Chapter 500 Is There Anyone Else?

Cao Cao heard the shouts from afar and was a little confused for a moment. Then he shouted happily: "Catch him!"

"No matter what the conditions, I want him to be at my service!"

"If I could capture Zilong, the world would be at peace!"

Before he finished speaking, the counselors and generals around him looked at him with strange expressions.

They thought to themselves, is Cao Cao crazy?

The other party is not only a governor of the same level as Cao Cao, but also Yuan Shao's son-in-law. What can be used to recruit him?

And the biggest question is, why does Zhao Yun appear here?

When Cao Cao saw that everyone was looking at him like a fool, he finally realized that Zhao Yun's status was no longer what it used to be, and he was afraid that he would not be able to gain his loyalty!

Thinking of this, Cao Cao felt a sense of loss in his heart. This ferocious tiger was very good at judging people and acted very quickly, getting ahead of him several times!

He was still a little unwilling, and waved his hand and said: "The Youzhou army is already at the end of its strength. Even if he comes alone, he can't change the overall situation!"

"All the generals who can go up, surround him and try to capture him alive!"

He thought that he must take Xuzhou. Not only must he win the battle, but he must also fight to support the war and get more generals and soldiers!

Previously, Cao's army defeated Liu Bei's army at night and wanted to capture Liu Bei alive, force him to surrender, and then recruit two powerful generals, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, to offset the losses of this expedition to Xuzhou and even make a lot of money.

As a result, Liu Bei disappeared, and Cao Cao's hopes were dashed. Now he could only hope to kill Yuan Xi and then recruit his advisers and generals.

Now that Cao Cao saw Zhao Yun rushing towards him, he was immediately excited and planned to capture Zhao Yun alive!

Dozens of generals in Cao's camp received the order and mounted their horses, surrounding Zhao Yun. They thought to themselves, with only dozens of people on their side, how could they be afraid of Zhao Yun alone?

On the other side, Yuan Xi saw Zhao Yun arrive in time and finally breathed a sigh of relief, feeling relieved.

At the beginning, Guo Jia noticed the abnormality in Xuzhou in advance and consulted Zhao Yun. Zhao Yun immediately took all the elite cavalry he could mobilize in Jicheng, rushed to Yuyang Port overnight, and sailed straight to Haixi.

Before boarding the ship, Zhao Yun sent a messenger from Jicheng, along the secret post route set up by Yuan Xi earlier, south to Jizhou and Qingzhou, and directly to Haixi to report the news.

After several horses were exhausted to death, the messenger finally arrived in Haixi and delivered the letter to Yuan Xi more than a day in advance, letting Yuan Xi know Zhao Yun's movements.

This is the courage that Yuan Xi had to use himself as bait. The hundreds of elite cavalry in Jicheng are the most elite force of the Youzhou Army. Now they are at their peak and they launched an attack on Cao's army!

Seeing Zhao Yun leading hundreds of Youzhou cavalrymen rushing into Cao Chun's cavalry group like a whirlwind, the Cao cavalry had been fighting repeatedly and were not much better off than the Youzhou soldiers. They were suddenly hit and were immediately torn to pieces, screaming and falling off their horses.

When the generals in Cao's camp saw this, they all roared and surrounded Zhao Yun. When Yuan Xi saw this, he shouted, "Zilong is coming!"

"Everyone, come together!"

Many of the Youzhou soldiers had participated in the Battle of Anyi. They witnessed Zhao Yun killing three generals of Li Jue in a row and his fame soared. They became excited again and rushed forward shouting, fighting with Cao's army.

At this time, Zhao Yun was trapped in the center of Gai by the generals of Cao's camp. He swung his spear, and it was like pear blossoms floating in the snow. Silver light flashed all over his body, and every move was aimed at the vital points of the generals.

He conserved his energy, wore the best armor, and used the best gun, and he made it impossible for the exhausted generals in Cao's camp to get close to him. A few of those with poor martial arts skills were wounded as soon as they met, and were almost stabbed to death. They dodged in panic, but ended up hindering the people around them, and dozens of people were in chaos.

Seeing that his opponent was unable to move freely, Zhao Yun realized that this was a great opportunity. He took a deep breath, his face flushed, and the speed of the gun in his hand suddenly doubled. With a puff, the tip of the gun pierced the throat of a Cao general.

The tip of his spear shook, and a spray of blood drew a circle, and the splattered blood blinded a general's eyes. The man subconsciously raised his hands to cover his eyes, but Zhao Yun's spear arrived earlier and pierced his armpit, killing him to the core.

The generals were shocked and angry, and they stabbed Zhao Yun with their spears. Zhao Yun saw that the enemy had more people and more power, so he turned his horse around and ran away. However, one of his generals rode out, drew the sword on his back, and slashed Zhao Yun in the back.

When everyone looked, it was Cao Cao's sword-wielding deputy general Xiahou En. He was holding the precious sword Qinggang Sword, and relying on the sharpness of his weapon, he was about to chop Zhao Yun off his horse.

However, Zhao Yun twisted his waist and lay sideways on the saddle. The steel spear in his hand had already drawn a big circle like a dragon and pierced Xiahou En's face like lightning.

Xiahou En screamed and fell off his horse and died, but Zhao Yun used the tip of his spear to pick up the sword in Xiahou En's hand and took it in his hand.

With a casual flick of his hand, he cut off the thigh of General Cao who was chasing him. The man fell off his horse and rolled on the ground screaming.

These movements were extremely fast, and in just a few blinks of an eye, three people in Cao's camp were killed. The generals were terrified and could not help but slow down their pace of pursuit.

Zhao Yun had also overdrawn a lot of physical strength. He gasped for breath and took the opportunity to distance himself.

Xun You saw this from afar and said to Cao Cao anxiously, "Sir, if we don't get rid of these two dragons and tigers, they will become disasters!"

"If you want to capture Zhao Yun alive now, I don't know how many lives you will have to sacrifice!"

Cao Cao's expression changed several times, and he finally made up his mind and gave the order: "Kill them all, leave no one alive!"

After hearing this, the generals in Cao's camp put aside their worries, surrounded Zhao Yun and attacked his vital points. Zhao Yun was not afraid, and charged left and right with a steel spear in his hand, cutting in and out of the crowd. Wherever he went, people screamed and died.

All the generals knew that Zhao Yun would run out of strength at any time, but they were impressed by his courage and did not dare to approach him.

But everyone present knew that a cavalry charge would not change the overall situation. Now that Cao's army was pouring in like a tide and surrounding the Youzhou army, they would be exhausted to death if they relied solely on human lives!

As time passed, Zhao Yun's physical strength continued to decline, and Cao's army gradually regained the initiative on the battlefield. Seeing this, Cao Cao laughed.

Everyone was confused, Cao Cao laughed and said: "I laugh at the fierce tiger, it is already at the end of its strength, if he ambushes an army here."

Before he finished speaking, another troop of infantry came running over from a distance, and the leading general shouted, "The trap camp is here!"

After hearing how many people she had killed, Lü Lingqi, who was already exhausted, smiled at Yuan Xi and said, "Uncle Gao is here!"

Seeing hundreds of Xianzhen Camp rushing into the battlefield, Yuan Xi smiled bitterly. This time he had sent out all his elite troops.

After Zhao Yun boarded the ship from Yuyang Port, he was followed closely by Gao Shun, who was training the Xianzhen Camp in Yuyang.

After receiving the news, he immediately assembled hundreds of soldiers from the Xianzhen Camp and followed Zhao Yun south on another boat. Because the soldiers on the boat were easier to manage than horses, he was able to catch up with them by a considerable distance on the sea, so he entered the battlefield only a moment later than Zhao Yun.

When Cao Cao saw Xianzhen Camp joining him, his face changed. It seemed that Xionghu had made sufficient preparations for the surprise attack on Xuzhou?

Is he really not trying to take advantage of the situation and plot against me?

Once this thought came to mind, Cao Cao became suspicious. If this was true, did the other party have any other plans?

Cheng Yu said coldly: "Envoy, now we must kill him at all costs, and then retreat quickly!"

"Otherwise, Yuan Shu's army and Yuan Tan's army, who are spying on us, will take advantage of us when they see how weak we are!"

After hearing this, Cao Cao decisively waved his hand and the two sides started fighting again.

The battle lasted from morning to afternoon. Neither side had any rest for most of the day. Soldiers from both sides kept falling down, and the battle became more and more brutal. However, Cao's army, relying on its numerical advantage, finally slowly took the initiative on the battlefield.

No one dared to look at the ground, because it was already covered with dense corpses and blood, making it difficult to walk.

However, the two counselors Cheng Yu and Xun You who were watching the battle beside Cao Cao gradually felt relieved, because they realized that although most of the Youzhou army were still able to stand, in another half hour, their physical strength would be completely exhausted, and no one would be able to escape by then!

Gao Shun wiped the blood off his face, approached Yuan Xi and said, "Envoy, the Xianzhen Camp will fight to the death to open a gap so that the young master and the lady can escape!"

Lu Lingqi asked, "Where's Uncle Gao?"

Gao Shun's expression remained unchanged. "In the future, I will rely on you and Marquis Wen to avenge me."

When Lu Lingqi heard this, her eyes turned red. Gao Shun shouted, "Madam, why are you acting like this?"

"This is a battlefield. Why are we all here? Madam, haven't you figured it out yet?"

Lu Lingqi suppressed her grief and said, "In the future, I will definitely take off Cao's head!"

She knew that they would break out soon, and she didn't know how many people would be left, but Gao Shun would definitely not survive if he was the last one to leave!

Yuan Xi's face became serious. "I won't say much. If anyone dies, the living people will help him avenge today's grudge!"

When Cao Cao saw that the Youzhou army began to shrink its formation, he knew that the other side could not hold on any longer, and he finally felt relieved.

He also paid a huge price this time, but killing Yuan Xi and occupying Xuzhou was a sure win for him. Only in this way could he deal with Yuan Shu without any scruples, strengthen his strength, and then completely turn against Yuan Shao!

It doesn't matter if more than half of the 30,000 soldiers die. I can still recruit soldiers when I go back. When the time comes, I will go to war with Yuan Shu. As long as I win a few battles, I can capture a large number of the enemy's soldiers, and my strength will increase dramatically!

The premise of all this is that the ferocious tiger cannot interfere with himself.

Through countless simulations, Cao Cao's advisers discovered that no matter what the situation and outcome, Yuan Xi would always be the biggest obstacle.

With this person in Guangling, not only will Cao Cao be unable to attack Shouchun with peace of mind, but he will also be plotted against by Yuan Xi. So Cao Cao decisively decided that even if Yuan Xi was a member of the Yuan family, he must be killed!

In the face of the rich rewards of Xuzhou and Yuzhou, it is absolutely worth it to kill Yuan Xi at the risk of going to war with Yuan Shao!

Seeing that the outcome of the battle was about to be decided, Cao Cao felt relieved, but another thought came to his mind.

The other party should have no more tricks up his sleeve, right?

He chuckled a few times, and everyone looked at him. Cao Cao laughed and said, "I laugh at the fierce tiger who has reached the end of his rope. If..."

But in the noisy and chaotic battlefield, some slightly unusual sounds were heard.

This dull and rapid sound came from far away and was coming from the rear of the rear army led by Cao Cao!

Cao Cao quickly turned his horse's head, and everyone followed his gaze to look at the plain behind him, only to see a figure riding a horse, running towards them quickly.

Red horse, green robe, Green Dragon Crescent Blade!

The Qinglong Sword dragged along the ground, leaving sparks more than ten feet long along the way!

Cao Ren, who was standing nearby, saw this and exclaimed, "It's Guan Yu!"

"Be careful of his sudden attack, Yan Liang was killed by him!"

After hearing this, everyone protected Cao Cao in the middle. They thought to themselves, no matter how powerful he was, he was only one man. How could he be more powerful than Zhao Yun?

Why did General Zhang Yi of Wu Dang Flying Army borrow money to see a doctor and fight the final battle with Wu Dang Flying Army? Why did Prime Minister Zhuge Liang not join Zhuge Dan of Wei State when he knew that fighting six states with one state would make him die of exhaustion? Why did Prime Minister Zhuge Liang's successor die of exhaustion? How charming is Liu Bei? You will know after reading "Mi Han". I strongly recommend the excellent book "Mi Han"~
