Xiahou Yuan cried loudly, not crying for himself. It's about crying Cao's foundation. As Zhang Fei said, the Cao family and Sun Ce joining forces is just delaying time. One wrong step, one wrong step, he can no longer see the future of the Cao family. This day looks like it's about to fall apart, who would have thought that Liu Bei would suddenly be pinched together again. Liu Bei has already unified the north, and it is inevitable to unify the south in the future.

Xiahou Yuan knew how great the potential of the north was, as long as there was no turmoil, there would be continuous production of grain and soldiers, and war horses. Look at the present, Liu Beibing is divided into two ways, pressing the Cao family and Sun Ce to fight together. knows how strong Liu Bei's strength is. Oh, no, Liu Bei still has a partial division and went on an expedition to the Western Regions.

The more Xiahou Yuan thought about it, the more sad he became, his Xiahou family and the Cao family, years of hard work, all turned into flowing water. Decades of fighting, but the final outcome is hopeless. This made Xiahou Yuan how not to cry.

Zhang Fei and Ma Chao quietly watched Xiahou Yuan vent their emotions. After this battle is over, it is unlikely that Xiahou Yuan will have the opportunity to stand alone and lead thousands of troops. The end of the hero, the twilight of the veteran, they all have some empathy.

Zhang Fei ordered someone to send Xiahou Yuan to Chang'an, where construction was being carried out on a large scale, and it was the rear area. Far away from the front line, Xiahou Yuan wanted to do anything, but there was nothing he could do. Let's get there and be a rich man first. The future depends on your choices and the arrangements of the lord.

With the defeat of Xiahou Yuan's troops, everything went smoothly. When the Wancheng guard saw the banner of Xiahou Yuan in the hands of the menacing Han army, he was stunned and didn't say a word, so he immediately ordered the door to open the door and dedicate the city.

With the submission of Wancheng, one order after another was issued, and all the counties under the jurisdiction of the entire Nanyang County sent people to send the table. Of course, there are also those who are loyal to the Cao family. These men were either killed or flagged away.

Zhang Fei and Tai Shici wrote a battle report and ordered someone to send it to Liu Bei, asking him to quickly send governance personnel over to take over the territory. They have to move on. There is more than one Nanyang in Jingzhou.

Cao Chun led his troops north and arrived in Xiangyang, but found that the banner at the head of the city had changed. He was shocked in his heart, and secretly said that the Han army was so fast. Immediately reacted, the Han army must have attacked Xiangyang first, so as to cut off its own reinforcements, and Nanyang must still be in the hands of Miaocai. There is also salvation.

So Cao Chun ordered the three armies to storm Xiangyang. He thinks that your Han army has come from afar, and how many soldiers and horses can you bring, as long as there are still effective people in the city who are loyal to my Cao clan, it is not difficult to attack Xiangyang. As long as Xiangyang is broken, Nanyang will definitely still be in the hands of my Cao family. At that time, together with Miaocai, these Han troops will be expelled from the territory.

Cao Chun was right, when he came, Xiahou Yuan had not yet been defeated, and Wancheng was still in the hands of Cao Jun. It's a pity that he met Xu Shu. In terms of charging into battle, ten Xu Shu is not enough for one Cao Chun. But to hold Xiangyang City safely and securely, for Xu Shu, it was effortless.

Cao Chun led his troops to attack and fight day and night, but Xiangyang City stood still, allowing you to kill the sky and arrows rain. Xu Shu commanded and dispatched, coped with it easily, repelled the attacks of the Cao army one after another, and let the Cao army leave countless corpses under the city of Xiangyang.

In the end, Cao Chun was red-eyed, and he rolled up his sleeves and took the lead with a knife. This time, the morale of the Cao army was greatly boosted, Cao Chun led the men and horses to the city again, and Xu Shu also tried his best, which was able to repel Cao Chun.

Cao Jun's stubbornness and persistence made Xu Shu also have a headache. Zhang Fei did not leave him many soldiers and horses, most of them were still pawns. Without reorganization, there is no way to bring into play combat effectiveness. After these days of hard fighting, the soldiers have not mutinied, and Xu Shu is already superb. But if you continue to fight, there will be fewer and fewer soldiers and horses around you, what will happen? Xu Shu didn't know either.

Xu Shu can only hope for Wancheng. But now there is no news from Wancheng. So he can only survive here. Xu Shu at the head of the city saw that Cao Jun was about to move again, he couldn't help frowning, and had a plan, so he called a small colonel and said: "You arrange someone to go to the north gate, deceive as a messenger, enter the city and report the victory, say that Xiahou Yuan is defeated, and Wancheng is owned by our army." Go as fast as possible! ”

When the junior colonel heard this, he arched his hand and said, "But if there is no Cao Jun banner, I am afraid that no one will believe it." ”

When Xu Shu heard this, his eyes widened and he said, "Can I teach you this matter?" Go quickly, if there is neglect, military law will be engaged! ”

The little colonel listened and hurried away.

Xiangyang Beicheng, this is the only place where Cao's army did not attack. Surround the three queyi so that the soldiers and horses in the city will not fight to the death. And Cao Chun was also worried that the north gate would be surrounded, and a Han army would suddenly appear in the north, that is, the enemy would be attacked on the back. Who knows whether the rest of the Han army will attack Miaocai or surround the point here to send reinforcements and set up an ambush to lure themselves?

Here at the north gate, a messenger Pegasus will come every day to convey the message and military orders of the north to Xiangyang City. This time, several more rode horses, and before they reached the city gate, they shouted: "Great victory! Great victory! ”

The silk cloth in his hand was raised high, and he came all the way. Several horsemen rode into the city, shouting along the way: "Xiahou Yuan's soldiers are defeated and died, Wancheng has been broken!" ”

What the? The officials who heard the news couldn't help but cover their mouths and exclaim. Wancheng is broken, and Xiahou Yuan, the general, is dead? So they began to inquire about the news.

As for the soldiers and horses in the city, they couldn't help but cheer when they heard the news. Wancheng is broken, and their persistence here has meaning. Moreover, Wancheng is broken, will the reinforcements be far away?

All of a sudden, from the north gate to Xu Shu's residence in the city, there were cheers and cheers. Then the sound spread to other urban areas. In the sky above Xiangyang City, there was thunderous cheers. even alarmed Cao Chun outside the city.

Cao Chun was gathering generals, and suddenly heard the loud cheers of Xiangyang City, and was silent for a long time, so he said: "Quick detective, what happened in Xiangyang City?" ”

In the evening, a man in black sneaked into the camp and reported to Cao Chun: "General, Xiangyang reported to the battle today, Yanwan City has been broken, and General Xiahou has been defeated and died, so the whole city cheers. ”

When Cao Chun heard the movement of Xiangyang City before, he had a vague guess in his heart, but now that the facts are confirmed, he can't believe it. Teng stood up suddenly: "What! It must be fake, how could Miaocai be defeated and die? It must be fake! Revisit! ”

After the scout retreated, Cao Chun sat down as if he had no bones. If it is really as the Han army said, Miaocai's soldiers are defeated and die, what is the point of consuming troops under this Xiangyang City? The Han army won Nanyang, and the next target must be their own Nanjun. If that's the case, it's time for me to go back to guard Gangneung.

News keeps coming. made Cao Chunxin very anxious. When the real good news of the Han army came, Cao Chun decided to retire.

Because this time, the Han army brought Xiahou Yuan's banner, seal ribbon and scarf. knew that Xiahou Yuan was really defeated, and Wancheng was really broken. Xu Shu's waist pole is also stiff. So he ordered people to send these tokens to the city and show them to Cao Jun. The previous fakes could fool the officials and people in the city, but they couldn't deceive experts like Cao Chun.

Cao Chun looked at it, sighed, closed his eyes tightly, and two lines of clear tears flowed down: "Retreat!" ”
