Han Meng nodded and said, "It should be him."

When the words fell, I heard Zhao Yunyang on the bridge say, "I am Zhao Zilong from Changshan, who dares to fight to the death with a certain one?"

Zhao Yun's voice didn't shake people's eardrums, but it was exceptionally clear, reaching the ears of everyone present. Although it was peaceful, it had an aura of calm and prestige that made people palpitate.

Han Meng was a little puzzled. Looking at Zhao Yun's appearance, he didn't feel flustered at all, and listening to his voice, he didn't have any abnormalities. This is definitely not something that can be pretended.

If it were an ordinary person with only such a small number of people, it would be absolutely impossible to maintain such calmness, and it would be good if they didn't pee their pants.

Han Meng knew that Cao Cao and the pottery merchant were scheming people, so it was not advisable to fight rashly for a while. After all, a sneak attack was inherently dangerous. What if Cao Cao was on the road before Xuchang? Heavy troops were placed, and Zhao Yun was the bait, if he was a little careless, he would be killed instead.

In particular, Zhao Yun's current performance is really too confident, and he has a well-thought-out plan, and those who are not happy can't do it. Isn't this making trouble? It's really bullying, I can't understand it

Unless this person is full of courage and fearless.

At this time, Zhao Yun suddenly shouted again, "I am Zhao Zilong from Changshan, who dares to fight to the death with me."

This time the shout seemed to be more intimidating than before.

Li Shan said to Han Meng, "General, this Zhao Yun is standing alone on the pontoon bridge, and he is still confident, and he is not panicked at all. There must be a fraud in this general. Look at the forest behind him. The general has been observing for a long time. There is faint dust flying around inside, it seems that there are elite soldiers buried here, maybe the potter and Cao Cao have already set up an ambush here, waiting for Zhao Yun to lure us there."

Han Meng nodded heavily, and said hesitantly, "This general also has the same opinion. Since this is the case, we might as well retreat for now. Don't fail to defeat Xu Chang. If we turn around, we will be blamed by the general. The loss outweighs the gain."

After Han Meng and Li Shan stopped discussing, they immediately commanded the troops to retreat cautiously while guarding against Zhao Yun and the others.

Hiding in the dense forest, watching Yuan Shaojun gradually disappear, the pottery merchant heaved a long sigh of relief.

When he was young, he came out of the dense forest, came to Zhao Yun's side, patted his horse's head, and said, "Second brother really worked hard today. Today, he was able to scare away Yuan Jun and keep the foundation behind. Second brother should remember the first merit." , thanks to your not panicking before the battle, it gave Han Meng the illusion."

Zhao Yun couldn't help laughing bitterly when he heard the words, "Third brother said this, I don't have any first achievements, it's just a good luck, if it is normal, they really come over, I'm afraid I will have to escape for my life, where is it?" And what kind of credit does Xianxin take here, what kind of ostentation he puts on."

The potter shook his head lightly, and said with a smile, "Second brother, what are you talking about? Luck is also a kind of strength."

While the two were talking, a cavalry soldier from the Jinling White Horse Army came on horseback, and said to Tao Shang, "Teacher, behind our official road, Cao Jun from Xuchang is rushing in our direction."

"Cao Jun" The pottery merchant was confused, "Whose soldiers and horses are there?"

The cavalry shook his head and said, "I don't know, I just saw the word Cao on the banner."

"Cao," the potter said to himself suspiciously, "Cao Ren, Cao Chun, Cao Hong, and Cao Xiu are all wrong. These people are all at the front line."

While talking, there was a burst of dust, and the Cao army that the scouts were talking about came to the potter at a fast speed.

The leader is Cao Ang impressively.

Although Cao Ang was in Xuchang, he also knew that his side was joining forces with pottery merchants. It was impossible for Cao Cao not to tell him about such a big strategic policy.

But Cao Ang didn't have a good impression of pottery merchants. Although he had never met pottery merchants, he had seen Zhao Yun's banner beforehand, and knew that these people were his allies.

Seeing the potters on the official road, Cao Ang frowned, "I am Cao Ang, the eldest son of Cao Sikong, who are you and why are you here?"

The potter suddenly realized.

It turned out that the boy in front of him was the eldest son of Cao Cao who wrote the Xiaochun essay for himself to revise.

Although I have never seen it before, Tao Shang and Cao Ang fought a fierce battle, and the final result was that Cao Ang was provoked.

"I am a pottery merchant. I am here to deploy soldiers and horses to prevent Yuan Jun from attacking Xuchang. Mr. Cao, we have not seen each other for a long time."

When the potter reported his name, Cao Ang was shocked, "You are the potter"

Tao Shang nodded, and said, "On normal days, you may call me Tao Shang, but right now I am your ally, and I have an equal relationship with your father. Nephew, you should call me Taifu or uncle."

Cao Ang sniffed, feeling depressed.

He really wanted to scold the potter, but after all, he was his ally, and without his father's permission, he couldn't do anything wrong, so he just snorted, and then called the soldiers under his command to follow him across the bridge.

But the pottery merchant stopped him, "Young master Cao, why don't you sit in the rear for your father in Xuchang city and lead your troops out?"

Cao Ang didn't stop his horse at all, he just yelled, "This is my family's business, don't bother me to take care of it, I'm leaving."

After all, before the potter could continue to speak, he led the soldiers to rush across the pontoon bridge first, and the soldiers behind him also passed by under the surprised and puzzled eyes of Zhao Yun and others.

The pottery merchant looked at Cao Ang's soldiers and horses passing by, and said suspiciously, "I heard from Cao Cao that his eldest son should be guarding Xuchang for him with Man Chong right now. Why did he suddenly lead his troops out? Could it be that Cao Cao had The former sent people to ask for reinforcements, but the reinforcements shouldn't be sent to the battle, right?"

Zhao Yun was not as complicated as the potter thought, he was just thinking about an extremely serious problem.

"Looking at the direction of those Cao troops, they seem to be going to Guandu Dazhai. What will happen if they catch up to Yuan Jun's soldiers who were scared off by us?"

These words hit the lifeblood of the theme, directly making the potter's hairs stand on end and shuddering.

Zhao Yun mentioned the key point.

The pottery merchant waved his hand and said, "Oops, I just saw this little calf just now, and I am confused, second brother, you should send someone to chase after him quickly, so that Cao Ang must not provoke Yuan Jun's soldiers who have already retreated, so as not to kill them again." Bring it back."

Zhao Yun glanced at the pottery merchant leisurely, and said, "It's fine to send someone there, but I think he might not listen to you from his attitude."

At this time, Han Meng left the pontoon bridge where the potter's army and horses were ambushing, and was heading back little by little. He thought in his heart that this trip was safe and safe for him.

However, Xuchang has not been captured, so what should be done next is to wait or retreat directly

Maybe I should stay and have a look, after all, I was too careful just now, and I was in a hurry to withdraw.

But when Han Meng was hesitating about his next move, scouts had reported that a large number of Cao soldiers were chasing him from behind and were moving rapidly towards his position.

Han Meng was taken aback when he heard it at first, and then suddenly overjoyed

"These soldiers and horses must be the ambush soldiers in the forest behind Zhao Yun just now. Seeing that I won't go in, I can't help chasing them out. It's so good. I will fight with them and see how much they weigh. If it is not enough, then go back to attack Xuchang and send orders to the three armies to form formations to meet the enemy."

Chapter 558 The Conqueror

Beside the pontoon bridge, the potter and Zhao Yun looked at Ang Xingxing together.

"Do you think I should try to stop him just now?" Tao Shang looked at Zhao Yun depressedly, his mouth full of resentment.

Zhao Yun gave a very objective evaluation: "I don't blame the Grand Tutor for this matter. Just now, most of our soldiers followed Kong Ming's instructions in the dense forest to arrange the eight formation diagrams, in case Han Meng did not want to control the sudden attack. , Cao Ang’s soldiers and horses are at least thousands of people, how can we stop him just now with these few people standing on the pontoon bridge with me?”

The pottery merchant frowned, and said, "I heard from Cao Cao that the brat was ordered to guard Xuchang right now, and he suddenly led the troops out of the city to go to the Guandu battlefield. Could it be that he ran out privately? If that's the case, that brat will be messed with." Disaster."

Zhao Yunchang sighed, shook his head and said, "It's not easy to say whether Cao Ang led the troops privately, but this is an internal matter of their Cao army. The only thing that the general is worried about at the moment is that if Cao Ang runs into Han Han. Meng, if you fight against him beyond your limits, what should you do if you lure Han Meng back again?"

The pottery merchant patted his chest with a smile, and said: "Cao Ang is also Cao Cao's future successor after all, and he will not be confused about the seriousness of the matter. If he sees Han Meng's soldiers and horses, he knows that he is invincible, and he will definitely retreat. , how can you easily fight against him, isn't that courting death, I guess he can't be so sloppy"

While talking, the Jinling White Horse Army scout following Cao Ang's army galloped back like crazy, and eagerly said to the potter and Zhao Yun: "Teacher, General! Something is wrong! After Cao Ang's soldiers and horses chased for several miles , happened to meet the army under Han Meng's command."

The potter raised his eyebrows and said, "How did Cao Ang do it? He withdrew slowly."
