Chapter 35: Covetousness

Cao Cao and Ye Zhao's main force finally got in touch, but they were not evenly matched, or they could be said to be unstoppable. The moment the main force of the Cao army approached, the vine armored soldiers who had been hiding in the army finally showed their power. The vine armored soldiers wore were all fire-proofed. The vine armored soldiers were outsourced with animal skins and had amazing defense. Such an army could almost be said to be invincible.

Ye Zhao had been waiting for an opportunity to defeat Cao's army before. Even if he was ambushed before, the Fuji Armor Army was still hidden in the army to avoid scaring Cao Cao away.

Although Cao Cao's ambush caused Ye Zhao a little loss, it also gave Ye Zhao an excellent opportunity. For this battle, Cao Cao almost all the main forces in Jizhou were sent over. At this time, as soon as the vine armor army came out, it was like a sharp knife stabbing into tofu, and instantly cut Cao Cao's 100,000 troops into two pieces.

Cao Cao's Jizhou army was obviously confused by this sudden blow. It was probably the first time in his life that he encountered such an army. He slashed it with a knife, but the other party cut it down, but it was a mess.

Moreover, considering that the defense of the Vine Armor Army itself does not require shields, after Ye Zhao reorganized the Vine Armor Army, the Vine Armor Army alone equipped with a single army, while the new Vine Armor Army was equipped with a second army. The Vine Armor Army did not have a shield, and everyone held a double sword and went to the battlefield, so there was no need to consider defense at all. They only needed attack and greatly improved lethality.

In just a moment, the Cao army, who fought with the Qijia Army, was massacred like harvesting wheat.

Xu Chuhu hurriedly threw away the sword in his hand that was curled in his hand, took a heavy hammer from the horse's back, and smashed it hard on the chest of a vine armor army. Although the vine armor could defend against swords and guns, it could not withstand such blunt attacks. With one hammer, the vine armor that was hit by the vine armor was completely sunken in the chest, and the whole person screamed and flew backwards.

"Lord, retreat!" Xiahou Dun swept away two vine armored soldiers with one shot, protecting Cao Cao, and said in a stern voice: "These thief soldiers don't know what armor they wear, and they are invulnerable to swords and guns!"

Cao Cao's expression turned pale when he heard this. If he was given time, he might be able to figure out a solution. However, Ye Zhao endured it for so long and kept the vine armored soldiers without using them, in order to give Cao Cao a fatal blow. The vine armored army may still have flaws, but it will never be conquered in a short period of time. Ye Zhao obviously would not give Cao Cao the chance to revive his strength. The battle in Jizhou was the ultimate killing situation prepared by Ye Zhao for Cao Cao.

As today's trend is underway, the monopoly of knowledge among aristocratic families, and the land pattern has been broken by Ye Zhao. At this time, the world can no longer be in chaos. Ye Zhao wants to retain the vitality of the Han Dynasty. Therefore, as his biggest opponent, Cao Cao must be destroyed as soon as possible.

Originally, Ye Zhao was not prepared to start the war so early, and Ye Zhao was not ready to embezzle the Central Plains. However, starting from Hulao Pass, because of Cao Hong's misunderstanding and Cao Ang's death later, the decisive battle between the two sides was several years ahead of Ye Zhao's plan. This time it was difficult to swallow all the Cao Cao's territory in one go, but at least, Ye Zhao must get the river/north land. As for Cao Cao, if possible, Ye Zhao wanted to send him on his own.

Cao Cao gathered 130,000 troops in Jizhou this time. As long as these 130,000 troops were destroyed, it would be difficult for Cao Cao to produce a decent army. It only takes one or two years before Ye Zhao could digest Jizhou and Youzhou. At that time, it would be the time to sweep across the Central Plains.

Cao Cao obviously understood the importance of this battle. At that time, facing the king's bomb that Ye Zhao suddenly threw out, even if Cao Cao was unwilling to accept it, he would be powerless to turn things around at this moment.

The Jizhou Army, under the slaughter of the Tengjia Army, has begun to disperse. After all, it is not the elite of the Cao army. Although there are many people, its fighting will be far less than that of the Cao army. With a large number of casualties and the overwhelming momentum of the Guanzhong soldiers, a large number of Jizhou Army either fled or kneeled down to surrender. At this time, not to mention Cao Cao or Han Xin was alive, it was difficult to turn the tide in the face of this situation.

Although he was unwilling to accept it, Cao Cao knew very well that if he insisted on staying at this time, it would not only be the loss of the He/Bei Land, but the beginning of the destruction of the entire Cao family's forces.

After thinking clearly, Cao Cao decisively led Xu Chu, Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Yu Jin and a group of tiger guards to retreat, but the direction of the retreat was not Yecheng, but the plain.

"Where is the lord?" Xun You followed Cao Cao under the protection of all the generals, looked at Cao Cao, and looked at him in surprise.

"After losing this battle, staying in Jizhou was only captured alive by Ye Zhao. Retreat! Retreat to Qingzhou first!" Cao Cao sighed.

When the generals heard this, they felt that the same was true. Even if the 130,000 troops were gone, what could they do if they retreated to Yecheng? In a short period of time, it would be difficult to recruit so many soldiers, and even if they were recruited, how could the newly recruited troops resist Ye Zhao's tiger and wolf army?

But Cao Cao's only advantage compared with Ye Zhao is population, and population also represents that Cao Cao has the potential to surpass Ye Zhao. If Jizhou is gained by Ye Zhao, and Nanyang and Runan, Cao Cao's only advantage will be surpassed by Ye Zhao, how can he compete with Ye Zhao?

But now that things have come to this point, Cao Cao has no other choice. The Jizhou army has been defeated. How can he compete with Ye Zhao?

Cao's army participated in the battle with 130,000, plus Ye Zhao's 60,000 troops. On the entire Muye battlefield, the two sides invested nearly 200,000 troops this time, and once they reach 10,000, they will be boundless. What's more, the 200,000 troops are fighting here. Cao Cao left the flag in place and left the flag. Ye Zhao could not detect Cao Cao's movements at the first time. He is still commanding the army to continue to divide the Jizhou army and gradually encroach on it.

But Ye Zhao didn't notice it, which did not mean that Cao Cao was restless. Ma Chao, who defeated Xiahou Yuan, was preparing to detour the rear and cooperate with the army to give Cao Cao a ruthless move, but before he could go around, he saw a group of Cao troops running towards the east.

If it were ordinary defeated troops, it would be fine. At this moment, the Jizhou army had collapsed completely. The defeated troops were nothing strange, but Ma Chao was sharp-eyed and saw Xiahou Yuan in the crowd at a glance.

Xiahou Yuan is a powerful general under Cao Cao. He is not commanding the battle on the battlefield at this moment. What are you doing here?

Moreover, depending on the situation, Xiahou Yuan was not the main general of this group of horses. Ma Chao's eyes moved from Xiahou Yuan to Cao Cao who was surrounded by a group of generals. Although he did not recognize Cao Cao, his age, coupled with the deployment of Cao soldiers around him, Ma Chao's eyes lit up and he shouted sternly: "Don't let that Cao thief go!"

Originally, Ma Chao was just a fraud, but at this moment, Cao Cao and others had become frightened birds. After hearing this, they rode their horses and whipped them and ran away.

Ma Chao was overjoyed when he saw this, pointed at Cao Cao and laughed loudly, "Sons, chase me, the one wearing a red robe is Cao Cao!"

"Kill~"

Although there were only three thousand cavalry left by his side, Ma Chao was a person who dared to break into the Qiang army and killed the generals and seized the flag. He was afraid. Without saying a word, he did not inform Ye Zhao and urged the horse to chase him.

Cao Cao was frightened when he heard it on the horse's back, so he quickly took off the cloak on his neck and threw it off.

Ma Chao was a little fun to watch. He excitedly urged the horse to speed up and said loudly: "The one who has long beards is Cao Cao!"

When Cao Cao heard this, his muscles on his face twitched, and he heard the sound of horse hooves behind him. He felt a sense of heart. While galloping on his horse, he pulled out a sword from his waist and quickly cut off the long beard under his skeleton.

The two countries chased and fled, and soon left the battlefield, but Ma Chao chased them reluctantly. Seeing Cao Cao's BMW under his crotch, his heart moved and suddenly laughed: "The one riding the white horse is Cao Cao!"

The war horse that Cao Cao sat down, but after he obtained Youzhou, he bought a large amount of money from the extreme north. It was called Jueying, which was not inferior to the BMW of Lu Bu's Red Rabbit Horse. Not to mention that the horse itself is a priceless horse. If he really killed the horse, it would be a problem to escape. Cao Cao hated Ma Chao very much at this moment, and he was even more reluctant to kill his love for his horse, so he just ran away.

Cao Cao didn't want to get entangled with Ma Chao, but it doesn't mean that others could bear this leisure. The master was humiliating his ministers to die. Isn't Ma Chao insulting Cao Cao now?

Especially when a few people looked back, Ma Chao was just a boy under 30 years old, so how could everyone bear this anger?

"Lord, now he has left the battlefield. Ye Zhao's pursuers have not kept up. Only this child is rampant here. Why not kill him?" Xiahou Yuan, who was standing beside him, was so angry that he bit his teeth tightly and said to Cao Cao.

Upon hearing this, Cao Cao looked back at Ma Chao, but saw that there were not many soldiers and horses beside Ma Chao. Originally, there were three thousand cavalrymen, but Ma Chao chased him wildly, and many people were dispersed by Cao Cao's defeated army. Ma Chao had only more than a thousand cavalry around him at this moment. Although he was defeated and fled, he was surrounded by the most elite tiger guards, not to mention the generals such as Xu Chu, Xiahou Dun, and Xiahou Yuan. At that moment, Cao Cao nodded fiercely and said, "You should lead a group of troops to fall behind and then attack him. When Ma Chao reacts, you and I will attack each other."

"Here!" Xiahou Yuan agreed when he heard this. When he passed by a fork, he suddenly took two hundred tiger guards in the other direction.

"I want to hide this kind of trick from me?" Seeing this, Ma Chao thought Xiahou Yuan wanted to lead him away. Cao Cao's great achievements were here. He did not like Xiahou Yuan. He immediately led his troops to continue chasing Cao Cao. When Xiahou Yuan saw that Ma Chao did not chase him, he decisively led his army to hang behind Ma Chao and shot the army behind Ma Chao with his cavalry.

Ma Chao also quickly reacted and quickly ordered the soldiers to stop chasing. Cao Cao and others who were running wildly in front of him stopped when they saw Ma Chao stop. Before Ma Chao could turn his head to deal with Xiahou Yuan, Cao Cao had already commanded Xiahou Dun and Cao Ren launched an attack on Ma Chao's army.
