Although Cao Ren's soldiers and horses were many, but due to the lack of siege equipment, the siege battle was not smooth, less than half an hour, thousands of casualties had been lost, Cao Ren saw this, the beads of sweat on his forehead kept flowing down, his hand held the handle of the knife tightly, his brows were tightly locked, and he was silent.

"General, you can't fight like this, the brothers have too many casualties!" The striker officer rode his fast horse to the banner and persuaded him.

When Cao Ren heard this, his face showed hesitation, and at this moment, I don't know who shouted, "Look! Everyone looked in the direction of the man's finger and couldn't help but sweat coldly, but they saw that in the northeast direction, a fire dragon was winding along the official road, and there were tens of thousands of people looking at the momentum.

Cao Hong was also anxious at this time, hurriedly beat his horse forward, and said: "Brother, the gentleman takes revenge, ten years is not too late, today the Shu army is big, and nothing can be done, it is better to retreat to Xudu, in order to move later!" ”

When Cao Ren heard this, he sighed and said, "Hey, that's it!" After speaking, he waved his hand and said loudly: "Pass my military order, the rear team will become the front team, and retreat south!" ”

As soon as the military order, the Cao army besieging the city retreated into the tide, and the rear team changed to the front team and headed southeast.

After a stick of incense, the fire dragon winded to the city, Young Master Zhuge and Meng Da stood on the top of the city, by the light of the fire, fixed their eyes, but the leader of the army was Zhang Fei, Liu Feng, between the city, each soldier held three torches in his hand, looking from a distance, the more than 10,000 troops had the momentum of 30,000 or 40,000 horses.

Young Master Zhuge and Meng Da ordered people to lower the drawbridge, open the city gate, and welcome Zhang Fei and Liu Feng into the city.

Above the city, everyone looked at Cao Ren's department who was far away, and they all laughed.

Cao Ren did not know the soldiers and horses in Zhang Fei's hands, thinking that the Shu army was overwhelming, in order to preserve the strength, he had to lead the army all the way east, and the next evening, the Cao army arrived at the city of Xudu. At this time, Cao Pi, who had already been believed, led Xu Du Wenwu, opened the gate, greeted Cao Ren and Cao Hong, the two saw from afar, hurriedly ordered the whole army to dismount, walked forward, and waited closer, Cao Ren and Cao Hong hugged their fists, pushed the golden mountain and poured the jade pillar, knelt down in front of Cao Pi together, bowed their hands, and shed tears.

Seeing this, Cao Pi hurriedly stepped forward, helped the two of them up, and said, "The two uncles don't have to be like this, I know everything!" Victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, and a little defeat is not enough to worry about! ”

The two of them got up, and when they heard the words, they were even more ashamed.

Cao Pi stepped forward, took Cao Ren's hand, and said, "Uncle followed his father to the south, I don't know if my father's health has always been good?" ”

When Cao Ren heard this, his face was worried, and he just wanted to tell the truth, but when he saw that the civil and military forces were there, he hurriedly changed his words: "The prime minister should be old and strong, and his health is good!" ”

Many people in the civil and military industry heard the words and showed disappointment. At this time, there were many people in the court who supported the Han Dynasty, and Cao Cao knew about this, and he was quite jealous. Historically, after Sun Quan seized Jingzhou, in order to confront Liu Bei, he once went to the table to respect Cao Cao as the emperor. After Cao Cao saw this, he threw Sun Quan's table into the fire, and said to his staff with a smile: "The widow intends to roast the lonely frame on the fire!" "It is subtle and cannot be used by outsiders.

Cao Pi took Cao Ren and Cao Hong's hands and got into his carriage together, and their army was handed over to Xiahou Shang. In the carriage, Cao Pi had already prepared wine and food, and said with a smile: "The two uncles have been working the saddle horse all the way, and the nephew knows that the two of you must have been hungry for a long time, and the family banquet in the house is still early, and the nephew is afraid that the two uncles will be hungry, so they specially prepared wine and food in the car for the purpose of satisfying hunger." ”

The two of them were overjoyed when they heard this, and they couldn't help but be overjoyed when they saw that the wine and food were quite exquisite. Cao Ren thanked him: "It's still thoughtful to the prince, the old man is indeed hungry for a long time!" ”

Cao Pi smiled and made a gesture of invitation, and said, "Then don't be polite!" It's all my own family here, and the two uncles don't have to be formal, just take care of themselves! ”

The two of them were overjoyed when they heard this, so they ate it by themselves, and devoured it, so happy!

After a while, Cao Hong picked up a glass of wine, drank it all, then wiped his mouth with his sleeve and said with a smile: "Damn, I haven't been so happy for a long time!" Cool! ”

Cao Ren also patted his stomach and said with a smile: "Good wine and good food, thank you for today!" ”

Seeing that the two of them were full, Cao Pi nodded with a smile and asked, "The two uncles came from Wancheng, what is the situation over there now?" ”

It's okay not to say it, but when they mentioned this matter, their emotions suddenly plummeted, Cao Ren slapped his thigh and said, "Hey, it's fucking in the hands of Zhang Fei's husband again!" ”

When Cao Pi heard this, he nodded and said, "I originally thought that Zhang Fei was brave and unscrupulous, but he was just a reckless person, but after these battles, I knew that this person was extraordinary!" ”

Hearing this, Cao Hong nodded, and said: "This guy is second only to Guan Yu among the generals under Liu Bei's command, and it is impossible to have some ability!" General Zhang Jaw suffered his losses in Langzhong back then, and his talent was not under Guan Yu! ”

When Cao Pi heard this, his brows furrowed, and he said: "Now that Wancheng has fallen, the grain route of the front-line army will be cut off!" At this time, you must report to your father immediately! ”

Hearing this, Cao Ren waved his hand and said, "Shizi, when we left Wancheng, we had already sent a messenger to Xiangfan!" ”

When Cao Pi heard this, he was overjoyed and said, "So I'm relieved!" ”

Cao Ren suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly asked, "Shizi, how many soldiers and horses does Xu Du have?" ”

"More than three thousand!" Cao Pi stretched out three fingers and replied.

When Cao Ren heard this, his brows tightened, and he thought about it secretly, and said: "Yesterday we led the crowd to attack Wancheng, Zhang Fei suddenly arrived with troops, and it looked like there were tens of thousands of people. Now that we have joined forces, there are only more than 20,000 soldiers and horses in Xudu, which is not enough to resist the enemy. Therefore, the last general suggested that soldiers and horses should be recruited from the people of Xudu County immediately in case of contingencies! ”

When Cao Pi heard this, he clapped his hands and said with a smile: "This is exactly what I want, let the two uncles handle this matter!" ”

Hearing this, the two glanced at each other, nodded, and said, "Obey the orders of the prince!" ”

Cao Pi set up a banquet in the prince's mansion to catch the wind for Cao Hong and Cao Ren, and all the civil and military came to cheer, and the banquet did not disperse until midnight.

When everyone dispersed, Cao Ren and Cao Hong were already drunk and unconscious! Cao Pi ordered the two to be sent back to their respective mansions to rest.

Sending Cao Ren and Cao Hong away, Cao Pi turned around and returned to the backyard, at this time a person had been waiting here for a long time, and then the moonlight saw that it was Sima Yi.

"Zhongda, you're here!" Cao Pi drank a lot of wine2 and stumbled a little.

Seeing Cao Pi coming, Sima Yi hurriedly stepped forward to help, but Cao Pi pushed Sima Yi away and said with a smile: "I'm not drunk!" ”

The two of them entered the study one after the other.

In the study, Cao Pi drank a bowl of hangover soup, his face was slightly better, and after a while, he smiled: "No, if I was young, I wouldn't be drunk in two jars!" ”

When Sima Yi heard this, he persuaded him: "Shizi, drinking hurts your body, you need to drink carefully!" ”

Hearing this, Cao Pi nodded, and said, "What Zhong Da said, is also reasonable!" ”
