The sound of horses' hooves sounded hurriedly, and in an instant, Shamoke had already come to Liu Xiu's side.

Liu Xiu smiled and said, "Shamoke, how is the battle going?"

Shamoke glanced at Cao '' on the other side, and stopped talking about 'desire'.

Cao '' smiled slightly, but did not speak. In Cao's '' view, Shamoke's 'desire' stopped talking, I am afraid that Liu Xiu's army was defeated, otherwise Shamoke would have said it directly.

Liu Xiu said: "It's okay, just say it." ”

Shamoke said: "Back to the lord, both battlefields have been won. Among them, in the first battle of Meridian Road, Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Ba were killed, and all the soldiers under Xiahou Yuan surrendered. In the first battle of the ambush, Yu Ban surrendered, more than half of the soldiers under Yu Ban were killed, and the rest of the soldiers surrendered. In this battle, the Meridian Road lost no more than a thousand soldiers. General Wen Ping ambushed Yu Ban, and not a single soldier was lost. ”

"Impossible!"

After Cao '' listened, he didn't even think about it, so he directly denied it.

Not to mention the life and death of Xiahou Yuan and Yu Ban, just to say that Wen Ping ambushed Yu Ban, not a single soldier was lost, this is impossible, and it is impossible to win without losing a soldier.

Shamoko glared at Cao's '', with an expression that you don't believe it.

Liu Xiu said: "Prime Minister, it seems that you lost this battle." ”

Cao 'Cao' said: "Liu Xiu, you don't want to disturb the morale of the soldiers under the command of Benxiang. ”

Liu Xiu shook his head and said, "What is the situation of the battle, as long as you inquire a little, you will naturally know." The prime minister can rest assured, I, as a person, generally do not have the idea of beating the water dog. You are stationed outside the camp with your army, and for the time being, I will not attack you. But as soon as you retreat, I'll send troops. ”

Brush!

Cao's '''s face became extremely pale.

In his heart, he believed Liu Xiu's statement, and this battle must have been lost.

But Cao '' couldn't accept it.

In this battle, he can be said to have tried his best, but he lost.

Cao '' and stood up, flicked his sleeves, and then went to the military formation.

Liu Xiu also stood up and returned to the camp with Deng Zhan and Shamoke. As soon as they arrived at the camp, Pang Tong, Xu Shu and Jia Xu greeted them, and the three of them had smiles on their faces, and Jia Xu said, "Lord, have you won this battle?"

Liu Xiu said: "Solo Fei and Wenpin have won their respective battlefields. Now, it's all that remains in the direction of the Yellow Tiger. ”

Jia Xu stroked his beard under his chin and said, "Cao 'Cao' poured out his army to attack, and the camp was empty. At this time, Huzi led the army to attack, which was easy to win by probing for things. The overall situation has been decided, and the Guanzhong region is all in the hands of the lord. ”

Liu Xiu's eyes also had a bright smile.

If Guanzhong is captured, then his power will have an essential leap.

The people returned to the camp and waited quietly.

In fact, Liu Xiu could send troops to fight Cao Cao' now, just to delay time and wait for news from Huang Hu, so he didn't start a war for the time being.

However, if Cao 'Cao' wants to withdraw his army, then Liu Xiu must cover up and kill, and Cao 'Cao' cannot be allowed to withdraw.

Cao 'Cao' returned to the military formation, summoned Xun You and Liu Ye, and told the two of them the news just now.

When the two of them heard this, their faces were full of surprise.

Xun You said: "It's impossible, this battle, the prime minister is perfectly arranged, how can it fail? And Liu Xiu's answer is too exaggerated, saying that Wen hired no soldier to lose, and killed most of the troops under Yu Ban's command." There are 10,000 troops under Yu Ban's command, and most of the troops are at least more than 5,000 people. In such a situation, is it possible not to lose a single soldier?"

Liu Ye nodded and said, "I also feel weird and a little incredible."

Cao 'Cao' said: "When the original minister lost to Liu Xiu in Nanyang County, wasn't it also that the other party lost very little, and we lost countless losses? But it must be verified. ”

"Xu Chu!"

Cao '' and ordered directly.

"The last general!"

Xu Chu stood up and saluted with his fists.

Cao 'Cao' instructed: "Send two tiger and leopard riders to immediately go to the forbidden ambush site to find out the news." ”

"No!"

Xu Chu got the order, turned around and retreated.

Liu Ye said: "Prime Minister, what should we do now?"

Cao ''

His eyes narrowed, and he said, "Now we don't do anything, just wait here for news." Liu Xiu's news is shocking, but it is hard to guarantee that he did not deliberately intimidate us into withdrawing. The plan has come to this point, and it is impossible to retreat now. Giving up halfway through, absolutely not. So this battle, we have to continue. ”

"Yes!"

Liu Ye nodded, but there was a trace of worry in his eyes.

Now that Liu Xiudu has already said it, then the ambush of Meridian Dao and Yu Ban is probably really dangerous.

The two armies were still facing each other, Cao Cao's army was arrayed outside the city, and Liu Xiu's soldiers were also arrayed in the camp, ready to fight at any time.

Minutes and seconds passed.

"Da!

Suddenly, a rapid sound of horses' hooves galloped from the official road in the distance.

On the official road, I saw two tiger and leopard knights rushing back.

The two went to see the news of the ambush and quickly returned to deliver the news.

After a short time, the tiger and leopard rode to Cao's side.

Cao 'Cao' hurriedly asked, "How is the situation with Yu Ban?"

One of the tiger and leopard knights replied, "Prime Minister, defeated, really defeated." Yu Ban and the captured soldiers have all been detained by the army of Wen Ping. And from a distance, Yu Ban and the soldiers under his command were all in rags. ”

"Ahh

Cao '' exclaimed and said, "How is this possible?"

After a pause, Cao 'Cao' said again: "What's the local situation?"

The tiger and leopard knight said: "According to the villain's judgment, General Yu Ban was ambushed. ”

"Ambush?"

The corners of Cao's mouth twitched, and his face felt even more ridiculous.

The original intention of this battle was to let Yu Ban ambush the reinforcements sent by Liu Xiu to the Meridian Dao, but now, the Haw Par Knights said that Yu Ban was ambushed, which was extremely absurd.

The Haw Par Knight continued: "The terrain is extremely wide, but there is a bamboo forest on the official road leading to the Meridian Road. Today, this bamboo forest is already burning, and the fire is rushing into the sky. According to the judgment, General Yu Ban was probably hiding in the bamboo forest, and was finally attacked by Wen Ping with fire, and then the whole army was trapped. ”

"Alas......"

Xun You sighed lightly and said, "Prime Minister, it makes sense now." The Jingzhou army that went to the rescue must have been ambushed in the depths of the bamboo forest. As for Wen Ping sent by Liu Xiu, he must have expected Wen Ping to ambush inside, and then set fire to the bamboo forest. Because of this, it will cause Yu Ban to fall into the sea of fire and finally be captured. ”

Cao's '' is also a master of the art of war, and after listening to the words of the tiger and leopard riding, he will also deduce.

The bamboo forest is on fire!

Apparently, it was burned in a bamboo forest.

Cao 'Cao' clenched his fists and said, "In this way, in terms of the Meridian Dao, Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Ba are dead. Speaking of this, Cao 'Cao' clenched his fists, and his eyes were full of resentment.

Xiahou Yuan followed Cao's cavalry early on, especially since the Xiahou family and the Cao family were relatives. For Cao Cao, Xiahou Yuan is his brother.

After decades of fighting, Xiahou Yuan died in the Meridian Dao, and even Xiahou Ba died.

Having such a thing happened, Xiahou Yuan was extremely heartbroken.

Xun You said: "Prime Minister, the failure of the two battlefields means that we have lost the meaning of attacking Liu Xiu again. Retreat, it's useless to attack again. Even if Wen Ping leads the army back, we will still be attacked by Liu Xiu. ”

Cao 'Cao' nodded and said, "Withdraw!"

At the sound of an order, Cao's army began to turn around and retreat.

At the moment when Cao 'Cao' retreated, in Liu Xiu's camp, he suddenly remembered the sound of war drums that shook the sky.

The drums rumbled into the sky.

The army under Liu Xiu's command was quickly killed.

The person at the head is Shamoko.

At this moment, Shamoke's face was full of fighting spirit and killing intent. He carried the thistle terrestris bone and shouted: "The Cao thief is ahead, sons, rush with me and capture the Cao thief alive." ”

"Da!

The sound of horses' hooves resounded, and Shamoko took the lead, leading the army to kill first. More than 20,000 soldiers poured out, and under the leadership of Shamoke, they went straight to the tail of Cao's Cao's army, wanting to leave Cao's Cao' in Chang'an.
