Han Shimou

At the same time, Zhuge Ke turned his back on his master and surrendered to Xitang.Zhao Yun had more than [-] soldiers in Jiaozhou, and his strength increased greatly, so he quickly divided his troops to take Jiaozhou, Wunan and other counties.The momentum of the Western Tang Dynasty, within a few months, can be said to be overwhelming and out of control.If Zhao Yun really takes down Jiaozhou and Wunan in the end, it will be so powerful that it will be close to "Wei", the largest country in the world today.Immediately the situation where the two heroes compete for hegemony and are evenly matched is a foregone conclusion, and it is inevitable.

Let's talk about the battle of Wu County.Lu Suxian used the strategy of drawing salary from the bottom of the pot, and Zhu Ran, a surprise soldier, successfully attacked the Wei army's Dazhai and burned more than half of the luggage.The Wei army was defeated and lost troops. Fortunately, Dian Wei, Xu Chu, Cao Zhang, Hao Zhao, Sima Shi and other fierce generals fought to the death, as well as Cao Cao and Jia Xu made decisive decisions and made timely adjustments to stabilize the chaos.It was able to preserve more than half of its troops.Even so, the Wei army did not have a lot of supplies, and it was difficult to continue for a long time. Moreover, the morale of the soldiers in the army was low.Soochow successfully counterattacked and gained the upper hand.But Cao Cao is worthy of being the hero of the world and the overlord of the world. Now he has a plan to teach Cao Zhen to make peace.Sun Quan thought that Cao Cao was timid and had secret plots, so he agreed to make peace and taught Cao Cao to withdraw his troops as soon as possible.Cao Cao was overjoyed to hear Sun Quan's agreement, so he ordered Jia Xu to lead his troops into one army and prepare to retreat.

Let's see how the battle of Wu County will be won or lost.The two Wei armies merged into one place, and that night Cao Cao ordered Jia Xu to lead the supplies first, secretly mixed in the wounded soldiers, and withdrew in batches together.Jia Xu took the order, but before leaving, he talked to Cao Cao.

"Your Majesty wants to fight Sun Zhongmou to a decisive battle?"

When Cao Cao heard this, the fine eyes that could swallow the sky suddenly shot two rays of light, and Fuxu laughed.

"Haha!! I knew I couldn't hide it from you, Jia Wenhe!! According to the Taifu, what chances do I have of winning this time?"

Jia Xu's face darkened when he heard this, his snake-like eyes sparkled, he bowed respectfully, and replied in a concentrated voice.

"Forgive me to speak bluntly, Wu people's morale is at its peak, and all our soldiers have the heart to go back. Moreover, with the loss of soldiers and generals in the past, the spirit has been weakened. Your Majesty's move may be hitting a stone with an egg."

"Haha. In the Hebei war in the past, everyone in the world thought that I would be defeated by Yuan Benchu, but what happened afterwards?"

Cao Cao smiled again, narrowed his eyes, and Wang Wei burst out.When Jia Xu heard the words, his heart surged secretly, but he admired Cao Cao very much, and said in a deep voice.

"It's good for Your Majesty to have such determination. However, in this battle, there are more defeats and fewer victories, less than a three-point chance of winning. Your Majesty is the master of the world, so there must be no mistakes. There are also two princes, and they must not be in danger. Middle. His Majesty thought of a way out early in the morning, and left the matter of marching troops to fight in the hands of the lieutenant soldiers!"

When Cao Cao heard this, he shook his head and spoke harshly.

"The Taifu's words are wrong! The reason why the soldiers of the army dare to risk their lives and go to battle is to gain fame and return home. No one is willing to die in vain. I am the king of a country. If you are in the army, all the troops Everyone thinks that this battle will be won, and they will fight bravely. If I were timid, I would have withdrawn long ago. The morale of the army must have been exhausted, but seeing that the battle situation is not good, they must each have their own selfish thoughts, save themselves, and flee one after another. Come on, this battle will definitely be defeated!! I started to attack Wu Daye, wasting national strength, and countless soldiers were killed and injured. If they retreated and returned, all previous efforts would be wasted, and the Great Wei will be completely defeated. How can we resist the flourishing Western Tang Dynasty like this? !?"

Jia Xu's expression changed when he heard this, and he replied.

"Your Majesty has a far-sighted vision, and the minister is not as good as it!! The minister is willing to live and die with His Majesty!!"

When Cao Cao heard this, he smiled lightly and said slowly to Jia Xu.

"Right now, I want to fight Sun Zhongmou with my back, so there is no need for strategies. Wenhe has no strength to restrain a chicken, and it is useless to stay here. You take my order and send all the wounded soldiers and luggage back to the beginning Believe me, let's make sure to retreat first!"

When Jia Xu heard the words, her heart twitched. Even though Cao Cao said so, but looking at his fine eyes that were shining brightly, she had no intention of retreating at all.I'm afraid Cao Cao has long made up his mind to fight Sun Quan to the end!

Jia Xu hesitated to speak, but in the end he didn't try to persuade him anymore, because he knew that once Cao Cao made up his mind, the world would be so big that no one would be able to dissuade him.However, it is precisely because Cao Cao is so ambitious and courageous that he dares to put his soldiers in danger and fight desperately at critical moments, so Cao Cao can achieve his current situation.

Therefore, Jia Xu followed the order.The next day, Sun Quan heard that the scouts had come to report that last night the Wei army had repeatedly divided up and left with luggage.Sun Quan thought that Cao Cao was bound to withdraw his troops, so he was overjoyed, so he ordered all the troops to get ready and ready to go, but when the time came, he obeyed the order and went out to fight Wei Kou to the death!Lu Meng, Zhu Ran and other generals agreed generously one after another, gearing up, full of fighting spirit, waiting to fight.

On the other side, in Wei Jun Dazhai.Cao Cao summoned a group of soldiers to the tent. Except for Dian Wei who was seriously injured and was sent back to Shixin by Cao Cao's strict order, the rest of the soldiers came to the table one by one.I saw in the tent, on the left were Cao Pi, Cao Zhang, Cao Zhen and other generals, and on the right were Xu Chu, Hao Zhao, Sima Shi, Chen Tai and other generals.In addition, Chen Tai came to report day and night according to the order of Zhang Jaw, but he was still a step late.Cao Cao did not get angry, but appreciated Chen Tai's bravery and left him to obey his orders.Now, Cao Cao's complexion sank, and he suddenly asked the generals.

"Are you waiting to die!?"

As soon as Cao Cao said this, all the generals got up one after another, and hurriedly answered in unison.

"I would like to do my best for His Majesty, and do my best!!"

"Haha. Although you say so, but your heart is different. Some people are loyal and dare to sacrifice. Some people are willing to risk their lives for fame. But if you say that you are not afraid of death, I don't believe it."

Cao Cao let out a long laugh, and all the generals turned pale when they heard this, and wanted to speak one after another.However, Cao Cao rushed to speak first.

"Everyone, stay safe and don't be impatient. I have no doubts about your utter loyalty to me. I'm just judging from facts. As far as this is concerned, I'm more dead than you."

All the generals listened attentively when they heard that there was something in Cao Cao's words.Cao Cao looked around at everyone, and then said in a deep voice.

"However, although I am all dead, I know that I shoulder the heavy responsibility of the world. It has been decades since the troubled times. The people of China have suffered from the flames of war for a long time, and they all hope that the country will be unified as soon as possible and usher in a peaceful and prosperous age. Received Zen from Xiandi Liu Xie, became a great treasure, and created the Great Wei. Now the Shu Han has been destroyed by the Western Tang Dynasty, and its national power has greatly increased. Crusade against Soochow. If the success falls short, there will be Western Tang in the north and Soochow in the south. The Great Wei will be at war until now. My people will all be in the midst of fire. Every time I think of this, I feel heartbroken. I would rather die than suffer this. disaster!!

Therefore, I hope that I will fight to the death, live and die with the Qing family, and fight to the death with the Wu thief to the end, success or failure, all follow the destiny.I at least have a clear conscience! !You are willing to accompany me! ? "

As soon as Cao Cao's words came out, the generals were shocked and moved even more.Xu Chu gritted his teeth, stared strangely, and shouted anxiously.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, the final general Ning will be buried here, and he will fight with the Wu thief to die together!! Fighting in front of the battle, your Majesty does not need to worry too much, and withdraw first, and wait for me to wait for the good news!!"

As soon as Xu Chu finished speaking, Cao Pi also said anxiously.

"What Huhou said is very true. Father is the ruler of the world, how can he be in danger!! My child is willing to go to supervise the battle!!"

"My child is also willing to go with the emperor!!"

With golden eyes shining, Cao Zhang shouted generously.Hao Zhao, Sima Shi, Cao Zhen and other generals came to persuade him one after another, and they all intentionally begged Cao Cao to retreat to the back line and wait for the good news.Suddenly, Cao Cao's momentum burst out, and the majesty of the emperor surged like a raging wave, and he shouted sharply.

"As you said, I am the king of a country. This is the autumn of the country's life and death. If I don't go, who will go!? Needless to say, I will lead the army and fight the Wu thief !!"

Cao Cao's voice was like thunder, and his majesty and majesty made the generals tremble with fear.Seeing that his father had made up his mind, Cao Pi's heart tightened, and he bowed his hands.

"Although the father has the heart to fight the Wu thief decisively, he is afraid that the Wu thief will not come out easily."

Cao Cao smiled brightly when he heard the words, and said slowly.

"There is no need for Zihuan to worry too much about this matter. I deliberately made peace with Sun Zhongmou earlier, which was to show my weakness and taught Sun Zhongmou to think that I was timid and wanted to withdraw the army. Now that Sun Zhongmou has agreed to make peace, he must be preparing his troops secretly. Ma, just wait for the time when I withdraw my troops, and make a big attack!!"

When Cao Pi heard the words, he suddenly came to his senses, his eyes widened, and only now did he realize that Cao Cao had already planned.When Xu Chu heard this, his fighting spirit broke out in an instant, and he shouted loudly.

"Wow!! These Wu thieves really dare to come, I will definitely kill them this time, and I will be ashamed!!"

Xu Chu finished speaking.Hao Zhao's expression darkened, and he remonstrated with concern.

"However, the Wu bandits are victorious now. Our army lost a lot in the previous battle, and their morale is low. I'm afraid they are not the enemies of the Wu bandits."

"Hmph, Hao Bodao, what you said is simply to spoil your own prestige by aggravating others' ambition!! The so-called soldiers will block you, and water will cover you!! As many Wu thieves come, I, Xu Zhongkang, will kill as many as they come!!"

Xu Chu snorted coldly, his strange eyes widened, and he shouted sharply.Hao Zhao was scolded by Xu Chu like this, but he didn't back down, and spoke out loudly.

"Huhou's words are wrong. This battle is of great importance, and we can only win but not lose. Otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable. Huhou only relies on blood and courage, but I am afraid that he will miss the important event!!"

"you!!"

When Xu Chu heard this, his face was filled with anger.It can be seen that Xu Chu is Cao Cao's favorite general, and he has a very high reputation in the army.Except for Cao Cao, all the civil and military members of the Great Wei gave him three points.Although Hao Zhao has been very active in recent years, he is incomparable to Xu Chu in terms of status, qualifications, and prestige. Now Hao Zhao dares to offend Xu Chu and refute Xu Chu's face. How can Xu Chu not be angry!

"Zhongkang, don't be impatient. I heard what Bodao said, and it makes sense."

When Xu Chu heard this, his face twitched, and he suppressed his anger.Hao Zhao looked overjoyed, so he spoke harshly.

"Your Majesty is aware of the details, and this matter should be considered in the long run!"

Before Hao Zhao finished speaking, Cao Cao suddenly changed the subject and interrupted.

"However! The current situation is irreversible. I have taught the Taifu to withdraw the luggage to Shixin. The food in the army can only last for five days! And Sun Zhongmou and a group of Wu soldiers hate me deeply, and they are waiting for me to order the withdrawal. What's more, Lu Boyan and Zhuge Kongming are leading the army to attack Dongfu, Zhang Junyi and Sima Zhongda have more than enough rules, but not enough to break them. Even if I can escape back to Shixin, once the soldiers in Dongfu know The defeat of Wu County will inevitably lead to loss of space and chaos. Immediately, the situation will be even more precarious! If it is so, thinking about the future will only delay the battle. Let's fight the Wu people!!"

Hearing this, Hao Zhao's body trembled, and his thoughts turned.Cao Zhang, who had been silent all this time, seemed to understand the truth, and agreed.

"Father has already made up his mind, and the child is willing to die to follow!!"

"I will wait for my death to follow!!"

As soon as Cao Zhang finished speaking, Xu Chu, Cao Pi, Sima Shi, Cao Zhen, Chen Tai and others all followed suit.Hao Zhao's expression tightened, but he was not a rat who is afraid of fighting to the death, so he agreed with him generously.Cao Cao was overjoyed and laughed out loud.

"Hahaha!! Good!! All of you have made up your mind to pass on my orders and teach all the troops to make preparations. From now on, they will gradually withdraw their troops. Three days later, they will be ready to fight Wu Thief to the end!!"

All the generals took orders one after another, so they retreated and informed their subordinates about their deployment.Therefore, Cao Cao pulled out his stronghold that night and withdrew seven or eight miles away.The next day, Wu Jun's scouts found it and came to report to Sun Quan.Sun Quan heard that Cao Cao's army had moved, so he wanted to raise his army to fight.
