Chapter 156

Dianwei was waiting on the South Bank of the bridge while he was reorganizing the soldiers. After a short time, Cao Cao, Xia Houyuan and others crossed the Shahe River to the South Bank of the bridge.

Cao Cao looked at the corpse on the ground and the dark purple ground stained with blood. His face was solemn.

This time, not only did some soldiers fall into the water because of the impact of the flood, but also countless soldiers were slaughtered by Zhang Xiu's soldiers. His loss was not small.

Cao Cao made an inspection tour and did not speak.

About two quarters of an hour later, Xia Houyuan came to Cao Cao's side and reported: "Lord, I have counted the losses on the battlefield. In this war, we lost more than 1500 soldiers. Among them, 1268 died in the previous fighting. There are more than 200 people who have fallen into the Shahe River, and so far no one has been found. "

Cao Cao's eyes were cold.

The loss of this war is a little big.

It was just a short battle time, and the loss under his command reached more than 1000 people, which shows the combat effectiveness of Zhang Xiu's army.

Cao Cao looked at Dian Wei and said, "Dian Wei, you should know Zhang Xiu's martial arts if you fight with her close to each other. How about his martial arts? "

Dian Wei raised his head and confidently said, "I'll tell you, my Lord, the martial arts of the last general is a little better than Zhang Xiu. If you give me enough time, I can beat Zhang Xiu. But if we want to kill Zhang Xiu in a short time, we can't finish it. "

Dian Wei also admired Zhang Xiu.

The other side is very good at martial arts.

Cao Cao's listening to Dian Wei's reply was even more heartless. A cunning Zhang Xiu, a martial arts strong Zhang Xiu, the two superimposed together, it is very difficult.

Guo Jia stood aside and said in a deep voice, "Lord, I found a problem in my humble position."

Cao Cao said, "what's the problem?"

Guo Jiaming's bright eyes sparkled with wisdom and said: "when we entered Nanyang County, Zhang Xiu's strategy was not to fight with us on a large scale, but to fight on a small scale all the time."

"The last time I attacked young master ang, it was like this."

"This time, too."

"If Zhang Xiu wants to have a decisive battle with us on a large scale, when we cross the river, he can do his best to block the river bank and fight with us to the death."

"But he only brought some soldiers. After our army crossed the Shahe, he withdrew

Guo Jia said: "Zhang Xiu's intention is to block and weaken our strength. It is estimated that the final decisive battle place for Zhang Xiu is in the front line of Lushan. "

Cao Cao is also a wise man.

With a little thought, he understood Zhang Xiu's intention and agreed with Guo Jia's analysis.

Cao Cao said in a deep voice: "even if we have lost some troops, our strength is still stronger than Zhang Xiu. Besides, there are plans made by fengxiao. We cross the river sand, and then proceed carefully to avoid being ambushed by Zhang Xiu. "

He has no way to harass Zhang Xiu.

Because this is not the terrain Cao Cao is familiar with, he is in Luyang County, unable to mobilize the people, unable to understand the detailed terrain.

In Yanzhou, Cao Cao had many ways.

But this is Luyang county.

With a solemn look on his face, Cao Cao ordered: "XiaHouYuan, reorganize the army and prepare to set out. You arrange a small team of soldiers to stay at the bridge and be responsible for guarding the bridge. This is an extremely important place, and it can no longer be destroyed and occupied by Zhang Xiu's people. "

"Here it is

Xia Houyuan responded directly.

He made arrangements immediately, and then led the army on his way.

……

On the other side, Zhang Xiu and Chen Dao led the troops to retreat.

They retreated a certain distance away from the bridge before stopping to rest and count the losses.

After counting, Chen Dao came to Zhang Xiu and reported: "Lord, eight of our cavalry and more than 400 of our infantry were killed in this battle. On the whole, we still had the advantage and killed a lot of Cao's soldiers. At that time, it was estimated that Cao's death and injury should be more than 1000 people. "

Zhang xiudao: "it's about this number!"

Zhang Xiu was barely satisfied with the results of the war. After all, she killed more than 1000 Cao soldiers.

It's just that Cao's army is elite and hard to deal with.

When the army stopped, Ganning returned from the upstream with his soldiers. He came to Zhang Xiu's side, looked at her and asked, "Lord, what's the situation of this war?"

Zhang Xiu said the situation immediately.

When Gan Ning heard this, he was not reconciled and said, "only the loss of more than 1000 people means that Cao Cao did not mobilize large-scale ships to cross the river, but crossed the river by connecting bridges?"

Once the boat crossed the river, under the flood, there must be countless Cao soldiers died.

Unfortunately, there is no such number.

Zhang Xiu nodded and replied: "Cao Cao is not easy, and the counselors around him are not wine bags. It's good that we can fight against Cao Cao and win to a certain extent. "Gan Ning also nodded yes.

Think about it, Cao Cao is a man who gives orders to the princes. It's very good that he can defeat Cao Cao.

"Withdraw!"

Zhang Xiu gave the order.

Cao Jun has passed the Shahe, Zhang Xiu does not intend to continue the ambush. Because the continuous ambush has made Cao Cao alert, at this time, the effect of continuous ambush is not very useful, it is better to withdraw directly to the front line of Lushan and defend with the help of the terrain of Lushan.

When Zhang Xiu retreated, Cao Jun was approaching step by step.

Zhang Xiu returned to Lushan barracks.

Jia Xu came to the big account of the Chinese army and asked Zhang Xiu about the details of the fighting.

Knowing the result, Jia Xu was also quite satisfied.

Zhang Xiu did not send any more troops, waiting quietly in Lushan. With the passage of time, in the twinkling of an eye, it was mid February, and the weather was getting warmer.

Cao Jun also arrived at the front line of Lushan.

Cao Cao's army arrived and camped not far away.

Because Cao Cao arrived in the evening of the afternoon when it was dark, which was not conducive to the attack. So instead of launching an attack immediately, Cao Cao camped in place.

The army came from mountains and rivers, tired all the way, and needed a certain amount of time to adjust its state and restore its combat effectiveness.

The next day, early in the morning.

Cao Cao early mobilized the army, with all the soldiers, directly to the camp of Zhang Xiu at the foot of Lushan.

The army is mighty and fierce.

When Cao Cao's troops arrived outside Zhang Xiu's camp, they beat the battle drum. The sound of the drum is loud and powerful, soaring into the sky.

"Woo! Woo

The long and distant sound of the horn also sounded immediately.

The fierce murderous spirit diffused from the army.

In front of the army.

Cao Cao, dressed in armour, rode his horse and looked out at Zhang Xiu's barracks.

In the barracks.

Zhang Xiu put on his armor and came to the gate of the camp. His eyes fell on Cao Cao, and his eyes were cold and fierce.

He admired Cao Cao.

Cao Cao has a heart.

Back then, in the war in Wancheng, he killed Cao Cao's son and Cao Cao's beloved general Dian Wei, making Cao Cao run away at the expense of his troops. But in the end, Cao Cao was still willing to accept his surrender.

Such people are not simple.

But he and Cao Cao are opposite.

He now stands on his own side and wants to compete in the world, which is different from Cao Cao's position. Even if Zhang Xiu admires Cao Cao, but Zhang Xiu will not have the slightest soft hearted, should kill still want to kill.

Cao Cao took the lead in saying: "Zhang Xiu, the official of Cao Cao, was ordered by the son of heaven to fight against the undeserving officials. If you act recklessly in Nanyang County, you should be punished. With your strength, you can only increase your smile if you want to resist our army. If you surrender, I can save your life and even recommend you to the emperor so that you can become an official in the court. "

Hearing Cao Cao's words, Zhang Xiu said, "Cao Gong, you don't have to tell me about the words. You don't have to tell me what you mean by the order of the son of heaven. Because here, the so-called destiny of the emperor is your own order? If you want to attack Zhang Xiu, don't talk nonsense, just attack directly. But before that, I want you to meet someone. "

"Come on, take Cao Anmin out."

Zhang Xiu waved her hand and gave the order.

With the order, Cao Anmin was brought out. Today's Cao Anmin, with his head down, his eyes absent, his lips dry and his cheeks pale, is dying and quite miserable.

He was tied to the stake, the body soft prone to stand on the wooden car, is very sad.

Zhang Xiu pointed to Cao Anmin and said, "Cao Gong, you want to attack me. However, Cao Anmin is in my hands. You said, "what should I do with him?"
