Lu Bu’s Life Simulator

Vol 3 Chapter 267: retreat

When Gao Shun returned to Xinye, he found out that Cao Xing had returned, and hurriedly summoned Cao Xing.

Cao Xing was actually a little stunned. Why did the allied forces from Jingzhou and Jiangdong withdraw? Doesn't make sense?

He wasn't stupid either, he quickly thought that Jiang Dong's withdrawal might have something to do with the two he killed.

"Who did you kill?" Gao Shun was a little surprised when Cao Xing finished the story.

According to the time, Jiangdong's retreat is likely to be related to the two people killed by Cao Xing.

"I don't know about the last general." Cao Xing shook his head: "I just saw that the leader of the army was clearly dressed and armored, quite majestic, and he happened to be waiting in front of me, so he shot him, but after seeing the other generals Desperate appearance, this person's identity should not be low."

Gao Shun thought for a while: "You can tell me what the thief general is wearing."

He has fought with Jiangdong for so long, and several of Jiangdong's main generals have never really met, but Gao Shun can probably tell them apart from their armor and general height.

Hearing this, Cao Xing recalled for a moment: "The appearance is too far away, and the last general cannot see it clearly, but this person wears a crown of hair, a red armor, and a black cape on his shoulders. Judging from his age, he should be about the same age as General Meng Qi."

Meng Qi...

Gao Shun recalled it carefully, and suddenly looked at Cao Xing, his eyes were a little weird, and Cao Xing felt a little hairy.

"Do you know who the general is?" Cao Xing asked a little nervously.

"Yeah." Gao Shun nodded: "Although I can't be completely sure, 70% is that Jiangdong's master Sun Ce. If he was shot and killed, Jiangdong would withdraw so quickly, but it's not difficult to understand. This time, you are standing up. Great work!"

Cao Xing was also a little stunned when he heard the words. He didn't expect that he would destroy the largest one in Jiangdong, which directly led to the disintegration of the enemy army on the southern front. : "It is all cultivated by the general!"

Naturally, Gao Shun would not be envious of Cao Xing's credit. After this battle, Cao Xing's shooting and killing of Sun Ce was of great significance. Afterwards, the lord would definitely be promoted.

Cao Xing said a little excitedly: "General, since that's the case, why don't we chase after the victory and capture Jiang Xia together!"

Gao Shun frowned and looked at Cao Xing: "How about the Battle of Blocking Yang?"

Gao Shun's words were like a bowl of cold water pouring down, which made Cao Xing, who was a little excited and unable to control himself, calm down a lot. Hearing Gao Shun's question, he secretly scolded himself for being stupid. Tell Gao Shun what happened in Nanyang during this time.

After Gao Shun heard this, he looked at Cao Xing speechlessly.

Cao Xing felt a little embarrassed, and bowed to Gao Shun: "The last general is greedy for merit, please punish the general."

Gao Shun frowned and stood up and said, "I don't think so many things happened in Nanyang during this period of time. I passed our military orders and left 3,000 soldiers and horses to garrison Xinye. The rest of the soldiers immediately assembled and rushed to Duyang with me!"

The imperial court's strategy of releasing Nanyang to make the three princes tear each other up and quarrel with each other is obviously impossible to perform, and only Cao Cao's family is left, and the next thing is war.

The loss of blocking Yang means that Cao Cao has opened up the last step to attack Nanyang. Now, as long as Cao Cao has enough troops and horses, he can plunder Wancheng to the west, and Wuyin, Biyang, Yuyang, and Jiyang to the south.

Ma Chao was able to hold on for a month even though he lost the first move and was calculated by others, allowing Nanyang to wait for the internal variables and support. Ma Chao contributed to this, but it was Lu Lingqi who brought the change.

I haven't seen this girl for many years. Although it's a coincidence, I don't know what she looks like now, and my own son who is not a weapon has also come. This group of people came to Nanyang, mostly because of his influence, hum!

"General, last general..." Cao Xing looked at Gao Shun. At this time, he wanted to go to Duyang with Gao Shun, but on Xinye's side, Jiang Dong did not say that the Jingzhou army might make a comeback at any time. This is also Gao Shunliu. The significance of dispatching three thousand soldiers and horses lies, but it seems that no one in the army is more suitable to stay in Xinye than himself, so Cao Xing is a little tangled.

"Remember, before the battle report here, no matter how easy it is to fight, don't leave the city lightly. Before I defeat Cao's army, Xinye will not lose, so it will be considered a complete victory!" Gao Shun looked at Cao Xing for a long time before sinking. sound.

"Here!" Cao Xing naturally knew that Xinye was at stake, so he nodded in agreement.

"I'll keep the crossbow with you. There are enough crossbow arrows in the treasury for 3,000 people and 30 boxes per person. If it's just to defend the city, it should be enough!" Gao Shun continued to exhort him looking at Cao Xing.

Although the continuous crossbow has been made long ago, the manufacturing speed is not very fast. In these years, Lu Bu has made a total of 20,000. Nanyang has 5,000, of which 1,000 are in the trap camp, and 1,000 are in Wancheng. The remaining three thousand are all here in Gao Shun.

Therefore, this continuous crossbow is not enough for all armies to equip it so far.

"The general should also bring some." Cao Xing was shocked, and kept the 3,000 crossbows for himself. Although Gao Shun would not be able to fight, it was definitely not as good as holding a crossbow.

"The crisis in Xinye still exists. I can't leave you with too many troops. I can only keep the crossbow for you, so that you can defend the city well, and Xinye cannot afford to lose!" Gao Shun said solemnly.

Xinye is now the junction of the Sun family, Liu Biao and Nanyang. It is the gateway to Nanyang, and it is also a strategic location that cannot be missed.

"Here!" Cao Xing knew that he had lost his temper before, which made Gao Shun a little disappointed in himself.

After explaining things in Xinye, Gao Shun immediately led his army to Duyang.

On the Duyang side, Cao Cao had just captured Duyang, but Ma Chao was allowed to run away. This is nothing, but on the third day of Ma Chao's departure, just as Cao Cao was preparing to drive straight in and capture Nanyang, Wei Yan, who was stationed in Biyang, came. .

Wei Yan doesn't have repeating crossbow soldiers here, but there are many others.

Eight thousand soldiers came overnight, but they did not attack Cao's army directly, but took advantage of the fact that Cao's army was preparing to send troops, and seized Juanxian, followed by Ye Cheng.

Before, Cao Cao dared to let his hand go in and attack Duyang because he had enough troops to besiege Juanxian. Even though Juanxian was still in Ma Chao's hands, Cao Cao's food route was open.

But now it's different. Almost all of Cao Cao's troops have gathered in Duyang. At this time, Wei Yan suddenly rushed out and took Juanxian and Yexian together, which is equivalent to directly cutting off Cao Cao's back path.

Moreover, Wei Yan was even more ruthless. The first thing he did after entering the city was to burn food, so that those Cao Cao troops who were defeated could see with their own eyes that they had burned all Cao Cao's food and grass, and then brought the news back.

This move will cost Cao Cao's life. If Wei Yan is just occupying the city, that's fine. If he takes the city back, Wei Yan has not only attacked the city, but also burned all the food and grass he hoarded in Juan and Yexian counties. , and also generously released the soldiers back, this kid is young, and his heart is very bad!

Wei Yan's knife hit Cao Cao seven inches in the middle. Although Duyang had a lot of food in storage, it was like a rootless puppy. Not to mention ordinary soldiers, Cao Cao was a little flustered. At this time, it was natural to return to fight Wei Yan.

But what's even worse is that Wancheng has already sent troops here.

Enemies on the belly and back!

Duyang, in Cao Cao's temporary camp, looking at the map, Cao Cao sighed.

It cannot be said that he did not consider the rear. Cao Cao left enough troops in Duyang and Yexian to maintain the food route, and it was not Wei Yan but Yuan Shu who was defending.

But who knew Yuan Shu didn't come, Wei Yan came.

"Who is Wei Yan?" Cao Cao couldn't understand why there were so many ruthless people under Lu Bu's command?

This is just Nanyang, not Lu Bu's home base yet, but first Ma Chao made him suffer a lot, and then Wei Yan, who directly punished himself. Na.

Cheng Yu shook his head, Ma Chao still had some roots to investigate. After all, he fought against Lu Bu and was subdued. His father Ma Teng was one of the former princes, but although Wei Yan was valued by Gao Shun and Ma Chao in Nanyang, But after all, following Ma Chao all the time, people only noticed Ma Chao, but ignored Wei Yan, who was no less capable than Ma Chao.

Cheng Yu felt that after returning home this time, he should have some understanding of the various armies under Lu Bu.

At this point in the battle, even if the two armies were resolved, Cao Cao would not be able to enter Nanyang again. He did not gain much in this battle, but he lost more than half of his troops, and even his most important Tiger and Leopard Cavalry. All were hit hard.

This battle has been fought so far, and there is no point in fighting it any longer, but it is somewhat unreasonable to leave in such a raging manner and leave with a dismal face.

"Everyone, how to break the situation, do you have a plan?" Cao Cao looked at the crowd and asked.

He wanted to leave, but he didn't want to bring it up himself.

It's a pity that everyone in the tent was fighting, but he couldn't figure out what they were thinking~www.readwn.com~ Cao Cao could only look at Cheng Yu.

Cheng Yu said knowingly: "Now our army has lost more than half of its troops and horses, and the morale of the army is low. However, the strength of the Nanyang defenders is far beyond our army's imagination. Yu thinks that at this time..."

Just when Cheng Yu was thinking about how to find a good excuse for Cao Cao to leave Nanyang, he saw someone hurried in and bowed to Cao Cao and said, "My lord!"

"What happened?" Cao Cao frowned and looked at the person who came.

"Yuzhou emergency report!" The soldier bowed and handed over a roll of bamboo paper.

"Yuzhou?" Cao Cao hurriedly took the bamboo slip and spread it out, his expression suddenly changed.

"My lord, what happened?" Cheng Yu asked quickly when he saw Cao Cao's complexion changing greatly and his heart sank.

"Yuan Shu not long ago ordered General Ji Ling to lead an army to Qiao County!" Cao Cao handed the bamboo slip to Cheng Yu, frowning, and said solemnly.

"Qiao County?" Cheng Yu's expression changed. Qiao County was already Cao Cao's territory. Yuan Shu came out of Ruyin. If he wanted to fight Nanyang, he should not go to Qiao County anyway.

Cheng Yu looked at Cao Cao: "My lord, this time we have to withdraw!"

The most worrying thing still happened, the princes who were not monolithic, eventually started to have internal problems, but I didn't expect Yuan Shu to be the first to have problems. that one!

Cao Cao nodded silently, looked at the generals and said, "Pass on my army order, don't worry about Wei Yan anymore, withdraw the army immediately, and leave the territory of Nanyang!"

"Here!"
