Chapter 151

On the official road, an army is on its way.

On the flag of the army, there is a huge character of Cao embroidered. With the spring breeze blowing, the big flag flutters with the wind and makes a sound in the air.

This is Cao Cao's army.

At this moment, Cao Jun has entered the territory of Luyang County, to Lushan County.

Cao Cao followed the army and was in the middle of the army. He didn't ride a horse, he drove by car. Today, Cao Cao is only Sikong in the Han Dynasty, not the prime minister, nor the king of Wei. There is no overstepping. He is only driven by two horses.

In the carriage, Cao Cao closed his eyes.

It's the pattern he's used to.

In the carriage, you can carefully deduce the next step of the army.

"Newspaper!"

Suddenly, a sentry on the official road called out.

With the shouts of the sentry, the soldiers avoided the sentry along the way and let the sentry gallop back quickly. The sentry ran all the way and soon came to XiaHouYuan and reported the news he had just received.

In the army, Xia Houyuan is the chief General.

All the news must go through XiaHouYuan before reporting to Cao Cao.

At the moment, when Xia Houyuan heard the news, his face became dignified. He immediately arranged for him, then turned his horse around and quickly came to Cao Cao's car.

Seeing Cao Cao, Xia Houyuan said: "Lord, just received the news from the sentinel, young master ang was ambushed and the army was defeated."

Cao Cao suddenly became nervous and said, "what's the matter?"

Xia Houyuan said in detail: "the sentinel said that young master ang and Cao Anmin led their troops across the front bridge, and then they were ambushed by Zhang Xiu's army and suffered heavy losses. Now, young master ang is on his way back. At the end of the day, the general dispatched his soldiers to meet him. Only when young master ang returns to the army can he know the details. "

Brush!

Cao Cao's face became gloomy.

Lost!

It's so brilliant.

In Cao Cao's mind, he did not pay much attention to Zhang Xiu, even though Zhang Xiu defeated the Huns and made great contributions. But now, his son is defeated by Zhang Xiu.

Cao Cao waved his hand and said nothing.

For now, we have to wait for news.

Guo Jia did not get detailed information, and now he can only wait for Cao ang to come back to consider the situation.

Time goes by.

Near Shenshi in the afternoon, Xia Houzhong, with ten tigers and leopards, escorted Cao ang back.

Cao ang looked sad and depressed. He came to Cao Cao and with a plop, he knelt down on the ground and pleaded guilty: "the three thousand pioneers led by his son have been destroyed. Including Anmin, he was trapped in the rear because he cut off the rear for me. If the son is guilty, ask the father to punish him. "

Cao Cao looked around ten soldiers on horseback, with sharp eyes and sharp eyebrows.

Instead of asking Cao ang about the specific situation of the war, he looked at Xia Houzhong and said in a deep voice, "Xia Houzhong, tell me about the specific situation at that time?"

Xia Houzhong is extremely loyal to Cao Cao.

He can't lie.

In the face of Cao Cao's inquiry, Xia Houzhong said: "report back to Sikong, we will go to Lushan after crossing the bridge. On the way, he was ambushed by Zhang Xiu's army. "

"At that time, we gained an advantage at the beginning of the fighting, but soon after the fighting, a cavalry suddenly entered the rear."

"We were caught in the crossfire before we were defeated."

"In order to protect young master Ang's safe retreat, Cao Anmin personally ordered ten people to escort young master ang to retreat first."

"When we retreated to Lianqiao, Mr. ang didn't want to cut off Lianqiao. In order to block the pursuit from the rear, he cut off Lianqiao. As a result, Cao Anmin fell into a dead end. Please punish him. "

Xia Houzhong described the situation truthfully.

At the moment, he was also kneeling on the ground with a look of grief.

He was also very sad that three thousand of his colleagues had fallen into the cave. He didn't want to see this happen.

Cao ang took a deep breath and continued: "it's all because of my son's failure. If it had not been for the son's rival, he would not have been ambushed, and such a situation would not have occurred. In this war, my son didn't find the ambush in time. "

After hearing this, Cao Cao had a gloomy face.

He stared at Cao ang and said, "you did make a mistake, but your mistake is not that you didn't find the ambush in time. As a striker, it's very normal to encounter ambush

"Even if sentries are arranged, ambushes may not be found."

"Your mistake is to March too fast."

"So much so that we can get away from the army. If you are within ten miles of the army. As soon as you come across a situation, I can send troops to help you at any time, so that you will not be left alone. "

"It's a big mistake you've made."

Cao Cao carefully analyzed for Cao ang.

In fact, Cao Cao also blamed himself. After Cao ang led his troops at full speed and got away from the army for a certain distance, he wanted to send someone to remind Cao ang. But at that time, he thought that Cao ang was a Veteran General in the army and would be careful.Cao Cao also considered that Zhang Xiu was no better than that. He would certainly defend in the front line of Lushan and would not send troops to attack.

I didn't expect it to lead to disaster.

Cao ang said: "father, my son is greedy and reckless, and he is punished. There is nothing to say. But Anmin is trapped in the enemy camp. I'm afraid that his life is in danger. Please ask my father to rescue Anmin. "

Cao ang and Cao Anmin are close friends.

The relationship between the two is excellent.

Now in order to protect him, Cao Anmin is in trouble after his death. He must blame himself.

Cao Cao said, "even if you don't say it, I will arrange it."

Cao ang was silent.

As soon as he thought that Cao Anmin might die after he left, he was extremely anxious.

Cao Cao knows the character of Cao Anmin.

His son, warm and mellow, also knows how to use the military, but in his temperament, he is a little less ruthless, a little less ruthless.

This is the result of Cao Ang's childhood.

He was not exposed to too much harsh environment, so he was mellow.

As soon as Cao Cao's words changed, he continued: "Anmin has been in trouble. Now you continue to blame yourself, it will not help. What you have to do now is to cheer up and adjust your state so that you can attack Zhang Xiu and save Anmin. It's not a man's behavior to be down in the dumps. It's not my son of Cao Cao. "

"My father taught me."

Cao ang said: "please rest assured father, son will avenge for Anmin, more will be a snow before shame."

"Go down!"

Cao Cao waved his hand.

Cao ang retreated, and all the tiger and leopard riders headed by Xia Houzhong returned to the army.

Xia Houyuan stood aside, looking serious and solemnly said: "Lord, Zhang Xiu is really hard to deal with. The two sides haven't started a war, so they gave us a slap in the face. "

Cao Cao said: "this war has just begun. We still have opportunities. But I can't belittle Zhang Xiu. It's a wake-up call for us about Cao ang. "

Xia Houyuan said: "my Lord is wise!"

But Cao Cao shook his head and didn't think he was wise. On the contrary, his face was full of dignity, but his expression was more profound.

It doesn't bode well for the first battle.

Guo Jia followed Cao Cao and suggested, "Lord, there is one more thing to do now. When Xia Houzhong retreated with young master ang, he cut off the bridge. If the army wants to cross the bridge, it will be a bit of trouble. "

Cao Cao said, "what's the suggestion for fengxiao?"

Guo Jia said: "please arrange a team of auxiliary soldiers to go to the bridge first and build it up. It's not easy to build a bridge, but it's much easier than collecting boats. After all, the bridge body of the bridge is still there. As long as it is salvaged, it may still be used. "

"It's true," Cao Cao said

He looked at XiaHouYuan and said, "miaocai, you can arrange it. In addition, he ordered to speed up. We arrived in Lushan one day earlier and attacked Zhang Xiu one day earlier. Now, we can't delay any longer. "

"Here it is

XiaHouYuan got the order and went to arrange it immediately.

Cao Cao looked at Guo Jia again and said, "fengxiao, when Zi ang was ambushed, I think Zhang Xiu is not simple. She is a man who knows the art of war very well. Under such circumstances, when we crossed the river, did you say that Zhang Xiu would ambush the troops who had just crossed the river? "

When Guo Jia heard Cao Cao's words, he pondered and said, "the army has just crossed the river, and there are not many troops. Under such circumstances, the Shahe River is a natural moat, making it difficult for us to help. My Lord is worried that there is a great possibility for Zhang Xiu to ambush. "

Cao Cao said: "how to crack it?"

Guo Jia gently smiles and confidently says: "in fact, it's not difficult. Even if Zhang Xiu arranges troops nearby, the troops we cross the river first are mainly defensive soldiers. After the soldiers crossed the river, they immediately lined up to defend and set up fortifications. It's not easy for Zhang Xiu to cross the river in such an orderly way, even if she wants to ambush her. "

Cao Cao nodded his head and said, "that's it."

They agreed to go with the army to the direction of Lianqiao.
