"Clang!"
Mingjin's voice rang out.
"Retreat!"
Following Cao Cao's order, Xiahou Dun, Cao Hong, and the other generals 'eyes turned red as they shouted,"
"Retreat!"
"Retreat!"
"Retreat!"
Whoosh!
When Cao Cao's remaining 100,000 soldiers heard the call to retreat, they felt as if they had been pardoned. Without any hesitation, they threw away their armor and fled as if they were escaping from a nightmare.
Just like a receding tide, the black crowd retreated. It was chaos, and countless people were trampled to death and injured…
Liu Bei, Zhang Fei, and his pitiful 5,000 soldiers were mixed in with Cao Cao's army. To be exact, he only had 3,000 soldiers.
"Brother, what should we do?"
Zhang Fei took a deep look at Liu Ji on the city wall, then looked at Liu Bei and asked.
Liu Bei frowned. After a long time, he slowly said,"
"Let's go!"
Cao Cao stared blankly at the scene of his army being defeated.
It was as if he had been immobilized. He did not move at all, and his eyes were lifeless!
He had never thought that he would lose.
And he was defeated so miserably!
Just like what Liu Ji had said at the beginning, he was crushed like an ant!
It turned out that everything was under Liu Ji's control!
Cao Cao's lips curled into a bitter smile.
Liu Ji, this traitor, had hidden himself well enough. Back then, he had only quietly developed in River East and seemed to have no achievements.
In fact, he was biding his time, waiting for the opportunity to appear when Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor.
This thought was deep enough…
Otherwise, how could a seemingly ordinary creature turn into a dragon in a single day?
Such scheming, such forbearance, such strategy!
Cao Cao, who had a lot of ideas in his mind, couldn't help but admire Liu Ji. He even felt inferior.
He had never thought that Liu Ji could become a great duke, thinking that he would only stay in River East. However, he was completely wrong. Liu Ji's ability was completely above the other dukes...
Cao Cao believed that heroes were ambitious, resourceful, and had the ability to contain the universe and swallow heaven and earth.
In his subconscious, he and Liu Bei were the only heroes in the world.
But now, Liu Bei's second brother was crippled and was furious and incompetent, while he himself was defeated in Chen County. They had both lost to the same person.
That was Liu Ji!
"This child cannot be left alive!"
The suspicious Cao Cao thought for a while and slowly spat out a few words.
At this moment, a black arrow shot towards Cao Cao like a poisonous snake.
"Protect the lord!"
As the leader of Cao Cao's guards, Xu Chu roared. The guard closest to Cao Cao reacted quickly and blocked with his saber.
"Clang!"
"Swoosh!"
A black arrow left behind an afterimage. After being blocked by Cao Cao's guard's saber, it continued to charge forward.
The guard was also sent flying by the powerful impact.
The arrow pierced straight into Cao Cao's head.
"My lord!"
"My lord!"
Cheng Yu, Xun Yu, and the others cried out in shock.
Cao Cao's face was pale as he stared at the arrow that was coming at him. His eyes were filled with fear and unwillingness, but he could not react in time.
"Bang!"
The black arrow pierced through and Cao Cao fell to the ground!
"My lord!"
"My lord!"
"My lord…"
Countless people's eyes widened as they charged at Cao Cao.
Xu Chu was the first to pounce in front of Cao Cao. He knelt on the ground and picked Cao Cao up. Two streams of tears flowed down his face as he shouted with a trembling voice,
"My lord! You…"
Cao Cao, who was in his arms, had disheveled hair. He no longer looked like a living person.
Instead, it was like a body that had its soul taken away. Its eyes were unfocused as it stared blankly at the sky...
When Xu Chu saw this, he cried tears of joy!
" My lord, so you didn't…you didn't…haha…"
Cheng Yu and the others who had rushed over also heaved a long sigh of relief.
It was a false alarm!
It turned out that the arrow did not hit Cao Cao. Instead, it pierced through the bun on Cao Cao's head and cut off half of his hair.
However, Cao Cao seemed to have collapsed. He lay in Xu Chu's arms, his eyes still flickering with fear…
At this moment, the guards were already heavily surrounding Cao Cao, afraid that there would be more arrows fired…
" Cao Cao, it seems that you are quite tough. Today, I will give you a warning. In the future, we will mind our own business. If you provoke me…"
"It's not your hair that's cut off, but your head!”
Liu Ji's cold voice came from the top of Chen County's city wall, causing Xu Chu to glare at him with anger burning in his eyes.
"It's tolerable, but what can't be tolerated!"
Xu Chu was a boorish man with unparalleled courage. In his early years, he gathered thousands of relatives and friends to fight against the bandits. Later, he submitted to Cao Cao and was conferred the title of Tiger Marquis. He was in charge of Cao Cao's protection work.
He was loyal to Cao Cao!
He was already feeling sullen after today's defeat. Now that Cao Cao, who was in charge of guarding the city, had almost been killed, he had nowhere to vent his anger.
"General Hu Hou, don't be rash!"
Xun Yu grabbed Xu Chu, who was about to rush out. Xu Chu had no choice but to punch the ground hard, causing his fist to bleed…
After a long time, Cao Cao slowly closed his eyes and sighed.
"Let's go…"
……
At the same time, in Shouchun City.
At this moment, a commotion came from outside the palace.
The guards in front of the palace gate stopped a group of horses, and the people of the horse team had an argument with the guards.
At this moment, a beautiful woman dressed in a phoenix coronet and a ceremonial robe slowly walked down from a carriage tied with a festive red cloth…
Dear readers, Happy New Year! I wish everyone a happy new year!!
