The Warriors of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 128 stalemate
After Dongfang Sheng's Flying Eagle Battalion was broken, Lu Bu's Bingzhou cavalry didn't get any cheap.

After leaving Puyang City, Cao Cao finally collapsed from the horse with his eyes blackened due to excessive blood loss.

The quick-sighted Dongfang Sheng directly reined in the horse's reins, got off the horse and helped Cao Cao up, and then stuffed a life-saving pill into Cao Cao's mouth.

If the commander-in-chief dies at this time, I am afraid that the morale of the army will be slackened immediately. At that time, if Lu Bu's Bingzhou cavalry attack again, even Dongfang Shengyou's Flying Eagle Battalion will be powerless.

cough! cough!
Cao Cao felt a cool liquid running down his throat, and his mind immediately became much clearer.

"Tenglong, help me get on my horse and find Zhang Lei to stabilize the army." Cao Cao said weakly: "Tomorrow morning, some catapults are ready to continue attacking the city."

Dongfang Sheng took a deep look at Cao Cao and said, "Can my lord still ride?"

Cao Cao nodded, and with Dongfang Sheng's support, he reluctantly climbed onto his own horse.

drive!
As soon as he got on the horse, Cao Cao lightly raised his whip and drove the horse forward.

No one can succeed casually, Dongfang Sheng takes it for granted, all his military skills are obtained by relying on various scars and some diseases on his body, every effort is rewarded, without hard work, there will never be any Big achievement.

At this time, Zhang Lei had already run to a place more than ten miles away from Puyang City to temporarily stop and rest, but the generals of the Qingzhou Army were a little uncertain.

"I said the gods are envoys. Mr. Cao and your son-in-law just brought a few soldiers to kill us. Will they be all right?"

"Yeah, they haven't followed for so long."

"We can be regarded as elite soldiers after being trained by Coach Dongfang, but Lu Bu's Bingzhou cavalry... tsk tsk."

Hearing his subordinate's remarks, Zhang Lei frowned in dissatisfaction.

These Qingzhou soldiers were just a mess at first, and they would collapse as soon as they lost a battle. After Dongfang Sheng's special training, they have gradually formed an elite army, but they have not suffered setbacks before. The cavalry was beaten so hard that they couldn't find the north, and they must feel a little lost in their hearts.

"What are you arguing about?" Zhang Lei yelled in his loud voice: "You know what a ball! Who is Lu Bu? He climbed up step by step with his own strength. His Bingzhou cavalrymen were in Dingyuan He was already well-known when he was under his command, and later he joined Dong Zhuo, if Dong Zhuo hadn't been suspicious of him, would Sun Jian have been able to enter Luoyang City?"

"Don't forget, Lu Bu can draw with Teng Long."

What Zhang Lei said made all the generals of the Qingzhou Army lower their heads thoughtfully. No matter how advanced the training method is, if there is no actual combat drill, it will be empty after all.

Right now, Qingzhou soldiers need a large number of actual combat. Only in the brutal and bloody killings can the soldiers' strength be rapidly improved.

"Report, the lord has come!" A soldier trotted over and said.

Zhang Lei saw the pale-faced Cao Cao riding slowly towards him on a horse, and Dongfang Sheng was following him.

"You guys will have to work hard tonight to cut down some trees and make some trebuchets overnight, and we will attack the city tomorrow morning!" Although Cao Cao's voice was not heavy, it was full of unquestionable momentum.

"Here!"

All the Qingzhou generals responded loudly.

After Cao Cao stabilized his military spirit, his body flickered and he obviously couldn't hold on anymore.

"My lord needs to rest." Dongfang Sheng immediately got off his horse and winked at Zhang Lei.

Zhang Lei glanced at Dongfang Sheng, and then saw the faint blood oozing from Cao Cao's arm, and he understood a little bit in his heart.

"Follow me quickly." Zhang Lei stepped forward to help Cao Cao get off his horse, and at the same time said to the soldiers beside him: "Hurry up and set up a tent, the lord is tired and needs to rest."

After a while, Zhang Lei's soldiers set up a tent, and a stove was lit inside to keep warm.

Dongfang Sheng and Zhang Lei helped Cao Cao into the tent together. Once inside the tent, Cao Cao couldn't hold it anymore, so Zhang Lei immediately helped Cao Cao onto the bed.

Dongfang Sheng took out his dagger and burned it on the candle and said to Cao Cao, "Hold on, my lord. I will pull out the broken arrow in your arm for you."

Zhang Lei took a piece of clean cloth and handed it to Cao Cao. Cao Cao stuffed the cloth into his mouth and bit it, so that Dongfang Sheng would not bite his tongue because of the excessive pain when taking the arrow.

"Hot water, salt, needle, thread, golden sore medicine, all these things are ready." Dongfang Sheng said to Zhang Lei while tearing off Cao Cao's sleeve.

"Okay, I'll ask someone to get it right away." Zhang Lei turned around and left the tent.

Half of the broken arrow was exposed on Cao Cao's arm. Although the wound was covered with black scabs, as long as he moved his arm, blood would still flow from the wound.

Dongfang Sheng raised the dagger and gently pushed away the black blood scabs, then reached out and directly grasped one end of the Broken Arrow.

Puchi!

Dongfang Shengyi exerted force, and the broken arrow spewed out with black blood, Cao Cao's teeth clenched the cloth, and the veins on his forehead burst out.

"Here are the things." Zhang Lei came in with a basin of hot water.

Dongfang Sheng poured salt into hot water, then washed Cao Cao's wound with hot salt water, and then applied golden sore medicine to Cao Cao's wound.

"I'm going to sew up my lord's wound." Dongfang Sheng pinched the thin needle and said, "This way, my lord's wound won't burst open tomorrow."

"Okay." Cao Cao said, sweating profusely.

After Dongfang Sheng sewed up Cao Cao's wound thoroughly, Cao Cao's sweat had soaked through his clothes.

Then Dongfang Sheng asked the military doctor in the team to prescribe a calming decoction for Cao Cao to take, so he rested all night, and I believe Cao Cao will be able to recover a little tomorrow morning.

What made Dongfang Sheng speechless the most was that the military doctor who prescribed the medicine saw Dongfang Sheng suturing Cao Cao's arm.Finally, under Zhang Lei's intimidation, he gave up.

What Dongfang Sheng didn't expect was that Cao Cao led his troops to a stalemate with Lu Bu for two months, and in the third month, due to the locust disaster, the supply of food and grass was insufficient, so the two sides stopped their troops.

Cao Cao returned directly to Juancheng, while Lu Bu ran to Shanyang.

Then Cao Cao ushered in his most difficult moment. Yanzhou was gone, food and grass were not enough, and the morale of the soldiers underneath was extremely low.

At this time, Yuan Shao sent someone over, saying that he would unite with Cao Cao, on the premise that Cao Cao would send his family to Ye County as hostages.

After hearing the news, the people under Cao Cao were divided. The people represented by Cheng Yu firmly disagreed with the alliance between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, while the rest persuaded Cao Cao to agree to Yuan Shao, and finally a group of people remained neutral.

Dongfang Sheng opposed the alliance between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao. He stood on Cheng Yu's side. By standing in the team, Dongfang Sheng won the favor of Cheng Yu and Cao Cao's main advisers.
