I Am the Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

"Hmph, count them lucky." Zhang He said bitterly.

Although Zhu Huan and the others escaped, it can be considered that Zhang He and the others won.But Zhang He felt that he did not win, not a big victory, and he felt that it was not a victory.

"Let's go, go back, and see if Meng Qi is back." Taishi Ci said.

It was almost noon when Ma Chao came back with someone.

"Damn, that fellow Cao Ren escaped too fast." After returning, Ma Chao said very unhappily.

He chased him all night, but Cao Ren ran too fast for Ma Chao to catch up with him.

Then Ma Chao found out that Zhang He and Taishi Ci were both injured, and he said contemptuously: "Is this the case? You are all injured? Is that fellow Zhu Huan strong? If I had known, let me stay and take care of him."

"hateful!"

Zhang He was very upset. Although the injury was not serious, it made him very upset. There was no place to save his face.

"Don't underestimate Zhu Huan."

Taishi Ci said: "And Wei Yan and Ji Ling are not fuel-efficient lamps, so be careful when you see them in the future."

"I will make them look good in the future." Zhang He said bitterly.

"This battle is considered to be the completion of the task given to you by King Yan." Taishi Ci said to Zhang He.

Liu Zhe asked Zhang He to put some pressure on Cao Ren and Liu Bei. Although Cao Ren suffered a small loss in this battle, he also learned a lesson.

And Liu Bei's men suffered the most losses. Not to mention that all three generals were injured, most of their soldiers were also left behind.

"No." Zhang He shook his head.

"Why?" Taishi Ci couldn't help asking.

"I couldn't wipe them all out." Zhang He said very unhappily, it wasn't a big victory, he didn't think it was a victory. ..

2590 Three-way retreat

"It's alright."

Taishi Ci said: "Cao Ren fled in embarrassment. Liu Bei's men were seriously injured and his soldiers suffered heavy losses. King Yan must be very satisfied with this."

Zhang He shook his head and said gloomily, "Without your help, it would be very difficult for me to win."

Zhang He was frustrated. He was in the same position as Taishi Ci, Ma Chao, and the others. Without the help of Ma Chao and Taishi Ci, it would not have been easy for him to win this time, and he might even be attacked by Cao Ren and return with a big defeat.

It was Zhang He who came up with this plan with the help of Ma Chao Taishi Ci before. After Ji Ling attacked the grain road and burned the grain, the little grain left in General Zhang He was collected.

I just gave the other soldiers half a day's rations and asked them to retreat to Wuguan. At the same time, I asked Wuguan to quickly transport the food and grass, so that the distance between the two sides could be shortened by about two days. Even if the soldiers were hungry, they would still be hungry for about a day.

Let the ordinary soldiers retreat, leaving only [-] black-scale troops of the [-] black-scale army. The collected food and grass can support their [-] black-scale troops and war horses for about three days.

Zhang He and the others were sure that as long as they retreated here, Cao Ren would definitely catch up.

In fact, this was indeed the case. Cao Ren did bring people to catch up, but Cao Ren's actions were beyond Zhang He's expectations.

Cao Ren was actually able to suppress his inner impulse, but he was hanging far behind with people, causing pressure on Zhang He and the others, and he was always reluctant to take action.

Therefore, Zhang He had to lead a night attack on Liu Bei's army to force Cao Ren and the others to attack.

If Zhu Huan and the others were attacked, but Cao Ren still refused to take action, it would definitely make Zhu Huan and the others dissatisfied, thinking that Cao Ren was tricking them.

Cao Ren also knew this, so after Zhu Huan and the others were attacked, Cao Ren had to take action.

If they don't do it again, it will easily make Zhu Huan and the others dissatisfied, and it will affect the relationship between Cao Cao and Liu Bei in the future.

"It's a pity that Cao Ren ran away." Ma Chao said again.

Cao Ren ran too fast. He left most of the soldiers behind and asked them to stop Ma Chao's pursuit. Ma Chao could only kill some of the soldiers in the end, allowing Cao Ren to escape unharmed.

"I won't let him go." Zhang He gritted his teeth and said bitterly.

What a shame!

He actually suffered a loss in Cao Ren's hands and spread it out, which made him shameless.

Although he was injured, Zhang He was the main general, and his greatest responsibility was Zhang He.

"Go back to Wuguan first, tell King Yan what happened here, and let King Yan decide." Taishi Ci said to Zhang He.

Now is a good opportunity to pursue the victory, but unfortunately, they do not have enough food and grass in their hands, so they must return to Wuguan to repair it.

However, it is not bad to have such a result, at least a small victory over Cao Ren.

Soon, the results came out. It was indeed a small victory over Cao Ren. Of the [-] soldiers that Cao Ren brought, at least [-] stayed, and hundreds disappeared. Cao Ren was able to bring back ordinary soldiers. .

It was a small victory against Cao Ren, but they were a great victory against Zhu Huan. Zhu Huan's three thousand soldiers and horses, Ji Ling's thousand soldiers and horses, left at least three thousand soldiers.

The soldiers who followed them into the woods were less than three hundred, and many disappeared.Moreover, Zhu Huan, Wei Yan Jiling, and three others were also injured, which can be said to have suffered a big loss.

I believe this result will be heard by Liu Bei, and Liu Bei must cry.

After Zhang He brought his men back to Wuguan, after a two-day rest, Zhang He ignored Taishi Ci and Ma Chao's dissuasion, and again took [-] soldiers and horses out of Wuguan and headed straight for Cao Ren's camp.

However, Cao Ren had already retreated to Wancheng first, and Cao Ren also strengthened the defense of the city along the way, and moved the people from outside into the city.

If Zhang He wanted to attack these cities, he would suffer a lot.

In the end, Zhang He could only retreat in frustration.
