Chapter 819 Cao Cao's Withdrawal
Ten days later, Cao Cao's head was slightly better, and suddenly there were Pegasus from all over the country to report. Xia Houyuan, who was fighting in Bingzhou, sent someone to report.
"Report!! Xu Yuanzhi went to the northwest, and Gao Boyi was helped by him. General Xiahou was defeated in Bingzhou and lost soldiers and soldiers. He has returned to Jizhou!!!"
Cao Cao listened and stared at him with consterred. There are also detailed accounts and reports from Shu.
"Report!!! Zhang Guyi, the governor of Xichuan, was defeated by Zhao Zilong. He was defeated and defeated by Jinzhu. He has retreated to Anhan!!!"
Cao Cao was hit by thunder, staggered for a few steps and fell to the table. At this point, the three armies attacking the northwest, except for the troops led by Cao Cao, were all defeated by the northwest generals and retreated. Cao Cao gasped, and his anger attacked his heart. The pain in his head came to his head again. The pain made Cao Cao's facial features distorted, which seemed particularly ferocious.
The generals were worried. Guo Jia sighed secretly and was about to open her mouth. There are also Jingzhou detailed accounts to report.
"Report!!! Liu Jingsheng died in Jingzhou. With the assistance of Zhuge Kongming, Liu Xuande defeated Cai Degui's soldiers and horses. In the past few days, he captured Xiangyang, Wuling and Jiangxia counties with lightning speed. Later, Cai Dekui defected to Jiangdong, and the Sun family in Jiangdong rose up to save him, but he was still defeated by Liu Xuande. At this time, Liu Xuande was confronting Jiangdong's soldiers and horses in Jiangling, Nanjun!!!
Cao Cao listened and took a breath of cold air. At this time, the great trouble of the Northwest Wen family could not be eliminated, and Liu Xuande, who had always been afraid of Cao Cao, grew stronger. Cao Cao was unfavorable, and his anger was as if he were burning all over his body.
Cao Cao's face changed rapidly, and his face was black and red. The generals under the account did not dare to say anything, and there was a dead silence in the account. Suddenly, Cao Cao roared, blood sprayed in his mouth, arrow sores broke out, and his headache was about to crack. He fainted on the spot.
Cao Cao's condition was repeated, and the situation in the northwest was also unfavorable, and the people in the army were panicked. Xun Yu, who was stationed in Luoyang, heard about the northwest and sent people to report and advised him to retreat. He also said that there were many Han ministers in Luoyang who were ready to move and the situation was unstable. Guo Jia listened to the news, and his worries were even more, so he did not dare to report to Cao Cao for the time being.
A few days later, Cao Cao woke up from illness and wanted to be stationed in the tiger prison for a long time. He wanted to enter the army, but he was refused to defend by Guan Yu and could not make progress. The battles in Bingzhou and Dongchuan are at a disadvantage again. Cao Cao wanted to stop the war in the northwest, but he was afraid that he would be laughed at by the people of the world and lost his dignity. At this time, I was hesitant. Appropriate officials come to the chicken soup and make up for themselves with Cao Cao. Cao Cao didn't know the taste of food. He saw chicken ribs in the bowl, so he felt it. While meditating, Zhang Jian entered the account and asked for a night slogan. Cao Cao sighed and said casually.
"Chicken ribs! Chicken ribs!"
Zhang Ao didn't know why, but he thought that Cao Cao had a deep meaning and ordered all the generals to be called 'chicken ribs'. Yang Xiu, the main book of the march, saw the word "chicken ribs" and pondered for a while. Then he smiled and taught the commissioned sergeants. Each of them packed up and prepared to return to Luoyang. The soldier was puzzled, and someone reported Zhang's jaw. Zhang Jian was shocked, so he asked Yang Xiu to ask in the account.
"At present, the war is coming, and the prime minister has no instructions. Dezu taught the soldiers to pack up?"
Yang Xiu smiled brightly and then said.
"The general doesn't know anything. After listening to the order tonight, he will know that the Prime Minister will retreat from the army in a few days! The so-called chicken ribs are eaten without meat and tasteful when discarded. Today's war in the northwest is difficult. You can't win. If you retreat, you will laugh. For a long time, you will consume food, the army will be shaken, and you have to beware of Guan Yu's waving troops to fight. It's useless. It's better to return early. According to the expectation of the repair, the prime minister must be a teacher. Therefore, teach the soldiers to pack up first, so as not to panic.
Zhang Jian was shocked when he heard the words, and at the same time, he appreciated Yang Xiu's courage. It can be seen that everyone knows the importance of Cao Cao's suspicion. Except for Guo Jia, no one dares to speculate on Cao Cao's intention, lest it will cause Cao Cao Cao's fear.
Zhang Jian thought for a while, his face condensed, and suddenly persuaded Yang Xiu.
"Dezu is really the confidant of the Prime Minister! However, the Prime Minister is a god in the world. If he knows what you mean and doesn't know his joy and anger, Dezu should restrain himself a little.
When Yang Xiu heard this, he suddenly woke up, broke out in a cold sweat, and hurriedly bowed to Zhang Jaw.
"The general's words are extremely good, and the cultivation has only awakened. After going back, I immediately taught today's decree that the soldiers should be forbidden to talk about this matter.
Yang Xiu is smart and can communicate at one point. Zhang Jian nodded slightly and said to Yang Xiu.
"I hope Dezu can't blame Zhang for a lot of trouble. Zhang once heard of Dezu's deeds in the past. Although it was wonderful, it was not praised by the Prime Minister, so he had this advice.
After listening to Yang Xiu, he immediately remembered the past in his mind. It turned out that Yang Xiu was unruly, indulged, and acted without scruples. He once violated the taboo of Cao Cao.
At that time, Cao Cao had just defeated Yuan Shao and dominated the world. He had seen the garden in Yuan Shao's mansion, which was extremely large and magnificent, and beautiful in the backyard of the palace. Cao Cao disliked the absence of momentum in the prime minister's garden and ordered someone to transform one garden. Created by the garden, Cao Cao looked at it without praise or criticism. Garden officials, please ask Cao Cao to nominate. Cao Cao took the pen and went there with the word 'living' on the door. Everyone doesn't know what it means. Later, Yang Xiu learned about it and said to everyone with a smile.
"The Prime Minister's achievements are boundless, and the new defeat of Yuan Shao is the top of the world. Xiuwen Prime Minister saw it in Yuan Shaofuyuan in Jizhou, and once sighed about its grandeur. Today, the Prime Minister added movable characters to the door, which is also a wide character. The Prime Minister must think that this garden is not gorgeous and spacious, and it has lost its dignity. After listening to this, everyone just woke up, so they built a wall, built a lot of wood, entered the precious jade flowers and plants, transformed and stopped, expanded the garden by three feet, and invited Cao Cao to watch it. Cao Cao was overjoyed and asked everyone.
"Who does it mean to expand the garden?"
I will tell Yang Xiu's words one by one. Although Cao Cao praised it, he was annoyed that Yang Xiu's words were lost. When he said this, if he was learned about by the ministers in the court, there would be a lot of arguments. Yang Xiu didn't know what was missing. Later, another day, Saibei sent a box of crisps. When Cao Cao saw the people of Saibei, he dared to offer only one box of shortbread. He was angry, but he didn't want to have a seizure. He wrote the word "one in combination" on the box and put it on the table. When Yang Xiu entered the case and saw it, he actually took the key and ate it with the crowd. Everyone didn't dare, but Yang Xiu laughed.
"You don't need to be more careful. This is the Prime Minister's intention. This alien in the north of Serbia, who did not know the prestige of the Prime Minister, actually offered such a small gift, which was really a disgrace to the Prime Minister. The Prime Minister didn't mean to take it, so he let me share the food.
After listening to this, everyone was at ease and took the crispy food one after another. Later, Cao Cao was very surprised when he learned about it. He asked Yang Xiu how he saw his heart, and Yang Xiu replied.
"The Prime Minister doesn't like it, so he is writing the three words "one-in-one crisp". Looking at the words, it is one person's mouthful of crisp. I can see it from the past."
Although Cao Cao laughed when he heard the words, he was even more disgusted with Yang Xiu's clever behavior.
Besides, Cao Cao took Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty hostage. He was the prime minister and had power over the government and the opposition. Many of them were indignant and loyal to the Han Dynasty and assassinated Cao Cao. Cao Cao was heavily guarded, and none of the assassins had a chance. Cao Cao was afraid that people would secretly murder himself, and he often paid left and right.
"I have a strange disease. I sleep in my dreams and often kill people with swords. Whenever I fall asleep, don't come near me, or I will kill you!!!" One day, when Cao Cao was sleeping in the tent, he suddenly turned over and fell to the ground. He was covered in a panic. Cao Cao heard the movement and was shocked. He jumped up and drew his sword and beheaded. After killing, he woke up. The soldiers outside the tent heard the movement and came to visit in a hurry. When they saw Cao Cao kill, they were all shocked. But Cao Cao still pretended not to know and went back to bed. After a long time, he got up and suddenly shouted that the soldiers outside the tent came in and asked in surprise.
"Who killed my servant?"
Tell the truth. Cao Cao pretended to be in pain and ordered people to bury him. So far, everyone thinks that Cao Cao has a strange disease and will kill people in his dreams. Yang Xiu, who was clear about Cao Cao's intention, was annoyed that he killed innocent people indiscriminately. When he was buried, he pointed to the corpse of the attendant and sighed.
"You think the Prime Minister is in a dream, but he is not in the dream. It's really your ear!"
Everyone didn't know what Yang Xiu was referring to. They told Cao Cao. After listening to it, Cao Cao didn't know whether Yang Xiu was so good or bad, and couldn't help but have a murderous intention.
Yang Xiu recalled the past and knew that he had already offended Cao Cao and did not dare to make it again. He replied that the soldiers were forbidden to talk about today's affairs. The soldiers were suspicious and talked about it in the account.
Let's say that Cao was worried that night, couldn't sleep steadily, and went around the village. Suddenly, Cao Cao was shocked when he heard the soldiers discussing things in the tent. After listening carefully, he hurriedly entered the account to ask the soldiers. Everyone did not dare to deceive and immediately told them one by one. Cao Cao was so angry that he returned the account and ordered someone to call Yang Xiu to ask. Yang Xiu was so scared that he trembled when he heard Cao Cao's call. He urgently ordered Zhang Jian and Guo Jia to come to save him. Then he dressed up and came to see Cao Cao quickly.
Yang Xiu entered the account, bowed and saluted, and then listened to Cao Cao's fierce voice.
"Yang Dezu, you have really learned from others. Unexpectedly, I guess I will withdraw my troops!! Let's talk about it, how can you guess!!?"
Hearing what Yang Xiu said, he quickly knelt down and said obediently.
"The Prime Minister forgives his sins and can't cultivate ordinary people, but the Prime Minister is the god of the world. How can mortals figure out the divine will? I can't listen to the Prime Minister's order tonight. I think about it carefully and have a little fallacy. If there is a mistake, I hope the Prime Minister will calm his anger.
Cao Cao narrowed his eyes in a moment, and his eyes were full of murderous light. If it hadn't been for Yang Xiu's talent, intelligence, and loyal minister, Cao Cao Xu had ordered him to be executed earlier.
At present, Yang Xiu was quite restrained, and Cao Cao's anger gradually faded and said coldly.
"Do you know your fallacy? The Prime Minister can use this to treat you for the crime of disturbing the heart of the army!!?"
Yang Xiu was so scared that he turned pale on the spot. He cried and knelt down and begged Cao Cao for forgiveness. Cao Cao was thinking about it, and Guo Jia and Zhang Jai were asking for a meeting outside the account. Cao Cao listened to the news and called the two to see each other. Guo Jia and Zhang Jie finished the ceremony, and Guo Jia said first.
"Yang Dezu committed the following offense, speculing the meaning of the prime minister, offending Zun Wei, it is not a pity to die. However, the current situation is unstable. If this person is executed at this time, it will be said to be harmful to our army. The prime minister forgives his sins, looks at his performance, and will be punished in the future.
When Cao Cao heard the words, he had no intention of killing Yang Xiu, but he deliberately suppressed his edge, so he drank in anger.
"No!! This son doesn't know the general idea, and he is arrogant and graced. How can I lead all the officials in the court!?
"The Prime Minister is furious. Although Yang Dezu is proud, he has some knowledge and strategy, all of which are excellent. And he is sincere to the Prime Minister. Why don't the Prime Minister keep it and use it for it!?
