Chapter 40 Boss Cao is furious!

On the other side, there is the main tent of Cao's camp.

The good news of winning Xinye from the front has come!
Boss Cao is now very proud.

With Jingzhou's portal Xinye in hand, wouldn't the nine counties of Jingzhou and Xiang be easily captured?

It was approaching dusk at this time, and Cao Jun was cooking sheep and slaughtering pigs in the camp.

I wanted to enjoy a delicious dinner before the army set off.

Boss Cao also specially called all the civil and military officials to come over and share fine wine and delicious food.

While celebrating the victory of Xinye, he also showed his courtesy to the virtuous corporal.

Boss Cao, who was sitting in the main seat, naturally moved his index finger.

The civil servants on the right also took advantage of the army's great victory at this time and commented one after another.

Some even composed a poem right away to cheer up the crowd!
On the left are Yu Jin, Xu Huang, Zhang Liao and other generals.

Looking at the delicious wine and food in front of me, it tastes like nothing.

When I think of Xia Houyuan's great achievements in this battle, I don't know how glorious it will be when he returns to camp!
Each of these generals seemed to have knocked over the five-flavor bottles!

I don't know what it feels like.
However, since Prime Minister Cao was so interested, it was hard for them to show bitterness.

I had no choice but to raise a glass to my lord and have a drink and try my best to echo him.

Express his joy at the great victory in the army!

Just when Cao Cao had just swallowed a piece of fat venison.

Suddenly there was a loud emergency call outside the tent.

"Report!!! There is major military information coming from the front!"

When Cao Cao heard this urgent report, he immediately said with a look of surprise on his face:

"There is another good news coming from Miaocai? But Guan Yu was killed? Or Liu Bei was captured?
"Sure enough! He is indeed a fierce general under my command!"

"Send the general information quickly!"

As soon as Cao Cao's words came out, the other generals lowered their heads.

The sourness in my heart became a little deeper.

But when the soldiers who reported the military situation heard what the prime minister said, their faces were full of embarrassment!
Facing the Prime Minister's confident look, I didn't know how to answer for a while.

Suddenly I was sweating profusely!
When Cao Cao saw the soldier's expression, he felt something was wrong!
"Huh? The military situation is urgent! Why don't you report it quickly!"

After hearing the Prime Minister's urging again, the soldier gritted his teeth and said:
"Excuse me! Prime Minister!"

"General Xia Houyuan lost many men and horses in an ambush while pursuing Guan Yu."

"Even General Xia Houyuan himself was seriously injured by Guan Yu and Zhao Yun."

"Now we are leading the remaining troops to retreat to my camp."

After hearing the soldier's evasion, he reported lightly.

All the civil and military officials present were stunned on the spot!

Cao Cao's smile stopped suddenly and he was stunned!

My mood felt like falling into an ice cellar at this moment!

Then the atmosphere in the big tent suddenly exploded!

Yu Jinxu shook Zhang Liao's generals and raised their heads one after another.

He looked straight at the soldier reporting the military situation!
When they heard the news, they originally felt sour in their hearts.

It melts as quickly as the white snow shines on the spring sun!
My mood took a 180-degree turn!

At the same time, he looked confused, not sure what was going on? !

Chasing down Guan Yu who was fleeing was not Chun Chun Bai's contribution?

But this not only failed to bring back the heads of Guan Yu and Liu Bei, but also resulted in a defeat!

And in less than half a day, the 50,000-strong army was defeated and returned!

Even Xiahou Miaocai himself was seriously injured? !
Guan Yu, Zhao Yun and others under Liu Bei's command, or rather Zhuge Kongming!

Are you really as good at using soldiers as Sima De said? !
Liu Bei's full force was less than thirty thousand, and most of them were infantry.

Now that we are deeply troubled by the plague, how much fighting power can we have?
And Xia Houyuan pulled out an army of 50,000 people! And they are all elite cavalry!

Fifty thousand cavalry! That’s 50,000 steamed buns! Then Liu Bei also had to chew it for half a month, right? How can it be possible to lose just because you say you lose? !

The generals in the tent were thinking carefully at this time and were extremely frightened.

On the contrary, I felt a little lucky that this bad luck did not happen to me!
If they go out with 50,000 troops and lose all of them, then don't even think about leading an army alone in the future!

At the same time, out of comradeship, the generals sympathized with Xia Houyuan inexplicably.

However, civil servants and counselors such as Xun You and Cheng Yu were a little embarrassed and at a loss at this time.

I thought about quickly speaking out some words of comfort to my prime minister.

At the same time, he was thinking about how Xia Houyuan could plead for mercy.

After all, this is the prime minister's own family, so he cannot really be punished under military law.

And still waiting for these counselors to speak out.

Boss Cao, who was sitting in the main seat, quickly reacted.

The expression on his face slowly became serious.

Then his eyes suddenly widened and veins popped out on his face!
He slammed the delicious food in his hand onto the case and got furious on the spot!
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

"Even if Zhuge Kongming is full of tricks, Guan Yu and Zhao Yun are as fierce as tigers!"

"Xia Houyuan is leading 50,000 elite cavalry!"

"How many troops does Liu Bei have? How could he be defeated so miserably?!"

Cao Cao was like a losing gambler at this time, and he was completely out of his mind!

His chest felt violently, and he was so angry that he was out of breath!

He couldn't believe the terrible truth.

After all, no matter from which point of view, Xia Houyuan should not have lost so miserably!

Under Cao Cao's thunderous anger, all his soldiers were silent at this time.

No one dared to show a hint of gloating.

Xun You quickly said: "Prime Minister, please calm down!"

"Perhaps the military situation ahead is wrong!"

"It's not too late to wait until General Xia Houyuan returns to camp and ask for the truth!"

And the other counselors present also knew what he meant.

It would be false to say that military intelligence is wrong. After all, military law is ruthless. Who dares to fool the superior officer with this thing?

That said, the main reason is to give Boss Cao a way to step down.

At this time, Jia Xu also looked at Sima De next to him.

Xin said, this guy really got it right!
Xia Houmiao's 50,000-strong army was indeed defeated by Wolong!

At this time, Sima De himself also looked surprised!
It's not that he was shocked that Xia Houyuan lost so miserably.

But I was shocked that Boss Cao’s reaction was so big!
I traveled through time and actually witnessed 'Cao's rice bowl' with my own eyes!
This can be regarded as a famous scene in the history of Cao Jun!
Boss Cao himself calmed down a lot when he heard Xun You's words.

Looking back, I was about to do it in the name of "disturbing the morale of the army."

When the pawn who truthfully reported the military situation was dragged out to kill Li.

Another announcement came from outside!

"Report to the Prime Minister! Xia Houyuan led the remaining soldiers back to the camp and has already arrived outside the camp gate."

"Knowing that he has no face to face the Prime Minister, he is kneeling outside to plead guilty!"

After hearing the news, Cao Cao quickly led all the civil and military personnel out of the tent.

Want to see what's going on?

And wait for everyone to come out of the Chinese army tent.

The first thing that caught his eye was Xia Houyuan, who was in a miserable state.

Not only does this guy look disgraced, he also has an arrow stuck in his shoulder.

Take a closer look at the thousands of defeated soldiers behind him.

Their faces were all as pale as paper, and they had abandoned their helmets and armors and lost their souls!
The contrast with the high spirits when we set off for the expedition was huge!
