After all, Hua Yuexin was still a girl in her twenties. Although she was a woman, she still couldn't control her inner curiosity.
Hua Yuexin, who grew up in the Hua Family Courtyard, has always been very curious about the outside world. No matter what it is, Hua Yuexin always wants to see inside.
Regarding war, Hua Yuexin has a mentality of both expectation and fear.
What she looked forward to was what war would look like, but what she feared was the horror during and after the war.
Before Madam could hesitate, Ma Xiaoquan quickly hugged Hua Yuexin into his arms, jumped out of the carriage and disappeared into the night...
At the front line, Cao Cao had already left some soldiers to flee, with the simple purpose of luring the snake out of its hole.
Qiao Rui and Zhang Xun were not willing to let go of such a good pursuit opportunity. They also threw money and decided who would pursue and who would defend.
Zhang Xun's luck was not as good as Qiao Rui's, and Qiao Rui took the lead.
However, the two of them discussed it and the result was equally divided.
Qiao Rui led a large group of troops and roared towards the "escape" Cao Jun.
These Cao soldiers who were responsible for "escape" were really good at it. The "100-meter single trip" was very fierce. In a short time, not even a single pursuer could catch up with them.
"Damn it," Qiao Rui spat, "This bastard Cao Cao escaped so fast!"
A small colonel came forward and laughed: "General, this just proves that Cao Cao is anxious."
Qiao Rui thought it was very reasonable and shouted: "I'll chase you all and kill them all, one head and two taels of gold!"
With the temptation of money, none of the pursuers would be willing to sacrifice their lives, and they all roared up with red eyes.
But just as they were about to catch up with Cao Jun, who was fleeing in panic, all the torches in front suddenly dimmed.
Before the pursuers could react, it was already pitch black ahead.
Qiao Rui just wanted to shout an order, but it was too late. The cavalry was already in chaos and noisy, with swords and guns and fire, but there was no enemy in sight. The infantry who followed were crowded with the cavalry.
When we were together, it became even more chaotic.
"Retreat...retreat..." Qiao Rui had just shouted twice when he heard his troops scream and their horses fell down one after another.
"Oops, tripping Masuo!"
I think I thought of it, but the ones who stumbled still followed one after another.
Just when Qiao Rui was about to scold her, the sound of breaking wind rang in her ears again.
The most feared thing in the dark was cold arrows. Qiao Rui swallowed the curse words hard and hurriedly lay on the horse, fearing that she would be shot by cold arrows.
At the same time, Cao's army, which had been ambushed for a long time, suddenly appeared, but did not light any torches.
At this time, Qiao Rui wanted to die.
"Cao Cao, you and I are incompatible with each other."
Qiao Rui yelled and cursed while running around to find a way out.
At this time, Qiao Rui suddenly saw a "soldier" with a delicate figure.
"Female?" Qiao Rui pursed her lips and suddenly forgot that her life was still hanging in the balance.
"Whatever, I like it regardless of whether it's a boy or a girl!" Qiao Rui gritted her teeth and rushed towards the pretty "soldier".
"Haha... come on..." Just when Qiao Rui was about to succeed, a man's voice suddenly came from behind him, and he heard the voice shout: "Dare you touch?"
My girl, take the move, Foshan Wuyingji!"
Qiao Rui just wanted to turn her head when she felt a heavy blow to her face, followed by several more blows in succession.
From the feeling, Qiao Rui judged that he was kicked by someone.
Qiao Rui was also quite tough. He resisted the opponent five or six times without being kicked off his horse, but at this time, he looked really embarrassed.
The dizzy Qiaorui shook his head, regained his composure, and casually provoked two more Cao soldiers who were attacking, and cursed angrily: "Rat, do you dare to come out and compete with grandpa?"
In the chaos, who knows who kicked Qiaorui just now? As soon as Qiaorui left his mouth, more than a dozen guns poked at him.
Qiao Rui was so frightened that he fell off his horse. Before he could react, he was chopped into pieces with a random knife.
...
In the darkness, Ma Xiaoquan hugged Hua Yuexin and gently scratched her little nose: "Isn't it exciting?"
Hua Yuexin kept patting her chest: "I'm scared to death, my husband, I'm scared to death, my husband is dead. Use me to lure that bridge. He's dead."
Ma Xiaoquan laughed and said: "My husband, I didn't kill that Qiao Rui either. Didn't you pay attention? That guy was hacked to death by one of our own people."
Hua Yuexin trembled: "It's so scary, Mr. Yue'er, don't play with me anymore, it's too cruel."
Ma Xiaoquan nodded: "Okay, okay, no more fun, let's go back!"
After that, Ma Xiaoquan picked up Hua Yuexin and ran away.
...
Fourth update. Zhang Xun from Qiyang suddenly heard the sound of victory drums outside the city. He laughed for a while at first, and then felt sour in his heart.
Then, Pegasus from the city came to report: General Qiao Rui's pursuit was a great victory, he obtained a lot of supplies, and he beheaded countless people.
Zhang Xun was overjoyed and immediately ordered the city to be opened to welcome him.
The city gate opened wide, and Zhang Xun immediately led his troops out of the city to greet him. Unexpectedly, he only saw the leader of Qiao Rui's music and drum troupe, but no one was there.
Zhang Xun suddenly felt something was wrong and quickly shouted to retreat.
But, it was too late.
The drum band on the opposite side had already moved aside, and the rapid sound of horse hooves had reached Zhang Xun's ears. Zhang Xun didn't care about his subordinates, so he just picked up his horse and fled.
Zhang Xun escaped, but his subordinates were still kept in the dark. It was not until his death that everyone realized that Cao Cao had plotted against him.
The gates of Qiyang City were wide open and could not stop Cao Jun's large army.
Cao Cao led his soldiers into Qiyang City in a dashing manner and killed them in large numbers.
In this battle, except for Zhang Xun who escaped, almost all the enemy generals who could lead the troops were killed by Cao Cao.
In the evening, when counting the results, Cao Hong's military report happened to come again.
According to reports, Zhang Xiu himself temporarily led the main force to retreat to Rangcheng, while Cao Hong temporarily held a stalemate with him in Ye County due to insufficient troops.
Cao Cao hurriedly took Guo Jia and Ma Xiaoquan to discuss countermeasures. Ma Xiaoquan's meaning was very clear: Cao Hong was not Jia Xu's opponent. If they could return reinforcements, it would be best to join forces with Cao Hong to attack Zhang Xiu.
Ma Xiaoquan's words happened to speak to Cao Cao's heart. Cao Cao looked at Guo Jia, and Guo Jia also agreed with Ma Xiaoquan's words.
The three of them gathered together and decided to take a short break before assisting Cao Hong.
During the meal, Ma Xiaoquan specially selected a piece of plump bacon for his wife Hua Yuexin to enjoy.
Hua Yuexin didn't like eating meat, so she just took a small bite and handed it to Ma Xiaoquan.
Ma Xiaoquan finished the bacon and laughed and said: "Madam, we are going to go back after taking a break after dinner."
After all, Hua Yuexin was born as a girl. She was tired from running around and her body and bones were a little bit overwhelmed. However, having her husband by her side was more important than anything else. Therefore, Hua Yuexin didn't have anything to say.
"Well, wherever my husband goes, Yue'er will follow."
The troops stationed in Qiyang, first of all, to rest and reorganize their armaments, and secondly, as Cao Cao had promised before, to assist Master Shangxian in finding the object.
After a search, his subordinates came to report and found nothing suspicious.
Cao Cao reported the results to Ma Xiaoquan. Ma Xiaoquan felt a little regretful, but felt a little happy in his heart.
...
After the army was reorganized, Cao Cao left a large group of troops to defend Qiyang, while the main force followed him back to aid Cao Hong.
After the two armies met, Cao Hong briefly reported the war situation to Cao Cao.
Cao Cao nodded, looking at his expression he didn't mean to blame Cao Hong.
After speaking, Cao Cao stepped forward to pull Cao Hong up and consoled him: "Zilian, according to you, is Jia Xu very powerful?"
Cao Hong did not dare to hide anything and nodded: "My lord, Jia Xu can guess his subordinates' strategies every time. If it were not for the terrain problems between the enemy and our armies, Hong would not have been able to hold on for so long."
Cao Cao hummed and turned to ask Ma Xiaoquan, "Sir Shangxian, do you have any good countermeasures?"
Ma Xiaoquan chuckled and shook his head.
Cao Cao felt a little unhappy, but he knew that Master Shangxian would not help easily unless he saw some benefit.
Cao Cao rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Master Shangxian, I think that old boy Yuan Shu took that object away when he ran away. If Master Shangxian doesn't mind it, you can continue to walk with me. No matter whether you find it or not, Cao Cao will treat it as
A gift of valuables, what do you think, Lord Immortal?"
Ma Xiaoquan laughed and thought: This Cao Cao is very interesting. He knows that I like treasures, but he doesn't know that I just like to look at them. However, since you gave them to me, why don't you want to take them away?
After making up his mind, Ma Xiaoquan looked at Hua Yuexin beside him, who gave him an affirmative look.
Ma Xiaoquan said: "It's okay to go with you, but, Xiao Cao, please remember that I can only guarantee your personal comfort to a limited extent. As for whether you are injured or not, I am not responsible. Do you understand?
?”
Cao Cao wanted to say something more, but he saw Lord Shangxian casually playing with the red flame in his palm.
Cao Cao was so frightened that he swallowed hard and became silent.
...
After agreeing on the countermeasures, Cao Cao used his military superiority to suppress Zhang Xiu's arrogance. However, the victory was a victory, and Cao Cao did not drive Zhang Xiu to death.
Guo Jia asked Cao Cao why, and Cao Cao glanced meaningfully at Master Shangxian, who was teasing his wife not far away.
"Fengxiao, Master Shangxian told me before that if you want to accept Jia Xu, this is enough."
Guo Jia was stunned for a moment and looked at Ma Xiaoquan.
At this time, Ma Xiaoquan had no idea that Cao Cao, Guo Jia and his servant were discussing him.
Guo Jia has long heard about the lord's love and cherishing his talents, and has also seen it with his own eyes. Cao Hong spoke of Jia Xu so well that his lord Cao Cao must have been moved by compassion. Those words of Lord Shangxian just now, Guo Jia
I understand.
"My lord is wise!"
Cao Cao burst out laughing and patted Guo Jia on the shoulder: "It should be said that Master Shangxian is more wise."
In February of the third year of Jian'an, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, Cao Cao couldn't help but want to attack Zhang Xiu again.
Cao Cao complained to Guo Jia: "Fengxiao, Master Shangxian said that we can recover Jia Xu, why didn't Jia Xu come to surrender?"
Guo Jia also couldn't laugh or cry, and thought to herself: My lord, Zhang Xiu is alive and well, and it is said that he is very good to Jia Xu. Everyone has feelings for each other. Do you think that when you go to the market to buy vegetables, you just buy them if you say they want to?
ah?
Guo Jia chuckled and said: "My lord, I think it is best for you to wait quietly."
