People in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Hu and Han respected together

Fighting all night...

The next day, it was not an easy task to collect the prisoners and clean up the corpses.

Cao Cao prepared two plans, one was to sneak attack on the enemy camp, and the other was to storm the enemy camp. The two plans dispatched 4 people. These 4 people were put on the frontal battlefield. Only one night after the crash, it was completely taken down.

At this time, Li Yao was comforting the depressed Bei Gongli, and said with a smile:
"When Cao Cao ran away, he ran away. He defeated Cao Cao's [-] elite last night. He couldn't make any waves, and you also killed Cao Cao's generals, Xia Houdun, Xia Houyuan. With this record, who in the entire Central Plains Dare to underestimate you!"

Bei Gongli also knew that last night he killed Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan, which was quite a gain, but it was a pity that Cao Cao's good head was so close to him that he didn't cut it off.

After a little thought, Bei Gongli said seriously:

"Last night's ambush was partly caused by the flying steps of the tiger-winged guards. The arrows used by the Qiang Di in flying steps were highly poisonous. I don't know if Cao Cao was hit by the arrows..."

Speaking of this, Bei Gongli laughed again and said:
"I hope he didn't get hit by an arrow. Only in this way, next time I will be able to cut off his head with my own hands!"

Li Yao laughed lightly. He was in a very good mood. After killing Cao Cao's [-] elite soldiers, even if Cao Cao returned alive, he would not be able to produce so many elite troops in a short time.

Thinking of the reported results, Cao Cao's eldest son Cao Ang died in battle, generals Xu Chu and Dian Wei died in battle, generals Xia Houdun and Xia Houyuan died in battle, and there are so many middle-level officers and low-level soldiers.

Compared with the night of Wancheng, the night of Mangshan this time must be more unforgettable for Cao Cao.

Especially, Xu Chu and Dian Wei, even Li Yao feels sorry for these two, but as enemies, their greatest respect is to kill each other on the battlefield.

At this time, Li Yao narrowed his eyes and said:
"When Li Jue, Guo Si, Fan Chou, and Zhang Ji cross the river, and have enough troops and grain and grass brought from Jizhou, they can send troops to attack Cao Cao..."

"This Cao Cao, I don't want to beat him, he wants to beat me, he will simply kill him and sweep the Central Plains!"

……

At the same time, Cao Jun camped!
People in the army are now panic-stricken. Although the superiors try their best to conceal it, there are so many people missing in the army, and everyone can tell that something is wrong.

It didn't take long before a military order spread quickly, and Mr. Cao had something to say, tidy up his things and prepare to withdraw his troops.

The whole army was shocked, but someone saw Cao Cao come back last night, so everyone guessed that Cao Cao withdrew his troops after losing the battle last night.

But at least Cao Cao is still there, so although everyone is panicked, the army is still in order.

On the same day, more than 5 Cao Jun left cleanly. In order not to arouse suspicion from the outside world, everything in the barracks was as usual, with kettles, utensils, food and grass, and even cooking smoke rising.

After another day, Duan Yan realized that something was wrong, and sent scouts in the army to investigate and found that Cao Jun's camp was empty, and he might have been away for a long time.

Immediately led the troops out of the city, occupied the camp, seized the tents, countless cauldrons, and tens of thousands of shi of grain and grass.

But Duan Xuan was not willing to give in. While sending people to contact Li Yao, he also sent people to pursue Cao Jun.

Duan Yan didn't have many cavalry in his hands, only [-] cavalry. Relying on his strong mobility, he chased several Cao troops.

But in the end, it was discovered that these were the old, weak, sick and disabled in Cao's army. They were the docked tails in the midst of their survival, and they were thrown out to stop the pursuers and delay the time.

The real remaining elites have long since fled without a trace. From this point of view alone, there are some masters among Cao Jun.

Compassion does not control soldiers, flexibility...is brought into full play.Five days have passed since the day the troops were withdrawn.

Yingchuan, Xu County!
The last [-] elite Cao Jun finally came back here. When he saw Xun Yu, Guo Jia, who was already terminally ill and unable to move, held on to his last breath, entrusted everything to Xun Yu, and passed away with endless regrets.

Xun Yu was deeply saddened:
"Bong Xiao..."

Back in Xu County, Cao Cao's death could not be concealed completely. While countless people were mourning for it, the hearts of the whole Xu County were fluctuating, from the officials to the common people.

Once Li Yao leads the army to attack, the city will fall in less than ten days.

At this critical time, Xun Yu supported everything, and in front of Cao Cao's spirit, under the witness of Cao's clan, he elected Cao Pi, who was only 12 years old, as his successor.

According to Guo Jia's last words, Xun Yu began to explain the current situation in front of Cao Pi and Cao Cao's old ministers:
"Xu County can't stand firm. This is the way to die. Once Li Yao leads his army south, the [-] troops who come back from the battlefield with unstable morale will definitely not be able to defend Xu County in front of Li Yao's iron cavalry!"

The reasoning is very simple, but among those present wearing hemp belts and filial piety, who can easily accept it.

Le Jin is not tall, but his temper is definitely not small. He punched the table and said sharply with red eyes:

"I'm not afraid of death. If we can't avenge Duke Ming, how can we stand between heaven and earth!"

Yu Jin is relatively calm. If Le Jin is regarded as the first brave general, then Yu Jin is the general of the army. If he hadn't surrendered to Guan Yu, with his qualifications and achievements, his status in Cao Wei would be even higher.

他 说:

"Sir, we are all rough people. If you have any ideas, just tell us directly. Ming Gong has been so kind to us, and we are all willing to die in return!"

When Xun Yu heard this, he glanced at the crowd. After Xu Chu, Dianwei, Xiahoudun, and Xiahouyuan died in battle, Yu Jin and Le Jin were the most senior generals among the generals of the Cao family, and among the generals of the Cao family. The most experienced people, Cao Hong and Cao Ren are both in the southeast.

Cao Chun, Cao Xiu... and others are not qualified enough and their reputations are not good enough. They need to continue to work hard before they can be entrusted with important tasks.

Xun Yu looked at them and said:

"Abandon Xu County, abandon the Central Plains, retreat to the southeast, join General Cao Hong and General Cao Ren, and go to the land of Jianghuai to re-establish the foundation..."

"Release Guan Yu, ease the relationship with Liu Bei, and unite with the Sun family in Jiangdong. Our army was defeated and demoralized. We must have strong reinforcements to restore the morale and morale of the army..."

"Liu Biao, the dog who guards the household, the dying man, his two sons will fight sooner or later, and then they will be annexed by Li Yao. The only ones we can ask for help are Sun and Liu!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone present was silent, because this was giving away all the results of their years of hard work.

For the sake of the Central Plains, how many battles have been fought and how many people have died, it is unacceptable to say no to it now.

At this time, Cao Pi, who was only 12 years old and was hastily elected as the heir, said very firmly:
"I agree with my uncle's strategy. First send my mother, younger brothers, and all the uncle's family members to the southeast safely, and then we will avenge our revenge. Father's revenge and elder brother's revenge must be repaid with blood!"

Xun Yu's eyes were filled with tears. He had chosen a suitable heir, and the rest of the people were all in a daze. They no longer resisted, and all worshiped:

"Follow the order!"
