Chen Qun stepped forward, his face hesitated, but he still said: "Your Majesty, our army was attacked and ambushed by the Han army and suffered heavy losses, and now we have to defend the camp. ”

Hearing this, Cao Pi's face instantly turned as white as paper. He lay on the bed, his body trembling involuntarily, his eyes bloodshot.

"What? The Wei army was ambushed? Heavy losses? Cao Pi's voice was sharp and trembling, as if squeezed out of his teeth.

Chen Qun lowered his head, not daring to look directly into Cao Pi's eyes. He slurred, "Yes... Yes, Your Majesty. The Han army took advantage of the night to raid, and our army was caught off guard and suffered heavy losses. ”

When Cao Pi heard this, he was furious, and he sat up suddenly, his hands clenched into fists, and his nails pierced deep into his palms. His eyes widened even more, as if he were about to breathe fire.

"Those damn Han soldiers dare to be so arrogant! How dare they dare to sneak attack? Hasn't Gonghei Liu already returned to Chang'an? Where did they get their troops? Cao Pi gritted his teeth and said, every word revealing endless anger.

At this moment, another general hurriedly came and reported with a panicked expression: "Your Majesty, it's not good! The cavalry of the Han army that burned Hebei City retreated! ”

This news hit Cao Pi's heart like a thunderbolt from the blue.

He only felt a surge of qi and blood, and a mouthful of blood suddenly spurted out of his mouth, staining the dragon case in front of him red.

"Poof!" Cao Pi's body was shaky, but he endured the pain and clung to the armrest of the bed.

Seeing this, the surrounding generals and attendants stepped forward one after another to plead guilty.

"Your Majesty, cherish the dragon body!"

"Our incompetence makes Your Majesty Long Yan furious!"

"Your Majesty, don't be angry."

But Cao Pi waved his hand to push away Li Guiren, who came to help, and said in a hoarse voice: "I'm fine!" You're all stepping down! ”

With a sigh of relief, Cao Pi looked at Sima Yi and Chen Qun, Xiahou Shang and a few other people, and said, "Shizhong, Si Li's lieutenant, Shang Shuling, and supervising the army. Stay, the rest of the people wait, out of the account and obey orders! ”

"No!"

The rest of the people knew that Cao Pi was going to discuss the military aircraft, and they came out one after another.

After the idle people are gone.

Cao Pi strengthened his spirits, and his eyes swept firmly over Sima Yi, Chen Qun, Jia Xu, Xiahou Shang and others.

Although his face was still a little pale, his spirit looked good.

"Ladies and gentlemen," Cao Pi said slowly, with a hint of hoarseness in his voice, "the situation is unfavorable now, and our army has suffered setbacks one after another. Guanzhong is still not attacked? Where should the Wei army go from here? I would like to hear from you. ”

Sima Yi stood up first, his expression was calm, and his eyes were deep: "Your Majesty, judging from the current situation, our army's morale is low, and there is not enough food and grass, so it is not appropriate to forcibly attack Guanzhong again." The minister suggested temporarily withdrawing to Hongnong, holding on to help, and at the same time mobilizing grain and grass for emergencies. ”

Chen Qun also nodded and agreed: "What Sima Zhongda said is extremely true. What our army needs now is to recuperate, not to attack blindly. Withdraw to Hongnong, you can rely on the strong city to hold on, wait for the opportunity and then try to forge ahead. ”

Hearing the answers of the two, Cao Pi frowned, and was slightly dissatisfied in his heart.

Jia Xu frowned slightly, pondered for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, the minister believes that although our army has suffered setbacks, it has not hurt the roots. Guanzhong is the foundation of my Great Wei, and we must not give up easily. And the general of the army was so involved in the Han army in Guanxi, and the minister suggested that the people should be forcibly requisitioned to relieve the urgent need, and at the same time reorganize the army and horses, and then fight in Guanzhong. ”

Not enough food and grass?

You can collect food nearby.

Hedong County is a large county, and Hongnong is also a large county, if the grain and grass are forcibly requisitioned, it is not impossible to levy the grain and grass for the army to supply the surplus of grain and grass.

Of course

If this is done, the people of Hedong and Hongnong may have to rebel, and several scholars in Hedong and Hongnong will presumably also have opinions.

The so-called people.

It's more of the grain and grass in the Shizu Dock Fort.

Levy food?

That seems like the way to go.

Cao Pi's eyes lit up, but after a moment, he hesitated again.

If grain and grass are forcibly requisitioned, it will be a quick battle.

In a month, or even less, will he be able to defeat Liu Gonghei and take back Guanzhong?

And once this effect cannot be achieved, or even defeated again, it is not a problem that Guanzhong cannot be saved, it may be that even Hedong and Hongnong will not be protected.

Once Hongnong is not guaranteed, then Luoyang is like a beautiful woman without clothes, isn't it possible for the Han army to besiege Luoyang every time it sends troops over?

The dignified Wei State, every year there is a battle to defend Luoyang?

Isn't this ridiculous and generous?

Cao Pi hesitated.

At this time.

Xiahou Shang, who was from the Cao Wei clan, also stood up, with a hint of stubbornness and unwillingness on his face: "Your Majesty, the minister agrees with Jia Gong's opinion. How can the officers and men of our army be brave and good at fighting, and how can they retreat because of a momentary defeat? The minister is willing to lead the troops to fight again in the pass and swear to regain the lost territory! ”

It was too much of a loss tonight.

When he arrived in Guanzhong and Tongguan, he had been living too poorly since the war with the Han army.

Defeat, defeat!

Inexplicable defeat.

When did he Xiahou Shang ever be so cowardly?

"If we withdraw our troops, wouldn't we give Guanzhong to the Han Kingdom, or even Liangzhou and the Western Regions to the Han Kingdom? With the ability of the Han State Business Alliance, how will my Great Wei compete with it at that time? ”

Cao Pi frowned.

Oh, yes!

Now that he has withdrawn, the strength of the Han State will continue to strengthen, and after that, will he have the ability to defeat the Han State?

And the slogan of the Han State 'reviving the Han Dynasty' is too loud, he occupies Guanzhong, and it is impossible to stop.

Next up is Luoyang.

And then there's the whole world.

Now desperately, there is still an advantage.

In the future, perhaps Wei's national strength will be at a disadvantage.

Sima Yi saw Cao Pi's struggle, and immediately said: "Perhaps, our army can leave 20,000 elites here, 10,000 elites occupy Pubanjin, and make a posture of attacking Guanzhong at any time, attract the Han State to defend, reduce the pressure on the general of the army on the western front, and the rest of the people withdraw to Hongnong, and wait for the grain and grass to be delivered in the rear, and then attack again." ”

Sima Yi's method, without a doubt, is a compromise method.

But with only tens of thousands of people left, how many Han troops can really be involved?

Treat the symptoms but not the root cause!

Moreover, the number of Wei troops has decreased, and they are stationed separately, if the Han army comes to attack and attack it separately, then what will happen?

There are not many elites in the Wei State, and they really can't withstand such consumption.

"Newspaper~"

When Cao Pi was struggling with how to choose, the voice of the herald came from outside the camp.

"Your Majesty, the Han army attacked Pubanjin by surprise, the state soldiers were scattered, the dead and wounded were not counted, and the Han army had occupied Pubanjin and captured Puban City."

"What?"

Pubanjin is just a ferry port, that is, a camp is built, and the defense power is limited.

However, after occupying Pusaka Castle and guarding the Austrian reinforcements with Pubanjin, it will be even more difficult to attack again.

Grunt~

Cao Pi secretly swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and by now, he had forgotten to be angry.

By now, he's figured it out.

That Liu Gonghei definitely did not return to Chang'an, and he definitely did not withdraw the elite of Tongguan to Chang'an.

opposite

It may even be possible to transfer troops from Chang'an to support.

In this way, Liu Xuande's death may also be fake news.

Wei was deceived, and he was deceived so badly.

Abominable Liu Chan.

Playing with my woman, occupying my country's land, and repeatedly playing tricks on me!

Yes!

Why does the sky treat me like this, Cao Zihuan?

Thinking of this, Cao Pi felt that there was an itchy feeling in his throat.

Burst~

A mouthful of old blood spurted out on the face that was suffocated like pig's liver.

And an instant later, two mouthfuls of blood gushed out from Cao Pi's throat.

"Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty!"

Sima Yi and the others panicked and hurriedly stepped forward.

Li Guiren was even more frightened on the side.

In front of him, Zhuge Kongming had three qi Zhou Yu, and Zhou Gongjin was angry to death.

Could it be that today, Emperor Liu Gonghei of the Great Wei Emperor made Cao Zihuan angry to death?
