Chapter 59 Sun Caohe defeated Liu Bei and Nan Ye asked Sun Quan 6

Cao Zhen and Cao Xiu's two generals were not strong when they saw Zhang Fei's break, but led the army behind Zhang Fei, like a group of hungry wolves. When Zhang Fei was relaxed, they would rush up and take a bite.

When Zhang Fei saw Cao Jun following him, he stayed in the rear guard. After moving forward for several miles, suddenly the front army was in chaos. Cao Chun led the tiger and leopard cavalry and many Cao soldiers to rush into Zhang Fei's army.

Cao Cao's tiger and leopard riding were almost damaged in the Red Cliff War. Cao Chun led this team of tiger and leopard riding was later reorganized by Cao Pi, with only a few hundred people, but the equipment and power were not inferior to before. Cao Chun led the tiger and leopard horse to disperse Zhang Fei's formation and ordered Cao Bing to kill Zhang Fei's soldiers.

When Zhang Fei saw the chaos of the former army, he had to kill again. Cao Xiu and Cao Zhen took the opportunity to hang Zhang Fei's rear team. When Zhang Fei led his army to break through the front and rear siege, more than half of the 30,000 troops had been damaged.

When Cao Chun, Cao Xiu and Cao Zhen saw Zhang Fei leading the remnants into the city, they came to see Sima Yi to return the results. Cao Chun was a little annoyed and said, "If the governor has an ambush under the city and prepares a strong bow and hard crossbow, he will definitely be able to capture and kill Zhang Fei."

Sima Yi smiled and said, "If I really ambushed under the city, Sun Qian in the city will abandon the city and lead troops out of the city to save Zhang Fei..."

Before Sima Yi finished speaking, Cao Xiu said, "Then can't I take the opportunity to seize the city?"

Sima Yi shook his head and said, "Why is it difficult to get a city and a place? I just want to save Zhang Fei's life to attract Liu Bei and Guan Yu. The three of them have a good relationship. How can they sit and watch Zhang Feicheng be captured?

Cao Chun vaguely heard about Sima Yi's alliance with Zhou Yu outside the account that day, so he said, "Wouldn't the governor lure Liu Bei and Guan Yu out to take advantage of Sun Quan in vain?" No matter how much I contribute here, I have to merge with one place, and Sun Quan can get Yanzhou and Yuzhou. How unfair this is.

Sima Yi smiled and said, "How can there be such a cheap thing? Liu Bei is based in Yuzhou. If he is not defeated by Sun Quan, he will definitely ask Nanye for help. At that time, Nan Ye and Sun Quan competed, and Sun Quan may not be able to take the land of the two states.

Cao Zhen smiled and said, "It turned out that the governor used the hand of Sun Quan to block Nan Ye's soldiers. What a wonderful plan!"

As soon as the words fell, there was a horse outside the account to report: "Liu Bei has troops to help, 50 miles away from the city!"

Cao Chun smiled and said, "Liu Bei is really here!"

Sima Yi asked carefully, "Who can lead the army?" How many military horses are there?

Tang Ma reported: "There are about 50,000 enemy soldiers, and the Shuaiqi's book is a word 'Chen'."

Cao Xiu doubted: "It's not Liu Bei's leader. I just don't know who is surnamed Chen under Liu Bei's command?"

Sima Yi said, "It must be Chen. This person has no reputation, but he is extremely loyal, brave and resourceful, and should not be underestimated.

Cao Zhen said disapprovingly, "I heard that this person often follows Liu Bei and specializes in keeping Liu Bei's family. Zhang Fei is Liu Bei's brother-in-law. If Zhang Fei is at a loss, Chen can't afford to suffer. I expected that Chen would be anxious at this time. Why didn't the governor set up troops and horses to him?

The strategy is not about the old and the new, but the key is to be easy to use. Encircling and assisting is a very classic tactic. Sima Yi felt that even if the strategy could not be done, it would not be a big deal, so he ordered the three generals to go to ambush again.

Chen is steady, not as reckless as Zhang Fei. He understood a truth: delay matters urgently to avoid changes over time. Urgent matters should be slowed down to avoid mistakes in a hurry. Now that Jinyang is besieged and Zhang Fei is in danger, Liu Bei urges Chen to go to the rescue as soon as possible. But the more critical it was, the more Chen warned himself not to panic. As soon as he entered the boundary of Bingzhou, Chen ordered the soldiers to go slowly and sent a large number of probing horses to explore the way in front of him.

Along the way, Chen did not meet a Cao's ambush, but he did not relax his vigilance, because he knew that the closer he was to Jinyang, the greater the probability of Cao's ambush. The horse sent by Sima Yi did not escape Chen's eyes, because there was Chen's horse on the way to Cao's horse. However, Chen did not startle the snake and let Cao Jun explore the horse, and his own horse was not exposed.

It is precisely because of Chen's carefulness that when Cao Chun, Cao Xiu and Cao Zhen set up an ambush, Chen received the news immediately.

At this time, the old grain is exhausted, and the new grain is not ripe, and the weather is crazy. In ancient times, there were no electric fans and air conditioners. Ordinary people find a shaded fan, which is the best way to cool down. Whoever bases in the sun for a day will peel off even if he doesn't die.

Cao Xiu patted and killed a blood-sucking mosquito that fell on his arm, and the body of the mosquito that was patted into a meat pie suddenly stuck to Cao Xiu's sweaty arm. At this time, Cao Xiu was already sweating all over, sticky and indescribable uncomfortable, but his lips were dry and cracked, and his throat seemed to be angry. A small mosquito made Cao Xiu's long-accumulated anger burst out. He complained loudly, "Why didn't Chen come yet? I'll just kill along the road!"

The deputy general beside him could understand Cao Xiu's mood. Chen, who should have arrived a long ago, let the ambush Cao Bing wait under the hot sun for a day, and many Cao soldiers fainted from heatstroke. According to reason, Chen should climb even if he climbs, but he just can't. The deputy general thinks that Chen should change his name to be late. Cao Bing, who was ambushed in the grass, not only had to endure the heat, but also had to endure the bites of mosquitoes. No wonder Cao Xiu, who had not suffered much, would be angry.

When the deputy general saw that Cao Xiu was angry, he did not dare to persuade him or persuade him. If he was asked to choose, he would rather rush out to fight with the enemy instead of waiting here to suffer. Suddenly, he saw that there seemed to be dust rising on the road in the distance. He took a closer look to make sure that he was right. At that time, he was happy and said, "General, Chen is here!"

Cao Xiu didn't expect that he would really come when he complained. If he knew so, he would have complained long ago. After ordering the already relaxed soldiers to hide their bodies, Cao Xiu began to observe Chen's people. It doesn't matter if you don't look at it. It will make Cao Xiu very happy. It turned out that the appearance of the soldiers behind him was even worse than that of Cao Jun, who had been basking all day. They were listless, and they were all open-minded and kept fanning the wind with their armor. Even Chen's appearance is not much better, and his sweaty state seems to fall from the horse at any time.

"Where did they go? It seems that I have walked for a day. Could it be that I got lost halfway? Vice General Cao Xiu said doubtfully.

Cao Xiu didn't know where Chen led the army, but he knew that this was a good opportunity to defeat the enemy. So he whispered, "Don't speak loudly! Listen to my order."

Chen led the soldiers on the road and didn't seem to notice the ambush of Cao's army at all. However, not far from the ambush, Chen suddenly stopped and took out the water bag from the immediately. It seemed that he was too thirsty to drink water.

Cao Xiu saw Chen holding a water bag and pouring his neck up into his mouth for a long time, but only a few drops of water entered his mouth. Then Chen seemed to curse something and turned down. Soon a soldier ran to Chen and handed him a water bag. Chen took the water bag and poured a breath, and then said a few words to the soldier behind him. Then all the soldiers of the Northern Han Dynasty stopped and began to take water and drink water to rest on the spot.

Seeing that Chen, who was about to enter the encirclement, went to rest in place, Cao Xiu's hurry did not mention it. Although he and Cao Zhen's original plan was to let Chen go to the front army and attack Chen to the central army. But who knows when Chen will rest? Instead of waiting for Chen to recover his physical strength, it is better to rush out at this time and catch Chen's army off guard. If Chen can be captured and killed, it will be much better than killing a few more soldiers in the attack.

Cao Xiu wanted to lead the army to kill, but he didn't know how to inform Cao Zhen to cooperate with him. I want to send someone to inform Cao Zhen on the opposite side, but I'm afraid that Chen will find the messengers. Just as Cao Xiu hesitated, suddenly there was a shout of killing on the opposite side. Cao Zhen had led his troops and rushed to Chen, who was resting.

Cao Xiu scolded himself in his heart, "Idiot!" What else is there to discuss at such a close distance? One person will naturally cooperate with the other. He turned over his horse, waved his gun, and led the soldiers to rush to Chen together.

Chen seemed to be stunned by the sudden appearance of two Cao soldiers, but he turned over and turned his head and ran away. Those soldiers sitting on the ground resting also followed Chen to the wilderness and fled, not even weapons and flags. There were even a lot of helmets and armor scattered on the ground. Obviously, some soldiers were so hot that they took off their armor. It is not an exaggeration to use the word "losing armor" to describe the Northern Han army and horses under Chen's command.

After Cao Zhen and Cao Xiu led the army to kill, they only saw Chen's back, thinking that this person had no ability and could run fast. The two generals have a good heart and lead the army to chase after them. There is a saying that you can run away from the monk, but you can't run away from the temple. Chen to lead the former army to run back, bound to collide with the Chinese army. If the Chinese army runs back to collide with the rear army, the Northern Han army will retreat on the whole line. Cao Zhen and Cao Xiu felt that they had made great contributions and pursued harder when they thought of defeating Liu Bei's reinforcements with their strength.

Cao Jun was exposed to the sun for a whole day from sunrise to sunset at this time. In order to ensure the concealment of the ambush, they dare not drink more, eat more, or relieve themselves. Up to now, Cao Bing is thirsty, hungry, hot and tired, and still holding his shit. It's okay for Cao Zhen and Cao Xiu to have horses. Ordinary Cao soldiers really can't chase them, and it's getting slower and slower to chase them for just a period of time.

No matter how brave Cao Zhen and Cao Xiu are, they dare not rely on two people to fight against tens of thousands of troops. They can only slow down and wait for Cao's army to catch up. Fortunately, Chen Da and his subordinates also had no strength and ran much faster than Cao Bing, and they had been wandering in the sight of Cao Zhen and Cao Xiu.

When Chen saw that Cao Jun had been chasing him, he couldn't help laughing in his heart and suppressed his speed while running. He was neither too close nor too far from Cao Bing behind him, leading Cao Bing to a mountain pass.

Cao Zhen chased and found that there was something wrong. According to reason, the people and horses should be evenly distributed on the whole road. If the former army was defeated, it should crash into the rear army all the way. However, Cao Zhen found that except for Chen's soldiers throwing their helmets and armor at the beginning, he did not see the weapons and flags abandoned by the people of the Northern Han Dynasty all the way. So where did Chen go to the Chinese army and the rear army?

Cao Zhen, who suddenly woke up, grabbed the war horse and said to Cao Xiu, "Wen Lie, don't chase him again! Be careful!"

Cao Xiu saw that Cao Zhen suddenly stopped the horse and couldn't react, and rushed out for a while before pulling the horse back. As soon as he was about to ask Cao Zhen what was wrong, he heard the shouts of killing on both sides of the mountain pass, and countless Northern Han soldiers came out. Chen, who had been running away in front of him, pulled back at the same time, leading the army to kill.
