"What? Xu Chu was defeated?" In the Yuan family's mansion, Cao Cao was stunned. He couldn't believe the news.
"Who? Who defeated Xu Chu? " Who was Xu Chu? He could be regarded as Cao Cao's most valiant general. Dian Wei used to be on par with Xu Chu. Now that Dian Wei was dead, Xu Chu was the only one left. Therefore, Xu Chu was Cao Cao's most trusted man.
Xu Chu didn't fight many battles, but Dian Wei, who was equally matched with him, had fought many battles. Dian Wei once fought Lü Bu to a draw after hundreds of rounds. Although Lü Bu was slacking at that time, Dian Wei's strength could still be seen. Xu Chu was on par with Dian Wei.
If one were to look deeper, a man like Ma Chao also stopped when he heard of Xu Chu's reputation. It could be seen how powerful Xu Chu was.
However, such a crazy man was defeated. Cao Cao couldn't believe it at all. He was stunned on the spot.
"Prime Minister, it's true!" The messenger said to Cao Cao with a long face. He wouldn't dare to lie even if he had ten times the courage. Xu Chu was their backbone. They didn't fear death as long as Xu Chu was there. But now that Xu Chu was defeated, it meant that they basically had no way to survive. What kind of monster was the man who defeated Xu Chu?
"When did the Liaodong Army have such a person?"
"Cough, cough, cough!" Blood flowed from the corner of Zhao Yun's mouth. The spear in his hand had been broken into two pieces. Zhao Yun threw it to the side and found a new spear. He clutched his chest and couldn't help but smile bitterly. This time, the injury was not easy. The position of the Inner Mansion was already dislocated.
Several bones in his body were broken. It was not worse than the previous battle by the Yangtze River.
And the one who caused all this was the strong man opposite him. Xu Chu, Xu Zhongkang.
Zhao Yun grabbed the spear and continued to walk towards the Yuan family. Traitor Cao hadn't been eliminated yet.
"Don't go!" Just as Zhao Yun was about to step down, a saber blocked his way.
Zhao Yun raised his head and looked over. Isn't that Xu Chu, Xu Zhongkang? Zhao Yun's Phoenix Spear was no joke. Anyone below the Spirit Refinement realm basically had no way to survive. Xu Chu and Xu Zhongkang were already Spirit Refinement generals, but they couldn't withstand much. Their bodies were covered in blood. Xu Chu and Xu Zhongkang were already Spirit Refinement generals, but they couldn't withstand much.
"Are you really not afraid of death?" Zhao Yun looked at Xu Chu and said. He was a hero cherishing another hero, so Zhao Yun did not give Xu Chu the final blow. If Xu Chu's wounds were treated, he could still live. If they were not treated, Zhao Yun would not even need to do anything and Xu Chu would die from excessive blood loss.
"Hehe, die? I'm scared! "Xu Chu said honestly as he grinned.
"Then get out of the way. You have done your duty!" Zhao Yun pointed his spear at Xu Chu and said. Returning with heavy injuries, it could be said that he had done his duty.
"I, Xu Zhongkang, am afraid of death, but I am more afraid of not having the face to face that person after I die!" Xu Chu thought of that black man. That ugly man must be laughing at him. If he got out of the way, he would be laughed at by him for the rest of his life.
"That person?" Zhao Yun was stunned. He did not understand what Xu Chu was talking about.
Xu Chu did not need Zhao Yun to understand. He promised that person that he would protect his lord Cao Cao. He, Xu Chu, could not be worse than that person. "Old Dian, you died in Fan City for my lord. I, Xu Chu, cannot be worse than you. I will die in this battle!" Xu Chu said as he struggled to stand up with the help of the saber in his hand.
"Those who block me shall die!" Zhao Yun was also angry. If you don't want face, then die for me.
"General! Enemy, enemy reinforcements are here! " Just as Zhao Yun was about to step forward and kill Xu Chu, a White Horse Follower shouted at Zhao Yun.
"Enemy?" Zhao Yun asked doubtfully.
"You came in first! You came in first!" One of the White Horse Follower shouted at Zhao Yun. The White Horse Follower had fought with the White Horse Follower before.
The White Horse Follower had entered the city? Zhao Yun was in a dilemma. If he continued to attack the Yuan Residence, he might be able to kill Cao Cao. However, if he did so, the White Horse Follower would be completely annihilated. Even the secret of the White Horse Follower would be known by Cao Cao's army. However, if he left, Zhao Yun was also unwilling. Should he retreat just like that?
Just as Zhao Yun was hesitating, the battle cries outside became louder. Zhao Yun looked outside. The White Horse Follower had arrived so quickly.
"I will not let you pass!" Xu Chu laughed, revealing his bloody teeth.
Zhao Yun clenched his teeth and waved his hand. He waved his arm, "Retreat!" Let's go! " Zhao Yun wanted to leave because he was not confident that Cao Cao had not escaped. If Cao Cao was still in the Yuan Residence, even if Zhao Yun's army was completely annihilated, he would still have profited. If he killed Cao Cao, the Cao Family Group would collapse. However, Zhao Yun was not confident. What if Cao Cao had escaped? Then if they stayed, only death would await them.
That's why Zhao Yun can't afford to study. In addition, that Xu Chu is a refinement realm cultivator. Every refinement realm cultivator isn't easy to deal with. If a cornered dog jumps over the wall, it wouldn't be good.
Only then did Zhao Yun choose to retreat.
Zhao Yun walked to Xu Chu's side. Xu Chu tightly grasped his blade and became nervous. He thought that Zhao Yun was going to deal with him before leaving.
However, Zhao Yun did not do so. It was not that Zhao Yun could not but that he did not want to. Zhao Yun looked at Xu Chu and said indifferently, "This is the last time. If there is a next time, I will kill you! Let's go. "After that, Zhao Yun left the Yuan Residence and headed outside the city.
"Hei!" Xu Chu watched Zhao Yun leave and a smile appeared on his face.
"General Xu Chu, General Xu Chu!" When someone saw that Zhao Yun and the others had left, he stepped forward to see what was wrong with Xu Chu. With this push, Xu Chu fell to the ground like a domino.
The person was shocked and went forward to check Xu Chu's breathing. When he felt Xu Chu's breathing, he was relieved.
Xu Chu didn't die, he just fainted. Xu Chu didn't have any strength before, he forced himself to pull himself together. Now that Zhao Yun left, his aura suddenly relaxed and he fainted.
"Prime Minister, Prime Minister, we are saved. We are saved. General Xiahou has already entered the city with Xian Deng!" Cao Cao was sitting quietly in his residence. He was very calm as if victory was in his hands. A messenger rushed in and shouted at Cao Cao.
If it was in the past, Cao Cao would have directly beheaded this messenger. How could he make such a big fuss about something like this?
But this time, Cao Cao did not care at all. He directly stood up and said, "What did you say?" Cao Cao's eyes widened. It was very stressful. After all, Cao Cao was a leader. He had been in this position for a long time. So he was not angry.
"Prime Minister, Xiahou, Great General Xiahou led the First Army into the city. They have entered the city!" The messenger said to Cao Cao in fear.
"Haha, haha! I knew that God would not betray me. God would not betray me! " Cao Cao laughed. In fact, when Xu Chu was defeated, Cao Cao was a little lost. Although there were hundreds of thousands of troops outside the city, they thought that the smoke in the city was a fire. All parties thought that the troops had already responded. Because without Cao Cao's military order, leading troops to force Nanpi without permission would make people suspect that they were rebelling. What's more, their lord, Cao Cao, was a suspicious person.
However, Xiahou Chun was not afraid. Cao Cao would not suspect Xiahou Chun. After all, Xiahou Chun was his brother. Moreover, with Xiahou Chun's brain, who would believe that he would rebel?
Therefore, after seeing the so-called smoke signal over there, Xiahou Chun immediately came over with his troops.
He did not expect that Nanpi City was really under attack, so Xiahou Chun immediately led his men into the city gate.
"Zhongkang, where is Zhongkang?" Cao Cao laughed heartily. After that, it was his concern for Xu Chu. After all, Xu Chu was his trusted bodyguard.
"General Xu Chu, he, he, he!" The messenger spoke in a hurry. For a long time, he did not say anything.
Cao Cao listened to him and thought that Xu Chu had died in the battle.
"Zhongkang! You died so miserably! "Cao Cao shouted.
"Prime Minister, you misunderstood. General Xu Chu is not dead. He just fainted! He is exhausted! "
Listening to the messenger's explanation, Cao Cao wiped away his tears.
After a long time, the fighting in the Yuan Residence had become much quieter. The fighting noises spread from inside the city to outside the city.
Cao Cao knew that this was a sign that the "Liaodong Iron Cavalry" had been driven out of the city.
"I, Liu Meng, greet the Prime Minister!" Several captains who went into the camp first walked in and kowtowed to Cao Cao, saying, "I am incompetent and have frightened the Prime Minister!" These people were left behind by Xiahou Chun to protect Cao Cao.
"Where is Yuan Rang?" Cao Cao frowned and asked. At this time, Xiahou Chun should have come to see Cao Cao in person. This was an opportunity to ask for credit.
"Reporting to the Prime Minister, General Xiahou has led his troops to chase after the enemy!" The captain named Liu Meng said to Cao Cao with cupped fists.
"He chased after them?" Cao Cao was stunned for a moment. This is a good opportunity to ask for a reward. If I save my lord, then I will be able to show my face in front of my lord. It will be a great merit.
However, Xiahou Chun chose to chase after the enemy.
"Prime Minister, do you want me to order General Xiahou to come back?" Cheng Yu asked Cao Cao.
"Forget it! Let him go! " Cao Cao shook his head. He also knew that this was Xiahou Chun's character. He did not like credit, but he loved military achievements and killing more. This person seemed to be born for the battlefield. Therefore, when he was shot in the eye by Lü Bu's subordinate, he was not surprised at all. Instead, he cut off his damaged eye and swallowed it.
Originally, after the north was pacified, Xiahou Chun had been shouting that he wanted to go back to Yan Province and fight to the death with Yangzhou. If it were not for Cao Cao stopping him, Xiahou Chun was afraid that he would have led his men to go south first.
Now that he finally had such an opportunity, would he give it up?
"Zhongde, go and call the commanders of the several armies outside South Skin City!" Cao Cao's face suddenly became gloomy as he said to Cheng Yu.
Cheng Yu looked at Cao Cao's expression and knew that someone was going to be unlucky. Although Cao Cao was very surprised that he was saved, he was also angry. Why did he, Cao Cao, fall into such a dangerous situation? This was among hundreds of thousands of troops.
But in the end, he was almost killed. If Cao Cao did not kill a group of people, his anger would not be appeased.
"Also, which gate did the Liaodong Cavalry enter from?" Cao Cao asked Cheng Yu.
"Reporting to Milord, they entered from the South Gate!" Cheng Yu replied. Zhao Yun's white horse entered from the South Gate.
"Also invite the South Gate Commandant!" Cao Cao thought of this person.
"Yes!" Cheng Yu nodded. Soon, a series of messengers left and went to their respective barracks. The commanders and deputies of those barracks all went to South Skin City. Boss Cao was angry.
The commanders and deputies were all trembling with fear.
