Chapter 232 Shocking the hero

At the foot of Dingjun Mountain, Cao Cao stationed his troops for a long time and was at a stalemate with Liu Bei.

But for Cao Cao at this time, whether it was a stalemate or a battle, he had failed strategically.

Because the Han River grain route had been threatened by Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun, it was impossible to transport grain and grass smoothly, so Cao's army was increasingly short of grain.

Once the food shortage incident breaks out and Cao's troops are in chaos, not only will they be unable to expel Liu Bei from Hanzhong, but they will collapse internally first.

If you want to counterattack and take the initiative strategically, you have to send troops out of Yangping Pass, break through Gao Xiang's camp, and cut off Liu Bei's food route.

If Liu Bei's food supply route is cut off and Liu Bei's legitimate son Liu Adou is captured, then Liu Bei will be at a loss in advance and retreat, and his defeat will be certain.

"Report!" The messenger came in and knelt down to report: "Report to the King of Wei, Liu Bei sent Liu Feng down the mountain to fight."

Cao Cao angrily cursed: "The little boy selling shoes actually sent his adopted son to challenge me! This is clearly a provocation to me! If I call Huang Xu'er, Liu Xuande's adopted son will be chopped into pieces by me, Huang Xu'er."

Meat!"

He stood up and shouted: "Tighten the camp, no fight!"

"No!" the messenger stood up and left.

"Haha..." Cao Cao suddenly laughed and said: "It doesn't matter if he sends fake men to fight. If Zi Dan and Gong Ming defeat Gao Xiang, cut off Liu Bei's food route, and capture Adou's son, even if Liu Feng has the courage of Lu Bu

, so what?"

"I'm afraid that when Liu Bei and others rush to surrender, Liu Feng's son will kneel there obediently and beg for forgiveness."

"So, if I ignore it at this time, what can he do to me?"

As Cao Cao talked eloquently, all the soldiers under his tent immediately looked like they were suddenly enlightened. They all stroked their beards and nodded, showing their deep admiration for King Wei's strategic vision.

At this moment, Pegasus suddenly came to report: "General Cao Zhen reported that our army failed to capture Gaoxiang's army camp, General Xu Huang was killed by Liu A's fighting formation, our army was defeated and unable to come back to Yangping Pass!"

"What! How is this possible?" Not only Cao Cao, but also his subordinates and generals all exclaimed in shock.

Everyone looked at the soldier who sent the message with extremely shocked eyes.

Cao Zhen failed to capture Gao Xiang's camp, so that's it. After all, the combat power of the two sides was almost the same, and the outcome was originally between 50 and 50.

But Xu Huang had thousands of elite soldiers under his command. According to the previous arrangement, four thousand troops were to attack the camp with only five hundred soldiers, eight to one.

In addition, Xu Huang is a famous general in the world. He is both wise and brave. He can fight with any strong general in the world without losing. How could he die at the hands of Liu Adou?

That Liu Adou, Liu Chan's son, who is only eleven or twelve years old, can actually kill Xu Huang in a formation, is simply the most impossible thing in the world!l

But this messenger was Cao Cao's confidant, and he was always there when transmitting military information. The officers and soldiers were familiar with it, and knew that he would never be an adulterer.

If what Cao Zhen said is true, doesn't it mean that the bandit general Xu Huang was really killed in battle!

Cao Cao Haoran Hongxia strode down from the commander's seat, took the document, read it ten lines at a glance, and couldn't help but burst into tears: "O Gongming, why did you leave me...it hurts me so much!"

Cao Cao was so angry that he opened his mouth and spit out a mouthful of blood.

"King!"

"King!"

Everyone hurried forward and helped Cao Cao.

"It's okay to be alone!" Cao Cao shouted and broke away from the support of everyone.

He stood in the middle of the big tent, pointed outside the tent in the direction of Dingjun Mountain and shouted: "Big-eared thief, I swear to eat your flesh!"

Then he returned to the commander's seat, looking at everyone with a pair of eagle eyes: "For a child with a yellow mouth, I lost a lone warrior! It is really hateful! Gentlemen, please tell me, what should we do next?"

In an instant, he transformed from an angry old man back into the hero of the day, and everyone admired him.

But at this time he asked his subordinates, who among them dared to speak?

Cao Cao has always disliked counselors and generals with strategic thinking. He hoped that counselors would contribute to his strategic thinking and that generals would faithfully implement his strategic intentions.

Every time there is a military meeting, he sets the tone before everyone can speak freely.

This is a characteristic possessed by any hero, but Wei King Cao Cao was even more serious.

Everyone else bowed their heads and remained silent. Only the leader of the march, Bo Yangxiu, stepped out of the queue and said: "Your Majesty, now Liu Bei is camped on Dingjun Mountain, with sufficient water sources and worry-free food routes, but our army's food routes are always at Huang Zhong.

Under Zhao Yun's threat, it is useless to continue the stalemate, so it is better to withdraw."

Cao Cao was silent in thought.



Dingjun Mountain.

"What? A Douzhen killed Xu Gongming? Gao Xiang also repelled Cao Zhen's attack?" Liu Bei was really overjoyed after hearing the envoy's detailed report.

The envoy said: "Yes, my lord, now Cao Jun has retreated to Yangping Pass and no longer dares to fight and provoke. Now our army has no worries about food supply. And Master Chan killed Xu Huang in the formation, which made him famous in the army, and many young soldiers

, all want to become a disciple of Mr. Zen and ask him to teach him a few moves."

"Hahaha..., okay, great! But it's a pity that Zilong is not here. Zilong taught Adou all his martial arts. If he hears this news, he will be very happy." Liu Bei laughed, and at the same time arranged to reward the envoy with a large sum of money.

.

After the envoy withdrew from the military tent, Fa Zheng stepped forward and cupped his hands and said: "Congratulations, lord! Congratulations, lord! Master Chan has such power at such a young age. He will definitely follow the lord throughout the country of Han Dynasty in the future."

"Haha... I would like to express my filial piety, but let's ignore the children's matters for the time being. Cao Mengde's army is still stalemate under Dingjun Mountain. Should our army attack and severely damage Mengde?" Liu Bei changed the topic to the current military affairs.

Strategically, but the smile in the corner of his eyes cannot be concealed.



The two heroes each have their own strategic thinking, but the Shu army camp outside Yangping Pass has already caused a sensation.

"Then was it really Mr. Chan who killed Xu Huang?"

"This is still false. Many people have seen it with their own eyes. Besides, is the battle formation of Xu Rufeng and aggressive fire like fire true? If there was no formation to kill Xu Huang and defeat Cao Jun, how could Master Chan have such great influence?

"

"Master Zen is so mighty!"

"Not only that, our army not only killed Xu Huang in this battle, but also defeated and killed five or six thousand Cao's troops, avenging Chen Shi's ten camps. Moreover, Cao's troops were hiding in Yangping Pass.

Don't dare to go out, our army's strategic encirclement is complete, if Cao Ah Man does not surrender or retreat, there will be chaos in the front and rear, and he will collapse."

In the Shu army's camp, many soldiers said excitedly.

However, although the middle and upper-level generals cheered loudly and admired Feng Zhou's heroic deeds, they were still concerned.

After all, although Cao Cao's army lost thousands of people, they had a big business and could afford the loss. If Cao Cao made a few more attacks like this and suffered casualties, they could defeat Gao Xiang's army. By then, Cao Cao could also defeat Gao Xiang's army.

Cut off the Shu army's food route.

Of course, if Cao Cao does this, his strength will inevitably be weakened, and then Liu Bei can lead the main force to directly attack Cao Cao and completely defeat him.

Therefore, Cao Cao would not be so confused.

But who can say for sure? This is what Cao Cao did in the Battle of Guandu.

I just didn't expect that Yuan Shao was so incompetent and couldn't defeat Cao Jun's camp with his absolute advantage.

Ten days later, a piece of gratifying news came.

Cao Cao withdrew from Dingjun Mountain and crossed the Han River to the north. Under the repeated attacks by the Shu army led by Ma Chao and Wei Yan, Cao Cao's army was unable to stabilize. He withdrew from Hanzhong overnight and returned to Guanzhong via the Xiegu Road.

Yangping Pass also fell into the hands of the Shu army.

Feng Zhou followed Gao Xiang, led his army through Yangping Pass, entered Nanzheng, and met Liu Bei.

At this time, Liu Bei had already settled the people and sent Liu Feng and Meng Da to attack Shangyong and form a line with Jingzhou.

In this battle, the Shu army achieved a complete strategic victory.

You know, at this time, there were hundreds of thousands of people in Guanzhong, and the land was developed, and these hundreds of thousands of people could have enough to eat.

Cao Cao relocated 80,000 people in the western section of Hanzhong. Considering that "the people are seizing land and moving far away, they are not accustomed to the customs, the water and soil are inconvenient, and the families are destroyed because of the many people", not many people will reach the destination alive, so the gains outweigh the losses by moving the people.

However, Cao's army suffered huge losses and needed to recruit a large number of new soldiers. The migration of hundreds of thousands of people, corvee labor and expenses also caused the country to shake and uprisings in various places.

For Liu Bei and the Shu army, in addition to the 80,000 people in the western section of Hanzhong, the rest, including the three counties in the eastern section of Hanzhong, with hundreds of thousands of people and land, were all obtained by Liu Bei. It can be said that Liu Bei almost obtained Hanzhong

The victory of the battle.

Therefore, after seeing Feng Zhou, Liu Bei excitedly held him in his arms, laughed and said to Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Fazheng and others beside him: "Adou killed Xu Huang in battle when he was only twelve years old. It's really my family."

It’s called Qilin’er.”

Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Fazheng and others laughed, and their hearts were full of joy, because they knew that from now on, there would be successors to their career.

A rising star with both civil and military skills and splendid brilliance has already risen to prominence.

His fame will spread throughout Jingshu and China.
