Chapter 3204 Window

After Li Dian rushed forward with his soldiers, he suddenly discovered something.

Cao Jun...

It seems to be less capable of fighting.

In Li Dian's memory, there is nothing to say about ordinary Cao's soldiers, but the direct combat soldiers such as the Cao family's leadership and guards are still quite powerful.

Except for the match...

Oh, then it's all right.

Li Dian watched the Cao army soldier running at the back being chased by Di mountain soldiers, and then slashed up with one knife. The Cao army soldiers limped for a few steps, and were caught by two chased Di mountain soldiers, pressed on the ground and slashed their heads...

Suddenly, a trace of indescribable emotions surged in Li Dian's heart, and then he sighed softly.

As soon as Cao Zhen retreated, the Cao army soldiers who were fighting in the front quickly lost their will to fight. Originally, these Cao army soldiers were able to form formations to fight against Di mountain soldiers, supporting them without collapse. As a result, Cao Zhen retreated, everyone was just thinking about escaping.

The Cao army soldier just now was chased and killed until his head was cut off, and he did not turn around and fight against the Di mountain soldiers. It seemed that his fighting will to fight suddenly disappeared.

From the beginning of the battle, Li Dian was looking for Cao Zhen's figure, but the distance was too far and could not be found. However, Li Dian knew that although Cao Zhen did not shoot out the flag, he was among the group of Cao's soldiers.

Suddenly, a soldier in front of him cheered loudly, "Hahaha! This is a big fish!"

Li Dian jumped and looked up. He saw several Di mountain soldiers pulling a generally intact Cao army's corpse. The cap of the corpse had fallen. I don't know where it fell, or who took it away as a spoil. However, the corpse also had a pair of black-sleeved armor on its body, with a war skirt, with a uniform paint surface and complete armor. It was not something that ordinary Cao soldiers could afford.

Li Dian walked up, separated the onlookers, and went up to check. The Cao army military academy should have been shot and had a half-arrow arrow on his head. He identified his face. It was not Cao Zhen, but it should also be a middle-level military academy in the Cao family's Zhonggu, and perhaps the front-line commander of the Cao army in front just now.

"At least a military marquis." Li Dian said, then he swept the Di mountain soldiers watching the fun, and immediately said angrily, "Don't let go! Put it here! All these are all registered! You are indispensable! What are you all doing here? Clean the battlefield! Also, those who just fought half of the battle and cut their heads, and half of their merits were deducted! The cow trained will strip the rope three times, so how can you teach you?!"

The Di people's mountain soldiers immediately scattered.

No matter how much he scolded, Li Dian was quite satisfied with the performance of the Di people's mountain soldiers this time.

Li Dian arrived here from Mulansai. Although the journey was shorter than Cao Zhen's distance, the time was relatively fast and the preparations were not sufficient. Most of the Di mountain soldiers were fighting against Cao's army head-on for the first time, and they were able to achieve such a level...

but……

Li Dian frowned.

"General! Cao's army is no longer able to do it, why don't you chase after him?"

Li Dian guards beside him asked.

Li Dian looked back at the guard.

The guard shrank his head slightly and whispered: "General, this is an opportunity..."

"What opportunity?" Li Dian asked.

Just like in the Han Dynasty, most of the generals were close friends and trustworthy confidants. Most of Li Dian’s personal guards were from the Li clan and their own relatives.

"This... this fish is too small..." The guard kicked the body of the Cao army's military marquis and whispered, "It's enough to give ordinary soldiers, but if it's for the general...

Li Dian smiled, then frowned slightly.

He understood what guard meant.

Merits are like an upgraded experience value. The higher the level, the more experience value you need. Such a merit of a Cao army marquis is enough for an ordinary soldier to upgrade to three levels on the spot, but if it is placed on Li Dian, it can only add a little progress bar.

and……

This is indeed a good opportunity.

A complete separation from Cao's family is a good opportunity to show loyalty.

It’s not that Li Dian was half-hearted before, but that Li Dian had worked under Boss Cao before.

This is a fact, whether Li Dian admits or avoids it, it is a fact that exists.

So, if you can really cut off Cao Zhen’s head, not to mention the merits, it means that Li Dian is truly on Fei Qian’s side. From then on, no one else will dare to have any rumors about Li Dian’s experience of working under Lao Cao.

Of course, there may be some indirect discussions for Li Dian personally, but it is indeed a great benefit for Li Dian's entire family.

Li Dian glanced at the guard.

When Li Dian defected to Fei Qian and then asked for the Li Dian clan back from Cao Cao, Li Dian clan members often scolded him behind his back...

There were even many Li Dian tribe members who cried all the way to Guanzhong.

Calculate it, how long has it been?

Li Dian was silent for a while, then frowned and looked at the surrounding battlefield, shook his head and said, "It is naturally the best to win, but now it seems... it cannot be chased."

"Master..." The guard was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but say with some concern, "This...If this is..."

Li Dian raised his hand and said, "Look, the Cao army is actually scattered in the front, and the middle and back formations are complete... The most casualties are here. From there, there have been few Cao army casualties... What does this mean? Moreover, the mountain road is narrow and embarrassing. If we chase it in a hurry, the queue will naturally not be in shape. At that time, Cao army will fight back at any time. Do you think we can withstand it? Even if we hold it, will we make a profit or a loss?"

"Lord, then you mean...

Although the guards are eager for merit, they are now on the battlefield. It is OK to make suggestions, but Li Dian is still the one who decides.

『Let me think about it…』

Li Dian Tiao looked at the direction of Cao's defeat and thought.

...

...

Cao Zhen squatted quietly in the grass, like a tiger and leopard waiting for the arrival of prey, adjusting his breathing as much as possible to stabilize his breath.

He is ready to use the same trick again.

Who said that if you are ambushed, you cannot ambush the other way around?

Cao Zhen is not as panicked as he seems on the surface.

After he confirmed that there was an enemy ambush, he realized at the first time that even if he rushed out of the valley, he might not be able to defeat the opponent's ambush.

Even the elite soldiers of Cao's army who came from afar were exhausted. Cao Zhen didn't know the situation on the other side at all, and he didn't know what preparations the other party had, so how likely would he win if the entire army attacked?

Why not come back and squat in the grass.

At least Cao Zhen took people through this road...

That's right, it's the narrow and long stone road that made Cao Zhen frightened.

When he got here, Cao Zhen was afraid of ambushing, so he asked his subordinates to search again and again.

It comes in handy now.

Because the investigation was carefully conducted, Cao Zhen naturally knew that there could be hidden people there.

After a while, some of the defeated soldiers in the front stumbled back and fled along the mountain road...

Cao Zhen swallowed.

Will Li Dian come?

He was really unsure of this.

If it were before, Cao Zhen was 80% sure, Li Dian would pursue him. Because at that time, Li Dian was a general and a general who was a vanguard, even if he led his troops alone, and most of the time, these generals had to "go through fire and water" for the main generals. Even if they knew there were traps or felt that there was danger, they still had to attack under the command of the main general.

But now, Cao Zhen is not sure...

Is Li Dian's changes before or after surrender?

Cao Zhen's mood spread like the weeds in front of him.

If Li Dian catches up, then he will fight back, and Hanzhong won't be able to win it smoothly, but if Li Dian doesn't come...

Cao Zhen looked at the mountain road in the distance through the grass, his eyes full of longing and expectation.

This desire and expectation came out the last time he appeared... Cough cough, it was still the time when Cao Zhen got married. Now, Cao Zhen swears that he has never expected someone's arrival so much in his life, and he is still a man.

The fleeing Cao's soldiers passed by in groups of three or three, and fewer and fewer than that.

Cao Zhen’s heart is slowly sinking.

After another moment, the mountain road became silent.

The light in Cao Zhen's eyes gradually dimmed with the silence of the mountain road.

A cup of tea passed.

A quarter of an hour passed.

The mountain road is silent...

"Master... do you want..." The guard beside Cao Zhen gritted his teeth and whispered, "Do you want... let's go and induce..."

To sway a sway, it’s really not to sway a flag. Li Dian and others couldn’t find the way, so the “shot” mentioned by the guards must be wearing Cao Zhen’s armor and pretending to be Cao Zhen himself to lure Li Dian into the bait.

But such behavior means great risks.

The guards said this and almost gave their life.

Cao Zhen was silent and sat back on the ground.

"No need...send orders and prepare to withdraw troops..."
