This is no small thing!

Since Cao Cao established his power, there has never been so many soldiers of the formation who fled to the local camp en masse, and after the war, Cao Cao and they already knew that Jin Hou, the general of Liu Beifang's thousand-strong army, was actually a teenager much younger than Xiahou Shang, and more importantly, this young man had also been a small guard beside Jin Jue, who had always regarded Cao Cao as an enemy of the heavens.

Unheard of, unseen!

Later, after the end of the Third Battle of Xuzhou, Cao Cao did not blame the fledgling Xiahou Shang after learning about this incident, but gathered his generals and military advisors together, focusing on this desertion incident and the amazing performance of Jin Hou in Liu Bei's army in this battle.

discussed and discussed, and in the end, Xun Yu bluntly pointed out the reason.

First, when dealing with the soldiers who had surrendered to Liu Bei's army, Xiahou Shang did not treat them cautiously, or directly sent a deputy general to immediately send these baggage soldiers back to Xu Du or Yu Ban, which was Xiahou Shang's fault.

At this point, in fact, Jin Hou made the same mistake as Xiahou Shang, after defeating Cao Hun, who was five times his own, he was also a little flustered, at that time, he should actually hand over Cao's troops directly to Mi Fang to deal with, instead of leaving it to Hou Long, who did not have any experience in fighting alone. This is also the fundamental reason why Jin Hou later said that the main responsibility for the defeat of Xiahou Shang's sneak attack was on him.

Second, Cao Hun himself eats Liang meat, but he harshly criticizes his soldiers, which is very famous in Cao's army.

However, Cao Hun is a relative of the emperor, if Cao Cao himself does not take the initiative to find out and deal with him, even Xun Yu will not be able to say much, let alone others.

Xu Duling is full of strict law enforcement, but for the sons and daughters of the Cao family and the Xiahou family, who have no military positions, he also does not dare to interfere in the affairs of the army. Don't forget, before, when governing Xudu, the chicken that was taken out by the full favor and killed directly while playing the report, and used to police the monkey was one of Cao Hong's diners.

At this time, Cao Hong and Cao Yu also knew what was going on, especially when they heard that Cao Yu's son Cao Hun and Xiahou Shang's younger brother Xiahou Shu were killed by Cao Lan's evil barrier, their faces turned green with anger.

And when Xun Yu pointed out this, the two of them didn't dare to come out.

In the end, Cao Cao could only take the initiative to choose to hastily end this military issue that he first raised.

That's all for later.

Not to mention Xiahou Shang, in a panic, led the remnants of the army to quickly return to Xudu.

Speaking of Jin Hou, freed from the shackles of the infantry, he and Hou Long, as well as the 500-man cavalry gifted to him by Mi Zhu, quickly penetrated directly into the Liang State under Cao Cao's rule.

In the Third Battle of Xuzhou, the main grain route for transporting grain and grass to Cao Cao's army was not Yingchuan County-Chen State-Pei-Pengchengguo, but Chenliujun-Liang-Peiguo-Pengchengguo.

As the place of the four wars in the Central Plains, although Chenliu County has also experienced repeated wars, since Cao Cao drove away Lu Bu and eliminated Zhang Miao and Zhang Chao's brothers, Chenliu County is the first county in Yanzhou to stabilize in addition to Dongjun. Later, at Jin Jue's suggestion, Lu Bu took the initiative to attack the counties in Yanzhou twice and destroyed the tuntian in Yanzhou, but it did not affect here.

The main reason is that the county guards here have been very effective, first Cheng Yu, after the Dongjun incident, Cheng Yu served as the Taishou of the East County, Cao Ren took over, and then, Cao Ren wanted to lead troops to defend Yingchuan County, and Jia Kui took over.

Before, although Jia Kui had done a bad job as an envoy to Yizhou, Cao Cao still entrusted him with an important task and appointed him as the Taishou of Chenliu County.

And Jia Kui did not live up to Cao Cao's trust, he not only learned from Lu Su to build a very tight defense system in the north of Chenliu County, but also completed the harvest of summer and autumn grain in time under the condition that Cao Cao transferred a large number of strong laborers in Chenliu County, and he was always able to send transport troops in time to transport grain and grass for the main force of Cao's army.

Of course, this situation only lasted until Jin Hou led this cavalry of 500 people before the Liang State appeared.

When the Marquis of Jin appeared in the territory of Liang, this main grain transportation channel of Cao's army was completely cut off.

During this time, Jin Hou did not have a command to attack any of Cao's army's grain transport troops, and on some of the main roads he passed, he led the cavalry to do only two, nay, three.

1. Digging up or blocking the official road with wood or stones;

second, to tear down the bridges they had seen on a long journey;

Three, burn all the big and small ships they saw along the way.

To put it bluntly, this method of warfare is a sabotage war, which does not require the soldiers to engage in a hard-to-head battle with the Cao army, but only requires them to spend some physical strength to destroy the path of the Cao army's grain transportation troops.

Let Jin Hou do this, whether it is Jia Kui who is too shou in Chen Liujun, Cheng Yu who is too shou in Dongjun, or Cao Pi who is sitting in Xudu, they are all stunned.

Cao Pi once again transferred the garrison of Xudu to Xiahou Shang, who came back in a hurry, and Cao Cao also sent Li Dian and his subordinates back, as a result, these two generals who were famous for their wisdom, each led a force of 3,000 soldiers, and they were stunned that they had not caught the tail of Jin Hou once in Yuzhou.

You know, this is only the cavalry led by Jin Hou, not cavalry in the real sense, to put it bluntly, they are just 500 infantry who can ride horses, and these 500 soldiers will not be trained by Jin Hou himself, not to mention the lack of tacit understanding and trust between the generals and soldiers, 500 of them have night blindness.

In this case, Jin Hou had no way to let his troops carry out night raids.

After the war, Liu Bei learned that only a month later, because a small man and five hundred cavalrymen on horseback under his command had forced Cao Cao to take the initiative to evacuate from Xuzhou.

If they don't withdraw, the main force of Cao's army will run out of food.

In the third battle of Xuzhou, the battle between Cao Jun and Liu Beijun ended in such a hurry.

However, Jin Hou himself also understood that although he did this, although he temporarily stabilized the situation in Xuzhou for Liu Bei, he also created a very terrible opponent at the same time, no, it should be said that there were three - Xiahou Shang, Cao Xiu and Cao Zhen.

This is still the leader of the second generation of the surnames Cao and Xiahou recorded by Jin Hou according to his memory.

Jin Jue once said to Jin Hou that Cao Cao's greatest ability was that he was very good at learning from failure.

Cao Cao also fought many defeats in his life, but in the end, he defeated most of his opponents, and the main reason was this.
