I win the lottery in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 181

Chapter 181

A night attack made the situation at Hangu Pass gradually clearer. The withdrawal of the coalition forces has become inevitable, and the rest is only a matter of time.

As the founder, Yuan Shao, he was naturally unwilling to fail like this.

Fortunately, Cao Cao brought a batch of grain and grass from Yanzhou. Although it can alleviate the current situation, it can only last for a week.

In Hangu Pass, just after Meng Chen finished washing, Chen Yaojin ran over with a smile on his face.

"My lord, that kid Ma Jun is here to send you a crossbow."

"It's finally here!" Meng Chen said with a smile while quickly putting on his armor.

Originally, Mengchen planned to deploy the array-breaking crossbow around Chang'an and important towns in the Western Regions, but as Yuan Shao summoned hundreds of thousands of troops to attack, important passes like Hangu Pass had to be considered.

Arriving at the west gate in a hurry, what caught my eyes was a huge motorcade, and Ma Jun was busy counting things.

"Deheng, how many formation-breaking crossbows have you sent in total?" Meng Chen asked as he hurried forward to stop Ma Jun who was about to continue going out.

"Uh, to return to the lord, a total of seventeen groups were sent. Ten groups were used to strengthen the defense of Hangu Pass, and seven groups of crossbows were used in front of the lord's formation."

Without opening Meng Chen's mouth, Ma Jun continued: "Time is running out, we can only make these."

"Haha, the Marquis is very satisfied to be able to make seventeen sets."

After the words fell, Meng Chen waved his hand and mobilized manpower to assist the craftsmen brought by Ma Jun in unloading and installing.

Although the coalition forces will not make much action in the past three days, the sooner the bed crossbow, a great defensive weapon, is put into use, the better.

Looking at the busy scene, Meng Chen did not stay any longer, but led the personal guards towards the wounded barracks.

Compared with the coalition army, the treatment of wounded soldiers in the Xiliang army is much better.

In addition to all kinds of policy support, every wounded soldier can receive careful care, especially the full rescue of the seriously wounded.

Meng Chen once said that if he joined the Xiliang Army, he would be a robe and a brother, and he must "never abandon, never give up" his siblings, even if the chance of surviving is very small, he must go all out.

Meng Chen stepped into the wounded barracks, and a familiar figure appeared in his vision!

"Doctor Hua?"

"I don't know how the Marquis will arrive."

"Why is the genius doctor so polite!" Meng Chen stepped forward and stopped Hua Tuo who was about to salute.

"It is important to rescue the wounded."

Hua Tuo nodded, and then devoted himself to the wound treatment of the injured soldiers.

Since the farewell in Chang'an, Hua Tuo has often thought about Meng Chen's words. After several years of serious thinking, Hua Tuo decided to help Meng Chen realize his wish in the remaining time!

As for when Hua Tuo arrived at Hangu Pass, Hua Tuo didn't say, and Meng Chen didn't ask either.

After patrolling the wounded barracks and comforting the wounded soldiers, Meng Chen returned to the city.

It has become a daily homework for Meng Chen to go to the top of the city to check the situation of the coalition forces.

"My lord, with these bed crossbows, if the coalition forces are attacking the city, they will definitely let them come and go."

Meng Chen had just climbed to the top of the city, when Li Cunxiao appeared in sight with a smile on his face.

Of course Li Cunxiao knew the power of the bed crossbow made by Ma Jun.

"Brother Cunxiao's words are wrong. If the coalition forces don't come, the Marquis will naturally visit again." Meng Chen laughed and replied.

It is only a matter of time before this battle is won, but now that the morale of the army is stable and the morale is better, Meng Chen has no reason not to take the initiative to attack.

"My lord is wise!" Li Cunxiao patted a flattery, while Meng Chen smiled and pointed with his right hand.

"It's been so long since the news came back, His Majesty should feel at ease. Although the coalition forces have a large number of people, they are still not united. All of this is due to the scars left by the joint campaign against Dong."

Meng Chen said something to himself, then walked towards the city wall, put his hands on the battlements, stretched out his upper body and looked down carefully.

"Send someone to send a message to Yuan Shao. If you don't send someone to collect the corpse today, this Marquis will burn it."

"promise!"

In the coalition camp, Yuan Shao's face was pale, and even Cao Cao's face was gloomy and terrifying.

For the sake of this war, it is no longer necessary to continue it.

"Meng De, General Cao Ren was captured. I would like to express my deep regret." Yuan Shao spoke first, but he didn't finish his sentence, so Cao Cao was not in a hurry to answer.

"But the general heard that Meng Chen had to use this general's head to exchange for General Cao Ren..."

Having said that, Yuan Shao stopped talking and stared at Cao Cao, hoping to see through his thoughts at the moment.

"The leader thinks that Cao will act like this?" Cao Cao snorted coldly.

This kind of alienation method is like pediatrics, if Yuan Shao can't even see this kind of thing clearly, then he has really lived for so long in vain.

"Hahaha, brother Mengde, why did you say such a thing? How could I not be clear about such a low-level divorce plan." As soon as Cao Cao finished speaking, Yuan Shao suddenly changed his appearance.

Changing face is faster than flipping through a book, this kind of kung fu Yuan Shao is as close as fire!

Before Cao Cao could answer, Yuan Shao spoke again: "Meng De, the morale of the army is low now, especially at this time, we must unite as one, and we must not be suspicious of each other."

"What the leader said is absolutely true!"

Cao Cao said so, but he didn't think so in his heart.

Everyone said that Cao Cao was too suspicious, but in Cao Cao's view, Yuan Shao was the most suspicious one.

After such a thing happened, Cao Cao couldn't stay in Yuan Shao's tent any longer, so he made some excuses and left after rambling.

"My lord, Yuan Shao obviously doesn't trust us anymore! How about..." Cao Hong didn't finish the following words, but the meaning was already obvious.

"Trust? When did Yuan Shao trust others? He only believed in himself!" Cao Cao snorted coldly, apparently still angry.

"Ke Zixiao..."

"Zixiao will be fine, it's time to leave!" At this point, Cao Cao Mengde closed his eyes, and then heaved a long sigh.

Meng Chen may not be clear about what happened in the coalition army, but one thing is clear, that is, there is no trust between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao!

"Mr. Wenhe, how is the arrangement?"

"I will report to my lord that everything has been properly arranged, and Cao Ren can be released at any time?"

"Don't worry, we'll talk about it after dark!"

……

That day and night, when Cao Ren appeared in front of Cao Cao in ragged clothes, Cao Cao was so excited that he didn't say a word for a long time.

"My lord, a certain general..."

"Just come back, just come back!"

Cao Cao stepped forward and helped Cao Ren who was kneeling on the ground, the two almost hugged each other and cried!

But the next moment, Cao Cao suddenly woke up and said, "Not good!"

Just at this moment, a school lieutenant rushed in: "Report, my lord, Yuan Shao gathered his troops and came to the camp!"
