Cao Ren chased him all the way from Yecheng. He was going crazy. He was responsible for taking care of Long Fei, but under his nose, Long Fei ran away without a trace. Following Cao Cao for so many years, this has never happened before
If he couldn't catch Long Fei back, he would have no face to see Cao Cao again. According to his estimation, no matter which direction Long Fei went, his final goal was to return to Jingzhou, and the Yellow River was the only way for him to pass. Cao Ren was sure.
A little further, which place is closest to Jingzhou? Where is the most likely place for Long Feibian to cross the river.
Guandu is the crossing of the Yellow River that Long Fei is most familiar with. When Long Fei was here, Cao Cao's coalition forces defeated hundreds of thousands of Yuan Shao's troops. Guandu is also the closest crossing to Jingzhou. From here, you can cross the river and go to Xingyang, and Yiyang can bypass Yingzhou.
Chuan arrived at Wancheng. But Cao Ren was still worried. After all, the Yellow River was thousands of miles long and he could cross it anywhere, as long as Long Fei had the courage.
Cao Ren divided his troops into three parts. One part was stationed at Guandu, and the other two took Guandu as the dividing point. One part went up and one part went down to patrol. If any trace of Long Fei was found, he would report it immediately.
On this day, Cao Ren was scolding several patrolling captains in the courtyard. Cao Cao had given several orders to let him go back, but Cao Ren just didn't want to go back, so he didn't catch Long Fei, and his face went to
Where can I put it? Why not be laughed to death by those people? Even if Cao Cao doesn't deal with him, he will have no face to live anymore. He wrote several letters to Cao Cao with only one purpose, hoping that Cao Cao would give him a chance to redeem himself and make meritorious deeds.
A messenger suddenly broke in, rolling and crawling: "General, general, there is someone outside the city!"
"Oh? But Long Fei?" The first thought was wrong. Long Fei would not bring troops and horses to attack the city this night. Although Guandu is small, it can be considered a small city. Long Fei only needs three or four people to attack the city.
The messenger shook his head: "It's not Long Fei, it's General Cao Chun's messenger!"
After receiving the letter, Cao Ren opened it and read it. The letter read: Long Fei has not left Jizhou. He has already fought a battle with his thousand tiger and leopard cavalry and annihilated them. At the same time, he told Cao Ren that Long Fei had other men.
Five hundred soldiers and horses are already approaching the bank of the Yellow River. If Cao Ren encounters them, they must stop them and wait for him. Cao Ren hurriedly read them and was surprised in his heart!
Cao Ren knew very well what kind of soldiers and horses the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry were. Cao Cao had two "sharp blades", one of which was called the Qingzhou Soldier. When he defeated Kong Rong, Cao Cao took the opportunity to gather the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans and select their young and strong ones.
Military horses. For so many years, they have always been the trump card among infantry. In the Battle of Guandu, it was the strength of these Qingzhou soldiers that could withstand Yuan Shao's fierce attack. There is also a horse called the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, which belongs to Cao Cao
The elite cavalry are all the deadliest soldiers selected from thousands of miles. They are specially designed to deal with the cavalry in Hebei. During the conquest of Hebei, the tiger and leopard cavalry were invincible. Even Gongsun Zan's white horse followers met them.
Also stay away.
After reading the letter, Cao Ren loudly ordered: "Gather the troops immediately and go to the city to defend. If there is any abnormal movement, kill it first and report later!"
Xu Chu looked at the faint town of Guandu in the distance. The lights on the top of the city were bright, and it could be said that there were ten steps, one post, five steps and one sentry. The soldiers guarding the city stared at the bottom of the city with wide eyes. Teams of patrols walked back and forth,
He didn't seem to be sleepy at all, and he didn't know how many people there were in the city. Looking behind him, he saw that the more than a hundred wounded soldiers were all his belongings. It would definitely not work if he attacked the city, but how could he seize the ships without attacking the city.
Chen Dao pulled Xu Chu's sleeves and pointed to the shadows on the edge of Guandu City: "When we came here, we walked here too. I found that the city wall over there was somewhat damaged. If we can enter the city from there, the rest will be
That’s easy to say.”
"What's your plan?" Xu Chu asked quickly. When Chen Dao explained his plan, Xu Chu waved his hands repeatedly: "No! We don't know anything about the situation in the city. If there is an ambush, wouldn't we be in more danger? Absolutely not!"
"
Chen Dao said: "There is no time. If we can't get the ship as soon as possible, and there is a slight mistake on the lord's side, there will be a danger of the whole army being annihilated! Our death is a small matter, what will the lord do?"
Meng Shuo appeared behind them at this time. Xu Chu and Chen Dao saw Meng Shuo coming with more than a hundred people, and they looked back at the same time: "Where is the lord?"
Meng Shuo told Long Fei's order. Chen Dao said: "Don't hesitate any longer! It's not too late, we need to take action immediately!"
Cao Ren also came to the city to check. Standing on the top of the city, he could see the bright torches in the distance. They were divided into two parts, one in front of the other and one in the back. There were many people closest to him, and only a thousand people farther away.
Cao Ren pointed to the distance and asked the deputy general: "What happened over there? Who are those two groups of soldiers and horses?"
The deputy general said hurriedly: "I have sent people to look at it, and they are all tigers and leopards, so there is no..."
"Hmph!" Cao Ren didn't wait for the lieutenant to finish what he said, and snorted coldly: "The war is imminent, no information can be missed, and you actually...! Come on, pull me down and beat you twenty more times!"
Cao Ren sent a scout to check the situation there immediately. After a short time, the scout came back. He said that there were two groups of tiger and leopard cavalry standing face to face. There were too many torches and they didn't dare to get close. Cao Ren's mind started to spin again. Two groups of tiger and leopard cavalry were standing there.
Face to face, the general said hurriedly: "General, could it be that General Cao Chun has found Long Fei, entangled them, waiting for us to surround them, and then annihilated them in one fell swoop. It seems that Long Fei has a lot of people!"
"It makes sense!" Cao Ren was a little unable to make up his mind: "It's not that Long Fei only has 500 troops, why are there suddenly so many people, and Chundi didn't send a message!" Cao Ren paced back and forth on the city, thinking about what to do.
.
"Listen to those in the city! Your Grandpa Meng Shuo is here. He gasped and said, come out and die!" Meng Shuo led a hundred soldiers and horses and stood under the city and shouted. Cao Ren on the city was immediately attracted by this voice.
I woke up with a start. I came to the edge of the city and held on to the female wall. With the help of the torches on the city top, I looked down. Sure enough, it was Meng Shuo. Then I saw that there were only a hundred soldiers and horses behind Meng Shuo. I looked up again and looked at the torch array in the distance.
The general said: "General, I will lead the troops down to capture him!"
Cao Ren nodded: "Okay, be careful, Long Fei's men are very skilled in martial arts!"
The city gate opened, and the general led five hundred cavalry to rush out of the city gate quickly. They formed a formation with Meng Shuo at the city gate and faced off. When Meng Shuo saw it, he laughed and said: "Okay! There are really some people who are not afraid of death!"
"I have come here to capture you on the order of the general. If you are wise enough to do so, you will be captured, otherwise I will kill you without leaving a trace!"
"Hahaha...!" Meng Shuo laughed loudly: "You can even say such big words. It seems that you have had enough! It's easy to talk nonsense. If you want to die, hurry up!"
When the general heard this, he screamed and rushed over with his sword. Meng Shuo didn't say much. He watched the general slash his sword, moved his spear horizontally, pushed it outward, pushed the general's sword away, and passed the spear along the way.
, the spear was like a big snake wrapped around the hilt of the general's knife and sent straight into the general's arms. The general was shocked and had no choice but to dodge left and right. In desperation, he reached out to grab the tip of the spear. But Meng Shuo's spear came too fast.
He directly cut off half of the general's palm, and the spear tip continued unabated, piercing the general's chest and abdomen.
"Ah!" screamed. Meng Shuo screamed with both arms, holding the general high on the tip of the gun, watching the blood pouring on him like spring water: "Such a loser can be a general, it's really funny.
Yes! Is there anyone I can fight?"
Cao Ren felt dejected when he saw that his general was killed with one move. He saw Meng Shuo running rampant below, punching the female wall with his fist, turning around and about to pick up the knife and leave the city. The deputy general hurriedly hugged him
He said: "General, calm down! That Meng Shuo is obviously trying to lure the enemy. If we go out, we will fall into a trap!"
"But I get angry just looking at him!" Cao Ren was still angry.
The deputy general said: "General Cao Chun has sent someone to pass the message. Now it seems that Long Fei is indeed going this way. As long as we hold this place and wait for General Cao Chun to lead the tiger and leopard cavalry, they will not be able to escape!"
"Oh? Is that Cao Ren up there?" The lights on the city were bright. Cao Ren had a strange appearance and his short stature stood out among Cao's troops. Meng Shuo had seen Cao Ren on the city a long time ago, and after winning for a while, he decided to play tricks on Cao Ren. Meng Shuo
Laughing: "Hahaha! Cao Ren, you didn't keep an eye on us in the post house last time. I'm afraid we will escape this time. If you escape twice, what face will you have when you return to Yecheng? If Cao Cao knew that
You let us go twice, I'm afraid even Cao won't let you use your surname to avoid embarrassment! Hahaha..."
The dragon army below the city laughed together with Meng Shuo. Cao Ren couldn't bear it. He didn't want to be laughed at like this. He had made a big mistake. I'm afraid everyone in Jizhou knew about it. He didn't even have the face to go back. If he let this
The gang walked out of Jizhou and spread their embarrassing story all over the world. From now on, they would not be able to go there. No matter how the deputy general tried to stop him, Cao Ren picked up his sword and hurriedly came down from the tower. The deputy general had no choice but to immediately order the army to follow him to prevent it.
just in case.
Cao Ren came down from the city and rode straight out of the city gate. When Meng Shuo saw it, he immediately became more energetic, and the laughing soldiers behind him also stopped smiling in an instant. Cao Ren didn't say a word, and struck with his sword.
Meng Shuo raised his spear and raised it up. The two men's martial arts were not much different. Is Cao Ren a famous general in Cao's army, or was he the first to win, and he was angry. After three swords, Meng Shuo seemed to be unable to resist, and even the war horse
Keep retreating.
Seeing Cao Ren's fourth sword strike, Meng Shuo feinted with a shot, flicked his horse's head, and turned around to leave. The more than a hundred soldiers behind him immediately fled in all directions. Cao Ren yelled in anger and chased after him. The deputy general shouted twice
However, Cao Ren did not return his horse. The lieutenant hurriedly led his men to follow him, fearing that he would be ambushed by the Dragon Army.
Xu Chu and Chen Dao looked at each other in the grass on the side, turned around and crawled out toward the black shadow on the left! Dozens of wounded soldiers followed closely behind them, avoiding the light on the city while moving towards the city wall.
.
"There are people over here! Shoot arrows!" Suddenly there was a loud shout from the city. Xu Chu was startled and hurriedly looked towards the top of the city. Cao Jun's soldiers were running towards this side quickly. Chen Dao asked: "I have been discovered, what should I do?
?”
Xu Chu glared: "Charge! The brave one will win when we meet on a narrow road! This is what the lord said, and it must be true!"
