"Why is Zhongda so panicked?"
Cao Pi said with a smile.
"The four generals Xia Houyuan fell into an ambush by Liu Bei. Liu Bei set off a huge fire and destroyed our army..."
Sima Yi said with a bitter smile.
"What?!"
Cao Pi never expected that his sweet dream would be shattered not even a moment after he started it!
While he was in a daze, the disgraced Xia Houyuan and others also helped each other in.
"Your Majesty, we...were defeated..."
Cao Ren said with some shame.
Cao Pi hoped to make a comeback and surpass Yang Ling's reputation.
But I didn't expect that Cao Ren and the others would be defeated so miserably, almost the whole army was wiped out!
When Cao Cao arrives later, how can he have the dignity to see his father?
In anger, he couldn't help but cursed,
"You are so incompetent!"
As soon as these words came out, Cao Ren and the others' expressions changed!
"Nephew Zihuan, you ordered us to pursue you. Can you blame us for this?"
Cao Hong looked quite unhappy.
Feeling the displeased looks from the other three uncles, Cao Pi finally woke up and knew that something was wrong with what he said.
"Four uncles and nephews don't mean that..."
Cao Pi laughed dryly and was about to explain something when he heard shouts of death coming from outside.
"what's the situation?!"
He couldn't help but asked.
Before the soldiers on the left and right went out to check, they saw Cao Pi's confidant Wu Zhi running in, crawling on the ground.
"Your Majesty, something bad has happened. Liu Bei's army has invaded the city!"
Not to mention Cao Pi, even Sima Yi and the others were shocked!
Although they were defeated just now, there are still nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses in the city.
The city gate was closed, how did Liu Bei's army attack?
"They are the remnants of the soldiers brought back by the generals!"
Wu Zhi shouted!
Xiahou Dun and others were stunned and suddenly realized.
It turned out that when Cao Jun was disoriented by the fire, Zhuge Liang ordered his soldiers to put on Cao Jun's clothes and blend into Xiahou Yuan's team.
Due to the urgency of the matter, Xia Houyuan was afraid that Liu Bei and others would pursue him, so he withdrew to the city without having time to count the number of people.
After Liu Bei's soldiers sneaked into the city, they immediately took action and captured the city gate.
Liu Bei's army waiting outside the city quickly came over and killed them.
Thanks to the internal and external cooperation, Liu Bei has now captured most of Wancheng!
"hiss……"
Cao Pi and others all took a deep breath.
Who is it that is giving advice to Liu Bei? A series of tricks made Cao Jun dizzy!
"Your Majesty, we have to withdraw!"
Sima Yi was the first to come to his senses and said in a deep voice.
After a major defeat, Cao's army had very few troops left and its morale was even lower.
It is almost impossible to recapture the city from Liu Bei's army.
It's better to retreat first and then plan for it slowly!
"good!"
Cao Pi was also a little afraid of death, so he quickly nodded in agreement!
As Cao Pi led his people out of the city, the entire Wancheng fell into Liu Bei's hands.
Although he won a big victory, Zhuge Liang did not rush to order a pursuit, but just let Cao Pi and others leave.
Wancheng County Government.
"This time we were able to capture Wancheng effortlessly, and the military advisor really deserves the most credit!"
For so many years, Liu Bei was chased by Cao Cao and Yang Ling in an embarrassing situation.
A great victory today, but the haze of the past has been swept away!
Even Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, who had previously had strong opinions on Zhuge Liang, were full of admiration at this time.
Burning Cao's army alone may not be considered shocking, but immediately sending people to change into Cao's army's clothes and sneak into the city is definitely a masterstroke.
"My lord, you are too flattering."
Zhuge Liang smiled softly and looked up to the far north, his eyes full of fighting intent.
To him, a mere Cao Pi was no big deal.
The real opponent is Yang Ling who burned Zhuge Lu and snatched away Huang Yueying!
…
Whenever Dian Wei, Xu Chu, Gan Ning and others took a bath, Yang Ling would always invite them to have a gathering together.
On this day, Yang Ling cooked in person and prepared a table full of dishes.
Gan Ning, Huang Zhong, Zhao Yun and others also arrived one after another.
However, they waited and waited, but did not see Xu Chu, who was resting today, arrive.
It wasn't until the food was cold that I saw him coming in a hurry.
"I'm so sorry, brother, everyone!"
Xu Chu clasped his fists and said apologetically,
"I'm busy with official duties today, so I'm delayed."
"That's not right, Xu Zhongkang, you are taking a break today, why do you have official duties?"
Gan Ning said strangely.
Xu Chu hesitated for a moment and then said,
"This is not a secret. You will probably know it soon."
He paused and continued,
"An urgent report has been sent from Wancheng. The crown prince was defeated by Liu Bei and Wancheng was lost!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone present was stunned!
"Brother Ziyi really got it right!"
Gan Ning said with a shocked expression.
When Yang Ling predicted that Cao Pi would be defeated, they were still a little skeptical.
But I didn’t expect it to come true so quickly!
Yang Ling was not too surprised, but asked,
"What exactly happened?"
Xu Chu then slowly told everyone about the battle in Wancheng.
"When Brother Chu Ziyi said that Zhuge Liang was so wise that he was almost a demon, I didn't believe it. I didn't expect him to be so powerful."
Gan Ning pursed his lips and said.
"This is nothing, it's just that the prince is a little careless."
Xu Chu looked a little disapproving.
"You can't say that. He figured out the prince's psychology in advance and was able to inspire the general to succeed. This is also his strength."
Huang Zhong shook his head and said.
Yang Ling couldn't help but sigh.
After all, it's Zhuge Kongming. He doesn't care if he doesn't take action. Once he does, it's like thunder!
It's just a pity that tens of thousands of Cao's troops will be ruined in vain because of the idiot Cao Pi!
"But having said that, the prince has been defeated so miserably, do we have a chance to take action?"
Gan Ning touched his chin and gloated a little.
"I'm afraid there is no chance."
Yang Ling shrugged his shoulders.
The reason why Cao Cao didn't let him take action this time was because he didn't want to make any more military exploits.
Otherwise, no matter how high the prestige is, it will be detrimental to Cao Pi's future succession.
Now that Cao Pi was defeated, if Yang Ling stepped in to defeat Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang, where would Cao Pi's face be?
"As expected, Duke Wei will take action himself."
Yang Ling said slowly.
"Brother is right. Wei Gong is indeed planning to take action personally and has specially started to prepare for the war."
"That's why I delayed."
Xu Chu explained.
"If Duke Wei takes action, everything should be safe."
Gan Ning smiled.
But Yang Ling didn't think so.
If Boss Cao was so effective, he would not have been burned to death by Zhuge Liang in Bowangpo and Xinye City.
However, he just smiled faintly and did not say what was in his heart.
…
After Cao Pi was defeated and lost Wancheng, Xudu was shocked!
You must know that Wancheng is only more than 200 kilometers away from Xudu. If the cavalry troops work hard, they can kill them in two days at most!
