Three Kingdoms, I'm really not a general!

Chapter 325: Cao’s army was defeated!

"King Wei!"

"The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry of Generals Cao Xiu and Cao Zhang have been defeated!"

"King of Wei! Generals Xu Huang and Yu Jin have been defeated and are returning to their camp!"

"King Wei, the front army has been defeated. The army of Jingzhou is coming towards our camp from all directions!"

As bad news came one after another, Cao Cao's face became extremely gloomy. He looked around and saw the sounds of fierce killing.

The soldiers of Jingzhou were as excited as if they had been injected with chicken blood, and were fighting desperately.

Too much.
Cao Cao knew that after today’s defeat, he might not be able to return to Xiangfan for several years.

"Heaven, do not bless the Cao family!"

With a sigh in his heart, Cao Cao knew that since Zhang Liao had been defeated today, he didn't even have a chance to fight back.

I just didn't expect it.
The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry were defeated so quickly!
But he asked in a deep voice: "Who defeated the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry?"

The soldier who delivered the message hurriedly responded, "It was Xing Daorong. What did he say? He said there is a Mo Dao Army that has been trained for many years and is used to kill the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry!"

Cao Cao felt helpless after hearing this!
It turned out that Xing Daorong had started targeting the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry many years ago.

So it's what they deserve to win today.

After all, he has been preparing for many years and is more prepared than me, so he will naturally win.

Cao Cao understood what he was thinking, but he was also a little confused.

If there is something that I don't understand, it's still Xing Daorong.

I can't understand why Xing Daorong was staring at me at the beginning, as if he knew that there would be a fight to the death.
Nemesis
This is Chunchun’s nemesis!
Suddenly I felt a surge of anger rising to my heart, making my head hurt.

But Cao Cao knew that he could not fall now, so he gritted his teeth and persevered.

He waved his hand and said, "Let's go, withdraw our troops! Return to Wancheng!"

As soon as Cao Cao gave the order, the army retreated immediately.

The soldiers of Jingzhou chased Cao's army relentlessly, and chased them for fifty miles before letting them go.

In this way, even though Cao Cao led the troops himself, he was defeated, and Cao Wei’s last hope was really lost.

But things are far from that simple.

There was a very strange phenomenon during the Three Kingdoms period: after Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao, or Liu Bei were defeated in a battle, their bodies suddenly became weak.

It was as if they died on the battlefield. As the battle went wrong, their energy and blood became like a candle in the wind, ready to go out at any time.

Cao Cao is doing the same now, retreating to Wancheng.

The defeat was even more serious than the one in the Battle of Guanzhong. The moment Cao Cao arrived in Wancheng, he fainted.

Although he woke up early the next morning, he was depleted of energy and blood, and his face was pale, which was very scary!

From this look, not to mention the imperial physician, even ordinary people could see that the King of Wei was probably doomed.

Jia Xu became very anxious when he saw this and immediately wanted to send Cao Cao to Yecheng.

But this is just something I can think about, I dare not act!

Why?

But I’m afraid that Cao Cao will die on the road!

That’s right, Cao Cao’s situation is so bad right now.

Jia Xu didn't even have the courage to send Cao Cao to Yecheng
And Cao Cao seemed to have no intention of going back. Half a month after the battle, Cao Cao knew that he was seriously ill and his eyes were blurry. Suddenly, he seemed to see Xu Chu and Xun Yu standing in front of his bed.

Just as he was about to speak, he blinked and the person disappeared.

I immediately realized that I didn't have much time left.

In November of the 19th year of Jian'an, Cao Cao was seriously ill in Wancheng.

He summoned Jia Xu, Cheng Yu, Cao Ren, Sima Yi and others to meet him.

Cheng Yu, Sima Yi and others came to Wancheng and were shocked to see Cao Cao in such a state. Cao Cao ordered everyone to sit in front of the bed.

But he said: "I have dominated the world for more than 30 years, and all the heroes have been eliminated, except Sun Quan in Jiangdong and Liu Bei in Xishu, who have not been eliminated."

"I am now critically ill and cannot talk to you any more, so I have entrusted you with my family affairs. My eldest son Cao Ang, born to Liu, unfortunately died young in Wancheng."

When everyone heard Cao Cao speak like this, they thought it was like he was going to make arrangements for his affairs after his death, and they were immediately frightened.

Their faces showed complicated expressions, and a feeling of sadness suddenly rose in their hearts.

How can one not sigh when seeing such a heroic figure in this state?

Cao Cao then continued, "Now Bian has given birth to four sons: Pi, Zhang, Zhi, and Xiong. Zhi, the third son whom I love all my life, is vain and dishonest, and is addicted to alcohol and indulges himself, so I will not make him my heir. The second son, Cao Zhang, is brave but not wise; the fourth son, Cao Xiong, is ill and can hardly be saved. Only the eldest son, Cao Pi, is loyal and respectful, and can inherit my career. You should assist him."

Jia Xu and others accepted the order with tears.

Cao Cao also ordered his attendants to fetch the famous incense he had collected, and said, "After I die, ask my concubine to learn women's work and make more silk shoes. By selling them, you can earn money to support yourself."

He also ordered his concubines to live in the Bronze Sparrow Tower, and to hold sacrifices every day, with female entertainers playing music and serving food.

Jia Xu asked: "King of Wei, Prince Pi is still in Shouchun. Can we ask him to return to Yecheng?"

Of course Cao Cao understood what Jia Xu meant. Now that he had chosen Cao Pi as his successor, Cao Pi should be the lord of Yecheng.

Otherwise, there might be quarrels among brothers.

He nodded immediately and said, "Tell Cao Pi to go back to Yecheng, and ask Cao Zhi to come here."

When Jia Xu heard this, he immediately made up his mind and went downstairs to pass on the order.

After all, if Cao Cao really died of illness, although it would be a big deal, the basic foundation would still exist.

But if we fail to distinguish between the old and the young, I'm afraid something bad will happen!
The end of Yuan Shao and Liu Biao is right in front of us, and Jia Xu does not want to repeat the same mistake.

Fortunately, although Cao Cao was seriously ill, his mind was still clear.

As for the reasons Cao Cao gave, saying that Cao Zhi was "vain and dishonest", Cao Zhang was "brave but without strategy", and Cao Xiong was "sick and difficult to protect", most of them were just excuses.

After Cao Cao finished speaking, he waved his hand and told everyone to leave.

Soon, he fell into a deep sleep.

How fast?
Before everyone left, Cao Cao had already fallen asleep.

Everyone saw it, but said nothing.

Just tell Cao Cao to have a good rest.

However, everyone knew that no matter how much Cao Cao rested, he would never be able to rest as well as he did before.

Now we just have to wait for the time when our fate will come.

Although I don’t know exactly when it will happen, this time should be here soon.

The words are divided into two parts.

Cao Cao's side in Wancheng was completely dead, but in Jingzhou there was loud drums and gongs, a scene of great joy!

Especially when they saw Xing Daorong appear, the people in the city and the soldiers in the army were all excited!

They all shouted: "General Xing, you are not dead!"

"General Xing, how are you?"

"Oh, this has made us sad for so long!"

Xing Daorong couldn't stop smiling as he listened to the people around him. He said, "Alas, in order to defeat the enemy, this is also a helpless move. I am sorry to have wronged you all."

Everyone laughed when they heard it: "It's not a problem, it's not a problem, we are just worried about the general."

This was truly a celebration of joy for both the military and the people, and Zhang Liao, who was watching from behind, was secretly amazed.

But I have never seen such a scene. Xing Daorong is so popular!

Such a great general.
Liu Bei didn't doubt him at all.
