"Uh!" Li Li didn't expect Huan Fei to do what he said, to be so active and fast, but it was wrong for Huan Fei to shout.

"Shut up, Feihu! Cao Cao is now wearing the armor of an ordinary infantry, not the red robe, but he has a beard that is more than an inch long!"

"Uh, that's it!" Huan Fei was stunned when he heard the sound, and immediately changed his words: "Listen, my lord, the lord has orders. The one with the long beard under his chin is Cao Cao. Go after Cao thief with all his strength..."

Chapter 670 Make Me Happy and Make You Worry

"Listen, my lord, my lord has orders. The one with the long beard under his chin is Cao Cao. Go after Cao thief with all your might!"

Hearing Huan Fei stop drinking, Li Li shook his head helplessly, turned his head to look at Guo Jia who covered his ears, and couldn't help chuckling.

"Feihu shut up quickly, don't waste your energy. If Bandit Cao is nearby at this moment, and you shout out with your voice, he won't cut off his beard immediately, and he will hide and dare not show his head!"

"Uh!" After hearing Li Lizhi's words, Huan Fei was stunned: "This will not work, and that will not work. What do you think should be done now, my lord? Could it be possible to let Cao thief escape from under our noses?" ?”

Speaking of this, Huan Fei's face was full of anger, filled with righteous indignation: "Thinking of that thief Cao, he has repeatedly tried to kill the lord and then hurry up. The previous assassination in Fanbu Mansion has not yet been completed. Thirteen days ago, Cao thief sent mermaids to burn down the granary. , this time Cao thief is even more vicious and malicious, trying to sneak attack on Hangu Pass. It can be seen from this that Cao thief is wholeheartedly against our Xiliang army, and his heart is not dead. Brothers died at the hands of us one after another. Just now General Hu Che’er attacked and killed his eldest son Cao Ang in front of the battle, and the lord even captured Cao Hong, Cao Xiu and Cao Anmin’s uncle and nephew alive. Nearly half of the dead or alive birds fall into our hands, and the bridge is so big that it's either you die or I die, there is no other way."

"In view of this, the general thinks that the battle of Feiyundu is really a rare and good opportunity. If he can kill Cao thief in one fell swoop, he will be the lord and save our Xiliang army from a serious problem! Don't miss this opportunity, don't miss it!" Come again, my lord. The last general asks for an order to lead [-] war cavalry and [-] county soldiers to launch a full-scale search immediately, even if the whole radius of a hundred miles is turned upside down. Cao thief must be caught to prevent future troubles!"

Huan Fei's words really spoke to Li Li's heart, which was exactly what he thought.However, if the comprehensive and large-scale search and arrest is really as Huan Fei said, a mere 3 to [-] horses are far from enough, and at least more than [-] infantry will be used to search every grass within a hundred miles. Kazuki.

This would be too much work.After all, the Xiliang army and the allied princes and princes are separated by a river, and both sides are armed with horses and horses, staring at each other.Only after the Allied forces crossed the river, the war was about to break out.At that time, the two armies will confront each other with nearly a million troops. The Xiliang army has no way to retreat and vows to fight to the death.An unprecedented war is inevitable.imminent.

In contrast, after more than an hour of fierce fighting, so far, Cao Cao's 6 horses in Feiyundu have lost more than half, and it is expected that Cao's army will eventually escape from the north and south valleys. No more than 3 people.After some hunting and arrest at this time, it is estimated that Cao Jun who can finally escape to Hedong will not exceed 2 people, probably around [-] people.In other words, Cao Jun's ten pavilions lost eight pavilions.At most two pavilions escaped, that is, more than [-] people.

Since then.Yanzhou Cao Cao's strength will be cut in half.After nearly 12 Cao Jun went through this battle, nearly half of them were lost, their strength was greatly reduced, and their strength plummeted.

That being the case, even if Cao Cao managed to escape by chance tonight, there would be nothing to fear in the future.What's more, without Li Li personally taking action to destroy him, Lv Bu, who is occupying Yanzhou at the moment, is enough to destroy Cao Cao.At that time, there are only two ways out before Cao Cao, one is to fight Lv Bu to the death, and the other is to lead his troops to join Yuan Shao or rely on Yuan Shao; other than that, Cao Cao has the intention to send troops to Jingzhou or Yuzhou, I am afraid that he has more than enough energy Insufficient, lamenting in vain.

After weighing the pros and cons secretly, Li Li returned to his previous calmness, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and the gloominess between his brows disappeared, replaced by the magnanimity and confidence that only a strong man can have.

"Flying Tiger, don't worry. From my point of view, there is no need to search for a radius of hundreds of miles. It will take a lot of work and go to war. If you can catch Cao Cao, let it go. If you can't catch it, it will definitely affect the morale of the entire army and be disadvantageous in the battle. Now the big battle is imminent. Cao Cao's tens of thousands of horses have already lost more than half, even if they escaped by chance, it is not a concern. Moreover, Cao Cao's foundation in Yanzhou has been lost, and he only relies on a few small cities to survive. The money and food are exhausted, and there is no replenishment of soldiers. In the short term, Cao Cao Now that his vitality has been seriously injured, it is difficult to protect himself.

Therefore, it is not appropriate for us to go to war at the moment, so as not to lose sight of the other and leave an opportunity for the princes and allies to take advantage of.After all, the biggest enemy of our army right now is not Cao Cao, but the army of princes headed by Yuan Shao.How to defeat the allied armies of the vassals is our top priority. As long as we win this battle of Sili, our Xiliang army will be invincible in the ensuing vassal hegemony, and we will truly be the number one in the world. The supremacy of princes.

Therefore, I mean, we each lead a team of soldiers and horses to search separately, with the primary goal of capturing Cao Jun's descendants, and the second is to capture and kill Cao Cao.Within a day's limit, it would be gratifying if Cao Cao could be caught or beheaded, but if he could not be caught or no trace of him could be found at all, the whole army must return to Hangu Pass before dark today.This is a military order, you don't need to say too much, and lead the troops to attack quickly."

"Report!"

Just when Li Li ordered the generals to split up, a scout came galloping on horseback. Before he arrived, he heard the voice first: "Report to my lord, the two generals He Man and He Yi have captured Cao Cao!"

"Oh? I caught it, where is it?" Li Li was shocked when he heard the words, and he drove the golden beast king to the scout. Before he got off his horse, he grabbed his collar and asked anxiously, "Where is Cao Cao now? He Man and He Yi brought him to see me immediately!"

"Cough, cough, cough!" The scout who was picked up from the horse by Li Li with one hand, his cheeks flushed, his expression horrified, coughed violently.

"My lord, Rong Fen, Cao Cao is hiding under the official stone bridge not far away. The two generals He Man and He Yi have captured him just now, and they are rushing here now."

"Huh? Hahaha good, good, good, good!" Li Li laughed in astonishment, let go of the scouts, and said with a smile: "Tonight I have been busy looking for Cao Cao all night, but I have never seen a trace of Cao Cao. But I don't think He Yi and his brothers were very clever, and they captured Cao thief alive without any effort! So good, so good!"

"Uh!" The laughter stopped abruptly. Li Li opened his eyes wide and watched He Yi and He Man brothers escorting "Cao Cao" walking quickly, and his expression suddenly changed: "How could this be the red-robed General Cao? This is not Cao Cao!"

As soon as these words came out, Guo Jia, Li Zhi, Huan Fei, Xu Chu, Chen Dao and other generals were astonished, and the smiles on their faces quickly disappeared. Immediately, everyone rode to Li Li's side, staring straight at Li Li. With the red robe "Cao Cao" getting closer.

"My lord, the two last generals have caught Cao thief, please deal with it, my lord."

Before He Yi could finish speaking, Li Li immediately raised his hand to signal him not to say any more. The Golden Beast King stepped forward and appeared in front of the red-robed "Cao Cao" in an instant.

Taking off the red tasseled helmet of the red-robed "Cao Cao", Li Li sat on the back of the golden beast king, staring at the white-faced and beardless "Cao Cao" with eyes like knives.But seeing that the person in front of him was not very old, with an immature face and no hair on his mouth, he was Cao Cao who was over forty years old, he was clearly a young boy who had not yet reached the crown.

It turned out that it was just another happy moment, and Li Li suddenly had a murderous intention, and this thought immediately appeared in his mind: "Since you, a counterfeit, made me happy for nothing, then I will let your head fall to the ground, and blood splatter on the spot!"

"Listen to this general, I just want to ask you one thing, if you dare to hide half a word, or lie to this general, a certain one will make your head fall to the ground, your corpse will be broken into thousands of pieces, and you will be thrown into the wilderness!

Say who are you, where is Cao Cao now? "

Li Li's angry shout made the red-robed "Cao Cao" tremble with fright, his mud-stained jaw twitched violently, his face was pale, and his teeth were trembling.

"Don't kill me, I implore the general not to kill me! I said, I will say everything and never dare to hide a word. Please be merciful, the general, please spare me!"

"Stop talking nonsense, and answer the general's question! If you dare to repeat a few words, you don't need to say anything, just suffer death!"

"Yes, yes, yes, sin will not dare! The name of sin is Cao Zhen, he is the adoptive father,,, oh no, sin is the adopted son of Cao Cao. This is the first time that sin will follow Cao Cao, Marching overnight, they rushed to the Feiyundu Valley to lurk. Originally, they planned to wait until dawn, and then a small group of soldiers would disguise themselves as ordinary people and sneak into Hangu Pass, and then cooperate with the inside and outside to attack Hangu Pass. Unexpectedly, the general is as wise as a god descending from the earth. Shenwu, I was discovered by the generals as soon as I was lurking, and then the battle for the plank road just now, these generals all know. As for the righteous father,,, oh no, where is Cao Cao now, the crime will be unknown."

"Hoo!" Just when Cao Zhen said the words "I really don't know", Li Li's face was as cold as ice, his sword eyebrows were raised horizontally, his eyes were furious, and the golden sword in his palm was instantly raised high, making a sharp whistling sound.

"General, wait a moment, the criminal will report his feelings!"

When the cold light of the knife cut off the messy hair on the sideburns and was about to fall on the neck, Cao Zhen was so frightened that he knelt down on his knees with a "plop", and said anxiously with his tongue trembling: "When he broke through the valley, Cao Cao hid Among the second batch of Cao soldiers who rushed to the official road, the one who stood at the entrance of the valley and encouraged the soldiers to charge bravely was Cao Cao, and the people who guarded him were his four personal guards!"

The murderous blade was only half an inch away from the outside of Cao Zhen's left neck, and a stray strand of hair was blown onto the blade by the cold wind, floating to the ground.

"What the criminal general said is true, please believe me, the general!

That Cao Cao has always been suspicious and fickle, he denied his relatives, and was extremely cunning.As early as when Cao Ang was killed, Cao Cao took off his battle robe and armor, and then let the guilty general put them on, and ordered the whole army to rush out of the valley in front of the plank road formation for him.

Unexpectedly, it happened that the general was going into battle in person, so the sinful general had no choice but to bravely charge forward, but in reality he was just putting on a show.At the moment when the general led his army to kill, the sinful general knew the might of the general and dared not fight, so he had to turn around and retreat to the valley, where he met Cao Cao again on the way. "

"At the moment when the general led his army to kill, the criminal general knew the might of the general, so he didn't dare to fight, so he had to turn around and retreat to the valley. On the way, he met Cao Cao. Afterwards, the general entered the valley alone, and Cao Cao urged the criminal general to lead the crowd to surround him. Kill the general, and he sneaked into the plank road again with four of his own soldiers, and then took advantage of the general's generals who were eager to ask the general for help, he personally led the army and rushed out of the valley in one go."

After Cao Zhen finished speaking, Li Li stared at him sullenly, as if he was considering whether to kill him with a single blow.

"My lord, what Cao Zhen said should be right, please spare his life for the time being. Besides, this kind of people are not worthy of the lord's personal attack, let alone dying under the golden sword!"

Seeing that his lord still wanted to kill Cao Zhen, Guo Jia looked indifferently at Cao Zhen, who was trembling with fright and submissive, with contempt and disdain in his eyes.

"The person Cao Zhen mentioned was standing at the entrance of the valley and motivating Cao's army to charge bravely. I had noticed it before. But I didn't know that he was Cao Cao at the time. It was right that he was a veteran with rich combat experience, so he didn't Take it to heart. Now that Cao Zhen said so, I never thought that that person was actually Cao Cao.

If everything is as Cao Zhen said, and the middle-aged veteran is really Cao Cao, then he is not hiding among the second batch of Cao troops rushing out of the valley, but the first batch.It's just that Thief Cao was treacherous and fickle. When he broke through Taniguchi, he didn't immediately rush to the official road to fight, but stayed at Taniguchi to wait for the soldiers behind.When the second batch of Cao Jun rushed out to fight our army.He always hid behind, and after the soldiers in front tore apart our army's defensive battle formation, he immediately rushed out of the encirclement under the cover of his own soldiers.Flee to the south official road. "

After a short pause, Guo Jia's face was full of regret: "This scene was witnessed by my own eyes. At that time, I also doubted the identity of the middle-aged veteran, but he was blinded by the armor of ordinary infantry. In addition, the battle situation was stalemate. The fighting was fierce, with tens of thousands of soldiers from the enemy and our armies fighting together. I really didn't care about a veteran over [-] years old. I never thought that he was Cao Cao! Looking back now, I regret it. Let Cao Cao escape from my eyes, but I don't know it.

Alas, no wonder Xu Shao once said: Cao Mengde is a capable minister who governs the world and a traitor in troubled times. Now it seems.This statement is true! "

"Feng Xiao doesn't have to blame himself so much. Didn't even I, Li Li, be deceived by Cao Cao? Before that, I must have met Cao Cao, and even passed him by, but because I didn't know him, so that Let him slip away from me."

After softly comforting Guo Jia, Li Li put away the saber on Cao Zhen's neck, and looked at him very unkindly: "Come here, take this thief into custody temporarily. We will deal with it later. Remember, all captured generals of the Cao army must They are held incommunicado. No one is allowed to speak a word to them, and those who disobey the order will be executed!"

"No!" Brothers He Man and He Yi immediately handed over Cao Zhen to the soldiers, and then pleaded guilty to Li Li, claiming that the two brothers did not investigate for a while and mistook Cao Zhen for Cao Cao. Suspected of leading the army, he is willing to be punished.

Li Li shook his head lightly indifferently, and waved his hands to signal that they don't need to care, and he would naturally punish them for it.

"According to the previous arrangement, the generals will lead their troops to search and arrest separately, I hope everything is still in time!"

"No, I will obey!"
