Chapter 820 Cao Cao's Withdrawal
As soon as Cao Cao finished speaking, Zhang Jian also came to persuade him. At this time, Yang Xiu knew that Cao Cao was going to shock his power, so he pretended to cry and said all about his sins. Cao Cao saw that he cried for real and thought that he would be restrained in the future, so he only fined him heavily, demoted his military position, and took away his salary for three years to set an example. Yang Xiu thanked him and retreated. Fortunately, he escaped and died. At this point, he cultivated his mind, restrained his arrogance, and did not dare to indulge any more.
Yang Xiu retreated, and Cao Cao sighed in the tent and said with Guo Jia and Zhang Ja.
"Although Yang Xiu is indulgent, he does what I mean. At present, the battle situation in all parts of the northwest is at a disadvantage. Our army has been fighting for nearly half a year, and it has taken time to prepare for the war. It has been a year since Wen was seriously injured. I heard that it was Hua Yuanhua and Zhang Zhongjing who treated Wen Bfan. Their medical skills were extraordinary. At this time, Wen Buffian's injury must have stabilized and will soon heal. At that time, the northwest army's heart was shocked, and the counterattack must be as strong as a storm.
Moreover, at present, Liu Xuande can break through the Cai family in Jingzhou and resist Sun Lang in Jiangdong. The rapid rise of his momentum is really amazing!! In this way, it can be seen that the wisdom of Zhuge Kongming is indeed as high as Jiang Ziya and Zhang Zifang. If you ignore it, there will be endless troubles in the future.
Therefore, I intend to stop the battle in the northwest first, take advantage of the chaos in Jingzhou, rush to get rid of Liu Xuande, occupy Jingzhou, and then plan to do big things. I don't know what you think?
Zhang Qian listened to Cao Cao's detailed analysis. After meditating for a while, he arched his hand and reported.
"The Prime Minister sees through the situation and sees which is less important. He is not strong because of the qi of the moment, and he is respectful!!!"
Cao Cao listened to Zhang Jian's approval and nodded slightly, so he looked at Guo Jia again. Guo Jia was silent. When Cao Cao's eyes turned, Guo Jia sighed.
"If you withdraw and retreat, you are really unwilling. But what the Prime Minister is worried about is indeed the most important thing in front of him. Moreover, Wen Ruo previously issued a book saying that due to the defeat in the northwest war in recent years, Cao Cao was injured and fell into a coma before. There are many unstable factors in the court. The prime minister still needs to return to the court as soon as possible to stabilize the situation!!"
After Cao Cao listened, his swallowing eyes stared loudly and shouted harshly.
"This group of useless old thieves dare to take advantage of the situation to make trouble. When my class returns to the court, it is better to teach them to die than to live!!!"
Cao Cao was furious. He asked that Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty had been benevolent and righteous. Cao Cao gave all the dignity that the emperor should have. However, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty repeatedly plotted to overthrow his regime in the dark. However, if it were not for Cao Cao, the famous Han prime minister, he would sit in the Han Dynasty. This so-called Han world has long been subverted among the princes everywhere. Cao Cao fought everywhere to destroy the rebellious ministers and recapture the land of the Han Dynasty for the imperial court. With his prosperity, he was able to abolish the emperor and ascend to the throne of the throne of the emperor.
Although Cao Cao was accused of being the hero of the world by the world, who knew that Cao Cao was extremely loyal to the Han Dynasty. If Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty had the ability to stabilize the situation in the world, Cao Cao did not say a word and voluntarily returned it to the community. But the fact is that Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty is weak and incompetent, and his ministers are all sanctimonious. If he is allowed to control the social weapon, Cao Cao spent half of his life's painstaking efforts. In less than three years, he will definitely be destroyed!!
With the passage of time, Cao Cao's momentum is getting stronger and stronger, capturing Xuzhou, defeating Yuan Shu, defeating Yuan Shao, and embracing half of the country. Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty was extremely afraid of Cao Cao. He was afraid that Cao Cao would kill him and seize the throne all day long. As Cao Cao became more and more powerful, many of his advisers persuaded him to ascend the throne. At the beginning, Cao Cao scolded him severely. Over time, he saw that Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty had no great ambition and did not have the ability to lead the world. He thought that the people of the world suffered from troubled times and were in the fire of war all day long. He had survived for a long time, and gradually had the intention to replace it.
Emperor Xian of Han found that Cao Cao had gradually changed, and he did not want to sit back and wait for death. He secretly united with some bureaucrats in the DPRK. However, in the imperial court, no matter how big or small officials, there are Cao Cao's eyes in his house. How could Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty hide Cao from his secret actions? Although Cao Cao was angry, he still did not want to delve into it and indulged it.
At present, Cao Cao never thought that his connivance to Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty would have consequences at this time. Cao Cao couldn't stand it anymore. That is, he made up his mind to return to the court and want to wash some potential harms of the court!
That night, Cao Cao discussed with Guo Jia and Zhang Ji about the appropriate withdrawal of the military, and the plan was made, so he ordered the generals to make preparations as soon as possible.
The next day, Cao Cao suddenly ordered Xu Chu to lead an elite soldier to fight in the tiger prison. He also ordered Zhang Ya and Li Dian to set up an ambush on the hillside five miles away from the village. Xu Chu led the army and just left the camp. At the same time, Cao Cao and Yu Forbidden and other generals led most of the people to protect the grain and grass, as well as siege equipment and other materials to withdraw from the camp, hoping to Luoyang and retreat.
However, it is said that Xu Chu led his troops to kill the tiger prison with great momentum, and Guan Yu, who had been waiting for the Northwest Army to report. Cao Jun hasn't moved for many days. Xu Chu suddenly came to kill him, and his intention was unknown. Guan Yu urgently set up an army under Guan and prepared to fight. Xu Chu led the army to rush, and also set up a formation, two rounds. Xu Chu rushed out of the horse and shouted at Guan Yu to fight. Guan Yu's injury had never recovered. Zhang Liao was afraid that he would be injured and rushed out first. He mentioned the Fang Tianhua halberd, and the horse soared and shouted loudly.
"Cao's sick tiger can't be presumptuous!! What kind of person is my Guan Gong? How can you offend him!!?"
Xu Chu was furious when he heard this, and his muscles soared all over his body. The tiger's eyes burst into a terrible and fierce light, that is, he rode a horse with a knife to kill Zhang Liao. Zhang Liao flew fast and flew close to Xu Chu. He picked up the halberd like a silver electric, sweeping at Xu Chu. Xu Chu struggled to swaving a tiger's tooth knife and split it with a knife.
A loud bang made the faces of the sergeants on both sides look moved. Zhang Liao hurried back to Fang Tianhua halberd, waved the halberd fiercely, Xu Chu picked up a knife and blocked it, and killed Zhang Liao for more than a dozen rounds. Zhang Liao's sword's eyes burst into a murderous spirit, and Fang Tian's painting halberd was like gathering blood all over the sky. The halberd style suddenly changed, applying the bleeding Yan Ba Huang halberd method.
Fang Tian's painting halberd suddenly moved, swallowing all directions and dominating on all sides. Xu Chu's face changed repeatedly, and the knife style gradually became messy. Zhang Liao took advantage of the situation to attack and killed Xu Chu for more than a dozen rounds. Xu Chu, who was killed by Zhang Liao. Zhang Liao chased after him, and Guan Yu was overjoyed and ordered the army to cover up. Xu Chu Chili fled back to the array. When the crossbowman in the array saw Zhang Liao killing, he was ready to shoot with arrows. Zhang Liao hurriedly pulled the halberd to resist. When he came to his senses, Xu Chu had led the rear of his troops to evacuate. Zhang Liao chased him quickly, and Guan Yu led the army to catch up, waiting to chase for five or six miles. Guan Yu didn't see most of the Cao army to help for a long time. He suspected that there was fraud in his heart, so he ordered most of the soldiers and horses to slow down, beware of ambush, and urgently sent people to order Zhang Liao to lead a fast horse to explore first. Zhang Liao ordered a man and a horse, and slowly chased Xu Chu. All the way, he chased Xu Chu to Cao's village.
Zhang Liao looked from afar, the vast Cao military camp, empty and silent, falsely inserted banners, and his face suddenly changed, and he urgently sent people to repay Guan Yu. Guan Yu learned that he suddenly realized that Cao's army must have retreated because of the unfavorable situation of the war. Xu Chu's troops came to Hulao guan to plunder the battle, but it was just a cover for Cao's retreat.
Guan Yu must be eager for the army to press down and pursue immediately. At this time, Xu Huang, who was in the array, persuaded.
"Second brother, wait a minute. Cao Cao used his troops like a god. If he had the intention to withdraw from the army, he would not prepare early. If we chase rashly, we will be ambushed, and we need to be cautious!!"
Guan Yu suffered a setback earlier. Xu Huang's reminder was immediately cautious, and sent someone to return Zhang Liaojin's detailed ins. Zhang Liao got the order, so he continued to chase and kill Xu Chu, and at the same time, he also paid attention to the surrounding terrain.
When he was young, Zhang Liao chased to a hillside. Xu Chu suddenly made the soldiers accelerate. Zhang Liao saw that Xu Chu was about to go away, but there was no impatient pursuit. His sword eyes condensed glory. Seeing that there were many dangerous places on the hillside, it was suspected that there was an ambush. Zhang Liao quickly sent people back to report, and the whole army waited in front of the hillside.
Zhang Jian, who was ambushed on the hillside, saw Zhang Liao's department and suddenly stopped. In an instant, he expected that he must see the army's ambush. He was afraid that most of the northwest soldiers and horses behind his report made a straight decision and shocked the whole army. Zhang Jian suddenly led a soldier and horse out of the left side of the hillside. Zhang Liao heard the shout of killing on the left side. Seeing that there was an ambush, he quickly shook his spirits and commanded the soldiers to prepare to attack.
Zhang's jaws and horses were shot. Zhang Liao just met him, and there was another gunfire on the right. Li Dian waved his army and killed him. The two Cao troops fought together. Zhang Liao's troops were very small and he couldn't resist it. He led hundreds of light riders to flee. Zhang Qian and Li Dian did not dare to fight, and they also led their respective deployments and quickly withdrew.
When Zhang Liao rushed to Guan Yu's large part of the army and the army came, Cao's soldiers had already escaped ten miles away. Guan Yu Danfeng's eyes emitted a terrible cold light. He paused in place for a while, looked in the direction of Luoyang, and muttered.
"One day, Cao Mengde, our northwest army will kill Luoyang, overthrow the Central Plains, help my third brother extraordinary, and achieve a hegemonic career!"
After Guan Yu finished speaking, he turned around and ordered the troops to withdraw to the tiger prison. When Guan Yu returned to the Hu prison, at the same time, Xilong had received good news from Bingzhou and Dongchuan, knowing that Gao Shun and Zhao Yun defeated the enemy.
Xilong led the generals in Guan to meet Guan Yu. After salute, Xilong said first.
"If Ruolong guessed, Cao Cao must withdraw at this time. I don't know if that's the case?"
Guan Yu was slightly shocked and sighed.
"The military master didn't expect the prophet, and he was really a god!"
"No, Long expected this matter because of the good news sent by the two generals Gao and Zhao from Bingzhou and Dongchuan."
Xilong smiled modestly, so he took out two war reports and handed them to Guan Yu. Guan Yu was overjoyed, so he took the war report and took it apart in a hurry. After reading it, he was overjoyed and laughed.
Here, with the concerted efforts of the generals and advisers in the northwest and planning to fight, the northwest wars in Bingzhou, Hanoi and Dongchuan finally came to an end. Cao Cao lost nearly 80,000 troops, but he could not take half an inch of land in the northwest and returned to Luoyang. This matter spread one after another, and people in the world were shocked and shocked. Only then did they know that the reason why the northwest has today's prosperity is not only the power of the extraordinary person who is known as the champion Hou Zai, but on a group of outstanding talents under his command.
Cao Cao withdrew his army and returned to Luoyang, so he asked the generals and soldiers to wear their clothes and return home in mourning. When Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty heard the return of Cao Cao, he was so scared that he panicked and taught the Taoist side. In an emergency, he led hundreds of officials from the court out of the city to meet him to show the heart of the emperor to respect Cao. Emperor Xian of Han heard that it was reasonable, so he drove out Guo to greet him.
At the right time, it is the cold winter and the weather is freezing. Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty and the hundred officials of the imperial court waited for a long time, but they still did not see Cao Cao's army. The bureaucrats around trembled with cold and cried secretly. Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty was even more chilly, but his face did not change. He was waiting bitterly. The officials advised Emperor Xian of Han to go back to the palace and wait.
In an in anusual moment, countless bureaucrats who secretly defected to the Cao family looked over secretly. Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty scolded angrily and scolded angrily.
"Presumptuous!!! The Prime Minister is the important minister of the country. For my great Han Dynasty, he did not hesitate to fight on the front line. As the son of heaven, I can't share joys and sorrows with Cao Aiqing and kill with blood. It's only a little cold today. How can I be afraid like a tiger? If Cao Aiqing knew about it, won't it chill his heart!!!"
After Emperor Xian of Han finished drinking, no one dared to persuade him. Those Cao bureaucrats couldn't stop sneering secretly.
When he was young, the wailing came, and the sound of crying shook the sky and the earth. A Cao Jun, who was dressed in white, lined up neatly. When the officials of the court heard the wailing, their faces changed dramatically. It can be seen that earlier, Cao Cao was shot by Xu Huang and was seriously injured. They all thought, is it possible that Cao Cao has been lost!!?
Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty was overjoyed. Thinking that the traitor would eventually be killed by heaven, he couldn't help but burst into tears. At this time, Xiahou Dun stared at Emperor Xian of Han. Emperor Xian of Han was so scared that he suddenly broke his heart and suddenly lost his voice and howled.
"God is unfair!!! Do you know which hero sacrificed for the hero of the country!!!?"
Uncle Dong Cheng quickly stood aside and shouted left and right.
"Quick exploration!!!"
Listen to it left and right, and ride a fast horse. Then came a terrible silence, and the city of Luoyang was silent. I don't know how long it took, Dian Wei's face was extremely cold, and he personally led a fine horse to report.
"The Prime Minister's merits and virtues are boundless. A few days ago, the world was shining together, the heaven and earth changed color, ten thousand birds flew together, and dragons and phoenixes sang together. There is an immortal in the sky. Please honor the Prime Minister to return to the throne! The prime minister received the fate of heaven and was afraid of the disaster of the country, so he suffered and ascended to heaven! Leave a pair of dignity and be worshipped by the people of the world!"
Dian Wei was Cao's confidant. At this time, he came to report the funeral in person. Suddenly, all the officials in the court, including Emperor Xian of Han, believed it. Hundreds of officials changed color one after another, bereavement and joy, but they cried bitterly together. In particular, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty cried and fell to the ground. He was in pain, and the officials couldn't stop persuading. I only heard Emperor Xian of Han staring at the sky angrily and scolding and drinking.
"There is no way in heaven!!!! This is a disaster in the world. The country does not control the country. Fortunately, I was assisted by Cao Aiqing to calm down the chaos in Kyushu. Seeing that the world is about to be unified, why do you forcibly seize the pillars of my country!! This is actually the misfortune of the country and the misfortune of the people in the world!!!"
