    Cao Tai fought with all his strength and finally reunited with his father Cao Ren.

    Seeing that his father¡¯s body was covered in blood, Cao Tai couldn¡¯t help but lamented: ¡°Father, the child is late!¡±

    Cao Ren patted him on the shoulder nonchalantly and said, "It doesn't matter, now is the time to kill the enemy. Let's rush out with my father!"

    Originally, Cao Ren¡¯s men suffered many casualties, and he was already in despair.

    But the appearance of Cao Tai's reinforcements greatly boosted their morale, and the bloody spirit of the Qiang and Hu soldiers was once again aroused.

    Cao Ren and Cao Tai, the father and son, waved their weapons to clear the way in front, and the Qiang and Hu soldiers followed closely behind, charging and killing.

    For a time, Zhang He's army was unable to do anything to the opponent.

    However, this place is still far away from the exit. If you want to completely rush out, you will have to pay a heavy price.

    But Cao Ren understood that if he hesitated in any way, the entire army would be destroyed here.

    Therefore, he did not dare to slack off at all, and turned a deaf ear to the screams of the soldiers around him, staring only at the exit ahead.

    In this way, after paying an extremely heavy price, Cao Ren finally led his team to charge out.

    In fact, this is also because Zhang He¡¯s entire army was not deployed here.

    The valley is narrow and can only accommodate more than 10,000 soldiers and horses. The other parts are located in another camp.

    When the army over there heard the noise coming from here, they immediately rushed here.

    But it was too late after all. When they arrived, Cao Ren and his son had already broken out of the encirclement.

    The moment Cao Ren rushed out of the canyon, his whole body was bathed in the rising sunshine, as if he had been reborn, and he couldn't help but let out a long roar.

    Subsequently, Cao Ren did not dare to hesitate and led the remaining troops to retreat while fighting, and finally withdrew into Wangyuan City.

    After surviving the initial disaster, when he counted the number of people again, his face suddenly fell.

    Of the 10,000 Qiang and Hu cavalry that Cao Ren brought with him at the beginning, only about 1,000 of them escaped with him.

    "Cao Tai's subsequent reinforcements also suffered heavy losses. There were originally 12,000 people, but now there are only 8,000 left.

    In other words, in this battle, Cao Ren lost a total of 13,000 troops.

    This will undoubtedly make things worse for Cao Ren, who currently has insufficient military strength.

    Looking at the battle report statistics in his hand, Cao Ren couldn't help but his hands were shaking, and his face was very sad.

    Since Liu Ke proclaimed himself emperor, the King of Wei sent 400,000 troops to march eastward as the commander-in-chief of one of the armies.

    It can be said that Cao Ren lost his troops and generals, and was defeated repeatedly in battles. At this moment, he only had 20,000 troops left in his hands, and he had lost so much.

    How could you make Cao Ren feel so sorry?

    Cao Tai on the side saw this and quickly stepped forward to persuade him: "Father, don't be sad. The soldiers still expect you to lead us to avenge our dead brothers!"

    Cao Tai¡¯s words instantly touched Cao Ren.

    He said in a heavy tone: "Alas! It's my incompetence, I'm sorry for the dead soldiers!"

    Yao Qiong also hurriedly came up and persuaded: "General, don't say that. The culprits who killed the soldiers were clearly Liang Xu, Zhang He, and Liu Ke.

    They are our enemies!  A failure is nothing. I believe that I will be able to defeat the opponent!  "

    Yao Qiong¡¯s words were so sonorous and powerful that Cao Ren couldn¡¯t help but raise his eyelids.

    "General Yao, you are a man with great ambitions. What you said today made even Cao Ren look at you with admiration!

    You are right, instead of feeling sorry for yourself here, it is better to fight with the enemy.

    I have decided to station myself in Wangyuan City from now on.  As long as this general is here, Zhang He will never be allowed to take a step forward!  "

    With the persuasion of the generals, Cao Ren finally regained his fighting spirit.

    So he decided to defend directly in Wangyuan City to block the enemy's intention of going south to threaten Shanggui.

    After Cao Ren¡¯s army broke through, Zhang He chased for a certain distance before giving up helplessly.

    However, the huge victory achieved today still makes the whole army very excited.

    Originally, Liang Xu lost a lot of troops as a bait, but now we can see the fruitful results achieved.

    The previously frowning expression finally turned into a smile.

    He couldn't help but admire: "The general is so resourceful. With just one plan, he made the opponent lose his troops and generals. I admire him very much!"

    Facing Liang Xu¡¯s praise,He waved his hands reservedly and said: "Liang Gongcao, you're welcome, I can succeed this time, your contribution is not small!

    I will definitely report everything that happened here to your Majesty truthfully and ask for credit for Liang Gongcao!  "

    Zhang He has never been good at competing with his subordinates for credit. Every time he wins, he tries his best to put the credit on his subordinates.

    This naturally won the support of his subordinate generals. Even Liu Ke praised Zhang He after learning about his deeds.

    Now that Zhang He has given such great credit to Liang Xu, how can he not be flattered?

    Therefore, Liang Xu immediately knelt down and respectfully gave Zhang He a big gift to express his gratitude to him.

    After all, as a newly demoted general, he was very eager to make achievements and let his new boss see his abilities.

    However, the last time he attacked Wangyuan, he was rushed and killed by Cao Ren's reinforcements. He lost his troops and generals, which was very embarrassing.

    ¡°If it were pursued, Liang Xu would definitely be unable to eat and walk around in circles.

    This time it¡¯s better. With such a share of merit, not to mention being promoted to a higher position, at least the merits and demerits will be balanced, and you will not be punished.

    When Zhang He saw Liang Xu performing such a great gift, he quickly lifted him up and comforted him softly.

    Afterwards, everyone began to discuss business matters and discuss the next arrangements.

    According to Zhang He¡¯s previous plan, this time he went south from Xianqin in order to echo the Battle of Shanggui and fight from the north to form an encirclement with Huang Zhong.

    As the last stronghold in front of Shanggui City, Wangyuan is naturally Zhang He's most important target at the moment.

    Therefore, his arrangement was very simple. After gathering the army, he immediately set off and headed straight to Wangyuan City.

    Once Wangyuan is captured, we can move south unimpeded to attack Shanggui.

    The generals naturally expressed their opinions one after another and promised to do their best to help General Zhang He attack Wangyuan.

    But when it came to Liang Xu, he hesitated.

    At this moment, all the generals looked over, waiting for him to make up his mind.

    In fact, Liang Xu wanted to attack Wangyuan at the beginning, but his army consumed a lot of money.

    Now that Zhang He's army is attacking Wangyuan again, his existence is dispensable and of little value.

    But how could Liang Xu give up the opportunity to make meritorious service so easily, so he planned to continue to follow Zhuge Liang's arrangements.

    Leaving Wangyuan to Zhang He, he led his troops to continue westward and attack Ji County.

    You must know that Ji County is the seat of Hanyang County, which is of great significance. At the same time, it is on the only way to Longxi County from the west.

    If we can capture Ji County, the credit will be far greater than that of the small Wangyuan.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
