Volume 2 Chapter 797 Cao Ren¡¯s Defeat

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    As for the Lu brothers, to put it bluntly, they are not important people, let alone people that Cao Cao likes.  After all, Cao Cao has always admired loyal ministers like Guan Yu, rather than repetitive villains like the Lu brothers. Even if the Lu brothers took refuge in him and helped Cao Cao a lot, Cao Cao would not like it or not. This is subjective.  Their feelings cannot be changed, so if these two people die, they will die. It's no big deal, Cao Cao won't care.  As long as the result of defeating Liu Bei and capturing Xinye remains unchanged, then Cao Ren will have completed his mission, and the process is also not what Cao Cao cares about.  Therefore, for a while, Cao Ren and Li Dian held their own opinions and argued endlessly.  But although Li Dian can be regarded as a general in Cao's camp, not to mention that the coach this time is Cao Ren, let's say that Cao Ren is a relative of the Cao family, but Li Dian is just an outsider. Looking at this alone, Li Dian  There was nothing Dian could do against Cao Ren.  So, in the end, Cao Ren "persuaded" Li Dian, or Li Dian had to agree with Cao Ren's opinion.  Liu Bei decided to continue attacking Xinye first. After winning the battle, he would report back to Cao Cao and ask Cao Cao to decide how to attack Liu Biao in Jingzhou next!  At this moment, Cao Ren's biggest mistake cannot actually be said to be too arrogant, but that after the Lu brothers were defeated and died, they had not noticed that there was a person like Xu Shu on Liu Bei's side.  You are just a confidant, so you are confident, that's right, but if you don't know the enemy well enough, if you still look at Liu Bei with the same eyes as three days ago, you will naturally make a big mistake.  "If Cao Ren can take a moment to slow down a little, not be so impatient, and wait until the investigation is clear before attacking Xinye."  The result may be different, at least with Cao Ren's consistent performance.  It shouldn't be a big defeat in the end.  But at this time, Cao Ren wanted to hide it from Cao Cao.  If it slows down for a while, even if Cao Ren doesn't say it himself, the news will definitely reach Cao Cao. Is it possible to hide this kind of thing!  Therefore, Cao Ren couldn't wait and wanted to go to war immediately.  So the final result is naturally self-evident!  Xu Shu had no plan left and was sure that Cao Ren would attack urgently, so he initially adopted a defensive stance.  Moreover, Xu Shu also expected that even if Cao Ren didn't take Xinye directly as soon as he arrived, Cao Ren would definitely continue to fight and would not be able to return to Fancheng in a short time.  In other words, at this time, Fancheng is empty, but it is a great opportunity to seize Fancheng!  I have to say that Xu Shu was indeed a knight-errant in the past.  Some of the strategies and ideas are not unreasonable, but they are definitely quite bold.  At this time when the enemy is strong and we are weak, people usually only think about how to defend Cao Ren's attack.  Xu Shu actually wanted to divide his troops and take advantage of the weakness to attack.  Such a risky move, even Guo Jia, if he didn't know the history.  He didn't even dare to do it.  In the end, Xu Shu did just that!  Over here, Cao Ren comes with his troops.  In the first battle, they attacked with all their strength, but were blocked by Liu Bei's side who held firm.  So both sides temporarily stopped their troops and returned to the stronghold.  Get things in order.  At this time, Li Dian saw that Liu Bei could not be captured despite all his efforts, so he couldn't help but suggest: "That army is elite and we should not underestimate the enemy. It is better to return to Fancheng." Needless to say, Cao Ren was immediately furious. The war has just begun, and you are shouting to retreat.  , You are simply slowing down our military morale, and you should be punished with death!  If Li Dian had not been a general, he might have been killed by Cao Ren.  Of course, if Li Dian was not a general, he probably would not dare to directly oppose Cao Ren like this.  As a result, Cao Ren did not give up and attacked again another day.  But this time, Cao Ren got up to his tricks and created an eight-door golden lock array that Guo Jia had also used back then.  Haha, isn't this funny? Guo Jia himself has no idea what the eight-door golden lock formation is about. Cao Ren wants to learn from Guo Jia. Can he learn the essence?  And, the most crucial point is, who was Guo Jia¡¯s opponent back then?  Who is Cao Ren's opponent now?  At this time, even if it were Guo Jia, using Guo Jia's reputation to intimidate the enemy, Guo Jia's bluff in front of Xu Shu would probably not be effective.  Sure enough, although Liu Bei and others were really shocked when they saw the Eight-Door Golden Lock Formation opposite, after all, the name of the Eight-Door Golden Lock Formation alone was enough to scare people.  But Xu Shu pointed out at a glance, "Although the eight gates are neatly arranged today, the middle is not connected to the host. If you attack someone from the Shangsheng Gate in the southeast corner and go out from the Jingmen in the west, the formation will be chaotic." So Cao Renxin  The eight-door golden lock array that he had worked so hard to put up was broken by Xu Shu.  Cao Ren's self-confidence was greatly hit, and this time, Cao Ren finally came to his senses a little. Liu Bei was not as easy to beat as he thought. At the same time, Cao Ren finally discovered that Liu Bei had capable people, otherwise how could he see through him?  The eight-door golden lock array?  !  So Cao Ren inquired and got the name of Liu Bei's new military advisor, a single picture.  I don¡¯t know who it is, I¡¯ve never heard of it before. It was a pseudonym Xu Shu gave him after he committed a crime.  However, even at this time, Cao Ren was still unwilling to give up.The reporter said that he was riding a tiger and was unable to get off.  Now, are you going to retreat and report back to Cao Cao?  Just kidding, wouldn't this be more embarrassing and a failure than reporting back to Cao Cao in the first place?  Cao Ren, is he willing?  So, that night, Cao Ren sneaked in to attack the camp again. Unfortunately, Xu Shu saw through it and beat him back.  At the same time, there was an emergency in Fancheng. When Cao Ren got the news, he was shocked and led troops back to help overnight.  As a result, when crossing the river, he was attacked by Zhang Fei. Cao Ren fought to the death, and successfully crossed the river under the protection of Li Dian. However, by this time, Cao Ren had lost most of his army, including those who died, those who were wounded, and those who fled.  But when they finally arrived in front of Fancheng, they saw a drum sound from the city, and a general led the army out, shouting: "I have captured Fancheng for a long time!" It was Guan Yunchang.  Cao Ren was shocked, turned his horse and ran away. Guan Yu was chasing after him. Cao Ren lost many men and horses and fled back to the vicinity of Nanyang. It was finally safe.  In this battle, Cao Ren not only failed to defeat Liu Bei in the new field, but also lost two generals, the Lu brothers, but also lost the frontline stronghold Fancheng. It could be said that it was an absolute defeat. He was beaten like a dog and looked as dejected as a dog.  Cao Ren's defeated army did not stop in Nanyang, but rushed back to Xudu, wept on the ground and apologized to Cao Cao.  To be honest, although Xu Shu was responsible for this defeat, Cao Ren must bear most of the responsibility.  If it were not Cao Ren who commanded the army this time, but other generals with foreign surnames, no matter who they were, although Cao Cao would not directly kill the people, they would definitely demote them and let them perform meritorious service in front of the battle line.  As a result, Cao Cao said that victory or defeat is a normal matter for military strategists, and this defeat was not Cao Ren's problem. He blamed all the reasons on that single figure who appeared out of nowhere.  There is no other way. Since the destruction of the Yuan family, the unification of the north, and the defeat of Guo Jia, Cao Cao has once again focused on the Cao family, rather than focusing on more capable generals with foreign surnames.  The Cao clan must be given absolute military power to ensure the loyalty of all parties.  In the past, it was about fighting external enemies, but now it is about maintaining internal stability.  Therefore, an important figure like Cao Ren must not be easily demoted.  Nanyang, "Oh, Cao Ren is defeated. Close the door. During this period, anyone who comes to me will say that I am not here." (To be continued)
