Some frontline scouts came back to report the battle situation. Cao Jun has officially taken over the Xiliang Army, and even the camp has not been completed yet.
Although both sides had just experienced a forced march not long ago, but which side was more prepared, it was definitely Cao Jun's side.
Hearing the arrival of the Xiliang army, the hall suddenly started to become commotion.
Cao Cao watched the actions of the people in the hall with cold eyes, knowing that if Lu Yan couldn't win decisively, it might not be that easy to get these people to follow him obediently.
Upon hearing the news of the arrival of the Xiliang army, Dong Cheng could no longer sit still.
He strode to the scouts and asked eagerly: "How many people from the Xiliang army came in total?"
Yang Feng, who was on the other side, thought to himself: "There shouldn't be many people coming. After all, the Baibo Army has 30,000 people. No matter what, it should be able to scrape off a layer of flesh from the Xiliang Army..."
But unexpectedly, the scout actually said: "A rough observation shows that the Xiliang army has at least nearly 50,000 people!"
There are nearly 50,000 Xiliang troops???
"hiss!!!"
The sound of gasps suddenly sounded in the hall.
"Ah!!!" After a moment, the palace maid and concubine who came back to her senses couldn't hide their exclamation.
"How come the Xiliang Army still has so many troops?"
"Is it possible that the Baibo Army didn't fight them at all?"
"I don't think the Baibo Army will let the Xiliang Army come over. They may just be too weak in combat effectiveness..."
...
After Dong Cheng heard the news from the scouts, he was so shocked that he staggered back two steps and kept muttering: "There are nearly 50,000 people in the Xiliang army. How can we stop this?"
?”
Yang Feng also felt a little dull on his face...
He originally thought that with the Baibo Army's more than 30,000 soldiers, even if it couldn't stop the Xiliang Army, it would still be okay to consume some of their effective strength, right?
But the fact is that when the Xiliang army chased them, there were more than 50,000 people, and now there are nearly 50,000 people in front of Cao's army?
Is it possible that your 30,000 Baibo troops are all pigs who can't fight back? Even if pigs are cornered, they will still give you cabbage!
Yang Feng shook his head and sighed, "It seems that it is inevitable to flee again...Cao's army is all infantry. Even if it is stronger than Baibo's army, I'm afraid it can't change the outcome of being annihilated..."
In fact, this cannot be blamed on Baibo Juncai,
After all, the Xiliang Army itself is one of the best in the world, while the Baibo Army is just a branch of the Yellow Turban Army, similar to the Black Mountain Army. They are just semi-professional civilian organizations, and the gap between the two sides is indeed not small.
In addition, the Baibo army were all infantry. When they encountered the Xiliang cavalry, they were able to delay for a day and a half, but at a huge cost in life.
Dong Cheng looked back at Cao Cao. He suddenly turned around and came to Emperor Xian Liu Xie's side, took Liu Xie's hand and started to walk out.
"Dong Aiqing... what are you doing?" Seeing that Emperor Xian was still confused about the situation, Dong Cheng said to Emperor Xian, "Let's go, Your Majesty, follow me and evacuate Luoyang quickly!"
"Ah? But where can we go?" Liu Xie heard that Dong Cheng wanted him to escape Chang'an with him.
Liu Xie, who was accustomed to relying on Dong Cheng and Yang Feng along the way, subconsciously stood up and prepared to follow Dong Cheng and leave Luoyang.
Dong Cheng replied: "Your Majesty, I have secretly prepared a boat at the Yellow River ferry. We can cross the Yellow River immediately when we arrive at the ferry!"
When Liu Xie heard this, his eyes lit up and he said, "Dong Aiqing is really very thoughtful!"
Dong Cheng secretly prepared a boat to cross the river?
Even Cao Cao couldn't help but look sideways at Dong Cheng, and thought to himself: "I can't tell, this guy still has some abilities, I have to observe him carefully in the future."
Yang Feng also trotted to catch up with the Han Emperor at this time, and he did not hesitate to protect the emperor from leaving with Dong Cheng.
As for how others will be humiliated in front of the Xiliang army, they can no longer control it...
The Xiliang army came to attack, and the emperor and the two generals wanted to escape by boat.
When the ministers saw this, they couldn't help but panic and began to beg the emperor to take them with him.
The concubines and maids, knowing the torture they were about to face, began to sob softly.
In an instant, the hall fell into chaos.
However, when Dong Cheng and Yang Feng were about to pass by Cao Cao, Cao Cao suddenly took two steps and blocked the emperor, Yang Feng and Dong Cheng.
"General Cao, what are you doing?" Dong Cheng looked at Cao Cao and asked with slightly narrowed eyes.
Liu Xie was a little afraid of Cao Cao when he was serious in speech. He always felt that this ugly dwarf was a very difficult guy to mess with!
There was no anger on Cao Cao's face, but he replied with a half-smile: "Your Majesty, two generals, the battle situation of our Cao army on the front line is not yet clear..." Then Cao Cao pointed to those who were crying bitterly when they learned that they would be abandoned.
The ministers and concubines said, "Are you just planning to abandon us?"
A good one abandoned us...
With just one sentence, Boss Cao put his position in line with those of the ministers.
In an instant, Boss Cao suddenly changed, and he became a fellow traveler with those ministers, or in other words, a poor person with the same problem.
Liu Xie, Dong Cheng, and Yang Biao could not imagine this.
But Yang Biao, who had been resting quietly against the pillar, apparently came to his senses, "A capable minister in governing the world, a traitor in troubled times... Cao Mengde is the best in the world in both civil and martial arts, but the most terrifying thing about him is his scheming.
ah!"
Among the civil and military officials who have survived to this day, which one is not a good person who knows how to protect himself?
Cao Cao tied himself to the ministers with just one word. If Emperor Xian really showed the slightest idea of abandoning them, most of these ministers would definitely fall to Cao Cao.
But Emperor Xian Liu Xie was only fourteen years old now. Although he had been smart since he was a child, he lacked experience after all. After hesitating for a moment, he gave Dong Cheng and Yang Feng, two pig teammates, a chance.
When Yang Feng saw that the emperor was silent, he thought that the emperor was frightened by Cao Cao.
Out of eagerness to protect the emperor, Yang Feng spoke first and said: "Your Majesty is the foundation of the country. As long as your Majesty is here, the great man will be there!"
"Yes, as long as His Majesty is here, this big man still has hope!" Dong Cheng echoed.
When Cao Cao heard this, he had a slightly sad and disappointed look on his face, but he was already laughing in his heart.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, if you are surrounded by such mediocre ministers, the idea of reviving the great Han Dynasty may always be just an idea..."
After hearing what Dong Cheng and Yang Feng said, Yang Biao smiled bitterly and shook his head, then simply closed his eyes and turned to his side to fall asleep.
This scene is unbearable to watch. If I look at Yang Biao again, he is afraid that he will be so angry that he will have a cerebral hemorrhage.
The surrounding sounds gradually became quieter...
Although they know that they may be abandoned, when the abandonment is so direct and undisguised, they still inevitably feel a sense of sadness and a little anger in their hearts.
Perhaps the strange atmosphere around them made Dong Cheng and Yang Feng feel something was wrong. Dong Cheng immediately signaled Yang Feng to join him, supporting Liu Xie and preparing to bypass Cao Cao.
But Cao Cao took another step and stood in front of them.
Dong Cheng finally couldn't bear it anymore, pointed at Cao Cao and shouted angrily: "Cao Cao, do you want to rebel?"
"Rebellion?" Cao Cao sneered and said, "What a big hat. I, Cao Mengde, don't have such a big head."
"Then you still won't get out of the way?"
"What's the rush? The news from the front line hasn't come back yet."
"When the news comes back, Your Majesty may not have a chance to escape!"
Before he finished speaking, another Cao Jun scout rushed in hurriedly.
After seeing Cao Cao, he quickly knelt down on one knee and said: "Report to your Majesty, Lord!
Xiliang Army Zhang Ji was the first to be defeated by the right wing guarded by General Cao Hong!
In this battle, General Cao Hong killed five thousand enemies, captured prisoners of war, and had thousands of horses. The enemy Zhang Ji had led the remnants of his army and fled back to Guanzhong in a hurry!"
