"Buzz."

Cao Ying's head roared for a long time before he gradually calmed down. And after calming down, it took Cao Ying a long time to understand his situation.

Cao Ren was defeated.

That's right, it took a long time for Cao Ying to understand these five words. At this moment, Cao Ying still couldn't believe it, after winning for a while, Cao Ren was defeated.

How many people were lost after the defeat? I don't know yet, the fight is not over yet, and no one will know the outcome. But judging from the fact that Cao Ren sent an elite cavalry to report it, it may be a complete failure.

How many remnants of the defeated army will remain? Thousand? More than a thousand? That's pretty much it.

Coupled with the 1,000 elite soldiers when he broke away from the rear army and the Chinese army, it would be good to be able to remnant 2,000 elite soldiers. That is, 10,000 elite soldiers were killed and wounded 8,000.

This is a big loss, Cao's army marched into Wancheng, fought bloodily for three days, and did not lose so many people.

Thinking of such a big loss, Cao Ying couldn't help but feel dizzy.

"Chen Sheng, sinister child." Finally, Cao Ying couldn't help but scold, the one who scolded loudly.

Too insidious, too insidious. First pursue the feint defeat, then pursue the big victory. This is a decision to play a trick on him. And he was fooled again.

Although it is not that he is stupid, but that Chen Sheng is too insidious. But after suffering such a defeat, Cao Ying still felt blushing.

There is also a saying, "Don't chase after the returning army, and you will be defeated if you chase it." And now he is a returning soldier, and Chen Sheng is a chasing soldier, but he is coming backwards.

In this way, Cao Ying's mood is like a volcano, scolding Chen Sheng, and it is reasonable for a sinister child.

Fortunately, Cao Ying was not carried away by the momentary anger, and after calming down, he issued orders in succession, ordering the army to stop moving, and widely sent spies to guard against Chen Sheng's soldiers and horses.

Under Cao Ying's orders, the Chinese army was still very stable.

"Da-da-da-da."

Soon after, the sound of marching came from the rear, and Cao Ying knew that this was the return of Cao Ren's defeated army. couldn't help but ride the horse to the rear, Xun You, and Cheng Yu also hurriedly followed when they saw this.

Not long after, Cao Ying saw Cao Ren and his army, whether it was Cao Ren or every soldier in Cao Ren's army, it was very complete, not to mention seriously injured, even slightly injured.

It's just that there are a little fewer people, almost one or two thousand.

Those who are seriously injured, lack of physical strength, or even slightly injured are lost on the road, which is why they are so complete.

There is nothing left of this army but its integrity. Because they fled, the soldiers were all frightened, and even if they joined the Chinese army now, there was still a little palpitation on their faces.

Not to mention exhaustion, fighting all the way, running all the way, is already the limit of the limit. I saw that many soldiers couldn't help but lie on the ground, gasping for air.

This is Cao Jun, is this still Cao Jun? How tragic.

Cao Ying couldn't bear to look at it.

"Mengde, I'm entrusted with it again." At this moment, Cao Ren's voice sounded, which also attracted Cao Ren's attention. Cao Ying raised his head and looked in the direction where the voice came from.

was taken aback, and saw Cao Ren turning over and dismounting, and swaying towards himself, he was quite clean, but his face was like losing his mother, his eyes were red, and he was ashamed.

Cao Ying's eyes are also red, needless to say, this clan brother has worked hard, and among the generals surnamed Cao and Xiahou who follow him, they are second to none.

can be regarded as a contemporary romantic figure, but now he is like a lost dog. This appearance makes people feel sad when they look at it.

"Zixiao, hey." In the end, Cao Ying sighed, turned over and dismounted to help Cao Ren. Then, Cao Ying said: "This battle Gu is also relaxed, and a thousand elite soldiers are dispatched to escort it, which is why Zixiao is defeated." It's Lonely's fault, and it's not about Zixiao's business. ”

not only admitted his mistakes, but also comforted Cao Ren.

But the more Cao Ying said this, the more ashamed Cao Ren's heart became.

"Eight thousand elite soldiers, eight thousand elite soldiers, it's gone. Even Niu Jin was killed in battle. Cao Ren burst into tears and said sadly. When I think of Niu Jin, I am even more sad, and I can't stop crying.

"General Niu died in battle?" Cao Ying was shocked when he heard this, and then he couldn't hide his sadness, Niu Jin was brave and good at fighting, he was Cao Ren's arm, and he was also Cao's general.

And so it went.

The losses in this battle were too great, 8,000 elite soldiers, a fierce general. It's just buried, if you can be more vigilant, if you have a better understanding of Chen Sheng's insidiousness, it won't be like this.

Cao Ying's heart is a thousand, ten thousand regrets at the moment.

However, when Cao Ying saw Cao Ren like this, he also knew that it was not the time to be annoyed. So, he smiled and persuaded him: "Victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, and Zixiao doesn't have to care too much." As for General Niu's revenge, it is said that he is avenging. ”

Speaking of this, Cao Ying's face showed a bit of pride, and said: "There is a lonely land of several states in the Central Plains, and I can't obey the order of the Son of Heaven, just Chen Shengwan City, and more than 20 cities in Runan. Even if you can stop Lone for a while, can you stop a lifetime? Zixiao should regroup and fight again. ”

At that time, Cao Ying also knew that with the current situation in the Central Plains and Hebei, it was no longer practical to crusade against Chen Sheng. I don't know how long it will take to implement this sentence.

Therefore, most of these words are to comfort Cao Ren.

Of course, Cao Ren also knew this, but his heart was a little more excited, he stretched out his hand to wipe away the man's tears, nodded heavily and said, "Okay, let's talk about fighting Chen Sheng with Meng De again." ”

Seeing that Cao Ren was slightly uplifted, Cao Ying's mood also improved a lot.

At this moment, the sound of soldiers and horses marching in the north sounded. Cao Ying immediately knew that the vanguard had received his order, and had mobilized the army to the south to protect the Chinese army.

"The guards are here, even if Chen Sheng pursues again, he is not afraid. Let's go, go back to the Central Plains to rest first. Cao Ying said to Cao Ren with a smile.

"No." Cao Ren agreed, turned on his horse, ordered the defeated army to join the Chinese army, and then slowly went north.

At this moment, Cao Ying's second expedition to Wancheng was over. In this battle, Cao Ying dispatched a total of 50,000 elite soldiers, and mobilized the strategists Xun You, Cheng Yu, generals Cao Hong, Cao Ren, Li Dian, Le Jin, Man Chong and others.

As a result, Cao Hong and Niu Jin were killed in battle, and the loss of elite soldiers exceeded 10,000.

As Cao Ren thought, before Cao Ying pacified Yuan Shao in Hebei, he was no longer able to go south to conquer Chen Sheng, at most he was just attacking Lu Bu in Xuzhou.

Actually, Lu Bu is also a little pitiful. Lu Bu occupied Xuzhou, with tens of thousands of troops, and seven strong generals and strategists Chen Gong.

In Cao Ying, Cao Ren is a weak person in his eyes, it is better to occupy only more than 20 cities, and his troops are not as powerful as Lu Bu's Chen Shenglai.

Cao Ying led the army to slowly return to the Central Plains, and then transferred the troops to supplement the losses, trained diligently, reorganized the army, and prepared to conquer Lu Bu.

Chen Sheng, Wang Wei, Wei Yan and others led the victorious army, as well as many Cao troops to surrender, and returned to Wancheng in a mighty way.

And Wancheng is also ready. Chen Sheng was at the forefront of the army and had the widest field of vision, he looked up at Wancheng in the south, and saw that the gate of Wancheng was wide open, and there were many soldiers on both sides, ready to greet him.

There was an official standing in the middle, who couldn't see clearly from a distance, but Chen Sheng believed that this was Jia Xu.

Soon after, Chen Sheng arrived at the gate of Wancheng, and the official was Jia Xu. Chen Sheng and the generals couldn't help but turn over and dismount and meet them.

"General, the lower officer has prepared a banquet, please invite the general and the generals to the banquet." When Jia Xu saw Chen Sheng dismount, he also smiled and hugged his fists.

"Banquets are inevitable. However, first arrange for officials to treat the wounded soldiers and arrange for the soldiers to be surrendered. Then slaughter pigs and sheep for the soldiers, and reward the three armies. ”

Chen Sheng opened his mouth and said, victorious, Chen Sheng himself was happy, but he did not forget to win the hearts of the soldiers.

"No." Jia Xu promised and arranged for the officials to go.

In this way, Chen Shengcai was relieved to lead Wei Yan, Wang Wei, Jia Xu and others into the city, and handed over the army to the officers and officials below.

First, the wounded soldiers were arranged, then the troops were surrendered and properly disposed of, and finally the pigs and sheep were slaughtered, and wine, money, and food were rewarded to the three armies.

The defeat of Cao's army made the soldiers happy. Chen Sheng's reward was incomparably rich, and the morale of the soldiers was greatly boosted, and Chen Sheng's prestige was further improved.

On the other side, Chen Sheng led the generals to the General's Mansion, and then entered the hall. As Jia Xu said, the banquet has been prepared for a long time.

Wine, delicacies, maids served by the retinue.

The wine is delicious.

"Feel free to do so." Chen Sheng took the lead in the seat, and then waved his hand towards Wei Yan, Jia Xu, and Wang Wei, and said with a smile.

"No."

The generals said yes and sat down in turn.

After sitting down, it was time to open the table. Chen Sheng remembered someone, and asked Wang Wei instead: "General Wang, can you send someone to invite General Wen to the table?" ”

"Wen Ping is old-fashioned, and the general doesn't have to worry about him." Wang Wei shook his head with a smile and said.

In front of them, they were guarding against Chen Sheng seizing their military power, while one stayed in the city and one was in the barracks, and now after this battle, Chen Sheng's threat has increased greatly.

Naturally, it is even more impossible for both of them to enter the city.

"That's right." Chen Sheng groaned for a moment when he heard this, and then called a personal soldier over and ordered: "Order someone to take wine and delicacies to the military camp outside the city and give it to General Wenpin." ”

Wang Wei, Chen Sheng also knows Wenpin's thoughts, but what should be enveloped is not.

Anyway, Jingzhou Liu Biao can't hold Jingzhou, and this general is his.

"No."

The soldiers who were greeted by Chen Sheng agreed and went down to do something.

"In this battle, Niu Jin was killed, thousands of Cao Ying's elite soldiers were swallowed, and he played a majestic role. I believe that even if Cao Ying replenishes his troops again, if he wants to go south, he has to think twice. It can be described as a great momentum and a great morale boost. Have a drink with all of you. After not forgetting the appointment, Chen Sheng returned to the banquet, raised his glass, and laughed at the generals.

"It's time to drink."

Jia Xu, Wei Yan, Wang Wei and others said in unison, and then raised their glasses and drank with Chen Sheng.

The celebration banquet to celebrate the victory over Cao Ying began.
