A young, burly man jumped out, pointing his sword at Cao Cao: "You bullied our Eastern Wu's sister-in-law! Cao traitor, you're tired of living, prepare to die! Watch how I, Lü Meng, deal with you."
Upon hearing this, Cao Cao dared not linger for a moment.
Zhang Liao covered the rear, and Cao Cao ran for his life.
After running for a long time, Cao Cao was so exhausted that his liver and gallbladder were about to burst.
I don't know where it is.
Suddenly, another person shot out from the side, shouting: "Cao traitor, prepare to die! Ling Tong is here! Anyone who bullies my sister-in-law from Eastern Wu will not have a good end!"
Cao Cao was terrified.
If it weren't for a fierce general who rushed to Cao Cao's side and blocked Ling Tong's attack, Cao Cao would surely have lost his life.
It turned out to be Xu Huang.
Xu Huang fought alongside Ling Tong in a chaotic battle.
This gave Cao Cao the opportunity to flee north.
Cao Cao was already in a sorry state.
Fortunately, Cao Cao's generals Ma Yan and Zhang Kai came to his aid on the hillside.
Cao Cao felt a little more at ease when he saw that he had more troops around him.
However, he was only slightly safer, and Cao Cao had traveled less than ten miles.
The battle cries rose again, and the leading general shouted, "I am Gan Xingba of Eastern Wu! Since joining Eastern Wu, I have been highly regarded by the Sun family and Lady Da Qiao, and I will never allow anyone to bully her! Cao Cao, your life is over."
Gan Ning, with his fierce courage, charged out and with a single stroke, cut Ma Yan off his horse, and flung Zhang Kai far away with a single blow.
Cao Cao didn't even dare to look at it.
While Gan Ning was fighting, he ran away as fast as he could.
As Cao Cao ran, he thought, "I should try running to Hefei instead! Soldiers will come to my rescue from there."
Unexpectedly, Lu Xun, Taishi Ci, and others had already arrived on the other side, leading their troops and waiting in ambush.
Behind Lu Xun, Sun Quan led even more troops to guard the area.
There's no way!
Cao Cao had no choice but to flee in panic to Yiling on the other side.
Taking a roundabout route home.
Fortunately, they encountered Cao Cao's camp and Zhang He's troops on the way.
It was a rollercoaster ride, a miraculous escape from the brink of disaster.
Under the protection of Zhang He, Zhang Liao, and Xu Huang, Cao Cao rode at full speed for a whole night.
Cao Cao looked back and saw that the flames at Chibi were still there, but they were gradually fading away.
Cao Cao was still shaken.
Cao Cao asked Xu Huang, "Where have we arrived?"
Everyone said the police would be there soon.
Cao Cao thought of Gong'an, and then of his own disheveled state.
Thankfully, I'm still alive!
Along the way, the trees were dense and the mountains and rivers were steep. Cao Cao suddenly became interested and began to lecture his generals on military strategy:
"Alas! Zhou Yu is nothing special! And that Zhuge Liang is just a country bumpkin! This battle was only because we northerners are not good at water. We didn't lose unjustly. But if I were in charge of the army, I would definitely ambush a group of troops here first."
Cao Cao meant that he was still dissatisfied that Zhou Yu, Zhuge Liang, and Sun Quan hadn't dealt him a severe blow.
At least in this respect, Sun Quan did not completely block Cao Cao.
If he had gone there, Cao Cao would have eventually made a comeback.
Cao Cao had barely finished speaking, and before he could even laugh, his voice rang out.
Shouts were already rising from that road, and flames were breaking out.
Cao Cao was startled when he saw this.
Sure enough, a fierce general suddenly appeared on the road, shouting, "I am Zhao Zilong of Changshan! I have been waiting here for Cao Cao for a long time on the orders of the strategist Zhuge Liang!"
Upon hearing that their opponent was Zhao Zilong, Xu Huang and Zhang He both went into battle.
Cao Cao stopped adhering to military strategy.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, they fled quickly, ignoring the fireworks.
Like Gan Ning, Lü Meng, and Ling Tong before him, Zhao Yun fought fiercely, and his battle formation was quite formidable.
Unfortunately, Cao Cao was very experienced in escaping, as he had suffered many defeats.
Cao Cao would never linger in a muddy place.
Such a situation.
After Cao Cao crossed the Yiling Road, he encountered Zhang Fei again.
Cao Cao was starving and thirsty, and had no dry food, so he had to kill his horse and eat the meat. He sat on the ground, took off his wet clothes, and let them dry in the wind. He looked very pitiful.
Zhang Fei then charged out.
Cao Cao didn't even give him a chance to catch his breath.
When Cao Cao saw Zhang Fei's full beard and small, beady eyes, he panicked and began to flee again.
To be honest, Cao Cao was getting on in years and it wasn't easy for him.
But I just want to find two more beautiful women.
However, I just want to expand my territory a bit more.
All he wanted was for himself to achieve greater things a century after his death, so that his name could be inscribed on his epitaph.
He wanted to dominate the entire country, hoping to gain both fame and beauty.
But this time, Cao Cao really suffered a terrible fate.
When Cao Cao reached a fork in the road, he encountered two paths.
Exhausted and wounded, Cao Cao's personal guards asked, "There are two roads ahead. Which one should we take?"
Cao Cao asked, "Which road is shorter?"
Xu Huang said, "Although the main road is flat, it is fifty li away. The side road is Huarong Road, which is close to fifty li away. However, Huarong Road is very narrow and the terrain is dangerous and not easy to travel."
Cao Cao considered both options.
Given that the pursuers who had been lying in ambush along the way were either from Eastern Wu or from that scoundrel Liu Bei.
Cao Cao was very frustrated by what he had been done.
He also sent people to a high point on the mountain to take a look.
The scout returned and said, "There seems to be smoke over the side road, but it's quiet and still over the main road."
Cao Cao thought about this formation carefully, and thought about it very deeply.
Cao Cao suddenly had a flash of inspiration and felt that he should do the opposite.
Everyone thought he wouldn't take the side roads, because they were prone to ambushes. They assumed Cao Cao would definitely take the main roads to escape quickly.
No!
This time, Cao Cao firmly believed that he was also a man skilled in military strategy and tactics.
