On the question of who is the lackey, Xu Chu has to confront the jailer. Because of his Xu Chu, he must not be infamous as a lackey.

"Are we lackeys? The Lord's lackey? One of the jailers laughed.

Another said: "The lord and the generals took the land and redistributed it to the people. The lord set a uniform rent, and no one would be exploited again. Our families have land, every household has surplus food, and for hundreds of years, the people have never had such a good life. ”

Finally, he said, "Do you say that the people under your lordship have land and surplus food?" Have you had a good life? Even those few who still have land, one by one must be trembling, for fear that when they offend the nobles, or be robbed of land, or be punished for trumped-up crimes. You say, who are the lackeys to follow? ”

"It's ......." Xu Chu's anger suddenly disappeared, and he was stunned.

The jailer followed closely and said, "Whether it is a lackey with the lord who is dedicated to the people, or a lackey with the lord who exploits the people, you can tell me then." ”

Xu Chu is a straight-hearted person, and what he is is what he is. He thought about it, if he compared with these people under Gao Yuan, he would really become a lackey, "That's also indirect!" My lord is a good lord who loves the people! Xu Chu struggled his neck and said.

The jailer didn't bother to say more to him, and sneered, "Foolish." The head of your family watched the Shi clan exploit the people, and what kind of bullshit love the people, there are people who love the people like this? ”

The other remembered the sad things in the past, and said angrily: "If you didn't have this ability, you would have been persecuted by the Shi clan in the village a long time ago." Your wife was robbed and your son was starved to death. You lackey, the lackey of the Shi clan! ”

At Kuang Kuang's voice, the jailer angrily kicked the cell pillar. "Lackeys, how many people have been killed by you, you have killed the people for the scholars, you are still righteous and awe-inspiring, what do you say to be loyal to the Lord. You're lackeys, lackeys! ”

The two hurriedly pulled him away.

"It's ......." Xu Chu looked at the jailer who was leaving angrily. Thinking of the villagers who were plagued in the village in the past. Those scholars don't do it, they are all lackeys. "Am I ...... too?" He slid down the fence in a daze, slowly sliding to the ground.

On the other hand.

Gao Yuan was in the big tent, and on the first night after the war, he formulated the extremely important military household system under his rule, the disabled soldier system. This greatly boosted the morale of the army and gave the soldiers no worries. Their families will live happily ever after, which will make them even more loyal to the sky. The combat effectiveness of the troops, as a result, rose sharply.

And the other princes. Due to the constraints of the nobles, it is absolutely impossible to do so.

The order was immediately conveyed, and after Sima Yi and the others received it, they would definitely start implementing it immediately.

Gao Yuan's gaze returned to the current military situation, Cao Cao's soldiers and horses should be completely driven out, and the enemy who entered Hedong County should be eliminated.

"Can you give advice?" Gao Yuan's eyes are on everyone.

Xu Shu, as a military advisor with the army, has already had a proposition. said: "Cao Cao returned with remnants, and he no longer had the ability to attack. Will definitely take the initiative to retreat. It only takes a few thousand troops from a general to force him to leave Mengjin immediately, and our army will be able to retake the ferry. ”

He added: "It seems that the subordinates should mobilize most of the troops and horses to march into Hedong, and ...... before the Cao army in Hedong withdraws. He waved his hand. Encirclement and annihilation! ”

Xu Shu's strategy has been highly affirmed.

When the sun rose the next day, Gao Yuan ordered Zhou Cang to lead 3,000 people to cremate the corpses, and the ashes of our army should be kept separately one by one. The bodies of the enemy were buried on the spot, and the wounded soldiers were protected to return to the Hanoi barracks for treatment.

He also ordered Zhao Yun to lead 5,000 troops to attack Mengjin and cut off the retreat of Cao's army into Hedong.

And Gao Yuan personally led an army of 20,000 to attack the enemy army in Hedong.

Cao Jun's side.

Cao Cao took his more than 100 remnants of cavalry and returned to the Mengjin camp. Cao Cao was full of loss, anger, and frustration that cannot be described in words. After a night of Mercedes-Benz, he suddenly aged a lot. The vicissitudes of life looked at the Yellow River in the distance, and the body on the horse was shaky.

And Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan breathed a sigh of relief, after all, the lord was bailed out.

Xiahoudun beat his horse forward, came to the gate of Mengjin camp, and shouted: "Open the gate quickly!" ”

The guard general Xia Houen happened to be here, and when he saw a group of soldiers and horses arriving, it was his own banner, and shouted: "Who is coming?" ”

"Xiahouen, open the door quickly and greet the lord!" Xiahoudun shouted.

"Lord!" Xia Houen was stunned, in his opinion, if the lord came back, he would definitely accompany a large group of soldiers and horses, why were there more than 100 people. But the clan brother Xiahoudun is not fake, and it is also true to look at the lord from afar. "Is it defeated!" Xia Houen panicked and hurriedly ordered the soldiers to open the door.

Many soldiers gathered around and looked at Cao Cao and the others who had entered the camp in surprise. And Cao Cao could barely face the gaze of these soldiers, so he almost raised his sleeves and covered his face.

Jia Xu, who got the news, hurriedly greeted him, and at a glance, he knew that Cao Cao was defeated, or he was defeated very badly, and only more than 100 people survived. Lao Jia Xu's heart was turbulent, and he couldn't help but think: "With Sima Yi as the internal response, he still failed." Is this Gao Mengyan still human? ”

Cao Cao, who was supported by everyone, returned to the Shuai tent, all of them understood people, and they never mentioned the war, but just quietly accompanied Cao Cao.

Cao Cao on the handsome position, his face was unpredictable, a burst of blue, a burst of purple, a burst of red, a burst of black, and the fist was clenched from time to time, one would be raised, and the other would be put down.

Jia Xu and the others were so frightened that they didn't dare to breathe.

"Hahaha......."

As Cao Cao suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed, everyone in the tent trembled, and said in his heart that the lord was not mad because he was angry.

Cao Cao was not crazy, he laughed angrily, and said: "I was careless for a while, and I fell for the trick of Gao Mengyan's kid." His appearance immediately became gloomy, and he said coldly: "Sima Yi's little puppet, he actually surrendered!" ”

Jia Xu, these people who stayed behind, only then did they know why they were defeated, it turned out that it was Sima Yi who surrendered, no wonder.

And Xiahoudun, a member of the parties, came out angrily and said: "My lord, the Sima family dares to do this, then Sima Lang is in the middle of the court......." ”

Cao Cao waved his hand and said with a wry smile: "This matter has nothing to do with others, it is just Sima Yi's doing." ”

Everyone couldn't help but respect Cao Cao's mind.

Cao Cao sighed and looked at the people: send an order to Li Dian and them, retreat at full speed, and return to the Jiangnan camp in Luoyang. ”

Everyone sighed, Guo Jia and other strategists were full of self-blame, but who would have thought that Sima's whole family was real, but Sima Yi was the only one who pretended. Moreover, the later horse poisoning was too realistic, especially the horse manure, and I don't know where Gao Mengyan found so much thin horse manure.

"Report ......!" At this time, a scout horse entered the account and bowed: "Lord, the big thing is not good, Zhao Yunbu of the Gaoyuan Army led five thousand cavalry to cover and kill, and it is less than ten miles!" ”

"What! Less than ten miles, you are ....... Cao Cao was furious, but when he said this, he did it again. The other party is a full cavalry, and the speed is as fast as the exploration horse, and it is not easy for his exploration horse to return ten miles in advance.

Cao Cao got up again and said loudly: "Order the whole army, abandon Mengjin, and withdraw to the south of the Yellow River." ”

Guo Jia hurriedly said: "I'm afraid it will cut off the retreat of Li Dian and General Le Jin." ”

Cao Cao looked at him and said, "Send them a summons, and then it's up to them." ”

Guo Jia and the others think about it, and the five thousand remnants of their own soldiers here will definitely not be able to stop the lofty army. Staying to answer Li Dian and others is also waiting for death, and it can only be the destiny of each An. If you don't respond, it's also a helpless move.

When everyone went to prepare and the big tent was empty, Cao Cao finally couldn't help kicking the case, smashing and falling, and scolded fiercely: "Gao Mengyan, rabbit cub, despicable, shameless, obscene, livestock!" Someday, someday, one day....... ”

That is, in a quarter of an hour, Cao Jun completed the "packing" and withdrew from Mengjin. And under Cao Cao's order, he viciously burned the camp seized from the Gao Yuan army.

When Zhao Yun felt this, he saw only a burned wreckage. After probing around, it was rewarded: a large number of ships in the river retreated with Cao's army.

Cao Cao must not have returned, so Zhao Yun left a thousand people to clean up the mess of Meng Jin. He led the others to Hedong to support Gao Yuan.

On the other hand.

The county seat of Hedong County.

After Li Dian and Lejin's soldiers and horses entered Hedong, they attacked the city all the way, although there were losses, but they were like bamboos. However, under the town of Hedong County, he encountered stubborn resistance from the Hedong army and civilians led by Deng Zhi.

Cao's army, which had 7,000 soldiers and horses, was helpless in the face of a county town with a garrison of 1,000 soldiers.

However, good generals like Li Dian and Le Jin know that the lone side cannot last, and opportunities will always appear, so they are not in a hurry.

On this day, the two met and discussed that they should report back on the war. But before the battle report was finished, the heralds rushed in, sweating profusely, and fell to the ground, shouting: "Oh no, the lord was defeated by Gao Mengyan in the wild king, and only more than a hundred people escaped. Now, the lord has returned to the Jiangnan camp with Meng Jin's soldiers and horses, let me send an order to the two generals to act cheaply and be sure to take the troops out! ”

"What!"

After Li Dian and Le Jin heard what was going on, Rao was the fifth good general in later generations, and they were also shocked. It's clear that they were abandoned here.

Le Jin smiled bitterly: "Just now I said that the lonely city in Hedong is difficult to defend, but now it seems that we are the lonely enemy realm." ”

Li Dian first asked the quartermaster beside him, "How much military ration is left?" ”

The quartermaster said in a panic: "General Qiyu, the grain and grass of our army are all supplied by Mengjin. It stands to reason that Mengjin is going to distribute grain today, and our army still has three days of grain and grass. ”

The reason why Li Dian asked about grain and grass was because he wanted to cross the east of the river, so as to avoid the main force of Gao Yuan, and cross the river into the Chang'an area, which could be regarded as returning to the mainland. However, only three days of food and grass were far from enough. And if you look for food as you go, you will definitely not be able to outrun the pursuers.

Just when the two of them didn't have any countermeasures, Tan Ma reported: "Gao Mengyan personally commanded 20,000 wolf riders in the state, and it was less than ten miles!" (To be continued......)
