Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Li Dian and Yu Jin sat down. Cao Hong sighed, "We two almost couldn't escape. Alas... 50,000 troops... all the troops were wiped out..." Looking at Cao Ren, he asked, "Why are the generals only with so many people? Could it be..." Cao Ren sighed and shook his head in great sadness, "It's all over... the 200,000 troops were wiped out..." Cao Hong, Li Dian was shocked. Li Dian frowned and said, "Now it seems that Lu Bu set a trap for us from the beginning... On the surface, there were Pingnan Legion and Baotao Legion, but in fact it was Canglang Legion and Cavalry Legion... They deliberately showed weakness to lure us to attack, but we fell into their trap... Alas... the eldest son was too eager to succeed..."

Cao Ren waved his hand, "It's useless to say that these are now. We should arrive in Yuzhou as soon as possible and then contact the eldest son." The three generals nodded.

Cao Ren and others rested for more than an hour and continued their journey overnight. In the morning, they arrived at the city of Yuzhou. They asked to open the city gate and entered the city, and came to the gate of the governor's mansion. The governor and other officials received the report and just came out to greet him. When both sides saw the ceremony, the governor welcomed Cao Ren and his group into the lobby and asked Cao Ren to sit down. Cao Ren was unwilling to let him go and sat down. The governor and other officials stood in the hall, while Cao Hong, Li Dian and Yu Jin sat behind the left seat.

The governor clasped his fists and asked, "Why did the general come here? And..." He looked at Cao Ren's body with his eyes. He didn't say what he said later, but he couldn't understand the meaning. He was very surprised why Cao Ren and others were so embarrassed.

Cao Ren waved his hand, "Not to mention this, bring all the food and drinks..." The governor Yingnuo said and quickly ordered. An aide ran out of the hall. After a moment, a large amount of wine and meat were delivered to him and placed in front of Cao Ren's fourth general. The fourth general was already too hungry and swallowed the whale and cow.

Cao Ren asked while eating and drinking: "What's going on in Xuchang?"

The governor clasped his fists and said, "I just received the news that Xuchang has fallen..."

The four generals Cao Ren were shocked and stopped eating and drinking. Cao Hong glared and shouted: "It's impossible... In just a few days, even if Lu Bu's soldiers had three heads and six arms, they wouldn't be able to attack Xuchang... Don't talk nonsense..."

The governor quickly said, "Xiao Guan Ru and Gang are talking nonsense? They are indeed lost... The battle report was delivered in the early morning..." Then he said to the Bie Jia beside him, "Come the battle report quickly..." Bie Jia responded and ran down. After a moment, he came back. He had already added a battle report written in bamboo abbreviation in his hand. Bie Jia ran to Cao Ren and presented it with both hands. Cao Ren snatched it, opened it, and read it quickly, his face changed drastically.

Cao Ren said in disbelief: "This, how is this possible?"

The governor said: "The lower officials thought that Xuchang Jiancheng fell so easily, either the eldest son deliberately gave up or something happened."

Yu Jin nodded and said, "Yes. With the strong city defense in Xuchang and the reserved money and grain, although the troops are only one-quarter of the opponent's strength, there is no problem to persist for more than one month... It is absolutely not a normal thing to fall into it..."

Li Dian frowned and said, "What happened to you?... In such an important city as Xuchang, the eldest son has no reason to give up..." Everyone nodded.

Cao Ren frowned and said, "The most urgent task now is to contact the eldest son." He looked up and said, "I'll send a messenger to report our situation to the eldest son."

The governor clasped his fists and said, "You must be welcomed by the generals for your own affairs. But, how should I report the situation of several generals?"

The four generals showed embarrassment, and Cao Hong said loudly: "If you lose, you will lose... What's the embarrassment..." Then he said to the governor: "To be honest, our army is wiped out... Only a few of us and more than a hundred soldiers escaped."

When he heard this, the scene immediately exploded. Everyone showed horror and talked noisy. The originally orderly hall became chaotic and noisy like a vegetable market. An aide shouted: "What should we do? If Lu Bujun fights, won't we die without a place to die...?"

The governor was so upset that his subordinates were so panicked and unruly, and shouted, "Shut up... What kind of ruthlessness is it?" Everyone calmed down, but their faces showed a look of confusion and fear.

The governor clasped his fists at Cao Ren with a shame and said, "I have no choice but to rule my subordinates, so please forgive me."

Cao Ren waved his hand, glanced at everyone, and said, "I can understand your feelings." He said to the governor: "I'll send someone to report our situation to the eldest son and ask for instructions." The governor Yingnuo said, and said to the Bianjia: "Go and write a letter immediately and send a quick horse to the eldest son..." The Bianjia said, and ran down.

The governor said to Cao Ren worriedly: "General, there are only more than 20,000 troops in Yuzhou now. What should I do if the Lu Bu army launches a large-scale attack?"

Cao Ren thought to himself: I have ruined so many troops, and I have to defend Yuzhou for no matter what, I have to sacrifice my merits. As soon as I thought, I said to the governor: "Don't worry... The previous defeat of our army was all caused by the enemy's tricks. Now that we are defending the city, how can we be defeated again? Lord Governor, you immediately order the surrounding counties to summon all the prime ministers to join the army. All the people and horses, all the food and grass are moved to Yuzhou. The city of Yuzhou is high and the river is vast, and the food and grass are sufficient. Then mobilizing all the prime ministers will become the Jinchi Tangcheng in an unbreakable way... What we are facing now is mainly the Canglang Legion and the Cavalry Legion. Although these two legions have strong combat power, they are all cavalry not good at siegeing the city. As long as we work together, there is no reason for the fall of Yuzhou..."

Cao Ren's words inspired the morale of the officials in Yuzhou, and everyone felt that it was still very hopeful to defend Yuzhou. At this time, he clasped his fists and said, "The officer should do it immediately as the general's instructions." Then he led the general's subordinates to the scene.

...

The east city gate of Xuchang suddenly became noisy, and pedestrians on the street and guests in the tavern and tea shops turned their heads to look. A cavalry escorted countless prisoners and spoils into the city and walked forward along the street. The people talked, and some people who knew said as if they were showing off: "The general in charge is General Yan Xing, deputy general of Long Tao Army. They went out of the city to chase Prince Cao Pi last night. Now it seems that they have won a great victory... Look, look, many of the captured people are maids from the Prime Minister's Mansion..." Someone said curiously: "I wonder if Prince Cao Pi was captured?" As he said that, he stretched his neck and looked around, looking like a troublemaker.

Yan Xing clasped his fists with excitement in the hall of the Prime Minister's Mansion and said, "Report to the general, the last general was ordered to chase and kill thousands of enemies, captured more than 10,000 people, and seized a large amount of gold, jade, jewelry and antiques."
