Reborn in the Three Kingdoms Novel - Chapter 100

Chapter 100 The Consequences of Cao Cao’s Laughter
“General Sun, now we have been defeated guo, and kill it, shouldn’t we go to general cao to see.” After Zhang Chao completed his first step, he began to plan his next step.

“Extreme, but there are many generals in Cao Cao’s army. It shouldn’t be as strenuous as us, right?” Although sun chien nodded his head and agreed, but there was a trace of anger in his words.

Faced with the same number of enemies, Zhang Chao was no more than 3,500 soldiers, and he was indeed able to eliminate his opponent first to rescue him. On the other hand, Cao Cao’s strength was obviously superior, and there was no movement at all. Naturally, the clear-headed man knew the reason behind this.

“Haha, is it okay if we go and help? It will save him some time to say something.” Zhang Chao chuckled, as if he didn’t believe it.

Saving sun chien, is to let each other owe him a big favor, and to help cao cao, is the most important step in the plan, not to take this step, it is difficult to complete their own plan.

Under the insistence of zhang chao, sun chien also did not oppose. Nominally, everyone was still allies. It was also within their duty to help. Just like that, after the two armies met, they headed towards Cao Cao’s mountain overnight.

Cao cao here, don’t know what happened outside. Being surrounded by the mountain made his information much more sealed off.

Although he didn’t know what was happening outside, Cao Cao wasn’t worried at all, because he had relied on the advantage of the mountains and hadn’t suffered any losses in the past few days. The main force was even present. If he wanted to, he would only need to charge once and be confident that he could defeat Li Qiu at the foot of the mountain.

Without doing so, cao cao is just waiting for news from other aspects.

Like lombardi, cao cao also has through this battle to defeat dong zhuo at the same time also want to play to consume the strength of the coalition forces.

To put it bluntly, Dong Zhuo was just one of the many dukes, only because he did not know how to restrain himself, which caused public indignation. But who can guarantee that there is no selfishness? It was like this time, the Five Route Alliance Army had their own ideas, either for fame or for profit.

Even so, these people might become enemies in the future. It would be great if they could use the enemy’s hand to weaken the enemy’s strength in the future. Cao cao then safely stay on the mountain, no intention of rebounding. On the contrary, he ordered his subordinates to repeatedly show their defeat and lure Li Qiu to continue attacking.

Li jue was indeed created by cao cao fake confused. Looking at the repeated attacks, it was as if he had almost rushed to the top of the mountain, so he sent troops to launch a fierce attack again and again. In three days, half of the seven thousand soldiers he had brought with him had been killed or wounded.

Today was already the fourth day of the attack. Li Qiu stood in the tent all morning and looked at the mountain in front of him. He finally felt hesitant.

If they continued fighting like this, no one dared to guarantee that they would be able to attack. However, if they did not attack, what would happen if the other party rushed down the mountain?

Li Qiao was considered a tiger general under Dong Zhuo’s account, and he was more or less wise. He also understood the principle of thinking about defeat before winning. After this morning, he made a decision that the attack would continue, but he had to be prepared to withdraw at any time.

The remaining three thousand and five hundred soldiers were made new arrangements. One thousand of the cavalry were led by him, ready to retreat at any time. The remaining two thousand five hundred soldiers were divided into five echelons and attacked one after another. They were testing Cao Cao’s strength. If they were still unable to attack, they would retreat.

After arranging the military affairs, the attack began. The thunder drums rang out in unison, and a new wave of attacks was officially launched one day at a time.

Cao Cao calmly stood up and ate his breakfast. He heard the sound of the war drum. He couldn’t help but smile and say, “This Li Qiao, you really don’t remember to eat or fight. You still want to attack me. Forget it, just play with him.”

Cao cao to take precautions against the main, adequate preparation, under the advantage of troops, Li Qiao simply can’t get any advantage, this point in his heart naturally know, that is so, what’s the hurry?

Let them fight well, wait for a long time, dong zhuo’s military forces were consumed, the other military forces of the coalition forces were also consumed, at that time who else and oneself to snatch control of the emperor? Thinking of this, he actually laughed out loud.

In history, after Cao Cao’s defeat in the Battle of Red Cliff, he laughed several times and summoned several ambushes. If it wasn’t for his kindness to Guan Yun, he would have died there. And now this laugh also did not have a good end, laughter did not stop, the general’s outside shouted: “General at the end of the visit to Lord.”

“Come in.” Cao Cao stopped laughing and looked out of the door, thinking that the battle generals below must have come to ask for help again. In the past few days, Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou’s petitions were not few, but they were all suppressed by him. After defeating Li Qiu so quickly, what should we do next to help the other allied forces? Wasn’t that a loss to the prestige of his own army? Such a thing would never be done.

‘”Master,” said Xiahou Dun, kneeling on one knee, “the foot of the mountain has suddenly become chaotic. I watched as if reinforcements had invaded. At the end of the day, I will ask for help.”

“What?” Hearing that reinforcements might be coming, Cao Cao was stunned. He was about to put down his bowl and chopsticks and took half a step forward to ask Xiahou’s question, “Yuan Rang, can you see who came?”

“I can’t see it clearly from too far away, but reinforcements should definitely arrive. Master, in the battle of a few days, our army has already lost more than half of our troops. We can’t let anyone else take this advantage anymore.” ‘s raised his head and looked at Cao Cao, saying word by word.

“That’s right. We can’t let others take advantage of us. But who will help me? Could it be Yuan Ben Chu? No, I shouldn’t. Did I underestimate his generosity?” Cao Cao stood there, still wondering who the reinforcements were. Outside the door, the curtains were lifted, and the counselor, Xu Zhi, walked in. “Lord, don’t ask who it is. We should all rush down the mountain right now. Otherwise, we’ll lose all our merits.”

Xi Zhicai was extremely clever. He was indeed one of Cao Cao’s most trusted counselors. After hearing this, he came to his senses and said to Xiahou Dun, who was still kneeling on the ground, “Yuan Rang, immediately lead the troops down the mountain. Quickly!”

“At the end of the day, I will obey.” Hearing that he could finally kill him properly, Xiahou Dun’s face was filled with joy, and he stood up and retreated.

Cao Cao glanced at Xi Zhicai and saw that the other party was also shaking his head. He knew that this person could not think of anyone to help him, but no matter what, in reality, he had to kill him down the mountain first. Immediately, the two of them began to change their clothes and battle robes.

Below the mountain, zhang chao and sun chien suddenly appeared from behind, is indeed frightened Li Qiao jump. Fortunately, he was prepared and commanded the cavalry to open a bloody path towards Chang’an.

“Let’s go. We don’t have to wait for Brother Meng De. He’s probably still observing the scenery on the mountain. Haha.” Zhang Chao looked at Li Qiao and saw that he had indeed escaped. He did not immediately order the Zhang Clan Qingqi to chase after him. An enemy who risked his life like this was the most dangerous. He was saying that leaving this person behind would be useful in his own grand scheme.

Sun chien after listening to zhang chao, also nodded in agreement, “good, then our two armies together to chase up.”

“Alright.” Listen to sun chien heroic words, zhang chao is also a smile and agreed.

So, the two armies in one place, even the more than two thousand west cool infantry did not tube, just like this with the consequences of Li Qiao cavalry chased up.

Waiting for’s troops rushed down the mountain, soldier will not know, will not know the soldier li kou subordinates have been messed up into a pot of porridge, very quickly was buried more than half.

About half an hour later, Cao Cao’s armor appeared on the battlefield. When he saw no reinforcements, he couldn’t help but be puzzled. He asked Xiahou Dun, who was preparing to report the results of the battle to him, “Yuan Rang, do you know who the reinforcements were?”

“Report to master, figure out, is sun chien and zhang chao.” ‘s cupped his fists.

“It’s the two of them?” Cao Cao was puzzled. The two of them didn’t have any friendship before, so why did they come together?

‘”They gave up the infantry at the beginning and chased after Li Qiao’s cavalry,” said Xiahou Dun when he saw that his master did not say anything.

“What!” This time, cao cao is really shocked, originally thought that lombardi changed the kindness, afraid that in the future he will fight alone, this to help himself. Unexpectedly, it was zhang chao and sun chien to aid him, of course, more unexpectedly, these two people actually chased after Li Qiao to changan. If they killed him to Chang’an and seized the Emperor Xian, wouldn’t he be working in vain?

Cao Cao’s face was filled with shock, and the counselor, Xu Zhi, who was standing beside him, also asked Xiahou Dun with shock, “Do you know how long they’ve been gone?”

“Half an hour. Listen to those captured west cool army said, Ma Chao or his five hundred light cavalry, Sun Jian ride mostly west cool warhorses, should be defeated guo first.” Xiahou Dun told him everything he knew.

“Damn it, they all have warhorses. What should we do?” Listen to even sun chien have a horse, isn’t that soon to changan? If that’s the case, what should we do?

After hearing this, Xi Zhi’s expression was also worried, but he still advised Cao Cao, “Even so, Lord, let’s hurry up and chase after him. Perhaps they will need some time to attack Chang’an City. This is our chance.”

“Not bad, there’s still a chance, there’s still a chance.” Cao Cao said in a daze, and then he said to Xiahou Dun, “Yuan Rang, order five hundred cavalry to follow me. Leave the matters here to the other generals to deal with.”
