Never thought I would become the emperor

Chapter 141 Sishui Town

"Don't you still have General Yan Liangwen Chou? How can I, Cao Mengde, be alone?" Cao Cao turned around slowly and smiled coldly.

"Uh..." Yuan Shao's face was a little embarrassed, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

"Okay, don't bother President Yuan to come here, just come to see me, you'd better go back and organize the princes to continue to spend time and drink, forgive me for not accompanying you." Cao Cao said lightly with his hands clasped, and then strode out of the tent.

"Oh, Meng De, wait a minute."

Yuan Shao hastily called out and followed.

When he came outside, the [-] strong men of the family that Cao Cao had brought to the alliance had already lined up, and the tightly lined army immediately caught Yuan Shao's eyes. Although they were not equipped with the best equipment, they alone From the perspective of his spiritual outlook, he is definitely ranked among the princes.

"Big brother."

Cao Ren, who was standing at the forefront of the army, saw Cao Cao walking towards him, so he quickly pulled the white horse in his hand and said.

"Let's go." Cao Cao nodded calmly, and quickly got on his horse after receiving it.

"But." Cao Ren looked at Yuan Shao, who had been following behind, with an unnatural expression on his face, and deliberately gave Cao Cao a look.

Yuan Shao hurriedly took a step forward and pulled the reins of the white horse and said, "Meng De, the matter of attacking is not casually mentioned. I understand your feelings, but this matter needs to be discussed by everyone. You are so reckless. I’m afraid it will suffer a lot.”

"That's better than sitting here and doing nothing!" Cao Cao snorted coldly and grabbed the horse rope with one hand.

"go!"

Cao Cao yelled, rode his horse, and galloped past the barracks.

Cao Ren and Cao Hong looked at Yuan Shao with an ugly face, and then led the four thousand children of the family to evacuate in an orderly manner.

"oops."

Seeing Cao Cao gradually disappearing from his sight, Yuan Shao patted his legs regretfully.

Coming out of the allied forces, Cao Cao led the team all the way west, pointing directly at Sishui Town.

They were walking on the road that Sun Jian had walked on, and as soon as they entered the woods, they smelled the pungent smell of blood.

Along the way, everyone was terrified and frightened, and headed west along the blood river in the low-lying place. Accompanied by the corpses along the way, armors and swords scattered all over the place, Cao Cao and others looked extremely ugly.

"General Wentai seems to be defeated here." Cao Ren looked at the scattered corpses around, most of them were wearing white robes, and said after thinking for a while.

"According to the situation, it should be here." Cao Cao looked at the piles of corpses and said.Because the time from the battle has not passed very far, so that the corpses are still very new.

"Let the whole army stop, bury the corpses of Jiangdong's brothers, and bury their loyal bones!" Cao Cao said suddenly, then he got off his horse, walked to a corpse alone, and pulled out his sharp and smooth With his sword, he dug a big hole in the ground.

After everyone saw what Cao Cao did, they followed suit and buried all the corpses of those who had sacrificed their lives for the country in the soil one by one, so that no one would collect their bodies after they died.

Time has passed by minute by second. From the corpses on the ground to the graves now, Cao Cao built the last grave, slowly stepped back, and bowed down respectfully. present.

Cao Ren and others also saluted, and they all took off their military hats to pay high respect to these Jiangdong children who died in the woods.

After burying all their bodies, the army continued to move forward, but compared with before, their mood became more heavy and angry.

"Report! We are less than ten miles away from Sishui Town, and all the checkpoints have been occupied by Huaxiong's men. Our army can't move forward."

After a while, the sentinels in front suddenly sent a message. After more than a day of progress, they finally arrived at Sishui Town ten miles away.There is a long Sishui River here, but because of the weather, solid ice has formed, and the creatures on both sides of the river are withered, and there is no life at all.

Cao Cao's eyes followed the long Sishui River, all the way to Sishui Town in the distance, and saw Hua Xiong stationed his camp on the west side of the river, extending into the town, occupying a position that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. .

Sishui Town has been a strategic location that military strategists must contend for since ancient times. Although it is small in scale, it is very important in its strategic position.He is not only the first line of defense of Hulao Pass, the most powerful pass in the world, but also the first gateway from Luoyang to the Guandong.

Because of this, the defense construction of Sishui Town is more important. As early as the Warring States Period, Sishui Town had already begun to build some preliminary defense devices. After hundreds of years of development, the entire Sishui Town has become It became a small city.In addition, his face is leaning against the Sishui River, and his back is leaning against the continuous mountains, which further guarantees its defensive effect.

If you want to attack Sishui Town by force, you must have more than five times the number of troops.

Cao Cao secretly thought that with the 4000 men in his hands, it was absolutely impossible to storm into Sishui Town by force, and such a reckless approach would only lead to death.

Therefore, he must come up with a good plan to prevent Hua Xiong from taking advantage of Sishui Town's advantageous position.

"Zixiao, how do you think Hua Xiong is better than you?"

Cao Cao suddenly turned his head to look, and said to Cao Ren.

Cao Ren shook his head, and said honestly, "I don't know, I've never been compared."

"Well, how about you lead the troops to challenge Hua Xiong later?" Cao Cao asked.

Cao Ren was immediately taken aback and said in disbelief: "Brother, don't you want to attack by force?"

"No, I just want you to help me with one thing."

"whats the matter?"

"You'll find out later."

"What? Cao Ren is coming to challenge me?"

In the main hall where the meeting was held, Hua Xiong looked at the sentry in surprise. He had just arranged his defenses and suddenly received news that Cao Cao was going to lead troops to attack Sishui Town, and there were only 4000 people coming, which almost made him laugh to death.

However, this time when Cao Ren came to challenge him, Hua Xiong couldn't figure it out. Chaoren is Cao Cao's right-hand man. If Cao Ren dies, it will definitely be a major blow to Cao Cao. Then Cao Cao Is it that stupid to make such a decision?
Hua Xiong felt a little puzzled in his heart, and felt that this matter was a bit strange.

"Hahahaha, this Cao Cao acted without authorization. It seems that he wants to take the credit from the Allies." Hua Xiong's adjutant couldn't help laughing after hearing the news.

Another soldier echoed and said: "I think he is eager to steal the limelight from the Allied forces, and came to give credit to the general."
