Chapter 453: Such a fiasco

Just when Cao Cao was desperate, he suddenly saw Cao Ren fighting bravely, protecting Cao Cao and fighting and retreating, and then Le Jin, Zhu Ling and others gathered, plus Cao Cao's original guards Cao Chun, Xia Houen and others, struggling to break through.

At this time, I saw a general coming from the oblique stab, and shouted loudly: "Changshan Zhao Zilong is here, and Cao Thief is leaving." ”

"Lord, go quickly, this Zhao Zilong will be dealt with by me." I don't know if it was the fearlessness of the ignorant or in order to show his bravery, Xia Houen immediately took a gun in his hand, went to meet the battle, and shouted loudly for Cao Cao to go first.

"Good! Good! Good! Brother En really deserves to be my saber general, and his bravery and enthusiasm are amazing. ”

Cao Cao exclaimed as he walked.

However, Cao Cao had just escaped a few feet away, when he suddenly heard a scream behind him, Cao Cao's heart tightened, and he knew that Xia Houen was dead, because the scream was made by Xia Houen.

Cao Cao closed his eyes and was silent, a cloudy tear flowed down, and he thought silently: "My brothers have one less." ”

Then Cao Cao remembered something again, and exclaimed: "My Qingyu Sword! It was actually obtained by Liu and this guy again. ”

At this time, I saw a general beside Cao Cao and said: "Lord, go quickly, I'll stop Zhao Yun." ”

At this time, after Zhao Yun killed Xia Houen, he felt that the sword on his back was very extraordinary, so he took it easily, and saw that the hilt of the sword was engraved with the word "Qingyu" in seal script, and he knew that it was the famous sword Qingyu in Cao Cao's hand.

At this moment, the Yiren of the fingers came out of the horse, came to Zhao Yun, and said with a wry smile: "Zilong, do you still know the old man?" ”

"You, are you Xiaolan?" Zhao Yun looked at the person opposite, feeling familiar, and then seemed to remember something, and then asked.

"Exactly, junior brother Xiahoulan, I haven't seen you for many years, Brother Zilong is still so heroic, but I am old."

At this time, due to Liu He's magic skills, the current Zhao Yun looked only thirty years old, but Xia Houlan was already forty years old, and he looked even older than Zhao Yun, so it was no wonder that he said such a sentence.

I saw Zhao Yun say: "This life is full of variables, but there is no need to say all kinds of ups and downs, I really didn't expect you to defect to Cao Cao." ”

"Hehe, although we are fellow villagers and friends, but Zilong, you don't know, I was originally a branch of the Xiahou clan of the state of Qian, my grandfather and Xiahou Yuan's grandfather are brothers, my clan brother Cao Mengde established the foundation, as a clan brother, I naturally want to go to the defection, but unfortunately my talent is not outstanding, so I have fallen so far, just mixed with the position of a Zhonglang general......"

"Don't gossip, Xiaolan, are you here to stop me from capturing Cao Cao?" Although Zhao Yun was close to Xiahoulan, he didn't want to delay the big event, so he hurriedly interrupted Xiahoulan's words and said in a deep voice.

"To each his own master, you will not blame." Xiahou Lan smiled bitterly, and then said: "Meng De is both my brother and my lord, so I naturally have to sacrifice my life to protect it, so unless you step over my corpse today, it will never be possible to take a step forward." ”

"Hmph, that's not necessarily." Zhao Yun snorted, then stepped forward, the spear in his right hand danced into a ball, taking advantage of Xiahou Lan's dodge, stretched his left arm, grabbed Xia Houlan's stumbling armor, easily captured Xia Houlan, and then threw it to the ground, ordered the left and right soldiers to tie it up, and then asked the good life to take care of it, and then went to chase and kill Cao Cao.

However, although it was only delayed for a moment, Cao Cao had already run away at this time, and Zhao Yun couldn't catch up, so he had no choice but to return.

And just when Cao Cao led the main army to attack Liu He's camp, Zhao and Liang Xi, who feinted to attack the camps in the north and south of the city, also suffered an ambush from Liu He's army.

The trick of feint to attack the northern camp was first ambushed by Zhang Ren and Yan Yan, and the five thousand men and horses instantly became a pot of porridge, and the soldiers were still too busy to escape, the men and horses trampled, and most of the casualties were lost, and the most speechless thing was that not only the main general was stabbed to death by Zhang Yi's gun, but even the military advisor Dong Zhao, who fought with the move, was also shot to death by a stray arrow.

Liang Xi was also besieged there, and the main general Liang Xi also died in this battle, but the difference was that Liang Xi was killed by the surrendered soldiers, because the camp he attacked was precisely Lu Meng's camp.

After returning to Xudu, Cao Cao calculated the loss, and his own side lost fifty or sixty thousand people, the generals Cao Hong, Liang Xi, Zhaozhao, Xiahouen, and the strategist Dong Zhao were all killed, in addition to Xiahoulan was captured alive, Cao Cao also lost a Qingyu sword, this heavy loss made the entire Xudu City people's hearts float, the army's morale was discouraged, and even Cao Cao no longer had the confidence to hold on.

"Sima Yi's strategy before was obviously able to make Liu He unable to find out, why did he fail so miserably today? Could it be that Sima Yi intended to harm me? At this time, Cao Cao once again became suspicious of Sima Yi, and then ordered him to be summoned, and asked in a deep voice: "Sima Zhongda, tell me what's going on?" I trust you so much and do exactly what you tell you to do, but look at what kind of losses our army has caused in this battle? Didn't you guarantee that Liu He would not see through your plan? But what now? Give me a reasonable explanation. ”

"What? How can there be so many losses? Even Sima Yi now can't believe such a "result", he took the battle report handed by Cao Cao, read it carefully for a long time, and finally sighed softly: "Lord, Yi doesn't know why Liu He was able to find out the secrets of our army, maybe this is not the fault of the skill, but there is really his inner line hidden in our army, if this is the case, even if the lower official is skilled, it will not be able to avoid the defeat of our army, or, after the last defeat, Liu He has found a way to deal with the skills of the lower officials." ”

"So what are we going to do? Do you want to sit back and watch your demise? Cao Cao clenched his teeth, his eyes were like about to breathe fire, and he glared at Sima Yi and said.

"For today's plan, I'm afraid the only way to move the capital", Sima Yi sighed, and said to Cao Cao: "The lord also knows that now our army is newly defeated, the morale of the army is low, and there are many officials in the court who are interested in Liu He, plus the lack of grain and grass in Xudu, it may not be easy to support it, it is better for us to move the capital to Xiapi, after all, there we still keep the entire Xuzhou intact, plus a part of Qingzhou, although such a force is difficult to support us to fight for hegemony in the world, but it is not difficult to divide one side, After all, the war between Liu Bei and Sun Quan can quickly be decided, once that time comes, Liu He will be busy fighting for Jingyi, it will be difficult to divide his mind to deal with us, no matter how big it is, we can flee from Qingzhou or Xuzhou to the sea, but Xia Guan heard that there is a Japanese slave country on the sea, where the territory is vast and the population is large, but it is not civilized, and it may be able to become our foothold......"
