"What? How, how so? Sima Zhongda's strategy is already the top in the world, even I am a little embarrassed, but with his wisdom, he can't see through Pei Qing's strategy, he is too powerful, right? What is especially pitiful is that my disciple Xiao died in Yecheng, which is embarrassing. Cao Cao was shocked when he heard the report of Sima Yi, who had fled to Changshan Kingdom, and learned that Pei Qing had entered Yecheng and welcomed back the Son of Heaven, and his brother Cao Ren was killed in battle.
But now it's useless to be sentimental, as the Son of Heaven falls into the hands of Pei Qing, the righteous name in his own hands no longer exists, and then Pei Qing will inevitably order a crusade against himself in the name of the Son of Heaven, so in this way, he will be in a situation where everyone shouts and fights, plus his previous foundation has all been lost, and the land he occupies now is just occupied, and the people are not attached, but it may help the enemy, even if he dies, there will be many people who are rebellious, for the sake of today, There is only one way to avoid the disaster, and that is to cross the sea and escape far away, or go to Liaodong, or go east to the Japanese slaves, and carve out a world of their own there.
At this time, Guo Jia was also trying to persuade Cao Cao: "Lord, Rong Jia is telling the truth, at this time, people's hearts are in turmoil, morale is sharply reduced, and our army is no longer able to fight with Pei Qing in a dignified manner, so in order to protect ourselves, we have only one way, that is, our last resort, please ask the lord to order the army to rush to the Bohai Kingdom immediately, and the army will be far away, Pei Qing is now busy dealing with various government affairs, and has no strength to take care of us. ”
After listening to Guo Jia's words, Sima Yi, Dian Wei, Li Dian, Le Jin, Cheng Yu, Man Chong, Cao Hong, Cao Xiu, Cao Zhen, Cao Chun, Shi Jian and others all followed Guo Jia to persuade Cao Cao and ask Cao Cao to make a decision, even if he fled overseas, it was much better than dying here senselessly.
Cao Cao knew that these were loyal ministers, and at the same time there were many others who were silent, and Cao Cao could see that many of these people were shaken, and most of them were willing to follow Cao Cao overseas to live a savage life.
Cao Cao sighed when he saw this, and said to them: "If you really don't want to go, then stay, Cao is not reluctant to the dukes, but I hope that in our past friendships, we can keep it a little secret for us, and don't reveal our whereabouts." ”
Then Cao Cao ordered the whole army to evacuate immediately and go directly to the Bohai State, and at the same time ordered Xiahou Yuan, the chief general of the Hejian State, to also drive the army to the Bohai Sea, and ordered the general Xiahou Yuan to prepare to cross the sea, plunder the craftsmen, grain, farmers, cattle, etc., and cross the sea together.
Of course, in the process of leaving, Cao Cao also had to guard against the enemy army chasing and killing behind, so he personally led the army to the rear of the palace, and deployed the ambush, sure enough, it didn't take long for Yan Liang and Wen Chou to chase, Cao Cao ambushed the troops together, ten thousand crossbows were fired together, Yan Liang and Wen Chou suffered heavy losses, and the generals under his command were even more killed under the arrows, Yan Liang and Wen Chou suffered this defeat, and withdrew their troops in a slippery manner, and since then the road has been smooth, Cao Cao has successfully arrived in the Bohai Sea.
Cao Cao's movements this time were very fast, it was simply a quick knife to cut through the mess, and all the people who should have wanted to be abandoned were abandoned, and the advancing teams all gave up their baggage and traveled lightly, so the speed was so fast.
The reason for this is very simple, Yuan Shang has a lot of countless supplies in the treasury of Bohai, and in the process of their escape, Xiahou Yuan has prepared everything, so why should they bother to bring these things back? Except for wasting time, it does almost nothing.
When he came to the seaport in the southeast of Zhangwu County, Xiahou Yuan did everything, prepared thousands of big ships, in addition to food, materials and equipment, there were a total of nearly 50,000 soldiers, 100,000 people, as well as ploughing oxen, ploughs and hoes and other things, the soldiers were better with each other, they were afraid of military law, and the formation was quite strict, but the people were all in a mess, and they were uneasy in their hearts, and there were children crying in the middle.
However, all this could not be controlled, time was limited, Cao Cao ordered to board the ship, so the people boarded the ship under the supervision of the soldiers, the soldiers boarded the ship under the supervision of the generals, and the generals boarded the ship under the supervision of the generals of a higher level......
In the end, thousands of big ships were stuffed to the brim, at this time the sky was beautiful, the northwest wind was blowing fiercely, Cao Cao ordered people to pull up the sails, and thousands of big ships left the port in a mighty way, heading into the distance.
"I'm gone, I don't know if there will be a chance to return to the Shenzhou Continent in the future? I can't compete with Pei Qing in this Han world, there is fertile land, rich products, and an enviable standard of living, but unfortunately all this is goodbye to me, from now on I will flee to a foreign land, and reproduce the civilization of the Han Dynasty in the wilderness, I don't know how many people there are? How long will it take me to actually build my kingdom? ”
Cao Cao is full of worries, but he doesn't have much worry about the future, after all, no matter how terrible a foreign country is, it is not as terrible as Pei Qing, he believes that no matter where he is, as long as he doesn't meet Pei Qing, with so many talents under his command, it is enough to gain a firm foothold.
As for the loyalty of the people who put them on, Cao Cao didn't have to worry about it, if it was on land, he was afraid that those people would have any different intentions, but when they went to the sea, or even later in a foreign land, these Han people naturally had to unite in order to deal with the harsher environment.
It's just that what makes Cao Cao sad the most is that he may never be able to return to Dahan in his life, if it weren't for Pei Qing, he would at least be able to unify the Central Plains, right?
But there is no if, Pei Qing is now alive in this world, and he is driving him to the sea step by step.
In fact, Cao Cao was most worried about all kinds of natural disasters, such as storms, such as waves, such as reefs, but fortunately, after more than ten days of work, everything went smoothly, among which only one ship carrying people hit the reef and sank, and the impact was not great.
However, another worrying thing happened to Cao Cao, Guo Jia fell ill, and the illness became more and more serious, and finally died on the ship.
On his deathbed, Guo Jia still remembered Cao Cao's career, sighed and said: "It's a pity that I can't accompany the lord to build a great cause together, the lord's kindness can only be reported in the next life, this time Jia on the occasion of boarding, a little selfish, the dog Guo Yi because of his young age, was quietly sent to a farmer to raise, Jia whenever he thinks about this, he is ashamed, ashamed of the lord's kindness......"
Cao Cao couldn't help but burst into tears when he heard Guo Jia's words, because he knew that Guo Jia's health was not good, and he forcibly dragged his sick body to plan for him these days, and went through continuous bumps, which led to his death.
"Fengxiao, Fengxiao, all of this is a burden on you, I hope you can bless me, find a piece of land rich in products, and bless me to lead my soldiers to expand the territory and establish a hegemony!" Cao Cao choked up and secretly prayed to Guo Jia.
