"Report--it has been found out that the person who led the army to ambush the general was none other than Lu Xun, the governor of the state of Wu!"

"Report - after a fierce battle, all our troops were wiped out, and the general died in battle!"

"Report--Lu Xun led his troops to recapture Dantu and Qu'a, and the remnants of our army retreated to the north bank in embarrassment. The casualties were extremely heavy!"

……

In a short time, the battle situation took a turn for the worse. Cao Jun, who had just succeeded in crossing the river, was ambushed by Wu Jun. He suffered heavy casualties, and the general Cao Xiu died in battle!

Cao Pi was dumbfounded, and so were the civil and military officials. They took the battle report and checked it repeatedly, but they didn't believe it was true anyway!

Lu Xun led the main force of the Wu army and was clearly stationed in the Chaisang camp. Recently, there was no sign of mobilization. Why did he suddenly go to the lower reaches of the Yangtze River and set up an ambush for Cao's army?

"Immediately send someone to investigate, we must investigate to get to the bottom of the truth, could it be that Lu Xun will not be able to do the avatar technique?

Even if he knows the avatar technique, how can he change thousands of troops thousands of miles away, I must figure it out-cough cough! "

……

"Your Majesty, victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs, so please take care of your dragon body!"

Upon hearing the news of the defeat of the troops crossing the river and Cao Xiu's death in battle, Cao Pi was furious, his eyes turned blood red, his hands and feet were trembling even more, and there was a dull pain in his chest, which was the place where he was poisoned by the arrow!

At the same time, I thought of Xiao Yi's memorial: 'Don't cross the river, be careful in ambush', I hate myself for not listening to good advice, and ended up causing this fiasco!

The messengers rushed away, constantly investigating the situation on the battlefield, and quickly figured out the matter:

It turned out that more than a month ago, Lu Xun led an army to storm Cao Ying and failed. He also suffered a small loss and was forced to retreat in the night. In fact, those were all tricks!

Only a small number of Wu troops retreated to the Chaisang camp, and deliberately practiced soldiers and horses and beat drums every day to attract the attention of Cao Jun on the other side, mistakenly thinking that the main force of the Wu army had not moved!

In fact, Lu Xun led a main force of 2000 and more than [-] warships, and under the cover of night, they had already gone down the river...

In order not to be discovered by Cao Jun, Wu Jun divided into dozens of teams, hid in the reeds during the day, secretly sailed at night, and entered Taihu Lake along the tributary of the Yangtze River, then abandoned the boat and landed, lurking near the lake, waiting for Cao Jun himself Deliver it to your door.

This kind of battle plan: bold, meticulous, and ruthless... like a pack of wolves hunting prey, it is impossible to defend against, and it shows Xiao Yi's military style everywhere, it is true that there is a teacher who must have an apprentice!

"Your Majesty, Lu Xun succeeded in setting up an ambush and severely damaged our troops. I'm afraid he won't stop there. You should send someone to remind General Cao Zhen to be careful when the Wu army comes to attack!"

"Zhongda is right, ahem... Hurry up and send someone to inform General Zidan, beware of the Wu army's sneak attack!"

In the panic, only Sima Yi remained calm. It is not terrible to lose a battle. The terrible thing is to lose again and again, and it will be completely out of control.

It's a pity that it was a step too late after all. The messenger hadn't left the gate of the palace yet, and a new battle report came:

After Lu Xun won the ambush, he immediately led his army across the river to the north, attacked Cao Zhen's camp in the dark, and burned all the warships, grain and grass, and Zizhong inside!

Cao Zhen was unprepared in advance, and was caught off guard. Tens of thousands of troops were lost, and even the camp was lost, so he had to lead the remnant troops back to the Hefei area. The Wu army chased after them...'

Both armies suffered disastrous defeats, with no less than [-] men and horses lost, and all the warships built with great difficulty were destroyed. At this point, the Southern Expedition was a complete failure!

"It's not good, Your Majesty vomited blood, and His Majesty passed out - imperial doctor!"

Chapter 1694 Dragon Yu dies!

"Crack!--Crack!"

Overcast clouds, lightning and thunder, a torrential rain fell on the Jianghuai land, which lasted for several days without stopping, all rivers and rivers were full, and then merged into the Yangtze River, and the waves were rolling and rushing for thousands of miles!

Cao Jun's camp was also soaked by rainwater. The tents, bedding, and armor were all soaked, and they couldn't light a fire to cook. The soldiers could only stand in the mud, eating moldy dry food, and had no rest day and night. !

It's okay to suffer from the rain, but the morale of the army has plummeted!

Although the upper echelons tried their best to conceal it, the news of the defeat of Cao Xiu and Cao Zhen still spread in the camp.

Some people complained that the top command was incompetent, which led to the loss of troops; some people worried that if Lu Xun led the army to attack, he would die in hell and never see his parents and relatives again.

And the most common sentence the soldiers said was: "If the Grand Master is in charge of the army, why did we fall into such a mess!" '

The commander is incompetent, and the army is exhausted!

"Kacha!--It's not good, the emperor's flag has been blown off!"

A gust of wind swept past, and the emperor's flag planted at the highest point of the palace broke instantly, and the flagpole hit the main ridge of the main hall fiercely, knocking down the five phoenix, bullfighting, xiezhi, phoenix, and Yayu on the ridge. All the gods and beasts were smashed to pieces, and broken bricks and tiles were everywhere!

The Imperial Forest Army rushed over quickly, and it took a lot of effort to re-erect a big banner in the wind and rain. As for the main ridge of the damaged hall, we can only wait for the wind and rain to subside.

The strong wind blew off the emperor's banner and smashed the beasts that suppressed the spine. This is a great ominous sign. Many people looked into the depths of the palace. The emperor hadn't shown his face for several days!

…………

"Tianma...hungry wolf...the wolf ate the horse, I was wrong, my world!"

"Your Majesty!—Your Majesty!"

Cao Pi has been in a coma for three days and three nights. During this period, he either sweated profusely, or kept talking hysterically. He probably dreamed of something terrible. The phrase 'the wolf ate the horse' was repeated many times!

Cao Xiong, Hua Xin, Wang Lang, Jiang Ji, and Sima Yi were guarding the side of the couch, each of them frowning and sighing. Do not inquire about the emperor's condition!

The imperial doctors have already diagnosed that Cao Pi was overworked and rushed to the heart, so he vomited blood and fell into a coma. It is said that as long as he takes a few warming and tonic medicines, and then cultivates well, his body will slowly recover.

But for some unknown reason, a poison appeared in Cao Pi's body. It was as fierce as fire and as fierce as a tiger. , has shown the trend of poisonous blood attacking the heart, and the gods may not be saved when they descend to the earth!

But one thing is certain, this poison is not newly produced, but has been lurking in the body for a long time, at least ten years, and the root of the poison is in the heart, where there is an old arrow wound, which has become Got dark brown!

As for the reason of the emperor's poisoning, the imperial doctors did not dare to ask any more questions, but the important ministers guessed it seven or eight points, and knew that His Majesty the Emperor might not escape this catastrophe.

Birth, old age, sickness and death are human nature, but a family cannot be without an owner for a day, and a country cannot be without a king for a day. If Cao Pilong Yu dies, who will inherit the throne?

Cao Pi has never established a crown prince, and now he is in a coma, and it is very likely that he will never wake up. If he does not leave a will or a will, things will be troublesome.

The nine princes in the palace each have supporters behind them, and no one is convinced by the other. In order to fight for the right to inherit, there may be a terrible situation of "putting aside the corpse and attacking each other with armor", which is no different from the chaotic Wei Empire. To make matters worse!

Thinking of the seriousness of the problem, Jiang Ji frowned and paced back and forth, Wang Lang and Hua Xin sighed, not knowing what to do, but Cao Xiong and Sima Yi flirted and kept communicating with each other, as if they had discovered a godsend opportunity!

"Water!...Water!...I want to drink water!"

"Your Majesty has woken up, that's great, get some water quickly, where's the imperial doctor?"

At dusk, Cao Pi suddenly spoke, as if there were signs of waking up, Jiang Ji, Hua Xin and others were overjoyed, and while serving to drink water, they summoned the imperial doctor to come over!

But after the imperial doctors took turns to take the pulse, they all left with a sigh, without saying a word, without prescribing a single prescription, and just knelt outside the gate to plead guilty!

Several important ministers instantly understood that this was not the improvement of the emperor's condition, but the reflection of the dying man!

"Hmm! How long have I been in a coma, and what's going on outside?"
