750、The messenger with a broken heart
"Why can Liu Zhe's people last for so long?"
It was dark and he withdrew his troops and returned to the camp. After Cao Cao returned to the tent, he finally couldn't help but roared in the face of heavy losses.
In Cao Cao's opinion, Liu Zhe's people should not last for two days, but the fact ruthlessly slapped him twice in the face.
"Lord." Cao Hong spoke, his head wrapped around his white cloth and his right hand hung around his neck. Today, Cao Hong personally led his troops to Tongguan and occupied a section of the city wall. He originally wanted to expand the results of the battle, but then he met Zhao Yun.
Cao Hong is a powerful general under Cao Cao, with extraordinary force, but he is still a little worse than Zhao Yun. After fighting with Zhao Yun for seven or eight rounds, he was stabbed by Zhao Yun in his right hand and swept him across the city wall with one shot. Fortunately, there were already corpses piled up under the city wall. Cao Hong fell down and only knocked his head to pieces and did not hurt his life.
"Liu Zhejun does not seem to have received the influence of attacks on both sides."
As the commander, Cao Hong committed suicide by himself. He had the most intuitive feeling about Liu Zhejun's state. Today and yesterday, Liu Zhejun's defensive power did not weaken at all.
"What do you want to say?"
At the sight of Cao Hong, Cao Cao suppressed his anger and lowered his voice. He saw Cao Hong's efforts and should not be treated harshly at this time.
"The last general thinks," Cao Hong paused for a moment before saying, "Maybe there was a problem with the good son Xiao, and he did not attack as scheduled."
"No, this is impossible." Cao Cao almost blurted out, and he could not believe this assumption at all.
After refusing to believe Cao Hong's assumption, Cao Cao said, "If there is a problem with Zixiao, he will definitely send someone to tell me, but it has been two days, and I will not be able to get through those who don't believe him. Oh, damn Liu Zhe."
The last sentence was Cao Cao couldn't help but scold Liu Zhe because Tongguan was occupied by Liu Zhe. Cao Cao wanted to contact Cao Ren and sent people to climb over the mountains on both sides to get in touch.
Originally, it only took half a day to get from Cao Cao to Cao Ren, but Liu Zheheng was stuck in the middle, and the contact between the two became particularly long, at least more than a day.
When Cao Cao thought of this, he couldn't help but scold Liu Zhe.
"Continue to attack tomorrow."
After Cao Cao scolded Liu Zhe, he made this decision angrily and continued to attack with all his strength tomorrow.
But at this moment, a guard outside the door came to report: "Report!"
"General Cao Ren's messenger is here."
"Let him come in." Cao Cao suddenly felt a bad premonition in his heart when he heard this, but he hurriedly ordered.
Cao Ren's messenger came in. When everyone saw him, they couldn't bear it in their eyes. It was so pitiful. The hair was messy and the leaves were stained with dead branches. Even the sharp-eyed people could see a bug on it. His clothes were torn and wrinkled, his body was covered with soil, one of his shoes fell off, and another half was left.
In this way, even the beggars in Xudu are not as good as those in Xudu. At least the beggars in Xudu don’t look that miserable, but this messenger looks miserable and it’s terrible.
"What's going on?" Cao Cao was shocked when he saw this. If he hadn't known that the guards outside must have tested his token and confirmed his identity before letting him in, Cao Cao would have thought that the person in front of him was a beggar.
Made, he said that he was a beggar, and he was also giving him face.
"Master..."
The messenger was very sad. Seeing Cao Cao was like a father and mother. When he came here, he was like returning to the organization. He couldn't help but cry with a "wow".
"You can make it clear quickly."
When Cao Cao saw that the messenger was actually crying like a woman, he was already angry and couldn't help but scream, frightening the messenger's tears back.
The messenger then told him what he had happened on the way, so that everyone could understand why he became like this.
Cao Ren sent a total of eight messengers to bring to Cao Cao that Cao Ren was attacked by a sneak attack and could not attack Tongguan as scheduled.
Eight messengers set off on the road, each of whom crossed mountains and hills from different places. Because the shortcuts were occupied by other messengers, he and another messenger chose a farther place to enter the woods and began to climb over the mountains.
Unexpectedly, on the way, they encountered a scout under Liu Zhe. They wanted to kill the scout with more people, but the scout in blue clothes, Liu Zhejun hid in the woods, as if invisible, which made people difficult to detect.
The two messengers who wanted to surround the scouts turned into prey, and the scout turned into hunters, hid in the woods, followed them closely, harassed, attacked, set up traps, and did everything.
The two messengers who had encountered such a scout for the first time were so heartbroken that they could not hide, but they could not escape, but they could not do it. In the end, the two fled separately.
Finally, the messenger's companion was chased by the scout, and he temporarily got rid of Liu Zhejun's scout. However, a day later, the scout actually chased after him.
The messenger could not deal with Liu Zhejun's scout alone, so he could only keep running away. Liu Zhejun's scout was chased after him. Fortunately, he met his own scout, and the messenger escaped.
