Chapter 402
Seeing Liu Shi and Ping Han, they died one after another in Cao Qiuping's hands. The few surviving confidants dared not continue to fight. They quickly turned their horses and prepared to flee in panic, but were beaten by the Jizhou cavalry who were fighting with them, either guns or swords, and they screamed and fell off.
Seeing that Cao Qiuping was attacking him, all the bandits who had attacked him were eliminated, Xun You couldn't help but admire Cao Qiuping. He ordered a sergeant who came to his side: "The two people killed by Miss Cao look like leaders. Put their bodies away and let the bandits come to identify them after they are beaten." The sergeant agreed and took the two surviving subordinates to clean up the bodies of Liu Shi and Pinghan.
Xun You urged the horse to come to Cao Qiuping, bowed to her, and said with great admiration: "I really didn't expect that when Miss Cao said that when she was a skilled in archery and horse archery since she was a child, my military advisor thought you were just talking. I didn't expect that when I saw her, it really opened my military advisor's eyes."
Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Cao Qiuping sighed deeply and said sadly: "It's a pity that both fists cannot match four hands. No matter how good my martial arts are, I am still unable to turn things around in the face of the thousands of troops of the bandits."
After hearing what Cao Qiuping said, Xun You was also silent. On the way he came, he saw countless corpses, which shows how cruel the Yellow Turban thieves were, not only robbing money but also taking human life. He even thought to himself: "If these dead people could obey Cao Qiuping's persuasion and retreat to the county town in advance, the number of casualties would have been greatly reduced."
While Xun You was thinking, he suddenly heard someone calling him loudly. When he turned his head and saw a team of cavalry coming towards his position. The leader was Guan Hai, the coach of the Yellow Turban Qu who had just surrendered to Jizhou.
After Guan Hai brought people to him, Xun You asked curiously: "Guan Hai, why are you here?"
Guan Hai hurriedly clasped his fists and bowed to Xun You: "The last general will meet the military advisor! General Zhao heard that the military advisor came to Caojiazhuang with 500 troops. He was worried that you were in danger, so he personally led a 20,000 army to support him. He ordered the last general to lead a team of cavalry and report to the military advisor first so that the military advisor can rest assured."
Xun You couldn't help but be moved when he heard Guan Hai's words. He thought that his five hundred cavalry could defeat the 5,000 troops of the bandits. If there were 20,000 troops to help, it would be no problem to eliminate the Yellow Turbans. Thinking of this, he hurriedly asked: "Guan Hai, I wonder how far is General Zhao's army still?"
Guan Hai calculated the distance in his heart, and then replied: "It's about five or six miles away, and I will definitely arrive within an hour."
Just as Guan Hai was talking, the sergeant who was responsible for cleaning up came back. He was afraid of disturbing the conversation between Xun You and Guan Hai, so he did not dare to interrupt them, but stood quietly aside. Although he did not speak, Xun You still found his place and asked quickly: "Have you packed up?"
"Yes, we're all packed up." The sergeant quickly agreed, "We can let the Yellow Turban Thief come to recognize people as soon as the war is over."
"Military advisor, what are you talking about?" Guan Hai heard the conversation between Xun You and the sergeant commander and couldn't help asking curiously: "What happened?"
"Our army's five hundred cavalry defeated 5,000 bandit soldiers," Xun You said: "Who knew that the bandits were unwilling to fail, and they actually took a detour to attack our military advisor and killed several soldiers on our side..."
Although Guan Hai saw Xun You intact, he still couldn't help but say worriedly: "Military advisor, you are not injured, are you?"
"No." Xun You shook his head and said, "Fortunately, Miss Cao took action in time and killed two thieves, which saved the life of the military advisor."
When Guan Hai heard Xun You say the word "Thief General", he thought that the person killed by Cao Qiuping should be an important figure among the Yellow Turban Thiefs. He hurriedly asked, "I wonder where the corpses of the two are?"
Xun You quickly turned his head and ordered the sergeant: "The lieutenant will go and see the two corpses."
Guan Hai turned over and dismounted and followed the sergeant to the corpse of Liu Shi and his two men. When he squatted down and saw their faces clearly, he was shocked and quickly stood up and asked, "Military advisor, who was the two men killed?"
When Xun You saw Guan Hai's expression, he guessed that the two killed must be important figures of the Yellow Turban Thief. He first pointed at Cao Qiuping and said, "The two of them died under Miss Cao." After pausing for a moment, he asked tentatively: "Captain Guan, is it that these two people who are important figures?"
Guan Hai first looked at Cao Qiuping with a shocked look, and then said to Xun You: "The military advisor is right. These two are the second of the 36-ranking coach of the Yellow Turban Qu, and are much higher than Guan. Moreover, their martial arts are good. If it is one-on-one, Guan can only support thirty or fifty rounds under their hands."
Speaking of this, Guan Hai's eyes were on Cao Qiuping again, and he said in an incredible tone: "I really didn't expect that they would die under this Miss Cao's hands. It's incredible."
Xun You was shocked when he heard Guan Hai say this and thought to himself: In this way, this woman has excellent martial arts skills, and even Guan Hai is not his opponent. Fortunately, she is not our enemy, otherwise Guan Hai and I will have lost our lives today.
A cavalry came from the battlefield where the battle had just ended. He came to Xun You's horse and turned over and dismounted, knelt on one knee and reported: "Qijian advisor, the military marquis led his men to intercept several carriages on the east side of the village, and there were women who were kidnapped by bandits. He asked the young man to come and ask the military advisor for instructions, what should he do?"
When Cao Qiuping heard this, she was worried that several sisters she had liked were among them, so she quickly activated her mount and headed towards Zhuangzi. Seeing that Cao Qiuping didn't say a word, Xun You rushed towards Zhuangzi directly. Knowing that she must have checked the rescued women, she hurriedly ordered Guan Hai: "Person Guan, hurry up and follow Miss Cao." Guan Hai agreed, turned over and chased Cao Qiuping with his own team.
Just as he was about to catch up with Cao Qiuping, Guan Hai suddenly heard someone calling him loudly on the side of the road, and quickly stopped his war horse and looked in the direction where the sound came. He saw more than a dozen embarrassed Yellow Turban thieves dancing to him on the side of the road. Guan Hai quickly rode his horse over and asked at them, "Do you know someone?"
"Guan Qushuo," a yellow turban thief in his thirties walked out of the crowd, knelt in front of Guan Hai's horse, and begged: "Please ask Coach Qushuo to save his life."
Seeing that his companion had already knelt down and begged Guan Hai for mercy, the rest of the people could stand still, Hulala all knelt down, shouting: "Please help Guan Qu Shuai!"
Although the five hundred Jizhou cavalry were killed by the Yellow Turban thieves and fled in all directions, due to their limited military strength, it was impossible to capture all the Yellow Turban thieves. In order to prevent the Yellow Turban thieves from resurrecting, the military marquis led the team to lead people to kill them as soon as they saw someone gathering in some places. On the contrary, the scattered soldiers and raiders hiding in the corners of the road had no energy to care about them.
When a subordinate of Guan Hai saw so many former brothers kneeling in front of Guan Hai, he begged him for help, he approached Guan Hai and said, "Sir Qu, these are all their own brothers. You can't watch them die, just help them."
Guan Hai is also a loyal person. Seeing so many Yellow Turban thieves kneeling in front of him and begging for mercy. After pondering for a while, he asked to the Yellow Turban thief kneeling on the ground: "Are you willing to surrender?"
For the Yellow Turban thief kneeling on the ground, as long as he could save his life, not to mention just surrendering to Guan Hai, it would be fine even if he called his father. Therefore, they answered in unison: "I am willing to surrender to Guan Qu Shuai."
"Okay, since you are willing to surrender, then quickly remove the yellow turbans from your head to avoid misunderstandings." Guan Hai saw the yellow turban thieves obeying the orders and throwing them aside, and then ordered: "You are in groups of three or five to go here on the battlefield and shout here, and they say that Guan Hai Qu is here. Those who are willing to surrender will not be killed as long as they throw away their weapons."
The Yellow Turban thieves quickly agreed, and in groups of three or five people ran around the battlefield, shouting: "Ship Guan Qu has orders, as long as there are many people abandoning weapons! Ship Guan Qu has orders..."
The cavalry military marquis who were gathering up the team in the distance heard the chaotic shouts on the battlefield, and couldn't help but frown and said, "What's the sound?"
After hearing this, a dumb-eared Du-hunting man quickly reported: "Qi Zhuang Jun, the Yellow Turban thieves seemed to be shouting: Guan Qu has an order, and those who abandon their weapons will not be killed..."
"Guan Qu, what Guan Qu?" After hearing this, Junhou frowned and said, "Why did the Yellow Turban thief emerge from somewhere? I immediately ordered the whole team to wait for someone to rush to kill."
When Junhou heard that he would continue to charge, Du hurriedly persuaded him: "Junhou, wait."
"What's the matter?" Junhou asked dissatisfied.
"Our army repeatedly rushed to fight, and the people and horses were exhausted and were unable to continue fighting." Du said quickly: "Please ask Junhou Sansi."
Junhou knew that Du Bo was telling the truth. If the Yellow Turban thieves really came to the new force and attacked with his hundreds of exhausted soldiers, it would be tantamount to hitting stones with eggs. Therefore, he could only sigh and cancel the order to attack. At this moment, a cavalry rushed over like a whirlwind.
After stopping seven or eight steps away from him, the female rider immediately asked Junhou loudly: "Junhou, where are the women you rescued now?"
The Junhou recognized the person who asked him about it, Miss Cao, who was beside the military advisor, and quickly replied: "Walking west for two hundred steps, you can see five carriages, about twenty people, and I sent a cavalry to guard it."
"Thank you, Junhou." After Cao Qiuping thanked Junhou, she turned her head and was about to leave, but she was stopped by Junhou. Cao Qiuping asked quickly: "What else is there?"
Junhou asked carefully: "Does Miss Cao know that the Yellow Turban Thiefs have arrived again?"
"The Yellow Turban Thieves are coming to the new force?" Cao Qiuping showed a confused expression on her face when she heard this question: "I haven't heard of it. But your Captain Guan Hai brought a team of people and said that General Zhao was heading 20,000 troops and was coming here."
Seeing Liu Shi and Ping Han, they died one after another in Cao Qiuping's hands. The few surviving confidants dared not continue to fight. They quickly turned their horses and prepared to flee in panic, but were beaten by the Jizhou cavalry who were fighting with them, either guns or swords, and they screamed and fell off.
