There were crowds of people on the hill, and the archers were already ready. They bent their bows and aimed arrows at Cao Cao's people at the foot of the mountain. There were soldiers guarding the mountains in front of and behind them. The leading general, in white clothes, with a white horse, and a white armor, was holding a gun in his hand.
The silver spear was shining brightly in the southeast wind, and the cloak was blowing behind him. Cao Cao knew this man, and it was none other than Long Fei's sworn brother, Zhao Yun, who was said to be second only to Lu Bu in martial arts!
Zhao Yun looked at Cao Cao and his men and raised his head and laughed. Who can make people crazy? Zhao Yun had thousands of soldiers and horses, but Cao Cao had less than a hundred people behind him. Although there were soldiers and generals, these people retreated when they saw Zhao Yun.
, none of them can lift their spirits.
Cao Chun hurriedly rode in front of Cao Cao: "Zhao Yun, don't be so arrogant. As long as I'm here, don't even think about touching my elder brother!"
"You? Hahaha!" Zhao Yun laughed loudly: "You are not qualified to say this yet. If you are brave, just come over!"
Cao Chun was furious. As the leader of Cao Cao's personal guard, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, Cao Chun had the responsibility to protect Cao Cao. Now that the soldiers were scattered, it was naturally impossible to gather them temporarily. The only way at this time was
Wait, if we can wait until the rear troops arrive one after another, there may be a glimmer of hope. Even if we die, we still have to protect Cao Cao.
Cao Chun was about to ride out. Jiang Ji hurriedly stopped him: "General Cao, wait a minute. General Zhao, can you listen to me?"
Zhao Yun smiled: "Oh? Tell me! I will let you speak your mind before you die."
"Thank you, General Zhao!" Jiang Ji raised his hand to Zhao Yun: "This time my lord led his troops to Jiangnan. He was originally going to attack Jiangdong, not to make an enemy of General Long. It was Sun Quan who got in the way and instigated our two families.
The relationship has brought things to this point. As long as General Zhao agrees to let us go, my lord promises to sign an alliance with General Long after he returns. The two families will not invade each other and will form an alliance forever!"
"Covenant?" Zhao Yun shook his head: "Brother said that a covenant is just a piece of silk and is not of much use. As long as we catch you, the North will be in chaos, and we can take the opportunity to go north to the Central Plains.
Hebei will be in the pocket, which is much better than being trapped in the cracks of you guys!"
Jiang Ji wanted to speak. Zhao Yun interrupted: "Stop talking nonsense, brothers, get someone!"
"Who dares?" Cao Chun raised his halberd, ordered his tiger and leopard cavalry to surround Cao Cao, and stood alone opposite Zhao Yun: "They say your martial arts skills can be matched only by the dead Lu Bu, but I don't believe it.
, today I am going to have a few fights with you to see who is stronger!"
"Okay! That's exactly what I meant!" Zhao Yun raised his spear and looked at Cao Chun's chuckle.
Cao Chun looked back at Cao Cao, turned his face, gritted his teeth, and pinched the horse's belly with his legs. The horse roared and rushed out. Cao Chun danced his halberd on the horse and rushed towards Zhao Yun while shouting.
Zhao Yun stood there, still holding the horse in one hand and holding his spear in the other, looking at Cao Chun with a smile, without any nervousness or excitement like before the battle.
Cao Chun's halberd stabbed straight, with the sound of wind, and with the help of horse power, the power of this halberd was definitely huge. If it were Dian Wei, a fierce general like Xu Chu would definitely catch it, but Zhao Yun won with a clever move.
Seeing Cao Chun's halberd in front of him, he raised his right hand and waved the spear gently from the inside out, pushing Cao Chun's halberd a few inches away. The halberd touched Zhao Yun's spear and slipped past his ear.
Cao Chun stabbed the air with his halberd without stopping his movement. When he moved his right foot, the horse immediately understood and suddenly turned to the left. Cao Chun flipped his wrist and changed the thrust to a hook, and the blade on the side of the halberd shined at Zhao Yun's
Hook the back of the neck. These movements are done in one go, without any sloppiness. If you meet an ordinary military commander, if you are not careful, your head will definitely move.
Zhao Yun was not an ordinary general. He gently raised his head and right arm upwards. Cao Chun's halberd was raised a little higher, and he pressed Zhao Yun's helmet and pulled it over. With these two inadvertent movements,
After Cao Chun's fatal blow, everyone was stunned. Hundreds of soldiers behind Zhao Yun kept shouting: "Okay! Good! The second general is so good at martial arts!" The loud voice shook the entire valley.
Cao Chun missed a hit and his horse ran far away. Then he stopped the horse and turned it back. Looking at Zhao Yun in the distance who was still motionless, he looked at himself and smiled. Cao Chun took a deep breath.
In terms of tone, in just this round, he has already seen the gap between himself and Zhao Yun. It is definitely not as simple as a little bit. Even if he practices for another ten years, he will not be able to catch up with his level.
Cao Chun returned to his horse for the second time and charged towards Zhao Yun again. Zhao Yun still did not move, and easily neutralized Cao Chun's tricks. Three times in a row, Cao Chun continued to attack, but Zhao Yun did not move at all. When Cao Chun charged for the fourth time,
, Zhao Yun stared, holding the gun with both hands. Before Cao Chun's halberd could be thrust out, Zhao Yun's spear flew towards Cao Chun with the spear.
The dancing guns and flowers appeared in front of Cao Chun, and many phantoms appeared. It was impossible to tell which one was real and which one was fake. Cao Chun was a little confused, and hurriedly took back the offensive, waving his halberd to block. The two weapons were in a blur.
There was stirring back and forth, but strangely, no sound was made. Seeing Cao Chun's horse stepping into Zhao Yun's guns step by step, everyone on Cao Cao's side had their hearts in their throats. However,
It was too late to stop now. Cao Chun had no choice but to bite the bullet and dig in.
"Ah...!" Those who heard the screams were frightened. Cao Cao closed his eyes and did not dare to look. One of his tribesmen, Cao Ren, had already died in the battle. If Cao Chun died again, how would he explain to his family when he returned?
.
"Wha...!" A long halberd suddenly flew out from among the guns and flowers, spun around in the air several times, and flew straight towards Cao Cao. Cao Cao was so frightened that he hurriedly rolled his saddle and fell off his horse. Amidst the exclamations of everyone
, the halberd landed one step away from Cao Cao, sticking straight into the ground.
Everyone helped Cao Cao up with all their hands. Zhao Yun's shot was also over. A war horse wandered alone in front of the two armies. Cao Chun who was riding on this horse had disappeared. By the time everyone in Cao's army reacted, they would have already
Several Jingzhou soldiers tied up Cao Chun Wuhuada who fell to the ground and took him down.
"Brother Chun!" Cao Cao was thrown into a daze and did not notice that Cao Chun was captured alive instead of killed in battle. He gently wiped his tears and sat on the ground shouting Cao Chun's name.
Cheng Yu and others hurriedly persuaded Cao Cao to stop crying. Cao Hong on the side said: "Brother, shall I fight with that Zhao Yun?"
Cao Cao waved his hand: "Forget it, no one here is Zhao Yun's opponent. It seems that we can't survive today. Let's all put down our weapons to avoid further damage!"
"Father!" Cao Pi hurriedly knelt in front of Cao Cao: "Father, don't be discouraged. You often teach us that we should never give up until the last moment. What happened to you today?"
"The eldest son is right, Lord and good people have their own destiny. Don't lose confidence until the last moment!" Cheng Yu also comforted him.
Cao Cao shook his head: "They have many soldiers and horses, how can our defeated army be an opponent?"
Dong Zhao shook his head slightly: "Lord, don't worry. I don't think Zhao Yun has any murderous intention. Things should turn around. Long Fei is a smart man. If he wants to kill us, he can do it in the Chibi Camp. Why bother to ambush here?"
?”
Jiang Ji turned to look at Dong Zhao: "What do you mean...?"
Dong Zhaodao: "Long Fei is a man with a good face. In my opinion, he asked Zhao Yun to occupy Pingchun first not to prevent us from escaping north, but to prevent the people from Jiangdong. If the lord is defeated, it will not be good for them in Jingzhou, but will make the people far away."
Sun Quan in Moling took advantage, so he will definitely let us go, but I don't know how they will let us go."
"Are you so sure?" Cheng Yu asked.
Dong Zhao nodded. Cao Pi stood up from the ground and said: "I'll ask him! If he really wants to let him go, he will definitely tell the conditions. It's no wonder that Long Fei's power only requires some food, grass, money and food. Just give it to him.
!”
Cao Pi shook off the dust on his robes, tidied himself up, grasped the hilt of the sword at his waist with his left hand, and walked out of the crowd. He was still dozens of steps away from Zhao Yun before he stood still. People on both sides looked at
Looking at Cao Pi, Zhao Yun really admired Cao Pi's courage and nodded slightly to him. Everyone on Cao Cao's side looked at Cao Pi with wide eyes.
Cao Pi raised his hand and said: "General Zhao, we are trapped here today. I want to know what we should do before General Zhao will let us go? Is it for money, food or something else? As long as we can give it, General Zhao will ask!"
"
Zhao Yun looked at Cao Pi: "You are very brave. In this case, I will give you a face." Zhao Yun raised the spear in his hand high, and the hundreds of soldiers behind him flashed to both sides, revealing a field full of thorns and gravel.
Rugged mountain road. Zhao Yun pointed: "This is the path leading to Hebin Village. You can bypass Pingchun City. As long as you leave all the food, weapons, and horses behind, and crawl over this path on your knees, I can let you go."
You guys! Mr. Cao, how are you doing?"
Cao Pi gritted his teeth, and the expression on his face became stiff. He looked up at Zhao Yun, suppressed the anger in his heart, turned around and looked into the eyes of Cao Cao and his own people behind him: "General Zhao, my father is old, not to mention still...
Your lord, General Long's father-in-law, can you keep a war horse and I can climb it for him?"
"You are a filial child, I promise you!" Zhao Yun nodded.
Cao Pi thanked him and returned to his side to explain the conditions. Everyone felt angry and no one could bear this humiliation. Liu Ye even cursed Long Fei as despicable and would rather die than suffer this humiliation.
.
Dong Zhao sighed: "Don't be like this, everyone. Survival is the most important thing. Long Fei has always taken great care of his men. He must have done this to commemorate the three thousand Jingzhou soldiers who died in the battle of Hebin Village. The biggest casualty was.
Tolerate!"
Cao Cao patted Cao Pi on the shoulder and nodded solemnly. Cao Pi smiled slightly: "As long as the father is fine, the child will be relieved."
