Shu Han of the Three Kingdoms I call the shots

Chapter 852 The Disgrace of Cao Cao's Life

Soon, the soldier reported the news of the siege of Yecheng, which he did not believe, to the superior officer, and the superior officer did not dare to make a decision, so he reported it again.

After such layers of reports, they finally reported to Zhang Yan.

"What? Ye City is under siege?"

In Zhang Yan's military tent, after hearing the news, Zhang Yan could hardly believe it.

"General Qi, this news is true. I have also checked the official documents of those people, and it is indeed Shang Shuling Xun Yu's seal." A general standing in front of Zhang Yan said.

His face was covered with sweat.

Yecheng was besieged, what a big deal.Can you stop sweating?

"Show me the official document." Zhang Yan still couldn't believe it.Chu State is no less than ten thousand miles away from Yecheng, and it is really unimaginable that they were able to besiege Yecheng without anyone noticing.Zhang Yan couldn't help but said.

"Promise." The general promised, and immediately passed the official document in his hand to Zhang Yan.

After Zhang Yan opened the official document, she immediately knew that it was indeed true.Not only the seal is right, but Xun Yu's notes are also right.

Yecheng was under siege, Zhang Yan still couldn't believe it.But the facts were in front of him, and he didn't dare to delay.You must know that there are not only many Cao Wei elites in Yecheng, but even most of Cao Cao's family members are also in Yecheng. If Yecheng is lost.Who knows what will happen to Cao Cao.

"Prepare the horse. I'm going to see Your Majesty." Zhang Yan said, and immediately got up and walked out. Of course, Zhang Yan didn't forget to bring the official documents.After a while, the soldiers brought the horses, Zhang Yan stepped on them, and galloped through the Cao Wei camp.

Because of his high speed, Zhang Yan arrived outside the Chinese army's big tent soon after.

At this time, Cao Cao was still talking to Jia Xu, and he had just made up his mind to withdraw in a few days.

Hearing the sound of horseshoes suddenly sounded outside the big tent, Cao Cao was furious at first, who is galloping in the important place of the military camp.But immediately, he felt his heart skip a beat again.

It's not a big deal to gallop a horse in an important military camp, it won't be like this.

When Cao Cao saw Zhang Yan walking in in a hurry, he felt even more so.

"Your Majesty, an urgent report from Lord Xun Yu. Yecheng is besieged by the Chu army. Please, Your Majesty, send tiger and leopard riders to rescue Yecheng." Zhang Yan bowed down with the official document in both hands.

The news was too great, and Zhang Yan was afraid of harming Chi Yu, so she didn't dare to raise her head.

"What?" Cao Cao felt as if he was struck by a thunderbolt from the blue sky, his whole body trembled, his mind was dark, and he almost fainted.

Yecheng, Yecheng was besieged unexpectedly.Such things happen in this world.

Cao Cao has already realized the conspiracy and tricks. He once thought about Ma Teng in the West, Han Sui being defeated, Gongsun Kang in Liaodong, and the Wuhuan people rising up, but he just never thought that Yecheng would be besieged.

Because the Chu State in the south is now suppressed by him, at least it is impossible to send troops.It is also impossible for Ma Teng and Han Sui in the west to attack Yecheng directly by crossing Xudu, and it is impossible for Gongsun Kang and Wuhuan people in the north to attack Yecheng by bypassing Zhang Liao.

It is impossible for Yecheng to be attacked.

But why is there now news that Yecheng is under siege?

Cao Cao was about to faint, and his head was a mess, he couldn't figure it out.

"Your Majesty, take care." Seeing Cao Cao's trembling, almost unable to sit still, Jia Xu was also in a state of mind, so she quickly stood up and supported Cao Cao.

Reach out and pat Cao Cao's junior to help Shun Qi.

However, even so, it took a long time for Cao Cao to calm down.After continuing to breathe for a while, Cao Cao raised his head abruptly, looked at Zhang Yan with hawk-like eyes, and said coldly, "Come here, Gongwen."

"Promise." Although Zhang Yan lowered her head, she could still feel the coldness in Cao Cao's eyes. The iron-clad man couldn't help trembling slightly, promised in a low voice, and handed the official document to Cao Cao.

After Cao Cao took the official document, he immediately flipped through it.

It is indeed Xun Yu's personal letter, and there is also Xun Yu's guess that it may have come from the sea.Moreover, the matter of Kou Feng's many war horses seems to be able to get the answer.

At the beginning, it was Gongsun Kang who provided Kou Feng with sea-going ships and a group of war horses.That's why Kou Feng's Chu State is so powerful now, and it can even carry out ocean-going attacks.

Directly cross the hinterland of the Central Plains such as Xuzhou and attack Hebei.Fortunately, the size of Kou Feng's navy is not very large now, and it is still dominated by the army. Otherwise, if he sends [-] troops to the north, his Hebei will be messed up.

When Cao Cao first received the news, he was indeed on the verge of fainting, but now he has regained some clarity.And began to analyze calmly.

but.None of this matters for now.Regardless of whether the Chu army came from the sea or not, how to build coastal defense in the future, and in the longer term, how to settle accounts with Gongsun Kang.

It's not something that Cao Cao has to consider now. What he has to consider now is to personally lead the tiger and leopard riders to Yecheng for rescue.

Yecheng is not only the capital of Cao Cao, but also has a large number of elites from Cao Wei.It is still Cao Cao's home, with more than a dozen of his sons and countless concubines.

In addition, there are many Cao and Xiahou clans.

It is the heart of the entire Cao Wei, if it is breached, if so many sons, ministers, and clans are lost.Even Cao Cao didn't know how to deal with the aftermath.

"Call the tiger and leopard cavalry immediately, and I will lead the army back to the north in person." After calming down, Cao Cao immediately ordered.

"But Your Majesty, the army is out now." Jia Xu said worriedly.

"The army is temporarily handed over to Miaocai, assisted by the master, and the infantry and cavalry cover each other and retreat, entering Xudu." Cao Cao said decisively.

"No." Jia Xu agreed after hearing the words.

Immediately, Cao Cao put on the armor and helmet under the service of his own soldiers, and stepped on the horse.And in a round with the tiger and leopard riders who were convened together, he personally led [-] tiger and leopard riders to Yecheng for rescue.

"Don't worry, Ziheng, Zijian." Surrounded by tiger and leopard riders, Cao Cao, who was galloping, shouted in his heart.

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

Although Wancheng has always been the target of suppression because of the cavalry, it is still very sensitive to intelligence outside the city.

As soon as Cao Cao rode the tiger and leopard, a spy immediately passed the news back.

Xu Shu immediately summoned Wei Yan, Li Yan, Sha Moke and other generals under the tent to discuss in the hall of the general's mansion.

"General, it seems that Lu Boyan's plan has been realized. Otherwise, Cao Cao would not have led the tiger and leopard riders back in such a hurry."

In the hall, Wei Yan raised his fist at Xu Shu with a smile.

"Exactly. Now that Cao Jun's tiger and leopard cavalry are retreating, it is a good opportunity for us to attack aggressively." Sha Moke was rubbing his fists beside him.

Xu Shu smiled slightly when he heard the words, and said: "Master Wen is right, Lu Boyan's plan is mostly successful. But now I don't agree with the attack."

"This is a great opportunity." Sha Moke frowned, puzzled.

"Since Cao Cao led the tigers and leopards away, he will definitely leave Jia Xu behind. Now Jia Xu still has tens of thousands of infantry and [-] to [-] ordinary cavalry. If we go out of the city to fight, we will definitely lose more than win." Less." Xu Shu shook his head and said.

Cao Wei's army is still very strong, Xu Shu has always admitted this.At present, the position of Chu State is to defend, unless Zhao Yun's cavalry is really strong, reaching [-] people.And joined forces with Kou Feng, went to Yongliang to annex Ma Teng and Han Sui's cavalry.Chu State can have the same cavalry advantage as Wei State.

"Jia Xu?" Shamoke had been in Chu State for a long time, and he frowned again after hearing Jia Xu's reputation, but he still didn't bring up the matter of soldiers.

"Okay, the war is basically over now. But we can't take it lightly. If Jia Xu supports our lack of defense and takes advantage of the situation to counterattack. If we lose the city, it will be too late to regret it." Xu Shu ordered.

"Promise." Wei Yan, Li Yan, Sha Moke and others did not dare to neglect, they immediately agreed and left.

After they left, Xu Shu sat down and planned to write official documents.

When Lu Xun entered Yecheng, he would definitely not return empty-handed.A lot of dignitaries must have been captured, and a lot of valuables such as gold and silver were loaded.Therefore, Xu Shu felt that it was necessary to write an official document to Xiangyang first.

So that Situ Jiangwan can prepare in advance to accept these.

Cao Cao is still actively returning to rescue Yecheng, but Xu Shu and the others have already begun to consider the settlement of Yecheng's property and other issues.

………………

In the south of Xudu City, a large army is galloping.The soldiers of this army are very strong, and they use the formation of one man and two horses, which is suitable for long-distance raids.

It should be a valiant and high-spirited army.

But at this moment, this army is very tired, and it looks like a sick tiger.

This army is exactly the tiger and leopard cavalry under the command of Cao Cao. They set off from Wancheng and traveled for two days and one night. There were only three rest periods on the way, and the rest traveled day and night.

Even tiger and leopard riders can't stand this kind of marching method.

The same is true for Cao Cao, he has almost collapsed.But it was because of Yecheng that he persisted until now.

At this moment, the city of Xudu has arrived.Cao Cao planned to stay here for a few hours, on the one hand to inquire about the situation in Yecheng, and on the other hand to let the tiger and leopard riders have a rest.

For a few hours, tiger and leopard riders are made of iron. Cao Cao believes that as long as he rests for a few hours, he will be able to live again.

Because of Cao Cao's haste, Xu Du did not receive any news.However, there is no one who is not open-eyed to stop Cao Cao.

After Cao Cao ordered the tigers and leopards to stand by outside, he led Xu Chu and a few of his own soldiers into Xudu on horseback.After entering Xudu, Cao Cao went straight to Xun Yu's mansion.

When Cao Cao entered the city, Xun Yu received the news.

In the hall, Xun Yu couldn't help sighing after receiving the news.Now I don't know how to explain to Cao Cao, the news that Yecheng was destroyed has reached Xudu.

It was the message from Wang Lang.

Cao Pi, Cao Xiong, Cao Zhi and others may not have died in battle, but were all captured.Along with them are a large number of Cao Cao's adult sons, as well as civil and military officials and dignitaries.

The Cao family and some scattered clans of the Xiahou family in Ye City may have also been taken away.

A huge blow, a huge blow.

Whether it is for Cao Cao himself or for Cao Wei's forces, it is a huge blow.

It is the shame of Cao Cao's life.
