Cao Jun's soldiers hurriedly rescued Zhao Yun from the battlefield. They saw that Zhao Yun's face was as pale as paper, his breath was as thin as a thread, and blood continued to leak out from his chest. He was obviously seriously injured, and it could be said that he was only a thin line between life and death.
"Military doctor! Where is the military doctor!?" Upon seeing this, Cao Cao couldn't help but feel anxious, and regretted very much why he agreed to Guan Yu's request in the first place. Zhao Yun is both wise and brave, and has a calm personality. He is a rare good general, as he is here.
His unfortunate death may become a lifelong regret for Cao Cao.
Seeing Zhao Yun being carried into the military tent, all the generals of Cao's army had expressions of great anxiety. Zhao Yun was an easy-going man. Although he didn't have a particularly close relationship with anyone, he had a good relationship with most people.
friendship.
"If something unfortunate happens to Zilong, I will cut Guan Yu's body into thousands of pieces to satisfy the hatred in my heart!" Xiahou Dun said through gritted teeth.
"Based on Zilong's blow, I'm afraid Guan Yu may not be able to survive." Xia Houyuan cursed Guan Yu on the side, his face also quite unhappy.
"If Zilong is not cured, even if Guan Yu is dead, I will crush his body into ashes!" Xiahou Dun said firmly.
Zhao Yun survived in the end, but his condition was very miserable. Regarding Zhao Yun's injury, the doctors paid special attention to the fact that he could not use force for half a year, otherwise he might lose all his martial arts skills and become a cripple if he did not take good care of himself. Regarding this,
Cao Cao naturally did not dare to neglect the doctor's orders, so he hurriedly ordered one of his military lords to lead two hundred soldiers and horses to escort Zhao Yun back to Xudu, and ordered the best nurses to treat Zhao Yun's injuries.
When Cao Cao defeated Lu Bu and returned to Dongjun, he was quite puzzled when he saw the profession of nurse at first. He brought so many women into the army, under the euphemistic name of taking care of wounded soldiers. What does Gao Shun mean? However,
As time went by, Cao Cao also witnessed with his own eyes that nurses played a very significant role in the recovery of wounded soldiers in the army. Coupled with Gao Shun's plea, Cao Cao allowed the existence of this industry. But until now, when Zhao Yun
When this important general was saved due to the care of the nurses, Cao Cao felt that not dismantling the nurse camp was one of the most correct decisions he made in his life.
Zhao Yun was so miserable, and the situation on Guan Yu's side was naturally not much better. Although Guan Yu himself was lucky to save his life in the end, he is still unconscious. The Pengcheng defenders are no better than Cao's army, and Cao's army has many good generals.
One less Zhao Yun will not have much negative impact, but once the Pengcheng defenders lose Guan Yu's command, they will immediately fall into a state of semi-paralysis. Although Chen Dao's ability is good enough, he must be allowed to command Pengcheng Central
There were 10,000 defenders, but they still lacked some experience and qualifications. What's more, Guan Yu's serious injury was witnessed by everyone, and there was no way to hide it. This fact made the entire Pengcheng defenders lose all fighting spirit, and there was no fighting spirit at all.
No matter how outstanding Chen Dao's military talent was, the so-called clever woman can't make a meal without rice. In this case, he was unable to mobilize the morale of the defenders.
Rather than sit back and watch the 10,000 defenders being massacred or collected by Cao's army when the city was broken, and taking advantage of Cao's opponent, it would be better to retain his strength and lead his army to retreat to Xiapi to join Liu Bei in order to take the final advantage - this is what Chen is doing today.
idea.
In the end, Chen Dao left 2,000 palace troops in Pengcheng and fled to Xiapi with Guan Yu and the remaining 8,000 people.
The palace army, as the name suggests, is the troops responsible for the rear of the palace in order to protect the main force from retreating successfully. For these two thousand people, their purpose is to do their best to hold off Cao Jun and buy time for Chen Dao's retreat. It can be said that these two thousand people
Thousands of people are Chen Dao's abandoned sons, and they will exchange their lives for the survival of the other eight thousand people.
In a siege battle, the siege party is always at a disadvantage. Although there were only 2,000 defenders in the city, and although Cao Jun had a large number of sophisticated siege equipment, Cao Jun still spent a full two hours to defeat more than 1,800 men.
At the cost of his death, he was able to conquer this ancient city.
After capturing Pengcheng, Cao Cao was in no hurry to pursue Chen Dao's 8,000 men, not to mention that he might not be able to catch up now. Cao Cao ordered the entire army to rest for a night and attack Xiapi tomorrow.
———————————————————————————————————— “Second brother!” Seeing the unconscious Guan Yu, Liu Bei felt great sorrow in his heart.
Sadness came from it, and he shouted loudly.
"Which bastard dared to hurt my second brother like this? I'm going to twist his head off!" Zhang Fei had the most violent temperament. As soon as he saw Guan Yu's miserable state, he immediately went berserk.
Zhang Fei's eyes were wide open, and there was almost fire in his eyes.
"Yide!" Liu Bei stopped Zhang Fei. Although he was very sad, Liu Bei had not lost his mind at this time. "Cao Cao has an army of 50,000 people. No matter how brave you are, how can you be used?"
"Second brother was injured like this, how can we just let it go?" Zhang Fei was extremely unwilling and muttered loudly.
"Yun Chang's revenge will naturally be avenged! But the most important thing now is to try to repel Cao Jun. If Cao Jun doesn't retreat, everything will be just nonsense after all!" Liu Bei was afraid that Zhang Fei would do something stupid in his rage.
, and now he tried his best to persuade me.
Although repelling Cao Cao's army is simple, the troops and horses that can be mobilized in the entire Xuzhou territory at this time are less than half of Cao Cao's army. It is so difficult to really drive them out of Xuzhou!
Thinking of this, Liu Bei's originally sad face showed a hint of bitterness.
"My lord, have you forgotten that there is still a fierce tiger in Xuzhou. Maybe we can let him resist Cao Cao for a while." Seeing Liu Bei's distress, his counselor Jian Yong thought about it and stepped forward to speak.
"Xianhe means... Lu Bu?" Liu Bei's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this.
"Huh, what's so great about Lu Bu? A slave with three surnames is not the defeated general under Cao Cao, the dog's ear that bereaved his family!" Perhaps because of their incompatibility, Zhang Fei just felt unhappy with Lu Bu. Every time he heard people talking about Lu Bu
, Zhang Fei had to belittle him.
"Lü Bu?" Although Liu Bei didn't dislike Lu Bu that much, he still had his own doubts at this moment, "Lü Bu has a tigerish and wolfish nature and is capricious, so he may not be reliable. Furthermore, Lu Bu was indeed defeated by Cao Cao. He
You may not be able to stop Cao Cao."
"Now that the situation is not in my favor, I can only let Lu Bu take action. Even if it doesn't work, it will consume some of Cao Cao's troops, right?" Faced with Liu Bei's question, Jian Yong thought for a while and then replied, "As for Lu Bu's personality, although
Repeatedly, but there is a deep hatred between him and Cao Cao, and it is impossible to surrender easily. Moreover, Lu Bu is now stationed in Xiaopei, and his relationship with the lord is very bitter. If he is asked to go to war, he will definitely deal with it with all his strength."
"If this is the case, then send an envoy to Lu Bu and ask him to fight." Liu Bei was by no means a hesitant person, and he made a decision immediately.
