After nightfall, the fire shines on the castle tower of Wuyin County. (）

A figure swayed in the light of the fire, and the people and soldiers alike gathered the corpses and cleaned up the battlefield. Zhang Liao sat on the city tower, he did not relax, and still maintained a high degree of vigilance.

Outside the city, the camp of the Cao army was brightly lit.

Cao Cao, Sima Lang, Man Chong, Liu Ye and others sat on the ground around the fire. Cao Cao's face was solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "The small Wuyin County has not been able to be attacked for a long time, and Zhang Liao has good means." ”

Xiahoudun said: "It's the people of Wuyin County who are powerful, otherwise they would have taken it a long time ago." ”

Cao Cao shook his head slightly, disagreeing with Xiahoudun's words. The people of Wuyin County were able to fight desperately, which was Zhang Liao's efforts, so it was all Zhang Liao's credit.

Sima Lang opened his mouth and said: "My lord, there is only one and a half days of dry food left in the army, and if it is still frustrated tomorrow, the high morale of the army will definitely collapse." ”

Man Zhong continued: "My lord, there is a lack of food in the army, and you can still endure it." As long as the soldiers' rations for one and a half days become three days' rations, it will be enough to support our return to Yuzhou. ”

Nothing can be done, and the full pet immediately suggested retreating.

Cao Ang thought for a moment and said, "Father, the child agrees with Mr. Berning's suggestion. ”

Cao Cao looked at Liu Ye and asked, "Ziyang, what do you think?" ”

Liu Ye sighed and said helplessly: "Lord, Ye also agrees with the suggestions of the prince and Berning. Although we have left Xiangyang, we still have to consider whether Wang Can will send troops to help Wuyin County, once Wang Can sends troops to help, we must retreat. At that time, both time and food were wasted, and Wuyin County had not yet been captured, and the situation was even more complicated. ”

"Da! Da!! ”

In the distance of the camp, a scout came galloping on horseback.

After the scout dismounted, he ran to Cao Cao, knelt on the ground and clenched his fists and said: "Qi Wei Wang, Wang Can has personally commanded the army to gallop to Wuyin County, please make a decision." ”

Cao Cao opened his mouth and asked, "How long will it take for Wang Can to arrive in Wuyin County?" ”

The scout replied, "If the Shu army rushes overnight, it will be able to arrive in Wuyin County early tomorrow morning." If the Shu army rests at night, it will be able to arrive in Wuyin County tomorrow afternoon. The scout estimated in detail the time when Wang Can arrived in Wuyin County for Cao Cao to choose.

When Cao Cao heard this, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and his expression changed.

Unexpectedly, Wang Can chased after him again.

Seeing Cao Cao's hesitation, Man Chong persuaded: "My lord, we have the support of Yangzhou and Yuzhou, as long as we leave Jingzhou, we can immediately supply grain and grass, replenish ordnance, recruit soldiers, and easily send troops to attack Wang Can." Now let Wang Can be arrogant for a while, and then ask for it back after the army returns to Yuzhou. ”

Cao Ang pursed his lips with a solemn expression.

This time, they really planted a big heel.

Cao Cao was silent for a long time, and said helplessly: "Okay, let's withdraw to Yuzhou overnight." As he spoke, Cao Cao's voice became hoarse, his expression disappointed, and his face was full of unwilling expressions. He was defeated by Wang Can in Xiangyang, and he wanted to take Wuyin County to regain face, but in the end he was like a clown, jumping up and down for most of the day, and had to give up Wuyin County.

All this made Cao Cao hate in his heart.

Suddenly, Cao Cao's brows furrowed, and a painful expression appeared on his face. He held his head tightly with both hands, and felt as if his head had been pierced by a sharp hairpin, and the pain was incomparable.

"Ho! Ho!! ”

Cao Cao gritted his steel teeth, trying to suppress the pain as much as possible and not let himself make a sound. Rao was so, the sharp pain still made Cao Cao unbearable, and a low roar came out of his throat.

The pain was deep, Cao Cao's eyes were about to split, and the corners of his eyes were about to burst.

This change frightened Cao Ang at a loss, and the strategists around him were also worried.

Manzhong settled down and immediately sent someone to find the medical officer in the army.

The medical officer squatted down beside Cao Cao, carefully questioned, and finally had nothing to do. Cao Ang was angry in his heart, and shouted: "Idiot, you can't even cure your father's illness, what do you want?" Drag it down and kill it! ”

The medical officer was so frightened that his legs weakened, and he knelt on the ground and kowtowed and begged for mercy.

Man Chong persuaded: "Shizi, everyone is worried about the lord, and the medical officer is not not doing his best, his ability is limited!" ”

Cao Ang heard the meaning of Manzhong's words, and waved his hand impatiently: "Get out!" Cao Ang stretched out his hand to support Cao Cao and asked with concern, "Father, how is it, are you better?" ”

However, Cao Cao's headache continued.

The ministers of civil and military affairs in the army were in a mess, but there was no way at all.

A quarter of an hour later, Cao Cao's headache slowly disappeared.

After Cao Cao recovered, his face was pale, his eyes were bloodshot, his whole person looked very tired, and Cao Cao's forehead was covered with beads of sweat the size of beans. He forced a smile to himself, waved his hand and said, "It's an old problem, it's okay to hurt for a while." ”

Cao Ang, Liu Ye, Xiahoudun, Xu Chu and others were worried, but they were still very worried.

Cao Cao continued: "Xiahoudun, order the army to hurry overnight and withdraw to Yuzhou. ”

"No!"

Xiahoudun clenched his fists and immediately went to carry out the order.

Tens of thousands of Wei troops left Wuyin County overnight and headed for Yuzhou. The movement of the Wei army reached Zhang Liao's ears, and Zhang Liao's face showed a suspicious look on his face, and he asked, "Did Cao Cao really retreat, not a fake retreat?" ”

The scout nodded and said, "That's true, the Wei army has really withdrawn." ”

Zhang Liao pondered for a while and ordered: "The news will be suppressed for the time being, and it will be announced early tomorrow morning." ”

The scout looked at Zhang Liao in bewilderment, but listened to Zhang Liao continue: "Although the news found said that Cao Cao led his troops away, everything is unknown and unpredictable. When the news is opened, the people and soldiers will relax their vigilance and are prone to accidents. Wait and announce tomorrow to avoid surprises. ”

The scout nodded in response, a look of admiration in his eyes.

……

Early the next morning, news of Cao Cao's departure spread.

On the tower of the city, waves of cheers rang out. Not only did the soldiers who defended the city laugh loudly, but the people who remained on the towers also shouted and rejoiced.

Wuyin County is finally safe.

For the people in the city and the defenders of Wuyin County, their hearts have always hung in the air, fearing that Cao Cao will lead the army to break through the city gate of Wuyin County. Now that Cao Cao took the initiative to leave, the people and the defenders were completely relieved. However, while the people outside the city were cheering, one of the defenders shouted, "Look, there is a great army coming from outside the city." ”

The laughter stopped abruptly.

Quiet! Quiet! Quiet!

There was silence on the towers, save for the beating of the heart and the faint sound of breathing.

The people looked forward to it, carefully watching the vaguely black and oppressive army outside the city, and the expressions on their faces froze, looking very nervous. Especially as the army outside the city got closer and closer, their hearts hung even more.

Could it be that Cao Cao is back again?

Zhang Liao stood on the city tower and looked into the distance. When the army outside the city could be vaguely recognized, the solemn expression on Zhang Liao's face disappeared instantly, and he shouted instead: "The King of Shu is here, it's reinforcements, it's reinforcements!" The shout was particularly cordial, spreading among the soldiers and civilians. The eyes of the people who had just been stiff widened and a smile of joy appeared on their faces.

At this moment, the city tower once again resumed laughter and shouting.

"Long live the King of Shu!"

I don't know who was the first to shout, and then one after another the people roared loudly.

"Long live the King of Shu! Long live the King of Shu!!! ”

The roar of cheers resounded through the heavens and the earth, echoing incessantly in and around the city.

The people and soldiers unified their voices and chanted 'Long live the King of Shu', expressing their joy and excitement in their hearts in this way. Wang Can's arrival lifted the spirits of all the soldiers.

Wang Can led the army to quickly approach Wuyin County, and after he heard the roar coming from the city, he unconsciously showed a smile on his face. Everyone likes to listen to good words, especially the deafening sound coming from the front, which is very shocking.

Pang De followed beside him, secretly saying that Zhang Liao was so powerful that he actually made such a play.

Zhang Xiu's eyes kept rolling, and he was even thinking in his heart that if he took charge of a party in the future, when Wang Can appeared, he would also make a grand scene.

In fact, this was not deliberately created by Zhang Liao, but by the people.

Because Wang Can came, Cao Cao retreated, and they were safe.
