This was an open land. Cao Cao immediately saw the army on the hillside and was entangled with Liu Bei's army.

What made Cao Cao happy was that he had already gained an absolute advantage and killed Liu Bei's army to retreat step by step. A long-lost sense of excitement arises naturally, and Cao Cao had the urge to drive his horse into the enemy formation.

Although he also has good martial arts skills, Cao Cao was over 60 years old and was no longer impulsive. He calmed down and watched the battle between the two armies and decided the direction of the breakthrough.

After watching carefully, Cao Cao's face quickly became a little ugly.

Because one of his troops had an absolute advantage in numbers, the soldiers did not fight bravely to fight the enemy, but followed Liu Bei's army and followed closely.

Compared with the Battle of Guandu in my memory, the current army is more well-equipped, but instead of the kind of spirit he used to fight against Yuan Shao's army, he spends more time dealing with errands.

On the other hand, Liu Bei's army was defeated and retreated, and the soldiers watched over each other and were afraid of death.

One person was in danger, and many robes came to rescue him, so that the Cao army that was close to him was often beaten to death by Liu Bei's army. If it were to be in the case of war damage, Cao Cao's army would be larger than Liu Bei's army.

Despite this, relying on superior forces, Cao Cao's army drove Liu Bei's army to retreat to Nanzheng.

Seeing that Liu Bei's army was about to leave the battlefield, only Wei Yan was still fighting with Pang De, but because his soldiers were not very busy, Pang De could not do anything to Wei Yan.

Cao Cao sighed and asked the guard to support Pang De.

Seeing Liu Bei's army retreating collectively, the Cao army soldiers breathed a sigh of relief and they won a victory as they wished.

Cao Cao was a little helpless about this nominal victory. Seeing that his morale was already sluggish and his army had no desire to fight, he no longer wanted to fight with Liu Bei.

But Yang Xiu's body was not cold, and he needed to find a suitable reason to retreat.

The Cao army soldiers became more relaxed, and even Pang De, who had been pursuing Wei Yan, stopped chasing him.

Wei Yan had a strong ability to grasp the situation on the battlefield. After feeling that Cao Cao's army had no intention of fighting to the death, he also began to observe the entire battlefield.

Not long after, Wei Yan discovered Cao Cao's location, and there were not many guards around him.

Cao Cao was the commander of the three armies, and Wei Yan couldn't help but think about the beheading operation.

Therefore, when he retreated, he did not retreat to Nanzheng with the army, but chose to retreat from his flank to Taibai Mountain.

It seemed that Wei Yan was also leading the army to retreat, but in fact, he led the army to draw an arc, getting closer and closer to the hillside where Cao Cao was, and he could not see ten miles.

At such a distance, if you let go of the horse's hooves and kill them, you can reach Cao Cao in just one cup of tea and make extraordinary achievements.

Pang De, who had been holding Wei Yan tightly, had already stopped chasing, but suddenly there was an ominous sign. He immediately took Cao Cao's guard and rode his horse to chase Wei Yan.

The battlefield that had become calm suddenly suddenly rose and Wei Yan, who had retreated to the foot of the mountain, did not retreat to the mountain, but set up a defensive formation at the foot of the mountain.

Wei Yan himself took the lead and rushed to the hillside where Cao Cao was, with dozens of cavalry guards.

Wei Yan used his eyes to see Pang De leading his troops to chase him. He was afraid that Cao Cao would escape, so he picked up his bow and arrow and watched Cao ** go.

Although Cao Cao rarely fought in person, his martial arts skills are not weak. When he was young, he wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of offering a treasure sword to kill Dong Zhuo.

Although Wei Yan's archery skills are good, it is still unlikely to hit Cao Cao.

Cao Cao was about to draw his sword to block the arrow when he suddenly remembered the strategy of retreating, so he used the plan. While knocking the flying arrows, he took the initiative to turn over and fall, and pretended to be an arrow.

When Cao Weiyan saw Cao Cao turn over and fall off the horse, he thought Cao Cao had been shot and was overjoyed. He abandoned his bow and knife and rode his horse up the hillside to capture and kill Cao Cao.

Although Pang De did not catch up with Wei Yan, he had already seen his intentions and naturally would not let Wei Yan go up the mountain, attacked from the slant, intercepted Wei Yan, shouted:

"Don't hurt my lord!"

Pang De's martial arts were not inferior to Wei Yan, because he was afraid that Wei Yan would hurt Cao Cao, so he had the will of hard work and moved forward and retreated to Wei Yan.

Cao Cao couldn't stand up, and Pang De asked the guards to slowly lift them down the hillside with a stretcher.

The generals won the victory and also withdrew their troops to come to greet Cao Cao.

Cao Cao was dissatisfied with the battle situation, but disappeared and ordered the withdrawal of troops.

Ma Chao, who was waiting for an opportunity behind Cao Cao's army, saw Cao Cao's army coming all over the mountains and fields, and did not dare to stop it, so he immediately retreated to the depths of Taibai Mountain.

Cao Cao returned to the village with injuries because he did not have the management of the master Bo Yang Xiu, and the tent seemed messy.

When the generals saw Cao Cao was injured, they urgently ordered the doctor to treat him.

Although Cao Cao was not shot, he fell from the horse. His body was no better than before, and he left many bruises and abnormal pain.

Thinking of Yang Xiu's various benefits, Cao Cao was a little disgusted, so he ordered the collection of Yang Xiu's body, and found a place to be buried in a good place.

After a few days, Cao Cao's injuries improved and he ordered the team to go.

Because Pang De was rewarded with great rewards, Cao Cao still ordered Pang De to cut off the rear to express his dissatisfaction with Zhang He, Xu Huang and others.

When Cao Cao wanted to pretend to be sick, he lie in a felt carriage and walked with the tiger army on both sides.

Although there are small groups of Liu Bei's military spies from time to time, Liu Bei seemed to be unable to understand Cao Cao's idea, fearing that he was ambushed by Cao Cao, and did not raise an army to chase him.

Although everyone was frightened by Cao's army, there were no accidents along the way and they returned to Chang'an smoothly.

...

...

Cao Cao suddenly sent troops to attack on the whole line. Although Liu Bei was caught off guard, he responded properly and did not suffer any major losses.

After Cao Cao obtained Shangfeng, he suddenly withdrew his troops. Zhuge Liang believed that he would abandon Hanzhong and leave, but he did not dare to take the risk of sending people to chase him.

Although after Wei Yan came back, he asked Liu Bei for credit and said that Cao Cao was hit by him and solved the doubts about Cao Cao's sudden withdrawal.

Of course, Liu Bei did not think that Wei Yan would deceive him. He wanted to use Wei Yan more and wished he would make more contributions, so he remembered him a merit.

But Zhuge Liang and Fa Zheng obviously did not take this matter seriously, nor did they have the idea of ​​expanding the results of the battle. Wei Yan, who was ready to lead the troops to chase Cao Cao, was hit and left in disappointment.

After Cao Cao completely withdrew from the slope, the long-lasting battle in Hanzhong finally came to an end.

With Cao Cao's voluntary retreat, Liu Bei's victory was declared.

Hanzhong returned to Xichuan's embrace, and Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang began to officially take over Hanzhong.

After the people were safe, Zhuge Liang proposed to send troops to capture Shangyong County.

Shangyong was originally under the jurisdiction of Jingzhou and happened to border Hanzhong.

Because Xiangyang County was already in the hands of Liu Bei, Shangyong only had one waterway with Wancheng, and Xinye figured it out, but it was basically impossible for Cao Ren, who was guarding Wancheng, to send troops to support Shangyong from the waterway.

In fact, Shangyong County City is already an isolated city, so it is not very difficult to capture.

Ma Su knew that even if he had the most contributions, he would not be able to get the value of Liu Bei. He had to wait until Liu Chan took office, and he didn't know what time it was...

Speaking of which, he is still a young hero, but Ma Su is not young anymore. He is nearly thirty years old, even older than Zhuge Liang's fledgling age.

He has been following Liu Bei for more than ten years, and of course he also wants to get high-ranking officials and generous salaries.

But Liu Bei insisted on reserveing ​​talents for Liu Chan, and Ma Su had no choice but to keep a low profile. He wanted to find a dormant place first and took a fancy to Shangyong County.
