Chapter 546: Cao Cao's Death

After being defeated in the camp, he was as brave as Ju Yi, and died in the chaos. Yuan Shao observed his left and right and saw that the generals below were all shocked, while the soldiers were depressed and their morale was sluggish. The hot wind mixed with bloody smell blew, and the Hebei army flag seemed to have lost its vitality, but stretched it a few times weakly.

Yuan Shao knew that under such circumstances, it was not advisable to launch an attack again. The only thing he could count on at this moment was the Xianbei and Wuhuan cavalry who had come to help him form a formation to challenge him. He hoped that the warriors in his clan would win a few battles and hit the arrogance of the Jiangdong Army, which might restore the morale of the Hebei Army.

"The order is sent to the right wise king of Xianbei, Sa Kun, Wuhuan King Nanlou, and Su Puyan, the king of Wuhuan Qiao in Shanggu, and Su Puyan, the king of Wuhuan Qiao in Liaodong, to challenge with his own cavalry. In any case, he will win the previous battle today!" After Yuan Shao gave the order, he called out several more confidant guards. After hesitating for a moment, he whispered, "Tell Zhang, Jiang, and Han, quickly prepare for each other secretly, and hold on until dusk. Hearing the sound of gold, he withdrew his troops back to the camp!"

In the Jiangdong Army's large village, Zhou Yu was still calm and leisurely, but he was extremely happy. After a hard battle in the camp, he finally defeated the most elite army in the Hebei army - Chengzhang. Although he lost more than 200 warriors in the battle, this battle was the watershed of the Guandu War. The morale of the Hebei army fell greatly and he would inevitably retreat north. Since then, the Hebei army has no longer had the courage, and there is no strength to cross the Yellow River south!

His plan to divide the troops has not yet shown its power at this time. He defeated the Hebei army just by confronting the two armies in a dignified manner. How glorious is this for the soldiers of the Jiangdong Army? I believe that in a short time, good news will come. Chen Gong and Wang Yue will take advantage of the situation to attack after Yuan Shao retreated north, and occupy as many as possible and weaken Yuan Shao's strength.

In the vision, the two cavalrymen of Xianbei and Wuhuan were hurriedly aligned, with clouds rolling around in the sky, and under the sunlight, they were covered with golden edges, and Zhou Yu's thoughts spread further with the wind.

The latest news came. Cao Cao fought in Jinyang in blood and was lured by Hedong prefect Guo Yuan. He almost fell into a trap. Although he led the army to retreat quickly, he also lost nearly a half of his horse. Cao Cao was also chased and ran alone. Fortunately, Xun Yu arranged for Xiahou Dun to lead 3,000 troops to support him, and he returned to the camp safely.

That night, it was raining heavily, and Cao's camp was suddenly attacked by the Hun cavalry who came to rescue. Although Cao's camp was prepared, it could not resist the fierceness of the Hun cavalry. In addition, the elite troops in the city took advantage of the situation and finally defeated Cao's army.

In the dark night, the vision was limited, and heavy rain was pouring down above the head. Under the attack of the two powerful soldiers, the Cao army suddenly exploded the camp, making a mess, shouting and running around, and those who died of trampling on each other were more than those under the enemy's sword.

Cao Cao was old and was chased by Guo Yuan during the day. He was still shocked. The attack on the camp in the middle of the night made him even more shocked. Seeing that he was unable to turn the world, Cao Cao had to break through the siege of Xiahou Yuan. After a bloody battle, Cao Cao led only a few hundred people to escape from Shengtian and fled to a mountain ridge in the distance. Looking back at the camp in the distance, there was still a shout of killing in the camp. Obviously, the soldiers of the Cao army were falling one after another under the sabers of the Hun cavalry and the spears of the Bingzhou Ruis.

Cao Cao was extremely tired. Seeing that there were no pursuers behind him, he sat weakly on a huge rock. His eyes were just staring at the camp in the distance, carrying his dream of reviving his great cause and was related to the fate of the Cao family. At this moment, it had disappeared.

The lives of tens of thousands of soldiers were destroyed in this heavy rain. Cao Cao's ambition was also ruined! Cao Cao was tenacious and could never give up his goal, but when he really faced this cruel reality, he realized that he was like ordinary people and could not bear this defeat.

Cao Cao's eyes slowly turned around. Beside him, there were only Xiahou Yuan and hundreds of his own guards, everyone was injured and bleeding from the knife. In the dark night, they were silent, this was a group of extremely loyal subordinates. Cao Cao knew that as long as he did not fall, they would follow him and continue to fight and fight, until they were exhausted and died on the battlefield.

However, Cao Cao was tired, really tired, physically and mentally exhausted. He knew that behind his life's fame were the numerous bones, the madness after trampling on life, and the silent sobs of orphans and widows...

Xun Yu, Xun You, Xiahou Dun, Yu Jin... They had not appeared yet. They thought they had died in the chaos of the army. The Huns' horses were quick and quick, and they came to attack them in a sneak attack due to their unprepared army. The camp had been in chaos. How could they protect them?

These people are loyal and loyal subordinates who have been with him for many years! After suffering, they have made great contributions. After being defeated and fled in the Taihang Mountains, they have never left each other and helped them rebuild their strength. But tonight... Cao Cao only felt that his heart was hard to suppress, his face suddenly flushed, and he suddenly vomited a few mouthfuls of blood!

"Lord~~" Xiahou Yuan was close to Cao Cao. Seeing this, he hurriedly took a few steps forward and reached out to support him. Cao Cao staggered, then stood firm, waved his hand, and whispered: "Don't worry about me, it's okay... Please send someone to pick me up and see if Lord Xun and others have escaped from birth?"

Xiahou Yuanhu's eyes were filled with tears. At this moment, Cao Cao's figure seemed so helpless and lonely, but he had no ability to share his worries! In any case, he had to protect his lord to retreat to a safe place and leave the green mountains without fear of burning firewood! Xiahou Yuan was in a critical cusp and turned around to instruct several confidants to return to pick up Xun Yu and others who might have escaped from the camp.

The waiting in the dark night seemed so long. At the time of dawn, dozens of defeated soldiers were waiting one after another. Cao Cao was eagerly watching Xun Yu and others, but there was no trace. Cao Cao leaned under a big tree and resolutely refused Xiahou Yuan's proposal to retreat several times. Under his tired expression, he was anxious and expectant.

In any case, we have to wait for news from them!

The bad news finally came, and the scouts sent out returned the news. After defeating Cao's camp, the high-ranking officials persuaded Xun Yu, Xun You and others to surrender. To serve as a warning, they simply ordered them to behead them and hung their heads above the city gate. The two generals Xiahou Dun and Yu Jin who died bravely were placed together.

The things I had been worried about finally became a reality, but this reality made it difficult for Cao Cao to bear. It was all his own big mistake that he had suffered today! Cao Cao cried out several times, "How is my face in the nine fountains?" His body suddenly stiffened and he fell straight to the ground.

Cao Cao's fall made Xiahou Yuan, who was also immersed in grief, cheer up. He hurriedly led people to help Cao Cao up. After he woke up, he ordered the entire army to retreat and find a secluded valley to set up camp.

Cao Cao retreated with the army in a daze, never fully awake. Lying on the stretcher, he had extremely active thoughts. The events he had experienced in the past and the various characters he had seen were all present in front of him, as if he was summarizing the gains and losses and merits and demerits of this life for him...

Five days later, Cao Cao, a hero, finally completed his life. During these five days, he had not yet entered the rice and had no drops of water, so that when he died, he was so thin that he lost his body. After Cao Cao's death, Xiahou Yuan and hundreds of Cao's soldiers committed suicide in the camp.

On this day, heavy rain fell from the sky, lightning and thunder were roaring, as if to pay homage to Cao Cao.

A few days after Cao Cao's death, Yuan Shao was defeated at Guandu.
