Lu Bu’s Life Simulator

Chapter 267 Retreat

Gao Shun didn't know that Cao Xing had returned until he returned to Xinye, so he quickly summoned Cao Xing.

Cao Xing was actually a little confused, why did the Jingzhou and Jiangdong coalition forces withdraw out of nowhere? Doesn't make sense?

He was not stupid, and soon realized that Jiangdong's withdrawal might have something to do with the two people he had killed.

"Who did you kill?" Gao Shun was a little surprised when Cao Xing finished speaking.

According to the time, Jiangdong's retreat is likely to be related to the two people killed by Cao Xing.

"I don't know about the last general." Cao Xing shook his head, "I just saw that the leader's armor was bright, he looked quite majestic, and he happened to be right in front of me, so he shot him, but after seeing the other general Looking desperate, this person's status should not be low."

After Gao Shun thought for a moment, "You can tell me about the thief's clothes."

He had been fighting with Jiang Dong for so long, several of Jiang Dong's main generals had never actually met each other, but Gao Shun could probably tell the opponent from his armor and general height.

Cao Xing recalled after hearing the words: "The appearance is too far away, and I will not be able to see it clearly, but this person is wearing a hair crown, a red armor, and a black cloak on his shoulders. He should be about the same age as General Meng Qi."

Meng Qi...

Gao Shun recalled it carefully, and suddenly looked at Cao Xing, his eyes were a little weird, Cao Xing felt a little hairy.

"Does the general know who it is?" Cao Xing asked a little nervously.

"En." Gao Shun nodded: "Although we can't be completely sure, Qicheng is the leader of Jiangdong, Sun Ce. If he was shot, Jiangdong withdrew his troops so quickly, but it is not difficult to understand. This time, you did it immediately Great work!"

Cao Xing was also a little confused when he heard the words. He didn't expect that he would wipe out the largest one in Jiangdong in this random trip, which directly caused the enemy army on the southern line to collapse. : "It all depends on the cultivation of the general!"

Naturally, Gao Shun would not envy Cao Xing's achievements. After this battle, it was of great significance for Cao Xing to shoot and kill Sun Ce. Afterwards, the lord will definitely be promoted, but now that the siege on the southern front is lifted, the pressure on Nanyang will be much less.

Cao Xing said excitedly: "General, since this is the case, why don't we take advantage of the victory and pursue Jiang Xia together!"

Gao Shun frowned and looked at Cao Xing: "How about the battle against Yang?"

Gao Shun's words were like pouring a basin of cold water, which made Cao Xing, who was a little excited and unable to control himself, calm down a lot. Hearing Gao Shun's question, he secretly scolded himself for being stupid. Tell Gao Shun what happened in Nanyang during this period.

After Gao Shun listened, he looked at Cao Xing speechlessly.

Cao Xing was a little ashamed, and bowed to Gao Shun: "The last general is greedy for merit, please punish him."

Gao Shun frowned and got up and said: "Unexpectedly, so many things happened in Nanyang during this period of time. I passed on my military order to leave 3,000 soldiers and horses to garrison Xinye. The rest of the soldiers immediately assembled and rushed to Duyang with me!"

The imperial court's strategy of releasing Nanyang to make the three princes tear up each other's grievances is obviously impossible to implement now, and only Cao Cao's family is left, and the next thing is to fight.

The loss of Duyang means that Cao Cao has opened up the last step of attacking Nanyang. Now, as long as Cao Jun has enough soldiers and horses, he can plunder Wancheng to the west, and Wuyin, Biyang, Yuyang, and Jiyang to the south.

After Ma Chao lost the initiative and was calculated by others, he was able to hold on for a month, allowing Nanyang to wait for changes and support. Ma Chao contributed a lot to this, but it was Lu Lingqi who brought about the change.

I haven't seen this girl for many years. Although it was a coincidence, I don't know what she looks like now, and her incompetent son is also here. This group of people came to Nanyang, probably because of her influence, hum!

"General, the last general..." Cao Xing looked at Gao Shun. At this time, he wanted to go to block Yang with Gao Shun, but on Xinye's side, not to mention Jiangdong, the Jingzhou army may make a comeback at any time. The significance of dispatching three thousand soldiers and horses lies, but no one in the army seems to be more suitable to stay in Xinye than himself, so Cao Xing is a little entangled.

"Remember, before the battle report here comes out, no matter how easy it is to fight, don't leave the city lightly. Before I beat Cao Jun, if Xinye is not lost, it will be considered a complete success!" Gao Shun looked at Cao Xing for a long time before sinking soundtrack.

"Here!" Cao Xing naturally knew that the Xinye matter was of great importance, so he nodded and agreed immediately.

"I will keep the crossbows with you. There are enough crossbows in the treasury for 3,000 people and 30 boxes each. If it's just for defending the city, it should be enough!" Gao Shun looked at Cao Xing and continued to ask.

Although the Liannu has been made long ago, the manufacturing speed is not fast. In these years, Lu Bu has made a total of 20,000, and there are 5,000 in Nanyang, of which 1,000 are in the camp, and 1,000 are in Wancheng. The remaining 3,000 are in Gao Shun's place.

So this Liannu is not enough for all armies to equip it.

"The general should bring some with him." Cao Xing was shocked, he kept all three thousand crossbows for himself, although Gao Shun would not be able to fight without saying, but it is definitely not as good as holding a crossbow.

"There is still a crisis in Xinye, I can't leave you with too many troops, I can only leave the Liannu with you, so as to defend the city, Xinye cannot afford to lose!" Gao Shun said in a deep voice.

Xinye is now the junction of the Sun family, Liu Biao and Nanyang. It is the gateway to Nanyang and also a strategically important place that cannot be missed.

"Here!" Cao Xing knew that he had lost his composure before, which made Gao Shun a little disappointed in himself, and he didn't dare to be arrogant and greedy for merit, so he bowed solemnly to Gao Shun.

After explaining the new things, Gao Shun immediately led his army to the direction of Duyang.

As for Duyang, Cao Cao just captured Duyang, but let Ma Chao run away, which is fine, but on the third day after Ma Chao left, just as Cao Cao was about to drive straight in and capture Nanyang, Wei Yan, who was stationed in Biyang, came .

Wei Yan doesn't have Liannu soldiers here, but there are many others.

Eight thousand soldiers came overnight, but they didn't attack Cao Jun directly, but seized Juan County when Cao Jun was about to send troops, and took Ye Cheng down.

Before Cao Cao dared to go in to attack and block Yang, it was because he had enough troops to besiege Juan County. Even though Juan County was still in Ma Chao's hands, Cao Cao's food road was cleared.

But it is different now, almost all of Cao Cao's forces have gathered in Duyang. At this time, Wei Yan suddenly broke out and took Juan County and Ye County together, which was equivalent to directly cutting off Cao Cao's retreat.

And Wei Yan was even more ruthless. The first thing he did after entering the city was to burn food, so that the defeated Cao Jun could see with his own eyes that he had burned all of Cao Cao's food and grass, and then brought the news back.

This move cost Cao Cao's life. If Wei Yan just occupied the city, that's all. Just take the city back. Now Wei Yan not only attacked the city, but also burned all the food and grass he hoarded in Juan County and Ye County. , and also generously released the soldiers back. This kid is not old, and his mind is really broken!

Wei Yan's knife hit Cao Cao seven inches in the middle. Although Duyang also had a lot of food in store, it was like a weed without roots. Let alone ordinary soldiers, Cao Cao was a little panicked. Naturally, it was time to go back and fight Wei Yan.

But what's worse is that Wancheng has sent troops here.

Enemy from belly to back!

Duyang, Cao Cao's temporary camp, looking at the map, Cao Cao sighed.

It can't be said that he didn't take the rear into consideration. Cao Cao had enough troops in Duyang and Ye County to maintain the food road, and it wasn't Wei Yan who was defending, but Yuan Shu.

But who knew that Yuan Shu didn't come, but Wei Yan did.

"Who is Wei Yan?" Cao Cao couldn't understand why there were so many ruthless people under Lu Bu's command?

This is only Nanyang, not Lu Bu's base camp yet, but Ma Chao made him suffer a lot first, and then Wei Yan, who made a direct remembrance of himself. Nah.

Cheng Yu shook his head. Ma Chao still has some roots to be investigated. After all, he fought against Lu Bu and was subdued. His father Ma Teng was one of the former princes, but although Wei Yan was valued by Gao Shun and Ma Chao in Nanyang, But after all, they have been following Ma Chao all the time, and people only noticed Ma Chao, but ignored Wei Yan, who was no less capable than Ma Chao.

Cheng Yu felt that after returning this time, he should have a better understanding of the armies under Lu Bu's command.

At this point in the battle, even if the two armies are eliminated, it is impossible for Cao Cao to enter Nanyang again. He did not gain much from this battle, but he lost more than half of the troops he brought. Even his most valued tiger and leopard cavalry All were badly injured.

This battle has been fought so far, and it's meaningless to continue fighting, but it's somewhat unreasonable to come so aggressively and leave in disgrace.

"Everyone, do you have any ideas on how to break the situation?" Cao Cao looked at the crowd and asked.

He wanted to go, but didn't want to bring it up himself.

It's a pity that everyone under the tent was fighting, but they couldn't figure out these thoughts. Cao Cao could only look at Cheng Yu.

Cheng Yu said knowingly: "Now more than half of our army's troops and horses have been lost, and the morale of the army is low. However, the Nanyang defenders are far stronger than our army imagined. Yu thought that at this time..."

When Cheng Yu was thinking about how to find a good excuse for Cao Cao to leave Nanyang, he saw a person hurried in and saluted Cao Cao, "Master!"

"What happened?" Cao Cao frowned and looked at the visitor.

"Yuzhou urgent report!" The soldier bowed and offered a roll of bamboo paper.

"Yuzhou?" Cao Cao hastily took the bamboo slips and opened them up, his expression changed immediately.

"My lord, what happened?" Cheng Yu hurriedly asked when he saw Cao Cao's complexion changed drastically and his heart sank.

"Yuan Shu not long ago ordered General Ji Ling to lead the army to station in Qiao County!" Cao Cao said solemnly as he handed the bamboo slips to Cheng Yu.

"Qiao County?" Cheng Yu's expression changed. Qiao County was already considered Cao Cao's territory. If Yuan Shu came out of Ruyin, if he wanted to fight Nanyang, he should not go to Qiao County anyway.

Cheng Yu looked at Cao Cao: "My lord, we have to withdraw our troops this time!"

The most worrying thing still happened. The princes who were not monolithic in the first place started to have internal problems after all, but they didn’t expect that Yuan Shu would be the first to have problems. From a standpoint, he should be the last one to be rebelled by Lu Bu the one!

Cao Cao nodded silently, looked at the generals and said: "Pass on my military order, don't bother with Wei Yan anymore, withdraw the troops immediately, and leave Nanyang territory!"

"Here!"
