After dawn, when the situation became clear, Yu Jin led his troops out of the camp. While fighting the Xiliang army, he gathered scattered soldiers everywhere on the battlefield. When the generals saw his flag, they also moved closer, and then found that they were "trapped in the camp" I was fighting hard by the river, so I rushed over to support!

Zhang Xiu was unable to attack for a long time, and his subordinates suffered heavy casualties. Now Cao Jun's reinforcements have rushed over. In order to prevent being pinched from front to back, Xiliang soldiers finally retreated like a tide...

"Hello, Prime Minister!"

"The prime minister is shocked!"

By the river, after the generals met Cao Cao, they immediately came forward to greet him. They all looked ashamed, but fortunately they came back. Cao Cao immediately ordered to set up a camp by the river again, and then sent out cavalry, Gather up the defeated soldiers everywhere, and gather the troops again!

In the morning, Guo Jia and Cheng Yu ran back unscathed. Although these two have no martial arts skills, they have high IQs. When the camp caught fire last night, they did not choose to break through. They couldn't get out anyway. I found a remote corner, got some more blood, wiped it on my face, and lay down on the ground pretending to be a dead body!

Although it’s a bit ugly, it’s absolutely practical. You fight your battle, and I pretend I’m dead. These two have a good mentality. In the end, they fell asleep among the dead. When they woke up, the sky was bright and the battle situation was stable. When he got down, he ran out to look for Cao Cao's traces, and finally came to the river safely!

Therefore, charging depends on bravery, escaping depends on wisdom, and fighting is always a game for smart people, because fools die early and are eliminated!

Immediately afterwards, the three brothers Cao Pi, Cao Zhang, and Cao Zhi also came back. After rushing out of the camp, they did not continue to escape, because their two legs could not run against the enemy's four horseshoes, so the three brothers hid in a grass In Wali, Xiliang soldiers were busy chasing and killing Cao Jun. No one thought that there were three live treasures hidden under their noses. Therefore, they were safe and sound!

When father and son met, they naturally cried a lot. Cao Cao almost lost his own life last night, so there are three young sons there. In the army of thousands of horses, people trampled on horses. I thought the three of them were doomed. I didn't expect to run back unscathed, and Cao Cao finally let go of half of his hanging heart. God bless you!

It is not terrible to lose a battle, and it is nothing to lose some soldiers and horses. As long as the civil servants and generals are still there, and the sons are safe, Cao Cao has the confidence to regroup and fight again in the future, and he will surely win!

Afterwards, all the troops came back one by one. Although the loss was not small, they were not injured. Even Xu Chu returned to the camp with battle injuries all over his body. He bravely fought his way out of the ten thousand horse army and returned safely!

After the last check, everyone came back, except for the lack of the eldest son Cao Ang, which made everyone's hearts hang again. What an accident, that was an earthquake!

"Hurry up, bring Zixiu back quickly. If you want to see people alive, you want to see corpses!" Cao Cao gritted his teeth and issued an order. He will never give up even a fraction of hope!

"promise!"

The generals did not dare to be negligent, and each led his men and horses to search repeatedly on the battlefield. Every camp, every grassy depression, carefully searched...

However, the battle last night was too tragic. Cao Jun lost at least 3 to [-] horses. There are corpses everywhere in the wilderness. Traces are tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack!

"My lord, where are you?"

583. Chapter 583 First Prime Minister

"Report! ~ Lord Prime Minister, the eldest son... he is back!" At noon, a soldier suddenly ran into the big tent with a flustered expression and cold sweat on his forehead!

"Zixiu is back? Let him..." Hearing the news, Cao Cao was about to stand up in surprise, but just halfway up, he sat back down again, breaking out in a cold sweat!

During the fierce battle last night, Cao Cao was shot in the thigh by an arrow. Because it was important to escape for his life, he just wrapped it up briefly. If you dare to strike lightly, if you hurt the Prime Minister's muscles and bones, it will be a capital offense!

"Elder Young Master, Eldest Young Master..." The soldier touched his head to the ground, his voice trembling, but he couldn't say a single word!

"Zixiu...", who is Cao Cao, immediately understood. According to common sense, if Cao Ang returns safely, he will definitely come to see his father as soon as possible. Why should a soldier come to report? So the answer is only One... Cao Ang came back, but he didn't come back alive!

"Where is my son now?"

"Just outside the gate of the camp, it was sent back by a Xiliang envoy!"

"Messengers from Xiliang?... This is to test the old man's falsehood!" Cao Cao clenched his fists tightly, his voice was as cold as ice, but his face was as calm as water, with no waves visible!

When most people hear the news of the death of their beloved son, they cry bitterly and break their spirits, but Cao Cao can't do it. He is the prime minister of the Han Dynasty and the commander-in-chief of the three armies first, and then he is a father. Crying bitterly is the father's choice, isn't it? A 'superior' choice!

"Prime Minister, leave this matter to your subordinates!" Cheng Yu took a step forward and took the initiative to take over the matter. Now that Cao Cao was wounded by an arrow and lost his beloved son, he was extremely exhausted. To these, I am afraid it is not good for the war!

"No need, if the old man avoids seeing you, it will make Zhang Xiu feel suspicious. Pass down the order, beat the drum and raise the tent, and summon the Xiliang envoy. As for the arrow wound on the old man's leg?" Cao Cao gritted his teeth with a cold look in his eyes. , grabbed the exposed tail feathers, and pulled it out with a 'poof'...

There was a barb on the arrow cluster, and a piece of flesh was torn off immediately, and the blood spurted out. The frightened guards quickly blocked the wound with white medicine, and wrapped it with fine linen... From the beginning to the end, Cao Cao was silent. Sitting there quietly, without saying a word, as if it wasn't him who was hurt, but someone else, who knew that at this moment, his heartache was far greater than the pain!

"Hehe, are you trying to test the truth, then come on, let's see... who is false and who is true!"

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

"Boom! ~~ Boom!"

"The Prime Minister has an order to send the envoys of the Xiliang Army to see him!"

"The prime minister has an order to send the envoys from Xiliang to see him..."

Hu Che'er is a mighty general in the Xiliang Army, and also the commander of Zhang Xiu's own soldiers. He is not afraid of death, quick-witted and flexible. The task of testing Cao Jun's fiction and reality, the most important thing is to see if Cao Cao is alive or dead!

In the scuffle last night, many people were killed and injured by both sides. Now, taking the opportunity of returning the remains, I just want to check the internal situation of Cao Cao. If Cao Cao is really dead or seriously injured, then Zhang Xiu will immediately kill him. Mobilize troops and attack aggressively. If Cao Cao is safe and the morale of the army is still stable, then we have to make another plan!

"Hu Che'er, the envoy of the Xiliang Army, please see the Prime Minister!" As soon as he entered the big tent, Hu Che'er bowed and saluted. Even though they defeated Cao Jun last night, the awe of Cao Cao in his heart did not diminish. , Yu Wei is still here!

"Excuse me, the general!"

"Thank you, Prime Minister!"

After seeing the ceremony, Hu Che'er looked up and saw Cao Cao was wearing a big red robe and a golden leaf armor, sitting majesticly on the handsome seat, his eyes were slightly closed, his expression was as calm as water, and he couldn't tell at all that he had just lost the battle. look!

"In a scuffle last night, I accidentally 'injured' the prime minister's eldest son. General Zhang couldn't bear it, and ordered the villain to return the body, so that the eldest son can be buried as soon as possible!"

While talking, Hu Che'er waved his hand, and four big men from Xiliang brought in a high-quality mahogany coffin without a cover. Inside was the eldest son Cao Ang, whose body had been carefully cleaned and replaced with a brand new coffin. No obvious scars can be seen on the robe, so I don't know, I thought the eldest son fell asleep inside!

"General Zhang has a heart, but there is still one thing I don't understand. After submitting to the court, why did the general surrender and rebel again? It's not a man who turned his back on his words, right?"

Cao Cao's expression was as usual, from his face, there was no emotion at all, but when the coffin was carried into the big tent, the eyes of those slender eyes dimmed, as if tears flashed, and then disappeared soon Without a trace!

"Your Excellency, the Prime Minister will know about this matter by asking his own clan's children, but most likely, they will all go down to accompany the eldest son. Here is a letter. Please read it over, the Prime Minister, and know everything for yourself!" Hu Che'er took out a letter from his bosom, it was Zhang Xiu's own handwriting, and it said, "My lord, Prime Minister! '

When the two armies are at war, don’t behead envoys and don’t read letters. This is the most basic rule. It has been observed by the world for thousands of years. This is also the reason why Hu Che’er dared to come to Cao Ying. Otherwise, he would kill his son and send him back. Corpse, isn't that courting death?

A guard stepped forward to take the letter, and after a little inspection, it was confirmed that there was nothing harmful, so it was sent to the Shuai case. Cao Cao received the letter in his hand, and read it in detail, three times in a row, in silence!

"In addition, tell the Prime Minister one more thing. My wife was also found in the camp, but she has hanged herself to death!" Hu Che'er's expression was also dark. The battle last night was actually a loss for both sides. He lost his son, Zhang Xiu also lost his aunt, and each of them lost so many soldiers and horses. These could have been avoided!

"Phew, the family is not strict, the discipline is negligent, this is the fault of the old man!" Cao Cao did not shirk responsibility, the mistake is the mistake, he still has this responsibility, as long as he remembers the lesson well, don't make the same mistake next time That's enough, "However, there is still one thing I don't know about the old man. In the battle last night, General Zhang's command was very clever, and the chain was intertwined. It almost killed the old man. I don't know who is planning for him behind it?"

After the defeat, Cao Cao had been worrying about one person and thinking about one thing. The person who was worried was the eldest son Cao Ang. Now the result has come to fruition. Black hand, who is it?

"Attacking the camp in the middle of the night and setting fire to the Chinese army is all planned by Mr. Jia Xu!" Hu Che'er did not hide anything, and when he mentioned Jia Xu, even his heart trembled three times. The Liang army is both respectful and fearful!

"Jia Xu?" Cao Cao's eyes turned, and he remembered the name deeply in his heart. The person who is enough to count himself in is definitely not an idle person. He must carefully investigate the origin of this person. If there is a chance, he must Take it for your own use!

After chatting for a few more words, Cao Cao ordered that Hu Che'er be entertained with a grand feast, and that all the generals should accompany him. During the banquet, Cao Cao chatted and laughed happily, drank wine and ate meat, and he didn't feel the pain of losing his son at all. After toasting a glass of wine in person, Hu Che'er was so shocked that he bowed his head again and again to thank him, not daring to look up!

The banquet went on for more than an hour, and the guests and the host enjoyed themselves. After Hu Che'er saluted again, he said goodbye and left. He checked carefully, "Cao Cao is not injured, his mind is stable, and the barracks is also in order. All the troops are resting and preparing for battle. There are no loopholes at all, this information must be reported back!"

When Hu Che'er left the big tent, Cao Cao couldn't stand anymore. If Xu Chu hadn't stepped forward to help him, he almost fell to the ground. The blood spurted, the whole trouser legs were soaked, and the boots were full of blood. During the banquet, Cao Cao endured the severe pain with amazing perseverance, and his determination was so strong!

After cleaning and changing the dressing, after a long time, the wound was finally re-bandaged. Because of excessive blood loss, Cao Cao's face was pale, his lips were blue and his breathing was not smooth, and he looked completely crumbling!

"Please take care of yourself, Prime Minister!"

"Soldiers of the three armies cannot live without a prime minister!"
