Xiaoguangong

The granary, why is the granary on fire!

As a witness of the Battle of Guandu and the Battle of Chibi, Cao Ren attached great importance to food and fire, and specially arranged for heavy defense. The guards of the granary are without exception the pillars of the Cao army. Cao Ren is the most loyal, brave and capable of fighting. The family iron army is arranged here, even if they are attacked by tens of thousands of troops, they can stick to it for more than ten days!
Even if someone accidentally caused a fire, a lot of clear water and fine sand were placed around the camp where the grain was stored, and as long as the fire was found, it could be extinguished immediately.

But the fire is still burning!

Not only did it burn, but it also shot up into the sky. The blazing fire reflected the ground and everyone couldn't open their eyes, and the sky was illuminated brightly.

fire!fire!fire!
This is Cao Jun's lingering nightmare.

Although the night was illuminated, Cao Jun who was going south was still dumbfounded. Even Ke Bineng stood still in shock. He couldn't believe that the heavily guarded granary actually caught fire!
"The big thing is not good, it seems that this fate really does not belong to Cao Pi!" Ke Bi Neng said bitterly, "Listen to my order, everyone retreat immediately!"

"My lord, where are we going?"

"Hide in the mountains first! If anyone dares to chase... kill them all, leave no one behind!"

Looking at the fire in the distance, Zhou Tai couldn't help laughing.

He knew that Huo Jun must have succeeded.

"Cao Jun's sons, Hugh is about to die.

Cao Pi has no destiny, there are gods to help us, please retreat quickly, I can keep you safe! "

Zhou Tai's angry roar attracted Niu Jin's hateful eyes.

"Hugh is so arrogant, my son, what is the destiny, how can you comment on it?"

Zhang Yun also panicked when he saw the fire soaring into the sky.

In the Battle of Guandu that year, Yuan Shao's army's Wuchao, where grain was stored, was also engulfed in flames. Zhang Yun felt that Yuan Shao's end was approaching, and quickly led his army to surrender to Cao Cao with Gao Lan.

Now that the familiar flames are raging into the sky again, is it possible that the precarious Cao Wei will also face a devastating blow at this time?
Even if, even if Wancheng can be breached now, so what?
Le Jin is good at fighting, and there are tens of thousands of Jingzhou troops behind him.

If they all rushed to the battlefield, the consequences would be unimaginable!

"What are you waiting for! Put out the fire!"

Zhang He made a decisive decision and told his subordinates to rush to put out the fire—this was an excellent opportunity to escape from the battlefield, and Zhang He, who used his troops skillfully, would never miss this rare opportunity.

Cao Ren was sweating like rain.

While commanding the soldiers to put out the fire, he quickly ordered everyone under his command to respond to the enemy and investigate the situation.

Soon, he heard a piece of news from Cao Hongying that left him dumbfounded.

Huo Jun suddenly appeared in Cao Hong's camp. They captured Cao Hong alive, escorted him directly to the food store, and ordered Cao Hong to order all the soldiers to attack the city.

Although those soldiers were suspicious, they didn't dare to disobey Cao Hong's order at all, so they could only attack one after another.

After that, Huo Jun started to set fire to the camp without any hindrance, and even led people to kidnap Cao Hong to leave and retreat into Wancheng!
Cao Ren was dumbfounded.

If other people made a mistake, he would have been furious and screaming to kill his whole family.

But this time it was actually Cao Hong...

It's Cao Hong again!

Cao Hong was caught by Huo Jun just like Jiang Ling.

He had no dead ends, and he didn't fight Huo Jun desperately. Instead, he surrendered to Huo Jun so humblely and cowardly, and let Huo Jun burn Cao Jun's rations!

Now Cao Ren is in such a mess that he thinks this is a joke made by God.

"Extinguish the fire! Extinguish the fire! Make no mistakes!"

Cao Ren finally made a choice between saving food and annihilating the defenders of Wancheng.

With Cao Jun's entire army thrown into the fire, Zhoutai, who had fought hard for a long time, was finally able to escape from the encirclement.

Everyone cheered in unison, and returned to Wancheng in the light of Cao Jun's barracks. Cheerful singing and loud cheers resounded throughout the city, and everyone saw the dawn of victory.

In the absence of very good fire-fighting equipment, Cao Jun also paid a lot of sacrifices in extinguishing the fire.

The fire spread quickly, but luckily, a light rain fell in time, and finally the fire was slightly controlled.

After a night of fighting the fire, the fire was finally under control. The dawn light came down, and all the generals of Cao Jun looked at the ashes that were still warm, and they all fell into boundless depression.

Most of the grain and grass were burned, and Lieutenant Cao Hong was kidnapped.

It took less than two days for this battle to become like this, which was really unexpected before the expedition.

This is not all the bad news. The generals counted the soldiers and found that Cao Jun lost nearly 3 people in the homework battle!

Even if it was [-] pigs, Zhou Tai and Huo Jun couldn't kill them overnight.

Most of Cao's soldiers saw the soaring flames and thought that this battle was hopeless, so they fled one after another.

In particular, many people under Cao Hong's command were worried that they would be implicated and dispersed, and the Xianbei people under Ke Bineng's subordinates, who were fiercely commanding Ke Bineng, even dispersed without knowing where they were going.

The army, which was so ambitious and well-organized during the day yesterday, has now become like this. Cao Ren felt a wave of despair filling his head, and almost cried out.

It’s over.

He knew it was really over.

Even if he could break Wancheng, he would definitely not be able to defeat Le Jin Cai Mao.

If this battle is defeated, the morale of Cao's army will also suffer a devastating blow, and the country of Cao's family will also...

will also...

This fierce general of Cao Jun, who has been in battle since the time of pacifying the Yellow Turban, is not only desperate, but also deeply unwilling.

He looked around and saw that Wang Shuang, Xia Houshang, Zhang Yun and others all lowered their heads, and couldn't help stamping their feet vigorously.

It would be nice if the giant eagle was there.

The school affairs under the command of the giant eagle are so powerful. When we were besieged in Jiangling, he could accurately find the enemy's location and annihilate him. He never let the thieves succeed. Now Da Wei has become like this, Yunshan rebelled, Le Jin rebelled , Zang Ba will also rebel soon...

We fought all our lives, why did we get such a result!
I'm not convinced!

"General, let's..." Xia Houshang asked tremblingly.

A stern look flashed in Cao Ren's eyes, and he said with hatred: "What are you afraid of! Isn't the army rations not burned yet?"

He turned angrily and roared:
"In the homework battle, our army fell into the tricks of the bandits. Although the losses were not small, our troops were still far superior to the bandits.

Victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs. If you encounter such a small setback and despair, how can you rectify the world and level the world? "

"This general will personally supervise the army attacking the city, who dares to say retreat, behead!"

To be honest, Cao Jun's current strength is still far above the defenders in the city.

But everyone knows that once the attacking side falls into a huge setback, it will definitely lose its fighting spirit.

Looking at the dejected generals of Cao Jun, Cao Ren didn't know where the battle would go.

Do everything, do everything.

At least, I am worthy of the late Wang Houen.

Cao Ren returned to the army tent and arranged for the siege again.

He knew that the Xiongnu soldiers left behind were also unreliable, and after Xianbei escaped, they were very likely to escape.

Even if Wancheng was broken, they would not have the ability to continue going south after the massacre, so they could only rest temporarily and wait for the big battle.

Cao Ren washed his face with cold water to calm himself down a bit, then called Wang Shuang and asked him to bring a pen and ink.

After contemplating for a moment, Cao Ren decided not to show off his poor handwriting, and said in a low voice:

"How many confidantes are there?"

"Uh," Wang Shuang was taken aback, "Also, there are as many as a hundred people."

"So few..." Cao Ren was disappointed for a while.

It would be nice if the giant eagle was there.

There are countless capable people and strangers under the command of the giant eagle, and they will never fall into such a desperate situation.

I, Cao Ren, commanded thousands of troops and horses, but now I have only a hundred people at my disposal. Wouldn't it be ridiculed by others!

He hesitated for a long time and sighed:

"Hundred people, let's have a hundred people!"

"Send your confidantes to find the King of Wu, and let the King of Wu send troops quickly, leave Guan Yu alone, and attack Xiangyang first.

Tell Wu Wang the truth about our defeat today, he will make his own decision. "

"Send someone to pass on Cai Mao, saying that this battle is our grievance with Le Jin, and has nothing to do with Cai Mao, so that he can just sit on the sidelines and stop fighting with us.

If he dares to come, even if we can't beat Le Jin, we will do our best to destroy him first! "

Cao Ren knew that Cai Mao was always at the top of his game, and knew that after Cao Ren's defeat, he might take the initiative to go north in order to please Le Jin. What he had to do now was to quickly dispel Cai Mao's thoughts.

"Finally..." Cao Ren sighed, "I have a letter written by myself, and I must ask my confidants to hand it to Juying. If our army loses this battle, I hope Juying can take care of the big things, and don't let the emperor be dusted!"
