Late at night, the Cao army camp in Chengwu County.
"Yuan Rang, Yuan Rang, Yuan Rang" After hearing the news that Xiahoudun had died in the Broken Dragon Valley, Cao Cao's cheeks twitched constantly, and he muttered to himself, calling Xiahoudun repeatedly.
Unexpectedly, the opening of this huge Southern Expedition was so miserable, and Xiahou Yuan first returned in Jinan. was strongly blocked by Wei Yan, Ma Chao, Wang Meng and others, but at least Cao Zhangqiang succeeded in attacking Luoyin and slaughtered the people of the city, and the loss was not too big, but Li Dian was killed, which was a small loss.
And Xiahoudun lost the battle in Peixian.
What made Cao Cao even more angry was that the pants were all invented by Liu Wei.
Although all the princes hated it to the core, they couldn't help but admire the whimsical thinking ability of this guy, and some small things invented, such as pants, masks, gloves, and bras made for women, etc., greatly facilitated the lives of the people, which was also one of the reasons why Liu Wei was expected to return.
In the battle of Peixian, more than 40,000 of the 75,000 men and horses were broken, Xu Chu was wounded, and Dolgon surrendered, although these made Cao Cao's heart ache, but at least it was acceptable, but the death of Xiahoudun made Cao Cao unable to let go.
This is no longer his own general, but his own brother, a brother who grew up with him in open crotch pants; It's a brother who rolls up his sleeves and starts beating when he's bullied when he's in a private school; He was a greedy brother who carried himself on his shoulders and picked fruit to eat is the brother who grew up to peek at a woman taking a bath together, and then stepped forward to let himself run away when he was chased; It was he and Yuan Shao who teased the bride together, and then played Yuan Shao, and when he was besieged by the Yuan clan, he roared and stepped forward desperately Thinking of this, Cao Cao couldn't help but burst into tears.
Hot tears spilled from his eyes, slid down his cheeks, wet his beard, and dripped onto the back of his hand.
But Cao Cao knew that he couldn't make a sound, he couldn't raise his hand.
You can't wipe it, you can't sob, you are the emperor of Great Wei, and you have to hold on The hero knocked out his teeth and swallowed blood.
No matter how painful it is, you can't cry, and even if you cry, you can't cry Mo Dao has no tears, but it is not the time to be sad.
Seeing the sad appearance of the lord, Dian Wei's lips twitched slightly, wanting to say something.
But I didn't know how to speak.
"Alas" Fan Zeng sighed, waved his hand and beckoned Manju Wenwu to leave, "Let Your Majesty be quiet for a while."
Everyone left in an interesting way, leaving Cao Cao alone to sit quietly in the tent.
Sitting like this, sitting, I don't know how long it took, Cao Cao raised his head suddenly, and the white of the fish belly was already exposed outside the tent.
His legs were already a little numb, Cao Cao got up with difficulty and came to the copper basin prepared by the soldiers to wash his face.
The basin reflected Cao Cao's somewhat haggard face.
Between his beard and sideburns, he was already a little gray, and he had aged a lot during the night.
"I, Cao Mengde, swear to the sky here, vowing to wash Xuzhou in blood, and let the soul in the sky be comforted by the yuan" Cao Mengde stared at his own reflection in the copper basin and muttered to himself.
The sound of horses' hooves sounded outside the tent, and it turned out that Guo Ziyi, Jia Fu, Chen Ziyun, Xun You and others escorted Xiahoudun's body to meet Cao Cao.
The remnants of the troops withdrawn from Pei County had already joined Guo Ziyi's soldiers and horses in Shanfu County, and were temporarily in charge of Wang Yanzhang, Shan Xiongxin, Wen Ping and others, waiting for Cao Cao's next instructions.
Accompanied by Fan Zeng, Guo Jia, Cao Shen, Cao Wenzhao and other civil and military personnel, Guo Ziyi, Jia Fu and others entered the Shuai tent together, and saw Cao Cao sitting back behind the Shuai case with his eyes wide open.
Last night's sluggish fighting spirit.
The sad expression was thrown out of the clouds, and it was replaced by a stubborn and unyielding expression.
"Damn it" In addition to Guo Ziyi, Jia Fu, Chen Ziyun, Xun You and others knelt down together in front of the Shuai case to plead guilty, "The ministers failed to judge the situation." assisted the hussar general to break the enemy, but instead fell into the tricks of Qin Qiong and Xu Da, causing the hussar general to die in the Broken Dragon Valley" Cao Cao's eyes were like torches, and he said loudly: "Get up, victory and defeat are common things in soldiers, and if you want to be held accountable."
Yuan Rang is the chief general of the three armies, and he has the greatest responsibility."
After a pause, he continued: "You just need to remember that you can double what you have lost, and pay for your blood debts, this is the bearing that a king should have, and what we have to do next is not to mourn and complain to ourselves, but to cheer up our confidence, regroup, and make a comeback."
What are we afraid of a small setback, the superiority in forces is still on our side, and the comeback is unknown, and we should retaliate against them with a more fierce attack."
Word by word, the sound is like a bell, deafening and deafening, which greatly encourages the confidence of the civil and military forces in the full tent.
"Your Majesty, we will definitely do our best to take revenge, and pay for the blood debt" Under the leadership of Jia Fu, Cao Shen, Cao Wenzhao, Dian Wei, Dong Ping, Li Tong and other generals bowed their hands together and issued a uniform shout.
Cao Cao nodded: "Very good, then let's plan well and see where we go next."
"Newspaper" At this moment, a scout pulled a long tone and galloped towards him.
Rolled down in front of the handsome tent, took a few steps forward and knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, the Central Plains Legion is a good news" "Oh, let's hear it" Cao Cao raised his eyebrows, and his spirit was shocked.
"A few days ago, Yang Su led Zhu Jun, Shi Wansui, Deng Ai, and the newly reactivated Zhang Xutuo to raise 100,000 troops out of the Tiger Prison Pass, and joined forces with our army's generals such as Yu Wenze, Cao Zhen, and Xiahou Shang to attack Wancheng all the way, entangled Yue Fei's corps."
Cao Cao stroked his beard and groaned: "The entire Western Han Dynasty court, Yang Su can entangle Yue Fei, these two old opponents have stopped fighting, at least three or four times, they have never been able to tell the winner, if there is no Yang Su, I am afraid that the Western Han Dynasty will die early."
The scout continued to report: "Taking advantage of the fact that Yue Fei's army was entangled, General Cao Zixiao and Sima Zhongda, Sima Pair, Shi Jin, Zhang Yan, Yan Xing and other generals marched separately to link the seventeen counties of Kechen County and Qian County to recover all the lost territory.
And designed by Sima Zhongda, using fake grain and grass to lure Xue Li to rob grain in Song County, set fire to it, killed more than 5,000 Han troops, and killed Xue Li in defeat and retreated to Ruyin" "Well done" Cao Cao got up, his beard trembling slightly: "Cao Zixiao and Sima Zhongda finally lived up to my high expectations" "It's great, I finally got out of my heart" The scout's words seemed to inject a burst of strength into the full tent of civil and military affairs, and they all clenched their fists and cheered: "Good job, great, lift your spirit" "Don't be impatient, don't be impatient" Cao Cao quickly calmed down, and waved his hand to signal the generals not to get excited: "The county seats of Qian County and Chen County are located on the front line, and there are not many troops, so it is not good to take them.
And the strength of the Eastern Han Legion can be regarded as a comprehension, we have not yet clashed with the three major legions of Li Jing, Yue Fei, and Wu Qi, and the Central Corps personally commanded by Liu Wei is fighting in Bashu.
With only the two small corps of Wei Yan and Qin Qiong, plus Wang Meng's county soldiers, our army suffered a big loss, so we must not be careless, and the next plan must be cautious."
Fan Zeng, Guo Jia and the others nodded one after another: "What Your Majesty said is extremely true, the strength of the Eastern Han Army is really unexpected.
Moreover, Zhuge Liang's army is on the way to the rescue, and I heard that it has passed through the White Emperor City, and it is estimated that it will arrive at the mouth of the Wet Whisker in another month, so we must use all our strength to attack the city and plunder the land."
Cao Cao stroked his beard and fell into deep thought: "Before Zhuge Liang's army comes to help, we must make a breakthrough as soon as possible, otherwise we are afraid that we will abandon your Aiqing, how do you think the next step is to use troops in the direction of Xuzhou or Huainan."
"In the opinion of the ministers, it is better to gather a large army to attack Xuzhou and avenge Xiahou Yuanrang" Cao Shen took a step forward and put forward a proposal to march into Xuzhou.

Xun You agreed: "If we can't take Xuzhou, our army will go deep into Huainan, and I'm afraid we won't do much."
In my opinion, it is better for the whole army to attack Xuzhou in the east, and take the whole of Xuzhou when Zhuge Liang arrives in Weixu, and completely cut off Qingzhou and other territories in the Eastern Han Dynasty, which is also a great gain."
"No," Fan Zeng shook his head and refused, "If my army of more than 100,000 troops advances into Xuzhou, I can naturally sweep away Qin Qiong, Xu Da and the like with one blow."
However, at that time, Li Jing was bound to abandon the entire line of Hebei, withdraw to Qingzhou, and storm the road of Mount Tai, Rencheng, and Qiaojun, but instead surrounded the main force of our army in Xuzhou, forming a counter-encirclement trend.
It's easy to break Xuzhou, but it's hard to do anything further."
Xun You asked rhetorically: "According to the prime minister's meaning, how to use soldiers" Fan Zeng's finger pointed at the sand table: "Continue to march to Huainan, attack it will save At present, Huainan only has 15,000 soldiers and horses of Yang Yanzhao and 10,000 soldiers and horses of Ma Dai, and Xue Lixin was defeated and retreated to Ruyin, with an estimated strength of about 30,000."
Our army will attack Shouchun in a hurry, and it will be able to break the city in one fell swoop.
Under the spring of Shou, Huainan is fixed, to the south of Hefei, to reach the mouth of the wet beard, drink the Yangtze River, shock Jinling.
Let Zhuge Liang's reinforcements not be able to land, so that the big thing can be decided" "Jia agrees with the Prime Minister's opinion" Guo Jia stroked his chin in favor of Fan Zeng's opinion, "Although the Xuzhou Army won, its strength is limited, and our army will divide another army to suppress it."
The Xuzhou army could not move, and ordered Xiahou Miaocai to block the Yellow River, unite with Cao Bin's army, and beware of Li Jing's abandonment of Hebei to return to the division to rescue.
As long as Huainan is stormed, it will definitely be able to sweep the whole territory within a month."
"Then who can compete with Xu Da," Cao Cao frowned and groaned.
According to the scout's report, Qin Qiong was injured and returned to Xiapi to recuperate, Zang Ba was killed in battle, and the Xuzhou army lost more than 10,000 people, and its strength was also weakened to a certain extent.
As long as a general is dispatched, it may be possible to re-establish the suppression.
The successive defeats of Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan made Cao Cao realize that he could not win by relying on the clan alone, and he must try his best to let his subordinates make the best use of their talents in order to achieve victory.
At this point, he must learn from Liu Wei, he enabled Li Jing, Yue Fei, Wu Qi, Qin Qiong and others to be eclectic, no matter what the Han family, no matter what the surname, all of them are used in quantity, so as to cast the glory of the Eastern Han Dynasty today.
In terms of knowing people and being good at their duties, it is not okay to be unconvinced Cao Cao's eyes turned, swept a glance at the full tent of civil and martial arts, and finally fell on one person: "You go to serve as the main general of the attack on Xu, I believe that you can turn the tide" t1706231537:
