The Three Kingdoms: Starting from Inheriting Dong Zhuo's Foundation

He understood Xia Houyuan's worry, but it was not about himself.

They are not afraid of death.

He was just worried about the entire Xiahou family and the Cao family.

Suddenly, there was a rush of footsteps outside.

Cao Cao got up immediately.

"How? But there is news from Yuan Shao?"

After the soldier ran in, he knelt on the ground with a look of panic and anxiety.

When Cao Cao and Xia Houyuan saw it, their hearts skipped a beat.

Could it be that Yuan Shao was defeated?

He has an army of more than [-] Xu Rong!

"My lord, Dong Luo raided Chenliu. General Cao Hong was defeated and lost his camp. In the end, he fled into General Cao Ren's city with only 1 people."

This news, like thunder from the nine heavens, exploded in the minds of Cao Cao and Xia Houyuan instantly.

The eyes of the two people who exploded were dizzy.

"What did you say!"

Xia Houyuan became angry first, and grabbed the soldier.

"How could Dong Luo be in Chenliu!"

"It's in Chenliu!" The soldier cried sadly, "And now the soldiers are encircling Chenliu."

"Lying about the military situation, courting death!"

Xia Houyuan threw down the soldier, drew his sword from his waist, and was about to hack him to death.

But Cao Cao stopped him with one hand.

Xia Houyuan became anxious, "Master!"

Cao Cao shook his head, squinted his eyes very hard, and then opened them suddenly.

His face quickly paled.

At this moment, his head winds up.

But now I can't take care of the headache.

Cao Cao staggered two steps, his feet went limp, his body dropped, and he almost fell down completely.

Fortunately, Xia Houyuan helped him in time.

Cao Cao grabbed the soldier by the collar.

"Say, tell me clearly, what is going on?"

The soldier swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and his voice trembled a little.

Then he explained clearly the process of Dong Luo's surprise attack on Cao Hong, and finally Cao Hong was escorted and fled into Cao Ren City.

Holding the sword, Xia Houyuan stared at the soldier as intently as he looked at Dong Luo.

"My lord, that's all I know. They arrived in Dongjun, and you are not here, so I can only pass the news here."

Cao Cao's entire face turned pale, he pushed the soldier and flicked his sleeves.

"roll!"

"Here! Here!"

"My lord..." Xia Houyuan sadly supported Cao Cao who was standing unsteadily.

Cao Cao's chest rose and fell, he let out a long breath, and then broke away from Xia Houyuan's hand that was holding him.

"Dong Luo calculated so carefully, my defeat was not wronged, and Cao Hong's defeat was not wronged..."

As Cao Cao said, he took two steps forward, and suddenly his whole body softened and he fell down.

"¨My lord!"

Xia Houyuan exclaimed and caught Cao Cao.

"Ah!! My head hurts!"

Cao Cao became weak when he spoke.

"Dong Luo came out in full force, and all the brave generals came to deal with Cao Hong. Under such circumstances, Cao Hong was able to keep thousands of cavalry and 2 bowmen, and he did a good job; moreover, in Cao Ren City, mobilized usable soldiers There are at least [-] infantry defending the city."

"Including the cavalry that Cao Hong brought back, and the cavalry in the city add up to [-], Dong Luo can't break through Chen Liu so quickly. Now we go back, there is still time!"

"Hurry up, prepare the horse, no, prepare the cart, we must rescue Cao Ren and Cao Hong when we return to Yanzhou!"

……

Before Cao Cao withdrew, he sent someone to inform Yuan Shao.

Yuan Shao and others who were concentrating on preparing for the challenge were also terrified.

Dong Luo was actually near Luoyang from the beginning to the end!

Tian Feng was ashamed, "My lord, I'm guilty, and I was wrongly sentenced."

Yuan Shao (Li Wangzhao) shook his head and waved his hands, "It's not your fault, nor anyone else's fault, it's really Xiao Dong who is too insidious and cunning."

Before he heard the news, he was shaking like Cao Cao.

Thinking he was going to trick Dong Luo, he plotted against Dong Luo.

He was also waiting with great anticipation to defeat Dong Luo.

As a result, something like this came out.

"Yuan Hao, what should we do now?"

Tian Feng thought for a while, and then bowed heavily.

"My lord, please forgive me. I thought that competing with Xu Rong for the plains would not help the matter. We also moved the people to a small number. It is better to just give up the land north of the river and retreat to Qingzhou."

"At the same time, we are going to help Cao Cao. He has suffered more than us, and there are still nearly 3 people under siege."

"We can't sit idly by, otherwise if Cao Cao loses again, our pressure will be even greater!"

"Okay!" Yuan Shao suddenly became very decisive at this moment, "Withdraw immediately, I am sending 2 people to help Cao Cao!".

Chapter 194

After Chen Liu's urgent military situation came.

Regardless of his headache, Cao Cao immediately returned to Dongjun with his army.

And Yuan Shao simply gave up all the land north of Dahe and retreated into Taishan County.

They stationed troops in Tai'an and Licheng areas, guarding the riverside to guard against Xu Rong.

At the same time, he also ordered one of his subordinates, Lu Xiang, to lead [-] troops to support Cao Cao.

When the news spread, the world shook.

I thought that under such a situation, at the beginning, most people thought that Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and others should be able to hold a stalemate with Dong Luo for a long time.

In the end, Dong Luohui retreated temporarily.

Unexpectedly, Dong Luo was superior to the schemes of both sides.

Breaking Cao Hong's camp, forcing him into the city, and then approaching Chenliu.

When Cao Cao led the army, Rudong County, he transferred all the generals out.

It also included Zang Ba, who was newly surrendered when he attacked Lu Bu earlier.

After arriving in Jiyin, he was relieved to hear that Chen Liu was still in Cao Ren's hands.

"Stay in Jiyin first, and send someone to find out the details!"

Chen stay.

Le Jin still has a white cloth on his body.

At the moment, the three of them were looking at Dong Luojun's camp outside the city.

A little worried, but not very worried.

Because in addition to the 2 cavalry and the [-] archers brought back by Cao Hong, there are still more than [-] defenders in the city.

Dong Luo currently only has [-], and he came to Chenliu City.

Cao Ren was a little puzzled when he learned the number of soldiers Dong Luo had brought to Chenliu.

"It's strange, why Dong Luo only has 7 people? He attacked Yuan Shu earlier and captured some soldiers. When he returned to Luoyang, there were [-] troops guarded by Duan Yao and Dong Yue."

"Even if 14 people are assigned to Zhang Liao to guard Shouchun, he should still have at least [-]."

With an army of [-], he can only block two city gates now.

And it is impossible to press all of them like the previous attack on Shouchun.

Cao Hong's face was gloomy, and he snorted coldly after hearing this, "Maybe, he is thinking about some conspiracy again. Dong Luo is full of tricks, and I am not surprised to do anything."

His defeat this time was too inexplicable, but it was also expected.

The weapons in Dong Luo's army were already sharp, whether it was the divine arm crossbow or the eight-ox crossbow, and now there were more trebuchets with a longer distance.

Moreover, so many fierce generals were sent out.

Cao Ren smiled, "Okay, Zilian, you won't be wronged in this battle. Dong Luolian has brought out Yuwen Chengdu, Zhao Yun, and Feixiong Jun, and there are some other fierce generals behind. You will suffer, maybe you can’t immediately think of withdrawing the cavalry in the battalion like you.”

After saying this, Cao Hong's complexion improved a bit.

But it's not easy to get there.

The destruction of his camp meant that the main road he guarded was completely opened up by Dong Luo.

Dong Luo could send out cavalry at any time to raid Chenliu and various places in Dongjun, making it impossible to defend against.

"Well, if only I could be more cautious."

Cao Hong clenched his fist and hammered the city wall heavily.

Le Jin grasped the hilt of his sword, "The two generals don't need to be discouraged. Chenliu City has a strong wall, and Dong Luo can't break it so easily. The only thing to worry about now is why Dong Luo only has 7 people here, and the other tens of thousands People, where are you going?"

"Ambush the lord?" Cao Hong guessed.

Cao Ren nodded, "It's possible, I'll send a fast horse to tell my lord right away."

At the same time, the defense in the city was strengthened again, and people were ordered to prepare more sand, gravel and water.

He also ordered all the people to take yellow mud and spread yellow mud on the roof.

After Cao Hong said that there were long-distance and powerful throwing weapons in Dong Luo's army, he got ready.

Then he took big stones and blocked the two city walls blocked by Dong Luo with stones.

Cao Ren did this because he saw that there was enough food and grass in the city for the time being, so he dared to do so.

As Le Jin said.

Chenliu's walls are high, and with Cao Ren, Chenliu is indeed difficult to attack.

Outside of Chen Liu.

In Dong Luo's camp.

Dong Luo is discussing with Guo Jia, Xun You and others.

"Chenliu is indeed a fortified city, even worse than Shouchun. What's more different is that the guard Cao Ren is not Yuan Shu."

"Xiangguo, do you want to wait until Ma Chao of Yizhou returns with his troops, or transfer Zhang Liao to lead his troops here?"

Everyone, you speak my word.

"Ahem!" Dong Luo coughed lightly.

"Xingba, you should rush to Youzhou now."
