Three Kingdoms: Hegemony System

chased and fled, and the time soon came to noon.

I don't know how far I walked, Cao Ren saw that the soldiers were exhausted, and every step was difficult, so he had to order to rest in place.

Now, Cao Ren understands that it is time to make a decision.

Cao Ren called Cao Hong and said weakly: "Zilian, you go and kill all the horses and give them to the soldiers to eat." "

"Kill the horses? How can this be done?" Cao Hong was taken aback and said, "If there are no horses, how can we find out about the situation of the pursuing army?"

Cao Ren said in a deep voice: "Now is not the time to say this, the most important thing is to let the soldiers fill their stomachs, you quickly do what I say." "

"Wow!" Cao Hong sighed, and had to turn around and let his men slaughter all the only dozen or so horses.

Jiang Ji licked his lips and said to Cao Ren, "The general has already made a decision?"

"I'm at the end of the day, and I have to do this. Cao Ren clenched his fists tightly, if he can escape this time, he will definitely return it in the coming day!

This defeat is enough for Cao Ren to remember for a lifetime.

Cao Ren immediately called a lieutenant, named Wang Rong, who was one of his most capable subordinates, but at this time, he couldn't care so much.

"Wang Rong, after the repair is completed in a while, I will lead a hundred men to the east, and you will continue to lead the soldiers to the north, and you can flee as far as you can. Cao Ren gritted his teeth and said.

"Subordinates obey!" Wang Rong did not hesitate in the slightest, even though he knew what Cao Ren was doing this for.

On the other side, Cao Hong had already let the horses be killed, although there were more than a dozen horses, but there were nearly 3,000 soldiers, which was not enough for everyone to eat.

This is still the result of soldiers falling behind along the way.

In order to avoid a fight over horse meat, Cao Ren had to ask Cao Hong to distribute it, which took a lot of time.

In the end, when the horse meat was distributed to the soldiers, everyone got only a thin piece of meat the size of a palm.

Moreover, there is no way to make a fire now, so everyone can only eat raw meat, tear off one with their teeth, chew it twice, and swallow it.

Even so, the soldiers and soldiers of Cao also ate with relish, they had fled all morning, they were already tired and hungry, and it was good to have such a little food.

Although Cao Ren is the coach, he doesn't get much, because he knows very well that now is the time to share hardships, and if he gets too much, it will cause a mutiny.

Cao Ren bit the horse meat while looking at the soldiers around him, thinking that as long as he ate the meat, he would have the strength to continue to escape.

In the coming days, the whole army will fight again, and Liu Jue will definitely be defeated.

However, it was not long before a rapid trumpet sound came faintly from the south.

"The pursuers are coming?" Cao Ren was taken aback, and the surrounding Cao soldiers, like frightened birds, stood up in a panic.

"Listen to the sound, it should be a few miles away!" Cao Hong said with wide eyes and gritted teeth.

Jiang Ji's face was full of bitterness, and he said: "How can there be any reason for the chasing soldiers to blow the horn? The other party must have done this on purpose, in order to let us know that they are coming, so that our army will be in great turmoil." "

"It's too much to deceive people!" Cao Hong held the saber, his face was full of hideousness, and said to Cao Ren: "Brother Zixiao, let me lead a thousand soldiers to fight them to the death!"

"Zilian, don't be impatient, I've made a decision. Cao Ren clenched his fists tightly, and a sense of humiliation swelled in his heart, the other party was completely playing them like monkeys.

Knowing this, he might as well have fought to the death with the pursuers from the beginning, maybe he wouldn't be as embarrassed as he is now.

"Brother, what's the best plan?" Cao Hong was stunned for a moment and asked.

Cao Ren smiled bitterly, had to tell Cao Hong, and then said: "In this situation, I can only do this, otherwise you and I will be caught." "

After Cao Hong listened, he opened his mouth, and finally didn't say a word.

Cao Hong knew that this was the most correct decision.

Seeing that time was running out, Cao Ren knew that it was not the time to delay, so he immediately found the clothes of the pawn and changed them with Cao Hong, Jiang Ji and others.

Subsequently, Cao Ren said to Wang Rong 'take care', and then together with Cao Hong and others, he went to the east with a hundred personal soldiers.

Wang Rong continued to lead the remaining soldiers and fled north.

But Cao Ren couldn't have imagined that his perfect plan would be seen by others.

Niu Zhi is a hunter in the nearby mountains, in his twenties, and usually makes a living by hunting, and the prey he catches is either eaten by himself or sold to the wealthy people in the city.

In this chaotic year, Niu Zhi's life was very stable, and he married a quite real wife.

Today, Niu Zhi came out to hunt as usual, but he suddenly encountered a group of soldiers.

There is nothing unusual about encountering the army in these years, Niu Zhi has encountered it before, and knows that many of these soldiers are murderous without blinking.

Therefore, Niu Zhi did not dare to act rashly, so he had to find a place to hide, so as not to be discovered by these soldiers, and planned to wait until they were gone before leaving.

However, Niu Zhi soon noticed that the soldiers looked extremely embarrassed, as if they had just lost a battle.

And then, Niu Zhi saw everything in his eyes, and only after Cao Jun left in a hurry did he dare to come out of his hiding place, intending to continue hunting.

Niu Zhi walked towards the south, what he didn't expect was that after walking for a while, he met a group of soldiers, not only the team was very neat, but also the number of people was even larger.

However, this time Niu Zhi was unlucky, he was discovered by these soldiers, and in the end he was very unlucky to be caught.

Niu Zhi was so frightened that he knelt down and begged for mercy: "Ladies and gentlemen, the little ones are just hunters in the mountains, just passing by here, please spare the little ones!"

Gan Ning glanced at Niu Zhi a few times, but found nothing suspicious, and immediately asked, "Let me ask you, have you encountered a group of deserters in front of you?"

Niu Zhi dared to hide it, and hurriedly said: "I saw it! I saw it! I have already gone to the north." "

Gan Ning laughed and said, "Then Cao Ren can really run, I'll see how long he can run!".

Niu Zhi swallowed his saliva, remembered what he had just seen, and hurriedly said: "This general, I still have important things to report, beg the general not to kill me." "

Gan Ning said funny: "You say come and listen, I won't kill you." "

Niu Zhi hurriedly said: "Just now I saw the leader of the group of deserters, who changed the clothes of the pawns and fled eastward, they seemed to call each other Lian Zixiao or something. "

Gan Ning was taken aback and hurriedly asked, "What you said is true." "

"The little one definitely didn't dare to hide it from the general. Niu Zhi said with a shrunken head.

"Come with me and report this to our general. Gan Ning didn't say a word, and asked his subordinates to escort Niu Zhi to Liu Jue.

After Niu Zhi saw Liu Jue, he saw that this general was so young, he must be a high-ranking official, and he didn't dare to hide it, so he hurriedly told everything he had just seen.

Even, even the appearance of Cao Ren and Cao Hong was described.

"Cao Ren, Cao Ren, this is really God is going to kill you!" After Liu Jue heard this, he couldn't help laughing, if he hadn't met this hunter, he might have really let Cao Ren run away.

At this time, Pang Tong said: "Young General, it is better for our troops to divide into two routes, one way to continue to pursue to the north, and one to the east, so that Cao Ren will not be able to run away no matter what." "

Liu Jue knew that Pang Tong's proposal was out of prudence, and immediately ordered: "Gan Ning, you lead two thousand people to continue the pursuit, and I will take people to the east to have a look." "

"Whew!" Gan Ning responded, immediately led two thousand soldiers and horses, and continued to pursue northward.

"Take this man with you, and the army turns eastward. Liu Jue glanced at Niu Zhi and said to him: "Don't worry, if what you say is true, I will be rewarded at that time." "

Where did Niu Zhi dare to have an opinion, so he had to be obediently escorted by Liu Jue's soldiers and followed behind the army.
