cao held the white silk tightly in his hands, raised his head and yelled at Guo Jia: "Guo Jia! Are you humiliating Gu? Tell Gu! Is Gu wrong? In this world, there are still people who will help Han No, no, no, no, no Sun Quan, not even that sanctimonious and ambitious Liu Bei! The princes of the four directions, who is not for their own grand plans? I am sorry for Wen Ruo. It is Wen Ruo who is stubborn. See clearly the situation in this world!"

Faced with Cao Cao's questioning, Guo Jia closed his eyes and did not respond.

Indeed, when Cao Cao killed Xun Yu, the pain in his heart was no less than that of Guo Jia. He was forced to kill Xun Yu. It was a decision that the hero in front of him had to make. The Cao family could not be a loyal minister, and the Guo family could not be a loyal minister. Not loyal ministers, it's not that they were disloyal, but that the royal family of the Han Dynasty was simply incapable of ruling the country!
Opening his eyes, still indifferent, Guo Jia suddenly waved his hand and uttered a word coldly.

"kill."

The crossbowmen were ordered to shoot random arrows!
Cao Cao was less than [-] steps away from Guo Jia, and he shot with a powerful crossbow, and the arrows were like locusts, and there was a series of sounds of piercing through the air.

Holding the piece of white silk tightly, Cao Cao was shot with arrows all over his body, his horse fell down, and he fell to the ground. Cao Chun, Le Jin, and Li Tong's terrified cries came from behind him.

"King Wei!"

Cao Cao fell off his horse, many arrows pierced through his body, and the ground was stained red with blood. In the last thing Cao Cao didn't want to close, there was only two words on the white silk in his hand.

Kill Cao!

At the end of his life, Cao Cao's mouth overflowed with blood, but he gritted his teeth and said word by word: "Gu, don't regret it!"

Wei Wang is dead!
After defeating Chibi, Cao Mengde, the hero of the first generation, was buried in the hands of Guo Jia on Huarong Road!
The emperor fell!

Cao Chun, Le Jin, and Li Tong saw that Cao Cao was shot by countless arrows, fell off his horse and did not move. The three of them roared into the sky, their eyes were about to burst, and they rushed towards Guo Jia with their weapons in their hands, ignoring the rain of arrows.

"Dog thief, you will die for me!"

The three generals rushed straight to Guo Jia, and they all fell off their horses after taking two steps. Like Cao Cao, they were killed by a strong crossbow in a short distance.

Cao Jun from behind surged up like a wave, but people kept lying in a pool of blood.

Due to the narrowness of Huarong Road, the crossbowmen retreated after firing. After shooting nearly a thousand Cao soldiers, the opponent also approached Guo Jia less than [-] steps away. .

Strong soldiers passed by like ants, Guo Jia was condescending, and his eyes had been locked on Cao Cao since he fell from his horse.

There is a complexity that no one knows about in his eyes.

Once upon a time, the corpse in front of him was the person Guo Jia wanted to serve.

Once, he dreamed of assisting the hero Cao Cao to complete the great cause of dominating the country.

Once, he thought he could change this era together with Cao Cao.

Fate is impermanent, and the world is helpless.

Guo Jia now looks back and thinks about the situation 20 years ago. He deeply knows that even if he joins Cao Cao, he will never be able to achieve his ideal.

The class struggle between the poor family and the gentry, because Cao Cao was located in the Central Plains and the emperor ordered the princes, in the cracks, he could not make too many enemies, so he could not ban the gentry class, and it would never be changed over time.

Hua Rongdao, how could Cao Jun's remnants and defeated generals be the opponents of Dian Wei's Tiger Guards?The heavy infantry pushed forward layer by layer and suppressed Cao Jun to retreat. Blood flowed like rivers and bones were all over the ground.

Behind the narrow road, Cao Jun began to flee. After entering Huarong Road, he was about to escape, but turned back and ran for his life.

Guo Jia didn't let Dian Wei lead his army in pursuit. The heavy infantry's pursuit ability was obviously inferior, and those remnants would be taken care of by others.

Ordering people to bring Cao Cao's body, Guo Jia turned his horse's head and came to Xu Chu's side, looked at Xu Chu who was full of fighting spirit, and said: "Everything will be done according to what was deployed during the expedition, Zhongkang, be careful, Liu Bei is concerned about Zhang Zhao. There are three generals, and there is Zhuge Liang, who cannot be compared with ordinary people, if Zhou Yu and Liu Bei advance and retreat together, don't fight recklessly, return to Jiangling and join me."

Xu Chu clasped his fists solemnly to accept the order, and then led the Wudang Flying Army along the dangerous mountain roads on both sides of Huarong Road. stand up.

Guo Jia led the army to turn around and go straight to Jiangling!

An hour later, Zhou Yu chased to Huarong Road with General Jiangdong and Liu Bei's troops.

As soon as he stepped into Huarong Road, the corpses all over the ground were Cao soldiers trampled to death by horseshoes.

Zhou Yu was furious, and the other generals were also filled with righteous indignation.

In order to escape for his life, Cao Cao ignored the lives of his soldiers!

"Great governor, Cao thief may have fled back to Jiangling."

Lu Meng's face showed regret, and he just missed the god-given opportunity to kill Cao.

Zhou Yu also looked up to the sky and sighed, but his face changed, and he said solemnly: "Keep chasing! Cao's army is defeated and morale is low. We will take advantage of the victory to pursue and take Jiangling."

Liu Bei who was on the side said hesitantly, "Here, Chief Governor, Jiangling still has [-] soldiers from Cao Bandits. It may not be easy for us to besiege Jiangling."

Jiangdong and Liu Bei's group had only [-] pursuers, and Jiangling had Cao Jun's [-]. Sun and Liu's allied forces charged all night and then ran long distances to pursue them. When they arrived at Jiangling, they must be exhausted and unable to fight again.

Zhou Yu didn't go to see Liu Bei, and said calmly: "If the uncle is afraid of Cao thief, he can leave on his own."

This was obviously contemptuous. Zhou Yu didn't care about the number of soldiers and horses when he fought, but focused on his position.

Cao Cao fled in despair, even if he arrived in Jiangling, he must still be in a state of mind, and he cannot be given a chance to regroup. The best choice is to go all out and fight.

"The governor should not underestimate people. Isn't he going to Jiangling? I will accompany you to the end."

Zhang Fei confronted Zhou Yu tit for tat, holding the Zhangba Snake Spear with his chest up and his head upright, looking fearless.

Zhou Yu didn't care, and ordered the whole army to enter Huarong Road to continue chasing Cao Cao.

Suddenly, there was a commotion ahead.

Zhou Yu ordered the whole army to stop, and then sent scouts to investigate.

Zhuge Liang looked around the surrounding terrain and found that this is a natural ambush!
However, did Cao Cao set up an ambush?Obviously not.

It is impossible for Cao Ren in Jiangling to get the news of Cao Cao's defeat so quickly and come to Huarong Road to cut off Cao Cao's heir.

A piece of Cao Jun fled ahead, in a state of chaos, Zhuge Liang looked more suspicious.

Cao Jun fled forward, why did he come back?
Zhou Yu didn't care about that, and ordered to rush to kill.

These Cao Jun who were forced back by Guo Jia are still dead.

After clearing out these remnants of Cao Cao, Zhou Yu led his army to move on.

Sun and Liu's coalition forces walked out of Huarong Road unharmed and headed for Jiangling.
