After Cao Cao arrived at Zhao Yun and Guo Jia's camp, the neatly arranged tents were not removed, and all kinds of military supplies were piled up in the place where the grain, grass and equipment were piled up.

"King Wei, it seems that Cao Gong's army is not retreating, but more like fleeing!"

This scene is completely like a defeated army retreating in a hurry. And Zhao Yun and Guo Jia also walked too fast. I told Cao Cao yesterday afternoon that I was leaving, and by the next morning, I couldn't see a shadow anymore. Although Cao De's efficiency has always been very high, there is no need to be so high.

"King Wei, inferring from this situation, what happened to Han China if it wasn't Cao Gong?"

Before the battle was fought, the soldiers withdrew. Then there is the greatest possibility of problems at home.

Later, Cao Cao found a letter left by Zhao Yun in Zhao Yun's Chinese army tent. Roughly speaking, Cao Gong, very embarrassed. You see we came in a hurry, and we left in a hurry. This time, it doesn't seem to be of much help. However, our prime minister said that the armament and grain left here should be used as compensation for you.

After Cao Cao read it speechlessly, he ordered the soldiers to move the materials in the camp to Kaifeng City, and this just solved the problem that Cao Cao's military food was not very abundant.

Cao Cao's harvest is not small, but there is another person who has gained more than Cao Cao, and that is Liu Biao.

When Xu Shu led 100,000 troops to the city, Liu Biao's letter was delivered to Jing Yue and Cai Mao in time.

Although Xiangyang City has been transformed by Liu Biao, Cao De's army is inevitably too much. Moreover, as long as Xiangyang City is broken, Liu Biaoke, who stays in Jiangling, will be in danger.

So, these two people combined. We have to go back and save the lord alone. But who is more suitable, it is naturally Jing Yue. But there is another problem, Jing Yue is gone, and Cai Mao alone is definitely not the opponent of Xiahoudun and Xu Huang. Moreover, in the past few days, the Cao army opposite Cai Mao has been supplemented by reinforcements, and they have attacked their own camp vigorously. Jing Yue was afraid that as long as he left, Cai Mao would have to lose the battle. Then Liu Biao's advantage in Yuzhou will be gone. But if Cai Mao is allowed to lead the army back, Jing Yue will be even more uneasy.

This attack on Xiangyang was Cao De's chief military advisor, Xu Shu. Will Cai Mao be Xu Shu's opponent, I'm afraid that the two armies haven't clashed yet, and Cai Mao can't even have bones left.

After thinking about it, it is not suitable for anyone to go back, but Xiangyang City has to be saved. There was no way, Jing Yue had no choice but to make a plan for Cai Mao to stick to the battle, and then Jing Yue led an army of 20,000 to Xiangyang City in a hurry.

When Jing Yue arrived near Xiangyang City, a large military camp appeared. Moreover, this camp seems to be a little flustered. Golden opportunity!

Jing Yue gave an order, and 20,000 Jingzhou soldiers who saved their families rushed in with a roar. But when their knives were revealed, they found out that they seemed to be from their own family when they were in the barracks.

After questioning, Jing Yue learned that Xu Shu had disappeared a day earlier. Moreover, it is not known for what reason. However, when looking at the grain, grass, and equipment stored in the camp, especially the siege equipment, Jing Yue always felt that something was not right.

Even if Cao De's army withdraws, then these things will have to be taken with them. But Jing Yue's children are curious, even if Cao De's army withdrew, why didn't he meet them.

While Jing Yue was thinking about the problem, he had already taken a carriage to the outside of Xiangyang City. And when Jing Yue saw the walls and gates of Xiangyang City, Jing Yue was even more curious.

Obviously, one day, if there is another wave of attacks, Xiangyang City will be broken. But why did Cao Jun retreat at this juncture. Immediately, Jing Yue immediately sent out a large number of sentry horses to explore the location of Xu Shu's army. However, a day or two later, I still haven't seen Cao Jun's hair.

Perhaps, they are really gone. So, Jing Yue was relieved, moved, and moved back to Xiangyang City for me. These things are all the enemy's, don't want them in vain.

While Jing Yue was busy packing up his things, Cao De, who was in the far north, finally received a warning from Jia Xu.

The plague is coming! Coming from Jiangdong, in more than ten days, the entire Huiji County has been a sea of viruses. Please withdraw your troops immediately.

To be honest, Cao De's situation is also different from Zhao Yun and Cao Ren.

The battle that Zhao Yun and Cao Ren participated in was, after all, a civil war that belonged to the Han itself. We are a family, and we can play as much as we like. But Cao De is faced with a tough neighbor who wants to grab something. Cao De can't let his strong neighbors plunder because of family affairs. Moreover, the army is different from different people. The plague spread rapidly among the army, and due to the density of the population, it could take only one night for the entire battalion to collapse. However, if it does not retreat, according to Jia Xu, the plague will spread very quickly. It is estimated that it will take two or three months at most to arrive in Youzhou from Jiangdong. In two or three months, Cao De needed to defeat Kebineng and also had to withdraw his troops back to Hanzhong. No matter how you look at it, there is not enough time. Most importantly. There are 300,000 people under Kebineng's command, and Cao De's original plan was to bury all these 300,000 people. If you dare to come, you must be prepared to die here.

It's not to retreat, it's not to retreat, Cao De is worried.

At this time, Zhang Liao, who came to report on military affairs, happened to see Cao De's tightly knit brows, so Zhang Liao said: "If the boss has any troubles, say it, let's solve it together." ”

Cao Dezheng was worried that he had no one to discuss, but Zhang Liao sent it to the door by himself. So, Cao De explained the situation to Zhang Liao.

Zhang Liao thought about it carefully and said, "Anyway, our goal is to let Xianbei people die. Death in battle and death from disease are also deaths. Then can we go to Jiangdong to find some sick people and send them to the north......

Poison! It's poisonous! This trick is really poisonous!

Put some primers yourself, so that Xianbei people love how to contag. It is better to bring it back to the prairie and infect the whole prairie.

But Cao De shook his head after hearing this. "No, if this plague can't cross the Yellow River, and we take the sick across the Yellow River, then we will be sinners for the ages! No, it doesn't work. ”

Yes, there is a plague in this Youzhou, and it is absolutely impossible to develop only to the north, if the plague goes south, then the people of Jizhou will also suffer. Moreover, if you stop the plague on your own this time, our approach will undoubtedly push it again.

After Cao De denied it, Zhang Liao thought of another idea. "In that case, there is another way to go."

When Zhang Liao finished speaking, Cao De slapped the table, "Okay, it's decided." This plan can be executed. But who's going to do it? ”

Zhang Liao said without thinking: "Since a subordinate proposed it, let it be completed by a subordinate." ”

Cao De looked at Zhang Liao, this kid is excited, maybe he can succeed, but the infectious disease department of the plague doesn't look at you if you are clever.

As soon as Zhang Liao saw Cao De's expression, he knew that Cao De was worried about himself. So Zhang Liao said again: "Prime Minister." Everything is dangerous. It's coming, won't I run? Please rest assured, Prime Minister. ”

Cao De looked at Zhang Liao's face and knew that Zhang Liao had made up his mind. "Okay, so be it. It's just that I'm sending you a general who is familiar with the Xianbei people to cooperate? ”

"What the prime minister said is General Meng Qi, so there is no need. Let the general go back with the prime minister. ”

"Nope! Far. You are not familiar with the Xianbei people. Let's let Meng Qi stay. Well, that's it. Cao De looked at Zhang Liao, who was about to refuse again, and immediately said categorically.

Two days later, outside Dai County!

"Take care, Prime Minister!"

"Wen Yuan, Meng Qi, take care!"
