Richard's eyes widened. "No way! Cao Cao is so strong and has so many valiant generals under his command. How could he lose to Yuan Xi? "
"This is the information from Ma Tulin. Do you believe it?" Alberta said angrily. "The situation is critical now. Yuan Xi personally led the army to chase after Cao Cao. Even Xu Chu died in battle! In my opinion, Cao Cao is likely to be finished in this battle. We have to make plans early. "
Richard thought for a moment. "Cao Cao's death is not necessarily a bad thing. With my reputation and status in Cao's Group, I can inherit Cao Cao's legacy just like Yuan Xi inherited Yuan Shao! "
Alberta shook his head, disagreeing with Richard's point of view.
"Whether Cao Cao's defeat is good or bad for us depends on the situation!
"If the overall situation doesn't collapse, then it's a good thing. For example, Yuan Xi attacked Xudu and kidnapped the emperor, so Cao Cao couldn't take advantage of the victory in Guandu to chase after him. The situation didn't collapse with Yuan Shao's death, and he also gained precious time to unify Hebei!
"But now, Cao Cao's defeat is likely to lead to the complete collapse of Cao's Group! We are now deep in the hinterland of Jizhou and are in a dilemma. How can we return to Xudu and inherit the throne? "
Richard suddenly stood up. "Opportunities are not waiting for, they are created by oneself! I'll give the order to return to Xudu! "
However, after Richard gave the order as Cao Xiong, two of Cao Cao's subordinates disagreed.
Richard was anxious. "I'm the commander of this army! If I give the order to retreat, do you dare to disagree? "
The two subordinates shook their heads. "My lord ordered us to attack Weixian County. Even if we don't attack, we can't retreat. Otherwise, we will all be beheaded. The orders of the four young masters are not as important as my lord's orders. "
Alberta shook his head and said in the team channel, "Don't waste your energy. Cao Cao is obviously guarding against you!"
The awakened of the Divine Court couldn't tell them about Cao Cao's defeat. After all, they couldn't explain the Raven Messenger's intelligence channel. This was the unique intelligence channel of the Divine Court training camp. It was convenient and fast.
If Richard told them about the Raven Messenger now, it would make the generals and leaders of Cao's army confused. Why didn't they use this unique channel earlier? What was their intention? It was also disadvantageous to Cao Xiong's identity.
"Do you want to make a move? Kill these two ignorant fools, "Richard said.
Alberta helplessly said, "You can kill them, but your reputation will suffer an avalanche. How are you going to return to Xudu to inherit Cao Cao's legacy?"
Richard felt like he had power but couldn't use it. He was like a caged beast, pacing around the tent.
Alberta said, "Now, we can only give up on these two thousand soldiers and bring the three hundred bodyguards we recruited ourselves back secretly! There were advantages to having fewer people. They could sneak across the Yellow River and not be easily stopped by Yuan Xi's army. As long as his reputation doesn't collapse, there's still hope for him to return to Xudu. "
Richard nodded in agreement. He immediately ordered the entire army to be on guard. Using the excuse of scouting the terrain, he left with his 300 subordinates.
However, when Richard was less than five kilometers away from the Cao army, smoke and dust billowed behind him, and battle cries rang out.
It turned out that Qiao Rui had used the Spirit of the Falcon and Psychic Scan to determine that Anyang had won after Richard had left. She decisively took out the secret order left by Bai Xiaowen in advance, leaving only Tian Yu to guard the city. She took Murong Ping and led ten thousand soldiers out of the city.
The awakened warriors of the Divine Court had already retreated. The two thousand soldiers of the Cao army who were stationed at the hill couldn't resist at all.
Murong Ping was not only good at archery, but also had the ability to track. If there were only a few people, he might not be able to catch up with them. However, Richard and his 300 subordinates left too obvious traces. Of course, they couldn't escape.
Qiao Rui led an army of ten thousand and used the Mengde New Book – Speed in War strategy that Bai Xiaowen had given her to pursue relentlessly. Even though the awakened warriors of the Divine Court had used similar tools to hurry, they couldn't get rid of the tracking.
They were in Ji Province, and there were enemies everywhere.
Richard didn't dare to escape to other places. He could only follow the way he came and escape to Fanyang.
When he arrived at Fanyang, he was blocked by a large army. The leading general held his spear and reined in his horse. He had the majesty of a lord. Behind him was a banner with the words "Hejian Zhang He" written on it. Looking to his left and right, he saw Li Shuyi and Han Xu. There were ten thousand soldiers behind them.
There were obstacles in front and pursuers behind. Richard and Alberta looked at each other and had a bad feeling.
Richard decided to go all out. "Hey, you guys win! Let Yuan Xi come out and talk! "
Zhang He shouted, "You don't deserve to talk to my lord."
Richard sneered. "Ignorant natives. Do you really think that Yuan Xi is Yuan Shao's son? He has been swapped out long ago! Yuan Xi is the same as me. We don't belong to this world! "
Zhang He frowned and said, "What world?"
Li Shuyi said, "General Zhang, Traitor Cao is at the end of his rope. He has lost his mind and deliberately misled people."
Han Xu nodded. "You're right."
Zhang He suddenly understood and said, "I thought that Cao Cao's fourth son was famous for his martial arts. I didn't expect that he would come up with such strange theories when he's at the end of his rope. Forget it, I won't talk nonsense with you. Eat my spear! "
As he said that, Zhang He raised his spear and charged at Richard.
Richard jumped up from his horse and used his spear to meet Zhang He. There were many foot generals in the Three Kingdoms Era, so Zhang He was not surprised.
Zhang He's raw strength was naturally stronger than Richard's. After a few rounds, Richard was in danger.
"Hit!"
Richard suddenly shouted. The spear in his hand glowed brightly. His awakening skill, Lightning Spear, stabbed at Zhang He. It was more than twice as fast as before.
A white light flashed, and in the next second, Han Xu appeared in front of Zhang He's horse. He raised his shield and blocked the spear.
Han Xu activated his earth energy technique and did not move. On the other hand, Richard was forced to take a step back. His face was filled with shock.
Actually, even if Zhang He took this spear, he would not die instantly. After all, he was a Lord rank general. Moreover, Zhang He's Dense Cloud Spear Technique was good at defense. Even if Han Xu did not call for help, Zhang He had more than 70% confidence that he could block this sudden spear.
However, Zhang He was grateful that Han Xu took the initiative to help. He was not like Guan Yu, who valued his face more than his life. He was happy to have allies around him to beat up his opponent.
Taking advantage of the fact that Richard was forced to take a step back in the confrontation with Han Xu, Zhang San let out a loud shout and thrust his spear like a dragon toward Richard's throat.
As an awakened, Richard's defense was very weak. Even if this spear did not have a critical hit, it would still kill him instantly.
Alberta hurriedly threw out a Light of Judgement skill, causing Zhang He's movements to freeze for a few tenths of a second. Richard was only able to escape when there was an opening.
However, behind Richard's 300 people, smoke and dust rose, accompanied by the faint sound of a bamboo flute. Qiao Rui and Murong Ping had already led 10,000 troops to catch up. The two armies had completely surrounded them.
