Due to the border concession incident in Yanzhou, Cao Ying could no longer pursue Yuan Shu, for the sake of internal stability, and in order to prevent the invasion of Liu Biao and other well-intentioned people, Cao Ying finally retreated back to Yanzhou.

This three-way battle is completely over. Of course, as a result, it is obvious that Yuan Shu can be called a complete failure, and both Cao Ying and Liu Biao can be regarded as winners, and they are the type to win easily and smoothly.

Although Liu Biao encountered stubborn resistance when attacking Nanyang at the beginning, with the collapse of Yuan Shu on the Yanzhou front line without a fight, the morale of Yuan Shu's Nanyang defenders instantly became low, and then Liu Biao naturally won easily.

As for Yuan Shu, who escaped the catastrophe, it was really as speculated by Guo Jia, Zhou Yu and others. After losing the base of Nanyang, he was driven to the Huaishui Valley by Cao Ying, and after integrating the remnants of the defeated generals and relieving himself, Yuan Shu continued to go south and gathered scattered troops to attack Shouchun, the current Yangzhou Zhizhi. Sure enough, the strong have their own strong players, and the weak have their own weak players. There is no weakest force, only weaker force.

Yuan Shu, who had just been beaten to the ground by Cao Ying, was now just gathering some stragglers, and without any morale at all, he was able to expel Chen Yu, the assassin of Yangzhou. Compared with Chen Yu, Yuan Shu can be called a master.

Then, Yuan Shu, who occupied Shouchun, the seat of Yangzhou Zhishu, decisively called himself the Assassin of Yangzhou, and also led the Xuzhou Mu. occupied the Huainan area, and for a time it was mixed with wind and water. It's not that Sun Ce is deliberately belittled, but the difficulty of making things happen in this part of Jiangdong is indeed low. This is also the reason why since ancient times the north has dominated the south, and there are very few examples of the south defeating the north. It is really a lot of wars in the Central Plains, and the people are fierce.

Of course, at this time, the war on Shouchun's side is not over. There is definite information that Cao Ying's envoy is already on his way to Yangzhou. On the surface, he came to discuss with Yangzhou to deal with Yuan Shu together, but Cao Ying is not ready to fight for the time being, so this so-called negotiation actually has no effect at all, and Cao Ying can't help Yangzhou and contain Yuan Shu in the north. Therefore, Cao Ying's actual purpose in sending envoys to Yangzhou was to pick up Guo Jia.

After all, what happened like that before, Guo Jia's bodyguards are already pitiful, and it can be said that if there is any more accident, Guo Jia and his party may be wiped out. Therefore, just in case, Cao Ying will send someone to pick up Guo Jia and escort Guo Jia back to Yanzhou after the war with Yuan Shu has stopped.

The two countries are at war, and they have not yet been killed. In addition, the people sent by Cao Ying are enough, although they can't ensure safety 100%, they can already ensure Guo Jia's safety as much as possible.

It can be seen that Cao Ying really put a lot of effort into Guo Jia. Just as Chen Gong said: Guo Jia is a real favorite minister! Not only did Guo Jia leave his work and go out, but let his bodyguards protect Guo Jia, Guo Jia had an accident outside, and he had to find a way to take care of him at any time. This is simply paid leave, publicly-funded travel, with a translator and bodyguards, and the unit can help and be responsible if something happens, my son?

In short, before the envoy arrived, Guo Jia and his entourage stayed in Jiangdu for the time being, and would no longer run around at will

Guo Jia and Dian Wei asked people to find a nearby tavern, but before they could get to the place, they encountered something. Of course, it's just a trivial matter, and it has nothing to do with Guo Jia at all. But who is Dian Wei? That's a chivalrous man who loves to fight and be nosy. And Guo Jia himself is also in a bad mood today, so Guo Jia plans to take care of this kind of idle matter.

In fact, the matter is really pitiful, just two drunkards, who seem to be some kind of gangsters who do not do their jobs, bullying a poor old man who sells wild fruits on the side of the road.

"Suck! What is it? So sour! You want to sour my master, I'm right?! A thug took a bite of a fruit and spit it out.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, since it's too sour, then don't want money." The old man hurriedly said.

"What?! You still want money?! Another thug shouted.

"No money, no money! I said I don't want money! The old man said in a panic, in the face of such a gangster, he didn't dare to resist at all. As for the government or something, in this era, many places are colluding with black and white, a nest of snakes and rats, not only does no one take care of this kind of thing, maybe it is raised by the people of the government!

"In that case, let's talk about something else." A thug shook his head.

"What else?" The old man asked cautiously.

"What's the matter? Old man, do you really not know, or do you not know? Are you new here? Don't you know who is covering it here? Don't you know how much money you have to pay to sell things here?! The thug said proudly.

"I'm new here, I really don't know about this kind of thing, I'll leave now, leave immediately!" The old man hurriedly began to pack his things and prepare to leave.

A thug stood in front of the old man and snorted coldly, "What? Want to leave without giving money? How can there be such a good thing in the world?! ”

"Uncle, I just came, and I haven't sold anything, I really don't have any money!" The old man appealed, obviously he is the uncle, but he has to call someone who doesn't know how many years younger than him is the uncle, this kind of thing is really ironic enough.

"Old man, you still want to lie to me! Just now I saw a little girl buy fruit from you and leave. That money seems to be hidden here by you, right? The little thug suddenly stretched out his hand, and the old man instantly covered his clothes and cried, "Please, please, this money is for my child's treatment, you can do it!" ”

"Who cares so much about you! Rules are rules, today this one is seriously ill, tomorrow the one starves to death, then we can't collect money?! The master is not engaged in charity, if you don't give it today, you have to give, and you have to give. As for the seriously ill child, it is best for me to see that the patient has died, so as not to increase the burden on you! The thug said coldly.

Not far away, a little girl carrying a basket of fruit was about to pop out her eyes.

"Bastard! And there is no royal law anymore! Others don't dare to care, I care! The little girl shouted angrily, she had seen the old man pitiful before, so she went out of her way to buy the other party's fruit. As a result, before I went far, I didn't expect such a thing to happen, it was like thunder and thunder, and people and gods were angry! Don't these little thugs have fathers? Without sympathy, he actually bullied a poor old man instead. If there is really a kind of thing, go to the battlefield to kill the enemy and successfully establish a career, what kind of ability is it to bully an old man who has no power to tie the chicken!

"Miss, forget it, the eldest young master has specially instructed not to cause trouble. Now that the old man is dead, we are not like before! The maid next to her hurriedly pulled and persuaded her.
