Yuan Shu's army chased after them desperately, but Cao's army and Liu Bei's army, which had already been defeated, were defeated and fled.
Cao Cao heard the screams from behind. Although he was heartbroken, he didn't even dare to look back and ran away with everyone.
The same was true for Liu Bei on the other side. The soldiers he finally recruited were beaten and suffered heavy losses.
Waiting until daybreak, Zhang Xun saw that he couldn't catch up, so he ordered to withdraw his troops.
……
Cao Cao sat under a big tree and looked at the group of defeated soldiers in front of him. He felt so sad that he couldn't help but roar.
"Hateful!"
Why is this happening?
It was obviously possible to succeed, but it failed!
Game!
Haha, I thought that after entering the game, I would have advantages that no one else could match, but I never expected that in addition to Lu Bu'er, even Zhang Xun could enter the game!
For a while, Cao Cao felt a little disheartened!
If you can all enter the game, what advantages do you have?
Cao Ren stepped forward, raised his hands and said, "Lord, we have suffered heavy losses this time!"
Cao Cao sighed, "How many people are left?"
Cao Ren smiled bitterly and said, "Everyone is gathering the fleeing troops everywhere. So far, we have gathered 4,000 people. If there are no accidents, we should be able to reach 5,000 people!"
Hearing this number, Cao Cao felt like crying.
What a heavy loss!
Out of more than 10,000 troops, there are now only 5,000 left!
At this moment, a fast horse galloped from a distance.
"Report!"
"Lord, Liu Beijun is resting 15 miles away from here."
"Liu Bei?"
Cao Cao suddenly raised his head and looked at the spy who was delivering the message, "Did Liu Bei escape too?"
The spy nodded, "I also escaped, but suffered heavy losses. The remaining troops and horses are similar to our army, and I am afraid they have also lost more than half."
Cao Cao remembered that he and Liu Bei had been fighting for so long, but in the end, he was defeated by Zhang Xun at the same time. For a moment, he actually felt like brothers in distress.
Not long after, the generals of Cao's army gathered around Cao Cao, but no one spoke.
After a long time, Lu Qian suddenly said tentatively, "It was unbelievable that such a big fire was originally burned, but it was actually put out by them. It's really unbelievable!"
Cao Ren punched the tree in anger, "If the fire is not put out, our army will win this time."
Lu Qian nodded, "I'm just curious, what kind of thing is so powerful?"
Cao Cao waved his hand, "We'll talk about these things later. Let's think about what to do next, right?"
Le Jin stepped forward and said slowly, "Lord, our army has suffered heavy losses now and is no longer able to compete with the Huainan soldiers and horses. Why don't we wait until everyone has had a rest and then we take a detour back to the city. With the strength of the city wall, we can consume
The strength of Huainan’s soldiers and horses."
Cao Cao also knew that this was the only way, and nodded, "Okay, let everyone take a rest first, and then we will take a detour back."
Lu Qian suddenly said, "Lord, our army has suffered heavy losses. Even if we retreat to the city, it will be very dangerous.
Liu Bei is not far from us, why don't we go and join forces with them, so that we can increase our strength?"
Hearing this, Cheng Yu hurriedly waved his hand, "Absolutely not. Our army has enmity with Liu Bei's army. Now is the time when our army is weak. If they have evil intentions, it may be detrimental to our army!"
At this moment, a spy came flying from a distance.
"Report!"
"Lord, Liu Bei's army has stopped resting and is leading his troops towards this direction. It seems he wants to join us."
When everyone heard these words, they were shocked and turned to look at Cao Cao.
Cao Cao frowned, turned to look at the spies, and asked slowly, "Have all Liu Bei's troops arrived?"
The spy nodded, "All the soldiers and horses are coming."
Cao Cao frowned and thought for a while, then said to everyone, "No matter what Liu Bei's intention is, we have to be on guard. We are all lying in wait in the woods on both sides. If anything happens, we will rush out immediately to catch them off guard."
Upon hearing this, everyone held their hands and immediately led their troops to hide in the woods.
Cao Cao turned his head and looked at the direction Liu Beijun came from and murmured.
"Liu Bei, do you really want to unite with me, or are you being treacherous?"
……
A group of thousands of soldiers and horses were running on the path. It was the soldiers and horses led by Liu Bei, rushing towards the place where Cao Cao rested.
Liu Bei was walking in the middle, with a cold look in his eyes.
Although he was defeated this time, Liu Bei still did not change his mind.
Through the introduction of players in the game, he already knew that although Cao Cao was one of the overlords of the Three Kingdoms, he was the strongest. The Wei State he established eventually destroyed Shu and Wu.
Therefore, in Liu Bei's mind, Cao Cao is always his enemy.
As for the Huainan soldiers and horses, although they won, Liu Bei already knew Yuan Shu's character, and even knew that although his troops and horses were strong now, he would probably disappear before long.
Therefore, in Liu Bei's view, the biggest enemy right now is Cao Cao.
Liu Bei also had an idea in his mind that outsiders didn't know. He knew the direction of history, and he also knew that he eventually established the Kingdom of Shu.
His plan was to kill Cao Cao in smoke, and then immediately rush to Jingzhou to find Zhuge Liang.
After finding Zhuge Liang, he began to enter Sichuan and deploy his Shu Kingdom in advance.
Liu Bei couldn't stay in Xuzhou anymore, but he didn't want Cao Cao to stay here. Even if the elements occupied Xuzhou, he would not leave Cao Cao behind.
Cao Cao has always been his biggest enemy, so even if he wants to leave, he must wait until Cao Cao is killed.
With a worried look on his face, Jian Yong came to Liu Bei's side and said in a low voice, "Liu Shijun, do you still decide to take action?"
Liu Bei hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "That's right."
Jian Yong frowned, "But if Cao Mengde is eliminated, Xuzhou will be occupied by Huainan's troops. By then, Yuan Shu's strength will be stronger, and won't the army be more dangerous?"
Liu Bei looked at Jian Yong and knew that although his plan was not effective, he was always loyal to him, so he decided not to hide it anymore, and said slowly.
"Xianhe, as long as we destroy Cao Mengde this time, we will leave Xuzhou immediately and never come back. Who cares who captures Xuzhou and what they do?"
"Leave?"
Jian Yong was shocked when he heard these words, "Liu Shijun, if we leave Xuzhou, where can we go? You have to think twice before we act!"
Liu Bei smiled slightly and said, "Xianhe, don't worry, I'll be there soon."
Jian Yong frowned when he saw that Liu Bei didn't say anything clearly, "Liu Shijun, please think twice before you act, and never act rashly."
Liu Bei nodded, "Xianhe, thank you for your advice."
