Chapter 372: Three Countries: The Meaning of Chicken Ribs
Chapter 372: Three Countries: The Meaning of Chicken Ribs
<Congratulations in advance~ This episode is the peak of Liu Huangshu’s life! >
<Zhang He keeps losing.>
<The relationship between Xiahou Yuan and Cao Cao is equivalent to the relationship between Liu Bei, Zhang Fei and Guan Yu.>
<Xiahou Yuan was a garrison general on the level of Zhang Liao and Cao Ren, equivalent to the commander-in-chief of the Western Military Region. Of course, Boss Cao was heartbroken when he was killed in battle.>
<Cao Cao: I will personally lead the army to avenge General Xiahou!
Liu Bei: If I don't avenge my brother, what is the value of my vast territory! >
<Everyone who sees this will want to say: Let Zhang He go! >
<Zhao Yun is truly versatile, steady from beginning to end.>
<Cao Cao: My Youth is Back>
<Zhao Yun is the captain of the Shu Han rescue team.>
<Open the camp gates and follow my command! Zhao Yun said that he had never fought a rich battle before, but today he has a rich battle!>
<Empty City Strategy - Zilong Version, the youth version of Empty City Strategy.>
[Emperor Cao Cao of Wei: Can you deceive me with such a petty trick?]
[Sun Ce, the sixth year of Jian'an in the Eastern Han Dynasty: You acted like someone on a light screen saying "How could you hide this from me?" But in the end, you were deceived by others.]
[Liu Bei, Emperor Zhaolie of Han: Today, the peak battle is more than just this.]
……
Xiahou Yuan was so upset that he wanted Liu Bei and his people to pay the price.
"It's just Liu Bei and Huang Zhong..."
The way he died given on the screen was so unfair.
He didn't wear the armor properly, and was chopped off his horse by Huang Zhong...
How shameful!!!
Xiahou Yuan lowered his head and covered his face, and Xiahou Dun silently patted his shoulder to comfort him.
If there was anyone on Cao's side who felt particularly sad besides Xiahou Yuan, it was Zhang He.
Zhang He has gone from being shocked, angry, and ashamed at first to being completely numb now.
"Well... after all, they are very powerful, so it's normal that we can't beat them. That's Zhao Zilong, who went in and out of Changbanpo in Dangyang seven times..."
At the same time, Zhang He seemed to have anticipated his future fate and was calm.
……
After Cao Cao's defeat at Beishan, he led his army to attack Hanshui. Vanguard Xu Huang ignored the advice of deputy vanguard Wang Ping and forced the front army to cross the Hanshui River to the west. However, they were defeated by Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun and had to retreat to the east bank of the Hanshui River to defend.
Zhuge Liang ordered Zhao Yun to prepare sufficient food and grass and ambush at the foot of the mountain. He only blew drums and horns but did not engage in battle.
Cao's army was exhausted from the disturbance at midnight, so Cao Cao had no choice but to order his soldiers to sleep in their clothes.
"Even if you fall asleep, keep one eye open!"
Finally, there was no other way, so Cao Cao ordered his men to withdraw the camp thirty miles overnight.
Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun crossed the river to attack. Cao Cao wanted to return to Nanzheng, but Zhang Fei and Wei Yan had already taken advantage of the situation and captured Nanzheng. Cao Cao had no choice but to retreat to Yangping Pass, the gateway to Hanzhong, and sent Xu Chu to transport food and grass to meet him, but the food and grass were taken away by Zhang Fei again.
<Does it mean that all deputy generals named Wang Ping have a chief general who doesn't listen to advice? [狗头] >
<Poor "Wang Ping's Bitter Admonition" hahaha>
<Do you really think you are the Marquis of Huaiyin? A desperate battle? [Eat melon]>
<Wang Ping: Ever since I became a deputy general, no commander has listened to me!!!>
<This Wang Ping is the deputy general who followed Ma Su in the future. After Cao Cao was defeated by Liu Bei in Hanzhong, he surrendered to Liu Bei. Now Xu Huang doesn't listen to him, and Ma Su won't listen to him in the future either, hahahaha. With Wang Ping around, the main general will be debuffed.>
<Zhuge Liang's tactic is to disturb the enemy, an early guerrilla tactic.>
<This is really like a panda delivering food, the bamboo shoots are ready [covering face]>
<Xiahou Dun: Damn, I'm just not going to sleep! >
<The Shu army is so bad! Bullying the elderly! My boss Cao’s mentality exploded hahahaha.>
<Zhang Fei is killing like crazy. His record since entering Shu is amazing.>
[Zhang Fei, the second year of Zhangwu in the Later Han Dynasty: Hahahaha, Cao thieves! Wei army! You guys should open your eyes and take a good look at your Grandpa Zhang!]
[Emperor Cao Cao of Wei: How shameless! Zhuge villager! Liu Xuande! You are bullying the elderly! Do you want to let people rest after all the noise?!]
[Zhuge Liang, the second year of Zhangwu in the Later Han Dynasty: Hahaha, if Cao Cao wants to rest, he can just withdraw from Hanzhong, right?]
[Emperor Zhaolie of Han Liu Bei: Yes, I agree!]
[Sun Ce, the sixth year of Jian'an in the Eastern Han Dynasty: This is a really good move.]
……
Zhang Fei hesitated for a moment, pointed at the person who had been following him, and then pointed at the comments on the screen.
"Are you Wang Ping too?"
"Yes."
"Were you following Cao Ze before?"
"Uh, um."
"Wow!" Zhang Fei was surprised. He walked up to Wang Ping, patted him on the shoulder, and looked him up and down.
"Well, not bad, not bad, he's a good guy! He's got good vision to follow my big brother!"
Liu Chan didn't know much about the Battle of Hanzhong, so he took advantage of his free time to go to Wang Ping and ask about the details of that year.
"The light curtain said that you are the deputy general, and the main general around you will have a debuff. What's going on?"
Looking at Liu Chan's inquisitive eyes, Wang Ping didn't know either.
Jiang Wei guessed that debuff was not a good word. Light Curtain usually mentions debuff when a task fails.
So Ma Su failed that time too?
Combining the information revealed by the light screen in the previous times, it is possible that Ma Su tried to defend the mountain but failed?
"Who is Ma Su with now?"
"Oh, he was with the Prime Minister before, and then he was transferred to his brother's side."
……
[Cao Cao did not cover himself with the quilt when he was sleeping. The eunuch came in and covered him with the quilt, and scolded the two soldiers who were guarding outside as dead men.
Cao Cao suddenly opened his eyes, drew his sword from the bed, and pierced the eunuch's heart with the sword.
Then Cao Cao lay back on his bed and went to sleep as if nothing had happened.
Yang Xiu and Xu Huang came to report that Cao Cao woke up from the bed and saw the eunuch lying on the ground.
Cao Cao was shocked and asked, "Who killed my attendant?"
"Could it be that he was killed in my dream?"
Yang Xiu and others had different expressions on their faces.
In the evening, the attendants asked how long it would take to withdraw the troops. Yang Xiu knew that Cao Cao had already intended to withdraw the troops, but he was unwilling to give up because the expedition had yielded no results, so he was still hesitating.
At night, Cao Cao issued the command for tonight's camp: "Chicken ribs".
Cao Cao knew in his camp that he could not win, so he planned to return to the capital, but he did not announce it.
Only Yang Xiu, after knowing the password, ordered his men to pack up and prepare to return to Xudu. Xiahou Dun came to ask Yang Xiu what he meant, and Yang Xiu spoke frankly.
"My lord, you must withdraw your troops."
"Chicken ribs have no meat to eat, but are tasty to discard. We cannot win if we advance, and we may be laughed at if we retreat. It is useless to stay here, so it is better to retreat early. Tomorrow, the lord will return to the court."
Xiahou Dun praised him for knowing his lord's true heart.
Cao Cao patrolled the camp in the middle of the night and found that most people were packing their luggage. After learning the cause and effect, Cao Cao became extremely suspicious. He eventually executed Yang Xiu and canceled the plan to withdraw troops.
<Yang Xiu, an early psychologist, specialized in treating Cao Cao [eating melon]>
<Soldier: Let's see who is the dead one.>
<Cao Cao's exclusive skill: Killing in a dream!>
<It is unfortunate to be Cao Cao's servant.>
<Cao Cao must have done it on purpose, what a talented actor he is.>
<Cao Cao: I like to kill people in my dreams!>
<Yang Xiu: I will just watch your performance quietly [eating melon]>
<We are still good friends if we don't speak out our truth.>
<Trouble comes from the mouth, Yang Xiu is going to get a box lunch.>
<Boss Cao must be missing Guo Jia at this moment [eating melon] Now that Guo Jia is gone, no one is giving him a way out.>
<Yang Xiu tried his best to support Cao Zhi to ascend to the throne, but he actually died in the dispute over the crown prince, and the chicken ribs were just an excuse.>
<Another reason is that Xu Huang and Xiahou Dun were both loyal and brave generals, but they all trusted Yang Xiu and asked him for advice on everything, which was the cause of Yang Xiu's death.>
<You are showing off [covering face]>
<Yang Xiu disturbed the morale of the army, he deserved to die! See how Yang Xiu understood the way to survive in the workplace.>
