Chapter 435: The Way to Win in Defeat

When the army returned and calculated the losses, Zhang Xiu found that the 5,000 cavalry had lost more than 2,000, and he felt very painful, because the cavalry under his command were all the old troops of his uncle Zhang Ji, and they were all elite Xiliang cavalry, each of which was an elite soldier in a hundred battles.

"Sir, it's all strange that the embroidery was impulsive, didn't listen to the advice, and was ambushed by Cao Cao, this time I lost more than 2,000 Xiliang elites, I am really ashamed, this time I don't listen to the lord's orders to fight Cao Cao, the start is unfavorable, it is really an unforgivable crime, this Jingzhou Thorn History seal has no face to hold anymore, and now I am willing to transfer it in my hand to Mr. for safekeeping, and please don't refuse."

Zhang Xiu took out his Jingzhou Thorn History Seal from the big tent, handed it to Jia Xu's hand, and said ashamedly.

But seeing Jia Xu's face sank, he said with a straight face: "This seal is given to the general by the lord, how can the general transfer it to others at will?" As for the victory or defeat of the war, it is a common thing in soldiers. The general listened to my suggestion, gathered the generals, played the banner of the lord, and launched a sneak attack on Cao Cao again, I believe that this time he will be able to win a big victory, and he will be ashamed. ”

"Huh? Again, fight again? Last time, I lost 2,000 fine horsemen, if I fight again, it is estimated that my little strength will be covered by Cao Cao", Zhang Xiu heard Jia Xu's words, and suddenly changed color, and then said with a wry smile: "Isn't Mr. joking when he says this?" ”

"Naturally it's not a joke", Jia Xu said: "The last time the general sneak attacked, it was obvious that Cao Cao was prepared, or this was Cao Cao's deliberate ambush, a siege launched against the general, the general only had 5,000 people, and the other party besieged the general with 20,000 people, in this case was able to break out, and only lost 2,000 people, this is already a very remarkable record, but Cao Cao after this battle, he thought that the general would definitely learn a lesson, and did not dare to take the initiative to attack again, In this case, it is not interesting for him to continue to stay here, so he will definitely retreat next, and the general will definitely win a big victory if the enemy launches an attack without defense, and the general will listen to me, if he is defeated, he is willing to offer the head, but there is one thing the general needs to remember, this attack must not be in love, at most only need to chase and kill ten miles and then retreat, because Cao Cao will definitely react later, and once he gathers the army and completes the formation, we will lose any advantage, and then force the attack, Instead, it will fail. ”

"I will take care of what Mr. said, please wait for my good news."

After Zhang Xiu finished speaking, he hugged his fist at Jia Xu, and then ordered the team to be assembled again, this time in order to achieve enough results, Zhang Xiu even pulled out the newly recruited 3,000 cavalry, a total of 6,000 cavalry, in addition to the 2,000 infantry guarding the camp, it can almost be said that it poured out.

"General, we were just defeated last time, and if we attack again now, isn't it a bit reckless?" Although the sergeants under Zhang Xiu's command were fearless, they were still a little dissatisfied with this practice of sacrificing in vain, and told Zhang Xiu their thoughts.

But seeing Zhang Xiu smiled: "This time is definitely different from the last time, you can rest assured that I will win this battle, if I don't win, I am willing to pay 10,000 yuan to each soldier who goes out." ”

Although he said this, Zhang Xiu was still a little skeptical, and said secretly: "Jia Wenhe, Jia Wenhe, my net worth is all on you, 60 million yuan, if I am really defeated, I will be bankrupt and destitute!" ”

The soldiers were very happy when they heard this, and they must have a certain degree of certainty when they saw that the Lord General had said this, otherwise no one would be stupid enough to hand over 60 million dollars.

Subsequently, under the leadership of Zhang Xiu, these 6,000 people set off in a mighty manner and chased directly after Cao Cao's team.

And after Cao Cao defeated Zhang Xiu's team last time, after calculation, he found that Zhang Xiu only lost more than 2,000 people, and couldn't help but feel a little unhappy.

At this time, I saw the military advisor Cheng Yu comforting: "These soldiers who died in the battle are all elite soldiers in Zhang Xiu's army, these are all veterans trained by Zhang Ji and Zhang Xiu's uncle and nephew for more than ten or twenty years, and the soldiers in our army are all newly recruited soldiers, even if you exchange two for him, it is worth it, so the lord doesn't have to be like this, we actually make money." ”

"What Zhongde said makes sense, so I made money this time to recruit Zhang Xiu, but it's a pity that this guy's martial arts are really smart, and there is a lack of fierce generals in our army, otherwise I will definitely be able to leave him, that Zhang Xiu suffered a loss, I'm afraid that I won't dare to come out of the military camp in the future, and it will be useless for us to stay here, withdraw to Xu Du."

So Cao Cao ordered people to play a triumphant song, and the class returned to the court, and exaggerated the battle record, saying that it annihilated the opponent's 8,000 elite soldiers, causing the opponent to suffer heavy losses, and opened a good game for this war.

However, Cao Cao's army had just walked more than twenty miles, and suddenly heard the rumbling sound of horses' hooves from behind, and by the time Cao Cao reacted, his rear had been violently attacked, and the entire rear army was in chaos.

"What's going on? Find out quickly. On the one hand, Cao Cao ordered to stabilize the situation, and on the other hand, he urgently sent spies to inquire about the news.

After a while, I saw the spies panting and arrived, and said to Cao Cao: "Lord, I have already found out, our Hou army has been attacked by the enemy, and the other party is playing the banner of the great general Liu He.......

"What? It turned out to be Liu and Xiao'er! This, how is this possible? How did he come so fast? Didn't you say yesterday that there are still nearly three hundred miles? Could it be that he actually traveled 300 miles overnight in one day? Cao Cao looked incredulous and muttered.

I saw Cheng Yu approaching and said: "This Liu He has always been cunning, maybe the news we got before that he is still three hundred miles away from here is not accurate, in fact, he has already come to a closer place, so he can come here in a day and night......"

"Although it sounds a little unbelievable, it is not impossible, Liu He Xiao'er has always been cunning, and he chose to lead the army to attack when our army was defenseless, and now the rear has collapsed, and I don't know how many enemy troops there are, our army is extremely difficult to resist, so it is better to retreat quickly in order to preserve strength."

Cao Cao sighed, he didn't expect to meet Liu He, and in desperation, he had to lead the army to retreat sharply, in order to avoid his edge and preserve his strength.

However, when the army retreated ten miles away, it was found that the other side had withdrawn without warning, and at this time some soldiers who had fled back reported that the other side was only six or seven thousand people at most, and the soldiers and horses in the rear were all tied to the tails of the horses.

"Ahhh......hhh Fooled, it must be Zhang Xiu's fight under the banner of Liu He, launching a sneak attack on our army again, this is really hateful, pass my order, the whole army turned around and returned, and immediately attacked Zhang Xiu, this time I will not destroy this guy, I vow not to return to the army! When Cao Cao heard the news, he was immediately furious, and his angry order was conveyed left and right.
