‘Damn, there’s something wrong with these three brothers!”
'Being ruthless is indeed the character of a wolf!'
Looking at Zhang Fei who was holding Guan Yu with a happy face, Xiahou Dun and Cao Ren cursed in their hearts, with expressions of contempt on their faces.
Lu Bu returned to his army's formation, reorganized his army, and faced Cao's army. He glanced at the horse trap and saw the touching scene of Guan and Zhang embracing each other.
Such a layout failed to kill Guan Yu, leaving Fengxian speechless and choked.
Cao's army surged forward, the most fierce general in the world, his eyes burst with fierce light, and Fang Tian's painted halberd pointed forward in his hand.
Lu Bu's subordinates all banged their shields together, shouting "My lord is invincible, my lord is invincible!" and lined up to attack Cao Jun.
Zhang Liao and Gao Shun also led their troops from the direction of Xiaopei to attack at the same time. Just below Xiapi City, the three armies fought in a fierce melee.
Guan Yu got the horses that Cao Ren gave up, and under the protection of Zhang Fei, they returned to the army's formation.
When Liu Bei saw his second brother in such a mess, he hugged Guan Yu. He was a head shorter than his second brother, and his head was just between Yun Chang's chin.
Xuande was like a coquettish girl, twisting and turning in Yun Chang's arms, wiping her nose and tears on Guan Yu's broken shirt.
Cao Cao was overjoyed when he saw that his second brother was safe. Unfortunately, the first place was snatched away by Big Er!
Meng De could only look slightly depressed, looking at the three Taoyuan brothers in front of him, holding hands with each other and spinning around, expressing their feelings about life and death, which looked like the prototype of later generations of rap.
Cao's army rushed to rescue Guan Yu in panic, but their formation was scattered. Zhang Liao and Lu Bu's troops, who were waiting for them, were flanked by Zhang Liao and Lu Bu's troops, and they immediately fell into a bitter battle.
The place where the two armies fought was quite close to Xiapi City. Above the city, bows and arrows poured down like raindrops, shooting Cao's soldiers in rows.
Chen Gong's eyes were red, thinking of the tribesmen who were slaughtered by Cao Cao in the city and Fang Guang who was far away in Shouchun. He gritted his teeth, pulled out the bow string with his own hands, and unleashed a burst of damage on Meng De.
Cao Cao, who had almost no defeats since the Juancheng War, suffered a big loss this time.
In the melee, Cao Ren and Xiahou Dun protected their lord and retreated first. Seeing that something was wrong, the other armies also retreated one after another.
Tens of thousands of elite troops were lost at Xiapi City by 30%, and almost all of the remaining soldiers were injured. For a time, the morale of Cao's army dropped to the extreme.
Lu Bu was fighting among the rebels, and he was in a deserted land. The four hooves of the red rabbit and horse were all red with the blood of men from Yanzhou and Yuzhou.
When Fengxian reached the place where he was enjoying the battle, he couldn't help but raise his head to the sky and roar. When he raised his head, his eyes happened to sweep over the top of Xiapi City.
When that graceful figure appeared in front of him, the most powerful general in the world couldn't help but feel shocked.
Diao Chan's eyebrows were full of affection. The girl didn't know what she was thinking of. She held her heart in her hands and looked into the distance, with a sweet smile on her face that Lu Bu had never seen before.
The splendor of Luo Shen and the elegance of Xi Shi appeared in the girl together. At the moment when Cao Jun was defeated, the graceful figure of that smiling and frowning woman was clearly shining with light!
Fengxian originally thought that this was a great victory for Bingzhou's army and horses, and Diaochan was happy for himself and Xuzhou. The corners of his mouth were raised, and he was filled with pride.
But he didn't notice that Diao Chan's gaze fell on Marquis Wen, the most beautiful woman in the Le family, looking to the southeast, and what he murmured in his mouth was the word "Fang Guang".
After a great defeat, the morale of Cao's army was extremely low.
In order to show that he was fine that night, the second brother was just plotting for Lu Bu. At Xuande's invitation, he personally patrolled the camp to calm morale.
Unfortunately, Big Er made a miscalculation this time. Yun Chang's darkened face and half of his beautiful beard hidden by his beard made the second brother's usually cold and arrogant temperament become quite joyful at this time.
Cao Jun was thinking secretly, even Guan Yu was beaten like this, whether Xuzhou can still be captured.
Xun Yu and Guo Jia both felt that the atmosphere in the army was not right, and persuaded Cao Cao to withdraw dozens of miles, waiting for Fang Guang to arrive before regrouping and fighting Fengxian.
Unconsciously, the yellow turban captain seemed to have become the last support in Cao Jun's heart.
On this day, in Cao Cao's camp, his subordinates civil and military officials were discussing military strategy again.
Cao Mengde, the commander-in-chief of the dynasty, with a slightly sullen look on his face, listened to the chief secretary Yang Xiu discussing military strategy.
Yang Xiu is intelligent by nature and the best at observing people's emotions. As Meng De's great secret, Yang Xiu knows his master's recipe well.
Yesterday, the army cook was cooking chicken. Cao Cao put a piece of chicken rib in the bowl and picked it out. Meng De seemed reluctant to give it up, so he put the chicken rib into the bowl again.
This happened several times, and finally Cao Cao got so angry that he pounded the table and simply stopped eating!
This matter was secretly reported to Dezu by Yang Xiu's eyes and ears. Yang Xiu thought he had seen through Cao Cao's heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys!
In today's speech, I tried my best to refute Xun Yu and Guo Jia's words, urging them to retreat.
"My lord, gentlemen, our army is coming from far away. It will be the middle of winter soon. If we camp in the wild, how can we compete with Lu Bu who is in a fortified city?"
"In ancient times, there was a saying that when fighting, one's energy will be strong, the other will be weakened, and the third will be exhausted. If the army is not victorious for a long time, the energy will be exhausted!"
"I think it would be better for the army to retreat to Dongjun, camp between Juancheng and Dongjun, spend the winter, and wait for the next spring to attack Xuzhou again!"
"The news of the wonderful talent in Guanzhong has not yet arrived. Zhang Xiu and Liu Biao in Wancheng are getting closer and closer. The lord's army is out there, so I'm afraid!"
Yang Xiu didn't say everything. Guo Jia, who had always despised this person in his heart and thought he was only a little clever, couldn't help but sneer beside him.
"It's just a small setback, but we have to retreat? Zude, is this your military strategy?"
"Soldiers are the key to life and death. They raise troops and mobilize the masses. Where is the reason to retreat if there is even the slightest trouble?"
"Come back next spring? What will Yuan Shao do at that time? Taking advantage of three months of uninterrupted time to defeat the lord's most important enemy is a well-discussed military strategy. How can it be easily modified?"
"snort!"
Guo Jia's face was full of displeasure and he glared at Yang Xiu. Xun Yu on the side, although he was not on good terms with Fang Guang, supported Guo Jia on this occasion.
"Fengxiao's words are reasonable, but it is a small defeat. The losses suffered by Lu Bu and Zhang Liao are actually not small. Come next spring, not only Xiapi, but also Xiaopei's city has been properly built. Isn't it more difficult to pacify it?"
"I think it's better to bite the bullet and take down the slaves of the three surnamed families!"
"Your Majesty, Fengxiao, you two urge us to fight again. Now that Guan Yu is injured, only Zhang Fei in our army can barely resist Lu Bu. This man is vulgar and angry. Can we really rely on him?"
"For such an important discussion today, the three brothers are just excused themselves for being sick!"
"There is a huge feud between the Yan people and Datong. He may not use all his strength. It doesn't matter. Who else beside the lord can defeat Lu Bu?"
Yang Xiu argued hard. After hearing this, Cao Cao glanced around the generals in the tent. Xiahou Dun and Cao Ren looked ashamed. Li Dian's eyes were wandering. Le Jin and Yu Jin were frightened and lowered their heads as if they were afraid.
Being named and sent to death.
"well!"
Cao Cao sighed softly, the feeling of loneliness in it made the civil and military officials in the tent feel sad.
