Chapter 264
Chapter 264
"I only hate! I hate that Meng De didn't listen to me back then!"
"If he had done anything to kill you when you first got Xuzhou, how could he have fallen to such a point today!"
"His real enemy is not Yuan Shao at all, but you Liu Bei—"
Cao Ren thumped his chest and screamed in the rest, full of remorse and unwillingness.
Liu Bei said coldly: "Cao Ren, you are wrong, the moment this king has to be assisted by Prime Minister Su Cheng, Cao Cao will have no chance, and his end will only be early and late." "
Cao Ren's body was shocked, as if he was awakened by Liu Bei in an instant, and fell into a trance.
His gaze was dull for a long time, and his hideous face turned bitter.
"You're right, you have that Xiao Changsu, Meng De is destined not to be your opponent. "
"Providence, this is Providence..."
Cao Ren was weak and fell to his knees, his eyes glazed and his soul lost.
He resigned himself to his fate.
No more struggles, no more grief.
Some just recognize the destiny of heaven and accept the helplessness of reality.
"Cao Ren, although you and I are mortal enemies, but you are a general, and this king deeply admires you. "
"You can go on the road with peace of mind, this king will bury you thickly!"
Liu Bei's eyes were like iron, and he waved his 027 hand slightly.
The guards on the left and right stepped forward, and they set up Cao Ren and dragged him out of the hall.
"Meng De, the mandate of heaven is in Liu, not in Cao, not in Han, not in Qin!"
"I've done my best for my brother, I'll go first..."
Cao Ren looked up to the sky and sighed, and his body was ruthlessly dragged away.
The first general of the Cao family, this falls.
Liu Bei looked at Cao Ren's back and sighed lightly, his eyes were a little regretful.
"Now is not the time for the king to lament. "
"Weikou City has been broken, Cao Cao must not have reacted yet, please the king immediately wave his army to the west and take Chang'an!"
Xiao Yuan spoke calmly.
Liu Bei put away his emotion, and his domineering and heroic spirit rekindled.
"Order, the army will immediately march west along Weishui and attack Chang'an!"
"No!"
The generals took the order with pride.
When the city of Weikou was captured, 300,000 Han troops drove westward and attacked Chang'an, Xijing.
...
South of Chang'an, Fenghao City.
Cao Cao stood at the head of the city, looking down at the "ransacked" city, his eyes surging with disgust.
This is the third city that has been sacked by Deng Ai in three days.
That Deng Ai, after learning that he led the army back to Chang'an, played a game of hiding (aeaa) cats with him.
He was chasing behind, and Deng Ai was running in front.
Anyway, it is to go around Chang'an, and every time a city is broken, the grain and grass in the treasury will be looted, and the war will be fed by war.
Cao Cao chased for three days, and Deng Ai fled for three days.
Neither confronting him head-on, nor retreating to Meridian Valley, as if he was deliberately walking him.
"This Deng Ai is really hateful!"
"Is he walking this king when he is a donkey?"
Cao Cao clenched his fists and slammed them the battlements.
Ma Chao said angrily: "Please ask the king's ministers to lead the Liangzhou cavalry to pursue that Deng Ai, and the king will set up a siege, and the ministers will drive that Deng Ai into the king's siege." "
This proposal made Cao Cao's eyes shine.
Ma Chao's proposal is a good strategy.
Deng Ai's more than 10,000 men were foot soldiers, and if he sent cavalry to pursue, he could indeed drive them away.
Cao Cao blurted out that he wanted to adopt it.
Guo Jia on the side, but coughed a few times, hinting at the reminder.
Cao Cao suddenly realized, and when the words came to his mouth, he swallowed them back hard.
Ma Chao, after all, is not a confidant...
Cao Cao has always lacked cavalry, and nearly 7,000 cavalry under his command, most of which were the Liangzhou cavalry brought by the Ma family when he pacified Guanzhong and surrendered.
These Liangzhou cavalry, named Cao Jiajun, only obeyed the orders of the Ma family.
Therefore, Cao Cao could only reuse the Ma clan on the surface, and ordered the Ma brothers to divide the seven thousand iron horses.
Although he cherished Ma Chao's bravery, he did not dare to let Ma Chao command all the cavalry, and at most he led two or three thousand cavalry to accompany him in each battle.
If you want to deal with Deng Ai's 10,000 Han army this time, you have to gather 7,000 iron horsemen and pour out of the nest.
This means that Ma Chao should be allowed to command all the Liangzhou cavalry of the Qin State. (If you read a violent novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
If Ma Chao has a different heart, the consequences are unimaginable!
After all, the Ma clan was newly surrendered, not his subordinate general, which did not completely reassure Cao Cao.
Meng Qi calmed down. "
"The Liangzhou Iron Horse is a weapon for the king to win, and it must not be moved lightly until it is absolutely necessary. "
Cao Cao had to find a high-sounding reason and perfunctory Ma Chao.
Ma Chao's request was rejected again, and a little displeasure flashed between his eyebrows.
But he didn't dare to have any objections, so he had to retreat sullenly.
"Since Deng Ai is fighting for war, then we can deduce that the city he may loot next is. "
"The king can lead the main force to follow and pursue, and then send troops in advance to increase the defense of the city that is speculated to be captured, and attack inside and outside, and he will definitely be able to besiege and kill Deng Ai!"
Sima Yi offered a plan.
Cao Cao's eyes lit up, and he praised: "Zhong Da is reasonable, bring the map!"
At that moment, Cao Cao and his strategists gathered in front of the map, calculating which city Deng Ai would loot next.
Pedal Pedal Ped
Cao Chun gasped, climbed up to the top of the city with a frightened face, and knelt down in front of Cao Cao.
"King, something is wrong!"
"The big-eared thieves have broken through Weikou City, and our 30,000 defenders have been wiped out. "
"Zhu Ling and the other ten generals were all killed in battle, and Cheng Yu was also killed by the Han army!"
"Brother Zixiao was captured by Zhao Yun, and he would rather die than give in, but he has been killed by the big-eared thief!"
Cao Chun fell to the ground and reported the bad news silently.
It was like a thunderbolt from the sky, crashing into the city.
Everyone, shocked and discolored.
Cao Cao's head buzzed, and his eyes were blank in an instant, and the whole person was dizzy, staggering and about to fall down.
"King!"
Guo Jia and the others screamed and pounced on Cao Cao to hold him up.
Cao Cao's face was pale, and the beads of sweat rolled straight down, panting heavily.
After a long time, Cao Cao relieved himself, and his face suddenly swelled with endless grief and indignation.
"Zixiao, Zixiao—"
A sorrowful cry sounded on the tower.
"It's only been a few days, and Weikou City has fallen?"
"The big-eared thief, how did he do it?"
Sima Yi asked Cao Chun in disbelief.
"It was Jia Xu's dog thief who secretly took refuge in Liu Bei and persuaded Zhang Xiu to surrender to Liu. "
"Zhang Xiu raided the killer, killed Xiahou Shang, and opened the east gate to let the Han army enter the city. "
"Brother Zixiao was completely defenseless, and he was caught off guard, so he lost Weikou City. "
Cao Chun gritted his teeth and told the cause and effect.
Everyone was stunned.
Even Guo Jia was stunned, never expecting that the duo of Zhang Xiu and Jia Xu would betray Cao Cao twice.
"Zhang Xiu, Jia Xu!"
"You two disloyal and unrighteous shameless dog thieves!"
"You killed this king Ang'er, killed Dian Wei enough, and now you killed this king's son Xiao!"
"This king is going to kill you and break your corpses into ten thousand pieces~~"
Cao Cao pushed everyone away, rushed to the city wall, and scolded angrily in the direction of Weikou City.
