There are gentlemen in the Three Kingdoms

Because Pang De is a newly promoted captain, after being cut off from Yan Xing, who was also a newly promoted captain in Han Sui's army, he didn't want to let Cao Cao catch the treasure.

Pang De and Yan Xing fought bravely against Xia Houyuan, Cao Hong, Yu Jin, Le Jin, and Dian Wei. They were not afraid and brave, and their performance deeply shocked Cao Cao.

Afterwards, Cao Cao designed to capture the two of them, salute them, and resorted to various tricks to recruit them...

Seeing Pang De's bravery, Zhao Yun also felt compelled to compete.

As a warrior, being able to meet a strong enough opponent is indeed a great blessing in life.

Pang De cheered up and fought fiercely with Zhao Yun. The two horses galloped back and forth and staggered, setting off a cloud of dust on one part of the battlefield.

At the rear of Cao Jun, Cao Cao had led the Chinese army to the front of the formation at this moment. He squinted his eyes and watched the battle in the distance. He was silent for a long time, but suddenly heaved a long sigh.

"Thinking of the boy who was conquering Dong Zhuo back then, his army was no more than five thousand, and his general was no more than Xu Chu... Now that he has so many elite soldiers and fierce generals, if Cao wants to pacify the southeast, he may not be able to do it by force."

Standing behind Cao Cao, Cheng Yu suddenly looked up at the sky and said, "Sikong, it's going to rain heavily."

Cao Cao nodded and said, "Ming Jin! Order the three armies to withdraw from this valley."

Cheng Yu was startled when he heard this, and said: "Sikong, although Jinling's generals are brave, they may not be invincible. We have already chased here, and retreating rashly may be at the disadvantage of the army."

Cao Cao stroked his short beard, and said with a smile: "It's okay, the Jinling army fought fiercely with our army based on the terrain, and they are in defense. At this moment, Cao is asking for gold to withdraw the army. With the wisdom of the potter, he will definitely not drive the army to pursue... ... At most, it is just a feint attack from a distance, just acting like Cao Mou, hehe, even though he is young, he is also proficient in the art of war. After all, he is a student of Huangfu Gong... He also knows that if at this time It is bound to be disadvantageous for Cao's soldiers to go to the plains."

Cheng Yu was completely puzzled.

From this point of view, Cao Cao really did not intend to destroy the pottery merchants in one battle, and he did not have the ability to do so.

Then Cao Cao worked so hard to drive his troops here, what is the reason for it?Could it be that they just wanted to test the strength of the Jinling Army?

If this is the case, Cao Cao's goal has been achieved, and the strength of the Jinling Army is indeed extremely strong.

The hundred-faced golden gongs behind Cao Jun were knocked up at the same time.

After hearing the loud voice, the soldiers and horses of Cao Jun's various ministries continued to fight the Tao Shang army, and at the same time gathered all the troops and horses of the various ministries as much as possible and took a defensive position.

Behind the Jinling army, Xu Rong, who had been in charge of the Chinese army, sent someone back to ask the potters in the rear, saying that Cao Cao wanted to retreat and whether he would pursue him.

The potter immediately asked the opinions of the two masterminds beside him.

To chase or not to chase?

Guo Jia immediately remonstrated: "Cao Jun retreated before showing defeat. I'm afraid there is some deceit among them. The Taifu can rush slowly and put on a show. Don't go deep into this valley. Let's see what tricks Cao Cao is playing." There are gentlemen in the Three Kingdoms)

Chapter 364 Broken Friendship

"Boom~!"

The pouring rain suddenly began to pour down from the sky without any warning, making the land around Jiuli Mountain muddy and difficult to walk on.

Just now, the Cao army and the Jinling army fought fiercely in the valley. The two sides either took advantage of the geographical advantage or the harmony of the people to carry out a short-term head-on confrontation.

Although the scale has never reached the tragic and huge scale of plain warfare and siege battles, it is still very intense.

After the two sides tested each other's strength, they stopped sticking together, and it was also a test of the other's deep and shallow strength.

This is also the first head-to-head confrontation between Cao Cao and the potter since they met each other.

But at this moment, Cao Jun turned from offense to defense, and withdrew from the Nine Mile Valley, and the potter didn't dare to pursue too quickly, he just drove his troops to the mouth of the canyon, and the battle between the two sides came to a standstill for a while.

After Cao Cao's army turned out of the valley, they did not rush back to the army. Instead, they took up their positions and faced the Tao merchant army carefully arranged at the mouth of the Jiuli Valley.

Although both sides were a little tired, they were not yet at the level of mutual injury, they just confronted each other cautiously, watching each other from a distance.

Facing the heavy rain from the sky, the pottery merchant let the rain flow down his forehead to his cheeks, and then dripped into the soil from his chin. He looked at the huge army formation of Cao Jun in the distance with a pair of smart eyes in puzzlement.

"Cao Mengde, what exactly do you want to do?" The potter muttered to himself.

At this moment, he saw a school official riding a horse from the north. After entering the rear formation, he came to the potter and Guo Jia, got off his horse, and reported the battle situation in the north to them.

And as the school official talked more, the faces of the potter and Guo Jia changed from initial doubts to calmness.

That's it!

No wonder Cao Cao wanted to withdraw his troops out of the valley to form an array.

The old boy Yuan Shao actually came secretly to pick up the leak!

The potter took a long, deep breath and redefined Yuan Shao in his mind.

Don't judge a hero by success or failure. Although Yuan Shao lost to Cao Cao in history, it is undeniable that he is indeed an extremely powerful character.

At this moment, he still thought of seizing the opportunity to attack and kill himself and Cao Cao in one fell swoop!

Moreover, if nothing unexpected, Yuan Shao killed Cao Cao's father and planted the blame on Xuzhou.

For a long time, Yuan Shao's small actions can be said to have been non-stop.

And Cao Cao is worthy of being the number one hero in the world. He saw through Yuan Shao's tricks and tricks twice in a row, and used them to turn the situation to his best advantage.

These two extremely powerful enemies seemed to be their allies not long ago.

Thinking of this, the potter couldn't help but smile, feeling an indescribable feeling in his heart.

Although four years ago, he knew that there would be such a day between each other, but for some reason, when this day really came, he still felt a little blocked in his heart.

Presumably, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao should be the same, but they are more reluctant to show their feelings than themselves.

As the master of the people, no matter how blocked his heart is, he can't show his weak side.

And the pottery merchant has also understood at this moment, the significance of Cao Cao sending troops to chase him this time.

I have to say that Cao Cao is also a very responsible hero!

It seems that he just wants to use today's events to lure Yuan Shao out!

The traitorous heroes in troubled times also have their bottom line. Cao Cao may have been tired of fighting each other in such a secret way.

He just wanted to put things on the bright side today!

The three armies are in battle, and the alliance of Yuan, Cao, and Tao will come to a complete end on the battlefield under the situation led by Cao Cao today!

After today, there will be no alliance of these three in the world!

From now on, it will be a matter of course whoever fights with each other.

……

Yuan Shao's front vanguards, Yan Liang and Wen Chou drove the cavalry under Yuan Shao's command, and were galloping towards the ancient battlefield of Jiuli Mountain. Seeing the army formation of Cao Cao and the pottery merchants, which could already be seen clearly, the two generals looked at each other At a glance, he was about to drive troops to launch an attack, but suddenly found that the situation was not right.
