Chapter 260 Chasing? Anti-chasing
At the third hour of Hai, Cao Cao had not yet gone to bed.
He sat in the Dingtao County government office. The desk in front of him was filled with bamboo slips and books left by the Emperor of War when he left, but there were full of counselors and military generals in the hall.
Cao Cao casually opened a bamboo slip, which were all recorded by some daily records of the Reform Emperor. Although the pen tip was a bit immature, the comments above included many old-fashioned and conspiring words and some things that made people shine. This Reform Emperor can be regarded as the leader of the reincarnation, but unfortunately he was born at the wrong time!
Cao Cao sighed and swept Cao Chun in the hall: "Zihe, have the traces of the pseudo-emperor, Lu Bu and others seen?"
Cao Chun stood up and held his fists, saying with confidence: "Report to the lord, the scouts and Seizure sent by the last general did not show the sign of the pseudo-emperor. However, according to the people in the villages near Hezhou City, the pseudo-emperor and a group of ministers in the city have followed Lu Bu's army towards Juyang!"
"Juyang?" Cao Cao raised his head in surprise and raised his eyebrows.
Cheng Yu had already stood up and walked up to him: "Lord, dozens of people speak all the words, and the weak minister believes that these people have not lie. But the words of the people are often on the surface of the matter, and they cannot grasp the core of the facts, and it is not worth taking advantage of it."
"Zhongde's implication is that Emperor Weixin fled north of Dingtao with great fanfare, to hide the world and escape from the sea?" Cao Cao threw down the bamboo slips in his hand and walked slowly into the lobby.
Cheng Yu nodded and continued, "That's right! The people just saw the army heading towards Juyang. Juyang is north of Dingtao, but there is more than one Juyang north of Dingtao. Chengyang and Lihu are also north of Dingtao. Moreover, if Dingtao goes to Chengshi and Chenliujiyang, you must also go north for more than ten miles first and then turn east and west!"
Cao Cao frowned slightly: "Then where do you think they should have fled?"
"Everything is possible! But the specific escape route depends on the future plans and plans of the Restoration Emperor." Cheng Yu shook his head and continued, "If the Restoration Emperor wants to do his own strength and no longer be controlled by others, then Jiyang is the choice.
But if the Emperor of Reformation intends to surrender to Yuan Shao, then it is possible for Lihu, Chengyang and Juyang to all three places. Similarly, if the Emperor of Reformation intends to burn his boats to the lord, Chengshi must be on guard!"
Yes, Zhongde's analysis is indeed comprehensive. It seems that to further determine the whereabouts of the Reform Emperor, there are only more scouts to send!
Cao Cao nodded, and was about to dispatch troops when he suddenly saw a personal guard rushing to the hall: "Report to the lord, Zhang Xiu, under General Xiahou's command, is asking for a meeting!"
"Tell him in!"
Without waiting for the call of his personal guards, Zhang Xiu had already stepped in and walked into the hall to bow from afar. “You will report to the lord, the last general is hereby orders from the military advisor and General Xiahou, and come to ask for help!”
Humph, Juyang! It seems that Lu Bu really went to Juyang. He clearly planned to go straight to Jizhou through Juancheng and join forces with Yuan Shao. However, since the trace of this guy was clear, I am afraid that this guy would not be able to sing a one-man show in the next big show!
Cao Cao and Cheng Yu looked at each other and smiled and said, "Youwei, but Lu Bu is urging his troops to Juyang, you can't resist? The style you used to be in Mengjindu. This general often thinks, is it difficult to compete with those three family slaves with your bravery?"
Zhang Xiu nodded in shame, shook his head and said, "Lord, the army of the Reform Emperor has indeed gone to Juyang. However, the leader of my general under Juyang City is not the slaves of the three surnames, but Zhang Miao!"
"Zhang Miao?"
"It's Zhang Miao!" After taking the water handed over by Cao Cao, Zhang Xiu nodded gratefully and drank it all, "In Shen Shishi, Lu Bu's army divided into three groups, and at the same time attacked me, Juyang, Chengyang and Chengshi.
Juyang
There were General Xiahou and I, General Xiao and Wenlie in Chengyang, while Cheng family only had Shi Gong Liu and Dong Gongren. Moreover, Lu Bu did not appear under my Juyang. The military advisor was worried that Cheng family would be difficult for him and was taken advantage of by Lu Bu. Therefore, he ordered the last general to come and ask for help from the lord!"
Did this Reform Emperor give up on himself, or did he really have the determination to make a desperate bet and burn his boats? He actually dared to directly rush his troops to my Cheng family base camp?
Cao Cao was suddenly shocked and walked to the hall. The green sword in his waist suddenly came out of the sheath and slashed on the desk: "Register: Cao Chun, Zhong Yao led 5,000 elite soldiers to control Dingtao, Lu Qian, Han Hao led 5,000 troops to take Juyang, Zhao Yan, Niu Jin led 5,000 troops to attack Chengyang.
The rest of the people took Xiahou Dun as the vanguard, Cheng Yu, Man Chong, Cao Hong, Yu Jin, Chang Xi, and Dian Wei as the central army followed the general to Chengshi. In the last battle of Chengwu, Lu Bu asked that Han Qi to be a scapegoat. This time, it is necessary to annihilate Lu Bu's army under Chengshi!"
"promise!"
...
The war is the most important god. At the moment, Cao Cao's army had already rushed to the east, but the three cities of Juyang, Chengyang and Cheng clan were already quiet. Only the arrow marks on the walls and the burning burned reminded everyone that a great battle had just been experienced here.
There is no moon tonight, and Miss Chang'e has been yawning in the clouds. Zhang Miao, Zhang and Lu Bu have withdrawn from the area they see in the city at the time of the time, disappearing or hiding in the dark night as thick as ink.
Cao Hong of Chengyang and Shi Huan of Cheng family both dared not pursue him, but Xiahou Yuan kept Liu Ye's instructions in mind and fell behind Zhang Miao's army from afar.
"General, the neck of Lihu County is more than ten miles ahead. If we don't attack again, I'm afraid that the old thief Zhang Miao will escape again and the cooked duck will fly again!" Looking at Zhang Miao's army in front of me, a deputy general approached Xiahou Yuan and whispered.
Humph! Want to escape? Did Zhang Miao, the birdman, have wings?
Xiahou Yuan nodded, tightened the Hanyue Knife in his hand, patted the war horse under his crotch and let out a long roar: "Brothers, there is the Zhang Miao Dog Thief ahead. This dog thief betrayed his lord and violated our territory repeatedly. Today we will kill this thief on the horse! Brothers, kill!"
The horse's hooves rolled, and the wind cut the surface. The horse's herd trampled on the ground frantically and wantonly, and the journey of several miles was speeding backwards under the horse's hooves.
"Xiahou Yuan is catching up with him!"
"Escape quickly!"
Before the war horses arrived, Zhang Miao's army was in chaos. The soldiers behind the opponent howled like wolves, running forward without any hesitation, and the supplies and food were scattered all over the ground.
Humph, Zhang Miao Dog Thief, where can you escape today?
"kill!"
Listening to the noise coming from the front and looking at the vaguely chaotic team ahead, Xiahou Yuan shouted angrily, and the troops whipped the horse whip in their hands. The horses under him neighed and walked around the supplies and food on the road, stepped onto the flat road, and ran more happily.
After about seven or eight hundred meters of travel, the knights had left the supplies and food on the roads far behind, and Zhang Miao's army was just one arrow away.
Xiahou Yuan seemed to have seen Zhang Miaoshu's situation, and the soldiers under his command also seemed to have seen military achievements dripping with blood.
"boom!"
With a cannon, a group of people and horses spun out from the forests on both sides of the road, with strict discipline and murderous aura. For two generals, a seven-foot phoenix-mouthed sword and a square-tian painting halberd danced in the air, making it chirping, and it was Zhang and Lu Bu.
"Xiahou Yuan, come here!"
Lu Bu's tongue blooms with spring thunder, and the red rabbit and horse rushed to Xiahou Yuan like lightning. The Fangtian painting halberd in his hand soared into the sky.
Then he fell heavily and slammed on the Hanyue Sword. The light splashed everywhere. Xiahou Yuan staggered immediately and quickly took a step back before he removed the ten thousand pounds of force brought by the Fang Tian Painting Ji.
"kill!"
Zhang Miao in front suddenly pulled his horse's head and rushed to the pursuers behind him with his brothers. There were no arrows on both sides of the ambush, but the ones that were more ruthless were swords, shields, swords and blood.
Xiahou Yuan and his deputy generals had been dragged down by the brothers Lu Bu and Zhang Miao. The cavalry in Jiuzhou who were originally astonishing as the thunder, instantly lost their backbone. A pair of sharp long swords and blood-drinking iron swords came from the torrent of iron armor around them.
The poor cavalry of Cao's camp had changed their offensive and defensive momentum in just a blink of an eye.
They were separated from the formation of Beilianzhu, holding guns and swans, and were separated by swords, like cattle and sheep to be slaughtered in clusters of fences. Of course, they were not only separated from them by their robes, brothers, but also their limbs and heads.
The sword light and the sword rain, and the flesh and blood flew everywhere.
Lu Bu and Zhang Miao, the soldiers under Zhang, tirelessly waved the sharp blade in their hands, and looked at the cavalry who had chased for half a night in front of them, and were full of anger. The white knife came in and the red knife came out. The bright red blood flowed down the sharp edge of his hand, soaking the wild flowers on the roadside and soaking the earth under his feet.
Lu Bu and Xiahou Yuan were fighting with each other, and the red rabbit and the red horse under their crotch were spinning in circles. The Fangtian Painted Gaulle and the Hanyue Knife in their hands burst out with dazzling stars every time they collided.
Zhang Miao and Zhang Ze calmly waved the sharp weapon in their hands toward Deputy General Xiahou Yuan. The situation was like a master feeding tricks with his disciples, which was particularly relaxed and also very freehand.
Hearing screams beside him, Xiahou Yuan was about to break his grief, and a long roar, his arms, which were gradually exhausted, seemed to suddenly break away from some shackles, and a ray of power of nine oxen and two tigers suddenly poured into his arms. The Han Yue Knife suddenly raised its head and split the Fangtian Painted Rider pressing on top of his head.
"Walk!"
Xiahou Yuan leaped his horse, and Han Yue's sword swung along with the trend, swept the phoenix-mouthed sword in Zhang and Zhang Miao's hands, roared at the two deputy generals, pulled out the horse and ran towards the way.
...
When the shouts of killing behind him gradually became unheard, everyone had already fled for seven or eight miles. Xiahou Yuan was riding on the horse and was speechless for a moment, and the two deputy generals silently counted the remaining troops under his command.
In the end, there were only more than 2,000 cavalrymen gathered under the flag. This battle actually damaged a total of six stops. The injured soldiers supported each other, leaning on the sharp weapon in their hands, watching the three generals in tears, feeling like "holding hands and tearful eyes, and they were speechless and choking."
Unfortunately, this taste was not what they hoped for, nor was it what they should enjoy. They just wanted to hunt down military achievements and chase the evil thief who betrayed his lord, but unexpectedly they became the ones who were chased in the end.
Hunters and prey often interchange identities inadvertently, and they change from hunters to prey!
"Let's go!"
After looking at Li Hu's direction hatefully, Xiahou Yuan shook his nude arms, sighed slightly, gently clamped his legs, and walked to the front of the formation.
"boom!"
A thunderous cannon angle sounded in front of him again, just like a big fish thrown into a pot of boiling boiling water, and boiling water splashed everywhere. A large group of crows panicked and screamed "quack" and soared into the air from the forest. The soldiers raised their heads one after another, leaning back to their backs. The "crawler" in their hands turned into a sharp weapon again, looking at the avenue ahead in horror.
