The Three Kingdoms Fight for the Deer

Chapter 143 Sudden realization
Cao Cao and Huang Zhong rectified their troops, while on the other side, the chasing battle between Li Yuan and Lu Bu continued.

"Brother, we have been running for more than an hour. Han Sheng and the others should have wiped out Lu Bu's 1 infantry. It's time to go back."

Zhao Yun rode his horse and ran to Li Yuan's side and said, "It's been an hour since Puyang lured Lu Bu to chase him. The armies on both sides stopped and ran along the way. As long as Lu Bu's army stopped, Li Yuan would also stop immediately. As soon as Lu Bu chased him, he would run away immediately." , as if playing hide-and-seek, but no matter how much Lu Bu chased him, he was still unable to catch up with Li Yuanjun.

"Is it an hour so soon?" Li Yuan didn't expect the time to pass so quickly. If Zhao Yun didn't remind him, he wouldn't know that an hour had passed.

"Yes brother."

"Junior Brother, do you think it's possible that Han Sheng and the others haven't dealt with Hou Cheng yet?" Li Yuan was a little worried. After all, Hou Cheng still had 5000 people there, which is quite a number. It was too late. If they went back and the battle was not over, it would be like giving Lv Bu a chance. As soon as Lv Bu and Zhang Liao came back, the combat power of the soldiers and horses would immediately rise to a higher level.

"Of course not, Han Shengzhi is far superior to me, more than enough to deal with Hou Cheng, and Cao Cao is there to assist, with more troops than Hou Cheng, if there is no accident, the battle there should have ended." Zhao Yun knew Huang Zhong He is so powerful, whether it is martial arts or the ability to lead troops in combat, he is no less than him.

"I'm worried because Cao Cao is here." In fact, Li Yuan was more worried about Cao Cao.

"Cao Cao? Brother, why are you worried about Cao Cao? Isn't he our ally?" Zhao Yun asked puzzled.

"Although he has formed an alliance with Cao Cao, Cao Cao is treacherous and cunning, and Guo Jia is extremely smart. I am afraid that he will deliberately wait for Han Sheng and Hou Cheng to lose both before killing them all." Based on Li Yuan's understanding of Cao Cao, he thought It is really possible for the other party to do such a thing.

"Brother, are you worrying too much? Cao Cao probably wouldn't do this." Zhao Yun still vaguely remembered that Cao Cao supported Li Yuan several times when he was in the princes' meeting, so he had a good impression of Cao Cao, and he thought Cao Cao was not like this people.

"Junior Brother, don't be careless. Cao Cao is not a simple person. A cunning person is not scary, and a smart person is not scary, but a smart, cunning, and ambitious person must be more careful."

Li Yuan reminded Zhao Yun not to imagine Cao Cao so simply. After all, there is a very good evaluation of Cao Cao in history, that is, "a capable minister who governs the world, and a traitor in troubled times". He didn't really attract everyone's attention. As long as he is getting more and more wings, he will definitely be a figure of the overlord level, and it will be too late to pay attention at that time.

"Yes, Senior Brother." Zhao Yun nodded. He knew that Li Yuan was always accurate in seeing people, so he paid more attention to Cao Cao in his heart.

"Okay, let's go back, I hope Cao Cao will not break his promise." Li Yuan led the cavalry around a circle and went back the same way.

Lu Bu, who was following behind, saw Li Yuan suddenly change direction, and he led his soldiers and horses to change direction together. Anyway, he would follow Li Yuan firmly. At this time, he was about [-] steps away from Li Yuan. In terms of horsepower, whether it is close or not, it is just enough to see, but it is not easy to catch up.

"Master, this is not right." Zhang Liao felt something was wrong.

"What's wrong?" Lu Bu asked back.

"Li Yuan has been leading us around in circles, and now he ran back the same way. Could it be a fraud?" Zhang Liao felt that Li Yuan led them around on purpose, but he couldn't understand why Li Yuan did this.

"Hmph, run back and run back. I didn't see any ambushes along the way. Presumably they would not dare to ambush us. We are all cavalry, and ambushes are meaningless to us." Lu Bu was not worried, but the chasing After staying with Li Yuan for more than an hour, even he felt a little tired. In addition, he had fought with Li Yuan for [-] rounds before, and his physical strength was very exhausting. Fortunately, it was him, and it would have fallen apart if it was someone else.

In this way, Lu Bu chased Li Yuan for another half an hour, and gradually entered the place where Huang Zhong and Cao Cao ambush Hou Cheng.

A gust of wind passed by relentlessly, the sky was covered with dark clouds, and the dense black clouds gave people an invisible pressure, which made people breathless. The originally cloudless sky changed at any time, and several blue lightning bolts continued between the clouds. Flashing, as if to tear the sky apart before being reconciled.

The wind was getting stronger and stronger, and the manes of the horses were blown up. Li Yuan and the others happened to be walking against the wind. place things.

"My lord, the wind is wrong." Zhang Liao carefully smelled the smell in the wind.

This time Lu Bu did not deny Zhang Liao's idea, because even he noticed something was wrong. They were traveling against the wind, and the wind that wafted in carried a bloody smell, which proved that the place ahead must have experienced something. battle.

"What have you experienced before, and why there is such a strong smell of blood." Lu Bu, who had been fighting for a long time, could see the clue.

"Oops, we were only focused on chasing Li Yuan, but we forgot Hou Cheng who was following us. Could it be that they encountered an ambush?"

Zhang Liao suddenly came to an epiphany, and the more he thought about it, the more something was wrong. It stands to reason that they had been chasing Li Yuan for so long, and half of the ambush soldiers were still missing. After waiting for a long time, he hadn't seen Cao Jun yet. Apart from ambushing Hou Cheng, he couldn't think of where else Cao Cao could go.

Hearing this, Lu Bu felt that what Zhang Liao said was reasonable. Suddenly, he saw Li Yuanjun in front slowly slowing down, and finally stopped. Seeing such a big wave of his hand, Lu Bu's three thousand Bingzhou cavalry also stopped, although he was impulsive. , but not stupid, if Zhang Liao hadn't said that, he would have chased after him without hesitation, but now the situation is different, and if he pursued blindly, he might fall into the trap.

At this time, the distance between Li Yuanjun and Lu Bujun was very close, and Lu Bu could even see the faces of the soldiers and horses on the opposite side clearly.

Li Yuan turned around and came to the front of the formation, looked at Lu Bu on the opposite side and laughed, "Didn't you have fun chasing Lu Bu, why don't you continue to catch up?"

"You!" Lu Bu was provoked by Li Yuan, and he thought about leading his troops to fight Li Yuan immediately.

"My lord, don't be fooled. Li Yuan deliberately used aggressive tactics." Zhang Liao quickly restrained Lu Bula, telling him not to be impulsive.

At this time, countless soldiers suddenly appeared on the mountain behind Li Yuan, shouting one after another. On the left side, there were 5000 soldiers led by Huang Zhong himself. Cao Hong guarded Cao Cao with 2 troops. Cao Cao's remaining troops should have been 2000, but he left [-] to guard the prisoners, so he did not take them all down the mountain.
