Chapter 435
At this time Cheng Yu stepped forward to persuade: "My lord, although this is Zhang Xiu's trick, we can't go back. After all, with the current situation of Zhang Xiu's army camp, as long as he can't hold on, we have nothing to do, and leave us." It has been more than a day since we arrived outside Zhangxiu's camp. Even if Liu He was really 30 miles away before, with his marching speed, it is estimated that he will arrive soon. We will not capture Zhangxiu's barracks by then. Instead, being chased and killed by Liu He's army, I'm afraid the gains outweigh the losses, and our army will face even greater dangers. Therefore, listen to the advice of the official, let's go back. No matter what, we also have more than [-] guards in Xudu. Even if Liu He arrived with a [-]-strong army, he would definitely not be able to break through the city in a short period of time, not to mention that we still have a trump card in our hands. If we play this trump card at the critical moment, what can Liu He do? Obediently withdraw troops?"

"Now it seems that this is all we can do." Cao Cao sighed helplessly, waved his hand feebly, and ordered the army to retreat.

This time he was attacked by Zhang Xiu, and Cao Cao lost 8000 soldiers from the rear army. In addition to the 3000 people lost in the previous ambush Zhang Xiu, Cao Cao lost more than [-] people in this battle, but the result was only [-] soldiers brought to Zhang Xiu. The loss of the rest of the people, this transaction is really a big loss.

Cao Cao, who was defeated in the First World War today, had a gloomy face and didn't say a word. The soldiers who served on the left and right were also silent. If you get angry, you will bring disaster to yourself.

However, Zhang Xiu was ecstatic at this time. His army made a fortune in this battle. In the process of the second sneak attack, these soldiers were like tigers descending the mountain, and launched an attack on Cao Jun who had no fighting spirit. Crazy massacres, as a result of this battle, roughly 8000 people were injured in this battle. In addition to the number of people who were killed and wounded by Cao Cao's siege and desperate resistance, more than 6000 people were injured before and after. No need to pay, the guilt of the previous defeat was also offset, and a huge credit was also obtained.

It is precisely because of this that Zhang Xiu admired Jia Xu's uncanny calculations even more. He was so impressed that he was so impressed that after he returned, he first thanked Jia Xu, because without Jia Xu, he would have not only failed in this battle, but also On the contrary, according to Liu He's rules, he could be demoted three levels just by losing two thousand elite soldiers.

"General, you don't need to be too polite. You and I have known each other for such a long time. It is rare that the general has always taken good care of Xu. Naturally, Xu can't just stand by and watch the general fall into trouble."

Although Jia Xu said this in his mouth, he sighed slightly in his heart: "After this battle, I will be by the lord's side, so this time I will not only help the lord, but also help you. Let's make up for our years of cooperation."

Two days later, Liu He led the army to Kunyang, and Zhang Xiu and Jia Xu led the army to meet him, especially Zhang Xiu. He heard that there was another second junior brother under his sect. Now that the three brothers are reunited, they feel very happy I am happy to learn marksmanship together with Zhao Yun and Zhang Ren, and pay homage to my benefactor, and my life is extremely comfortable.

Of course, just after Liu He arrived, Zhang Xiu told Liu He the whole story about how to turn defeat into victory, and Liu He did not blame Zhang Xiu, and even rewarded Zhang Xiu with 6000 yuan. Ten thousand coins, ten thousand pieces of silk, and one hundred households in Shiyi.

At the same time, Liu He worshiped Jia Xu as a former military adviser in the General's Mansion, joined the army, and concurrently served as Jingzhao Yin, and was granted the title of Guzanghou (township lord), and won the supreme honor for a while.

Afterwards, Liu He convened a civil and military discussion, mainly to discuss the matter of marching into Xudu. Because of the same hatred against the enemy, and because of Zhang Xiu's previous battle, no one had any objection to the marching. March into Xudu, launch a siege to Xudu, and then kill Cao Cao and get rid of the national thieves.

However, Jia Xu, Guo Jia, Xun You and others were silent.

Liu He knew what they meant, and said with a smile: "We came here to seek thieves, not for Emperor Wei Ling. Therefore, we can not fight the current capital city of Xu, and it is best to besiege it for a long time. Let the thieves not get food supplies, so the thieves will beg for surrender sooner or later."

But Pan Feng who was on the side said loudly: "According to me, we don't need to be polite at all. We directly attacked Xudu City and killed Cao Cao. If the emperor is sensible, that's fine. If not, we can just drive him down." , took his throne.”

"Shut up!" Liu He yelled sharply when he heard this: "At this moment, how dare you say such disloyal and unjust words? Don't back down! If you dare to speak nonsense again, I will take your round Yoyo's head is grabbed and kicked as a ball!"

Seeing that Liu He was really angry, Pan Feng didn't dare to say any more, and retreated obediently.

Guo Jia and the others secretly laughed at the side. Although they all agreed with Pan Feng's words, anyone with a little brain knew that these words should not be said clearly, although Liu He's strength can be driven away by the prestige of this battle. The emperor, and then proclaim himself emperor, but after all, the world has not yet been unified, and the emperor still has a certain prestige among the people. If he proclaims himself emperor at this time, he will immediately find excuses for many people, and Liu Yu, the father of Liu He, did it before. Many sacrifices have also been in vain.

After a short period of embarrassment, all the people wisely chose not to continue Pan Feng's previous topic, and all agreed with Liu He's proposal, and led the army to besiege Xudu heavily, and Cao Cao must be trapped to death.

Then Liu He ordered the whole army to go to Xudu and besiege Xudu.

After that, the army led by Liu He marched towards Xudu. The army was like a broken bamboo along the way, and soon arrived in Yingchuan County.

At the beginning, Liu He was stationed in Yingchuan for several months. The people were very impressed with the benevolent government implemented by Liu He here. However, frequent conscription and heavy taxes and corvee made the people miserable, so the people looked forward to Liu He's return to Yingchuan even more.

Now that I heard that Liu He was really here, the people all flocked to welcome Liu He and his army.

"After waiting for so long, finally Liu Shijun is here."

"What is Liu Shijun? Now he is a great general, with one person under ten thousand and one million troops in his hands. Just stomping his feet can shake the world."

"You're right. It's only been a few years. Mr. Liu, no, the general's strength has grown to where he is today. Looking at the world and talking about ancient and modern times, how many people can have such great achievements?"

"The general is a man of benevolence and righteousness, respect for the virtuous and the corporal, and a noble family background. Such a character is naturally expected by everyone. How can he be like Cao Cao? He has lived on the Han's salary for generations, but in the end he still wants to be a traitor of the Han. He even dared to kill the noble concubine. It is the so-called evil created by heaven." , can still be forgiven, self-inflicted, can't live..."
