"Your Majesty" Wang Meng hurriedly broke into Cao Cao's bedroom.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing Wang Meng in such a hurry, Cao Cao stood up.
"The front was defeated, Xu Da's army broke through our army's defense line, Cao Bin, Xu Chu and Yang Shihan were killed in battle, and the twentieth army suffered heavy casualties, and now it is less than 100,000."
Wang Meng said heavily.
"You're right" Cao Cao was stunned on the spot when he heard this.
"The minister does not dare to deceive His Majesty" Wang Meng knew that this was news that Cao Cao would not be able to stand it, but he still said it.
"Wow, wow" Cao Cao retreated again and again, and finally staggered and sat directly on the ground.
"Your Majesty" Wang Meng hurriedly rushed over to support Cao Cao, at this time Cao Cao's eyes were blank, his face was pale, his breathing was short, and he was extremely unstable.
"Doctor, go find the doctor" Seeing this, Wang Meng hurriedly shouted to the guards outside.
The next morning, Under the escort of the forbidden army, Cao Cao, the entire harem, and the entire court hurriedly left Wu County and fled south.
That's right, Cao Cao is going to escape, to be precise, this order was given by Cao Ang, because Cao Cao is still unconscious.
Cao Cao has always had very severe headaches, and this blow is too big for him, and Cao Cao may not even wake up from now.
"General Cao Ren, do they have any news back," Cao Ang asked.
"I just got the news that General Yang Shihan was killed in battle, and the army has retreated into Biling."
When he answered, Wang Meng's face was very ugly.
"Retreat and retreat, it seems that the situation is really not optimistic," Cao Ang sighed.
Wang Meng didn't speak, and he didn't know how to answer, because the current situation is really bad, saying good things is self-deception, and saying bad things is self-defeating.
"There is news of General Guo Ziyi" Cao Ang asked again.
"No, but I think the situation won't be too good, after all, the strength is even more insufficient than here, and their opponent is Liu Wei himself, as well as Li Jing and Li Cunxiao."
Wang Meng shook his head and replied, in Wang Meng's opinion, the situation on Guo Ziyi's side will be worse than here, and maybe even the whole army has been wiped out.
The army continued to move south, but Cao Cao still did not wake up, and hesitated women, children, and old people, with many heavy treasures, and the speed of his actions was not fast, it could even be said that it was very slow, and he could only advance less than ten miles in an hour.
"Cao Ren, open the city and surrender immediately, I can be the master and spare you from death" Outside the city of Biling, Pei Yuanqing raised his hammer and shouted.
"Pei Yuanqing, are you daydreaming, the emperor of this Wu State is surnamed Cao, and my Cao Ren is also surnamed Cao, I surrender to you, unless I am crazy."
Cao Ren used Pei Yuanqing's words to ridicule Pei Yuanqing.
"Cao Ren, you are presumptuous" Pei Yuanqing was immediately furious.
"Pei Yuanqing, if you have the ability, then kill in, I, Cao Ren, am here, and my good head is waiting for you to get it."
Cao Ren shouted.
"I don't know whether I live or die, I attack the city" Pei Yuanqing was furious and directly ordered the siege of the city, and for a while arrows flew towards the city like rain.
After successive defeats, there were only more than 60,000 soldiers in Cao Ren's hands at this time, and although Xu Da's army suffered heavy losses, it still had almost 150,000 troops.
In the face of the imposing siege army, the soldiers of the Cao army guarding the city did everything they could, they fell one after another, and the casualties continued to increase, but even so they still did not intend to give up.
Although many Cao soldiers were reluctant to fight for Cao Cao, at this time they were fighting in their hometown, and they did not know how the enemy opposite them would treat their families and how they would treat them, and the so-called "reminders" from the top made them more cautious.
They regarded Liu Wei's army as an enemy, an enemy who invaded their homeland, so they did everything they could.
On the first day, Cao's army lost more than 3,000 killed and wounded more than 10,000.
The next day, Cao's army lost more than 5,000 killed and nearly 10,000 wounded.
On the third day, the number of Cao soldiers killed in the battle was even greater, and the soldiers who had been wounded two days earlier were also in pain because they had not received effective treatment.
Three days later, Cao's army had only 30,000 soldiers and horses to fight.
"Retreat" Ran Min said to Cao Ren heavily.
"No, Your Majesty, they haven't reached a safe area yet, if they withdraw now, it's only a matter of time before they catch up with Your Majesty at the speed of the enemy."
Cao Ren shook his head and decisively rejected Ran Min's proposal.
"But if you continue to hold it, our army will be completely annihilated, once the whole army is annihilated, where will the army come to protect Your Majesty, and how will Your Majesty make a comeback in the future."
Ran Min continued to persuade.
"Hold on for one more day, and last hold for another day, and retreat the day after tomorrow" Cao Ren looked at Ran Min and said solemnly, with a hint of begging in Cao Ren's eyes.
Looking at Cao Ren, Ran Min still agreed, and nodded heavily, "Okay, then keep it for another day" In the face of the attack of more than 100,000 troops under Xu Da, he was able to hold on for three days, and he still retained nearly 30,000 people, which is already very powerful, of course, the reason why he was able to do so much was thanks to the lack of arrows in the siege army.
"I didn't expect them to have been holding on for three days, it's really lifeless," Gao Changgong couldn't help but sigh.

"There should be less than half of the people left in the city, and I think they should retreat tomorrow and the day after tomorrow."
Xu Da said confidently.
"If they don't retreat," Li Xin asked with a smile.
"What should I do, naturally I will destroy them and leave no one behind."
Xu Da replied categorically.
"I don't think Cao Ren should be so ignorant, if it's over here, then Cao Cao will really be finished," Gao Changgong said tentatively.
"Even if you escape this catastrophe, you still want to overturn the sky with 20,000 or 30,000 horses, and the general doesn't plan to give them another chance this time."
Xu Da said disdainfully.
"It seems that General Xu is planning to cut off their back road."
Li Xin said with a smile.
"The north gate is a river, and the pontoon bridge was destroyed by themselves, and the north gate only needs to send a part of the soldiers and horses to sit in the town, and this task will be handed over to you, General Li Xin."
Xu Da said to Li Xin.
"No problem" Li Xin gladly accepted.
"The West Gate is where the main force of our army is, and they don't dare to break through from the West Gate, so General X and Gao Su will be in charge there."
"Yes" Gao Changgong nodded, "Ran Min is brave and fierce, there is only General Gao Chong in our army, Pei Yuanqing can contend with it, the south gate will be handed over to General Pei Yuanqing and General Ma Chao, and the east gate will be handed over to General Gao Chong and General Tai Shici."
Xu Da said again.
"No" The four people who are highly favored are also happy to accept.
The next day, the war ended, When Xu Da and the others found out that the defenders in the city had not left, they immediately launched an operation.
The situation outside the city, Cao Ren in the city, they naturally found out.
"Retreat, if you don't retreat, you won't have a chance to retreat."
Ran Min said to Cao Ren.
"You lead the army to retreat, and lead the queen of the palace."
Cao Ren said solemnly to Ran Min.
"Why is that?"
Ran Min looked at Cao Ren in surprise.
"With the offensive of the enemy army outside the city, if all of them are withdrawn at once, maybe our army will catch up from behind before the enemy army leaves the city."
Cao Ren explained.
"I can let someone else stay."
Ran Min continued to persuade.
"Others can't hold it and can't hold it, so so-and-so must stay."
Cao Ren shook his head.
Cao Ren's words are not unreasonable, after all, no one else can be trusted except himself, once there is no him in charge, the other generals may open the city and surrender, not to mention buying time.
"General Ran Min, compared to me, the imperial court needs you more, please lead the soldiers to break through."
Cao Ren said solemnly to Ran Min.
Looking at Cao Ren's current appearance, after a long time, Ran Min nodded heavily.
S: I went back to my hometown today, I cleaned up for a long time, and I will change it today, and I will have the opportunity to make up for it later
