Cao Cao hurriedly took it, looked at it quickly, and clapped his hands excitedly: "Okay!" That's great! Dian Wei immediately called all the generals! ”

"No." Dian Wei promised and withdrew from the big tent.

After a while, Cao Cao raised his voice to the expectant generals under the tent: "Generals, not long ago, our army wiped out 300,000 reinforcements from the Jin State more than 100 miles west of this place!" ”

Although everyone expected it, when they heard Cao Cao coming, they couldn't help but feel excited, and the annihilation of the enemy's 300,000 troops in one drum was exciting news no matter what.

"It's time for an all-out attack on Kukan! Woo Woo! ”

"The last general!"

"Launch a full-scale general attack early tomorrow morning! You're an Overseer! ”

"Order!" Zhang He excitedly agreed.

Just then, a herald hurried into the big tent.

"Your Majesty, the grain and grass escorted by General Zang Ba was robbed a hundred miles away from here, and 500,000 loads of grain and grass were burned!" The scout officer reported urgently.

It was not Zang Ba who was responsible for escorting the grain and grass, but a few days ago, Cao Cao sent Zang Ba to take on this role.

"What?!" Cao Cao was taken aback, and all the generals present couldn't help but be stunned.

"What's going on? Where did the enemy army come from? ”

Cao Cao asked angrily and blankly, no wonder, as far as the current situation is concerned, there should be no extra soldiers in the Jin country, did this enemy army that robbed grain and grass fall from the sky?

"Where's Zang Ba?"

"General Zang Ba is on his way here, and I believe he will arrive soon." The scout replied.

Half an hour later, Zang Ba, who was covered in blood and embarrassed, knelt down in front of Cao Cao with a sad and angry face, "Your Majesty! ”

At this time, Cao Cao was standing on top with his hands behind his back, and all the generals looked at Zang Ba with solemn faces.

Cao Cao turned around abruptly, "What about your army?" Where is your bread and grass? ”

"Annihilation! The food and grass are gone! ”

"Someone!"

Four Imperial Forest Soldiers entered the tent, clenched their fists and said, "Your Majesty! ”

Cao Cao pointed at Zang Ba and said angrily: "Drag down this defeated general who has lost his military prestige and cut it down!" ”

"No!" The Royal Forest Army made a promise, and stepped forward to hold Zang Ba.

Zang Ba raised his head and said, "Your Majesty, please apologize to the general!" ”

Cao Cao frowned, and at this time, Zhang He came out to plead: "Your Majesty, although General Zang is guilty, but for the sake of his desperate struggle, please ask Your Majesty to be gracious!" Immediately, all the generals pleaded with Cao Cao.

Zang Ba said with a touched face: "You generals don't have to intercede for me!" I, Zang Ba, should have died a long time ago! The reason why I survived was just to report the whole thing to Your Majesty! ”

Zang Ba kowtowed to Cao Cao, "Your Majesty!" ”

Cao Cao let out a long sigh, and his expression became softened.

Cao Cao walked in front of Zang Ba, motioned for the Imperial Forest Army to retreat, helped Zang Ba up, patted Zang Ba's shoulder and said to himself: "Actually, the responsibility for the defeat of this battle is not the general, but me!" If it weren't for the fact that I didn't listen to my advice, this wouldn't have happened! General Zang Ba, it's hard for you! ”

Cao Cao hugged his fist at Zang Ba, and Zang Ba was immediately moved: "Your Majesty ·······"

Cao Cao helped Zang Ba up, nodded, and returned to sit down.

Cao Cao glanced at the generals who were still kneeling, and said with a smile: "What are you still kneeling for, get up." ”

The generals stood up.

Cao Cao asked Zang Badao: "General Zang, what's going on?" Where did these raiders come from? ”

Zang Ba hugged his fists and said, "Your Majesty, I have arrested someone for you!" ”

Then he raised his voice outside the big tent, "Bring it in." ”

Immediately afterwards, an alien man wearing a felt hat and animal skin was escorted in by two bloodied soldiers and brought to his knees.

The alien man glanced around, a look of uneasiness flashed in his eyes, and Cao Cao, who rushed to the top, said a few words of bird language.

"Who is this?" Cao Cao asked Zang domineering.

Zang Ba replied: "Your Majesty, this person is an enemy general captured by the last general during the fierce battle. His name is Uhar, and he is a general of the unifying army of one of the thirteen tribes in the east of the Jin Kingdom! It was the armies of the three largest of the thirteen tribes that attacked us! ”

"Thirteen Eastern Tribes?! Aren't their armies all in the city of Kukan in front of them? Cao Cao frowned.

Zang Ba said: "According to this Wuhar, the army in Kukan City is only a small part of their men, and they have not sent the most elite to fight our army!" They don't want to die for the people of Jinguo! ”

Cao Cao smiled coldly, "Then why do you do it again now?" What do they want to do? ”

Zang Ba immediately asked in the other party's language, Zang Ba has been stationed in the northern capital all the year round, so he has some understanding of the language of these tribes.

Ulhar hesitated.

Cao Cao frowned, "Drag it down, cut it!" ”

The two Kingsmen immediately stepped forward and dragged the Uhar down. Haru grunted with a look of horror.

Zang Ba immediately reported to Cao Cao: "Your Majesty, he is willing to speak!" ”

Cao Cao smiled coldly, "Cheap bones!" Tell him that if you come from the truth, I can save him from death! Otherwise, I'll chop him up and feed him to the wolves! ”

Zang Ba immediately said in the other party's language: "You can avoid death by recruiting from the truth." Otherwise kill you and feed the wolves! ”

Uhar's face turned pale, and he nodded vigorously, and then he told him what he knew.

It turned out that a few days ago, a mysterious visitor suddenly came to the core area of the thirteen tribes and had a secret conversation with the leaders of the three largest tribes of the thirteen tribes, and then the three tribes decided to send troops!

"Mystery Visitor?! Who could it be? ”

Cao Cao muttered and shook his head, "This question is not important now!" ”

Cao Cao then learned from the mouth of Wuhar that the total population of the thirteen tribes was five or six million, scattered throughout almost the entire region of Eastern Siberia, and that the tribes were mainly nomadic, and that the men between the ages of fourteen and fifty were warriors, and the women were also proficient in horseback archery.

The three largest tribes of the thirteen tribes are the bear clan, the tiger clan, and the wolf clan, named after their respective totems, and the Uhar is the general of the bear clan, and the total population of these three tribes accounts for nearly half of the thirteen tribes: In addition, Cao Cao also learned from the mouth of the Uhar that the patriarch of the bear clan, Jun Tuo, was secretly recruiting troops and horses, and at the same time kidnapping various technicians from the West and the Great Wei.

Cao Cao pondered for a moment, and asked the Imperial Forest Army to bring Wuhar down to entertain him.

Cao Cao asked Zang Badao: "General Zang Ba, how much is the 10,000 sergeants escorted?" "It is explained here that the 10,000 soldiers who escorted the grain and grass cats belonged to the garrison of the Northern Protectorate.

Zang Ba couldn't help but show sadness, "Back to Your Majesty, there are less than a thousand people left!" ”

Cao Cao sighed and said in a deep voice: "They won't die in vain!" ”

"Immediately order Zitai and Meng Qi to come down!" Cao Cao ordered, and a herald ran out with a promise. (To be continued.) )
