Qian Zhao turned around and looked at the battlefield.
The opponent has recovered from being attacked and his morale has also increased. On the other hand, his side is clearly the attacking side, but he has been beaten into several quarters by his opponent.
In addition to this small number of cavalry led by Qian Zhao, some Cao's soldiers have been surrounded by the cavalry and are being sieged and killed by their opponents. Failure is not far away...
In a trance, Qian Zhao seemed to see that he was fleeing in such panic when facing the Xianbei Wuhuan who was heading south.
However, most of his current opponents were left by those who were still in the North.
Qian Zhao suddenly saw Li Li.
Li Li was pointing in the direction of Qianzhao here, as if shouting something.
The Hussars and cavalrymen on Li Li were also shouting in unison, delivering the sound of killing, looking majestic.
『Woo…』
Suddenly, the two sides who were immersed in the bloody battle on the battlefield were attracted by a long and low sound of the horns. Then the war drums roared up again. At this moment, everyone turned their heads and looked at the mountain on Suoyang Pass that made the sound.
I saw that at Suoyang Pass, the flag representing Cao's army fell down, and replaced by the three-color battle flag representing the cavalry army!
The three-color battle flag that fluttered high seemed to emit colorful light under the sunshine!
For a moment, almost all the Hussar soldiers cheered together on the mountain!
That is the symbol of the cavalry, that is the glory of Guanzhong, the northern part of the land!
It represents the majesty of the Han Dynasty and the invincible myth!
Almost at the same time, the soldiers of Cao's army lowered their necks.
At this moment, the heart that was hiding was as if it was immersed in ice water.
Did Cao Hong fail?
Captured?
Killed?
But whether Cao Hong was captured or killed, it means the same thing.
The rescue mission of Qianzhao failed.
Now that my mission has failed, I can only break through.
Qianzhao turned around and was about to order his subordinates to retreat, but he did not call out because he saw that the soldiers he brought had already begun to retreat spontaneously and voluntarily...
The troops led to the storm were in chaos.
Some of them followed Qianzhao, while others had already started to run away. Although the soldiers of the Cao army were still the same person, and the outside body did not seem to have changed, Qianzhao could feel that there was no soul inside the body.
The cavalry army at Suoyang Pass also began to walk down the mountain, and cheers were everywhere.
The trap of Qianzhao sending people to ambush in advance now looks like a joke, and it also seems like a dream when he comes to rescue Cao Hong.
All his preparations, traps, and all his efforts were in vain.
Empty has power, but don’t know where to use it, and there is nothing to use it, but don’t know where to use it.
It's dawn and the dream should wake up.
Qianzhao felt deeply tired, as if he had made thousands of efforts, practiced thousands of times, and had countless years of sweat. Finally, he thought he was standing on the same starting line as some people, and then he realized that he had stood in the wrong position. The starting line he thought was actually his finishing line.
『General!』 The soldiers behind the rushing shouted, 『Where are we going now?"
"Where to go..." Qian Zhao smiled bitterly, "Retreat..."
Where else can he go?
The fields are vast and the sky is vast, but there seems to be no place for him to settle down.
...
...
Cao's army's Zhongtiaoshan camp.
Lu Chang was preparing to attack with his men.
The assembly of Cao's army was obviously much slower than before.
"Don't worry, the Cavalry Army is nothing more than that."
According to convention, Lu Chang still had to appease his subordinates and encourage his several military academies.
"The Former Cavalry Army has been trapped and transferred to Suoyang Pass by General Cao. At this moment, the Former Cavalry Army Camp is empty! It's a great opportunity for you and me!"
"Thank you all today! Tomorrow is the time to celebrate the achievements!"
"Even if our army evacuates, you will have meritorious deeds on your body, and you will have a great reward after the war!"
In the Cao army camp, Lu Chang said this to his subordinates.
The Cao army military academies agreed to show harmony.
Lu Chang smiled and said a few more words before putting on his neck and appeared majestic in the middle of the formation.
However, Lu Chang's smile quickly disappeared.
It wasn't that I received news of Cao Hong's defeat. After all, Suoyang Pass is still some distance away from Zhongtiao Mountain Camp. Moreover, Li Li is also fighting at the foot of Suoyang Pass. There are no Cao's soldiers who can bravely break through the battlefield to report the news, so Lu Chang, Dong Zhao and others thought that Cao Hong could still delay and persist.
The reason why Lu Chang couldn't laugh was that he found that the soldiers went on the battle and had no food to eat...
It cannot be said that there is no such thing as at all, but even Lu Chang couldn't stand the pitiful pancake.
Although it is not a cold winter month, the wind blowing from the north is still relatively cold. If there is no food in the belly, how can you have the strength to fight when it is really a fight?
"What's going on?"
This situation was really too obvious, and Lu Chang noticed this problem immediately.
"Those are eaten in battle?!"
"This..." The military academy responsible for logistics also had a bitter face, "General... This is what he sent... General, I'll just talk with him after taking a step..."
Lu Chang took a calm face and walked two steps aside.
The Logistics Military Academy bent over and followed, "The general doesn't know anything... The Chief Cao, who is in charge of logistics, said that the troops and food are not too much... they have to prepare for food on the return journey... and to fight the front camp of the Cavalry Army, you can eat from the enemy. It's a good match for both worlds...
"What are two? Is this the best of both worlds?"
Lu Chang laughed silently and didn't know what to say for a moment.
The logistical support of the Cavalry Army is good, which is what most people know, but the reason why they don’t give it so blatantly, or give less food to the Cao army soldiers is so powerful that Lu Chang feels a little confused and doesn’t know how this logical thinking is established.
Withdrawal, oh, when you return, of course you have to eat and prepare. This is not wrong, but now the soldiers are going to go to the forefront of the Cavalry!
This is not going to a banquet!
Still eating from the enemy?
If you can't fight...
Lu Chang suddenly understood something.
If you lose, there are most likely many of these people who cannot come back, so there is no need to give you any food.
Lu Chang was silent for a long time, then shook his head, "Please bring me a word to the back camp's logistics manager..."
"Yes, yes, general, please tell me." The Logistics Military Academy bent over.
Lu Chang exhaled, "A gentleman is a gentleman. He is a Chinese. He is a Chinese. Isn't he a millionaire?"
After Lu Chang paused, the Logistics Military Academy waited for a while before asking, "That's all?"
Lu Chang nodded, "That's all."
After hearing the communication, the logistics supervisor just laughed for a moment, and his expression was mostly disdainful.
Chinese?
Savage?
Haha, except for the people from the Cao family who are from the country, the rest of the people are all savages!
Since it is a savage, it is good to have food, so why not talk about whether it is ten thousand years or not?
Can it take ten thousand years to give me a bite?
What a joke!
...
...
Many people’s ideas, plans, and vision will change at any time.
Maybe I was thinking about serving the country and the people in the last second, but the next second I decided to show off a Swiss roll as a snack first, otherwise how could I have the strength to serve the country and the people? Some people can persist for ten years.
Once an ideal is established, there is almost no change, no matter what kind of suffering you encounter.
It is hard to say which one is better or worse for these two types of people.
After all, humans need to adapt to the environment and change the environment.
These two types of people should have collaborated, supplemented and supported each other, but unfortunately, they are laughing at each other, ridicule and despise each other.
Among the Cao army, some people insist on their true intentions, some people change their goals at any time, and they may jump repeatedly and move back and forth among these two types...
For example, Xiahou Dun.
At the beginning, Xiahou Dun thought about dying and escaping, but at that time, the Hussars were in a tight position and had no chance at all.
After all, as the two swords of Cao's army, how could Xiahou Dun treat him ordinary?
However, over time, Xiahou Dun had less desire to die and had more thoughts on exploring.
He could listen to all Fei Qian's arrangements, he could accept it under the surveillance of the soldiers and generals of the Cavalry Army. He could remain silent and eat and sleep every day, as if he had no other intentions in his heart.
But in fact, Xiahou Dun had always had Cao Aman in his heart.
Xiahou Dun was also waiting for the opportunity.
As a result, Xiahou Dun was really waiting for the opportunity, but no one can tell whether this opportunity is a good opportunity or a good choice.
Xun Chen is the one who manages affairs in Anyi.
After Fei Qian led his troops south, he left Xiahou Dun and other surrendered generals at the Anyi camp.
Instead of following the south, Xun Chen began to implement various new policies around Anyi. He was so busy that he almost touched his head every day and didn't have much time to take care of these surrendered generals.
When implementing the new policy, especially at the beginning, it is undoubtedly the hardest time period, because there are too many problems to be solved. If you can't use the original methods to deal with the original problems, and new personnel also need a new adaptation period, so there will naturally be a little chaos, especially when these gentry children in Hedong are not too willing.
Every day, Xun Chen had to get up early. After washing up, he immediately had to deal with all the work. He continued until the early dried up was cold. He took time to snatch a few bites in a hurry, and immediately approved the document. Even while eating, he stared at the records of various matters reported around him, and then put down his chopsticks from time to time and wrote a few words.
Agriculture needs to be arranged and industry needs to be restored.
After the war, many places became ruins, and everything had to start over.
The busyness of the cavalry naturally made these surrendered generals see some "opportunities".
As a surrendered general, oh, the largest of the captives, Xiahou Dun did not seem worried these days. Instead, he ate and went to bed early every day, and snoreed like thunder soon.
The soldiers responsible for guarding Xiahou Dun couldn't help but feel a little contempt in their hearts when they saw this, but they also ended up relaxing.
But who knows that Xiahou Dun spent most of his time secretly calculating the time when these guards changed shifts, listening to the movement of the footsteps of the guards inside and outside the courtyard?
All these changes started from the day when Xiahou Dun met Cao Xiu...
It was also from that day that Xiahou Dun was waiting every day, waiting for the "opportunity" to come to him.
...
...
Cao Xiu arrived in Anyi, but Fei Qian led his troops south again.
Therefore, Cao Xiu's plan to "heroic" was naturally failed again.
Perhaps it was because of the repeated failures of all the plans of Cao Xiu since the war started, which made Cao Xiu a little accustomed to it or numb, so after hearing that Fei Qian left, he did not show any particularly emotional actions, which made the soldiers responsible for monitoring Cao Xiu a little relieved.
Cao Xiu did not go to see Xiahou Dun as soon as possible, but met his own child, Cao Zhao.
When Cao Xiu saw Cao Zhao's figure, his face unconsciously sank.
In his opinion, Cao Zhao simply lost all the face of Cao!
If the son does not teach, it is the fault of the father.
Cao Xiu naturally felt that his child was so vague.
Cao Zhao had a look of excitement when he saw his father, but when he saw his father's gloomy face, he put away his joy, rubbed it for a while, then stepped forward and muttered in a low voice, "My father..."
Cao Xiu frowned.
【Are you so reluctant to call yourself a father?】
Cao Zhao lowered his head.
[Do you like me so much? You look like this. You don’t even have a happy meeting?]
The two sat opposite each other, not far apart, but there seemed to be an invisible gully between the two, which separated the two from afar.
Understand and understand each other.
No order!
Seeing this, Cao Xiu's heart slowly sank.
【It turns out that he is weak and surrendered, otherwise he would not have shown such a state.】
Cao Zhao lowered his head and said nothing, and he was also very depressed.
[My father is unhappy and has a bad face again. Every time I see me, I always have a bad face. Can't I smile?]
Both of them didn't speak for a long time.
Cao Xiu's father died in his early years.
Therefore, in Cao Xiu's memory, his father is undoubtedly perfect and a role model in his life.
Cao Xiu hopes that he can be as perfect as his father.
The most important thing is that Cao Xiu has no father, so he suffered a lot when he was young, especially some people pretend to be generous on the surface, but actually show that they are evil. Oh, Cao Xiu, everyone should forgive him, be considerate of him, and know that Cao Xiu has no father, oh hehehe...
Cao Xiu, who grew up in such an environment, certainly hoped that he could set an example for Cao Zhao, and also told his children to go in that direction as much as possible, and not to repeatedly suffer the pain of his past and suffer the sins he had suffered.
Because I feel pain, I want my child not to suffer that pain.
But life is often so ironic.
When he was young, it was fine. When Cao Zhao stumbled and learned to speak, Cao Xiu would take him to play, and then he would carry him to climb mountains and ride horses. At that time, Cao Zhao was undoubtedly close to Cao Xiu, but when Cao Zhao started to study and started to study, the relationship between Cao Xiu and Cao Zhao was deteriorating little by little.
The factor that deteriorates the relationship between Cao Xiu and Cao Zhao is actually very simple, because of "learning".
Studying is not for parents...
This may be the most common saying as parents in ancient and modern times, both in China and abroad, and in thousands of years.
But the problem is that in a large number of children, they are most disgusted with this sentence.
The same is true for Cao Zhao.
Although Cao Xiu always told him that studying hard can be both civil and military, so that Cao Zhao would not refute it every time, but he did not agree with it in his heart. He felt that Cao Xiu asked him to study hard and practice civil and military, just to make up for Cao Xiu's regret back then, so he imposed this responsibility on him.
And if you learn well, isn’t it just a topic of conversation for parents to show off? What’s the point? Didn’t you see other people’s parents and didn’t ask for so much? Isn’t it just a good life? Those children of the Xiahou family of Cao eat and drink every day, and fly eagles and dogs are also free and happy? Why do I have to work so hard every day, and I will be scolded if I can’t learn well?
Of course, the "swearing" that Cao Zhao felt may be just accusation.
Because Cao Xiu could easily see that Cao Zhao was not concerned about certain things.
Cao Xiu accused Cao Zhao of this attitude.
Especially in learning.
It is obvious that learning and practicing civil and military affairs all have to endure hardships.
Cao Xiu naturally understood this, and Cao Xiu could understand that everyone has different talents. Some people are good at something, while others are not good at it. But he felt that it was not that Cao Zhao was not good at it, but that Cao Zhao was unwilling to do it. As long as Cao Zhao was willing to do it, he could do it very well. So why couldn’t Cao Zhao do it seriously?
Cao Xiu can agree that Cao Zhao was unable to reach certain heights in some things because of his lack of talent, but he was unable to recognize that Cao Zhao had vained his talent because of his laziness and wrong attitude.
Cao Xiu thought that this kind of thing was the most unacceptable thing as his father.
Your own children can be better, so why should fathers indulge their laziness and make them mediocre?
Although Cao Zhao was so smart and smart when he was young, he also set ambition to be both civil and military. But why did he put this ambition aside when he grew up? Whenever Cao Xiu mentioned this matter, he looked like his parents were dead, but he could have joked and had fun with others?
Cao Xiu looked at the Hussars inside and outside the courtyard, and then said to Cao Zhao: "You can know that "a gentleman is a gentleman. He is a Chinese man, and he is a Chinese man, and he is a Chinese man for thousands of years." How can this sentence be explained?"
There were Husseus soldiers inside and outside the courtyard. Of course, Cao Xiu could not say anything that I wanted to cause trouble. He could only explain some words in a more obscure way to extend some meanings.
But this sentence came to Cao Zhao's ears, and only one thought arose in Cao Zhao's mind—
【Here I'm here again, I'm going to scold me again!】
