Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Chapter 515
Cao Hong stabilized the situation, regrouped the dispersed Cao army, and followed Zhao Yun to Beishan.

Like Dingjun Mountain, Beishan belongs to Daba Mountain. It is close to Mianshui (Han River). The mountain is wide but not high. Because of the lush vegetation, Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong camped here and have not been found.

Zhang Zhu's remnant army retreated back to the Beishan camp first, and Zhang Yi, who stayed in the camp, was hurriedly preparing to close the gate and start a defensive battle because he received the news of the attack ahead.

After Zhao Yun arrived, he asked Zhang Yi to open the gate of the camp, and led the rest of the soldiers to hide their flags and drums, and took shelter with a strong bow and crossbow. He stood alone at the camp gate with a spear in his hand.

Because Huang Zhong was not in the camp at this time, Zhang Yi could only act on Zhao Yun's order.

After a while, Cao Hongbing arrived.

Seeing that Zhao Yun was alone and the camp was surprisingly empty, Cao Hongyuan raised his hand and stopped walking.

"General, Zhao Yun has few soldiers, and the enemy camp is empty, what a god-given opportunity." The general accompanying the army reported the good news to Cao Hong.

Cao Hong frowned, thinking that Zhao Yun was so brave, there were hundreds of soldiers who escaped just now, there must be an ambush in the empty camp now, at this time the mountain wind passed through the border, making a rustling sound as it passed by the surrounding vegetation.

"Zhao Yun is not a reckless person. He must have set up ambushes around the camp. He ordered the entire army to change from the rear to the front. We will retreat down the mountain immediately." Cao Hong turned his horse and prepared to retreat.

"Wei." Pi will respond.

As soon as Cao Hong's army turned around, Zhao Yun took out the whistle in his arms and played it quickly, calling out Zhang Yi's remaining three thousand soldiers.

"Catch up and capture Cao Hong alive."

Zhao Yun pointed at the retreating Cao Jun with a spear and shouted, and the ambushes chased them out shouting and holding bows and crossbows.

Cao Hong turned his head and saw that there was indeed an ambush, so he left two battalions of soldiers and horses to take charge of the rear, while he urged the horses to flee forward. Zhao Yun had already called his name, and he didn't want to follow in Xia Houyuan's footsteps.

The road down the mountain was not steep, and Zhao Yun's rear army was condescending, raining arrows like locusts one after another.

Cao Jun, who had been broken, went all out at first. They held shields to resist the flying arrows, and soon threw down their helmets and armor and crowded forward, because Zhao Yun and his dozens of cavalry guards arrived in a blink of an eye.

The sound of horseshoes is like a reminder, coupled with the abnormal noise of the wind blowing grass and trees, it seems that there are thousands of troops and horses on Beishan.

Cao Bing, who had been cut off, also forgot their mission at this time, and the desire to survive urged them to keep crowding down the mountain. During the escape process, someone accidentally fell down, followed by trampling on horses and causing countless deaths and injuries.

When Cao Jun retreated to the foot of the mountain in embarrassment, a large number of soldiers and horses fell into the Mian River due to the crowded roads. Zhao Yun led the army to cover up and chase them for two or three miles before withdrawing the troops and returning to the camp.

Cao Hong fled westward to Yangshui, but Zhao Yun didn't chase after seeing the open terrain. He immediately asked for an inventory of the remaining troops, only to find that half of them had been lost.

At this time, dark clouds floated in the sky, and Cao Hong's face was uglier than the clouds.

"General, look quickly." General Pi pointed to the south and shouted.

Cao Hong was startled when he saw it, and saw a group of men and horses walking towards the south valley along the Yangshui.

"The whole army is on guard." Cao Hong shouted.

After a while, the scouts from both sides met by the Yangshui, only to realize that it was Zhang He's grain guard.

Zhang He came to see Cao Hong on a flying horse, his face was red and he looked good.

"Is the general here to rescue? The last general has defeated Huang Zhong." Zhang Yun couldn't hide his joy.

"Where is Huang Zhong's leader?" Cao Hong frowned and asked the excited Zhang He, thinking that you can defeat Huang Zhong?

Zhang He smiled awkwardly: "The old man fled into the mountain with a few hundred remnants of soldiers. At the end, he saw the lush vegetation on the mountain. He was worried about ambush so he didn't pursue him deeply, but the beheading was more than two thousand levels."

Cao Hong smiled coldly: "General Zhang has the strength to defeat Huang Zhong, why should he ask the Lord for help? Isn't it unnecessary?"

"Uh, the general didn't know that Huang Zhong only had such a small force, and he asked for help because he was worried about the failure of the food road." Zhang He could hear Cao Hong's displeasure from Cao Hong's teasing voice.

Although Zhang Yun used more to bully the less, but the result is satisfactory, that is the man who beheaded Xia Houyuan.

Cao Hong saw that Zhang He was still quite proud, so he continued to ask: "General Zhang defeated Huang Zhong, I am very happy and congratulated, but have you defended your grain road?"

"Could it be." Zhang He hesitated to speak.

"Hmph, General Zhang only knows to go after Huang Zhong, so you know Zhao Yun is attacking the grain ship?" Cao Hong continued to sarcastically.

"The last general has also been sent." Zhang He lost his confidence halfway through his words, thinking that if Cao Hong's words just now were true, sending that little soldier by himself would be a sheep to a tiger's mouth.

Thinking of this, cold sweat kept breaking out on Zhang Yun's forehead. Although it is gratifying to be able to defeat Huang Zhong, the merits and demerits may not be equal.

Taking advantage of Cao Hong's silence, Zhang Yun carefully asked: "The grain boat in Mianshui is the last."

Cao Hong rolled his eyes and thought about how to get the best of both worlds. He integrated the information he had obtained during the siege of Zhang Zhe, and finally answered seriously with a frown: "The general is already late, and dozens of grain ships have been destroyed by Zhao Yun. The rest of the grain ships have returned to Nanzheng."

"Then Zhao Yun"

"Huang Zhong only brought out [-] soldiers. How many people do you think Zhao Yun has? This general can be regarded as a tie with him, but it is worthwhile to stop him from destroying the grain ship."

Zhang He breathed a sigh of relief. This batch of rice grain was used by Cao Jun for two months. If something went wrong, it would affect the situation of the battle. Seeing Cao Hong's serious expression and a look of resignation, he followed up and said, "Since Huang Zhong only brought Three thousand soldiers were sent out to serve as bait, Zhao Yun's remaining troops should not be too many, the general and I now have tens of thousands of soldiers, how about going back to the east of the division and taking their stronghold?"

Cao Hong shook his head abruptly, "I have seen their camp just now, and it is located on a mountain that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. There must be other roads connecting with Dingjun Mountain. Now we must go back and report to the King of Wei."

"Then today's battle here." Zhang Xi was a little worried.

"Zidan and Gongming lost in Jinniu Dao. The king of Wei is extremely depressed now. I will report to him after returning to the camp. This general will speak well for you. In short, your credit is indispensable." Cao Hong said flatly.

"Thank you, General." Zhang He felt reassured.

The two returned to Zoumagu camp with their troops, and saw Guo Huai, Du Xi, Liu Ye and others standing outside the tent again.

"Zi Yang, the king of Wei." Cao Hong asked in a low voice.

Liu Ye replied in a low voice: "Today we stopped attacking, but Liu Bei asked the fake son to come to the camp with Xia Houcheng's armor to fight. The king of Wei wanted to send Xu Chu to kill the guy, but in the end Boji (Guo Huai) and Zixu (Zixu) Du Xi) stop it."

"But why?" Cao Hong asked curiously.

At this time, Zhang He, who was behind Cao Hong, added, "It was Liu Feng who fought in front of the formation at the beginning, and the governor of Xiahou went out of the camp to chase because of anger, but in the end he was chased by Huang Zhong."

Cao Hong was startled when he heard that, he finally knew why Guo Huai and Du Xi wanted to stop them.

"Who is making noise outside?" Cao Cao scolded from inside the tent.
