With Cao Cao by my side, what do I have to fear from the world?

Chapter 48, Rescuing Cao Cao and His Son

Dian Wei was dazed and confused. It took him a long time to open his eyes. He swayed and fell to the ground, feeling as if his head was filled with lead.

"What happened?" Dian Wei asked again.

The messenger from Cao was so anxious he was almost crying, "General Dian Wei, wake up! Zhang Xiu has betrayed us!"

"what?"

Dian Wei finally understood and stood up, swaying slightly.

Looking down to find his weapon, Dian Wei realized his halberd had vanished. He cursed a few times and staggered out.

He stole a large sword from outside and fought his way to Cao Cao's tent.

As soon as Dian Wei arrived, before he could rush in, he discovered that a burly man had already rushed into Cao Cao's tent.

Dian Wei was startled. He vaguely felt that the person looked familiar, so he quickly followed them inside.

It was Xu Huang!
Saving lives was the priority, so Xu Huang disregarded etiquette and yanked back the quilt, discovering that Cao Cao and Zou Shi were embracing. Xu Huang reached out and lifted Cao Cao up, then wrapped the quilt around Zou Shi.

Cao Cao suddenly awoke with a start, opened his eyes, and was shocked. "How come it's you?"

Unexpectedly, the first person to come to his side was Xu Huang. Cao Cao subconsciously wanted to back away, after all, Xu Huang was not his subordinate.

Xu Huang shouted, "His Majesty ordered me to rescue Lord Cao! Zhang Xiu has already betrayed us! Lord Cao, please come with me!"

Outside, shouts of battle filled the air, and chaos reigned. Cao Cao quickly understood what was happening without needing any prompting.

As he ran outside, Cao Cao didn't forget to ask, "Where is His Majesty? How is he?"

"Don't worry, Lord Cao, with Zhao Yun by His Majesty's side, His Majesty is very safe!"

Cao Cao breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good. Zhang Xiu, you dog, I valued him so much, yet you dared to betray me."

Cao Cao was still cursing and complaining, feeling that Zhang Xiu had wronged him. He didn't even consider that if you sleep with someone's aunt, do you think she would be willing to do so?

As Cao Cao stepped out of the tent, he suddenly remembered something and shouted to Dian Wei behind him, "Take that woman with you; don't leave her behind."

Zou was terrified, but fortunately Cao Cao didn't abandon her. Dian Wei quickly wrapped her in a quilt and carried her out, quilt and all.

Once outside, seeing the Xiliang soldiers charging towards them, Dian Wei casually tossed Zou Shi to the others and roared, "You guys go first, I'll hold them off."

Xu Huang immediately protected Cao Cao and charged outwards.

The Xiliang soldiers kept charging forward, but Cao Cao's warhorse, Jueying, was shot shortly after riding away.

Cao Ang rode over at full gallop. Without thinking twice, he hurriedly gave his mount to Cao Cao, saying, "Father, you go first, I'll cover your retreat!"

Cao Cao was both moved and distressed. He mounted Cao Ang's horse and said, "Zixiu, you must take good care of yourself."

Cao Ang nodded and swung his sword, slashing down an approaching Xiliang soldier.

He urged loudly, "Father, hurry up!"

Soon, Cao Ang fearlessly engaged the enemy in battle.

Cao Cao's eyes welled up with tears as his son fought desperately to hold off the enemy. After running a short distance, he saw Zhao Yun charging towards him on horseback.

Zhao Yun didn't have time to greet Cao Cao. He spurred his horse forward while quickly surveying the chaotic battlefield. According to Liu Xie's plan, Xu Huang was there to rescue Cao Cao, while Zhao Yun was there to rescue Cao Ang and Dian Wei.

As for Liu Xie, Zhao Yun had already sent him to a safe place as soon as the rebellion began.

Upon finding Cao Ang, they discovered he was being surrounded and attacked by dozens of Xiliang soldiers. Cao Ang's battle robe was stained with blood, and he was already wounded.

Zhao Yun swiftly joined the battle, wielding his spear with lightning speed. His deadly silver spear whipped through the air, each strike a deadly blow, leaving no room for doubt. The Jade Lion was magnificent and extraordinary, and Zhao Yun was even more unstoppable!

Puff puff!
Like a toothpick stuck in a watermelon rind, the sound was barely audible, yet the gleaming silver spear was terrifyingly lethal!

In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen of the besieging Xiliang soldiers fell. Zhao Yun charged into the crowd, fighting back and forth, and soon turned the enemy soldiers who were besieging Cao Ang upside down.

Zhao Yun approached Cao Ang and shouted, "Young Master, mount your horse!"

Cao Ang didn't hesitate, nodded gratefully, and jumped onto Zhao Yun's horse.

Zhao Yun fought his way out and escaped until he encountered Xiahou Yuan and his group. He then put Cao Ang down and turned back to find Dian Wei.

Dian Wei was all alone, guarding the gate, when he was besieged by hundreds of Xiliang soldiers.

Having no suitable weapon, Dian Wei first used a knife, but the blade quickly became dull, and he had to change to several steel knives.

When Zhao Yun arrived, Dian Wei was wielding two living people in one hand, using them as weapons, smashing them until blood and flesh flew everywhere.

In no time at all, the two grown men in his hands were smashed into bloody messes, their heads crushed and beyond dead.

The corpses of Xiliang soldiers lay scattered all around him, and Dian Wei was covered in blood.

He could no longer distinguish between his own blood and the enemy's blood, nor could he tell how many wounds he had sustained.

Seeing that he was swaying and almost exhausted, Zhao Yun arrived just in time, wielding his silver spear and quickly joining the battle.

Zhao Yun was genuinely impressed by Dian Wei's performance!
Alone, he fought against hundreds of Xiliang soldiers with unparalleled bravery and fearlessness, engaging in hand-to-hand combat that terrified the enemy!
Puff puff!
Zhao Yun remained expressionless, decisively striking with his silver spear, thrusting and stabbing with reckless abandon.

The spear moved with the speed of a storm, killing one person with every step, showing no mercy.

Despite the Xiliang soldiers being huddled together, they fell to the ground one after another when faced with Zhao Yun, who seemed to be possessed by a god of death. Many of them were so frightened that they scrambled to retreat.

Zhao Yun didn't shout or waste any words; his spear thrust out, sure to take a life.

Decisive and straightforward, without any hesitation or delay.

The blood-dripping spear was wielded mercilessly, without any fancy moves, each shot deadly, every strike aimed directly at a vital point.

Dian Wei was about to fall when suddenly strong reinforcements arrived, which greatly boosted his spirits. The two of them charged forward side by side and finally managed to fight their way out.

Cao Cao was halfway there when Yu Jin arrived with his men.

Cao Cao was still a little puzzled, "Wenze, none of the other generals were able to arrive in time, how did you get here so quickly?"

Yu Jin hurriedly replied, "His Majesty sent me. He is currently contacting other military officers, and there are reinforcements coming from behind."

Because Cao Cao's camps were very large and scattered in several places, it was impossible for them all to come at once.

Cao Cao sighed and glanced at Xu Huang beside him, "This time, we really owe a great debt to Your Majesty."

Cao Cao continued on his way, and when he met Liu Xie, Liu Xie took the initiative to run over to him before Cao Cao could even approach him.

Liu Xie strode over and grabbed Cao Cao's hand, asking with concern, "Lord Cao, how are you? Are you hurt?"

Cao Cao was suddenly moved and grasped Liu Xie's hand tightly. At that moment, he felt that the emperor was so kind to him.

Cao Cao quickly shook his head, "Thanks to Your Majesty, I am unharmed."

Liu Xie said with relief, "You are my pillar of strength. It's good that you're alright, it's good that you're alright!"

Soon, several Cao soldiers carried Zou Shi over. Even now, Zou Shi was still not dressed and was wrapped in a quilt, revealing a large expanse of her snow-white skin.
