Liu Qi, the hegemon of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 550
Of course Cao Cao knew who the "they" Xi Zhicai was talking about were.

He was talking about the group of people who wanted to stop Liu Qi.

Although they all knew that the Han army dared to leave swaggeringly, then the King of Han might not be among them, but there was only a slight chance, and they would not let it go.

Then, there is no guarantee that something will happen later.

Xi Zhicai's worries were not unfounded.

But he still believed that those people would handle it well.

Hear Cao Cao's words.

Xi Zhicai also nodded and said no more, and he also knew that there would be a change, and that was only a very small probability.

After all, those who have made it this far, and those who still occupy a certain position in their camp, are not fools.

It is very clear what can be done and what cannot be done.

It's like ignoring Cao Cao's orders and privately deploying troops. If you can do it, it's because you have no selfish intentions and are dedicated to Cao Cao's cause.

"My lord, even though this is the case, we still need to be warned!" Xun Yu said.

heard.

Xi Zhicai's eyes lit up, and said: "It should be like this!"

It was obvious that something had come to mind.

Cao Cao also had a flash in his eyes, touched his chin, pondered for a moment, and said: "So, let Zhongkang go for a while!"

"Zhongkang!"

After finishing speaking, he also yelled in the direction of the garden gate.

"Subordinates are here!"

From time to time, a burly man appeared at the gate of the garden. It was Cao Cao's bodyguard commander, Xu Chu and Xu Zhongkang.

"Take my oral instructions and go up there!" Cao Cao said.

Then he also talked about the matter to Xu Chu.

"promise!"

Xu Chu didn't hesitate either, and as soon as he cupped his hands, he turned and left, ready to convey Cao Cao's order.

Wait for Xu Chu to leave.

"Zhicai, Wen Ruo, can you imagine how the King of Han will leave?" Cao Cao asked suddenly.

Hear Cao Cao's question.

Xi Zhicai and Xun Yu were also taken aback for a moment, and then they also pondered, considering the question Cao Cao asked.

a while.
"My subordinates don't know!" Xi Zhicai and Xun Yu said in unison.

It is also difficult for them to guess how Liu Qi will leave Chang'an. After all, Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, Dian Wei, Jia Xu, and a group of soldiers are all there, which proves that Liu Qi's current defense is the weakest.

And Liu Qi also understood his situation, so how could he expose himself so easily.

It is also more difficult to guess.

Cao Cao nodded, and didn't say much. Although he was familiar with Liu Qi, it was just familiarity, and he couldn't fully guess it, if that was the case.

"Wait for the news!" Cao Cao said.

Immediately, he put the white chess in his hand on the board and continued the unfinished chess game.

Xi Zhicai and Xun Yu also nodded, and stopped talking. One played chess with Cao Cao, and the other watched from the sidelines, waiting for the news to come back.

But said.

After the Han army left the camp, they rushed back to Yizhou in the direction they had come, without any concealment, preparing to march at night with the help of the bright moonlight.

Not fast, but not slow either.

Huang Zhong led five hundred cavalry to open the way in front, and the rest led the remaining soldiers and horses to follow behind, with a difference of less than 500 meters.

After ten miles away from Chang'an City.

Huang Zhong, who led five hundred cavalry to open the way ahead, stared at the front of the road with fixed eyes.

Because under the bright moonlight, he also saw changes ahead.

I see.

A soldier and horse can be seen in the middle of the road ahead, and there are many horse barriers on the road, occupying the entire road, and there are still two rows.

The obvious thing is to deal with the existence of cavalry.

They didn't send scouts to investigate ahead, after all, there was no need for that, and they only discovered it when they got close.

From a distance, it can be seen that there are not many soldiers and horses ahead.

Much more than their side.

"General, this...!" Huang Zhong's personal guard said.

Huang Zhong waved his hand and said, "Go ahead, report this to General Zhao!"

"promise!"

The personal guards did not hesitate either, and pulled back the horse, then turned the horse's head and went back.

But Huang Zhong didn't stop, and continued to lead five hundred cavalry towards the front.

from time to time.

Then came to the front of the interception.

"General Xiahou, what is the meaning of this?"

Huang Zhong led [-] cavalry, came not far in front of the army, stopped, immediately slashed his sword, looked ahead, his eyes flashed.

And the words also showed where the soldiers and horses who intercepted them in front came from.

It was Wei Jun, and the leader was Xia Houyuan.

"The King of Han left Chang'an, I'm just here to see him off!" Xia Houyuan said flatly.

However, his eyes were scanning the Han army behind Huang Zhong.

Hearing Xia Houyuan's insincere words.

Huang Zhong also focused his eyes, and said: "Thank you General Xiahou for your kindness, my lord has been away for a long time, and now he may have reached the border of Yizhou!"

heard.

Xia Houyuan was also taken aback for a moment. After all, he also had some guesses. Before Liu Bei and Sun Quan, he didn't stay, let alone Liu Qi, but he didn't give up.

And there are still many people who don't give up.

Although Liu Bei and Sun Quan cannot be kept, it is possible to keep Liu Qi, and they all agree that Liu Qi is the most threatening existence to Cao Cao.

But now it seems that it is not so easy.

"Let's invite the King of Han to come out!"

Xia Houyuan still didn't quite believe it. After all, Huang Zhong and others were there, so there was a high chance that Liu Qi would be there, and their scouting report also confirmed the existence of Liu Qi's exclusive mount - Chasing Shadow Jade Dragon Drive.

"Dignified King Wei, do you want to go back on your word?"

At this time, a voice came from behind.

I see.

A general wearing a silver armor and a white robe came out on a white horse with a spear in his hand, but this person was not Liu Qi, but Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong.

Dian Wei and Jia Xu were also accompanying him.

After all, the two soldiers and horses were not far apart. During this period of time, Zhao Yun and others also led the soldiers and horses to catch up.

"Humph!"

Xia Houyuan snorted lightly, but did not answer.

After all, Cao Cao had ordered this Han army to come in and out of their territory. As long as there was no threat, they didn't need to pay attention to it. Of course, it was just this time.

a time.

The atmosphere between the two sides also became dignified.

After all, Xia Houyuan didn't want to let the Han army go just like that, but if the King of Han really wasn't among them, then the loss in the fight would not be something he could bear.

not to mention.

He also knew very well that if Liu Qi was not among them, Zhao Yun and others wanted to leave, and he really couldn't stop him. As for the elimination of the five thousand cavalry of the Han army, it would not have much effect.

Just when the two sides wanted to disagree and prepare for conflict.

A horse came galloping from afar.

"Pass the Lord's order, withdraw from the road, and let the Han army leave!" A loud shout followed.
