Watching Cao Cao withdraw,

Zhang Xiu knew that he could not catch Cao Cao, so he was not in a hurry and waited for Zhao Yun's reinforcements to arrive.

About a quarter of an hour, Zhao Yun came from the north in five hundred cavalry. The hundreds of tiger guards left by Cao Cao were all strong and powerful, holding their shields to resist.

Even if it is attacked on both sides, it is difficult to break for a while.

After a long time, after slaughtering all the three hundred tiger guards, Zhang Xiu curled his lips and killed these tiger guards, which made Cao Cao feel hurt.

After looking at the direction of Cao Cao's escape, Zhang Xiu pointed his gun to the north and shouted: "Cao Cao is dead, the three armies will follow me to kill!"

After the words fell, Zhang Xiu led the iron cavalry and roared away. The soldiers of the three armies kept shouting that Cao Cao was dead, which also made the Cao soldiers in the camp lose all their fighting intentions, and either fled or surrendered.

But it is a pity that only thousands of iron cavalry can hardly cause more damage in a short period of time. Even if they are divided into dozens of cavalry teams, they will only win thousands of soldiers that night.

Fortunately, Cao Cao was in a mess and kept the food and supplies of the camp. These are good things, which can be worth a lot of money, and they will not be in vain.

......

It's bright,

At the intersection of Liran, there are gun and shield formations arranged in full swing.

There are hills on both sides of this passage, and countless crossbows are buried on the hills to prevent Zhang Xiu from chasing him.

However, Zhang Xiujun only blocked his death for more than ten miles and did not pursue him deeply.

As for the road entrance, countless soldiers were still in shock. Fortunately, they ran fast, otherwise they might have died.

Cao Cao looked a little tired. Looking at the group of soldiers returning from his arms, he couldn't help but take a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Cao Ren, how many of the three armies have returned?"

"Return to the lord, most of them have returned, and more than 8,000 people have not returned. I think some have become deserters, but most of them have been killed by Zhang Xiu." Cao Ren replied with his fists.

Cao Cao closed his eyes and felt his head cramps. After a long time, he said in a deep voice: "Go, send orders to the three armies to retreat to Peng State and rest and wait for battle."

"Lord, Xia Pi has been besieged for several months. Isn't it that all the previous efforts are wasted?" Cao Ren frowned and was a little angry.

"What's more, Zhang Xiu's only iron cavalry is here, and he comes from afar. If our army takes steady steps, Zhang Xiu will not win, but Xuzhou will be able to settle."

"Retreat, the soldiers of the three armies are already exhausted, not to mention that they will enter the cold winter in half a month and cannot stay for a long time." Cao Cao's expression was also lonely, just a little bit.

"No!" Cao Ren responded angrily.

Looking at Cao Ren's leaving figure, Cao Cao's eyes were cold. Zhang Xiu could protect Lu Bu for a while, but he would not be able to protect Lu Bu for the rest of his life. He retreated to Pengcheng and conquer Xuzhou again the next year.

......

The former Cao army camp,

The iron cavalry under Zhang Xiu began to clean the battlefield.

At the same time, Zhang Xiu also ordered Hu Cheer to take a cavalry upstream to block the river embankment.

The burning of Nandaying is no longer available, and there is no damage to the Central Army Camp and Beidaying. Zhang Xiu is preparing to temporarily garrison the three armies in this camp.

At this time, Zhang Xiu comforted the wounded soldiers under his command.

In this battle, hundreds of knights and nearly a hundred personal guards were damaged under Zhang Xiu's command.

Zhao Yun walked over quickly and said excitedly: "Lord, in this battle, nearly 5,000 Cao soldiers were killed, more than 2,000 surrendered, countless supplies were seized, and more than 50,000 hu of food and grass were sold."

"Now Cao's army has retreated to Pengcheng, but judging by Cao Cao's intention, he did not want to give up Xuzhou. He probably wanted to stay with Pengguo again in the future."

Zhang Xiu nodded. As long as Cao Cao did not take Xuzhou this year, it would be fine. Hebei region itself would not have any influence. I think Yuan Shao would go south in the fourth year of Jian'an, just like in history.

"If Yang Xing takes good care of the surrendered soldiers, he still has to rely on them to transport these supplies. As for the food and grass..." Speaking of this, Zhang Xiu looked at Lu Lingqi on one side.

Lu Lingqi lowered her head, her face a little dazed, as if she had been like this since she won last night. Logically, she should have gone to Xia Pi as soon as possible.

But then again, it is logical that Lu Bu should have arrived, so he has to find Lu Bu to cash in on these foods. He has worked hard to come to provide assistance, but after all, he has to exchange for more than a thousand war horses.

Just as Zhang Xiu was talking, the personal guards quickly walked over and said in a deep voice: "Lord, please pay a visit to Lu Bu outside the village."

"Ha, is the master finally here?" Zhang Xiu smiled heartily, then waved his hand and chuckled, "Let's go, and meet this world's number one general."

Not long after, the camp.

Not far away, Lu Bu was wearing a strong armor, a hair crown, a red rabbit under his crotch, and a square halberd in his hand. With his nine-foot figure, it was really daunting.

The key is that the invisible momentum of Lu Bu released in Lu Bu is enough to win the fear of ordinary generals, so he is worthy of being the number one strong general in the world.

On one side, Zhao Yun frowned slightly.

He almost instinctively felt the oppression on Lu Bu's body. This was cultivated from the sea of ​​corpses and blood. I'm afraid that there are no thousand or eight hundred dead souls under the halberd.

Lu Bu turned over and dismounted and said cheerfully: "Youwei, this time it is really thanks to you to rescue the siege, otherwise Bu will be in danger and Xia Pi City will be in danger."

After saying that, he looked at Lu Lingqi who was bowing his head and laughed and shouted, "Lingqi, why? How long hasn't seen his father for so long, and he pretended not to know him?"

Lu Lingqi raised her head and replied, feeling a little daughter-in-law. This is not like her own daughter's style. Could it be because of marriage, or was Zhang Xiu bullying her?

"Lingqi, come here and have a good look at you." Lu Bu smiled heartily and joked: "Don't worry, if Zhang Xiu dares to bully you, Dad will definitely make the decision for you."

"Uh!" Zhang Xiu's face collapsed, and the words Lu Bu regarded himself as his son-in-law between the lines! His eyebrows all looked optimistic.

Grandma, I'm shorter for no reason.

No, I have to sleep with Diao Chan so that I will not be shorter.

Concerned about Lu Lingqi's words, Lu Bu turned a serious look and said in a deep voice: "Zhang Xiu, no matter what, I would like to thank you for your help from rushing thousands of miles to help me."

"Lingqi said that you have not married him yet. The ancient sayings about your parents' orders and matchmakers' words are worse than Youwei, you just got the marriage done in Xuzhou."

"Don't worry, I, Lu Bu, know that I, is not a prominent family, and Ling Qi can be my concubine. However, after you marry her, you must not neglect her, otherwise I, Lu Bu, will not let you go."

Zhang Xiu raised his eyebrows, quite surprised.

The hero Lu Bu of a generation was so concerned about Lu Lingqi, which surprised him a little. But it was too much to arrange the marriage now?

"Wen Hou is so serious. It is a privilege to marry the daughter of Hou Wen. But is it too rush to get married? It is better to choose a date for me..."

"Hey~, winter is coming soon, and it will be next year after a little delay. In this way, I will make the decision. Youwei, you will marry Lingqi and then return to Jingzhou."

"If you are worried about me, Lu Bu, then get married in this big village outside the city. How about it?" Lu Bu smiled heartily, with hope in his expression.

Lu Lingqi is considered a concern for him. If he could marry him to Zhang Xiu, he would have fulfilled his wish.

"Uh!" Zhang Xiu pursed his lips. He was not resistant to marriage. After all, marriage with Lu Bu was not harmful to him, not to mention that Cao Cao colluded with Sun Ce.

Seeing that Zhang Xiu did not refuse, Lu Bulang laughed, looked at the melancholy Lu Lingqi on one side, and immediately took a big fuss and said, "Since that's the case, the wedding date will be scheduled for three days, and it will be held with this Caoying Village."

"Wen Hou was joking. Cao's camp was simple. It would be better to drain all the waters of Xia Pi River first, and get married to the city of Xia Pi and marry Lingqi with a big fanfare."

Zhang Xiu smiled gently.
