Chapter 36: Out of the City Overnight
The last general acted without authorization, suffered a great defeat, and asked the general to punish the crime!
Wuyin County Ya, Cao Ren's temporary command post, Le Jin and Li Dian knelt on one knee, and reported their fists to Cao Ren and Cao Ang with both hands!
After Le Jin and Li Dian finished speaking, Cao Ang also walked to the two of them, bent down and bowed to Cao Ren to report boxing, general, the last general is the main general of the reinforcements, General Wen Qian and General Man Cheng also acted at the orders of the last general to suffer this defeat, the last general needs to bear the main responsibility, the general still punishes the last general!
…………!
At this time, it was about three o'clock in the unitary hour, the sky was getting dark, and the battle with the coalition army during the day had also ended with the defeat of the coalition army! Cao Ang, Le Jin, and Li Dian are talking about yesterday's battle!
Today's battle between Dian Wei and Huang Zhong, although many changes have occurred in the middle, Dian Wei is indeed defeated by Liu Pan and Huang Zhong in a row, and the morale of Cao Jun is also deliberately rendered by Cao Ren, Cao Ang and other Cao Jun generals to climb to the top!
As the so-called elimination of one and the other, although the coalition forces also feel that Huang Zhong's defeat is a little incredible, however, victory is victory, defeat is defeat, even though Huang Zhong was not killed by Dian Wei, but defeat is an indisputable fact, Cao Jun's morale is high, the morale of the coalition army will naturally decline, Cao Ren, as a battlefield general, how can he give up such a good opportunity?
Immediately, Cao Ren, Cao Ang, Le Jin and other generals of the Cao army led 5,000 Cao troops with high morale out of the city and fought a big battle with the coalition army!
Although Zhang Xiu and Liu Pan hurriedly commanded the coalition army to fight, how could they resist the low morale of the coalition army, how to resist the wolf-like Cao army, and left the corpses of nearly a thousand coalition soldiers and left!
Yesterday, the Cao army suffered nearly 3,000 casualties, the loss was not small, and the morale was also very low, but yesterday the army was newly defeated, and the coalition army was waiting on the side, Cao Ren and Cao Ang did not mention this matter in order to avoid further demoralization, and now the Cao army has just defeated the coalition army under the city, and the morale has also recovered.
…………!
Seeing Cao Ang and the three of them like this, Cao Ren's face was serious, and he muttered for a moment and said, let's wait for a moment to get up first, the lord often says that victory and defeat are common things in soldiers, and yesterday's battle is not a crime of war, even if it is a general, he may also be tricked, so don't mention this matter again, concentrate on dealing with the war behind!
Cao Ren's words are not false, yesterday evening, Cao Ang, Guo Jia, Le Jin and others told Cao Ren about the truth of this matter one by one!
Cao Ren also understood Cao Ang and Le Jin's thoughts, although things did not develop as either of the two expected, but because of this, the two of them could not be denied, and Cao Ren could imagine that whether it was Cao Ang or Le Jin, as long as one of them got what they wanted, Cao Jun could reduce a lot of casualties, and even not only could they repel the coalition forces, but maybe they could really take Nanyang!
…………!
Checkmate......!
When Cao Ang heard this, he knew that Cao Ren was deliberately suppressing this matter, but he didn't speak, and Li Dian was as silent as Cao Ang, but Le Jin still looked ashamed and embarrassed, and he wanted to say something more!
Seeing that Le Jin was like this, Cao Ren waved his hand and said, Wen Qian don't want to say it again, failure is not terrible, the important thing is to learn from it and then defeat the enemy, if Wen Qian is not angry, he will kill it again when he fights with the coalition forces next time!
After Cao Ren finished speaking, Le Jin didn't insist, got up and stood aside!
Cao Ren looked around at everyone and said in a deep voice, failure as a soldier is not terrible, but as a soldier, you must not lose your blood, no battle on the battlefield is 100% defeatable, if the leading generals are afraid of failure and refuse to fight for opportunities, and the soldiers are afraid of the battle, in this way, it is absolutely impossible to defeat the enemy, and failure is nothing more than a matter of time!
After Cao Ren finished speaking, everyone was silent, Cao Ang looked around, coughed lightly and said, the lord does not need to wait for you to win a hundred battles, because there is no general in this world, the lord needs to wait for shame and bravery, and you need to learn from the defeat to defeat those who have defeated you, when the lord sword is pointed, the lord needs to wait for what he wants!
I am willing to die for the Lord, and what the Lord's sword refers to is what we want ......!
After Cao Ang finished speaking, all the Cao Jun generals in the hall immediately clenched their left hands into fists and shouted loudly!
Cao Ren looked at Yan Cao Ang, his face was surprised, but he didn't say anything, and then turned his head to everyone, there is still a tough battle to fight with the coalition army next, so let's go down and rest first!
Everyone agreed, turned around and walked away one by one, and after everyone went out, there were only four people in the room, Cao Ren, Cao Ang, Guo Jia, and full of favors!
Cao Ren first glanced at Guo Jia, and then looked at Cao Angdao, Zi Xiu really plans to go out of the city?
Yes, General! Not only does the last general plan to go out of the city in search of opportunities, but he also wants to leave now!
Man Zhong looked at the stains on Cao Ang's face that had not yet been wiped off during the day, what the eldest prince thought was not something that could be completed in a hurry, but it was not in a hurry, and the eldest prince had not had a good rest so far, if he waited for the scouts to find out the situation before going out of the city, the eldest prince would also take advantage of this time to repair it!
…………!
It turned out that after yesterday's defeat, Cao Ang and Le Jin told Cao Ren what happened, and Cao Ang also wanted to go out of the city with the idea of knowing Cao Ren!
Cao Ren didn't agree at first, because Cao Ang was always Cao Cao's eldest son, if there was an accident, even if Cao Cao would not pursue it, Cao Ren didn't want this to happen, but after Cao Ren read a letter handed to him by Guo Jia, he agreed with Cao Ang's idea and provided Cao Ang with what he needed!
Cao Ang asked Cao Ren for a total of 1,000 Jingzhou soldiers' robes and leather armor! A thousand Cao Jun and dozens of Tiger Ben troops under his command!
Before Guo Jia came to Wuyin, Cao Cao had written two letters, one to Guo Jia and the other to Cao Ren.
Cao Cao's meaning is obvious, prepare 3,000 men and horses for Cao Ang, let Cao Ang lead the troops alone, and give Cao Ang the capital to grow! As for the other letter to Guo Jia, no one knows the content except Cao Cao and Guo Jia!
…………!
After Manzhong finished speaking, Guo Jia shook his head and said, Today's coalition army is newly defeated, morale is low, Zhang Xiu, Liu Pan and others are afraid that our army will rob the camp at night, so they will be fully prepared in the camp, in this way, they will reduce their observation of the city, and it will be more difficult for the coalition army to detect when we go out of the city overnight, and it will be more convenient to act next, and the possibility of success will also increase!
Guo Jia's words were discussed between Cao Ang and Guo Jia on the way here, yes, Guo Jia finished speaking, Cao Ang said again, yes, general, the coalition army must not have imagined that the end will be out of the city tonight, so that they can avoid the scout detection of the coalition army!
After listening to this, Cao Ren thought about it carefully, and said after a while, he just followed the words of the military master and Zixiu!
