Just when Cao Cao was hesitating, several scouts galloped in succession.
"Lord Qiqi, the thief army Tai Shici, Zhang He, Zhang Liao, and Yan Liangbu are only twenty miles away from Puyang City."
"The thief army has approached the land of Puyang for ten miles, and there are no less than 100,000 soldiers and horses."
One after another, Cao Cao's face became more and more dark, the so-called three people become tigers, even if one scout is blind, it is impossible for all scouts to be blind.
At this moment, the last urgent report completely made Cao Cao collapse.
"The lord of Qiqi, the rebel general Zang Ba, opened the city to meet the enemy, surrendered to Gao Shun, and killed the deputy general Qin Qi, and now Puyang City has fallen into the hands of the thief army." what Cao Cao was so startled that he almost jumped up.
Zang Ba and Gao Shun were originally Lu Bu's subordinates, but after the city of Pi was broken, Zang Ba and Song Xian, Wei Xu, Hou Cheng and others all voted over, and after returning to Shun, they were also decent and very loyal.
Even so, Cao Cao still didn't believe in Zang Ba very much, so Qin Qi, the nephew of Cai Yang, Xiahoudun's friend, was Zang Ba's deputy general, which was actually the duty of overseer.
But what he never expected was that among the eight strong generals under Lu Bu, Zang Ba admired Gao Shun the most, and Gao Shun had a life-saving grace for him, so as soon as Gao Shun arrived, with just a few words, he made Zang Ba kill Qin Qi and rebel.
This news is undoubtedly a fatal blow to Cao Cao.
The grain and grass of the 100,000 army were all hoarded in Puyang City, and the loss of Puyang City meant that millions of grain and grass fell into the hands of the enemy.
And what frightened Cao Cao the most was that among his 100,000 soldiers and horses, there were 20,000 Taishan Kou.
Zang Ba was originally born in Taishan Kou, and his status in Taishan Kou is unparalleled, the reason why Taishan Kou will obey Cao Cao's orders is also because Zang Ba is obedient to Cao Cao, and now Zang Ba has surrendered to the enemy, which means that more than 20,000 Taishan Kou are about to become a hidden danger and may rebel at any time.
At this moment, although Cao Cao's face was full of unwillingness, he was helpless.
Five days, maybe at most another five days, Gongsun Bai will die of thirst if he does not starve to death, even if Gongsun Bai does not die, most of the white horse Yicong on the mountain will be dying, waiting for his soldiers and horses to climb to the top of the mountain and easily capture Gongsun Bai.
Of course, it is impossible for Gongsun Bai to wait to starve to death and die of thirst, and when he can't stand it at all, he will desperately break through, then the final result is that 5,000 white horses died in a heroic battle, and Gongsun Bai either died or was captured.
However, just before the victory was about to come, the situation suddenly reversed, and now the enemy army had at least 130,000 men, and among his 100,000 soldiers and horses, there were 20,000 rebels at any time.
The troops occupy a disadvantage, the equipment is not as good as the enemy, not to mention the final victory or defeat of the battle, but if you want to trap Gongsun Bai on the top of the mountain, it is impossible to decide, as long as the Cao army under the mountain falls into a big battle, it is the time for Gongsun Bai and five thousand white horses to get out of trouble easily.
Once Gongsun Bai broke through, he would almost lose the battle, losing the reserve grain and grass in Puyang City, and the grain and grass of his 100,000 army would not be able to support it for ten days, and he would definitely be defeated.
For the nine mountains and nine thousands, the success is short, the success is short Could it be that this is the will of heaven, Cao Cao's eyes showed endless resentment and sadness.
"Lord Qiqi, the enemy's reinforcements have been divided into two routes, and they have come straight to Beishan, which is already ten miles away."
The scouts continued to fly in to make urgent reports.
Finally, Cao Cao looked at the top of Beishan in pain, and said weakly: "Withdraw the troops, withdraw the troops immediately, and retreat to Lihu City."
Woooooooo The sound of trumpets continued to rise, and although many of the 100,000 Cao soldiers were puzzled, they had to obey the order, pull out the camp, and withdraw to the southeast one after another.
Looking at the Cao army under the mountain withdrawing to the southeast one after another, a dark cloud that was originally black and oppressive was dispersed and rolled away in a blink of an eye.
The white horse of the mountaintop mountain cheered one after another.
Gongsun Bai stared blankly at Cao Jun, who was gradually disappearing at the bottom of the mountain, without any joy, only felt that his whole body was as if he had been emptied, and sat on the ground.
Many years later, Gongsun Bai recalled that he had been riding horses for half his life, galloping in the rain of bullets and arrows, and experiencing countless battles large and small, but the most memorable thing for him was this battle, which had never been a battle, so embarrassed that he almost despaired.
For more than ten years, he has not tasted defeat, he was crowned the prince of the country at the age of twenty-five, sitting on the land of four states, coupled with the fact that the system's armor has surpassed this era, and his own force has become the pinnacle of this era, so that the actual psychological age is only thirty years old, and he gradually breeds pride, even in the face of Cao Cao, the first hero of the Three Kingdoms in history, it is not enough to make him cautious enough.
Originally, according to the intelligence of the Black Panther Guard, Cao's army was only 30,000 or 40,000 people, and 5,000 Bai Ma Yi could come and go freely, even if it was not good, there were still 30,000 backup troops, and his favorite result was to imitate Guan Yu in history to go to the meeting with a single sword, relying on his personal bravery, holding Cao Cao to break through, and then converging Pang Tong to make a beautiful counterattack, plus the two main armies took the opportunity to sweep the central and southern parts of Yanzhou, so that Yanzhou can be determined, and then the Central Plains can be determined.
However, facts have proved that since the Battle of Guandu, he has lacked caution about Cao Cao, the first hero of the Three Kingdoms in history, which made this battle very passive and almost a dead end.
Pride and contempt for the enemy, self-serving, coupled with intelligence mistakes, made him almost fall into a catastrophe, this lesson is enough to wake him up for the rest of his life.
Guo Jia and Zhao Yun walked over slowly, sat on both sides of Gongsun Bai, and said in a low voice: "Lord, people are not sages, who can do nothing, the lord has done a good job, there is no need to blame yourself too much." ” Gongsun Bai took a deep breath, didn't speak, and said bitterly for a long time: "Although I don't know why Cao Jun retreated, but I think that the brothers must have worked hard, and I don't know how many brothers have been broken in the middle, Gongsun Bai's crime is a thousand deaths."
Guo Jia said in a deep voice: "There has never been an undefeated person, not to mention that the lord of this battle still won, although the victory was very difficult, but after all, it was a victory."
In this battle, Cao Thief failed to put the lord to death, that is, he sounded his death knell, and then it was time for the lord to counterattack, not the time to blame himself.
The lord used himself as bait to lure the army of Cao thieves, and now the Cao thieves have fled in panic like a lost dog, and it is the lord who attacked the entire territory of Yanzhou in one fell swoop, cut off the ties between the five states of the Central Plains, and fully liquidated the opportunity of the Cao thieves, and asked the lord to rise up."
Gongsun Bai's heart was shocked, and when he looked back, he saw countless Bai Ma Yi looking at him from the same time, and immediately jumped up and roared viciously: "Cao Cao, you can't kill Lao Tzu in this battle, Lao Tzu can make you lose your skin even if you don't die."
At the foot of the mountain, the sound of hooves was like drums, the footsteps were like thunder, and the two armies swarmed in, quickly converging together, and rushing towards the foot of the mountain.
Zhao Yun and Wen Chou were shocked, and immediately led the white horses to roar down and go to meet the battle.
When Gongsun Bai rushed to the bottom of the mountain surrounded by Yan Ba and other guards, there were already sky-shattering cheers under the mountain, Yan Ba raised his eyes and said to Gongsun Bai with excitement on his face: "It's General Taishi, Pang Junshi and General Gao."
Ahead, tens of thousands of Gongsun troops are standing solemnly, when Gongsun Bailema stopped fifty steps in front of the army, facing Tai Shi Ci, Pang Tong, Gao Shun and Tai Shi Ci and others who came side by side to greet each other, the cheers in the army rose to the sky again, tens of thousands of sword halberds were erected like a forest, piercing the sky, countless voices shouted, the sound shook the sky.
"Wei Gong" "Wei Gong" "Wei Gong" At this moment, Gongsun Bai burst into tears, his excitement was uncontrollable, he grabbed the hands of the generals, and was speechless.
His grandson Bai not only has a military armor system against the sky, but also countless soldiers who will never abandon and live and die together to follow, which is very fortunate After a long time, he slowly led his horse to the front of the army, greeted tens of thousands of soldiers, respectfully, and bowed deeply.
Not far away, the newly returned Zang Ba saw this scene, and was not moved, as Taishan Kou, he did not have the consciousness of swearing to follow any lord to the death, whether it was Lu Bu or Cao Cao, he was just looking for a place to stay, in order to protect himself, which he was similar to Jia Xu.
In his career as a horseman, only Gao Shun impressed him, and there was no one else.

However, at this moment, it was the first time he had seen a master who was so supported and loved by ordinary soldiers, and he couldn't help but believe what Gao Shun said.
"Those who settle the world must be Wei Gong" Just as he was thinking about it, he saw that Gongsun Bai had already strode towards him, with a sincere smile on his face, and his heart moved again, and he hurriedly greeted him.
In the southeast of Puyang City, 100,000 Cao troops hurriedly marched, and retreated until they were forty miles away from Puyang City, when the sky was about to get dark, they slowly stopped, camped on the bank of the river in the lower reaches of Pushui, and buried pots to make rice.
Above the camp, the smoke curled up, and the distraught Cao Cao led the Jueying BMW to the river to drink water, looking at the river alone.
"It's a failure," Cao Cao's heart was still full of unwillingness.
Just a few days away, it was enough to put Gongsun Bai to death, and in the end the accident happened, he could only watch the boiled duck fly, and for Cao Cao, this battle was not just a boiled duck for him, but the decisive battle between him and Gongsun Bai.
Victory, except for the biggest opponent in life, will dominate the world without disadvantage; If you lose, you will lose the opportunity to compete in the world, and then you can only retreat and perish, and there is no other way "Newspaper" A scout Pegasus came, panting and running towards Cao Cao "Gongsun Bai has joined the thief army Taishi Ci Department, Pang Tong and Gao Shun Department, and retreated into Puyang City."
For Cao Cao, everything was expected, Gongsun Bai's army had just gathered, and he would inevitably enter Puyang City first to rest, and then he would be pursued, but at that time his army had already retreated into Lihu City.
However, Cao Cao suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and asked: "How many people are there in the thief army?"
The scout was obviously not in charge of patrolling the south before, and immediately said without thinking: "The thief army entered through the north and west gates, but in just one hour, all of them entered the city, and there were only about 40,000 men. ” "What" Cao Cao jumped up suddenly and hissed, "Is this true?"
The scout saw that Cao Cao's face was flushed, his expression was afraid, and he trembled and said: "The small sentences are true, and there is no lie."
Cao Cao's eyes were about to split, and his hair was full of hair, so he immediately called the scout who inquired in the morning and forced him to ask.
When Cao Cao asked what happened, he felt that the world was spinning in his mind, he was unsteady on his feet, and he fell backwards.
Cao Cao's intelligence is 95, and Xingyang is still in danger and pursued, and was almost killed by Xu Rong; Puyang listened to the rich family to dedicate the city, not that Lu Bu was blind and had already died; entered Wancheng alone, lost his son, nephew, Dian Wei and Jueying, and almost died; The Battle of Chibi was completely defeated because of Cao Cao's stubbornness, and the protagonist was only in his early thirties in his previous life, and it was normal to breed pride, but since everyone didn't like it, I won't write this kind of disturbing plot in the future, sorry.
