At the moment when the flag sacrifice ceremony ended, the atmosphere of the entire school field was mobilized, and Cao Liang, who was standing on the side of the high platform, could also feel the surging feeling of blood boiling, which made people's blood swell and full of desire to fight.

I have to say that the sacrificial flag is an excellent means of motivating morale, when the blood is sprinkled all over the handsome flag, people feel not fear but excitement, the blood of the whole body is flowing at an accelerated pace, even if the cowardly warrior is, at this moment, will become strong, brave and fearless.

Xiahou Xuan's face was solemn, he stood on the high platform that attracted everyone's attention, the sword in his hand was shining, his eyes were firm, his demeanor was calm, and his face was like a peaceful lake.

He has been waiting for this moment for a long time, and now he can finally take charge of tens of thousands of troops and go to conquer the enemy country with high spirits, and the ideal of life is about to become a reality, and his heart is already full of excitement.

Just as he was about to give the order to go out on the expedition, suddenly the officer hurriedly went up to the high platform, came to Xiahou Xuan's side, and whispered a few words in his ear.

Xiahou Xuan's face changed slightly, he did not give another military order, but withdrew his sword, and got off the high platform with the middle officer.

Originally, everyone was looking forward to it, just waiting for Xiahou Xuan to announce the military order to go out, but no one expected that there would be an emergency, Xiahou Xuan left the high platform without saying a word, leaving all the soldiers full of suspicions, all whispering there, not knowing what happened.

It was too sudden, it was suddenly caught off guard, and the emotions of all the soldiers were already high, and they were waiting for the military order to go out, but the military order was not issued, and the main general was gone, what is going on?

Cao Liang also frowned, he was relatively close to Xiahou Xuan, and he could clearly see the change in Xiahou Xuan's face, originally Xiahou Xuan's attitude was quite resolute and resolute, calm and calm, but after receiving the report from the Chinese officer, his expression immediately changed greatly, and his face turned blue, obviously something happened that surprised him, otherwise with Xiahou Xuan's bearing, he would definitely not be so out of shape.

But what happened, Cao Liang was also confused, and it seemed that only when Xiahou Xuan reappeared in sight, would the answer be known.

Yanghu, who was standing on the side, leaned over to Cao Liang and said in a low voice, "Brother Ziming, what's the matter?" ”

Cao Liang looked innocent: "How would I know?" General Xiahou left in a hurry, obviously there was something important, wait for it, and he will know soon. ”

Yanghu said with a determined face: "It will definitely not be a good thing, General Xiahou is only one sentence away from announcing the expedition, at this juncture, what can be important and delay the expedition, it must be related to the affairs of the expedition, according to my opinion, most of the things about this expedition will be yellow." ”

Du Yu hurriedly said: "Uncle brother, don't dare to talk nonsense in the army, and be careful to treat you for the crime of confusing the army." ”

Yang Hu said nonchalantly: "I'm just talking in private, and only a few of us know, how can it be regarded as confusing the army's heart?" ”

Cao Liang said: "Uncle, don't be impatient, wait patiently for a while, there should be results." ”

Yanghu stopped talking, just waiting, just waiting, just practice standing.

However, things are obviously not so simple, Cao Liang said for a while, but after many moments, Xiahou Xuan still did not show up, which made the army of Zhengnan gradually become restless.

Originally, the ceremony of sacrificing the flag had mobilized the emotions of the whole army, but Xiahou Xuan's sudden departure made the morale of the whole army drop significantly, far less high than at the beginning.

And as time went by, the degree of morale declined faster and faster, although no one dared to make a loud noise, but private conversations were unavoidable, and people were speculating about the real reason for Xiahou Xuan's departure, and they were all eager to know what had happened.

Just when everyone was talking, Xiahou Xuan suddenly appeared on the high platform and appeared in everyone's sight.

The audience immediately became silent, and the eyes of 30,000 people were all focused on Xiahou Xuan's body, all waiting for Xiahou Xuan's military order.

Xiahou Xuan's face has obviously deteriorated a lot, and the previous look of arrogance and pride is now gone, his face is full of decadence, and his face is gray, just like a high rooster after defeating, he feels a little depressed.

He did not draw the sword at his waist again, but announced in a deep voice: "The expedition is temporarily canceled, and the soldiers and horses of each battalion will return to their respective camps and wait for orders." ”

"Why?" As soon as this news was announced, the whole army was like a frying pan, and people seemed to have this question in their hearts, why did this happen, what happened?

However, Xiahou Xuan didn't seem to have any intention of explaining, and after announcing this military order, he turned around in a dejected manner and slowly left the high platform.

In Cao Liang's view, Xiahou Xuan is like a deflated ball, dejected and listless, and completely different from before.

Cao Liang didn't have to doubt that there must have been some emergency situation that would cause this expedition to be aborted, judging from Xiahou Xuan's expression, this incident hit him very hard.

In fact, it is not difficult for Cao Liang to understand Xiahou Xuan's current mood, he was originally full of ambition and high spirits, and he was ready to lead the army to the south and make great achievements, but in the end, he withdrew the expedition and returned to his original state, such a blow is really uncomfortable.

The captain of each battalion, Sima, was already directing the troops to evacuate the school ground, and the military discipline of the Wei army was strict, and although this unbelievable thing happened, the discipline of the army was still there, and it did not turn into a mess.

Cao Liang walked forward quickly, intercepting Xiahou Xuan, who had just come down from the high platform, on the back side of the high platform, he stepped forward and arched his hand: "General Xiahou, what happened, why did you want to revoke the order to go out of the army?" ”

Xiahou Xuan's face was full of helplessness, and he sighed lightly and said: "The military situation has changed, I just received an urgent report from Huainan and Jingzhou, Wu Puppet Emperor Sun Quan raised an army of 200,000 troops, divided into four routes, and attacked in a big way, so the general urgently ordered to withdraw the expedition." ”

Cao Liang was stunned, the battle ahead had escalated, no wonder Cao Shuang would order a suspension of the expedition, in fact, this is also a very normal thing, if he disregarded the military situation and forcibly let Xiahou Xuan's 30,000 horses rescue Huainan, wouldn't it be for nothing.

Taking 30,000 people to resist the 200,000 troops of the Wu army is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg, not to mention the first time Xiahou Xuan has led an army to go on an expedition, even if he is a veteran of a hundred battles, he may not be able to fight such a battle of winning more with less and defeating the strong with the weak.
