Chapter 579: No time to explain, get in the car quickly
Cao Cao suddenly felt a little dizzy, but fortunately, because of the joint treatment of Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing, he would not pass out every time he felt dizzy.
However, this also proves how much impact the news of Sun Quan sending troops to Hefei gave him.
"Then...then what are you waiting for? Send reinforcements quickly..."
"Xiangyang is as stable as Mount Tai. Let Zilian rush to Hefei to help... No matter how hard it is, we can catch up..."
"Report!!"
Before Cao Cao finished speaking, the captain of the city guard from the south of the city rushed outside the door. His tone was extremely anxious. Before he could enter the door, he shouted at Cao Cao:
"Report to the Prime Minister! The Sun and Liu coalition forces outside the city have begun to attack the city! They even brought trebuchets. The South City Gate is currently under attack!"
"What? Why is it happening at this time!..."
Just as Cao Cao finished speaking, he suddenly realized clearly that Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang were just pretending to show their dejection to themselves. At this moment, they suddenly attacked fiercely. They must be cooperating with Sun Quan's offensive in Hefei...but...but...but
Could this be of any benefit to Liu Bei?
Naturally, Cao Cao didn't know that a few nights ago, due to a major defeat, Zhuge Liang, Zhou Yu and Liu Bei reached a rare and incredible treaty. As long as Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang were willing to help the Soochow people to hold off Xiangyang, they would wait until Hefei was captured by Sun Quan.
In exchange, Soochow is willing to help Liu Bei capture the four counties of Jingnan in one fell swoop.
The cooperation between the two parties was achieved instantly under the pressure of Cao Cao and Yi Xiaotian, and the decline in the past few days was just to numb Cao Cao's nerves.
This was bad news. Cold sweat suddenly appeared on Cao Cao's forehead. He quickly issued orders outside the gate, asking the south guard to inform Cao Hong who had already arrived in the city as soon as possible, and asked Cao Hong to lead the reinforcements to rush to the south gate.
"yes!"
The defenders left quickly, but Cao Cao, who stayed in the courtyard, did not feel any relaxation.
Because he knew that Jia Xu had one more thing he didn't say.
"Where's Brother Yi! Where has Brother Yi gone? Go and ask Brother Yi..."
If you have any questions, go to Yi Xiaotian. Maybe Yi Xiaotian has already expected this. This is a habit that Cao Cao can't do without now.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, Jia Xu shook his head:
"Prime Minister, I was about to say... Brother Yi seems to have received news from Xun Lingjun and Chang'an..."
"Han Sui from Xiliang...and Zhang Lu from Hanzhong colluded and led an army of 110,000 to kill Chang'an. Han Sui rebelled..."
At this time, Cao Cao really couldn't stand. He hurriedly held on to the pillar on the side, and suddenly remembered what Yi Xiaotian told him one day:
"In order to hide it from me and have peace of mind... I will find out in the future."
Cao Cao suddenly cheered up:
"No! Brother Yi had long expected that Hefei would be attacked by Sun Quan...didn't he send someone a few days ago..."
"Indeed, Prime Minister, I came here just to tell Prime Minister that before Brother Yi left, he asked someone to tell me that he asked you to cope with the war in Xiangyang, but he made many mistakes... Xiangyang is the place that cannot be given up -"
Jia Xu finally calmed down and told Cao Cao with a serious face:
"Over at Hefei, Wenpin should have led Jiangxia's troops to resist, and Xun Lingjun also sent General Zhang He, who had just settled in the court, to rush to the rescue. I am afraid that you are worried, so Brother Yi said that Zhang Liao can rush there quickly.
Hefei, said that he must have a way to defeat Sun Quan's offensive..."
Cao Cao opened his mouth wide, listening in the confusion as Jia Xu quickly spoke out the countermeasures Yi Xiaotian left for him, but Jia Xu obviously hadn't finished speaking yet. After a pause, Jia Xu continued:
"As for Chang'an... Brother Yi left in a bit of a hurry after receiving the letter from Xun Lingjun and Chang'an. He also took away the Marquis of Guannei... what did he say..."
"Brother Yi, what else did he say?"
Cao Cao hurriedly asked anxiously, but Jia Xu scratched his head in a rare move, as if he didn't know how to explain Yi Xiaotian's last words:
"He said...'No time to explain, hurry up and get in the car'..."
The two were silent for a moment in embarrassment and confusion, and finally Cao Cao let out a long breath:
"Brother Yi has his own judgment. We must not interfere with his decision. Since he has gone to Chang'an, we have to believe him!"
"Yes...I came here just to tell the Prime Minister this..."
Jia Xu nodded heavily, confirming Cao Cao's idea. Cao Cao was already a grown man. At least in terms of trusting Yi Xiaotian, he never intended to make a mistake.
Even Cao Cao felt that even if one day Yi Xiaotian told him that he planned to take Liu Xie's place and become the emperor himself, Cao Cao would personally send Yi Xiaotian to the dragon throne... Of course, Cao Cao knew that Yi Xiaotian
God would definitely not say such a thing.
After a short pause, Cao Cao seemed to have calmed down. The sound of huge rocks bombarding the city wall seemed to be heard in the distance, making Xiangyang, which had not been attacked for several days, finally become nervous again.
"Then what should we do?"
Cao Cao suddenly asked a question without thinking, but the next moment he patted his dizzy head, cursed himself and said:
"Hurry up and call Zixiao and the others! Gather the troops in the city and rush to the south gate to support! I...I am really old and confused..."
Jia Xu couldn't laugh or cry when he saw this operation, but he didn't say anything more. Together with Cao Cao, they walked out of the door and quickly rushed to the temporary military camp in the city...
——
Outside the city, Zhou Yu's face was still pale, and Zhuge Liang's face was still haggard, but at this moment, sitting on the high platform at the center of the camp, their eyes actually had a light that they had not seen for several days.
"This battle...even if there is only one soldier left...can't stop..."
Zhou Yu gritted his teeth and said, as if he wanted to avenge his shame with a battle, but both he and Zhuge Liang knew very well that from now on, all the soldiers who died here in Xiangyang were just cannon fodder before the victory in Hefei...
The blood-stained Xiangyang in the distance is like a meat grinder devouring lives, like a bottomless pit, greedily sucking the blood of countless soldiers.
Their eyes were firm, but their hearts were bleeding.
Zhang Fei...Zhao Yun...Dong Xi...Xu Sheng...they swept away the decadence of the previous days and seemed to burst out with unimaginable power in the desperate situation.
The terrifying firepower of the Moon-Chasing Crossbows was still pouring on the bodies of the Sun-Liu coalition soldiers, but this time, many of them, even though they were hit by several arrows and vomited blood, still continued to fight towards the city wall without mercy.
.
After all, there are no longer only locust-like feather arrows in the sky, but the huge rocks flying from the Sun-Liu coalition formation to the Xiangyang city wall——
The trebuchets entered the battle, and dozens of huge trebuchets were the last support of Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang.
Boom - Stone chips flew into the air, and Cao's army finally began to suffer extensive damage.
