Chapter 87 The Last Straw That Overwhelmed Cao Mengde!
Regarding the situation in Hanzhong, Cao Cao actually knew very well.

The two armies confront each other, and at this moment they are fighting for the supply of food and grass. Cao Cao soon felt the difficulty of transporting food along the Shu Road, and Zhuge Liang personally arranged behind the Shu army. In other words, the Shu army has an advantage.

But from Chang'an to Hanzhong, how can he be willing not to fight a battle?

Hundreds of thousands of people came here, how could they return without success?

What's more, his spies in the school office in Yizhou have already let him know the news of the Nanzhong rebellion.

His own two sons, Cao Pi and Cao Zhi, have no ability to fight.

If there is, it is only moderate.

The situation in the four counties of Nanzhong is complicated, the barbarians are not attached to them, and Liu Bei's army is all suppressed in Hanzhong. Even if Chengdu transfers troops, it will not be able to transfer many troops to Nanzhong.

What's more, the leader of the army is just a child!
I think that when Cao Cao was 12 years old, he was still capricious and unrestrained. He was not playing tricks, or he was racing in Luoyang, peeking at beautiful women taking a bath.

Then how can Liu Chan compare with Cao Mengde?

Even if the situation in Hanzhong cannot be opened, as long as the situation in Nanzhong is corrupted, the victory will eventually belong to Cao Mengde!

drag!
Just push hard!
So three days came in a hurry.

The situation in Hanzhong, as Cao Mengde thought, is not optimistic.

Zhang He and Xu Huang chased and killed Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong all the way, even crossing the Han River.

The flags and drums were silenced in Shuzhai, Zhao Yun stood outside the camp with a single gun on his horse, the gate of Shuzhai was wide open, and there were no soldiers or generals in the village.

At this time, the sky was already dark, and Zhao Zilong was still full of energy from the early morning to the dark night.

"Why hesitate? Go away!"

If it were Sima Yi, he might plan to plan a hollow city, but the fact that Chang Banpo was deceived by Zhang Fei is still vivid in my memory. When Cao Cao arrived with his horse, he directly ordered an attack.

Zhang He and Xu Huang took orders, and immediately took the orders to conceal the killing. Zhao Yun in the white robe didn't panic at all.

"Ahhh~"

"Rush! Kill~"

"Capture Cao thief alive and seal ten thousand households as Marquis!"

The sky was dark, and the distance was stiff and chaotic. I really don't know how many soldiers there are in Shu.

Cao Cao's black face turned pale, and his instinct of running away for many years made him subconsciously turn back his horse and walk away.

There was only a loud shout from behind, the sound of drums and horns, and the Shu soldiers from all over the mountains and plains came, with the same momentum for a while.

Cao Cao, as the coach, fled first, and the rest of the soldiers saw it, how could they have the will to fight?

Everyone threw away their helmets and armor, and fled backwards. Cao's soldiers trampled on each other and swarmed to the Hanshui River.

North bank of the Han River.

Cao Mengde's robe was disheveled at the moment, and his face was startled, but he had crossed the Han River, and the Shu army behind him could no longer catch up.

"I don't think there is really an ambush in the village, I have committed a big taboo in the army!"

Before Zhang Fei roared at Chang Banqiao, it was a plan of suspicious soldiers, now Zhao Zilong is standing alone, he thought it was also a plan of suspicious soldiers, he didn't want to have an ambush.

Cao Xiule immediately stepped forward and said: "The victory or defeat is nothing to worry about. Our army is backed by the natural danger of Yangping Pass, and we have hundreds of thousands of soldiers under our command. The victory or defeat with Liu Yuzhou has not yet been decided!"

"Not bad!"

Although he had only suffered one defeat just now, Cao Cao had also lost many battles, and in many cases, he lost in the early stage and won in the end.

Anyway, at the end, Cao Mengde was the one who laughed the most!
"Food and grass are not enough, and the morale of the army is not uniform. Fang has lost the battle. The Shu army must not have expected that I would dare to send troops at this moment."

Cao Cao stroked his long beard under his chin, his eyes flickered, and he gave the order immediately.

"Order Xu Huang to reorganize the soldiers, think of the vanguard, and attack and kill the Shu village. If he can break the village, he will have a chance to fight Liu Xuande!"

At this time, a person sprang out from behind Cao Cao. He saluted Cao Cao and said in a loud voice:

"A certain person knows geography well, and is willing to help General Xu go to break Shu together."

Cao Cao looked at it and nodded happily.

After losing a battle, this person still has the will to fight, yes, he can be reused!
"This person is"

Cao Cao, a young general in the army, does not know everyone.

Cao Xiu stood up at this time and said: "General Wang Ping is from Tangqu, Brazil, and now he is General Yamen."

"it is good!"

Cao Cao looked at Wang Ping brightly, and said, "I promise you to be the deputy vanguard, and go and attack Shuzhai together with Xu Huang!"

Wang Ping was impressed, and quickly knelt down on the ground, saying: "Ping will live up to my lord's trust!"

After saying that, he led the soldiers and horses of the headquarters to turn around and gallop towards the Han River.

Cao Cao withdrew to Beishan Weiying, expecting Xu Huang and Wang Ping to surprise him.

However, the development of the situation not only did not surprise him, but frightened him!

First, the vanguard Xu Huang and the deputy vanguard Wang Ping disagreed. Xu Huang led the troops across the Han River and set up camp, wanting to follow the example of the overlord of Western Chu, but Xuande and Kong Ming were not Zhang Han. Xu Huang was invincible and returned in a big defeat. The soldiers of the Wei army were forced into the Han River, and countless people died.

Xu Huang escaped in a deadly battle. After he returned to the camp, he accused Wang Ping of not rushing to help. In a rage, Wang Ping directly burned the Wei village and joined the Shu army.

When Meng De heard this, he was frightened and angry, and led a large army to seize the camp, but he could not advance an inch.

Instead, he was attacked by Kong Ming's magic for several days in a row.

It turned out that there was an earthen mountain in Liutou on the Han River. Zhuge Kongming ordered Zhao Yun to lead 500 men, all with drum horns, to lie under the earthen mountain; in the middle of the night or at dusk, only the sound of the cannons in the camp was heard: the cannons sounded, and the drums beat some.

Zhao Yun led the troops, just playing trumpets and not fighting at all.

For Cao Ying, this is really besieged on all sides, and the grass and trees are all soldiers. Not to mention those soldiers, even Cao Cao is a little depressed.

This wind seems to be about to be committed.

Three days later, Cao Cao couldn't sit still anymore.

He led the soldiers to wave his whip and shouted: "You are a mat weaver, you are ungrateful and unjust, Liu Xuande, you are a thief who rebelled against the imperial court, but you are rich in wealth, but you commit treason!"

Liu Bei led Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, Liu Feng, and Meng Da to come forward and scold them.

"I am a family member of the great Han Dynasty, and I was ordered to punish the thief. After you killed your mother, you proclaimed yourself king and usurped the emperor Luanyu. What is the opposite? How dare the Cao thief say that all kindness is unjust? Hurry up and accept the surrender, I will spare you!" "

The two sides are talkative, but they just don't make a move.

For several days in a row, Cao Cao already wanted to retire.

It seems that there is no point in staying in Hanzhong any longer. It is just a waste of time and food and fodder.

Transshipping grain and grass from Guanzhong to Hanzhong, crossing the Shu Road cost a huge amount of money, and there were not many people in Guanzhong.

But Cao Mengde, who had retreated into the camp, still had a last ray of hope in his heart.

Nanzhong!

Nanzhong, you are going to mess up!

Boss Cao was very anxious.

"Report~"

During the battle in the Weizhai army, Cao Cao was dressed in single clothes, with disheveled hair and bloodshot eyes. It was obvious that he had not had a good rest.

"My lord, the school affairs office will report in ten days."

Every ten days, the school affairs office in Yizhou will send news through commercial or secret channels.

"Quickly watch it with me!"

As soon as he heard that it was a report from the school affairs office, Cao Mengde became energetic.

Nanzhong!

Nanzhong!

He took the letter and couldn't wait to open it.

But after reading a few lines, his face suddenly darkened.

"Hey~"

He threw the school office report on the ground, with a look of loneliness on his face.

"God will not help me Cao Mengde!"

Cao Cao let out a long sigh, his temples had turned white, his face was showing signs of decay, and his energy was not as good as when he was in his prime.

He is sixty-four this year, and he is already in his sixtieth year, which is considered a long life in this era.

Think of my two sons, and look at Liu Bei's eldest son, Liu Chan.

Only 12 years old, he led the army to quell the Nanzhong rebellion.

Such a hero, such a hero, how can my son compete with him?

"Bringing a son should be like Liu Gong's heir!"

Cao Cao sighed sincerely, then frowned, a sense of crisis emerged spontaneously.

He had to make arrangements for his affairs in the short time he had.

Pave the way for his son!
Thinking of this, Cao Mengde no longer hesitated.

Withdraw!
