Chapter 4 005 Selling your life
"Okay, except for Runan, Xinye, and Wancheng, all of which have fallen into the hands of our army, six hundred miles to urgently send an order to Zhang Fei, Huang Zhong ordered him to send troops from Hanzhong to take Shangyong, and after Huang Zhong stayed in Shangyong and Gan Ning in Wancheng to support each other, Zhang Fei ordered the elite soldiers to attack this pass through the Wancheng soldiers through the Tiger Prison and our internal and external sandwiches," Guan Zheng picked up the battle report in his hand and read it carefully, and then ordered to the left and right
"Okay, very good," in the newly completed Tongque Terrace in Yecheng, Cao Cao was furious there, and thundered at the martial arts under his command, connecting the three battles in one day, and the report said that they were all defeated, Wancheng lost Hangu Pass, and even Luoyang was lost, which made Cao Cao feel deeply unacceptable
"Once upon a time, Jiangdong Xiao'er became so powerful, Lian Zhan Lianjie attacked Lian Ke, he accounted for most of this world, right, could it be that Sun Quan will be the next Cao Mengde, but I, Cao Mengde, will become the next Yuan Shao," Cao Cao forcibly endured the anger and depression in his heart, and thought secretly
"The king of Wei is a top priority, withdraw his troops from Shouchun and return to defend Chen, and leave Xuchang as the superior, and at the same time should send a messenger to meet Sun Quan and temporarily cease fighting with him, and it is not too late to make plans after our army is arranged," Xun Yu stepped forward and persuaded Cao Cao softly
"Withdrawing the army, my son led the army to fight hard for half a month, and almost died on the head of Shouchun City, at this time, you let me withdraw the army," Cao Cao sat upright and said angrily to Xun Yu, this is one of the few times he is annoyed with Xun Yu, not for Cao Zhang, but used to being high, he suddenly couldn't accept Sun Quan becoming so strong
"King Sun Quan of Wei poured the whole country's troops to attack it this time, it is menacing, if the King of Wei insists on colliding with it, I am afraid that it will be the second Yuan Shao in the future," Xun Yu finished speaking, and fluttered away with a flick of his sleeves
"Xun Wenruo......" Cao Cao raised his hand and pointed at Xun Yu's back and shouted angrily
"The words of Lord Xun of Wei are bitter medicine, with the means of the Eastern Wu Right Governor Zheng with soldiers, I am afraid that his people will not be willing to just take Luoyang and give up, the next step he will definitely gather a large army to storm the Tiger Prison Pass, if the Tiger Prison Pass is lost, the King of Wei will be in danger at that time."
"From the point of view below, you might as well follow Lord Xun's advice, lower your posture for the time being, and seek a truce with Sun Quan, in order to give our army a little respite, and after our army is properly deployed, the King of Wei wants to rub the Sun Quan into a circle or into a flat, but it is all up to the will of the King of Wei" It was Sima Yi who said this, he was about to tie Cao Cao to the chariot, and it didn't take long for Cao Cao to lose to Sun Quan
"What Sima Zhongda said is very much the King of Wei thinking twice," Seeing that someone was speaking for his nephew, Xun You hurriedly stood up and echoed
"You really think what Xun Yu said is reasonable," Cao Cao saw that his subordinates agreed with Xun Yu's suggestion, and immediately got up and asked
"Wei Wang thinks twice", everyone naturally thinks that what Xun Yu said makes sense, but they can't figure out what Cao Cao means, if they answer directly, which annoys Cao Cao, then it will be worth the loss, so they all bow their heads and put their hands together, and think twice
"Ordered my family's Huang Xu'er Xu Huang to lead 30,000 troops back to defend Chen to stay in the forbidden army to lead 30,000 troops back to defend Xiapi, my son to lead 30,000 troops back to defend Xuchang Cheng Yu, let him return to Yecheng in the starry night," After pondering for a long time, Cao Cao finally followed Xun Yu's advice to handle it
At the same time as ordering the withdrawal of the army, Cao Cao sent an envoy from Yecheng to Jianye to negotiate an armistice with Sun Quan, and there seemed to be signs of peace in the world
"Cao Cao can't bear it, the spies came to report, last night Cao Cao sent Mao Jue to Jianye to find peace talks with King Wu, it seems that we have to speed up the progress, and take down the Tiger Prison Pass before Mao Jue arrives in Jianye, whether it is a battle or a battle with this pass, our army can be invincible," Guan Zheng said to the generals on the left and right with the wire newspaper sent by Gu Pianpian in his hand
"The soldiers of the Governor have been fighting repeatedly, and they are already a little overwhelmed physically, if they are dragged to attack the Tiger Prison Pass with their tired bodies, I am afraid that the casualties will be very large," Zhao Yun, who was dressed in a white robe, was a little worried, as he said, since the attack and defense of Yangping Pass, he fought all the way to Chang'an, Natong Pass, entered Hangu and captured Luoyang, and for nearly two months, these soldiers did not get a good rest, and many soldiers had blood blisters on their feet
"If we don't take this pass, after Cao Cao eases up, we can drive straight into the Tiger Prison, and at that time, all the efforts we have made before may be in vain, if Cao Jun is in the land battle, if we don't keep them out of the Tiger Prison Pass, once they flock to Luoyang, Chang'an, or even Liangzhou, we may gain and lose," Guan Zheng frowned, bent down on the map, and looked down on the road
"It's better to let someone lead the soldiers and horses of the headquarters to deceive the customs," Li Dian on the side got up and said to Guan Zheng when he saw this
"No, Cao Cao has been deceived by our army repeatedly, and it has already been arranged at this time, according to the spies, no matter whose troops want to enter the city in the future, they must have Cao Cao's military order in hand, otherwise, the defenders can kill him on the spot and be acquitted," Guan Zheng shook his head and whispered to Li Dian
"In this way, there is only one way to attack," Guan Yu stroked his beard, and the tiger's eyes were half-closed
"Post a notice to those soldiers who fought bravely in this battle, and those who took the lead will be rewarded with ten taels of silver, and those who are disabled by injuries will be rewarded with one silver tael, and those who sacrificed their lives for the war will be compensated with three hundred taels."
"Those who bravely take the lead will be rewarded with 10 taels, and those who are disabled by injuries will be rewarded with 100 taels, and those who die in battle will be rewarded with 300 taels." In the barracks, the soldiers surrounded the signs, and a special lieutenant read out the contents of the notices to them
"Ah Gui, you are all overseers, and you have a heavy reward, if you can take the lead in evaluating the few taels of silver that your family owes, you can pay it off."
"That's the courage to take the lead, isn't it the reward of these ten taels, and Wu Agui will definitely be able to get it?"
"Even if they are crippled and die, they don't have to worry about the family, and the three hundred taels of silver are enough for their mothers to have no worries about food and clothing," said the old soldier there, sharpening his blade
"Bah, bah, don't say these depressing words, we all have to come back alive," the more sophisticated soldier hurriedly rushed to the ground
"Good students, rest for two days, and after two days, it's time for you to die for Soochow," the captain who listened to the soldiers' discussions at the bottom and spoke to them as a commentator at the billboard
