Chapter 343: The Fall
Looking at Cao Jun, who was swallowed by the sea of fire, Sima Yi hurriedly turned on his horse and fled.
But even so, the clothes on his body were a little torn, and the soot fell on his face a little embarrassed.
"Xi Zhicai, this time you didn't even give me a chance to win back."
In the night sky, the stars flickered, but at this time, there was a star, falling, and that bright light pierced the entire sky like a meteor.
In this bright starry sky, he left his own light, although the vast starry sky is fleeting, but it also makes people remember this dazzling light.
"Zhicai." Guo Jia looked at the fallen stars, and his eyes couldn't help but moisten.
I once thought that in the battle of Liaodong, you escaped death and survived this catastrophe, but I didn't expect that in the end, you still couldn't dodge.
The fire in the direction of Guandu was still spreading, and the sky reflected by the firelight was red.
In the direction of Cao Jun's camp, there were only a few people at this time, and they escaped from the sea of fire in embarrassment.
"Of the tens of thousands of troops, only these few thousand escaped?"
Xiahou Yuan looked at the embarrassed crowd and said angrily.
The moment the fire was lit, it was quickly lit up.
Those Han soldiers kept rushing up like crazy.
"Let's go back first." Sima Yi looked in the direction of the Han army camp and withdrew to the Cao army camp.
Xi Zhicai, you are the first person to make such a mess of me.
When Cao Cao and the others saw that Sima Yi was so embarrassed, they were also stunned, "What happened?" Why is this so? ”
"We've been tricked." Although Sima Yi was unwilling, he still sighed and said.
"In this big camp, there is no food and grass at all, and this is a trap set by Xi Zhicai at the beginning."
Sima Yi had completely understood at this time, and Xi Zhicai deliberately covered everything up tightly, in order to let him Sima Yi untie this trap and drill into it with his own hands.
Everything he saw through was just what Xi Zhicai deliberately wanted to let himself know.
"Report, lord, Xuchang is lost."
Before Cao Cao could speak, a soldier was already covered in blood and came in from outside the account.
"Xuchang is lost?" Cao Cao's face changed, this Xuchang was the capital city that he had chosen for Liu Xie.
"Report, Cao Gong, Yingchuan has also been lost, Zhao Yun killed the guard and captured Yingchuan."
At this time, how could Sima Yi not know that all this was Xi Zhicai's plan.
This Yuzhou can't be saved, is this the purpose of Xi Zhicai?
He lost tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, but he didn't expect to lose Yuzhou as a result.
"Report, Cao Gong, Yanzhou is in an emergency, Liu Bei led the army and attacked Yanzhou in a big way."
In just a moment, the battle report was delivered to Cao's camp at the same time, as agreed.
"This damn Liu Bei." Cao Cao immediately scolded.
"Return to the army, Yanzhou." Then Cao Cao ordered.
Sima Yi also knew that if Cao Cao did not return to the army, I am afraid that not only Yuzhou would not be protected, but also Yanzhou and Qingzhou would not be able to be protected.
…
A few days later, Yuzhou and Liu Wei had already taken all the land of Xuzhou at this time, and the remaining cities had already sent Dian Wei and Zhao Yun to lead the army.
"Your Majesty, the two generals, Gan Ning and Huang Zhong, ask to see you."
Liu Wei was stunned after hearing this, shouldn't they be assisting Zhicai in Guandu, why did they come here in a good manner.
Could it be that something happened to Guandu? Thinking of this, Liu Wei didn't dare to delay, and a bad premonition came to his heart.
"Let them in." Liu Wei immediately spoke.
Soon, Liu Wei saw Huang Zhong and Gan Ning walking in.
However, they all lowered their heads and didn't dare to look at Liu Bian, and Liu Bian's bad premonition in his heart became stronger and stronger.
"Why are you two here? Is something wrong with Guandu? What about Zhicai? ”
Liu Wei looked at Huang Zhong and Gan Ning and asked.
After hearing Liu Wei's words, Huang Zhong and Gan Ning looked at each other even more, not knowing how to speak.
Liu Wei was even more angry when he saw it, "What happened?" Boom you say. ”
When he left, Gan Ning was guarding the camp, so Liu Wei looked at Gan Ning and asked.
"Your Majesty, it was the last general who was incompetent, and the last general did not protect the military advisor and did not stop his actions."
Gan Ning immediately pouted and watched Liu Wei kneel down, and said with a guilty voice.
"What do you say? You repeat? Liu Wei's face immediately turned pale, and he looked at Gan Ning and said.
Seeing this, Huang Zhong knew that Liu Wei couldn't accept the news, so he did so, and then looked at Liu Wei and said.
"Please also ask Your Majesty to mourn."
"You two must be deceiving me, with the talent of Zhicai, how can he have trouble, and you still have you to protect him."
Liu Wei looked at the two of them and said emotionally.
"Your Majesty, it's Xingba's fault, when he was in Liyang, the military advisor had already been injured, in order not to worry His Majesty, he was able to capture Xuchang with peace of mind, so he let the last general hide it with him."
If I had known that it would be such a result, I wouldn't have helped Xi Zhicai hide anything I said.
I thought that when the war was over, the military advisor would be able to recuperate, but I didn't expect such a result.
After Liu Wei heard this, he felt even more remorseful in his heart, knowing that he should have forced someone to check for Xi Zhicai in the first place.
"What else are you hiding from me?"
"That's all." Gan Ning sighed and said, "If Your Majesty wants to punish him, the last general will never complain." ”
"Your account will be calculated later, and now tell me what happened in Guandu." Liu Wei said emotionally.
If there was no Xi Zhicai, it would be impossible for him to take Yuzhou now.
But now, Yuzhou is about to be taken down, but Xi Zhicai is gone.
Liu Wei knew that in the battle for the world, someone would definitely leave, but when such a day really came, he found that he was not prepared at all, not to mention that person was still a drama talent.
"Zhicai, why are you so impulsive, even if I lose this battle and can't take Yuzhou, what does it matter."
When Liu Wei listened to Gan Ning's words, he said that from the moment he left Guandu, Xi Zhicai was already ready.
"Under the order, go down, march to Yanzhou, and I want to avenge Zhicai."
Liu Wei looked at Huang Zhong and Gan Ning and said, in his eyes, Xi Zhicai and himself are not only monarchs and ministers, but also friends.
Not only Xi Zhicai, but everyone who followed him, he didn't completely regard them as courtiers and slaves.
"Your Majesty, let me be a pioneer." After listening to Liu Wei's words, Gan Ning immediately spoke.
"No, you can't." At this moment, Guo Jia walked in from outside the hall.
"I already know about Zhicai, but Your Majesty, now is not the time for revenge, you can't do this."
Guo Jia looked at Liu Wei and the others and said.
"Why? Now that Liu Bei and Lu Bu are attacking, Cao Cao, sending troops at this time, Cao Cao will inevitably not be able to take care of each other. Liu Wei saw Guo Jia coming, and after listening to his words, he spoke.
"In the battle of Guandu, our army suffered heavy losses, Your Majesty took Yuzhou, if you enter Yanzhou at this time, Liu Bei and others will definitely stop attacking, but unite against Your Majesty."
"Besides, Han Sui is ready to move in Liangzhou, once there is civil strife, everything will fall short at that time, and Zhicai's death will be meaningless."
Guo Jia looked at Liu Wei and said solemnly.
"For example, in the midst of today, the princes are all around, and there is not only one Cao Cao, and the official crossing is in a battle, and His Majesty should temporarily suspend the army."
After listening to Guo Jia's words, Liu Wei glanced at Guo Jia, he knew that Guo Jia was thinking about the overall situation, and what he said made sense.
"Your Majesty, I know that you feel uncomfortable, but I am also the same in my heart, but Your Majesty, we can't let Zhicai's hard work go to waste."
"His life's wish is to see the end of this troubled world and the people live and work in peace and contentment, if Your Majesty starts a war at this time, what will be the result at that time?"
The reason, Liu Wei is naturally clear, but he still can't pass this level in his heart.
"What Your Majesty has to do now is to recuperate and eliminate the adverse effects of the war."
"Your Majesty, just listen to the military advisor." Huang Zhong also spoke at this time.
"Your Majesty, don't worry, Zhicai's revenge, I will personally avenge him." Guo Jia said in a cold tone.
