Han camp, the Chinese army commander's tent.
The army that attacked the fortresses on both wings of Liaodong returned, and the coach Zhao Yun also returned to the commander's tent.
However, judging from his downcast expression, it was enough to show that the battle last night was not going well.
Eight thousand soldiers attacked in two groups, but achieved nothing.
It really makes people grit their teeth and secretly hate it.
I thought that this battle could achieve huge gains and completely establish the victory in the Liaodong battle.
But looking at it now, it's obvious that I've thought too much.
Not only that, a failed sneak attack would result in considerable losses.
"General Qi!"
A soldier entered the tent and came to report the situation.
"The left wing lost more than 100 people, and the right wing lost more than 200 people."
Zhao Yun frowned and waved his hand gently.
The soldiers did not dare to delay and quickly retreated.
"Nearly four hundred people..."
Zhao Yun murmured.
Four hundred people may not seem like many, but firstly, there are no gains, and secondly, every soldier is an elite, and it is extremely heartbreaking to lose one of them.
Coupled with such a perfect plan and the appearance of the right people at the right time and place, it is really depressing to not win despite all the blessings.
Fortunately, Zhao Yun has experienced hundreds of battles and has a relatively broad view of victory and defeat, otherwise he would have been furious.
"General Zhao, Cao Pi, and Cao Zhang would like to see you."
Zhao Yun's hand movements froze, and he responded after a moment.
"Let them in."
Soon, Cao Pi and his wife walked in.
"General Zhao!"
A warm greeting is regarded as a greeting.
Cao Pi always maintained his identity and did not bow to Zhao Yun.
Zhao Yun did not blame him for this.
"You two Mr. Cao, are you in trouble?"
Cao Pi and Cao Zhang looked at each other, and Cao Pi stepped forward slightly to hold their hands.
“I’m here to congratulate General Zhao on his great victory last night!”
"Last night there was a fire, and the Liaodong Army fled in panic. Only a hundred of the tens of thousands of people escaped!"
"General Zhao's plan is simply admirable!"
Zhao Yun nodded slightly.
The news of this victory had been known to him since he entered the camp, which was certainly something to be happy about.
But mixed with the news of last night's rudeness, it wasn't that exciting.
In Zhao Yun's view, the 10,000 Liaodong Army was not as good as his several hundred Han Army.
"Young Master Cao is exaggerating. I heard that these ten thousand people are common people who were forced to do so. They are not soldiers at all."
"If you can't even fight against the common people, wouldn't this be a dereliction of duty for me?"
"hehe..."
Cao Pi chuckled, pretending not to hear and continued to defend.
"No matter what, winning is winning."
"It is an indisputable fact that a few hundred soldiers and horses can defeat the 10,000 Liaodong Army!"
Zhao Yun is not making excuses either.
Hearing this sentence makes my heart feel quite comfortable.
"Does Mr. Cao have anything else to do?"
Seeing that Zhao Yun wanted to chase away the guests, Cao Pi nodded quickly.
"Yes! I heard that General Zhao personally attacked the Liaodong Fortress last night. I wonder what the result was?"
Zhao Yun's face suddenly darkened when he picked up which pot he didn't open.
Fortunately, he knew in his heart that Cao Pi did not know the situation of the war and would not deliberately laugh at him, so he did not get angry.
"The attack didn't go well last night. The fortresses on both wings are well-defended."
"The general failed to capture the enemy after a long attack, so he withdrew his troops and returned."
Lost!
These two words popped into Cao Pi's mind.
It can also be said that they are two words that are very much expected.
If he wins, nothing will happen to him in the future.
But if you lose, you still have a chance to perform.
"I see. I wonder if General Zhao has any plans for future deployment?"
Zhao Yun shook his head.
"We just lost the battle, so we are in a hurry to rest now. Let's talk about the rest later."
"General Zhao!"
Cao Pi was in a hurry. Now was the time to make a contribution, how could he wait?
"The plan proposed by my second brother Cao Zhang to defeat the enemy..."
Zhao Yun blinked and then understood Cao Pi's intention.
"Haha, it turns out that Mr. Cao is here for this matter."
"This plan should be discussed later, right?"
It seems to be a question, but in fact the answer has been given.
It's not that they don't trust Cao Pi, it's just that they just lost the battle and their morale is a bit low.
It would be extremely disadvantageous to go out to fight again.
"General Zhao!"
Cao Pi was unwilling to give in and continued to plead.
"This plan relies on Wang Lie's carelessness! Now that they have just won, it's time to be proud!"
"If you go this time, your chances of success will be significantly improved!"
"If the Liaodong Army relaxes as time goes by, it will be difficult to be cautious!"
"this..."
Zhao Yun hesitated.
In fact, Cao Pi didn't want much, and even all losses were not unacceptable.
However, placing hope on Cao Pi and Cao Zhang is a bit too hard to accept.
"Is General Zhao worried about me? Does General Zhao think that I, Cao Pi, will take the opportunity to surrender to Wang Lie?"
"Then Wang Lie and Gongsun Kang have tricked our brothers like this. Even if they were skinned and cramped, it would still be hard to quell their hatred!"
Zhao Yun chuckled softly and waved his hand.
"No, Mr. Cao misunderstood."
"Then Wang Lie personally sent all three of you to me. No matter how shameless you are, you will never go to him again."
"Mr. Cao, what I said is correct, right?"
Cao Pi nodded heavily.
"That's right! What General Zhao said is absolutely true!"
"I, Cao Pi, am at odds with Wang Lie, Gongsun Kang and others!"
"This time is for nothing else but to avenge past shame and vent the hatred in my heart!"
Zhao Yun did not answer, and kept thinking in his heart.
I'm really confused whether to agree or not.
Agree, if you can't get over the hurdle in your heart.
Otherwise, there is no need to risk an attack.
But if you don’t agree, there is nothing you can do now.
The Liaodong Army made it clear that they would cling to the city and defend the city. It would be a dream to fight in the field.
If Cao Pi's strategy is not adopted, the only way left is to attack by force.
However, it is almost impossible for the current troops to attack by force!
At the same time, the power of turning corners is also a problem, which prevents Zhao Yun from attacking one place with all his strength.
It really looked like he was in a desperate situation.
"call..."
After a long time, Zhao Yun let out a breath.
"In that case, please leave it to Mr. Cao Pi."
