Xu Chu dodged the fatal blow, Wen Chou was slightly surprised.
Unexpectedly, this fat man is quite flexible, isn't he?
But so what?
Can you hide from me once? Can you hide from me a second time?
Turning the horse's head, Wen Chou once again rushed towards Xu Chu, who was getting up in a panic.
Seeing that there was no way to escape, Xu Chu had no choice but to wait with a knife.
"when!"
Another charge was blocked by Xu Chu, and Wen Chou became angry.
I think I am the most powerful general in Hebei, but I failed in several rounds against you, a cripple?
In anger, Wen Chou swung his spear and stopped charging Xu Chu. He drove his war horse to Xu Chu and launched a ferocious attack on him like a storm.
Ma De, I didn’t expect this Wen Chou to be so fierce. I feel so cold.
After barely resisting for more than ten rounds, Xu Chu was already stabbed with scars.
When he saw that Wen Chou seemed to be tireless and launched another attack on him, Xu Chu knew in his heart that he was probably going to die here.
"Mao Jie! Send an order to the entire army to retreat, and wait until the lord's reinforcements arrive before fighting against Wen Chou again!"
Because he was worried that if he died in the battle, it would cause a chain reaction and lead to the defeat of Cao's army, so Xu Chu blocked Wen Chou's attack again and quickly gave orders to the deputy general Mao Jie not far away.
But he was no match for Wen Chou, and now that he was distracted, Xu Chu could no longer block Wen Chou's attack.
Seeing the spear piercing his chest, Xu Chuhu's eyes widened.
With the help of inertia, Xu Chu rushed forward along the spear pierced into his body, and finally left some souvenirs for Wen Chou before he died.
"Damn it!"
Seeing Xu Chu being penetrated by a spear, Wen Chou was furious.
Damn it, this guy actually gave me a knife in advance.
There was a dull pain from the wound on his leg, which made Wen Chou give up his plan to pursue Cao Jun.
Anyway, King Qi's order was to capture Yanjin. Now that Yanjin has been captured, we are waiting for King Qi's army to arrive.
No longer paying attention to the retreating Cao army, Wen Chou returned to the Yanjin camp amidst the cheers of the Hebei army.
"Lord!
General Xu Chu was killed in battle!"
A few days later, the bad news of Xu Chu's death finally reached Cao Cao's ears.
When he heard that Xu Chu was killed in battle, Cao Cao felt a pain in his heart.
Another general has left me.
Could it be that the path Cao and I chose was really wrong?
"My lord, it's better to ask King Chu for help quickly.
That Hebei Wen Chou, I'm afraid no one in our army can defeat him."
Unlike Cao Cao's heartache, as a counselor, Guo Jia, who always puts reason first, quickly reminded him.
The current situation is greatly unfavorable to Cao Jun.
Cao's army on Baima only tried its best to defend, but once Yanjin was lost, if Yuan Shao's army moved to Yanjin to cross the river, what defense should Cao's army use?
However, we cannot abandon Baima just because Yanjin fell. You must know that Yuan Shao's army is at Liyang on the other side of Baima at this time.
This also makes Cao Jun's only option at present is to ask for help from Xiang Ji.
As long as Xiang Ji can kill Na Wen Chou as he did before, Yanjin Crossing can be recaptured, and the battle between Cao's army and the Hebei army can return to the previous stalemate.
"I'll leave this matter to you. I'm tired. Let me take a rest."
After giving instructions to Guo Jia, Cao Cao returned to his camp.
Why? Cao and I just wanted to help the Han Dynasty at first, but the situation became worse and worse?
Who is it because of? Dong Zhuo? Or Xiang Ji?
I'm afraid, neither.
Cao Cao knew it in his heart.
Even without Dong Zhuo and Xiang Ji, the Han Dynasty would have come to an end.
The rise and fall of dynasties has been inevitable since ancient times.
It's just that this time he was met by Cao Cao, the unlucky guy who wanted to be the general of the Han Dynasty in the Western Conquest.
You know, Cao Cao at this time was not what he was in history.
Historically, Cao Cao has occupied the Central Plains and has hundreds of thousands of soldiers, hundreds of generals, and countless advisers under his command.
He also used the emperor's power to make the princes proud of the world.
People will always have different ideas as their status and identity change.
Historically, Cao Cao did have ambitions and put them into practice.
But after all, he still has the heart of a Hanchen.
This is also the reason why Cao Cao did not abolish the Han Dynasty and proclaim himself emperor until his death.
It's not that Cao Cao didn't know that the Han Dynasty was hopeless, but he still had a trace of his own pure place in his heart.
But what about now? Cao Cao's situation is far different than it was in history.
The emperor is gone, so there is no longer a question of whether to hold him or not.
The world is in chaos. Without Xuzhou, Yuzhou, and the third assistant, Cao Cao's strength is far worse than at the same time in history.
No matter the strength of the troops, the generals are not of the same level.
This also prevented Cao Cao from having any ambition for hegemony as he had in history.
Today, Cao Cao just wants to keep his own legacy.
But now it seems that it is difficult to defend Yanzhou against Yuan Shao, the overlord of Hebei!
This is why Cao Cao paid so much attention to Xiang Ji that he even ignored his assassination of Emperor Xian and instead wanted to marry his daughter to him as a concubine.
"What!?
You mean? The one who killed Yan Liang was Xiang Ji of Chu State!?"
After Xu Chu was killed, Wen Chou ignored Cao's troops who had withdrawn several miles away, and just continued to reinforce the camp every day to wait for Yuan Shao's army to cross the river.
But what he didn't expect was that he didn't wait for Yuan Shao's army to arrive, but he did wait for the reinforcements sent by Yuan Shao.
Although I didn't know Xu Huang Wenchou, how could Wen Chou, a soldier and horseman in Hebei, not know him.
After learning that Xu Huang was a new general who had joined Yuan Shao, Wen Chou also expressed goodwill to him.
After all, he will be a brother in the trenches from now on, and Wen Chou, who is a man of nature, will naturally not suppress him.
But what Wen Chou didn't expect was that Xu Huang's arrival brought news that he had never expected.
It turned out that his good brother, Yan Liang, was actually killed by Xiang Ji of Chu State!
After hearing Xu Huang's complaint, Wen Chou believed most of it.
After all, Yan Liang's martial arts skills are clear to him, and Cao Jun is probably unbeatable.
However, Yan Liang was killed instantly in front of the battle.
If it is said that Xiang Ji arrived, then everything is the same.
However, this result made Wen Chou, who had a heart for revenge, suddenly break out in a cold sweat.
Xiang Ji! If others don’t know, doesn’t Wen Chou know?
Back in Qingzhou, Wen Chou was almost killed by that Ji.
Then when he fought against him, he was completely crushed.
This is not an opponent of the same level at all.
"Commander Wen, Xu Huang is not talented, but he can help the commander when facing the enemy Xiang Ji!"
Just when Wen Chou was feeling uneasy, Xu Huang gave him a reassurance.
If you can't fight alone, you can always fight in a group, right?
