As Cao Ang explained how Boluojin fell, Cao Cao began to sigh in his heart: 'I didn't expect that Wang Xinhao actually sent his elite ace to attack Boluojin.'

Thinking of this, Cao Cao felt like giving up.

Immediately afterwards, Cao Cao comforted Cao Ang to rest, and he left the house to summon Xun Yu for discussion.

Soon, Xun Yu rushed to Cao Cao's side.

When Cao Cao saw Xun Yu arriving, he immediately told him about the fall of Boluojin.

Xun Yu was also shocked when he heard the news.

"Your Majesty, is Boluojin really trapped?"

"That's right, my son Cao Ang escaped with all his strength, while Cao Xiu's life and death are uncertain. Wen Ruo, how should I respond next?"

Hearing this, Xun Yu also fell into deep thought.

When Cao Cao saw Xun Yu's silence, he felt even more sad.

After a short while, Xun Yu finally spoke: "Your Majesty, for now we can only defend the giant deer with all our strength."

"What does Wen Ruo mean?"

"Your Majesty, now that Boluojin has fallen, our army's northern side has been completely exposed to the Xia army. If we don't strengthen the defense of Julu, our army may never be able to recover."

After hearing this, Cao Cao also began to think deeply.

Although Cao Cao also felt that what Xun Yu said made sense, if he just retreated like this, Xia Jun would be able to make further progress.

Immediately, Cao Cao put forward his own opinion.

"Wen Ruo, I plan to personally lead the tiger and leopard cavalry to attack the Xixia army. What do you think?"

Upon hearing this, Xun Yu quickly began to dissuade him.

Cao Cao was very unhappy when he saw this.

Xun Yu saw that Cao Cao's expression was wrong, but he did not stop his persuasion, because if Cao Cao was in danger alone, once the Xia army captured him, the Wei Dynasty would be completely ruined. Even if Cao Ang could inherit the throne, his

His ability cannot be completely equal to that of Cao Cao, and the current situation is also besieged on all sides.

After Cao Cao listened to Xun Yu's persuasion, he still refused to give up.

"If I don't send troops, how about someone else?"

Xun Yu thought for a while and immediately said that this was no problem.

Upon hearing this, Cao Cao immediately thought of Cao Chun, because he was the only one who could stand alone.

Immediately, Cao Cao summoned Cao Chun to see him.

Cao Chun was ordered to quickly rush to Cao Cao's side.

When Cao Chun arrived at Cao Cao's side, he immediately saluted.

At this time, Cao Cao made his plans clear to Cao Chun.

After hearing this, Cao Chun immediately patted his chest and expressed that he had no problem.

Upon seeing this, Cao Cao reminded: "Zihe, the Xia army is coming with bad intentions. You need to be more careful. If nothing can be done, you can retreat quickly."

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, the general will have his own measure."

After handing over to Cao Chun, Cao Cao asked Cao Chun to order the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry and the rest of the cavalry to prepare for the expedition.

Soon, Cao Chun gathered more than 20,000 cavalry and left Julu County.

Not long after Cao Chun's troops left Julu, Cao Xiu, who was released by Qin Qiong, returned to Julu County.

After entering the city, Cao Xiu immediately went to see Cao Cao.

When Cao Cao learned that Cao Xiu had returned, he went out in person to greet Cao Xiu.

When Cao Cao saw Cao Xiu outside the house, he immediately laughed: "My Cao family's Thousand Mile Horse is back!"

Hearing Cao Cao's words, Cao Xiu felt very ashamed.

Even so, Cao Xiu still stepped forward and saluted.

Cao Cao helped Cao Xiu up and quickly asked about his physical condition.

After Cao Xiu showed his situation one by one, Cao Cao said with a smile: "As expected of my Cao family's thousand-mile horse, he was unscathed in the chaos of the army."

After hearing this, Cao Xiu realized that it was time for him to tell the truth. If Cao Cao were allowed to continue talking, he would probably commit suicide in shame.

Immediately afterwards, Cao Xiu interrupted Cao Cao.

Cao Cao was very confused when he saw this.

"Wen Lie, do you have something to say?"

Cao Xiu pondered for a long time before telling the truth.

After Cao Cao heard what Cao Xiu said, he was also stunned for a moment, but soon, Cao Cao told Cao Xiu not to take it to heart.

"Wen Lie, you were defeated at the hands of Qin Shubao. This battle is not unfair. Qin Shubao is a fierce general who once fought with me on the battlefield."

After hearing Cao Cao's comfort, Cao Xiu felt very aggrieved, and he secretly vowed to avenge his previous shame.

When Cao Cao saw Cao Xiu clenching his fist, he immediately understood, but he didn't say anything more. How far Cao Xiu could grow could only depend on his luck.

At this time, Cao Xiu remembered that he still had something to say to Cao Cao.

Immediately, Cao Xiu said: "Your Majesty, I still have some words to convey to Qin Shubao."

"Oh? Please follow me into the room and listen to what Qin Shubao says."

After Cao Xiu agreed, the two entered the house and sat down.

Then, Cao Xiu conveyed Qin Qiong's words to Cao Cao.

After hearing what Cao Xiu conveyed, Cao Cao was completely stunned.

Cao Xiu always felt a little uneasy when he saw this.

After a while, Cao Cao finally spoke: "Wen Lie, then Qin Shubao let you go just to let you bring these words to me?"

"Your Majesty, that is indeed the case!"

After confirming, Cao Cao laughed because he understood Qin Qiong's meaning.

Cao Xiu was very confused when he saw this, but he didn't dare to ask questions.

Finally, after Cao Cao laughed, he motioned to Cao Xiu to go down and rest.

Cao Xiu was ordered to retreat.

At this time, Cao Cao sighed with emotion: "I remember that I once recruited Wang Kai and his entourage Qin Qiong, but now it is Wang Kai's entourage who persuades me to surrender. In this world, there is a cause and an effect. It's a pity that I, Cao Mengde, can't

He is a person who is willing to be inferior to others."

After sighing with emotion, Cao Cao put aside Qin Qiong's persuasion to surrender.

Then turn to Qin Qiong.

While the army marched towards Julu, Qin Qiong's good news was also delivered to Wang Kai.

When Wang Kai learned that Qin Qiong and the others had won a great victory and captured Boluojin in one fell swoop, he was so happy that he couldn't open his mouth from ear to ear.

"With just one gram of Boluojin, Qin Shubao's army can march directly to Julu County. It seems that our army will soon capture Guangping County and march directly to Julu County."

The next day.

Wang Kai ordered another strong attack on Guangping County.

When Guangping defenders Cao Zhang and Zhang Yan saw that the Xia army was attacking again, they led their troops to continue to hold on.

Then turn back to Qin Qiong.

When Qin Qiong led his troops to march towards Julu, Cao Chun's cavalry scouts finally discovered the traces of the Xixia army.

Soon, the Northern Wei scouts returned to Cao Chun and reported.

After listening to the reports of the scouts, Cao Chun suddenly sighed: "It seems that it is an impossible task to succeed in this battle."

The helpless Cao Chun immediately led his troops to evacuate, because if they continued to entangle the Xia army, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry would probably be wiped out.

Within three days, Cao Chun's troops returned to Julu.

As Cao Chun led his troops into the city, Cao Cao soon received the news.

When he learned that Cao Chun would be back so soon, he had a bad feeling in his heart.

In the end, his inner premonition came true, because Cao Chun did not take action at all after seeing the Xixia army. After all, Qin Qiong's tribe also had tens of thousands of people.

After Cao Cao learned about the enemy's situation, he summoned Xun Yu again for discussion.

When Xun Yu learned that the Xia army was approaching the border, he once again advocated withdrawing his troops.
