Chapter 384: The Rapid March Joins Lu Yang
Xi Zhicai had never seen such a flustered and abnormal Cao Cao, and immediately took the letterhead in his hand, and there were only a few more than 30 words in his eyes.
Xi Zhicai thought about it for a while, and was immediately shocked, and before he knew it, his back and forehead were already in a cold sweat.
Just as Cao Cao's personal guards were about to send out the tent to order the withdrawal of troops, Cao Hong's panicked voice came from outside the tent, "Big brother...... Li Mu attacked Kunyang City...... The army has been ruined! ”
"Li Mu's army is now ...... Whence? ”
Cao Cao forcibly stabilized his mind, suppressed his very flustered look, and immediately shouted in a deep voice: "How is the Liangzhou army...... Attacking Kunyang City? ”
"Big brother! Now...... I don't know the whereabouts of Li Mu's department, but it's just ...... According to the report from our army scouts, the Liangzhou army was in a large camp thirty miles south of Dongwuju...... Nothing! ”
Seeing Cao Cao's terrifying face, Cao Hong was shocked, and then whispered.
"My lord! The villain is the deputy general of Kunyang City, an hour ago...... The Liangzhou army falsely claimed to be a subordinate of General Cao Hong, and came to escort grain and grass on the order of the lord. I waited until I saw that the Liangzhou army had a letter from General Cao, so I ...... He let the Liangzhou army enter the city. Outcome...... The Liangzhou army killed the general of Kunyang City, and burned all the grain and grass! ”
The deputy general of Kunyang City, who came with Cao Hong, saw Cao Cao's terrible look, and immediately knelt on the ground, kowtowed like pounding garlic, and begged with tears in his eyes: "Please lord...... Spare your life! ”
"My lord! Cao Hong is out of duty! ”
Before the deputy general of Kunyang City could speak, Cao Hong was already shocked into a cold sweat. Cao Hong immediately touched his waist, and when he didn't see the seal with him, he immediately knelt on the ground and pleaded in a deep voice: "Please punish the lord!" Cao Honggan is engaged in military law! ”
Cao Cao looked at Cao Hong and the deputy general of Kunyang City fixedly, and his mind was racing. At this time, Li Mu's army may have arrived at Dongping Mountain; Now, the grain and grass in Kunyang City are all destroyed, and the surplus food of the army can only last for a few days, but in three or five days, the morale of the army will inevitably be chaotic and the morale of the army will definitely plummet!
If you can't break through and return to Xu County as soon as possible, soon, the news of the destruction of grain and grass will spread throughout the entire military camp. At that time, the army of the Western Expedition will collapse without a fight! It seems that this lieutenant is going to be put to good use!
"It's come to this, and the blame is not on you both!"
Cao Cao had already made up his mind, raised his hand, motioned for Cao Hong and the deputy general of Kunyang City to get up, and then said in a deep voice: "You two go down first!" ”
The deputy general of Kunyang City hurriedly bowed and thanked the account. Cao Cao closed his slender eyes slightly, looking in the direction outside the tent, two bloodthirsty killing intent burst out of his eyes.
Three quarters of an hour later, Cao Cao and others got the news that Li Mu had occupied Dongping Mountain, blocking the way for the army to return to Xu County in the east.
After another quarter of an hour, when Cao Ying's people were at a loss, the scouts came with a military situation that could not be done alone, Pang Tong and Xu Huang led 20,000 troops, and the troops entered fifty miles from the west gate of Luyang City.
"At present, Li Mu's garrison on the front line of Luyang has increased to 50,000 people, and our army can fight...... Only 20,000 people! ”
Cao Cao looked at everyone with a solemn face, and asked in a deep voice: "Do you have ...... A good way to break out? ”
As soon as Cao Cao's words fell, Guo Jia lowered his head with shame on his face, how could he still have the high-spirited and uninhibited spirit of the past!
The generals of Cao Ying all bowed their heads with solemn faces and were silent!
Xi Zhicai locked his eyebrows that were about to be connected, and his brain began to fly, racking his brains and thinking hard about how to retreat from the enemy!
All of a sudden, Cao Jun's big tent was immersed in a terrible silence. At this time, it is really a pin drop!
After a long time, there was still silence in the big tent of the Chinese army!
"Lord!"
After a long time, Xi Zhi looked up at everyone, looked at Cao Cao again, and said with a solemn face: "For today's plan, first withdraw the soldiers of the northern, western, and southern battalions of Luyang City to the eastern battalion." Then, the lord divided his troops into two ways...... Break through and return to Xu County! ”
"Zhicai ......"
Before Cao Cao could ask, Guo Jia immediately asked urgently, "Ji ...... Will be anguish? ”
"Lord!"
"You can make the generals lead the main force...... Forcibly break through Dongping Mountain to attract the main force of the Liangzhou Army! The lord is the second to take the lead in the teacher...... Take the flight to detour to Kunyang ...... Back to Xu County! ”
"Xi Zhicai is only a shallow learner, so he can only think of this countermeasure! If...... Wenruo and Gongda are here...... I will not let my lord fall into such a dangerous and humiliating situation! ”
Xi Zhicai glanced at Guo Jia sideways, then stood up, gave a salute to Cao Cao, and said with a solemn face.
"My lord! What Zhicai said is very good! ”
Guo Jia didn't have time to think, and immediately said loudly: "Ji Ke! ”
"It's come to this, it's irreparable!"
Cao Cao glanced at Guo Jia with a complicated expression, let out a long sigh in his heart, and then said in a deep voice: "You follow me Cao Mengde to fight in the south and the north, and to fight in the east and west. This time to break through, we can concentrate our forces and fight to the death with the Liangzhou army! Even if I, Cao Mengde, died here, I have no regrets in my heart! ”
"The world can do without me! You can't live without the lord! ”
Cao Ren, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Hong, Le Jin, Li Dian, Xu Chu and others were more than moved in their hearts. Everyone immediately saluted Cao Cao, then knelt on the ground, and said with a resolute expression: "We are willing to lead the troops to fight to the death with the Liangzhou army, so as to respond to the main An Ran's return to Xu County!" Even if we are ten thousand deaths, we can still laugh at Jiuquan! ”
Cao Cao was stunned, in addition to being greatly moved, but also a little ashamed, his agitation method still played a great role.
"I'm Cao Mengde...... Can Ann escape alone? ”
Cao Cao stood up, saluted back to everyone, and then said in a deep voice: "You should return to Xu County with me!" ”
"Big brother! Don't hesitate! ”
"Zhongkang has the courage of ten thousand people, and he will be able to protect the eldest brother and return to Xu County safely! I'm willing to die to fight my big brother to break through! If it's as expected...... The Liangzhou army is about to come together! Big brother! Don't be undecided! ”
"Zhong Kang! The safety of the lord is entrusted to you! ”
Cao Ren hugged his fists and bowed, first comforted Cao Cao with a sincere face, and then looked at Xu Chu with a solemn face, and said in a deep voice.
"Please rest assured, General Zixiao!"
Xu Chu saluted Cao Ren, and then, with a resolute face, said: "Even if Xu Chu dies, he will protect the lord and return to Xu County safely!" ”
The more Cao Cao was moved, the more ashamed he became!
He took advantage of the loyalty of the generals!
"Big brother!"
Seeing that Cao Cao was still hesitant, Cao Ren said in a deep voice with a sincere face: "Don't let down the brave loyalty of the generals!" ”
At this moment, Cao Cao's personal guards entered the tent, and Shi Liyu reported: "Lord Qiqi, the Liangzhou army has come from the east and west, and it is now less than thirty miles!" ”
Once again, everyone was shocked!
