The First Military Division of the Three Kingdoms

Everyone is silent, Jingyang has fallen, which means that the road between Bingzhou and Xiliang is completely blocked. It is impossible for Liu Bei to send a large army to reinforce Xiliang. Xiliang will face the joint attack of Cao Cao and Qiu Liju alone.

"I think General Quyi must have followed the prime minister's order to abandon Jingyang, preserve his strength, and go to Xiliang to join General Zhao Yun."

Losing Jingyang is a serious crime, not to mention that at this critical moment, if Qu Yi persisted for another day or two, Cao Cao might withdraw his troops when he learned that the granary on Shouyang Mountain had been destroyed.

It's a pity that Qu Yi failed to stick to it. Zhang Liao, who had a good impression of Qu Yi, had no choice but to open up for him.

"Abandoning Jingyang is the best strategy. General Qu Yi was able to hold Cao Cao for dozens of days, and he deserves nothing."

Chen Ziming had no intention of questioning Qu Yi at all. After all, Jingyang City was besieged by Cao Cao and Qiu Liju's hundreds of thousands of troops. Even if it was him, he would not be able to defend it, and it was his order to abandon Jingyang.

Besides, how could Chen Ziming be willing to cut down a strong general like Qu Yi if it wasn't for the crime of treason, but he was the number one strong general in the Three Kingdoms period, a real talent.

"Jingyang has been lost. Going to the north is useless now." Chen Ziming began to think about what to do next. After all, the soldiers and horses around him were exhausted and their combat effectiveness had dropped drastically. From now on, if they were not careful, the entire army would be wiped out.

"Cao Hong is a wise and courageous general, and he has top strategists around him. Now that he has mobilized tens of thousands of troops to besiege us, he will definitely not let me go north." Chen Ziming can be sure that there are already Cao Jun and others in the seemingly weak north. Look at him, once his soldiers and horses are blocked, Cao Hong will lead the army to attack from behind, at that time, it is really impossible to escape.

"Ziming, I'll bring someone to fight a way for you!" Zhang Fei challenged with a murderous spirit. He thought he was the second most powerful general in the world, and Zhang Fei, who thought he was only inferior to his second brother Guan Yu in terms of force, was born with a natural look. The courage to be fearless.

"The last general is willing to kill the queen for the prime minister!" Zhang Liao, who is both wise and brave, knew that the situation was critical now. If Cao Hong caught up with them, they would be surrounded to death, so he immediately took on the most dangerous task of killing the queen.

"Prime Minister, last general..."

Ma Chao and others asked for a fight, but they were suppressed by Chen Ziming's raised hand.

"Going north is too dangerous and meaningless." Chen Ziming's eyes flashed brightly, he looked at the map and said, "If Jingyang is not lost, we can go to Jingyang. But now that Jingyang is lost, Cao Cao's army will definitely go to Xiliang , and there are more than [-] Xianbei cavalry from Qiu Liju, and our soldiers and horses follow, it is very dangerous and not advisable."

Moreover, Chen Ziming was sure that if Cao Cao knew that he was behind him, he would definitely send troops to attack them, and most likely let the Xianbei cavalry come to surround and kill them.After all, Chen Ziming made trouble for Cao Cao a lot.

Chen Ziming didn't think that the soldiers and horses around him could compete with more than 1 Xianbei cavalry on the plain. They were going to die, and the more than [-] exhausted soldiers around him were not enough for the Xianbei army to squeeze their teeth.

"From the map, the only way out for us is to go north and break through Feng Ling before we can escape, so Cao Hong will send troops to stop us in front, and the rest of the troops will also come to the north. Going north now, there are many dangers."

The current situation reminded Chen Ziming of the decisive battle in later generations, where the great man commanded crossing the Chishui River.

"Command the army, transfer the rear team to the front team, fight back from the same path, the target is Luoyang!!!"

Although the soldiers and horses brought by Chen Ziming suffered heavy losses and their combat effectiveness was greatly reduced, there was no need for him to face the enemy head-on. Anyway, they were all cavalry, so no one was afraid of running away. Cao Hong's two legs could outrun four.

"Third brother, please open the way ahead. If you encounter enemy troops, just disperse them and don't pursue them..."

Let Zhang Fei lead the way, there are really few people on Cao Hong's side who can stop him, and Zhang Fei doesn't think too much like Zhang Liao. No matter how many enemies there are, he will definitely rush to them. This is what Chen Ziming needs, because Once he turned around, he had no way of turning back. Even if he encountered Cao Hong's main force, he could only fight a bloody path from the front.

448章 东奔西跑

Zhou Bing, Cao Hong's confidant, is one of Cao Hong's younger brothers-in-law. Although his military strength and resourcefulness are far inferior to Cao Hong's, he is loyal and understands the ways of the world, so he is deeply loved by Cao Hong. The soldiers and horses went to Shouyang Mountain to gather the scattered soldiers of Shouyang Mountain, and at the same time re-established the Shouyang Mountain camp. In the future, Cao Cao would probably hoard food and grass in Shouyang Mountain during his northern expedition.

Cao Hong already had absolute certainty that Chen Ziming would go all the way north. After all, with the current situation, Chen Ziming would only have a chance to break out of the siege alive if he went north. It was absolutely impossible to stay at Shouyang Mountain, let alone go south.

Staying at Shouyang Mountain is courting death. As for going south, it is Cao Cao's base camp, and Hangu Pass has been occupied by Cao Hong's troops. Chen Ziming re-entered Sili Prefecture and died faster than staying at Shouyang Mountain.

Therefore, going to Shouyang Mountain and rebuilding the Shouyang Mountain camp can be said to be without threat, and can achieve great merit. Zhou Bingxin entered Shouyang Mountain with [-] soldiers and horses, and advanced slowly without rushing, even the necessary service. Not sent out.

From Zhou Bing's point of view, Chen Ziming fled with the group of remnant soldiers a long time ago, so he could wait to die in Shouyang Mountain. Now Shouyang Mountain is already his territory.

"General, there is the sound of horseshoes ahead, it seems that soldiers and horses are approaching!"

The guard with sharp ears faintly heard the sound of horseshoes coming from ahead, and hurriedly reported to Zhou Bing who was swaggering forward on the horse.

"Ok?"

Zhou Bing frowned after hearing this and listened carefully. Sure enough, he heard the sound of horseshoes. However, he did not order the army to deploy, but looked at the front of the road suspiciously. His innocent appearance made the guards feel anxious.

"It should be a group of stragglers, you guys go and bring those deserters back." Along the way, Zhou Bing gathered a lot of stragglers, all of whom escaped from the Shouyang Mountain Camp. It is a larger straggler, and he can show off his power again.

"General, no, it seems to be the sound of cavalry charging."

Fighting all the year round, fighting everywhere, these personal guards are not new to the world, and immediately felt something was wrong, so they hurriedly reminded Zhou Bing.

"Where did the enemy come from here?" Zhou Bing was still puzzled. He didn't even order troops to deploy, but stared at the bend in front of the road, as if waiting for a miracle to happen.

"open??"

Zhou Bing was stunned when he saw a large Zhangzi flag appearing at the bend. He was still thinking about who the generals surnamed Zhang beside Cao Hong were, and who would appear here?

"Zhang... Zhang... Zhang Fei!!!"

After finally seeing clearly the big man rushing ahead, Zhou Bing was so frightened that he almost fell off his horse.

"drink!"

"Take your life!"

Zhang Fei roared and charged towards Zhou Bing.

"General!"

The guards around Zhou Bing reminded Zhou Bing tremblingly.

"Quick...quick...quick retreat..."

Regardless of how many soldiers and horses there were behind Zhang Fei, Zhou Bing gave an order, and Cao Jun, who was already in chaos, lost his formation in an instant.

"Get out of the way for General Ben!"

Zhou Bing yelled in horror, because he rode ahead at the beginning, but now he was running away. He was blocked at the end. Seeing that the fierce Zhang Fei was about to kill him, Zhou Bing yelled with courage.

"Die!"

It's a pity that Zhou Bing's behavior deeply attracted Zhang Fei's attention. It was Zhang Fei's constant pursuit to cut off the general's head from Wan Jun. Of course, it was impossible to let this opportunity pass.

Zhang Fei violently kicked off the horse's belly, sprinted, and came behind Zhou Bing. With a wave of the Zhangba Snake Spear in his hand, he easily chopped off the head of the main general Zhou Bing, and a killing ensued.

The [-] soldiers of Cao were shot right through by Zhang Fei without any resistance, resulting in countless casualties. Some veterans fled cleverly to the woods on both sides and survived.

When Cao Hong learned of the battle, he sent someone to kill Zhou Bing's whole family, even his favorite concubine. It was already a great deal of face for that concubine not to kill Zhou Bing's nine clans.

After Cao Cao learned about it, he didn't do anything to kill people, but removed many incompetent generals, and many of the general's cronies were arranged by Cao Cao to retire to some dispensable places for the elderly.

"Damn!"

When Cao Hong learned that Chen Ziming was going to Luoyang again, he was furious, and hurriedly mobilized an army to chase Chen Ziming. Unfortunately, Chen Ziming brought all cavalry, and most of Cao Hong's soldiers were infantry. In order to stop Chen Ziming, they all rushed to the capital. To the north of Yangshan Mountain, it is too late to turn around and catch up now.

"Luoyang City has a high wall, and there are [-] elite guards. Chen Ziming's attack on Luoyang is false, but it is true to capture Hangu Pass!"

Different from Cao Hong's fury, Mao Jie, the military advisor, immediately denied that Chen Ziming was attacking Luoyang, because with Chen Ziming's current strength, it was impossible to threaten the strong city of Luoyang.

"Chen Ziming has many tricks, so we must guard against them."
