Chapter 373: Cao Cao’s Personal Soldiers, Their Lives Are Cheap!

"Fuck them all! I don't believe they are not exhausted!"

Cao Cao roared angrily that things had reached this point and he had to wait for Dian Wei to recover before he could attack Guan Yu and Zhao Yun in one go. He knew that the gap between his generals and Liu Bei's men was too big and could not be made up by numbers alone. difference.

"Kill them all, no matter the cost!"

Cao Cao seemed to be going crazy, completely losing his previous calmness. Think about it, your lifelong enemy suddenly became the king of eight states, and anyone else would be crazy.

Although the original Gu Rubing also controlled the eight states, it was not considered orthodox after all and was not recognized by the Han Dynasty. Therefore, Cao Cao always felt that there was still a chance. He just had to wait until he had repaired himself and then attack the difficulties one by one. It was different now. Gu Rubing was not only recognized by the Han Dynasty, but also legitimately took control of the Chuanguo Jade Seal, and used the Chuanguo Jade Seal as the royal seal, which had never happened before in the world.

"Where are the Tiger Leopard Cavalry and Tiger Guards! Bring them all here!"

Cao Cao saw that the stalemate was deadlocked for a long time, so he had to mobilize his troops again. The Tiger Leopard Cavalry and the Tiger Guard were both Cao Cao's personal soldiers, and similar to the Qinglong School Swordsman and the Yanyun Eighteen Cavalry, they all had the basic attributes of third-rate generals and enjoyed the same The special troops gained from the tribesmen, with a total of 6,000 men in both armies, are Cao Cao's confidence.

"You really spent a lot of money. I wonder how you would feel if all your Tiger Leopard Cavalry and Tiger Guards died here today?"

Gu Rubing pulled out the female sword from the heart of a general, and looked at Cao Cao with a bright smile. At this moment, Gu Rubing was covered in blood, and his originally pure white face was stained with blood-red blood. Coupled with Gu Rubing's impressive figure, The scary smile in his heart makes people shudder.

"Even if we fight everyone and let you die here, it's still worth it!"

"Oh? Really? Believe it or not, if this king dies today, someone will attack Xu Capital City in a big way tomorrow and let you be buried with him."

Gu Rubing wiped away the blood that overflowed from the corner of his mouth with his thumb, and said calmly that he had just fought three second-rate generals by himself, and finally killed two of them and suffered some minor injuries.

"Liu Bei, have you panicked and started using these low-end tricks? Hahahaha, this just shows that you have no backup plan. You will die today. I want to see what Xu Ducheng will do tomorrow. Damn it, how did I die!"

The Tiger Leopard Cavalry and the Tiger Guards were already in ambush outside the palace, waiting for orders at any time. As soon as Cao Cao received the order, six thousand people poured into the palace. At this time, the original imperial guards and imperial guards had basically been replaced. After they were all killed, six thousand third-rate generals who enjoyed the gains from their troops joined the battle. Even Guan Yu and Zhao Yun were retreating steadily. Taishi Ci had already put away the Zhuge Liannu, holding a double halberd, and killed beside Gu Rubing, and Zhang Fei Fei together to protect Gu Rubing.

Suddenly, a loud roar came from Guan Yu and the others. Dian Wei, who was originally weak, had regained his strength and joined the battle. Seeing the balance of victory tilting towards him little by little, Cao Cao couldn't help but reveal a trace of uncontrollable anger at the corner of his mouth. smile.

Suddenly, a total of fourteen first-class generals held back Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, and Tai Shici. Not to mention protecting Gu Rubing, the four of them were now like clay bodhisattvas crossing the river, unable to protect themselves.

The leader of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry was hiding in the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry. His eyes were fixed on Gu Rubing. He leaned down so that he was perfectly hidden in the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry. When Gu Rubing showed his flaw, The commander rushed out and charged towards Gu Rubing with a sinister smile on his face.

"Don't hurt my lord!"

A loud roar sounded from the palace gate, and a horseman actually came in directly from the palace gate. He then used the strength of the horse to jump up high, took out a spear head from his waist with his left hand and threw it, and the spear head flew into the air. He came out and hit the long spear directly, causing the spear that was originally aimed at Gu Rubing to deflect and fly past Gu Rubing's shoulder.

Using the momentum of the horse, the man bypassed a battlefield opened by Guan Yu and Zhao Yun, came to Gu Rubing's side, and then shot through the general who tried to sneak attack Gu Rubing.

"Lord, I'm late."

Zhang Liao held a gun in his right hand and stood in front of Gu Rubing, facing the tiger and leopard cavalry alone, with no fear on his face. Gu Rubing smiled slightly.

"It's not too late, it's just the right time."

Gray Shadow understood human nature well and understood Zhang Liao's thoughts. He jumped up from the crowd and came to Zhang Liao's side. Gu Rubing suddenly turned around and put Gu Rubing on the horse, then patted Gray Shadow's chest.

"Grey Shadow, you must protect the lord!"

After Zhang Liao finished speaking, he raised his gun and pointed it at the tiger and leopard cavalry. Looking at Zhang Liao who had broken into the encirclement, Cao Cao's heart suddenly thumped. An unknown premonition suddenly emerged from the bottom of his heart. Two hundred Younu captains and two thousand Yanyun eighteen The cavalry poured into the palace one after another, followed closely by the Qinglong School Swordsman and the Baijie Soldier. More than 8,000 people entered, making the already slightly crowded venue even more crowded. Even the main hall was full of people.

Gu Rubing, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao, and Tai Shici were in the innermost circle. Cao Cao's Tiger Leopard Cavalry and Tiger Guards, as well as fourteen first-rate military generals, surrounded them. There are more than 8,000 white soldiers, Qinglong school swordsmen and other special units, surrounding the center.

Seeing that the situation had stabilized, Zhang Liao took off the two black cloth-wrapped things hanging from the horse's belly. Zhang Liao raised them high so that Cao Cao, who was riding the horse, could see clearly what he was holding. Two bleeding heads.

Zhang Liao raised the two heads and threw them in front of Cao Cao. Cao Cao looked at the two heads that fell to the ground. The veins on his arms were bulging and his eyes were red. They were the two first-rate generals he sent to lead his troops to stop Liu Bei's soldiers. Guo Huai and Sun Li were both generals who followed Cao Cao from the beginning.

"Big-eared thief! I will fight you until death!"

Cao Cao roared sadly. There were a total of sixteen first-class generals under his command, but now only fourteen were left, and they were in a stalemate with Guan Yu and the others.

"Do you really think that with Zhang Liao and these eight thousand soldiers, you can get out of Xudu City? Let me tell you, I mobilized a hundred thousand troops yesterday and surrounded the entire Xudu City. Even if you fight all your troops Even if we kill Guan Yu and others, we will never be able to kill 100,000 people!"

"One hundred thousand people? Most of them must have been trained for a short time. It seems that you are really at the end of your rope, otherwise you wouldn't have recruited all these people to make up the number. You should know in your heart that as long as you kill a few thousand people, they It will be self-destructive.”

Gu Rubing ignored Cao Cao's threats and said nonchalantly. Cao Cao's expression changed. Gu Rubing was right. Half of the 100,000 people had just joined the army and had little fighting capacity, let alone anything. Discipline, once the army is defeated, it will fall like a mountain.

"Even if there are only 50,000 people, you will die today!"

Cao Cao gritted his teeth in hatred. Every first-class general was an indispensable force under his command. Now there were two less. If nothing else, the training of new recruits would be much slower.

"Why are you talking like this? You know you can't stop me today."

Gu Rubing continued to stimulate Cao Cao. Cao Cao was determined to kill Gu Rubing today, and Gu Rubing didn't think so. It depends on which of the two sides shows cowardice first and reveals the final trump card, then whoever loses will lose. will die.

Cao Cao held the sword at his waist tightly with his right hand and looked at Gu Rubing like this, his mind racing as he pondered whether he should spend all his money to kill Gu Rubing.

There are two things that Cao Cao fears the most. One is that he failed to kill Liu Bei and he suffered heavy losses. Then he might not be able to defend himself. The other is that he tried his best to kill Liu Bei, and then Liu Bei's subordinates attacked him. His crazy revenge put him at a disadvantage in the subsequent struggle for hegemony with Sun Jian.

Both of these situations were unacceptable to Cao Cao. It was a pity that he didn't bring Xun Yu, otherwise he wouldn't have to be so embarrassed if Xun Yu was by his side.

Just when Cao Cao was hesitant, a white dove suddenly landed next to Cao Cao in the sky. Cao Cao's deputy took off the note from the white dove's foot and handed it to Cao Cao. After Cao Cao opened it, his gloomy face turned even darker at this moment. It's almost dripping with water.

"How about it, Prime Minister Cao, it's a surprise."

Gu Rubing said with a smile. He could guess what was on the note by looking at Cao Cao's expression. Cao Cao had a gloomy face and tore the note into pieces.

The note was a battle report sent by the garrison in the northern part of Sili Prefecture. It said that early this morning, Ma Chao led tens of thousands of cavalry to the border of Sili Prefecture. He may attack Sili Prefecture at any time and ask for support.

"Ma Chao is leading troops to attack the border now just because you are still here and alive. If you die, will Ma Chao still firmly choose you?"

Cao Cao said with some reluctance. He was just trying to comfort himself by saying this. Gu Rubing just raised the corner of his lips and didn't say anything, because at this moment, another white dove appeared on the horizon and landed on the arm of Deputy General Cao Cao again. After taking down the battle report, the deputy general handed the note to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao snatched it away. The moment he saw the content, he almost couldn't hold back his curse words.

"Huang Zu, the governor of Jiangxia, leads an army of 80,000 to Yuzhou. He may attack Yuzhou at any time. Please ask for support."

There was another battle report asking for help, coming from the south. Liu Qi from Jingzhou and Ma Chao from Liangzhou actually sent troops at the same time to help Gu Rubing rescue the siege. Cao Cao already knew in his heart that it was impossible to kill Liu Bei in Xudu. When the two sides stop fighting, it will be the best result for Cao Cao, but Cao Cao is still dissatisfied.

"The soldiers and horses you are mobilizing now are all from Jingzhou and Liangzhou, not your own. Why, is it because of the great battle in Yangzhou some time ago that caused serious damage to your vitality? After all, other people's soldiers belong to others, not your own. As long as you die , Ma Chao and Liu Qi will definitely not avenge you."

Cao Cao snorted coldly.

"As long as you hand over the imperial seal, I will let you go and we will live in peace."

"Ha ha ha ha…"

Hearing Cao Cao's words, Gu Rubing laughed suddenly.

"Prime Minister, haven't you understood the current situation? It's not that I'm exchanging the Imperial Seal for my life, but that you have to think carefully about what you should exchange for your life."

"That means there's nothing to talk about?"

Cao Cao pulled out the green sword from his waist, as if to cheer himself up.

"In that case, let's fight!"

As soon as Cao Cao finished speaking, he saw another white dove flying in the sky. After the deputy general took down the battle report, he handed it to Cao Cao. Cao Cao was a little afraid to accept it. The last time he received it was Huang Zu Yajing, and the last time he received it was Ma Chao. Pressure, what about this time? Who is it again?

With a feeling of anxiety, Cao Cao opened the note, and it was clearly written on the note.

"Liu Bei's subordinate Zhang He led an army of over 100,000 people from Yanzhou. They have entered Yuzhou and are heading towards Xudu. They request the lord's support to resist Zhang He's attack."

Another battle report requesting support, and Zhang He led hundreds of thousands of troops to attack the border. Cao Cao looked at the note and fell into deep thought. Would there be another request for help soon? Thinking of this, Cao Cao quickly forced himself to throw away this dangerous idea, but the next moment, a white figure appeared in the sky in the northeast.

Cao Cao frowned slightly, and took the white dove from the deputy general's arm as if he didn't believe in evil, then took down the information and opened it impatiently, but after opening it, Cao Cao was completely stunned.

"Xu Rong, a general under Liu Bei, led a large army from Bingzhou to the border of Silizhou. Please decide whether to deploy defenses!"

Another army, Ma Chao of Liangzhou, Xu Rong of Bingzhou, Zhang He of Yanzhou, and Liu Biao of Jingzhou, sent troops at the same time.

"How about it, Prime Minister Cao, do you have anything to say now?"

Gu Rubing said with a smile. He had arranged people long ago, and today's large army was approaching the border, which put Cao Cao under great pressure.

Cao Cao's eyes were dark and unclear, as if he was making up his mind, and he seemed to be staring at Gu Rubing, as if he wanted to see Gu Rubing die.

"You and I will leave now. The next time we meet, we will fight to the death."

After Cao Cao finished speaking, he turned around and was about to leave, but was stopped by the Qinglong swordsman at the palace gate. Gu Rubing smiled and said from behind.

"Prime Minister Cao, I have just said that now you have to buy your life with something. You asked me to buy my life with the imperial seal. I guess Prime Minister Cao's life is more valuable than mine. Then take out something more precious than the imperial seal to buy your life."

"You?!"

Cao Cao was so angry at Gu Rubing's words that he was almost fuming. Gu Rubing still looked indifferent and deliberately provoked Cao Cao.

"Or does Prime Minister Cao think that his life is not as good as mine? That's right, you are just a prime minister, your life is cheap, naturally it is not as good as mine, then buy it with what you think the price of your life is, remember, you have to satisfy me."

"Big-eared thief, you are looking for death!"

Dian Wei roared, extremely angry at Gu Rubing's behavior, and at the same time snatched the spear of the soldier beside him and threw it out, trying to stab Gu Rubing to death, but Guan Yu and others had already returned to Gu Rubing's front, a spear, how could it threaten Gu Rubing's safety.

Guan Yu swung out with his sword, and the spear that fell rapidly in the air broke into pieces. When it was still more than ten meters away from Gu Rubing, the spear had broken into a messy powder. Taishi Ci drew his bow and arrows at the moment when Guan Yu slashed with his sword, and three arrows were shot at once, directly targeting Cao Cao.

One of the arrows was blocked by Xiahou Yuan, another was caught by Xu Chu, and the third was shot in front of Cao Cao's horse, scaring Cao Cao's horse, which raised its hooves and snorted. Fortunately, Dian Wei was beside the horse, so the horse did not get out of control.
