As for the Lu brothers, to put it bluntly, they are not important figures, let alone Cao Cao's favorite characters. After all, Cao Cao has always admired loyal ministers like Guan Yu, not repeated villains like the Lu brothers, even if the Lu brothers took refuge in him Cao Cao and helped him Cao Cao, Cao Cao didn't like it or didn't like it, this subjective feeling can't be changed, therefore, such two people, if they die, they will die, it's no big deal, Cao Cao won't care. As long as the result of defeating Liu Bei and taking Xinye does not change, then even if he Cao Ren completes the task, the process or something is not something that Cao Cao cares about.

Therefore, for a while, Cao Ren and Li Dian were stubborn, and the two sides argued endlessly. But although Li Dian can be regarded as the general in Cao Ying, not to mention that the coach this time is Cao Ren, just say that Cao Ren is a relative of the Cao family, but Li Dian is just an outsider.

So, in the end, it was Cao Ren who "persuaded" Li Dian, or Li Dian had to agree with Cao Ren's opinion. decided to continue to attack Liu Bei in Xinye first, and after winning the battle, he would return to Cao Cao and ask Cao Cao to decide how to fight Liu Biao in Jingzhou next!

At this moment, Cao Ren's biggest mistake can't actually be said to be too arrogant, but after the defeat and death of the Lu brothers, they didn't realize that there was such a person as Xu Shu on Liu Bei's side. It's just a confidant, so confident, that's right, but I don't know the other well enough, and I still look at Liu Bei with the eyes of three days ago, then I will naturally make a big mistake.

If Cao Ren can slow down a little at this time, he will not be so anxious, and then attack Xinye after the investigation is clear. The result may be different, at least with Cao Ren's consistent performance as always. In the end, it should not be a big defeat. But at this time, Cao Ren wanted to hide it from Cao Cao. If it is slowed down, even if Cao Ren doesn't say it himself, the news will definitely reach Cao Cao's side, can this kind of thing be hidden! Therefore, Cao Ren couldn't wait and was about to fight. So the final result is naturally self-evident!

Xu Shu had no last resort, and expected that Cao Ren would inevitably attack urgently, so he took a defensive stance at the beginning. And Xu Shu also expected that even if Cao Ren didn't come and take Xinye directly, Cao Ren would definitely continue to fight, and it would be impossible to return to Fancheng in a short time. In other words, at this time, Fancheng is empty, but it is a great opportunity to take the opportunity to take Fancheng!

I have to say that Xu Shu really deserved to be a chivalrous man in the past. Some strategies and ideas, not to say fanciful, but definitely quite bold. In this time when the enemy is strong and I am weak, usually people only think about how to defend against Cao Ren's attack. Xu Shu actually thought about dividing his troops to attack. Such a risky act, even if it is Guo Jia, if he doesn't know history. He didn't dare to do it. As a result, Xu Shu did just that!

Here, Cao Ren came with troops. In the first battle, he attacked with all his might, but was blocked by Liu Bei's side, who was holding on. So the two sides temporarily withdrew their troops and returned to the village. Straighten out. At this time, Li Dian saw that he couldn't take down Liu Bei in one go, so he couldn't help but suggest: "The elite of his army should not be underestimated, it is better to return to Fancheng." ”

Needless to say, Cao Ren was immediately furious, this is just the beginning of the war, you shouted to retreat, it is simply slow down the heart of our army, and the crime should be executed! If Li Dian wasn't a general, maybe he would really be cut down by Cao Ren. Of course, if Li Dian was not a general, it is estimated that he would not dare to directly oppose Cao Ren like this.

As a result, Cao Ren did not give up and attacked again another day. And this time, Cao Ren played a trick and set up an eight-door golden lock array that Guo Jia also put up back then. Heh, isn't it funny, Guo Jia himself can't figure out what the situation of the Eight Golden Lock Array is, Cao Ren wants to learn Guo Jia, can he learn the essence?

Moreover, the most critical point is, who was Guo Jia's opponent back then? Who is Cao Ren's opponent now? At this time, even if it is replaced by Guo Jia, with Guo Jia's fame to deter the enemy, in front of Xu Shu, Guo Jia wants to bluff, it is estimated that it will not have any effect.

Sure enough, although Liu Bei and the others were indeed taken aback when they saw the Eight Gates Golden Lock Array opposite, after all, the name of the Eight Gates Golden Lock Array alone was enough to scare people. But Xu Shu pointed out at a glance, "Although the eight gates are neatly arranged today, they are only in the middle of the host." If you hit someone from the southeast corner of Shangshengmen and go out to the west gate, its array will be chaotic. As a result, the Eight Golden Lock Array that Cao Ren had worked so hard to put out was broken by Xu Shu.

Cao Ren's self-confidence was greatly hit, and this time, Cao Ren finally came to his senses a little, Liu Bei was not as easy to beat as he imagined, and at the same time, Cao Ren finally discovered that Liu Bei had capable people under him, otherwise how could he see through his Eight Gate Golden Lock Array? ! So Cao Ren inquired and got the name of Liu Bei's new military advisor, a single one.

I don't know who it is, I haven't heard of it before, this is a fake name that Xu Shu took when he committed something.

However, even at this time, Cao Ren was still a little unwilling, or rather, he was a little difficult to ride a tiger. Now retreat and go back to Cao Cao? Just kidding, isn't this even more humiliating and a failure than returning to Cao Cao in the first place? Is Cao Ren willing!

So, that night, Cao Ren secretly attacked the camp again, but unfortunately, Xu Shu saw through it and beat him back. At the same time, Fancheng was in an emergency, and Cao Ren was shocked when he got the news, and led his troops back to help overnight. As a result, when crossing the river, he was attacked by Zhang Fei, Cao Ren fought to the death, and under the protection of Li Dian, he successfully crossed the river, but at this time, Cao Jun was dead, wounded, and fled, and had lost most of it. And finally came to Fancheng, but saw a drum on the city, a general led the army out, shouting: "I have taken Fancheng for a long time!" "Naiguan Yun Changya.

Cao Ren was frightened, turned the horse and left, Guan Yu chased and killed behind, Cao Ren lost a lot of men and horses, and fled back to the vicinity of Nanyang, which was finally safe. In this battle, Cao Ren not only did not defeat Liu Bei of Xinye, but also lost the two generals of the Lu brothers, but also lost the front-line stronghold Fancheng, which can be described as an absolute defeat, and was beaten like a dog, gray.

Cao Ren's defeated army did not stop in Nanyang, and rushed back to Xudu directly, weeping and worshipping on the ground, and pleading guilty to Cao Cao. Seriously, although there is a reason for this defeat, Cao Ren definitely bears most of the responsibility. If it was not Cao Ren who commanded the army this time, but other generals with foreign surnames, no matter who it was, although Cao Cao would not directly kill people, he would definitely be demoted, and people would be guilty of meritorious service in front of the battle. As a result, Cao Cao said that victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, and this defeat was not Cao Ren's problem, and all the reasons were counted on the single piece that came out of nowhere.

There is no way, since the destruction of the Yuan clan and the unification of the north, since the cutting of Guo Jia, compared to the more capable generals who attached importance to foreign surnames back then, now Cao Cao has once again focused on the Cao clan. It is necessary to let the Cao clan have absolute military power to ensure that all parties are loyal and not chaotic. In the past, it was necessary to fight external enemies, but now it is necessary to maintain internal stability. Therefore, an important figure like Cao Ren must not be easily disparaged.

Nanyang,

"Heh, Cao Ren was defeated. The door is closed, and during this time, whoever comes to me will say that I am not there. (To be continued......)
