"The last generals lost their troops and fled back in embarrassment, losing the face of the prime minister, and they are willing to apologize with death!"

"The last generals are very careful, but Zhuge Villager is too cunning, and he can't guard against many tricks, so he has fallen for the plot after all!"

…………………………

Cao Ying-Zhongjun tent, Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan knelt on the ground, covered in blood and torn armor, crying about the defeat, Liu Ye was lying on the stretcher next to him, he was hit by two arrows in the thigh, and he was already in a coma in pain, and several Langzhong were being treated!

The Xiahou brothers commanded 80,000 troops and went to attack Liu Bei's army to clear the flank threat of the army, and they were worried that the two were not the opponents of Kong Ming and Xu Shu, so they specially sent the strategist Liu Ye to accompany them!

The strength is twice that of the enemy, the supply of ordnance, grain and grass is sufficient, and he does not seek a quick victory, as long as he contains Liu Beijun, he thought it would be foolproof, but he did not expect that the loss of the army would return, and the reason for this is two words - greed!

As soon as the men and horses arrived at Xiling City, the Xiahou brothers remembered their advice, honestly built barriers, hoarded grain and grass, and set up a posture of protracted war, Liu Beijun did not go out of the city to challenge, and the two sides confronted each other for more than a month, and they were unexpectedly peaceful.

But day by day, the Xiahou brothers became impatient, because since the southern expedition of the army, the clan generals have been defeated repeatedly, almost disgraced, when the news of Cao Ren's fall came, the Xiahou brothers were sad, but also determined to fight a big victory and revive the majesty of the clan generals!

There happened to be an opportunity, the enemy general Wei Yan sent a secret letter, willing to open the gate of Xiling City, and capture Liu Bei in and out, for Wei Yan's dedication to the city, the Xiahou brothers were suspicious, and finally decided to take a risk, because they had also heard that this Wei general had a backbone in the back of his head!

The strategist Liu Ye couldn't dissuade him, so he had to let Xiahou Xuan and Xiahou Yuan's soldiers divide the front and back, and carefully go to the sneak attack, if it was a plan, it could also be returned, but I didn't expect Wei Yan to really sacrifice the door, Cao Jun took Xiling City in one fell swoop, and Liu Bei and others fled in a hurry.

The battle was a complete victory, the Xiahou brothers were elated, and that night, when they were celebrating their achievements, Liu Beijun killed a horse gun, and Wei Yan opened the city gate for the second time, and the inside and outside should be combined......

As a result, Cao's army was defeated, 20,000 were killed, 40,000 were captured, and the rest fled in all directions.

"Alas! --The old man regretted not listening to Shi Yuan's words, so that today's defeat caused him to lose his troops and frustrate his spirit, and made the big-eared thief arrogant again! ”

"You and the two did not obey the military orders, and sent troops to fight without authorization, so that they returned with a miserable defeat, and not killing was not enough to prove military law, so they were pushed out and beheaded, and their heads were hung on the gate to show the public!"

……………………

After listening to the process of defeat, Cao Cao gritted his teeth, the green tendons on his head jumped up, and scolded the Xiahou brothers, and he wanted to kill the two to prove military law, but two words echoed in his heart - regret!

At the time of the military discussion, Xiao Yi repeatedly said that although Liu Bei had been defeated repeatedly and was still assisted by Wenchen military generals, his strength should not be underestimated, and he suggested that he personally attack Xiling City to relieve the flank danger of the army.

However, Cao Cao's selfishness was too heavy, and he was worried that Xiao Yi would make military achievements again and would not be able to control it, so he let the Xiahou brothers go on the expedition, but he didn't expect to be defeated, losing 80,000 elites, and making Liu Bei's group resurrect.

The problem is that Cao Cao regretted it in his heart, but he couldn't show it, let alone admit his mistake to Xiao Yi, so as not to shake his prestige, so he had to change his concept, saying that he didn't listen to Pang Tong and easily sent troops to attack Liu Beijun, which led to defeat.

In this way, it invisibly elevated Pang Tong, gave him a higher prestige, and could better contain Xiao Yi, as for the Xiahou brothers, they were the two pillars of the Cao family, how could they really be killed?

"Victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, and now that the combined forces of Sun and Liu have not been destroyed, it is not appropriate to kill the generals in the army, and please ask the prime minister to be extrajudicial and merciful!"

"The two generals have been on the battlefield for a long time, and they have no merit and hard work, so please ask the prime minister to raise his noble hand and let them make meritorious contributions?"

"Since you have interceded, leave the heads of the two for the time being, but the capital crime can be avoided, and the living crime is unforgivable............"

The ministers understood the prime minister's intentions, and they came out to intercede, and Cao Cao also got off the donkey down the slope and pardoned the Xiahou brothers, but he was only fined for one year and blamed fifty military sticks, and still let the two lead the soldiers and horses.

Liu Ye was also sent back to Jiangling by boat, and he was injured by an arrow, this strategist has good skills, and he is also a resourceful person, but compared with Kong Ming and Xu Shu, he is more than a step behind after all!

With the victory of the war and the imminent success of the great cause of reunification, Cao Cao's employment standards have also undergone tremendous changes.

From beginning to end, Xiao Yi didn't say a word, sat next to him expressionlessly, but there was a sneer in his heart, the more selfish Cao Cao was, the more he favored the clan, and the more he lost people's hearts.

Since the southern expedition of the army, in the face of all kinds of injustices, the generals with different surnames are full of complaints, not to mention that they are detached from morality, but Xiao Yi's prestige in the army has risen in a straight line, and the last night attack is proof: When the military order is issued, don't dare to disobey!

If this continues, the Cao family will decline, the Xiao family will prosper, and the forces of the two sides will gradually reverse, so you don't have to be suppressed, but the first priority at the moment is to defeat the Sun and Liu coalition forces and complete the great cause of unifying the world!

"Report! --Jiangdong's reinforcements arrived, and from the downstream upstream, there were hundreds of large and small warships, and the flagship was planted with the word 'Sun' Daxu flag! ”

"Since the fall of the little overlord, there is no grandson in Jiangdong, could it be that the blue-eyed child is here, but there is a bit of a brother's style?"

A wave of unsettled, wave after wave, the small colonel outside the tent suddenly came to report, a large number of reinforcements from Jiangdong came, Cao Cao, Xiao Yi and others did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly climbed the high slope to watch!

"Knock knock! --Whining! ”

I saw a huge fleet of ships swimming against the current on the mighty river - the formation was neat and majestic, and it was full of samurai wearing heavy armor and holding jingo, and the drums and trumpets were even more earth-shattering!

The strange thing is that the fleet did not enter the Sanjiang estuary, but continued to drive westward, and came straight to Caoying Dazhai, and stopped not far away, large and small ships lined up on both sides, and a Yuhuang boat appeared!

Yuhuang Dazhou - 15 zhang long, 5 zhang wide, divided into three layers, the whole body is snow-white, can carry thousands of people, a red flag on the mast, in the middle of a big bucket 'Sun' word - dragon flying phoenix dance, strong and powerful!

Looking further on the deck, there is a person sitting under the Qingluo umbrella, wearing a coiled dragon helmet, wearing red gold armor, holding a Longyuan sword, dozens of civil and military servants on the left and right, surrounded by hundreds of warriors before and after, and there are more musicians and drums and sheng, and the momentum is like a king going out on patrol!

"Where to look at China? Full of scenery and eyes, how many things have risen and fallen through the ages? Leisurely, the Yangtze River is not endless; ”

"Young and ten-thousand-year-old, sitting down in the southeast war has not ended, who is the opponent of the heroes in the world? Cao Liu, give birth to a son like Sun Zhongmou! ”

Although he couldn't see the face of the person clearly, but everyone in Cao Ying felt it, it must be the overlord of Jiangdong - Sun Quan is undoubted, in the face of the famous blue eyes, Xiao Yi couldn't help it, and did another 'Wen Copying Gong!' ’

For Da Sima's literary talent, everyone was convinced, but they didn't expect that his evaluation of Sun Quan would dare to be so high, that he could be compared with the traitorous male and the hero, and the ghost-faced Xiao Lang's gaze is recognized by the world as accurate, and he almost never misses people!

Then again, a twenty-four-year-old young man can sit in the six counties of Jiangdong, control the civil and military ministers, and dare to personally lead the army to compete with the traitors of the world, and show off his military power on the river, which is indeed admirable!

Usually a young man in his twenties, he can be filial piety, be a county order, and be too guarded is a big deal, although Sun Quan relies on his father and brother Yu Yin, he is also very capable, otherwise he will not be able to sit firmly in the six counties of Jiangdong!

Cao Cao sat on the high post, looking at the fleet on the river, and his heart was also undulating, because Xiao Yi's words made him extremely recognized: "Giving birth to a son should be like Sun Zhongmou!" ”

Several of his sons, Cao Pi, Cao Zhang, Cao Zhi, Cao Xiong, Wencai and martial arts, each with their own strengths, can be regarded as the best among people, but compared with Sun Quan on the other side, it is like a group of wolf cubs meeting tigers, which is not a level at all!

Only Cao Chong is talented, if he cultivates it well, he may be on par with Sun Quan, or even slightly better, but unfortunately his body is too weak and may not be able to grow up!

"The blue-eyed child is so rampant, it can make the navy rush to kill him, even if he can't capture this person alive, he can still frustrate his majesty!"

"Haha! -The old man is over fifty years old, how can he fight with a yellow-mouthed child and fall into his own worth! ”

Cao Cao laughed and refused the proposal of the ministers to send troops, and asked people to wave the apricot yellow banner to show respect for the overlord of Jiangdong, and at the same time secretly made up his mind that he must set foot in Jiangdong and capture Sun Quan alive!

Because none of the sons of the Cao family is Sun Quan's opponent, if he can't win the six counties of Jiangdong and unify the banner of the world in his lifetime, I'm afraid it will fall into the hands of others.

"Knock knock! --Whining! ”

"Ask Prime Minister Cao Cheng how he is doing! - Ask Prime Minister Cao Cheng how he is doing! ”

At the same time, on the Yuhuang boat, the drums and trumpets sounded in unison, the shouts were loud, and the red flags swayed from side to side, which was regarded as a return gift to Cao Cao, and there was always a tacit understanding between heroes and heroes!

After wandering for a while, Sun Quan ordered to return, and the fleet went to the camp at the mouth of the three rivers.
