Taking advantage of Cao Zhang, the Western Qin Army, which had just passed the enemy's interception, was now cherishing this rare opportunity and rushing westward. It only took half an hour to reach the border of Chenliu County.
. Entering Chenliu County is equivalent to entering the strength of the Western Qin Army. I believe that the Cao Wei Army would never dare to rush into Chenliu County!
"General Hao!" A voice came from behind Hao Zhao and others. Hao Zhao turned around and saw that Dian Man was riding a horse and was catching up quickly. Just now Dian Man and Xu Yi retreated behind the military formation.
, he has not shown up since then, and now he has finally come out. I am afraid that Xu Yi has been settled. However, Dianman's face was not very good. He had a gloomy face and asked in a deep voice: "General Hao,
We should be approaching Chenliu now, right?"
Hao Zhao and the others reined in their mounts and stopped. The three of them looked at Dian Man in shock. Deng Ai asked in surprise: "General Dian? Could it be that General Xu's injury..."
"No! Lao Xu is fine!" Dianman shook his head, still with the same expression, and said in a deep voice: "Old Xu just used the gun too much. It seems that he will not wake up before tomorrow. As for
I also asked someone to bandage the injury on his leg, so there should be no problem!"
Hearing what Dianman said, Hao Zhao and the others were relieved and relieved. I think Dianman's expression was so bad probably because Xu Yi was injured! Hao Zhao simply didn't mention it and pointed out.
Pointing to the Western Qin army that was advancing rapidly next to him, he said: "At this speed, we should be able to reach Chenliu County within half an hour!"
"Will those Cao Wei troops catch up?" Wang Shuang asked suddenly. It was not that Wang Shuang was timid and afraid of death, but that after so many things, Wang Shuang, who had always been reckless, became more cautious.
"I should still be able to chase you! But not so fast!" Hao Zhao had not yet spoken, but Deng Ai answered first, "After all, Cao Zhang is in our hands, and the other party has to throw a trap at us no matter what! But it is precisely because Cao Zhang is in our hands.
The enemy will never leave Cao Zhang alone. Think about it, Cao Wei's army will gather more troops and chase after him!"
Regarding Deng Ai's answer, Hao Zhao also nodded in agreement. In terms of intelligence, Deng Ai is definitely better than Hao Zhao and will definitely grow into a great wise general in the future. Deng Ai is still a little immature now, but he can cope with the current situation.
That's enough! And Hao Zhao also continued: "I have sent people to Chenliu County before to inform the soldiers and horses left behind to respond. Although we lost the battle this time, we captured Cao Cao's son. This is a big gain.
!" Hao Zhao's words can be regarded as comforting everyone. After all, these short two days have been as difficult as years for everyone.
"Okay! Let's go quickly! Don't delay!" Hao Zhao took a deep breath, said to the generals, then tightened the reins and continued to move forward. At this moment, the West Qin Army had also reached them.
As generals, they must be at the front of the army. This can be regarded as an encouragement to the soldiers!
And just when Hao Zhao and others had just taken a few steps on their horses, suddenly, there was a violent sound of horse hooves and shouts of death from behind them, which made Hao Zhao and others' expressions change! They turned around.
Look, sure enough, it was an army of Cao Wei that was chasing us! After a day and night of fleeing, the Western Qin army was exhausted. On the contrary, the Cao Wei army had always been waiting for work. In this comparison, even the Western Qin army
The army tried their best to escape, but they could not escape the pursuit of Cao Wei's army. Hao Zhao and others had already known this, but they did not expect that Cao Wei's army would catch up so quickly! It seemed that after they left,
Not long after, Cao Wei's army set out to catch up. This made Hao Zhao and others very surprised. Wasn't Cao Wei's army afraid that they would be detrimental to Cao Zhang?
Unable to understand the intentions of Cao Wei's army, Hao Zhao immediately ordered the Western Qin army to stop and deploy on the spot! It was useless to continue escaping at this time. Instead, it would disrupt the position and allow Cao Wei's army to take advantage. At the same time, Hao Zhao also
After winking at Wang Shuang, Wang Shuang immediately understood, turned his horse and rushed towards the military formation. Not long after, he saw Wang Shuang carrying Cao Zhang upside down and walking out of the military formation.
At this moment, Cao Zhang has woken up, the featherless arrows on his body have been taken out, and the wounds have been bandaged. After all, an important hostage like Cao Zhang will be of great use in the future, and it is necessary to save his life. But although Cao Zhang is
He woke up, but his whole body was tightly tied up, and the injuries on his body were not healed. His face was pale, and he couldn't break free from Wang Shuang's hand. He could only look at everyone with an angry face and shouted loudly:
"Thief! If you want to kill him, kill him! If I frown, my surname is not Cao!"
With a cold snort, Hao Zhao ignored Cao Zhang's stubbornness and just made a gesture to Wang Shuang. Wang Shuang had known Hao Zhao for more than a day or two and immediately understood what Hao Zhao was thinking.
He tore off a piece of cloth from under his clothes, and regardless of whether Cao Zhang wanted it or not, he stuffed the dirty piece of cloth into his mouth and sealed his mouth!
After blocking Cao Zhang's mouth, Hao Zhao and others stationed their horses in front of the Western Qin Army's formation, looking solemnly at the Cao Wei Army approaching from the front. The Cao Wei Army seemed to have a tacit understanding, and they were far away from the Western Qin Army's formation.
He stopped about 500 steps ahead and set up the same formation. Looking at the formation of Cao Wei's army, Deng Ai suddenly exclaimed, pointed to the front of Cao Wei's formation, and shouted: "Brother Bo Dao! Look,
!That person is the enemy general who fought with me last night!"
What Deng Ai was referring to was naturally Chen Tai. Hearing Deng Ai's words, Hao Zhao, Wang Shuang and others couldn't help but look down. Guo Huai volunteered to stay last night to cut off the queen, and now Chen Tai has arrived here, then
It means that Guo Huai is already in danger!
Taking a deep breath, Hao Zhao suppressed the anger in his heart and shouted in a deep voice: "Since your army has agreed to let us go, why are you coming to chase us now? Are you really going to go back on your word? Don't you want Cao Zhang's life?
After saying that, Wang Shuang also took a step forward with Cao Zhangzong, and the big knife in his hand was placed on Cao Zhang's neck again! Cao Zhang wanted to struggle, but the cold blade was pressed against his neck, which made Cao Zhang
The whole person couldn't help but shudder, and he immediately became honest!
Seeing Cao Zhang, Man Chong in front of Cao Wei's army couldn't help but became anxious again, and immediately shouted: "Didn't we promise to let you go before? But you should also fulfill your promise and let the Fourth Young Master go!"
We are here just to bring back the Fourth Young Master!"
"Hmph!" Hao Zhao didn't believe Man Chong's excuse at all, and shouted loudly: "I have said before that when we get to a safe place, we will naturally let Cao Zhang go! Now we are still within your army's sphere of influence
If you let him go, who will ensure our safety? If your army really wants Cao Zhang to live, retreat quickly and don't pursue him again! Otherwise, we won't be so good next time
Be patient and listen to your explanation!"
Being snatched away by Hao Zhao, Man Chong had nothing to say. When Chen Tai saw him at the side, he said to Man Chong: "Lord Man! There is no reason to argue with these cunning Western Qin troops! We have nothing to say.
Let’s stick to the original plan!”
Man Chong also nodded helplessly, and Chen Tai immediately waved his hand behind him. Soon, several Cao Wei soldiers came forward, holding Guo Huai who was tied up. At this moment, Guo Huai
He still looked embarrassed, but the proud look on his face never changed. He glanced at Man Chong and Chen Tai, but his faces were full of disdain. Man Chong was not so petty to argue with a prisoner, but
He shouted loudly to the Western Qin army in front: "In that case, our army has something, and we hope to negotiate a deal with you! Do you recognize this person?" After saying this, Man Chong pointed at Guo Huai.
.
In fact, there was no need for Man Chong to ask. In front of the Western Qin army, Hao Zhao, Wang Shuang and Deng Ai were already stunned. They had already recognized the person who was being held in front of the Cao Wei army. It was Duan Hou last night.
Guo Huai! Originally thought that Guo Huai had died in the battle, but unexpectedly he was still alive. Hao Zhao and the others couldn't help but be overjoyed. Wang Shuang's hands trembled, and he almost missed Cao Zhang's neck with a big knife! Deng Ai cheered:
"It's Brother Boji! It's Brother Boji! Brother Boji is not dead! He is not dead!"
"Hahahaha!" Wang Shuang also looked up to the sky and smiled, turned to Hao Zhao and Deng Ai and shouted: "I'm just telling you! Brother Bo Ji is destined to die! It is indeed the case now!"
However, Hao Zhao quickly regained his composure after experiencing the previous surprise. Naturally, he knew very well what the other party's intention was to suddenly bring out Guo Huai at this time. He clearly wanted to trade Guo Huai for Cao Zhang!
In normal times, Hao Zhao would have agreed to this deal without even thinking about it. But the problem is that the current situation is too special! If hostages are exchanged, it means that the Western Qin Army will no longer have anything to threaten the enemy.
Something! With the current strength of the West Qin Army, it is absolutely impossible to escape the enemy's pursuit! But if he disagrees, Hao Zhao's conscience will not let him go. Guo Huai was captured to cover them. Do you want to watch it by yourself?
Watching Guo Huai die and not saving him? Hao Zhao is even more incapable of doing this!
Sure enough, I heard Man Chong in front continue to shout: "I want to use this person to exchange the life of the Fourth Young Master, how about it? As long as you are willing to let the Fourth Young Master go, I guarantee that in addition to letting this person go, we will not
I will chase you again and let you leave!" Man Chong dropped another bait, hoping to induce the other party to agree to his request.
However, Hao Zhao and others did not believe Man Chong's promise. Hao Zhao could be sure that as long as he let Cao Zhang go, the other party would definitely attack the Western Qin army!
