Jagged hegemony of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 707

Hearing the shouts of killing in the camp getting weaker and weaker, Cao Zhang wailed: "Brother...!"

"Third Young Master, let's go, if you don't leave, you won't be able to leave. If you die, who will avenge the Eldest Young Master!"

Hou Xuan desperately pulled Cao Zhang, who wanted revenge, and pulled back with all his strength.

"I won't go, I'm going to avenge my brother now, let me go! Let me go!"

Cao Zhang's eyes were red, and he was completely blinded by hatred.

"Third Young Master, offended!"

Hou Xuan raised his right hand and hit Cao Zhang with a knife on the neck, knocking Cao Zhang unconscious, then handed Cao Zhang over to two soldiers for support, and ordered: "Retreat! The whole army retreats!"

After Hou Xuan gave an order, only a few thousand Cao troops left could run back.

"General, shall we chase after him?"

Seeing Cao's army retreat, Lieutenant General Euphorbia asked Gao Lan.

Gao Lan raised his hand to stop him and said, "Don't chase after poor bandits, besides, our lord's order is to prevent Cao's rescue from entering the camp! We don't need to chase them down!"

"Here!"

The lieutenant general immediately ordered: "Brothers, clean up the battlefield, and if you encounter Cao Jun who is not dead, you will make up for it! Drop Cao Jun's body together, and set the fire in a while!"

"Here!"

Tens of thousands of euphorbia soldiers separated Cao Jun's body from those of his own people in a short time, poured oil on Cao Jun's body and burned Cao Jun's body on fire.

"Go, enter the camp and see how the battle is going!"

After setting the corpse on fire, Gao Lan held his nose and led the soldiers to the barracks by the river.

"Junyi, what's the matter, how many Cao soldiers have you killed?"

As soon as he entered the camp, Gao Lan saw Zhang Xi who was leading people to clean up the battlefield.

Seeing Gao Lan coming, Zhang He put down his work and said, "The exact number has not been calculated yet, but none of the Cao troops who entered the camp escaped, and all of them are here!"

Zhang Xi patted the cloth bag under the horse's neck again, and said, "I have gained a lot this time. Guess whose head is in this bag?"

"You killed Cao Ang?"

Gao Lan asked.

"That's right, this is Cao Cao's eldest son. If you hang this head at the gate of the camp tomorrow, do you think Cao Cao will be so angry that he will just turn his back on it?"

Zhang He said with a smile.

And Gao Lan said enviously: "Your relationship is good. With this head, the lord will definitely reward you, but I can't do it!"

"What? Is Xu Chu the person who took care of Cao Ang?"

Zhang Yun looked Gao Lan up and down, and found that Gao Lan was injured in many places.

"No, but it's about the same. The person who took care of Cao Ang was the most capable one in the old Cao family——Cao Zhang, I almost capsized in the gutter and fell into the hands of that kid."

Gao Lan said angrily.

"Hahahaha, then you are really lucky, but you and my brother jointly took down the Cao Jun who came to attack, how can the lord be stingy with the reward!"

"Well! That's true!"

……

After a while, the corpses of Cao Jun in the camp were also cleaned up, and a soldier ran over with a pamphlet and said, "General, there are more than [-] corpses of Cao Jun in the camp. The dead bodies were transported to the river and thrown into the Yellow River!"

"Fart! Who told you to do this? Do you know that if so many corpses are blocked somewhere, it may cause a plague. Once the plague breaks out, how many people will die? Pile up all the corpses quickly, use kerosene and wood Burn the corpse! Anyway, this barracks is useless, just light it up!"

"promise!"

After Zhang He finished speaking, the Hebei army immediately piled up Cao Jun's corpses, poured oil on fire, and lit them with torches.

By the time Cao Jun's body was burned, Dongfang had already turned pale.

"Brothers, it's midnight after you've been busy, hurry back to the camp for a full meal, and then get a good night's sleep!"

"Oh oh oh!"

The soldiers of the Hebei army cheered in unison. When they heard that they were going to eat and sleep, all the exhausted soldiers cheered up and retreated to the barracks with great strides.

On the other side, Cao Zhang woke up after being brought back to Cao Jun's camp by Hou Xuan, and went to see Cao Cao with red eyes.

As soon as he saw Cao Cao, Cao Zhang broke down in tears and sobbed for a long time, but couldn't speak.

When Cao Cao saw Cao Zhang's disheveled face and crying here again, he knew that Liu Wei had fallen into a trick, but he looked out of the tent for a long time, but no one came in, so he asked, "Ziwen, your elder brother Xiu Woolen cloth?"

Cao Cao didn't ask, but this question made Cao Zhang cry even harder. Cao Cao secretly thought that something was wrong until his eldest son was killed in battle in all likelihood.Then he said hastily: "A man won't flick his tears easily, why are you crying, where's your elder brother!"

Only then did Cao Zhang stop his tears: "Father, my eldest brother went to the camp to burn food. I didn't want to fall into the tricks of the Hebei army. I was incompetent and failed to rescue my eldest brother!"

"Buzz!"

Cao Cao's head swelled up, his ears buzzed, and his legs were a little weak. He took five or six steps back, and was supported by Xi Zhicai before he stood firm.All the generals in the tent were also shocked.

When everyone reacted from the shock, Cao Cao was already in tears, and the tears fell like raindrops.

"My lord, my condolences!"

Xi Zhicai helped Cao Cao to sit on the chair, and continued to persuade: "My lord, a big battle is coming, you must not have any accidents!"

All the generals also came forward to persuade Cao Cao.

But Cao Cao couldn't hear it, he closed his eyes and said nothing, his fists were tightly clenched, and his teeth were creaking.

"Xi Zhicai, draw up a letter of war, affix it with my seal of the king of Wei, and give it to Liu Wei. I will fight him tomorrow!"

"My lord...!"

"You don't need to persuade me, and you don't need to say anything. If you think that I will definitely lose, or if you are afraid of Liu Wei, you can leave now. I don't think it will hinder you! If you don't leave, then you can join me and Liu Ziyan tomorrow. Decisive battle! Tomorrow either Liu Ziyan will die or I, Cao Mengde will die!"

After speaking, Cao Cao looked around.

"May I live and die with the Lord!"

All the generals under Cao Cao knelt down and said.

"Okay, take a day off today, and tomorrow we will have a showdown with Liu Ziyan!"

Cao Cao slammed the table and shouted sharply.

……

"My lord, this is the head of Cao Mengde's eldest son, Cao Ang!"

After Zhang He returned to the barracks, he settled down with the soldiers, and went to meet Liu Wei with Gao Lan.

"You killed Cao Ang?"

Liu Wei stood up immediately, looked at Zhang He and said excitedly.

"Cao Ang's head is here!"

Zhang He held up a small wooden box and placed it in front of Liu Wei.

Liu Wei didn't even look at it, but handed the wooden box to Yang Jindao, and said to Yang Jindao, "Go, hang it at the gate of the camp!"

"Here!"

Yang Jindao took the wooden box and hung Cao Ang's head in the middle of the camp.
