Three Kingdoms, I'm really not a general!

Chapter 546 Cao Pi is seriously injured
The opportunity is fleeting!
Ma Chao missed the chance to kill Cao Pi and felt extremely regretful, so now facing the two generals Xu Huang and Zhang He, Ma Chao had no intention of retreating. He wanted to fight one against two!

When Zhang He and Xu Huang saw Ma Chao coming to attack, they were naturally not afraid.

Not to mention two against one, even if it's a one-on-one situation, there is no reason for the two to retreat.

His Majesty is right behind us and is already injured. How can we be cowardly?
With both sides fighting desperately, is it really true that neither can do anything to the other?
The two sides fought for twenty or thirty rounds, but neither could do anything to the other!
In such a fighting situation, Cao Pi had already found an opportunity and ran away a short distance.

Zhang He and Xu Huang entangled Ma Chao, and seeing that the defeated army was gradually moving away, they were unwilling to fight with Ma Chao for too long.

They found an opportunity and both of them attacked with all their might, pushing Ma Chao back!

He immediately turned his horse around and led his troops to retreat.

Naturally, Ma Chao was unwilling to give up and continued to pursue.

However, Xing Daorong also led his troops up and said to Ma Chao, "Mengqi! Don't be anxious!"

"Since we failed this time, let's give up for now. Don't chase after a desperate enemy!"

After listening to Xing Daorong's words, Ma Chao had no choice but to give up the idea of ​​chasing him.

But with a bitter face and full of regret, he came to Xing Daorong, dismounted and bowed, saying: "General! I have failed your trust!"

"That shot could have killed Cao Pi, but he was so excited that his hand slipped and he stabbed him wrong!"

"Really...really incompetent!"

Xing Daorong knew clearly that anyone in this world could let Cao Pi go, except Ma Chao.

I'm afraid he was too excited and wanted to kill Cao Pi too much, so he shot the ball a little off target.

This is like a player with a 90% free throw shooting percentage in the future, but he misses the crucial free throw in the finals.

Having too many desires in your heart...it is indeed possible that you will not perform normally.

But well...

The original intention of the decapitation plan was just to give it a try. If it succeeds, that would be the best. If it doesn't, it would be bad to lower morale.

Xing Daorong comforted him, "It's okay, it's okay. I think Meng Qi's shot was enough for Cao Pi to bear."

Ma Chao was somewhat confident about this.

Although that shot of his could not kill Cao Pi directly, it was enough to hurt him.

He nodded and said, "General, don't worry. Although this shot cannot kill Cao Pi, it will definitely injure him for a year or so."

"My shot went straight through his shoulder. If he doesn't return to Yecheng, the wound will definitely get infected."

Oh?
This is a pleasant surprise!
Xing Daorong originally thought that Cao Pi could not be killed and was only slightly injured.

I didn’t expect Ma Chao’s shot to be so powerful!
From the sound of it, this shot directly crippled Cao Pi, and he had no choice but to return to Yecheng!

But he asked, "Are you serious?"

"If Cao Pi doesn't return to Yecheng, will it be difficult to hold on?"

Ma Chao nodded confidently and said, "That's right! I need to heal my spear for some time."

"If he is thrown into chaos in the army, he will surely die!"

After hearing what Ma Chao said, Xing Daorong understood.

At the moment, his eyes turned, and he had another idea, and said: "If it is said that way, if we can make Cao Pi hesitate and stay here, wouldn't it be possible to kill him?"

This... Ma Chao heard this and said, "How can we let Cao Pi stay here?"

Xing Daorong said: "We can't do it, but Lord Yuan Chang in Yecheng may be able to do it, but how to operate it... we still need to plan it first."

After that, he looked at Ma Chao who was still a little unhappy and said: "Mengqi... don't take today's loss to heart."

"Let Cao Pi live for a while longer. We need to focus on the important matters first."

Naturally, it was not so easy for Ma Chao to calm down.

The enemy who killed my father! It is naturally very painful to fail to take revenge!

However, he still tried to control his emotions and said to Xing Daorong, "Are we going to attack Luoyang?"

Xing Daorong nodded slightly and said, "That's right... If we want to prevent Cao Pi from escaping, we have to attack Luoyang right in front of him."

"This is the first step, so it can't be wrong."

"As for the rest... we'll make arrangements later!"

Ma Chao was impressed by Xing Daorong's ability to figure out the general situation in such a short time. He bowed and said, "You are worthy of being a great general. I will obey your orders!"

...

Although Xing Daorong failed to kill Cao Pi this time, the overall result was still good.

As for Cao's camp, everyone was depressed and looked glum.

I couldn't help but worry. Even if His Majesty led the army in person and sent out all the elite troops, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to gain any advantage.

But that’s not even the point at this point…

The focus at this moment is His Majesty’s injury!

Although he saved his life, it seemed that Ma Chao's shot was very powerful!
Since returning to Yongning County, His Majesty has become weak and has no strength left in his body, as if all the energy had been drained out of him.

At this moment, he was lying on the bed, motionless, just like the old Jia Xu.

This state made everyone worried. They were afraid that the military doctor would come out and shake his head, saying that His Majesty could not be saved...

After waiting anxiously for who knows how long, everyone saw the military doctor, sweating profusely, coming out of the tent and saying to everyone, "Your Majesty is safe, but there are some things that His Majesty wants to tell the generals. Please come into the tent together..."

Hearing that Cao Pi's life was not in danger, everyone felt a little relieved.

However, his uneasy mood did not improve much. From what the military doctor said, it was obvious that His Majesty's condition was not optimistic.

As the military doctors slowly entered the tent one by one, they saw Cao Pi lying on the bed with a pale face.

Gao Tanglong asked quickly: "Your Majesty...how do you feel?"

Cao Pi exhaled slowly: "Don't worry, my dear minister. I feel fine, but I don't have much strength, which makes me look a little scary."

After saying this, he reluctantly looked at Zhang He and Xu Huang and asked, "Have the Han army made any moves?"

The two generals immediately stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the Han army was intercepted by the two of us and we did not pursue them further. Now their main camp is not moving."

"only…"

As the two of them were talking, the subject suddenly changed and they seemed unable to continue.

Gao Tanglong, who was standing beside him, listened anxiously.

It's already this late! You're still hesitating!
If you don’t explain it clearly now, we can wait until we return to Yecheng!

So he asked anxiously: "Generals, if you have anything to say, just say it directly."

"Your Majesty, this is not the time to keep us in suspense."

The two generals didn't think much about it and said, "But when the news of His Majesty's serious injury spread, I'm afraid Xing Daorong will immediately send troops to attack this place."

"We suggest that we should not stay here for long, but go straight to Luoyang."

Upon hearing this, Cao Pi shook his head slightly.

"The county town is full of traps. It is useless to capture it. If Xing Daorong knew that I was seriously injured, he would only seize Luoyang."

"So we can't stay in the city. We have to wait here and support Luoyang City at any time."

"Xing Daorong was afraid, so he didn't dare to attack the city!"
