The messenger soldiers entered, and Cao Cao sat at the head, looking extremely majestic. The soldiers suddenly knelt down and crawled on the ground.
"Your Majesty, the Landu City Army reports!"
Cao Cao raised his head and glanced at the kneeling soldiers. The chamberlain on the left quickly stepped forward, took the military report and turned to Cao Cao's side.
The imperial study room fell into a brief silence. Angry expression appeared on Cao Cao's face, and the air around him instantly turned cold. The soldier lowered his head and felt a huge pressure approaching him invisibly, and a suffocating feeling spread throughout his body.
"Cao Hong, Chen Qingzhi, what are you doing?"
"Bai Qi, Yue Fei, and Ran Min, Emperor Chu sent all three brave generals to Jiangdu. It seems that the war on the southern front needs to be re-planned."
"Instruct Cao Hong and Chen Qingzhi to lead the army to withdraw from Jiangdu, and inform Xiahou Yuan to lead troops there. The troops of Nanque City will kill all the Chu troops."
The two chamberlains hurriedly walked out of the palace. At this moment, Xun Yu hurriedly arrived outside the imperial study. He glanced at the chamberlains who left and entered the imperial study.
"Your Majesty, there is a battle report from Soochow. Generals Zhang He and Xiahou Dun have been defeated and have withdrawn from Soochow."
"What!"
Cao Cao was furious. When Sun Jian died, the generals of Soochow were devastated and the court was in turmoil. How could Zhang He and Xiahou Dun be defeated?
Xun Yu was so frightened that he stepped forward and handed the battle report to Cao Cao. There was a loud bang and Cao Cao slapped the battle report on the wooden case.
"It's the Chu army again. Is our Northern Wei army so vulnerable?"
Everyone knows that Cao Cao obtained the treasure from the Thousand-Year Tomb on the island in the North Sea, but Leng Nuan knew that he had indeed gained a lot from the Thousand-Year Tomb, but it was only for himself.
As for the elixirs he brought back from the underground palace, he has not used them for the Northern Wei army until now. He only gave the elixirs that really improved his cultivation to the generals. The most abundant elixirs were too overbearing, and Cao Cao felt that
I have always been hesitant.
Now that the wars on the southern and western fronts were losing one after another, he once again thought of the taboo pill, but he quickly suppressed the thought.
"Xun Yu, there is no news from Jia Xu yet. What is the situation at the Zhan Zhan Academy?"
The Chu army had many elite soldiers, including Bai Qi, Ran Min, and Yue Fei on the southern front, and Huang Zhong, Ma Chao, Zhang Fei, and Guan Yu on the western front at Soochow. All seven of them were brave men in the world.
Cao Cao has less than ten generals under his command who can compete with these seven, so now he only hopes that the Zhan Zhan Academy can send strong generals for reinforcements.
at this time.
Outside Luoyang City.
The rumble of horse hoofbeats was heard, smoke and dust flew into the sky, and twenty generals in armor were approaching Luoyang City.
The team of twenty people moved forward, but the iron-blooded murderous aura emanating from them was earth-shattering and shocking. It was simply stronger than thousands of troops.
These people were all strong generals sent by the Zhanzheng Academy to help Cao destroy Chu. These twenty people were all senior generals of the Zhanzheng Academy. They came with whips and horses, holding high the war flags in their hands. The generals who defended the city in the Northern Wei Dynasty ordered the people to retreat.
Ten people rode into Luoyang, the sacred capital.
In the royal study.
When Cao Cao received news from Jia Xu that the generals from the Zhan Zhan Academy had entered the city, he looked excited and laughed heartily.
"I have twenty divine generals, so why worry about not being able to annihilate the Chu army!"
...........
a long time.
Under the leadership of Jia Xu, twenty generals wearing armor and holding weapons entered the palace and strode towards the imperial study.
This time Cao Cao vowed to sweep the world of the fifth rank in one fell swoop. Just as the Zhan Zhan Academy offered him an olive branch, the strength of the two parties hit it off and they unified the world of the fifth rank. Cao Cao will have the opportunity to enter the Hundred Kingdoms War. Now it seems that to unify the fifth rank, he must first destroy the Chu State.
Outside the Imperial Study Room.
Cao Cao stood on the high platform and watched intently when he saw Jia Xu coming up the long steps with twenty generals behind him. The smile on his face became even stronger, as if he was looking at the scene after victory.
"Jia Xu, a humble minister, pays homage to the Emperor!"
Jia Xu bowed and saluted, and then twenty generals from the Zhanzhan Academy saluted Cao Cao one after another. His voice was like thunder, his movements were uniform, his marching aura burst out, and the surrounding sky was filled with strong murderous aura.
"The generals have come from thousands of miles away, their saddles and horses are tired, and they enter the palace and sit down to talk."
After entering the imperial study, Cao Cao motioned for everyone to take their seats. Jia Xu stood up and introduced twenty generals to Cao Cao one after another.
Han Qinhu, Deng Ai, Feng Yi, Yuan Chonghuan, Shi Dakai, Fan Kuai, and Guan Ying were all among them, and all twenty of them were capable of blocking a hundred people.
Cao Cao originally wanted everyone to rest first and discuss going to the front line another day, but was rejected by everyone. He had a mission and came without delay to help Wei attack Chu.
This was in line with Cao Cao's wishes, so he divided the twenty generals into four groups. Among them, the generals headed by Han Qinhu and Fan Kuai led their troops to the southern front and joined Cao Hong and Zhang He on the western front.
Generals Yuan Chonghuan and Shi Dakai led eight others to the direction of Qishan to join generals Xu Chu and Zhang Liao to kill the Chu army that was attacking Luoyang City.
Cao Cao deployed in the imperial study, thinking that with the addition of twenty strong generals he could completely defeat the Chu army, but he did not know that Landu City had already fallen.
Below Landu City.
Smoke filled the air, swords, guns, swords and halberds were everywhere, the ground was covered with thorns, and everything you could see was densely packed with arrows.
The battle flag of Cao Wei fell to the ground on the city, and the city gate was in tatters. Generals Bai Qi, Ran Min, and Yue Fei led the army to pursue Cao Hong and Chen Qingzhi.
Cao Hong and Chen Qingzhi thought they could guard Landu City for at least three days, but the Chu army did not stop at all and launched a strong attack on Landu City.
The 200,000 Chu troops were like tigers returning to the mountains and dragons entering the sea. They were invincible and fearless, especially the trapped camp and the dead soldiers camp who shouted slogans. They completely ignored life and death and never took a step back from the beginning of the attack.
.
In less than three hours, the Chu army successfully captured the city of Landu. The army held halberds, swords and swords, and quickly pursued the fleeing Northern Wei army.
This is how Bai Qi used his troops. Others were too desperate to pursue, but he did the opposite and pursued relentlessly, not giving Cao Hong and Chen Qingzhi's army any chance to breathe.
Time flies by, like a flying arrow, never to return. The rumble of horse hooves is heard under Nanque City, and smoke and dust hit the sky under the Han Mountain in the distance, and the sky and earth are dim.
At this time, two days had passed since the battle at Landu City. Chen Qingzhi and Cao Hong fled back with the remaining troops. For two days, the Chu army continued to pursue them, as if both men and horses were tireless. However, the 100,000-strong Northern Wei army arrived at Nanque City.
Less than thirty thousand people.
Cao Hong and Chen Qingzhi had no idea that when the three generals Bai Qi, Ran Min and Yue Fei pursued them, they had been using strategies and they did not lead the pursuit together.
The troops were divided into three groups, Bai Qi led the troops to pursue and kill, while Ran Min and Yue Fei led the troops to rest. On the contrary, Ran Min led the troops to pursue and kill, Yue Fei followed closely behind, and Bai Qi led the troops to rest.
In two days, the Chu army showed no signs of fatigue and pursued Cao Hong. Chen Qingzhi's two generals traveled thousands of miles and killed more than 60,000 enemy soldiers.
The guard of Nanque City looked at the soldiers coming in a hurry from outside the city, his eyes resting on the broken flags, and a hurried voice sounded, ordering the city gates to be opened, Cao Hong released, and General Chen Qingzhi to enter the city.
"defeat!"
"Big defeat!"
"A complete defeat!"
Cao Hong and Chen Qingzhi entered Nanque City. They looked tired, their hair was messy, and their armor was covered with dust.
After the second general entered the city, he jumped off his horse and rushed up to the city. He stared at the Chu army outside the city and found that Bai Qi was the only one leading less than 50,000 soldiers. There was a strong flame in his eyes.
"I'm so angry!"
"puff!"
Cao Hong's eyes were about to burst, and he shouted angrily, then a mouthful of blood spurted out, and he fainted. (To be continued)
