Chapter Seventy-Four: Retreat

Of course, at this time, Cao Cao's heart fluctuated very much, and it seemed that the heartstrings that had been tense were loosened because of this, and the dullness in his chest dissipated a lot.

After calming down a little, Cao Cao's expression calmed down, his eyes looked at Liu Bei like electricity, and asked softly, "Sir, where is he now?" Are you hurt? ”

Hearing this, Liu Bei looked at the unconcealable care in Cao Cao's eyes, and was slightly surprised, he didn't expect Mo Shuyan's position in Cao Cao's heart to be so important, and asked himself, why didn't Liu Bei want to keep Mo Shuyan, so it seemed that it was just wishful thinking.

Although he regretted it in his heart, Liu Bei would not hide it from Cao Cao after all, and after a little consideration, Liu Bei replied lightly: "Now that Mr. is in Youzhou, he is seriously injured, but he finally saved his life, and when he woke up a few days ago, he was really relieved of Brother Meng De, so he entrusted me to investigate." ”

After finishing speaking, Liu Bei suddenly found that Cao Cao's eyes in front of him were blank, and he seemed to be stunned on the spot, and there was no trace of emotion on his face.

But at this time, Cao Cao's heart was already churning, Mo Shuyan was seriously injured and dying, you can imagine how much effort it took to escape, and now that he just woke up, he is still concerned about himself, how can Cao Cao not be moved?

Seeing this, Zhang Lie's eyes flashed on the side, and he hurriedly stepped forward, taking advantage of Cao Cao's stunned moment, he clasped his fists and said: "Lord, since Mr. is fine, let's go back to Chen Liu, and if we force a fight, we will definitely hurt our vitality!" ”

Cao Cao, who was originally stunned, suddenly came back to his senses when he heard this, and glanced at Zhang Lie deeply, and he didn't have much blame in his heart, after all, Zhang Lie's move was also to protect Cao Jun.

If it were in normal times, Cao Cao would not have done such an unwise move, attacking Xingyang, it would have hurt the enemy by a thousand and damaged himself by eight hundred, but it was only because of Mo Shuyan that Cao Cao would not take care of these.

Now that he learned that Mo Shuyan was safe, Cao Cao also had the intention of retreating from the army, and it happened that Zhang Lie gave him a step down, and Cao Cao could go down the steps.

Before Cao Cao could speak, Liu Bei also said: "Now that all the princes are fighting hard, I am afraid that they will not send troops to support Cao's army. ”

With the two of them taking the lead, the commanders who had no intention of attacking Xingyang suddenly got up one after another, clasped their fists in unison and shouted: "Please also ask the lord to take back his order and withdraw his troops to stay behind!" ”

Seeing everyone's unanimous request, the only trace of luck left in Cao Cao's heart suddenly disappeared without a trace, if the generals had no intention of attacking, this battle would be lost, so why bother?

Thinking of this, Cao Cao turned around and walked back to the main seat, with his hands behind him, looked around at everyone, and finally nodded, and shouted softly: "Pass on my military order, pull out the camp and withdraw the army, and retreat from the army!" ”

"No, the lord is wise."

The commanders immediately smiled, happily agreed, and said goodbye one after another, went back to convey the military order to their subordinates, cleaned up, and prepared to leave.

Soon, the main account was empty, except for Zhang Lie, Xiahoudun, Cao Hong and Liu Bei, and Cao Cao on the main throne, there was no one else in the main account.

Zhang Lie, Xiahoudun, and Cao Hong looked at each other, and the three of them had already left, but Cao Cao left them behind, and the three of them who couldn't guess Cao Cao's intentions could only stay where they were.

Liu Bei and Cao Cao looked at each other, their eyes did not give in to each other, and they seemed to be communicating something with their eyes.
