chapter seven hundred and seventy three.
It is worthy of being Guan Yu, who was seriously injured and was also attacked from both sides. Cao Zhang did not break the law and wiped out his troops!
Guan Shouhou is really cruel! After the news of Wancheng's fall last night fled from defeated soldiers to Xuchang, Guan Yu quietly rectified it overnight. Thousands of wounded soldiers were abandoned by him in the central army. More than 20,000 local second-line troops recruited in Jingzhou also regarded them as scapegoats without hesitation and left behind the palace rear.
Ten thousand people were arranged in the direction of Qiushan, and ten thousand people were arranged in the direction of Wancheng. The dry food of the entire army was concentrated on the remaining 20,000 Jingzhou troops. As soon as he arrived in the morning, he rushed to the middle of the night and was abused for more than a month. The angry Xiangyang surrendered army and the Chang'an Corps who received the news last night were ready to go. The military formation was neatly arranged like a iron block to attack the military camp. When the Jingzhou sub-troop guarding the camp was still fighting bravely to fight the enemy, Guan Yu suddenly concentrated the mules and horses of the entire army, and a strategic shift was made, and Sa Ya ran south.
"It's despicable!"
After all, the troops were limited, and there were only 20,000 people in one piece. Even if you followed Xu Yue, five hundred cavalry and rush towards the core desperately, they would just knock off the reserve infantry that blocked the road. Cao Zhang watched as Guan Yu, who was wearing a thick Liaodong cotton gauze, took a Xuanhua axe and led his subordinates out of the center of the camp, and ran around him and ran south. Cao Zhang saw that he was gritting his teeth and his eyes were red!
"General! Big Ju is the most important thing!"
Seeing that Cao Zhang seemed to abandon the army and led the iron cavalry to chase Guan Yu to death, he was full of sweat on his forehead, and Xu Yue shouted dullly under the iron helmet. He heard Cao Zhang was clever again, and he looked at him helplessly, and suddenly pulled the reins of the horse. He once again grabbed the horse's belly.
"drive!"
Turning his head again, the heavy five hundred canned cavalry launched a charge again, and the panicked Jingzhou army was once again knocked away like a rag doll.
…………
This battle was not as difficult as yesterday's battle. Guan Yu was the god of the army. Once he ran away, the remaining morale dropped rapidly like an avalanche. However, even if there were 20,000 pigs, it would have to be caught for a while, not to mention 20,000 people, it took Cao's army more than half an hour to clean up the battlefield.
The most tragic thing in this battle was Guan Yu, and the second tragic thing was Sima Yi. Even if he had done all the tasks, he could not count on the five hundred cavalry. Cao Zhang, a playboy he looked down upon, could capture Wancheng, and he could actually dig out more than 10,000 soldiers out of thin air. He watched Deng Ai, King Changle, and then entered the Jingchu army formation. After a moment of silence, Sima Yi slipped back to the city miserably, and then rushed out hurriedly with his five thousand elite soldiers.
If you don’t join the war now, you won’t be able to drink even the soup in terms of credit!
But what made Sima Yi vomit blood was that he led his troops out of the South Gate. The Wancheng Army, who had been fighting for two days, actually killed from the north of the city like chicken blood. His troops did not have many spearmen, and the array training was also average. The Wancheng rebels who formed the formation waved behind him and rushed forward with a bow and arrow. He did not dare to fight up. He watched the two armies in front and back encircled and annihilated the last remnants of Guan Yu's army.
Then Sun Lang, the thief who rebelled with Lu Hun, was also in trouble. He was so drunk that he was beheaded at the head. He was originally offered up like a treasure by Sima Yi, but the main force of Guan Yu in the South Gate was annihilated. He didn't even feel like supervising the battle. He went back to his mansion in Xuchang and threw the head out of the mansion, and he didn't know where he fell.
Anyway, it's useless.

It is said that the Battle of Chibi was a battle of the Three Kingdoms pattern laid down, but this time the Battle of Xuchang was the one that Wei, Shu and Wu can be said to have obtained the political capital they wanted. China Kuo
First of all, Shu Kingdom paid nearly 80,000 people, and Liu Bei took Hanzhong. When Emperor Gaozu of Han, Liu Bang, raised an army in Hanzhong and won the world. His political foundation for imitating Emperor Gaozu of Han and supporting the country was settled. After Guan Yu was defeated, Liu Bei directly sent an envoy to pass by Chang'an and headed straight to Luoyang, asking Emperor Xian of Han to ask him for the title of King of Hanzhong.
Then there was the Wu State. The ruling structure of the Sun family gradually conquered the numerous families in Jiangnan, and then forced them together. Although Sun Quan did not defeat him in the Northern Expedition to Hefei, it scared Zhang Liao's eight hundred Xiaoyaojin warriors, but after all, the 100,000 Wu troops withstood the second fierce attack of the 200,000 Cao troops, and the Wu family recognized the core of the core in the war.
And he was eager to return to his army, Cao Cao had to make political concessions and promised to grant Sun Quan the King of Wu.
As for Cao Wei himself, although the West lost Hanzhong, Xiangyang's 40,000 troops on the middle line, and the Eastern line had not been fought, the Central Plains family colluded with Liu Bei and the largest counterattack was repelled. A large number of rebel families, including Ji Ben, the doctor of Xudu, Geng Ji, Cao Juan and Wei Feng from Yecheng, were all killed. Most of the political environment in the Central Plains, which had become hidden as Cao Cao was called the King of Wei, was also extinguished.
Guan Yu's army fought north with 100,000 people, and only 20,000 people retreated. Nearly 70,000 were captured or surrendered. The magnificent battle of Xuchang also laid the most important foundation for Cao Wei to usurp the Han Dynasty.
In November, leading an army of 200,000 braved the cold, Cao Cao finally retreated back to Xudu.
…………
"Meet Your Highness the King of Wei!"
It seems that the scene of starting a business that year has reappeared again. The Prime Minister's Mansion, which has been empty for more than ten years, was once again crowded. Not to mention, the spring kang built by Wang Hou for Cao Cao was still there. In November, it was cold and Cao Cao, who had been frozen by the Yangtze River for several months, sat on the warm kang. His originally cold body gradually warmed up again. His comfort also made him feel particularly moved.
"Your Highness, you should die if you are guilty!"
Amid the desolate cry, Yu Jin, who had been aged in his teens, fell to the ground in a grief. Although he was besieged on the Hanshui Dam, he would undoubtedly die if he did not surrender. However, after all, he was an old minister who raised an army with General Cao. He surrendered to Liu Bei at the most dangerous moment of Cao Wei. He did not show any favoritism to death, and his loyalty was still unreasonable.
"Get up and return to your position!"
He sighed deeply. Cao Cao was originally the most sentimental one among the heroes, and this time he experienced the biggest crisis since the uprising, and his mind has changed a lot. Cao Cao reached out to help Yu Jin come up, and at the same time turned his head and nodded to Cao Pi who came to Yecheng.
"I heard that you captured Zhong Yao and Wen Qin and a few! Although Zhong Yao was not sure about his knowledge and had a bad guy under his command, he still believed in his loyalty to me, the Great Wei, and Zihuan should release them!"
"Son of yourselves obey your order!"
He always looked respectful and left-behind the prince. Cao Pi, who had just finished the Wei Feng rebellion case, obediently stepped out of the array and clasped his fists.
However, after dealing with these troubles, Cao Cao suddenly became happy again and shouted loudly.
"Please invite my family's Qianliju, Cao Ziwen!"
