At Huguan, Cao Cao's army launched fierce attacks again and again.
The bright red city wall, the pungent fishy smell, and the mountains of corpses cost countless soldiers their lives.
"Zidan, in your opinion, how long will it take to conquer Hu Pass?"
Cao Hong looked at the solemn-looking Cao Zhen beside him and asked.
"The Huguan moat is not that easy to conquer. However, after these days of fierce attack, the defenders of Huguan have been obviously weakened a lot. It will probably not take long to capture it." Cao Zhen replied.
Hearing this, Cao Hong couldn't help but reveal a trace of sadness in his eyes. This battle was too tragic. Cao's army suffered heavy casualties and countless soldiers died. To describe it as a mountain of corpses and a sea of ??blood is not an exaggeration at all.
Cao Zhen saw what Cao Hong was thinking and comforted him, "Zilian, you don't need to be too sad. Since ancient times, wars have killed people. In order to win Huguan, this is inevitable."
"I understand, but the price paid is too high."
At this time, a burst of excited cheers broke out among Cao's troops who were attacking the city.
When they heard the cheers, Cao Hong and the two men were surprised and looked up.
I saw a large number of Cao troops climbing up to the top of Huguan City and fighting with the defenders.
Zhao Yun, who was covered in blood, was desperately killing Cao Jun one after another. Soon, all Cao's troops who boarded the city were wiped out, but in the eyes of Cao Hong and Cao Hong, this was a good thing.
After such a long siege, today is the first time that Cao Jun has reached the top of Huguan City. Everything is difficult at the beginning. As long as there is a first time, there will be a second and third time. This indicates that the day of breaking through Huguan is not far away!
However, before the two of them could get excited, a loud banging sound suddenly sounded in Cao Jun¡¯s camp.
"This is Mingjin!"
Cao Zhen pricked up his ears and couldn't believe it.
However, as the sound of ringing gold sounded, Cao's troops who had been frantically attacking the city retreated one after another, and the advantage they finally created was gone.
The military orders were overwhelming, and they all withdrew without thinking too much.
When Cao Hong saw this, he couldn't help but roar.
"Who is it! Who is it and why is it called gold!"
No one can accept the results achieved at a heavy price if they are wasted.
Hurrying back to the camp, Cao Hong and Cao Zhen shouted loudly as soon as they got off the horse.
"Who is Ming Jin? Come out, I will kill him!"
Over there, Xia Houshang, who was responsible for leading Cao's army to attack the city, also returned to the camp with more than a dozen wounds. He originally thought it was Cao Hong and the other two who called for gold, but looking at them now, it seemed that he didn't know who suddenly called for gold and retreated his troops.
Jiang Ji hurriedly ran out of the Central Army's tent, made a silent gesture to Cao Hong and the others, came to them and whispered.
"The generals must be careful to say that this is King Ming's gold."
"What! Impossible!" Cao Hong didn't believe Jiang Ji's words at all.
"That's why the King of Wei suddenly called for gold. You know, Huguan is about to be captured." Cao Zhen also said angrily.
Xia Houshang covered his bleeding arm and said with resentment: "Mr. Zitong, is it really the King of Wei who paid for the gold? Brothers have worked hard for so many days, and this gold is all in vain."
"Hey." Jiang Ji sighed and said, "It is true that the King of Wei ordered the gold medal, but the generals should not blame the King of Wei. He is not feeling well now, and the gold medal is a helpless act."
Cao Hong gradually calmed down, heard what Jiang Ji meant, and asked, "Mr. Zitong, what happened?"
Jiang Ji looked around, and after seeing no one else, he placed his ear next to the three generals' ears.
"Just received the news, Liu Ke sent Lu Bu, Taishi Ci, and Dian Wei to lead an army of 100,000, nominally to aid Sun Ce. In fact, he carried out a false plan to destroy Guo and lured General Gongming stationed at Sishui Pass to come out and make a surprise attack. He fell into ambush. He died in Dian Wei's hands, and even Sishui Pass fell into Liu Ke's hands."
After Jiang Ji finished speaking, several people became silent and remained silent.
After a while, Cao Hong punched the ground and said angrily, "Gong Ming, Dian Wei! I, Cao Hong, are at odds with you!"
Cao Hong had a very good relationship with Xu Huang, and they were considered brothers. Now that Xu Huang died in battle, one can imagine the grief in his heart.
Cao Zhen and Xia Houshang also felt uncomfortable. The rabbit died and the fox was sad.
Helping Cao Hong up, Jiang Ji advised: "General Zilian, please forgive me. The King of Wei is still waiting for you, please go ahead."
Controlling their emotions, everyone filed into the Chinese army's tent.
In the big tent, King Cao Cao of Wei was leaning on the couch, with sunken eyes and a sallow complexion, as if he had suddenly aged dozens of years.
"Last general, see the King of Wei!"
Cao Hong and others paid homage to Cao Cao.
Raising his eyes slightly, Cao Cao weakly waved his hands and said, "No need to be polite, just get up."
After they all stood up, Cao Cao continued: "Zitong should have told you about Sishui Pass. Now, Liu Ke's army can pass through Sishui Pass at any time and approach Luoyang. You guys can discuss what should be done. manage."
¡°King Wei, the general believes that the loss of Sishui Pass threatens Luoyang, but Hu Pass will be captured soon, so"
Before Cao Hong finished speaking, Cao Cao interrupted him, "I know you are not willing to give up Huguan, but if Luoyang is lost and the emperor falls into Liu Ke's hands, have you ever thought about the consequences."
"What consequences can there be? Isn't he just a good-for-nothing emperor?" Xia Houshang muttered from the side.
Cao Cao said angrily, "You are confused! Zitong, I'm tired. Please tell them the importance of the emperor."
"Promise." Jiang Ji accepted the order and immediately talked eloquently, "A few generals may seem insignificant to the emperor, but with the emperor in hand, they can use the emperor to command the princes. No matter who they attack, they will all be famous."
"But if the emperor falls into the hands of Liu Ke, the consequences will be unpredictable. First of all, Liu Ke is a member of the Han royal family, so he can completely let the emperor give up the throne to him. When the time comes, Liu Ke will be the emperor of the Han Dynasty who has the heart of the world."
"Whether it is King Wei, Liu Bei, or Sun Ce, they will all be rebels against cholera in the world. If the emperor says this, the whole world will die together! How Yuan Shu died, several generals must know very well."
" A word woke up the dreamer. After listening to Jiang Ji's words, Cao Hong and the rough guys finally understood the importance of the emperor and asked.
"In this case, doesn't it mean that we must return to Luoyang now?"
"Yes, not only must we return to Luoyang, but we must also find an opportunity to recapture Sishui Pass. Otherwise, Chen Liu will not be able to defend for a few days."
As Cao Cao spoke, he stood up with the help of Jiang Ji, barely straightening his back, with a pair of tiger eyes that showed no anger or intimidation. It was as if he had returned to his heroic demeanor when he was high-spirited and commanding the world.
"The solitary order is passed, and Cao Chun is left behind. Cao Zhen leads 80,000 troops to garrison Shangdang to guard against Zhao Yun. The others, starting from today, will return to Luoyang with the solitary army!" (Remember the website address of this website: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
