Chapter 52 Liu Biao died in Jingzhou Cao Liusun fought against Chibi (35
The mountains are high and the moon is small and the water is vast, sighing that the previous dynasty was busy. Nanshi had no intention to welcome Wei Wu, and the east wind was interested in Zhou Lang. Just as Zhou Yu led Cheng Pu, Han Dang and other generals to destroy the Cao soldiers in the water village, the Cao army in the dry village was also suddenly attacked by Zhou Tai.
If Caoying's water village was destroyed by Huang Gai's fraudulent surrender, the dry village was chaotic because of Zhou Tai's fraudulent surrender. Zhou Tai went all the way to the depths of Caozhai under the guidance of Cai Zhong, and no one stopped him. Until Zhou Tai saw the place where Cao stored grain, he cut Cai Zhong under the horse and led the soldiers to set fire on the grain pile.
Lv Meng looked at Cao's camp from afar and began to set fire to Zhou Tai on the periphery. After the fire broke out inside and outside Cao's camp, Ling Cao, Pan Zhang and Dong Xi set fire separately and shouted, and the sound of drums in all was shocked, which made Cao Bing collapse.
Cao Cao's dry village had more than 200,000 people. If he reacted and organized reasonably, he would not be so embarrassed by the generals in Jiangdong. The key is that Cao Cao and the generals went to the water village. Together with the fire of the dry village, the generals of the dry village all went to the shore to pick up. As a result, there were no soldiers in the dry village. When the grain and grass were burned, they trampled on each other and died. There are countless. Lv Meng and other generals did not attack Cao's camp, so they made Cao's camp in chaos.
After Cao Cao, who managed to escape from the water village, was protected by the generals and went ashore, he collected the turbulent army and quickly gathered thousands of people. At this time, Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan came to pick up the tiger and leopard. Cao Cao said with peace when he saw his cronies, "Zhou Yu's plan can't stay for a long time today. I don't know where to go?"
Xiahou Dun said, "Only Wulin Road is empty and feasible."
Cao Cao did not dare to hesitate and led his troops straight to Wulin. Not far away, an army behind him arrived and shouted, "Cao Thief, don't go!" Cao Cao looked back and saw the Lv Meng flag in the firelight. Cao Cao did not dare to fall in love with the war. Liu Lejin led 3,000 soldiers and horses to resist Lv Meng and led the army forward.
Suddenly, the fire in front of him rose again, and an army gushed out of the valley, and the first general shouted, "Ling Cao is here!"
Cao Cao was so scared that his liver and courage were cracked. He was about to arrange to break the descendants. A Biao army arrived and shouted: "The Prime Minister, don't panic! Gao Lan is here!" After the two armies fought in a scuffle, Cao Cao seized the road to the north.
Not far away. Cao Cao saw an army stationed in front of the hillside. Xiahou Dun was about to lead the troops to fight, and he saw that the opposite side was also under the banner of Cao Jun. It was Cao Ren who gathered the chaotic army here. Cao Cao saw that Cao Ren had gathered a lot of people and horses, and his heart was a little calm, but just as he was about to come forward to ask questions, he shouted again, and another army came out. As the leader, the general shouted, "I'm Zhou Tai in Jiangdong. Cao Thieves came to die quickly!"
Cao Ren didn't have time to answer Cao Cao and said, "Lord, go quickly, and I will meet the enemy here!" After saying that, he led the army to fight with Zhou Tai. Cao Cao and the generals plucked their horses and left.
Cao Cao expected soldiers and horses to rescue in the direction of Heqi, but Zu Mao had already blocked the intersection of Heqi and cut off Cao Cao's reinforcements. At this time, Zu Mao saw that Cao Bing had fled, so he raised his name. Sun Quan's follow-up men happened to catch up and came together with Zu Mao to fight Cao Cao. Seeing that many soldiers and horses in Jiangdong had to order Li Dian and Man Chong to lead the soldiers, Cao Cao led the tiger and leopard to ride in the direction of Yiling.
This night, Cao Cao fought and retreated, and the faces of the group were full of smoke and fire. Looking back at the firelight, Cao Cao was a little relieved and asked, "Where is this?"
Xiahou Yuan looked at the terrain and said, "This should be the west of Wulin and the north of Yidu."
Cao Cao laughed on his back when he saw the steep mountains and rivers here. At this time, the generals were all gray-faced. They really didn't know what was funny, so they asked, "Why did the Prime Minister laugh?"
Cao Cao lost soldiers and soldiers that night, hundreds of thousands of people burned, and there was only bitterness in his heart. If he changed others, it would be good not to cry at this time, and he could not laugh at all. Cao Cao was dejected when he saw the soldiers behind him, and his military spirit was depressed that he forced a smile and encouraged morale: "I don't laugh at others, I only laugh at Zhou Yu's resourcefulness and Zhuge Liang's young wisdom. Wouldn't it be awesome if I came to use troops and ambush here in advance?
Before the words fell, the sound of drums on both sides shook the sky, and the fire was everywhere, which shocked Cao Cao almost fell off his horse. Behind the mountain, a military horse came out, and the leader of the leopard's head was wrapped around his eyes. The black-faced steel man shouted strangely, "I, Zhang Yide, have been ordered by Kong Ming's military commander. I have been waiting here for a long time!"
Zhang Fei's deterrent power is much stronger than that of Jiangdong generals before. Cao Cao did not dare to be careless and directly ordered Xu Chu to lead 2,000 tigers and leopards to meet the enemy. When Zhang Fei saw Xu Chu's big waist and round eyes, he knew that the other party was a fierce general and stabbed with eight snake spears.
Xu Chu showed no weakness and waved a phoenix-mouthed knife to fight against Zhang Fei. As soon as the two fought, they used all their strength, shouting the wind with a knife and a spear, surrounded by sand and stones. The two men were encouraged by the general and fought in a place. Although the tiger and leopard cavalry was elite, Zhang Fei's men were not weak. In addition, the number was twice as many as the tiger and leopard cavalry, and the two sides encountered a difficult battle.
When Cao Cao saw that Xu Chu stopped Zhang Fei, he hurriedly took the opportunity to escape. Cao Jun traveled for a few miles and saw that the sky was slightly bright. The night passed and the dawn was coming, just like the mood of Cao's generals, which made everyone sigh of relief.
Just as Cao Yingzhong thought it was dangerous and safety was coming, suddenly black clouds covered the ground, and the heavy rain poured down and soaked their clothes. This sudden rainstorm made the soldiers who fought all night more tired, and the good mood of escaping from death disappeared.
Cao Cao felt that the road ahead was difficult when he was drenched in the rain. Before he could relax, he urged the soldiers to walk through the rain. The tiger and leopard rode worthy of being the elite in the army. Although he was soaked at this time and was blown by the cold wind in the southeast, no one complained. However, no one complains that it doesn't mean that they are not cold, tired or hungry, and the hunger on the faces of the soldiers is still difficult to hide.
A heavy rain came and went quickly. Cao Cao's bad foreboding to retreat a little when he saw that the rain was sunny and there were no pursuers. He ordered the soldiers to go to the surrounding villages to plunder food, look for fire, and prepare to bury the pot to make rice. At this time, Cao Cao had no intention of robbing the people, and the livelihood of the people was not as important as the elite soldiers under his command.
Just as Cao Cao was waiting for the return of the looting troops, a rear army arrived. It turned out that Xu Chu, Li Dian and others gathered here after completing the task. Cao Cao was slightly relieved to see that although most of the generals were injured and there were only dozens of soldiers left, but none of them died. After the looting soldiers came back, Cao Cao asked, "Where is the boundary to go forward?"
Xiahou Dun said, "There are two roads ahead, one is the South Yiling Road and the other is the North Yiling Mountain Road."
Cao Cao asked again, "Where is the closest to Jiangling?" Where can I rest and make food?"
Xiahou Dun said, "It's close to Jiangling through the Hulukou to the south. There is a river nearby that just takes water and rests."
When Cao heard this, he encouraged the soldiers and said, "It is inconvenient to rest in the mountains and forests here. We will try our best to move forward and stay at the mouth of the gourd in front of us to have a full meal and rest."
The soldiers did not dare to disobey Cao's military order, and saw that Cao Cao did not eat, drink or rest, so they temporarily endured hunger and continued to move forward, hoping that they could have a full meal and sleep at the mouth of the gourd. At this moment, eating and sleeping has become the biggest dream of these defeated soldiers.
