The Invincible Summoning of the Three Kingdoms

Hearing Cao Cao's words, Sun Ce's face changed instantly. When he just received the news, he thought that Liu Rui had sent spies to provoke them, but at this moment, he saw with his own eyes that the messenger was dying without revealing anything. The flaws, this is what makes Sun Ce completely believe, but at this moment Sun Ce is still very puzzled and asked: "Since Liu Rui went to Liu Bei and Lu Bu, who is the army that has been threatening to attack us? Will Liu Rui be able to spread beans and become a soldier?"

Hearing Sun Ce's words, Cao Cao let out a long sigh, and then said, "Bo Fu, we've got a plan!"

"Middle plan?" Sun Ce was stunned, vaguely, as if he understood Cao Cao's words.

"General Sun, the army outside us is probably not Liu Rui's army, but the insurgent army of Gao Shun!" Xi Zhicai on the side cupped his hands and said, after a pause, he said helplessly again: "Then Liu Rui knew that we wanted to withdraw our troops wholeheartedly and never dared to entangle with his army, so he kept attacking us at the beginning, making us misunderstood, and in the end, he Liu Rui came to replace the prince with a civet cat and led the troops by himself. Go sneak attack on Liu Xuande and Lu Fengxian, but Gao Shun's uprising army, pretending to be Liu Rui's elite soldiers, is constantly threatening us here!"

"Liu Haosheng! You are so cunning!" Sun Ce couldn't help roaring, thinking about what happened during this period of time, isn't it just as Xi Zhicai said, this Liu Rui, not only deceived them , and fooling them like this... But he, Sun Ce and Cao Cao, didn't find anything.

But now, even if Liu Rui's strategy is exposed, Cao Cao and Sun Ce are in a dilemma.

"Bo Fu, why don't we withdraw!" Cao Cao sighed and said. , , .

761: Chasing Troops Arrive

"Withdraw the army?" Sun Ce was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but feel a sense of absurdity in his heart.They were withdrawing from the army!It's just that the rotation withdrawal plan formulated by the five previous advisors was broken by Liu Rui so easily!

Originally, Sun Ce had already made preparations in his heart. After he broke off the camp with Cao Cao, he just wanted to let all the princes and horses return to their own territory safe and sound, so that even if they were defeated this time, the princes would be able to protect themselves in the future. In the future, we will be able to unite and continue to fight with Liu Rui.

Unexpectedly, this plan that Cao Cao, Liu Bei and others were full of praise for was so easily cracked by Liu Rui.

Thinking of this, Sun Ce only felt stuffy in his heart, and couldn't help but said, "Meng De, if you have a good solution now, just say it!"

"How? Is there any other way?" Cao Cao shook his head helplessly, then looked directly into Sun Ce's eyes, and said, "It depends on which one of you and I can escape faster, and who can escape. Faster, whoever has fewer dead will be able to escape!"

"This...this..." Sun Ce looked at Cao Cao speechlessly. Is this what Cao Cao said about withdrawing troops?Subconsciously, Sun Ce looked at Xi Zhicai next to him and asked, "Zhi Cai, you are Meng De's think tank, can you do anything better?"

Xi Zhicai shook his head helplessly, and then sighed: "General Sun, the only way we can now is to take advantage of the fact that Liu Rui's main army has not returned, and take all the time to escape!"

Sun Ce was stunned, and instantly understood what Xi Zhicai meant.Now Liu Rui should still be chasing Liu Bei and Lu Bu, and there are a lot of troops from those two princes. Even with Liu Rui's troops, it may be a bit unrealistic to want to eliminate the two men and horses in a period of time.

Therefore, the retreat that Cao Cao said was to race against Liu Rui's army to see if Liu Rui's army came back first, or if his Sun Ce and Cao Cao's men and horses were the first to come out.

Thinking of this, Sun Ce nodded heavily and said, "Okay! Brother Meng De, let's get out now!"

Cao Cao also nodded heavily, then turned to Sun Ce and said, "Bo Fu, I can't share weal and woe with you this time, we can see you again in the future!"

"We must see you again!" Sun Ce also nodded heavily. He naturally knew that the current situation was urgent. When he didn't say anything, he hurriedly walked outside.

It didn't take long for Cao Cao's men and Sun Ce's men to split into two parts, fleeing frantically toward the north and south.

This scene naturally made Gao Shun see it clearly, but now Gao Shun only has some rebels in his hands. Even if he wanted to stop it, there was nothing he could do, so Gao Shun had no choice but to tell the news. Liu Rui, who was still fighting, was passed on, and he wanted Liu Rui to lead his men to intercept it as soon as possible.

It's just that Liu Rui's battle in front of him did not end so quickly. In the end, Liu Rui could only dispatch part of his cavalry. He wanted to catch up with Cao Cao and Sun Ce through long-distance raids, and he could use cavalry troops to hold them back. People, and then led a large army back to surround.

However, during the escape this time, the troops of Cao Cao and Sun Ce were fleeing day and night.Furthermore, the direction of the two is exactly opposite, and Liu Rui's army is now in the east again. At this moment, Liu Rui really feels that there is no way to do surgery.Lazy people listen to the book www.lanren9.com

However, this time the battle completely crippled Liu Bei and Lu Bu, especially Lu Bu. Although Zhao Yun failed to encircle and kill Lu Bu, he wiped out all of Lu Bu's troops, leaving Lu Bu alone. After fleeing back to Xuzhou, I am afraid that he will only become the target of annexation by other princes.

Although Liu Bei escaped, his general Guan Yu was defeated by Liu Rui and captured alive. From now on, Zhang Fei was the only one left under Liu Bei's command.If they meet in the future, Liu Bei will naturally be no match for Liu Rui.

On the other hand, Cao Cao crossed all the way along the north and could not escape. On the way, Cao Cao did not dare to drink even a sip of water, so he ordered his subordinates to run wildly without stopping, and fled in the northeast direction.

Such a life-threatening escape, even Cao Cao, who has been fighting abroad all year round, can't bear it, let alone other people.For example, Jia Xu and Xi Zhicai, who were beside Cao Cao, were too tired to speak.Generals such as Xiahou Dun are now panting heavily.

It was also at this time that a personal soldier in front of Cao Cao suddenly fell to the ground without saying a word, his eyes were tightly closed, foaming at the mouth, and he was unconscious!

"My lord! If we don't rest, I'm afraid..." Xiahou Dun, who was on the side, was gasping for breath, and after a long time, he was a little decadent: "We have been marching all day, and the soldiers have long been drinking water. If it’s gone, if we don’t rest, I’m afraid our army will be completely finished!”

Cao Cao shook his head helplessly and said, "I am also hungry and thirsty. I have never suffered so much in my life, but if we don't leave now, Liu Rui's army will come. Do you think that with our army's current state? Strength, what can you use to stop Liu Rui's elite soldiers?"

Xiahou Dun lowered his head speechlessly. As Cao Cao said, if Liu Rui's army were to kill him now, he would be able to clean up Cao Cao's army without needing too many troops.After all, in the midst of the successive journeys, Cao Jun had no morale, and even his combat power had already bottomed out.

However, Cao Cao frowned and looked at the countless soldiers around him. With a flash of light in his mind, he shouted, "Generals, are you thirsty?"

Countless Cao Cao soldiers had lost any strength. At this moment, when they heard Cao Cao's words, they all cheered up, and countless soldiers responded in unison: "Thirsty! I'm dying of thirst!"

Cao Cao's words made Xiahou Dun, Xi Zhicai, Jia Xu and others beside him puzzled. They followed behind Cao Cao every day, how would they know about these things.

Xiahou Dun still wanted to ask suspiciously, but Xi Zhicai and Jia Xu who were beside him hurriedly shook their heads to stop him, and instead looked at Cao Cao with some doubts.

But Cao Cao laughed, and then pointed to the front and said loudly: "There is a plum mountain in front of it, and it is full of plum forests. At that time, everyone can eat as much as they want!"

All the soldiers responded with a bang. They were now hungry and thirsty. When they heard that there were plums in front of them, they couldn't help but feel saliva. At this time, the speed of the entire army was once again improved.

Seeing the doubts on Xiahou Dun's face, Xi Zhicai on the side cheered up and said, "My lord's invitation to Mei to quench thirst is very high!" , . . .

762: Take control of Jingzhou

Xi Zhicai's words also made Xiahou Dun understand completely. At this moment, Cao Cao's army is exhausted, and the water that the soldiers are carrying has also been drained. go back.

But Cao Cao's move raised hope for all the soldiers. Compared with water sources, sour plums can quench their thirst.It is precisely because of Cao Cao's quest to quench their thirst, countless soldiers have raised their hopes, and even the originally tired and slow marching has involuntarily improved a bit.

When it was dark, Cao Cao's army finally found a river, which made Cao Cao ecstatic, but what Cao Cao never expected was that countless soldiers refused to drink water.

"My lord, where is Merlin? We want to eat fresh plums!"

"My lord, didn't you say there was Merlin? Take us to eat!"

Countless soldiers shouted in unison, and immediately made Cao Cao's head as big as a fight. How could he know where Merlin was, and immediately only black-faced and reprimanded the soldiers to quickly fetch and drink water.

It's just that Cao Cao's action has made countless soldiers discouraged. Even if there is water to drink now, the marching speed of the entire army is much slower.

After Cao Cao marched to the border of Jingzhou and Yuzhou, the whole army was rejoicing, but unexpectedly encountered the army of Li Ruohai who came to pursue.

At this moment, Cao's army is already exhausted, and although Li Ruohai's army is equally exhausted, it is one person and two horses, and the dry food and water sources they carry are even more abundant. It was damaged, but compared to Cao Jun, it was extremely strong.

The arrival of Li Cunxiao also made Cao Jun completely fall into the rout, and this scene made Cao Cao heartache.This march has already made Cao Cao exhausted many soldiers to death. Now Li Cunxiao has attacked, and immediately many soldiers fell in a pool of blood.
