Along the city defense line, the Wei army soldiers all looked pale, and fell into unprecedented panic and fear, like a group of lost flies, running around.

"This is impossible!"

"How could Gongming be defeated like this? He clearly did not take the initiative to provoke Liu Bei, how could this end happen?"

Cao Cao muttered to himself, shook his head repeatedly, and refused to accept this cruel reality in his heart.

Until the last bit of fantasy was completely shattered.

The waterway called Tangshui was actually just a shallow stream, the water was not as deep as a person's knee.

Xu Huang and his remaining troops waded through the water quickly and awkwardly, showing their exhaustion.

The city gates were opened with a bang, and the defeated army rushed in like a tide. Xu Huang, with guilt and heaviness on his face, silently stepped onto the city tower and apologized to Cao Cao.

"Gongming, I ordered you to defend the Green Land Pass, why did you end up in such a situation?"

20 Cao Cao suppressed his anger and questioned in a low and powerful voice.

Xu Huang knelt on both knees and kowtowed deeply:

"I have failed your majesty's high expectations and failed to defend the Green Land. I am willing to accept the punishment."

Cao Cao seemed to have an invisible sword hanging in his heart, making him dizzy and staggering.

Seeing this, Xiahou Lie and others hurriedly stepped forward to support him, fearing that he would have an accident.

Cao Cao covered his forehead and gasped for breath. After his emotions calmed down a little.

He opened his eyes again, his eyes were full of resentment and unwillingness.

"How could Liu Bei break through your camp with only 20,000 light cavalry?"

Cao Cao's voice was hoarse and puzzled.

Xu Huang swallowed hard and whispered:

"I was careless for a moment and fell into Liu Bei's trap. I led the army to attack, but was attacked by Ma Xiu's shield soldiers. The formation was in chaos, which led to failure."

"Why?"

Cao Cao's eyes widened and roared:

"I repeatedly told you to hold on. Why did you disobey the military order and go to war?"

His fingers trembled and almost touched Xu Huang's forehead. He was furious.

Xu Huang smiled bitterly and told the truth:

"Your Majesty, it was Liu Bei who killed my eldest son Xu Gai before the war and sent Gai'er's head to me."

"I was so angry and angry that I lost my mind and fell into his evil plan..."

Xu Huang felt wronged, but he could not defend himself. He could only shake his head and sigh.

Cao Cao was shocked when he heard this, and his anger was immediately replaced by a complex emotion, and his words of blame were choked in his throat.

Seeing this, Wang Shuang on the side hurried forward to persuade:

"Your Majesty, Gongming is also excusable."

"Liu Bei's means are cruel, using family affection to force Gongming to fight, which is really a despicable act."

Cao Cao was full of anger, and finally turned into a helpless sigh.

What else can he say?

Xu Huang was avenging his son, and he was impulsive.

How could he bear to blame this deep fatherly love?

"Get up."

Cao Cao waved his hand, his tone full of fatigue and weakness.

Xu Huang was relieved, slowly stood up, stepped aside, and remained silent.

The surroundings fell into a dead silence.

Only the whispers and fears of the soldiers in the city echoed in the air.

"Your Majesty, things have come to this point. It is not appropriate to stay here for long. We should quickly retreat to the west."

Xiahou Lie was the first to break the silence and pointed out the direction for Cao Cao.

Cao Cao looked west, clenched his fists, and his eyes were full of unwillingness and helplessness.

He didn't want to hold on to this land, but the reality was so cruel.

The green land had been lost, Xu Huang suffered heavy losses, and his troops were less than 8,000. (To read the violent novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

In addition, how could this isolated city compete with Liu Bei's 30,000 troops?

"Ancestors, is this your protection for me?"

"Is there really no way out..."

Cao Cao sighed to the sky, and two lines of hot tears quietly slid down.

Generals such as Xiahou were all sad, and the atmosphere was extremely heavy.

At this moment of despair, a steady and confident voice suddenly sounded, breaking the silence.

Everyone's eyes were focused, and they saw Jia Xu standing aside.

Although his face was slightly pale, his eyes flashed with wisdom and confidence.

"Wenhe, could it be that... you have 437 plans to solve the current predicament?"

A glimmer of hope ignited in Cao Cao's voice again.

With the help of his personal guards, Jia Xu approached Cao Cao and whispered his plan.

The despair in Cao Cao's eyes gradually dissipated, replaced by more firm belief and hope.

"Wenhe's plan is really a brilliant one!"

"I will follow the plan!"

Cao Cao was full of pride, with a ferocious and excited spark in his eyes. []

Generals such as Xiahou were also excited, and they speculated on what was so magical about Jia Xu's plan that could rekindle Cao Cao's fighting spirit in a desperate situation.

But Jia Xu himself seemed unusually calm:

"Liu Bei is cunning and cunning. Although this plan is brilliant, it is not foolproof."

"I think your majesty needs to be mentally prepared."

Cao Cao punched the battlement heavily, looked at the other side, and said with gritted teeth:

"Perhaps, this is the key step to turn the tide."

"Ancestors of the Great Wei, you must bless me in the dark..."
