When Cao Cao received Liu Yan's report, he was immediately disappointed. He slowly put the letter on top of several cases and sighed softly: "Hey! I didn't expect that three thousand tigers and leopards rode thousands of miles away, but Long Fei actually escaped back. What a surprise!"
If the great danger is not eliminated, it will ultimately be our biggest threat!"
Cheng Yu didn't expect Long Fei to be so cunning: "Has my lord made up his mind to attack Jingzhou?"
Dong Zhao hurriedly said: "This matter should be discussed in the long run. Long Fei is not here, Jingzhou has sent 20,000 troops to Wancheng. When Long Fei returns, Jingzhou becomes even more unscrupulous. If we attack at this time, we may anger Long Fei. The matter in Yecheng has already been dealt with."
He has hatred towards us. If he tries to kill us again, Long Fei resists with all his strength, and he may not be able to capture Jingzhou. If Ma Teng of Xiliang, and Sun Quan of Jiangdong take advantage of the opportunity, this will be a serious danger!"
Everyone nodded. Liu Ye said: "Sun Quan and Liu Zhang have sent troops outside. If we don't attack, they may feel that we are playing tricks on them and they will hate us!"
"Hmph!" Cao Cao snorted coldly: "I am afraid of Long Fei, but not Sun Quan and Liu Zhang. What can they do? If they dare to come, I will destroy them in an instant!"
Cao Cao was angry and no one dared to speak. Jiang Jidao said: "Since Long Fei has returned to Jingzhou, should we recall the two generals Cao Ren and Cao Chun? These two people have been running around for several days for this matter. Their troops and horses are exhausted. If Long Fei
If a surprise attack occurs, the losses will be even greater." Cao Cao waved his hand, meaning to do as he wished.
After many inquiries, Cao Ren and Cao Chun finally found out that Long Fei split up his troops after passing Zhongmou, and used half of the vehicles to lure them to Xingyang for a walk. However, the real team headed south along the eastern foot of Songshan Mountain. These
For the past few days, these two people had been fooled around by Long Fei, and the anger in their hearts had reached the point of being unbearable. They immediately led their troops and chased after Long Fei.
The Songshan Mountains are intertwined and extend in all directions. The path Long Fei took was the path closest to the mountain. Although his speed was not fast, it was relatively safe. Many scouts were sent along the way. In addition to those who had to leave behind to take care of the wounded soldiers and vehicles, other
All the people were dispersed so that they could know immediately if something happened. The road was difficult to walk, and they only traveled a hundred miles in three days.
Looking at the increasingly difficult path, Dian Wei was a little depressed. If he were the general, he would definitely turn around and go straight to Yingchuan to kill one of them. But with Long Fei around, Dian Wei didn't dare to do anything wrong, so he could only say a few words in private.
Complaints. It had just rained the night before yesterday, and the road that was already difficult to walk became even more muddy. After walking a few steps, the vehicles accompanying the army would get stuck in the mud. It took a lot of effort to pull one out.
After pulling it out, another car got stuck.
Xu Chu said: "Lord, this won't work. Our speed is too slow. If we are overtaken, we won't have time to move!"
Meng Shuo also said: "If there are more than a hundred vehicles, if they are carried one by one, we will be exhausted. It is best to find a way to slow down the pursuing troops, so that we can have a chance to return to Yangdi!"
Guo Jia shook his head slightly: "It's easy to talk about the wounded soldiers. They can basically still ride horses, but these dead brothers..."
Before Guo Jia could finish speaking, Long Fei waved his hand: "No, I promised my brothers that I would take them back even if I die! After such a long journey, I feel uneasy about abandoning them at this last point.
Say no more and move on!”
In this regard, Long Fei was very tough and stubborn, and would not listen to anyone's words. It was precisely because of Long Fei's various behaviors in the past few days that the brothers who followed him back felt that their lord was rare in the world and could not die.
It's scary, what kind of person you are afraid of dying for. Long Fei is the person worth dying for.
Since Long Fei gave the order, others did not dare to say anything and could only continue to move forward. Just after turning a corner, the road ahead seemed to be easier. Everyone took a breath and prepared to take a rest and then rush on. A man came from behind
A horse hurriedly came to the front, clasped his fists and raised his hands: "Master, there is a group of cavalry behind, they should be tiger and leopard cavalry, there are many people, less than ten miles away from us!"
"Ten miles!" Everyone was shocked. They didn't expect Cao Chun to be so fast. They took out their weapons and prepared to fight. Even the wounded soldiers struggled to get off their horses. Long Fei spit out the mud in his mouth and saw
He looked at the brothers around him. There were only a hundred people who could fight, and there were also some wounded and coffins, which had to be taken away: "Chen arrived! You are seriously injured. I order you to lead thirty brothers and return to Yang immediately with the injured and dead brothers.
Zhai asks for help!"
"Lord!" Chen Dao fell to his knees in the mud with a thud.
Long Fei didn't look at him: "This is an order! Do you want to disobey it?"
Meng Shuo pulled Chen Dao up and said with a smile: "Brother Chen, it is useless to leave the injured and dead brothers here. If they can go back, we will be satisfied. If you can bring reinforcements quickly, we will still have more troops."
hopefully!"
Guo Jia looked at Dian Wei and Xu Chu. The two understood each other and quietly approached Long Fei. Naturally, Long Fei understood the purpose of these two people and jumped out of the way. Dian Wei jumped away and glared at Xu Chu: "Rebellion
No! Get Fengxiao and Mr. Zhang into the car and follow the wounded soldiers, and the rest of the people will follow me to meet the enemy!"
Guo Jia was forced into the car by several soldiers. Chen Dao led dozens of less injured brothers and escorted the wounded soldiers and dead bodies along the road. He watched them disappear behind the woods in the distance. Long Fei
He glanced at everyone and asked, "How many brothers are there?"
"One hundred and four!"
Long Fei chuckled: "One hundred and four, plus the four of us, it's exactly one hundred and eight generals. I am the leader Song Jiang, hahaha..."
Long Fei laughed loudly. The other people didn't know what Song Jiang was and who was not Song Jiang. They looked at each other in confusion. Long Fei coughed twice and said: "Okay, Cao Chun still has a thousand tiger and leopard cavalry, and there are a hundred of us.
At least one must be equal to ten, I'm afraid it won't work with force, so I have to use tactics!"
Everyone stood up straight: "It all depends on the Lord's orders!"
Cao Chun's scouts also discovered Long Fei's situation. Cao Chun was overjoyed. After so many days, Long Fei's tail was finally caught. He kept urging the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry to speed up. Of course, Cao Chun also met Long Fei.
The same problem was that it was muddy, and the horses walked cautiously. In order to catch Long Fei as soon as possible, we had to sacrifice some soldiers and horses and let them cut firewood and spread it on the road so that the army could advance.
Far away, he saw a team of more than a hundred people standing in the middle of the road not far away. These people were covered in mud and looked like beggars. Cao Chun was overjoyed when he rode close to him. It turned out to be Long Fei, Chang Chang.
He breathed out: "General Long, you can make it easy for us to find him! He walked very fast all the way out of Yecheng!"
"We work as swordsmen and we work as meat and fish, so we have to be fast!" Long Fei smiled slightly: "General Cao is quite tired from traveling all the way. How about we sit down and take a rest?"
"You have your destiny, don't stay!" Cao Chun's mood improved. As soon as he arrived here, he looked around to make sure there were no ambushes around, and then he felt confident and bold: "If there is nothing urgent, General Long, please come back with me.
It's best for you in Yecheng. My lord has already prepared a banquet, so I'll send you General Long."
Long Fei shook his head: "I'm not used to my father-in-law's banquets. I'd like to ask General Cao to say hello to me and say that I accept your father-in-law's wishes. There are important things in Jingzhou. I'll invite my father-in-law to come to Jingzhou to sit down in a few days." Long Fei said.
Fei hopes that Cao Chun will not rush to attack. They need to buy some time for Chen Dao and others. The more time, the better for themselves. According to Guo Jia's calculations, this place is only thirty miles away from Yangzhai.
"So it seems that General Long is not ready to leave?" Cao Chun waved his hand, and the troops behind him immediately stepped forward.
Long Fei waved his hands repeatedly: "Slowly! We have something to discuss. I hate fighting and killing! General Cao has just arrived here and has not rested for a while. What I mean is that we all have a rest, and then we can leave again!"
The lieutenant lied down and whispered something in Cao Chun's ear. Cao Chun smiled: "General Long is delaying time! He is so insincere, so I have no choice but to use force!"
The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry in the front row immediately swarmed forward, and Dian Wei, Xu Chu, and Meng Shuo also stepped forward immediately. Fortunately, the mountain road was narrow and the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry could not spread out in full, which gave Long Fei and the others a slight advantage. Dian Wei
One halberd after another, they hit the tiger and leopard riders hard, beating them to death. Xu Chu also changed his chops to smashing, using the back of his knife to hit the tiger and leopard riders on the head. Meng Shuo used a spear,
Specializing in looking for gaps between armors, whether people or horses, as long as there is an opportunity, they will poke in. With the experience of fighting against the tiger and leopard cavalry last time, Long Fei's soldiers have found some methods.
Using his own flexibility and mobility, he only hits the war horses without killing people. He dismounts the soldiers from their horses and tramples them to death.
Screams continued to be heard, and the two sides fought fiercely in this small area. Blood, howls, neighing of war horses, and the sound of clashing weapons resounded throughout the valley. Suddenly, huge rocks rolled down the hillsides on both sides.
, went straight to the head of the tiger and leopard rider. Cao Chun obviously did not expect this move, and many tiger and leopard riders were immediately killed and injured. Although there were not many stones, they were not too big, but the impact from the mountain was huge.
Not small.
Long Fei hurriedly looked up. On the cliff, a thin body wearing a robe and shaking a fan stood there leisurely. Chen Daozheng led the dozens of wounded soldiers to keep throwing rocks down the mountain. Looking at Guo
With an expression of Jia, Long Fei shook his head and smiled bitterly. This guy still didn't listen to his words and ran back again.
The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry was stunned by the sudden blow, and Cao Chun had no choice but to order a temporary retreat. He left the battlefield, but did not go far. They were facing each other hundreds of steps apart. Cao Chun did not dare to attack, and Long Fei did not
They couldn't fight through it, and the narrow mountain road turned out to be the dividing line between the two sides.
Cao Chun has ordered someone to notify Cao Ren immediately. Cao Ren has two thousand foot soldiers and they have shields in their hands that can deal with such stones. Cao Chun received the call for help and immediately ordered to advance at full speed. The army came to the mouth of the valley and did not wait.
Rest and immediately give the order: "Form up and attack!"
