The son of Yuan Shao who traveled through the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 124

"Zhang He, it's rebellion, Zhang He, it's rebellion. Cao Bing is defeated, Cao Bing is defeated." Someone shouted loudly in the team.

When Cao Jun's soldiers heard it, why, Dutinghou Zhang Yun rebelled, and Cao Jun was defeated.Then, let's - let's withdraw too -

It's a bit like the Battle of Feishui.

Due to the large number of Cao soldiers and the narrow space, and some people shouted that the soldiers were defeated, the soldiers panicked and rioted all of a sudden.If it weren't for the well-trained tiger and leopard riders and strict military discipline, these people might flee in all directions.

I heard Cao's soldiers shouting, and saw some of the cavalry coming from the rear in the whirlwind, some were under the banner of Hejian Zhang He and Gao Lan, and I immediately realized what had happened.

"General Zhang and we attack back and forth, brothers, kill." Wen Chou shouted while running.

When Cao Bing heard the flank attack, his mind became even more confused.Reluctantly fighting with the Black Dragon Knight, but in his heart he only thought about what was behind him.One hundred thousand troops lined up in a line, but only the front team and the rear team were in contact with our army. The others were staring at each other, some rushed forward, and some ran backward.It didn't take much effort to become a beehive.

Although Zhang He and Gao Lan shouted vigorously, they were actually not sure, because they only had a thousand people in their hands.Cao Cao didn't trust the two at all, and never gave him the right to command the troops.These 1000 people are still cronies that have been accumulated with great difficulty.But both of them were thinking in their hearts, forget it, the big deal is to die with the young master.

Xu Chu Yujin was holding the formation at the back, and when he saw Zhang He's high view, he led his troops to kill, and made Cao Bing into a pot of porridge, and immediately came over and shouted; Mouth phlegm: "I and the second son are brothers, how can we bow down and surrender to the thief, and follow each other before, but it is an expedient measure. Xu Chu looks at the sword."

Raise the knife to kill Xu Chu.Xu Chu was not weak either, so he immediately fought with Zhang He.Gao Lan thought to himself, I can't fight Yu Jin, I have to lead people to muddy Cao Bing's waters in order to win more with less.So he circumvented the prohibition and led people to continue rushing into the depths.

Three mighty armies, quickly entangled together, like two giant pythons, copulating and writhing on the street, the entanglement became tighter, and the fighting became more intense——

The battle fought from the streets to the alleys, and the two sides twisted into a huge vortex that spanned twenty miles.

The battle didn't last long, because Cao's army was too much to fight.Countless people trampled on each other to death.Many soldiers fled without understanding the situation.Cao Bing thought that Zhang Yun had brought thousands of troops, so he had no intention of fighting.I thought maybe Prime Minister Cao had already been killed by this traitor! !At this time, someone in the team shouted again: "Brothers, Cao Bing can't stand it anymore, run away." These words hit everyone's heart.Cao Jun immediately swarmed and retreated like a flock of sheep driven by wolves.

Cao Jun was defeated in a muddleheaded manner in the sudden onslaught, losing more than [-] men, and ran for [-] miles, and was almost at the gate of the city before stopping the momentum.This is the tiger and leopard cavalry. If it were an army like Fu Jian's, the entire army would be wiped out

Cao Cao stood there as if he had been struck by lightning. Human nature is so complicated that he was confused.Why the hell are there white-eyed wolves around me, first Guan Yu, and now Zhang He Gao Lan.Although Guan Yu left, although it was sad, it did not cause any bad effects.With Zhang He Gaolan making such a fuss, the bloody battle for the past month has been in vain——

Ru'nan and Xuchang's emergency battle reports flew over like snowflakes.For a while, it was said that Liu Biao's army had broken through Fancheng, and for a while, it was said that Zhao Yun's troops had begun to ascend the city.Cao Cao's heart was like growing grass, itching, and he could not rest for a moment.

Wang Lang said: "Liu Biao is full. What good is it for him if Yuan Shao wins." Cao Cao didn't take it seriously. He felt that this was the only thing Liu Jingsheng did in his life that he admired.Because Yuan and Cao will threaten the nine counties of Jingzhou regardless of which side wins. If he wants to keep his territory, he must let Yuan Cao maintain a balance.It is very wise for him to do so.

"If there is a loss in Xuchang, our army will have no way out. Order to withdraw." Cao Cao said this after being silent for almost a cup of tea.

Zhang He looked at the two tough guys and shed tears: "My lord, we are back, please punish us."

I felt a surge of enthusiasm all over my body; "Let's go back to Jizhou, the Golden Drizzle Tower is still there, we can go back to roast quail—Junyi, Gao Lan, we are good brothers—I know you will not betray me." His chest exploded, and he held the hands of the two tightly.

Wen Chou came over and said with a smile, "I heard that both of you have become Marquises, one is Duting Marquis and the other is Donglai Marquis. I'm so envious." Give him a punch politely; "Go to hell, who cares about that bastard Hou Ye, you envy, let me give it to you." Wen Chou smiled and said: "Forget it, I don't want Cao thief's things, you keep it for yourself Let's go." Gao Lan said: "When I get back to Jizhou, I will play the book for the emperor, and I won't be this Marquis." I hurriedly said: "No, why don't you do it, you just sit at ease, and you will start this battle in the future. The banner, it was conferred by the emperor, not by the bandit Cao, it is very honorable."

The next day, Cao Cao sent someone to the city to deliver a letter, saying that he wanted to exchange Jushou for Cheng Yu.I personally took Cheng Yu out of the city to replace Cao Cao, and wrote a letter.

When the two armies faced each other, Cao Cao raised his horse and faced me, and said with a smile, "I should have a son like Yuan Xianyi. I had a son like you in the first place, so I might as well." He glanced at Cao Pi beside him.Cao Pi was so angry that his neck turned red.

I said loudly, "Runan is in decline, why didn't the prime minister leave early. Liu Biao in Jingzhou is still alive, and it has always been your confidant's serious trouble. With him here, you can't face me in Jizhou."

Cao Cao sneered: "It's a bunch of nonsense, the real confidant is you. You, the Yuan family in Hebei, will not be destroyed for a day, and I will have no peace for a day." I laughed and said: "To each other, the prime minister, please read the letter." The soldiers sent the letter over.

Cao Cao opened it and laughed loudly; "Yuan Xianyi, don't deceive me." What did you write?
On the front, it reads: "The worries of the future have not been eliminated, why don't the prime minister retreat quickly." On the back, it reads: "Meng De is not dead, I feel restless."

This is Sun Quan's way to retreat from the enemy.The first pointed out the severe situation facing Cao Cao.The second sentence gave Cao Cao enough face, which shows that I am very afraid and scrupulous about him.

Sun Quan's original text seems to be: spring water is born, the public should go quickly, and one step will not die, and one will not be safe.

Sure enough, Cao Cao passed the letter to the generals as it said in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and said, "Why, Yuan Xianyi is still very afraid of me." Cao Pi thought to himself, come on, dad, don't be self-righteous.

All the generals worshiped together; "The prime minister is so powerful that who dares to disobey." Cao Cao was in a good mood after stepping down the steps, so he immediately exchanged hostages, and Jushou and Cheng Yu went back to their villages.

After Cao Cao returned to the camp, he said: "Order the three armies to withdraw from the camp in an hour and return to Xuchang."

In order to prevent our army from raiding, Cao Jun turned the front army into the rear team and pulled out the camp one by one. On the third morning, the first group of troops had already marched across the Yellow River in a hurry, which shows how anxious they are.

On the north bank of Liyang, only Li Dian's troops, about [-] to [-], were left behind. They retreated a hundred miles and stationed in Cangting.On the one hand, it prevents our army from attacking Yanjin, on the other hand, it is convenient for the next comeback.

After Jushou came back, not only did he not cry, but he kept criticizing the loopholes in our army's defense during the war.Nothing is pleasing to the eye.For a while, the city guards shouldn't be sleeping, and for a while, the judges shouldn't be guarding the city. Anyway, there aren't many things he can do to make him feel comfortable.It made Hao Zhao hate him, and said to me behind his back: "This old man is very angry. I'll send him back to Cao Ying." Don't worry, buddy, it's a bit long-winded, but this man is definitely useful.

Less than [-]% of the residents of Liyang City remained, and most of them perished in the flames of war.Jushou looked down on other people's deeds, so I sent him to Anmin to clean up and rebuild.After only one day, Hao Zhao stopped arguing and sent him back to Cao Ying, and kept smacking his lips. "This old guy is really smart. It doesn't take much effort to clean up this mess."

Jushou gathered all the surviving residents in the city, registered them, and distributed them houses and food.Calling on everyone to clean up the battle

May is already midsummer, the earth is steaming, and the heat wave is hitting people.

There are countless citizens and wounded soldiers who died in battle, died of disease, starved to death in the city, and the corpses could not be transported out of the city gate, and they were piled up horizontally and vertically at the root of the city. More and more, the lime was used up and covered with loess, and the city was filled with a more and more stench.The maggots crawling out of the stacks of corpses joined forces unscrupulously in the streets and alleys, and divided into small groups to move towards all open windows and doors. There were thumb-sized maggots wriggling in the quilt, on the pot, on the tables and chairs, and in the drawers.Terribly disgusting.

Jushou said that this is not good, it is easy to spread the plague, and it must be dealt with as soon as possible.

When I saw him, he was carrying the corpse with ordinary soldiers, with his sleeves and trousers rolled up, like a simple farmer.Some of the corpses were rotten and only skeletons remained, and it was hard to tell whose arms were whose legs, so they were loaded onto a rack cart and buried.

Jushou exudes a strange smell, which is the smell of rotting corpses, which makes people sick when they smell it.

The rack truck containing the corpses passed by, spilling pus and blood all over the road.

I said, "Sir, take a break." Jushou wiped his sweat and said, "There is no time to rest. If these corpses are not disposed of, something will happen."

He added another sentence: "It's better to burn it." I thought about it, and an idea came to me; "Don't burn it, bury it, I want to build a "Martyrs Cemetery" here to commemorate the dead Hebei Army soldiers, There are innocent people. Let everyone always remember this tragedy and the brutality of Cao Jun."

"Martyrs—the cemetery—" Ju Shou stared.It's because he has a lot of knowledge, and he was also taken aback by this sentence.However, he understood the meaning, it was to arouse the hatred of the people and soldiers towards Cao Jun, so that when everyone saw this cemetery, they couldn't help but greet Cao Cao's ancestors.

The martyrs' cemetery hadn't been built yet. Two days later, a bad news hit my head like a thunderbolt.

A soldier ran in and reported, "My lord, Mr. Cui Yan is from Jizhou." The soldier's expression was a bit strange.I was overjoyed and said, "Please come soon."

When Cui Yan saw me in the yard, he lay on the ground crying so hard that he couldn't stand upright; "My lord, my lord, my lord died of illness, my lord died of illness." He was wearing a snow-white mourning dress, which was extremely dazzling in the sun.

My mind was blank, I stood in the middle of the courtyard, did not move for a long time, lost the concept of time and space, and seemed to be standing in the clouds in a trance, a weak, loving face came by the breeze, stroked my head, and after a while Carried away by the breeze——

It was kind of heart-wrenching, and it was my dad anyway.

I uttered a miserable cry: "Father—" limp on the ground, tears flying like rain——

I cried loudly, and for nearly half an hour, when the generals heard the news, they all ran in from the outside, and Ju Shou also came in. He ordered the soldiers to immediately take out the white cloth that was prepared for the dead soldiers, and the whole army paid tribute.He, Wen Chou, Zhang Yun, and Gao Lan have followed their father for many years, and they still have a little relationship. They couldn't help crying.

An hour later, the whole army mourned for the Lord, and suddenly lost his loved ones. I felt dizzy for a while, and my spirit was severely traumatized.After mourning, she lay down on the couch and cried for a while, then fell into a deep sleep——

In my sleep, I saw my father, and he said to me pitifully, "Xi'er, you have died for my father, you have to avenge me—"

I jumped off the bed in a daze, and found that all the generals were surrounding me.My whole body was on fire, and the stuffy air in my chest seemed to be congealed into a hard lump. I couldn't breathe, the blood vessels in my temples were throbbing, and I sat on the couch as if I had no bones.I rubbed my temples, carefully recalling the scene in my dream, and suddenly a thought flashed through my mind: No, no, this is wrong with history, my father died too fast, things didn’t happen so fast, at least, One year after the Battle of Cangting—what happened?

Cui Yan puffed out his red, swollen eyes and said, "My lord, this is the end of the matter, you still have to express your condolences, but don't hurt your body. I have a decree for you, my lord."

"Whose will?" I asked in surprise.Cui Yan said: "The eldest son has already inherited the title of the Lord General Yehou in Jizhou, and I was specially sent to report the funeral, and I was appointed as the general of chariots and knights, Marquis of Qinghe."
