Chapter 422: Woe to the Family
In this battle outside Dongwu City, although Cao Cao lost Cao Xiu, but fortunately, all the generals were all there, and the soldiers were also ready, Cao Cao already had the capital to fight with Zhang Xiang, and it was enough for Cao Cao to be beaten passively during this time.

Today is also a fierce battle, Cao Cao didn't explain anything, let the generals go down and rest, only Jia Xu stayed, Cao Cao saw that Jia Xu didn't leave, so he guessed that he should have something to say, "Wenhe, do you have something to do?" ”
Jia Xu also came when he learned that Cao Cao had leaked Han Xin, and Han Xin's secret son was buried by Jia Xu, "The lord promised Zhang Xiang to release his family, but is there such a thing?" ”
Cao Cao: "Yes, I can only say this at that time. ”
Jia Xu: "The subordinates feel that the lord can't be soft-hearted, Han Xin should play the greatest role, otherwise it will be in vain for us to waste all our thoughts, since Zhang Xiang can give up the city in his hands for the sake of his family, why don't we continue to use him." ”
Cao Cao: "Wen He, you let me go back on my word, do you really think Zhang Xiang cares about his family?" Sitting in the position of me and Zhang Xiang, sometimes we have to give up something, if it really comes to the point of giving up, we will not hesitate. ”
Jia Xu: "My subordinates hope to give it a try, at least they can influence Zhang Xiang." ”
Cao Cao: "Just do what you want to do!" I will assume that I did not hear what you say today, but I will not bear any consequences. Jia Xu was waiting for Cao Cao's words.
There are some things that are inconvenient for the lord to do, so he naturally wants to do it as a courtier, not to mention that Jia Xu feels that it is a good and harmless thing, even if there is some loss of reputation, he, as a courtier, can bear it.
What's more, Cao Cao's reputation is not good, and Cao Cao did this kind of thing by threatening Zhang Xiang with his family not long ago, and there is no change at all, so why not do it.
Since he has become a bad person, even if he is a good person, no one will believe it, Jia Xu has always done this, but everything Jia Xu did in secret and did not make a noise.
Anyway, it is also Jia Xu's old business, Jia Xu did this during Dong Zhuo's period, the war is still ongoing, Cao Cao's actions are indeed much bigger than before, after all, there are many people with great confidence.
Cao Cao is no longer satisfied with staying in Dongwu City, after all, a Dongwu may not be able to accommodate so many people in Cao Cao, Cao Cao has already put on a posture, and Zhang Xiang can't help but continue.
The behemoths of the two armies unfolded in front of Dongwu City, both sides were the same black, and they were both elite soldiers, Zhang Xiang knew that the real battle had begun, and Cao Cao relied on Dongwu City.
It can be said that it can be attacked and defended, which is already conducive to an invincible position, and the situation on Zhang Xiang's side is relatively poor, and the rear is smooth, and there is a risk of rout once the war is unfavorable.
Defeat is a thing that does not distinguish between the elite soldiers and soldiers, Cao Cao did not choose to fight after he came up, which surprised Zhang Xiang, Zhang Xiang still wants to rely on the bravery of the generals to win?
Cao Cao really didn't give Zhang Xiang a chance to gain the upper hand at all, although Cao Cao had many generals, but there were very few top-level generals, so Cao Cao naturally wouldn't be stupid to fight with Zhang Xiang.
The damage of the fighting generals to the generals was too great, Cao Cao directly sent chariots, these chariots were still obtained by Cao Cao from Yuan Shao, the front of Dongwu City was very flat, and Zhang Xiang rested for the cavalry.
In the end, it was cheaper Cao Cao, these chariot soldiers Cao Cao was actually prepared for breaking through, but now it was prepared for Zhang Xiang, and the chariots were generally one cart and two horses.
Its impact is much greater than that of the cavalry, and because it is a frontal confrontation, the flexibility of the cavalry will also be affected, so Zhang Xiang suffered a dark loss at the beginning, and Cao Cao is really still Cao Cao.
As soon as he gets the opportunity, he will be unforgiving, Cao Cao's chariot soldiers just opened the gap, Cao Cao ordered the cavalry to kill, it can really be said that the good steel is on the blade, it is really powerful.
Zhang Xiang could only give up the middle lane, and let the cavalry attack Cao Jun from both flanks in two separate ways, Cao Cao's chariots directly collided with Zhang Xiang's shield soldiers and heavy infantry, and Zhang Xiang could only believe that the soldiers below could block it.
Now the situation is already obvious, either the commander of Cao's army drove straight in and divided Zhang Xiang's army into two halves, or Zhang Xiang's cavalry made a contribution and cut off Cao Cao's army.
Zhang Xiang didn't expect that there would be a decisive battle at the beginning, the two sides had already omitted the stage of probing, the two sides really couldn't get acquainted with it, and the development of the war not only exceeded Zhang Xiang's expectations.
also exceeded Cao Cao's expectations, Cao Cao's dispatch of chariots was just a simple preemptive strike, after all, he had no advantage in fighting generals, so naturally he couldn't let Zhang Xiang put forward fighting generals first.
In that case, if he doesn't take it, he will take it, which is asking for his own suffering, so he will choose to strike first, and preemptiveness does not mean that it is desperate, but Zhang Xiang's response is quite desperate.
Cao Cao didn't know what Zhang Xiang was crazy about, it should be him who was more anxious than the two, why did it seem to be the other way around now, but the war was already like this.
Cao Cao couldn't retreat, so the chariot he sat on also moved forward, so the handsome flag on the car also moved forward, and the handsome flag on the battlefield could not be moved lightly, even if it was forward, he had to be cautious.
Shuai Qi forward means that the whole army is moving forward, which represents the meaning of not dying, Cao Cao has such determination, Zhang Xiang naturally has it, Zhang Xiang's Shuai Qi also follows forward, and neither side has taken a step back.
Zhang Xiang and Cao Cao could only smile bitterly, in fact, it was not that they wanted to come to this point, but that everyone pushed them to this step, and this decisive battle was fought from daytime to sunset and dusk, and the two sides retreated.
It can be said that both sides were defeated, Cao Cao neither divided Zhang Xiang's army into two halves, nor did Zhang Xiang cut Cao's army into two sections, both soldiers and soldiers lost a lot, and Zhang Xiang was distressed when he looked at it.
There were more than 10,000 casualties on the first day, this was the worst battle Zhang Xiang had ever experienced in his life, and there was no one, Cao Cao was really the most difficult opponent to solve, and Cao Cao had a city anyway.
The wounded soldiers will get a good rest after returning to the city, Zhang Xiang's camp is a little worse, there are so many wounded in one day, Zhang Xiang suddenly feels that the military tent is a little insufficient.
Zhang Xiang went to the wounded barracks, which is now twice as large as before, and some of the doctors who accompanied the army were constantly bumping into each other, very busy, and as long as they stopped, someone would die.
The corpses that came out of the wounded barracks were all pulled by small carts, the screams were incessant, there was blood everywhere, the ground of the wounded barracks changed color, and it felt like it was messy everywhere.
Zhang Xiang is very strict in governing the army, there are rules for everything, the entire camp is in order, and even the military tents must be set up neatly, Tian Ming has never seen this look.
Some of the lightly wounded could not enter the military tent, but stayed outside, after all, their injuries could not die, and a doctor with the army had to face these dozens of people, encountering this situation.
Zhang Xiang could only choose to take those seriously wounded to the rear, so that order could be restored in the camp, Zhang Xiang deliberately vacated the nearby villages, and the people inside were also relocated by Zhang Xiang.
It is to let these seriously injured people get good maintenance, they can't bear the bumps of the road, Zhang Xiang can only use this stupid method, or Cao Cao's method is simple, and the seriously injured will die directly.
made every effort to treat the lightly wounded, but Cao Cao did not give a direct order, but the soldiers below naturally formed this kind of rule, and after being injured, everyone naturally thought of themselves.
Seriously injured people are naturally not as good as those lightly injured, and the time it takes a doctor to treat a seriously injured person can treat four or five lightly injured people, and it may not be able to save lives, which can be regarded as a thankless task.
The doctor naturally chose to treat the lightly injured, so that without Cao Cao coming forward, he would automatically make the situation he wanted to see, and Cao Cao was indeed much more mature than Zhang Xiang in some aspects.
The next battle became a bit of a petty fight, as if the first day of the battle had vented the energy of both sides, and they both became timid, with Zhang Xiang as the attacking party.
It should be him who launched an offensive, but there were too many wounded in the camp to let Zhang Xiang go, Zhang Xiang felt that it was better to get the wounded things done first! He didn't want to chill the soldiers.
It was at this time that Zhang Xiang learned a news, Han Xin held Zhang Ming hostage and rushed to Jizhou, this news made Zhang Xiang even more unable to do it, and Zhang Xiang suddenly calmed down.
At first, Cao Cao was quite surprised, but it wasn't until Jia Xu reported that Cao Cao didn't know the truth of the matter, Zhang Xiang came forward to question, Cao Cao didn't make any explanation, Zhang Xiang didn't know what Cao Cao's heart was.
Zhang Xiang is also good at observing words and feelings, but Cao Cao's small eyes really can't see anything, Zhang Xiang's eyeliner has found Zhang Ming's whereabouts, but there are many people around Zhang Ming.
In addition to Han Xin, there are many people, these people are agile and vigilant, Zhang Xiang's eyeliner can't be approached, and Zhang Xiang is also afraid of hurting Zhang Ming, so he doesn't act rashly.
Zhang Xiang did not hide the news, all the generals in the army knew that Zhang Ming was kidnapped, Zhang Ming was not Zhang Xiang's only son, in recent years, Lan Ji and Zi Che Ling also gave birth to a son for Zhang Xiang.
But Zhang Ming's identity is much more noble than other heirs, he is the eldest son, and he is Zhang Xiang's future successor in the eyes of everyone, and the generals dare not speak lightly.
Zhang Xiang is to let the generals know the seriousness of the matter, and share his humiliation with the generals, so that when there is a chance, these people can burst out with greater combat power, as for Zhang Ming's safety, Zhang Xiang is not worried.
If he didn't go to Jizhou for a day, Zhang Ming was safe, Zhang Ming was a chess piece that could threaten Zhang Xiang, if he died on the way, then he would lose the reuse of the chess piece, Zhang Xiang didn't believe that Cao Cao would be so unwise.
Flesh and blood affection is the most difficult to give up, especially the relationship between mother and son, Yin Ting once planned to leave Chang'an, but was finally held back by Yin Kui, otherwise things would have gotten worse, Zhang Xiang was a little scared when he knew afterwards.
