Endless grief and indignation, endless shock, wrapped Cao Cao all over in an instant, and his burnt face was also distorted to deformation.
In the imperial tent, Ma Chao, Guo Jia, Fa Zheng and other civil and military generals were all stunned and discolored, deeply shocked by this amazing nightmare.
Especially Guo Jia, he was even more shocked that his blood was rolling, he was in a trance, and he coughed wildly when he opened his mouth.
This strategy was given by him Guo Jia, he calculated everything, and calculated that the potters would never have thought that Lejin would break through from the impossible north, go to Shimenjin to seize the warship, and retreat from the west by land and water.
This strategy can be said to have been devised by Guo Jia with all his efforts, and he expected that even if the potter had a strategist like Zhang Liang, he would never be able to see through it.
Unexpectedly, in the end, it was still a battle, Le Jin, Cheng Yu, and the 20,000 army were all wiped out.
Once again defeated by the potters, Guo Jia's dignity was hurt and humiliated like never before, and he couldn't help but be angry and attacked.
"Ah" Suddenly, Guo Jia screamed miserably, opening his mouth and spurting a mouthful of blood.
Including Cao Cao, everyone was taken aback, and when they helped Guo Jia, this supreme strategist had already passed out.
Cao Cao was so shocked that he forgot about the defeat in front of him for a while, and hurriedly ordered the medical officer to come and give Guo Jia emergency treatment.
Several medical officers arrived quickly, and they were busy for a long time, using drugs and needles, and barely stabilized Guo Jia's qi and blood.
Cao Cao breathed a sigh of relief and asked the medical officer: "How is Guo Fengxiao's health, is there any worry about his life?"
The medical officer sighed and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, Lord Guo was already weak and weak, but now he has been stimulated like this, and his internal organs have been severely damaged, I am afraid that he must do a long-term recuperation, otherwise he will have to worry about his life." ” Cao Cao's heart felt like he had been pricked by a needle, but he had no choice but to wave his hand and order Guo Jia to be sent back to Chang'an City overnight to recuperate.
Sent Guo Jia away, calm was restored in the imperial tent, and everyone's spirit returned to the reality of the defeat of Huangchi from Guo Jia, and for a while there was a discussion in the imperial tent, and people's hearts were in turmoil.
"Lejin, how did they lose, could it be that the pottery thief saw through Fengxiao's clever plan again," Cao Cao asked in a deep voice.
Liu Ye shook his head and sighed: "Not this time, Feng Xiao's plan was indeed concealed from the pottery thief, so that he mistakenly thought that Le Jin was going to break through from the west, and successfully led the main force of the Wei army to the west, and Le Jin successfully broke through from the north." ” "In this case, then why will the whole army be wiped out, is it possible that they failed to capture Shimendu" Cao Cao became more and more puzzled.
"There are less than 1,000 defenders in Shimendu, how can they resist the attack of my 20,000 army, Lejin and they easily captured the water camp, it's a pity" Liu Ye sighed bitterly again, and said helplessly: "The Wei army guard general of Shimendu is a captain named Luo Cheng, this thief decisively ordered the burning of more than 100 warships in the water camp at a critical moment, so that even if Lejin and them captured the water camp, there would be no boats available. ” Luo Cheng Hearing this unfamiliar name, Cao Cao's face was dazed, and the left and right civil and military expressions were also surprised.
Liu Ye continued: "Moreover, this Luo Cheng not only burned the warship, I heard that this kid is also excellent in martial arts, and Le Jin fought against him, and he was beheaded by him." ” Cao Cao's body was shocked again, and a look of astonishment burst out of his eyes, obviously he didn't expect that this little captain could still kill Le Jin.
"This Luo Cheng, is it another strange person from the pottery thief martial arts hall," Cao Cao asked in a deep voice.
Liu Ye shook his head, "The pottery thief has always given those generals who came out of the martial arts hall the name of the ancients, this Luo Cheng's name, the minister has never heard of it, I think it should not be a martial arts hall, maybe just an ordinary nobody, but it is deeply hidden, and it happened to be the misfortune of Lejin." ” When Cao Cao heard this, his body shook again, and he put his hand on the desk before he barely stood still, his scorched face was occupied by resentment.
He hated injustice in his heart It's just that there are many strange people hidden under the command of the pottery merchant, and he is even lucky that even a young general like Luo Cheng also serves in his army.
What's even worse is that this Luo Cheng did not show the mountain dew in the early morning and the mountain dew in the evening, but at the critical moment when Lejin was about to seize the boat and escape, he burst out with dazzling light.
"Tao thief, your luck is too good, I don't believe it, I don't believe it" Cao Cao hit the desk with his fist, gritted his teeth, and seemed to be holding a heavy sulk in his chest, and the more he stalked, the more uncomfortable it became.
Seeing that Cao Cao was so angry that he trembled, his subordinates on the left and right became nervous again, and they all advised Cao Cao to take care of his body.
After a while, Cao Cao took a few deep breaths in a row, and only then did he calm down the stuffiness in his chest, and flicked his hands weakly, "Pass the order, the whole army will immediately withdraw the camp and retreat in the direction of Tongguan." ” The ministers were silent, and they all shook their heads and sighed.
They originally wanted to point to Le Jin to break through Lu Xun's department in the water camp, and then retreat with a victory, but they didn't expect a Luo Cheng to suddenly appear and ruin their overall layout.
The depressed mood began to spread among the monarchs and ministers of the Qin State.
At this time, a fine light flashed in front of Fa Zheng's eyes, and he suddenly thought of something, so he stood up and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, although we lost 20,000 elite soldiers in this battle, and also lost two important ministers, Le Jin and Cheng Yu, we don't necessarily have to take a defensive position. ” "Filial piety is not a good strategy" Cao Cao's spirit suddenly perked up slightly.
Fa Zheng said: "Now the potter has won, will do his best to raise 200,000 troops to Tongguan, although he has many soldiers and horses, but the cavalry is less than 10,000, Your Majesty why not transfer 50,000 iron cavalry from Xiqiang to rush to the outside of the pass, use the Qiang soldiers, give full play to the advantage of our cavalry, and break the pottery thieves in Hongnong in one fell swoop." ” Xiqiang Iron Ride As soon as these words came out, everyone in the imperial tent was in high spirits, as if they suddenly thought of some life-saving straw.
Cao Cao's eyes also lit up, and he stood up again, his sunken eyes burst out with a bit of excitement, and said: "If it weren't for filial piety to remind me, I almost forgot my advantage, isn't my Great Qin the iron cavalry dominant, attacking the city and plundering the land is the shortcoming of our army, and the iron cavalry is the chief of our army."
"What Your Majesty said is very true."
Fa Zheng smiled, and said with his hand: "Moreover, although the leader of the Xiqiang Churchi was forced to surrender, but after all, it is not my race, and his heart will be different, if Your Majesty orders the Xiqiang soldiers to deal with the pottery thieves, you can also take the opportunity to transfer the Qiang people from Guanlong, and secondly, you can also borrow the hands of the pottery thieves to weaken the Qiang people. ” Counting four words in one fell swoop greatly boosted Cao Cao's spirits, and his scorched face rekindled his hunting spirit.
Only groaned slightly, Cao Cao's eyes were full of determination, and he struck a few cases with his fist, and said proudly: "According to the plan of filial piety, I will immediately pass on my will to Cherriji, and order him to lead the Xiqiang Iron Cavalry to Tongguan to help in the battle, and I will let the pottery thief taste the power of my Great Qin Iron Cavalry this time."
This decree was issued, and in the imperial tent, the spirits of all the Qin ministers were encouraged, and one by one they rekindled their fighting spirit.
At that moment, Cao Cao pulled out the camp overnight, led an army of 50,000 to retreat towards Tongguan, and sent people to Longxi in the starry night to transfer 50,000 Qiang iron cavalry.
Cao Cao's victory in the previous expedition to Qiang was forced to surrender, and the leaders of the Qiang people, large and small, had to send their children to Chang'an as hostages to show their loyalty to Cao Cao.
Now Cao Cao's will was transmitted to Longxi, although the Qiang people such as Cheriji were reluctant in their hearts, they did not dare to disobey, so they could only take up 50,000 Xiqiang iron horses and rush all the way to Tongguan.
When Cao Cao led the army to retreat, the pottery merchants had led more than 200,000 troops, chasing all the way to the rear, and successively recovered the cities along the Tu Zhucheng.
Two days later, the pottery merchant army arrived in Shaanxi County and officially joined Bai Qi, Lu Xun, Ding Feng and other surprise attack troops.
On the same day, the potters set up a banquet in Shaanxi County to entertain the meritorious generals Bai Qi, Lu Xun and Ding Feng.
At the banquet that day, Bai Qi became the protagonist of the banquet with his first contribution to the surprise attack on Shaanxi County, and was greatly praised by the potters.
As for the newly raised Lu Xun and the young general Ding Feng, they were also rewarded by the potters to varying degrees for their efforts in seizing Shaanxi-Tianjindu.
That night, the pottery merchant and the generals had a good drink, and took the grain, grass, wine and meat left by Cao Cao in the city of Shaanxi County, and rewarded the soldiers of the three armies.
After a full day, the morale was restored to a strong state, and the potters immediately set off to the west to pursue Cao Cao.
A few days later, the Great Wei Emperor entered the Tongguan Pass.

At this time, Cao Cao had already retreated to Tongguan first, hanging his free battle card, closing himself and not daring to show his face.
The potter led an army of 200,000 troops, calmly forced the village, and the camps were lined up from south to north, and there was no end in sight.
The camp has been settled, before the evening, the potters surrounded by the generals, personally went to the pass to inspect the terrain of the Tongguan.
Immediately high slope, looking at the topography of Tongguan mountains and rivers, the pottery merchants saw for the first time, the danger of Tongguan that is famous in the world in history.
The location of this Tongguan, there are Qinling Mountains in the south, Luoshui of the Yellow River in the north, and the mountains and rivers are sandwiched, and the location itself is excellent.
Looking at the specific location of Sekijo, there are endless mountain peaks around it, and the valley road is narrow, and the Seki Castle is built in the narrowest part of the valley road.
Such a closed city, although it is not as sinister as Sword Pavilion and Yangping Pass, can also be described as a one-man pass.
It's a pity that the potter only lamented the danger of Tongguan, but he would have the slightest fear, after all, he had even broken through the Sword Pavilion and Yangping, which were the first in the world.
After observing the terrain, the pottery merchant ordered as usual, and ordered Bai Qi to lead tens of thousands of male soldiers to launch a tentative attack on Tongguan.
As a result, it is a pity to know that Cao Cao relied on the danger of closing the city, 50,000 soldiers and horses calmly resisted, and Bai Qi did not even touch the edge of the head of Tongguan after paying more than 1,000 soldiers for death and injury.
The pottery merchant also thoroughly explored the danger of the city, found out the Qin army's ability to defend the city, and immediately ordered the withdrawal of troops and return to the camp.
The army returned to camp, and a group of Great Wei elites soon gathered in the imperial tent to discuss with the pottery merchants the strategy of breaking the Tong Pass.
"Your Majesty, the latest urgent news from Guanzhong" Zhang Yi suddenly hurried in and presented the latest information written by Jinyi Wei.
"Read it."
The potter kept his eyes off the map, and only flicked his hand.
Zhang Yi unfolded the silk book, took a light breath, and said in a solemn tone: "According to the latest information from Guanzhong, Cao Cao has transferred the Xiqiang Iron Cavalry to Tongguan to help in the battle, and now the Qiang Clan's big leader Che Liji, with Yadan and Yueji as generals, is leading 50,000 Xiqiang Iron Cavalry to Tongguan directly, and it will arrive in less than three days." ” As soon as this information came out, in the imperial tent, the expressions of all the ministers changed slightly, and they seemed to be shaken.
"Cao Cao, you finally have no way out, and you have decided to use the Qiang people's Hulu soldiers to fight against me" The potter's sword eyebrows condensed slightly, and in the eagle's eyes, a cold killing machine burst out. isjgy:
