In the eighth year of the Warring States period, January 10.

Afternoon.

Cao Cao converged on the north bank of the Yellow River with the tigers and leopards who traveled south from Bingzhou day and night, and although Cao Chun led tens of thousands of tigers and leopards to return a step later, Cao Cao finally felt a little at ease.

With the reinforcement of the tiger and leopard cavalry, plus Zhang Baicai, who Cao Cao is now converging, and Xun You's Yecheng soldiers and horses, he can be regarded as completely stabilizing the situation in Luoyang.

At this time, he also got the news that Wu Jun had withdrawn from Luoyang two days ago.

This is to be expected.

Sun Quan couldn't kill him with one blow, so naturally he wouldn't be stupid and wait for death in Luoyang City.

The battle of Guanzhong has reached this point, the offensive and defensive positions of the two sides have been reversed, the main attack will become the Wei army, and the Wu army led by Sun Quan should flee for their lives.

It's time for revenge yourself!

On the morning of January 11, Cao Cao, escorted by the tigers and leopards, crossed the Yellow River with full of anger, and returned to the devastated city of Luoyang from Anximen in the north of Luoyang.

At this moment, the city of Luoyang no longer has the demeanor of the capital of the Great Wei, a lonely street, full of trembling people hiding at home, that depressing and cold atmosphere......

These things have become the grief and indignation in Cao Cao's heart.

"Wen Ruo, I'm sorry for the people of Luoyang City!" Cao Cao rode into the city, facing the cold street, and said in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty, don't think too much!"

Xun Yu took a deep breath and said comfortingly: "Luoyang is still there, Wu Jun is not a barbarian like Dong Zhuo back then, and he hasn't done too many things to disturb the people and slaughter, as long as we appease it properly, the minister is confident that the prosperous Luoyang City can be restored in a month!" ”

"Your Majesty, Shangyang Palace has been burned down, it is better to return to Luoshui Palace in the east of the city first!"

Xun You stood up. Said suggestively.

"No need, go to Shangyang Palace!"

Cao Cao's eyes sharpened, and he said categorically.

In front of the gate of Shangyang Palace, where the Wei army appeared, the ruins of Shangyang Palace where the flames had not been completely extinguished were reflected in their eyes.

"Destroying the palace and leaving a name, this is to kill people and punish the heart, so ruthless Sun Zhongmou!"

Cao Cao clenched his fists. His eyes widened.

In the past, the magnificent and magnificent Cao Wei Palace City has now been razed to the ground in a little flame, and what is even more shameful is the golden dragon battle flag that was erected in front of the palace gate.

Flying dragon in the sky, splendid Wu characters!

The unusually dazzling banner of this battle made countless Wei soldiers hold back a sense of shame in their hearts, and they were angry one by one, gritting their teeth.

"Bastard thing!"

The tiger and leopard rode the capital governor Cao Chun couldn't help but ride out of the horse. Raise your sword, wanting to cut off this battle flag with one sword.

"Stop!" Cao Cao stopped him suddenly.

"Your Majesty, why?"

"Since this is what Sun Zhongmou left, let's stay here!"

Cao Cao raised his head, looked at this very dazzling battle flag, his face was expressionless, his expression was cold, and the corners of his mouth slightly outlined a self-deprecating smile: "Even if we cut this battle flag." It can't change the fact that the capital of Great Wei was broken by the Wu army, so it's better to bear it calmly. Leave this battle flag and plant it here, I want to remind myself all the time that my Great Wei can't even keep my own capital! ”

There is some shame that can't be erased, so stay there. Turning the angle around, this can also become the driving force for the Wei army to boost the morale of the army.

"Your Majesty!"

Cao Chun's eyes were red, and his breath was violent: "This Sun Zhongmou just wants to humiliate us and others, why do we want to leave this battle flag!" ”

"In ancient times, there was a hook, and the country was ruined. It is still possible to lie down and taste the courage, regroup, make a comeback, and make a comeback, and now, it is just the destruction of the city of Luoyang, and my Great Wei will not perish, I am willing to follow suit and revive the style of Great Wei! ”

Cao Cao rode up, word by word, with high momentum, not half decadent at all, a fighting spirit that seemed to be able to infect the mood of all soldiers: "Killed by Wu thieves in front of the house, that I am incompetent, the palace city destroyed by Wu thieves, with the battle flag Yang Wei, this is my shame, it is the shame of Great Wei, but it is also the shame of you, you are willing to wash away the shame with blood?" ”

"We swear to wash away this shame in blood!"

"We swear to wash away this shame in blood!"

All the generals of the Wei army were resonated by Cao Cao's words, and they looked at the Dongwu battle flag flying in the wind, and the soldiers were filled with righteous indignation.

"Haha, okay, this is my Dawei Erlang!"

Cao Cao felt the morale of the Wu army, and couldn't help but look up to the sky and laugh, and made up his mind: "The palace city has been destroyed, I don't want to waste the people's fat and ointment to build the palace again, I am willing to set up a house under the banner and live in it, and remind myself all the time, one day I will not insert the Great Wei battle flag into Jinling City, this flag, I will never pull it out, please encourage you!" ”

"The king humiliates the ministers to death, and we vow to insert the Great Wei Battle Banner into Jinling City!"

Prime Minister Xun Yu knelt down on his knees and responded to Cao Cao's ambition.

"We vow to insert the Great Wei Battle Banner into Jinling City!"

"We vow to insert the Great Wei Battle Banner into Jinling City!"

The soldiers of the Wei army, as if they had come out of the low morale of the capital being breached, were inflated and high-spirited, raising their heads and shouting.

Looking at the morale of the Wei army, Cao Cao breathed a sigh of relief, he could not do anything, but the morale of the army could not be chaotic, and the morale could not fall.

In the spirit of high morale, the generals began to tidy up the ruins of Shangyang Palace.

Cao Cao was in front of the ruins of Shangyang Palace, under the Wuzi Golden Dragon Battle Flag, he set up camp and set up a village, and the battle flag was in front of his camp gate, as if reminding him all the time.

"Your Majesty, does Shangyang Palace need to be rebuilt?" Xun Yu asked.

"I've already said it, no need!"

Cao Cao shook his head: "You can build an ordinary mansion for my wife and children, the Great Wei suffers from this, I am unavoidable, I need to be vigilant, from now on, I am alone, under this banner, I will not destroy the Eastern Wu, and I will not build a palace city!" ”

"Your Majesty?"

Xun Yu looked at Cao Cao's expression, his heart throbbed slightly, saying it is one thing, doing it is another, Cao Cao has made up his mind.

"Do what I say!"

Cao Cao's eyes flickered with determination.

"No!" Xun Yu nodded.

"Luoyang is the capital of the Great Wei, the capital has been breached, and the people's hearts are in turmoil, so it is inevitable that the people's hearts must be appeased, and my Great Wei officials were killed by Lu Bu Sun Ce on the bank of the Yellow River. The vitality is badly damaged, and you also need to deal with it well, and you can't get out of chaos again! ”

Cao Cao looked at Xun Yu and said instructively.

The battle of Luoyang was actually growing in scale, and there were no 100,000 people in the battle. However, the damage caused to Great Wei was at least as much as the destruction of 200,000 troops.

"The minister understands!"

Xun Yu nodded and withdrew from the camp, after the chaos, he must be governed, as the prime minister of Great Wei, things are very busy.

"Your Majesty, on the south bank of Luoshui, on the plain south of Shangyang Bridge, we found the large tombs of General Xu Chu and four thousand one hundred and twenty-one tiger soldiers. It was erected by Wu Jun, or the tombstone set up by Sun Zhongmou himself, and it was buried on the battlefield of the Shangyang Bridge! ”

Jia Xu walked in and said.

"Where's Zhicai?"

Cao Cao felt a slight pain in his heart, and asked in a low voice.

"Lord Taiwei was personally beheaded by Sun Quan on the bank of the Luoshui River, and he was not buried, he was lying on a good coffin, and the coffin was at the mouth of the Shangyang Bridge. It should be that Wu Jun can stay and let His Majesty bury him personally! ”

"Sun Zhongmou is quite atmospheric!"

Cao Cao sighed. The living have the competition of the living, and the dead also have the value of the dead, Sun Quan This is the integrity of respecting the opera Zhicai, so he left his corpse, otherwise he would bring the bones of the opera Zhicai back to Wu State, and he could also humiliate Cao Wei.

"I'm going to cross the river!"

Cao Cao walked out of the camp. Riding the horse towards Luoshui.

The pontoon bridge built by Wu Jun at the beginning was not demolished, anyway, it was of no value, and it didn't matter whether it was demolished or not, Cao Cao crossed the river smoothly and looked at the bloody battlefield on the south bank of Shangyang Bridge.

The blood on the ground was dark and red. But it is an indelible trace left by this great war.

"Zhicai, Zhongkang, I'm back!"

Cao Cao looked at a lonely grave and a coffin, his heart was sad and angry, but his expression was calm, which made several guards around him feel inexplicably creepy.

He just stood there silently, silent.

"Zhong Xuan!" He didn't speak until half a ring.

"Your Majesty!"

Zhong Xuan came up, and he made a meritorious contribution to the rescue in the first battle of Luoyang City, and his status in Cao Cao's heart rose greatly.

"Zhong Kang was crowned as the Tiger Ben Martyr, buried by the national soldiers, erected a statue in front of the bridge, rebuilt the Shangyang Bridge, renamed the Tiger Ben Bridge, and put the Tiger Ben soldiers into the annals of the Great Wei Dynasty in the name of the martyrs!"

"No!"

"Xi Zhicai was crowned as a first-class god and wise king, buried on the top of the mountain with the rites of the king, and erected a giant statue on the north side, let him look down on my Great Wei Luoyang, and let him see how I dominate the world!"

Cao Cao said word by word, and he said it very seriously.

"No!"

Zhong Xuan was a little surprised in his heart, this is an unprecedented big gift in the Great Wei Dynasty, if it is placed in the previous dynasty, it is a funeral that only the king of the clan has.

At this time, a spy from a ghost soldier came in a hurry and whispered a few words of military information in Jia Xu's ear.

"Your Majesty, the scout has found traces of the cavalry of the Wu Army in Hongnong Guandao!" Jia Xu reported: "It is Sun Quan's main force!" ”

"He's been going south for a few days, and he's still in Hongnong?"

Cao Cao's eyes became sharp: "No, there is no wind and snow these days, the weather is good, with the foot strength of their cavalry, shouldn't they leave Hongnong and enter Jingzhao?" ”

"Your Majesty, the power of the Hongnong Yang clan has been intercepted a little!"

Jia Xu said in a low voice: "The strength of the Guanzhong family is still good, at the beginning, Sun Quan just hit suddenly, so he can go north smoothly, he wants to go back now, the Guanzhong family will not let him slip away so smoothly, these Guanzhong family's relationship network is intricate, every city has a certain strength, they don't need to send troops, as long as they destroy the gallop of the main trunk, close the city gate and don't accept it, the speed of the Wu army will be half slower!" ”

"Haha, it seems that I can leave a few Wu Jun generals to accompany my Great Wei Huben soldiers to the funeral!"

Cao Cao said coldly.

Time is the key to the battle, once you wait for the main force of Xiliang to be put back in Guanzhong, then it is impossible for the Wu army to get out smoothly, even if you don't leave Sun Quan, at least kill three fierce generals.

"Your Majesty, the last general will ask for war, the Wu army will destroy my Great Wei capital, this enmity is not shared, the last general is willing to immediately lead the tiger and leopard to ride south, be sure to intercept Sun Zhongmou, and leave his head!"

Cao Chun stood up and shouted to fight.

"Yes!"

Cao Cao nodded: "Zihe, you be careful, try not to engage the Wu army head-on, drag them down, and wait for Fengxiao and them to lead the troops back to have a chance of winning!" ”

He did not underestimate Cao Chun and the tiger and leopard riding, but had to be afraid of the combined combat effectiveness of Lu Bu, Zhao Zilong and other fierce generals.

"No!"

Cao Chun immediately ordered his troops to go south.

"Junming, you go and help him!" Cao Cao thought for a moment and said.

"Your Majesty, your safety ......" Although Dian Wei's fighting spirit soared, he was even more worried that Cao Cao had no one around him to protect him.

"Luoyang is safe, there are Zhang Bai's Yellow Turban Army, Xun Yu's Yecheng soldiers, there will be no big problem, and Yuan Rang has already led the troops in Hangu Pass, less than a day's distance, you can rest assured that in the first battle of Luoyang, Zhongkang died in battle, even if you avenge him, at all costs, you must leave them a fierce general to accompany Zhongkang!"

Cao Cao said fiercely.

"No!" Dian Wei was relieved and rode his horse away with the army.

"Your Majesty, do you think General Cao Chun was not able to leave Sun Zhongmou?"

On the bank of the Luoshui River, Jia Xu stood beside Cao Cao, squinted slightly, looked at Cao Cao's calm and without a trace of desire to fight, and suddenly asked.

He knew Cao Cao, such a great humiliation, he would definitely report it personally, if Cao Chun's tiger and leopard cavalry had a thirty percent chance of leaving Sun Quan, Cao Cao would not let him go south alone, he would fight in person.

However, he did not personally go south to fight, which means that he had already decided in his heart that Cao Chun's tiger and leopard cavalry, as well as the main force of the Wei army's Xiliang, could not spare Sun Quan's life.

"I guess there's no chance!"

Cao Cao nodded, and said indifferently: "I am already satisfied with the few generals who can leave Sun Quan's side, Zhao Zilong, Lu Bu, Sun Ce, just with these three fierce generals, even if we kill one of the Wu army and annihilate the whole army, we can't leave Sun Zhongmou, the battle between Wei and Wu has just begun, and the future is long!" ”

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

When Jia Xu heard this, his heart suddenly calmed down, became clear, and said to Cao Cao: "We are all blinded by shame, and we want to keep Sun Quan at any cost, but it is not as calm as Your Majesty, and it is estimated that it will be very difficult to leave Sun Quan, but if you concentrate your forces to kill the fierce generals around him, it is very promising!" ”

"If Ma Chao Pang De and they can block Chang'an, Sun Zhongmou's tens of thousands of cavalry will be left at least half, and as for the generals around Sun Zhongmou, no one knows how much we can stay!"

Cao Cao squinted, and a sneer rose at the corner of his mouth: "If I can leave Lu Bu Sun Ce behind, I will not be in vain in this shame of breaking the city and escaping for my life!" ”

"Your Majesty, there is also Wuguan!"

Jia Xu thought for a while and said: "If Sun Quan leaves Guanzhong from Wuguan, Nanyang's troops may not be able to block him, Tai Shici and Ju Yi attacked Zhang Xiu in Nanyang, and Zhang Xiu's troops are not enough to block Sun Quan's cavalry!" ”

"I have already rushed eight hundred miles when the Battle of Luoyang started, and ordered Zhang Xiu to block Wuguan, as long as he takes Wuguan first, Sun Quan can't rush out, so Zhang Xiu has already sent Hu Che'er, the strongest general under his command, to go north to Wuguan, this road is not passable!"

Cao Cao said coldly: "He Sun Zhongmou only has two roads now, either he forcibly breaks into Xiliang, or he returns the same way, no matter which way, he has to leave his life to buy the road, just see whose life it is!" (To be continued.) )
