Cao Cao closed his eyes and pondered carefully about the gains and losses if he gave up, and there was no need to say much about what he would get, and if he lost, it was obvious that if he gave up like this, then this time the battle of the Western Expedition would basically be regarded as a failure, and the prestige of the Great Wei in the Western Regions would inevitably be affected, and Kangju, who had finally become a puppet state, would inevitably be lost because of the retreat of the Wei army.

The two people present looked at Cao Cao and waited for Cao Cao's decision.

Suddenly, Cao Cao opened his eyes, and Dian Wei and Ma Chao couldn't help but straighten their waists.

Cao Cao glanced at Ma Chao and then at Dian Wei, and said coldly: "Pass the order and act according to the plan!" ”

Although retreat will inevitably mean the loss of the puppet state of Kangju, but Cao Cao does not want to give up, this time the failure of the Western Expedition does not mean the failure of the Great Wei, with the national strength of the Great Wei and the wealth of the Central Plains, as long as the Great Wei wants, it is easy to organize the second Western Expedition again, and there is no need to take risks because of this!

Ma Chao and Dian Wei couldn't help but feel a little regretful, hugged their fists together, bowed to Cao Cao, and withdrew.

Cao Cao walked out of the palace, looked at the dark night, and suddenly thought of a poem, the black clouds pressed the city and wanted to destroy it.

The sky gradually brightened, and Cao Cao, who had not slept all night, looked at the sky and muttered: "This moment has finally come!" ”

At this moment, Ma Chao and Dian Wei came in.

"Your Majesty, all the ministries are ready, just waiting for Your Majesty's order!" Ma Chao hugged his fists.

"Action!"

Two words popped out of Cao Cao's mouth, Ma Chao promised and immediately retreated, and then the herald ran in. With an excited face, he reported: "Your Majesty, Sima Dudu's biography!" And they succeeded! ”

Cao Cao was stunned. He snatched the herald from the herald's hand and read it quickly. A look of joy popped up on his face.

"Quick, go and order Meng Qi to stop acting!"

Although Dian Wei still didn't understand what was happening, he still didn't hesitate to rush out of the hall.

Cao Cao hurriedly walked to the sand table, casually pulled out the flag symbolizing the 200,000 troops in the south of Wusun and threw it aside, and planted the flag representing the Sixth Army and the Western Regions Alliance Army in the Wusun border town of Luomu more than ten miles north of the Tianshan Fortress, and then planted a flag representing the Qiuzi Army in the position of the Luomu.

Luomu was the most important military fortress at the junction of Wusun and Qiuzi, located in the middle of the Tianshan branch, facing the Tianshan fortress, but at the moment it fell into the hands of the Wei army. Once the fallen wood fell into the hands of the Wei army, then the southern gate of Wusun was completely open.

"Sima Yi deserves to be Sima Yi! Good job! Hahaha! Cao Cao couldn't help laughing.

Ma Chao and Dian Wei hurriedly returned to the hall, and Ma Chao couldn't wait to ask, "Your Majesty, what happened?" ”

Cao Cao couldn't hide his excitement and smiled: "Two days ago, Sima Yi welcomed the 200,000 Wusun army into the Tianshan Fortress with a feint, and then ambushed the troops and killed the Wusun army without leaving a piece of armor. The army then attacked, and annihilated the unsuspecting 30,000 of them! Wusunbu's 230,000 troops on the border of Qiuzi have almost been wiped out, and the king of Wusun is already under the direct threat of our army's front! ”

Ma Chao and Dian Wei became excited when they heard this.

"Your Majesty, we don't have to retreat!" Ma Chao said excitedly.

Cao Cao nodded. said ruthlessly: "Wusun has caused me a lot of trouble!" I won't let him go this time! Summoned Zhongda to immediately attack the city of Wusun Wang, and at the same time ordered the countries of the Western Regions to immediately march to the territory of Wusun! Meng Qi. You have to be ready once the Usun army retreats. Then you will lead the Hun cavalry to harass them! ”

"The last general commands!" Ma Chaohong promised.

In the early hours of the morning, Hassan, as the commander of the Western Route Army, fidgeted in the big tent. He had a gut feeling that something bad was about to happen.

When the sun was fully rising, one of Hassan's generals came in and reported: "General, all the troops are ready, please give the order to attack the city!" ”

Hassan hesitated for a moment, picked up his helmet and walked out of the tent, glanced at the glorious army not far away, and couldn't help but feel a burst of excitement, the previous ominous premonition was gone.

Hassan stepped onto his horse and glanced at the dilapidated and wolf-filled Kangju Royal City in the distance, a trace of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes, and he waved his palm violently, and the sound of leather drums rang out. Immediately afterward, the gates of the barracks burst open, and the army poured out like a flood of floodgates.

Hassan and his generals followed the tide out of the camp, but at this moment, a scout rushed towards Hassan with a panicked face, and when Hassan saw this, the bad premonition that had come out suddenly came out again, and it was even stronger.

The scout galloped to Hassan's horse and presented a short note with both hands: "General, the king's urgent flying pigeon has been transmitted!" ”

Hassan's heart couldn't help jumping, and he hurriedly opened it, and then his brows were deeply locked, and there was a look of shock, and the surrounding generals were silent, and there was a bad premonition in his heart.

Hassan held the short note tightly in his palm, glanced at the generals beside him, and said in a heavy tone: "The king ordered me to return to the royal capital immediately!" ”

The generals couldn't help but whisper, and one of them clenched his fists and asked, "General, what happened?" ”

Hassan did not answer, but ordered one of his generals to say, "Summons the order to collect the troops!" ”

Just when the Wei army and the Kangju army and people on the city wall were preparing to meet the crazy attack of Wusun, they suddenly found that the Wusun army that had come out of the camp was inexplicably shrunk back.

The soldiers on the city wall looked at each other, but Cao Cao and a few others knew what was going on.

Cao Cao said to Ma Chao beside him: "Meng Qi, you stay and be careful!" ”

Cao Cao's words fell, and he walked under the city wall, Dian Wei, Xu Chu and Cao Cao's personal guards and the Imperial Forest Army hurriedly followed, back to the palace of Kangju Palace, Cao Cao, who had not slept all night, finally slept with peace of mind, and this sleep only stopped when he knew that Dian Wei came.

Cao Cao rubbed his temples, which were still a little swollen, and asked, "It's Dian Wei, what happened?" ”

Dian Wei hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty, that King Kangju has been waiting outside for a long time!" ”

Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, and then shouted: "Come on, change my clothes!" ”

Cao Cao, who changed into a black casual clothes, took Dian Wei, Xu Chu and a group of royal forest soldiers to the hall, at this time, King Kangju and Kang Wenrui, who were dressed in Han clothes, were waiting quietly, and when they saw Cao Cao, the two quickly stood up and saluted, and then Kang Wenrui couldn't wait to ask: "Your Majesty, I don't know why the Wusun army suddenly withdrew its troops?"
