The first thousand three hundred and four chapters wash away the humiliation of the defeated army
Chapter 1,304 Washing away the humiliation of the defeated army
Outside Hulin Port, the army where Yi Xiaotian and others were stationed stopped for a while.
The purpose is naturally to receive news from the defenders of Hulin.
According to what they said, it was true that after Liu Beijun stopped at Huling Port for a while, he left in the direction of Wancheng. The journey was much faster than before.
Similarly, after meeting the defenders of Hulin, the defenders of Hulin also confirmed the fact that the Sun Cao coalition led by Zhu Huan and Zhang Liao had passed by.
Of course, Yi Xiaotian was not surprised by this.
As a result, everyone's anxious hearts calmed down a lot.
After regrouping, the army continued to pursue southwestward, intending to follow Yi Xiaotian's plan to encircle Liu Bei at Wankou Port with the armies of Zhang, Liao, Zhu Huan, and Gansu and Ning.
Everyone was in a hurry because Yi Xiaotian had already listed the possible escape methods for Liu Bei and others.
The final option, or in other words, the only way out for Liu Bei and others, is to ask for help from Guan Yu, who is currently stationed near Jiangxia.
However, after Yi Xiaotian had anticipated this, Yi Xiaotian assigned Cao Ren to launch a long-lost diversionary war against Guan Yu, who had not had a war with him for a long time.
The purpose is naturally not to let Cao Ren defeat Guan Yu head-on, but to delay Guan Yu from going to support, giving them precious time to encircle and suppress Liu Bei in Jiangdong.
So every minute and every second now is very critical.
——
Even so, the people sitting on the carriage with Yi Xiaotian were still a little absent-minded.
I'm sorry...
This is the first time everyone has heard this name.
The key is... Hearing from Yi Xiaotian that there was such an invisible giant Buddha beside Cao Cao, for everyone, the fear was even greater than the shock.
For many years, people only thought that Cao Cao was able to achieve what he is today because of the mysterious Yi Xiaotian standing next to him. But what they learned today caused an extremely serious change in their understanding——
Hiding from me?
Who is the master?
If it is true, as Yi Xiaotian said, that there is such an invisible top counselor beside Cao Cao, who is above all the famous counselors such as Xun You, Xun Yu, Jia Xu, Cheng Yu and others, why... so far
So far, no one has disclosed any information about him?
Is it really because this person is too low-key?
But Yi Xiaotian didn't look like he was lying - he didn't need to lie, he blurted out that he was his best friend, so why would he fabricate such a character in front of everyone?
All in all, everyone is locked in the heart of this man whom Yi Xiaotian calls the Hidden Master. Although they don’t plan to bring it up, from now on, when facing Cao Cao, I’m afraid none of them will ignore it.
This man is named Mr. Miao.
It was still some way from Wankou, and during the last period before the siege began, the carriage was surprisingly quiet.
Except Zhao Yun——
"Sir, from now on Zilong will be the guard of you and Youjian Villa. There will no longer be a general named Zhao Yun in this world... I hope sir..."
"Zilong, don't worry. It's just like what I told them. Youjian Villa is Youjian Villa, and Cao Cao is Cao Cao... We can tell the difference clearly."
"Thank you sir..."
"Why are you so polite between you and me?"
"hey-hey…"
Seeing Zhao Yun's slightly shy, big boy-like smile, Yi Xiaotian knew that the "Xiong Yuan" he was familiar with was also back.
——
When Yi Xiaotian mentioned the arrangements he had made for the retreat of Liu Bei and others, he obviously did not ignore the presence of Cao Ren.
Judging from the signs that Liu Bei and others hurriedly evacuated Hulin without daring to make any pause, it seems that either Pang Tong or Zhuge Liang must have been aware of Yi Xiaotian's trap.
It's a pity... At this time, they have been forced to a dead end.
Yi Xiaotian's inducement was like boiling a frog in warm water, causing them to miss the last chance to change their retreat route.
Today, Liu Bei's army is faced with a situation where life and death are only in the hands of others - success or failure, whether they can withstand the following Jiangdong's pursuers is one thing, but what if Guan Yu's reinforcements are delayed?
Come here...they are causing the sky to fail and the earth to fail.
At this juncture, in the direction of Xiangyang, Cao Ren had mobilized all the troops that could be mobilized near Xiangyang at the moment. After finding out all the information about Guan Yu's garrison, he was about to set off to intercept Guan Yu's army supporting Liu Bei.
At the foot of Xiangyang City, on the general's platform, Cao Ren was wearing red armor, and his eyes reflected the murderous spirit of a soldier.
As one of the generals of Cao's army who have guarded Xiangyang for many years, this attack is definitely his most important military operation in recent years.
It can be said that the next battle will basically determine the future ownership of Jingzhou and even the entire land south of the Yangtze River.
Before the war, Cao Ren was even mentally prepared to drag Guan Yu into the quagmire even if he had to pay a thousand times the price.
In other words, he really tied his head to his waist this time.
But on the other side, looking at the awe-inspiring scene before the army attacked, Cao Ang felt mixed emotions at the moment.
"Good fellows! We, the Xiangyang soldiers, have been guarding the south gate of the Wei Dynasty for many years! Now it's finally time to fight to the death with Liu Bei of Jingnan!"
"I believe you all know this already! Liu Bei's army is now lingering on the land of Jiangdong! And our goal is to hold back the army led by Guan Yu. Even if we have to pay a painful price, we must kill Guan Yu.
The nail is outside Jiangdong!"
"You! Are you ready to die for the founding of the Wei Dynasty?"
Not only did Cao Ren's voice not tremble in the cold wind, but it was filled with chills and chills, spreading farther and wider, like a flame that would never go out in winter, igniting every Xiangyang city.
The blood in a soldier's chest.
"The soldiers of Xiaoying Camp dare to die!"
"The soldiers of Yuchang Camp dare to die!"
"The soldiers of Jinniu Camp dare to die!"
"..."
Immediately following Cao Ren's call, under the stage, the black military formation burst into waves of overwhelming responses.
Dare to die - every soldier in the battalion dares to die!
Such a spectacular scene has not happened for a long time since the Red Cliff.
Many people may not know that for Cao Jun in Xiangyang, they have been waiting for this day for too long. Three years of grievances have piled up to this day, all of which have turned into the kind of anger they had when they fought to the death - no one has lost their temper.
Already?
As a soldier, as a soldier, who would want to be called a defeated soldier throughout his life?
But this time, Yi Xiaotian gave them this opportunity, and they must use their own hands to wash away the shame of the past.
Looking at this scene, Cao Ang's previous entanglement seemed to have faded away.
