Han Shimou

As soon as Cao Cao finished speaking, Zhang Jai also came to persuade him.At this time, Yang Xiu knew that Cao Cao was going to shock him, so he pretended to cry and confessed his own crimes.Seeing that he was crying for real, Cao Cao thought that he would restrain himself in the future, so he only punished him heavily, demoted his military rank, and deprived him of three years of food and salary, as an example to others.Yang Xiu thanked him and retreated. Fortunately, he escaped to death. So far, he has cultivated his heart and mind, restrained his arrogance, and dared not indulge any more.

Yang Xiu retreated, Cao Cao sighed in the tent, and said to Guo Jia and Zhang Jai in awe.

"Although Yang Xiu is indulgent, he really said what I meant. Right now, the battle situation in the northwest is at a disadvantage. Our army has been fighting for nearly half a year. In addition to the time spent preparing for the battle, Wen Bufan was seriously injured. It has been a year. I heard that the healers for Wen Bufan are Hua Yuanhua and Zhang Zhongjing. These two people have extraordinary medical skills. It must be that Wen Bufan's injury has stabilized at this time and will heal soon. Immediately, the Northwest Army's morale was shaken, and the counterattack momentum, It will be as strong as a storm.

What's more, at the moment, Liu Xuande was able to defeat the Cai family in Jingzhou and resist Sun Lang in Jiangdong. The rapid rise of his power is really amazing! !It can be seen that Zhuge Kongming's wisdom is indeed as high as Jiang Ziya and Zhang Zifang.If you ignore it, there will be endless troubles.

Therefore, I intend to stop the battle in the northwest first, take advantage of the chaos in Jingzhou, and urgently eliminate Liu Xuande. After occupying Jingzhou, I will plan big things. I don't know what you think? "

Zhang Jai listened to Cao Cao's detailed analysis, and after contemplating for a while, he cupped his hands and reported.

"The prime minister sees through the situation, sees what is important, and does not become stronger because of a moment of anger, and respects him!!!"

Cao Cao nodded slightly when he heard Zhang Jaw agreeing, then looked at Guo Jia again.Guo Jia remained silent, and when Cao Cao turned his gaze, Guo Jia let out a long sigh.

"If you withdraw the troops just like this, you are really unwilling. But the prime minister's concern is indeed the most urgent thing at hand. Besides, Wen Ruo said earlier that due to the defeat in the Northwest War in recent years, Cao Cao was injured and comatose before, and there are many instability in the court. Factors, the prime minister needs to return to the court as soon as possible to stabilize the situation!!"

After Cao Cao heard this, his sky-swallowing eyes widened and he shouted sharply.

"This group of useless old thieves dare to take advantage of the situation to make trouble. When my class teacher returns to the court, I will teach them that life is better than death!!!"

Cao Cao was furious, and he tried to ask that he had exhausted his benevolence and righteousness to Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, and Cao Cao gave all the respect and prestige that the emperor should have.However, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty repeatedly planned to overthrow his regime in secret.As everyone knows, without him, Cao Cao, the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, would have been in charge of the Han Dynasty.This so-called Great Han Dynasty was overthrown by the princes of various places.Cao Cao fought everywhere, punished the rebellious ministers and rebels for the court, and regained the land of Han. His power was so strong that he could depose the emperor and ascend the throne of the emperor.

Although Cao Cao was accused by the people of the world as a hero in the world, who knew that Cao Cao was extremely loyal to the Han Dynasty in his bones.If Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty had the ability to stabilize the situation in the world, Cao Cao would not say anything else, and voluntarily returned the great weapon to Sheji.But the fact is that Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty was weak and incompetent, and his courtiers were all sanctimonious. If he was allowed to control the great treasures of the country, Cao Cao would have spent half his life's hard work, and within three years, he would be ruined! !

As time went by, Cao Cao's momentum became stronger and stronger. He captured Xuzhou, flattened Yuan Shu, and defeated Yuan Shao. The land was as wide as half the country. () Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty was extremely afraid of Cao Cao, and he was afraid that Cao Cao would kill him and seize the throne.As Cao Cao became more and more powerful, many of his advisers persuaded him to abolish the emperor and ascend the throne.Cao Cao was severely reprimanded at the beginning, but over time, seeing that Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty had no ambitions and no ability to lead the world, thinking that the people of the world would suffer from troubled times, he would eventually end up in the heat of war, survived for a long time, and gradually replaced him meaning.

Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty noticed that Cao Cao was gradually changing, and he was unwilling to sit still, so he secretly cooperated with some bureaucrats in the court.However, all officials in the imperial court, big or small, all had Cao Cao in their mansion. Although they were angry, they were still unwilling to get to the bottom of it and just indulged in it.

Right now, Cao Cao never imagined that his connivance to Emperor Xian of the Han would turn out to be fruitful at this time.Cao Cao couldn't bear it anymore, and immediately made up his mind to return to the imperial court in order to bloodwash some potential hazards in the imperial court!

That night, Cao Cao discussed with Guo Jia and Zhang Jai the appropriateness of withdrawing the army, and the plan was finalized, so he ordered the generals to make preparations early.

The next day, Cao Cao suddenly ordered Xu Chu to lead a group of elite soldiers to fight at Hulao Pass.He also ordered Zhang Jai and Li Dian to lead two teams of soldiers and horses to set up an ambush on the hillside five miles away from the back of the stronghold.Xu Chu led the army just out of the camp. At the same time, Cao Cao, Yu Jin and other generals led most of the troops to escort food, grass, supplies, siege equipment and other materials out of the camp, and retreated to Luoyang.

However, it is said that Xu Chu led his troops to Wanghulao Pass to kill in a mighty manner, and Guan Yu had already been reported by the Northwest Army scouts.Cao Jun hadn't moved for many days, and Xu Chu suddenly came to kill him, with unknown intentions.Guan Yu immediately dialed an army, and set up a formation under the pass, ready to fight.Xu Chu led the army to rush, and also set up a formation, and the two formations faced each other.Xu Chu patted his horse and rushed out, calling Guan Yu to fight.Guan Yu's injuries had not yet healed, Zhang Liao was afraid that he would go into battle with injuries, so he rushed to kill him first, raised Fang Tian's painted halberd, galloped his horse, and shouted sharply.

"Cao's sick tiger is too presumptuous!! What kind of person is my family Guan Gong, how could you be so indiscriminate as to offend!!?"

Xu Chu was furious when he heard this, his muscles swelled with anger, his tiger's eyes burst into a terrifying and fierce light, and he rode his horse and raised his knife to kill Zhang Liao.Zhang Liaofei galloped his horse and approached Xu Chu. He raised his halberd, and it swept towards Xu Chu like a flash of silver lightning.Xu Chu swung the tiger-toothed sword with all his strength, and chopped it down with one blow.

A loud 'bang' shook the faces of the soldiers on both sides.Zhang Liao rushed back to Fang Tian to draw his halberd, swung his halberd and slashed fiercely, Xu Chu raised his saber to block, and after more than ten bouts with Zhang Liao.Zhang Liao's sword eyes burst out with murderous aura, Fang Tian's painted halberd seemed to be filled with blood, the style of the halberd suddenly changed, and he used the bleeding Yan Bahuang's halberd technique.

Fang Tian's painting halberd suddenly moved, swallowing all directions, domineering in all directions.Xu Chu's complexion changed continuously, and his saber style gradually became disordered. Zhang Liao took advantage of the situation to attack fiercely, and killed Xu Chu for more than ten rounds.Zhang Liao chased after him, Guan Yu was overjoyed and hurriedly ordered the army to cover up and kill him.Xu Chuchili fled back into the formation. Seeing Zhang Liao's murderous approach, the crossbowmen in the formation were well prepared and fired their arrows. Zhang Liao rushed to block with his halberd. When he regained his senses, Xu Chuyin had led his followers The troops evacuated.Zhang Liao chased after him quickly, Guan Yu led his army behind him and chased after him for five or six miles.Guan Yu hadn't seen most of Cao's troops coming to help him for a long time, and he suspected fraud, so he ordered most of the troops to slow down to guard against ambushes, and hurriedly sent someone to order Zhang Liao to lead a fast-riding team to scout first.Zhang Liao led a group of troops and slowly chased after Xu Chu.All the way behind, chasing Xu Chu until Cao Jun Dazhai.

Zhang Liao saw from a distance that the vast Cao Jun camp was empty and dead, with false banners, his expression changed suddenly, and he hurriedly sent someone to report to Guan Yu.When Guan Yu learned about it, he suddenly realized that Cao Jun must have withdrawn his troops because of repeated unfavorable battle conditions. Xu Chuzhi's troops came to Hulao Pass to plunder the battle, but it was just a cover to cover Cao Jun's retreat.

Guan Yu must be in a hurry to order the army to press up and pursue immediately, but Xu Huang, who was in the formation at this time, persuaded him in a concentrated voice.

"Second brother, wait a minute. Cao Cao uses his troops like a god. If he intends to retreat, he should have prepared early. If we rush after him, we will be ambushed, and we must proceed with caution!!"

Guan Yu suffered a setback before, Xu Huang's reminder immediately became a little more cautious, and sent someone to report to Zhang Liao to inquire carefully.Zhang Liao got the order, so he continued to chase Xu Chu, while paying attention to the surrounding terrain.

When Zhang Liao was young, Zhang Liao chased to a hillside, Xu Chu suddenly ordered the soldiers to speed up, Zhang Liao saw that Xu Chu was about to go away, but he did not pursue hastily, his sword eyes gathered brilliance, seeing that there were many dangerous places on the hillside, he suspected that there was an ambush army.Zhang Liao quickly sent people back to report, reined in his horse and waited in front of the hillside.

Zhang Jai, who was lying in ambush on the hillside, saw Zhang Liao's troops and stopped suddenly. He knew that he must have seen his own army's ambush.Zhang Jai suddenly led a group of soldiers and horses to charge out from the left side of the hillside, Zhang Liao heard the shouts of killing from the left, and seeing that there were soldiers in ambush, he quickly shook his head and ordered the soldiers to prepare to attack.

Zhang Jai rode his horse and raised his gun to kill Zhang Liao. Just as Zhang Liao was about to meet him, another cannon rang out from the right. go.Zhang Ja and Li Dian didn't dare to fall in love with the battle, so they also led their respective deployments and retreated quickly.

When Zhang Liao rushed to the formation of most of Guan Yu's men and horses, Cao's men and horses had already fled ten miles away by the time the combined army came to kill them.Guan Yu Danfeng's eyes shone with frightening coldness, he stopped on the spot for a while, his eyes shot towards Luoyang, and he murmured.

"Cao Mengde had one day ago, my Northwest army would attack Luoyang, overthrow the Central Plains, and help my third brother Wen Bufan to achieve the great cause of overlord!"

After Guan Yu finished speaking, he reined in his horse, turned around, and ordered all the troops to retreat to Hulao Pass.When Guan Yu returned to Hulao Pass, Xilong had received good news from Bingzhou and Dongchuan at the same time, and he knew all about Gao Shun and Zhao Yun's defeat of the enemy.

Xi Long led all the generals in the pass to meet Guan Yu, and after saluting, Xi Long spoke first.

"If Long's guess is correct, Cao Cao will definitely withdraw at this time. I don't know if this is the case?"

Guan Yu was slightly startled, and sighed.

"The military division did not expect the prophet, and he is indeed a god!"

"No, the reason why Long expected this is because of the good news sent by the two generals Gao and Zhao from Bingzhou and Dongchuan."

Xi Long smiled modestly, then took out two battle reports and handed them to Guan Yu.Guan Yu was overjoyed, so he caught the battle report and hurriedly opened it to read it. After reading it, he was ecstatic and laughed endlessly.

At this point, under the concerted efforts of all generals and advisors in the Northwest, the Northwest War in Bingzhou, Hanoi, and Dongchuan finally came to an end.Cao Cao lost nearly [-] troops, but couldn't get half an inch of land in the northwest, so he retreated back to Luoyang anticlimactically.The news spread one after another, and people all over the world were stunned. Only then did they know that the prosperity of Northwest China today was not due to the strength of Wen Bufan, who was hailed as the champion Hou Zaishi, but a group of talented people under his command.

Cao Cao withdrew his troops and returned to Luoyang, so he ordered the soldiers of the army to wear their worn-out clothes and return home weeping.When Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty heard of Cao Cao's return, he was so frightened that he panicked.Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty heard that it was reasonable, so he arranged for Luan to drive out of Guo to meet him.

It's winter at the right time, and it's freezing cold.Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty waited for a long time with all the officials of the court, but Cao Cao's army was still not seen.The bureaucrats around were shivering from the cold and crying secretly.Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty was even more chilled, but instead of changing his expression, he waited bitterly. The officials advised Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty to return to the palace and wait.

In an instant, countless bureaucrats who secretly voted for the Cao family looked over secretly.Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty scolded angrily and cursed angrily.

"Presumptuousness!!! The prime minister is an important minister of the country. For my great Han Dynasty, I would spare my life to fight on the front line. As the son of heaven, I cannot share the joys and sorrows with Cao Aiqing and fight bloody battles. It is only a little cold, how can I be as fearful as a tiger, if When Cao Aiqing found out, wouldn't her heart be chilled!!!"

After Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty finished drinking, no one dared to persuade him again.Those Cao bureaucrats sneered secretly when they heard this.

When I was young, wailing came, and the sound of crying shook the sky, and Cao Jun, all dressed in white faded clothes, came in an orderly formation.When all the court officials heard this wail, their complexions changed dramatically.It can be seen that Cao Cao was shot by Xu Huang earlier and was seriously injured. They thought to themselves, it is possible that Cao Cao is dead! ! ?

Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty was ecstatic in his heart, thinking that the thief would be punished by heaven, he was so happy that he burst into tears.At this moment, Xiahou Dun stared fiercely at Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty. Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty was so frightened that his heart was broken, and he suddenly wailed.

"God is not fair!!! Do you know who is the hero who sacrificed for the country!!!?"

Dong Chengsu, the uncle of the country, was beside him, shouting to the left and right.

"Speed ​​detection!!!"

Listen to the left and right, and go on a fast horse.Immediately afterwards, a terrifying silence came, and under the city walls of Luoyang, there was no sound.I don't know how long it took, Dian Wei's face was extremely cold, and he personally led a police cavalry to report.

"The Prime Minister's merits and virtues are immeasurable. A few days ago, there was a divine light in the world. The color of the sky and the earth changed. Thousands of birds flew together, and dragons and phoenixes sang together. There is a god in the sky. I sincerely ask the Prime Minister to honor the spirit and return to the heaven! , so he ascended to the sky! Leave behind a pair of respectable shells, and be worshiped by the people of the world!"

Dian Wei is Cao Cao's confidant and soldier. At this time, he came to report the funeral in person, and all the officials in the court, including Han Xiandi, believed it to be true.All the officials changed their colors one after another, there were mourning and joy, but they all cried bitterly.In particular, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty fell to the ground crying, in pain, and the officials continued to persuade him.Just listen to Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty glaring at the sky angrily, cursing and drinking.

"Heaven has no way!!!! The world is in trouble, and the country will not rule the country. Fortunately, I was assisted by Cao Aiqing to calm down the chaos in Kyushu. Seeing that the world is about to be unified, why did I rob the pillar of my country!! Misfortune, misfortune for the people of the world!!!”
