Chapter 293
Palace.
Cao Cao was staring at the map, his brow furrowed.
Ma Chao's military power has been cut, but the 300,000 Han troops outside the city are still there.
Liu Bei's attack on Jicheng can be launched at any time.
Cao Cao seems to have been able to imagine the terrifying picture of countless Xiangyang cannons launching a bombardment on Jicheng.
"Jicheng, it's not easy to guard. "
Cao Cao muttered a soft sigh, and the confidence between his eyebrows gradually lost.
"Father, otherwise let's abandon Jicheng and retreat in the direction of Wuwei. "
In this way, Liu Bei's grain road can be lengthened until he runs out of food and retreats. "
"Or maybe Wuwei is remote, Liu Bei doesn't bother to continue to pursue us at all, and retreats without a fight. "
Cao Pi said cautiously.
"Confused!"
Cao Cao glared at him, "The population of Liangzhou is concentrated in the counties of Longxi, if we abandon Longxi and retreat to Liangbei, then we will completely lose the source of Liangzhou troops, and what will we do to make a comeback at that time?"
Cao Pi was scolded and looked embarrassed.
"Zihuan Gongzi is short-sighted. "
"Then Liu Bei made it clear that he would not kill us all, and he would never give up and withdraw his troops. "
"Childe thinks that if we abandon Longxi and retreat to Wuwei, Liu Bei will know the difficulties and retreat?"
"Childe thinks easily, with Liu Bei's current national strength, he can definitely support his army to continue to pursue until the generals are completely wiped out!"
Guo Jia also taught Cao Pi a lesson.
Cao Cao is just that, after all, it is Lao Tzu who educates his son, and patience is over.
Guo Jia, what kind of thing are you, as a courtier, you dare to teach this son a lesson in such a tone?
Cao Pi was annoyed in his heart, and secretly glared at Guo Jia, and an imperceptible ruthlessness flashed in his eyes.
"Although Longxi is important, Zihuan Gongzi's concerns are not unreasonable. "
"With 50,000 against 300,000, it is indeed not easy for us to hold Jicheng and force Liu Bei back. "
Sima Yi said a few fair words for Cao Pi.
Cao Pi's grateful gaze glanced at Sima Yi, and his mood improved slightly.
"It's not easy, but you have to keep it!"
"This king will never retreat again, and swear to live and die with Jicheng!"
"I want to see what the big-eared thief has to break my city!"
Cao Cao snorted coldly, and his face burned with pride.
"Father is right, we retreat again and again, when will we get bigger!"
"My son is willing to fight to the death for his father and fight to the death with that big-eared thief!"
Cao Zhang exclaimed impassionedly.
"It's worthy of my yellow beard, so bold, this is my Cao Cao's son!"
Cao Cao patted Cao Zhang's shoulder, with a look of satisfaction and appreciation on his face.
Cao Pi saw it in his eyes, glanced at Cao Zhang, and a little jealousy quietly burned in his eyes.
Cao Cao suddenly turned around and waved his hand proudly: "Spread the edict, each soldier will be rewarded with a hundred yuan to encourage them to fight to the death for my Great Qin!"
The voice did not fall.
The guards hurried in, half-kneeling on the ground, and brought a shocking news:
Ma Chao broke into the cavalry camp, killed Cao Chun, and mutinied to seize power!
At this moment, he has led 1,500 iron horsemen and went straight to the south gate!
Cao Cao's brain buzzed, and his pride instantly turned off, and his figure staggered against the map.
Guo Jia, Sima Yi, Cao Pi and everyone else were shocked and discolored.
"Ma Chao, this dog thief, he dares to kill my son!"
"Quickly send troops to catch the dog thief back, this king will break his body into ten thousand pieces~~"
Cao Cao, who was relieved, screamed with grief and anger at the bottom of the rest.
At this time, he didn't realize the seriousness of the stern state, and he was simply immersed in the grief and indignation of his brother being killed by Ma Chao.
Sima Yi's face changed in shock, and he said hurriedly: "It's not good, Ma Chao has seized control of the cavalry, he must want to take the south gate and let Liu Bei's army enter the city!"
As soon as these words came out, the ministers were shocked.
"Zhongda has a point!"
Ma Chao must have been dissatisfied with being cut into the army, and secretly took refuge in Liu Bei. (If you read a violent novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
He and Liu Bei must have made an appointment, and today they mutiny to seize power, capture the south gate and let Liu Bei enter the city. "
"King, if Liu Bei is allowed to attack the south gate, the big thing will be closed~~"
Guo Jia's voice was hoarse and trembling.
Cao Cao shuddered, and all his anger and sorrow were dispersed by Guo Jia's words.
"Order, quickly mobilize troops and horses, and go to the south gate to besiege and kill Ma Chao!"
"No, the king will go in person!"
Cao Cao shouted excitedly, immediately put on armor and held his sword, and stumbled outside the palace.
Turned over and rode straight to the south gate.
Along the way, there were soldiers who had received the edict and rushed to converge.
When Cao Cao rushed to the main street of the South Gate, there were nearly eight famous soldiers behind him.
Looking up, Cao Cao gasped, and the whole person froze on his horse.
On the tower of the South Gate, the "Han" flag has been raised!
This indicates that Ma Chao's mutiny has been successful, and the south gate has changed hands.
"Impossible!"
"The south gate is guarded by Li Dian, so it won't be so vulnerable!"
"'~Father, let's hurry up, it's still too late!"
Cao Zhang shouted eagerly.
Cao Cao settled down, cheered up, and wanted to continue to urge the horse forward.
At this moment, a group of routs in front of him rushed in.
Cao Zhang stopped a few people and asked, "What's the situation at the South Gate?"
"Return to the king, return to the son. "
"Ma Chao mutinied and raided the south gate, and General Li has been killed by him!"
"The Han army has been welcomed into the city by him, and it has entered Jicheng!"
The rout, kneeling on the ground, cried out.
In a flash.
Cao Cao only felt an invisible hammer hit him the heart.
A stream of old blood broke through his throat, and he couldn't suppress it anymore, so he opened his mouth and spurted out wildly.
"King!"
"Father!"
Guo Jia and Cao Zhang hurriedly stepped forward to help.
"Heaven will kill me, God will die to me—"
Cao Cao sprayed blood wildly, looking up to the sky and screaming sadly.
Then his eyes were black, and he fainted and lay on his horse.
Cao Zhang and the others were shocked.
The soldiers on the left and right of the Qin army were all frightened and frightened, and they were all pregnant.
At this time, the sound of iron horses rolled.
I saw that in the head-on direction, countless Han horsemen were surging like a tide, and the Qin soldiers and soldiers were disintegrating and scattered.
"Bonghyo, what should we do?"
Cao Zhang had no idea, so he could only yell at Guo Jia.
Guo Jia sighed and said: "The general trend has gone, Ziwen Gongzi, quickly escape from the West Gate and retreat to Liangbei!"
Cao Zhang didn't have time to think about it, so he could only drink and order the guards, hugging the unconscious Cao Cao and turning around and fleeing.
But the Han army behind him was like lightning, and the cavalry had rushed forty paces away in a blink of an eye.
At such a close distance, I was afraid that he would be caught up by the Han army in the blink of an eye, and Cao Cao could not evacuate in time.
Cao Zhangyi gritted his teeth and said sharply: "Fengxiao, you protect your father and go first, and I will break the back and block the Han army!"
