Dragon of the Three Kingdoms

Slowly, Li Yi's face became ugly, he turned to look at Xu Huang, and asked, "Did you see him show up after Cao Cao arrived here?"

Seeing that Li Yi's expression was not right, Xu Huang's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly replied: "My subordinates saw Cao Cao ascend the high post, but he didn't show up again after that, only Xia Houyuan showed up."

Li Yi asked again: "Then how did you identify Cao Cao?"

Xu Huang already knew what Li Yi meant, and he couldn't help sweating a little on his forehead, and said truthfully: "Before Zhang Xiu chased and killed Cao Cao, killed Cao Cao's soldiers and horses, and let the captives identify the appearance of Cao Cao's robes in the rebellious army. Seeing Xia Houyuan and other generals escorting him, I chased him all the way here."

At the end, Xu Huang asked in a low voice: "Master, is there something wrong with this?"

Li Yi sighed and said, "Immediately notify all the soldiers and horses to continue chasing Cao Cao. Cao Cao must not be here."

Xu Huang was startled, and hurriedly signaled to the messenger behind him, and then hurriedly asked, "My lord, why is this?"

Li Yi pointed at Gao Gang in front of him helplessly, and said, "The trapped beast is still fighting, let alone Cao Cao?"

Xu Huang was speechless for a moment.

"General Xiahou, I already know that Cao Cao is not here. If you come down quickly and accept the surrender, I can save your life. If you continue to be obsessed with obsession, Li Yi will not care about Xuzhou's friendship."

Li Yi shouted again, but compared to the last time he teased, this time he was a little angry.

Above Gao Gang, Xia Houyuan was hiding behind a rock, quietly looking at Li Yi, when he suddenly heard Li Yi's words, he couldn't help showing surprise.

Because Li Yi guessed right, there were nearly a hundred Cao Cao's personal guards behind Xia Houyuan at this time, and there were several officers, but there was no Cao Cao himself.

But Xia Houyuan just couldn't figure it out. How could Li Yi just ask a few words, and he didn't even reply, so Li Yi immediately deduced that Cao Cao was not here, which was too inconceivable.

While Xia Houyuan was still thinking, Shi Huan from behind said: "General, Li Yi must be cheating. I just need to stick to it and buy time for my lord."

Xia Houyuan turned his head to look at Shi Huan, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Gong Liu, this time it's really hard for you."

Shi Huan smiled casually, and said indifferently: "My lord, Yu has the kindness to know you, so what are these small things for?"

It turned out that after Cao Cao began to retreat, he saw Zhang Xiu's cavalry blocking the way behind him, and knew that it would be difficult to survive if he rushed forward, so he asked Shi Huan, the commander in chief and personal guard, to change into Cao Cao's robe before the battle began, and Shi Huan After getting along with Cao Cao for a long time, changing clothes, and imitating deliberately, it is indeed somewhat similar to Cao Cao. Coupled with the chaos on the battlefield, it is difficult for outsiders to distinguish the authenticity from the fake.

Therefore, as soon as the soldiers and horses of the two sides came into contact, Zhang Xiu began to chase after "Cao Cao". After defeating "Cao Cao" several times, Cao Cao himself fled among the defeated soldiers. Unable to fight anymore, he chose this Gao Gang to stick to it, thinking that he could fight for one more moment for Cao Cao.

However, Li Yi's sudden point made them extremely uneasy. Even though Yuan Huan said that Li Yi was cheating, he didn't know exactly what it was.

After Li Yi shouted, seeing that there was no response from above, he ordered Xu Huang: "Fire the rockets and burn this place!"

Xia Houyuan is considered to be half of Li Yi's old father-in-law, so Li Yi deliberately confessed during the military discussion not to hurt Xia Houyuan's life. This is one of the reasons why Xu Huang didn't attack directly before, otherwise he really thought Xu Huang's subordinates Thousands of people can't do anything with such a small bag?

Li Yi is not a dead-headed person, of course he would not hurt Xia Houyuan on purpose, but if Xia Houyuan wants to make things difficult for him, then don't blame him for being rude.

Soon, Xu Huang dispatched more than 300 archers to cooperate with Li Yi's personal guard camp. Everyone prepared kerosene arrows and was about to set fire to Gao Gang. Seeing this scene, Xia Houyuan above suddenly became restless. The soldiers behind were even more panicked.

In Xia Houyuan's view, Li Yi will certainly not hold back Cao Cao during the battle, but after gaining the absolute advantage, there is still a high probability that he will stay alive, so that he can delay time, but he didn't want Li Yi to be like this Decisive, directly ordered to set fire.

Xia Houyuan was considering whether to come forward and procrastinate for a while, so he heard "let go" from below, and then hundreds of arrows with flaming arrows whizzed down towards their location.

"Be careful, everyone hide!"

Xia Houyuan yelled, and pulled Yuan Huan to hide under the boulder. This place could block the arrows from the front, but the ordinary soldiers behind him were not in such a good condition. Almost instantly, the screams filled the city, Xia Houyuan Looking back, even though he had been leading the army for a long time, he also showed a look of unbearable expression, because the arrows Li Yi shot were all lacquered with kerosene, and those soldiers who were directly killed by the arrows were nothing more than a death. , but those who didn't hurt their vitals, but were ignited by arrows, were the worst, because they couldn't even roll to put out the fire because of the arrows on their bodies.

Hearing the wailing and screaming of his own soldiers, Yuan Huan went to help a soldier put out the fire without even thinking about it, but just as he stepped out, Xia Houyuan pulled him back and shouted, "Be careful!"

As soon as Xia Houyuan finished speaking, there was another rain of arrows coming from the opposite side. Xia Houyuan glanced around and saw that no less than 30 people were hit by arrows. There shouldn't be so many, but because of the chaos caused by the rockets, most soldiers were unable to dodge.

Looking at the tragic situation in front of him, Xia Houyuan knew that Li Yi was really trying to kill, and if they persisted, they would only hurt the lives of soldiers in vain, so Xia Houyuan gritted his teeth, rushed out from behind the stone, and stood on the high hill , opened his hands and shouted: "Stop shooting arrows!"

At this time Xu Huang had already begun to direct the third round of Arrow Rain. When he saw Xia Houyuan appearing, he paused for a while, looked at Li Yi, and waited for Li Yi to speak.

Seeing that it was Xia Houyuan, not Cao Cao, who came out, Li Yi sighed and signaled to Xu Chu, who immediately shouted: "Listen, everyone above, put down your weapons, and line up to accept the surrender!"

Xia Houyuan looked at the soldiers and horses around him, and walked back sadly. After a while, Xia Houyuan, Shi Huan, and more than 60 soldiers supported each other and walked down from above.

Immediately, a team of Li Yi's personal guards rushed to Gaogang to check to see if there were any remnants. In addition, another team tied up all the captives except Xia Houyuan.

Seeing Xia Houyuan at another time, Li Yi said that he would not want to have a conversation with him, just be polite, but today Li Yi is not in the mood, he skipped Xia Houyuan, and saw the man in the red brocade robe at a glance, pointed at the horsewhip, Lengkeng asked, "Who are you?"

Although Shi Huan was tied up, he didn't have the slightest fear in the face of Li Yi, and said loudly, "Cao Gongzhong is leading the army, so is Yuan Huan!"

Li Yi shook his head slightly, and said, "I haven't heard of it."

Yuan Huan's expression froze, and he didn't know how to answer for a moment. Li Yi stepped forward, looked at Yuan Huan's slightly ill-fitting clothes and asked, "You pretended to be Cao Cao, lied to my general, and helped Cao Cao escape?"

Yuan Huan snorted coldly and said, "So what?"

Li Yi asked, "Aren't you afraid of death?"

Yuan Huan laughed loudly, spat on the ground, and cursed: "I only wish I could not serve my lord, and I only wish to die at the hands of villains!"

"Bold!"

Before Li Yi could express anything, Xu Chu became angry first, and stepped forward and hit Yuan Huan in the face in a circle. Yuan Huan's figure was crooked, he vomited blood, and fell to the ground for a long time without getting up.

Li Yi waved his hand, not to let Xu Chu continue to do anything, but said in his mouth: "In this case, I will grant your wish, come here, take him down, and find a prisoner to execute!"

"You, you scumbag!"

"You are rebellious today, and you will be punished by heaven in the future!"

"Li Yi"

Yuan Huan was furious immediately, struggling to rush towards Li Yi, but in the end he was entrusted directly by several guards.

Seeing this scene, Xia Houyuan felt pain in his heart, but he didn't ask for mercy, not because he didn't want to, but because he knew that it would be useless to ask for mercy.

In fact, Li Yi seldom kills prisoners, but today, Guan Yu died first, which made him feel bad, and now Cao Cao ran away again, which made Li Yi even more upset. Even if Yuan Huan didn't scold him, but look When Yuan Huan pretended to be Cao Cao, he also wanted to kill people.

As for whether he can catch up with Cao Cao in the future, although Li Yi has already arranged it, he really doesn't have much hope.

Seeing that Li Yi was a little unhappy, Kuai Yue stepped forward slowly, cupped his hands and said, "My lord, don't worry, the news just came from the right-wing battlefield that General Li Tong found Le Jin's body on the battlefield. In addition, Yu Jin's troops were defeated after being attacked by several groups of soldiers from our army, and Yu Jin fled, but unfortunately encountered Tai Shici's soldiers and horses, if everything goes well, most of them have been captured by now."

When Xiahouyuan heard this, his heart was ashamed. Today's battle was too tragic. They were either killed in battle or captured. What future is there to talk about?

Kuai Yue continued to say to Li Yi: "Cao Cao lost his troops and lost his generals in this battle. The number of soldiers under him were either killed or captured, and none of the rest survived. , but the limbs have been severed, so what can I do?"

"Furthermore, Cao Cao failed to delay the fight with the lord in Yanzhou, instead, he quickly lost the battle and affected the battle situation in Qingzhou. Although Yuan Shao appeased him on the surface, he must be dissatisfied in his heart. Therefore, Cao Cao will be more than embarrassing in the future!"

At the end of Kuai Yue's words, there was a bit of embarrassment that he didn't notice. Cao Cao is also a character, but because he was targeted by Li Yi for no reason, he was tossed like this, which is really a bit worse than death.

Li Yi didn't know Kuai Yue's emotion, but his brows were slowly relaxed.

Li Yi had thought about this problem before. Indeed, unless Cao Cao is a traverser, he must be a systematic one, otherwise it is impossible to turn the tables, and the threat no longer exists.

It's just that it was Cao Cao after all. With this name and the dragon energy on Cao Cao himself, it was absolutely massive, and Li Yi couldn't help but regret that he ran away like this.
