Cao Ren is worthy of being a famous general of Wei defense, 20,000 Wei troops are in Shitang Town, even if Zhuge Liang personally commands the attack with arrows, he will not be able to break through the Cao army's position for a while.
"The ravines are staggered, the arrow towers are covered, the antlers are numerous, and the traps are hidden, this Cao Ren has almost used the terrain to the extreme" Zhuge Liang stationed on the high slope, while observing the formation of the Cao army while looking for a way to break the enemy, seeing that the Cao army was attacking and defending in an orderly manner, he couldn't help but praise Cao Ren a few words.
Suddenly, a fire broke out in the Cao army's position, and the Cao army took the opportunity to retreat and march north.
This made Zhuge Liang and Long He quite surprised, and they couldn't guess why Cao Ren left undefeated for a while The trees in Shitang Town were prepared by Cao Ren in advance, and after they burned, the road was completely blocked, and the Han army could not pass, and the fire gradually extinguished after waiting for half an hour, and Cao Ren had already gone far away.
Zhuge Liang couldn't chase Cao Ren, and waved his troops towards Hefei.
After walking two or three miles, a group of people came from the north, but it was Jiang Wei who led his troops to meet Zhuge Liang.
Suddenly the horse came to Zhuge Liang, turned over and dismounted to report: "General Qizuo, the news that Cao Cao was killed by an arrow suddenly spread in the Cao army's array, so the Cao soldiers retreated in panic, and General Lu Junyi and Ma Dai led 15,000 men and horses out of the city to chase north."
"Although Cao Cao is a traitor, he is also the king of a country, how can he die so easily, there must be fraud in this, Liangdang sent someone to quickly chase Lu Junyi back" Zhuge Liang's face changed suddenly when he heard this, and he shook his head again and again.
Jiang Wei said helplessly: "The last general also felt that there was fraud in this, and although he tried his best to persuade him, he failed to prevent General Lu Junyi from leaving the city.
He said that he saw Cao Cao being shot by Xue Zhenbei on the city wall, and saw Cao's army retreating in panic, so he was convinced of Cao Cao's death, so he led his troops out of the city to pursue him. ” "Someone, catch up with Lu Junyi with my fake festival and fast horse, and order him to quickly retreat and fatten, and make a decision after I meet with General Xue."
Zhuge Liang immediately made a decision, sent his own soldiers to chase Lu Junyi north, and at the same time sent someone to contact Xue Rengui to ask him if the news of his arrow shooting Cao Cao was true After sending several messengers in a row, Zhuge Liang summoned Long He to the front and commanded: "Cao thief is treacherous, and suddenly there is news that he was killed by an arrow, and there is a chance that there is a deception.
You led 10,000 cavalry to the north to meet Lu Junyi and Ma Dai. ” "The Last Will Do Duty" The dragon agreed, turned over on his horse, flew under his crotch and scratched his head Lion Snow, carried a tiger tooth and slashed the star, and led 10,000 cavalry to go first.
Zhuge Liang, Jiang Wei, and Chen Zhi led the army to follow and rushed to the city of Hefei at the fastest speed.
An hour later, Zhuge Liang's army arrived outside the city of Hefei, and the soldiers and civilians in the city had removed all the stones blocking the city gate, and opened the city gate to welcome the arrival of the army.
Zhuge Liang had just finished greeting with Zhu Sheng and Hua Xin, and Xue Rengui and Wei Chigong also led the reinforcements from the East Road to arrive at the city, and the three armies met, with a total strength of more than 100,000 people, which was enough to compete head-on with the Wei army, so the morale of the Han army rose sharply, and their faces were filled with joyful smiles.
After the salute was completed, Zhuge Liang asked Xue Rengui straight to the point: "I heard that Lu Junyi led his troops to pursue Cao Cao, and the reason why General Lu concluded that Cao Cao would definitely die was because he saw General Xue shoot Cao Cao, so it led to Cao Cao's death, I don't know if this matter is true."
Shooting the emperor of the enemy country with his own hands is a great achievement, although Xue Rengui can't conclude that he killed Cao Cao, but he did shoot Cao Cao.
In case Cao Cao was really shot to death by himself, how would he get it back in the future if he denied this great work now, so he simply didn't deny it.
"Well, I did shoot Cao Cao at the foot of the west city wall of Hefei, but unfortunately I couldn't cut off his head" Xue Rengui agreed, although he said it a little vaguely, but he didn't deny it.
Zhuge Liang didn't fully believe in Xue Rengui's words, although Xue Rengui shot Cao Cao, but he didn't necessarily kill with an arrow, but because of Xue Rengui's qualifications, it was not easy to argue, and he proposed at the moment: "Even if Cao Cao was killed by an arrow, but Cao Jun still has more than 100,000 people.
Please General Xue quickly send someone to chase Lu Junyi back, and we will fight steadily and regain the lost ground."
Xue Rengui put forward a different suggestion: "The soldiers are fast, and the enemy retreats and I advance, this is the way to use soldiers."
Regardless of whether Cao Cao's death is true or not, at this moment, the enemy and our forces are equal, we don't have to stay, follow Lu Junyi to pursue north, catch up with Cao's army and fight a decisive battle in the wilderness, and finish our work in one battle."
Zhuge Liang shook his head and said: "Although the enemy and our forces are equal, if the Cao army used a deceitful strategy, it must have been ambushed on the road long ago.
What's more, Cao Ren led his troops to the northwest, Cao Wenzhao led his troops to the northeast, and the Wei army retreated in three ways.
Therefore, it is not advisable to underestimate the enemy's rash advance, but to take the lead in a steady manner and proceed step by step. ” Unexpectedly, as soon as the army met, the two main generals had a disagreement, which made Wei Chigong, Zhu Sheng and others very embarrassed.
According to the rank of general, when the Son of Heaven was in Chengdu, he specially indicated that Zhuge Liang's identity as General Zuo was located above the four towns, that is to say, in terms of position, Zhuge Liang's status was higher than Xue Rengui.
But in terms of qualifications, Xue Rengui was the earliest minister of the dragon, three arrows shook Luoyang, shocked the world, and then abused Lu Bu several times to lose face.
And I am brave and good at fighting, I am the bravest member of the high-level generals of the Han Empire, and I am the brother-in-law of the Son of Heaven, and my sister is the beauty of the Son of Heaven, so everyone subconsciously respects Xue Rengui more.
Perhaps the combination of these reasons also made Xue Rengui unhappy with Zhuge Liang, a young scholar in his early twenties, how could He De be above himself Although he did not say it directly in his words, he seemed to be dissatisfied with Zhuge Liang's words.
"I think it's good."
Xue Rengui is a person who practices martial arts, unlike Zhuge Liang, who has so much patience and etiquette, and directly expressed his attitude at the moment: "General Kong Ming, you are in charge of your men and horses, and my team is commanded by me."
If you want to fight steadily, then you will stay and guard Hefei, and I will lead my troops to the north to chase the Wei army."
Zhuge Liang arched his hand and said: "General Rengui, you are a minister of the dragon, you are highly respected, how dare Liang dare to take the lead and be willing to hand over the three armies to the command of General Zhenbei, but Liang secretly thought that the Cao army's hasty retreat was mostly deceitful, and the enemy must not be taken lightly."
Xue Rengui didn't want to talk to Zhuge Liang anymore, turned over his horse, and said to Wei Chigong: "General Jingde, after the men and horses under my command were taken away by Lu Junyi for 15,000, there are less than 20,000 people left, and I want to borrow your soldiers and horses for use, I don't know if you have any opinions."
"Hehe, Xue Zhenbei looked at what you said" Wei Chi Gong scratched his head and laughed, and glanced at Chen Gong and Yao Guangxiao, "Since General Xue has decided to pursue, I will accompany you."
The situation was a bit complicated, and the two main generals quarreled again, but Yao Guangxiao and Chen Gong couldn't make up their minds for a while.
Chen Gong believed that the whole army should be pursued, no matter whether Cao Cao's death was true or not, the strength of the Han army was now not weaker than Cao's army, and it was completely possible to fight a big battle in the wilderness, and if it could win, it could drive straight into the Central Plains.
However, Yao Guangxiao supported Zhuge Liang's opinion, believing that he should fight steadily and steadily, and not risk using troops.
After all, these hundreds of thousands of horses are the main force to defend Jinling, if he loses the battle, Cao Cao can drive straight in, and the troops will be at the mouth of the Xukou and go straight to Jinling.
Xue Rengui was already impatient, the green dragon halberd in his hand pointed to the north, and shouted: "Use troops on the battlefield, the fighter plane is fleeting, it seems that you are waiting to look forward and backward, noisy and shouting, how can you seize the opportunity to win Lu Junyi has already led the troops to chase after him, how can Xue Li, as the main general, sit idly by and ignore even if Cao is a thief and cheats, but the general is also a horse for half his life, how can he easily fall into his ambush, you literati stay and guard Hefei, I will raise troops to support Lu Junyi."
It is a matter of course to answer Lu Junyi, even if Xue Rengui doesn't say it, Zhuge Liang has already sent the dragon in advance and went north, and immediately bowed his hand to Xue Rengui and said: "General Xue, it is natural to answer General Lu, but Cao is a thief and treacherous, you must be careful with troops along the way, and do not take the enemy lightly."
"Driving" Xue Rengui waved his horse whip and led the troops to the north, "This general will fight the horse all his life, how can he not know how to beware of ambushes" At this moment, it was early in the morning, the morning sun was rising, Xue Rengui led the 15,000 men and horses guarding Hefei, plus nearly 40,000 horses led by Wei Chigong, and left Hefei all the way north to chase Lu Junyi.
Seeing Xue Rengui leading his troops to the north, Zhuge Liang summoned Jiang Wei and Chen Zhi's two generals to the front and ordered: "Cao Ren's command is all infantry, and the speed of coming and going is slow, so there is no need to be afraid.
However, the men and horses led by Cao Wenzhao and Jia Fu are mainly cavalry, coming and going like the wind, and perhaps after seeing Xue Zhenbei's army pursuing northward, they will kill back the horse gun.

The two of you immediately lead 30,000 troops and horses to the east, looking for dangerous places and setting up ambushes, and maybe you will gain something."
"Obey the orders of General Zuo" Jiang Wei and Chen Zhi agreed, and ordered 30,000 horses to find a place to set up an ambush in the northeast.
After the men and horses from all walks of life went separately, Zhuge Liang led the remaining nearly 30,000 horses into Hefei City to station, helping the people repair the city walls and houses, leaving Hefei City empty, and camouflaging the illusion of a large army chasing after him.
Maybe Cao Wenzhao and Jia Fu would make a misplaced judgment, lead their troops back, and come to attack Hefei, just luring them into Jiang Wei's ambush.
In order to speed up the pursuit of Cao Cao and respond to Lu Junyi as soon as possible, Xue Rengui only brought two generals, Wei Chigong and Guo Huai, as well as monks and Taoist soldiers led by Zhang Sanfeng, Huang Feihong and others.
But Yao Guangxiao, Chen Gong, Zhu Sheng and other strategists were left in Hefei City to defend the city with Zhuge Liang t1706231537:
