At the same time, Zhuge Ke turned his back on the Lord and surrendered to the Western Tang Dynasty. Zhao Yun had more than 10,000 soldiers in Jiaozhou, and after a great increase in troops, he quickly divided his troops to take Jiaozhou, Wunan and other counties. The momentum of the Western Tang Dynasty, in a few months, can be described as overwhelming, out of control. If Zhao Yun really takes Jiaozhou and Wunan in the end, his momentum will be so great that he will approach today's largest country, 'Wei'. The situation of two heroes competing for hegemony and evenly matched is a foregone conclusion and is inevitable.

Let's talk about the battle of Wu County. Lu Su offered a plan to draw salary from the bottom of the kettle, and then there was Zhu Ran, a strange soldier, who successfully attacked the Wei army's Dazhai and burned more than half of the baggage. The Wei army was defeated, and the soldiers were lost, but fortunately, there were fierce generals such as Dian Wei, Xu Chu, Cao Zhang, Hao Zhao, and Sima Shi who fought to the death, as well as Cao Cao and Jia Xu, who made a quick decision and made allocations to stabilize the chaos in time. More than half of the troops were still preserved. Despite this, the Wei army did not have much baggage, and it was difficult to continue for a long time, and the morale of the soldiers in the army was low, and they fought for their lives repeatedly, and they were exhausted, and they all had the heart to return. Soochow successfully counterattacked and gained the upper hand. But Cao Cao is worthy of being the hero of the world and the overlord of the world, and now he has a plan to teach Cao Zhen to make peace. Sun Quan thought that Cao Cao was cowardly and secretly had a plan, so he agreed to make peace and taught Cao Cao to withdraw his troops as soon as possible. Cao Cao was overjoyed when he heard Sun Quan's promise, so he ordered Jia Xu to lead his troops into one army and prepare to retreat.

Let's look at the battle of Wu County, what the victory or defeat is. The two Wei armies were combined in one place, and that night Cao Cao ordered Jia Xu to lead the baggage first, secretly mixed with the wounded soldiers, and withdrew in batches. Jia Xu received the order, but before leaving, he said to Cao Cao.

"Your Majesty wants to fight with Sun Zhongmou and fight it out?"

When Cao Cao heard this, his fine eyes that seemed to be able to swallow the sky burst out with two rays of fine light, and he said with a smile.

"Haha!! I know I can't hide it from you, Jia Wenhe!! In Taifu's opinion, what are my chances of winning this time? ”

When Jia Xu heard this, his face sank, his eyes sparkled like snake eyes, and he bowed respectfully, and replied in a condensed voice.

"With all due respect, the Wu people are in full swing, and all the soldiers in our army have the heart to return, and they have also lost the soldiers in the past, and their morale has been frustrated, and Your Majesty's move is probably hitting a stone with an egg."

"Haha. In the Hebei War in the past, everyone in the world thought that I would be defeated by Yuan Benchu, but what happened later? ”

Cao Cao smiled again, narrowed his eyes, and Wang Wei burst out. When Jia Xu heard this, his heart was secretly surging, but he admired Cao Cao very much, and said in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty is naturally good if you have this determination. But this battle is more defeated and less victorious, less than three points of victory. Your Majesty is the Lord of the world, and you must not make any mistake. There are also two royal highnesses, and they must not be in danger. Your Majesty should think about retreating early, and the matter of marching and fighting should be handed over to the officers and soldiers in the army! ”

Cao Cao listened, shook his head and said sharply.

"Taifu's words are wrong! The reason why the officers and men of all armies dare to sacrifice their lives and forget their deaths and go into battle to fight is to make a name for themselves and return to their hometowns. No one is willing to die in vain. I am the king of a country, and if I were in the army, all the armies would think that they would win the battle, and they would fight bravely. If I had been timid, I would have withdrawn long ago. The morale of the armies will certainly be exhausted, but when they see that the battle situation is not good, they will each have their own thoughts and save themselves, and they will flee one after another. In this way, this battle will definitely be lost!! I started the great cause of Wu and spent national strength, and the soldiers were killed and wounded countless times, if they were defeated and returned, the previous achievements were wasted, and the Great Wei will be slumped at this point, so how can they resist the Western Tang Dynasty as the sun is in full swing!? ”

Jia Xu's face changed when he heard this, and he replied with a bow.

"Your Majesty is far-sighted, and the ministers are not as far-sighted!! I wish to live and die with Your Majesty!! ”

Cao Cao listened, but smiled faintly and said slowly to Jia Xu.

"Right now, I want to fight against Sun Zhongmou, and there is no need for strategy. Wen He has no power to restrain the chicken, and it is useless to stay here. You will take my order, send a group of wounded soldiers and baggage back to the first letter, and protect the way out first! ”

When Jia Xu heard this, he felt a pang in his heart, although Cao Cao said this, but looking at his fine eyes that exuded a bright glow, he had no intention of retreating at all. I'm afraid that Cao Cao has already made up his mind to fight Sun Quan to the death!

Jia Xu wanted to speak and stopped, but in the end he didn't persuade him, because he understood that once Cao Cao made up his mind, the world would be big, but no one could dissuade him. However, it is precisely because Cao Cao is so ambitious and courageous, and often at critical moments, he dares to fight desperately with the soldiers in danger and fights to the death, that Cao Cao can become the current general trend.

So, Jia Xu did as he was told. The next day, Sun Quan heard that the scouts were coming, and last night the Wei army repeatedly divided their troops and left. Sun Quan thought that Cao Cao would inevitably withdraw his troops, and he was overjoyed, so he immediately ordered to teach the army to prepare and prepare for the attack, but when the time came, he obeyed the order and fought to the death with Wei Kou! Lu Meng, Zhu Ran and other generals agreed one after another, gearing up and full of fighting spirit, just waiting to fight.

On the other side, in the Wei army Dazhai. Cao Cao summoned a group of soldiers in the tent, except for Dian Wei, who was seriously injured and was sent back to Shixin by Cao Cao, the rest of the soldiers came to the banquet one by one. I saw that in the tent, on the left were Cao Pi, Cao Zhang, Cao Zhen and other generals, and on the right were Xu Chu, Hao Zhao, Sima Shi, Chen Tai and other generals. Let's say that Chen Taiyi came to report day and night according to the order of Zhang Jaw, but he was still a step too slow. Cao Cao did not get angry, but appreciated Chen Tai's martial bravery and left him under his tent to obey orders. At this moment, Cao Cao's face sank, and he suddenly asked the generals.

"Are you going to die!?"

As soon as Cao Cao's words came out, all the generals got up one after another and hurriedly replied in unison.

"I am willing to smear His Majesty's liver and brain to the ground and work with death!!"

"Haha. Although you say so, your heart is different. There are people who dare to sacrifice for the sake of all-righteousness. Some people are willing to fight for their lives for the sake of fame. But if I say that I am not afraid of death, I do not believe it. ”

Cao Cao laughed loudly, and when the generals listened, they all changed color and wanted to speak. However, Cao Cao said first.

"Ladies and gentlemen, don't be impatient. You are loyal to me, and I have no doubts. I don't just talk about things. In this regard, I am more dead than you wait. ”

The generals listened to Cao Cao's words, and they listened attentively. Cao Cao glanced around at everyone, and then continued in a deep voice.

"However, although I am dead, I know that I have a heavy responsibility in the world, and it has been a troubled time for decades. The people of China have been suffering from the war for a long time, and they all hope that the country will be unified as soon as possible and usher in a peaceful and prosperous era. I received Zen in the dedication of Emperor Liu Xie, ascended to the great treasure, and created the Great Wei. Now Shu Han was destroyed by the Western Tang Dynasty, and the national strength has increased greatly, and the power is so great that it is close to the Great Wei. This time, I raised hundreds of thousands of troops, spent countless money and food, and crusaded against Eastern Wu. If the success falls short, there is the Western Tang Dynasty in the north and the Eastern Wu in the south, and the Great Wei will be at war until now, and my people will be in the midst of water and fire. Every time I think of this, I am heartbroken, and I would rather die than suffer such a disaster!!

Therefore, I hope to fight against the water, live and die with all the Qing families, and fight to the death with Wu thieves to the end, success or failure, all from the destiny of heaven. I at least have a clear conscience!! Would you like to go with you!? ”

As soon as Cao Cao's words came out, the generals were not only stunned, but also moved in their hearts. Xu Chu gritted his teeth, stared at the monster, and shouted in a hurry.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, the last general would rather be buried here, and he will also fight with Wu thieves to burn jade!" Fight before the battle, Your Majesty doesn't need to worry too much, and withdraw first, and wait for me to wait for the good news!! ”

As soon as Xu Chu's words fell, Cao Pi also said with a worried face.

"What Huhou said is extremely true. My father is the lord of the world, how can I get involved in danger!! The child is willing to go to the war!! ”

"The child is also willing to go with the royal brother!!"

Cao Zhang's eyes were shining with golden light, and he shouted. Hao Zhao, Sima Shi, Cao Zhen and other generals came to persuade one after another, all of them deliberately implored Cao Cao to retreat to the back line and wait for the good news. Suddenly, Cao Cao's momentum burst out, and the power of the emperor surged like an angry wave, and he shouted loudly.

"As you said, I am the king of a country, and now is the autumn of the country's survival, if I don't go, who will be willing to go!? Needless to say, I want to personally lead the army and fight the Wu thief!! ”

Cao Cao's voice was like thunder, and he was mighty, and the majestic emperor made the generals can't help but be frightened. Cao Pi saw that his father had made up his mind, and his heart tightened, and he gave up.

"Although my father has the heart to fight with the Wu thief, I am afraid that the Wu thief will not come out easily."

Hearing this, Cao Cao smiled brightly and said slowly.

"Zihuan doesn't have to worry about this matter. I deliberately made peace with Sun Zhongmou before, which was to deliberately show weakness, and taught Sun Zhongmou to think that I was cowardly and intended to withdraw the army and return. At this time, Sun Zhongmou has promised to make peace, but he must be secretly preparing troops and horses, just waiting for me to withdraw the army, and attack in a big way!! ”

When Cao Pi heard this, he suddenly woke up, his eyes widened, and then he realized that Cao Cao had a plan. Xu Chu listened, and suddenly burst out of war, and shouted.

"Wow!! These Wu thieves really dare to come, I will kill them this time without leaving a piece of armor, and I will be ashamed of the snow!! ”

Xu Chu finished speaking. Hao Zhao's expression sank, and he said with concern.

"But now the Wu thief has won a big victory, our army has been defeated before, and there are many losses, and the morale is low, I am afraid that it is not the enemy of the Wu thief."

"Hmph, Hao Bodao, what you said is simply to grow the morale of others and destroy your own prestige!! The so-called soldiers will block, and the water will cover the earth!! As many thieves as Wu comes, I Xu Zhongkang will kill as many as I can!! ”

Xu Chu snorted coldly, his strange eyes widened, and he shouted loudly. Hao Zhao was drunk like this by Xu Chu, but he didn't back down, and said quickly.

"Huhou's words are wrong. The stakes are high in this battle, and we must win and not lose. Otherwise, the consequences are unimaginable. Huhou relies on blood and courage alone, but I am afraid that he has missed a big event!! ”

"You!!"

When Xu Chu heard this, he was immediately angry. It can be known that Xu Chu is a favorite general under Cao Cao, and his reputation in the army is extremely high. In addition to Cao Cao, all the civil and military forces of the Great Wei gave him three points of thin noodles. Although Hao Zhao has been extremely active in recent years, whether it is identity, qualifications, or prestige, he cannot be compared with Xu Chu, but now Hao Zhao dares to commit a crime and refute Xu Chu's face, how can Xu Chu not be angry!

"Don't be impatient. I listened to what Bo Dao said, and it was very reasonable. ”

When Xu Chu heard this, his face twitched, and he forcibly suppressed his anger. Hao Zhao looked overjoyed, and then said sharply.

"Your Majesty is aware of everything, and this matter should be considered in the long run!"

Before Hao Zhao finished speaking, Cao Cao suddenly changed his words and interrupted.

"But! At this time, the situation is already overwhelming, and I have taught Taifu to withdraw the baggage to the first letter, and the food in the army can only last for five days! And Sun Zhongmou and a group of Wu soldiers hated me to the core, so they waited for me to order the withdrawal of the army, and then came to fight. What's more, Lu Boyan and Zhuge Kongming are leading the army to attack Dongfu, relying on Zhang Junyi and Sima Zhongda, the code is more than enough, but it is not enough. Even if I was able to escape back to Shixin, once the soldiers in Dongfu learned of the defeat of Wu County, they would inevitably lose every inch and be in chaos. Now, the situation is bound to be even more precarious! In fact, thinking about the future will only delay the fighter. This time, I want to rely on the courage of blood and blood to lead the three armies and fight the Wu people for a decisive victory!! ”

When Hao Zhao heard this, his body trembled, his mind was spinning, he had only made a plan, and after thinking about it carefully, he knew that the situation was dangerous and unpredictable. Cao Zhang, who has been silent, seems to understand the truth and surrenders his hand.

"The father has already made up his mind, and the child is willing to die with it!!"

"I'm willing to die!!"

As soon as Cao Zhang's voice fell, Xu Chu, Cao Pi, Sima Shi, Cao Zhen, Chen Tai and others echoed one after another. Hao Zhao's expression tightened, but he was not a rat who was afraid of death, so he echoed it. Cao Cao was overjoyed and laughed loudly.

"Hahaha!! Good!! Unexpectedly, all of you have a decision, pass on my order, teach all the troops to make preparations, slowly withdraw the army from now on, and prepare to fight to the death with the Wu thief in three days!! ”

The generals received orders one after another, and then they retreated and informed their subordinates of the deployment. So, Cao Cao rose up that night and withdrew seven or eight miles away. The next day, Wu Jun scouted and came to report to Sun Quan. When Sun Quan heard that Cao Cao's army had moved, he wanted to start an army to fight.
