It was night.
The Zhang Mansion in Wancheng was decorated with lanterns and colorful streamers, and the guests enjoyed themselves.
Cao Cao sat in the main seat, while Zhang Xiu sat in the second seat to accompany him.
The ministers exchanged toasts. Not long after, Cao Cao's face was flushed red and his stomach was hot. Madam Zou's appearance kept appearing in his mind.
"Hehe, I've had enough wine. I'll go down and rest first.”
"General Zhang, please enjoy yourself."
As Cao Cao spoke, he stood up and left under the escort of his guards.
Zhang Xiu looked at Cao Cao's back as he left. He clenched his fists and his eyes were filled with killing intent.
He finished the wine in his bowl, got up, and hurried to the backyard.
He pushed the door open and entered.
There was no light in the room. A middle-aged scholar in a Confucian robe sat in the dark and dozed off.
It was Zhang Xiu's most trusted advisor, Poison Warrior Jia Xu.
"Sir, Cao Cao humiliated my aunt and bullied me.”
"He even secretly contacted Hu Che 'er to kill me. I'll rebel against him tonight.”
"What do you think, sir?"
The middle-aged scholar opened his eyes and looked up at Zhang Xiu."Didn't General make up his mind long ago? Why ask me again?"
When Zhang Xiu heard this, his expression became uncertain.
Because he hesitated.
After all, Cao Cao was a formidable person. From the bottom of his heart, Zhang Xiu did not want to rebel.
"General, a long night will bring more trouble."
"Rather than being on tenterhooks, it's better to fight with all our might.”Jia Xu said indifferently.
"Thank you, sir." Zhang Xiu's heart calmed down. He bowed to Jia Xu, turned around, and walked out.
Wan City.
When Cao Cao's army was drunk, Zhang Xiu led his troops to attack the Cao army. He also personally led two thousand personal guards to Madam Zou's residence, determined to kill Cao Cao.
At this moment.
Cao Cao was in Madam Zou's residence, admiring Madam Zhou's zither skills. When he suddenly heard this news, his mind instantly went blank.
Cao Cao finally regained his senses. His face was dark as he looked at Madam Zou for a moment before turning around and walking out of the residence.
Dong dong dong.
The sound of the cavalry charging was deafening. Cao Cao had no choice but to turn around and leave through the back door.
Halfway there, they were caught up by Zhang Xiu.
"Zhang Xiu, I have treated you well. Why did you betray me?”
Cao Cao was still relatively calm. He narrowed his eyes at Zhang Xiu and questioned him coldly.
"Cao Cao, you humiliated my sister-in-law, bribed my subordinates, and even plotted to kill me. Since you are heartless, don't blame me for being unjust.”
Zhang Xiu held his spear and looked coldly at Cao Cao." Today is the day you die."”
"Kill them."
With Zhang Xiu's order, the two thousand cavalrymen under his command charged forward.
Cao Cao's expression changed.
Fortunately, at the crucial moment, Dian Wei had brought hundreds of Cao Cao elites to block Zhang Xiu's army.
"Lord, I am late." Dian Wei said in a muffled voice.
"Let's go." Cao Cao glanced at Zhang Xiu and turned around to run away, not caring that the elite soldiers around him were falling under Zhang Xiu's attack.
When they arrived at a camp, Cao Cao brought Dian Wei in.
Seeing that the place was in a mess, the ground was covered in blood, and there were countless corpses of Cao Cao's army lying on the ground, Cao Cao's eyelids twitched and he said angrily,"It seems that Zhang Xiu has long planned this.”
"It's a pity that I didn't notice it and caused our army to suffer a great defeat.”
"How hateful."
Dian Wei picked up two large knives from the ground and held them in his hands. He used them, but felt that they were not suitable for him, so he reluctantly used them.
He looked at Cao Cao and said,"My lord, Wan City is in chaos now. The only way to survive is to leave the city."”
"Yes."
Cao Cao nodded.
His army was basically outside the city. As long as they left the city and reorganized their troops, they could stop Zhang Xiu.
Just as the two of them were about to leave, they saw a few hundred infantry charging over. Although Zhang Xiu was not there, they were Western Liang soldiers. Cao Cao's face turned ashen.
Now, only he and Dian Wei were left. No matter how strong Dian Wei was, he couldn't stop these hundreds of soldiers.
"My lord, follow me."
Dian Wei's face was cold as he grabbed Cao Cao's arm and walked towards the wooden fence.
The saber in his hand slashed fiercely.
After destroying an entrance that could allow one person to pass through, Dian Wei stopped.
"My lord, please leave. I will buy you some time.”
"Dian Wei." Cao Cao turned his head and frowned at Dian Wei, shaking his head.
"Lord, please leave." Dian Wei didn't say anything, he just stood in front of Cao Cao with a straight face.
"Come back to me alive." Cao Cao patted Dian Wei's arm, turned around, and left.
Although he knew that Dian Wei might not return.
But he was not a hesitant person.
At the very least, he couldn't let down Dian Wei's loyalty.
Cao Cao left.
Dian Wei heaved a sigh of relief. He held his dual sabers and waited for the Western Liang soldiers to arrive.
In the distance.
Su Ran was leading 500 iron cavalry to rescue people in the city.
The Cao army in the city had long been defeated, and only his 500 men remained. Their soldiers were neat and orderly, and they had not scattered.
Beside Su Ran, a young master suddenly pointed forward.
"It seems to be General Dian Wei up ahead. Su Du Bo, quickly go save him.”
the young master said anxiously.
Because he was too anxious, the wound on his chest burst open and a large amount of blood flowed out.
"Young Master An Min, please calm down. I will go and save them now.”
Su Ran left twenty cavalrymen behind to protect Cao Anmin, then led the troops and rushed over.
Four hundred cavalry charged forward, their momentum shaking the heavens.
Even the Western Liang soldiers were helpless against the cavalry's charge. They could only suffer under their blades.
Half an incense's time later.
Su Ran put away the blood-stained spear, jumped off the horse, and walked toward Dian Wei, who was half-kneeling on the ground.
"General Dian, are you alright?" Su Ran looked at the calf-like Dian Wei and the dozens of Western Liang soldiers 'corpses beside him. Shock and admiration appeared in her eyes.
Dian Weizhen was an unparalleled general!
" I'm fine. Hurry up and save the lord." Dian Wei raised his head and shouted anxiously.
"I will go now, but General is injured, so you should follow us out of the city.”After Su Ran finished speaking, she got someone to lead Dian Wei's horse.
These were the Western Liang warhorses that they had snatched from the city.
Otherwise, ordinary warhorses might not be able to carry a big guy like Dian Wei.
"Leave the city."
Su Ran personally helped Dian Wei onto the horse and returned to the warhorse. She raised the spear in her hand and rushed towards the city gate.
There was chaos everywhere in the city, even at the city gate.
However, after a long period of fighting, there were only a few soldiers left at the city gate.
Su Ran led her men out of Wan City and stopped at the city gate, thinking about which direction Cao Cao would run in.
He didn't think for too long.
Because he saw a group of about 600 to 700 Western Liang cavalrymen chasing after the western suburbs.
If there were no accidents, these people were chasing Cao Cao.
"Young Master An Min, General Dian, please return to the camp quickly and contact General Xiahou Dun and General Yu Jin to lead troops to save Sikong.”Su Ran looked at the two people beside her and said," It's urgent. I'll go save Sikong first, so I can't escort the two of you.”
After saying that.
Su Ran did not give Cao Anmin and Dian Wei any time to react. She led her troops and charged forward.
However, he deliberately led his troops to take a detour before heading in Cao Cao's direction.
At this moment.
Three miles west of Wancheng.
The two horses were running for their lives. Behind them were hundreds of Western Liang cavalry, who were chasing after them.
Thud!
All of a sudden, the horse one of them was riding on gave way, and the person on the horse fell off. He rolled a few times in the grass before stopping.
"Father."
On the other horse, Cao Ang's expression changed drastically. He hurriedly dismounted and went to find Cao Cao.
