Lu Bu's Ambition

Chapter 618 Zhang Miao's Rebellion
kill~
rumbling~
The sound of fighting on the Guandu battlefield was almost uninterrupted under the alternation of day and night. This time, the Hebei army was desperate to take the Cao army's camp with heavy casualties.

Under the strong attack day and night, the already low morale of Cao Jun's soldiers in the camp was even less motivated.

In just a few days, Cao Cao added countless gray hairs to his temples, and looked at the current situation with a worried expression.

"My lord, the soldiers in the army have lost their will to fight, and I'm afraid if we continue to fight~"

"My lord, there were heavy casualties in the army. The day before yesterday, someone in the camp found that our food contained

Cao Cao had listened to the exhausted report several times. Didn't he know that there was no hope of victory in front of him, but he just pinned his hopes on Li Tang's army, hoping for a turnaround.

"Okay, everyone retreat, appease the soldiers in the army, I have a strong camp in hand, it is not so easy for Lu Bu to take down our army camp."

The exhausted generals clasped their fists helplessly and chose to retreat, Cao Cao was even more preoccupied and exhausted.

When all the generals left the tent and only Xi Zhicai was left, Cao Cao sighed wearily, and looked at his confidant counselor with complicated eyes.

"Zhicai, am I going to lose this time?"

Looking at the exhausted Cao Cao, Xi Zhicai gave a helpless wry smile, shook his head and sighed, "My lord, be ready to withdraw at any time. The scouts will report that the rear is unstable, and reinforcements from Jizhou may arrive soon."

After hearing such a reply, Cao Cao waved his hands wearily. He knew that it was irreparable by manpower.

Seeing his lord become like this, Xi Zhicai saw it, and his heart ached, this battle completely shattered Cao Cao's arrogance.

Suddenly, there was a burst of exclamation outside the sound of fighting all day long, and Cao Cao was stunned and then shouted: "What's the matter, why is there so much noise outside?"

"Report~My lord, it's not good, the Hebei reinforcements have arrived, and at this time the soldiers in the Hebei camp are cheering."

After hearing such a battle report, Cao Cao stood in the handsome tent in a daze. After a long time, a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Flicking the cloak behind him, Cao Cao stared back at Xi Zhicai, and suddenly showed a rare smile.

"Lu Bu among men! Hehe~ I want to see Fengxian's demeanor with my own eyes at this time, whether he is laughing at his incompetence, haha~"

Mingming smiled wryly, but Cao Cao showed an unyielding pride, as if he had left all the distressed melancholy behind him.

At this time, in the Guandu Hebei army camp, the soldiers cheered heartily, watching the black army continuously enter the camp.

There were not many reinforcements, only [-] cavalry arrived, but it was a tranquilizer for morale. Could the reinforcements be far behind after [-] cavalry arrived?

The Hebei army that was attacking on the front line retreated like a tide, and returned to the camp one by one excitedly.

After five consecutive days of strong attacks day and night, the enemy finally retreated, but no one in the Cao army cheered. Looking at the Hebei camp in the distance, they were full of confusion.

Cao Cao walked up to the camp in person, watching the wounded and screaming soldiers being carried down, the blood-stained and exhausted soldiers' eyes were full of confusion.

He didn't have any expression, he was still the domineering hero Cao Cao, his indifferent eyes glanced at the army, but his deep black eyes looked deeply at the Hebei military camp in the distance.

For three days in a row, the Hebei army did not attack, but batch after batch of troops rushed to Guandu.

Shocking cheers resounded in Hebei Daying every day, but the black cooking smoke was getting more and more day by day.

Lu Bu in the handsome tent had a chuckle on his lips, and Guo Jia even chuckled when he looked at the generals in the tent.

"My lord, although this plan is plain and simple, it is the most effective at this time."

Everyone knew it well, and each of them laughed loudly after hearing this, showing excited smiles one by one.

In fact, there were not many reinforcements at all, only [-] cavalry came. It was true that they left the camp quietly at night and appeared on the Guandu battlefield with great fanfare in the morning.

"Haha~ It doesn't matter if it's a black cat or a white cat, as long as it can catch mice, it's a good cat. Isn't that what military advisers often say?" Dian Wei laughed with a ferocious smile.

The generals smiled even more when they heard the words, and Guo Jia pursed his lips and eyes with a light smile.

"My lord, the opportunity for a decisive battle will not be too far away, Cao Cao will not delay."

When Guo Jia said this, his words were full of affirmation. After a few days, the morale of the Hebei army was obviously high, and Cao Jun knew it without looking.

The Hebei army has reinforcements coming every day, and it already has more troops than Cao's army, but Cao's army does not have any support soldiers.

In Cao Jun's camp, there was a depressing atmosphere in the commander's tent, and all of them stood silently on both sides with disheveled faces, while their lord Cao Cao sat indifferently on the commander's seat.

"Everyone, attack Hebei Daying tonight, success or failure depends on it!"

wow~
In an instant, after Cao Cao's voice fell to the ground, all the generals showed shocking expressions.

"My lord, you can't, our army has at most [-] soldiers capable of fighting, and the Hebei army~"

"Yes, my lord, the morale of our army is already low, if we come out in full force~"

All the generals opposed the attack one by one, but Xi Zhicai remained silent. He looked at Cao Cao with bright eyes and knew that this was the last counterattack.

If there is a turning point, if you lose!Once Guandu is lost, the gate of Yanzhou will be opened.

And the chance of success is very small. Although he knew this, Xi Zhicai did not refute it, because he knew that this was his last chance.

If we wait any longer, all of Lu Bu's 20 reinforcements will arrive, not to mention defending Guandu, even if we retreat, we may not be able to retain the army.

"Report ~ urgent military situation, Zhang Miao rebelled!"

At this moment, an urgent report suddenly made the noisy tent quiet, and an orderly rushed into the big tent.

And Cao Cao looked at the messenger rushing in with a stiff face, his eyes were a little empty, Zhang Miao!
Xi Zhicai was even more anxious and grabbed the military information directly. After opening it, his face suddenly turned pale, as if he had lost his soul.

Chenliu prefect Zhang Miao rebelled!This is the heaviest blow, comparable to the loss of cavalry in the army.

haha~
Suddenly Cao Cao looked at the letter on the desk and laughed, with tears in the corners of his eyes, and looked at the generals with a smile, "It seems that God didn't allow Cao to have a showdown with Lu Bu."

All the generals looked at Cao Cao in horror one by one, and even laughed out loud without being angry or speaking. The smiles on their faces were not panicked at all because of such a big commotion behind them.

They don't know whether to admire their protagonist's mentality, or something else.

"At midnight tonight, the troops will be secretly withdrawn, and Guandu will be left to Fengxian."

Cao Cao, who was full of smiles, waved his hands easily, without any panic at all. After the generals reacted, they were all angry.

"My lord, we would like to send an army of [-] to break Chenliu, and take the head of Zhang Miao's traitor and present it to my lord."

All the generals clasped their fists angrily and came out one by one. At this time, everyone wanted to eat Zhang Miao, a rebellious traitor.

But Cao Cao waved his hands with a chuckle to signal to the generals to be calm and not to be impatient, "Okay, go down and get ready, remember that the news of the secret retreat tonight must not be leaked."
