Chapter 431: Who's Daddy
"Report! Prime Minister Qiqi, the vanguard of our army is complete, and the whole army is annihilated! "Cao Cao was just about to pull out the camp tent when a herald sent such a message.
"Vanguard, annihilated?" Cao Cao's eyes widened, as if he couldn't believe his ears.
"What do you say? How is it possible to annihilate the whole army? What about Xiahou Chun, what about Xiahou Chun! Let him come in for me, I'm going to cut him! Cao Cao was furious.
"General Xiahou Chun has been captured alive!" The herald continued.
"Boom!" Cao Cao directly lifted off the table: "How many enemies are there?" Who will the Lord be? ”
"The number of enemy troops is unknown, but it looks like there are tens of thousands."
"Tens of thousands?" Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, if there were really tens of thousands of people, then Xiahou Chun would not lose unjustly, even if he Cao Cao was besieged by tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, he was no better than Xiahou Chun.
"Tens of thousands?" Cheng Yu on the side frowned, "How can there be tens of thousands of people?" ”
"Isn't it that Yuan Yao's main force is still in Huainan?"
"Impossible, what is in Cai Cheng?" The civil and military forces in Cao Cao's tent discussed.
They summed up an answer, that is, Cai Cheng was not the main force in Huainan, and Cao Ren's subordinate Cao Cheng lied about the military situation.
"Prime Minister, it must have been Cao Cheng who accepted bribes and was bought by the Huainan soldiers and horses, so he released a lie about the military situation, fortunately, the lord was witty, but he only sent a vanguard army, otherwise if our army crossed the river and the Huainan army crossed the river halfway, it would really be difficult to end!"
"Hmph, General Cao Ren's subordinates may have been bribed to tell lies, could it be that General Cao Ren is also lying?" A Wenchen stood up, this person was Xun You, and he had a letter from Cao Ren to Cao Cao in his hand, which was the situation of the Yingchuan generation that Cao Ren said, this Huainan thief Kou is having a tendency to march towards Yingchuan, and all kinds of scholars are running towards Xudu.
No one dared to say that Cao Ren would betray Cao Cao, because Cao Ren was Cao Cao's brother, and Cao Ren followed Cao Cao when Cao Cao was still in the middle of the micro-end, and it was impossible to betray Cao Cao when he was making his fortune now.
"Where's Bonghyo?" Cao Cao looked at Guo Jia again.
"My lord, General Cao Ren will not lie to my lord!" Guo Jia spoke, Cao Ren would not deceive Cao Cao, then it was this Huainan soldiers and horses who deceived Cao Cao.
"Are you saying that the other side of Yingshui is not the main force of the Huainan Army? But why was General Xiahou Chun wiped out the whole army? The scholars on the side questioned, they didn't want to take risks, and they were more willing to return to Yanzhou for Cao Cao.
"Lord, let's let a few of the rout soldiers come in and ask!" Guo Jia said to Cao Cao.
Cao Cao nodded, and soon Yu Ban's soldiers and horses, who had managed to escape from the other side of Yingshui, came into the camp and knelt down in front of Cao Cao.
"The villain Niu Er has seen the prime minister, all the adults!"
"You're not from Yanzhou?" Cao Cao could hear this person's words.
"The villain used to be from Huainan." This defeated soldier said to Cao Cao in horror, it is also a loss that he is from Huainan, otherwise, he would have to enter the Yingshui and feed Wang Ba like most people.
"Okay, Niu Er, don't be nervous, you come and tell the prime minister what happened that day, how could General Xiahou Chun be wiped out!" Guo Jia is also a person born in a poor family, so there is a sense of intimacy between words.
"That day, that day!" This cow babbled about everything that happened that day.
"Xiahou Chun actually fought with that Yuan Yao's child?" Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, and then scolded, "He was kicked in the head by a donkey, so he also believes Yuan Yao'er's words?" ”
Yuan Yao'er can choose a fighting general, it must be relied on, but Xiahou Chun was so unexplained and fooled.
If Xiahou Chun is here, he will inevitably defend himself against Cao Cao, it is not that the national army is not powerful, but the enemy is too cunning, how did he Xiahou Chun know that this Yuan Yao child will regard despicability and shamelessness as his synonym.
"Good, good!" The more Cao Cao listened, the more annoyed he became, first Xiahou Chun didn't send scouts to inspect the other side of Yingshui, and then Xiahou Chun actually had a brain pump to fight with Yuan Yao'er, and the third was Huang Jian, the deputy general of Yu Ban.
The Lord will be captured, and you don't want to appease the soldiers and horses and rush out, isn't this brain-dead.
"The last will be guilty!" Yu Ban said and bowed down to Cao Cao over there, this deputy general was recommended by him Yu Ban.
"Wen Ze, what a crime you have!" Cao Cao waved his hand, although he was very angry, he was also a person with clear rewards and punishments.
"It's all my fault, shouldn't I have let Xiahou Chun be the vanguard!" Cao Cao said regretfully, if you let Yu Ban go, according to Yu Ban's temper, those who can fight in a group will never fight with you alone, and those who can use crowd tactics to kill you will definitely not play heroism.
"You just said that it was Yuan Yao'er who went head-to-head with General Xiahou Chun?" Guo Jia grasped the crux of the problem and asked Niu Er, who had finally escaped back.
"Yes, I was standing far away at that time, so I couldn't see it very clearly, but I heard General Xiahou Chun shouting a few times Yuan Yao Xiao'er dared to insult me, so he rushed out and killed him! Later, later, they all said that General Xiahou Chun was captured alive, and General Huang Jian was also dead, and everyone fled! He Niu Er ran to the other side of Yingshui in one breath.
"So, you didn't see it with your own eyes?" Guo Jia asked with a frown
"No?!" Niu Er shook his head and said.
"Lord, this person is not telling the truth!!" Guo Jia said to Cao Cao over there.
"What!" The military general on the side was about to step forward and cut down this Niu Er, but was stopped by Guo Jia.
"I, I, I'm not lying!" Niu Er stammered, these are all big shots, they are all people who can open their mouths and decide his life and death.
Guo Jia waved his hand and asked his subordinates to take this Niu Er out and treat him well.
"Lord, although this Niu Er is not telling the truth, he is not lying!" Guo Jia continued.
"Sacrificial wine, what do you mean by that?" Isn't it contradictory that there is no telling the truth and not lying?
"Half of what Niu Er said was heard, and half of what he guessed!" Guo Jia explained to everyone, "General Xiahou Chun was captured alive, and General Huang Jian was killed, this may be true!" ”
If it weren't for the fact that one of these two people was captured by Yuan Yaosheng and the other was killed by Zhao Yun, the soldiers and horses under Yu Ban would not have been so completely defeated, an army of five thousand.
There were less than one or two hundred people who really escaped back to the other side of Yingshui, 1,000 died under Yuan Yao's soldiers, 1,000 died in trampling, and more jumped into the river and finally drowned.
"And the main force of the enemy, the enemy all over the mountains, this is fake!" This Niu Er just heard but didn't see it, and they were all crowded, once the formation of the army was wrong and the morale was reduced, it was really a soldier.
"Hmph, this Xiahou Yuanrang, it's good to be dead!" Cao Cao scolded fiercely.
Everyone knows that Cao Cao is scolding on the surface, but in fact he is glad that Xiahou Chun did not die on the battlefield, but was captured alive by Yuan Yao.
"Lord, General Xiahou Chun is not without merit!" Guo Jia smiled.
"What credit does he have!" Cao Cao said disdainfully.
"Lord, have you forgotten the task you gave to General Xiahou Chun?" Guo Jia continued to say to Cao Cao.
"Mission?" Cao Cao slowly recalled the scene of Xiahou Chun's expedition that day, that was his Cao Cao's order, let Xiahou Chun command an army of soldiers and horses to cross Yingshui, go to Lujiang, and test the reality of Lujiang.
"Lord, although this General Xiahou Chun was captured alive, it also brought us a piece of news, that is, Yuan Yao Xiao'er is really in Huainan!" Guo Jia said coldly to Cao Cao.
"Yuan Yao'er is in Huainan?" Cao Cao's eyes rolled, no one knew Xiahou Chun better than him, and I am afraid that Yuan Yao Xiao'er was the only one who could make Xiahou Chun so angry that he wanted to fight.
Who let Yuan Yao capture Xiahou Chun alive.
"What do you mean?"
"Lord, now the army doesn't need to change its direction, the whole army is going south, the target is Lujiang City, as long as Yuan Yao'er is captured alive in Lujiang City, then it will be decided in a battle!" Guo Jia said to Cao Cao's suggestion.
"It's a war to decide!" Cao Cao listened to Guo Jia's words, if according to Guo Jia's words, Xiahou Chun really not only did not sin but had merit.
"Good!" Cao Cao is also worthy of being a hero, and he quickly reacted from the defeat.
"Where is the forbidden!" Cao Cao shouted to the soldiers and horses under his hands.
"The last general!" Yu Ban knelt down in front of Cao Cao.
"Yu Ban, I will command the remaining soldiers and horses of your troops with you, cross the river directly, line up on both sides of the river to stand guard, and cover the soldiers and horses of other troops to prevent the Huainan Army from sneaking attack! Don't go too deep with the Huainan army! Cao Cao reminded Yu Ban on the side.
"The last general commands!" Needless to say, Yu Ban will do the same, Dou General? Just kidding, his force value in Yu Ban is not high, he and Gao Shun are the same characters, they are all training and commanding troops, and the fighting generals are really in front of the first-class generals, which is a scum with a combat effectiveness of five, which is inferior to Xiahou Chun.
"Where is Li Dian!" Cao Cao shouted again.
"The last general!"
"With you commanding your troops and horses, following the forbidden department to cross the river, the pioneer battalion is twenty miles away from the city of Lujiang and camped, and then take the lead in attacking Lujiang!"
"The last general commands!"
"Xu Huang, full of pets!" Cao Cao gave orders one by one, and the purpose of their orders was only one, that is, to cross the river and call hard towards Yuan Yao's face, this time he would definitely beat him Yuan Yao's child to a blue nose and swollen face, and kneel in front of him Cao Cao to call his father willingly.
"The last general commands!"
