Cao Cao was shocked and stunned, and couldn't believe that Ma Chao, the love general he relied on, would decisively choose to turn his back on himself at the most critical moment on the eve of this decisive battle.
In an instant, Cao Cao was dizzy as if he was struck by thunder, gasping for breath, and only came back to his senses after a while.
Cao Cao, who came to his senses after "walking", turned over and got on his horse, beat his horse and whipped straight to the north camp.
Moments later, he rode into camp and saw nothing but deeper disappointment.
When I looked up, I saw that the entire camp was empty, and there were only dozens of Xiahou Yuan's subordinates scattered around, counting the empty tents.
Cao Cao's brows deepened, and he stepped forward and slashed a tent to the ground.
Empty.
Knock down another withered tent.
Or empty.
He rode all the way through and knocked down seven or eight tents to the ground, but all of them were empty.
The cruel truth was in front of him, and Cao Cao couldn't accept it, and the Ma clan he relied on had indeed fled at night.
"Ma Chao dog thief, I treat you well, how dare you turn your back on me" Cao Cao roared angrily, slashing the long sword in his hand, smashing a tent in front of him.
The left and right were silent, watching Cao Cao lose his temper, and everyone shook their heads and sighed.
"Your Majesty."
A familiar voice suddenly came from behind him.
Cao Cao suddenly stopped, looked back, and saw that Pang De had already galloped over, turned over and dismounted and bowed in front of him.
A trace of surprise flashed in Cao Cao's eyes, pointed at Pang De, and shouted: "Pang De, why didn't you go with Ma Chao's dog thief?"
Pang De was originally an old general of the Ma family, as early as when Ma Teng was in the year, Pang De followed the Ma family, although he later followed the Ma family to Cao Cao, and the Ma family has since broken away from the subordinate relationship and became the general of the Qin State, but in the eyes of everyone, Pang De is still a close person with the Ma family.
Cao Cao thought that Ma Chao fled with Ma Dai, Ma Tie and other Ma clans, and Pang De, an old general of the Ma family, would definitely follow along, but he didn't expect that Pang De would appear in front of him, how could he not surprise him.
Facing Cao Cao's questioning, Pang De said with a straight face: "The minister is a minister of Great Qin, not a minister of the Ma family, and he should stay and be loyal to His Majesty." ” Hearing this, Cao Cao's angry expression was instantly relieved by five or six points, and the long sword that was in his hand was also subconsciously put down, and with a look of surprise, even surprise, he looked at the northwest general in front of him again.
After a while, Cao Cao asked again: "You have followed the Ma family for many years, and you will really abandon the Ma family for the sake of Daqin."
Pang De said generously: "Although the Ma family is kind to the minister, but it is just a private righteousness, Your Majesty's grace to me is the grace of the country, although the minister is a martial artist, but he also knows that loyalty to the country is the greatest duty of a courtier, and the minister should stay and go to the soup for His Majesty, and he will not hesitate." ” The words showed the meaning of loyalty, and completely moved Cao Cao, and the ministers such as Xiahou Yuan were also moved to nod their heads again and again, and they were amazed.
"I don't want Ling Ming to be so loyal, I'm very relieved, I'm very relieved, please get up."
Cao Cao's long sword was suddenly withdrawn, and he quickly jumped off the horse and helped Pang De up.
Originally, Cao Cao was very heartbroken about Ma Chao's departure, but Pang De's stay made him feel a little relieved, and his mood calmed down a lot.
"Your Majesty, the minister has already counted, and Ma Chao's dog thief has taken a total of 3,000 soldiers and horses this time."
Cao Zhen, who rushed to the city, gave his hand to report.
"Three Thousand Soldiers" Cao Cao pinched his fingers, secretly calculated for a moment, and his face rekindled arrogance, "Although the horse thief stole my 3,000 soldiers and horses, there are still more than 11,000 troops under my command, which is almost the same as the soldiers and horses of the pottery thief, and our army is waiting for work, the enemy army is tired and thirsty, and the advantage is still on our side, and my Great Qin will still win this battle."
"Great Qin will win" Pang De was the first to wave his fist and shouted generously.
"Great Qin will win" "Great Qin will win" The rest of Xiahou Yuan and other generals also raised their arms and shouted wildly, and their generous shouts echoed over the empty camp.
Seeing that the morale was slightly encouraged, Cao Cao raised the long sword in his hand and shouted: "Pass the order, the whole army will go out of the camp and line up at the Gobi Pass."
The order was handed down, Xiahou Yuan and other generals went separately, and after drinking and ordering the subordinates to have a full meal, they all left the camp and headed towards the edge of the Gobi in the east.
In the early afternoon, 10,000 Qin troops lined up and waited for the Wei army to appear.
On the Gobi Desert, more than 10,000 tired and thirsty Wei troops were already struggling to advance on the Gobi Desert.
Because they knew that the decisive battle was imminent, in order to store horsepower, the soldiers of the whole army had already dismounted and led the horses forward on foot.
Even the potters had to dismount and march the Gobi Desert.
The generals were panting and eating the wind and sand, but only Li Bai was sitting on his horse, walking leisurely, looking up from time to time and pouring a few sips of good wine, very chic.
"I said that little plum, we big guys all got off the horse and walked, even Your Majesty, why are you still riding a horse" Yu Chigong complained angrily.
Li Bai wiped the wine stains on the corner of his mouth and said with a smile: "Because I am neither a military general nor a soldier, and I won't need to go into battle to kill the enemy later, I naturally don't need to store horsepower. ” Wei Chigong was easily blocked back, his heart was unhappy, his eyes rolled, and he said again: "Xiao Lizi, didn't you shout when you first came to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, then don't just talk about not practicing, hurry up and get off the horse to raise the horsepower, and then follow me to charge into battle, I will ensure that you kill happily." ” "What you said seems to make sense, such a good opportunity to go into battle to kill the enemy, it seems a pity that I missed it" Li Bai muttered to himself, nodding his head again and again, vaguely seemed to be moved by him.
Seeing this, Wei Chigong secretly rejoiced as if he had lured him onto a thief ship.
When he was secretly having fun, Li Bai immediately shook his head like a rattle, "That's not good, although I want to go into battle to kill the enemy, but Your Majesty's order is to ask me to be a civil official, how can I go against Your Majesty's will, I will stay behind for a while, watch you fight in the sand, and cheer you up." ” Wei Chigong was depressed, glanced at him, and muttered: "What a cunning guy, you really know how to make excuses, and you don't dare to go against Your Majesty's will, I think you are a broken scholar, you can't even hold a knife, you can only brag."
"No, no, General Wei Chi, you don't understand me at all."
"I don't understand you, as soon as you kid kicks his ass, I know what kind of fart you're going to make."
"No, no, no" "It's not you, a big-headed ghost."
The potter walked in front, listening to the verbal battle between Wei Chigong and Li Bai, and couldn't help but shake his head and laugh secretly.

In front, a scout galloped over and shouted: "Your Majesty, five miles ahead is the exit of the Gobi, and more than 10,000 Qin troops are already lined up. ” This intelligence report immediately made the emotions of the soldiers on the left and right excited, and even Wei Chigong was shocked, and he forgot to quarrel with Li Bai for the time being.
"Cao Cao, it seems that you really want to wait for work and stage a Jedi counterattack at the Gobi Pass?"
The pottery merchant nodded slightly, a sneer rose at the corner of his mouth, and he shouted with his hands: "General the movements of the Qin army, and tell the big guys to prepare for a vicious battle." ” The order spread throughout the army, and the 10,000 soldiers were alert, knowing that the final battle to destroy Qin was coming soon.
This battle will directly lead to the general's battle to destroy Qin, whether it can end perfectly, and whether the Son of Heaven can cut the grass and eradicate the roots.
If they win, the hidden dangers in the northwest of the empire will be completely eradicated, and they can follow the Son of Heaven and go to Jizhou with all their strength to fight the Han to the death.
Defeated "No, it will not be defeated, following the invincible Emperor of Great Wei, it will never be defeated" The same thought burned in the hearts of every soldier.
Under the impetus of such faith, more than 10,000 soldiers continued to march forward with fatigued steps.
After more than an hour, the Gobi Desert finally came to an end, and I finally saw flat land and even an oasis in front of me.
The soldiers of the Qin army breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't wait to rush to the oasis, drink happily, take a bath, and bid farewell to this hateful Gobi.
But very little, the figure of the Wei army appeared in view, lined up above the field, blocking their way. 10,000 Qin troops, lined up into more than a dozen military formations of all sizes, towering like silent terracotta warriors and horses, looming in the yellow sand of the northwest, like hell ghost soldiers.
The battle flags with the word "Qin" are flying proudly in the wind, and the sword forest is as dense as a forest, reflecting the cold light of hunting, and the military spirit is terrifying.
The Qin soldiers, or Qiang, Liangzhou, or the Western Regions, all had ruddy faces and strong energy, obviously they had eaten and drunk enough, and their energy and physical strength had been sufficient.
"Cao Cao, finally don't run away, it seems that Cao Ang's head didn't crush you, that's good, I will crush you with my own hands today" The potter's eagle gradually ignited the murderous intent in his eyes, waved the war knife in his hand, and shouted: "Order, the whole army is in formation, ready to meet the enemy." ” The drums sounded, the flag waved, and more than 10,000 light cavalry turned over one after another, dragging their tired and thirsty bodies, forming a series of military seats, forming a confrontation with the Qin army.
Compared with the exuberance of the Qin army on the other side, the Wei army was much more tired, the banner was not as straight as the other party's, and the swords and guns were not as neatly arranged as the other party.
The strength of the army is already clear.
At the front, under the banner of the "Qin" emperor, Cao Cao was already smiling.
His smile was full of irony, full of fierce confidence in his ambition, and full of the thrill of revenge.
"As I expected, potter, I don't believe it, you still have the power to return to heaven this time" The killing intent in his eyes suddenly gathered, Cao Cao did not hesitate, he pulled out the Heavenly Sword in his hand angrily, pointed at the Wei army, and shouted: "The whole army will attack, kill all the Wei dogs for me, and restore Great Qin."
Woooooooo The sound of the horn of slaughter rose to the sky and pierced the yellow sand overhead.
Xiahou Yuan, Jiang Wei, Xu Chu, Cao Zhen, Cao Xiu and other members of General Qin slaughtered wildly.
More than 11,000 infantry cavalry regiments of the Qin army burst into formation, like a tide, surging towards the Wei army with the sound of earth-shattering killing.
Cao Cao was extremely confident, although the cavalry was less than nearly half of the Wei army, he still did not take the potters in his eyes, and took the lead in launching the attack at the first time.
Facing the surging wolf Qin army, the tired and thirsty Wei army soldiers all changed slightly, and in the palms of the hands holding the weapons, a handful of sweat broke out in a blink of an eye, and a pair of bloodshot eyes faintly revealed a bit of emptiness.
No matter how much faith they have in their faith, after all, their bodies are exhausted to the extreme, and they do not have full confidence that they can fight the enemy who is too easy to work for.
"His grandmother's, today's battle is definitely not easy to fight" Wei Chigong also frowned deeply, held the iron whip tightly, and held the belief of fighting to the death.
Only the potter, but his expression was calm, and in the face of the Qin army rushing in like a tide, he did not have a trace of jealousy, but just shouted: "Where is Li Bai." ” "The minister is here."
Li Bai didn't expect the Son of Heaven to call him at this time, so he hurriedly rode forward from the back row.
Tao Shangdao pointed ahead and said lightly: "Li Bai, have you seen it, the enemy army has already charged, and it depends on you whether you can win the battle today." ” "Rely on me" Li Bai was confused on the spot, and he didn't understand what Bai Zi meant by this.
It's hard to ask him, a wandering poet, to go out and meet the rolling Qin army single-handedly.
"What does Your Majesty want your ministers to do" Li Bai wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and asked with a stammer.
The potter glared at him, "Do you need to ask, what else do you do besides being able to make poems, show your skills, and give me a poem." ” "Poetry" Li Bai was completely stunned. isjgy:
