Cao Cao and Gongsun Zan quickly let their soldiers finish lunch.
It is not an exaggeration to describe their eating appearance.
However.
As soon as the soldiers put down their rice bowls, they saw another round of heralds running over and reporting:
“Report!”
“Huaxiong Na is less than ten miles away from here!”
“Bang!”
As soon as these words came out, Cao Cao glanced at Xia Zhicai with a slight complaint.
However, he also knew that this was not a joke.
It was really too treacherous for Gu Yi and Hua Xiong on the other side!
Seeing this, Cheng Yu on the side quickly spoke:
“Lord don’t worry, Hua Xiong is still ten miles away from here.”
“Soldiers can raise their weapons at any time to fight them!”
Hearing this, Cao Cao nodded slightly.
Then, he and Gongsun Zan looked at each other.
The two quickly issued an order, ordering the soldiers under their command to take their positions and prepare for war with Hua Xiong.
However.
Just when Hua Xiong was less than five miles away from the camp of Cao Cao’s army and Gongsun Zhan’s army, he suddenly ordered his soldiers to stand by.
At this moment, the distance between the two sides is already very close.
Hua Xiong and Cao Cao Gongsun Zan could even see each other’s positions in the formation.
Cao Cao and Gongsun Zhan, who were almost bombed, almost couldn’t resist the urge in their hearts to kill Hua Xiong at this moment!
“What kind of moth is this Huaxiong dog thief doing?”
Cao Cao and Gongsun Zan were full of doubts in their hearts. “073”
“However, if he delayed in attacking, could it be that there were other troops that had not arrived?”
Xia Zhicai and Cheng Yu analyzed.
Hearing this, Cao Cao’s brows furrowed.
Next moment.
Just listen to a hurried sound of horses’ hooves from behind!
“Meng De, something is wrong!”
The person who spoke, covered in blood, was Xia Hou Wei, who was responsible for staying at the back of the camp.
Although the blood on his body is not necessarily his own, it is enough to see how tragic the battle situation was just now.
“Yuanrang, what’s going on?”
“Didn’t I put you in charge of guarding the grain and grass?”
“Why did you suddenly come here?”
Cao Cao had the intention of reprimanding Xiahou Wei on his lips, but his body was very honest.
I saw him quickly come to Xiahou Wei’s side.
Reached out and touched Xia Hou Wei’s body.
It was found that the blood covered by Xia Hou Wei’s body did not come from Xia Hou Wei’s body, but from the blood of other people.
Cao Cao slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
Among the generals of Cao Ying, Cao Cao favored Xiahou Wei far more than anyone else.
This is also deeply reflected in history.
No matter how many defeats Xiahou Wei fought, Cao Cao never reprimanded him, but constantly promoted him and raised his salary.
After Cao Cao became the king of Wei, he rode in the same carriage with Xiahou Wei and went in and out.
Besides.
After Cao Cao’s death, Xiahou cried until he fainted, and soon after followed him.
Thus.
The friendship between the two is far beyond ordinary people.
At this moment, Xia Hou said anxiously:
“Meng De, there is an elite infantry of Dong Zhuo’s army, I don’t know where it suddenly came out, and it is storming our army’s grain and grass settlements!”
“The combat effectiveness of that elite infantry is too fierce, and Zihe is afraid that he will soon be unable to resist it.” (Cao Chunzihe)
The grain and grass were about forty miles away from Cao Cao and Gongsun Zhan’s marching camp.
The reason why the grain and grass were placed there was precisely to stay away from the fire of war on the front line.
After all.
Cao Cao and Gongsun Zan did not know in their hearts whether they would be able to defeat the defenders of Xianshui Pass.
In case things don’t go well.
The two were also able to withdraw troops from the front in time.
There will be no loss of food and grass in the rear.
However, the stakes are high.
Both Cao Cao and Gongsun Zan chose to leave their most trusted henchmen and generals there.
Cao Cao’s side chose Xiahou Wei and Cao Chun.
Gongsun Zhan’s choice was Shan Jing and Tian Kai.
I thought that the location of the grain and grass storage land was hidden enough.
But I didn’t expect that I would be attacked by Dong Zhuojun!
“No, where exactly did the enemy come from?”
Compared to the loss, what made Cao Cao feel a headache was more.
He didn’t know why Dong Zhuojun suddenly appeared in the grain and grass settlement!
Fortunately, Cheng Yu and Xia Zhicai on the side reacted quickly.
The two of them quickly asked Xia Hou Wei:
“General Yuanrang, that army really doesn’t have a single cavalry, it’s all elite infantry?”
“yes.”
“But their combat effectiveness far exceeds that of other armies.”
“Our army is really difficult to resist.”
Thinking of the heavy losses suffered by the soldiers under his command in order to cover themselves and kill the encirclement, Xia Hou Wei even had the heart to cry.
Actually, look at the Kanto area.
The combat effectiveness of the Cao army is not weak.
When attacking Xuzhou not long ago, he also pressed the Xuzhou soldiers under Tao Qian, except for the Danyang elite soldiers, to the ground and rubbed.
If you are against the Union State Wolf Ride or the West Liang Iron Ride, it is understandable to lose.
After all, there is an insurmountable gap between cavalry and infantry.
Before the birth of the tiger and leopard horse, the Cao army did not form an elite cavalry.
However, the army that attacked the Cao Cao army and the Gongsun Zan army was only the infantry of Dong Zhuojun!
This is very scary!
Infantry, whether it is the speed of the march or the combat effectiveness of the individual units, is not comparable to the cavalry.
“Lord… That army is probably the same camp that crossed the Qinling Mountain Range to attack Hanzhong before! ”
Cheng Yu and Xia Zhicai said in unison.
For the wars that Gu Yi was in command, the two of them studied them more thoroughly.
Although the trap camp is only an elite infantry, it is extremely good at climbing over mountains.
Their ruler, Gao Shun, once led the trapping camp to conquer the gateway of Hanzhong, Zhuyang Pass.
There are also some rolling hills near Xianshuiguan and Hujiaoguan.
But under normal circumstances, these hills are not enough for a large army to cross over.
But if this elite army is trapped, it can only be another matter.
“Trapped… Trapped in the camp? ”
A flash of worry flashed in Cao Cao’s pupils.
Gongsun Zan was confused.
Before Gu Yi pacified Hanzhong, there were no famous battles in the trapping camp at all.
When the first coalition of princes attacked Dong Zhuo, the Kwantung princes did not have a head-on confrontation with the trapping camp.
In such cases.
As for the specific information of the trapped camp, the Kanto princes did not know much.
“No wonder Hua Xiong deliberately stayed here.”
“I’m afraid… It is to wait until our army receives the news that the grain and grass settlement has been attacked by the entrapped, and then make the next move. ”
Cheng Yu and Xia Zhicai both flashed this terrible thought in their hearts.
Now the situation is obvious.
If Cao Cao and Gongsun Zan allowed the grain and grass to be attacked by the trapping camp.
Then, with the forces in the hands of Cao Chun, Shan Jing, Tian Kai and others, it will definitely be difficult to resist the onslaught of the entrapped.
At that time, all the grain and grass of Cao Cao’s army and Gongsun Zhan’s army were burned out. (Read violent novels, just go to Feilu Fiction Network!) )
What do the armies of the two sides eat?
Therefore.
Left to Cao Cao and Gongsun Zan as a choice.
The only way is to immediately withdraw the troops and lead the main army back to aid the grain and grass settlements.
But once they withdrew.
Hua Xiong, who was less than five miles away from them now.
Will definitely order the pursuit as soon as possible!
Whether Cao Cao and Gongsun Zan chose to stay and fight Huaxiong or continue to retreat, their troops would suffer heavy losses.
And on the side of the grain and grass settlement, the remaining soldiers will also be quickly strangled by the trapped camp!
To put it bluntly.
Cao Caojun and Gongsun Zhanjun have been driven into a desperate situation.
No matter how they choose, they will have to pay a terrible price for it today!
Cao Cao gritted his teeth fiercely.
As the saying goes.
Reluctant children can’t trap wolves ..
Food and grass must be saved.
Otherwise, whether the army can smoothly return to Yanzhou’s lair is a difficult question to say.
But if it is because he went to save food and grass, the entire army under his command was destroyed, and it was revealed.
At the critical moment, Cao Cao revealed his heroic side!
I saw that he quickly summoned the generals of the Cao army over.
Soon, Xia Houyuan, Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Li Dian, Lejin, Yu Ban and others all rushed over.
“Master, what are your orders?”
“Are you going to launch a general attack on Huaxiong Naxiong?”
At this moment, Cao Yingzhong did not know about the raid of the fallen camp in the grain and grass settlements.
They also thought that Cao Cao finally couldn’t help it and wanted to take the initiative to attack Huaxiong!
Behold.
Cao Cao sighed lonely.
Then, he signaled Cheng Yu to tell them about the desperate situation that Cao Jun was now facing.
After listening, all the generals fell silent.
Everyone is not a rookie who is on the battlefield for the first time, and naturally understands the criticality of the situation at this moment.
To put it bluntly, Cao Cao is now either fighting or retreating.
If the army under his command is not careful, it is very likely to face the desperate situation of total annihilation!
Sweeping his gaze at the generals, Cao Cao sighed:
“Gentlemen, I plan to leave some soldiers and horses as the troops of the palace to resist Huaxiong.”
“The remaining main army will immediately return to the grain and grass settlement with me.”
“I don’t know, which of you wants to stay in the queen?”
When he said this, Cao Cao’s heart was like a knife.
The generals of Cao Ying, each of them has quite good abilities.
But no way.
Leaving a general and some soldiers as the rear army was the only way to avoid the total destruction of the main army.
However, the general who stayed behind the palace would die nine times out of ten.
This moment.
All the generals of Cao Ying fell into deep thought.
And the next moment!
All of them stood up in unison, wanting to apply for the empress.
Including Xia Hou Wei, who was covered in blood all over his body, he also shouted that he wanted to stay in the queen of the palace.
But before he could speak, he was quietly pulled by Xia Zhicai.
As a Cao Ying strategist, Xia Zhicai saw more thoroughly than these Cao Ying martial generals.
No matter who stayed behind the palace, it was impossible for Cao Cao to let Xiahou Wei stay!
Sure enough.
Cao Cao’s gaze swept over the generals.
In the end, it stayed on Yu Ban’s body.
Except forbidden.
The remaining Cao Ying generals had come to join Cao Cao when they had just joined the army, and even 5.9 had come to join the army.
Only forbidden, originally mixed with Jibei Xiangbao Xin.
After Bao Xin’s death, Yu Ban Cai led the remnants to join Cao Cao.
(PS: It is clearly recorded that Yu officially defected to Cao Cao in the third year of Chuping (192 AD). )
On personal feelings.
Compared to other Cao Ying generals.
The friendship between Cao Cao and Yu Ban was the shallower.
But it’s about ability.
Yu Ban is good at managing the army and has a relatively stable personality.
Staying after the palace can be said to be quite reliable.
Therefore, among the other Cao camp generals, Cao Cao finally chose to sacrifice to the ban.
Meeting Cao Cao’s gaze, a hint of helplessness flashed in Yu Forbidden’s eyes.
But he also knew that he was indeed the most suitable candidate to stay in the palace.
“The end will be forbidden, may the Lord be troubled.”
Yu Ban hugged his fist and said.
Hearing this, Cao Cao sighed:
“Wen Ze, rest assured.”
“If something happens to you, my wife and children will raise you.”
Yu Ban smiled miserably.
But then, a flash of determination flashed in his eyes.
He quickly selected 5,000 elite soldiers from under Cao Cao and prepared them to serve as the army behind the palace.
Meanwhile.
The same scene was happening on Gongsun Zhan’s side.
In the end, it was decided that Wang Men would lead 3,000 soldiers to stay behind the palace.
But……
Whether it is forbidden or royal gate.
Or the Eight Thousand Hall Rear Army.
None of them understood what the meaning of this palace was.
……。
