It is precisely because of this that Cao Cao even ordered all the ministries to prepare for a deadly battle. If they could not return to Xinye City to join forces with the princes this time, the princes would definitely be unable to stop them in the next time. Liu Rui's army, and Cao Cao's army is now exhausted, if it can't be effectively rested, I am afraid that when the time comes, Liu Rui's army will not even have the strength to escape.

It's just that Liu Rui didn't pay attention to Cao Cao at all, and even when Xinye City sent troops and horses out of the city to meet Cao Cao, Liu Rui didn't do anything.

It's not that Liu Rui is unwilling, but the soldiers and horses under his command must rest.You must know that the cavalry led by Liu Rui has been rushing and raiding since last night. First, they chased and killed Cao Cao's cavalry all the way, chasing Cao Cao for several hundred miles, and then gradually withdrew their troops. Cao Cao, who was scared, did not dare to turn back.

By the time Cao Cao reacted, Liu Rui had already led his troops back into the ambush circle, perfectly cooperating with Zhao Yun, Guo Jia's army, and crippling Liu Bei's Sun Ce and Lu Bu's troops.

Chasing and killing all the way is very easy to say, but it also completely overdraws the physical strength of the entire army.At least at this moment, except for the tiger and leopard cavalry directly under Liu Rui's command, which still kept its combat power, the rest of the cavalry had already begun to rest in the camp.Qiankun Tingshu Network www.qktsw.com

Liu Rui's camp is not far from Xinye City, and even from the top of Xinye City, you can see the situation in Liu Rui's camp, but Liu Bei, Sun Ce and Lu Bu did not dare to make any changes, not to mention They sent people to sneak attack, and even the scouts didn't dare to release them, for fear that they would annoy Liu Rui and attract Liu Rui's army to besiege him.

It was also with Liu Rui's tacit approval that Liu Bei and others were able to successfully bring Cao Cao's army to Xinye City, but after seeing Cao Cao's cavalry army, Liu Bei and others were dumbfounded.

They were besieged by Liu Rui and Guo Jia and Zhao Yun on both sides in the ambush circle, and then they were slaughtered wildly by Huo Qubing led by the light cavalry, which caused nearly half of the damage.However, Cao Cao's cavalry was so powerful that even if he couldn't beat him, he could escape far away. How could there be such a big battle loss?

What surprised Liu Bei the most was that Cao Cao's head had a large chunk of hair shaved off, and he could vaguely see his white scalp, which looked extremely funny.If it wasn't for Liu Bei's bad mood now, I'm afraid he would have made fun of Cao Cao.

With doubts in his head, remembering the many complaints of Lv Bu and Sun Ce before, Liu Bei suppressed his doubts, looked at Cao Cao and hurriedly asked, "Meng De, how could there be such a big loss?"

Cao Cao let out a long sigh, then waved his hand and said, "Let's go back first, and I'll tell you in detail after I've settled down on my troops and horses."

Seeing Cao Cao like this, Liu Bei could only nod helplessly, and then went back to wait quietly. Not only Liu Bei, but Sun Ce and Lu Bu also came to Liu Bei's tent after getting the news, waiting for Cao Cao's explanation.

After Cao Cao returned to the camp and arranged for his troops, Jia Xu hurriedly found Cao Cao. As soon as they met, Xi Zhicai couldn't help but say: "My lord, if Liu Xuande asks you to reveal Jia Xu's poisonous scheme later You can't admit it anyway!"

Cao Cao was stunned. After he showed off this matter at the time, he originally wanted to suppress Liu Rui's limelight, but Cao Cao knew the consequences of doing so, and now he regrets it a lot, but what caught Cao Cao's surprise was that Liu Bei Why would anyone know that he leaked it.On second thought, Cao Cao also understood that Liu Rui did it.Immediately, Cao Cao nodded and said, "Don't worry about Zhicai, I know the importance of it."

Seeing that Cao Cao didn't take it to heart, Xi Zhicai hurriedly repeated what Lü Bu had sworn. After Cao Cao heard it, he was speechless.His momentary gaffe made Liu Bei, Sun Ce and Lü Bu lose face in front of the three armies, so it's no wonder that Lü Bu didn't hate him Cao Cao.

However, Cao Cao has experienced enough things today. He just nodded and went to find Liu Bei, Sun Ce and Lu Bu.

Unexpectedly, after Cao Cao stepped into Liu Bei's tent, Lü Bu rushed up with a quick stride, grabbed Cao Cao, and shouted: "Cao Mengde, you leaked Jia Xu's poison, but let me throw it all away. How could I, Lu Bu, have such an experience without you, a idiot!"

Lu Bu's reaction immediately caused Cao Cao's heart to shudder, but who is Cao Cao, although he felt a little guilty in his heart, but his face was full of anger: "Lu Fengxian, what do you want to do? Do you want to go to war with me, Qingzhou Gunzhou?"

The first sentence the two met was tit-for-tat, when Lu Bu saw Cao Cao's refusal to admit it, he even sneered: "Cao Mengde, Cao Mengde, if you didn't reveal Jia Xu's poisonous plan, why would Liu Rui take this as a threat? We swear?"

Cao Cao pretended to be suddenly enlightened, as if he had just heard such a thing, and even sneered: "You idiot, Liu Rui is extremely treacherous, how do you know that he is not cheating on you?"

Lu Bu was stunned for a moment, subconsciously thinking of Liu Rui's countless strategies in his usual days, and looking at Cao Cao's unpretentious expression, for a time, even he himself doubted whether he had wronged Cao Cao.

Lu Bu couldn't see it, but Liu Bei and Sun Ce next to him were both human beings. They looked at each other and knew that Cao Cao was planning to kill him and refused to admit it.

Immediately, Liu Bei said indifferently: "Meng De, when you set off, you had [-] soldiers and horses. How could you encounter such a fiasco? You should give everyone an explanation!" , . . .

Liu Bei's words also made Cao Cao breathe a sigh of relief in his heart.If nothing else, at least the disclosure of Jia Xu's poisonous plan made Cao Cao a fool.

"Fengxian, I don't know how that Liu Rui bewitched you, but we are an alliance now. If you don't even believe what I say, Cao Mengde, then you can leave here!" Cao Cao looked at the man who was still holding his collar. Lu Bu just opened his mouth and said.

Lu Bu, on the other hand, looked at Cao Cao suspiciously, and then turned to look at Liu Bei and Sun Ce. When he saw that both of them were shaking their heads slightly, Lu Bu let go of his grip.

However, although Lu Bu let go, he pressed him again: "Your [-] cavalry had originally agreed to come back to help us ambushed after the rebellion was crushed. Didn't come back for reinforcements?"

Cao Cao didn't answer, he just tidied up his clothes, and then sat down next to Liu Bei, Sun Ce and the others, and said in a low voice, "Xuande, it was Pang Tong under your command who was in charge of visiting the horse to find out the news. !"

Liu Bei nodded his head and admitted it.But Cao Cao looked at Lu Bu again, and said, "Fengxian, those scouts who visit horses are all the elites you have cultivated!"

Lu Bu snorted, but did not object.Seeing the expressions of the two of them, Cao Cao grinned and looked at Sun Ce, then said, "Bo Fu, come and judge, how did Liu Rui's [-] cavalry escape from under our noses to the camp of the rebel army. The one who ambushed me? Where did the rebel army go?"

Sun Ce was stunned for a moment, and then he said in shock, "Liu Rui ambushed you in the rebel camp?"

Cao Cao nodded heavily, and then sighed: "Liu Rui dug countless trenches in the camp of the rebel army, and after I rushed into the camp, he set fire to trap my army inside, and I desperately tried to die. Just escaped!"

Having said this, Cao Cao's eyes turned red, and he roared: "In order to break through those flame trenches, countless soldiers can only use the corpses of war horses to fill up those flame trenches with hundreds of thousands of cavalrymen. I was able to escape! I won't ask anything else, I just want to ask you Liu Xuande and Lu Fengxian, how did you get your information? I won't talk about Liu Rui's cavalry, but what about the [-] horses of the rebel army? Isn't it going to heaven?"

Liu Bei and Lü Bu originally accused Cao Cao, but now, they were asked by Cao Cao and were speechless.After pondering for a while, Liu Beicai sighed: "Meng De, this time we all fell into Liu Rui's trap! Previously, Shiyuan, in order to ensure that this ambush was safe, he dropped all the scouts on the horses. Around the ambush circle, you should also understand this matter!"

"Understand? I can understand. How do the seven or eighty thousand soldiers who have died understand it? Just because of your understanding, my iron cavalry suffered heavy casualties?" Extremely angry.

Liu Bei didn't say anything. He glanced at Cao Cao a few times and knew that Cao Cao was just pretending. If nothing else, Cao Cao's eyes were still very calm. Based on this alone, Liu Bei could conclude that Cao Cao was just pretending. angry.

It's just that Lu Bu didn't know at all, he originally came to seek Cao Cao's bad luck, but who knows that now he was hit by Cao Cao in turn, and even said angrily: "Cao Mengde, you obviously lost the battle yourself, now I want to put the blame on us..."

Who knew that before Lu Bu finished speaking, Cao Cao raised his head and sneered: "Have you lost the battle? Could it be that you, Lu Feng, won first?"

Lu Bu was stunned for a moment. He had absolutely no way to refute Cao Cao. He was stunned for a while, not knowing what to say, so he could only growl: "We are defeated, so what?"

After saying this, Lu Bu stood proudly, as if it was a matter of course.Lu Bu's unreasonable approach actually made Cao Cao speechless.Many of the rhetoric that were originally prepared were now gently swallowed by Cao Cao.Peerless Tangmen www.jueshitangmen.info

"Okay, stop arguing!" Liu Bei frowned and gave a light drink, and then told Cao Cao in detail about the ambush of the feudal lords.

After he finished speaking, Liu Bei sighed: "Meng De, if you could come back at that time, maybe the situation of this battle would have been completely changed. At least our army would not suffer so much loss."

Cao Cao was silent. He was chased and killed by Liu Rui for hundreds of miles at the time. After fleeing all the way, he realized that Liu Rui had lied to him, but even if Cao Cao hurried back, it would still be of no avail.

Under Liu Bei's questioning, Cao Cao also recounted the experience of the cavalry army, but he concealed his several mistakes in judgment. Instead, he exaggerated Liu Rui's army.

Liu Bei and Sun Ce could naturally hear what Cao Cao said, and when Cao Cao said about Zhao Yun, he also made the princes sigh.The fierce generals under Liu Rui are like clouds, but this Zhao Yun is one of the strongest who can definitely be ranked in the front.

After a long time, Liu Bei said in a low voice: "Three, our current strength has been halved, and there is absolutely no way to compete with Liu Rui's army. Now the only plan is to stick to Xinye and wait for the opportunity!"

"What Xuande said is very true. This time we suffered a big loss, but we did not lose completely. As long as we rest for a while, we will definitely be able to compete with that Liu Rui again in the future!" Cao Cao also said.

"Okay! Since both Xuande and Mengde have such ambitions, then Jiangdong will accompany me to the end. If Liu Rui is not destroyed, Jiangdong will not retreat for a day!" Sun Ce also shouted through gritted teeth.

After the three of them all expressed their opinions, they all looked at Lu Bu, who was on the side, and Lu Bu seemed to be immersed in hatred for Cao Cao, and was staring at Cao Cao at the moment.
