When he discovered the defeated soldiers of Cao Cao, Wei Zi knew that Cao Cao had already escaped in defeat. Logically speaking, his plan was completely correct, and they had agreed on it beforehand.

However, the bad part was Cao Cao's Banner. The banner holder soldiers ran towards Wei Zi's array. When the Cao soldiers who had been defeated saw the flag, they followed along. They thought that they would form a defensive formation and in a short while, they arrived in front of Wei Zi's array.

Xu Rong who was in hot pursuit immediately grabbed onto the opportunity and ordered the soldiers to rush up. When Wei Zi saw that Cao Cao's soldiers and Xu Rong's soldiers had all ran over, he didn't know what to do. At this time of the night, he did not know whether Cao Cao was inside or not, so he did not dare to order his soldiers to shoot.

Just as Wei Zi was hesitating, Cao Cao's soldiers and Xu Rong's soldiers rushed up together. Wei Zi's formation immediately became chaotic, and the battle had turned into a chaotic battle. Wei Zi's soldiers were just recruited, how could they be his opponent? They were immediately defeated and scattered in all directions.

"Retreat …" "Quickly retreat …"

Wei Zi saw that he could not hold on anymore, and could not care less where Cao Cao was. He immediately ordered his horse to retreat, and turned his horse to escape. Just at this moment, a Arrows without eyes shot towards Wei Zi's left chest, he screamed and fell off his horse.

Wei Zi's family was very loyal, they immediately dismounted and carried Wei Zi, and helped him up onto the horse. However, that Arrows was shot too accurately, it had completely penetrated Wei Zi's left chest, and fresh blood continued to gush out as the aura of life slowly disappeared.

Wei Zi's soldiers did not win too much time for Cao Cao. Xu Rong's soldiers quickly annihilated Wei Ci's team and grabbed onto Cao Cao's banner, only then did Chen Yang find out that Cao Cao had escaped.

"This Cao Cao is really cunning …" Xu Rong looked at Zhang Banxian and shook her head while smiling bitterly. He then called out to Xu Ning and ordered: "Throw the foot soldier aside and lead the cavalry to chase after him. You must catch Cao Cao no matter what.

Xu Ning waved his hands and led the cavalry to chase after him. Two hours later, they finally saw a dozen or so riders in front, and Xu Ning had already ordered his arrows to be shot. He wanted it no matter what, he didn't want to capture it alive, in case this cunning fellow ran away again.

His horse was once again hit and knocked down, causing Cao Cao's face to be covered in dirt. Seeing Xu Ning's cavalrymen getting closer and closer, Cao Cao thought: The heavens are destroying me too! Could this be my burial ground?

Cao Hong immediately jumped down from his horse and helped Cao Cao up. Behind them, the sounds of killing could be heard, the situation was extremely urgent. Cao Hong gave his horse to Cao Cao, who immediately rejected it. Cao Hong panicked, and said loudly: "There can be no Cao Hong in this world, there can't be no Cao Cao!"

Cao Cao was so moved that tears streamed down his face, and he did not have time to be courteous, as he hurriedly climbed up the horse. Cao Hong followed him on foot and fled in the dark night. It was also because of God's blessing, that before he could run a few steps, Bao Xin's group had caught up to them.

"Bao Tao, you will lead the team to cut off the rear while the others will retreat gradually." Seeing that Xu Rong's cavalry had caught up, Bao Xin knew that Cao Cao had lost. He did not dare to fight with Xu Rong at all, and immediately ordered his own brother to cut off the rear, while took a few steps back with him.

Although Bao Xin ordered the soldiers to retreat step by step, those soldiers, when seeing the cavalry soldiers rushing towards them, did not dare to resist at all. Bao Tao wanted to resist for a while longer, but in the blink of an eye, he was slashed off his horse by Xu Ning.

Cao Cao finally made it back to Jujube and immediately ordered Cao Hong and Cao Ren to count the people. He really didn't know, but when he saw his, he was shocked. Cao Cao's five thousand men were already less than five hundred. Wei Zi's five thousand men were gone without a trace, just Bao Xin's five thousand men still had more than a thousand men. It was just that his brother, Bao Tao, was never going to come back.

Seeing that his army only had these few heads left, Cao Cao's heart ached so much that he almost fainted. For the sake of these soldiers, not only had he sold his own property, he had also received an immense amount of support from Wei Zi. It had only been a single battle, but all of his efforts had been for naught.

However, what made him even angrier, was that just as he was returning from his defeat, the Duke of Guandong gathered in Acid Date were having a feast, celebrating how the fame of the Guandong Allied Army scared Dong Zhuo away. In fact, they didn't know that Dong Zhuo had only moved Emperor Liu Xie to the Chang'an. He himself was still in charge of the Luoyang, and wanted to fight against the other Duke of Guandong s.

When Cao Cao's armor scattered, his clothes messy, his head full of dust, his body covered in blood, and he miserably entered the celebration feast, the dukes were truly shocked. Fortunately, Cao Cao was short, so they recognized him immediately. When they understood that Cao Cao had suffered greatly, it immediately attracted the ridicule and ridicule of countless people.

"General Fanwu, I've said that we should consider it from a long-term perspective … How can you ignore it? Right now, you might be injured, but even Wei Zi and Bao Tao have lost their lives! That Dong Zhuo is not like the Ant bandit back then … In the future, it's best to stabilize the important parts! "

Knowing that Wei Zi died to save Cao Cao, Zhang Miao could not help but feel some heartache. No matter what, Wei Zi was still his subordinate, and losing five thousand troops just like that was his loss. He thought that Cao Cao was someone important, but in the end, he was nothing more than that, and from then on, Zhang Miao no longer held him in any regard.

Looking at Cao Cao's miserable state, Yuan Shao could not help but sneer in his heart. However, as the Alliance Master, he only said in a friendly manner, "You … Why didn't you listen to my advice? To barge in and implicate more than ten thousand soldiers into the battle, do you have any regrets? "

"Thank goodness we didn't go, otherwise that would have been terrible." Gongsun Zan looked at Liu Bei, and said softly: "Back then when we exterminated Guangzong Zhang Jiao, although she was defeated, the fighting strength of the West Cold Army was not to be underestimated, Cao Cao had never seen it before!"

Liu Bei smiled knowingly and did not say a word.

No one knew who it was, but he put down the wine cup heavily and said angrily, "You are really overestimating yourself! He had only killed two or three Ant bandit s and said he was a hero. He actually dared to lead thousands of people to counterattack Dong Zhuo's two hundred thousand people. If I were to become the Alliance Master, I will definitely kill this person and stabilize the morale of the troops. "

Cao Cao had just lost a battle and was in need of comfort and encouragement, but unexpectedly, he was scolded and mocked by the Duke of Guandong s. He could not help but get angry, and started fighting in different places. Cao Cao looked at the audience with eyes full of disdain, and said coldly.

"If you guys listen to my suggestion, please ask Yang Lin to lead the Youzhou army to force your way into Hanoi, and all the dukes stationed there will occupy Cheng Gao, seal up Tai Gu and control all the dangerous regions. Then, you will request Yuan Shu to lead the Nanyang army to Dan Shui, Chu County, and attack the martial gates to threaten San Yu region. All the armies had set up their camps, defending themselves without a fight. The more suspicious the soldiers, the more likely it was that the armies of the world would gather together and then, as a matter of fact, demand for rebellion. The situation could be settled very quickly. Right now, we are known as the draft soldier, but we have been hesitating and have disappointed the people of the world.

Hearing Cao Cao's harsh criticism, the dukes sitting around the table did not make a sound. One ear went into the other, as if he had just eaten a defeat.

Although there were countless grievances in Cao Cao's heart, they could only be swallowed. The reason why these dukes didn't put him in their eyes was because he didn't have the strength or foundation. Now, he had a defeated general hanging on his head, and he was increasingly looked down upon by others. He angrily turned around and coldly said, "A young man is not worthy of being a schemer!"

Cao Cao didn't even drink a mouthful of wine as he walked angrily into his tent. Seeing his strategist Zhou Zhi and his generals Xia Hou Du, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Le Jin and Li Dian waiting in his tent, he couldn't help but say angrily.

"Now that the world is in chaos, all the dukes are thinking about how to preserve their strength and no one is willing to take the risk and fight with Dong Zhuo. If we want to achieve great things, we have to show respect to the ones who win, and we must gather thousands more soldiers and horses. "

When he heard that Cao Cao was going to recruit more soldiers, he couldn't help but frown and hesitantly said, "Thousands of men and horses, perished in one battle. I am afraid the entire CHENLU COUNTY does not believe that you have the ability to lead troops into war, and will find it difficult to recruit you. "

Cao Cao's advisor, Zhou Zhi, had helped Cao Cao to recruit two thousand soldiers the moment he had started to fight. He was a staunch supporter of Cao Cao and immediately came up with an idea: "If Yanzhou and CHENLU COUNTY don't believe me, we will recruit them from the other State County. Right now, the allied armies of Jing Prefecture, Henan Province, Fu Prefecture and Yi Prefecture were all present, and the troops had run out of resources. It would be better for them to leave Danyang far behind. My brother is a taiwai, we will go and recruit him! "

The Dan Yang Soldier was a strong soldier that pointed out that he was part of the Danyang, and was famous for having many strong soldiers. Dan Yang Soldier was a famous elite in history. They were fierce and ruthless, able to fight often, endure hardships and endure hardships, their reputation shook the world.

During the time of the Han Wu Emperor, Li Ling, the grandson of Li Guang, had led five thousand alchemy soldiers to fight against the eighty thousand elite Huns, and fought with all his might in the absence of reinforcements. In the end, only four hundred people were left to retreat, and with the courage of eighty thousand Huns, five thousand Dan Yang Soldier s was enough to make the Huns fear even more.

When Cao Cao heard that he could recruit a Dan Yang Soldier, his small eyes could not help but light up. "Good! We will immediately go to Danyang. When I was in the Luoyang, I had dealings with the Yangzhou Stinger Warm, and now that he is quite prestigious in the Yangzhou, I believe he can help me out. "

In desperation, Cao Cao thought that he could no longer stay like this and handed the remaining five hundred soldiers over to Le Jin and Li Dian. He then brought along his advisor Zhou Jing, as well as his generals Xia Houton, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Ren, Cao Hong and the others, and left the city, rushing straight towards Yangzhou.

After working hard all the way, Cao Cao finally reached the Yangzhou. He casually bought some local products on the streets and paid a visit to the Yangzhou Stinger Warm and the taiwai Zhou Xin. Cao Cao had prepared a draft text half-way through, immediately denouncing Dong Zhuo with a strong sense of righteousness and anger. He embellished the details of Dong Zhuo's crimes to them, especially when he talked about how Dong Zhuo had tainted first emperor's concubine, which made his narration even more vivid and vivid. He only captivated the two old fellows, Yangzhou Stinger Warm's and taiwai's Zhou Xin, with his narration.

When Cao Cao finished his speech, Chen Rou and Zhou Xin, the two old fellows, were also extremely angry. The first emperor's concubine was a taboo that everyone in the world hated. They didn't even dare to think about it, but this old fogey had taken advantage of them and almost angered the two old fellows to death.
