Great Wei Nengchen

On the top of Xiapi city, there was a sound of howling wolves, and Cao Jun was finally repelled. As for going out of the city to pursue, they still have the strength!

501. Chapter 501 Fighting for another 20 days

A big defeat, a real big defeat. Since the rise of troops in Yanzhou, Cao Jun's soldiers have gone through countless battles, and they are basically invincible and invincible. Thinking of being beaten to death in the small city of Xiapi!

The morale of Cao Jun's camp was low, and the wounded soldiers wailed constantly. After this tragic battle, the casualties of the soldiers reached as high as [-]. Such a huge loss, although it did not hurt the bones, was enough to hurt the heart!

The casualties of the generals were also heavy, because they were all at the front and took the lead. The general Xiahou Dun was shot in the eye by the loss. After being rescued by the doctor, although his life was saved, one eye was gouged out and he became a "one-eyed dragon". , and the difference from the original time and space is that the left eye was originally blind, but now it is the right eye, so he also got a nickname in the army~~'Blind Xiahou! '

Under the heavy casualties, the morale of the army inevitably fluctuated. For a while, rumors spread everywhere in the Cao camp, and the soldiers whispered to each other, and the rumors were true!

"Xiapi is the masterpiece of the great general Han Xin, protected by the heroic spirit of the 'Soldier Immortal' in the dark, how can ordinary soldiers and horses attack it~~

"Diao Chan is the reincarnation of a demon, transformed into a nine-tailed fox, and has lived for hundreds of years. Using the 'Blood Curse Dafa' to summon Yin soldiers to help in the battle, those guarding the city today are actually not living people, but dead people!

Did you know that the arrow that hit General Xiahou was shot by Lu Bu himself. It was two hundred feet away, and the arrow hit it. ..."

After learning about the situation, Cao Cao immediately issued a strict order in the army, and those who fabricate rumors...beheaded; but rumors, the more you suppress them, the more they spread, and the more people believe them, and finally even some soldiers in the army The generals were shaken and had the idea of ​​​​withdrawing their troops!

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… …………

"Withdraw troops? Or not to withdraw troops?"

In the middle of the night, in the big tent of the Chinese army, a secret military meeting is in progress. The participants are all the core figures of Cao Ying. The topic is whether the battle of Xiapi will continue!

The atmosphere of the meeting was very heavy, and needles could be heard quietly in the big tent. Cao Cao's face was livid, Xiao Yi's face was dark, Guo Jia's face was as red as a red rosy cloud while pouring wine non-stop. He bowed his head and said nothing, feeling even more uneasy in his heart!

"The failure of the siege this time was all due to the old man's underestimation of the enemy. Although the 'Tiger Dove' was besieged in the city, it was inevitable that it would hurt people!" At the beginning of the meeting, Cao Cao directly took all the responsibility for the defeat on himself. , this responsibility, no one but him can bear it!

"It's all because of my incompetence, and the Prime Minister was humiliated!" Everyone fell to the ground to plead guilty, but they let out a long sigh of relief in their hearts!

One must be held accountable for a defeat, and no matter who is responsible for such a big defeat, it is enough to drink a pot. Fortunately, Cao Cao did not shirk his fault, but took it on himself, and the credit goes to his subordinates. Myself, the wise Lord!

Everyone was relieved, and the atmosphere of the meeting became lively. They expressed their views on the current situation. Some advocated to boost morale and attack again with the momentum of mourning soldiers, while others thought that a strong attack was not the best strategy and left some soldiers to besiege the city. Therefore, it is safe to retreat the army to Xuchang!

"Your Excellency, 20 troops are trapped under the fortified city, and the daily consumption is huge. Now it is a spring famine, the treasury is insufficient, and the transportation of food and grass is extremely difficult. If the battle cannot be resolved quickly, it is better to withdraw the troops as soon as possible to avoid injury. vitality!"

Xun Yu's hair is almost graying recently. In order to supply Zizhong for the army, he has toiled day and night, scraping together to raise food and grass, and also taking care of the people's spring plowing. Much more!

"In addition to food and grass, the reaction of the princes is also worrying. Our army is frustrated. I'm afraid some people with ulterior motives are about to move!" Xun You's eyes have been dark recently. In addition to helping to transport food and grass, he is also in charge of monitoring The dynamics of the princes, I really dare not be careless at all!

Cao Jun won consecutive battles before, and his troops were unstoppable. Naturally, those princes were honest and did not dare to make any moves, but now it is different. The defeat in Xiapi broke the myth of Cao Jun's invincibility. What will happen to those princes? think?

Is it to continue to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight?Or will it be worse?

Especially Yuan Shao from Hebei, and Sun Ce from Jiangdong, both are ambitious people, they will never miss such a good opportunity, sending troops to attack Xuchang, or coming to Xuzhou to snatch ripe fruits, they will definitely do such a thing ah!

Xun Yu and Xun You took the lead, and the rest of the counselors and generals spoke one after another. Most of them agreed to withdraw the troops and return to Xuchang to recuperate. The general guarding is enough!

As for the candidate, it is naturally the governor-Xiao Yi, without a doubt, leaving 'Greedy Wolf' behind, and dealing with 'Tiger Dove', he is absolutely suppressed and unable to move, everyone is very confident about this!

"What you said is a safe strategy!" Cao Cao nodded in approval, and asked his three sons to toast Xun Yu, Xun You and others to show his condolences, but he didn't mention the withdrawal of troops. Think otherwise!

Everyone understood in their hearts, and turned their attention to Cao Cao's literary and military. From the beginning of the meeting, they did not say a word, and the opinions of these two people are undoubtedly very important!

"At this point, we can only make progress, we can't retreat an inch, and it is absolutely impossible to withdraw troops!" A cold light flashed in Xiao Yi's eyes, and he immediately suppressed everyone's discussions, especially those generals, whose attitudes immediately began to change. 'Horse Head' role!

Thousands of horses are galloping, as long as the "head horse" looks for the right direction, even if there are mountains of swords and flames in front, the whole herd of horses will go forward indomitably. This is true for horses and soldiers!

"The battle between the two armies is all about courage. Although our army suffered heavy casualties, Lu Bu never got any benefits. Didn't you see that he even sent his wife to the battlefield? Both sides are at the end of their strength. Let's see who can grit their teeth, give the opponent the last punch, and use all their strength to conquer Xiapi, and win or lose, otherwise, once the tiger returns to the mountain, it will be a big disaster!"

"It is advisable to be brave enough to chase the poor, not to be known as the overlord!" Xiao Yi has always believed in the quotations of the Red Dynasty Taizu.

"What Xiao Lang said is very true, this battle must not be abandoned halfway!" As a bosom friend, Guo Jia immediately spoke in support!

"Lü Bu is at the end of his rope. If we don't capture him at this time, it will be a serious disaster if he recovers. Once he breaks free and joins forces with Yuan Shao in the north and Sun Ce in the south, our army is bound to face the enemy. Don't say yes at that time. The land of Xuzhou is hard to protect, I am afraid that Xuchang will also be destroyed by the flames of war!"

For a fierce tiger, either don't provoke it, or beat it to death with a stick, or you will suffer from it in the future!

One article and one military will lead the battle, and the rest will withdraw. There is a huge gap between the widows and the few. Now it depends on how Cao Cao makes a decision!

"All the soldiers of the army grit their teeth and persist for another 20 days. If you still can't take Lu Bu down, retreat immediately!" Cao Cao thought for a while, and finally stretched out two fingers, "But within these 20 days, who dares to say 'retire' Two words, immediately beheaded and unforgiven!"

"No... let's work together and fight for another 20 days!"

Everyone had discussed and decided, and when they were about to go down to prepare, Xu Chu suddenly walked in, "Report to the Prime Minister, Lu Bu sent an envoy to come to the army to discuss peace!"

"Messenger? Negotiating peace?... Hujiu, you can't take it anymore!" Cao Cao sneered and waved his hand, "Please!"

The ones who came were Xu Si and Wang Kai, both counselors under Lv Bu and well-known eloquent scholars in Xuzhou. After entering the account, they immediately turned over and bowed down.

"Marquis Wen sent two gentlemen here, what's the matter?" Cao Cao remained expressionless, and regained his former majesty as a prime minister of the Han Dynasty!

"I'm here to reconcile the two families. I also hope that the prime minister will treat the common people as the common people, so as to avoid the suffering of swords and soldiers, and shake hands to make peace!"

"Oh? If Marquis Wen is willing to go out of the city and surrender, it will be the best. The old man will definitely go to the court to protect his prosperity and wealth for the rest of his life, and his future will be worry-free!"

"Hehe, the Prime Minister was just joking. In today's battle, both armies were bleeding like rivers. If the fight continues, I'm afraid no one will win!" The siege of 20 troops is their biggest capital!

"Marquis Wen has something to say. He is willing to share the land of Xuzhou equally with the prime minister, to help each other, and never betray. In addition, Marquis Wen has a beloved daughter who is willing to betroth the prime minister's son. The two families will become good friends of Qin and Jin, and they will rule the world together!"

"Hiss! Hiss!..." There was a gasp in the big tent, and then many people showed joy. If the Cao and Lu families got married, it would be a good result for the current war, not to mention There is still half of Xuzhou's dowry, but I don't know if I will choose the son of the Cao family, Cao Pi?Cao Zhang?Or Cao Zhi?

"Hehe, I appreciate the kindness of Marquis Wen!" Cao Cao nodded with a smile, and then suddenly changed the topic, "The five counties of Xuzhou have all been in the hands of the old man, and they can be divided equally. As for Lu Bu, tell him, Take off the armor, leave the city, and surrender, such a marriage matter can be discussed, otherwise, the day the army breaks through the city, they will all be wiped out and no dogs will be left behind!"

"This..., Lord Prime Minister, please think again. There are still tens of thousands of soldiers in Xiapi City, and the food and grass can last for a year. If the fight continues, I am afraid that both sides will suffer. If other princes have malicious intentions, I am afraid that Xu Chang will be uneasy... "Xu Si and Wang Kai had been complacently waiting to be the matchmakers of the two families, but unexpectedly they encountered a big setback, and became rude in their words.

"The old man has been thinking for a long time, how can he do the stupid thing of letting the tiger go back to the mountain!"

"So, when I leave, I will definitely bring back exactly what the prime minister said!"

"Bring it back?... Haha, I'm afraid you two won't be able to go back!" Cao Cao held the Yitian sword in his hand, his eyes showed murderous intent, "The morale of the old man's army is low, and I am trying to use the heads of the two to boost morale, but there is no hope." Be stingy!"

"what……"

502. Chapter 502 If you have a confidant in this life, you will not be lonely!

In the middle of the night, in Xiapi City, Lu Bu was sitting in his mansion and sighing, his resolute face was full of sorrow, but he was at the end of his battle, fighting in the daytime, although he desperately repelled Cao's attack, the defenders also suffered heavy losses. The casualties were at least [-], accounting for one-fifth of Xiapi's entire force!

Cao's army has 20 people, and there is a steady stream of follow-up supplements. Even if it is damaged more, it is not injured at all, but Lu Bu is different. , if the war continues, the end will inevitably be one dead and one injured, the one injured is Cao Cao outside the city, and the one who died can only be Lu Bu!

"The general is worried about the war?" The fragrant wind wafted, and Diao Chan, who was wearing a bright red pomegranate dress, walked in, holding a wooden tray with a jug of fine wine and a few dishes of side dishes on it!

"It's really hard work for you on the battlefield today!" All things are born, and one thing descends one thing, and Diao Chan is Lu Bu's biggest lifeblood!

"Hehe, the skills that the concubine has learned are finally put to use today. Why bother to have them? Besides, it is the concubine's luck and destiny to be able to live and die with the general!"

"It is the greatest luck for Lv Bu to meet Diao Chan in this life. Even if he dies without regret, come, I will offer a toast to my wife!" Lv Bu suddenly felt that the heavens treated him well. Now trapped in the lonely city, but with the company of "the most beautiful woman in the world", the hero is not lonely!
