I was kicked out by Sun Quan, and I turned to Cao thief

Chapter 179 Cao Hong pursues with hatred
"This is a great credit! It's just surrendering for no reason!"

"My lord, you are confused, confused!" Tai Shi stomped his feet benevolently.

Zhang He has been unable to attack Yecheng for a long time, and the current period is extremely low.

Moreover, he now only has more than 1 remnants and defeated generals.

At this time to chase, it is very likely to make great achievements.

Su Ming let Su Ming go out because of the merits of the mouth, can Tai Shici not be angry?

Tai Shici was angry, but Zhang Liao was not angry at all.

Why isn't Zhang Liao angry? Doesn't Zhang Liao want to do meritorious service?
Of course not, as a general, no one wants to make meritorious service.

However, Zhang Liao understands the overall situation and knows the general situation.

Zhang Liao already understood that Su Ming sent only three generals, Cao Hong, Li Dian, and Le Jin, instead of Tai Shici.

Zhang Liao patted Tai Shici on the shoulder, and said comfortingly, "Ziyi, let me see, you are very clear, but on the contrary, you are confused."

"We burned Wuchao, captured Ye City, and beheaded Yuan Shao. These three things are already considered a great contribution."

"This battle in the north is very creditable. We have already taken seven or eight points. If all the credit is taken by us, what do you make the other soldiers think?"

"As far as I know, we were trapped in Yecheng, which was almost impossible to defend. It was Cao Hong, Le Jin, and Li Dian who rescued us."

"The young master gave the three of them the credit for chasing Zhang He, Ziyi, do you think it should or shouldn't it?"

"This"

"This..." After Zhang Liao finished speaking, Tai Shici was stunned and speechless.

There is nothing wrong with what Zhang Liao said!

Due to emotion and reason, Cao Hong, Li Dian, and Le Jin had to give up the credit for chasing Zhang He.

In everything, don't eat too ugly.

Tai Shici, in terms of personality, is still very loyal.

Thinking of their embarrassment yesterday, if Cao Hong and Le Jin hadn't arrived in time, they might have lost Yecheng.

"Hey!" Tai Shici sighed and said, "It's right to give them the credit!"

Tai Shici still understood the reason, and after Zhang Liao named the reason, Tai Shici stopped complaining.

Zhang Liao remembered Su Ming's arrangement and asked, "My lord, since you know, Zhang He will set up an ambush."

"Why did you let Cao Hong go after me first? Cao Hong is reckless, and it feels a bit inappropriate for him to be the first to go after me."

"Li Dian has a steady personality, so it's better to let the two of them switch."

After hearing Zhang Liao's words, Su Ming shook his head and said, "Zhang Yun is a general. Even if he withdraws, he will never withdraw troops blindly."

"I expected that he must set up an ambush. In this first battle, Cao Hong, Li Dian, and Le Jin, no matter who goes, they can't win."

"Letting Cao Hong go is also to dampen Cao Hong's spirit and let him grow some memory."

"The most important thing is, think about it, if Li Dian and Cao Hong were to switch, Cao Hong might be the one who caught Zhang He."

"Zhang Xi could still save his life if he fell into the hands of Li Dian, but if he fell into the hands of Cao Hong, his life would be hard to save!"

With Su Ming's explanation, Zhang Liao understood.

Yesterday, Cao Hong's three thousand leopard cavalry were almost wiped out.

Now, in Cao Hong's heart, it can be said that he hates Zhang Yun to the bone.

If Cao Hong catches Zhang Yun, he can kill Zhang Yun on the spot.

Zhang Xi is a general, and it would be a pity to kill him. If he can surrender, for Prime Minister Cao, he will also be a general.

After thinking about all this, Zhang Liao admired Su Ming completely.

"I see you, my lord." Zhang Liao bowed his hands and saluted.

"Boom."

"Boom, boom, boom."

On the official road to Qingzhou, Cao Hong led [-] cavalry to march quickly.

Cao Hong's scouts had already spread within a radius of [-] miles. As long as they found Zhang He's defeated army, they would be able to surround them in an instant.

Zhang Xi now has 8000 soldiers at full strength, and there are thousands of wounded soldiers here.

If they were surrounded by Cao Hong's [-] cavalry, it would be a disaster.

"Zhang He, please don't get caught by me."

"If you fall into my hands, I will cut you into pieces, and I will burn you with human oil!" Cao Hong said through gritted teeth.

The entire army of three thousand leopard cavalry was wiped out, and this was considered to be the feud between Cao Hong and Zhang Yun.

When Cao Hong mentioned Zhang Xi's name now, he gritted his teeth angrily.

Cao Hong's scouts walked for thirty miles, but Zhang He was more skilled.

Zhang Xi walked in front, and there was a secret sentry behind him to watch. As long as the secret sentry saw the pursuers, he would go back and report quickly.

On the road from Yecheng to Qingzhou, Zhang He left a secret post every ten miles.

Therefore, now Zhang Xi not only has a grasp of Cao Hong's whereabouts, but also the speed of his pursuit.

"Report!" A secret sentry came to Zhang He's side, cupped his hands and reported to Zhang He: "General, Cao Hong's army is still more than fifty miles away from us."

After hearing this number, Zhang He immediately opened the military map and checked it carefully.

There is a valley more than ten miles ahead of Zhang Xi's current position.

This valley is called Hulugugukou.

As the name suggests, this gourd valley mouth is because it looks like a gourd.

The front is small, the back is big, and the sides are easy to ambush soldiers and horses.

It can be said that this is an excellent ambush location.

Zhang He was originally preparing to ambush Cao Hong's army at the mouth of the Calabash Valley.

It's just that he didn't expect Cao Hong's catching speed to be so fast.

Can Cao Hong's speed not be fast?Cao Hong was pursuing with hatred, wishing he could swallow Zhang Xi alive.

They were already advancing at full speed, and they set off a few hours earlier than Cao Hong and the others, yet they were about to be overtaken.

The distance between them and Cao Hong was fifty miles, and they were still more than ten miles away from the entrance of Calabash Valley.

Cao Hong was all cavalry, while Zhang He was mostly infantry. The most important thing was that there were wounded soldiers in Zhang He's team.

Zhang He's marching speed was far behind Cao Hong's.

At a distance of fifty li, Cao Hong's cavalry could quickly catch up.

After Zhang He arrived at the mouth of Hulugu, he had to ambush and arrange in advance.

Therefore, the time left for him was really wrong.

Zhang He frowned. He knew that he had to arrive at the mouth of Calabash Valley earlier.

The earlier the arrangement, the more chances of winning.

After thinking of this, Zhang He got off his horse and gave an order to his generals, saying, "Except for the scouts, all the other generals dismounted."

"Give up all the horses to the wounded soldiers, and we must use the fastest speed to reach the mouth of Calabash Valley."

After giving this order, Zhang He took the lead in helping a wounded soldier onto his horse, and Zhang He led the horse for the wounded soldier himself.

With Zhang He as an example, other generals and schools followed suit.

The coach Zhang Xi has already dismounted, who dare not dismount?
