Chapter 588: The Abandoned City of the Game
"Ming Gong, look at this news!"
Gongsun Du had just finished his morning exercise, and before he had washed off the stinky sweat on his body, Guo Jia rushed over urgently, shouting with joy in his mouth.
"Don't rush, take it slowly!"
Gongsun Du was not in a hurry, took the soft towel from the hands of his own soldiers, and began to wipe the sweat on his body.
Guo Jia's face was full of joy, but his impatience gradually dissipated, and he said, "Duke Ming, Cao Cao has definitely come back to help!" ”
"What's the good news?" Gongsun Du was speechless. Cao Cao's return to help, shouldn't it be bad news?
"Of course!"
Guo Jia said a word, only then did he realize the problem in his words, and hurriedly explained: "Yangping City, the soldiers of the Cao Army have been very active in the past few days, and they have begun to gather the people in the city, and it is likely that they will give up the city in Yangping Hebei. ”
"Abandon the city?"
Gongsun Du's hand couldn't help but pause, and said, "Can you be sure?" ”
"I don't dare to say that I am very sure, but there are still seven or eight points." Guo Jia nodded.
Gongsun Du quickly wiped it a few times, threw the soft towel into the basin, and said, "Go to the house and say." ”
"Good!" Guo Jia nodded and followed Gongsun Du to the house.
After sitting down, neither of them spoke, but Guo Jia silently handed over a few pieces of paper in his hand.
After reading it, several question marks popped up in Gongsun Du's heart-
Draw a salary from the bottom of the kettle?
Back to the carbine?
Jade burning?
Guo Jia looked at Gongsun Du, who was in deep thought, and did not speak, until he gradually came back to his senses, and then said: "Ming Gong, Prime Minister Cao Cheng's evacuation this time is not easy to coerce the people. ”
"First of all, after the last transaction, everyone in the world already knows that Ming Gong loves the people very much, so that Prime Minister Cao Cheng coerced the people to evacuate, and also threatened Ming Gong, if the army is pursued, I am afraid that it will be used as a meat shield, so that our army is in a dilemma. It is Yijia who advises not to chase and avoid such a thing from happening! ”
"Secondly, the bottom of the kettle! Although there are not many people in these cities, there are more than 100,000 people, and they will inevitably be left to become the help of the Ming Duke, so it is better to take them away, leaving only the empty city. ”
"In the end, if we take advantage of the situation to occupy these cities, I am afraid that the ruthless Prime Minister Cao Cheng will not let us go easily, and there must be another backhand, or poisoning, or burning, or digging cities, and so on. After all, without the people, Prime Minister Cao Cheng has completely lost his scruples. Therefore, Jia suggested that these cities should be ignored for the time being. But ......"
"But what?" Gongsun Du agreed with what Guo Jia said very much, and when he was listening attentively, he came to such a sentence and couldn't help asking.
"Jia is worried that there will be people who are not long-sighted and will occupy the city during this period!" Guo Jia expressed the worry in his heart, and said, "Maybe Prime Minister Cao Cheng also thought of this and will take other actions." ”
Gongsun Du frowned, then stretched out, waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, there are some bandits, things that can't be put on the table." If you don't come, forget it, if you come, then you don't have to go. ”
Guo Jia nodded, his heart full of approval.
Everyone says "I'd rather be a peace dog than a chaotic person", but this is not true under the rule of Gongsun Du. Although there were many wars, the Ming army's attack on bandits was very fierce, which was a good quality inherited from Gongsun Du when he started in Liaodong, so that now there are basically no bandits under the rule of Gongsun Du, and occasionally some people kill people and the like, and they are also some spies and others, and they are all sabotage. It can be said that Gongsun Du has reached a peaceful situation under the rule.
It is precisely for this reason that the cohesion of the Ming army is getting stronger and stronger.
His relatives and friends are behind him, and he must be able to protect them with his life!
Ming Gong treats us and other grass people so kindly, he can't repay him if he dies!
……
On the other side, Cao Cao didn't know that what he was going to evacuate had reached Gongsun Du's ears, and he originally thought that it should be after he left completely and returned to the south bank of the Yellow River.
However, Cao Cao is not worried, as Guo Jia said, as long as Zhang Xiu dares to chase, he dares to put the people in front as a meat shield, he really doesn't believe that the Ming army dares to rush over directly.
"Wenhe, it's all arranged!"
At the south gate of Yangping, Cao Cao looked at the black oppressive figure and groaned for a long time before he said to Jia Xu.
"It's all arranged." Jia Xu lowered his eyebrows and said.
"Let's go!"
Cao Cao said this to Jia Xu, and he was also saying it to himself.
It's an order to Jia Xu!
It's a kind of self-consolation for himself!
At the same time, Zhang Xiu, who was in the hair dry, was also nervously waiting for Cao Jun's news.
Since the retreat to Fagan, Zhang Xiu has been paying attention to Cao Cao's movements, because he even knew about the changes in Yangping City one step earlier than Gongsun Du, but he didn't know what was going on.
Cao Cao had just withdrawn for only half a day (the time to deliver the news was more than half a day, not that the people had withdrawn, and you only passed the news, but it was basically certain that it could be sent back), Zhang Xiu received the news, and immediately ordered the army that had been prepared to set off.
At this time, Li Ru received an order from Gongsun Du, and hurried to stop it: "General, the Ming Duke has an order not to pursue, to prevent Cao Jungou from jumping off the wall in a hurry, and not to occupy the city to avoid being plotted." ”
Zhang Xiu's face collapsed, and said, "Is it possible to let Cao Thief go so well?" ”
Li Ru opened his mouth, and he didn't know how to persuade him. He himself and Cao Cao have a certain grudge, but he thinks Gongsun Du's order makes sense!
Just when Zhang Xiu was silent for a long time and turned over and dismounted, Li Ru crossed his heart with a thought and said: "General, there is no way to let go of Prime Minister Cao Cheng, but we can add some bets to him, even if we can't kill him, it's good to be disgusting and disgusting." ”
"What to do? Speak quickly! Zhang Xiu said eagerly as if she had been in a drought for a long time.
"We ......"
Soon, Zhang Xiu turned over and got on the horse and shouted with a red face: "Go!" ”
Cao Jun was already in the majority of the infantry army, and with the people among them, the speed of marching was much slower. Although Zhang Xiu was half a day late and some distance away, he still caught up with Cao Jun by the river.
"Prime Minister, the pursuers are found behind!"
Nearly 300,000 people, stretching more than 20 miles in front, well, mainly because the people loaded the belongings of the carriage is a bit too much, and it has been more than doubled. Originally, the generals of these subordinates suggested that they should ignore these people, but considering the reputation problems in recent years, Cao Cao let them all take them with him out of consideration to show his love for the people.
Anyway, it's no problem to be safe, just bring it with you, and it will take more time!
Cao Cao thought so and did so.
Jia Xu also thought so, so he didn't persuade.
These two are ruthless!
"As long as the other party has no intention of rushing to kill, don't care about him; If you dare to kill it, just do what you planned. Cao Cao replied unconcernedly.
"Yes, Prime Minister."
Cao Cao's indifference made Zhang Xiu's courage a lot bigger, and he simply led a large number of cavalry troops to run back and forth on the flanks of the Cao army, causing a group of Cao soldiers to be nervous.
In the end, you can't use the people as a meat shield, and you don't dare to tell these little soldiers.
So, Cao Cao found that Zhang Xiu was like a dog skin plaster, sticking to his body, and he couldn't shake it off. The original purpose was not achieved, but caused panic in the hearts of the people.
Cao Cao looked at Zhang Xiu, who had just run a few miles away from him, and his eyes were full of murderous intent: Zhang Xiu, you bastard, looking for death......
In the end, Cao Cao gasped and suppressed the idea of sending troops to fight with him.
Jia Xu on the side was also slightly relieved when he saw him like this, he was really worried that Cao Cao couldn't help it, so he would lead troops to pursue, and when the time came, he would be killed......
After that, it was not until all the Cao troops crossed the river that Zhang Xiu's harassment stopped, and by this time a whole day had passed.
On this day, Cao Cao was really disgusting.
It's just that what Cao Cao didn't expect was that the most disgusting thing happened when he was about to evacuate from the river.
"Prime Minister Cao Cheng walks slowly, welcome to come again next time!"
Welcome back next time!
Come back next time!
I'll come back next time!
Come back again!
Come again!
Come on!
Yes!
!
"I'm angry!"
Cao Cao's blood was on his head, and he shouted loudly, and immediately fell to the ground.
"Prime Minister...... Prime Minister ......"
In a panic, Cao Cao was carried to the carriage and treated by the accompanying doctor.
At this time, some irascible generals howled to kill and cross the river to avenge it, but Jia Xu stopped them!
