Cao's army, which retreated like the wind, left the battlefield in an instant, and nearly 40,000 people left non-stop at night.

Dian Wei and Xu Chu have returned, followed by the return of the army and Xiahou and Ledian, the two led a partial division into Chang'an City, but in the end out of the city is less than half of the people, Xiahou and Le Dian each with injuries, including Xu Chu who entered the city to rescue Xu Chu also hit an arrow in the back, the process of retreat is not long, but it is unusually tragic, was slashed and killed by Ju Yi with people, if it is not for the four people of Apollus Wei Xu Chu Xiahou Dian Le Dian is the world's top general, I am afraid that the 20,000 Cao troops who entered the city will be swallowed alive by the tiger and wolf army.

Even so, half of the soldiers and horses were damaged, the faces of the two of them were still a little ugly, and there was no trace of joy at all, and nearly 10,000 elite soldiers and horses were killed at once, and then counting the loss outside the city, Cao Jun's painstaking and laborious attack, not only did not pick any results, but the soldiers and horses reached more than 30,000 losses, which was already the worst defeat of the Cao army in recent years, when Lu Bu attacked Yanzhou, the death of the defenders in each county was only about 20,000, and now, The fighting outside Chang'an alone caused such a large number of casualties, and after the casualties were reported, Cao Cao's face collapsed in an instant, fortunately, he was not a person who could not afford to let go, for this number of casualties, he was probably prepared in his heart, and after comforting the emotions of the soldiers with a strong smile, he ordered a rapid gallop, his idea was to leave the battlefield first, so the speed was much faster than Liu Bei.

In less than two quarters of an hour, Cao Jun galloped more than ten kilometers away. Fortunately, there was no sound of enemy horses behind them, so everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but when they saw the corpses on the ground, and the ground that seemed to be dyed red with paint, everyone's hearts lifted again.

"What's going on?"

When Cao Cao was closing his eyes and recuperating, the chariot stopped, and Dian Wei and Xu Chu, who were on the wheel, looked at the soldiers who suddenly stopped in front of them, and they were a little confused.

"Back to the lord. It's what happened to the former army. Stopped. Dian Wei said in a loud voice.

When Cao Cao heard this, his brows frowned slightly, and he couldn't hear the shouts of killing around, but it didn't look like an enemy was coming. What happened to the former army? You have to stop.

"Evil comes. Let people check it out. Cao Cao said in a deep voice.

"Whoa." Dian Wei responded.

Soon, one of Cao Cao's guards ran over and collided head-on with the two brothers, the pioneer Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan. Xiahoudun obviously knew this guard, and he stopped him and said, "No need to go, my brother is about to report to the lord." ”

When the guard heard this, he turned back with Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Yuan.

Seeing the two brothers Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan coming over, Cao Cao's upper body straightened slightly, looked at the two of them from above, and said, "What's the matter?" ”

Xiahoudun and Xiahou Yuan glanced at each other, but saw Xiahou Yuan take a step forward, and said with a solemn face: "There are corpses everywhere in front, look at the many people who are dressed in the Xiliang Army, and there are also black armor and Bingzhou tiger wolves, it is very tragic, at a glance, you can't see the edge, in the opinion of the last general, the number of dead on both sides is at least more than 50,000." ”

"So much?"

Cao Cao's eyes flashed with a gleam, and with more than 50,000 casualties, he couldn't help but put a question mark on Yuan Shang's troops again.

"Go, let the two gentlemen come over." Cao Cao ordered.

"Whoa." A guard didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly trotted to find Guo Jia and Cheng Yu.

At this time, Guo Jia and Cheng Yu were resting, Cheng Yu was fine, Guo Jia was a little exhausted, such a long-distance attack, coupled with an afternoon of watching the battle, his body was already a little unbearable, if it wasn't for hard support, I'm afraid he would have fallen long ago, and Cheng Yu was counting the loss of this battle, these things need to be recorded in the book for archiving in the future, Guo Jia is exhausted, and this drudgery has to fall on Cheng Yu.

After receiving Cao Cao's request, Cheng Yu and the drowsy Guo Jia hurriedly rushed over, and the two military strategists had their own carriages, which were not far from Cao Cao's chariots, and they could be reached in two or three minutes.

"It's coming"

Guo Jia and Cheng Yu nodded, seeing that the generals were there, they secretly wondered if something big had happened?

Cao Cao said in a clear voice: "Let's go, let's go over and have a look." ”

Guo Jia and Cheng Yu didn't know what to do, but they still followed Cao Cao and many generals over, from the Chinese army to the front army, the road was naturally not far, a small road, Cao Cao and two military advisers and many generals more than 20 people, slowly walked over.

As soon as the people arrived, a strong smell of blood rushed towards them, and more than a dozen generals who were fighting in the army felt strange discomfort, not to mention Guo Jia and Cheng Yu, the two strategists.

Cheng Yu is naturally okay, as a rare person under Cao Cao's command who is both civil and military, with martial arts disciples by his side, in addition to feeling some abnormal discomfort, it is not uncomfortable.

On the contrary, Guo Jia, who was not in good health, was almost choked by this strong smell of blood, and his already pale face became a little whiter.

"Prodigal son, is there anything wrong?" Cao Cao got out of the chariot and patted Guo Jia on the shoulder, a little worried.

Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Xiahou Yuan, Xiahou Yuan, Yu Ban Le Dian and other generals also looked at Guo Jia with some concern, Guo Jia was very prestigious in the Cao army, and although he was dissolute in life, he was sincere, so many generals were friendly with him, and there was some friendship, and the generals were also a little worried about Guo Jia's physical condition.

"I'm fine."

The strong smell of blood came suddenly, and after getting used to it, he didn't feel uncomfortable, Guo Jia only felt uncomfortable for a moment, and the feeling of suffocation dissipated in an instant.

"That's good."

Cao Cao's eyes could not hide his worry, Guo Jia's physical condition has always been a piece of his heart, so many years, Cao Cao has visited famous doctors, but none of them can package tickets to cure Guo Jia, they are prescribed some so-called secret recipes, the medicine is a lot, but Guo Jia has not improved, and even with the passage of time, it has become more and more serious, so angry that Cao Cao has killed more than a dozen so-called famous doctors, for Guo Jia, everyone can see that Cao Cao's attention to him has far exceeded that of many strategists.

Guo Jia and Cheng Yu lowered their bodies, carefully examined the clothes of the two soldiers and horses, and then looked at the surrounding environment, glanced at each other, and saw a trace of heaviness in each other's eyes.

Cao Cao, who had been watching Guo Jia and Cheng Yu, raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Did you find anything?" ”

Guo Jia and Cheng Yu nodded slightly, but heard Cheng Yu say: "It seems that Dong Zhuo and Yuan Shang's division have handed over, no wonder, no wonder our army and Liu Bei and Yuan Shang are fighting so hotly in Chang'an City, this guy didn't take the opportunity to kill two birds with one stone, now it seems that it's not that Dong Zhuo doesn't want to, but that Yuan Shang doesn't give him a chance, this corpse everywhere, not to mention 50,000, this battle is too tragic, in my opinion, Dong Zhuo was absolutely completely beaten down this time." ”

When Cao Cao heard this, his face was slightly gloomy, without a trace of joy.

Cheng Yu turned a blind eye and continued: "If Dong Zhuo is defeated, then Guanzhong will completely fall into the hands of Yuan Shang. ”

Guo Jia also frowned slightly: "The little emperor should still be in the hands of that person in Chang'an." ”

"How?" Cao Cao asked.

Guo Jia's eyes flashed with a hint of brilliance, and said: "There is news that the little emperor has been rescued from Li Ru, as for the truth of the news, in my opinion, it should be true, if Dong Zhuo does not want to become the target of the public again, the little emperor must give up, for him, giving up the little emperor is just giving up a tool that can be controlled, if Dong Zhuo was a few years ago, he might have hesitated for a moment, but now in this situation, even if Dong Zhuo does not want to give up, Li Ru will persuade Dong Zhuo to let the little emperor go, As long as the princes from all walks of life have ideas about the little emperor, Dong Zhuo can sit back and reap the benefits of the fisherman, which is a matter of killing two birds with one stone, with the wisdom of Li Ru, he will definitely admonish Dong Zhuo, which is beyond doubt. ”

"The prodigal son is right."

Cheng Yu also nodded and said: "Now there are two choices in front of us, one is to turn the horse's head and kill back to Chang'an, bet that the little emperor is still in Chang'an, and the second is to continue to track Dong Zhuo's traces, betting that the little emperor is in Dong Zhuo's hands, as long as the lord wants to compete with Yuan Shang, the little emperor can't give up." ”

When Cao Cao heard this, his face changed, and Guo Jia and Cheng Yu looked at Cao Cao calmly, no matter what, this is indeed a difficult thing to choose, once the wrong choice, not to mention losing the whole game, it will be enough to make Cao Cao languid for three or five years.

Everyone looked at Cao Cao, more than two generals, two strategists, and a pair of eyes, waiting for Cao Cao's choice.

"Let's go, kill him." Cao Cao gritted his teeth and said loudly.

"Whoa." Cao Junzhong resolutely hugged his fists. (To be continued......)
