"Hurry, chase after him."
Cao Hong said to Xia Houyuan: "We must not let them go."
Cao Hong hated the man in black so much. He had injured him so badly and made him so embarrassed. It would not be an exaggeration to cut him into pieces with a thousand swords.
"rest assured."
Xia Houyuan nodded and said to Cao Hong, "He can't run away."
Xia Houyuan then asked his men to carry Cao Hong back for medical treatment, while he led his men to continue the pursuit.
Cao Hong hated these enemies with all his heart, so how could Xia Houyuan not?
Cao Hong was almost killed. If Cao Hong died here, the loss to Cao Cao would be great. For Cao Cao, Cao Hong could not afford to lose.
Xia Houyuan went to the caravan, but the caravan did not receive any sneak attacks, indicating that this enemy was targeting them, not the caravan.
Therefore, no matter what, Xia Houyuan did not want to let go of this enemy.
Although it was dark, Xia Houyuan still wanted to lead his men in pursuit.
However, after pursuing for a certain distance, a wave of arrows suddenly fell from the darkness, causing Cao's army to suffer heavy casualties.
"kill!"
Xia Houyuan and his soldiers were shocked when shouts of killing rang out from all around.
Xia Houyuan was a little better. His soldiers were not as calm as he was. Many soldiers looked around in panic, worried that enemies would come out and their morale dropped a lot.
"Damn it!"
Xia Houyuan was filled with hatred, but at this time, he did not dare to continue the pursuit with his men. The enemy obviously had reinforcements. If he continued to pursue, he would be ambushed.
In the end, Xia Houyuan had to take the people back to the camp.
Xia Houyuan returned to the camp with his troops and horses. He first went to visit Cao Hong.
What made Xia Houyuan feel at ease was that although Cao Hong was severely injured, it was not life-threatening. He did not injure any muscles or bones. They were all flesh injuries, but the flesh injuries were relatively serious.
Cao Hong's face was pale and he had lost too much blood. He was lying on the camp bed. He refused to sleep and forcefully opened his eyes, waiting for Xia Houyuan to come back.
"How was it?" When Cao Hong saw Xia Houyuan coming back, he immediately asked about the result of the battle.
"Let them run away."
Xia Houyuan said angrily: "The enemy still has ambushes, so we don't dare to advance."
"Damn it!"
Cao Hong was so angry that he wanted to hit someone. As soon as his body tensed up, the wound burst open and blood oozed out immediately. The guards nearby were frightened and rushed to help Cao Hong stop the bleeding.
"Who is it?"
Cao Hong gritted his teeth and said fiercely, "Is it Sun Quan?"
"I don't know."
Xia Houyuan shook his head and said: "It's hard to say whether the enemy came prepared and whether they left anything to prove their identity."
The enemy who attacked this time was dressed in black and had nothing but a plain knife or a crossbow. There was no way to confirm the identity of the enemy.
"but"
Xia Houyuan then said: "The crossbow used by the enemy is very special. This is the first time I have seen it."
"Crossbow?" Cao Hong frowned. Xia Houyuan's words reminded him of the arrows falling like rain when the men in black intercepted his soldiers. At that time, he thought there were many enemies because it took a lot of arrows to create such an effect.
"A very special crossbow, I have never seen it before." Xia Houyuan said.
"Where is it? Let me see." Cao Hong asked hurriedly.
Xia Houyuan asked his men to bring the crossbow from his mouth.
Cao Hong took a look and asked strangely: "Why does it look broken?"
"Destroyed by the enemy,"
Xia Houyuan said to Cao Hong: "The enemy still seems to care about this. When they retreat, once they find out that they have escaped, they will destroy the crossbow in their hands as soon as possible. This is the least damaged one that can be found."
Hearing Xia Houyuan's words, Cao Hong's face couldn't help but change. Even he could smell that the enemy was not simple.
In order to protect the crossbow in every possible way, one would rather die than let it remain intact and fall into the hands of others. What kind of enemy would do this?
"Who is it?" Cao Hong asked hurriedly.
"Can't guess."
Xia Houyuan shook his head and said: "But the enemy did this obviously to conceal his identity, so it is possible no matter who it is."
"Sun Quan?" Cao Hong spit out a person's name.
"possible."
? ???Liu Bei? "
"Also a possibility."
Xia Houyuan thought for a while and said, "But there is one person who is more suspicious."
"who?"
"Liu Zhe!"
Xia Houyuan said a name, which shocked Cao Hong so much that he almost jumped out of bed.
"This" Cao Hong didn't know what to say.
"But doesn't he want the prime minister to fight to the death with Liu Bei and Liu Biao? What does it mean if he takes action?" Cao Hong asked Xia Houyuan. For this kind of thing, Cao Hong felt that his brain was not enough.
"Has Liu Zhe personally said that he hopes the Prime Minister will go south?" Xia Houyuan asked lightly.
"this"
Cao Hong was stunned, and then he remembered that Liu Zhe never said that he supported Cao Cao's move south. It was more of a hint. It was said by people like Yang Xiu that Liu Zhe supported Cao Cao's move south.
"Damn it, is it really Liu Zhe?" Cao Hong was furious and wanted to kill him in Youzhou with his sword.
"It's hard to say." Xia Hou said.
"Damn, you despicable villain, I knew he was not a good person." Cao Hong was so angry that he cursed Liu Zhe.
"Zi Lian."
Xia Houyuan said to Cao Hong: "Don't mention this again. Don't say more until you confirm who it is, so as not to make things difficult for the Prime Minister."
Although Cao Hong was angry, he could only nod. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
