Chapter 379: Don't forget to dig wells

"General Zhao is a god, and Cao is truly admired! When this battle is over, if Cao is lucky enough to survive, I don't know the general...... Would you like to come to my side as the captain of Zhichong, and the Taishou of Dongjun? ā€

After this battle, Cao Cao not only greatly appreciated the Black Iron Shield Array, but even Zhao Yun, who commanded the formation, the more he looked at it, the more pleasing it became.

So as soon as he returned to the inner city, he threw an olive branch to the other party, trying to bring Zhao Yun under his command.

As for the position of "Captain Zhichong and Taishou of Dongjun", it was originally reserved for Xiahou and was regarded as one of the highest official positions within the Cao Army.

But at this moment, in order to show his sincerity, Cao Cao decided to "gift" this position to Zhao Yun after thinking twice.

As the interim commander of the Chinese army, Zhao Yun has lived in Xuchang for a long time, and he knows very well what the position of "Captain Zhichong and Taishou of Dongjun" means.

Seeing that Cao Cao actually promised himself such an important official position, Zhao Yun was shocked, but he also saw that the other party was full of sincerity.

But how could Zhao Yun be a person who coveted his official position and lived in the twilight?

As soon as the other party's voice fell, I saw him clench his fists and reject the other party with a firm face:

"Thank you for the general's kindness, Zilong is grateful! But the matter of the officials...... It is difficult to obey the fate. ā€

"Oh? Why is that? ā€

"As the so-called draft does not forget to dig wells, Zilong's achievements today are all given by General Hua, and Zhao will never be ungrateful and betray the lord!"

Speaking of this, I heard Zhao Yun change his voice again:

"In addition, the formations I used just now were all taught by General Hua. Without this protection, it would be difficult for you and me to return safely today. So in other words, the general was able to get out of danger, and my lord also has a lot of credit, and you should be grateful to him. But now, you're saying that to me behind your back...... Hehe, isn't there something wrong with that? ā€

originally wanted to dig the foot of the wall, but it turned out to be preached by the other party.

After hearing this, Cao Cao could only smile awkwardly, immediately gave up this idea, and walked slowly towards the inner city......

When Cao Cao came to the main hall of the inner city, he found that most of the generals were taking refuge in the hall at the moment.

After seeing the lord enter the palace, Cao Ang, who was still worried, immediately showed joy and strode up to greet him:

"Father, you're finally here! Erchen has just discussed with a few generals, if we can't wait for you to come, we will prepare to kill the generals......"

"Alas! encountered several groups of Yuan soldiers, and delayed for some time...... Are you all alright? ā€

"Father, rest assured, only General Li Dian and Captain Ren Jundu were slightly injured, and the others are fine...... "Cao Ang is reporting the situation while inviting his father into the main seat.

In order to express his gratitude, after Cao Cao took his seat, he also made a special trip to summon Zhao Yun to sit beside him.

This move caused the dissatisfaction of the generals on the spot, and Cao Hong took the lead in standing up, with a look of disgust, and said in a strange manner:

"Humph! Are you too embarrassed to take a seat? When is it? Where's your father-in-law? Why haven't you come back? Is it because you are afraid of death, so you dare not come? ā€

"That's it!" Cao Xiu also chimed in:

"Even if you can't borrow soldiers, you can come back by yourself, huh? Why hasn't he been seen for so long? ā€

"What bullshit ally? I really shouldn't have believed his nonsense in the first place! It's a shame for us to wait here ......."

After the city of Xuchang was broken, the generals of the Cao army were extremely unhappy.

In addition, when faced with failure, people always like to find the "reason" from others in the first place, rather than asking themselves.

So for a while, Zhao Yun became their punching bag, and everyone was eager to scold them.

"Shut up!"

Just when everyone was gossiping, Cao Cao, who was sitting on the chairman, suddenly slammed the table and interrupted everyone angrily:

"If the city is not defended, it is our problem, how can we blame General Jiahua? Although General Hua is not in the city, his 10,000 soldiers are all staying in Xuchang, isn't this enough? In addition, Cao was able to return safely this time, all thanks to General Zhao's escort all the way. What's wrong with me letting him take a seat? In the future, who will dare to talk such nonsense and be ungrateful...... That's it! ā€

After glancing at Zhao Yun meaningfully, he saw Cao Cao get up and draw his sword, and forcibly cut off a corner of the wooden table in front of him.

Seeing the attitude of the lord, the generals hurriedly bowed down and apologized, and since then no one dared to speak out to slander the Chinese army......

"My lord, then ...... What should we do? After Cao Cao's anger subsided, he listened to Xiahoudun take the initiative.

Cao Cao sighed and asked, "Alas! How many soldiers do we have left? ā€

"When the gates of the city were broken, the soldiers fled, and surrendered...... Only 3,000 soldiers fled into the inner city. Xiahoudun said with a look of regret.

"That's so little, huh?" After shaking his head helplessly, Cao Cao said again: "Then how long do you estimate how long you can block it?" ā€

"An hour or two at most. Although the inner city is blocked by a wall, it can be easily penetrated by enemy troops who find escalators or break the gates. So...... Hiding here is not a long-term solution. ā€

"Lord, why don't we break through?" Seeing that Cao Cao was silent, Xiahou Yuan, who was standing on the side, opened his mouth and suggested:

"Hiding here is death sooner or later, it's better to go out and fight, maybe you can kill a bloody way!"

"Miaocai, there are more than 100,000 Yuan troops outside, how can we break through and succeed with just a few of us? Isn't this a death for nothing? Xiahoudun obviously didn't like this bold idea.

"So what do you say? Once the inner city is captured, it will only be killed. I'd rather die in battle than die here! ā€

"Humph! Kill out, you are happy, but what about the lord? Do you want your lord to die with you? ā€

"I—I didn't mean that, and I want the Lord to be fair and safe! But if you stay here, can you guarantee that the master is safe and sound? ā€

Seeing that the Xiahou brothers were stubborn and did not give in to each other, Cao Ang, who was standing on the other side, suddenly thought of something, and stepped forward to interrupt the two:

"Two uncles, can you listen to my little nephew?"

"What's the matter? You're also in favor of a breakout? Xiahoudun squinted and asked.

"Yes, but no!"

"What do you mean?"

"The little nephew thinks that our army should break through, but it is not blind, but to try to help my father get out of trouble!"

When Cao Ang said this, although his tone was extremely firm, there was an inexplicable sadness flashing in his eyes.

"Well, that's right. But how? Hearing this, he saw Xiahou Yuan with a confused face and said:

"Even if I give me 30,000 troops, I don't dare to guarantee that I can help my lord get out of trouble, let alone only 3,000? What the hell do you mean? ā€

Xiahoudun, who was standing on the other side, was also confused by Cao Ang's remarks:

"Zixuan, did you think of something? Say anything quickly, don't play dumb riddles here, it's really a rush to death! ā€
