Can I get to the other side?.

Chapter 466: Cao Cao: If a brother does not avenge his brother, what is the value of having a vast territory?

This time, when they went south to fight the enemy, everything went according to Zhuge Liang's plan, capturing cities and seizing territories step by step. Lu Bu never got a chance to make merit, which made him feel frustrated.

What he cared about was not the reward after making meritorious service, because considering his current status and position, there was nothing to reward him.

All he cared about was that he couldn't show off in front of the emperor.

Zhang Liao defeated Cao's army in Yizhou, and Zhao Yun rushed to Chang'an and killed Ma Chao, but he alone did not achieve any success.

That's why he personally led his troops into the battle this time, in order to capture Jiangxia City in one fell swoop and tackle this tough nut to crack.

The key to breaking the city, of course, is to kill the enemy's main general!
"Take your life!"

Lu Bu was like a tiger rushing down a mountain, charging across the ten-foot-wide city wall and heading straight for Cao Ren and Xiahou Yuan.

Under the wield of his Fang Tian Hua Ji, the Cao army soldiers along the way were ruthlessly harvested like grass, and no one could stop his steps at all.

When Cao Ren and Xiahou Yuan saw Lu Bu rushing towards them, they subconsciously planned to retreat.

Lu Bu's bravery is beyond their reach!
However, they soon realized that Jiangxia City was now facing a full-scale attack by the Han army. Where could they retreat to even if they retreated?

Moreover, if they retreated, the city wall would surely be breached by the frenzied attack of Lu Bu and the Han army, and they would die as well.

"Miaocai, Lu Bu has already spent a lot of energy in the siege. If you and I join forces, the outcome is still unknown!"

"Let's kill Lu Bu together and avenge Yuan Rang!"

A hint of ferocity flashed in Cao Ren's eyes, and he spoke to Xiahou Yuan in a deep voice, obviously ready for a fight to the death.

Since we are going to die anyway, we might as well fight to the death!
If they could kill Lu Bu here, they would still gain something even if they still couldn't defend Jiangxia City in the end.

One Lu Bu is more valuable than Jiangxia City.

"kill!"

Xiahou Yuan had already had the idea of ​​stepping forward to fight. What he was waiting for was Cao Ren's words. Upon hearing these words, he immediately picked up his gun and rushed towards Lu Bu!
Cao Ren was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting Xiahou Yuan to act so decisively, but he quickly came to his senses and immediately followed.

"Well done!"

When Lu Bu saw the two men attacking him, he couldn't help but burst into laughter. He killed several Cao soldiers with one halberd and rushed towards Cao Ren and Xiahou Yuan!

As the saying goes, silver light suddenly breaks and water splashes, and the iron cavalry rushes out with swords and guns ringing.

The three of them started a desperate fight directly on the city wall!

Fueled by anger and hatred, Xiahou Yuan took the lead in launching an attack, waving the spear in his hand, and killing Lu Bu at the risk of his life!
The moves are cruel and ferocious!
At the same time, Cao Ren also rushed out from one side, but he abandoned his long weapon and chose to use a sword to fight Lu Bu at close range.

The two of them cooperated very well. Xiahou Yuan was responsible for restraining the opponent, while Cao Ren was responsible for advancing and forcing Lu Bu to reveal his flaws!

"Humph!"

Seeing this, Lu Bu sneered and did not take Cao Ren, who was approaching him, seriously at all. He used his halberd to knock away the spear in Xiahou Yuan's hand.

Then he raised his foot and kicked Cao Ren hard in the chest!

His movements were so fast that they happened almost simultaneously.

Xiahou Yuan was so shocked by Lu Bu's halberd that he could not hold the weapon in his hand, while Cao Ren was kicked and flew backwards, rolling on the ground for several times, and only stopped after hitting the battlements of the city wall.

His face turned purple and he looked in pain. He opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood. He looked miserable and embarrassed.

Lu Bu kicked him so hard that he suffered internal injuries!
"Zixiao!"

When Xiahou Yuan saw Cao Ren's appearance, his expression suddenly changed. Just as he was about to help him, he heard a cold snort.

"After fighting this general, you still dare to care about others?"

This was the last voice Xiahou Yuan heard.

The next moment, the world in front of his eyes began to spin, and he actually saw his own body... except that his head was missing.

"Wonderful talent!!!"

Cao Ren's eyes were bloodshot and he opened his mouth to spit out blood again.

The whole person was depressed to the extreme.

Lu Bu's kick fractured his sternum and seriously injured his internal organs. At this moment, he felt excruciating pain all over his body and it was a luxury for him to stand up.

They still underestimated Lu Bu.

This is simply a monster!

Lu Bu walked towards Cao Ren holding the Fang Tian Hua Ji that was still dripping with blood, leaving a bloody footprint with every step.

He held the Fang Tian Hua Ji across Cao Ren's eyes and asked coldly, "Any last words?"

"Ah……"

Cao Ren grinned, revealing his white teeth, stared at Lu Bu and said, "I'm going to fuck your mother!"

"laugh--!"

With a flash of cold light, Cao Ren's head fell to the ground, and blood gushed out from his neck.

Cao Ren died.

Lu Bu did not look down at his corpse again. He turned around and looked behind him. At this time, the city wall was basically occupied by Han soldiers.

The victory of this siege has been established.

"It's boring."

Lu Bu frowned. Winning so easily made him feel a little bored.

I couldn't make him use his full strength.

After sighing, Lu Bu walked over Cao Ren's body and led his soldiers into Jiangxia City.

……

It has been some time since Cao Cao led his troops from Changsha.

In order to defeat the Han army and lift the siege of Jiangxia, Cao Cao mobilized all his troops, and a total of 60,000 troops marched along the Yangtze River to Jiangxia.

Yangtze River and Cao’s ships.

"What's the situation in Chang'an? Is there any news? Has Ma Chao captured Chang'an?"

Cao Cao called Xun You and asked him.

The battle situation on Ma Chao's side has a crucial impact on the situation in Jingzhou. If Ma Chao can capture Chang'an, all the troops of the imperial court will return to support.

In this way, he could take the opportunity to take back the lost half of Jingzhou and make up for the disadvantage.

Xun You shook his head and said, "Reporting to the Minister of Works, there is no new news for the time being. I only know that the false emperor's troops have entered Yongzhou."

"Before this, Chang'an City had not yet been conquered by Ma Chao."

Cao Cao's heart sank slightly when he heard this.

Chang'an is not so easy to capture. If Ma Chao fails to capture Chang'an before the emperor leads his troops back, a catastrophe will be waiting for Ma Chao.

Although he had no good feelings towards Ma Chao, a arrogant, stupid and conceited guy, the enemy of my enemy is an ally, and in the current situation, they both needed each other.

So he didn't want to see Ma Chao being wiped out.

Thinking of this, Cao Cao couldn't help but sigh: "If Ma Chao had been willing to join forces with me earlier, would this be the case?"

"His 100,000 Xiliang cavalrymen will not be completely destroyed... I hope this guy can succeed this time."

Cheng Yu on the side pondered for a moment and said, "My lord, I think we cannot pin our hopes on Ma Chao."

"Chang'an is easy to defend but difficult to attack. It is not easy for Ma Chao to capture Chang'an; even if he can capture it, he will not be able to hold it."

"The top priority right now is to repel the enemy forces besieging Jiangxia City as quickly as possible and take back Jingzhou."

"Otherwise, when the troops from Yizhou come to attack us, we can only passively defend and retreat again and again, and it will be impossible for us to occupy Jiangbei again." The troops led by Cao Hong and Cao Xiu to attack Yizhou were completely wiped out. This was extremely bad news for them.

This meant that not only did they fail to have a retreat route in Yizhou, but the pressure on their defense was increased.

Cheng Yu’s analysis makes a lot of sense.

Cao Cao thought for a moment, then asked Le Jin, "Wen Qian, how many days will it take to reach Jiangxia?"

Le Jin said: "My lord, it will take at least seven days. We have already arrived at Chibi."

Seven days...

This number did not satisfy Cao Cao, because the situation in Jiangxia City was not optimistic. Cao Ren had previously written to him and told him that he had begun to control the soldiers' rations.

Although the Han army had been besieging Jiangxia City without attacking it, no one knew whether the Han army would launch an attack.

With the few remaining defenders in Jiangxia City and their running out of rations, it was undoubtedly a pipe dream to want to stop the all-out attack of the Han army.

"Pass the order down, speed up the march!"

"Get to Jiangxia as soon as possible!"

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

Cao Cao abandoned these thoughts and gave the order, saying that it was useless to think more now, the only thing to do was to rush there as soon as possible.

"Yes!"

Le Jin clasped his fists in response.

But at this moment, Xu Chu walked quickly into the cabin, his steps were hurried and his expression was a little panicked.

"My lord, something is wrong!"

Xu Chu attracted everyone's attention with just one sentence.

Cao Cao's face changed slightly, and he subconsciously had a bad feeling in his heart. He asked, "What happened?"

Xu Chu looked grief-stricken, knelt on one knee, and said in a deep voice: "Scouts sent news that three days ago, Lu Bu led his troops to attack Jiangxia City and successfully broke through the city!"

"Generals Cao Ren and Xiahou Yuan were both killed by Lu Bu... Right now, the enemy is heading upstream from the Yangtze River to attack our army!"

After Xu Chu finished speaking, the entire cabin fell silent.

Cao Cao was completely stunned. The tea bowl in his hand fell to the ground and broke into pieces, with tea splashing everywhere.

"Zixiao, Miaocai...is dead?"

Cao Cao said with a pale face and a trembling voice.

Xu Chu nodded with a heavy expression.

After getting a positive answer, Cao Cao could no longer stand. He felt pain in his head again, as if it was hit by a sharp axe.

However, at this moment, the pain in his head was not even a bit comparable to the pain in his heart!
"Zixiao!"

"Wonderful talent!"

Cao Cao's tone was filled with grief, and tears flowed uncontrollably from his eyes, and his face was instantly covered in tears!

Xiahou Yuan, Cao Ren.

One of them is his cousin and the other is his younger brother. They are related to him by blood and have been his right-hand men since he started his army!

This time he dispatched all his troops to Jiangxia, not only to protect this important place, but also to rescue Xiahou Yuan and Cao Ren!
But now, everything has come to nothing!

"Heartbroken" is not enough to describe Cao Cao's feelings at this moment. The overwhelming grief of losing his limbs made it almost impossible for him to breathe!
Looking at Cao Cao crying at his desk, Xun You couldn't help but persuade him, "Please accept my condolences, Sikong, and take care of your health..."

Others also stepped forward to advise.

Cao Cao's tears were streaming down his face. After a while of sobbing, he raised his hand to wipe away the tears from his face. When he raised his head again, his eyes were filled with grief and overwhelming hatred!

"Send troops immediately! Punish Lu Bu!!"

"I want to eat his flesh alive!"

Cao Cao staggered to his feet and spoke angrily, obviously overwhelmed by the anger brought about by the news of Xiahou Yuan and Cao Ren's deaths.

Lu Bu killed Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan and Cao Ren, and killed the three most trusted and closest generals under his command!

This hatred is irreconcilable!
Therefore, even though he knew that the Han army was heading up the Yangtze River to attack them, he still had no intention of retreating.

He wanted revenge, revenge for Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan and Cao Ren!

"Sikong, calm down!"

Xun You, Cheng Yu and Xun Yu all changed their expressions when they heard this.

Cheng Yu said hurriedly: "The enemy's morale is high now. If we engage them rashly, we are likely to be defeated!"

"My lord, please do not seek temporary pleasure and leave yourself open to endless troubles!"

The current situation is not suitable for a head-on battle with the Han army. We should retreat as soon as possible and consolidate our defense line.

Xun You also advised: "Sikong, Jiangxia City has been captured, General Cao and General Xiahou have also died in the battle, we can't lose again!"

"This army is our last resource to fight against the false emperor and Lu Bu. We cannot afford to lose it!"

His opinion is the same as Cheng Yu's.

No one wants to face the Han army at this time.

"Retreat, retreat! You just know to retreat! Are you going to retreat and wait for Lu Bu to lead his troops to attack us?"

It was not Cao Cao who spoke out in opposition, but Cao Zhen.

He angrily said to Cheng Yu and Xun You: "We have been afraid of them and have been afraid to fight them head-on, which is why we have been defeated again and again!"

"I've had enough!"

After saying this, he looked at Cao Cao, his eyes red as he said, "Father, I am willing to lead the troops to avenge my two uncles!"

"Father, are you going to watch that villain Lu Bu continue to show off and be proud of himself after killing my two uncles?"

Cao Zhen was Cao Cao's adopted son.

He had previously served in the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry under Cao Ren, who took good care of him and the two had a very deep relationship.

Now that he heard the news of Cao Ren's death, how could he not be sad, how could he not be angry!
"It's over."

After hearing Cao Zhen call him "father", Xun You couldn't help but close his eyes and sighed secretly.

As expected, Cao Cao had calmed down a little after being persuaded by Xun You and Cheng Yu, but Cao Zhen's words made him feel sad again.

"Zi Dan, you are right."

Cao Cao took a deep breath, his eyes gradually becoming fierce and determined, "If a brother does not avenge his brother, even if he has a vast territory, what is the value of it?"

"Lü Bu killed my brothers, I will make him pay with blood!"

The current situation has become extremely dire. Even if he withdraws his troops to defend, he will only be waiting for slow death. He doesn't want to continue like this.

Why not just settle the matter with Lu Bu right here at Chibi!

"Le Jin! Xu Chu!"

"The general is here!"

Xu Chu and Le Jin took a step forward.

Cao Cao coldly ordered: "Order the three armies to camp and rest in the Wulin area, and when Lu Bu leads his troops to arrive, we will fight him to the death!"

The Han army will go upstream and will arrive at Chibi soon. He will wait here, take advantage of his rest, wait for the Han army to arrive, and then have a decisive battle!
If successful, the enemy will be routed and the defeat reversed;

If we fail, our army will be destroyed and there will be no recovery!
"promise--!"
