Chapter 473: The dawn of uniting the princes
Nanyang County, the main city where Cao Ren and Lu Su fought, Ai County. Read vip latest chapter\Gu
At this moment, Ai County is relatively calm.
Although the city walls were dyed red with blood, although countless stumps and broken arms were left outside the city, and although the air was filled with a strong smell of blood.[
But at this moment, Ai County is indeed relatively peaceful.
Because Cao Ren did not attack today.
The reason is simple, because Cao Ren has received news that Liu Feng defeated Zhang Lu and occupied Hanzhong.
In the north of Ai County, inside Cao Ren's camp.
The soldiers enjoyed this rare day without attacking the city.
In the Chinese army's tent, Cao Ren's expression was extremely solemn.
According to the news, Zhang Lu failed. Although he went out with 10,000 troops and there was a possibility of making a comeback, the possibility was average and not very high.
And he attacked Ai County for more than ten days, with an army of more than 10,000, and suffered more than half of the casualties, but he could not break the tough nut of Lu Su.
Cao Ren hesitated. It was obvious that the war was over. Their alliance failed. Under pressure from all four sides, Lu Su still managed to break through and save his foundation.
Even if he attacks Ai County again, it will be more lost than gained. The opportunity is lost, such a great opportunity is lost.
"That Zhang Lu is really beautiful on the outside, but ruined on the inside." Thinking about the tangle, Cao Ren couldn't help but cursed secretly.
"Oh, retreat."
Cao Ren thought sadly in his heart that he launched the war twice, but failed once and returned home. Cao Ren suffered an unprecedented blow.
But at this moment, a petty official hurriedly came to the Chinese army's tent with great joy on his face.
Cao Ren was unhappy. When he saw this expression, a burst of unknown fire arose in his heart, and he scolded: "No matter the news is good or bad, no matter how gloomy the situation is, you must remain calm and composed. How unbecoming is this expression of yours?"
"General, calm down." The clerk's expression suddenly stiffened, and he quickly admitted his mistake. He was extremely depressed. He had just received great good news, and thought he could claim credit, but he didn't expect to receive a scolding in vain.
"Yeah." Seeing this, Cao Ren's expression softened slightly, and then he asked, "What's the news?"
The war in the south has been concluded. According to Cao Ren's guess, there may have been some changes in the north, and it may have been a moderate victory. That's why the petty officials were so happy.
"Liu Zhang's general, Gao Pei of Jiameng Pass, sent troops to Nanzheng, but was defeated by Wenpin in one round." Seeing Cao Ren asking, the clerk became excited again and said with joy.[
This is a big deal. Even with the eyes of a junior official, he can see that Lu Su is in trouble, and it is a big trouble. But Lu Su's trouble is an opportunity for them.
What a huge opportunity.
It means that there is a glimmer of light in the originally dark sky.
"What?" Cao Ren was stunned for a moment, then said ecstatically: "Is the news confirmed?"
"I'm extremely sure." Seeing Cao Ren's reaction, the clerk was extremely pleased. He showed an affirmative expression on his face and nodded fiercely.
"Hahahaha. Although Zhang Lu was killed, there is still Liu Zhang. This war is a war of salt. Neither our Cao family nor the Sun family in the East can fail. But Zhang Lu failed. But it doesn't matter, as long as Yizhou
Liu Zhang joined the war, and Lu Su was doomed. Yizhou will never be able to give Lu Su salt, hahahahaha. It’s so happy, it’s so happy.” In ecstasy, Cao Ren also lost his composure and laughed endlessly.
