Chapter 152: Cao Cao's plan
Liu Zhang was very happy, but there was a person who was sad and cried alone.
This person is none other than the brilliant Emperor Wu of Wei in history - Cao Cao!
In Junyi County, Cao Cao, who lived alone, did not have the vigor of the past, but his face was clumsy, his eyebrows were thin, and the light in the room was like a bean, and it seemed that there were tears in his eyes under the light.
The door was gently slammed, and someone said, "Lord! General Xiahou asks to see! ”
In an instant, Cao Cao swept away the decadence, regained his former anger of looking down on the world, and said calmly: "Please!" ”
The door was pushed open, and Xiahou Yuan, who was stained with blood, rushed in, bowed his head and said, "My lord......"
Cao Cao looked at his clan brother, and said with some pain: "Miaocai, can you find Yuan Rang, Zixiao, and Zilian?" ”
Xiahou Yuan took a breath, calmed down the excitement in his heart, and after a long time, he still said a little choked: "Back to the lord, Yuan Rang has been found, Zixiao and Zilian ......"
"What happened to Zixiao and Zilian?" Cao Cao was worried in his heart and shouted.
According to them, the enemy pursued very closely, Zixiao was worried that the lord would be entangled, so he resolutely led five hundred guards to turn back to meet the battle, and after slashing more than ten horsemen, he was knocked to the ground by the enemy horse, and then was trampled to death by the cavalry, and the five hundred guards under his command fought to the last man, and none of them survived...... Xiahou Yuan said bitterly.
"What...... Poof...... "Although Cao Cao expected it and thought that he was ready, who expected that when he heard the news of Cao Ren's death, he still couldn't hide his grief, and he poured out a blood-colored flower on the ground.
When Cao Cao unified the north, the name of the five good generals spread all over the world, but these people were all foreign surnames, and he was still afraid of these people from the deepest part of his heart, especially the five good generals were not generalized, of course, he would not show his deepest thoughts. In fact, the people he trusted the most were still the brothers of the Cao family and the Xiahou family, after all, these people were related to him by blood and had the same ancestry. And the Cao family and the Xiahou family have many talents, Xiahou Xuan, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Cao Chun, etc., are all called heroes, and Cao Cao's special trust will not be regarded as nepotism. Cao's and Xiahou's are the most outstanding, and Cao Ren and Xiahoudun are the most outstanding, which can be described as both wise and brave, Cao Ren often leads the teacher to be alone outside, Xiahoudun sits in the rear for Cao Cao, stabilizes the temple, and the two of them are outside and inside, and they are Cao Cao's right-hand man.
At this time, when he heard that Cao Ren, who he had high hopes for, was actually killed in battle, and died in such a cruel way, how could Cao Cao not be angry?
Xiahou Yuan couldn't help but be shocked when he saw Cao Cao being stimulated to vomit blood, and hurriedly stepped forward to support Cao Cao regardless of the blood stains on his body, and said, "Lord...... How are you? Sit down, and the last will immediately go to the doctor! ”
Cao Cao grabbed Xiahou Yuan's arm, shook his head, and said, "No, no!" ”
"Lord, your body is important, sit down!" As he spoke, he helped Cao Cao sit down and said, "The last general will immediately go to the doctor to ask for a doctor!" ”
"Don't ......" Cao Cao took a handkerchief to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, and said: "Now the army's heart is unstable, if people know about it, it will only make the soldiers more panicked, if the enemy chases, I'm afraid our army is about to collapse without a fight, we can't take this risk!" ”
"But the lord's body ......"
"I'm fine, I'll be fine with a rest!" Cao Cao said: "Has Zixiao's body been snatched back?" ”
"No, Sima of the first army of Zixiao saw that Zixiao was killed in battle, regardless of the disparity between the enemy and our forces, he led his troops back in the hope of retrieving Zixiao's body, but there were too many enemy horsemen, and none of these soldiers were still ......"
Cao Cao sighed and said, "What about Zilian? ”
"Zilian's whereabouts are unknown, but ...... At that time, in order to block the pursuing soldiers, he let the horse lord and queen lead his troops to attack the strong with weakness, I am afraid that it will ......"
Cao Cao didn't know whether to comfort Xiahou Yuan or himself, and said: "It's good if you don't have a whereabouts, it's good if you don't have a whereabouts, Zilian is strong in martial arts, and he should be able to escape the catastrophe......"
"The last general also thinks so, the last general will continue to order people to search, and be sure to find Zilian!"
"Well, there is no definite news, absolutely not to give up...... By the way, what about Yuan Rang? Why didn't he come? ”
"Lord, brother...... Brother, he ......"
Cao Cao stood up and shouted, "What's wrong with Yuan Rang?" Say it! ”
"Brother, he's injured!"
"Hurt? Does it matter? Where did it hurt? Forget it, take me to see it! Cao Cao asked eagerly.
"Yes......" Xiahou Yuan didn't dare to say more, and hurriedly led Cao Cao to see the injured Xiahou Yuan.
"Yuan let ......" Cao Cao looked at Xiahoudun's head wrapped in white cloth and shouted worriedly.
"Lord ......" Xiahoudun, who was lying on the couch, heard Cao Cao's voice, and as soon as he put his hands on the couch, he was about to get up.
Cao Cao hurriedly stepped forward and pressed Xiahoudun's chest: "Don't move, lie down!" ”
Xiahoudun was indeed seriously injured, and after a bloody battle, his physical strength was seriously overdrawn, and he couldn't bear to be tired and fell asleep just after taking the medicine, and at this time he was not polite to Cao Cao, and lay down again.
"How does it feel? Where did it hurt? Cao Cao asked with concern.
"Much better, no big deal!" Xiahou was full of indifferent words.
Xiahou Yuan said on the side: "Lord, brother, he was shot in the left eye by the enemy, and his left eye has been blinded, fortunately, the arrow did not shoot into his brain, otherwise he ...... brother."
"What?" Xiahoudun's head was tightly wrapped, Cao Cao couldn't see the wound, he had been prepared, but the severity was still beyond his expectations, if this arrow went a little deeper...... Cao Cao didn't dare to imagine that outcome.
"My lord, if the crockpot is not broken from the well, the general will inevitably die in battle! Since the beginning of the army, the last general has been prepared to die on the battlefield. Now it's just one eye, God forbid! One eye is gone, and when the last general recuperates, he will still be a good man, and the last general will only have one eye, so it will be more convenient to use arrows in the future...... Haha......"
Cao Cao had tears in the corners of his eyes, and the corners of his mouth twitched painfully, and he felt remorse and self-blame in his heart, if he wasn't so careless, maybe things wouldn't be like this!
Things have to start from more than 20 days.
On that day, Cao Cao was overjoyed when he received Wang Yun's reply, and he immediately led 30,000 elite soldiers to Luoyang to welcome the emperor.
Who knew that when the army marched to the revolving gate near Chenggao, there was a trumpet cannon around the city, and in an instant, the rain of arrows, rolling logs, and stones poured into the head of Cao Jun who was in a hurry.
Cao's army was completely unprepared, and as soon as it was attacked by the enemy, it was immediately in chaos and suffered heavy casualties.
This is the battlefield that Lu Bu has pre-selected, and the things that can be used for cover in the killing field have been cleared in advance, and Cao Cao has nothing to hide, and countless soldiers have passed away in a daze......
Cao Cao finally escaped under the protection of his own soldiers, but his mount was shot into a hedgehog with a scream. Cao Cao didn't care about his heartache, and immediately organized soldiers to prepare to forcibly break out of the encirclement, and at this moment, 10,000 Bingzhou iron cavalry with a team of 1,000 people launched a surprise attack on Cao's army like a whirlwind under the personal leadership of Lu Bu.
Cao Jun was suddenly ambushed, the formation was chaotic, the people were panicked, where to resist live, under the impact of the world-famous and state iron cavalry was broken like a withered and decayed, seeing Lu Bu rushing to Cao Cao with a red rabbit BMW, Cao Hong forcibly helped Cao Cao onto his mount, shouting: "There can be no flood in the world, there can be no justice, please go quickly, the last will be after the judgment of the Lord!" After drinking, regardless of Cao Cao's opposition, he ordered Cao Ren, Xiahoudun and others to protect Cao Cao and stand out.
Cao Ren and the others knew that the situation was at stake, so after telling Cao Hong to be more careful, they protected Cao Cao and fought desperately out of the encirclement.
Unbeknownst to Cao Cao, shortly after he left, Cao Hong had half of his head cut off by Lu Bu, who was bent on capturing Cao Cao alive.
Lu Bu was victorious and unforgiving, and led 10,000 iron cavalry to chase all the way. Cao Cao's army was all infantry, and it was about to be caught up by the enemy, so Cao Ren, Xiahoudun, and Le Jin voluntarily led the troops to break off. Cao Ren was unfortunately killed in battle when he blocked the enemy, and Xiahoudun was also shot by Lu General Cao Xing.
Cao Cao fled all the way, but Lu Bu clung to it and soon pursued him to Yanzhou. In order to block Lu Bu, Cao Cao successively abandoned the three counties of Yucheng, Sujuo, and Fengqiu to lure Lu Bu to divide his troops to capture it, so as to delay the speed of Lu Bu's army.
Lu Bu really hit the plan and sent troops to occupy the three counties. When Lu Bu reacted that he had lost the watermelon, picked up the sesame seeds, and led his troops to continue to chase, Cao Cao had already retreated into Junyi and stabilized the situation in Junyi.
