Survival Three Kingdoms

Chapter 424 Wuhuan Escapes

Qu'a rushed into the camp first with a horse, with a painted halberd, stabbing and sweeping, Liang Guang followed closely, a big knife seemed to chop meat, blood was seen on the knife, and the four thousand cavalry were like wolves and tigers , showing claws and fangs.

Without horses, Wuhuan cavalry are inferior to infantry, unable to form a formation, they can only be harvested like pasture.King Xiao had no choice but to abandon the king's tent, neglecting all the ministries, and led his headquarters to defeat.

The days are always so long in summer, and Qu'a led the army to chase after fifty miles, until it was completely dark, the army stopped chasing and began to clean up the battlefield.The so-called cleaning up the battlefield, the cavalry only played the role of protection and deterrence, and the main work was done by the infantry of Wang Ji and Duanmuling.

Countless torches were lit on the grassland to illuminate the land. After a busy night, Wang Ji finally cleared up the general outline. In this battle, nearly [-] Wuhuan people were killed, [-] surrendered, and more than [-] horses were captured.There were less than [-] dead and wounded cavalry and [-] infantry on our side, most of whom were hit by black knives and black arrows in the melee.

Despite the great harvest and the loss of nearly 3000 people, Qu'a still felt a little distressed.He ordered the corpses to be dug deep and buried, and the plague would be a big trouble in the scorching summer. I believe that next year the pastures on the grassland will be even more luxuriant.All war horses are only allowed to eat food and grass accompanying the army, and are not allowed to graze horses. The remaining crotons will naturally lose their vitality in winter.Wu Anguo asked Wu Anguo to send people back to Jinzhou to recuperate the captured sick horses, and distribute them after the war.

As for the Wuhuan cavalry that surrendered, Wang Ji suggested sending them to Zang Ba and Du Xi. Duanmuling and Yang Rui applauded. It would be a pity to kill them, but leaving them behind would be a disaster, and it would be a shame to send them to these two.Qu A readily agreed, and sent people to escort Goguryeo and Le Lang half and half.

The army rested for three days and continued to approach King Xiao to the south.

King Xiao was defeated and escaped bad luck only by relying on the night.He withdrew his troops and was taken aback. Of the [-] cavalry, there were less than [-] remaining, [-]% of which had no armor or weapons, and the remaining [-] horses, all food and grass were lost.The reason why so few escaped back was that apart from being killed and captured, there were also thousands of people who fled in all directions and disappeared.

Lost food, grass and tents, how can such a small number of people fight?King Wei was afraid of being blamed, and even more afraid of losing his throne, so he urgently sent people back to various ministries to collect food, grass and troops to help the battle.

Qu'a's three-day rest gave King Xiao a three-day respite. He once again summoned 2 people to confront Qu'a, but he knew that the 2 people were just bluffing people, and his real combat capability was worrying, so he dared not go out to fight. , just to protect themselves.

Seeing that King Wei's troops gathered again, Qu'a, who had won a great victory, was not in a hurry. With the advantage of abundant food and grass, he confronted King Wei.

After hearing the news that Cao Cao sent troops back within a month, Duanmuling felt that he would retreat when it was good and retreat to Jinzhou, and Wang Ji also had the same intention.This time, Qu A disagreed. He thought that Cao Cao wanted to win Wuhuan because of such a big battle, and it was impossible to retreat because of such a little difficulty. planning.In addition, if Cao Cao really withdrew from the army, then King Wei was defeated, and there would not be only so few people who came to help the battle. There must be a large group of Wuhuan people coming, and King Wei refused to fight, which is obviously not in line with the warlike nature of the Wuhuan people. He has the character of holding grudges, so he will confront King Xiao now, waiting for Cao Cao to open the situation.

Everyone didn't know much about Cao Cao, only Qu'a and Cao Cao had an intersection, and according to Qu'a's words, everyone closely monitored King Xiao's every move and waited for the opportunity.

In a flash, two months passed.King Xiao waited for Shan Yulouban and King Hanlu's defeated soldiers to arrive. The three of them looked at each other in blank dismay, none of them thought that the other party would be defeated, and even lost the backbone of Ta Dun.

After looking at each other for a long time, King Xiao suggested that the three join forces to attack Qu'a. King Khanlu shook his head and said, "So what if we defeat the soldiers of Jinzhou? Liucheng has been lost, without its foundation, where else can we go?"

Squad Leader Lou sighed, "There is nowhere to go, so the only option is to surrender."

King Xiao's eyes lit up, "Yes, you can surrender, but if we want to surrender to Zhou Cang, then Cao Cao will definitely hate Zhou Cang. When the two fight, we can regain Liucheng."

King Khan Lu smiled wryly: "How can Zhou Cang be so easy to deal with? Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi voted for Jinzhou, but Zhou Cang accepted them and sent them to Cao Cao?"

King Xiao said impatiently: "Then we can only surrender to Cao Cao? Isn't that being broken down by Cao Cao?"

Lou Ban paused for a while, then said: "If you don't surrender, there is still a way out. Let's disperse separately, escape into the mountains and rivers, and seek happiness for ourselves."

The three of them discussed it all night and they didn't come up with a better idea. At dawn, they each took their own people and fled into the deep mountains and wild forests.

Han Hao and Cao Chun went northward all the way, and the Wuhuan defenders guarding the fortress along the way learned that the backyard was on fire, and the unintentional guards scattered and fled. In September, they joined forces with Cao Cao in Liucheng.Qu'a learned that Wuhuan had escaped, so he marched cautiously all the way and reached Liucheng in September, where he camped twenty miles outside the city.

Qu A was worried again, and when he arrived in Liucheng, he would meet Cao Cao. Logically, he should go to see Cao Cao as the master, but Qu A was worried that he would go away like Zhang Jaw and Wu Zhi.Then his subordinates will be annexed by Cao Cao, and even Cao Cao will send troops to Liaodong in one go.No one can understand Cao Cao's thoughts now.

Yang Rui, Wang Ji, and Duan Muling were also a little worried, and finally Yang Rui volunteered: "I am the master of the mansion, and I am also the special envoy sent by the lord. I have full power to handle Jinzhou affairs, so it is reasonable for me to go to see Cao Cao."

Cao Cao was very happy. Wuhuan's hard bone was finally almost gnawed, and Zhang Liao had shown the potential of a general.However, when he saw Yang Rui, he was a little unhappy, "Who are you? Why didn't your general, Qu'a, come?"

"Your Majesty, Yang Rui, is now the chief bookkeeper of Zhou Shijun's mansion, and is also the special envoy sent by Zhou Shijun to Liaodong. He has been ordered to handle Jinzhou affairs with full authority, as evidenced by Zhou Shijun's seal." After finishing speaking, Yang Rui handed over the letter issued by Zhou Cang Indian letter. "Because Wuhuan is still alive, there are still remnants everywhere, so General Qu dare not leave the camp lightly, Lord Sikong please don't blame him."

Cao Cao looked at the seal and nodded. It was the first time he had heard of the title of special envoy. It must be similar to the governor of Guanzhong he sent Zhong Yao to Chijie. However, Zhou Cang did not have such great power, so it was good to create such a title.Looking carefully at Yang Rui again, he is 25 and [-] years old, with elegant appearance and decent manners, and he praises him in his heart. Zhou Cang chose a good master book, and he must be able to be reused by Zhou Cang's authorization.

Seeing that Cao Cao didn't speak, Yang Rui just looked at himself, and his heart skipped a beat, with a bad premonition.
