The Cao army's march in the Wulin area was still very slow.

In order to pass through the mud, Cao Cao asked Cheng Yu and others to drive the seriously ill soldiers and pounce on the mud with straw. In the cold weather, these already ill soldiers were struggling and moved forward with difficulty while crying and begging. Cheng Yu sent a supervisory team and couldn't help but whip the soldiers. They could only advance in pain and open the way for the entire army.

"Hurry up! A thief who is killed!" Cao Jun's army roared angrily, waving his whip, without any pity for these comrades who had joined the army.

The soldiers who were paving the road were accidentally caught in the mud. The soldiers in the supervision team walked over and cursed and were about to whip the person, but suddenly felt a sharp pain in their legs. Before he could scream, a trace of light flashed in the darkness. A huge creature rushed over from nowhere and threw the man to the ground!

"Enemy attacks, enemy attacks!" The Cao army was shocked and went to the camel beast to grab swords and guns to prepare to face the enemy.

But soon they discovered that the enemy was not Sun Liu's ambush, but a huge and colorful tiger.

The tiger held the Cao army soldier in his mouth, and his sharp teeth pierced the man's neck. The hero who was still shouting for nothing in the tiger's mouth had no power to fight back, and only his wrist was still shaking gently.

The tiger glanced at everyone in front of him with contempt. Without waiting for the Cao army soldiers to react, they quickly turned around and leaped. The long tail like a steel whip swept across, scaring everyone to hide aside.

Shanjun understands human nature.

If the Cao army advanced with great courage, it would definitely restrain its sharpness and dare not show up. But now the Cao army is not motivated and even abuses its comrades. The tiger immediately showed its terrifying minions and immediately took away a person's life.

"How dare you be crazy!"

When Cheng Yu saw a tiger attacking his army, he was furious. He waved his hand immediately and asked someone to shoot the tiger, but heard a heart-wrenching scream from the back team.

"Ahhh!" The voice was extremely shrill. The dark night sky was filled with the wailings of Cao soldiers, screaming and begging for mercy in pain. The screams were accompanied by the long and sad wolf howls in the dark night and the indescribable terrifying screams. The Cao army, who could not see at first sight, was immersed in an atmosphere of despair, which made Cao Cao's hair stand up.

I had long heard that Jingchu was a barbarian land, but Cao Cao really didn't expect that it would be barbaric like this before.

There are wolves and tigers at a moment. I can’t imagine what will happen next. Cao Cao made a quick decision:

"Go forward immediately, kill anyone who hesitates!"

The generals of the Cao army obeyed the orders, and the tiger and leopard cavalry galloped first, trampling all the soldiers who were paving the way into the mud!

Not only that, the soldiers who were exhausted before were also thrown into the mud pit by Cao Ren's soldiers. The soldiers kept begging for mercy, begging their former comrades, Shangguan spared their lives and took them back to the north, but escaping now is important, who cares about the lives of these people?

The war horses ran wildly and the grain carts advanced. The soldiers who were thrown on the ground were quickly trampled to death and crushed to death. Their bodies and bones were constantly trampled and joined with the soil. The Cao army soldiers behind them stepped on their bodies. Everyone was taciturn, and a strange smell filled the army.

Cao Cao has always firmly implemented the word "ruthless" in his life and has long been used to this small scene, but this time he finally felt a little unhappy in his heart.

After massacring so many of our own people, others are afraid that they will have a lot of anti-intentions in their hearts.

At first, he had the idea of ​​retreating to Jiangling to keep on fighting, but now he looks at it, I'm afraid that Jiangling will not be able to defend it anymore.

Damn, damn.

These soldiers were unwilling to take care of themselves, and Cai Mao escaped at the last minute, otherwise I would not have been able to look like this.

In depressed, Cao Cao finally began to reflect deeply and began to share the problems of this battle.

Since the arrival of the south, the Cao army has been obsessed with a huge sense of superiority. Even if it was attacked by Guan Ping and even Cao Ren was defeated, the senior leaders of the Cao army always believed that this was just a disease of scabies. As long as the Cao army advances in both directions and attacks with all their might, the losses will be greater at most and the battle will be a little ugly, but it will not be a problem to eliminate Sun and Liu.

Some soldiers in the Northern Army even gloated and thought that this would greatly consume the barbarians, which was a good thing.

In this optimistic atmosphere, Cao Jun stayed from late autumn to late winter, and Sun and Liu could only do some harassment, which changed everyone's mentality a little.

Cai Mao was timid in Cao Cao before, waiting for Cao's army to wipe out the world and then honestly became a member of Cao Cao's status as an old classmate, but seeing Cao Cao had to rely on him, he simply showed the fierceness and arrogance of the head of the Cai family, and seized much greater autonomy from Cao Cao than Zang Ba.

Cao Ren was the best general under Cao Cao's command. He had good skills in destroying cities and slashing villages and judging the situation, and was deeply trusted by Cao Cao.

But when he got on the boat, Cao Ren could not command the water battle at all. Cao Cao was very disappointed with him, but he had to use him at a critical moment - well, my filial piety and flaws disappointed me again. Isn't this beyond my expectations?

Zhao Yan was best at mediating the relationship between the army. Cao Cao thought that he could do a good job of commanding the army alone, but this time he couldn't balance the relationship with Le Jin and Xu Huang. It seems that he could only continue to be his deputy in the future and could no longer lead the army alone.

Thinking about it this way, the only one who can maintain his true nature is Zi Lian...

He used to be greedy, but now he is still greedy, and he never forgets his original intention.

Cao Cao remembered the violent argument that Chang Diao had said before that loyal people often defected to Liu Bei, and he felt even more frustrated.

Fortunately, there is Yunshan...

To be fair, there are indeed people with noble morals under Cao Cao's sect, such as Xun Yu, Cui Yan, and Mao Jie.

But it is because these people are extremely moral, that they go further and further away from Cao Cao, and Cao Cao dare not entrust big things to them. But Yunshan is different. This person has no extraordinary virtues and fights completely with his bloody courage and simple gratitude.

This young man once went to Jiangling. At that time, Chen Qun clearly discovered that he was extraordinary, but did not recommend him to Gu. Humph, he knew that he was an extraordinary ship when he sent several ships of food, but he didn't understand this when he introduced talents. After all, he was a famous scholar and did not want to recommend people who were unvirtuous. The same was true for him and Fengxiao back then...

"If I were to worship Xiao and Tan, I would not have been defeated like this." Cao Cao couldn't help but sigh.

Chen Lin and Dong Zhao both lowered their heads in shame, not knowing how to take Cao Cao's words.

After Guo Jia's death, Cao's army's intelligence network was in chaos and he was confused at all. Cheng Yu had mentioned this before.

Yunshan is the same as Guo Jia in the prime minister's mind. That's really amazing. I don't know how this son is now.

Cheng Yu heard Cao Cao's boredom and said with a wry smile:

"Prime Minister Don't worry, General Yun is very skilled in martial arts and brave in fighting. Even if he is trapped in a heavy siege, he can always come out, not to mention that the land of Shiyang is not a dead end. If he gets the prime minister's guidance in the future, he will definitely become a pillar of the Han Dynasty."

Cao Cao's mood finally improved a little bit. He laughed to the sky, and his cheerful smile finally diluted the previous unhappiness:

"When I returned to Xudu, I summoned Tanzhi to come. I couldn't wait to see this young hero."

But Cao Cao's joy did not last long. As soon as his laughter stopped, he heard another burst of exclamation from the rear team in the army.

The team was too long, and Cao Cao and others couldn't see clearly what was behind.

"Where are tigers and leopards? We still have tens of thousands of soldiers and armor, how can we be abused by these animals? Humph, I personally led my troops to kill these animals."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was another burst of exclamation behind him, and then the military formation began to be in chaos.

Even if Cao's army was at the end of the road, it would not be beaten like this by the wolves. Only then did Cao Cao realize that something was wrong.

I saw a team of fast horses coming from behind quickly, and the knight immediately exclaimed:

"Prime Minister is leaving quickly, Guan Ping is here!"

"Ah!" Cao Cao was startled at first, and then realized that Guan Ping's army should not have many people. He snorted coldly and shouted:

"What are you doing alone? Zhongde, come and take Guan Ping's head!"

Cheng Yu had long been unable to bear it, so he immediately called and led thousands of soldiers to intercept. In an instant, there were only a few dozen guards left by Cao Cao.

With Cheng Yu and Cao Ren behind the palace, Cao Cao finally breathed a little relieved. He asked the cavalry:

"How many soldiers and horses does Guan Ping have?"

"About three hundred people!" the cavalry said quickly.

"Yes." Cao Cao nodded. He saw that the cavalry was still standing not far beside his guard of honor, and frowned again:

"What are you doing here? Why don't you turn around and kill the enemy quickly?"

The cavalry shook his head and said, "I can't obey my duty."

"Why?" Cao Cao was stunned.

The cavalry smiled and slowly raised his head, revealing a handsome young and passionate face under the flames.
