Hearing the lieutenant general's words, he turned his head to look at the Cao Jun soldiers in the distance behind him. Wherever these civilians were willing to continue fighting, they all threw away their weapons and fled to the side.

This made a group of Cao troops hiding behind the soldiers angry, but at this moment, the number of these Cao troops was smaller than that of the light cavalry, and the bow and arrow of the light cavalry had a long range. He hid in the mountains and didn't even dare to show his face.

After Huo Qubing's lieutenant gathered a group of ordinary people, he was surprised to find that the number of people hidden in this valley was only a mere [-], and the Cao army who took care of these ordinary people was only two or three thousand people.

With such a small number of people, in addition to the fact that ordinary people have basically escaped now, without any hesitation, the lieutenant ordered the light cavalry to attack.

Although the number of [-] light cavalry is not particularly large, but the momentum of the arrows pouring out, can really frighten the [-] Cao army in the mountains.

These soldiers were Xi Zhicai's soldiers who transported food and grass in the rear. They were originally the weakest part of Cao's army. It was okay to bully the people on weekdays.But when it is placed on the real battlefield at this moment, it is immediately revealed.

For a time, the [-] Cao troops were beaten by [-] light cavalry, crying father and mother, and many more Cao troops ran out of the mountains crying, throwing the weapons in their hands, and simply imitating those ordinary people. Prepare to surrender.

It's just that the soldiers of the light cavalry are not so polite to Cao Jun who oppressed the people.They all took their weapons and called ropes to tie each other up, and then they gave up.

At this moment, the Cao army hidden in this valley, and the ordinary people disguised as ambush soldiers, have been completely eliminated.

And Huo Qubing's lieutenant also quickly sent someone to pass the news to Huo Qubing.

At this moment, Huo Qubing, after passing through the valley, was chasing him all the way.

It's just that this place is already a mountainous area, which is not conducive to the cavalry's pursuit. In addition, in the process of retreating, Cao's army deliberately left various obstacles on the mountain road, which made Huo Qubing's army even slower.

After Huo Qubing's Qingqi walked out of the mountain with all the hardships, he could no longer see the shadow of Cao Jun.

Unwilling, Huo Qubing only chased after him for a while, and this was when he saw the large army of Cao Jun ahead, but at this moment, the distance between Cao Jun and the city was not too far.

Even if Huo Qubing chooses to pursue him now, there is no possibility that he will be able to keep the opponent.

In desperation, Huo Qubing had to circle twice outside the opponent's city, and provoked him for a long time. Seeing that the opponent was determined not to come out, he could only lead his troops to retreat.

It's just that Huo Qubing didn't expect that in the city, Cao Cao was looking at his light cavalry with burning eyes, and he sighed repeatedly in his confession.

"Zhicai, how do you know that Huo Qubing will come to chase us?" Cao Cao was relieved when he saw Huo Qubing's army gradually retreating, he looked at Xi Zhicai who was beside him, and asked.

Xi Zhicai also raised his eyes to look into the distance and said with a wry smile: "My lord, when Cheng Yu offered a plan that day, I stopped the lord, Liu Rui's army is far more powerful than us, this time Liu Rui only used two An army of [-] has defeated our [-] troops, and its combat strength is enough to explain everything."

877: Cao Cao sighs

Hearing Xi Zhicai's words, Cao Cao nodded speechlessly, and then said, "Let's go, let's go back first!"

Xi Zhicai was silent, and the two returned to the city with their own thoughts.

Walking on the street, Cao Jun's injuries can be seen everywhere. This time, Cao Cao's army fled in a panic, but threw all the baggage aside, but the city where they are now is only a small county, where food, herbs and medicines are stored. They are not rich, so up to now, this should be a tight supply.

"Oh, it's my fault, if I didn't listen to your dissuasion, how could our soldiers suffer like this!" Cao Cao couldn't help but sigh.

Xi Zhicai was also moved in his heart, and couldn't help but said, "Master, don't blame yourself, it's because your subordinates are incompetent, and the subordinate's suggestion at that time was too pessimistic. Conspiracy!"

Cao Cao shook his head and sighed: "Thanks to you, Xi Zhicai, if it weren't for you, I, Cao Mengde, would have been in a different place by now, and maybe I would have been reduced to that Liu Rui's prisoner!"

Cao Cao's sighs were not without purpose. When Xi Zhicai led the reinforcements to scare off Huo Qubing's pursuers, Huo Qubing's light cavalry was unable to resist Cao's army. Under this pursuit, the casualties of the entire Cao army will be even more tragic.

Thinking of this, Cao Cao couldn't help but sigh.Looking at Xi Zhicai again, he asked, "By the way, Zhicai, you haven't said where those ambush soldiers came from? Could it be our newly recruited soldiers?"

Hearing Cao Cao's words, Xi Zhicai's face darkened, and after a moment of silence, Xi Zhicai said helplessly: "My lord, our new recruits have all been taken away by you, this time the subordinates will arrange The ambush soldiers were actually made by the people who were arrested in front of them..."

"What!" Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, then looked straight at Xi Zhicai and asked, "How can you do this?"

Xi Zhicai shook his head and smiled bitterly: "My lord, if your subordinates don't do this, how can they help you this time?"

Cao Cao was stunned again, but this time, he was speechless.

As Xi Zhicai said, if there were no Xi Zhicai's ambush soldiers at that time, and Huo Qubing's light cavalry were allowed to continue to pursue and kill, perhaps Cao Cao's army would have been completely destroyed by now.

Thinking of this, Cao Cao sighed and said, "That's it! That's it! Now, we don't care about benevolence and righteousness anymore! If our army of [-] people can't keep it, we will face Liu Rui in the future. There is really no resistance! At that time, any kind of benevolence and righteousness will be useless!"

Xi Zhicai nodded silently. The most important reason why he agreed with Jia Xu's strategy this time was that he took a fancy to this point.

But what Xi Zhicai did not expect was that he had just set up the fire on his side, and Cao Cao's army on the other side had already been killed by Liu Rui's army and fled in a hurry.

If he Xi Zhicai came so late, I am afraid that even if there are [-] people who are forcibly recruited to act as suspects and ambushed soldiers, it will be useless at that time.Peerless Tangmen www.jueshitangmen.info

Thinking of this, Xi Zhicai was also frightened for a while, and couldn't help but asked, "My lord, I heard that we had the upper hand at the beginning, why did we suddenly retreat completely?"

"The upper hand? I'm afraid that Liu Rui did it on purpose!" After all, Cao Cao told Xi Zhicai about the situation on the battlefield, and even Cheng Yu's commander at the end. Nothing is hidden.

Xi Zhicai pondered for a long time before sighing: "My lord, we have also played against Liu Rui many times, but his style of play this time is completely different from before!"

Cao Cao nodded, and then he said doubtfully, "I was also puzzled at the beginning, but now that I think about it, it's relieved!"

Hearing Cao Cao's words, Xi Zhicai became even more puzzled, and couldn't help but ask, "Does your lord know what happened in Liu Rui's army?"

Cao Cao nodded and said, "Have you noticed that during the decisive battle between our two armies, the command style of Liu Rui's army was very similar to that of one person!"

Xi Zhi was stunned for a moment, and then he said, "Huo Qubing?"

Cao Cao nodded his head heavily, and then he said, "This Huo Qubing led the light cavalry to attack us many times in the past. At the beginning, although his light cavalry was powerful, there were not many people, and its shortcomings were also very obvious, so it took a long time. Come on, our attention to this person is far lower than that of generals such as Zhao Yun and Li Cunxiao."

Having said this, Cao Cao sighed: "It's just that I never thought that I would have made such a big mistake in the hands of Huo Qubing!"

Xi Zhicai also sighed: "Yeah! The changes in the situation that the lord said at the time were probably caused by this person. He led the light cavalry to fight all the year round, and his grasp of fighter opportunities in local battles is unparalleled. Although Cheng Yu's strategy was a slant, it was not without merit, if Huo Qubing was our commander at that time, I'm afraid the result of this battle would have to be rewritten!"

"Why don't I have such talents under my command?" Cao Cao sighed up to the sky, clenched his fists and said bitterly, "Then Liu Haosheng is just a deceiver, why are there so many good generals? Such as Zhao Yun, Li Cunxiao, Xiang Yu, and Li Ruohai. It’s not an exaggeration, after all, Liu Haosheng was originally very skilled, and it’s not an exaggeration to be able to tune and teach fierce generals, but a talent like Huo Qubing, I’m afraid you won’t be able to find it even with a lantern!”

Xi Zhicai also felt the same way, and said in a low voice, "My lord praises Huo Qubing as a genius, and it's really pertinent! This time we were not defeated by strategy, nor by force, but by defeat. If it weren't for Huo Qubing, even Liu Rui would have nothing to do with our Forty Army Array!"

"Yeah!" Cao Cao sighed helplessly, and after a few more sighs, he said with burning eyes: "If it is possible, I would rather exchange a hundred thousand troops for this Huo Qubing, as long as this person is there, we are here In a local war, it will definitely not suffer!"
