King of Liao at the end of Han Dynasty

Chapter 448

Li Lin was defeated, and the Youliao army was defeated, but Cao Cao did not necessarily win. In the next bloody battle in Xuchang City, more than 4000 soldiers from both sides were killed or injured. There were heavy casualties, and in the end only three to 1000 people were able to continue fighting, and the kidnapper horse also said that it was severely injured and lost nearly half. If you want to gallop on the battlefield again, with a squadron of more than [-] kidnapper horses, the power cannot be compared with before. …………

The most important thing is that Xia Houyuan, a general under Cao Cao's command and a good younger brother of Cao Cao who had followed him for many years, was stabbed to death by Zhao Yun in the chaos. Li Lin rushed out and protected half of the catapults with the Chinese army. Cao Cao also had Opportunity to pursue, but when he heard that his brother was stabbed to death by Zhao Yun at the west gate of Xu Chu, although he was furious, he did not dare to act rashly, so he returned to the army slowly and entered Xu Chang, and Li Lin also did the same. The general Xia Houyuan killed him, but seeing that Cao Cao didn't send anyone to pursue him, he knew that Zhao Yun must have played a role in the rear, so he withdrew back to the camp with confidence.

After the First World War, neither side could fight anymore. Li Lin suffered nearly [-] casualties, and half of the trebuchets were destroyed. The elite kidnapper camp and the broken barracks all lost nearly half, while Cao Cao had more, but Comparing the two sides, Li Lin's force is still more than twice that of Cao's force, and Cao's army has the advantage of Xuchang City, so the two armies are in a stalemate under Xuchang City...

"My lord! Fortunately, the last general did not disgrace his life, and beheaded Cao Jun's lieutenant, Chen Yang, and general Xia Houyuan!" Of course, Zhao Yun led the Xiaoqi battalion back to the camp at the end. Hearing that his side had suffered a lot, he immediately went to Li Lin.

Li Lin and the others suffered some minor injuries and were simply bandaging their wounds. Upon hearing Zhao Yun's words, Li Lin sat up suddenly, "What, Xia Houyuan is dead!"

"Exactly, the last general will investigate on purpose, Xia Houyuan will definitely die!" Zhao Yun knelt on one knee and cupped his hands.

"Good! Good!" Li Lin shouted twice excitedly, Xia Houyuan, what a character, the battle has reached this point, the two sides are in short supply of generals and counselors, Xia Houyuan is the general of Cao Cao, who was beheaded with the rebellious army Among them, it's no wonder that Cao Cao didn't vomit blood. Li Lin immediately took two steps forward, helped Zhao Yun up and said, "Okay! Zilong, although our army was defeated for a while, but Zilong was able to kill Xiahouyuan, Cao Cao lost more than we did." It's going to be serious! Haha, Lai Zilong, sit down!" Li Lin helped Zhao Yun to the seat as he said that, it can be seen that there are dozens of generals under his command, and he is also his elder brother.

"Ah? Blood!" Li Lin saw that there was blood on his hand, and exclaimed, "Zilong! You are injured!"

"Well! Xia Houyuan is really a fierce general, and the last general will have to spend three points of effort to kill him!" Zhao Yun nodded, his face was a little pale, it can be seen that he thought he was worried about Li Lin's safety along the way, so he rode his horse quickly, He didn't care about his own wound at all, which caused the wound to bleed too much, but fortunately, it didn't hurt a vital point.

"Quick! Don't worry about me, bandage General Zhao's wound immediately!" Li Lin shouted, pulled over the military doctor who bandaged his wound, and then began to remove Zhao Yun's armor.

"My lord! This..." Zhao Yun looked at Li Lin in surprise, flattered.

"Hurry up, you are my pillar, don't let anything happen to you!" Li Lin murmured.

In the end, Zhao Yun accepted it gladly, and the generals on the side also cast envious glances, but everyone was just envious, everyone knew Zhao Yun's ability, he deserved this honor, what's wrong with everyone...

Besides, on Cao Cao's side, he led the army into the city from the west gate. Before reaching the city gate, he saw thousands of people sitting there blankly, their eyes blank. Cao Cao also got the news that Xia Houyuan was beheaded by Zhao Yun. In such a situation, with a pain in my heart, I immediately rode my horse and galloped over, passing through the sluggish soldiers, and came to the middle of the crowd. Xiahouyuan's general flag was still standing there, and a gust of wind blew by, and it was already tattered and unrecognizable. The general flag fluttered with the wind, and Xia Houyuan's body was lying quietly under the general flag...

"Miaocai! Miaocai!" Cao Cao snorted, jumped off his horse and supported Xiahouyuan's body. Xiahouyuan was closer to him than his own brother. How could Cao Cao not be heartbroken? "Li Yuanjie! I will not live with you!" He yelled at the sky, but even if his throat was broken, it was of no use. Xiahou Dun, who was behind, heard Cao Cao's big man, and galloped over on his horse. Before he could stand still, he jumped off the horse.

"Brother!" Xiahou Dun wailed, and threw himself in front of Xiahouyuan's body, touching Xiahouyuan's blood-donating face, but he didn't dare to stretch out his hand, "Ah..." He kept wailing, shaking Xiahouyuan's body , Xiahou Dun is crazy. If you say that Cao Cao and Xiahou Yuan are as close as brothers, then Xiahou Dun is really brothers with Xia Houyuan. His own brother died in the rebellion. What kind of mood is this, and how can I describe it... …

Xun You came on horseback, dismounted, and walked up to Cao Cao and Xiahou Dun, who were still suffering from back pain, and said in a low voice, "My lord, General Xiahou, I am sorry for the change. The battle between our army and the Youliao army has just passed, and the Youliao army is still in front of you. Our army must be reorganized and we are making plans. My lord and General Xiahou should not be sad here, but we must know that General Miaocai died because of Li Yuanjie. Only by defeating Li Yuanjie can we comfort the spirit of the dead soldier. !"

"Li Yuanjie! Li Yuanjie! Li Yuanjie!" Xia Houdun kept chanting Li Lin's name viciously, staring wide-eyed, very frightening.

Cao Cao patted Xia Houyuan, and said sharply, "Stop howling! Let's go! Take Miaocai home!" Cao Cao and Xiahou Dun personally carried Xiahouyuan's stretcher and walked slowly into the city. Cao soldiers around were all moved …………

Going home, this is such a fascinating word, and the home of Cao Cao and the other generals is in Xuchang, and returning to Xuchang means returning home, but what returned was a cold corpse...

Cao Cao returned to his General's Mansion again, sat in the front hall and on the main seat he was familiar with, stroking the familiar seat, remembering that in the past, he welcomed the emperor into Xuchang, followed by all the officials, and then he monopolized the power, the emperor It is just a decoration in my hands, how beautiful I am, but today, it is not what it used to be, the emperor died inexplicably in the middle of hunting outside, and the palace of the emperor I saw has been dilapidated, and the valuables have long been taken away by those soldiers, eunuchs, The palace maid stole it, but I couldn't track it down. There are very few people on my side among the officials of the big man. What can I do, kill them all?

He fought against Liu He and Li Yuanjie against Hebei, and he was defeated all the way back. Now he was beaten to the city of Xuchang by Li Lin. He had no choice but to lead the army to rescue him. It's my own home. I would rather die than give my home to others. If Li Yuanjie wants to get Xuchang, he has to step over my corpse!Cao Cao looked at the various decorations in the hall with deep eyes, feeling a lot of emotion in his heart...

Unknowingly, the sky gradually darkened. Cheng Yu, Xun You, Yu Jin, and Li Tong strolled in, bowed their hands together and said, "Master!"

"Hmm! Can the affairs in the city be properly arranged?" Cao Cao woke up from his contemplation when everyone shouted, and rubbed his aching forehead. Of course, he was most worried about the situation in the city, so he hurriedly asked.

"Don't worry, my lord, there is no change in the city. Those old ministers are all behind closed doors, watching the situation change!" Cheng Yu said slowly.

"Well! What is the current strength of our army?" Cao Cao asked.

Xun You said, "Including the defenders in the city, our army now has more than [-] troops, and Li Yuanjie explained that there are more than [-] troops. In comparison, although our army is small in number, we have the advantages of the capital and the city, so we will definitely be able to hold on!"

"Hmm! Then... Yuan Rang, is it alright?" Cao Cao hesitated for a moment before asking.

"This..." Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to say, and finally, Yu Jin said it out, "My lord, General Yuan Rang is still sitting next to General Miaocai's body, neither talking nor eating..."

"Hey..." Cao Cao sighed, "It's okay, Yuan Rang is like this, Miaocai's death is like cutting off Yuan Rang's arm, but don't worry, with Li Yuanjie around, Yuan Rang will definitely cheer up, there will be no What is it!"

Several people nodded, Cao Cao said, "Right now, Li Yuanjie will definitely rest for a whole day, and our army must seize this opportunity to consolidate the city. If Li Yuanjie wants to get Xuchang, he must step over my corpse!"

"Must die!" Several people shouted in unison.

"My lord! My lord, don't forget something!" Cheng Yu cupped his hands to Li Lin, and his eyes were extremely sinister.

"Oh? What's the matter?" Cao Cao looked at Cheng Yu suspiciously.

"Bonin..." Cheng Yu said quietly.

"Boning? Zhongde, as I said, this matter is not acceptable. Could it be that you disobeyed my will!" Cao Cao exclaimed.

Cheng Yu immediately knelt down on Xia Li, and said in a mournful voice, "My lord, it's not that I dare to disobey my lord's intention, but that now is a difficult time, when our army is alive and dead, so-and-so is willing to apologise with death!"

"My lord! Zhongkang is also thinking about the great cause of the lord, and I hope the lord will forgive Zhongkang!" Xun You immediately knelt down and begged.

On the side of Li Tong, Yu Jin looked at Cheng Yu and Xun You very strangely, what do these two mean?Could it be that he did something to offend the lord? At that time, it is impossible for the two of them to be upright and upright. After looking at the two kneeling, they glanced at Cao Cao, who was flushed with anger...
