Just when Dian Qing thought he would die, the sound of galloping horses coming from afar came. On one side of the shore, the Wei army suddenly became panicked, left the shore and rushed to the rear.

On the wasteland, hundreds of heavy cavalry were lined up and pressing towards Cao Xiu's Wei army. At both ends of this cavalry line, two war cavalry advanced with scattered soldiers could be seen. They were the Liang army's light cavalry Feiyu.

Cao Xiu's face had become a walnut, and he shouted and cursed, "He's, he's coming so fast!" The deputy general beside him asked in horror, "General, what should we do? Should we withdraw or fight?"

Cao Xiu said angrily: "Of course we have to fight! We fled before we fight. How to explain to the superiors after returning to Yecheng? What's more, we still have more than a thousand infantry now, and the headquarters can throw them all here, so it's even harder to explain to the emperor." After that, his face darkened and shouted loudly: "The whole army will obey the orders, and the tiger and leopard cavalry will set off to fight the enemy. The infantry will evacuate north first."

After Cao Xiu said that, he rode his horse and galloped towards the Liang army. Nearly two thousand tiger and leopard cavalry also rushed out with him. At this time, they were still a hundred battles away from the Liang army's heavy cavalry. At this distance, they gradually distanced between the war cavalry, lined up and walked opposite to the Liang army's heavy cavalry.

When there were still thirty or forty battles, the light cavalry on both sides pulled their bows and shot arrows, and the arrows flew towards the tiger and leopard cavalry. However, these arrows did not cause much damage to the tiger and leopard cavalry that had been scattered in a row and were protected by heavy armor. After the light cavalry and ferrying the tiger and leopard cavalry, they abandoned the tiger and leopard cavalry and skipped directly from both wings to chase the fleeing Wei infantry.

The tiger and leopard cavalry collided with the Liang army heavy cavalry, and the cavalry and spears stabbed each other. With the sound of metal clashing and the sound of the horse neighing, the soldiers on both sides were stabbed in large numbers. However, the number of the tiger and leopard cavalry was far larger than the latter. The cavalry of the tiger and leopard cavalry was shorter than that of the Liang army, and the war horse was also shorter. Often, the spears of their guns were pierced by the other party's rifle before they could stab the opponent. Some tiger and leopard cavalry had a slightly slashed point, and would slid through the opponent's thick iron armor in a piece of Mars. Cao Xiu, who rushed across the Liang army's cavalry line, saw that there were not many of his tiger and leopard cavalry left intact, and hurriedly shouted: "Retreat! Retreat!"

Cao Xiu's infantrymen were not having a good time. They were shot randomly by the light cavalry Feiyu, and the soldiers were wailing in pain and wailing. After a quarter of an hour, their retreat turned into a retreat...

Dian Qing waited for a while, and the sound of horses neighing on the shore, and the sound of weapons colliding and confronting each other. Dian Qing was overjoyed and expected that his reinforcements had arrived.

Sure enough, half an hour later, the Liang army's heavy cavalry appeared on the river bank, and a gray-bearded veteran appeared among the cavalry. Dian Qing recognized the other party at a glance, and it was Huang Zhong who was as good as him. Dian Qing's fleet immediately leaned forward. Dian Qing came to Huang Zhong and clasped his fists and said gratefully to Huang Zhong: "If it weren't for the veteran Huang coming to save him, Dian and these hundreds of soldiers would have left their lives in the Yellow River. Please ask the veteran general to receive Dian's worship." After he said that, he was about to bow to Huang Zhong.

Huang Zhong quickly supported Dian Qing, stopped the other party, and said, "General Dian Qing does not have to do this. This is the emperor's edict to Huang. This is the duty that Huang should do." The two sides exchanged a few more greetings and talked about the main business. Dian Qing then learned that after Feng Yu received the letter from Fei Ge, he immediately sent Huang Zhong to lead all the chariots of the headquarters, set out from Chenggao, and rushed here along the Yellow River for two days and one night. In one battle, he defeated Cao Xiu and other Wei troops gathered here and rescued Dian Qing.

Dian Qing asked again: "The emperor asked us to help us clear the siege, what should we do next? Should we still implement the original strategy to plunder the Wei army here?"

Huang Zhong waved his hand and said, "The Lord did not say it clearly, but the Lord only asked someone to take a war chariot to fight and did not carry the baggage. The food and grass along the way were carried by the soldiers, so it was impossible for us to continue to stay here."

Dian Qing nodded: "In this way, the emperor means that we must return to Chenggao."

...

Outside the east gate of Yecheng, a super-large newly built camp rose from the ground. This is one of dozens of camps built by the Wei State to gather troops from all over the world. On the battlefield of the camp, the shouts of soldiers were striking through the sky. Most of these soldiers were wearing crude robes, and they were all auxiliary soldiers collected by the Wei army from all over the place. In addition to these auxiliary soldiers, there were also a small number of Wei soldiers in elite uniforms. Most of them were regular soldiers of Wei State transferred from Beiping and Liaodong.

A sharp shout suddenly came from the gate of the military camp: "The emperor is here! All the soldiers are welcome!" Thousands of soldiers who were still practicing on the school ground knelt down and began to shout long live the mountain. A royal chariot surrounded by the black-clad Yulin Army, walked up to the school ground. A scholar in first-class court uniform also turned out from a military tent, knelt down at the imperial chariot, and shouted long live the mountain.

Cao Pi walked down the imperial chariot and said to the black crowd: "The soldiers are flat." Then he said politely to the first-rank official: "The Grand Master is here to invite you quickly, and you are here to train soldiers in person. It's really hard."

This person was the Grand Tutor Sima Yi. Sima Yi and the generals bowed down and thanked each other again before they stood up and wanted to welcome Cao Pi into his central army tent. Cao Pi waved his hand and said, "No, soldiers continue to practice. I will see how the army is practicing here."

When they were talking, someone had already brought chairs, benches, tables and tea. The Wei soldiers started to practice again amidst the sound of commands. At this time, Cao Pi asked: "Tai Shi, how have our troops gathered? I heard that the Liang army went deep into the Wei territory to plunder, and I wonder if it would affect our progress in gathering."

Sima Yi replied: "Go back to Your Majesty, there was indeed a Liang army army that had penetrated into the hinterland of our Great Wei, plundering everywhere, which greatly affected the assembly of our army. However, this trouble has been solved by me. After trying every means to find the temporary nest of this enemy army, I sent Cao Xiu and other generals to defeat them in one fell swoop. Since then, they have never interfered with our army's dispatch."

Sima Yi never mentioned that it was Deng Ai's credit for finding the Liang army stronghold. This was not because he had no need to compete for merit with Deng Ai in order to compete for merit with Deng Ai, because of his current status in the court of Wei. For the real reason, Sima Yi did not want Cao Pi to pay too much attention to Deng Ai, and he wanted Deng Ai to use it for himself, not for Cao Pi of the Wei family.

Cao Pi nodded and said, "It's so good, how many troops have we gathered now? When will we have the power to fight against the Liang army?"
