The Three Kingdoms become stronger when they get treasures

Chapter 247
Cao Jun's rear army was on fire, and all Cao Jun's navy were desperate, knowing that they had no way out.This is not on the ground, the big deal is to forget it, but on this Hanshui, they can't find anyone to fight even if they try their best.There are only two ways to wait for them, either to be burned to death on board, or to jump into the water.

There is no doubt that he would die on the boat, and he would almost die if he jumped into the water, but there was still some hope, so Cao Jun jumped into the Han River one after another, just like dumplings in a pot.

Although the Han River did not freeze, it was still very cold. After all, it was the cold winter season. Even if some of Cao's soldiers could swim, they would freeze to death in a short time.Of course, some were lucky. After jumping into the water, they shouted to surrender when they saw a warship from the Jingzhou Army approaching, and then they were caught and taken as prisoners honestly.

Of course, there were also those who were shot or stabbed to death before they could shout out their surrender.This is on the water, so it is inconvenient to take so many prisoners.

After igniting Cao Jun's iron chains and even the boat, the Jingzhou Army didn't bother to care about them. Anyway, they were either burned to death or drowned, and they couldn't escape even if they were allowed to run. The most important thing now is to take advantage of the chaos to pursue Cao Jun. There are 20 Cao's troops in the water, but there are still 20 on the shore.

Zhang Wuliu and Liu Pan led the troops of the headquarters to continue to exterminate the survivors in Cao Jun's water army, and ordered other ministries to quickly sail to the north bank. Zhao Yun's big ship carrying [-] cavalry also rushed over quickly.

Zhang Fei deliberately took a small boat to look for Zhang Ying, but he couldn't find it after searching for a long time. Seeing that the army was about to take advantage of the victory to attack Cao Jun's Luzhai, he had to catch up with the army and boarded the big boat to Guan Yu's side.

"Second brother, this fire was so enjoyable! Cao Cao's 20 army was burned in one blow. Even if Cao Cao was not burned to death this time, he must be so distressed! Hahahaha..." Zhang Fei was excited laughed loudly.

Guan Yu was also very excited. Cao Cao brought a total of 40 troops here this time, and this fire burned half of them. This is the main force of 20!Even if the 20 troops on land were allowed to run back, Cao Cao's vitality would be severely damaged, and it would take many years to replenish.

"That's right. After this fire, Cao Cao's remaining 20 troops must also be demoralized and demoralized. This is a good time to defeat the enemy."

"We have fought against Cao Cao for so many years, and today we are relieved. Zhang Wu is really good at fighting!" Zhang Fei said, looking back at the burning warship.

"Third brother, although we are considered the elders of the Great Governor, there are no fathers and sons in the army. You must respect the Great Governor in the future." Guan Yu persuaded, after all, Zhang Wu is now the commander of the army.

"Ha, don't worry, second brother, I remember it, and I will pay attention to it in the future!" Zhang Fei said, and now he felt that fighting with Zhang Wu was too much fun.

In the Battle of Hanshui, Zhang Wu summoned the south wind to help in the battle at a critical moment, and burned Cao Cao's warships with a fire. The 20 troops were burned to death, drowned, frozen to death, and no less than 15 of Cao's troops were killed. Thousands of people fled, most of whom were from the rear army who were a little farther away from the battlefield.The rest became captives.

Zhang He, the former general of the army, was lucky. After getting on the boat, he rushed left and right, and finally escaped.Mao Jie, the commander of the left army, also escaped. This guy had the experience of escaping last time. When he saw the fire ahead and the wind direction changed, he quickly jumped into the boat and rowed downstream of the Han River, and then went to the north bank again. land.

However, Lu Tong, the general of Cao Jun's right army, was stabbed to death by Zhang Fei, and Lu Qianning, the commander of the rear army, would not escape, but committed suicide.

Yu Jin and Cao Cao also escaped because they ran early, but there were warships from the Jingzhou Army chasing after them.

At this time, Xiahoudun who stayed on the north bank already knew the real situation, because they also felt the change of the wind direction very quickly, and everyone was terrified. The prime minister was on the warship. What if something happened?
Although Cao Cao abolished the Three Dukes at this time and served as prime minister, controlling absolute power, there were also many hidden dangers.First of all, Cao Cao has not yet determined an heir. If he dies suddenly, the situation after Yuan Shao's death is likely to occur; secondly, Cao Cao has killed many people in the past two years, and many famous people, such as Kong Rong, have already died. Many gentry were dissatisfied with Cao Cao; in the end, although the current emperor has no power in his hands, he is the emperor after all. This status is very useful at critical times, and there must be hidden royalists in the court. If Cao Cao dies now, Those royalists might take the opportunity to attack.

Therefore, if Cao Cao died now, the Cao family might be exterminated, let alone keep their current power.

"Don't panic, general. The prime minister is in the middle army. If he sees a fire ahead, he will definitely board a boat and evacuate. He may be on his way back now. The general will send someone to meet him!" Sima Yi, who stayed behind, said suddenly.

When Xiahou Dun heard it, it made sense, so he quickly sent people to board the boat to meet Cao Cao. In case it was true what Sima Yi said, it would be good to help the prime minister block the pursuers.

Under the guard of Yu Jin, Cao Cao and several advisers who accompanied the army fled desperately to the north, but the pursuers behind them were getting closer and closer.Cao Cao was very anxious. If he was caught up by the Jingzhou army on the Han River, he would have to be a prisoner except to jump down to feed the fish.

Cao Cao regretted it now. If he had known this would happen, he shouldn't have led the water army out.This fire burned his 20 elite army, and he has no power to conquer Jingzhou since then. This fire can be said to have burned Cao Cao's dream of unifying the world.

But it's not over yet, I haven't escaped yet, if I'm caught up before I escape to the shore, it's over, Cao Cao doesn't think Zhang Wu will let people take some treasures to redeem him after he captures him Own.

Moreover, there are still 20 troops on the shore. If it is known that the 20 navy troops in front are basically wiped out, the army must be in chaos.

The 20 army on the shore is Cao Cao's last fortune, so nothing can happen.

Cao Cao really deserved his life. When the Jingzhou army was about to catch up, suddenly a fleet of ships rushed up to the wind, but they were all small boats. There was no way, the big ships were all locked together by Cao Cao.

This fleet was sent by Xiahou Dun to meet Cao Cao, led by Zhang Liao, who was overjoyed to see that Cao Cao was safe and sound.

"Prime Minister, General Xiahou specially sent me to meet the Prime Minister!" Zhang Liao shouted.

Cao Cao immediately felt relieved, fortunately he had this army to support him, otherwise it would be hard to say whether he could escape back to the north bank today, "Wen Yuan came just in time, hurry up and block the pursuers!"

Zhang Liao immediately ordered two of his generals to block it, but it was Yuan Shao who sent down Ma Yan and Zhang Wei.

The Jingzhou army that was chasing after it was Ding Feng, the commander of the Xiangyang navy, and the soldiers under him were all serious sailors who were proficient in sailing, so they walked faster.

Ma Yan and Zhang Wei led troops to stop them. After the two sides fought for a while, Ding Feng chopped Ma Yan into the water, and then Ding Feng suddenly jumped on Zhang Wei's warship. Zhang Yi was killed with a single blow.

Ma Yan and Zhang Wei died, and the remaining soldiers were killed by the Xiangyang navy, but after this obstruction, Yu Jin and Zhang Liao escorted Cao Cao to the north bank, and Xiahou Dun joined the army.
