I am the Crown Prince of the Three Kingdoms

"Yeah." Cheng Yu nodded and agreed.

Immediately, Cheng Yu went to find a carriage, and the two quietly sent Cao Cao to the Chinese army's tent, and sent someone to find a doctor to treat Cao Cao.

Volume 169 Chapter 1349: Chapter 674 The bad news is too sudden (2)

As Guo Jia said, Cao Cao's situation is not too serious, it's just that he was too sad for a while.Under the treatment of doctors, he got better soon.

Under the expectant eyes of Cheng Yu, Guo Jia, and Chen Qun, they opened their eyes.

"Duke Ming." The three hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

Cao Cao's eyes were a little dazed at first, and then he muttered to himself, "Could it be that this old man is dreaming?"

This time, Cao Cao really couldn't accept the blow.I hope I am really dreaming.But Cao Cao glanced at the faces of Cheng Yu, Guo Jia, and Chen Qun, and he woke up himself, smiled wryly, and said, "It happened, it just happened. It can never be erased."

"Ming Gong's mourning." Cheng Yu, Guo Jia, and Chen Qun were silent for a moment, and then persuaded in unison.

"Even if it's mourning, we have to wait until later." Cao Cao said with a wry smile.Immediately, Cao Cao was silent for a moment, thinking about what to do in the future.For Cao Cao, Xia Houyuan was not just a friend who grew up with him, but also a right-hand man.

It is formed with Cao Ren, Cao Chun, Cao Hong, Xiahou Dun, the absolute confidant.In today's troubled times, people's hearts are changing very seriously.Why can Cao Cao be defeated repeatedly?It is because of these generals of the Cao family and the Xiahou family.

These people will not betray him and can be used with confidence.But with the fall of Cao Ren, this force has been greatly weakened.Now add Xia Houyuan.It's really a talent shortage.

There is only one Xiahou Dun who can still preside over the overall situation. Although Cao Chun's ability is first-class in the world and he is very good at commanding cavalry, he is only a cavalry general after all.Cao Hong was even more unbearable, he was brave and ruthless, he was just a fierce general, not a good talent.

Xia Houyuan's death in battle was Cao Cao's personal loss.But the fire at Guandu was the loss of the entire Cao family.The place where it rose up was burned down by people.It was definitely a major blow to Cao Jun's morale.In addition, the [-] army was only recently subdued, and I am afraid it is even more popular.

On the contrary, the morale of the Xudu Han Dynasty was definitely boosted and they defended the city.In fact, he had already lost this battle.

It doesn't make any sense to fight any longer, only to go back to Yanzhou, completely digest the [-] troops, and then regroup.

But Cao Cao felt reconciled. He had a cloud of fierce generals, and his army was close to 20. He failed to besiege Xudu and Dong Cheng, but lost troops and generals.

"I'm not reconciled." Cao Cao spat out this sentence with reluctance.

Guo Jia, Cheng Yu, and Chen Qun looked at each other, and after a moment of silence, Guo Jia said: "Ming Gong, the wings of the Han Dynasty are really hard now, and it is difficult to get rid of them quickly. Regroup, first stabilize Yanzhou and Xuzhou, and then occupy Qingzhou. With the power of the three states, let’s talk about cracking the ground first.”

Guo Jia also had no choice but to lose a great opportunity this time, and it was really hard to come back.

"Is it true that this is the end?" Cao Cao was disappointed when he heard the words, and he was even more unwilling.

"If General Cao Chun can kill Dong Cheng and return, it might boost morale and change the situation again." Guo Jia thought for a while after hearing this, and then gave a plan that was not a plan.

They still have a tiny chance.

"Tens of thousands of cavalry are chasing Dong Cheng, I believe in Zihe's ability." Cao Cao's eyes lit up when he heard the words, as if he had pinned all his hopes, he nodded without hesitation and said.

"That's all."

Guo Jia nodded, looked at each other with Cheng Yu and Chen Qun, and sighed.

Now that the problem in front of him was temporarily solved, Cao Cao couldn't help thinking of Xia Houyuan's death.In the next few days, Cao Cao was in sorrow.

Volume 169 Chapter 1350: Chapter 675 Cao Cao's Oath (1)

Chapter 675 Cao Cao's Oath

On this day, Xia Houyuan's body was escorted back by soldiers.

Cao Cao led the generals in the army and went out of the camp to meet him.Regardless of whether Xia Houyuan was responsible for the death of six thousand elite soldiers and the fall of Guandu, Xia Houyuan did die in a fierce battle.Contributed to the Cao family.

At the gate of the camp, in the eyes of all the generals, Cao Cao ordered to open the coffin.

Several soldiers immediately opened the coffin, and Cao Cao saw Xia Houyuan's headless body inside.The corpse has been treated to a certain extent to ensure that it will not rot in a short period of time, but it still exudes a corpse smell.

Cao Cao and the generals behind him were silent for a while.Immediately, Cao Cao stretched out his hand and patted Xia Houyuan's shoulder lightly.

"Don't worry, Miaocai. My brother will avenge you." After talking to himself for a while, Cao Cao took a deep breath and shouted loudly, "This old man swears that he will break through Xudu and eradicate the Han Dynasty. Kill Liu Xie and his son, and destroy Dong Chengman's family."

This roar was full of Cao Cao's anger, the fall of Xu Du, the loss of hegemony, the betrayal of Xun Yu, and the deaths of Cao Ren and Xia Houyuan successively.At this moment, the anger in Cao Cao's heart completely broke out.He wanted to wash the Liu clan with blood, and the Dong clan to comfort Cao Ren, Xia Houyuan's spirit in heaven.

"The last general will surely fight for Duke Ming and break through Xudu." The generals bowed down in unison.

"Thank you, generals." Cao Cao took a deep breath and raised his fists in salute.After making this oath full of vengeance towards Liu Xie and his son and Dong Cheng, Cao Cao's emotions were vented to a certain extent.

"Don't bury it, we'll talk about it when you get the head back." After Cao Cao gave this order, he stopped and stood, looking east.The current Cao Chun should be chasing Dong Cheng. As time goes by, Dong Cheng's war horse will definitely suffer heavy losses due to the wear and tear of the horse's hoof.Without supplements, one cannot become a cavalryman.

Dong Cheng didn't go back to Xudu, instead he galloped outside, seemingly high-spirited, but he was also seeking his own death.

Of course, Cao Cao also knew that his horses would also suffer heavy losses.But as long as Dong Cheng can be beheaded, the morale lost by Cao's army can be restored, and the war against Xudu can be launched immediately, Cao Cao is willing to sacrifice everything for this.

.. ......

Because outside the city of Xudu, Cao Jun is everywhere.The spies from the Han Dynasty had a difficult time moving, so it took a few days for the news to reach Xudu.

The Imperial Palace, in the side hall of the Eastern Palace.

Liu Feng sat on the throne, and below him was Jiang Wan who came in to report the news.Now that Jiang Wan is working as a minister at the Shangshutai, Liu Feng has not received Jiang Wan in private for several days, but he is also very concerned about Jiang Wan's situation. Currently, Jiang Wan is living a fulfilling and busy life.

The so-called gold always shines, and Jiang Wan's ability is placed there.After entering Shangshutai, he quickly became Shangshuling Xun Yu's right-hand man. While he is busy, he should be very satisfied.

However, today's Liu Feng did not pay attention to these.After Jiang Wan finished reporting, Liu Feng asked in amazement: "General Cheqi really killed Xia Houyuan? And also captured Guandu?"

"That's right." Jiang Wan said with a smile when he heard the words, and then Jiang Wan said: "I heard that Cao Cao was very angry. Not long ago, Xia Houyuan's coffin returned to Cao Jun's camp. I swear, I will settle accounts after the autumn, punish the Han Dynasty, and destroy the chariots and cavalry generals."

"Ambition is commendable, but he must be able to do it. If he can't do it, it will always be a slogan. It can only show that Cao Cao is incompetent." Liu Feng was not angry when he heard the words, but sneered.

"The rejuvenation of the Han Dynasty is already unstoppable." Jiang Wan felt that it made sense, and said with a smile.

"Hehe." Liu Feng chuckled, really happier.Not only did Dong Cheng remember, but he also remembered that if Zhao Yun hadn't been there, he would have been killed by Xia Houyuan.From a personal point of view, getting rid of Xia Houyuan was far, even more joyful than killing Cao Ren.

I really want to take a look at the head of the thief after Xiahou.Liu Feng thought vindictively.After a long time, Liu Feng came to his senses, remembered something, and asked Jiang Wan, "Gong Yan said just now that General Cheqi was heading east to the Central Plains. And Cao Chun led his troops to chase General Cheqi?"

"Exactly." Jiang Wan said with a smile.He is also a confidant, so he naturally knows the purpose of Liu Feng's question.

"This fellow has fallen for a trick. Our old general, maybe after beheading Xia Houyuan, he will be able to achieve his original goal of leaving the city. He will defeat Cao Jun's iron cavalry." Liu Feng said with a smile.

"With the benefit of the horseshoe, there is a lot to do." Jiang Wan smiled even more when he heard this, and nodded.

"Xiahouyuan was beheaded and Guandu fell. Cao's army must have a high morale. If the iron cavalry is invincible in the world, if the tiger and leopard cavalry are partly killed by the chariot general, then Cao Cao will really have no face left. Just give Gu a year If it is relaxed, Gu will be able to gain a foothold. Even if Cao Cao's cavalry comes again, Gu will be able to resist." Liu Feng let out a long breath, looking forward to it in his heart.

Jiang Wan nodded in agreement.Immediately, the monarch and his ministers talked about some things again.Because Jiang Wan was relatively busy, he left soon.

The relaxation and joy of Liu Fengjun and his ministers is just a microcosm of Xu Du's interior. Except for a few ministers, almost all the soldiers, common people, generals, and ministers feel very happy, and they already have a premonition that the war will be far away.

.. ......

Whether it is Cao Cao or Liu Feng, they all have absolute confidence in their own cavalry.And Cao Chun, the commander of Cao Jun's tens of thousands of troops, is also very confident in his cavalry.Dong Cheng, the chariot general, is also confident in his cavalry.
