Chapter 111
"My lord... my lord! I... I..." Dian Wei stuttered, not knowing how to explain it to Cao Cao. Cao Cao glanced at Zhang Han, who was lying on the ground dying, and after being stunned for a moment, he seemed to make a move.
After a huge ideological struggle, he turned to Dian Wei and said, "Let's leave here first!"
Dian Wei was shocked: "My lord, don't you care about Master Zhang Han?"
Cao Cao was already debating whether to leave or take Zhang Han with him. Now that Dian Wei asked him this question again, it further confused his plan!
Cao Cao thought about it and took a deep breath: "I can't save him! I'm doing this for his own good! Let's go first!"
Although Dian Wei's heart dropped when he saw his lord treating his savior like this, the situation was critical now and he really had no time to think about it, so he protected Cao Cao, rushed left and right, fought his way to the city gate!
But the flames were extremely strong at the city gate, firewood was being pushed down from the city tower, and fires were everywhere! Dian Wei turned around and looked behind him, and saw that a large number of pursuers were already rushing towards him! Dian Wei really had no choice, after all, he was with
Cao Cao had no horse to ride, so he had to use his halberd to push away the piles of flames. In the process, the flames burned Dian Wei countless times, but the man never shouted once, but resolutely opened a way out for Cao Cao.
!
How could Cao Cao not see this scene? A friend in need is a friend indeed! Cao Cao felt that he was lucky. In today's battle, he had planned to use all the traps. He hoped that he could use this to destroy Lu Bu's main force outside the city, but he didn't expect Lu Bu.
Chen Gong's encirclement and suppression plan next to him was so meticulous! He even used the method of setting fire to his own city. If Zhang Han and Dian Wei hadn't risked their lives to save him today, I'm afraid he would have died here!
Just as Cao Cao thought of this, Dian Wei beside him shouted: "My lord, go first! I will block the rear and rescue the troops!"
Cao Cao patted Dian Wei on the shoulder: "You must come back safely!"
How could Dian Wei not be moved when his lord could say such words in such a critical time?
At this moment, Dian Wei's eyes were full of tears, and he grabbed Cao Cao's hand: "My lord, the situation is critical. I will not be able to protect my lord from going out. He deserves death! My lord is injured, so be careful when you get out of the fire!" After that, Dian Wei
Wei pushed Cao Cao, then clenched his halberd and charged towards Lu Bu's troops behind him!
Cao Cao looked at Dian Wei's back. Although he was reluctant to leave, he would be betraying Dian Wei's loyalty by not leaving now! So he hurried towards the city gate! But at this moment, the upper beam of the city gate collapsed due to the fire.
The next fire beam is coming!
Cao Cao was injured in his leg and had difficulty moving, and the fire beam was so large that Cao Cao could not escape!
Facing the beams of fire falling from the sky, Cao Cao almost closed his eyes in despair, and then he heard a familiar roar next to him again!
Cao Cao opened his eyes and looked, and it turned out that Dian Wei was back to fight again! At this moment, he was holding his shoulders with his hands! Dian Wei's eyes were bloodshot, veins were exposed all over his body, and his arms, shoulders, neck, beard and hair were all burnt!
"Master, go quickly!" Dian Wei shouted with almost his last breath of strength!
"No! I, Cao Mengde, am definitely not someone who abandons soldiers on the battlefield!" Cao Cao roared, and then he touched the beam of fire with both hands!
Dian Wei's face was half angry. Seeing that his lord actually wanted to help him, he was angry and confused: "Lord? Let's go! Let's go! Leave me alone!"
How could Cao Cao listen? He dragged the fire beam hard with both hands, and then the two of them used their strength together to push the huge fire beam to the back!
At this moment, most of Dian Wei's body had been burned, and the severe pain was about to take away his consciousness! He almost subconsciously knelt at Cao Cao's feet, then leaned his head on Cao Cao's lap and said with difficulty: "My Lord...
...Quick...go!"
Cao Cao ignored him and turned around, trying to carry Dian Wei on his back, but Dian Wei was too big and Cao Cao couldn't do it! Seeing Lu Bu's pursuers approaching, he raised his machete high and struck down with a slash.
...
"Whoosh!"
The sound of a sharp arrow flying!
【Ah!】The soldier fell down at the sound!
Cao Cao turned around and saw that the soldier was hit by an arrow in the forehead, and blood was flowing out! Only then did he realize that Cao Hong had arrived!
Cao Hong sheathed his bow, galloped over on horseback, dismounted quickly, and hacked to death two more soldiers who were chasing after him. Then he pulled up Cao Cao and Dian Wei and said, "The end will come later! I was lying in ambush outside the city, but I saw fires all over the city."
, shouted to kill Zhentian, but the lord was not seen leaving the city. Military Advisor Guo urgently ordered us to search for him at various gates. Fortunately, we met the lord here!"
When Cao Cao saw that Cao Hong had arrived, he looked at the crowd of blue soldiers behind Cao Hong. Knowing that they were his troops, he smiled with great difficulty and fainted! Cao Hong was shocked and looked at Dian again.
Wei Jingran was already half a "scorched person" and unconscious, so he hurriedly rescued the two of them, handed them over to the soldiers behind him, and burst into flames!
Cao Hong led the reinforcements and pursuers to fight in melee until almost dawn. At this time, Xiahou Dun's ambush army no longer waited, and surrounded and killed Lu Bu's army, and finally drove Lu Bu's army back to the city.
...
Cao Cao returned to his camp and rested for a few days.
The generals paid their respects. Cao Cao had just woken up. He looked at the people in front of him and saw a big man wearing many bandages. He looked very funny!
Cao Cao looked up and smiled and said, "Is that General Dian Wei?"
As soon as Dian Wei heard that his lord was thinking about him, he quickly stepped forward and knelt down: "The last general failed to protect me, and my lord was seriously injured! The last general deserves death!"
Cao Cao was even more happy: "Who said I'm going to punish you?" Then he said to everyone: "That day, General Dian Wei fought against Huoliang alone in front of me. His power was unprecedented and unprecedented! There are people like General Dian.
With assistance, why worry about the world not being able to help you?"
Everyone smiled at Dian Wei. Of course, this smile was not to cater to Cao Cao, but because the story of Dian Wei's heroic battle that day had already spread among the army. Now all the soldiers regarded Dian Wei as the God of War and talked about it.
The only one competing with Lu Bu in front of the battle array is General Dian Wei!
Dianwei felt embarrassed, but the burn scars on his body were touched, and he roared with teeth and cracked his mouth, making everyone in the tent laugh heartily.
After laughing, Cao Cao straightened his expression, raised his head and said, "Fengxiao, what will be the outcome of the battle after I leave the city?"
This question inadvertently hurt one person - Xun Yu. After all, Xun Yu was the first counselor to follow Cao Cao, and he has always been loyal. Regarding later political affairs and pre-battle information, Cao Cao has always only asked Xun Yu! But now he has
After asking Guo Jia, Xun Yu naturally frowned. Of course he felt bitter in his heart and would not say anything!
Guo Jia was not an idiot, so he hurriedly replied: "Fengxiao only knows how to plan before the battle, but knows nothing about logistics and statistics. He specializes in skills. My lord is ashamed of me!"
Xun Yu was startled and thought to himself: This boy doesn't seem to be that simple. Even though he looks like a pretty boy, he knows a lot about human affairs!
Cao Cao naturally understood that winning the battle was important, but people's hearts were even more important! He couldn't ignore the thoughts of other beloved ministers just because he valued Guo Jia, so he patted his head and said: "Humph! Fengxiao, it's all because of your boy.
I almost lost my life due to a few bad tricks! I was thinking about how to get rid of you, but I actually talked about you!"
Xun Yu saw the double act between the master and the servant in front of him, and understood that Guo Jia was giving him face, while the lord was giving him steps. If he didn't know good and evil, he would be too ignorant! So he stood up and said: "In this battle, lord, indeed
Encountered danger! However, Lu Bu's pursuit of the army was defeated outside the city by General Xiahou and General Cao Hong! In total, our army lost nearly 3,000 troops, while Lu Bu suffered at least 20,000 casualties!"
When he heard the word "death", Cao Cao's smile immediately stopped and his brows furrowed - he thought of someone.
