Shuhan

Even though there is a war now, the current situation is really good for the Wei army.

The emperor of Han died, the prince of Han left, and the Fenglingdu Han military camp was crumbling.

Victory seemed close at hand.

Cao Pi delegated his power and let the frontline generals lead the army and take charge of the attack on the stronghold, while he stayed in the dragon tent and enjoyed the beauties brought from the palace.

Food and clothing, lustful thoughts.

After confidently destroying the Han army and retaking Guanzhong, Cao Pi's second brother became restless again.

At this moment, under the dim light of the dragon tent palace lights, a beauty was coming.

The beauty is dressed in palace clothes, like a blooming peony, enchanting and beautiful, overflowing with brilliance.

It was Cao Pi's harem Li Guiren.

"Your Majesty, it's late at night."

Li Guiren's figure is as graceful and graceful as a willow branch swaying lightly. Her shoulders were slightly sloping, making her look dignified and charming. A golden ribbon was tied around her waist, which made her slender waist more perfect.

His appearance is even more beautiful, with a face like a peach blossom, eyes filled with autumn water, eyebrows like distant mountains, and lips like cherries. The eyes are like deep lakes, shining with charming light. The bridge of the nose is high and the chin is pointed, forming a flawless face. The skin is fair and delicate, like fine porcelain, with a faint luster.

Now in Cao Pi's harem, there are three people who are favored.

The most favored one is of course Queen Guo, who is not only stunningly beautiful, well-behaved, and considerate, but has also been a revolutionary partner for many years. She is the only person to whom Cao Pi can show his true side.

In addition to Queen Guo, there is also Li Guiren, Yin Guiren, who is favored.

The favor they received was naturally due to their appearance.

Li Guiren, for example, was one of the rare beauties who was favored by Cao Pi for her beauty.

Looking at Li Guiren walking towards him, Cao Pi licked his lips, smiled, and held Li Guiren in his arms. The fulfilling touch made people unconsciously indulge in it.

As soon as the golden ribbon was pulled, the palace attire instantly slipped off, revealing her true white face.

Unconsciously, Cao Pi's breathing became a little faster.

"Your Majesty, don't be anxious, let me take care of you first, and then do the things in the house."

Cao Pi threw him onto the bed.

"I can't wait any longer!"

After saying that, the emperor's winter robes were immediately taken off, and he rushed forward to fight!
However.
Tonight's night is solemn, and the beacon fire of Hebei City illuminates half of the sky. The urgent military situation spread quickly throughout the Wei army camp like wildfire.

After learning that the Han army had raided the grain and grass stored in Hebei City, Sima Yi, Chen Qun and other important officials hurried to Cao Pi's dragon tent with solemn expressions.

Before Cao Pi had enough fun, anxious voices came from outside the dragon tent.

There was a look of displeasure on his face.

Any man will not be in a good mood if he is interrupted at a critical moment.

He had no choice but to ask Li Guiren to help him put on his robe.

"Let them in!"

Looking at the courtiers filing in, Cao Pi, holding a wine bottle in his hand, didn't look good.

"What happened? Are you so anxious?"

Chen Qun reported solemnly: "Your Majesty, something bad has happened! The grain storage office in the north of Hebei City was set on fire by the Han army. The flames shot into the sky, and the grain and grass in the city suffered heavy losses!"

When Cao Pi heard this, his expression suddenly changed, and the wine bottle in his hand trembled unconsciously. The wine spilled out, staining the table red.

His eyes widened with shock and anger flashing across them.

"How did the Han army know that our army was stationed in Hebei City?"

This is confidential information, known only to a few people in the military.

"Hebei City is nearly a hundred miles away from Fenglingdu. How did they make the surprise attack?"

Cao Pi stood up suddenly and asked sternly: "Then the Han army is really an incompetent force. Entering our Wei Kingdom is like entering an uninhabited country?"

Chen Qun swallowed and could only say: "The Han army made a surprise attack at night, but our army was unable to defend them. They burned down the grain garrison."

In fact, a sergeant had come to report before that there were traces of Han troops north of the Yellow River. But everyone didn't take it to heart.

Liu Chan is gone, and Fenglingdu is on the verge of collapse.

What backup can the Han army have?
The result is now
The backup is coming.

The grain garrison was burned clean by the Han Dynasty.

At this moment, Sima Yi also hurried over, his face also full of anxiety: "Your Majesty, the thousand Han troops who burned food are retreating to Fenglingdu. One man and three horses, turning like the wind, Infantry is difficult to stop."

After listening to the reports of the two men, Cao Pi felt dizzy.

I just felt a burning sweetness welling up on my lips and tongue.

His face became extremely pale, and his eyes showed unspeakable anger.

"You're here and you still want to leave?"

Cao Pi clenched his fists tightly and gritted his teeth, as if he wanted to vent all the anger and resentment in his heart.

He suddenly waved his sleeves and shouted angrily: "Pass my order! Immediately mobilize Puban Jinzhou soldiers to pursue the Han army! I will make them pay the price!"

His voice echoed in the dragon tent, full of endless killing intent and determination.

Facing the extremely angry Cao Pi, Sima Yi took a deep breath and stepped forward steadily.

His eyes were firm and profound. When others were afraid of the angry Cao Pi, Sima Yi bucked the trend.

He bowed his hands and said in a calm and powerful voice: "Your Majesty, please calm down. The Han Dynasty's raid on our army's grain garrison was obviously well-prepared. We cannot let this cause chaos."

Cao Pi's anger was slightly calmed by these words. He glared at Sima Yi and waited for the next sentence.

Sima Yi continued: "The news that Liu Gongsi has returned to Chang'an may be fraudulent. Our army should stop attacking the Fenglingdu camp and beware of the Han State taking the opportunity to set up an ambush. Now that our army's food and grass have been burned, our morale has been dampened. If we continue to attack forcefully, I’m just afraid that I will fall into a more disadvantageous situation.”

The main place for the Wei army to store grain was in Hebei City. Now that all the grain, grass and baggage have been exhausted, it will take time to replenish it.

If we continue to attack the city with high intensity, the rear supplies will be even less available, and there is a risk that the army will run out of food.

He paused, observed the change in Cao Pi's expression, and then continued: "In my opinion, our army should immediately retreat to Hongnong, consolidate the defense line, and at the same time mobilize food and grass to relieve the pressure on the rear. Only in this way can we Hold your ground and wait for the opportunity to counterattack."

Withdraw Hongnong?

Cao Pi's face turned the color of pig liver from anger
"If our army withdraws to Hongnong, the general of the upper army will definitely be killed by the main force of the Han army. Now that Liu Bei has passed away due to serious illness, wouldn't such a good opportunity be missed in vain?"

The method Sima Yi mentioned is indeed the safest.

But
Sometimes the safe way is not necessarily the right way, nor is it necessarily the good way.

The opportunity to capture Guanzhong is imminent, so we retreat to Hongnong. During this time of accumulating food and grass, who knows what will happen.

"How much food and grass does the army still have?"

Chen Qun immediately stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, we still have ten days of food and grass."

Ten days?

Cao Pi was beating a drum in his heart.

If the war continues, the army may collapse due to lack of food and grass.

People are like iron, and food is like steel. Those soldiers cannot help you fight on an empty stomach.

Is it possible to just withdraw?

Am I going to be defeated by that Liu Gongsi again?

Chen Qun, every word Sima Yi said was like a thunder exploding in Cao Pi's mind.

Anger, anxiety, despair, humiliation...all kinds of emotions intertwined together to form an uncontrollable violent force.

Cao Pi felt the blood surge in his chest, and a fishy-sweet smell rushed straight into his throat.

"Poof!" There was a muffled sound, and a mouthful of blood spurted out from Cao Pi's mouth, staining the table in front of him red. His body was shaky, as if he would collapse at any moment.

The Emperor of Wei was so angry that Liu Chan vomited blood! (End of chapter)
