The sound of the horse's hooves suddenly sounded. In a flash, shamoko had come to Liu Xiu's side.
Liu Xiu said with a smile, "how is the war going, shamoko?"
Shamoko looked at Cao Cao in the opposite direction, and he wanted to say nothing.
Cao Cao smile, not words. From Cao Cao's point of view, if shamoko wants to talk and stops talking, he is afraid that Liu Xiu's army is defeated, otherwise shamoko will say it directly.
Liu Xiu said, "it's OK to say it directly."
Shamoko said: "report back to my Lord, both battlefields have been won. Among them, in the first battle of Ziwu Road, XiaHouYuan and xiahouba were killed, and all the soldiers under XiaHouYuan surrendered. In the first ambush, Yujin surrendered. More than half of the soldiers under Yujin died, and all the others surrendered. In this battle, no more than a thousand soldiers were lost at midnight. General wenpin ambushed in the forbidden area, and no soldier was lost. "
"No way!"
After hearing this, Cao Cao did not even think about it, and he directly denied it.
Not to mention the life and death of Xia Houyuan and Yu Jin, but to say that Wen pin ambushed Yu Jin, no soldier lost. This is impossible. It is impossible to win without losing a soldier.
Shamoko glared at Cao Cao, a look you don't believe.
Liu Xiu said, "prime minister, it seems that you are defeated in this battle."
Cao Cao said, "Liu Xiu, you can't disturb the morale of the soldiers under the prime minister."
Liu Xiu shook his head and said, "if you make a little inquiry about the war situation, you will know. Don't worry, Prime Minister. As a person, I don't have the idea of beating a drowning dog. You lead your troops outside the camp. For the time being, I won't attack you. But as soon as you retreat, I'll send troops. "
Brush!
Cao Cao's face became very pale.
In his heart, he believed Liu Xiu's view that this war must have been defeated.
But Cao Cao couldn't accept it.
In this war, he tried his best, but he was defeated.
Cao Cao rubbed his feet, brushed his sleeves, and then went to the army.
Liu Xiu also stood up and returned to the camp with Deng Zhan and Sha Moke. As soon as they arrived at the camp, Pang Tong, Xu Shu and Jia Xu met them. With a smile on their faces, Jia Xu said, "Lord, have you won this battle?"
Liu Xiu said: "both Shan Fei and Wen pin have won in their respective battlefields. Now, that's the direction of the yellow tiger. "
Jia Xu stroked his beard under his jaw and said, "Cao Cao's army went out and the camp was empty. At this time, Huzi led his army to attack. It was easy to win. The overall situation has been decided, and the Guanzhong area is in the hands of the Lord. "
Liu Xiu also had a brilliant smile in his eyes.
After seizing Guanzhong, his power will have an essential leap.
The crowd returned to the camp and waited.
As a matter of fact, Liu Xiu can send troops to fight Cao Cao now, just to delay time and wait for news from Huang Hu, so there is no war for the time being.
However, if Cao Cao wanted to withdraw, Liu Xiu would have to cover up and kill him.
Cao Cao returned to the army, recruited Xun you and Liu Ye, and told them the news just now.
After hearing this, their faces were full of surprise.
Xun you said: "it's impossible. The prime minister's arrangement is perfect. How can he fail? What's more, Liu Xiu's answer is too exaggerated. He said that he killed most of Yu Jin's troops without losing a soldier. Yu Jin's troops are 10000, and most of them are at least 5000. Under such circumstances, it is possible not to lose a soldier? "
Liu Ye nodded and said, "I also feel strange and incredible.
Cao Cao said: "at the beginning, the prime minister lost to Liu Xiu in Nanyang County, but the other side lost very little, and we lost countless? It's possible. But it has to be verified. "
"Xu Chu!"
Cao Cao gave the order directly.
"The end will be here!"
Xu Chu stood up and saluted.
Cao Cao ordered: "send two tiger and leopard riders and go to the forbidden ambush site immediately to inquire about the news."
"No!"
Xu Chu was ordered to turn around and withdraw.
Liu Ye said, "prime minister, what shall we do now?"
Cao Cao's eyes narrowed and said, "now we don't do anything. We are here waiting for the news. Liu Xiu's news is shocking, but it's hard to guarantee that he didn't mean to intimidate us to withdraw. All the plans have come to this point. It is impossible to retreat now. It's absolutely impossible to stop halfway. So we have to continue this war. "
"Yes
Liu Ye nodded, but there was a touch of worry in his eyes.
Since Liu Xiu has already said that the ambush of Ziwu road and Yu Jin is really dangerous.
The two armies are still facing each other. Cao Cao's troops are arrayed outside the city, while Liu Xiu's soldiers are arrayed in the camp, ready to fight at any time.
Time goes by.
"Da! DadaAll of a sudden, the sound of a horse's hoof came from the official road in the distance.
On the official road, I saw two tigers and leopards galloping back on horseback.
They went to see the news of the ambush, and quickly came back to deliver the news.
Soon, tiger and leopard came to Cao Cao's side.
Cao Cao quickly asked, "how is Yu ban?"
One of the Knights replied, "prime minister, I'm defeated. I'm really defeated. Both Yu Jin and the captured soldiers have been detained by wenpin's army. The soldiers are in rags from a distance. "
"Ah
Cao Cao exclaimed, "how can this be possible?"
After a pause, Cao Cao said, "what's the local situation like?"
"According to the villain's judgment, General Yu Jin was ambushed," said the knight
"Ambush?"
Cao Cao's mouth twitched and his face felt absurd.
The original intention of this war was to let Yu Jin ambush the reinforcements sent by Liu Xiu to Ziwu road. But now, the Knights of tigers and leopards say that Yu Jin was ambushed. It's a complete waste.
The soldier continued: "the local terrain is very broad, but there is a bamboo forest on the official road leading to Ziwu road. Today's bamboo forest, has been burning up, the fire soared to the sky. According to the judgment, General Yu Jin probably hid in the bamboo forest, but was attacked by wenpin with a big fire, and then the whole army was trapped. "
"Alas..."
Xun you sighed and said, "prime minister, it makes sense now. The Jingzhou army who went to ambush and rescue must be ambushing in the bamboo forest. Wenpin, who Liu Xiu sent, must have expected wenpin to lie in ambush and set fire to the bamboo forest. Only in this way can Yu Jin fall into a sea of fire and be captured. "
Cao Cao is also a master of the art of war. After listening to the words of tiger and leopard riding, he will infer.
Bamboo forest on fire!
Obviously, it was burned in the bamboo forest.
Cao Cao clenched his fist and said: "in this way, in terms of Ziwu Road, XiaHouYuan and xiahouba are dead." At this point, Cao Cao clenched his fist, his eyes full of resentment.
XiaHouYuan had been following Cao Cao's cavalry for a long time, especially the Xiahou family and Cao family were relatives. To Cao Cao, Xia Houyuan is his brother.
After decades of fighting, Xia Houyuan died in Ziwu Road, and even Xia Houba died.
Such a thing, XiaHouYuan incomparable heartache.
Xunyou said: "prime minister, the failure of the two battlefields means that our attack on Liu Xiu is meaningless. Retreat. It's no use attacking now. Even if Wen pin leads the army to kill us, we will be attacked by Liu Xiu. "
Cao Cao nodded and said, "withdraw!"
With an order, Cao's army began to turn around and retreat.
At the moment of Cao Cao's retreat, Liu Xiu's camp suddenly remembered the sound of war drums.
The drums roared into the sky.
Liu Xiu's army was quickly killed.
The leader, however, is shamoko.
At the moment, shamoko's face is full of fighting spirit and killing intention. He was carrying the bone flower of Tribulus terrestris and roared: "the thief Cao is in front of us. Sons, follow me and catch the thief Cao alive."
"Da! Dada
With the sound of the horse's hooves, shamoko took the lead and led the army to kill him. More than 20000 soldiers, led by shamoko, rushed to the tail of Cao Cao's army to keep Cao Cao in Chang'an.
