Chapter 713

Seeing this, the Cao army was completely motivated and they all threw away their armor and fled in a panic. Wen Chou saw that the enemy had been defeated, and he felt that killing such an enemy was meaningless, so he would wrap his cavalry up and surrounded them. At the same time, he shouted loudly: "Don't kill if you disarm!Don't kill if you disarm!" Seeing that there was nowhere to escape, thousands of Cao soldiers threw away their weapons and surrendered. Wen Chou actually captured the Cao army camp in a battle?!

Ai Lang rushed to the camp accompanied by Jia Xu and others. Seeing the scene in front of him, he felt inexplicably. Wen Chou ran to Ai Lang and said excitedly: "Lord, we have won a great victory!" Then he said with a puzzled look: "But I don't know where Cao Pi and so many Cao soldiers have gone?"

Ailang couldn't help but look at Jia Xu, then shouted to Wen Chou: "Go and bring an officer here." Wen Chou replied and quickly walked down. After a while, he led an officer of Cao's army to Ailang. Wen Chou shouted, "Why don't you kneel down when you see our lord?" The officer knelt down and bowed: "Go to see the villain, pay homage to the King of Qin!" He looked a little at a loss.

Ailang was not used to talking to the person kneeling on the ground and said, "Get up and talk." The officer hurriedly thanked him, then stood up and stood respectfully in front of Ailang.

Ailang asked, "Why are you the only army in the camp? Where have Cao Pi and the main army gone?" The officer hesitated for a moment, then clasped his fists and said, "When the words of the King of Qin, we were ordered to stay and cut off the rear. The main force and the prime minister, in fact, had already withdrawn last night!..."

Ailang only felt unbelievable and asked hurriedly: "Where did you retreat?" "Qingyun Ridge." Ailang had never heard of Qingyun Ridge, so he couldn't help looking at Jia Xu. Jia Xu explained: "Qingyun Ridge is located in the southwest of Yangqiu Mountain. It is a steep mountain! Not only is the mountains there steep, but there are also thorns and thorns, and tigers and leopards appearing. It is impossible for the army to march there!" The officer hurriedly said: "There was an old man who came to offer advice to the prime minister. I don't know the specific situation. Everything the villain said is true!"

Jia Xu felt that the officer didn't seem to be lying, so he clasped his fists at Ailang and said, "Lord, please immediately send someone to investigate Xiahouyuan camp halfway up the mountain of Yangqiu Mountain, and at the same time, send scouts to quickly investigate the situation in Qingyunling!" Ailang nodded and immediately sent two scouts.

Ailang asked the officer to be taken down, and then walked into Cao Pi's tent accompanied by Jia Xu and others. As soon as he entered the tent, he saw that the flags, camp beds and other things were left behind. It can be seen that Cao Pi and others retreated in a hurry. Ailang walked to the case, flipped through the documents on the case, and found a manuscript of poetry. He couldn't help but be curious. He picked it up and read it, saying, "The east is Jieshi, which shocked Qingzhou, and brought the emperor's power to sweep the world!..." Ailang laughed and joked: "Cao Pi is very ambitious!" Jia Xu laughed and said, "Cao Pi is learning Cao Cao everywhere, using military force, and poetry and prose. However, he can't learn anything like this no matter how he learns! He can't become a dog like a tiger!"

Ailang threw the poem on Shuai's desk, continued to roll it up, and smiled and said, "Old Jia, you are still as bad as you did in the past!" Jia Xu smiled and clasped his fists and said, "Thank you for your praise!" Ailang couldn't help rolling his eyes, feeling that he was really defeated by this guy. Seeing that there was no news worth paying attention to in the documents on Shuai's desk, he stopped looking and sat down in Cao Pi's position. Thinking of the current situation, he felt a little depressed.

The scouts sent to investigate rushed back one after another before sunset. The Xiahouyuan camp on the mountainside was indeed empty, and a Cao army gathered on the Qingyun Ridge, led by General Cao Chun, guarding a mountain stream.

When Ailang received this report, he immediately wanted to lead his army to chase him. However, Jia Xu said: "You can't chase this way! The terrain of Qingyun Ridge is dangerous. When our army rushed to Qingyun Ridge, it was impossible for us to break through the enemy's blockade in a short time. We could only sacrifice the lives of the officers and soldiers! His subordinates suggested that Yan Liang's troops continue to camp in Yangqiu Mountain, while our main army was divided into one, one with ten thousand troops led by General Ju Yi to aid Donglai, and the rest of the army was led by the lord personally to advance west along the official road, and perhaps intercept Cao's army!" Ailang felt that Jia Xu's arrangement was the most appropriate, so he immediately issued a series of orders according to Jia Xu's suggestion.

Not long after, the soldiers were surging and shouting horses. Ailang led more than 100,000 troops from Yangqiu Mountain to advance westward along the official road. At the same time, the Cao army, who had passed through Qingyun Ridge, ran westward, and all the supplies were left behind. According to Sima Yi, the most important thing now is to escape back to Linji, and everything else was not important. Along the way Cao's army escaped, armor and armor were thrown everywhere.

Ailang led the army to run wildly. Two days later, in the evening, the army led by Ailang finally arrived at the south bank of the Ji River. However, the floating bridge on the Ji River was burning fiercely, and Ailang and the others were still one step slower. It turned out that less than half an hour before they arrived, Cao's army had just escaped from the river. Ailang was very annoyed, but he was blocked by the Ji River and had no choice. Ailangling's army camped on the spot, and at the same time cut down trees to make wooden rafts and bamboo rafts to prepare for building a floating bridge.

Cao Jun, who had fled into Linji, was exhausted and panting, almost exhausted, but everyone felt a sense of joy in escaping from the disaster.

Cao Pi said to Maode with gratitude: "Mr. Maode, it's really thanks to you! If you hadn't led us to Qingyun Ridge and broke through the siege, the consequences would be unimaginable!" Maode bowed and said: "It is the honor of the people to be able to share the worries of the Prime Minister!" Cao Pi nodded with a smile.

Sima Yi walked in quickly and clasped his fists at Cao Pi and said, "Prime Minister, the army led by Lu Bu has arrived at the south bank of Jishui!" Cao Pi was shocked and couldn't help but shout, "So quickly?" Then he said with great gratitude: "Fortunately, I followed Zhongda's advice, otherwise we would be intercepted by Lu Bu!"

Sima Yi frowned and said, "It has not escaped at this moment. Prime Minister, although our main force has successfully retreated, the people and horses are exhausted throughout the journey, and the weapons and supplies are almost exhausted! In this case, it is impossible to resist Lu Bu's counterattack!..." In order to retreat to Linji as quickly as possible, Cao's army threw away armor and weapons, except for the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry and a few elite troops. In other words, although the Cao army is still in scale, it has almost lost its combat capabilities.

Cao Pi couldn't help but worry and quickly asked Sima Yi: "What's the trick Zhongda has?" Sima Yi said: "Strengthen the walls and clear the fields!"

Ailang discussed the next offensive strategy with Jia Xu and others in the big tent, and everyone looked relaxed. Ailang smiled and said, "The enemy has almost discarded almost all the armored staff and supplies. As long as we build a floating bridge, we can defeat them in one fell swoop!" The generals agreed and were full of fighting spirit.

Ailang suddenly felt that it was very bright outside, and couldn't help but look out, and said strangely: "What's going on? Why did the outside suddenly become so bright?" At this time, a personal soldier officer quickly entered the tent, clasped his fists at Ailang and said: "King of Qin, Linji City on the other side of the tent is burning!" Everyone was shocked and quickly left the tent. Looking at Linji on the other side of the Ji River, he suddenly saw a huge city burning, illuminating the night into daylight.

Jia Xu frowned and couldn't help but exclaim, "What a Sima Yi!" Then he said to Ailang: "Lord, they don't plan to accept Linji. This must be the tactic of strengthening the wall and clearing the field proposed by Sima Yi!" Ailang felt a little annoyed and couldn't help but curse, "Damn it!"

Early the next morning, the Qin army quickly built enough bamboo rafts, and then quickly built a floating bridge several miles upstream of Linji. Then, under the leadership of Ailang, the Qin army rushed across the floating bridge and rushed towards the bank of the Yellow River. The county towns and towns all passed by were full of flames, but no one was seen. Jia Xu said to Ailang; "It seems that the Cao army does not intend to guard this area between the Ji River and the Yellow River."

Ailang led his army to the bank of the Yellow River, and saw the turbid waves rolling on the Yellow River. The floating bridge that was supposed to be built on the Yellow River was gone. Ailang felt a little depressed, and felt that the attack he had made with all his strength had completely failed. Seeing that his soldiers were already very tired, he had to leave a few scouts to monitor the movements on the other side of the Yellow River, and then led a large army back to Luoyin to set up camp. This Luoyin is located between the Yellow River and the Ji River, and is located on the south bank of Luoshui, a tributary of the Ji River, so it was named Luoyin. This is just a small county town, and now it has turned into ruins in the flames. Ailang led the army to set up camp on the Luoshui River by Luoyin River, and the army rested. So many days of continuous battles and pursuits have put the Qin army to the limit.

Cao Pi retreated to Pingyuan County on the north bank of the Yellow River, and then received the news that the Qin army stopped pursuing and retreating to Luoyin, and finally got angry. Then, Cao Pi followed Sima Yi's suggestion and arranged the troops to strictly prevent the Yellow River. At the same time, he sent a fast horse to Jizhou to urge the transfer of food, grass, supplies and armored arms.

Accompanied by Sima Yi, Cao Pi walked on the wall of Pingyuan County, looking at the mountains and rivers in the south, and couldn't help but sigh and muttered to himself: "I tried my best, but I didn't expect that in the end I failed! It's so destiny that God is trying to make people!"

Sima Yi clasped his fists and said, "The Prime Minister doesn't have to be discouraged. It's too early to say who wins and loses. After all, Liu Bei and the barbarians are still attacking Lu Bu! And Lu Bu is already in chaos!" Cao Pi couldn't help but show hope in his eyes when he heard this, hoping to hear the good news that Liu Bei's barbarians succeeded, and Lu Bu is in chaos.

Maybe it was as good as God wished. Cao Pi thought this way, and the general of the personal army, Xu Chu, led a dusty young man to the back of Cao Pi. Xu Chu stopped and clasped his fists at Cao Pi and said, "Prime Minister, there is news about Gogurye!" Then he asked the young man to come forward and report. The young man hurried forward and said, "Prime Minister, the villain is Lord Zhang's follower, and there is an emergency military information to report to the Prime Minister!"
