Cao Cao ran in person, and soon gathered the scattered and panicked army together again.

"The whole army clamoured and yelled to strengthen the army. At the same time, they retreated backward, retreated into the darkness, and then retreated to the south."

At his command, the Cao army soon followed suit. The Han Army on the wall, who were preparing to continue firing catapults, could only hear Cao's roar, but could only see a large dark shadow under the starlight. It was difficult to tell how many enemy troops there were.

However, shortly after Cao's army began to retreat, the East showed a fish belly white. Although the earth was still dark, the light was close at hand.

In view of this, Cao Cao became more and more anxious, and immediately ordered to speed up the March. Otherwise, when the Han Army in the city slowed down and went out of the city to pursue and kill, he would have left his life here.

He had just retreated to the south of Chenliu city more than ten miles away, and suddenly there were bursts of footsteps behind him, which made everyone's tight heart strings suddenly tight.

"Did the Han army come so soon? This is troublesome. "

Cao Cao exclaimed in his heart.

At this time, behind the inexplicable came two shouts.

"Father..."

"Uncle Wait a minute... "

Cao Cao only felt that the two voices were very familiar, so he looked back in a hurry, which surprised him.

"Zixiu and Anmin, have you escaped?"

These two men are cao'ang, Cao Zixiu, Cao Cao's eldest son, and Cao De's eldest son, Cao De, Cao Cao's nephew.

Both of them were originally trained in XiaHouYuan's army. Last night, they were sent to the city to guard the Han Army's captives in the camp outside the west gate. Cao Cao thought that they must have been poisoned. It was heartache. Now he was overjoyed to see them return safely.

The two men were the same. They ran to Cao Cao and wept with joy.

"OK, I'll be fine."

He comforted Cao Anmin's head: "if you miss something, how can I explain it to my brother? Just come back, just come back. "

Cao ang saw that Cao Cao and others were all walking, and immediately led his own horses.

"And ask my father to ride on my horse."

Cao Cao quickly retreated: "how can this be done? If my son can break through from the Han Army, he must have gone through a lot of hardships. It's better for you to keep the horses on your own. "

He looked at the bloodstains on both of them, and his heart ached.

Cao ang insisted on asking him to mount the horse: "the so-called filial piety is the first thing. How can a son ride a horse and make his father walk on the side?"

Cheng Yu looked at Cao ang and nodded frequently, as if satisfied.

"Lord, if the eldest son has such filial piety, he doesn't have to retreat. Otherwise, isn't he going to trap him in the place of unfilial

When Cao Cao saw that he said so, he had to listen to him and got on his horse.

"By the way, how many soldiers have you two taken to break through?"

Cao ang could not help but show shame: "report back to my father, I and I Only less than 8000 soldiers were brought out, and more than 3000 of them were wounded The rest of the 30000 plus troops are no longer dead or demoted... "

Cao Shu knelt down on his knees: "it's all my nephew's incompetence. When we broke through, we had more than ten thousand troops. It was my nephew who went back to the army to rescue one of the army's commanders, which caused more than 2000 soldiers to be damaged. Please punish your uncle!"

Cao Cao helped them up, his face moving.

"In our army's plan, Yuan rang and Miao Cai were all in the enemy's hands. Even I could hardly escape. You two not only succeeded in breaking through the encirclement, but also brought out 8000 soldiers. This is a great achievement. Why should we be held responsible? Please get up quickly, and follow me back to the city of our headquarters, and we will fight again in the future. "

Thank you, father

"Thank you, uncle!"

Cao Cao looked at the two men, his eyes full of joy: "I have children like this, why worry about the family can not prosper? It's not worth mentioning that we just lost. "

"Woo Wuwuwu... "

In the distant city of Chen Liu, the sound of a trumpet rose to the sky. Even though it was ten miles away, Cao Cao and others could hear it clearly.

Cheng Yu's face changed: "my Lord, this is the clarion call of the Han Army's soldiers. Maybe they have found out the truth of our army and are about to come to pursue them."

Cao Cao whipped his whip: "March at full speed. Don't teach the enemy to catch up."

Cao's soldiers were scared to death. At the moment, they heard the bugle of the enemy coming from behind. They were all in the air for a while. At the command of Cao Cao, those soldiers did not need the general's supervision and command. They all jumped out like rabbits.

Above the South Gate of Chen Liu City, Gao Shun and several generals looked at the direction of Cao Jun from a distance. Although the sky was still unclear and could not see clearly, they all had a smile on their faces. Some of them even had a little teasing in their smiles. They all seemed to have watched with interest.

Deputy general Ge said to Gao Shun: "the general is really wise. He doesn't have to go out of the city. He just needs to blow the horn, and he can frighten Cao's army. He is really good."

General Huang, the commander of the pro guard, hesitated: "why don't our army really go out and capture the thief Cao and offer it to your majesty?"Gao Shun said with a calm look: "although the city is fixed, it is still restless outside the city. Besides, your majesty has been prepared for it, and it is difficult for Cao Cao to fly."

When he said this, although the generals felt sorry that they could not capture Cao Cao himself and make great achievements, they did not say anything more.

Cao Cao and others ran all the way, without stopping for half a moment, and no one looked back to see if there was any Han Army chasing after them. All they knew was to try their best to escape.

In this way, until noon, even though Cao Cao was riding, he felt very tired, and Cao's soldiers were all wet, panting and pale.

"Lord My Lord, look at the rear and There are no pursuers. We are still It's not too late to stop here and go on the road again... "

Xi Zhong holds a big tree and his legs are shaking.

Cao Cao was also thirsty and looked behind him. As expected, there was no sign of pursuing soldiers.

"Well, I think the Han Army has given up pursuit and ordered the whole army to rest on the spot."

He also got off the horse's back, and then helped Guo Jia to rest in the shade of a tree.

Among the other three counsellors, except Cheng Yu slightly frowned, the other two did not show any dissatisfaction. After all, of the four, although they were not military generals, they all cultivated their moral character. They practiced martial arts and swords. Only Guo Jia only studied and did not practice martial arts. Usually, he liked to stay in the streets of fireworks. Even though he was young, he was the weakest.

Several people sat together in the shade of a tree. Cao ang personally brought several water sacs to let everyone drink a few mouthfuls. After a few breaths, they felt more comfortable.

"I don't want this decisive battle of Chen Liu. Our army should be so defeated. Alas, it's all a mistake. I'm sorry for the officers and men of the three armies and all of you."

Cao Cao looked up at the sky and sighed.

Guo Jia said: "my Lord, you don't have to blame yourself. It's common for us to win or lose. Although our army has suffered a lot, even the counties in Yanzhou will be captured by Liu He. However, both the population and the grain and forage of Yuzhou are several times higher than those of Yanzhou. We hold on to the main road of Yanzhou's southward entry into Yuzhou and recruit new troops and horses. We still have the hope of revenge. "

"Yes, general Cao Ren is stationed in Xuzhou, and most of the population of Xuzhou is under the control of our army. The Lord used to calm the people's hearts, but he did not recruit for food in Xuzhou. Now that the people's will is settled, and the second is that our army is defeated, the Lord only needs to issue a recruitment notice. It is not expected that within a few months, he will be able to obtain more than 100000 troops."

Among the four great counsellors, Cheng Yu is the oldest, so he is the most calm in dealing with affairs and people. His words also let people see the hope.

"Lord..."

A soldier ran over and said, "my Lord, there is a man who calls himself the envoy of General Liang Xi. He has come to report."

"Liang Xi? He's still alive? " As soon as Cao Cao heard the name, his face was very surprised, and showed a bit of surprise.

Xi Zhong said: "the LORD sent General Liang to Liangzhou to ambush Zhang Yong's reinforcements. In terms of Chen Liu's situation, we thought that it would be difficult to succeed in this ambush. General Liang himself became a different person, but he did not want to die. Was the ambush successful?"

"If it can, it will be a great joy." Guo Jia points the way.

Cao Cao quickly called out: "quickly, quickly bring that man."
