Three Kingdoms: Madam, I am a decent person

Chapter 506: Frustrated Cheng Yu

While Zhang Sui was piling up the hill of heads again, Cao Chun returned to Lihu County with Xu Huang, the unconscious Xiahou Dun, and less than a thousand men.

Le Jin, who was stationed outside the city, was shocked to see their miserable appearance and hurried forward to cover them.

Cheng Yu and others on the city wall looked at Cao Chun's appearance, and they all went down the wall to greet him.

When Cao Chun saw Cheng Yu, his face was gloomy. He lowered his head and was unwilling to speak.

Cheng Yu was so frightened when he saw Xiahou Dun fainting with a feather arrow hanging from his left eye that he almost fainted.

He didn't even dare to ask about the battle situation, and immediately called all the medical workers in the army to treat Xiahou Dun's injuries.

Cheng Yu, Cao Chun, Xu Huang and others were standing in the courtyard outside the room.

Cheng Yu put his hands behind his back and kept taking steps.

Cao Chun squatted on the ground, his body shaking like a sieve.

Xu Huang stood beside Cao Chun, with his head lowered, looking at his toes.

After a while, Le Jin was seen running towards him.

Cheng Yu immediately went up to him and asked hastily, "How is it?"

Xu Huang also hurried over to look.

Le Jin said: "My people have already guarded the main road."

“I didn’t see any troops from Hebei coming.”

"I rode over there myself and took a look."

"They stopped less than eighty miles from us."

"There were only about a thousand of them, and they were camped right on the main road."

"There are two small hills of human heads piled up in front of their camp. They are all the corpses of our soldiers."

“Those three paintings are still there.”

Glancing at Cao Chun who was still squatting on the ground, Le Jin hesitated for a while before finally saying, "Just looking at those two hills of heads, there must be at least 5,000 people!"

"The enemy only had 1,000 cavalrymen this time, but they killed 5,000 of our men!"

"Moreover, he is so arrogant."

"Jizhou Mu himself is among them. I think we have to be careful in dealing with it."

"It is very likely that there are still countless troops behind us."

After hearing Le Jin's report, Cheng Yu nodded and said, "Well done, Captain Le Jin, keep it up."

"Before the Lord's army arrives, you continue to guard the main road and do not attack."

"We will make plans after the Lord leads the follow-up army to arrive."

Le Jin responded and stepped away.

Cheng Yu then glanced at Xu Huang and shouted in suppressed anger, "Xu Gongming, I asked you to follow me, what are you doing?"

"Back in the days at Hangu Pass, didn't you know how powerful this man was?"

"Why don't you persuade General Xiahou to stop?"

Xu Huang raised his head, his eyes reddened, and defended himself: "Military Advisor, I, I advised General Cao, but General Xiahou would not listen."

Xu Huang was about to speak, but Cheng Yu raised his hand and interrupted him.

What's the use of making excuses!

at this point.

I just hope that when Cao Cao comes, I won’t be implicated.

Seeing Cheng Yu like this, Xu Huang lowered his head again and sighed secretly.

How can a general from another family persuade a general who is a relative of the clan?
He is a man who has just made great military achievements.

Xu Huang felt somewhat aggrieved.

If I had known this earlier, I would have followed that man when I was at Hangu Pass.

The group waited for a moment before seeing a figure running in.

Cheng Yu's expression changed slightly.

It’s Xi Zhicai.

One of Cao Cao's most trusted young advisers.

Although Xi Zhicai is younger, he has four major advantages over himself.

First, he was one of the earliest advisers to follow Cao Cao.

Second, he is indeed very talented.

Third, he is still Xun Yu’s man, although he doesn’t get along well with Xun You.

Fourth, he had a very good relationship with Zhong Yao, the lieutenant of the imperial court. With these four points, Xi Zhicai surpassed himself and often followed Cao Cao.

At this moment, seeing Xi Zhicai coming, although Cheng Yu was a little unwilling, he still went to meet him, nodded and said: "Zhicai, you are here, the lord is not far away, right?"

Xi Zhicai stopped, looked at Cheng Yu, and said with a smile: "The lord will arrive with the army around midnight tonight."

"My lord asked me to go ahead and help assist General Xiahou."

"General Xiahou, where are the people?"

Cheng Yu was just wondering how to answer when Xi Zhicai's eyes fell on Cao Chun, who was still squatting on the ground with his head drooping and trembling all over, and Xu Huang, who was lowering his head and at a loss. His expression suddenly turned cold and he said, "Don't tell me that you have already lost the battle and General Xiahou is in trouble!"

Cheng Yu: “.”

Xi Zhicai looked at Cheng Yu.

Cheng Yu hesitated for a moment, then said, "General Xiahou was fighting against the governor of Jizhou during the day, and was shot in the face by the cavalry of the governor of Jizhou. The arrow went deep into his left eye. Currently, all the doctors are in the room discussing how to deal with it."

Xi Zhicai was secretly surprised.

This kid is really amazing.

He has actually arrived!
Yuan Shao just died.

Senior officials were killed.

This guy took over the position of Lord of Hebei as Yuan Shao's son-in-law. He was not afraid of the civil strife, but came here in person!

Let's see how he performs.

Could it be that he really has the ability to sweep across the world?
However, Xi Zhicai still looked very serious. He glanced at Cao Chun and Xu Huang and said coldly, "Tell me the details."

Cheng Yu briefly recounted what had happened.

Xi Zhicai: “.”

A thousand cavalrymen dare to do this?

Xi Zhicai felt a little numb.

This kid was afraid that the situation in Hebei was critical, so he took the risk!
It's really dangerous.

This time, Cao Cao led an army of 50,000 to attack!

In addition to himself, there are also strategists with sharp vision such as Xun You and Jia Xu.

Xi Zhicai pinched the sparse beard on his chin with his skinny fingers.

How to do?
If things go wrong and this guy is killed, Hebei will really be finished.

Once Hebei falls into Cao Cao's hands, there will be no one in the world who can rival him.

Cheng Yu saw Xi Zhicai walking back and forth with a gloomy face, thinking that he was worried about Zhang Sui's matter, and said, "At present, I have already led the lieutenant Le Jin to lead 3,000 troops to guard the main road defense."

"The main thing is that we don't take the initiative to attack, and we defend ourselves tightly, so Zhang Sui can't defeat us."

"When the lord arrives, we will discuss it in detail."

Xi Zhicai came back to his senses, smiled at Cheng Yu, and said, "That's exactly what I was thinking."

"This trip north is of great significance and cannot be missed."

"Well, you guys keep watching General Xiahou, I'll go walk around and see if there's anything wrong."

Cheng Yu made a gesture of invitation.

Xi Zhicai then turned around and left.

Cheng Yu looked at Xi Zhicai's leaving back and sighed.

Finished!

Because he had used dried human flesh as military rations during the battle against Lu Bu in Yanzhou before, he had been despised by all the civil and military officials in the court.

Although Xun You and Xi Zhicai did not get along well, they both directed their attacks against him.

Only Xun Yu is better.

The battle had not even begun when they were defeated, and the fate of the clan general Xiahou Dun was in doubt.

Cheng Yu stopped, looked up at the sky, with a bitter face.

It really seems like God is going to kill me, Cheng Yu!
What did I, Cheng Yu, do wrong to end up in such a situation?
Xi Zhicai took a few personal guards and walked in Lihu County for a long time before he came up with a plan.

Looking towards the north of Lihu County, Xi Zhicai shook his head.

Boy, I will assist you and give you a hand this time.

I hope you can get through this crisis.

By then, don't forget my contribution to your cause.

If you think about it carefully, I am one of the earliest people to follow you.
