Summoning of God of War of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 410

Zhuge Liang led his troops on the official road to Hongnong. Xu Shu's messenger came on horseback and told Zhuge Liang that the Han Wu army had retreated.

Zhuge Liang sighed, as if he had guessed this point a long time ago, turned his head and ordered: "The whole army retreats!"

Although the order to attack Hongnong has been ordered, the current situation is not conducive to mobilizing troops.

"Han Wu, you are really very human. If you continue to Chen Bing Xinye, I will naturally be sure to conquer half of Hongnong, force you to withdraw troops, and then discuss and negotiate to let me withdraw from Hongnong. Now you are willing to spend two months of Chen Bing in vain. Going south in order to relieve Hongnong’s pressure is really a choice!” Zhuge Liang narrowed his eyes, admiring Han Wu’s courage.

Being able to resist the temptation in the face of merit, and maintaining an absolutely strong force without looking at Shu, it really makes people feel difficult to deal with.

Conspiracy and conspiracies are often to take advantage of a person's greed. With greed, one will move forward rashly and forget the weakness behind it.Han Wu is like this now, once he becomes greedy and intends to conquer Jingzhou in a short time, there will naturally be mistakes in the rear.

But Han Wu is not greedy, does not make progress rashly, and does not make dangerous moves. This is the greatest restraint for Zhuge Liang!

Hongnong can no longer be conquered, Han Wu would rather withdraw his troops than allow himself to conquer Hongnong and disturb the hearts of the people, it is really decisive.

In Xiahoudun's camp, according to Li Ru's instructions, he did not choose to lead the main force to attack the Hongnong and Sili areas, but just put on a show.It seemed that Li Ru had already guessed that Han Wu would withdraw half of his troops, and made preparations in advance.

"General Xiahou, our army has already known the strength of the Jizhou army. What do you think, the general?" Li Ru squinted his eyes and asked Xiahou Dun. He also had something to say.

This battle not only damaged the eldest son Cao Ang, but also damaged his confidant Du Xi.Although Zhuyang Chengguan didn't suffer much loss, the humiliation of Xue Rengui breaking through the pass was indeed uncomfortable.

Xiahou Dun sighed helplessly, and said: "If we stick to the line of defense, we will naturally be able to guarantee that the Jizhou army will be unable to move an inch. If we lead troops to fight, our army will not have as many generals as Han Wu's, and we will be overwhelmed."

Li Ru also thought so, and after he nodded, he said: "In that case, then please General Xiahou to guard Zhuyang Pass, and General Cao Ren to guard Baishui Pass. General Cao Hong guards Xincheng, and General Xiahou Yuan guards Hanzhong and Dingjun Mountain. If Chen Chongbing guards the local area, Hanzhong will be free from worries. If Hanzhong is free from worries, Chengdu will be free from worries. Yangping is guarded by Zhang Xiulingbao. The mountain roads are difficult and dangerous, and the enemy troops from Yongliang cannot go south. Coupled with the help of the Qiang people, our army's western and northern parts are as solid as gold. Only then can Yizhou develop."

Xiahoudun nodded quickly, looked around, and said, "Okay, since that's the case, I will follow Li Ru's orders. However, after Li Ru's return, let the second son speak more words of comfort in front of the prime minister. In half a month, the eldest son's body will be sent to Zhuyang. As for the location of the burial, let the prime minister tell us as well!"

Xiahou Dun lowered his head, the only thing that made him feel guilty and dare not face Cao Cao was the death of his eldest son.This time Chen Qingzhi's use of troops was decisive and weird. Although Xiahou Dun thought he had hit the trick, he finally let Meng De kill his son.

Mengde will definitely feel heartbroken about this matter.

Li Ru nodded, he knew it was not a small matter, I'm afraid the prime minister already knew about it.

In the prime minister's mansion in Chengdu, Cao Cao suffered from gout and was already bedridden, leaving only Cao Zhi, Cao Chong and Cao Zhang by his side.

Perhaps because of the willingness to move to Chengdu, where the water and soil are better, Cao Chong did not die early.It's a pity that God still took away one of Cao Cao's sons, and it was also Cao Ang who should have died.

"Zijian, Ziwen, come closer." Cao Cao's head hurt, but he was very relieved when he saw these two sons.

Although Cao Zhi is the least like himself, he is also the most like himself.Literary talent and heart are very similar to his own, but it is a pity that Cao Zhi is not good at politics and intrigue, so he has no chance to be the son of this world.Cao Zhang is unwilling to study, and Cao Cao can't help it. After all, he is just a general.

"Zixiu is dead, I never thought I would send a black-haired person to a white-haired person. Chong'er, you are still young, and you still don't understand many things. Ziwen Zijian, you have to work harder in the future, at least you have to protect yourself. Your second brother What kind of person is he, the father is very clear, he is more like the dark side of the father. Ziwen, inherited the military domineering of the father; It seems that he has inherited his father's political thought and ambition. Although he has won the position of the eldest son now, he will never be negligent. Be careful that he will attack you, and at the same time, he will do so." Cao Cao is very concerned about his three sons , except that Cao Chong is good enough, but he is young.Although Cao Zhang and Cao Zhi grew up, they couldn't beat Cao Pi.

Cao Zhi and Cao Zhang hurriedly exchanged hot water for their father and wiped his forehead. Mrs. Bian sighed helplessly. He knew that her husband's illness was due to the death of her eldest son.

Xun Yu hurried in from the outside, entered the room, knelt down on the steps, and said in a low voice, "Prime Minister, there is news from the front that Han Wu is withdrawing. General Xiahou wiped out more than [-] people from Baima Yicong and captured [-] stones of grain and grass." , The captured luggage can support two thousand soldiers. Zhuyang defender Du Xi was killed by a surprise attack by Han Wu's general Xue Rengui. The loss of money and food in Zhuyang is not much, which is not a concern. The north of Xincheng occupies thirteen counties, forcing Hongnong's defense line Move north."

After Cao Cao heard the result, he had even more headaches!One of his own sons died unjustly in exchange for such a small advantage.

"Cough, cough, cough! Han Wu, my great enemy!" Cao Cao became more and more annoyed as he thought about it. He spurted out a mouthful of blood and passed out.

"Doctor Chuan, call the doctor!" Xun Yu hurriedly yelled, and asked the people outside to bring the doctor to show the Prime Minister his physical condition.

In the Shizi's mansion, Cao Pi listened to the report from the eyeliner and knew that his father had vomited blood and fainted.

Cao Zhen sighed, hesitant, but still boldly said: "Zi Huan, I have nothing to hide, but I have to talk. How can this middle-aged man vomit blood for a long time?"

As soon as Cao Zhen finished speaking, Cao Pi suddenly slapped the table and said angrily, "Zi Dan, you are presumptuous!"

Cao Pi was really angry this time, after all, no one wants others to curse their father for an early death.

Cao Xiu, Sima Yi, Fazheng, and Xia Houba hurried to speak up for Cao Zhen. They actually thought so, but they also felt that Cao Zhen's words were too explicit.

"My lord, I think that what General Cao said is a little blunt, but we still need to make plans in advance. At the very least, my lord should find some good medicine to prolong life for the prime minister." Sima Yi hurriedly spoke for Cao Zhen, and signaled Cao Zhen to hurry up too. Apologize.

Cao Zhen directly lowered his head and said apologetically, "Zihuan, I was wrong. I also wanted you to find good medicine for the prime minister. And brother Zixiu died. We should mourn for him. After all, he was very kind to us when we were young."

Cao Xiu and Xia Houba also comforted Cao Pi with a smile, telling him to calm down.

Cao Pi took a deep breath and nodded, thinking that he was a little excited just now.

Cao Zhen is not angry, he is suitable for Cao Pi to play with since he was a child, and he just said that money, he guessed that Cao Pi will definitely be angry!
Unfilial people are rare in the world, and Cao Pi is not the kind of madman who is naturally unfilial.So Cao Zhen had the courage to say that sentence, but it can be regarded as opening up a topic that Sima Yi and Fazheng wanted to touch on.

The two of them wanted to speak but didn't have the courage to speak, so they could only keep silent just now.
