Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    When Cao Cao saw that Zhang Liao was so rampant in his army, he was not angry but happy. He quickly called many generals around him to capture Zhang Liao.  Five generals of Cao's army came out in response, each taking his own way to capture Zhang Liao.  The two generals arrived first and came to kill him. Zhang Liao had just broken through a group of men and was about to attack the two of them. Fang Tian drew his halberd to the right and hit General Cao Jun on the right in the chest. General Cao Jun immediately fell off his horse.  The general Cao Jun on the left was furious when he saw this and slashed Zhang Liao's right arm with his sword.  Zhang Liao quickly drew back Fang Tian's painted halberd, blocking and stabbing him, and then stabbed a general of Cao's army off his horse.  Zhang Liao defeated two generals, but before he could recover, three more generals came to kill him from three directions, and most of Cao's army surged up from behind.  Zhang Liao shouted loudly, turned around and killed the soldiers first, as if breaking through a bloody path, waiting for the three generals behind him to kill them.  Zhang Liao suddenly struck back with his halberd, hitting one of the generals. The other two generals were shocked. Zhang Liao kept drawing his halberd, stabbing left and slashing at the right, and knocked two generals of Cao's army off their horses.

    When Cao Cao saw Zhang Liao displaying great power and invincibility, he became more possessive in his heart. He even galloped forward and shouted to Zhang Liao.

    "Zhang Wenyuan, you are a hero of the world. With your martial arts skills, if you are willing to surrender, I will grant you the title of king in the past! Wen Bufan's life is at stake. There are powerful enemies in Hanoi, Bingzhou, and Dongchuan.  The situation will collapse sooner or later. Why should you follow him with all your heart!¡±

    As soon as Cao Cao finished speaking, Zhang Liao suddenly galloped towards Cao Cao.  The soldiers did not know what Zhang Liao's intention was, and they did not know how to stop him for a while.  When Cao Cao turned to the side of the ban, he saw Zhang Liao's sword eyes full of murderous intent, and he suddenly exclaimed.

    "Hurry up and protect the Prime Minister!!!!"

    After Yu Jin called out, he immediately picked up his bow, loaded his arrows, and fired a series of arrows, regardless of Cao Cao's order.  At the same time, Cao Cao saw Zhang Liao charging towards him with murderous intent, so he fled back to the rear in embarrassment.  Zhang Liao hurriedly drew his halberd to resist, but all the arrows fired at the forbidden place were blocked.

    Yu Jin hurriedly drew his bow to shoot. Seeing that Cao Cao had escaped, Zhang Liao did not dare to do anything rashly and quickly drew his horse back to charge.  Cao Cao's good intentions only provoked Zhang Liao's murderous intent.  But Cao Cao was worthy of being a worldly hero. Not only was he not angry, he ordered Yu Jin not to shoot arrows and shouted after him.

    "Zhang Wenyuan!!! This Prime Minister has the power to dominate the world. Sooner or later, he will win the government like the First Emperor and unify the world!!! If you find your way back, you are willing to come and join me. The door of this Prime Minister will always be open for you!!!"

    Cao Cao shouted loudly, and his voice shook the world.  Zhang Liao, however, ignored them and continued to kill them fiercely with his painted halberd, as if cutting a bloody path.  Generals Xu Chu, Gao Lan, and Li Dian followed closely, but they all received orders from Cao Cao asking him to let Zhang Liao go.  The generals had no choice but to let him escape.

    On the other side, it was said that Cao Cao led most of his troops to Songshan for rescue. He opened his jaw and strictly ordered his sergeants to guard the stronghold and beware of the northwest army coming to attack at night.

    Zhang Jia knew in his heart that Xu Chu had been defeated for a while, and now Gao Lan and Li Dian were besieged and killed again. At this time, the morale of the army was unstable, and tonight they were most vulnerable to sneak attacks.  Not daring to rest with his jaw open, he ordered the soldiers not to take off their armor, to keep their swords and guns close to their bodies, and to be ready for battle at any time.

    Two hours later, as expected by Zhang Jia, a group of fast cavalry came towards the camp to kill them.  Cao Jun's scouts rushed forward to investigate and saw the leading general, with a red face and green robes, carrying a Qinglong Yanyue Sword. He was majestic and inviolable, like a divine general in the sky.  The scout quickly recognized that the general was the best warrior in the world, Guan Yunchang, and was so frightened that he hurried back to the camp to complain.

    Guan Yu galloped forward on his red rabbit horse, pulled out his antlers, shouted and charged into the stronghold. Cao's army in front of the camp gate could not stop him and dispersed as soon as he rushed. Guan Yu's Qinglong Yanyue Sword kept waving, causing a shower of blood.  All the soldiers fled, and Guan Yu led his cavalry to the central army to kill Cao Cao.  Cao Cao's soldiers were suddenly in chaos. It turned out that Cao Cao had arrived in a hurry earlier. The Chinese army and horses used chariots and battles to ambush the road and penetrate the road. They were surrounded like iron barrels and could not enter.  Guan Yu led the cavalry to charge left and right.  Cao's soldiers were panicked. They didn't know how many enemy soldiers there were, and they were disturbing each other. The chaos was like a pot exploding.  Guan Yu galloped around the camp, killing every enemy he encountered.  Each camp made a noise, raised fire like stars, and shouted loudly.  Guan Yu fought all the way, but no one dared to take him, so he rushed to the Zhongjun camp, hoping to take Cao Cao's head.

    Zhang Jaw had already led an army to ambush. When he saw Guan Yu attacking the stronghold, he immediately gave an order and fired thousands of arrows.  Suddenly, a wave of arrows came from the sky. Guan Yu was startled and hurriedly slashed with his sword to resist the wave of arrows. Many cavalry in the army were shot off their horses.  While Guan Yu was resisting the wave of arrows, he was looking for Cao Cao. He looked around, but he still couldn't see him.  Guan Yu knew that most of Cao Cao was not in the stronghold, so he gave up the idea of ??capturing Cao Cao and led his troops to run toward the south gate.

    The surrounding generals of Cao's army quickly led their troops to pursue him, but Zhang Jia quickly mounted his horse to stop him and shouted sternly.

    "Xi Zhicai is very resourceful. The enemy's army is attacking tonight. I'm afraid it's more than that. If we pursue it rashly, I'm afraid we'll fall into Xi Zhicai's trick. You and others can only guard the stronghold tightly and don't pursue it!!!"

    As soon as the command of opening one's jaw fell, many generals and generals of Cao's army were indignant.  Opening his jaw, he saw the expressions on everyone's faces and knew what they were thinking, so he shouted angrily.

    "The Prime Minister has an order. I am the commander-in-chief of the army at this time. Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed!!!"

    ??The military order is like a mountain, and the jaws are open.After the order was issued, although the generals complained, they did not dare to issue it and took the order one after another.  Zhang Jia then sent several scouts to investigate around.

    But it was said that Guan Yu rushed out of Cao's stronghold and saw that there were no pursuers in the rear. He frowned slightly, so he gathered his army and waited for a while, but still no soldiers came to pursue him.  Guan Yu Danfeng narrowed his eyes, looked at Cao Jun's camp, and said secretly.

    "Is it possible that someone in Cao's army saw the strategist's plan?"

    Guan Yu then remembered the scene where he had just rushed into the Chinese army camp and was ambushed. In his haste, he had noticed the figure of Zhang Jia.  Guan Yu had also heard about the name of Zhang Jia, so he immediately gathered his troops and retreated to look for Xi Zhicai who was ambushing not far away.

    When he was young, Xi Zhicai learned about the past events from Guan Yu's mouth, and he couldn't help but sighed with a serious look on his face.

    "This handsome man is meticulous, yet able to adapt to changes and command the troops well. He is really a handsome man! With such a person guarding Cao Cao's stronghold, I am afraid it will be difficult to conquer for a while. According to what the public said, Cao Cao is very likely to be able to do so now.  I am personally leading the army to Songshan to rescue him. Cao Cao's tactics are profound and unfathomable. To be safe, we should retreat to Hulao Pass as soon as possible."

    Xi Zhicai had a plan. He expected that Cao Cao would divide his troops to rescue Songshan, and the morale of the army was in chaos, so he ordered Guan Yu to lead an elite army to attack Cao Jun's camp and take advantage of the chaos to kill Cao Cao.  If he could kill him, Cao's army would definitely be in chaos. He then led the ambush troops and horses into Cao's army's camp and defeated it with one blow.  If Cao Cao could not be killed, Guan Yu led Cao Jun to the place where he had set an ambush. Cao Jun's pursuers were ambushed and panicked. Guan Yu and he led most of the troops to attack and kill Cao Jun, and captured Cao Jun's stronghold.

    Although Xi Zhicai's plan was clever, it was stillborn due to Zhang Jia's continuous and exquisite arrangements.  Xi Zhicai negotiated with Guan Yu and hurriedly withdrew his troops and rushed back to Hulao Pass.  Cao Jun's scouts detected that most of the troops were evacuating and quickly reported back to Zhang Jaw.  When all the generals of Cao's army heard about it, they all sighed with admiration and admiration.

    In other words, although Xu Huang and Zhang Liao escaped, Cao Cao successfully captured the Songshan Stronghold.  Cao Cao was overjoyed and rewarded his officers and men with plenty of supplies in the stronghold.  The officers and men of Cao's army were all happy and their morale was high.  Cao Cao was always very cautious, fearing that his army's stronghold would be ambushed. After a day's rest, he left 30,000 troops and horses to order Gao Lan and Li Dian to guard the Songshan stronghold. Cao Cao led most of the remaining troops back to his own army's camp.

    After Cao Cao returned to the stronghold, he opened his jaw and led all the generals to greet him. He knelt down on one knee and bowed to the ground to tell him what he had done.  When Cao Cao heard that there was an attack from the northwest army on the previous day, he was shocked at first. Then he heard that Zhang Jia had retreated from that army. He immediately smiled with joy, raised Zhang Jia, and said with Zhang Jia's hand.

    "Haha, fortunately Junyi is guarding Dazhai, otherwise our army would be in danger!"

    After Cao Cao laughed, he immediately gave him a thousand taels of gold and silk and a thousand pieces of brocade and silk.  He opened his mouth to accept it, and then distributed more rewards to those who had made meritorious deeds the day before.  Cao Cao smiled and said to the generals.

    "Wen Bufan is related to Yun Chang, and I also have Zhang Junyi, who is a worthy rival!!"

    Although Cao Cao had lost a lot of soldiers and horses before Fan Yi, now that he had captured the Songshan stronghold, Zhang Zha retreated the northwest army wisely. Seeing that the battle situation was great, his confidence increased greatly, and he was proud of his ambition, so he ordered the three armies to rest and prepare for war.  At the same time, he also sent orders to Gao Lan and Li Dian, ordering them to draw up their troops to attack Hulao Pass in three days.

    A few days later, Cao Cao raised 30,000 troops to kill at Hulao Pass with great force. Gao Lan also ordered 20,000 troops from Songshan Mountain to kill at Hulao Pass.  Two groups of Cao's troops marched towards Hulao Pass with murderous intent.  Seeing that Cao's army was strong, Xilong advised Guan Yu not to rush into battle, but to take advantage of the dangerous points in the pass to defend.  The two groups of Cao troops attacked wildly day and night for several days, causing the Hulao Pass to tremble and shake, and all the soldiers in the northwest were panicked.

    The better the war situation got, the more successful Cao Cao became. He wanted to step up his offensive and conquer Hulao Pass as soon as possible, wipe out Hanoi, and conquer the Hedong base camp of the Northwest Army.

    Three nights later, inside the tower of Hulao Pass.  Guan Yu was discussing with Xilong, Xu Huang, Zhang Liao and other generals.

    "Now that we have lost the Songshan stronghold, the horns' power has been broken. Cao Jun's two armies are attacking together, and our army's situation is critical. Can you guys have a plan to deal with it!?"

    Xu Huang and Zhang Liao are both cautious generals. When they heard the words, they immediately looked down and thought hard.  There was a drama going on, but it was calm and there was no hint of nervousness.  Guan Yu noticed this and glanced at Xilong urgently.  Xilong understood in his heart, stood up, bowed and said with a smile.

    "Now that we are losing, Cao Cao is becoming more and more successful, and his pride is rising. I have a plan to teach Cao Mengde to die without a burial place!!!"

    "The military advisor actually has a plan!? Come on, tell me!"

    Guan Yu was overjoyed and asked Xilong anxiously.  Xilong then said in a deep voice that Guan Yu, Xu Huang, and Zhang Liao were surprised when they heard this, and Guan Yu even put his hands on his hands and laughed.

    "This is a great plan. Let's see how Cao Mengde can escape!?"

    After Guan Yu finished laughing, he followed Xi Long's plan and made adjustments, and the generals took their orders and left.  At the fifth watch, Guan Yu ordered all the troops to make rice and eat to replenish their physical strength.  When Pingming arrived, Guan Yu issued another order, ordering all armies, big and small, to abandon the city  Then he closed the door again and planted flags again, bluffing.  The armies were dispatched cautiously.

    But he said that Cao Cao was planning to capture Hulao Pass as soon as possible and was deploying troops outside the pass.  When Pingming arrived, all the troops were ordered to assemble their troops and prepare to march to Hulao Pass.  Suddenly a scout came to report that there were many noises in the pass, and they suspected that something had changed.  When Cao Cao heard this, he frowned and became suspicious, so he hurriedly stood up and looked at it.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????: There are empty flags and banners at Hulao Pass, but no one is guarding them. I also see northwest sergeants with bundles tied around their waists.  Cao Cao looked at it for a while and suddenly laughed. All the generals were confused and asked questions one after another.  Cao Cao said that he would talk to all the generals.

    "Guan Yunchang was captured by our army from the Songshan stronghold and broke his power. Recently, he was frightened by the force of our tiger and wolf division. He has nothing to do. He must prepare to evacuate now." ^-^^-^
