When Kang Peng performed the high platform diving for the first time in Luoyang, Cao Cao had already fainted several times in Yanzhou, and finally waited until the Yellow River receded slightly, Cao Cao returned to Chenliucheng under the escort of his own soldiers, and Liu Bei, who had big ears, also came to Chenliu surrounded by the white ear army of his own soldiers, and the two brothers finally met. Although Cao Cao had already made some psychological preparations, when he saw the bleak scene of Chen Liucheng after the flood, he still fainted again.

Chenliu County, the third largest city after Luoyang and Hanoi at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, with a population of nearly 800,000, although after the Yellow Turban Uprising and various natural and man-made disasters, the original people living in Chenliu have gone to seven or eight, but at the beginning of this year, Cao Cao captured a large number of people from Hanoi, and the population of Chenliu County is still maintained at more than 600,000, second only to the emerging Chang'an, plus Cao Cao has taken the recruitment of displaced people, reclamation of wasteland and other means to make great efforts, Chenliu's prosperity and wealth have far exceeded Luoyang, which has lost a large number of people. Lay a solid foundation for Cao Cao's hegemony.

But the sky is not with Cao Cao, this time in the Yellow River flood, Yanzhou people died and disappeared countless people, the people's houses collapsed tens of thousands of houses, hundreds of thousands of acres of fertile land turned into swamps and depressions, the grain that was about to be harvested was also lost, hundreds of thousands of Yanzhou people faced the danger of famine, and worse, after the flood, the bodies of Yanzhou soldiers and civilians who were soaked in the flood were everywhere, after the scorching sun, the terrible plague was also at the right time to shroud the heads of the Yanzhou soldiers and civilians. Xuchang and Wuping have successively broken out of the plague, a large number of soldiers and civilians died of illness, often a family died of death, really every family has the pain of the corpse, there is the sound of crying in the room, or closed the door and died, or the family and mourned, a large number of people began to flee the journey, but also spread the plague to all the townships and places, in just half a month, the drowning, disease and loss of the population has been close to three percent of the population of Yanzhou, and this momentum continues to spread.

In terms of the army, Cao Cao brought back 40,000 troops from Xiaopei just in the face of the flood, and most of them were washed away by the flood in an instant, and the troops stationed in various places also suffered heavy losses, many soldiers took the opportunity to escape, plus Xiahou Dun ambushed Lu Bu and Zhang Xiujun in Luoshui, and threw out the lives of more than 10,000 soldiers, cumulatively, Cao Cao's 120,000 families were only less than 80,000, and Liu Bei's military strength reversed, only slightly better than Kong Rong's Qingzhou army, and compared to the poor Yuan Shaojun's army, there was a huge disparity. The military rations are all exhausted, weapons are scarce, and the situation is precarious, and they may be eaten by Liu Beijun or Yuan Shaojun at any time; If it weren't for the flood barrier and the plague rampant, Kang Peng would have ventured into the Central Plains and destroyed one of his biggest opponents first.

In this embattled situation, Guo Jia dragged his sick body and braved the danger of plague and flood and scorching sun to rush back to Chenliu from Xiaopei, and found Cao Cao, who was almost mentally broken, and when Guo Jia saw Cao Cao, he almost couldn't believe his eyes. At this moment, Cao Cao in front of Guo Jia, his hair was fluffy and scattered, his eye sockets were deeply sunken, and he was holding a jar of wine in a frustrated manner, while Cheng Yu, Li Dian, Cao Hong, Yu Ban and others were also sitting silently next to him, and the atmosphere in the hall was so solemn that it could make people crazy.

Guo Jia shook his head, sighed, and slowly walked forward and saluted: "Guo Jia sees the lord, I'm back." ”

Hearing Guo Jia's voice, Cao Cao raised his hazy and drunken eyes, and said in a vague and hoarse voice: "Fengxiao, you are back, are you feeling better?" ”

Guo Jia pretended to smile on his pale face, clenched his fists and pounded his chest, "Thank you for your concern, I'm all right." But Guo Jia's lie was immediately exposed by himself, and the irrepressible violent cough made him bend down again, and he couldn't stand up for a long time.

Cao Cao loves Guo Jia very much, seeing Guo Jia like this, although his mood is now discouraged, he still struggled to help Guo Jia to the seat with the help of Cao Hong, Li Dian and others, and then beat Guo Jia's back and said: "Fengxiao, you should live in Xiaopei for a while, Chen Liu's nothing is good now, and there are many plagues...... As he spoke, Cao Cao's tears rolled down, and he choked up: "But it's good to come back, you and I have been friends for many years, just to see the last ......"

Cao Cao's character Guo Jia is the most clear, the appearance is quiet but the heart is overjoyed and angry, in the face of such a big setback, whether you are a capable minister in the world, or a hero in troubled times, no one can avoid being disheartened and sprouting life and death. But Guo Jia was not in a hurry to persuade Cao Cao, but pointed to the wine jar on the table and coughed and said, "Cough, cough, lord, what do you mean by this?" Want to escape from reality in a drunken state? ”

Cao Cao cried: "Fengxiao, it's difficult for me, everyone in the world says that this time the thunder split the Yellow River, all because I caused too many evils, it was a punishment given to me by God, and I couldn't wash it away if I jumped into the Yellow River." The army's food has been cut off, the people are fleeing to death, and the fields left by Chen have become Yuzawa, and I have no way out now, what is the point of living? Speaking of this, Cao Cao couldn't control himself anymore, squatted down and hugged his head and cried: "I have already decided, I will kill myself on Chen Liucheng tomorrow, and apologize to the people of Yanzhou with death......

Guo Jia was furious, struggled to stand up, grabbed Cao Cao's collar with both hands, struggled to lift Cao Cao, and scolded: "You big liar! Who told me that his life's wish is to make the world peaceful and let the people of the world live and work in peace and contentment? Who told me that after his death, at least the title of General of the Han Zhengxi should be engraved on his tombstone? Who told me that he wanted to sweep away all directions and establish an immortal hegemony? In a hurry, Guo Jia even forgot about coughing, and said it quickly and urgently.

Cao Cao was startled at first, then his eyes dimmed again, and he shook his head weakly, "Everything has passed, and I have no way out......"

"Shut up!" Guo Jia yelled: "Look at my eyes! Cao Cao had never seen Guo Jia so angry, but he obediently looked at Guo Jia's sharp eyes.

"It doesn't matter if you die, it's nothing if you die and leave a legacy of infamy and stench for thousands of years." Guo Jia said coldly: "But what about your ambitions, your ambitions, your great ideals and grand aspirations?" What do you do with those who follow you faithfully? ”

Cao Cao was still not moved by Guo Jia's words, he still had a gloomy expression on his face, and said in a low voice: "It's useless, no matter what you do, I won't have the day to turn over, let's go, I'm sorry for your ......"

"Smack!" Guo Jia suddenly raised his hand and slapped Cao Cao hard, inciting Cao Cao to suddenly wake up from the pain, Guo Jia gasped and said, "Coward! Dian Wei really shouldn't trade his life for your coward's life! ”

Guo Jia pushed Cao Cao down, turned around and left, and said as he walked: "Everyone, if you are willing to commit suicide with this coward in Chen Liucheng, stay behind, and if you don't want to, follow me to the mountains and forests!" Out of sight is pure! ”

When Guo Jia was about to walk to the door of the hall, Cao Cao's voice suddenly came from behind him, "Fengxiao, what should I do?" This voice was steady and calm, which was Cao Cao's usual tone.

Guo Jia stopped suddenly, a smile flashed in his sharp and clear eyes, but it was fleeting. Guo Jia slowly turned around, stared at Cao Cao, who had already stood up straight, and said lightly: "Seize Qingzhou, work hard, and make a comeback!" ”

On the eighth day of the seventh month of the third year of the Han Dynasty, Cao Cao recalled the defeated army at Bishui Pass and gave up Bishui Pass and Tiger Prison Pass. At the same time, Cheng Yu was sent to negotiate with Qingzhou Taishou Kong Rong, and was willing to raise the army and the people to join Kong Rong, and give up the position of Yanzhou pastor and Kong Rong. Because Cheng Yu bribed Kong Rong's neighbors with a lot of money, Kong Rong agreed to this request.

On the tenth day of the seventh month of the third year of the Han Dynasty, Cao Cao's army suddenly surrounded the remnants of Liu Bei's ally, who were ready to retreat from Chen Liu, although Liu Bei's personal soldiers tried their best to resist, but they were all surrounded because they were outnumbered, but Cao Cao did not poison Liu Bei, after secret talks between the two sides, Liu Bei Xiu ordered Zhuge Xuan to lead the army to evacuate Boyang and let Cao Cao's army march into Qingzhou. On the same day, Kong Rong's general Tai Shici received an order from Cao Cao and Liu Bei, the two major leaders of the Second Dong Alliance, to lead the elite of the Qingzhou Army to Bishui Pass to take over the defense of Cao Cao's army.

On July 13 of the third year of the Han Dynasty, Cao Cao led the head of the tiger and leopard cavalry across Surabaya and entered the territory of Qingzhou, and Cao Cao's army moved the people of Yanzhou under the leadership of Guo Jia. On the same day, the Xuzhou army withdrew from Boyang, but the whole territory of Xuzhou was under martial law, and an elite Danyang soldier of the Xuzhou army infiltrated Qingzhou under the leadership of Guan Yu.

On July 19 of the third year of the Han Dynasty, Guan Yu led the Danyang soldiers to raid the squadron of Cao Cao's army halfway and rescued Liu Bei, who was kidnapped by Cao Cao's army.

On July 22 of the third year of the Han Dynasty, the vanguard of Cao Cao's army arrived at Beihai, where the defense was empty, although Kong Rong heard a little rumor, he did not dare to meet him easily, but Cao Cao's army risked his life to open the Beihai City Gate, and the tiger and leopard rode the opportunity to kill Beihai City, Xu Rong beheaded Kong Rong in the palace, Cao Cao's army controlled Beihai, and Cheng Yu, Li Dian, Cao's relatives and others were in charge of Qingzhou's affairs, and gradually controlled Qingzhou.

In the same month, Cao Cao made a list of Anmin, claiming that Kong Rong's cannibalism was equivalent to eating parrots and orangutans, and that the reason for eating orangutans was against the principles of human morality, and blamed Kong Rong for the huge thunder from the sky. The Taishi Ci army was defeated by Cao Cao's ambush on the way, and the Tai Shi Ci army was defeated by a blow without reinforcements outside and no grain and grass inside, and Tai Shi Ci led a few defeated troops to Xuzhou to join Liu Bei. At the same time, Cao Cao's army and Liu Bei's army had a bad relationship, and the second alliance against Dong finally broke down completely under internal and external difficulties, so that Dong Zhuojun could concentrate on dealing with the Yizhou army and avoid the dilemma of fighting on two or even three sides.

Cao Cao's army also had an unexpected gain, Xiahou Dun's army retreated to Qingzhou on the way, the hungry Cao Cao's army was all over the mountains to hunt birds and beasts to satisfy hunger, Xiahou Dun inadvertently shot down a carrier pigeon, and since then Dong Zhuojun's rapid communication has been discovered, but Cao Cao and Guo Jia have kept this matter secret, but secretly stepped up the pigeon training......

Of course, Kang Peng didn't know that one of his killer features had been known to Cao Cao's army, and he only cared about how much population base Cao Cao still had left in his hands after these turmoil, and whether it would pose a threat to him.

"Xianggong, it's getting late, you should rest." Fu Yu's little hand pulled Kang Peng's hard beard and woke Kang Peng from his contemplation, "You have suffered from the wind and cold, this is too hard." ”

Kang Peng was lying on Fu Yu's lap, and when he heard Fu Yu's words of concern, he couldn't help but be lustful, and pulled Fu Yu, who never took the initiative to make love to him, into his arms, rubbed her small chest and said, "What's the hurry?" It's not too late to rest after doing the things between husband and wife. Fu Yu was ashamed and was about to refuse, but he was already pressed under Kang Peng.

After the madness, Fu Yu lay in Kang Peng's arms and gasped: "Xianggong, Miss Wuxue is infatuated with you, I see that you are not unaffectionate to her, why don't you take her into the room?" It's the best of both worlds. ”

Kang Peng smiled lewdly and pinched her little face, "Madam, let your husband accept the concubine, aren't you jealous?" ”

Fu Yu's tender face rubbed against Kang Peng's hairy chest for a while, and after a clumsy flattery, he said shamefully: "If it were another woman, of course I would be jealous, but I won't be able to do it, because she let me know that I don't know how blessed I am, with you being so gentle and considerate and heroic and invincible Xianggong, I don't know your good ......" Fu Yu's voice became lower and lower, and his little face became more and more red, "Xianggong, do you know?" When you jumped off the Yellow River, I realized that my husband turned out to be the best person in the world, no wonder Sister Cai would follow you desperately......"

Kang Peng smirked, and said in his heart that if you knew that I accidentally fell into the Yellow River, then I'm afraid you won't be so well-behaved, it seems that I have fallen well, at least in exchange for my wife's sincerity, and Da Qiao's sincerity, it seems that I will think of more ways to buy people's hearts in the future, don't be as honest as before, only care about doing good things and forget about publicity.

Fu Yu suddenly put his little mouth to Kang Peng's ear and said softly: "Xianggong, the snowless girl is in the tent next door, do you want me to call her over?" Kang Peng patted her little face and said with a smile: "I'll talk about her later, let's work hard tonight and strive to let you give me a son." ”

Da Qiao is already in the palm of his hand, so why rush for a while? For now, let's wrap my wife's heart first, Kang Peng said in his heart.
