Chapter 178 Guo Jia's legacy
After saying that, Guan Yu turned his eyebrows and said angrily again, and said Qinglong sword: "Don't leave, Guan is here."
Cheng Yu advised again: "My lord, please retreat quickly, otherwise after Guan Yu arrived, the lord and the generals would all be in different places."
Cao Cao was very decisive: "No, Dian Wei and General Xu Chu have definitely successfully captured Luoyang and captured Liu He's family. We will turn defeat into victory. How can we withdraw our troops at this time?"
"Oh, my lord is confused."
Cheng Yu was very anxious: "General Dian Wei clearly called out just now and wanted to return General Xu Chu to order him. Xu Chu died in battle. Seeing that General Dian Wei was also broken and was covered in wounds. There was no one in Pingshan Feijun, so how could he say that he had success?"
Cao Cao seemed to be possessed by a demon: "Impossible...Impossible, they must have succeeded, they must have succeeded..."
Seeing that Cheng Yu and others looked like this, they didn't know whether they should continue to persuade him.
At this time, a group of people suddenly appeared on the city gate ahead.
Originally, after Gao Shun led his troops to fight, there were basically no soldiers left behind in the pass, but now these people seem to have armor and weapons, and they are obviously soldiers.
When everyone was surprised, they saw one of them step forward, come to the city wall, and raise his hand and raise a head.
"I am a student of the Wushu School in Luoyang, the Great Han Dynasty. I am the same as Qin Lie. Now, under the order of the emperor, I will work with my brothers to fight against the thief and kill the rebels. Now I will hang the head of the thief Xu Chu at the city gate to serve as a warning to others!"
After saying that, he hooked Xu Chu's head with an iron hook rope and hung it directly on the city wall. The iron hook rope was not someone else's, but Xu Chu's close-up object. Before, he, Dian Wei and Pingshan Feijun, relying on this object to quickly climb up the towering Luoyang city wall.
Dian Wei was furious and wanted to run over immediately, untie the head of his comrade, and kill those enemies that he hated deeply. However, the fierce attacks that were already injured made Dian Wei have no time to care about anything else.
The moment Cao Cao saw Xu Chu's head, he was stunned. After a moment, he suddenly burst into tears.
"Ah... it's over... everything is gone... it's all..."
Guan Yu was overjoyed: "Haha, brother, everything is wrong. Cao Thief, what else do you say? Why don't you die quickly?"
In his hand, the Qinglong Yanyue Sword flew up and down. The Cao army soldiers who stood in front of him could not stand for one round and became the dead soul under the knife.
Seeing Guan Yu getting closer and closer to Cao Cao, Cao Hong and others became more and more anxious, but no matter how they persuaded him, Cao Cao seemed to have made up his mind and did not plan to escape.
At this time, Guo Jia rushed over. He, who had always been weak, rode his horse and galloped for the short two or three miles, which made him panting.
"Hu... lord... things are still... huh... there is still a turning point..."
When Cao Cao heard Guo Jia's voice, his muddy and dim eyes immediately reappeared a little bit of brilliance.
"There is a powerful plan to turn the tide?"
Cao Cao grabbed Guo Jia's shoulder with a look of desire on his face.
Guo Jia took a deep breath, letting his face slightly recover, and then he spoke.
"Don't worry, lord, Wenhe said he had thought of a way to deal with it, so that he could protect the lord and the soldiers of the three armies.
"Okay, Wenhe really lives up to expectations."
Cao Cao was overjoyed, looked around and asked, "Why didn't Wenhe come with you?"
Guo Jia said: "Mr. Jia said that his strategy cannot turn the defeat into victory in this battle. Therefore, the lord must retreat and break through first, and calm down, and then explain it one by one on the way back."
Cao Cao's face darkened: "Retreat? Liu He and Liu Bei have caused us to suffer such a great humiliation. Yuan Rang, Miaocai, and Zihe have all died in battle. Now I want me to retreat?"
Guo Jia had long expected Cao Cao's reaction, so he said slowly: "The lord should not take advantage of the courage of an ordinary man. Liu He was able to set up such a backup plan with Liu Bei more than ten years ago, and arranged for Tian Feng and Shen Pei to follow Liu Bei to Xuzhou to assist. This person is so scheming and far-reaching. Our army should be defeated. Even if Sun Wu is reborn, he will be able to live in this defeat."
"You..." Cao Cao was a little angry and embarrassed.
Guo Jia was abnormal and did not give Cao Cao a chance to refute, directly interrupting him: "However, victory or defeat is a common thing for military strategists. The lord has the ambition of Kunpeng. How could he be defeated and then sink into depravity from then on?"
He changed his subject and continued, "The generals died in battle. Is there such a deep hatred? Do you want to avenge me?"
When the hatred was mentioned, Cao Cao's face immediately felt hatred: "This hatred is irreconcilable, how can I forget it?"
"This is coming." Guo Jia's tone was a little raised, and he felt a little regretful that he was not strong enough.
"If our army continues to fight, I am afraid that no one of the soldiers, including the lord, will be spared by noon before the sun is over. They will either die before the Huzhu Pass or become prisoners of Liu He. How can we take revenge and regain the situation?"
After some scolding, he saw Cao Cao calm down a little, and was happy and quickly struck while the iron was hot.
"The lord is a hero of the world. How can he be defeated and unable to recover? Our army still has capital. If we can break through and leave, there may not be a time for a comeback in the future. After this battle, although the northern lands were owned by Liu He, the southern states could still make a difference. After our army withdrew from Jingzhou, we would appease the gentry and recuperate. With the natural chasm of the Yangtze River, we could withstand the situation of the Northern Army for several years. During this period, we would recruit soldiers and fight for the distance and attack nearby, and there would be no day to avenge our shame."
After hearing Guo Jia's words, Cao Cao was immediately energetic and filled with fighting spirit.
"Okay, just saying filial piety is like enlightenment. Where is the filial piety of a child?"
"The last one is here!" Cao Ren cried with joy.
"I ordered you to quickly gather the army and break south immediately."
"The last general will receive the order!"
Cao Cao breathed a sigh of relief, grabbed Guo Jia's hand, and praised: "I have filial piety, and there is no worries about the world."
Guo Jia said humbly: "The lord is too good, Jia is just a small man. After breaking through, he still has to rely on Mr. Jia Xu's plan, otherwise he will still be all disciples..."
Before the word "Lao" was said, Guo Jia's face suddenly changed drastically. He stared at Cao Cao's back and seemed to have seen something terrifying.
Seeing his expression changing drastically, Cao Cao was about to ask questions, but Guo Jia suddenly grabbed him with both hands and pushed him hard.
"The lord goes away..."
Guo Jia, who has always been weak, came from somewhere, and this huge force actually pushed Cao Cao, who had been in war for many years, away.
"Fengxiao, you..."
As soon as Cao Cao called out his name, he heard a sound of breaking through the air and his face turned pale immediately.
"Swoosh..."
A sharp arrow flew over, impartially, passing through Guo Jia's chest, causing a splatter of blood to splash.
Cao Cao's mind went blank, and then suddenly burst out. He stepped forward and hugged the fallen Guo Jia, with tears on his face.
Cao Hong hurriedly took five thousand personal guards and surrounded Cao Cao and others.
More than a hundred steps away, Ye Xiang tilted his mouth and lowered the long bow in his hand, full of unwillingness.
"What a pity, this opportunity to win the first prize in this battle was missed like this. It seems that a family does not have such a blessing."
He was also able to see it openly. After sighing, he picked up the Fire Dragon Spear and threw it into the battle.
Cao Cao cried bitterly and was extremely sad.
"I am filial piety, my filial piety... I feel so painful..."
Ye Xiang's arrow was extraordinary, not to mention that within such a close distance, the arrow penetrated his body directly and shot out from his back. The blood flowed from the two wounds in front and back. Guo Jia's face turned pale almost at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"You are filial to you... If you leave me, Cao Cao, who will I ask for advice in the future?"
Guo Jia's face was initially very painful, but soon, a trace of clarity flashed in his eyes. He used his last strength to hold Cao Cao's hands tightly.
"Master...I thought of it, I thought of it..."
Cao Cao was a little confused, so he said: "Don't say too much when you are filial piety, it is important to have a good rest."
Guo Jia shook his head: "No... Ye Xiang's name as the god of arrow is definitely not a false news. My subordinate... cough cough... My subordinate knew that he would die, and he just returned to the scene. The spiritual platform was clear and he just figured out what Mr. Jia Xu said."
Cao Cao's heart was shattered: "How to solve it?"
Guo Jia couldn't wait to say: "As the situation is today, Liu Bei's Qingxu two prefectures are also occupied by Liu He, only Yizhou Liu Yan, Jiangdong Sun family, Jiaozhou Shixie, and our army Jingzhou, cough cough..."
He spoke so quickly that he couldn't breathe in one breath. Cao Cao gently stroked his back and straightened his breath.
"This time, more than half of our army was injured, and most of the generals were killed. Moreover, the soldiers in Jingzhou were disconnected, and it was a situation of death. If you want to change such a situation by yourself alone, there would be no good strategy. Mr. Wenhe talked about this matter with me before, and now hesitated. Now that he thinks, he must have no good methods. The so-called trick is just a strategy to endure humiliation and bear heavy burdens."
When Cao Cao heard this, he was a little sad at first, and then he became determined.
"But if you can avenge your grudge today, no matter how humiliated you are, Cao will be willing to accept it."
When Guo Jia heard this, he showed a look of relief: "Okay... lord... lord... lord can have such ambition, even if Jia dies, I will make sure that Mr. Wenhe will give it to Sun Ce as a favor, which has long been separated from his destiny and virtue, so as to save his life.
"Sun Jian in Jiangdong was newly destroyed, and Sun Ce and Liu He also had an irreconcilable hatred. Moreover, he was young and strong, and he won Jingzhou without any effort. He would be complacent. In less than two or three years, he would have to fight the north. If the lord could... cough cough... if he could temporarily stay in his account and gain his trust, he would command a military force in the future, fight Liu He again, rebuild his reputation, and then wait for an opportunity to regain power, and... cough cough... it is unknown... cough cough... it is not known... cough cough..."
This strategy sounds simple, but it is terrifying, and it caused a shocking wave in the hearts of Cao Cao and others.
But Cao Cao was a hero for life after all, so he quickly calmed down.
"I just hate Sun Ce's stubbornness and may not trust me easily. What if I do?"
Guo Jia laughed bitterly: "Liu Yan, Yizhou, is about to die. This time he ordered Zhang Ren to lead the army to the north and enter Hanzhong. Now Yizhou is empty. After the lord retreats to Jingzhou, Sun Ce will definitely soon come to the city. After the lord presents the city for him, he volunteers to conquer Yizhou for the Sun family. Sun Ce will definitely send a general commander, and the lord will command our army's original troops and horses to attack Xichuan."
Cheng Yu, who was standing beside him, nodded: "Well, in this way, he can get the land of Yizhou, test the sincerity of the lord, and consume the Yan and Yu troops under the lord's command. If he rashly kills the lord, he will only end up being in a bad reputation that cannot be tolerated, and it will be even more difficult to subdue the hearts of tens of thousands of old subordinates of our army. With such a method of filial piety, Sun Ce has veterans such as Cheng Pu, as well as Zhou Yu and Lu Su as his think tank, he will definitely do this."
Guo Jia continued: "After capturing Yizhou, the lord immediately handed over the military power and returned to Jiangdong alone. In this way, even if Sun Ce did not fully trust his lord, he would believe it 70% to 80%. The lord has been planning the world for many years, and his strategy and insights are definitely not something that Sun Ce, Zhou Yu and others can do, but it is not without a chance to be able to stay dormant for several years, act according to the opportunity, and to regain power."
Cao Cao's eyes shining brightly: "Okay, okay, at that time, I held Yi, Jing, Yang, and seized Jiaozhou again. With the four states, I might not have been able to compete with Liu He for the capital of the world."
Seeing that his lord had recovered his fighting spirit, Guo Jia looked happy and the breath that was forced to vent his anger instantly. He grabbed Cao Cao's hand and sagged with a loud bang.
"Fengxiaowa..."
"System prompt: Before Guo Jia dies, he activates the new special stunt 's plan' - the strategy left before his death. After using it, he will increase the lord's intelligence by 5 points and reduce the intelligence of all enemies by 2 points."
"Guo Jia triggered the special stunt 'remain plan', which increased Cao Cao's intelligence by 5 points, and reduced the host and all civil and military officials under the host's command by 2 points."
"Cao Cao's basic force is 94 points, triggers the special stunt 'treacherous hero', improves all attributes by 2 points, and currently has 101 points of comprehensive intelligence."
Cao Ren commanded the remaining 40,000 to 50,000 troops from the Cao army. Under the joint attack of the Han army and the Jingzhou soldiers who were fighting and rebelling against the war, he retreated and broke through with difficulty.
Just now, when Ye Xiang shot Cao Cao's arrow, Dian Wei's attention was attracted. When he was distracted, he was being slashed with a fierce knife in the middle of the lower abdomen.
Immediately afterwards, when he learned about Cheng Liang's death just now, Zhu Ye, who was furious, rode his horse and smashed Dian Wei's head with a hammer.
Dameng looked at the Beast King mount of Cheng Liang, who had been dead for a long time, and then looked at the body of his childhood friend. His mind was swollen. He threw the machete and sat on the ground, crying loudly.
Cui Jun felt a little unbearable and wanted to come forward to comfort him, but Liu He stopped him.
"Oh..." Liu He shook his head: "Let him go. Dameng has always been innocent and has undergone drastic changes today. If he doesn't cry hard, he will be crazy in the future."
While he was talking, Liu He's body suddenly fell. Fortunately, he had extraordinary martial arts skills. Before he landed, he jumped and stood safely two steps away.
Looking closely, it was the Black King who finally couldn't hold on and his huge body fell to the ground.
The tears in Liu He's eyes were filled with tears, but they couldn't fall: "Third brother... Black King... you all left... and left me..."
He turned his head blankly and looked at Cao Cao, murmured to himself: "Meng De, Meng De, although I win today and you lose, I feel so much pity with you at this moment..."
