Chapter 634: Cao Cao's helplessness

Wang Can couldn't get a solution from Jia Xu's mouth, got up and walked outside the tent.

Jia Xu and the others also followed out of the camp, and after several people separated, they went to deal with their own affairs.

Outside the camp, Guo Jia and Zhao Yun commanded the soldiers to dig pits, and each soldier struggled to dig tunnels to block Cao Cao's knife cart. Wang Can took Dian Wei forward, and saw that Guo Jia asked the soldiers to dig a tunnel about three zhang long, and then the width of the middle was seven feet to allow the soldiers to walk, and then dug a three-zhang long tunnel, and so on.

There were a lot of soldiers in the army, and it rained heavily yesterday, and the soil was soft, so it was easy to get started.

Before Cao Cao's army arrived, many tunnels had been dug.

Even if the knife cart made by Cao Cao could cross one tunnel, there were many tunnels to stop it, and it was very difficult for the knife cart to get within ten zhang of the tent.

As a result, Cao Cao's knife cart was completely useless.

After digging the tunnel, Wang Can ordered the soldiers to rest, and then went back to the camp to wait for Cao Cao to lead the army.

Because the road was muddy and slippery, and the wheels of the knife cart were rolling in the mud, it was not easy to move forward, and it was easy to get stuck in the mud, so it took nearly two hours for the Cao battalion soldiers to approach Wang Can's camp. Cao Cao had not yet arrived at Wang Can's camp, so he didn't know that Wang Can had dug a pit for him.

Cao Cao was full of confidence and ordered his soldiers to blow the horn and beat the war drums.

"Boom! Boom! ……”

The sound of the drums was vigorous and exciting, making the blood of the soldiers rushing to the road boil and they were extremely excited.

"Woo! Woo! ……”

The sound of the horn was high-pitched and echoed in the road. The sound of war drums and trumpets sounded incessantly, so that the birds in the woods on both sides of the road were also startled, fluttering and fluttering and flying away. Cao Cao rode on a horse, and the war horse was one foot deep, and one foot shallow carried Cao Cao forward.

He turned his head, looked at Xi Zhicai, and said, "Zhicai, with the knife car charge, this time you will definitely be able to defeat Wang Can and achieve victory." Cao Cao was full of confidence, with an excited look on his face, and his dark eyes flashed with excitement, he was very happy, looking forward to the moment when he arrived at Wang Can's camp.

As for Xi Zhicai, he is not as optimistic as Cao Cao.

The knife car charge must be taken by surprise in order to be effective.

Once the knife cart leaves the camp, it will be exposed to Wang Can's sight, and it will be easy to find a way to crack it. However, Xi Zhicai had no other way, because the army's grain and grass for three months were robbed, and there were only a few days of grain and grass left in the army, and they didn't even have the qualifications to fight a protracted war, so they had to fight a quick battle and a decisive battle with Wang Can as soon as possible.

If Wang Can and Cao Cao led their troops out of the camp and fought a decisive battle on the battlefield, the knife cart would have the effect of surprise.

However, they pushed the knife cart slowly forward, giving Wang Can time to prepare calmly, so after the grain and grass were robbed, Cao Cao's good situation was broken at once, and he became very passive and dangerous.

The army continued to advance and stopped outside Wang Can's camp.

When the tunnels outside Cao Cao's camp came into Cao Cao's eyes, the corners of Cao Cao's mouth twitched, his eyes erupted with raging anger, and his body kept trembling.

Damn it!

Hateful!

Cao Cao scolded Wang Can in his heart and greeted Wang Can's ancestors. Cao Cao looked at the tunnels and reacted, knowing that this was temporarily excavated by Wang Can to resist the knife car. His body trembled constantly, his teeth chattered, and his eyes widened, staring at Wang Can's camp.

At this time, Wang Can led people out of the camp tent with a smile on his face.

Wang Can laughed and said, "Mengde, you led a large army to come here to beg for food?" Or is it to welcome Cao Ren back? Don't worry, I will treat Cao Ren well and let him eat and sleep well. As for your food, I will let my soldiers eat it too. Well, if you want to attack the camp, I'm here to wait, and if there's nothing else to do, withdraw your troops and go back. ”

"Hahaha......"

Wang Can laughed loudly, his face full of playful expressions.

When Cao Cao heard this, the corners of his mouth kept twitching.

At this time, I heard Wang Can say: "Mengde, I heard that you only have a few days of food and grass in the army, you rush back all the way, the food and grass are not enough, and you have to continue to waste time here, aren't you afraid of starvation?" ”

When the soldiers of Cao Ying heard this, they immediately blew up the pot, didn't they say in the morning that there was still a month's worth of food? Why is there only a few days of food? The soldiers whispered in a low voice, their faces looking surprised.

Wang Can's words directly poked at Cao Cao's weakness.

Since the war between Cao Cao and Wang Can, Xiahoudun had his left arm cut off, Cao Ren was captured again, and the grain and grass of the army for three months were also robbed by Wang Can.

Looking at the three-zhang long and nearly seven-foot-wide ravine, Cao Cao's heart was full of helplessness.

It took nearly eight days to build knife trucks, but in the end, it didn't come in handy.

The reason for this is that the grain and grass were robbed, which exposed the knife cart to Wang Can's eyes.

If the army's food and grass remained, Cao Cao could fight Wang Can on the battlefield instead of here. When Wang Can was defenseless, the knife cart suddenly went out, and he could kill Wang Can by surprise. However, the current situation was a gentle order from Wang Can, asking his soldiers to dig a few tunnels and block his knife cart outside.

Cao Cao was silent, and suddenly fell silent.

What to do?

At this moment, a difficult problem was placed in front of Cao Cao.

Seeing Cao Cao's hesitation, Wang Can had a cheerful smile on his face. It's good to have Jia Xu, an old fox, a simple ploy, so that Cao Cao's big killer will become scrap copper and rotten iron, and it will be useless. Wang Can's face turned grim, and he shouted: "Meng De, since you don't want to fight, let's go back!" Rest assured, no one will laugh at you. ”

"Hahaha......"

However, it was said that it was not a laugh, but the soldiers behind Wang Can laughed.

One by one, the soldiers stared at Cao Cao, and their hot gaze made Cao Cao ashamed and indignant.

Since he led the army, even if he was defeated by Dong Zhuo's army, he had never encountered such a humiliation, but when facing Wang Can, Cao Cao had nothing to do, which made Cao Cao angry in his heart at the same time, and at the same time, a trace of unwilling thoughts rose. His family background is better than Wang Can, his knowledge is better than Wang Can, and his official position is not lower than Wang Can, so why should he lose to Wang Can?

Unwilling!

Very unwilling!

At this time, Xi Zhicai rode up and said in a low voice: "Lord, in the past, Gou Jian destroyed Wu, and he could lie down and taste his courage, can't the lord even stand this humiliation?" ”

After a pause, Xi Zhicai said again: "Besides, the retreat of the lord is not a real retreat, it is to watch from the wall. With the current situation of the lord, it is no longer possible to have a hard encounter with Wang Can, instead of envying the fish in the abyss, it is better to retreat and close the net, and the lord withdraws from this war, so that he can be a bystander, watch from the outside, and better grasp the situation. ”

Cao Cao's expression was cloudy, still hesitant.

Xiahou Yuan knew that the situation was unfavorable to Cao Cao, so he also rode up and said, "Lord, the city of Chang'an is strong, let's let Wang Can attack according to the intention of the military division, and avoid the limelight for the time being." ”

Cao Cao's eyes were closed, he took a deep breath, and the expression on his face suddenly relaxed.

He adjusted his mentality, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and roared loudly: "Wang Can, this time you are amazing, I will withdraw my troops and leave immediately, I hope you can capture Chang'an City, and when the time comes, I will give you 'congratulations'." After Cao Cao said this, he then ordered the soldiers to return and prepare to leave.

However, the mutation protrusions.

Just as Cao Cao was about to withdraw his troops, the sound of war drums sounded around him.
