"Hey, the general is determined to die!" Hearing that the soldiers said that Cao Zhen refused to withdraw, Guo Huai sighed with grief and indignation.

Although Cao Zhen loves the soldiers on weekdays, he has definitely not reached the point where he is willing to live and die with the soldiers.

As the saying goes, people don't kill the heavens and the earth for themselves, Cao Zhen is a great general of a country, and there is a great glory and wealth to enjoy, if there is a chance to escape, why should he die with the soldiers.

In the final analysis, Cao Zhen himself just didn't want to live.

This time, Liu Chan drove his own expedition and led his troops to attack Guanzhong, Cao Zhen first lost Longshan, losing nearly 50,000 people, and now he lost Chang'an, and also lost tens of thousands of people, adding up to 100,000 people.

Now Cao Rui has asked Sima Yi to serve as the governor of Guanzhong, take his place, and let Cao Zhen return to Luoyang to recuperate, Cao Rui clearly no longer believes in Cao Zhen's ability.

It sounded good to let Cao Zhen go back to Luoyang to recuperate, but it was just to get him down, not let him take charge of the army, and go back to Luoyang to sit on the cold bench.

After successive defeats, when he returns to Luoyang, Cao Zhen will definitely lose his prestige in the court, and the people in the past will definitely become deserted, and even be criticized by others, and he will not be able to raise his head as a man.

This is how it is to be a general, if you win, you will have unlimited scenery, and if you lose, you will have no confidence in speaking, and you will not be able to raise your head to be a man.

Cao Zhen is arrogant, how can he be willing to go back to Luoyang to suffer this bird anger, so he has the will to die, and decided to die in a bloody battle with the Han army, and be a hero for a lifetime, it is better than going back to sit on a cold bench, being criticized, ridiculed, and looked down upon.

The soldier asked Guo Huai, "General, what should I do now?" ”

Guo Huai gritted his teeth and commanded the soldiers: "You organize the river crossing first, and I will call the general myself!" ”

The soldier said: "The front line is almost untenable, and the boats here are almost full, so this is the last time to cross the river, and the general must be fast!" ”

"Just leave me a boat!" Guo Huai said that, and headed for the front line in the west.

After a while, Guo Huai arrived on the battlefield.

On the battlefield, the attack of tens of thousands of Han troops in front of thousands of Wei troops is struggling to support, and a melee has begun in front, the Wei army is completely defeated by the Han army, and it is a completely one-sided situation.

"Kill me!"

"Kill all the Shu army!"

Cao Zhen roared hysterically at the end, and from time to time picked up the bow in his hand and shot at the Han soldiers.

"General, come with me!" Guo Huai found Cao Zhen and left without saying a word.

Cao Zhen was dragged by Guo Huai for several steps, and then he reacted, grabbed Guo Huai, and said angrily: "Guo Huai, you go first, don't worry about me." ”

Guo Huai stopped, but did not let go of Cao Zhen, and persuaded him: "General, the boat is still waiting, this is the last time to cross the river, and it will soon be unsupportable here, if you don't leave now, you really can't go." ”

Cao Zhen fought for a day and a night, he was exhausted, and he couldn't break free from Guo Huai at all, so he could only say perfunctorily: "You let go and I'll go first, I have my own plans!" ”

Guo Huai said angrily: "Your plan is to send you to death? If you don't go now, you can't go, why not? ”

Cao Zhen saw that Guo Huai understood his thoughts, so he simply didn't hide it: "I, Cao Zhen, stand up to the sky, even if I return to Luoyang, I will definitely suffer from cold eyes, today it is better to fight to the death with the Shu army, in order to deal with the nurturing grace of Emperor Taizuwu, as well as the kindness of the first emperor." ”

"General, if you can't bear it, you will make a big plan! Come back with me now, and I won't have a chance to make a comeback and take charge of the army again. ”

"People live for a lifetime, when they endure it, they will endure it, and when they can't bear it, they will not bear it. I Cao Zhen can't bear this matter no matter what, Guo Huai, if you still think I'm a general, let me go! ”

"The Great General......

"Let me go!"

Under Cao Zhen's firm gaze, Guo Huai slowly loosened Cao Zhen's clothes.

Without Guo Huai's entanglement, Cao Zhen immediately ran to the battlefield again.

"Hey!" Guo Huai was so angry that he grabbed a stone from the ground and smashed it on the ground.

But Cao Zhen didn't leave, Guo Huai couldn't follow him to death, vented his anger, and Guo Huai left the battlefield.

Guo Huai is not angry Cao Zhen, but complains about the Han army and the nest of this battle.

Back on the bank of the Yellow River, the fleet had already left, and only a few personal soldiers guarded a few boats waiting for Guo Huai.

"General ......" saw Guo Huai come back, and a group of personal soldiers greeted him.

"Let's go!" Guo Huai sighed, stepped on the ice water by the river, and climbed into the boat.

A few fleets rowed north for only a while, only to see more than a thousand remnants of defeated troops running towards the east.

Due to the retreat, there was no general in the east, no one to stabilize the morale of the army, and the soldiers were defeated and retreated.

After more than 1,000 Wei troops, 40,000 Han troops were like mountains and tsunamis, and people were killed like a tide.

The soldiers on the ship said: "General, they have fled!" ”

Guo Huai gritted his teeth and said, "Leave them alone, let's go!" ”

Although there are still vacant seats on the ship, these positions are still a drop in the bucket compared to more than 1,000 soldiers.

If he went back to pick up people, the soldiers would definitely rush to get on the boat, and Guo Huai himself would not be able to leave.

"Come and pick us up!"

"I'm going home!"

"I don't want to die!"

More than 1,000 Wei troops ran to the river and shouted at Guo Huai's several boats on the river in front of them, but it was a pity that Guo Huai ignored them no matter how they shouted.

"You're at the end of your rope, why don't you give up your arms and surrender?" Lin Xiao and Lin Yuan's father and son led troops to kill and surrounded the Wei army by the river, as long as the Han army continued to advance, the Wei army could be squeezed down the river.

But the Han army did not do this, Lin Xiao urged the horse out, looked at the Wei army, and asked the Wei army to surrender.

"Kill!"

At this moment, there was also a deafening shouting of killing from the west, and thousands of men and horses under Cao Zhen's command finally couldn't resist it, hoping to flee here.

The soldiers and horses of the Han army gathered in one place, and nearly 10,000 Wei troops surrounded the river beach.

"Those who descend will not be killed!"

"Those who descend will not be killed!"

The Han army did not attack at this moment, but kept chanting for the Wei army to surrender. After all, there are more than 10,000 people, and it is a lot of labor to catch them back.

"I'm waiting for my wish to surrender!"

Under the shouts of the Han army, the will of the Wei soldiers continued to disintegrate, and one by one the soldiers put down their weapons.

Of course, there are also people who are very homesick and want to go home and reunite with their families without fear of death. It was actually planned to flow through the icy river, which of course could not have succeeded, and the Han army did not waste arrows.

After a stick of incense, the Wei army almost put down their weapons and squatted on the ground, and on the surface of the river, there were also many shirtless soldiers who were familiar with the water nature and were swimming, but as the heat in their bodies passed, they would eventually drown in the middle of the river.
