Summoning of God of War of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 509 Cao Cao Escapes
Between the mountains and plains in the north of Baishuiguan, Yuwen Chengdu led troops to rest in the mountains and forests. After many days of guerrilla warfare, the soldiers of Suanni Iron Cavalry were exhausted, and now it happened to be an excellent time to rest.

"General, we let Cao Hong go there just now. If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince knew about this, wouldn't it be..." The soldiers who followed Yu Wencheng were a little nervous and asked.

Yu Wencheng shook his head, took out the secret letter from his sleeve, and asked the soldier to read it.

After the deputy general finished reading, he suddenly realized, and said in surprise: "It turns out that the goal of Guo Jia's military division has never been Cao Mengde, but Yizhou! That's right, as long as Yangping Pass is captured, it will only take three to five days for the Jin army to capture Chengdu." .Cao Cao is now a wounded tiger trapped in a cage, and it is really unwise to fight him to the death."

Yuwen Chengdu snorted coldly, and added: "This is only part of it. The military division meant to use Chengdu as a temporary base to besiege Cao Cao from three sides. If Cao Cao was captured, it would at most damage Qin's morale. Cao Pi would still be difficult to deal with after he came to power. Abandoning Cao Cao and choosing to take Cao Pi directly is tantamount to pulling out the lifeline of Qin State. Without the lifeline, Qin State will also be abolished."

Yu Wencheng frowned. Guo Jia personally told himself to wait for his news before, whether to intercept Cao Cao or go directly to Yangping Pass to support His Royal Highness, he had to wait for the news.

But it has been six days since Guo Jia's military division has not heard from him, and Yuwen Chengdu feels that the situation is not good.

Huang Zhong set fire to Biancheng, and His Royal Highness occupied Yangping Pass. All these information had already reached Yuwen Chengdu, but the news of Guo Jia's military division stopped abruptly.

"Let the soldiers take the time to rest and eat more dry food. We are going to intercept Cao Cao's army today. There is no military order from Guo Jia's army division, so let's make a quick decision!" Yu Wencheng decided to seek stability, and intercepting Cao Cao would not consume too much energy. Troop strength, but also to confirm the battle situation.

At noon, Cao Cao and Cao Hong led an army to break through to Baishuiguan. There were almost no Qin soldiers to intercept them along the way.

"Zhicai really has a clever plan. This Han Wu really thought that he would storm Yangping Pass! Breaking through Baishui Pass directly, the Hanzhong army is enough for me to gather my forces again." Cao Cao laughed loudly, feeling a sense of survival after the catastrophe, But there is also a trace of helplessness and desolation in my heart.

In this battle between Yongliang and Liang, Qin was defeated again. Cao Cao knew that Qin would no longer be able to compete with Jin.Even if we fight to the end, it will only be a few more years of delay, and the capital to turn defeat into victory is gone.

Li Ru frowned, but still poured cold water on him: "Mr. Cao is careless. Now he can only stick to Hanzhong. I am afraid that he will face a three-sided attack within a year. If Han Wu's army does not care about casualties, directly Go south from Yangping Pass to capture Zitong... Hey! You can reach Chengdu in five days. His Royal Highness is certainly brave, but he is no match for Han Wu after all. In three months, Chengdu will surely fall."

Hearing Li Ru pouring cold water on him, Cao Cao not only didn't get angry, but sighed helplessly.Because what Li Ru said is true, Chengdu is already in crisis.

"Zihuan...Zijian...it depends on their own abilities. Sima Yi will advise Zihuan to retreat to Jiangzhou. With the strength of the king of Nanzhong, Han Wu is not enough to fight Wuling in one fell swoop." Cao Cao calculated the situation in Chengdu. He thinks that his son will be able to guard for a while.

"Cao Cao dies! Soldiers, charge!"

Just when Cao Cao was in a daze, an army of Suanni cavalry came oncoming in front of him, and the dust was flying.

Cao Cao gritted his teeth and said angrily, "Soldiers, rush over! Cao Hong, I'll give you [-] cavalry to block the suanni cavalry!"

Absolutely can't let Suanni Iron Cavalry delay himself here, Cao Cao has the belief that he must break through.

With a roar, Cao Cao drew out his Yitian sword and faced the Suanni Iron Cavalry.

Yuwen Chengdu also saw how excited Qin Jun was, and he snorted coldly, not intending to go all out.

"Soldiers, self-preservation is the top priority, and kill the Qin army more! If you can't stop it, let it go! We are just harassing, not fighting for life!" Yu Wencheng is very smart, he does not want to fight for his life with a desperate enemy.

In particular, there are only 3000 Suanni cavalry, and the Qin army still has tens of thousands of cavalry, which is difficult to deal with.

"Yuwen Chengdu, let me, Cao Hong, meet you!" Cao Hong rushed towards Yuwen Chengdu with more than a dozen guards, ready to force him back.

Seeing that Cao Hong was so excited, Yu Wencheng also became interested, and rushed towards Cao Hong head-on.

"My lord, let's go, I'll hold Yuwen Chengdu!" Xu Chu also roared, holding his sword and riding his horse towards Yuwen Chengdu, slashing with brute force.

boom!
Yu Wencheng's arms were slightly numb from the shock, and it was really a bit of pressure for the weapons of six or seven people to meet his own phoenix wings.

Cao Hong and Xu Chu were ecstatic when they saw that Yuwen Chengdu was slightly suppressed, and they fought harder.

Bang!
Yu Wencheng raised his arms vigorously and directly bounced off the enemy's weapon.

"Brothers, let it go!" Seeing that the soldiers of Qin State were desperate, Yu Wencheng immediately ordered the water to be released.

Every soldier of Suanni Iron Cavalry is like an elite trained by the imperial court after spending a lot of money. It's not worth it if you exchange your life with these defeated people!

Cao Hong and Xu Chu were overjoyed when they saw that the Suanni cavalry had backed down, and hurriedly led their troops to break through.

It took less than a cup of tea, the soldiers of the Qin army broke out of the encirclement and headed towards Baishuiguan at high speed.

The Suanni iron cavalry chased after them, but they didn't rush forward to attack.Just kill some soldiers of the Qin State who run slowly, and at the same time shoot arrows to kill the Qin army in the back row.

The casualties caused were not large, but before Baishui Pass was passed, three or four thousand Qin soldiers were left behind.

In Baishuiguan, Cao Cao almost fell off his horse, and finally heaved a sigh of relief.

"Baishuiguan, finally arrived! Hey! Including the Qiang people, this time they sent more than [-] troops, which is actually half of the loss. However, with [-] troops joining the Xincheng battlefield, I want to see what Han Wu is doing to guard Hongnong! Changed from Chengdu Hongnong, it's worth it!" Cao Cao comforted himself, but he knew that it was almost impossible to defeat Hongnong.

After Xi Zhicai and Li Ru looked at each other, they nodded, with the same strategy in mind.

"Your Majesty, I have a plan to check and balance Han Wu. It's just that... this will put your Majesty in a treacherous place, and I'm afraid that the literati in the world will criticize him with words and pens." Xi Zhicai asked.

Cao Cao was curious, and smiled boldly: "Hahaha! Lonely Cao Mengde, when did he care about other people's opinions? The world has misunderstood me Cao Mengde, so what can we do? Tell me, what plan!"

Seeing Cao Cao's demeanor, Li Ru was very satisfied, and said with a sneer, "A surprise attack on Chu State! Occupy the land of Chu State, and resist Han Wu in the west! In this way, Wuxi Man and Nan Man can become a border defense army, but Resist Jin for several years."

Cao Cao was taken aback by Li Ru's words. This is a good strategy!
