Shang Kexi was easily killed with one shot. Cao Ning looked at Cao Cao who was looking a little embarrassed. He immediately got off his horse and said respectfully, "Father, get on your horse quickly. The child will fight on foot to protect his father and fight out!"
Cao Cao looked at the heroic Cao Ning beside him, but suddenly burst into tears, refused to mount his horse, and said sadly: "I died here, Ning'er, as a cavalry commander, how can you kill out quickly without a horse?"
This dangerous place!"
Cao Ning immediately said urgently: "If there is no peace in the world, how can there be no father?" After saying that, he took off his armor, wrapped it around Cao Cao, and forced Cao Cao onto the horse. He was only wearing a single coat and carrying a thick handle.
The black spear guarded Cao Cao's horse, he cut a bloody path, snatched a war horse, and headed straight to the east.
With Cao Ning, a military commander at the top of his game, protecting him, when all the generals of the Xiliang Army are unable to take action, who can stop him?
Cao Cao, who was guarded by Cao Ning alone, moved forward and escaped for a whole night before finally escaping from the Xiliang army.
After Cao Cao broke through, the generals who were still fighting began to think of ways to break out. Therefore, after Cao Cao was safe, the generals in Cao's army also came back one after another.
"Lord, how are you?" Xiahou Dun, who was the first to arrive, came to Cao Cao's side. Looking at Cao Cao's embarrassed look, he turned over and dismounted and asked worriedly.
"Nothing." Cao Cao shook his head and said, and then asked: "Can Yuan Rang find other generals in our army?"
Xiahou Dun shook his head helplessly and said: "Since I lost my master, I only focused on breaking out of the encirclement by myself and never saw anyone else."
After hearing Xiahou Dun's words, Cao Cao's expression suddenly darkened, and he couldn't help but start to worry about the situation of other generals.
Not long after, Cao Cao and the other three saw Xia Houyuan coming over with more than a dozen horses. Cao Cao felt calmer when he saw that Xia Houyuan was in a panic but not dead. But like Xia Houdun, Xia Houyuan
He also broke out alone and did not see other generals in the army.
Cao Cao could only reluctantly accept this. With a trace of worry, he began to retreat in the direction of Hulao Pass. After a while, he saw a large group of defeated troops coming towards him not far away. The person coming was not.
The others were missing generals such as Xu Chu, Cao Ren, Le Jin, and Yin Kaishan, as well as the two generals Tian Yu and Tian Zaibiao sent by Liu Yu to assist in the battle.
After waiting for a long time, no other generals came back. Cao Cao knew that those generals who did not come back would probably never come back again in this life.
After counting the generals under his command over and over again, Cao Cao suddenly spat out a large mouthful of blood and almost fainted.
In this battle, Cao Cao suffered serious losses. The elite soldiers under his command who had worked hard to train for several years were almost crippled by the battle, and more than half of them were lost directly. Even three of his generals were killed in the battle.
Among them, when General Duan Zhixuan and several other generals joined forces to deal with Yu Juluo, they were unexpectedly killed by Yu Juluo's drag knife.
In order to cover Cao Cao's breakout, Cao Zhan tried to forcefully block the former Qin fierce general Lu Guang, but was killed by Lu Guang with three shots.
As for the swordsman Oni Caozheng, when Xiahou Dun and Xia Houyuan retreated, he led the troops to cut off their rear. As a result, he died heroically in the rebel army, without even leaving a whole body.
Of course, the Xiliang army defeated Cao Cao so badly this time. Even if he took advantage of the ambush, it was not without paying the price.
Not to mention the fact that the general of the Xiliang Army who was killed by Cao Ning was gratifying. Apart from him, two other generals of the Xiliang Army died in this battle.
When Xu Chu, the tiger idiot, was about to break out, Hu Guozhu led hundreds of soldiers to stop him without thinking of his own strength. He wanted to rely on the strength of the soldiers to keep Xu Chu, the tiger idiot, as a powerful general. However, Xu Chu fought his way in while being injured and forced his way into the encirclement.
Hundreds of Xiliang soldiers cut off Hu Guozhu's head and walked away.
Zong Luohu met Tian Zaibiao who had escaped from the Wu brothers. He thought Tian Zaibiao was injured and thought he was a soft persimmon. However, he was hit in the head by Tian Zaibiao's chain electro-optical ball on the spot and went to another place.
A world.
When the embarrassed Cao Cao returned to Hulao Pass, all the princes were empty, and only Xue Rengui, who was responsible for guarding Hulao Pass, was left!
Originally, Xue Rengui had the intention to follow various princes to Luoyang, but under a hint from Jia Xu, Xue Rengui did give up this idea and took the initiative to take over the task of defending Hulao Pass.
As one of several senior generals of the Bingzhou Army, Xue Rengui naturally knew about Li Xiang's plan. Therefore, when Jia Xu's suggestive look came, even without Jia Xu's explanation, Xue Rengui immediately thought
The intention behind this is clear.
There are not without smart people among the princes and their subordinates. When Xue Rengui offered to guard Hulao Pass, some people had a faint feeling that maybe Li Xiang had some ideas about the land of Luoyang.
But although a few princes saw it, they were happy to see the success. Instead of blocking it, they helped Xue Rengui.
Today's Luoyang was almost burned down by Dong Zhuo's fire, and the prosperity of the day was no longer seen. Moreover, most of the people in Luoyang were forcibly relocated by Dong Zhuo. It can be said that Luoyang at this time was not only unprofitable, but also
You have to lose a lot of your belongings to go in.
In addition, if Li Xiang really captures Luoyang, he will inevitably have to confront Dong Zhuo, who has moved his capital to Chang'an sooner or later. Although Dong Zhuo seems to have been moved to Chang'an by the coalition of princes this time, the princes have no choice but to
Admit it, Dong Zhuo is powerful.
Luoyang, which has been reduced to a wasteland, in exchange for someone who can contain Dong Zhuo, in the eyes of various princes, they will not lose money in this deal!
In the eyes of various princes, Luoyang is no longer the prosperous imperial capital it once was. It has become a quagmire. It is easy to get in, but difficult to get out!
After returning to Hulao Pass, Cao Cao heard that the princes from all walks of life had set off for Luoyang. After thinking about it, the remnant army finally rushed to Luoyang.
Thinking about how I left in high spirits before, but now I have ended up in a miserable defeat. After I go to Luoyang, I will definitely be ridiculed by those princes.
But Cao Cao didn't care. When he thought that he had caused such misfortune this time, but those princes were drinking, having fun and throwing banquets in Luoyang, Cao Cao felt a wave of unwillingness in his heart.
What's more, leaving in such a dejected manner was not Cao Mengde's usual style. Therefore, although he knew that it would probably lead to an unhappy ending, Cao Cao still decided to take a trip to Luoyang.
