Chapter 3440 Hu Bu Wannian

Chapter 3439 Hu Bu Wan Nian

Qian Zhao looked back at the battlefield.

The opponent had recovered from the attack and his morale had also increased. On the other hand, his side, which was clearly the attacking side, was beaten into several sections by the opponent.

In addition to the small number of cavalry led by Qian Zhao, some Cao army soldiers had been surrounded by the cavalry and were being fiercely besieged by the opponent. Failure was not far away...

In a trance, Qian Zhao seemed to see that when he faced the Xianbei Wuhuan who went south, he seemed to flee in panic.

However, most of his current opponents were those who stayed back then and were still in the north.

Qian Zhao suddenly saw Li Li.

Li Li was pointing in the direction of Qian Zhao and seemed to be shouting something.

The cavalry on the left and right of Li Li also shouted in unison, passing the sound of killing over, which seemed magnificent.

『Woo...』

Suddenly, both sides immersed in the bloody battle on the battlefield were attracted by a long and low horn sound, and then the drums roared again. At this moment, everyone turned their heads to look at the mountain of Suoyang Pass where the sound came from.

On Suoyang Pass, the flag representing Cao's army fell down, and it was replaced by the tricolor flag representing the Hussar Army!

The tricolor flag flying high seemed to emit colorful brilliance under the sunshine!

For a moment, all the Hussars on the mountain and below cheered together!

That was the symbol of the Hussar Army, and that was the glory of Guanzhong in the north!

It represented the majesty of the Han Dynasty and the myth of invincibility!

Almost at the same time, the necks of the Cao army soldiers lowered.

Qian Zhao's heart, at this moment, seemed to be immersed in ice water.

Did Cao Hong fail?

Captured?

Killed?

But whether Cao Hong was captured or killed, it meant the same thing.

Qian Zhao's rescue mission failed.

Now that his mission failed, there was only one way to break through.

Qian Zhao turned around and prepared to order his men to retreat, but he did not call out because he saw that the soldiers he brought with him had already begun to retreat voluntarily...

Qian Zhao's troops were in chaos.

Some were still following Qian Zhao, while others had already begun to flee. Although the Cao army soldiers were still the same people, and their bodies looked unchanged, Qian Zhao could feel that there was no soul inside their bodies.

The cavalry on Suoyang Pass also began to walk down the mountain, and there were cheers all over the mountains.

The trap that Qian Zhao had sent people to ambush in advance now looked like a joke, and his coming to rescue Cao Hong seemed like a dream.

All his preparations, traps, and all his efforts, in the end, fell through.

He had strength but did not know where to use it, and he had tools but did not know where to use them.

The day has dawned, and it is time to wake up from the dream.

Qian Zhao felt deeply exhausted, as if he had made thousands of efforts, practiced tens of thousands of times, and sweated for countless years, and finally thought that he was standing on the same starting line with some people, but then he found that he was standing the wrong way. What he thought was the starting line was actually his finish line.

"General!" The soldier behind Qian Zhao shouted, "Where are we going now?"

"Where to go..." Qian Zhao smiled bitterly, "Retreat..."

Where else could he go?

The wilderness was vast, the sky was vast, but it seemed that there was no place for him to stay.

...

...

Cao's army camp in Zhongtiao Mountain.

Lü Chang was preparing to attack with his men.

The gathering of Cao's army was obviously much slower than before.

"Don't worry, the cavalry army is just like this. ."

According to convention, Lü Chang still had to appease his men and encourage his several military schools.

"The front cavalry army has been tricked and transferred to Suoyang Pass by General Cao. At this moment, the camp of the front cavalry army is empty! It's a great opportunity for you and me! '

'You have worked hard today! Tomorrow is the time to celebrate! '

'Even if our army withdraws at that time, you will still have merits on your body, and there will be a big reward after the battle! '

In the Cao army camp, Lv Chang said this to his men.

The military schools of the Cao army echoed one after another, showing harmony.

Lv Chang smiled and said a few more words, then put on the helmet, and appeared majestically in the center of the front.

However, Lv Chang's smile disappeared quickly.

It was not because he received the news of Cao Hong's defeat. After all, Suoyang Pass was still some distance away from the Zhongtiao Mountain camp, and at the foot of Suoyang Pass, Qian Zhao and Li Li were also fighting. There were no Cao army soldiers who could bravely break through the battlefield to report the news, so Lv Chang, Dong Zhao and others thought that Cao Hong could still delay and persist.

The reason why Lü Chang couldn't laugh was that he found out that the soldiers had no food to eat when they went to war...

It can't be said that there was no food at all, but even Lü Chang couldn't bear to look at the pitifully small biscuits.

Although it was not the coldest time of the year, the wind blowing from the north was still quite cold. If there was nothing in the stomach, how could they have the strength to fight?

『What's going on? 』

This situation was too obvious, and Lü Chang noticed this problem immediately.

『Is this what you eat on the battlefield? ! 』

‘This…’ The military school in charge of logistics also had a bitter face, ‘General… This is what was issued… General, please excuse me…’

Lü Chang walked two steps to the side with a gloomy face.

The military school in charge of logistics followed him with a bent waist, ‘General, you don’t know… Lieutenant Cao in charge of logistics said that there is not much food left… We need to prepare food for the return trip… And if we attack the front camp of the Cavalry Army, we can also get food from the enemy, which is the best of both worlds…’

‘Two what? This is the best of both worlds? ’

Lü Chang laughed dumbly, and didn’t know what to say for a moment.

The logistics support of the Cavalry Army is good, which is something most people know, but it is so blatant that it is not given, or less food is given to the Cao army soldiers. This reason is really so strong that Lü Chang feels confused. I don’t know how this logical thinking is established.

Withdrawal, oh, return, of course, we need to eat and prepare, that's right, but now the soldiers are going to go out and attack the front camp of the cavalry!

This is not going to a banquet!

And eating from the enemy?

If we can't defeat them...

Lu Chang suddenly understood a little.

If we lose, there is a high probability that many of these people will not come back, so there is no need to give them any food.

Lu Chang was silent for a long time, then shook his head, "Please help me convey a message to the baggage manager of the rear camp..."

"Yes, yes, please go ahead, General." The logistics military school bent over.

Lu Chang exhaled, ""Good people and gentlemen are the countrymen. They are the countrymen, why not ten thousand years?"

The logistics military school waited for Lu Chang to pause, and then waited for a moment, and then asked, "Just this sentence?

Lu Chang nodded, "Just this sentence.

The logistics supervisor just sneered after hearing the message, and his expression was mostly disdainful.

Chinese?

Savages?

Haha, except for the Cao family, all the others are savages!

Since they are savages, it is good enough to have food, so what is the point of talking about ten thousand years?

Can you live ten thousand years if you give them a bite of food?

What a joke!

……

Many people's ideas, plans, and visions change at any time.

Maybe you are still thinking about serving the country and the people in the last second, and decide to show off a Swiss roll as a snack in the next second, otherwise how can you have the energy to serve the country and the people? There are also some people who can persist for ten years.

Once the ideal is established, it has hardly changed, no matter what kind of suffering you encounter.

It is difficult to say which of these two types of people is better or worse.

After all, humans need to adapt to the environment and change the environment.

These two types of people should have cooperated, complemented, and supported each other, but unfortunately, more often, they are laughing at, ridiculing, and despising each other.

There are those in Cao's army who stick to their original intentions, those who change their goals at any time, and those who may jump back and forth between these two types...

For example, Xiahou Dun.

At the beginning, Xiahou Dun thought about dying and escaping, but at that time, the cavalry soldiers were keeping a close watch and there was no chance at all.

After all, as the second knife of Cao's army, how could Xiahou Dun be treated as an ordinary person?

However, as time went by, Xiahou Dun's desire to die became less, and his mind became more curious.

He could listen to all the arrangements of Fei Qian, he could accept it under the supervision of the cavalry soldiers and officers, he could remain silent, eat well and sleep well every day, and it seemed that he had no other intentions.

But in fact, in Xiahou Dun's heart, there was only Cao Aman.

Xiahou Dun had been waiting for an opportunity.

In the end, Xiahou Dun really got the opportunity, but no one could tell whether this opportunity was a good opportunity or a good choice.

Xun Chen was in charge of the affairs in Anyi.

After Fei Qian led his troops south, he left Xiahou Dun and other surrendered generals in the Anyi camp.

Xun Chen did not follow him south, but began to implement Fei Qian's new policies around Anyi. He was so busy that he almost bumped his head and feet every day, and he had no time to manage these surrendered generals.

When implementing new policies, especially in the initial stage, it is undoubtedly the most difficult period, because there are too many problems to be solved. To deal with the original ills, the original methods cannot be used. New personnel also need a new adaptation period. Naturally, there will inevitably be a little confusion, especially when these aristocratic children in Hedong are not too willing.

Every day, Xun Chen has to get up early, wash up and deal with various tasks immediately. It lasts until the breakfast is cold, and then he takes time to eat a few mouthfuls in a hurry, and then he has to approve the documents immediately. Even when eating, his eyes are fixed on the records of various affairs reported by the surrounding areas, and then he puts down his chopsticks from time to time and writes a few words.

Agriculture needs to be arranged, and industry needs to be restored.

After the war, many places became ruins, and everything had to start over.

The busyness of the cavalry naturally gave these surrendered generals some "opportunities".

As the surrendered general, oh, the captive, the largest one, Xiahou Dun did not seem to be worried these days. Instead, he ate and slept, went to bed early every day, and snored loudly in a short time.

The soldiers in charge of guarding Xiahou Dun could not help but feel a little contempt in their hearts when they saw this, but they also felt relieved.

But who could know that Xiahou Dun spent most of his time secretly calculating the time when these guards changed shifts and listening to the footsteps of the guards in and outside the courtyard?

All these changes started from the day Xiahou Dun met Cao Xiu...

It was from that day that Xiahou Dun waited every day, waiting for the "opportunity" to come to him.

...

...

Cao Xiu arrived in Anyi, but Fei Qian led his troops south again.

So, Cao Xiu's "heroic" plan naturally fell through again.

Perhaps since the beginning of the war, all the plans of Cao's army have failed again and again, which made Cao Xiu somewhat accustomed to it, or perhaps numb, so after hearing that Fei Qian had left, he did not show any particularly emotional behavior, which made the soldiers responsible for monitoring Cao Xiu somewhat relieved.

Cao Xiu did not go to see Xiahou Dun immediately, but saw his child, Cao Zhao.

When Cao Xiu saw Cao Zhao's figure, his face unconsciously sank.

In his opinion, Cao Zhao simply lost the face of the Cao family!

If a son is not taught, it is the fault of the father.

Seeing his child like this, Cao Xiu naturally felt that his face was dull.

Cao Zhao was still a little excited when he saw his father, but when he saw his father's gloomy face, he put away his joy. He hesitated for a while before stepping forward and whispered, "Father..."

Cao Xiu frowned.

[Are you so reluctant to call me father? ]

Cao Zhao lowered his head.

[Do you dislike me so much? You are like this, and you are not even happy to see me? ]

The two sat opposite each other, not far apart, but there seemed to be an invisible gully between them, separating them far away.

Consideration and understanding are mutual.

No order of priority!

Seeing this, Cao Xiu's heart slowly sank.

[Sure enough, he was weak and surrendered, otherwise he would not show such a state. ]

Cao Zhao lowered his head and said nothing, and he was also very depressed.

[Father is unhappy and has a sour face. He always has a sour face when he sees me. Can't he just smile? ]

Neither of them spoke for a long time.

Cao Xiu's father died early.

Therefore, in Cao Xiu's memory, his father is undoubtedly perfect and a role model in his life.

Cao Xiu hopes that he can be as perfect as his father.

The most important thing is that Cao Xiu suffered a lot when he was young because he didn't have a father. In particular, some people pretended to be generous on the surface, but actually said in a sinister way, "Ah, Cao Xiu, everyone should forgive him and understand him. You should know that Cao Xiu has no father, oh hehe...

Growing up in such an environment, Cao Xiu certainly hopes that he can set an example for Cao Zhao, and also try his best to tell his children to go in that direction, not to repeat the suffering he suffered in the past, and to suffer the sins he had suffered.

Because he was in pain, he wanted his children not to suffer that kind of pain.

But life is often so ironic.

It was fine when Cao Zhao was young. When Cao Zhao was stumbling and learning to speak, Cao Xiu would take him out to play, and would also hold him to go hiking and riding horses. At that time, Cao Zhao was undoubtedly close to Cao Xiu. However, when Cao Zhao began to study, the relationship between Cao Xiu and Cao Zhao gradually deteriorated.

The factor that caused the deterioration of the relationship between Cao Xiu and Cao Zhao was actually very simple, because of "study".

Studying is not for parents...

This may be the most common sentence said by parents in ancient and modern times, both at home and abroad, for thousands of years.

But the problem is that in the hearts of a large number of children, this sentence is the most disgusting.

Cao Zhao is the same.

Although Cao Xiu always told him that studying hard and being able to be both civil and military was for Cao Zhao to have a better future in the future, Cao Zhao would not refute it every time, but in his heart he did not agree. He felt that Cao Xiu asked him to study hard and practice civil and military skills just to make up for Cao Xiu's regrets in the past, so he imposed this responsibility on him.

And if he studied well, wouldn't it become a topic of conversation for parents to show off to each other? What's the point? Haven't you seen other people's parents, and they don't ask for so much? Aren't they living well too? Those Cao and Xiahou clans, who eat and drink every day, and have hawks and running dogs, are also free and happy? Why do I have to work so hard every day, and be scolded if I don't study well?

Of course, the "scold" that Cao Zhao felt, strictly speaking, may just be a criticism.

Because Cao Xiu can easily see that Cao Zhao is not attentive when doing certain things.

What Cao Xiu blamed was Cao Zhao's attitude.

Especially in learning.

Learning and practicing civil and martial arts obviously require hardship.

Cao Xiu naturally understood this, and Cao Xiu could understand that everyone has different talents, some are good at something, and some are not good at it, but he felt that it was not that Cao Zhao was not good at it, but that Cao Zhao was unwilling to do it. As long as Cao Zhao was willing to do something, he could do it well, so why couldn't Cao Zhao do it seriously?

Cao Xiu could agree that Cao Zhao could not reach certain heights in some things because of his lack of talent, but he could not agree that Cao Zhao wasted his talent because of his laziness and wrong attitude.

Cao Xiu thought that this was the most unacceptable thing for him as a father.

His child could obviously be better, so why should he, as a father, indulge his laziness and make him mediocre?

Obviously, when he was young, Cao Zhao was so smart and clever, and he had set up the ambition to be both civil and military, but why did he throw this ambition aside when he grew up? Whenever Cao Xiu mentioned this matter, he looked like his parents had died, but he could joke and have fun with others?

Cao Xiu glanced at the cavalry soldiers inside and outside the courtyard, and then said to Cao Zhao: "Do you know that "virtuous people and gentlemen are the countrymen. If they are the countrymen, why don't they last for ten thousand years", what does this sentence mean? 』

There were cavalry soldiers inside and outside the courtyard, so Cao Xiu certainly couldn't say directly that he was going to make trouble, so he could only explain some words in a more obscure way to extend some meaning.

But when Cao Zhao heard this sentence, only one thought rose in his heart——

[Here they come again, they are going to scold me again! 】
