    After the Battle of Huguan, Cao Jun was defeated and retreated to Shangdang County. It can be said that he was very aggrieved.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

    How can we defeat Yangzhou¡¯s million-strong army?

    Cao Cao's army began to be frightened, and all kinds of rumors appeared, which were nothing more than words such as Cao Cao's inevitable defeat.

    The morale of the military is unstable.

    When they made a surprise attack on the Yangzhou camp, they were also ambushed once.  The army numbered hundreds of thousands when they left, but only tens of thousands when they returned.

    No matter whether they take the initiative or insist on defense, they can't defeat the Yangzhou Army. How can their morale not drop?

    Of course, there are exaggerations. Generally speaking, the night attack was not a defeat, but a retreat. There were still 70,000 to 80,000 Cao troops who were able to return.

    But among them, there are indeed only about 10,000 people who still have fighting spirit and are willing to stay in the army.

    Cao Cao was worried that the defeat would affect the morale of other armies. Following his wishes, Cao Hong recruited people to build a camp outside the city.

    The construction of the camp was completed in three days, and then the bustling defeated army settled in it.

    There are about 20,000 to 30,000 people, all of whom are defenders.

    The situation of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry is a little better, and they are worthy of their reputation as elites.

    Among the defenders, some were blind, some had broken arms and legs, or some were seriously injured.

    Tens of thousands of defeated troops walked silently into the military camp prepared by Cao Hong. The scene was very desolate.

    Cao Cao had already been prepared in his heart, but when he encountered it in person, he still felt disappointed.

    With this kind of mental outlook, how can you compete with the Yangzhou Army?

    Defeated!  A complete defeat!

    There are only 20,000 to 30,000 people now, and there is no guarantee that there will be more in the future.

    The so-called million-strong army is nothing but empty air.

    Good fortune never comes alone, and misfortune never comes alone, and a turmoil broke out that gave Cao Cao a headache.

    The camp was blown up!

    When Cao Cao heard about it, he was really shocked.  A general is not afraid of how many enemies there are, but he is afraid of fighting among his own people.

    The scale of the bombing camp was not very large. It was just a conflict between hundreds of Huguan defenders and Shangdang defenders transporting grain.

    The Shangdang defenders ridiculed the Huguan defenders for being defeated and eating food and grass for free, living a more relaxed life than them.

    Why are you delivering food and grass to these uncles?

    Who is not a big-headed soldier?

    There was a dispute between the two sides. One of the Shangdang defenders cursed at a Cao soldier who had lost his right leg:

    "A lame person has a lot of troubles!"

    His legs were pushed down while guarding the city, and were properly "work-related injuries."

    When I was told this, I felt aggrieved.

    It¡¯s okay for him to be lame, but it¡¯s difficult to get violent and hurt someone.

    But what happened to him made other people feel aggrieved!

    They had no way to vent their frustration and fought tooth and nail to defend the city, but they ended up like this, without even basic respect.

    Do you want to live this day again?

    Hundreds of people in the camp immediately turned red with anger. They drew their swords and chopped the talkative Shangdang defender into a pulp.

    This is a direct hit!

    The Shangdang garrison is also stupid. I give you food and drinks, but I still want to see your faces?

    Not only that, but there is also the fear of life.

    So, they all took out their weapons, and the incident escalated into a fight. More than a dozen people died, and others were also injured.

    This frightened the captain, and he quickly reported to Cao Hong.

    By the time Cao Hong arrived, things were already ruined. The camp was noisy and there were shouts of killing everywhere.

    He quickly mobilized two thousand tiger and leopard cavalry, and beheaded several of the top corps commanders and chiefs in public, and then managed to separate the two parties.

    But the situation got worse.

    When the Tigers and Leopards saw their own people fighting, their morale plummeted.

    The morale that Cao Hong had finally built up was suddenly gone.

    "Military advisor, what does the lord say?"

    Jiang Ji glanced at the pacified rebel army, frowned and said: "My lord has a headache and is ill in bed at the moment. It is not appropriate to disturb him. The general will handle it himself and report it afterwards."

    ¡°Handle it yourself??¡± Cao Hong looked surprised. It seemed that Jiang Ji had not realized the seriousness of the problem.

    "Military advisor!" Cao Hong sighed slightly and shook his head. "Blowing up a camp is no small matter. If the morale of the army is lost, it will never be restored."

    Jiang Jilue 1After thinking about it, he understood what Cao Hong meant and invited Cao Cao out.

    Cao Cao endured his exhaustion, stepped forward, and shouted at both sides of the fight: "Put down your weapons, is it possible that you are going to do it in front of me?"

    Two thousand tigers and leopards standing on horseback with cold faces rode beside them. The two groups of people lowered their heads one after another and put down their weapons.

    Cao Cao then gave a wry smile and said: "They are all good sons of my big man, and they are all my subordinates, Cao Mengde, why is it like this!"

    After discussing with Jiang Ji and Cao Hong, Cao Cao decided to impose heavy penalties and would never tolerate it.

    Now is the time to unite as one to fight against Yangzhou. It is simply stupid to cause trouble at this moment!

    Cao Cao ordered the troublemakers to be beheaded on the spot, and nearly a hundred of their heads fell to the ground.

    However, things are far from over.

    Two days later, another incident occurred in the camp. Someone came to Cao Hong and hoped to retire.

    Followed by thousands of Cao soldiers.

    Cao Hong was dumbfounded.

    You should know that since the reform was implemented, there has been almost no such thing as "retirement".

    It¡¯s okay to be disabled and old. Cao Hong can be accommodating, but what about those with sound limbs?

    He looked at the thousands of people in the team, many of whom were strong and unable to meet the standards for "retirement".

    The dignified general was blocked in the camp by his subordinates.

    Doesn¡¯t Cao Hong feel embarrassed?

    No, Cao Hong didn't feel that way. He couldn't even feel angry, only deep and empathetic sadness.

    He immediately reported to Cao Cao.

    Cao Cao actually suppressed his headache and almost performed a performance of "sitting up in shock while dying of illness".

    By the time Cao Cao arrived at the military camp again, there were more than 3,000 people standing in front of him.

    Looking at the soldiers who lowered their heads and looked ashamed, Cao Cao sighed secretly, and then roared:

    "Raise your heads, soldiers of Cao Jun!"

    Everyone was shocked and confused, but they still raised their heads and were stunned by this scene.

    I saw Cao Cao bow deeply and said solemnly: "You officers and men are brave and loyal, and you have not failed me, Cao Mengde. It is I, Cao Mengde, who has failed you!"

    "Please be fucked!"

    "Lord!" Everyone exclaimed, not expecting Cao Cao to do this.

    They hesitated for a moment, feeling that they had gone too far.

    "You are all men!"

    Cao Cao shouted loudly, and then ordered Cao Hong beside him, sighing: "Zilian, take some military pay and give each person a thousand dollars, so that the soldiers can leave in peace!"

    "A thousand dollars?" Cao Hong's eyes widened. Instead of retaining or stopping him, he gave the money?

    What do the protagonist think?

    Everyone around him also had shocked expressions on their faces.

    You know, Cao Cao is too poor to open the pot, where will the money come from to distribute it to everyone.

    Ignoring the exclamations of his subordinates, Cao Cao looked at the retreating Cao soldiers in front of him and said apologetically:

    "You all risked your lives to help me, Cao Cao, calm down the troubled times. Unfortunately, I, Cao Cao, am not capable enough and can't keep you."

    "The athletes in our army are all heroes in the world. How can they be compared with just money?"

    Cao Cao bowed again.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
