Chapter 145: The wall fell down and thousands of people pushed it, and the drum broke and everyone beat it
Defeat, Wancheng was defeated!
Cao Cao suffered an unforgettable defeat in his career.
It’s been years since I’ve felt this way…
The last time Cao Cao was defeated to this point and fled in disgrace, it was the eighteen princes who attacked Dong Zhuo. He went to chase Dong Zhuo alone. In the end, Rongyang was defeated and his boss was exhausted.
At that time, he didn't know that there was Yi Xiaotian, a wine shop owner with incredible insight...
Since marrying Yi Xiaotian, it can be said that Cao Cao has been going smoothly all the way, whether it is conquering the north or south, or cultivating silkworms. It is precisely because of this that this defeat made him heartbroken.
"I regret not listening to Brother Yi's words..."
Cao Cao, who escaped from Wancheng, wiped the sweat from his forehead and murmured in his heart...
"Father, we'll reach the border of Xudu in another fifty miles. I think it's safe to come there!" Cao Ang raised his whip and pointed at the road ahead and said...
The current situation is that Cao Cao is so high-spirited that only less than a thousand of the tens of thousands of troops who marched south to Wancheng remain.
Most of the tribesmen were dispersed, and they may not be able to assemble in a short time. Many innocent soldiers were buried in Wancheng because of Cao Cao's wrong behavior...
This...this battle was fought!
When he thought of this, Cao Cao clenched his fists, his brows were still furrowed, and there was no expression on his entire face.
Huh... take a long breath.
After all, thanks to Cao Ang's arrangements, he survived. His second son Cao Pi and nephew Cao Anmin also survived. Even Dian Wei survived despite being seriously injured. This can be considered a blessing among misfortunes.
?
Suddenly, Cao Cao suddenly realized something...
He raised his eyes and looked at Cao Ang sharply. "Ang'er, the person who suggested 'having three horses ready at all times' was your teacher Yi Xiaotian from a private school?"
"Reporting to father, it's... it's sir." Cao Ang answered without thinking.
After this sentence fell to the ground, Cao Ang immediately dismounted and knelt on the ground. "Father, the child is guilty..."
Um...guilty?
Cao Cao was slightly startled. How could this be guilt? This was meritorious service. If Cao Ang had not come with three armored horses this time, the consequences would have been disastrous.
"Ang'er? What crime are you guilty of? My son, please don't belittle yourself!" Cao Cao hurriedly got off his horse, ignoring the injury on his arm, and helped Cao Ang up.
"Report to father..." Cao Ang's expression was serious and his tone was meticulous.
"In addition to telling me to always have three armored horses by my side, sir, he also specifically asked me to ensure that General Dian Wei is sober, that he does not drink alcohol, and that he keeps his two halberds by his side..."
Cao Ang's words reached Cao Cao's ears word for word.
Phew... I think of how important Dian Wei played in the process of escaping and ascending to heaven!
For a moment, Cao Cao was extremely shocked by Yi Xiaotian's amazing insight.
Furthermore, Cao Cao felt that Ang'er did the right thing!
Even if everyone misunderstands him, he still has to make sure that the three armored horses are by his side! Even if he tries to make his father angry, he still has to make sure that Dian Wei’s weapons are at his side and he doesn’t drink any alcohol.
If it is Yi Xiaotian's insight that made arrangements for this incident in advance and made complete preparations, then Cao Ang's presence on the scene should also be full marks!
If you don’t do this, it’s quite right. How can you be guilty?
When he thought of this, Cao Cao's eyes narrowed, and there were a few big question marks between his eyebrows.
But at this moment, Cao Ang's voice came out one after another. "Sir, he knows things like a god. I acted according to your instructions, but...but..."
Cao Ang's throat suddenly felt more choked up, and he looked a little ashamed and a little embarrassed to speak.
Finally, he bowed his hands and knelt down.
"Sir, you have given me many instructions, asking me to pay attention to Wancheng's military advisor Jia Xu and Jia Wenhe...but..."
"But... I lost track of him at the banquet. If it hadn't been like this, I would have discovered his conspiracy in advance, my father would not have been in danger, and the soldiers of the three armies would not have died innocently. This... this is all my fault.
It’s all because I didn’t...fail to fulfill Mr.’s instructions.”
Boom...boom!
Cao Ang's words were like thunder, striking down on Cao Cao's head one after another. Cao Cao felt as if his head was about to be struck bald.
Shame, shame, guilt, shame...all the emotions suddenly appeared on Cao Cao's cheeks, making him feel like he was about to cry without tears.
Cao Ang did a good job, and he followed the instructions of his husband Yi Xiaotian.
He had recovered the losses of Wancheng's defeat to the greatest extent, but it was Cao Cao who, because of his expansion, arrogance, arrogance, and arrogance, completely ignored Brother Yi's instructions... This led to the great disaster.
disaster!
call…
Cao Cao took a long breath, feeling very uncomfortable in his heart.
"Ang'er, stop talking." Cao Cao helped Cao Ang up again. This kind-hearted, filial, and kind-hearted boy blamed himself for every mistake. He was such a silly boy... "Ang'er, this time you impress my father!"
Cao Cao put his hand on Cao Ang's shoulder. In this battle, he really saw a son who was calm in the face of danger, turned the tide, and was brave and fearless...
Of course, Cao Cao was even more aware that Brother Yi's words should be treated with extreme seriousness. The consequences of turning a deaf ear to it would be as miserable as it is now!
correct…
Cao Cao suddenly remembered that it seemed that there was a wine shop not far from here, only about twenty miles away, right?
When he thought of this, Cao Cao hurriedly ordered, "The whole army will camp thirty miles south of Xudu City. Don't enter the city first, let alone send news back, to avoid chaos in Xudu!"
Cao Cao made the most correct deployment...
Wancheng is too close to Xudu. Will Zhang Xiu take advantage of the situation and attack Xudu?
Will the news of Zhang Xiu's attack cause unrest in Xudu City?
And now that we are ready to fight Zhang Xiu at any time, how should we boost the morale of the remnant army?
These are all questions!
Faced with this series of problems, Cao Cao did not dare to make any independent decisions. He rushed to Youjian Villa alone to ask Brother Yi for advice!
"Just wait for me thirty miles south of the city. I'll be back as soon as I go..."
Cao Cao endured the pain in his arm, got on his horse, and planned to gallop away...
Dian Wei was about to open his mouth and accompany him to protect him, but at this moment...
"Mengde, Mengde..."
Visible in the distance, dust was flying, and Xia Houyuan led his remaining troops to rush over.
It seemed that his men were not many in number, only a few hundred, and they all looked disgraced. It was obvious that they had suffered a defeat and had been dispersed a lot.
"Here comes the wonderful talent!" Cao Cao was a little excited when he saw Xia Houyuan.
Three armies are easy to come by, but a general is hard to find. These Qiao Pei warriors have a life-long friendship with him... "As long as nothing happens, it will be fine. If you are talented, nothing will happen!"
Cao Cao raised the corners of his mouth, finally showing a slight smile.
But Xia Houyuan bowed his hands, as if he had been wronged. "Meng De, that bastard Yu Jin, he... he rebelled! He killed our Qingzhou soldiers... and even set up camp in Wuyin County, digging deep trenches, as if
Just to guard against us! He...he is such a shameless villain!"
The Yu Jin mentioned by Xia Houyuan was the general of another team that Cao Cao conquered Wancheng.
At this moment, Xia Houyuan was really anxious...
Wancheng was defeated in the first battle, and they could afford to lose. Many Qingzhou soldiers were killed by Zhang Xiu's cavalry, and they all accepted it...
But what Xia Houyuan couldn't accept was that Yu Jin's tribe actually attacked their Qingzhou soldiers. Is this okay? Xia Houyuan thought, Yu Jin must have seen that the momentum was not right and was about to rebel...
Well…
Cao Cao waited quietly for Xia Houyuan to finish speaking, and his brows furrowed even more tightly.
To be honest, he trusted Yu Jin. Yu Jin was a talent he discovered in Yanzhou. In these years of fighting in the south and north, Yu Jin also made a lot of contributions.
However, as the saying goes, when a wall falls, everyone pushes it, and when a drum breaks, everyone beats it. In this situation, even if he rebels and surrenders to Yuan Shao or Zhang Xiu, it is not impossible!
This? But what should we do?
Cao Cao couldn't make up his mind whether Yu Jin was rebelling, and how to deal with Yu Jin's judgment, Cao Cao was even more at a loss what to do!
That's all... let's rush to Youjian Villa first and listen to Brother Yi's advice!
With this in mind, Cao Cao said nothing, just whipped his horse whip violently, and rode away...
