Peek at my diary, Cao Cao dominates the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 288
The Battle of Pengcheng was a great victory.

Chen Deng's [-] defenders and Lu Yan's [-] soldiers not only defeated Yuan Shu's [-]-odd army and killed more than [-] people, but also beheaded the other four leading generals Zhang Xun, Le Jiu, Li Feng, and Chen Ji!
Coupled with Ji Ling who was defeated at the beginning, Yuan Shu's five-way army fell apart in just one month!
Four generals died, plus Ji Ling who disappeared,

After the news got back to Shouchun Yuan Shu, Yuan Shu spat out a mouthful of old blood on the spot.

Five of the seven armies attacking Xuzhou have been wiped out, leaving only Qiaorui and Lei Bo stuck on the main road between Xiaopei and Xiapi.

Originally, after Ji Ling defeated Xiahou Dun, the situation in Xuzhou has been very good.

As long as Pengcheng is captured, the Fourth Route Army will be able to take Xiapi directly after converging with Qiao Rui, and then capture Tanxian County and Guangling, and the entire Xuzhou will fall into Yuan Shu's hands.

But one Lu Yan.
All because of one Lu Yan!
"Lu Yan! I will kill you!!!" Yuan Shu was roaring impotently in his palace at the moment, all the civil and military officials in the hall were silent, watching their mouths, noses, noses, noses and hearts, waiting for Yuan Shu to calm down after venting himself .

After waiting for less than half an hour, Yuan Shu finally vented his anger and calmed down. Finally, a counselor dared to stand up and persuade him:

"Your Majesty, half of the attacking Xuzhou army has been lost.

After Sun Ce seized all six counties and 81 states, he also stared at us. According to Yichen, it's better to withdraw! "

This man was named Yan Xiang. When Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor, he quoted the story of King Wen of Zhou who proclaimed himself a minister to Yin even though he owned two-thirds of the world to persuade him, but it was not adopted.

Yuan Shu was displeased, and he was not given a high official and generous salary after becoming emperor, but Yan Xiang was still loyal and offered advice to Yuan Shu.

It's just that the honest words are harsh, and Yuan Shu doesn't want to talk to him.

"Your Majesty, Sun Ce has defeated Liu Yao and seized Jiangdong." At this time, Han Yin also stood up and reported.

Speaking of Sun Ce, he was Yuan Shu's favorite young general.

But now he not only turned against him, but also took Yangzhou, which he coveted for a long time.
After thinking about it, Yuan Shu spat out a mouthful of blood again with a "poof", and finally passed out.

"Come and save me, imperial doctor, imperial doctor!!"

"Help me!"

"Hurry up and declare the imperial doctor!"

There was a panic in the hall, and all kinds of yells were heard endlessly!
Several imperial doctors were sweating profusely to diagnose and treat Yuan Shu. After finally stabilizing Yuan Shu's condition, Yuan Shu woke up slowly.

Xiaopei Pengcheng has now fallen into the hands of Cao Jun, and Guangling County is still in Liu Bei's hands. It is actually meaningless to seize Xiapi again.

Instead of spending time and effort to capture Xiapi City, it is better to withdraw the army and guard Shouchun to prevent Cao Cao and Liu Bei from jointly attacking.

Thinking of this, Yuan Shu sighed deeply and said, "Declaration of my order, Mingqiao Rui Lei Bo quickly withdraw troops to guard Shouchun!"

"Here!" A messenger outside the door quickly left.

Yuan Shu looked at the distance in a daze, and after a while, he asked, "Can we still find reinforcements now?"

Following Yuan Shu's words, the hall once again fell into a silence that could hear the sound of falling needles.

Even Yuan Shao has angrily denounced Yuan Shu's wolfish ambitions. In the current situation, who the hell dares to form an alliance with us! ?
Seeing no one answered, Yuan Shu waved his hands and said, "Forget it, retreat!"

Shouchun Yuan Shu, hit by a series of failures,

Similarly, Qiao Rui, who was forced to go down to Picheng, was shocked and worried after receiving the news of the defeat of the Five Route Army.

At this moment, in the big tent of the Chinese army, there was also a dead silence.

"Tell me, what should we do next?" Qiao Rui asked.

At this time, one of the participants walked out, cupped his hands and replied:

"I report to the general, from the perspective of the subordinates, even if we take down Xiapi, Xiapi will eventually become an enclave.

Under the watchful eyes of Cao Cao and Liu Bei's two armies, we can't hold Xiapi at all."

"So? What are your thoughts?" Qiao Rui continued to ask.

Can Jun gritted his teeth and said, "Withdraw!"

Qiao Rui suddenly changed his face, and shouted angrily: "Come here, this person dares to disturb our army's morale, drag him out, and kill him!"

"General! What the villain says is from the bottom of his heart! General, spare your life!"

Just when the personal guards were about to drag the army out and kill them on the spot, suddenly a messenger broke in, saying that Shouchun had sent the oracle.

Qiao Rui suddenly shouted, "Stop!"

Only then did the guards put down the unlucky joiner and let him lie limp and half lying on the ground.

Qiao Rui glanced at joining the army, and then opened the envelope, on which it was written: "Quickly withdraw the troops and guard Shouchun."

"Huh..." To be honest, Qiao Rui was quietly relieved.

How could he not know that joining the army was the best solution?

It's just that without an order from above, withdrawing troops privately is a capital offense!
After Qiao Rui glanced at joining the army, he said calmly: "Your Majesty ordered us to withdraw the troops, everyone, hurry up and prepare!"

"Here!"

When everyone was about to leave, Qiao Rui suddenly called out to the soldier and said, "You are not bad, after you go back, go to the military supply office to get a hundred gold as a reward."

Joining the army did not expect that he would be rewarded for his narrow escape, so his legs were no longer weak, and his waist was no longer sore. He turned over and got up, bowed deeply to Qiao Rui and said, "Thank you, General, for your reward! "

Qiao Rui didn't speak to her, she waved her hand and turned around to look at the map.

After joining the army and leaving, Qiao Rui shook his head and said with a wry smile: "How powerful was the Seventh Route Army back then? Now, there are only me and Lei Bo left.

I don't know how long the lord can last, so let's do our best and obey the destiny! "

In Pengcheng, the prefect's mansion, a celebration banquet is being held enthusiastically.

In this battle, the two sides cooperated tacitly and defeated Yuan Shu's [-]-odd army with more than [-] morale, and also beheaded four generals under Yuan Shu's command. The victory was soul-stirring.

Everyone was so excited that their laughing eyes almost disappeared.

But there is one person who is an exception. He is sitting in the corner sullenly by himself at the moment, drinking bowl after bowl of dull wine by himself.

That's right, he is the Xia Houlan who watched the fat wandering around, but didn't even eat a bite in the end.
Wei Yan took Xia Houlan's head, and he still felt a little guilty in his heart.

But General Yuan just came straight to his hiding place, it would be a pity for God's gift not to cut him down!
Holding the wine bowl, Wei Yan came to Xia Houlan and said, "Ziheng, it's someone who took the credit from you, and I'm here to apologize to you!"

After finishing speaking, before Xia Houlan could reply, Wei Yan cleared the wine in one gulp.

Xia Houlan raised her head, glanced at Wei Yan, and said, "You think you're angry about this thing? You underestimate me, Xia Hou Ziheng!"

"Huh?" Lu Yan, who happened to come over, heard Xia Houlan's words, and immediately asked curiously: "Then why are you doing this?"

Seeing Lu Yan approaching, Xia Houlan quickly got up and said, "I still feel a little uncomfortable, but I'm really not that narrow."

Asking Wei Yan and Lu Yan not to talk, Xia Houlan said with some embarrassment: "Actually, what makes me feel uncomfortable is that my aptitude is not that good. Will I be able to stop at this level in my life?"

Was it for this?
Then Wei Yan couldn't help him, so he and Xia Houlan looked at Lu Yan together, as if waiting for the only innate master in the world to answer this doubt.

After thinking for a while, Lu Yan suddenly said, "No matter how brave a person is, he is only an enemy of a hundred or a thousand. Why don't you go after the basics and learn from the enemy of ten thousand?"

"Ah!?" Xia Houlan was so startled that she was about to jump up, and quickly waved her hands, "Sir, I really don't want to copy books!!!"

"Ziheng, I hope that you will become a handsome and talented person, not just a fierce general who charges into the battle, do you understand?"

Xia Houlan gradually put away her expression, and after a long while, she finally clasped her fists and said, "Lan understands, I will study hard on military art when I go back!"

"Well, let's go and have a good drink with everyone."

"Yes"
