"30,000 ironclad elites, the whole army was wiped out, what face do you have for the two of you, go back to see the old man, where are the knife and axe hands under the tent, push the two out and behead them, and use the strictness of military law!"

"No!"

In the Cao army camp - the Chinese army tent, Cao Cao's face was blue and angry, and he kept slapping the handsome case, the wolf pen was folded into three sections, and the ink splashed everywhere......

Cao Xiu and Cao Zhen were disheveled, naked, kneeling on the ground with shame on their faces, and they almost didn't dare to look up when they were scolded, and the swordsmen rushed in, ready to drag the two out and behead them!

This time he waved his army to the south, Cao Cao ignored everyone's criticism, and insisted on reusing the clan generals, just to let them make contributions on the battlefield and increase their official ranks, which can not only expand the power of the Cao family, but also restrain the generals with different surnames, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone!

It's a pity that the mud can't support the wall, Cao Cao is like a considerate father, adjusting the temperature and consistency of the milk, and using the most delicate small spoon, slowly feeding it to his children one bite at a time, but I didn't expect it...... The child spit up!

30,000 ironclad elites, against the old and weak enemy, not only defeated in one battle, but also the whole army was wiped out, Cao's army has been fighting in all directions for more than ten years, how can he have suffered such a big loss and suffered such humiliation?

What's even more depressing is that the left and right flanks are also making slow progress, Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan attacked Zhangling County, which was blocked by Jingzhou's famous general-Wenpin, and they didn't take advantage of it at all; Cao Ren and Cao Hong entered Jiangxia County, but were stopped by Liu Qi's men and horses in Zhuanshui, and lost several water battles!

The army of more than 400,000 people went south, and the momentum was earth-shattering, but not a single battle was won, and not a single city was defeated, but the soldiers were lost, which was like a resounding slap in the face of Cao Cao, how could he not be annoyed and angry?

What's more, the reuse of clan generals made the civil and military with different surnames quite dissatisfied, and now Cao Xiu and Cao Zhen were defeated and fled back, if Cao Cao did not enforce the law impartially, I am afraid that the people in the army will not be convinced, and this battle will not be able to be fought again!

The knife and axe men rushed up, tied up the two generals, pushed them outside the tent of the Chinese army, poured a bowl of send-off wine each, and prepared to cut the knife...... At this time, someone came out to intercede!

"Cutting the generals in battle, it is not good for the army, and I hope that the prime minister's subordinates will show mercy and let the two generals make meritorious contributions!"

"Victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, the two generals have done their best, and they have been wounded in many places, if they are beheaded because of this, and if they lose the battle in the future, who will dare to return to the camp?"

……………………………

Cheng Yu, Liu Ye, Man Chong, Mao Jue...... came out one after another to request, first, they were officials in the same dynasty, and they couldn't see death without help; The second is that they know in their hearts that Cao Cao doesn't really want to kill the two!

In recent years, Cao Cao has vigorously supported the clan generals to restrain Xiao Yi's rise and maintain the balance within the group.

Therefore, no matter whether everyone intercedes or not, Cao Xiu and Cao Zhen will be punished at most, and they will not really lose their heads.

"Hmm...... For everyone's sake, let's leave the heads of the two generals for the time being, but the death penalty can be avoided, and the living crime cannot be escaped, and each will be beaten with fifty military sticks as a punishment for the defeated army! ”

"Remove the two of them from their official positions again, stay in the army to serve in vain, and dare to violate military law again, and the two crimes will be punished concurrently, and they will be beheaded!"

"No!"

As everyone speculated, Cao Cao didn't want to kill the two of them, and since the civil and military ministers interceded, he also got off the donkey down the slope, but in order to show justice, punishment was inevitable!

"Smack! Syllable! …… Oops! …… Oops! ”

The knife and axe hand withdrew, replaced by an executioner, a five-colored stick with a thick arm, and slammed Cao Xiu and Cao Zhen's backs, only the flesh and blood of the beating were blurred, the screams were endless, and the law enforcement officer counted the number, and he couldn't spare it!

Fortunately, the executioners knew that one was the prime minister's adopted son and the other was the prime minister's nephew, and their subordinates had left some strength, and they looked like flesh and blood, but in fact, they didn't hurt their internal muscles and bones, and they would be fine if they put medicine on and rest for a few days!

"Thank you Prime Minister for not killing, thank you for your intercession, we will definitely make meritorious service and wash away the humiliation of today's defeated army!"

"The defeat of Wancheng this time is not because we are incompetent, but the enemy is too cunning, Xu Shu first sent an army to attack the camp at night, and then took advantage of our unpreparedness to .................."

After the execution was completed, with the support of the soldiers under the tent, Cao Xiu and Cao Zhen returned to the big tent, knelt on the ground and thanked them, and then told in detail about the defeat of the army.

"Shhh Hiss! …… I see, I didn't think that the enemy general would be so cunning, and it is reasonable that the army will be defeated! ”

Everyone also calmed down and listened to the two of them, first confused, then surprised, and finally silent, the anger on Cao Cao's face dissipated a lot, but it was replaced by a thick cloud of sadness!

Xu Shu's strategy of serial sneak attacks is indeed exquisite, not to mention Cao Xiu and Cao Zhen, even if they are veterans who have been on the battlefield for a long time, they dare not say that they can see it, if they change to someone else's commander, I am afraid they will not escape failure!

What's even more terrifying is that Xu Shu is so good at strategy, within Liu Bei's small group, he is only the number two strategist, and Zhuge Kongming, who is above him, should be such a genius and how difficult to deal with?

After the army entered Jingzhou, I heard the local scholars say: 'Wolong and phoenix chicks, the two of them have one, but the world can be safe', Zhuge Kongming is 'Mr. Wolong', and the phoenix chicks are Xiangyang-Pang Tong, although this is an exaggeration, but it also proves to a certain extent that Kong Ming has the talent of Wang Zuozhi!

There are also Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Zhao Yun are all enemies of 10,000 people, Liu Beiwen has strategists, and Wu has tiger generals, just like a live carp, which may turn into a golden dragon at any time, who can control it at that time?

The rise of a tyrant in troubled times is very unfavorable to the battle of the Cao Ying Group's southern expedition and the great cause of reunification!

"Liu Bei is fake benevolence and righteousness, good at buying people's hearts, now with Kong Ming and Xu Shu as strategists, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Zhao Yun as minions, his strength is constantly expanding, and he must be leveled as soon as possible, so as not to leave future troubles, what are your good plans?"

Cao Cao also had a sad face, Liu Bei was just a county and tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, if even he couldn't clean it up, how could he subdue the more powerful Liu Biao?

Once the war drags on, countless grains, grass, and ordnance will be consumed, not to mention increasing the pressure on the rear, it will also affect the morale of the whole army, and then produce war-weariness.

There are also the princes of Hanzhong, Jiangdong and Yizhou, who have been in a wait-and-see state, if they see it, the Cao army can't even take a Wancheng, I'm afraid that the fear will be greatly reduced, and then send troops to help Jingzhou, when several soldiers and horses come out, the Cao army will also be in a hurry!

"Liu Bei is good at employing people, Xu Shu is proficient in strategy, and Kong Ming is unfathomable...... If our army wants to win a quick battle, we must ask Da Sima to make a move! ”

"Da Sima is both civil and military, he will definitely be able to conquer Wancheng, capture Liu Bei, Xu Shu, Kong Ming and others, and ask the Prime Minister to give an order!"

………………………………

The civil and military ministers have admonished, hoping that Cao Cao will put aside his prejudices and let Xiao Yi command and be responsible for attacking Wancheng, in addition to Da Sima can fight well, he is also Liu Bei's nemesis, and the big ear Ah Fu is extremely miserable!

There are folk rumors that Liu Bei's face is like a crown of jade, and his ears are strangely big, but the jade rabbit in the Moon Palace has descended to earth, and Xiao Yi is the reincarnation of the greedy wolf Xingjun, and the wolf is born with a rabbit, so he defeated Liu Bei several times, and the folk children also have songs:

Uncle Liu Huang, it is difficult to start a business, and he keeps running away day and night.

Lost Xuzhou, defeated Hebei, the two ladies couldn't take care of it,

To ask why,

It's not that there is little strategy in the chest, just because the fate is afraid of greedy wolves!

"Well...... Xiao Lang is in charge of the rear army, and the governor is responsible for transporting grain and grass, this matter is related to the lifeblood of the whole army, I am afraid that he will not be able to leave without permission! ”

"Besides, Liu Bei is a hypocrisy, he uses a knife to kill chickens, as long as he sends a few generals to go, he will be able to defeat the enemy and capture Wancheng!"

Cao Cao groaned for a while, vetoed everyone's suggestion, Liu Bei and Xiao Yi are compared, the former is just a disease of scabies, the latter is a henchman, until the last resort, Xiao Yi can not be allowed to make military merits, otherwise he will not be able to control it!

Man Zhong and Mao Jue still wanted to admonish again, but they were stopped by Cheng Yu's gaze, the prime minister has made up his mind, and he will never change it easily, as for Xiao Yi, does he want to lead the troops again, unless the Cao army suffers a fiasco!

Cao Cao actually understands that first of all, the defeat and the military prestige have been greatly defeated, if you want to save the unfavorable situation, you can't rely on the generals surnamed Cao alone, you must send generals with different surnames to fight, and stabilize people's hearts by the way!

"Zhang He and Gao Ran listened to the order, commanded 50,000 horses, went to attack Wancheng, and must capture Liu Bei, Kong Ming, and Xu Shu alive, and come back to dedicate themselves to the old man!"

"Cao Xiu and Cao Zhen go together, listen to the two generals, learn more about the art of using soldiers, and repay the humiliation of the soldiers!"

"No! --Promise! ”

Cao Cao began to divide his troops and send generals, in addition to letting Zhang He and Gao Ran send troops to attack Wancheng, and let Xu Huang and Yu Ban each lead 30,000 horses to support the armies on the left and right flanks, so as to break through the Jingzhou people as soon as possible!

After Zhang He and Gao Ran received the order, they immediately lit up 50,000 elite soldiers, sounded drums and trumpets in unison, waved flags and shouted, and went to Wancheng...... And what is their opponent Liu Bei doing at this time?
