Chapter 4 Zhang Xiu's defeat
Cao Cao led hundreds of remaining soldiers to the city gate, and some unethical one shot another rain of arrows.
The damage caused this time was fully sustained by Cao Cao. Not only did most of the soldiers behind him died, but even Cao Cao himself was shot in the arm.
What's even more annoying is that three arrows shot into the horse's buttocks forever. Mingjia Jueying let out a thunderous howl and fell into bed on the spot. Cao Cao was thrown out more than three feet away.
Cao Ang's face changed and he muttered, "I didn't expect that Jueying was still dead after all the calculations."
What's even more speechless is that in the original work, Cao Cao escaped in a hurry and didn't care about Mrs. Zou at all.
But now, Cao Cao took advantage of the time Cao Ang has won to bring Mrs. Zou with him.
Has he worked for Mrs. Zou for a long time?
Cao Ang closed his eyes and pretended to faint, without giving up his mount to Cao Cao to show his filial piety.
After being helped up by the soldiers, Cao Cao looked at Jueying with distress, and with the help of the soldiers, he got on Mrs. Zou's horse, rode with her, and continued to advance towards the city gate.
Hu San also rushed out of the gate and soon rushed to Cao Cao and said, "Lord, please leave, General Yu Jin is waiting outside the city."
Cao Cao nodded, rushed out of the city gate with Cao Ang, and headed straight for Cao's army camp.
Not long after, Dian Wei and Hu San rushed out with thousands of remaining soldiers.
Outside the city, Cao's army camp was also shouting at the horse's neighing, and the sound of killing was shocking the sky.
Zhang Xiu's general Lei Xu led an army of 30,000 to raid at night. Yu Jin received a reminder from Cao Ang to prepare in advance. When Cao Cao and his men arrived, they surrounded Lei Xu.
The appearance of Cao Cao and others quickly attracted the attention of Cao's army. A group of people rushed out of the gate and headed straight for them. The leader was eight feet tall and had a majestic face. It was Xu Chu.
Xu Chu jumped off his horse and rushed to Cao Cao and said, "Lord, you have finally come out. If you don't come out, you must slaughter Wancheng. Are you injured, lord?"
After saying that, he found that an arrow was inserted into Cao Cao's arm, and the arrow was already blood red.
"Small injury, nothing wrong!"
Cao Cao asked, "What's the situation in the camp?"
Xu Chu explained: "Fortunately, the eldest son informed him in advance that Lei Xu has been surrounded by General Yu Jin and cannot make a big wave."
To be honest, since Chenliu's rebellion, Cao Cao has never encountered a more thrilling situation than today.
It's really a lingering line, and I'm almost blocked in the city and can't get out.
After a little shocked, he finally took the opportunity to ask Cao Ang, "Zi Xiu, how did you know about Zhang Xiu's rebellion?"
Cao Ang was shot through his shoulder blades, and his clothes were stained with blood. He was already on the verge of coma.
Isn't it time to send a doctor first?
He slandered and said weakly: "Tonight, my right eyelid was always pounding, and I felt very uneasy, so I made some preparations in advance, but I didn't expect..." When he said this, Cao Ang was powerless to continue, and his head tilted and fainted.
Cao Cao then reacted and said quickly: "Look for a military doctor."
Xu Chu quickly invited them into the camp, and the group rushed to put Cao Ang on the couch.
The military doctor took off his armor with difficulty, cut off the clothes around the arrow with scissors, and then sloppyly applied some medicine, grabbed the arrow shaft and pulled it out.
It pulled too hard, bringing out a piece of flesh and blood. Cao Ang, who was already unconscious, instantly opened his eyes and let out a scream like a pig slaughtering.
Then he stared at the military doctor and scolded: "Are you murdering?"
The military doctor was startled by his scream and said timidly: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
This military doctor is also a second knife. After pulling out the arrow, he casually put some golden sore medicine on it and then took gauze to bandage it.
When Cao Ang looked, the gauze was covered with dirt, so dark that it could no longer see the original color.
He quickly scolded, "You just bandaged this thing, have you disinfected it?"
The military doctor was stunned and asked, "What is disinfection?"
Cao Ang was in shock in pain, and he was not in the mood to popularize basic medical knowledge for him. He directly ordered: "Go and find a piece of clean gauze, boil it in boiling water and then bandage it."
The military doctor couldn't argue and had to do it.
He took the stove and kettle, boiled the gauze in boiling water before bandaging it.
Afterwards, Cao Ang fell asleep in a daze.
The war outside the camp continues.
Originally, Yu Jin had surrounded Lei Xu and was about to be wiped out completely, Zhang Xiu's main force arrived.
After Cao Cao left the city, Dian Wei and Hu San quickly met. The two of them had no worries and did not fall in love with each other and soon followed Cao Cao out of the city.
Dian Wei was also a brainless person. He didn't run away in such a spacious place outside the city, but he insisted on running towards the military camp. Is it obvious that he was leading the wolf into the house? Zhang Xiu led the main force to chase him, and soon chased him to the Cao army camp.
When the enemy met, they were particularly jealous, and a war inevitably broke out.
The battle lasted from night until noon the next day. Hu Cheer and Lei Xu were captured, Diao Linxiang was beheaded by Dian Wei, Zhang Xiu and Jia Xu led thousands of remaining soldiers to flee south to Jingzhou.
In the central army's tent, Cao Cao sat high in the first place, Dian Wei, Xu Chu, Yu Jin, Li Dian, and Le Jin were placed on both sides, Hu Cheer and Lei Xu were tied up in various ways, and were escorted by two soldiers and knelt in the middle of the tent.
Cao Cao stared at Hu Cheer for a long time before asking, "Cao thought he was waiting for you, why did you want to rebel?"
Hu Cheer just accepted Cao Cao's gold yesterday, but he turned around after a day. To be honest, this thing was too inauthentic.
Facing Cao Cao again, Hu Cheer was ashamed and afraid, and could not say a word.
However, Lei Xu was still a bit bloody and said with his neck in his arms: "The winner is the king and the loser is the enemy. If you want to kill or cut, you will be punished."
"You're looking for death."
Xu Chu was the first to stand out and wanted to teach him a lesson.
"Let's wait!"
Cao Cao stopped Xu Chu and sneered: "Now Zhang Xiu has escaped, I wonder what are your plans?"
Hu Cheer didn't even think about it and said, "I was bewitched by Zhang Xiu and Jia Xu and made a big mistake, and I am willing to be dealt with by the Prime Minister."
Obviously, he admitted defeat! Lei Xu was furious and turned his head and cursed: "Hu Cheer, you traitor."
Cao Cao stood up, walked up to loosen Hu Cheer's ties, and helped him up and said, "The general was just ordered to act in the battle last night. How could he blame him? Now that Zhang Xiu has escaped, General Hu is willing to be a lieutenant under Cao's tent?"
Hu Cheer was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "Hu Cheer is begging to the lord."
Cao Cao helped him up again, looked at Lei Xu and said, "Can General Lei surrender?"
A violent struggle flashed across Lei Xu's face, and in the end, the instinct of survival took the lead. He sighed and knelt down and said, "Lei Xu greeted the lord."
When the two surrendered, the rest was much simpler.
While Cao Cao ordered Yu Jin to clean the battlefield and count the casualties, he ordered Li Dian to enter Wancheng and accept the city. He rushed to Cao Ang's tent and saw his son go.
Conspiracy is a double-edged sword. Once it is discovered, it is only yourself who is injured.
Because of Cao Ang's appearance, Jia Xu's conspiracy failed. Not only did Cao Cao not lose the battle, he fled back to Xudu in a panic, but instead forced Zhang Xiu to flee in panic.
The history of the Three Kingdoms has gone from here to a fork in the road and goes to a distant place where no one knows it.
