Reborn in the Three Kingdoms, I stole Liu Bei's uncle

Outside the city of Chang'an, Cao Cao sat in his tent, his sharp eyes like an eagle staring coldly at the panicked soldiers.

He frowned slightly, a trace of anger flashed in his eyes, and he shouted sternly: "Why are you so panicked?"

When the soldiers heard Cao Cao's roar, they were shocked and stopped immediately.

The soldier quickly straightened his armor, then stepped forward quickly, clasped his fists and saluted, saying, "My lord, please forgive me. It was because of the emergency that I lost my temper. Please punish me."

Cao Cao snorted coldly and said, "Tell me what happened first. If you can't give me a satisfactory explanation, I will not let you off easily!"

The soldier took a deep breath, calmed down, and then said, "My lord, I just received accurate news that Xiangyang City has been breached and Liu Biao has unfortunately been captured. Now the entire Jingzhou has fallen into the hands of Emperor Liu."

"What?" Cao Cao's face changed drastically upon hearing this, his face full of disbelief, "How is this possible? Jingzhou has more than 100,000 armored soldiers, how could they be conquered by Uncle Liu in such a short time?

Cai Mao is a veteran who has fought many battles, so how could he be so vulnerable?

Back then, he promised me solemnly that he would fight to the death against Uncle Liu's attack and buy enough time for me to capture Chang'an. But now... Humph!"

At this point, Cao Cao could not help but angrily slam the table beside him, shaking the teacup on the table so much that it almost fell off.

"This is absolutely true. Cai Mao's bloody head is now hanging high on the wall of Xiangyang City!"

The moment these horrifying words reached Cao Cao's ears, his heart couldn't help but tremble violently.

Ever since he first heard the news, Cao Cao had already believed it about 70% in his heart.

After all, he had sent a large number of scouts to Jingzhou to gather intelligence. If they failed to obtain accurate information, those scouts would never dare to rashly return to report on such an important matter.

However, even though he had already made up his mind, Cao Cao couldn't help but ask again.

In fact, he himself understood that this kind of questioning was not out of doubt about the authenticity of the news, but more because he found it difficult to accept the cruel fact before him psychologically.

After the soldier gave another decisive affirmative answer, Cao Cao felt as if a thunderclap had exploded in his mind, and everything went blank in an instant.

He opened his eyes wide, his face full of disbelief, and his heart was filled with endless shock and horror.

An elite army of hundreds of thousands of well-trained and well-equipped soldiers was defeated by Emperor Liu in one fell swoop?

Even if these hundreds of thousands of people were replaced with hundreds of thousands of pigs that had no power to resist and were stationed in Jingzhou, they would probably not be defeated so quickly!

Thinking of this, Cao Cao suddenly felt dizzy, as if the whole world was collapsing at this moment.

He staggered and reached out to hold on to the table beside him, trying to steady himself, but his body began to tremble uncontrollably.

The severe headache came like a tide, making him so miserable that he could hardly breathe.

"Cai Mao misled me! Liu Biao misled me!"

With a roar of grief and anger, Cao Cao finally couldn't hold on any longer, his eyes went dark, and he fainted on the ground. For a moment, the camp was in chaos...

Seeing this, everyone rushed forward at the same time. Shouts rose and fell from the crowd.

"Lord..."

"Quick! Go and call the military doctor!"

Accompanied by bursts of noise, a military doctor hurried to the scene.

The military doctor looked calm and composed, and his movements were extremely skillful. He quickly took out a number of thin silver needles from the medical bag he carried with him.

Then, he accurately inserted the silver needle into the acupuncture points on Cao Cao's body, while at the same time gently comforting the anxious people around him.

"Don't worry, my lord, this is just a recurrence of an old illness. It's not an emergency or serious illness. There's no need to worry too much."

Shortly after the military doctor smoothly performed a set of acupuncture treatments, Cao Cao, who had been unconscious, slowly opened his eyes.

He glanced at the people around him with a slightly dazed look, and then he tried to support his body, sat up straighter, and said slowly: "Uncle Liu has successfully conquered Jingzhou this time. If he does not send troops to help Chang'an, then he will definitely lead his troops to Yizhou next.

Therefore, for us, this is an opportunity that cannot be missed and will not come back again.

If we can win this battle and capture Chang'an City in one fell swoop, we can use this place as a solid base and build an unbreakable defense line;

If we still cannot capture the city this time, then we will have only one way out - evacuate this place as soon as possible and retreat to Yizhou."

Xi Zhicai nodded slightly to show his agreement.

Taking advantage of the war to seize Chang'an was his plan.

The land of Chang'an is fertile and rich in products.

Surrounded by steep passes and narrow passes, it is easy to defend but difficult to attack. It is indeed a perfect place to achieve imperial hegemony.

Looking back to the past, the Qin Dynasty relied on this vast and fertile land to withstand round after round of fierce attacks from the coalition forces of the six nations.

At this time, Cao Cao's steady and powerful voice resounded in the tent again: "All soldiers, listen to my order! All troops, move forward and start the siege immediately!

If anyone on the battlefield takes one step back, he will be killed without mercy!"

The generals clasped their fists in response to the order, then turned and left, each to gather their own soldiers.

Before long, well-trained armies began to gather rapidly.

The soldiers marched in neat and powerful steps, gathering into a powerful force.

From a distance, this team looked like a surging torrent, majestic and unstoppable.

As the war drums sounded, this torrent began to attack the city of Chang'an.

On the battlefield, the shouts of killing were deafening.

Hearing the soldiers' shouts of killing, Cao Cao was agitated.

Cao Cao's face was as pale as paper. Although his body was still limp and weak and he clearly showed a sense of weakness, his determined eyes flashed with an unyielding light.

He bit his lips tightly, using all his strength to try to support his body which seemed to weigh a thousand pounds.

However, just as he was about to make a move, Xi Zhicai, who had been closely watching his every move, reacted instantly. He quickly stepped forward, stretched out his hands, and steadily supported Cao Cao's shaky body, his face full of concern and worry.

He whispered, "My lord, please don't force yourself! You just woke up from your coma not long ago, and your body is still very weak. You must not leave the camp rashly like this.

At this moment, the most important thing you should do is to stay in this tent and rest peacefully, and don't make any rash moves!"
