"Ding! The host has scared off the enemy. The reward is 10 lottery draws!”
After Cao Zhen withdrew his troops, the system notification sounded in Liu Feng's mind!
"Host, do you wish to draw 10 times?”
The system's voice sounded again.
"Lottery."
Liu Feng wanted to see if he was right or wrong.
"Thank you for your patronage!"
"Thank you for your patronage!"
“……”
"Congratulations to the host for obtaining 10 enhancement points!”
Liu Feng cursed at the system for being unkind. It gave him 10 enhancement points after 10 draws.
Liu Feng felt that he was definitely a lucky star. It must be the system's secret operation.
Host: Liu Feng
[Strength:90]
[Intelligence:60]
[Stamina:50]
[Item: Lu Bu's Courage Experience Card, 15 Enhancement Points!]
……
Cao Zhen ordered the army to retreat first while he brought five thousand men to cover the rear in case Guan Yu chased after them.
After retreating for 30 miles, they arrived at an empty area.
He still didn't see any Shu army chasing after him, and he couldn't help but feel even more puzzled.
Just as he was puzzled, he saw a horse flying towards Wancheng. The apricot yellow flag was the symbol of a scout.
The man rushed to the front of the formation, dismounted and said,"
"General, General Xu Huang has sent an order. South County has been occupied by Wu.
Guan Yu retreated in defeat, Shangyong was alone and helpless, he immediately brought his troops to retrieve it!”
"Ah?"
Cao Zhen was shocked. So Xu Huang and the others had won, then what was the explanation for Shangyong's scene?
He suddenly realized something and pounded his chest on the horse's back.
"Aiya, I've been tricked!"
The deputy general also suddenly came to a realization.
"It seems that Guan Yu escaped from Jing State to Shangyong.”
Cao Zhen's expression was extremely ugly at this moment. He let out a long sigh and roared,
"Send the order to the three armies to immediately send troops to Shangyong.”
When they sent out their troops, Cao Cao had instructed him to surround the three of them.
He still didn't know what he meant by letting the Shu army in the city go.
However, it was no longer important now. The Shu army must have withdrawn by now.
When he saw Guan Yu in the city, he had already sent out scouts to report to Cao Cao.
He didn't expect that he had fallen into a trap. He was extremely ashamed and furious. He immediately ordered the bodyguards beside him,
"Quickly go and report to the King of Wei that all of Shangyong's troops have escaped.
I…I fell into Guan Yu's trap.
If you can catch up to the scouts in front, you can report the military situation yourself.”
The bugle horn sounded again. This time, Cao Zhen personally led the cavalry to attack Shangyong first.
The city gates of Shangyong City were still wide open, but no one could be seen on the city walls.
He couldn't help but sigh and order the deputy general to lead the troops into the city to set up defenses.
Guo Huai asked,
"General, you were afraid of being ambushed and retreated. You were really cautious and did nothing wrong.
Guan Yu could only blame himself for being too bold. Now that Shangyong was in his hands, the difference was only half a day, so why sigh?”
Cao Zhen shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"If we had killed our way into the city, we would have captured Guan Yu in one fell swoop and sent our troops to Hanzhong.
Now, there was only an empty city for the Shu army to retreat safely.
If this matter gets out, I, Cao Zidan, will become a laughing stock.
Just as he was speaking, he suddenly saw thick smoke billowing in the west of the city. He was so angry that he stomped his feet.
"Damn Guan Yu, he must have burned the rations in the city.
General Guo, quickly send someone into the city to check.”
After Guo Huai left, Cao Zhen instructed Sun Li,"
"General Sun, take two thousand soldiers to chase after the Shu army. Remember, do not advance rashly.
If they didn't catch up by nightfall, they would retreat!”
Sun Li agreed and immediately gathered his men to chase after Guan Yu and the others, arriving at the place where the rations were burned.
Seeing that the fire was fierce, it was at the entrance of the valley.
Unable to pass through at all, they could only order people to put out the fire while resting on the spot!
By the time the fire subsided and they could pass through, it was already afternoon. The road in the valley was not conducive for cavalry to travel. Although they hurried, it was still much slower.
Seeing that the sun was about to set and there was still no sign of the Shu army, Sun Li could not help but feel even more anxious.
They did not have any credit for attacking Shangyong, now that they had finally come out to chase after him, they still did not get anything.
How could he accept this? He immediately ordered,
"Everyone, hurry up and give chase. The Shu army has many infantry and should be catching up soon.”
The vice-general beside him said,
"General, from Wan City to here, we haven't rested.
Now that the soldiers were tired, they tried their best to chase.
If the Shu army has an ambush, I'm afraid it will be very disadvantageous to our army!”
Sun Li said angrily,"
"The Shu army retreated in a panic, afraid that my army would pursue.
They couldn't even escape in time, so why would they send people to ambush them?
Let's chase again before it gets dark!”
The deputy general was helpless and could only urge the soldiers to continue chasing!
Liu Feng and Guan Yu's group were light and simple, and they quickly caught up to Meng Da's army.
Hua Tuo and his child were also among them.
Hua Tuo didn't care at all. He was determined to save people, so it was the same no matter where he went.
After burning the rations on the narrow road into Hanzhong, everyone set off again, even though Shangyong City was lost.
However, after saving Guan Yu, the soldiers did not look depressed.
Guan Yu seemed to have calmed down a lot and was no longer frowning.
The mountain road from Shangyong to Hanzhong was rugged and difficult to traverse. The narrow area could only accommodate a carriage.
The afternoon sun shone down from the canyon, casting a long shadow.
Liu Feng still felt uneasy when he thought about what had happened over the past few days.
The Cao army knew that Shangyong had just been taken down and did not have many soldiers, so why did they send 50,000 elite soldiers?
When he thought of Cao Cao and Sima Yi, he felt even more uneasy. These people would never make such a big mistake when using troops.
After pondering for a moment, he approached Guan Yu and said,"
"Second Uncle, Cao Cao is full of tricks and schemes.
Now that Sima Yi was the military advisor, he had many plans to attack a small city in Shangyong.
They actually sent out 50,000 troops. It was too strange. There was probably a trap!”
