Since Cao Cao entered Jingzhou, it has been a long time since such a large-scale meeting has been held.

Civil officials and advisers arrived at the temporary residence by car or horseback, and entered the hall with a solemn face. Cao Cao sat on the throne in the north and said bluntly: "The epidemic is rampant in the army, the war is unfavorable, I intend to withdraw the army and go back to the north, what do you think?" ”

Cao Cao didn't say that Guan Yu was closed and didn't fight, didn't say that Zhao Yun attacked and disturbed the grain road, didn't say Zhou Yu, Zhuge Liang's navy, and didn't say that Guanxi, Ma Chao, Han Sui and others were ready to move.

It is only said that the epidemic is rampant.

It's wise.

This battle is not a loss in the war, but the heavens favor Guan Yu and Sun Quan.

It's not that I'm incompetent.

Although they were all retreats, the difference was immediate.

One is embarrassment, and the other is calm.

"The prime minister is wise." The ministers had long been eager to withdraw from the army, and when they heard this, they bowed down and saluted and sent their horses.

"Although it is a withdrawal of troops, it still needs to be calculated. It doesn't hurt to give up the land of Jingzhou to Guan Yu, but it is necessary to relocate the people, Xiangyang City, and the surrounding people, as well as Jiangling City. The city was burned first, and if the people did not obey, they were to be killed. It must not be used by Guan Yu. ”

Cao Cao said coldly.

This is the route that Cao Cao has long drawn up.

At that time, I knew that it would be extremely difficult to gain a foothold in Jingzhou. Why did Cao Cao attack Jingzhou? It was because Cao Cao didn't want Jingzhou, it was obtained by Guan Yu and Sun Quan.

If you don't attack Liu Cong and don't destroy Liu Cong, won't this sheep have to be eaten by Guan Yu and Sun Quan?

And now Cao Cao has entered Jingzhou, although the war is unfavorable, it has also made Jingzhou ruined. The first is that many people were killed, and many fled to Fangling, Hanzhong.

Bandits are rampant, and prosperity is in flames.

Now Cao Cao is going to burn all the cities again, all. The people were forcibly relocated, and those who did not obey the order were all killed.

It's just a chicken and a flying egg, I can't get it, and no one can think of it.

At this moment, Cao Cao doesn't care whether people's hearts are popular or not. Anyway, this place in Jingzhou is the place to oppose him. The people here should never really obey him.

And the scourge of the Guan family must be eternal. Cao Cao didn't think about whether the next time he came, whether he would be vigorously resisted by the local people.

Just burn it, burn it.

Chickens fly and eggs are beaten.

This is what Cao Cao, who has more than 200,000 horse infantry troops and strong military power, can do.

Wenchen and the strategists were silent for a while, and then responded: "No." ”

Even if some people can't bear it, no one will disobey Cao Cao's orders.

However, in order to prevent the Jingzhou soldiers from mutiny, Cao Cao first issued an order, ordering Wen Ping, as well as the rest of the soldiers and horses in Jingzhou, to cross the pontoon bridge in the north first, pass through Fancheng, and go to Wancheng.

Then go to the Shouchun area to settle.

Cao Cao attached great importance to Wenpin, so he personally went out of Xiangyang City and went to the water village where Wenpin was located. Wen Ping heard the news and went out to greet Cao Cao into the big tent of the Chinese army.

Cao Cao sat down and told Wen Ping about the matter openly. Wen Ping was gloomy, but he didn't say much.

"Zhongye. Guan Yu and Sun Quan have become a scourge. I don't have an army, but I can't destroy them. After you went to Shouchun, you led the army to build warships and train sailors. After I pacified Ma Chao and Han Sui, I will lead you out of the mouth of the water and enter Jiangdong. ”

Cao Cao put his hands on his knees and said to Wen Cheng very sincerely.

"The last general will do his best to train the navy." Wen Ping responded.

This was the case, and then Wen Ping handed over the warship, led the headquarters of 10,000 Jingzhou soldiers, and the remaining 30,000 or 40,000 Jingzhou soldiers to Fancheng, and then passed through Wancheng, to the east to Shouchun.

After the Jingzhou soldiers left, Cao Cao ordered the army to disperse, go to the villages, cities, and forcibly attack the people to the north.

In this regard, Cao Cao did it neatly and extremely quickly. Before the Guan family could react, they moved Xiangyang and the two or three hundred thousand people in the surrounding areas of Xiangyang to the north.

If he got the news early, Zhuge Liang could let Ding Feng, Wang Wei, Huang Zhong and others lead the navy to intercept the pontoon bridge. But Cao Cao was also prepared for this.

Although Wen Ping left. However, the 30,000 horses commanded by Yu Forbidden were trained in the Xuanwu Pond earlier, and they stayed in the south for half a year, although the naval army was not very skilled, but at least they had the strength to fight.

And there are 30,000 people, but they are not afraid of Zhuge Liang's Jiangxia army.

And Anlu's Zhuge Liang didn't have time to react, and Guan Yu in Xinye City could only watch.

Guan Yu, who heard the news, immediately summoned Yin Guan.

Hanshou Hou's Mansion, in the study. Guan Yu's right fist clenched, and with a bang, it hit the desk. Suddenly stood up and said: "What a trick to draw salary." Let him migrate the people of Xiangyang and burn Xiangyang, as well as the surrounding villages and cities. Even if I get Xiangyang, it's just a piece of coke. ”

Even Guan Yu also knew that Cao Cao's actions, coupled with the casualties caused by the previous war, had burned the entire prosperity of Jingzhou, and it would be difficult to recover for ten years.

Yin Guan is much more calm, as the so-called.

As long as the state officials set fires, the people are not allowed to light the lamps?

Zhou Yu, Zhuge Liang's navy was crisscrossed, and many people migrated away.

It was Guan Ping's great battle in Bazhong, and he also migrated hundreds of thousands of people north to Hanzhong. Cao Cao is not allowed to do this? It's just that the means are a little worse.

Guan Ping persecuted those Ba people too much, but he did not burn Langzhong City.

Of course, Guan Ping also considers the issue of influence. Guan Ping is planning to crusade against Bashu again in the coming year. If Langzhong City is burned, it will cause civil resentment.

And now Cao Cao can't control much.

The people of Jingzhou can't let Guan Yu use it.

"The Lord is angry. Cao Cao took the lead and forcibly relocated the people and population of Xiangyang and the surrounding areas, and burned them to the ground. Cao Cao's soldiers are strong and strong, and we can only do anything about it. Now the key is the South County population. and Zhou Yu's reaction. ”

Yin Guan said.

Guan Yu came to his senses, since Cao Cao had done such a bad thing, would he let Nanjun go? Namgun, Yangyang, and Gangneung were all reduced to ruins.

It's really a burn-in.

"What do you mean, sir?" Guan Yu also heard what Yin Guan said, so he said.

"If it is like what Cao Cao did in Xiangyang, it is impossible for the people to be completely relocated. Nanjun has a population of hundreds of thousands, and Xiahou Yuan can only collect more than 100,000. When the army and the people are together, there will be chaos. Ma Liang has more than 20,000 elite soldiers in Zigui, Li Zheng, Zhao Tong, Mi Wei, and Zhang Bao. Now it's too late to pass on the news, if Ma Liang has the courage to act and fight, he can intercept this people and keep the foundation of Nanjun. But it doesn't matter if the population can be intercepted or not. If Zhou Yu learned that Cao Cao had withdrawn his troops, he would inevitably lead his troops to fight for Nanjun. and first ordered Zhuge Liang to order Huang Zhong to stay in Jiangxia Water Village. Ding Feng was ordered, and Wang Wei went to Nanjun to set up a water village and confront Zhou Yu. ”

Yin Guan planned.

Now Cao Cao has inevitably retreated, although Cao Cao's-stirring stick is really powerful. The prosperity of Xiangyang, Nanjun and Jingzhou was burned.

Chickens fly and eggs are beaten.

But as Yin Guan said, although Cao Cao migrated two or three hundred thousand people, in a hurry, of course, there were also people who defected.

Gather the people, plus keep the people of Nanjun, Jingzhou is still more prosperous than many states in the Central Plains.

Although the prosperity was burned to the ground, it could not recover in ten years. But what about ten years from now?

Now that Cao Cao is gone, Zhou Yu has become a confidant.

If it is not good, the Guan family and the Sun family will most likely have a battle to fight.

"Jiangdong rats, after taking Jingnan, you still want to seize Nanjun?" Guan Yu was furious, and then immediately wrote an official document, ordering Zhuge Liang to send a naval army to Nanjun to confront Zhou Yu.

...................

But he said that Yin Guan this person is indeed talented and strategic.

For the important place, there is a burst of blood.

Zhou Yu is the enemy.

Ma Liang is the key.

And did Ma Liang dare to lead his troops to touch Cao Jun's tiger whiskers? It must be known that since Cao Cao went south, 200,000 horse infantry troops have been crisscrossed.

Guan Yu shrank into the new field and did not dare to fight.

An Lu Zhuge Liang was almost disabled.

Although Ma Liang captured Zigui, it was also because the local powerful king Xu opened the city gate, and he fought with Xiahou Yuan and defended the city.

More than 20,000 defenders, Xiahou Yuan 10,000 troops attacked the city.

It's not an uphill battle.

It was a gloomy day, with dark clouds covering the day, as if it was going to rain.

But the rain did not come, because the weather had been going on for several days, and it had not rained.

The people in the Zigui area have been migrated to Fangling, which is very depressed. But the people in Zigui City did not move, because Ma Liang felt confident to defend Zigui, so why should he alarm the people in the city?

But there was basically no one in the city who walked around, and everyone kept their doors and windows closed.

Xiahou Yuan's army plundered the population in Nanjun, some people fled, and some people were swept by Cao's army, a total of 120,000 people, swept by Xiahou Yuan's army of 20,000 or 30,000, and went north to Xiangyang, and the news reached Ma Liang's ears.

Ma Liang summoned Li Zheng, Zhang Bao, Mi Wei, Zhao Tong, and Wang Xu.

And in the end, do you want to send troops to take back these hundreds of thousands of people?

Ma Liang's heart is extremely assertive.

After Maleonn summoned the people, he announced the news. Wang Xu sighed: "Although Cao's army has withdrawn, it has also allowed us to get an empty city. Wrong, but there was not even an empty city left, and the city was burned. ”

"It's excessive." Zhang Bao said angrily.

Mi Wei didn't say a word, and Zhao Tong followed suit.

Li Zheng was calm and calm, he raised his head and said to Ma Liang: "The army and the people are together, and the soldiers are jealous." At that time, the yellow scarves swept the world, and the people and soldiers merged. The officers and soldiers attacked the Yellow Turbans, and the Yellow Turbans rebelled without a fight. It is better for us to choose elite soldiers to chase them north and attack their camps at night. Xiahou Yuan will definitely blow up the camp. ”

Hearing this, Ma Liang glanced at Li Zheng with appreciation, and then asked, "How many people does General Li think is okay?" ”

"More than 5,000 elite soldiers in my headquarters are enough. I should go, Ma Changshi doesn't have to worry. On the contrary, Zigui needs to send people to guard it, and although Gangneung City in Nanjun has turned into a sea of fire, at least one empty city is still there. Jiangdong Sun Quan has to be guarded against. He also asked Ma Changshi to dispatch troops to guard Jiangling City, so as not to let Zhou Yu go to the north bank. If Zhou Yu is allowed to gain a foothold on the north shore, there will be endless troubles. ”

Li Zheng got up from his seat and said calmly.

"Okay, general, let's do it." Ma Liang said. Then Li Zheng went down to transfer troops, and Ma Liang said to Mi Wei and Wang Xu: "Mi Wei, Mr. Wang, you two guard the back road of Zihui." If Zhou Yu comes to attack, he will not be able to hold out. ”

"No." Mi Wei, the king promised.

Ma Liang said to Zhang Bao and Zhao Tong: "Two generals, bring enough grain and grass, follow me into Jiangling City, and defend it." ”

"No." Zhang Bao and Zhao Tong also promised.

So Maleonn set off.

Yin Guan said to Guan Yu to see if Ma Liang had the courage to act.

And Ma Liang's courage is as big as the mouth of a bowl.

And Li Zheng's courage is not small.

Five thousand elite soldiers dared to go.
