Chapter 820: Cao Cao's Withdrawal (Part II)

As soon as Cao Cao's voice fell, Zhang Jaw also came to persuade him. At this time, Yang Xiu knew that Cao Cao was going to shock his might, so he pretended to cry bitterly and talked about his own sins. Cao Cao saw that he was crying really and thought that he would definitely restrain himself in the future, so he only punished him heavily, demoted him to his military position, and deprived him of three years' salary to set an example. Yang Xiu thanked him and retreated, but fortunately escaped and died, so far he cultivated his mind, restrained his arrogance, and did not dare to indulge in a little more.

Yang Xiu retreated, Cao Cao sighed in the tent, and said to Guo Jia and Zhang Jaw.

"Although Yang Xiu is indulgent, he does mean what I mean. At present, the battle situation in various parts of the northwest is falling behind, and our army has been fighting for nearly half a year, plus the time spent preparing for the battle, it has been a year since Wen Bufan was seriously injured. I heard that the doctors who treated Wen Bufan were Hua Yuanhua and Zhang Zhongjing, these two people had extraordinary medical skills, presumably Wen Bufan's injuries were stable at this time and would heal soon. At that moment, the Northwest Army's heart was shaken, and the momentum of the counteroffensive would be as strong as a raging storm.

Moreover, at the moment, Liu Xuande was able to break the Cai clan in Jingzhou and resist Sun Lang in Jiangdong, and the rapid rise of his momentum is really breathtaking!! It can be seen that Zhuge Kongming's wisdom is indeed as high as Jiang Ziya and Zhang Zifang. If you ignore it, you will definitely have endless troubles.

Therefore, I intend to stop the battle in the northwest first, take advantage of the chaos in Jingzhou, get rid of Liu Xuande urgently, and then plan for big things after occupying Jingzhou, I don't know what you think? ”

Zhang Jaw listened to Cao Cao's careful analysis, and after pondering for a while, he bowed his hand.

"The prime minister sees through the situation and sees which is more important, not because of the momentary anger, and the jaw is !! respected"

Cao Cao listened to the agreement, bowed slightly, and then looked at Guo Jia again. Guo Jia was silent, and when Cao Cao's eyes turned, Guo Jia let out a long sigh.

"If you withdraw your troops and retreat like this, you are really unwilling. But what the prime minister is worried about is indeed the most important thing at hand. Moreover, Wen Ruo previously issued a letter saying that due to the defeat in the northwest war in recent years, Cao Cao was injured and comatose before, and there are many unstable factors in the DPRK, and the prime minister needs to return to the DPRK as soon as possible to stabilize the situation!! ”

When Cao Cao heard this, his sky-swallowing eyes widened suddenly, and he shouted violently.

"This group of useless old thieves dares to take advantage of the situation to make trouble, and when my class teacher returns to the dynasty, he will teach him that life is better than death!!"

Cao Cao was furious, he tried to ask Emperor Han Xian that his benevolence and righteousness had been exhausted, and the emperor should have the dignity that Cao Cao gave all. However, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty was secretly plotting to overthrow his regime. As everyone knows, if there is no Han minister named Cao Cao, he will sit in the Han Dynasty. This so-called Han world has long been subverted among the princes everywhere. Cao Cao fought everywhere, for the imperial court to destroy the rebellious ministers and rebel against the party, recapture the Han land, its momentum is so prosperous, the emperor can be abolished and ascended to the throne of the Son of Heaven.

Although Cao Cao was accused by the world of being the hero of the world, who knew that Cao Cao was extremely loyal to the Han Dynasty in his bones. If Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty had the ability to stabilize the situation in the world, Cao Cao would not say a word and voluntarily return it to Sheji. But the fact is that Emperor Han Xian is weak and incompetent, and his courtiers are all sanctimonious, if he is allowed to control the social system, Cao Cao will spend half a lifetime of hard work, and within three years, it will inevitably be ruined!!

With the passage of time, Cao Cao's momentum is getting bigger and bigger, taking Xuzhou, leveling Yuan Shu, defeating Yuan Shao, holding the land wide, enough to have half of the country. Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty was extremely jealous of Cao Cao, and he was afraid that Cao Cao would kill him and seize the throne by force. As Cao Cao's power became larger and larger, many of his advisers persuaded him to abolish the emperor and ascend the throne. Cao Cao was severely reprimanded at the beginning, and over time, he saw that Emperor Han Xian had no ambition and no ability to rule the world, and wanted the people of the world to suffer from the troubled times.

Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty noticed that Cao Cao was gradually changing, and he did not want to sit idly by, and secretly allied with some bureaucrats in the court. But the court, no matter how big or small the officials, all have Cao Cao's eyeliner in their mansions, and how can Emperor Han Xian's secret actions be concealed from Cao Cao. Although Cao Cao was angry, he was still unwilling to investigate this and blindly connived.

At this moment, Cao Cao never imagined that his connivance with Emperor Han Xian would have a bad effect at this time. Cao Cao couldn't bear it, so he made up his mind on the same day, and the class teacher returned to the court, wanting to wash some potential harm of the imperial court in blood!

That night, Cao Cao discussed with Guo Jia and Zhang Jaw about the withdrawal of the army, and the plan was settled, so he ordered the generals to make preparations as soon as possible.

The next day, Cao Cao suddenly ordered Xu Chu to lead an elite army to fight under the Tiger Prison Pass. He also ordered Zhang Jaw and Li Dian to lead two teams of soldiers and horses to set up an ambush on the hillside five miles behind the village. Xu Chu led the army out of the camp, at the same time, Cao Cao and Yu Ban and other generals led most of the men and horses, escorting grain, grass, baggage, siege equipment and other materials to withdraw from the camp, looking at Luoyang and retreating.

However, it was said that Xu Chu led his troops to kill the Tiger Prison Pass, and Guan Yu of the Northwest Army had already reported to him. Cao Jun did not move for many days, and Xu Chu suddenly came to kill, and his intentions were unknown. Guan Yu immediately urgently mobilized an army, set up a position under the pass, and prepared to fight. Xu Chu led the army to rush in, and also set up a formation, and the two formations were in a circle. Xu Chu slapped his horse and rushed out, shouting at Guan Yu to fight. Guan Yu's injuries had not healed, Zhang Liao was afraid that he would be injured and went into battle, so he rushed to kill first, lifted Fang Tian's halberd, and flew his horse and shouted.

"Cao's sick tiger is presumptuous!! What kind of person is Guan Gong of my family, how can you be offended by the likes of the three indiscriminate!? ”

Xu Chu was furious when he heard this, and his muscles swelled with anger, and his tiger eyes burst out with terrifying and fierce light, that is, he drove a horse and a knife to kill Zhang Liao. Zhang Liao's flying horse soared, approaching Xu Chu, and lifted the halberd, like a silver lightning, sweeping towards Xu Chu. Xu Chu struggled to pick up the tiger tooth knife and slashed it down.

There was a loud 'bang', which shook the faces of the two sergeants. Zhang Liao hurriedly returned to Fang Tian to draw the halberd, swung the halberd and slashed, Xu Chu raised the knife and blocked, and Zhang Liao killed more than ten rounds. Zhang Liao's sword eyes burst out with murderous aura, Fang Tian's halberd was like gathering bloody blood, and the halberd style suddenly changed, and the bloody Yan Overlord Halberd method was cast.

Fang Tian's painting halberd suddenly moved, swallowing all directions, dominating all sides. Xu Chu's face changed continuously, the knife style gradually became messy, Zhang Liao took advantage of the situation to attack, and killed Xu Chu for more than a dozen rounds, and the 'tiger idiot' Xu Chu was killed by Zhang Liao and retreated. Zhang Liao chased after him, and Guan Yu was overjoyed and hurriedly ordered the army to press and cover up. Xu Chu Chili fled back into the formation, the crossbowmen in the formation saw Zhang Liao's murderous killing, they had already prepared, and shot arrows, Zhang Liao hurriedly drew the halberd to resist, and when he came back to his senses, Xu Chuyin had already led his troops to evacuate. Zhang Liao quickly chased after him, and Guan Yu led the army to rush behind, waiting for five or six miles of pursuit. Guan Yu didn't see most of Cao's army coming to help for a long time, and he suspected that there was fraud, so he ordered most of the soldiers and horses to slow down and beware of ambushes, and hurriedly sent someone to order Zhang Liao to lead a fast cavalry to investigate. Zhang Liao ordered a group of men and horses to slowly chase after Xu Chu. All the way behind, chasing Xu Chu until Cao Jun Dazhai.

Zhang Liao saw from afar that the vast Cao army camp was empty and silent, and the flag was planted in vain, and his face suddenly changed, and he hurriedly sent someone to report back to Guan Yu. When Guan Yu learned about it, he suddenly realized that the Cao army must have withdrawn when he saw that the battle situation was unfavorable repeatedly, and Xu Chu's troops came to the Tiger Prison Pass to plunder the battle, but it was just a cover for the retreat of the Cao army.

Guan Yu must have been anxious to make the army immediately press the pursuit, but Xu Huang, who was in the formation at this time, persuaded in a condensed voice.

"Second brother is slow, Cao Cao is like a god with soldiers, if he has the intention of retreating, wouldn't he prepare early. If we rush to pursue, we will be ambushed, and we need to be cautious!! ”

Guan Yu suffered a setback before, Xu Huang's reminder immediately became a little cautious, and sent someone to report to Zhang Liao to investigate carefully. Zhang Liao received the order, so he continued to chase and kill Xu Chu, while also paying attention to the surrounding terrain.

When he was young, Zhang Liao chased to a hillside, Xu Chu suddenly ordered the soldiers to speed up, Zhang Liao saw that Xu Chu was about to go away, but he did not pursue impatiently, the sword eyes condensed the brilliance, and saw that there were many dangerous places on the hillside, and it was suspected that there was an ambush. Zhang Liao quickly sent someone back to report, and the whole army waited in front of the hillside.

Zhang Jaw, who was in an ambush on the hillside, saw Zhang Liao's troops, suddenly stopped, and instantly expected that he must have seen the ambush of his own army, lest he report back to most of the northwest soldiers and horses, and immediately made a decision and ordered the whole army to attack. Zhang Liao heard the sound of killing on the left, and when he saw that there was an ambush, he hurriedly shook his spirit and commanded the soldiers to prepare to attack.

Zhang Jaw shot and killed, Zhang Liao just met it, and there was a cannon sound on the right, Li Dian waved his army to kill, and the two Cao armies attacked and killed, Zhang Liao had very few troops, and he couldn't resist it, leading hundreds of light horsemen to flee. Zhang Jaw and Li Dian did not dare to fight, and they also led their respective deployments and evacuated quickly.

By the time Zhang Liao rushed to most of Guan Yu's men and horses, and when the combined army came, Cao's soldiers and horses had already fled ten miles away. Guan Yu Danfeng's eyes glowed with a terrifying cold light, and he paused for a while in the same place, his eyes shot in the direction of Luoyang, and he muttered in his mouth.

"Cao Mengde one day ago, my northwest army will kill Luoyang, overturn the Central Plains, help my third brother Wen Bufan, and achieve the great cause of overlordship!"

After Guan Yu finished speaking, Le Ma turned around and ordered the troops to withdraw to the Tiger Prison Pass. When Guan Yu returned to the Tiger Prison Pass, at the same time, Xi Long had received good news from Bingzhou and Dongchuan, and knew that Gao Shun and Zhao Yun had broken the army and defeated the enemy.

Xi Long led the generals in the pass to greet Guan Yu, and after Shi Li, Xi Long said first.

"If Long's guess is correct, Cao Cao will definitely withdraw at this time. I don't know, but so? ”

Guan Yu was slightly startled and sighed.

"The military advisor did not expect the prophet, and it is really a god and a man!"

"No, the reason why Long expected this was because of the good news sent by the two generals Gao and Zhao from Bingzhou and Dongchuan."

Xi Long smiled modestly, then took out two battle reports and handed them to Guan Yu. Guan Yu was overjoyed, so he took the battle report, hurriedly opened it to see, and was overjoyed after reading it, and laughed nonstop.

At this point, with the concerted efforts of all the military generals and ministers in the northwest, planning and planning to fight and fight, the northwest war in Bingzhou, Hanoi, and Dongchuan finally came to an end. Cao Cao lost nearly 80,000 troops, but he could not take half an inch of land in the northwest, and retreated to Luoyang in a hurry. This matter spread one after another, and the people of the world were shocked, knowing that the reason why the northwest is prosperous today is not only by the power of Wen Bufan, who is known as the champion Hou Zaishi, but by a group of outstanding talents under his command.

Cao Cao withdrew his troops and retreated to Luoyang, so he asked the soldiers of the army to wear decrepit clothes and return in tears. When Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty heard that Cao Cao had returned, he was frightened and panicked, and taught the Tao left and right, and led hundreds of officials out of the city to greet him in an emergency, so as to show the heart of the Son of Heaven respecting Cao Xiang. Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty heard that it was reasonable, so Pai Luan drove out of Guo to greet him.

At the right time, it is a cold winter, and the weather is cold. Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty and hundreds of officials of the imperial court waited for a long time, but they still did not see Cao Cao's army. The surrounding bureaucrats shivered from the cold, and secretly complained bitterly. Emperor Han Xian was even more chilly, but his face did not change, and he was waiting, and the officials persuaded Emperor Han Xian to return to the palace and wait.

Suddenly, countless bureaucrats who secretly invested in the Cao family secretly looked over. Emperor Xian of Han was furious and scolded angrily.

"Presumptuous!! The prime minister is an important minister of the country, and he is the Han Dynasty of China, and he does not hesitate to fight on the front line. As the Son of Heaven, I can't share weal and butter with Cao Aiqing and fight bloodily. It's just a little cold now, how can I be as afraid as a tiger, if Cao Aiqing learns, won't it chill his heart!! ”

After Emperor Han Xian finished drinking, no one dared to persuade him anymore. Those Cao bureaucrats heard it and secretly sneered.

When he was young, the wails came, the crying shook the earth, and a Cao army, all dressed in white clothes, came in a neat formation. When the hundred officials of the court heard this wail, their faces changed drastically. It can be seen that earlier, Cao Cao was shot by Xu Huang and was seriously injured, and they all thought to themselves, could it be that Cao Cao had died!?

Emperor Han Xian's heart was ecstatic, thinking that this traitor was finally punished by heaven, and tears of joy couldn't help but fall. At this time, Xiahou stared at the tiger and looked at Emperor Han Xian, who was so frightened that he suddenly broke his heart and suddenly wailed.

"Heaven is unfair!! Can you know who is a strong man who sacrificed heroically for the country!!? ”

Uncle Dong Chengsu was beside him and shouted to the left and right.

"Quick Probe !!"

Listen left and right, and ride away on a fast horse. Immediately after a terrifying silence, Luoyang City was silent. I don't know how long it took, Dian Wei's face was extremely cold, and he personally led a fine horse to report.

"The prime minister's merits are immeasurable, a few days ago, the world was full of divine light, the heavens and the earth changed color, thousands of birds flew together, and dragons and phoenixes sang together. There is a god in the sky, please respect the spirit of the prime minister and return to heaven! The prime minister received the mandate of heaven, fearing the disaster of rebellion, so he accepted it and ascended to heaven! Leave a pair of respectful shells, and be worshiped by the people of the world! ”

Dian Wei was Cao Cao's confidant, and at this time he personally rushed to report the funeral, and immediately hundreds of officials in the court, including Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, believed it. The officials changed color one after another, some mourning and some joyful, but they all cried bitterly. Especially Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, he cried to the ground, in pain, and the officials persuaded him more than once. I only heard Emperor Han Xian glaring at the sky angrily, scolding and drinking.

"There is no way in the sky!!! Now the world is in trouble, the country will not be the country, I am fortunate to be assisted by Cao Aiqing, to calm the chaos in Kyushu, seeing that the world is about to be unified, why do you forcibly seize the pillar of our country!! This is indeed the misfortune of the country, and the misfortune of the people of the world!! ”
