"It's fine," Cao Cao said in a low voice, "I'm just suffering from a head wind." ”

"Do you want the doctor to take medicine?"

"Can't get in."

If it was in normal times, Cao Cao would drink the medicine, and these trivial things would not attract the attention of the soldiers.

But now it is different, these Yanzhou soldiers have been surrounded for a long time, and the army has lost several generals Cao Ren and Cao Chun one after another, and Huai'an, which was defended by Yu Banzhen, was also recaptured by Guan Yu, and there was gradually a trace of uneasiness in the camp.

Relying on their trust in the manager, this uneasiness was suppressed again, and for a time it turned into a very optimistic atmosphere.

But if the commander is ill at this time, the soldiers will quickly start to get restless again - maybe Cao Cao is suspicious, but as long as there is such a possibility, he will definitely not try.

Guo Jia's delicate brows tightened.

"In this way, it still can't provoke Lu Lian to fight."

"She's the boss," Cao Cao's voice seemed to be complaining, and it was like sighing, "What if you and I don't provoke you?" ”

"The lord should send troops."

Cao Cao and Guo Jia suddenly looked at Xun You.

This Xiuya scribe, who was as handsome as Xun Yu, but was a little more simple because of his age, smiled slightly.

"What do you think?"

"The lord provokes so frequently, Lu Lian will judge in his heart that the lord is more eager than her."

Although she didn't have any way to know about the Xiliang people's attack on Yanzhou, she might not be able to detect Cao Cao's attitude.

"The more anxious the lord, the more slow she is."

Cao Cao pressed his forehead hard, and there was a small cracking sound between his teeth.

“…… How could she hold back? ”

"Whether it is the war in Qingzhou or the situation in Xiapi City at this time, how can Lu Lian not take it to heart?" Guo Jia also suddenly said, "She is not such a hypocrite, and she will never be indifferent." ”

"Yes, since both the lord and Feng Xiao expected that she was also anxious, why don't we send troops to meet the battle first?" Xun You said, "When the time comes, the lord will try her movements and see what her mood is?" ”

The day after threatening to send the little dress, Cao Cao sped up a little, obviously stimulated.

Thus to the east of Malingshan, the two armies met.

The flags are waving, the golden drums are ringing in unison, and there are more soldiers and horses on the opposite side than here, but there are some county soldiers sent by Tancheng here, and there are nearly 10,000 people in the calculation, which does not look very empty.

There were more than 200 paces between the two armies, which was almost the standard "one stone's throw away".

From a distance, no one can see each other clearly, and they can only vaguely recognize the direction by virtue of the big curtain.

"Is the thief there?" She gestured to the other side, "But if I were—"

"What is it?" Tai Shi Ci was beside her and asked a little puzzled.

"Nothing." She hid the words behind her, and unnaturally touched the saber at her waist.

Cao Cao's military formation was not unusual at a glance, it was probably divided into six formations according to a group of 2,000 to 4,000 people, and the commander was naturally in the center, and there were cavalry on both wings.

And it looks a bit loose.

…… But how is this possible? This is Cao Cao.

In her vision, from the moment they entered the plain battlefield, the soldiers were still hundreds of steps away from the enemy, but they should have begun to gather closely, marching cautiously in a fighting posture, without disturbing the formation of the army at all.

Even though the soldiers she saw didn't match what she had imagined, she decided to be cautious.

…… If Cao Cao pretended to be like this and wanted to lure her to charge, even if she could come back unharmed, her strength would be far inferior to his, and she had never found out whether this was indeed the entire main force of the Yanzhou soldiers, which would easily be in danger.

…… What's more, there is another Yu Ban who doesn't know where to go! There are Cao and Xiahou in the banner on the opposite side, but there is no "Yu"!

Thinking about it again, she has now lost the black blade, and it is already difficult to take the lead again.

"Do you want me to give it a try?" Zhang Liao said, "I lead the cavalry, rush to the flank first, and try the virtual reality?" ”

"Wait patiently," she said, "and see if they will send troops first." ”

As she spoke, she suddenly took a soft breath.

Zhang Liao immediately noticed it.

"Ciyu, what's wrong?"

"It's okay, it's okay," she reached out and touched her lips, "a bubble." ”

The sun slowly rises from the east to the very center of the sky.

If it were summer, no soldier would have been able to stand the heat.

But now the cold wind of early winter was basking in the midday sun, and it felt very comfortable, so that after waiting for several hours, the soldiers could not avoid starting to whisper.

"Why haven't they come yet?"

"Are you scared?"

"Our general is very prestigious, maybe these Yanzhou people are afraid!"

"That's right, I want to pee......"

"How to find a solution here! Just pee on the ground! ”

"Then you let me, let me, I'm so ......"

"Phew! If the formation is broken, the team rate can tolerate me, and the military judge can't tolerate me! ”

The drums beat slower and slower, and the sound of the golden cymbals became quieter and quieter.

The soldier beating the drum broke his arm from exhaustion, and the cheeks of the soldier playing the golden cymbal were about to swell.

Cao Cao's army was still standing majestically under the banner.

…… I don't know what to stand on.

Finally, there was a wave of confusion in the military formation.

"General! Look! ”

She did not dare to be drowsy, she kept riding on her horse and looked in the direction of the enemy formation, but after watching for hours, even her eyes were glazed.

Listening to the voices of the people around her, she hurriedly rubbed the two sour eyes, rubbed them again, and finally saw the movement on the other side again.

The Yanzhou army seemed to be retreating, and the retreat was not very stable, and when the former army was reformed from the rear army, it seemed that because of improper command, it fell into a brief chaos.

This kind of confusion is not serious, but the soldiers listened to the order, but they did not know what was going on, and they doubted in their hearts, so they crowded and followed, for fear of being left behind, so the rhythm of the withdrawal was disrupted.

This is an army of more than 10,000 people, and it is normal for such chaos to occur.

…… But this is not the chaos that should be exposed in front of the enemy.

Because withdrawal is already dangerous, withdrawing in front of the enemy is even more dangerous, and if you are not careful, it will turn into a rout.

If she led her troops to rush forward now, if she rushed into the military formation that had become the rear army now, would she be able to easily defeat these thousands of soldiers and horses, and then spread the chaos of this military formation into the complete collapse of the Yanzhou army?

"General!" Some generals became excited, "They must be cowardly!" Let's catch up! Shall we catch up! ”

"General! Defeat them! Mi Fang, who was watching the battle, also became excited, "Please, defeat them quickly!" Save Picheng! ”

In Xiapi, which is only a hundred miles away from here, the flood is gradually receding, but the sorrow of the people will not be receded by the subsidence of the flood.

The walls were full of people, and the roofs were full of people.

But there are more, more people, who have no way to find a high ground, can only boil in the cold muddy water, and then slowly die.

The pigs and sheep, which could have been used as reserve food, were also quickly drowned, soaked in water, and gradually showed a stale color.

The Yanzhou people trapped outside the city could not see this, but they could report other news to Cao Cao.

The walls were full of people;

Later began to throw corpses outside the city;

At first, I threw a dozen, dozens of them, and then I threw hundreds of them every day;

There were old people and children, and there were some soldiers;

Someone himself jumped from the city walls.

Couldn't Lu Lian's scouts see and find out about such a thing?

The Yanzhou army was still slowly retreating, and the retreat was very chaotic.

Cao Cao's gaze was a little curious, looking at the unruly lineup on the opposite side.

So, now, how can Lu Lian endure it?

Chapter 284

As the sun set in the west, Cao Cao's soldiers had retreated, and her soldiers had retreated to the camp.

The soldiers busily began to make fires and meals, and discussed why they had not pursued them today.

But their arguments and speculations could not affect the manager.

Everyone who could affect her is gathered in the Zhongjun tent at this moment.

"Cao Cao's troops are not arranged," the first person opened his mouth, "General, it is better to attack the camp at night and annihilate it in one fell swoop!" ”

"The people of Yanzhou have been fighting and working hard for a long time, and now the morale of the army has been dispersed, and what I see today is proof!"

"Not bad! Checkmate! Don't miss it! ”

She glanced at the lieutenants, and then at the people closest to her.

Tai Shi Ci was silent, as if thinking about something.

Zhang Liao didn't say anything, looking at her.

Xu Shu looked at the people in the tent, "Cao thief repeatedly, he has been waiting for our army to attack first, and the general can't be fooled." ”

"If we take this step first, how can we get into it?" Mi Fang immediately retorted, "If you all work together, can't you still defeat Cao Thief!" ”

She was tempted to say - no.
