The city of Jibei, which stands on the shore of the Yellow Horn, witnessed a tragic battle just three months ago. The once red, scorching blood stained the entire city wall. Tens of thousands of people fell outside the city.

And now, time flies, and three months have passed in the blink of an eye. In addition to the traces on the city wall, the traces of the great war in today's Jibei City can also show the cruelty of the day, and the traces of the war have basically been eliminated.

Since Cao De conquered Jibei City, the army rested in the city for nearly two months, and then after Cao Deshuai crossed the Yellow River north, Jibei City returned to its former tranquility.

The people who were scattered to escape the war because of the ravages of the Yellow Turban Army also gradually returned to Jibei City after Cao De left with the army. The land that was barren due to the war has been re-rested, and the green crops will grow again in the spring of next year; Houses that were damaged by the war have also been repaired and continue to shelter people from the wind and rain.

When Cao De left Jibei City with the army, he only left the No. 10 soldiers in Jibei City to take care of the seriously injured soldiers who could not be taken away because of the army's advance at that time. In total, there are nearly 500 soldiers left in Jibei City at the moment.

They had been waiting for the return of the army for three months in Jibei City.

Just today, the left-behind centurion, who had just finished his vigil, was handing over his mission. A soldier who had just been put on duty came running in a hurry, and as he ran, he shouted, "General, the general is back."

When the centurion who was arranging the task heard this, he froze in place for three seconds, and then the centurion came to the city wall as fast as he could, looking into the distance.

What caught his eye was a long, winding and spectacular dragon. At the front of the long dragon was a big flag, a big flag that they wanted to see day and night. A banner with the word 'Cao' in red on a black background was crossed by the rising sun with a layer of gold. The three-color flag is flying in the wind.

Gradually, the centurion's eyes on the city wall moistened a little, and suddenly, he turned to the soldiers behind him who were still stunned and shouted: "What are you still doing in a daze, blowing drums and trumpets, gathering all the brothers, and going to the city to meet the general." Fast. ”

The centurion's words immediately caused a thousand waves. The beating of the drum, the blowing of the trumpet. The entire Jibei City suddenly boiled again.

Soon, Cao De slowly came to the city of Jibei with a large army, and the first thing that caught Cao De's eye was a small phalanx at the gate of the city. This phalanx consisted of less than four hundred people. But their momentum was not inferior to that of a few thousand troops. Cao De glanced up, the flags on the city wall were blown by the wind, and the soldiers standing at their posts stood like giants between heaven and earth.

Then he grabbed the reins, rolled over and jumped off the horse. Strode to the front of the small phalanx in front of the gate of Jibei City.

"General, congratulations on the victorious return of the general." The centurion stepped forward and said loudly to Cao De. Cao De nodded and said, "Li Hong, the only centurion left behind in Jibei City that day. Am I right? How is it, how are you doing in Jibei City? ”

What Li Hong never expected was that Cao De actually knew his name and spoke so gently. Li Hong suddenly felt that Cao De in front of him had lost his position as a general, but was just the eldest brother of the neighborhood. After being stunned for a while, he hurriedly said: "Back to the general, it is not bad to have a good time with the brothers, and every day the brothers are always looking forward to the general's victorious return as soon as possible." After Li Hong finished speaking, he realized how presumptuous his answer was. After reacting, Li Hong immediately knelt on the ground, "I offended the general by my humble duties, and I beg the general to punish him." ”

Cao De laughed, pulled up Li Hong, who was kneeling on the ground, and said, "Thank you brothers for your concern, how can I Cao De be so concerned by the brothers." With the help of such brothers, I Cao De has no regrets in life and death. However, for Li Hongru's offense, the punishment should be punished, and you will be punished for drinking three jars of wine tonight. ”

Whether it was Li Hong or the soldiers behind Li Hong, it was really the first time he had heard of such a punishment. I didn't react for a while. After Cao De glanced at the expressions of the soldiers, he said sternly: "Li Hong listens to the order. ”

Li Hong knelt down on one knee and replied loudly: "Li Hong is here!" ”

"Let you prepare the memorial supplies immediately. I will pay tribute to the brothers who died under the city of Jibei. ”

Soon, an offering table was placed at the gate of Jibei City. The offering table was filled with various offerings. At the front of the offering table was a large incense burner with a stick of incense sticking on it. Cao De took a stick of incense and respectfully shook it on the offering table, and then inserted the incense in his hand on the incense burner. Then Cao De turned around, faced the neatly arranged 8,000 troops, and said loudly: "Three months ago, our army and the Yellow Turban Army fought here. There are more than 6,000 brothers buried here, and General Liao Hua fought bloodily, exhausted and died heroically. Although our army and the Yellow Turban Army fought for themselves. But I will not tolerate those who kill my brothers. ”

After Cao De finished speaking, he looked around at the soldiers, waved his hand and said, "Take Zhang Bao!" ”

Soon Zhang Bao was brought to Cao De with his hands tied behind his back. Cao De pointed at Zhang Bao and continued: "Brothers, look carefully, this person is the culprit who killed my brother. Today, Cao De Cao Anbang finally captured this person alive, and he can finally use this to pay tribute to his brother who died for me. ”

Cao De choked and pulled out the ring-headed knife on his waist, "Brothers, this is the end of my brother." With that, Cao De cut off Zhang Bao's head with a knife. Bright red blood instantly sprayed out from the broken part of his neck, and at the same time, it also sprayed Cao De's body. The headless body fell to the ground with a pop of blood. Cao De grabbed the hair on his skull and placed the still dripping head on the offering table.

Then, Cao De lit the third pillar of incense, and after making a gesture, he inserted the incense in his hand into the incense burner again. Then, Cao De hugged the sky with his hands and shouted loudly: "Brothers, rest in peace." ”

Subsequently, the more than 8,000 soldiers behind Cao De did not know who led them and shouted in unison, "The general is mighty, the general is mighty." ”

In fact, Cao De is also a little weak in doing this. In the national civil war since ancient times, no one can tell who is right and who is wrong. To put it bluntly, the two warring sides are in different camps, each with its own master. However, since ancient times, there has been a saying that the winner is the king and the loser is the villain. Now that Cao De's official army camp has been victorious, the peasant uprising represented by the Yellow Turban Army has become a thief. If it is the other way around, Cao De is a lackey who aids in abuse.

At first, Cao De's revenge slogan when he crossed the Yellow River was far-fetched, but in order to boost morale, Cao De needed to do so. Now, Zhang Bao has been caught by Cao De, and the revenge is half avenged. As long as Zhang Bao is killed, the revenge that Cao De said will be completed. But Cao De not only had to kill, but also killed in front of all the soldiers, and even ran to Jibei City to kill. In this way, Cao De's persuasiveness will be stronger, and Cao De will further unite the hearts of the soldiers. Therefore, no matter how far-fetched Cao De feels, how embarrassed he feels, Zhang Bao wants to kill, and the people he wants to kill can be known.

The simple and solemn sacrifice soon ended. Cao De did not enter the city with a large army, but found a random place to rest temporarily.

During this period, Cao De, Xu Shu and others discussed and decided to divide the army into two routes. One of them, Cao Ren and Zhang Fei rushed to Dengcheng with 7,000 infantry first, and joined Pei Yuanshao, who had been staying in Dengcheng. Then Zhang Fei and Pei Yuanshao rushed back to Hanzhong with a large group of people. Cao Ren stayed in Dengcheng and returned to Hanzhong after making his hands and feet. On the other hand, Cao De, Xu Shu and Zhou Cang rushed to Luoyang with a thousand cavalry to join Huangfu Song and enter the palace to face the saint. After the Luoyang incident was over, the three of them took the cavalry from Liangzhou in a circle and returned to Hanzhong. Cao De's original intention in arranging this measure was to return to Hanzhong for the New Year!

After the army made adjustments, in the afternoon of the same day, the two armies set off separately and embarked on their way home.
