In the fifth year of Jiankang, there were still five years before the Battle of Chibi in history, and the pottery merchants gathered the main troops and horses under their command, and took advantage of Cao Cao's illness to launch a large-scale attack on his camp.

If it is changed to usual, although the pottery merchant's offensive is fierce, but it is not difficult for Cao Cao, at least if Cao Cao can give orders accurately, his own side will not be too passive, even if he can't win, he can resist it.

But the main problem now is that Cao Cao has a splitting headache, let alone commanding the three armies to fight, and he can't get out of bed.

Cao Cao lay on the bed, sweating profusely, with a white square scarf on his forehead, panting and howling.

"Ah~~! Yes~! ”

Cao Cao also had a head stroke before, and he was fine when he was young, but as he got older, the frequency of the disease became higher and higher, and with the increase of age, every time he got sick, he was still shivering in pain.

In the previous life of the pottery merchant, there were also people around him who suffered from symptoms similar to Cao Cao, but the people of that era did not call this disease headache, but called it neuropathic headache.

This disease is generally difficult to treat, and most of them can only be relieved by medication.

The old man he knew was in pain once a month on average, and it was useless to go to the hospital to see a doctor when he was in pain, and the doctor was helpless, so he could only prescribe some painkillers or inject drips to relieve the symptoms, but the effect was minimal.

Every time, it has to hurt for a few days before it can return to normal, this disease has lasted for a lifetime in the old man, and every month it is more punctual than the eldest aunt, which makes people helpless.

And Cao Cao is also in this situation at the moment.

Cao Cao's camp was on the other side of the Yellow River's tributaries.

A total of eight pontoon bridges were built on the river leading to the east bank, which served as an important passage for Cao's army to the east.

At present, these eight pontoon bridges are the main route of the Jinling Army's attack.

It was summer, and the water level of the river was extremely shallow, even if the river was wading through, the Jinling army could cross the river.

However, no matter how shallow the river is, it can reach waist-high, and if you cross the river in the water, it will greatly affect the attack speed of the soldiers of the three armies, and it will also be conducive to the attack of the opponent's crossbowmen, so that your own defense will become 0.

In this way, it is not as fair as attacking the pontoon bridge.

The crossbowmen of the two armies stood on one side of the river bank and fired fierce arrows at the opposite side.

The Jinling army was led by Xu Chu, Ji Ling, Zang Ba and other infantry warriors, and led the troops to attack the pontoon bridge.

And the Cao army was not ambiguous, and the Lion and Tiger Army bore the brunt of the attack and rushed to the pontoon bridge to stop Xu Chu and the others.

Xu Chu brandished a machete, all the way forward on one of the pontoon bridges, constantly slashing and killing the soldiers of the Lion and Tiger Army who came up from the siege, and every time he waved the huge horse chopping knife in his hand, at least two soldiers of the Cao Army would be directly knocked into the water from the bridge.

And the river was infected by the blood of the dead sergeant, and it turned blood red and blood-red, which made people look shocking and inexplicable.

Xu Chu was as invincible as a bull, and under his leadership, the soldiers of the Tiger Guard Army were rapidly advancing on the pontoon bridge to the opposite side.

And if you want to stop a brute bull, the best way is to use another brute bull to block him.

Dian Wei, the commander of the Lion and Tiger Army, held two large iron halberds and personally boarded the pontoon bridge to meet Xu Chu.

These two people, who can be regarded as enemies, are very red-eyed when they meet.

"Bang dang!" The two of them didn't even ask a word, they exchanged their hands directly in the middle of the pontoon, and their weapons collided together in the middle of the pontoon, making a huge roar, which shocked the soldiers behind the two of them and retreated slightly.

These two people fight, completely ignoring the side, or be careful, if you are touched, you will be unlucky.

Dian Wei used an iron halberd to hold Xu Chu's war knife, and said with bared teeth: "Xu Zhongkang, this time you are looking for your own death!" If you dare to attack our camp, this is where you will be buried! ”

Xu Chu sneered and said, "Dian Wei, don't bluff here!" Don't think I don't know, Cao Cao is now guilty of a stubborn head wind, he can't even stand up from the bed, your generals in Cao Ying have no leader, hehe, if you know each other and are willing to submit to the prime minister, Lao Tzu can let you go, plead with you in front of the prime minister, and let you be my follower in the future, how about it? ”

After saying this, Dian Wei was shocked, and the double iron halberd in his hand shook slightly.

This subtle movement did not escape Xu Chu's eyes, he laughed, drew his saber, and continued to launch a fierce attack on Dian Wei.

Dian Wei came back to his senses and shouted: "The surname is Xu, you don't have to be here to fool people!" Look at me taking your life! ”

……

At the same time, in Cao Cao's tent, urgent reports from the front line were sent to him one after another.

But Cao Cao is just covering his head now, and he can't even say a complete sentence in pain, so how can he give the right instructions?

And at this moment of crisis, Xun You stood up and said to everyone: "At present, Sikong is seriously ill and cannot be a director, and the Tao Shang army is very urgent to attack us, and a general needs to stand up and preside over the overall situation and give orders to stabilize the morale of the army!" ”

Look at me, people, and I'll look at you.

At this critical moment, who has the courage and prestige to lead the generals to resist the Tao army?

Generals with foreign surnames are not considered at all, the main force of Cao's army is still in the hands of clan generals, and only clan generals can issue orders for Cao Cao.

It's a pity that Cao Ren is in Chenliu at the moment, if he is there, then everything will be presided over by him.

As for the others, Xiahoudun and Cao Hong are dead, and among the remaining Cao clans, there are only ...... people who have the prestige to command the overall situation

"Please Uncle Miaocai preside over the overall situation!" Xiahou Shang stepped out of class and said to Xiahou Yuan.

The generals also knew that at present, in terms of seniority, only Xiahou Yuan could take on this important responsibility, so they stood up one after another and asked Xiahou Yuan to preside over the overall situation.

Only Xun You, Cheng Yu and the others glanced at each other worriedly.

Xiahou Yuan's ability is nothing to say, and his prestige in the three armies is enough, the problem is that his character is too hard.

But at the moment, the matter is urgent, but there is nothing else to care about.

Xiahou Yuan was ordered to be in danger, without saying a word, and then said to the generals: "The Tao army is coming to attack, if they are allowed to cross the pontoon bridge, the situation will be in danger, the generals quickly pack up their men and horses, follow me to the river bank, and find a way to stop the Tao army's offensive!" ”

"No!"

Hearing Xiahou Yuan's words, Cheng Yu hurriedly said: "General Miaocai, don't be in a hurry at this time. ”

Xiahou Yuan had already picked up his knife and walked out, but when he heard this, he paused and said, "What do you mean?" ”

"The pottery thief is cunning, every move we make now, there will be no way back, and now we are still the only one who is stable!"

Xiahou Yuan snorted and said: "That's right, but the potters made it clear that they knew that Sikong was sick and couldn't be a director, and then stormed the pontoon bridge, wanting to attack our Chinese army for profit, and the place of the pontoon bridge is the place where the fortress of Dazhai is located, once lost, when the potters' army is about to camp, dare to ask Zhong Degong, the generals of the three armies, who can stop it?" ”

"This ......" Cheng Yu couldn't refute it.

At present, this matter is a contradictory matter, and it is really not to send troops, and if you don't send troops, you are waiting for death.

Xiahou Yuan said to Cheng Yu: "I am not a person who does not listen to loyalty, I will first lead the army to set up a formation on the bank of the river to block the Tao army from crossing the river, as long as the Tao army does not cross the river, I will not entangle with it, so that I can also withdraw troops at any time to deal with emergencies, Zhong Degong guards the camp, carefully thinks about the strategy of retreating from the enemy, if there is a good plan, you can call me forward at any time, how?" ”

It was not easy for Xiahou Yuan to say this.

Cheng Yu also knew that the best way at the moment was as Xiahou Yuan said.

He nodded at Xiahou Yuan and said, "Since this is the case, I will bother the general to be more careful." ”
