The corner of Cao Cao's mouth twitched as he pointed at his surroundings and said,""Everyone says that Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang are resourceful, but now it seems that they are still incompetent.”
"Prime Minister, how did you find out?"
"Everyone, look at the terrain here. The mountains are stacked. If we ambush a regiment here, we will all be tied up.”
However, just as Cao Cao finished speaking, they suddenly heard the sound of a cannon. A rolling stone fell from the mountain, shocking everyone's mounts. They hurriedly stopped it and heard a dignified voice from the entrance,"Prime Minister! I have been waiting for the Prime Minister for a long time under the orders of my brother and the military advisor!”
Hearing this familiar voice, the faces of the 300 Cao soldiers turned ashen.
Some of the military strategists were so frightened that their faces turned pale. There was panic and despair in their disheveled hair and dirty faces. Only Cheng Yu and the other two or three people performed well, but it was not difficult to see a trace of despair in their eyes.
Cao Cao looked at his old friend, who was like a god descending to the mortal world, blocking his path. His Green Dragon Saber kept flashing under the scorching sun, and his tall Red Hare Horse seemed even more invincible in front of everyone.
Compared to the destitute state of the Cao army, the difference was like heaven and earth.
He saw that the Cao Army was already exhausted, their men and horses were tired, and the soldiers following them were already in chaos. All of them did not look like the elite soldiers of the past. They were either disheveled or unkempt. Their armor was not neat, and they lacked weapons. As for the military flag, it had long been thrown away by Cao Cao in order to deceive others. Or they would let the soldiers below cut it and bandage the wound.
It could be said that they were a group of remnant soldiers. Moreover, they were exhausted soldiers who had experienced days and nights of running.
In contrast, the 500 machetemen behind Guan Yu were already waiting for their fatigue. They were sharpening their weapons. Guan Yu didn't even need to do anything himself. With a light order, the 500 machetemen behind him would immediately charge forward and slaughter the Cao army like slaughtering chickens and dogs!
The disparity in strength was obvious.
Cao Cao was in despair.
Could it be that I, Cao Mengde, am so ambitious and domineering to dominate the north? Who would have thought that I would die in this wilderness today?
Time and fate!
It was all his fault for being too arrogant and thinking that he was invincible, which led to today's defeat. A single mistake would cause eternal regret.
At this moment, Cao Cao recalled that on the night before the Battle of Red Cliff, Cao Zhi had rushed to deliver a letter to him. In the letter, he had warned him in detail not to fall for Pang Tong's scheme, not to link the warships together, and to be more careful when dealing with the people from Dongwu!
Back then, he had laughed and thought that his son was too cautious. However, he never expected that it would actually come true! In the end, he suffered a great defeat.
Cao Cao was filled with regret.
Looking at Guan Yu in front of him and the remaining 30 soldiers behind him, Cao Cao could not help but feel a sense of despair.
You don't listen to Zijian!
However, in this situation, it was useless to regret. Cao Cao's current mood was like Xiang Yu who was forced to the mouth of the Wu River. He basically had no hope of survival.
However, at this moment, Cheng Yu, who was beside Cao Cao, suggested,""Prime Minister! I've always heard that Guan Yu is someone who prides himself on being a noble and loyal person. He has always been arrogant and refused to bully the weak. I believe he wouldn't do such a thing. Most importantly, Guan Yu had always valued loyalty and was clear about gratitude and resentment. Moreover, the Prime Minister had previously done him a great favor. If the Prime Minister personally went to speak to him, Guan Yu might feel sympathetic. Perhaps it can help us escape this disaster."
When Cao Cao heard Cheng Yu's words, he thought about it for a while. Cao Cao was not a person who cared about his face. Now that he was in a life and death situation, he did not care.
"Fine." Cao Cao hesitated and decided to throw away his face and beg Guan Yu. Perhaps he could find a chance to survive.
Since things had come to this, this was the only way.
However, just as Cao Cao was about to try his last chance of survival, he suddenly heard a roar,""Father, don't panic. I'm here to help you!”
This sound was like a clap of thunder on flat ground, not much inferior to Zhang Fei's long bridge head. It shocked both sides.
Looking in the direction of the voice, a group of people had appeared in the distance. Moreover, their numbers were several times that of Guan Yu's. There were at least three thousand of them.
The person who shouted just now was in front of this army. He was wearing a lion helmet and silver armor, with gold and jade tied around his waist. He looked valiant and heroic. The spear in his hand was clearly made of fine steel, shining under the scorching sun.
From afar, he looked like a wise and mighty general.
"Zijian!" Hearing this familiar voice, Cao Cao turned his head in shock and saw Cao Zhi leading the army. He immediately called out in surprise!
He had never expected that his son would appear at his most desperate moment!
Seeing Cao Zhi rushing over and the 3,000 elite cavalry behind him, Cao Cao suddenly felt a sense of survival. His originally despairing eyes were once again filled with excitement.
My son is here!
He survived!
There was hope!
"Father, don't panic. I'm here." Cao Zhi's words seemed to possess immense power, causing the originally despairing eyes of everyone in the Cao army to glow with vitality once again.
Young Master Zhi has brought his troops here!
We are saved!
The group of strategists also heaved a sigh of relief. Cheng Yu and Jia Xu looked at Cao Zhi with a different meaning in their eyes.
The two of them looked at each other and nodded their heads. They were smart and astute and had already guessed that Cao Zhi was far behind. How could he appear here? He must have anticipated the enemy and had already started to rush here!
To be able to possess such foresight and wisdom, this child was definitely not someone to be trifled with!
In contrast to the Cao Army's jubilation, Guan Yu's group stood not far away.
"Godfather!" Seeing that the Cao army had sent reinforcements and that there were many of them, the difference in strength in this battle was suddenly reversed. However, Guan Yu did not show any expression and just quietly looked at the people who had arrived. Guan Ping couldn't help but remind his father,"Since the enemy reinforcements have arrived, it's hard to get the head of the Cao thief. Why don't we retreat for now and ask the military counselor to do something else?"
"Hmm?" Guan Yu coldly glanced at Guan Ping. The immense power was so great that Guan Ping didn't dare to finish his sentence. Guan Yu raised his head proudly, his phoenix eyes slightly dazed as he looked at Cao Zhi with bright eyes. His body emitted an incomparable arrogance."Ping 'er, how did I teach you? A general is not afraid in battle and does not panic in the face of danger.”
"Back then, when I killed Yan Liang and Wen Chou, I took the head of the enemy general alone in the army. Now, I'm like a child, what's there to be afraid of?”
