The Three Kingdoms

"I hope Tiger and Leopard Riders won't let us down!"

Tian Feng nodded iǎniǎn, and said in a deep voice: "Once Guangwu is breached, all our arrangements for Yanmen County will be destroyed. The offensive and defensive positions are about to be reversed!"

Wei Jun was able to force Wu Jun to retreat step by step, relying on Wu Jun's cultivation and rest, and did not recover his combat effectiveness. Once the blood wolf army regained its combat effectiveness, this battle would be difficult to fight.

"Report!" The voice of an orderly sounded outside the camp.

"Come in!"

Cao Hong's eyes moved slightly, and he said in a low voice.

"Report to the general, the tiger and leopard cavalry have withdrawn!" The messenger came to report: "Two hours ago, the tiger and leopard cavalry suddenly went south and let go of Guangwu city!"

"what?"

When Cao Hong heard this, his expression was furious: "What's the matter with Cao Zihe, does he dare to defy the army's order? Where is he now, let him come to see me immediately!"

Tigers and leopards are out of his control.But in today's battle situation, he is the main general. If the tiger and leopard cavalry put the line of defense without authorization, it is tantamount to violating the military order.

"General, calm down first. General Cao Chun should not be a person who doesn't understand military orders. There must be a reason for his sudden retreat!" Tian Feng stood up and said admonishingly.

"General, this is a secret military letter from General Cao Chun!"

At this time, another messenger came in from outside.

"I'd like to see why he withdrew his troops?"

Cao Hong tore open the envelope directly, and when he opened it, his face changed in shock.Immediately folded the letter again, then waved his hand, and directly dismissed the generals: "You go out first, I have something important to discuss with the military adviser!"

"promise!"

The generals were at a loss, but still respected the military order and withdrew from the camp.

"General, what happened?" Tian Feng frowned as he looked at Cao Hong who was obviously panicked.

"Look for yourself!" Cao Hong's face was ashen, and he handed over the military secret letter in his hand to Tian Feng.

"Luo Yang...how is this possible?"

Tian Feng couldn't believe it.

"I don't want to believe it either. But His Majesty's King Qin Order is absolutely true, and this matter must not be known to the lieutenants. Therefore, if we want to find a reason for the tiger and leopard cavalry to retreat, we must stabilize the morale of the army, or we will lose this battle!" "

Cao Hong forcibly calmed down and said.

"Yes, the news that Wu Jun hit Luoyang is too heart-wrenching, we must keep it a secret!"

"What now?"

"General, we can't fight this battle!" Tian Feng also reacted quickly: "We will let go of Guangwu City, fight a battle in Yinguan, and then quickly retreat to Taiyuan. The next step is to switch offense and defense. !"

"I'm not reconciled!"

"That can't be helped. Once the news of Luoyang Battle comes, the morale of the army will be in chaos immediately, and it will be too late for us to retreat!" Tian Feng said firmly: "We must retreat as soon as possible to stabilize Taiyuan!"

"it is good!"

Cao Hong nodded: "I'll gather my troops immediately, without giving them time to react, and start fighting overnight, first at the Yanmen Gate, then at the Yin Hall, disturbing their sight, you take this opportunity to retreat!"

Liangzhou, Jicheng.

Cao Wei's black dragon battle flag flew high in the sky of Jicheng, went down to Jicheng without bloodshed, and took down the Liang army without a fight. Every Wei soldier was very excited.

However, in Wei Jun's main barracks, the atmosphere was extremely gloomy.

"This is the Imperial Father's imperial edict, what do you think of a certain family?"

Cao Ang raised his head, looked at Guo Jia and Zhang Liao in a bewildered manner, and asked.

He had just conquered Liang Country and the whole of Xiliang, but within a few days, what Luoyang sent was not an imperial decree for rewards, but an imperial decree from King Qin who rushed thousands of miles away.

This edict, like a cold voice, directly chilled his heart.

"In today's weather, the road is blocked by heavy snow, even if we lead the main force back, it will be too slow!"

Guo Jia gritted his teeth, his face was ugly, he calmed down, thought for a while, and then said: "The only way is to use Ma Chao's Xiliang iron cavalry!"

"No, Ma Chao just surrendered. If he has a different heart and turns against him, the situation in Guanzhong will be even worse!" General Xu Huang immediately objected.

"Military Master, Liangguo was defeated by us, Ma Chao must have resentment in his heart, is this useful?" Cao Ang asked in a low voice.

"His Royal Highness, at critical times, you must employ people boldly!"

Guo Jia said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty's safety is the priority now. With Ma Chao as the main general and Pang De as the deputy general, we can lead [-] Xiliang iron cavalry and return to Guanzhong first. We gather the rest of the main force of the cavalry before returning !"

"But?"

Cao Ang thought for a while, and became a little hesitant.

"His Royal Highness!"

Zhang Liao, who had been keeping his eyes closed for a while, suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes turned cold, and he said directly: "I have received an order from His Majesty to make temporary decisions, so from now on, all military orders of the army will be decided by me without any objection. !"

"promise!"

Cao Ang swallowed a mouthful of saliva, iǎniǎn nod, he knew this iǎn, although Zhang Liao looked shameless, but this was the right that Cao Cao gave him, and he could only accept it.

"Now, I order that Ma Chao will be the main general and Pound will be the deputy general. They will lead [-] Xiliang iron cavalry. Before dark, the camp must be dismantled. If there is any disrespect, the military law will be merciless! Pang De, go and tell Ma Chao that since he surrendered , When respecting the military order, don't let someone down, otherwise the butcher's knife of a certain family will not make him feel better."

Zhang Liao was decisive in killing and attacking, and his words were decisive and unquestionable.

"promise!"

Pound nodded, stood up, and strode out.

"Feng Xiao, Pang De is a little soft-hearted. Once Ma Chao really has something different, he may not be able to see Ma Chao. You go with the army!"

Zhang Liao thought about it and added something.

"Understood!" Guo Jia iǎniǎn nodded.

"Xu Huang, Sima Yi!"

"exist!"

"The two of you immediately gather all the cavalry now, and then advance, and must return to the pass in the shortest possible time!"
