Chapter 170: Touching the Bottom Line
Cao Cao was about to give an order, but when he heard the urgent report from the scout Yanzhou, his face was gloomy and he stopped talking.
Cao Cao has been worried about changes in Yanzhou, so he chose to withdraw from the army.
The scout galloped from a distance, and when he got close, he quickly turned over and got down without waiting for the horse to stop, clasped his fists with both hands, and said breathlessly: "Report to the lord, Zhang Miao and Chen Gong welcome Liu Bei as the mainstay, attack the city, and there are many responders in the rest of the counties, fortunately, Xun Yu and Cheng Yu are designed to defend to the death, so as not to lose everything, but there are only three places left: Juancheng, Fancheng, and Dong'e!" ”
"Buzz......!"
Because the scout's voice was very loud, the surrounding soldiers could hear it clearly, and they immediately scrambled to discuss, their faces were full of worry, and Xun You and the others on the side were also full of solemnity.
"Shhhh......h After hearing the report, Cao Cao suddenly felt a headache, gritted his teeth and held on, his mind turned sharply, and he suddenly shouted: "Be bold and meticulous, dare to pretend to be a scrub to disturb the hearts of our army, come to someone, drag this person down and behead the public, to set an example!" ”
The scout was bowing down to receive the order, and suddenly heard Cao Cao's order to kill him, he was shocked, and shouted in a lost voice: "The villain is assigned by Mr. Xun Yu, and it is definitely not a meticulous work, the lord spares his life, the lord spares his life!" ”
At this time, when the two soldiers heard Cao Cao's order, they quickly ran up, one left and one right, and held the scout back, regardless of his heart-rending pleading, and dragged him out directly.
When Xun You, Xi Zhicai and others on the side saw this, they were all expressionless and did not stop them.
After a few moments, two of his own soldiers returned to his life, one of them holding a bloody human head in both hands.
Cao Cao squinted at the head, and said in a cold tone: "Chuan Wu order, anyone who discusses this matter in private will be killed!" ”
"No!" The soldiers shouted and took the order.
"Lord...... Lord!" Xun You stepped forward and just wanted to persuade, but was stopped by Cao Cao waving his hand, and then said: "Gongda doesn't need to say much, I have my own plans in my heart, and I ordered the army to set off and return to Yanzhou!" ”
Seeing this, Xun Yu understood this, and did not say more, followed closely behind Cao Cao, and went to Yanzhou together, as for the matter of plundering the people, everyone tacitly did not mention it again.
For Liu Bei, Xun Yu suggested that Cao Cao kill him many times, but Cao Cao couldn't bear to do it because of his love for talent, even if Liu Bei led Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to escape before, Cao Cao didn't say anything, but this time Liu Bei united Chen Gong and others to attack Yanzhou, but Cao Cao moved to kill.
In Cao Cao's heart, Liu Bei can not follow himself, or he can be his enemy, but he must not move his own foundation, and Yanzhou is Cao Cao's foundation and Cao Cao's bottom line.
……
Koji sat in the big tent and didn't sleep all night.
Regarding Lu Bu's victory or defeat, Lu Yi didn't care much about it, but he was very concerned about Tai Shici and Xu Sheng, who went to the rescue.
Cao Cao made good use of his troops, and he was even better at using strategy, and if he was not careful, he might be ambushed, resulting in the loss of his troops.
Tai Shi Ci and Xu Sheng can be said to be the henchmen of Koji Yi, even if there is a slight mistake, it is unacceptable and unaffordable for Koji Yi at this time.
Cheng Gongying, who had been accompanying him below, saw the worry in Liyi's heart, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, general, Ziyi and Wen will definitely be fine if they go here, and maybe there will be unexpected joy!" ”
Lu Yi was puzzled when he heard this, and asked: "Cao Cao is curious, and his subordinates are even more resourceful, Ziyi and the others are going this time, if they can retreat with their whole body, they will be content, how can my brother talk about the joy of accidents?" ”
Cheng Gongying saw that Lu Yi did not understand, and explained: "Lu Bu boldly pursued, he will be robbed and killed by Cao Cao's ambush soldiers, and when Ziyi and Wen Xiang lead the troops to kill, Cao Jun will see that the fighter has been lost, and he will never fall in love with the war, and he will definitely withdraw his troops to preserve his strength."
Cao Jun retreated, and Lu Bu would not stay long in his heart, so the matter of cleaning up the battlefield would be handed over to Ziyi and the others! ”
Speaking of this, Cheng Gongying slowly stopped, and then looked at Ko Yi with a smile on his face.
At this time, Lu Yi also reacted, the smile on his face gradually brightened, and he continued: "Lu Bu and Cao Jun are fighting, the battle must be tragic, presumably the casualties are not small, Ziyi and the two clean up the battlefield, and they must have gained a lot!" ”
Cheng Gongying saw that Lu Yi reacted, nodded and replied: "Yes! ”
In ancient times, plundering and seizure were the two major ways to come to the rescue.
While the two were talking, they suddenly heard a chaotic sound outside the door, and before Liyi could ask, Tai Shici and Xu Sheng walked in with an excited face.
After the two of them finished saluting Lu Yi, Tai Shi Ci laughed loudly: "The general doesn't know, when Wen Xiang and I led the troops to kill, Lu Bu was being besieged by Cao Ren, Xiahou Dun and Yu Ban, and almost the whole army was wiped out!" ”
When Lu Yi heard that Cao Cao actually left Cao Ren, Xiahou and Yu were forbidden, his heart sank, and he secretly called for luck.
These three people can take out any one of them to stand alone, let alone join forces.
It seems that Cao Cao should have expected that there would be pursuers, so he arranged it like this.
Koji Yi thought about it and smiled: "The two generals are hard, I don't know if our army has suffered heavy casualties?" ”
Xu Sheng hugged his fists and replied: "General, when the Cao army saw that our army came to help, he did not entangle and immediately withdrew his troops, so the casualties of our army can not be remembered, not only that, I and General Ziyi cleaned up the battlefield, and the guns, shields, armor, banners, war drums and the like were quite abundant!" ”
After hearing this, Lu Yi turned his head to look at Cheng Gongying, who was smiling, and praised: "The military advisor is really a god!" ”
Cheng Gongying heard Kojiyi's praise and smiled silently.
Lu Yi asked Tai Shici, "How about Lu Bu's casualties?" ”
Tai Shi Ci thought for a while, and then replied: "According to the perspective of cleaning the battlefield, Lu Bu killed no less than a thousand people in this battle, and there were even more wounded, but all the generals under him were fine!" ”
Lu Bu's subordinates are only a few thousand, and thousands of people have died in this battle, and the injuries are not counted, but they are also broken.
After hearing this, Lu Yi got up, took the saber and tied it around his waist, and then said: "Lu Bu will go back, I should invite Kong Beihai to visit him!" After saying that, he laughed and walked out of the tent.
Hearing Lu Yi's words, Cheng Gongying and Tai Shici Xu Sheng both smiled heartily, and then walked out together.
Lu Bu camp.
Lu Bu had already led his troops back, and he was sitting in the tent with a gloomy face.
A group of athletes below stood on the left and right, including Zhang Liao, and everyone was silent, only quietly looking at Lu Bu who was sitting on the main seat.
After a while, Lu Bu slapped the table in front of him and scolded angrily: "From today on, I and Cao Thief are inseparable!" ”
Zhang Liao frowned slightly after hearing this, and quietly glanced sideways at Gao Shun who was standing next to him, but saw that Gao Shun was looking ahead without squinting, his expression was calm and unwavering.
Zhang Liao respects Gao Shun very much in his heart, but sometimes he is also very helpless about Gao Shun's temper, especially Gao Shun's attitude towards Lu Bu, not only is he loyal, but even a little blind.
Zhang Liao quietly thought about it in his heart, and then said: "Qi Wenhou, the matter of Cao Thief can be talked about later, in today's battle, our army has suffered a lot of casualties, and the matter of plotting Koji righteousness may have an impact!" ”
As soon as Zhang Liao's voice fell, he suddenly heard shouting outside the tent: "General Liyi, Kong Beihai has arrived!" ”
