Chapter 163
Two days later, at nightfall.
Cheng Yu, Guo Jia, Cao Hong and other military generals wandered at the camp gate, looking out from time to time.
The surprise attack led by Cao Cao himself has been two days away from the Guandu camp.
If it goes well, he should have touched the black nest at this time and burned Yuan Shao's millions of grains and grass.
Success or failure is a foregone conclusion!
"Guo Saijiu, what do you say is Sikong's chance of success?"
Cao Hong couldn't help but ask.
"Whether this battle can be successful or not depends on luck. "
"Sikong was attacked by Lu Bu to take Yanzhou back then, and he was almost forced into a desperate situation, and he was able to turn the tables in the end. "
It can be seen that Sikong is the destiny of heaven. "
"So I think, this time, Sikong will succeed!"
Guo Jia's eyes were determined, and there was a certain conviction burning between his eyebrows.
Cao Hong became excited, rubbed his fists and said: "Feng Xiao is right, Meng De's destiny is winning, and this battle will be won!"
The ministers of Cao Ying were in high spirits, as if they had been beaten by Guo Jia's words.
That's when it happened.
Yu Ban pointed to the outside of the camp: "Look, there are soldiers and horses coming, it's Sikong returning!"
Everyone was in Zen and looked at it carefully by the light of the fire.
Sure enough, in the night, a group of soldiers and horses was hurrying over, and it was indeed the 5,000 surprise attack army.
"Quick, open the camp gates and let them into the city!"
Cao Hong shouted.
The camp gate opened, and the people rushed in, all in shock.
There were 5,000 men and horses when they went, but there were only about 3,000 people in Calais, and they were all dressed in red and painted, and they lost their armor.
This is like returning victorious, and it is clearly a big defeat!
Guo Jia and the others looked at each other, and their hearts were all chuckled, and an ominous premonition hit their hearts.
"Quick, pass on to the doctor!"
"The lord has been wounded by an arrow!"
Le Jin screamed and rushed into the camp gate with Cao Cao in his arms.
I saw Cao Cao on his shoulder, and there was a sharp arrow inserted in it.
Everyone changed color in shock, hurriedly helped Cao Cao up, and rushed to the big tent in a huddle.
The medical officer was summoned for treatment.
Cao Hong and the others surrounded Le Jin and asked what was going on.
"We bypassed the camp of the Yuan army and went all the way to the black nest, and the first twenty miles were quite smooth, and we did not encounter the sentry of the Yuan army. "
"Unexpectedly, as soon as we walked a few miles, we bumped into the Yuan Jun checkpoint, and our whereabouts were revealed. "
Sikong knew that something was wrong, so he ordered the whole army to withdraw to the camp, and it didn't take long to meet the cavalry of Yuan's army who came to intercept it. "
"Our army responded to the battle in a hurry, killing and wounding more than 2,000 soldiers, before breaking through the interception of Yuan's army and retreating to the camp in a hurry~. "
"It was only during the retreat that Sikong was unfortunately hit by a cold arrow that he became like this. "
Le Jin hung his head and told the whole story of the defeat.
The atmosphere in the tent gradually fell silent.
Cao Hong looked at Cheng Yu, and Cheng Yu looked at Guo Jia.
Guo Jia could only shake his head and sigh, and said gloomily: "It seems that this time, God does not bless Sikong, and the Mandate of Heaven is not on Sikong's side..."
Everyone sighed, and the breath of despair enveloped everyone's hearts.
Half an hour later, the medical officer came out and said that Cao Cao's arrow wound was not in serious danger.
Only then did everyone breathe a sigh of relief and hurriedly looked at the inner tent.
Cao Cao's face was pale, his eyes were complicated, and he didn't know what to say for a while in the face of all the strategists and generals.
After a slight pause, Cao Cao suddenly burst out laughing.
Cao Hong and the others were all stunned.
The sneak attack on the black nest failed, and thousands of soldiers were broken, and it seems that the defeat cannot be reversed!
Why are we still smiling?
Could it be that this arrow didn't hurt your life, but it hurt your brain?
Laughter converged.
Cao Cao said disapprerovingly: "Victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, isn't it just that I lost for a while, and I didn't die, so why should you be so depressed!"
This calmness slightly inspired the spirit of the generals.
"Sikong, victory and defeat are of course a common thing in soldiers. "
"But the road of sneaking up on Wuchao won't work, and in this battle of Guandu, we're afraid we don't have a chance to turn things around. "
"Jia thought it was time to prepare for the worst. "
Guo Jia looked stunned and reminded Cao Cao.
The smile on Cao Cao's face disappeared, and he couldn't help but fall silent.
Cao Hong and the others looked dazed, unable to hear the meaning of Guo Jia's words.
Cao Cao pondered for a long time, sighed, and waved his hand helplessly:
"Quickly send an order to Xiahou Yuanrang and Xun Wenruo to secretly move the Son of Heaven to Chang'an as quickly as possible. "
Move the capital!(Read the violent novel, go to the Feilu Novel Network!)
Cao Hong and the others looked shocked, and finally came to their senses.
This is the retreat route planned in advance by Cao Cao, Guo Jia, Xun Yu and other confidants.
Do your best to fight the battle of Guandu.
If the war is unfavorable, the Son of Heaven must not be surrendered to Yuan Shao, but moved to Chang'an, Xijing, closed Tongguan, and relied on the danger of Guanzhong to fight with Yuan Shao again.
"Sikong, if we move the Son of Heaven to Guanzhong, Yanzhou, Yuzhou and other Henan prefectures, won't we all have to give it to Yuan Shao?"
"These states are our foundation. "
Cao Hong looked sad and indignant, and naturally he couldn't bear to leave the Cao family's basic plate.
Cao Cao sighed silently.
"If Guandu is defeated, Xu Du will definitely not be guaranteed!"
"Even if we don't let it, it will be difficult for the Yanyu states to hold it. "
"The land that must be lost, why be greedy anymore, it is better to abandon it early, you can still preserve your strength and retreat to the pass!"
"Back then, Han Gaozu relied on Guanzhong to achieve the imperial cause, and with his talents, he may not be able to rely on the land of Guanlong to make a comeback and fight with Yuan Shao!"
Guo Jia analyzed the pros and cons and pointed out a new path for Cao Cao.
Cao Hong was speechless.
"Feng Xiao's words are reasonable, these altars and jars, since they can't be kept, they will be lost!"
Cao Cao waved his hand domineeringly, and said resolutely:
"I have made up my mind, coerce the Son of Heaven to move the capital to Chang'an, and fight again with Yuan Shao!"
"You don't need to say more, just prepare quickly!"
Cao Hong and other generals did not dare to question it anymore, so they had to take the order and retire silently.
Everyone retreated, Cao Cao was like a deflated ball, and the domineering on his face withered in a blink of an eye.
"Liu Bei, Xiao Yuan!"
"You ignore the overall situation of your lips and teeth, and sit back and watch me be broken by Yuan Shao. "
"Now I'll retreat to Guanzhong and close the door to see how Yuan Shao cleans you up!"
...
In the winter of that year, Xiahoudun escorted the Son of Heaven, as well as hundreds of civil and military officials, and moved from Wuguan to Chang'an.
Half a month later, Cao Cao abandoned Guandu and led the whole army to retreat to Guanzhong.
Yuan Shao's army set foot on Guandu, went all the way south, and attacked Xudu without blood.
When the news spread, Yanzhou, Yuzhou, and the counties of Sili all offered their surrender to Yuan Shao.
...
Ying Tian Cheng, the state capital.
"'Cao Cao's sneak attack on the black nest failed, and he was hit by an arrow!'"
"Strategist, everything is really under your control!"
Liu Bei looked at the latest battle report of the Battle of Guandu and looked at Xiao Yuan with admiration.
Xiao Yuan sneered: "After our Cao Sikong battle, he should already be poor in donkey skills, if my expectations are good, he will soon give up Xu Du and hold the Son of Heaven hostage to move the capital to Chang'an." "
"If this is the case, then won't the Yanyu Prefectures give it to Yuan Shao!"
"Is Cao Cao really willing to do it? You know, Yanzhou is Cao Cao's starting place!"
Pang Tong was skeptical.
"What kind of person is Cao Cao, how can he be trapped by those altars and jars. "
"Don't say that it is the place where he started, even if his ancestral grave may be dug by Yuan Shao, he will definitely give it up and have no nostalgia!"
Xiao Yuan didn't think so.
Liu Bei nodded and said: "The commander of the Soviet Army is reasonable, with Cao Mengde's eloquence, he definitely has the courage of a strong man to break his wrist." "
The voice did not fall.
Chen Zhi hurriedly entered and personally delivered an urgent report.
"Lord Qiqi, Yingchuan is eight hundred miles urgent!"
Cao Cao has abandoned Guandu and fled to Guanzhong with his whole division. "
"The Son of Heaven and the civil and military officials have been secretly moved to Chang'an by him first. "
"Yuan Shao is bloodless and has invaded Xudu!"
In the mansion, there was an uproar.
Pang Tong looked impressed, and bowed his hand to Xiao Yuan: "Xiao Junshi really has insight into Cao Cao, and this kind of insight into people's hearts is beyond the reach of the dust!"
Liu Bei smiled with emotion: "If it is really like the military division's deduction, Cao Cao has no Xu You, and he lost the battle of Guandu after all!"
Pang Tong and the others were at a loss, they all couldn't understand, Cao Cao lost the battle of Guandu, what did he have to do with Xu You?
"Cao Cao has been defeated, it's time for the lord to appear. "
Xiao Yuan's face ignited with pride, and he raised his hand and pointed north:
"Please rush to Xiangyang immediately, lead my troops from the three states, wave the Northern Expedition, take Xudu directly, and give Yuan Shao a head-on blow!"
