On the pipeline in Chang'an City, three knights wearing red cloaks and high feathers on their heads, each carrying a big bamboo tube with three small red flags on it, galloped out of the gate of Chang'an City.

A hawker who had just drunk a belly of dust said to his peers: "I just went in an eight-hundred-mile rush, why did three more come out immediately." ”

"Stupid, naturally there is an urgent military business. I don't know that our prime minister has raised 340,000 troops to conquer Liu Bei. Presumably, our army has won a great victory! The fruit buyer next to him said.

"By the way, have you noticed that the three knights who went out just now seem to be staring at Gao Lingyu on their heads? Isn't Gao Lingyu only the prime minister's personal guards able to take it? The previous vendor said,

"I saw it. It is precisely because of this that it is a more important military order. Well, concentrate on selling your dishes. It won't be long before someone from the Prime Minister's Hall will come here to post a notice, and then we will know what is going on. The fruit vendor pointed to a notice stand not far away.

And the three knights who were carrying an eight-hundred-mile rush on their backs, and less than twenty miles out of Chang'an, one of the knights said to his companions: "We are the prime minister's personal soldiers, and we actually did the work of post soldiers today." I really don't know what Shang Shuling thinks. ”

The elite of the three elites was originally a little unhappy because Cao De left them in Chang'an, and today they actually used a knife to kill chickens. If you don't get angry, how can you let the super special forces go to see the border monument!

"Alright, stop complaining. Remember, you must deliver the emergency report safely and quickly to the hands of the two military advisors. The prime minister's side is the farthest, I'll go. Although you two have just arrived, don't embarrass Lao Tzu! ”

"Got it, big brother. Is it really so prudent to send an urgent report? The young knight from before said,

"Fart, if you say it again, I'll send you back to the Hanzhong camp." The Boss seemed angry.

"I was wrong, big brother!" The knight said with a look of horror on his face. It was not easy to be selected into Chang'an, but it was pushed back, since the establishment of the pro-guard battalion, this is not a thing.

Does it want to set this precedent?

"Alright, when we get here, we'll have to go our separate ways. Remember, no matter what, if you die, you'll have to send a war report before you die. ”

"No!"

"Drive!"

Fifty miles after leaving Chang'an City, the road has been separated, all the way to the east to Luoyang; All the way to the south, leading to Nanyang; The last way is to Youzhou!

In terms of distance, it is nothing more than that Youzhou, where Cao De is located, is the farthest, and Kaifeng City, where Guo Jia is located, is undoubtedly the closest!

"Report! General Qiyu, military division, Chang'an emergency military report! ”

"Urgent military report?" Guo Jia was shocked and quickly stood up from his position.

Since Cao De started the army, Jia Xu has almost always held the position of a kind general manager. And since Guo Jia joined the Cao De Group until now, Jia Xu has almost never sent a military report. Moreover, Cao De knows that communication is really time-consuming now, so every time he goes out on an expedition, the leading general has the right to be arbitrary and cut first and then play. Jia Xu, who stayed in the rear, never intervened in the battle ahead.

And today, Jia Xu actually sent a military newspaper unusually!

"Quick, bring it in!" Guo Jia said as he greeted the military report.

A small piece of paper poured out of the turquoise bamboo tube, but when Guo Jia read the content of the letter, he immediately handed the letter to Zhao Yun. After that, Guo Jia immediately ordered: "Come here, send an order to the three armies, and each battalion can prepare their bags." Just bring enough troops to return to Hanzhong with rations immediately! ”

Originally, under the command of Zhao Yun and Guo Jia, all the generals were discussing in the big tent. As soon as Guo Jia's words came out, the generals' eyes widened in unison.

"Strategist, our army has just arrived in Kaifeng, but we haven't opened the meat yet, why do we have to return to Hanzhong!"

"Yes, Strategist. I finally looked forward to the prime minister's order to send troops, how could I immediately retreat! ”

These two speakers are naturally Yan Liang and Wen Chou, who can't lift their butts in Chang'an.

"Strategist." At this time, Huang Zhong, as a deputy general, stood up and said: "My army has spent a lot of money and food when it comes from Tongguan, and the military division has ordered to give up most of the military rations in the army, why?" ”

While the three of them were talking, Zhao Yun also finished reading Jia Xu's letter. The generals listened to the order, immediately returned to the camp to pack their bags, and the army immediately set off to return to Hanzhong at dawn tomorrow. The grain, grass and equipment in the army are all disposed of according to the instructions of the military division. ”

"No!"

Zhao Yun is the main general, and even if the rest of the people are unwilling in their hearts, they can only swallow it in their stomachs.

It's just that when everyone turned to leave, Zhao Yun suddenly called out to Huang Zhong again.

"General Huang, stay!"

"Something is wrong with the general?" Huang Zhong turned around and asked.

After the rest of the people left, Zhao Yun handed the military report in his hand to Huang Zhong.

"I need to resign to Cao Gong immediately. This requires General Huang Lao to assist the military division to complete the affairs of the battalion! ”

Huang Zhong read the letter, clenched his fists and said: "The old man is wrong to blame the general and the military advisor, don't blame it." General, go with confidence! Huang will live up to the trust. ”

"Then please the old general! Strategist, this matter is very important, don't spread it. After Zhao Yun finished speaking to Guo Jia, Guo Jia replied to Zhao Yun and said, "The general must pay attention to Cao Gong!" ”

"I understand it below!" Zhao Yun sighed and said.

————

"King Wei, General Zilong asks to see!"

"Please!" Cao Cao was about to rest his tired brain, but he didn't expect Zhao Yun to come suddenly.

"Meet Cao Gong below!"

"Zilong, please get up." Zhao Yun represents Cao De here. Moreover, Zhao Yun is indeed very much in line with Cao Cao's appetite. Fortunately, Zhao Yun is Cao De's person, otherwise Cao Cao would definitely have to dig Zhao Yun over.

"Cao Gong. I came here this time to bid farewell to Cao Gong! ”

"Resignation? Zilong is talking about the army? Cao Cao was stunned, why did he just come and leave. But it's okay if you're gone, the 100,000 army will have to stay here.

"Duke Cao, the prime minister's military order has been sent, and my 100,000 troops will return to Hanzhong immediately." Zhao Yun said with some embarrassment. After all, it didn't help me to come so far away, and it was only a few days before the army had to return.

"Military orders? But what happened in Han China? In an instant, Cao Cao had already thought of countless possibilities in his mind, but no matter what, it was not the turn of the army to go back to the rescue.

"It was not written in the prime minister's military order, but he was asked to immediately lead the army back to Hanzhong. Cao Gong, retire under the next! Zhao Yun really didn't want to continue to entangle with Cao Cao, so he hurriedly left by himself.

The next day, before Cao Cao could figure out why Cao De's army suddenly retreated, Cheng Yu came, "Qi Wei Wang, Cao Gong's army has left, leaving only an empty camp and mountains of grain, grass, and ordnance. ”

What Cao Cao didn't know was that the day after Zhao Yun and Guo Jia retreated, they were under the city of Xiangyang in Jingzhou in the south. After Liu Biao's army woke up, he was surprised to find that the Cao army outside the city had disappeared.

At first, the defenders in Xiangyang City thought that this was a trick played by Xu Shu, but when a bold man was sent to check it out, they were sure that Cao De's army had really retreated. Because, in that big camp that spread for more than ten miles, there was no one!
