Seventy miles west of Yumen Pass.

The battle flag with the character "Qin" is covered with blood, and is broken on one side. Under the bloody setting sun, it is tilted and carried on the shoulders of a famous soldier.

The soldiers in that team were all dejected, wearing red and colorful colors, and their morale was extremely depressed.

On the desolate ancient Gobi road, 70,000 defeated soldiers of Qin were retreating westward with weak energy.

In a small oasis next to the ancient road, Cao Cao and his ministers were lying beside the spring water, filling the water with big mouthfuls.

After a while, Cao Cao stood up, looked up at his defeated soldier, shook his head helplessly, his fists clenched tightly, and his unwilling anger burned in his deep eyes.

He was determined to win the battle in Yumen Pass.

However, he never expected that the four generals of Bai Qi did not stick to each other, but instead dared to take the initiative to lead the army to attack and fight back to the city.

What he didn't expect was that when Bai Qi's four generals rushed, the Wei army actually exerted extraordinary combat power, and defeated the 100,000 troops he was proud of in one fell swoop.

Then there was a crushing defeat.

"I can't even beat the pottery merchant's side generals, so how can I talk about returning to the Central Plains? Alas~~" Cao Cao shook his head and sighed with a self-deprecating look, showing his loneliness.

As soon as he finished speaking, several cavalry rushed towards the east, and the first one was Xu Chu.

After slamming the war horses, Xu Chu bowed and shouted: "Your Majesty, I am ten miles away from the northeast and intercepting a team of people. Jia Xu is also among them, claiming that he brought the fallen people from Mongolia to join His Majesty."

Jia Xu?

The Mongolians lost their country?

Cao Cao's body was shocked, his thoughts flew around, and he immediately recalled the distant past.

Before the last battle before he was driven out of Liangzhou by Tao Shang, he sent Jia Xu and his second son Cao Pi to the Xianbei for help, but he did not expect that the two of them took the opportunity to escape and finally defected to the Mongolian Temujin's command.

He even didn't expect that after many years, the newly rising Genghis Khan was destroyed by the pottery merchant so quickly, and Jia Xu was even shameless and dared to come back and join him.

Cao Cao clenched his fists, and anger flowed from his eyebrows. He hesitated for a moment and shouted, "Take that Jia to me."

Xu Chu left after getting the order, and a moment later, he returned with Jia Xu, whose hair and beard were white.

"My minister Jia Xu, please see Your Majesty." Jia Xu treated him calmly without any fear.

Cao Cao pointed at the horse whip and said in a deep voice: "Jia Xu, you are so brave. You betray me back then, but now you dare to come back shamelessly. Aren't you afraid that I will kill you?"

Jia Xu sighed lightly and bowed, "Your Majesty misunderstood. I did go to Xianbei with the second prince for help, but I was robbed by Mongolian cavalry halfway through Mobei and was detained by Genghis Khan. Over the years, I have actually wanted to apologize to Your Majesty at all times. However, Genghis Khan monitored me too closely and I have been suffering from no chance. It was not until Genghis Khan was destroyed by the pottery not long ago that I had the opportunity to apologize to Your Majesty, and I would like to ask Your Majesty to see clearly."

Jia Xu's words explained that the world was perfect and left Cao Cao speechless.

Cao Cao's angry face slightly calmed down and asked again: "Where is Pi'er, where are others?"

Jia Xu sighed again: "After Genghis Khan's defeat, the Tao merchant led his army to chase Ulaanbaatar. The second young master was unable to escape and was already injured by the Tao merchant."

Cao Cao's heart trembled as if he had been cut off. His fist clenched again, and the words "hate" were written on his face.

Seeing this, Jia Xu hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, I have not only brought more than 10,000 Mongolian cavalry to Your Majesty, but also brought Li Yuanba, Zhebei, Huang Zhong and other powerful generals, Sima Yi, Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong and other wise men. These people are all heroes of the world. With these people helping you, why can't Your Majesty return to the Central Plains?"

Cao Cao's face then appeared in front of him, and a hint of joy appeared on his face.

Li Yuanba's strength had long heard Li Jing and others who came to join him before. Of course, he had long been well-known for his talent as a strategist such as Zhuge Liang. Having these people come to join him was like a fortune from him. How could he not be happy?

The resentment on Cao Cao's face was completely relieved, and he nodded and said with satisfaction: "Very good, Jia Wenhe, you have attracted so many strange people to me to come and defect to me, which is considered to be a merit. I will forgive you for your previous crime."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Jia Xu was overjoyed and said thank you.

At this moment, another cavalry scout rushed from the east and shouted in panic: "Report to Your Majesty, the Taoist merchant has personally led 400,000 troops to Yumen Pass. Now he has joined the 100,000 defenders of the city and 500,000 troops, and is pursuing our army."

"The pottery thief came so quickly!" Cao Cao was shocked and looked terrified.

He really didn't expect that the pottery merchant would be so fast that he destroyed Mongolia and rushed to Yumen Pass again without stopping.

Moreover, he came with a major army of 400,000, which was clearly intended to raise troops to destroy his Western Qin.

This news not only shocked Cao Cao, but also the civil and military officials of the Qin army were shocked and changed their color.

Li Jing next to him hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, all the Taoist thieves have come up with 500,000 troops. There are also generals like Xiang Yu, Li Cunxiao, and sages like Bodhidharma and Han Fei. Even if we get the help of Temujin's old subordinates, we may not be opponents of Taoist thieves. I think we should quickly retreat to the depths of the Gobi Desert and avoid the enemy's edge."

Cao Cao remained silent.

Rationally, he certainly knew that Tao Shang was powerful and knew that what Li Jing said was the best strategy, but emotionally, he was really unwilling to leave.

Because he knew that both Mongolia and the Japanese kingdoms were destroyed, and all the countries in the world were destroyed, leaving only Qin kingdoms, who were alone and enemies of the powerful Wei kingdom.

If he retreated, he would not only have no hope of returning to the Central Plains, but he would also be destroyed by the Tao merchant sooner or later as the national strength of Wei increased day by day.

After a long silence, Cao Cao suddenly remembered something and asked, "Where is that gentleman? Didn't he say he would come to help me at critical moments?"

Just as Xu Chu was about to answer, a sudden burst of camel bells sounded in the desert north of the oasis.

A group of Qin soldiers hurriedly surrounded Cao Cao and set up a warning formation.

A moment later, a middle-aged man in a white robe rode into his sight on a camel.

Cao Cao looked at him and was immediately overjoyed. He hurriedly called to remove the alert and went forward in person, saying happily: "Sir, you are finally here."

The middle-aged man strangled the camel, looked at Cao Cao and his defeated soldiers, and asked, "What, am I a step late?"

Cao Cao sighed and said bitterly: "I was defeated by the Tao thief's subordinates at Yumen Pass. Now the Tao thief personally led an army of 400,000 out of Yumen Pass and was chasing here. If the gentleman had not appeared in time, I really didn't know what to do."

The middle-aged man said "Oh" and said lightly: "Since I have a connection with Your Majesty, I will do my best to help Your Majesty turn defeat into victory and destroy the pottery merchant."
