Chapter 982: Evil Obstacles
Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Zhang Fei and others escaped from the Liangzhou military camp, and when they looked back, there were only more than 10,000 people left around them.
In the camp swept by the tongue of fire, countless dying and struggling figures flickered in front of their eyes; The terrible howl is still endless.
"Withdraw ......"
With a long sigh, Cao steered his horse forward and headed towards the east gate of Lu County; Liu Bei, Zhang Fei, Cao Ang and others also galloped to follow.
Gathering the remnants of the defeated generals all the way, when Cao Cao, Liu Bei and others came to the city, the east gate of Lu County was closed, and the head of the city was even more heavily guarded.
"Kaesong!"
Xu Chu rushed forward, raised his knife and pointed at the head of the city, and roared loudly.
"General Cao has an order, not to open the city easily."
A lieutenant at the head of the city replied very arrogantly, not taking Xu Chu in his eyes at all.
The 'General Cao' in the mouth of the lieutenant is naturally Cao Pi. Cao Cao, Liu Bei and others knew, and Xu Chu naturally knew it.
"DID YOU KNOW...... Under the city are the lord of Cao Meng and Liu Gong? The second son's general order, you dare not disobey, the military order of the alliance leader, you dare to disobey? ”
Xu Chu, who was holding back his anger, shouted angrily: "Open the city immediately and welcome the Lord of the Cao League and Liu Gong into the city." If you dare to disobey the orders of the alliance leader, military law will be involved. ”
"Ben will do what he is told, and he will not know anything else. Ben General is just a soldier, how dare he disobey the orders of the commander-in-chief? ”
The lieutenant was completely businesslike, "Besides, it's pitch black outside the city, and the general is not sure...... You are not the Liangzhou Army's earning soldiers. ”
This lieutenant is completely blind to talk, and the lights under the city are brilliant, like daylight, how can he not see clearly?
At this time, Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Xu Chu and others, if they can't hear some cats, then they are really stupid.
"You can see the bastard...... Who is Benhou? ”
Under the escort of the guards, Cao Cao galloped forward, came to the city, whipped at the head of the city, and shouted hatefully: "Where is Cao Zihuan's evil obstacle now?" Let that son of a son come to Ben Hou! ”
Cao Cao, who was in an embarrassed state, appeared under the city, his face was red from the fire, and the long hair under his chin became a short beard.
After hearing the murderous roar and seeing Cao Cao's appearance clearly, the captain was so frightened that he subconsciously looked to the side.
"Or ...... Kaesong ......"
Cao Pi, who was hiding behind the female wall, naturally heard the angry voice of his father Cao Cao, and under the fright, he also subconsciously looked to the side.
"Until now, you can't open the city!"
Sima Yi, who had a gloomy expression, stared straight at Cao Pi, his voice was gloomy, but this breath became more and more gloomy and ruthless, "Now, the general has offended the alliance leader!" If the city gate is opened, the general will not escape the responsibility and will not be able to turn back! ”
Between hesitation, Cao Pi tightened his eyebrows, and calculated something in his heart.
"General, what Zhong Da said is extremely true!
Once the city gate is opened, the first thing the alliance leader will do when he enters the city is to hold the general accountable and punish. ”
Seeing that Cao Pi was a little shaken, Hua Xin's expression was full of Hua Xin's solemnity, and his tone was full of solemn comfort: "Besides, when I was in the enemy camp before......
The general only cares about running for his life and leaving the alliance leader in a dangerous place, and the alliance leader will naturally not forget to pursue this matter!
The leader of the alliance is to look down on the important son, and despise the second son. Fang Cai, but the eldest prince stayed in the camp, compared with the two...... The leader of the alliance will not let go of the second son, you......"
"The safety of the alliance leader, don't worry about the second son!"
As soon as Hua Xin's words fell, Sima Yi hurriedly took over the conversation, and said with great understanding: "In the camp north of the city, there are still soldiers and horses stationed, and the alliance leader can't enter the city, so he will naturally go to the north camp to live temporarily."
"If it weren't for Zhongda and Ziyu's kind words and reminders, Pi would have almost missed a big event!"
Cao Pi, who suddenly came to his senses, looked at Sima Yi and Hua Xin with a grateful face, and after speaking, he whispered again, "Don't open the city!" All the consequences will be borne by Ben! ”
"General Cao is healing his wounds in the city......"
With the main general's promise, the captain was overjoyed, and his confidence increased a lot, "As the last general can see, the alliance leader should go to Beiying, the chasing soldiers of the Liangzhou Army are coming, but it's not good!" ”
Hearing what the captain said, Cao Cao was even more convinced, Cao Pi was at the head of the city, otherwise, how could this bastard captain come out with the words of "Beiying garrison"?
"Traitor, do you dare to disobey Benhou's military order?"
Cao Cao pointed at the head of the city, and scolded angrily, "Cao Zihuan, you are as bold as a mouse, you are in vain, when the catastrophe is coming, you only care about living secretly, are you still worthy of being a son of man?"
Cao Zihuan, if you still have a little courage, if you still have a little shame, get out early.
I'm Cao Mengde...... How can there be a son like you?
Cao Zihuan, are you trying to rebel?
Son, do you want to betray your father and join the enemy? ”
Cao Cao, who was full of hatred and anger, scolded for a long time, but Cao Pi did not show up.
"Second brother, open the city gate quickly......"
"Second brother, how can you turn your back on your father?"
Cao Ang, Cao Zhang, and Cao Zhi shouted and asked, but they couldn't get a response from Cao Pi.
Cao Cao, Cao Ang, father and son, under the unbearable hatred and anger, shouted and scolded again and again, but there was no trace of Cao Pi.
"Your Majesty, where is it?"
Clapping his horse forward, whipping at the head of the city, Liu Bei asked loudly.
"I don't know."
The lieutenant immediately replied.
"Mengde!"
With a sigh in his heart, holding back the anger rolling in his chest, Liu Bei said in a deep voice: "Right now, I can only go to Beiying to defend."
"What kind of evil is this......
Cao Cao, whose eyes were full of hatred, stared at the head of Lu County with hatred, and sighed in a hoarse voice.
"Lord, go back to Beiying!"
Guo Jia, who was embarrassed and had a withered face, sighed in a low voice.
"Alas......"
With a long sigh, Cao Cao glanced at the city head hatefully, and then galloped to Beiying.
"Hahaha...... It's finally gone! ”
Cao Pi, who was leaning against the women's wall, breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and his face was full of smiles.
Sima Yi and Hua Xin glanced at each other, and laughed in agreement, they were really afraid that Cao Pi would put Cao Cao into the city.
After Cao Cao, Liu Bei and the others returned to Beiying, they were busy arranging defenses and counting the soldiers in the camp.
After some statistics, the defeated army retreating from the east was only more than 30,000 people; The 40,000 people who went to the south and west of Lu County were almost wiped out.
At this time!
In the northern camp of the Cao-Liu coalition army, there were only more than 50,000 soldiers left.
In the city of Lu County, there are less than 40,000 available soldiers under Cao Pi's command.
Overnight, of the 160,000 soldiers and horses of the Cao-Liu coalition army, only more than 90,000 remained.
The fire in the Liangzhou military camp burned almost overnight, and it was not until the hour that it was slowly extinguished.
