Chapter 70 History has been changed
"Brother, I don't see Cao Cao!" Zhang Fei led a group of people on horseback from a distance.
From the other end, Guan Yu rushed over from the right, with the Qinglong Yanyue Sword still dripping with blood, "Brother, someone just saw Cao Cao escaping from the north gate, should we catch up quickly!"
Liu Bei, holding both male and female swords, frowned and couldn't make up his mind for a moment.
All around, rebels and panicked Cao Jun were approaching, and all of them were beheaded by Guan Zhang. Liu Bei, who was surrounded by a large army, didn't care about it. He needed to calm down now, because the next decision was related to his future, and even his future.
The future of Dahan Jiangshan.
As soon as the mutiny started, all the battalions were in chaos, and there were sounds of fighting everywhere.
As the vanguard of the Western Expedition, Lieutenant General Liu Bei had 10,000 troops under his command, 6,000 of which were Cao Cao's men. They were scurrying around like headless flies.
Liu Bei didn't care about them at all. He took Zhang Fei and Guan Yu to stabilize his more than 4,000 old brothers.
More than half of these four thousand people were Danyang's elite soldiers that Tao Qian had left for him back then. They had good combat prowess and a calm mind. It didn't take them too much time to stabilize the army.
Facing the chaos of fighting from all directions, Liu Bei subconsciously wanted to lead his own people out of the battle circle. After all, he didn't have such a big capital to bother.
More than four thousand brothers will really be gone after the fight.
Until he heard someone running over to ask for help, claiming that Zhang Xiu had led troops to the main stronghold to take Cao Cao's head, he keenly realized that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
So he led Guan Zhang and more than 4,000 people to kill the rebels and deserters to clear the way, and finally arrived at the main stronghold. However, he heard that Cao Cao had run away a long time ago, and he wanted to pursue him.
But when he saw the scene under the camp gate, he hesitated.
There are only three ways in front of him. First, lead troops to chase Cao Cao. There will definitely not be many people around him to protect him now. Second, protect yourself wisely and escape from the battle with more than 4,000 people. Third, save him.
Cao Ang, Cao Anmin and Dian Wei.
Liu Bei glanced at the direction of the north gate and thought to himself: After escaping from the camp, he must have run eastward. There are seven or eight roads to go across the Feishui River. How can I catch up with him...
If you sit back and ignore it at this time, you will not lose anything, but you will miss a good opportunity that comes to your door.
"Brother! We are surrounded by enemies on all sides. It is not suitable to stay here for a long time. We need to make a decision quickly!" Guan Yu shouted after slashing down the four approaching Xiliang soldiers with his sword.
With the help of the scattered bonfires, Liu Bei's eyes once again fell on the three men of Cao's army who were fighting under the camp gate and were covered in blood.
He is Cao Cao's eldest son, and Dian Wei is Cao Cao's favorite guard. If I rescue them at this time, it will be equivalent to making a great contribution to Cao Cao. I will not doubt him in the future, and I will have a great chance of winning if I try again.
p>
Based on this calculation, this third way is the most beneficial to me.
"Second brother and third brother, follow me to kill Yuanmen!" After thinking about it for a while, Liu Bei finally made up his mind. Whether he assassinates Cao Cao in the future or leads his troops to break away and stand on their own feet, dispelling the doubts in Cao Cao's heart is a hurdle he must pass and save the three brothers.
It’s worth it to change your future!
"Third brother, follow me quickly!" Guan Yu didn't know what medicine Liu Bei was selling in his gourd, so he had to follow him when he saw him rushing towards the rebels.
The Liu, Guan, and Zhang brothers who originally came to kill Cao Cao became a rescue team.
Guan Yu, who arrived first, wielded the Qinglong Yanyue Sword, and with the help of the charge of his horses, he knocked away the eight Xiliang soldiers outside the camp gate.
Zhang Fei, who followed closely behind, stabbed out the eight-foot-long snake spear in his hand, pierced the chest of a Xiliang soldier, then picked it up and hit the crowd hard, knocking down six people immediately.
Liu Bei was coming one after another, with Danyang's elite troops pressing down on both sides, like a sharp knife piercing the Xiliang army's lineup.
In an instant, all the Xiliang troops, including Zhang Xiu, were in panic.
When marching to fight, especially when the battle enters a fierce stage, the most feared thing is to be attacked by a sneak attack. Regardless of the invincible bravery of Guan and Zhang, the trio of Cao soldiers have already worn out more than half of the Xiliang army's vigor at the cost of serious injuries.
The sudden side attack was enough to collapse the originally shaky military morale.
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei rushed into the rebel army with their own strength. The long soldiers in their hands were either heavy and heavy, breaking mountains and rocks, or they were as if they were swimming dragons. It was strange and unpredictable. The Xiliang army was killed and abandoned their armor.
They kept retreating, but they couldn't care less about Dian Wei and the others.
Looking at the sergeants who fell one after another in front of him, Zhang Xiu's face turned red with anger. He raised his gun and was about to fight Guan Yu, the most ferocious killer. However, he was stopped by the deputy general on the side, who hissed: "General,
No more fighting, otherwise the bones of our brothers will be buried here!"
Since the time of Dong Zhuo in the Guanzhong area, various tribes have ceded territory to rule the roost, bandits are everywhere, and the smoke has never stopped for a day. Zhang Xiu followed Zhang Ji and stayed in that place for four full years, so he has experienced hundreds of battles.
The experience accumulated in the past told him that the other side did not have cavalry. It was still too late to leave now. If it were too late, all the brothers would really be buried here.
He watched unwillingly as Liu Guanzhang ravaged his robes like melons and vegetables in the rebellious army. He gritted his teeth and said: "Big-eared thief, I have written it down for you. Today's revenge will be avenged in the future!"
Then he shouted: "Brothers, withdraw!"
The army began to break away and fled in a hurry. Fortunately, Liu Bei had no intention of killing him. After driving Zhang Xiu away, he sent people to guard around the camp gate, as if he was coming to save him.
He probably didn't know that the wheel of history had changed due to his pulling it.
He just firmly believed that tonight's behavior should be enough to earn Cao Cao's trust, and he was even planning in his heart how to escape from Xuchang and where to base himself.
After Zhang Xiu led his men to evacuate, the riots in the various camps did not stop abruptly, and Liu Bei did not pay attention to them. Unless they were approaching rebels, they would not take action.
It wasn't until the sky turned white that the sound of fighting in the camp finally dissipated with the last trace of darkness in the long night.
Quietness was restored next to the Feishui River, but the corpses on the ground and the messy camp marked the ferocity of the mutiny last night.
After it was completely bright, all units began to return to camp one after another.
In fact, whether they were scared away or the sergeants who took refuge and left the camp, they had to return to the army in the end, otherwise they would have to starve to death in the wilderness.
Next to the Jie River, Cao Cao leaned against a dead tree, looking at the rolling water, his eyes dull, as frustrated as an old man.
Soldiers kept coming to him to report the situation of each battalion. Xiahou Dun, Cao Hong, Yue Jin and Xu Huang had all reorganized their troops. Although there were losses, the essence was still there.
But Cao Cao seemed indifferent to this. Every time a sergeant came, he would ask: "Have you found General Dian Wei?"
The final answer disappointed him extremely.
He didn't even ask about Cao Ang and Cao Anmin.
Cao Cao stood up tremblingly, supporting the dead tree that was like his heart at the moment, and shouted at the raging water: "Where is General Dian Wei! Where is General Dian Wei!"
What answered him was just the sound of rushing water hitting the ferry.
At this moment, Cao Cao's vision gradually became blurry.
"Sikong, Sikong!"
A scout came on horseback, dismounted and knelt on the ground with one knee, "Report to Sikong, we have found the eldest son."
Cao Cao staggered forward, grabbed the scout, and asked eagerly: "Where is General Dian Wei?"
"They were in Uncle Liu Huang's camp together with the eldest son and Anmin. All three of them were seriously injured and unconscious. Military doctors are already treating them!"
Hearing this, Cao Cao felt relieved, and the stone that had been blocking his heart seemed to have finally been removed.
After he mounted Cao Ang's horse, he waved his whip and said, "Lead the way!"
