Since ancient times, people's hearts have been unpredictable.

Guo Jia regretted it a little, but he seemed to have lost some speculations from people.

After hearing this, Cao Cao felt a little inappropriate. However, all the troops he had drawn out had been sent out, and he didn't know where to draw them for a while.

"I heard that Liu Xuande has captured Xiao County?"

“That’s right.”

"Lord, since Liu Xuande is here, why not let him take action?"

"You mean..."

Guo Jia pondered for a moment and said, "Liu Xuande and Chuang'er are always dirty. If Liu Bei sends troops to encircle Liu Chuang, he will probably not refuse."

After hearing this, Cao Cao couldn't help but agree.

Moreover, he seems to have no other choice now. In the entire Pengcheng, there seems to be only Liu Bei's troops who can be drawn.

"What Fengxiao said is very true. Since this is the case, I immediately ordered Liu Bei to send troops to assist Mancheng in encirclement and suppress Liu Chuang."

Since when, Liu Chuang has occupied a very important position in Cao Cao's mind.

Even if he tried to let Lu Bu go this time, he didn't want to let Liu Chuang go. It was because Liu Chuang rose too quickly... Like Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, no one had been accumulated over the years. Even Sun Ce, who was "the Lion should not compete with him", was not as fast as Liu Chuang's rise.

Liu Chuang's appearance was not called at all.

It seemed that he rose in Qingzhou all at once, and there was no chance to react at all.

This kid is very good at taking advantage of the situation and knows how to win over allies. From Lu Bu to Yuan Shao to Sun Ce, and even Liu Biao in Jingzhou, he had contacted him unknowingly. This speed of development has already made Cao Cao feel panic. If Liu Chuang is not killed, he will sooner or later become a confidant.

Guo Jia finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Cao Cao sending Liu Bei.

He smiled slightly, and his whole body seemed to be much more relaxed. After saying goodbye to Cao Cao, he strolled in Cao's camp and said to himself: "Liu Chuang, let's see how you should pass this time!"

Early in the morning, the sun rises.

The camp outside Tan County was in a mess, with burned corpses everywhere.

Liu Chuang stood on the city gate tower, raising his eyes to the distance.

The blue smoke rose from the camp, and the sky was vague...

However, Liu Chuang did not have any joy after victory. On the contrary, he felt a sense of indescribable heaviness in his heart!

I don’t know if Heng Ruo can get through?

"Young Master, General Xiahou sent someone to send a message."

Just as Liu Chuang's thoughts were flying beyond the sky, he suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves coming from the road.

A young general rushed over, and after he got up to the city tower, he rolled his saddle and fell off his horse. He knelt on one knee on the ground and panted, saying, "Young master, something big is not good."

"ah?"

Liu Chuang's heart suddenly stumbled, he quickly took a few steps, and shouted loudly, "Why are you panic?"

"General Xiahou sent a message and Jiqiu was attacked last night."

"How is the battle?"

"Reporting to the young master, Zang Ba ordered Sun Guan and Wu Dun to attack Jiqiu overnight. General Xu could not help but destroy all the baggage and break out of the encirclement.

General Xiahou arrived in time and repelled the pursuers.

Now, General Xiahou and General Xu have arrived thirty miles north of the city and are approaching Tan County."

"Brother Tiger!"

Liu Chuang shouted sternly without thinking: "Take people to pick up Ying Hengruo immediately."

Xu Chu quickly agreed and rushed down the city tower with his men.

Soon, a school Xiong Ju army rushed out of Tan County and headed towards the north of the city.

Liu Chuang did not dare to neglect and hurriedly walked down from the city.

He was about to get on the horse, but he saw Mi Zhu rushing over, "Meng Yan, just got the news of the scout, Zhu Ling led 8,000 soldiers and had arrived in Xiangben."

It came so fast!

Liu Chuang's face changed, but he did not show any panic.

"Wuyuan direction, can there be any movement?"

"Report to the young master, Li Mancheng has not taken any action yet."

It seems that Cao Cao's coordination between each other was not done well in this operation.

Fortunately, Mi Zhu is his own person, so Liu Chuang can learn about the situation in advance. Otherwise, if he really delayed in Tan County for two days and wanted to get out, it would be a little difficult.

"Brother, come immediately with Xiaogong."

"Here!"

Mi Zhu also knew at this time that things were already very urgent.

So he quickly took the order and looked at Mi Zhu's back, Liu Chuang couldn't help but sigh in his heart: Mi Zhu is indeed a talented person.

He has been in charge of the East China Sea for two years, and Donghai County has been in good weather, which has made him very famous.

Similarly, Mi Zhu has a strong ability to deal with it. If he hadn't been on the city gate tower yesterday, he reminded Liu Chuang, he would have been very upset. Moreover, after seizing Tan County, Mi Zhu quickly appeased the people in the city. Although Tan County looked very depressed, there was no chaos. This also gave Liu Chuang enough time to make the next arrangements and plans.

Che Zhou was captured and Cao's army was wiped out.

There are still three thousand soldiers in Tan County, all of whom are under Liu Chuang's command.

This also gave Liu Chuanghuan room to turn around. God knows what the situation is in Jiqiu?

After a while, Gao rushed over.

Liu Chuang pulled Gao Shun over, "Xiao Gong, I don't need to say more about the situation we are facing now.

What I want to tell you is that Zang Ba has rebelled!"

"Xuan Gao deserves to die!"

Gao Shun was furious and couldn't help but curse.

Last night, after he entered Tan County, Liu Chuang explained to him that Zang Ba might have surrendered to Cao Cao. But Gao Shun didn't believe it at that time, and he still swears that Zang Ba would never surrender. But in the blink of an eye, the fact slapped him a boss in the face.

Zang Ba, it really turned against...

"Xiao Gong, we have no time to blame Zang Ba.

It is no longer important when Zang Ba surrendered and why he surrendered. What is important is that when he rebelled, our way back was cut off.

Previously, Zang Ba said that Lu Qian was in Linyi.

I guess this is a lie. At this time, Lu Qian probably had arrived in Gai County. He would definitely delay Ziyi and the others, making it difficult for Beihai to send troops to rescue him. In other words, we are now an isolated army and the retreat has been cut off. The only way out is to quickly go to Xia Pi and meet with Jun Hou. However, Cao Cao had sent Li Dian to come. If we want to retreat to Xia Pi, we must defeat Li Dian.

I will now give you all the Xiong Jujun to command.

Three thousand five hundred bears, all of them are under your control... I want you to send troops immediately, be sure to defeat Li Dian, and ensure that the road to Xia Pi is unobstructed."

Gao Shun's face that seemed to be expressionless had a slightly twitching cheek.

"Don't worry, Uncle Huang, Shunding let Li Dian come and go."

The Xiong Jujun never asks how many enemies there are, but only asks where the enemy is!

This is also the rule that Liu Chuang created when he formed the Xiong Ju Army. He introduced the combat philosophy of the Spartans into the Xiong Ju Army. After a year and a half of training, this philosophy has been integrated into Gao Shun's bones. In fact, this philosophy is also very suitable for Gao Shun. He himself is a taciturn person. For him, no matter how many enemies he has, he can only fight to the death...

Therefore, after Liu Chuang ordered him, Gao Shun did not ask Li Dian how many soldiers there were.

There is no need to ask, because he knows that the final victory must belong to Xiong Jujun.

Liu Chuang nodded and asked Gao Shun to prepare.

He hurried out of the city gate, and soon he saw a group of soldiers coming from a distance.

There were still traces of burning fire left on Xu Sheng's face... He saw Liu Chuang from afar, so he turned over and got off the horse, and knelt on the ground.

"Young Master, Sheng You was entrusted by the young master, and was attacked by Zang Ba and his baggage was destroyed.

Mr. Huang, Mr. Huang…”

Liu Chuang shivered, pulled Xu Sheng up and said sternly: "How is Gongmei's situation?"

"Mr. Huang was injured by a runaway arrow when he broke through the siege and was extremely injured."

"Mr. Wu, where is Mr. Wu? Please come quickly."

Before Xu Sheng could finish speaking, Liu Chuang pushed him away, shouted loudly, and quickly came to the army.

Two soldiers carried Huang Shao on a simple stretcher... Huang Shao was lying on the stretcher, with sharp arrows still inserted into his chest, and his whole body was stained with blood.

"Public beauty, public beauty?"

Liu Chuang came to the stretcher and called out repeatedly.

Huang Shao opened his eyes and a bright light flashed in his eyes, "Young Master, Zang Ba is back!"

"I know, I know."

Liu Chuang felt a pain in his heart, as if he was slashed by a knife.

Huang Shao had long seen something was wrong with Zang Ba, but Liu Chuang, who was proud at the time, was a little arrogant and did not listen at all.

In other words, he has always looked down on Huang Shao.

I remember that among the many people who followed Liu Chuang to uprising, the one Liu Chuang despised the most was Huang Shao.

In Gaomi and even in Beihai, Huang Shao's presence was the weakest. If Bu Zhi had not traveled to the northern border this time, Liu Chuang might not have used Huang Shao. In fact, Huang Shao had been unknown under Liu Chuang's tent, but he had never complained.

A smile squeezed out from Huang Shao's face and said softly: "I guessed it right this time!"

This sentence made Liu Chuang's tears flow out.

In terms of talent, Huang Shao's ability is indeed not very strong, but he has always hoped to gain Liu Chuang's attention and recognition. This time, he exchanged his life for Liu Chuang's attention, but... Liu Chuang grabbed Huang Shao's hand, but didn't know what to say.
To be continued...
