Three Kingdoms, I open a tavern in Xudu

At the beginning of the counterattack against the Huns, Cao Jun did win several battles, which strengthened Cao Pi's confidence.

Because of this, Cao Pi began to drift away. Since the barbarian grew up, he kept ordering attacks. He thought it was the role of the Xianbei to suppress the Huns, so that the Huns had to disperse their forces and go north, so they could fight so easily.

Cao Pi couldn't get the news of the great changes in the Xiongnu. Now what awaits him is not a victory, but a trap.

Cao Jun's force was like a broken bamboo, and he fought all the way to the vicinity of Changshan, which is Zhao Zilong's hometown.

After successive victories, Cao Pi finally ordered to temporarily garrison troops, because he has basically not rested recently.

It has been so long since the Xiongnu went to war, they have never tried it, and they can fight so frankly.

"Dezu, it seems that the Xianbei people have successfully contained the Huns. Chen Yang in the Huns should be dying too, right?"

Cao Pi said excitedly: "Do you think we will continue to go north and unite with Xianbei to wipe out the Xiongnu in one fell swoop, or should we camp for a while to recuperate before continuing to send troops?"

They kept fighting the Xiongnu. If this went on for a long time, the men and horses were exhausted, and the soldiers were also very tired.

"Of course it is to continue to attack, to go all out, and not to give the Huns a chance to breathe."

But Yang Xiu was thinking in his heart, if he didn't take the initiative to attack, how could he get Cao Pi into the pit?He added: "If the Huns are slowed down, they may not dare to do anything to Xianbei, but they will definitely attack us first."

Cao Pi felt that it made sense, so he continued to order and pursued the victory.

The army got the order, set off quickly, and launched a new round of attack.

However, the moment Cao Jun left the barracks, a group of tens of thousands of Huns suddenly appeared in the south of Changshan.

Cao Pi and others were shocked and had to abandon the Huns in the north and go south to fight back.

However, the Huns in the north also took the opportunity to go south and attacked Cao Pi's soldiers and horses.

"Cannon, quickly deal with them with cannon."

Cao Pi panicked and had an ominous premonition.

The soldiers hastily moved out the artillery and prepared to bombard it, but found that all the gunpowder was damp and could not be used at all.

At this time, Xiahou Dun rushed back from the front line and said eagerly: "Second Master, all our gunpowder and firearms were wet with water, and they were all useless. The three-bow bed crossbow and crossbow were all destroyed."

Hearing this, Cao Pi shook for a while and almost fell off his horse. He didn't understand why it happened like this.

"Dezu, where's Yang Dezu?" Cao Pi shouted.

At the beginning, he ordered Yang Xiu to prepare these things, because Yang Xiu was his confidant, and only in this way would he be convinced.

Yang Xiu once told Cao Pi that all their weapons were fine.

"Second son, just now I saw Yang Xiu leading hundreds of people out of the barracks. He seems to have gone north to join the Huns." Cao Ren ran back anxiously and said, "We just wanted to intercept them, but we were attacked by the Huns. If you don't return, that villain Yang Xiu must have betrayed us!"

puff!

Cao Pi suddenly spurted blood and fell under the horse. Xia Houyuan and the others rushed to catch him.

After a while, another soldier came back to report, and the Huns attacked again.

As soon as the words were finished, a loud noise fell in the barracks, and gunpowder smoke was everywhere. Those were artillery made by Sima Yi.

The power is not weak!

"Why, he also betrayed me?"

Cao Pi said painfully, he couldn't figure it out, he was so good to Yang Xiu, why did he betray him?

After learning that Yang Xiu was going to join the Huns, Cao Pi finally understood one thing. All of this was a trap.

"Second Young Master, what should we do now?" Xia Houyuan asked hastily.

Cao Pi smiled wryly, and said in a low voice, "What else can I do?"

He's all gone and can't do anything.

Cao Ren saw him like this, and if he couldn't react, the whole army would be wiped out. He hurriedly said, "Let's fight out together, return to Yecheng, and cross the Yellow River to the south. Hu people are not good at water warfare. As long as we cross the Yellow River, They absolutely dare not chase again.”

Retreating to the south bank of the Yellow River, relying on the defense lines of Guandu, Yanjin and Baima to defend against the Huns, these were the plans and strategies given by Chen Yang.

Cao Ren's military order was quickly passed on, and everyone fought desperately, and finally got out in the middle of the artillery fire, and went all the way back to Daoye City, but the city gate couldn't withstand the bombardment of the shells, and it fell after a while. Do not cross the Yellow River and retreat to Yanjin.

After returning to Yanjin to set up defenses, Cao Ren ordered to move all the remaining artillery from Xudu to start a counterattack.

As for Cao Pi, he was almost stupid and was sent back to Xudu.

The news of Cao Pi's failure quickly spread throughout the entire Han Dynasty, and people were panicked.

"Thank you generals!"

Sun Quan said gratefully.

When Xia Houyuan and the others returned to Yecheng, they immediately released Sun Quan, Zhou Yu and others, and used the children of Jiangdong to fight back against the Xiongnu.

Xia Houyuan and the others can only be responsible for the foolish things Cao Pi did.

Cao Ren sighed, "We can't stop Second Young Master from doing that, we can only make up for it in this way. Please stay and help defend Yanjin and Baima. If we fail, Jiangdong will suffer sooner or later."

The Han Dynasty is about to be divided up by the princes and warlords, and the north has been pacified, but among the many people in the south, only Jiangdong is willing to come to rescue, people like Shuzhong and Lingnan have not seen any movement at all.

For this, Cao Ren and the others were also sincerely grateful.

"Generals, have you ever thought about bringing Zhao Zi'an back to save everything?" Zhou Yu said.

"Ugh!"

Xia Houyuan said helplessly: "This is too difficult. I once asked the second son, and he said that he had ordered people to hunt and kill Zi'an in the Xiongnu. The bad luck is unpredictable."

"what!"

Sun Quan was so excited that he was about to jump up.

If Cao Pi did this, he would destroy the foundation of their Cao family!

Sun Quan became nervous about Chen Yang.

Xia Houyuan didn't say anything more, left Sun Quan and others, and continued to defend.

"My lord, I don't think this place will be able to hold on sooner or later. I have to go to Chang'an to make sure that Zi'an is safe."

Zhou Yu said in a deep voice, "Whether we can save this crisis depends entirely on Zi'an."

At the same time, in Xudu.

Cao Cao woke up recently, and his body is still very weak. He doesn't care about the outside affairs, even Mrs. Ding and Mrs. Bian don't want him to take care of them.

Cao Pi was hit hard, and the two wives did not dare to tell Cao Cao about being sent back to recuperate.

"Zhongkang, I've been restless recently, and I always feel that something big is going to happen."

After Cao Cao finished drinking the medicine, he said worriedly, "Do you know what happened outside?"

Xu Chu stayed by Cao Cao's side all the time, and was ordered by his wives to keep it a secret, so he shook his head and said, "Prime Minister, you are overthinking, nothing happened outside."

"No, it's not right, something must be wrong!"

As soon as Cao Cao said that, he was about to stand up and walk outside.
