Chapter 120: Prestige
Full Favor retired from the army, although this is the most inevitable outcome after Cao Hong's death.
But when Manzhong retired from the army, Chen Sheng and his subordinates still burst out with great joy. After a moment of cheering, the soldiers stopped.
It's just that although the voices stopped, their expressions were still full of joy.
Chen Sheng, who saw this joy, believed that this joy would continue for a long time.
Thinking about it, the corners of Chen Sheng's mouth also showed a slight smile.
"Yuanfu, send a spy over to tell my brother the news of this great victory, and also make my brother happy." After laughing for a moment, Chen Sheng ordered.
"However, the previous news of Guangcheng and Wancheng is still in the blockade." Zhou Cang said with some concern.
"It's okay, Cao Hong was defeated, full of favor and retreated, Cao Ren's layout has been forced. Presumably, it won't be long before Cao Ren will retire. ”
Chen Sheng smiled absently and said with certainty.
"No." Zhou Cang promised and turned to go down.
"Brother, although you did something foolish this time, it became the basis for me to kill Cao Hong and devour thousands of Cao soldiers, which can be said to be crooked. I hope my brother doesn't mind too much. ”
Chen Sheng said softly in the direction of Wancheng.
Chen Sheng knew that Zhang Xiu's surname was rigid, but after the victory, he was really worried about Zhang Xiu's situation.
Just in Guangcheng, the soldiers of the city cheered and rejoiced. Just when Chen Sheng was a little worried. Man Pet retreated in a big way, and at noon the next day, he arrived at Cao Ren's camp.
Cao Ren personally led the generals and colonels in the army to greet him.
"General."
When approaching the camp gate, Man Pet turned over and dismounted, and walked towards Cao Ren with a guilty face, and in his hand, there was a simple box, not to mention the objects inside.
At this moment, Cao Ren's face was pale and gray, and the grief in his eyes could not be hidden.
Really, Cao Ren has no way to accept that Cao Hong died like this. The relationship between the Cao family and the Xiahou family is by no means simple, and it can be said that it is almost as good as a family. Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Cao Chun, Xiahou Xuan, and Xiahou Yuan followed Cao Ying for the first time to conquer the old people in the world, and their feelings were even deeper.
Cao Ang, Dian Wei is dead, Cao Ren is sad, but it is not as good as Cao Hong's death on the battlefield this time.
Grief, unstoppable grief.
At this moment, Cao Ren is no longer leading the general Lejin, Li Dian calculated Zhang Xiu, calmly laid down the ambush soldiers, and won the general Cao Ren for a while.
It's a man who simply lost his brother.
"Zilian."
When Cao Ren looked at the box in Man's hand, his eyes turned red. He reached out and took the box, stroking it with his hand for a moment, wanting to open it, but flinching.
In the end, Cao Ren still couldn't open the box, and he couldn't directly face the head of this good brother.
"Berning, the soldier who came to report has already reported the battle situation in detail. But I'd like to hear you say it again. Cao Ren took a deep breath, carefully handed the box to the soldier next to him, and then turned around and asked Manzhong.
"Everything starts with the general defeating Zhang Xiu." Man Pet smiled bitterly and told the ins and outs of the matter. In the end, Man Chongsheng regretted a little and said: "If I hadn't set up this arrow to pass on the book, Zilian would not have died in battle." ”
Cao Ren listened calmly, always very calmly, until Man Zhong finished talking about the matter, and showed a look of guilt. Cao Ren shook his head and said, "Bo Ning is not to blame for all this, but Zilian is too impulsive and takes the blame on himself." ”
It's true.
Emotionally, Cao Ren can't ignore the sadness of Cao Hong's death. But in business, Cao Ren felt that Cao Hong was to blame, even if Cao Hong could survive this time, he should be dealt with by military law.
Lead the army forward.
Damn it.
"Send the box to Xudu and ask Meng De to be buried." After comforting Man Zhong, Cao Ren turned around and said to the pro-soldier holding Cao Hong's head.
"No."
The soldier said yes, turned and left.
"Withdraw the troops, retreat to Wuyin City, wait for Meng De's reinforcements to arrive, and then attack Nanyang County." Cao Ren said very calmly, but under a calm face, there was unparalleled anger.
When I come back next time, it won't be that simple.
Chen Sheng, I will peel your skin and cramp, crush your bones and scatter ashes.
"No."
Full of favor promises.
For Cao Ren's order, Man Chong did not have any objections. Lost a fiasco and lost a general. Of course, there was only one way to retreat, and he came to Cao Ren with his troops, and he just wanted to withdraw with Cao Ren.
Soon after, Cao Ren's orders were scattered.
The three Cao army camps in the north of the city, west of the city, and east of the city, which have been stationed in Wancheng for a long time, almost simultaneously pulled out the camp and went north.
The dark clouds that hung over Wancheng suddenly dispersed. Moreover, it was so fast, so sudden, which made many of the soldiers of Wancheng City dumbfounded and couldn't believe it.
Many soldiers rubbed their eyes in disbelief, and after taking a closer look, they found that Cao Jun had really retreated, and only then did they believe it, and then burst into cheers.
"Cao's army has withdrawn."
"Cao's army has withdrawn."
Just like the head of Guangcheng City, the soldiers in Wancheng City also burst out with great joy and cheered.
But while the soldiers were cheering, the sound of horses' hooves sounded outside the city.
"Da-da-da-da."
The sound of the horse's hooves was very crisp, and it clearly reached the ears of the soldiers. The soldiers couldn't help but be vigilant, let go of the joy in their hearts, and were on guard.
In the midst of the vigilance, several fast horses appeared in the sight of the soldiers, these fast horses were quite strong, and the knights on the horses were even more majestic and extraordinary.
"Who's coming?"
A soldier asked.
"I am a corporal under General Chen Sheng, go and report to the general. General Chen killed Cao Hong in Guangcheng and swallowed thousands of Cao army's elite soldiers, a great victory, a great victory. ”
Several knights under the city puffed up their chests proudly and shouted towards the city.
A lot of pride, overflowing.
The soldiers of Wancheng were first stunned, then stunned, and finally ecstatic.
The shock was this news, and it was suddenly why Cao Ren suddenly retreated, this is not pie in the sky, but General Chen, Governor Chen's army won the battle in Guangcheng.
Cao Jun has withdrawn, which is worth rejoicing. And this won the battle, and also killed the enemy general, this, this, this.
This, of course, will be ecstatic.
"Oh, oh, Governor Chen is mighty."
"I, the general of Nanyang, only overseers. Hahahaha. ”
"Refreshing, refreshing."
The entire Nanyang Wancheng suddenly fell into ecstasy.
Chen Sheng, Chen Overseer's prestige suddenly soared to a height, a height that even Zhang Xiu could not reach.
