"My lord, it's all to blame on Captain Chang, who was afraid of the rolling stones on the mountain, etc., and hesitated, causing the enemy's Tiger Guards to attack our rear! If it weren't for this, even if he was defeated, General Cao would have been able to retreat with his whole body! Cao Yong cried. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"How can this be!! Why are you the only one coming back, and where is Captain Chang now! Cao Cao said angrily.

"Report! Lord, Captain Chang Diao and Captain Chang have returned with the defeated soldiers! At this time, Cao Cao's subordinates came in to report.

When Cao Cao heard this, he sneered and ordered: "Bring Chang Diao in!" ”

After a while, Chang Diao brought it, and after seeing Cao Cao, he glanced at Cao Yong standing behind Cao Cao with a complicated expression, he didn't understand when Cao Yong escaped, but it was certain that Cao Yong must have fled the battlefield before him! Now that Cao Yong had seen Cao Cao one step ahead of him, he must have reported to Cao Cao about Cao Ren and the others dying in battle.

Cao Yong also glanced at Chang Diao with mixed eyes and nodded slightly.

Chang Diao took a deep breath, didn't dare to look at Cao Cao's angry eyes, pounced, knelt in front of Cao Cao, clenched his fists, and looked guilty.

"Lord, the subordinates' poor rescue has caused General Cao to be killed, please punish the lord!"

Cao Cao stared at the kneeling Chang Diao in front of him, his face kept changing, and countless thoughts flashed in his heart, but in the end he suppressed his anger, this is a general who is comparable to Cao Ren in martial arts, and he is also Cao Ren's most trusted subordinate, but now because of his mistake, Cao Ren is killed in battle!! If it is a low-level general, you don't need to ask too much, just pull it out and behead it.

"Say, why don't you attack at the first opportunity? Also, is it because you didn't attack, so your opponent Xu Chu split his forces to attack the rear of Cao Ren's army? Cao Cao's voice became unusually cold.

Chang Diao heard the sound and chuckled violently in his heart, his body trembled slightly, and his complexion changed greatly.

In the battle with Feng Yao, Chang Diao can be said to have done nothing wrong, the only mistake is to underestimate Feng Yaojun's combat power!

At that time, if Chang Diao saw that Cao Ren's army was burned, if he immediately attacked the mountain, he would definitely suffer the same result, and if he crossed the river to aid Cao Ren, the enemy would definitely attack his rear when he was halfway crossing! Moreover, it has also been proved that if you had crossed the river at that time, you would have drowned countless people in the following flood without waiting for the enemy to attack.

The best thing to do is to wait where you are!

If Chang Diao knew in advance that Feng Yaojun was so brave that even Cao Ren would not be able to escape death, he would definitely rush up the mountain early, even if he gave the lives of those 3,000 Qingzhou soldiers, he must contain the enemy's Tiger Guards and prevent them from dividing their troops to attack Cao Ren.

The three armies are easy to obtain, but one will be hard to find!!

It doesn't matter if the 10,000 Qingzhou soldiers are dead, at most Cao Cao can only scold a few words, but now Cao Cao's most trusted cousin, Cao Ren, one of the three generals of Cao Cao's arm, died in battle, and he escaped alive as a general!!

Chang Diao choked up and said: "My subordinates have tried their best to save General Cao, and it was not until General Cao died in battle that my subordinates decided to retreat, and every soldier who came back with me can prove my words!" ”

"Hmph, those soldiers are all your subordinates, how can you make people believe it!" Cao Cao said.

Chang Diao looked at Cao Yong for help, hugged his fists and said: "Captain Cao, you should have retreated after General Cao died in battle, you should know that what I said is true!" ”

A trace of ruthlessness flashed in Cao Yong's eyes, ignoring Chang Diao's words, but he knelt down violently and said bitterly: "Lord, General Cao is the clan brother of his subordinates, if his subordinates were still awake at that time, how could they let General Cao be killed?" At that time, the wood on the mountain hit down, just swept the head of the subordinates, if it wasn't for the bright light helmet sweeped, the subordinates would have died a long time ago, when the subordinates were swept down, they fell into a coma, and then when they woke up, they happened to see Captain Chang running for his life, and General Cao He ......, the lord, the subordinates were incompetent, and the subordinates knew that they had to come back to explain everything to the lord, so they desperately fled back! ”

After that, Cao Yong fell to the ground and cried, his voice was very miserable!

"You! You......! Chang Diao was shocked, he didn't expect Cao Yong to say such a thing, looking at Cao Yong, he was dumbfounded and speechless.

Cao Cao's eyes flashed with murderous aura, and he shouted angrily: "Chang Diao, what else do you have to say!" Left and right, pull Chang Diao down for me, and behead him immediately according to military law! ”

"Lord!! I ...... "Chang Carving's face was like ashes, he wanted to speak and stopped, and finally lowered his head and let Cao Cao's personal soldiers tie him up, not wanting to say more, bent on death!" After all, Cao Yong is Cao Cao's clan, since Cao Cao and Cao Yongju both want him to die, what else can they do? If the two of them are resentful again, I am afraid that their families will not be protected, but it is better to die now, and let Cao Cao pity his wife and take care of him!

The two pro-soldiers escorted Chang Diao to the door, just when Gong Cao Mao Jue arrived when he heard the news, he immediately stopped him and said, "Wait a minute, wait for me to intercede with the lord!" ”

Mao Jue saw Cao Cao anxiously and asked, "Lord, why do you want to behead Captain Chang?" ”

Cao Cao ordered Cao Yong to narrate, and Mao Jue said sadly: "Please mourn on the Lord's Day!" However, now that our army is employing people, if the general is beheaded because of this, I am afraid that it will make the army's heart vibrate, so it is better to demote Chang Diao and punish him, and then make him atone for his crimes! ”

Cao Cao knew that Mao Jie had always had a clear distinction between public and private, and had always only acted on the basis of facts, so he would let Mao Jie take on such an important position as Cao, Cao Cao also understood that although Chang Diao was at fault, he did not die for the crime, and Mao Jue pleaded, so he nodded and responded: "Since filial piety intercedes first, then temporarily avoid Chang Diao's death, you can arrange the rest, I don't want to see him again for the time being!" ”

After sending Chang Diao away, Cao Cao immediately gathered all the generals, ordered Man Chong, Mao Jue and others to guard Linzi to resist Zang Ba's attack, and personally led an army of 30,000 to attack Laiwu.

Xiahoudun is the forward general, leading 10,000 troops, and the deputy generals are Han Hao, Shi Lian, etc

Cao Cao personally led Dian Wei, Cao Xiu and other generals, and ordered Cao Hong to escort grain and grass for the rear army, all the way to Laiwu.

From Linzi to Laiwu, about eighty miles of road, along the Zishui, to the slope of Cao Ren's death, the sky will be late, and the world is also raining lightly, Cao Cao ordered Xiahoudun's forward to be stationed on the mountain, the Chinese army and the rear army are stationed on the bank of the Zishui River.

This time, Cao Cao learned the lesson of being broken by Feng Yao, and all the troops were concentrated on the west bank of Zishui.

The scout in front came to report that Cao Ren's grave was found on the hillside, Cao Cao was so sad that he came to the tomb and cried and fainted several times, vowing: "If you don't break Laiwu City, you will not return to the army!" ”

But soon, Cao Cao learned the news that Banyang City was breached by Wei Yan, and the news that Lu Chang was captured by Feng Yaojun!

I had to ask Yu Xizhong again, and Xizhong said: "My subordinates think that this rain will rain for at least seven days, and then the mountain floods will be rampant, the ground will be muddy, and it will be difficult for vehicles and ships to enter, even if our army attacks Laiwu City, there is no way to use siege equipment!" It is better to retreat twenty miles for the time being, and order the army to be stationed in Changguo City, which can not only prevent Wei Yan from attacking Changguo City and cutting off our army's rear route, but also prevent the army from getting sick because of the rain!
