Chapter 1026 The moon and stars are scarce, and the black magpie flies south
Garrisoned in the camp for a few days, and when the soldiers under his command regained their physical strength, Lu Bu waved his hand and marched to Dongwuyang.
"Hanshu Geographical Chronicles" contains: Dongwuyang, Yu Zhiluoshui, northeast to Qiancheng into the sea, through the county three, line a thousand and twenty miles. Mang said Wuchang.
The Battle of Bianqiu was defeated, and Liu Wei, escorted by Cao Cao and Liu Bei, fled for several days before returning to Dongwu Yang City.
When he set out on the expedition, the army of more than 200,000 was mighty, and everyone was full of confidence that he would return triumphantly one day.
When he returns now, there are only more than 10,000 people, and even Liu Wei, the son of heaven, is in decline. As for the soldiers who followed behind, their heads drooped, their banners withered, and their armor tattered.
Seeing this bleak scene, you don't need to ask to know that this battle was lost, and it was badly defeated.
The officials who stayed in the city also lowered their heads, honestly separating the two sides of the street, not daring to make any noise, lest they touch the head of the Son of Heaven and be killed on the spot.
Liu Wei was in a depressed mood, and he didn't have the heart to win the loyalty of these scholars again, so he went back to the palace directly. Qinglong died, the soldiers under his command died, those who fled, and many years of hard work were ruined, which is not a small blow.
He wanted to be quiet.
Liu Wei went to the palace, and Cao Cao saw two familiar faces among the hundred officials who came to greet him, uncles and nephews of the Xun family.
At the beginning of Liu Wei's ascension to the throne, he used the lack of talents in the country as an excuse to 'borrow' the uncles and nephews of the Xun family from Cao Cao, and then promoted to the rank of knight to calm his heart.
Xun Yu was named the first line of the three princes, and Xun Yu was also named the waiter, responsible for coordination.
As for this expedition against LΓΌ, Liu Wei deliberately left the two in the city, just to make the two of them alienated from Cao Cao, and then send people to provoke them so that they could be used for their own purposes.
Liu Wei could see that Xun Yu admired Cao Cao very much, but he was still loyal to the Han family in his bones.
grasped this point, and if you want Xun Yu to be loyal, it is possible.
It's just that the big defeat a few days ago, the defeat of the army was like a mountain, which made Liu Wei completely lose confidence and almost collapsed.
"Cao Gong, how could you lose so badly?"
Xun Yu came to Cao Cao, who had dismounted, and asked in a low voice.
His title for Cao Cao was also changed from the previous lord to 'Cao Gong'.
In Xun Yu's view, when today's son is very smart, and understands power and strategy, marching and arranging, and the art of war, he is really a rare master.
It is estimated that the first emperors of the past dynasties appeared and asked him to prosper the Han Dynasty.
Liu Wei has such a talent, so Xun Yu feels that even if he loses, he will not lose like this.
Hearing the former 'ovary' calling himself Cao Gong, Cao Cao had mixed feelings in his heart, and a touch of gloom flashed in his eyes. He knew that Xun Yu was loyal to Han and might never come back.
Cao Cao led the horse, strolled through the cool streets, and talked to Xun Yu about the whole story of this battle.
At the beginning, the coalition army was huge, took advantage of it, and through eight constraints, the army led by Lu Bu was pinned down in Yanzhou and could not move. So much so that Lu Bu had no generals around him later, so he had to push his two sons to the north......
The balance of victory once leaned towards Liu Wei's camp.
You can't stand the Allies' cheats!
Yuan Shu turned against the water and became the emperor, which was the beginning of defeat.
Subsequently, Xiliang, Xiongnu, Xianbei, Youzhou, Yuzhou...... The battle lines collapsed in various places, and the dead died and retreated, and finally the army led by Liu Wei had to go to a decisive battle with Lu Bu head-on.
On the day of the decisive battle, the two sides fought and blood flowed, and countless soldiers fell on the battlefield.
Liu Wei dispatched all the hole cards, and Cao Cao also pressed the tiger and leopard cavalry, but still failed to defeat Lu Bu in one fell swoop, but was dragged by Lu Bu for time, led Taishan thieves as reinforcements, and attacked the rear of the coalition army.
"It's a pity."
Xun Yu sighed.
On the occasion of this battle, I am afraid that the corporal clan of the world will be disappointed in Liu Wei.
Cao Cao said goodbye to Xun Yu and returned to the house.
"Daddy!"
Knowing that Cao Cao had returned, a seven or eight-year-old boy in the house put down the scroll in his hand, ran out as if flying, and plunged into Cao Cao's arms.
Seeing the little son with red lips and white teeth, Cao Cao's heart was suddenly swept away, he picked up the little guy, and his face was full of his father's love: "Chong'er, these days, have you missed your father?" β
Although this youngest son was born to a concubine, this did not affect Cao Cao's love for him.
Cao Chong has been shrewd and intelligent since he was a child, and even Cao Cao sometimes sighs to himself.
The eldest son Cao Ang died in battle for many years, and Cao Cao's favorite is this youngest son. He even thought that if one day in the future, he was really defeated and died, he would also beg Lu Bu to raise Cao Chong for him before he died.
The little guy nodded his head, and his dark eyes were full of aura.
"Have you ever been lazy and tired during this time?" Cao Cao hugged Cao Chong and walked to the house.
"The child reads hard every day and never slacks off."
The little guy blinked and said very seriously.
Cao Cao heard this, obviously a little unconvinced, although his youngest son is smart, but also stubborn and playful, so he asked: "That is the father and test you, 'Yo Yo Lu Ming, eat the apple of the wild.'" I have a guest, drummer and sheng', what's the next sentence? β
The little guy didn't know in his heart, but he was not in a hurry, he saw that the sky was dark, and a few crows flew by, and blurted out very quickly: "The moon and stars are scarce, the black magpie flies south, three turns around the tree, what branches can ......be followed."
Syllable!
Cao Cao directly knocked the little guy's head, and said angrily: "I also said that I read hard every day, and I don't even know this sentence." β
Blowing the sheng drum spring, the basket is the will; People are kind to me, show me to walk.
Cao Cao remembered clearly that this sentence came from the Book of Songs?? Lesser?? Deer Song".
However, Chong'er's sentence is also neat, and after reading it a few times, it even has a little more charm.
In Cao Chong's particularly aggrieved little eyes, Cao Cao laughed heartily, happy in his heart: My child is a genius!
Cao Pi, who followed his father in the army, followed behind, looking at the joy of his father and younger brother in front of him, he was like a stranger, and he couldn't say a word, only envy in his eyes, and a trace of imperceptible jealousy and resentment.
In the evening, the uncles and nephews of the Xun family stand in a high pavilion somewhere in the city, looking at the railing, and you can see the south side of the entire city.
"This battle was defeated, and His Majesty's heart was like ashes. Our army suffered heavy casualties and needed at least five years of rest before it could recover. Xun You, who looked wooden, calculated in his heart and said slowly.
Five years.
Nearly two thousand days and nights.
Xun Yu was stunned in his heart, and in his bright eyes in the past, his gaze couldn't help but dim a little. He turned his body slightly to the west and looked to the west, where it was now in the dark forest, but in the darkness, there seemed to be a palpitating force that was marching in the direction of Dongwuyang.
