"snort!"
Cao Cao snorted coldly and looked away.
However, he did not give special instructions to the soldiers, so it was regarded as an agreement.
Xiahou Dun first helped Xiahou Yuan up and then told him.
"King Wei, I just said that returning with Miaocai will not affect the army."
"Those who should be defeated will still be defeated, but it will never be like this minister and Miaocai!"
Cao Cao turned his head and glared at Xiahou Dun.
"Why, is it still reasonable to flee before the battle?"
Xiahou Dun shook his head.
"If something can be done, I and Miaocai should fight to the death! But if something can't be done, if you stay, you will just lose your life in vain!"
"I dare to ask the King of Wei, do you want me and Miaocai to die on the front line in a meaningless battle, or do you want to seize the opportunity to save your life and contribute to the future fight against Liu Zhang?"
Cao Cao was silent.
Although he was angry that the two of them had fled before the battle, he was not willing to let them die in battle.
Xu Chu is dead, Zhang He's life and death are unknown, and the number of Wei's fierce generals has dropped sharply!
This made the relationship between the already imbalanced number of powerful generals in Qin even greater.
In this Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan was extremely brave and commanded an army very well.
He is a rare general with great talent!
Cao Cao was just angry for a moment, how could he really kill the two of them.
Seeing that Cao Cao had softened, Xiahou Dun quickly pulled Xiahou Yuan along and bowed his head to salute.
"King Wei, my ministers and Miaocai have been on the battlefield for a long time and have experienced countless battles. How can they escape back in such a reckless manner?"
"Therefore, the two of us found the right time and returned to King Wei without anyone noticing."
"If you don't believe King Wei, you can look ahead. Is the army likely to collapse immediately?"
Cao Cao looked around and saw that it was exactly what Xiahou Dun said.
Although the Wei army was at a disadvantage, many soldiers began to flee.
But overall it did not turn into a situation where the entire army fled.
This means that what Xiahou Dun said is generally true.
But who is Cao Cao? He is a typical person who knows his mistakes and corrects them but does not admit them!
No matter what, he won't admit his problem.
He waved his hand gently to signal the soldiers to retreat, and then cursed dissatisfiedly.
"Even so, running away from battle is a grave sin."
"No matter what reasons you have, you can't hide this fact!"
Hearing this, Xia Houyuan breathed a sigh of relief.
"King Wei, the two of us are willing to be punished. We just hope that this punishment will be after helping King Wei get out of danger!"
Cao Cao nodded helplessly.
"Yuan Rang, Miaocai, is the war ahead irreversible?"
They both shook their heads at the same time.
"The King of Wei is wise and mighty. He should know that Zhang He and Gao Lian know how cruel the disaster these two idiots have brought to us!"
"It seems that the two of us are here just to let King Wei prepare early!"
Hearing this, the anger on Cao Cao's face almost disappeared.
If you think about it from the perspective of Xiahou Dun and Xia Houyuan, they did nothing wrong.
Even if Cao Cao went to the battle in person, he couldn't do more.
It's true that his pig-like subordinates have tricked him so badly!
"Hey! Did it just fail like this?"
Cao Cao was still unwilling.
The front is at a disadvantage, but there won't be any disruptive changes for a while.
Although the situation at the rear was unknown, it did not appear to be a collapse or defeat.
Generally speaking, the situation is not at the point where one should immediately consider life and death or how to escape.
The most important thing is that once you escape, you need to keep the army here to confront the Qin army, so that you have a high probability of escaping.
If the army is thrown here, the only outcome will be annihilation.
How could Cao Cao be willing to throw tens of thousands of troops here like garbage?
Although Wei State has seven states including the Central Plains and Hebei Province, with a population of tens of millions, the domestic population ratio has already been seriously imbalanced!
With a big family and a big business, Cao Cao couldn't help being so prodigal!
If this continues, Wei's internal conflicts will be enough to overthrow the Cao family without Liu Zhang taking action.
Xiahou Dun had followed Cao Cao for a long time, and he could see his worries at a glance, and he quickly tried to persuade him.
"King Wei, you must stop being rebellious! If you are reluctant to let go now, your army will collapse and it will be too late to escape!"
"Moreover, when the war has reached this point, does King Wei still want to escape unscathed?"
"Even if you stay here all the time, you can't take the soldiers and horses with you, and you will still be destroyed by the Qin army!"
Cao Cao's eyes widened and his spirit trembled.
Xiahou Dun's words were like a blow to the head, knocking Cao Cao awake completely.
It's so naive to still think about protecting the soldiers now!
"Yuan Rang, you are right, you are lonely and indecisive..."
"King Wei, make a decision as soon as possible!"
Cao Cao nodded firmly.
"This way, stay..."
Just as they were about to arrange the forces left behind to resist and assist in the escape, a rapid shout came over.
"Report...!"
I saw a soldier running hastily from the rear army, looking extremely anxious!
"Report...!"
"King Wei, urgent report from the rear!"
Cao Cao's eyes twitched crazily, and he cursed in his heart that he was really afraid of what he was doing.
Just now I thought Cao Ren defended well, but now something went wrong!
"what happened!"
"Reporting to the King of Wei, General Cao Ren said that the rear army cannot withstand it anymore, so let the King of Wei make arrangements early!"
"What!"
Cao Cao, who was originally calm, suddenly became panicked.
Cao Ren is different from Xiahou Dun and others, but he is still relatively reliable.
He said he couldn't hold it anymore and was afraid that the army would collapse at any time!
"King Wei, don't hesitate! Once the rear army is broken through, everything will be over!"
Xia Houyuan also quickly stepped forward to persuade.
"Yes, King Wei, if you keep the green hills, you won't have to worry about running out of firewood!"
"Let's go first! It won't be too late to return to Yecheng to reorganize our troops and fight Liu Zhang decisively!"
"Why...!"
Cao Cao sighed sadly.
Once we leave, it's completely over.
But if I don’t leave, are I waiting to die?
"King Wei, don't worry. This battle is not going to be defeated by our army. It is really Liu Zhang who is insidious and Zhou Yu who is treacherous!"
"Next time we open up our battle formation with Liu Zhang in an upright and bloody battle, our army will definitely win head-on!"
Cao Cao raised his head and looked at Xiahou Dun in confusion.
"Yuan Rang, is it true?"
Xiahou Dun nodded repeatedly, fearing that Cao Cao would not believe it.
"Really! I must personally chop off Liu Zhang's head!"
"All right!"
Just as Cao Cao agreed, the situation on the battlefield suddenly changed.
The front army didn't know what happened, and the Wei soldiers began to flee in large numbers.
The rear army also started to flee at this time.
For a time, the defeated soldiers rushed towards Cao Cao.
Xiahou Dun did not dare to wait any longer, so he grabbed the reins of Cao Cao's horse and began to escape.
"King Wei, leave quickly!"
