Shu Han of the Three Kingdoms I call the shots

Chapter 408 Mr. Cao Can’t Swallow Food

Jiangxia, north of Gucheng north of the Yangtze River.

Xu Huang's camp is located one or two miles away from Gucheng.

In the big camp, there are many tents in a row, and if someone stands in front of the camp gate, he will definitely feel a chilling aura rushing towards his face.

It's just that at this moment, the groans of wounded soldiers can be heard from time to time in the camp.

Days of siege caused heavy casualties to the army, especially the wounded. The pain of the wounded every day inevitably dealt a great blow to morale.

However, with Xu Huang's personal prestige, these things can still be suppressed.

Based on Xu Huang's calculations, as long as the city is attacked for another ten days, the Gucheng, as well as the land with a radius of hundreds of miles, will belong to Duke Cao.

But the problem is that just now, a spies sent news that "the barbarians were defeated and Sima Yi was captured. All the prefects of the three counties were killed."

The news is amazing.

Xu Huang's mood became very irritable, and he even avoided the siege today.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Xu Huang waved back all the generals.Sitting alone in the handsome seat, lost in thought.

The guard over at Gucheng is very out of character.Whether it is boosting morale or mobilizing the defense of the people, they have done a good job.That's why "his siege for so many days failed to do his best.

I heard that "the guard is only over ten years old. This has to make people feel that he has this kind of ability at only over ten years old. If he is given time to grow up, wouldn't it be more difficult to deal with?"

This son will definitely become Duke Cao's great enemy.

Therefore, Xu Huang attacked very hard, and wanted to kill the general.Seeing that the city was about to collapse, bad news came from the front.

Xu Huang felt unwilling," but he also knew that the timing was wrong.

Now that Liu Feng has defeated the barbarian soldiers and the prefects of the three counties in the south, it is difficult for him to make a difference with his more than [-] elites.

Moreover, Xiakou also has a navy of 6000 people.Now that the situation is clear, Xu Huang believes that Liu Feng is willing to send this group of sailors to Gucheng to help protect Gucheng.

Then in a short time, Liu Feng's southern army will finish its rest, march to the north, come to Xiakou and eat up his army.

It would be dangerous for him to stay here.

Struggling in his heart for a long time, Xu Huang let out a long breath, and secretly said: "The situation is not good now, and this Jiangbei land can only be given up for the time being. When Duke Cao goes south in the future, I will be the vanguard" to sweep for Duke Cao southeast. "

With a decision in his heart, Xu Huang shouted towards the door: "Come here.", "General." The soldiers outside the door came in.

"Order, set off and return to Wancheng." Xu Huang said in a deep voice.

"No." The soldiers obeyed and walked out.

It would be too late to leave when Liu Feng recovers, and leaving early now will save a lot of trouble.Xu Huang didn't care about s self-ordering to retreat.

As a general," Xu Huang himself has a high judgment ability, and also has a certain authority to make decisions automatically.

After ordering the soldiers to set off, Xu Huang took up a pen and wrote an official document to Cao Cao, which recorded in detail Sima Yi's defeat and the destruction of the three counties' army, and explained his reasons for retreating.

Although s self-retreat is not a big deal, but it is still necessary to report.

After finishing writing, Xu Huang ordered someone to send the official document to Xudu on a fast horse.

After doing all this, it also indicates that his southern expedition is over.In retrospect, it was just mediocre, merits and demerits.

Xu Huang breathed a sigh of relief, but still felt a little regretful.

The young general in Gucheng failed to capture him.What a pity.

... Deng Ai certainly didn't expect Xu Huang to think so highly of him, so he wanted to get along with him quickly.

If he knew that even with Deng Ai's calm temperament, he might feel a little bit of being favored now.

Cao Cao relied on Zhang Liao Xu Huang, Zhang Jai Le Jin, Yu Jin, Li Dian and others to attack the world.

As time passed, Cao Cao's territory became bigger and bigger, and his status and power became higher and higher. People like Xu Huang also became famous all over the world and became famous generals in the world.

It's amazing to get such a high evaluation from Xu Huang.

However, in this battle, Deng Ai's courage and ability were also greatly demonstrated. When he defended the city, he shot arrows early and stood on the front line.Sometimes, he even used Chu Dao to defend against the enemy.

Even once, he was hit by an arrow on the left button and was slightly injured.

Xiang Lang, who originally assisted Deng Ai in defending the city, planned to persuade Deng Ai to rest.But Deng Ai just asked the doctor to pull out the arrow and bandage the wound.

He stood on the city again.

Although Deng Ai is tall, he looks like a young man.But his soldiers knew that Deng Ai was only ten years old.The age of the weak crown.

Deng Ai's ability to command the army to defend the city is good enough.Now he can still shoot arrows in person, and he still insists on standing on the front line despite being injured.

This has greatly improved the morale of one's own side.It is also an important reason why Deng Ai can defend Xu Huang's offense.

I believe that after this battle, Deng Ai's prestige will reach a new level.It will play a very good role in his future commanding officers and soldiers fighting against the enemy.

When Xu Huang pulled out his camp, Deng Ai was standing at the top of the wall.He was wearing a smaller armor, and the "right shoulder" and left shoulder were slightly different outside the armor.

That's because of the injury on the shoulder, which didn't heal.Because of the bandages.Because of this, Deng Ai's small face was a little pale, and there was a hint of exhaustion between his brows and eyes.

But the whole person is very strong, standing there is like a smaller Liu Feng, with a heroic spirit.

Although Deng Ai was standing on the city wall, he didn't pay attention to his surroundings.He is meditating.

He was predicting when Xu Huang would retreat.It has to be said that Xu Huang is a general who is very keen on the military.Xiakou's defender, Gan Ning, has indeed been dispatched, and is preparing to lead an army of [-] troops into Gucheng.

In order to gain time for Pang Tong and Huang Zhong to rest.

It would be fine if Xu Huang retreated.If he doesn't retreat, Liu Feng does have a plan to gather an army to keep Xu Huang in Jiangxia forever.

But Deng Ai guessed that Xu Huang might be leaving.

Because "Xu Huang's army did not attack today. Deng Ai guessed that Xu Huang had received news from the south, so he decided to withdraw his troops.

Thinking about it, Deng Ai let out a long breath, feeling a little relieved in his heart.

Strictly speaking, this battle was his. He led thousands of people to fight to the death with the famous general Xu Huang in Gucheng.

Although it is a partial division here, it does not have much impact on Liu Feng's southern strategic plan. Even if Gucheng is lost, Liu Feng will only lose a few hundred miles of land and more than [-] people.

But Deng Ai himself attaches great importance to it, and the opponent is Xu Huang, so he is under a lot of pressure.

Now that Xu Huang is finally leaving, Deng Ai is really relieved.

After this breath of relief, the firmness and hardness in Deng Ai's eyes were immediately replaced by fatigue and fatigue.After all, PS is a boy in his teens, and he is still a few years away from becoming an adult at 20.

The ability to bear is not enough to compare with adults.Especially the pain from the arrow wound on his left shoulder from time to time.

It made Deng Ai feel like lying down and resting immediately.

"Look, general, Xu Huang has pulled out the camp, Xu Huang has pulled out the camp." Suddenly, the soldiers around shouted.The voice is full of joy and excitement.

"Xu Huang has pulled out the camp, Xu Huang has pulled out the camp." Following the shouts of the soldiers, several soldiers on the top of the city also appeared, whether they were tired or injured, this moment was full of joy "power.

Listening to the cheers on the city, one after another.

A smile bloomed on Deng Ai's small face.It's just that the smile disappeared as soon as it came out.

Because Deng Ai couldn't bear the fatigue anymore, his eyes were slapped and he fell to the ground.

"General, general." In the exclamation, the soldiers rushed forward.

..............................

Xu Du" stripped the mouth of the house.

Cao Cao is eating with his wife, Mrs. Bian.

In the inner house, Cao Cao was wearing plain clothes, his eyebrows were very gentle, coupled with his unremarkable appearance, it was impossible to tell that this person was the most prominent Duke Cao and Prime Minister in the world today.

Mrs. Bian has the tall figure of a woman from the Central Plains, very graceful, but her face is very soft, not perfect, but she has a gentle temperament.

Mrs. Bian was born a singer, not a prostitute, but a singer raised by Cao Cao in her own house, and later gave birth to three sons, Cao Pi, Cao Zhi, and Cao Zhang. She has a gentle personality and is very popular with Cao Cao.

Cao Cao is also a very prodigal person." After Mrs. Ding left, he helped Mrs. Bian upright.

"Prime Minister, there is an urgent report from General Xu." Suddenly, a voice came from outside the door.The voice was very familiar, and Cao Cao immediately recognized that it was Chen Zhang, the little official around him.

As a personal servant, Chen Zhang should know that he is eating with his wife in the inner courtyard at this moment.It should be the time to avoid disturbance from outsiders.

But Chen Zhang walked in eagerly.

Cao Cao knew immediately that something big was about to happen.

In the south, Xu Huang, Sima Yi, Sha Mohun, Jin Xuan, Liu Du, Zhao Fan, this group of nearly [-] troops" has always attracted Cao Cao's attention.

Because Cao Cao paid too much attention to Liu Feng, and regarded him as a little lion, a little overlord like Jiangdong Sun Ce.Even, he paid more attention to it than Sun Ce.

But from the beginning of the war to the present, Cao Cao felt very relaxed.

One is when an army of [-] crusades against Jiangxia, Cao Cao and his ministers are very confident, confident that Liu Feng must be devastated, and even the chassis has shrunk and his power has declined.

The development of the matter is also as Cao Cao expected. At present, Xu Huang, Sha Mohun and others are leading troops to suppress Changsha's "Gucheng", and I believe it will not take long to break through this county and city.

Completed the initial suppression of Liu Feng, and then went further to "break into Liu Feng's old nest Jiangxia" to weaken Liu Feng, and even eliminate Liu Feng.

Could it be that Xu Huang has already taken Gucheng?Expanded hundreds of miles of land?

Cao Cao was surprised at first, then overjoyed.

By the way, only such a happy event would Chen Zhang risk his displeasure by eagerly delivering the news at this time.

Xu Huang pulled down Gucheng, and then threatened Jiang Xia, causing Liu Feng to increase the pressure on his back.Afterwards, the morale of Sima Yi, Liu Du, Jin Xuan and others will increase greatly. I believe that Changsha will also be broken in a short time.

Overjoyed, Cao Cao couldn't wait to read Xu Huang's official documents.

He couldn't help but put down the bowls and chopsticks, and said towards the door: "Come in."

However, the joy was fleeting, Cao Cao had regained his composure at this moment, naturally.But even this fleeting moment was captured by the careful Mrs. Bian.

She guessed in her heart that something good happened.Cao Cao, who has always kept his emotions secret, was so happy.

Although she was curious, Mrs. Bian didn't ask, and Yang Qie, who stood out among Cao Cao's many women, gave birth to three sons.

But not only well-behaved, gentle.There is also a certain amount of scheming, knowing what to ask and what not to ask.Therefore, although Mrs. Bian was curious, she didn't ask any questions.

Just as Mrs. Bian guessed, Jizhang walked in.

After Chen Zhang came in, Cao Cao's expression changed, and Mrs. Bian's heart tightened.

Chen Zhang, who was born in the Chen family of Yingchuan, is the brother of Chen Qun's family. He has a long history, everything is very decent, and he rarely loses his composure.

But at this time, Chen Zhang's steps were hurried and his face was very solemn.

"Prime Minister, Sima Yi was defeated and captured" surrendered.Fifty thousand barbarian soldiers, thirty thousand in the three counties, and eighty thousand troops were wiped out. Seeing that there was nothing to be done, General Xu withdrew his troops and returned to Wancheng. "Speaking, Chen Zhang stepped forward more than ten steps." Regardless of Mrs. Bian's presence, Cao Cao was eating, so he directly handed the bamboo slips to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao's face turned pale, and then a burst of dizziness came from his mind.Fortunately, Cao Cao's concentration was good, and he barely suppressed the dizziness.He closed his eyes slightly, and opened them after a while.From Chen Zhang's hand, he took the bamboo slips.

After unfolding it to take a look, Cao Cao sighed a little.

"Prime Minister, how should we deal with this matter?" Chen Zhang asked.

Cao Cao knew how to deal with Xu Huang and Sima Yi.Xu Huang has basically passed, and he is also very sober, knowing that there is nothing to be done, so he retreats.

How to deal with Sima Yi is a problem.

Cao Cao would feel very angry about others' malicious betrayal.But they are generally more tolerant of the betrayal of others.

Just like Chen Gong, although he betrayed Cao Cao, he assisted Lu Bu in attacking Cao Cao, almost destroying Cao Cao's power.Later, Cao Cao attacked Lu Bu in the lower suburbs and captured Chen Gong alive.But at that time, Cao Cao still cared about his old feelings and wanted to let Chen Gong go.

But Chen Gong was stubborn and asked to die on his own.After Chen Gong's death, Cao Cao took good care of Chen Gong's family and even married Chen Gong's daughter himself.

It can be seen that although Cao Cao is regarded as a jn hero, he is not cold-blooded.

Although Sima Yi surrendered, it was not a crime of war.Sima Yi tried his best, but was destroyed by a Shamoco.It was God's will, coupled with Sima's influence.

Think of Sima's power" and his prestige in the ruling and opposition parties.

Cao Cao had a decision in his heart.

"Please the emperor's will, Xu Huang has a basis for advancing and retreating, and rewards fifty pieces of silk and satin and three hundred pieces of gold." Cao Cao said.

"No." Chen Zhang realized that Cao Cao didn't want to pursue Sima Yi, so he agreed, very tactfully, he didn't pursue Sima Yi's mistake again.

Soon, Chen Zhang went down with Cao Cao's order.

After Chen Zhang left, "Cao Cao couldn't keep his composure anymore. His face turned livid, and his eyes shone with fear.

Taking a look at the many dishes on the table, Cao Cao swept the food and yelled "How can I eat alone with this son here. "
