"ah!"

Cao Cao's words shocked the generals beside him, and they all looked surprised, and their eyes were filled with incredible expressions.

Then, Cao Hong said in a scathing voice: "If it is true as the lord said, how can the enemy troops on the cliffs on both sides explain? In less than half an hour, our army lost tens of thousands of soldiers, all of which were given by the ambush on the cliffs. Could it be that this was also the bluff of Li Zhe?"

"Hmph, this is Li Zhe who thinks he is a mastermind trick, but in my eyes there are many flaws!"

Cao Cao snorted coldly with a gloomy face, and looked up his murderous head through the gaps in the shield at the Xiliang soldiers on the cliffs on both sides. The sound of the sinister sound made people feel terrified and creepy.

"The Xiliang army on the cliffs on both sides pose the greatest threat to our army. If Li Zhe had sufficient soldiers and horses, just by firing the arrows at once, rolling stones and rolling wood, and sulphurs into the valley, we could all be buried in Feiyundu, without dead bodies, and corpses in the wilderness. But you didn't notice that there were not many enemies on the cliffs, only a few thousand people, and they rushed up the mountain, with limited arrows and sulphurs, and not even many stones.

Just now, they fired arrows at once and stones hit, and nearly a hundred fire pots fell. But now they seemed to have almost used up the arrows, and the stones that could be used on the top of the mountain were thrown out, and the tincture oil had already been used up. Therefore, they can only use the few arrows to accurately shoot, and no longer fired arrows at once. After the stones were used up, they threw sand and soil.

All of this indicates that the enemy on the cliff no longer poses a threat to our army, and their number has not increased, nor has there been arrow reinforcements. In other words, after discovering our whereabouts, Li Zhe did not have time to prepare, nor did he mobilize the Hangu Pass army to encircle and suppress us, relying solely on the little men he brought from Hedong to block our army's breakthrough."

Speaking of this, Cao Cao suddenly glared his eyes, slid past Cao Hong, Cao Xiu and other generals, and his voice turned: "The battle has come to this point. Li's intention to siege us has been completely exposed. He just wanted to use the few troops in his hands to trap us in the Feiyundu mountain stream, so that our army could not break through and fight for trapped beasts. At the same time, Li's thief would inevitably send a quick horse to Hangu Pass to mobilize a large army to support, and then annihilate us in one fell swoop. Therefore, time is very urgent now. No matter what, we must rush out of the valley before the Hangu Pass army arrives, and be sure to escape from Feiyundu before dawn, so that we can have a glimmer of life. Otherwise, we will die here tonight and die without a place to bury!"

"After my orders, the generals immediately reorganized the army. Tell the soldiers, don't panic, and don't be afraid. Li's major general is just a bluff at the moment. Whoever wants to survive, follow me, Cao Cao, and kill back to Hedong!"

"No, we obey our order!" the generals responded in unison.

Cao Cao waved his hand to signal the generals to reorganize the army immediately. Cao Hong did not leave immediately and approached Cao Cao: "Is it too dangerous for the lord to lead the army to fight in person? Should I let the last general lead the army to open the road?"

"Huh?" Cao Cao turned around when he heard this, stared at Cao Hong, and shook his head slightly, "No need. This time I went into battle myself, and if I didn't succeed, I would be able to succeed. Can I rush out of the valley? This is a move. Zi Lian should stop talking and quickly reorganize the army!"

"This promise, I will obey the order!" Cao Hong hesitated for a moment, respectfully accepted the order and then left quickly.

Outside the valley entrance, on the official road.

"Report! General Hu Cheer killed Cao Cao's eldest son Cao Ang during the chaos. The morale of the enemy was frustrated and is now retreating slowly!"

"Oh? Hu Cheer killed Cao Cao's eldest son Cao Ang?"

Li Li was stunned when he heard the sound. While pondering, he waved his hand to signal the personal soldiers to retreat, and then turned his head to look at Guo Jia beside him, and a knowing smile appeared on his face.

"Lord, from this point of view, the information found by the scouts before was very accurate. This Cao army who attempted to sneak attack Hangu Pass was indeed Cao Cao personally leading the army." Guo Jia looked at the Gukou Plank Road with a smile and said softly as if he was thinking.

Li Li nodded slightly, and with the huge body of the Golden Beast King, he focused on the battle situation in the plank road at the entrance of the valley.

"Why is the filial piety so sure that Cao Cao is determined to be in the valley? In fact, I had thought that Cao Cao was in the valley before, but after the temptation just now, I had some doubts about the authenticity of the information. Cao Cao was a prince of all the way. Could it be that he was so scared that he dared not show up when he saw me appearing? It shouldn't be?"

Guo Jia chuckled after hearing this: "The lord's words are not unreasonable, but I am sure that Cao Cao is in a valley hundreds of steps away from us. It is said that Cao Cao's eldest son Cao Ang is not yet as tall as the crown. Yun is civil and martial, with a handsome appearance, and is a mature young man, and has a father-like manner in his life. For this reason, I think that since Cao Ang is here, Cao Cao must be by his side.

As for whether Cao Cao dared not answer to his lord just now, it is understandable. After all, he is in a desperate situation and cannot protect himself. If he shows up and answers to his lord, he will inevitably reveal his appearance and be targeted by our soldiers. In this way, it is almost impossible for him to leave Feiyundu alive tonight. Even if someone escapes from Cao's soldiers, Cao Cao will definitely not be able to escape. Because at least half of the soldiers in our army are staring at him, no matter how he disguises himself, he will never escape the attention of thousands of pairs of eyes.

The lord had told the soldiers before that it would be okay to escape some Cao's army, but Cao Cao should not let him slip away tonight. For this reason, the lord also offered a reward of 10,000 households. With such a heavy reward, as long as Cao Cao dares to show his face, he will die tonight!"

"Hahaha!" Li Li laughed and nodded deeply: "What Fengxiao said is right. Our army has always valued military merits and has clear rewards and punishments. All the soldiers of the army regard making contributions on the battlefield as a lifelong pursuit, and even if they give their lives for it, they will do whatever they want. Besides, I, Li Li, do what I say, and say, will definitely fulfill my promises. Therefore, if Cao Cao really dares to show up just now, he will not fly out even if he has wings tonight. We will definitely capture our soldiers alive or kill them on the spot. But???”

After a brief tone, Li Li smiled indifferently. "But I heard that Cao Cao is suspicious by nature and acts cautiously. He usually carries a short dagger with him in his military camp or on his mansion bed, for fear that others will plot against him or assassinate him. Therefore, it is reasonable for Cao Cao to hide from him and not show up this time, which is in line with his usual style of conduct."

Guo Jia smiled and nodded: "I have heard of this. It is rumored that the reason why Cao Cao was so cautious and even suspicious was that he almost succeeded when he assassinated Dong Zhuo in the past. Since then, he has judged others by himself, carried a dagger with him, and was no exception when he was sleeping. He was always on guard against others, fearing that others would attack him in his sleep like he assassinated Dong Zhuo in the past. Hahaha!"

Li Li nodded slightly and chuckled, "Yes, ants are greedy for life, and people in the world cherish their lives. It is better to live without dying. However, it is rare for people like Cao Cao to be afraid of death, and they can be regarded as a strange flower. Therefore, I concluded that he would not dare to lead his army to rush out of the valley. In view of this, I want to intercept and kill himself. What do you think about Fengxiao?"

"My lord wants to go into battle in person?" Guo Jia was stunned when he heard the sound. Then his expression changed drastically and he waved his hands repeatedly: "No, no!"

"Why is this? Haven't Fengxiao seen me killing the enemy in person? During my previous trip, I fought all the way from Jizhou to Yangzhou. Although there were twists and turns, I was still in danger. This time, there were many soldiers in my Xiliang area to protect me, so I was safe and safe. Why did Fengxiao even strongly object?"

"Lord is such a bad word." Guo Jia shook his head gently, and explained helplessly: "At this moment, Cao's army is numerous, several times more powerful than our army. Moreover, they are fighting with trapped beasts. In order to seize the road of life, they will fight to the death and fight to the death without retreating. In such a dangerous and fierce battle, it is difficult to guarantee that someone will secretly shoot cold arrows or attack behind the scenes. Moreover, such unscrupulous Cao's soldiers must be quite large, which makes people unable to defend themselves. Just now, our army had a scattered infantry and arrows on the cliffs. Now that the arrows are exhausted, the soldiers on the tops of the mountains on both sides can no longer suppress the Cao army. As one goes up and the other goes down, it is now the most difficult and difficult period for our army tonight, which takes about half an hour. After this period, the Cao army will be destroyed. If it lasts less than half an hour, the situation will reverse, and the battle situation will be completely tilted towards the Cao army. Our army's situation is worrying.

The lord is the commander of our army. The future and destiny of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and millions of people is not enough to take risks in person? What should we do if there is any mistake? Therefore, the lord should not mention this kind of thing to kill the enemy in the future, and it is absolutely impossible. Our army has many generals, including many powerful generals with super strong combat power. Moreover, the soldiers are brave and good at fighting and are not afraid of death. Why should the lord personally go to the battlefield to kill the enemy?"

Li Li shook his head in disappointment, and his right hand holding the golden sword tightly had to relax, but he was still itchy and wanted to go on the battle himself and show his skills.

Indeed, since he returned from his journey, he completely lost the opportunity to go on the battlefield to kill the enemy. In the successive battles of the Northern Expedition of the Southern Xiongnu, he initially took charge of the central army, and then Zhou Yu led the army to the expedition, and he was basically far away from the battlefield. In this battle of Sili, he had the opportunity to go on the battle himself and planned to fight with the allied troops of the princes under the city of Anyi, but a fire in Anyi burned the granary, forcing him to defend the city, then evacuate Hedong and retreat to Hangu Pass.

At this moment, tens of thousands of Cao troops were in front of us, and the fierce fighting was in full swing in sight. Li Li's blood of war that had been suppressed for a long time finally burst out, and he was ready to move, and he was quite uncontrollably.

At this time, the Golden Beast King under the seat seemed to feel his master's belligerent heart. His four sharp claws were digging the ground from time to time, and they were also grinding their hands, eager to try and pace back and forth.
