Dumb people eat coptis, and they can't say what they are bitter about.

At this time, Cao Cao was basically in such a state of mind.

However, although he admired Liu Chuang, Cao Cao's murderous intent became heavier and heavier.

The grievances between Guo Jia and Liu Chuang, Cao Cao is naturally clear. A guy who allows Guo Jia to praise him repeatedly, but he is an enemy of Cao Cao, and even has become a wing, how can Cao Cao let it go?

"Fengxiao, since that's the case, don't let it go."

Cao Cao's eyes suddenly widened, and he said sharply: "Even if you fight to lose your soldiers, you will also destroy this place in Guangling." ”

He immediately ordered Xu Huang and Li Dian to command 30,000 troops and attack from Huaipu; And Cao Cao personally supervised the army and prepared to force the Huaishui in Huaiyin.

Come, Guo Jia has already made a plan, ready to wait for the Huaishui flood season to pass before attacking.

But now it seems that if one more day is delayed, Liu Chuang may evacuate Guangling, and when the time comes, the tiger will return to the mountain, which will inevitably cause a catastrophe......

The corners of Liu Bei's mouth curled slightly, and he was secretly happy in his heart.

I just don't speak, I'm just pretending to be deaf and dumb...... The better you are, the more Cao Cao will not let you go, and the faster you will die.

Alas, in the end, he is still too young!

The so-called wood shows in the forest, and the wind will destroy it.

You are so swaggering, but you don't have such a strong strength, and in the end you can only be a ghost under Cao Cao's sword.

Hehe, it's up to you, how long can you be arrogant......

In the big tent, everyone had their own thoughts.

After Cao Cao finished speaking, he was keenly aware that Guo Jia's face showed a look of worry.

After everyone left, Cao Cao left Guo Jia behind.

"Fengxiao, just now I want to attack Huainan. Why do you look worried? ”

Cao Cao was not suspicious of Guo Jia, thinking that he was worried about Liu Chuang. To be honest, there may be people in this big tent who are worried about Liu Chuang, and it may be Xun You. It could be someone else, but it wouldn't be Guo Jia. Guo Jia and Liu Chuang, but they have deep grievances.

Guo Jia raised his head and looked at Cao Cao.

"My lord. I know that you want to take Liu Chuang's head, but I'm afraid it's a little difficult. ”

"Why does Bonghyo say that?"

Guo Jia sighed, "I always thought that Liu Chuangxu had a name, so there was nothing to worry about.

The reason why he can achieve today's achievements is because of the name of the Marquis of Zhongling...... But now, I think this person has real talent and real learning. He can think of borrowing a boat from Sun Ce, I don't believe it. He will have no other arrangements for the aftermath. If the lord really fought hard with him in Guangling. Of course you can win. But not to mention the loss of troops, if you want to eliminate this person, I am afraid it will not be possible to do it in a while. ”

"You mean ......"

"In case he goes out to fight to the death with the lord. City by city battle to the death, the lord wants to win. I'm afraid it will take a lot of effort.

The question is, will Yuan Shaoke give the lord such a chance? ”

When Cao Cao heard this, he was a chilling cicada. He immediately understood the meaning of Guo Jia's words.

If Liu Chuang goes out to fight a war of attrition with him, I am afraid that he will really take Liu Chuang's life, and it will not be able to do it in a short time. Cao Cao's expedition to Xuzhou has been two months since the end of August. The longer the time drags on, the more variables there will be...... If Cao Cao can't make a quick decision, Liu Biao in Jingzhou, Zhang Xiu in Nanyang, and Yuan Shao in Hebei ...... I am afraid that these individuals will no longer sit idly by.

In that case, even if Cao Cao killed Liu Chuang, what could he do?

Thinking of this, Cao Cao couldn't help but swallow his saliva, "Fengxiao, will Yuan Shaoke send troops?" ”

"Yuan Shao is now attacking Gongsun Chan with all his might, and he may not be able to concentrate his forces.

But don't forget, the Kingdom of Jinan has been captured by Yuan Shao, and Yuan Tantun's troops are in Qi County. He may not agree to send troops to help, but Xu Du's troops are empty, and after a long time, will Yuan Tan be impatient? Not to mention, Yuan Shao only needed to send a sharp army to cross the river and attack Xudu.

Although it is said that if he sits in Xu Du, he may not be able to resist Yuan Shao. ”

Cao Cao listened, took a deep breath, and was silent.

In the big tent, it was extremely quiet.

Just when Cao Cao was about to speak, he suddenly heard footsteps outside the big tent, followed by a small colonel coming in, "Sikong, Xu Du is six hundred miles in a hurry." ”

"Bring it to me."

The little colonel held the letter in both hands and presented it to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao unfolded the letter, and after reading it quickly, his face sank like water.

Although Guo Jia didn't know the content of the letter, looking at Cao Cao's face, he had roughly guessed it.

600 Miles Expedited ...... At this time, why did Xun Yu, who stayed in Xudu, send someone to send an urgent letter of six hundred miles, it must be that something big happened in Xudu. Although Xun Yu has his heart set on the Han family, he always believes that Cao Cao is the only candidate for the Zhongxing Han family. So in official business, Xun Yu will never joke about it. Since he used six hundred miles to expedit, there must be something big going on......

What is a big event?

There is danger!

Then who can threaten Xu Du?

Yuan Shao, Zhang Xiu, Liu Biao...... It's all possible.

But no matter which one it is, once it is in danger, the morale of the army will inevitably be in chaos.

That is Cao Cao's foundation, and it is all Cao Cao's dependence...... Guo Jia couldn't help but show a wry smile, and said secretly in his heart: I really got what I said.

"Fengxiao, if you send a letter, Yuan Shangtun soldiers in Liyang, intending to cross the river to attack Xudu."

Cao Cao put down the letter and looked at Guo Jia.

He was also bitter in his heart, looking at Guo Jia, his eyes were full of anticipation. In the current situation, Cao Cao certainly doesn't want to let Liu Chuang go. If you don't let Liu Chuang go, Xu Du will be in danger. It's a multiple-choice question! Guo Jia is right, Liu Chuang is thoughtful, how can there be no follow-up? Not to mention, Liu Chuang's father-in-law, Xun Chen, is Yuan Shao's strategist. In order to save Liu Chuang, how can he stand by and watch?

I don't know if this time, Feng Xiao can have a countermeasure!

Guo Jia stood up and wandered around the big tent.

"Lord, it's time for Yuan Chang to come forward......"

"You mean!"

"If you want to take Liu Chuang's life in a battle, I'm afraid it's unlikely. But I have a plan, even if I can't take the intruder's head, I can tie his hands and feet. Since the lord wants to force the Huaishui, he will attack it. Three days, three days after the storm, ordered Yuan to send an envoy to Guangling. ”

Cao Cao frowned and was silent.

He understood what Guo Jia meant. Attack for three days first to create enough pressure on Liu Chuang.

Then let Zhong Xuan send an envoy to Guangling...... If Zhong Xuan came forward, it would be a little troublesome to kill Liu Chuang.

That's for now, though. The best way!

"In this way, it depends on the plan of filial piety."

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

"Cao Cao, is this crazy?"

Liu Chuang stood at the Huaiyin ferry, commanded the catapult, and threw boulders towards the center of the river.

Across the river. Cao Jun cut down a large number of trees, connected them with ropes, and threw them into the river in an attempt to build a pontoon bridge in this way.

Due to the large number of Cao's army, they attacked the south bank of Huaishui several times.

Fortunately, Liu Chuang reacted in time and beat the Cao army who crossed the river back one after another, so that Huaiyin City could be regarded as not lost.

Not only Huaiyin, but also Huaipu encountered the same fierce attack...... Cao Cao ordered Li Dian and Xu Huang to supervise the soldiers and horses and force the Huaishui crossing. Although there are Gao Shun and Hao Zhao stationed. It's also a little unsupportable. Fortunately, Zhang Liao led his troops to rush to support. Finally stabilized the position.

Two days of hard work. Corpses floated on the surface of the Huaishui water, and the blood stained the water even red.

Liu Chuang shouted loudly, holding a Jiazi sword in one hand. With a giant sword in his hand, he led a team of men and horses to repel a Cao army that rushed through the Huaishui.

Then he ordered the pontoon bridge to be set on fire. finally let Cao Jun stop temporarily.

Sitting on the river beach, Liu Chuang gasped and couldn't help but scold: "Cao Cao is attacking so wildly, does he want to fight for my life?" ”

In more than half a month, there will be a break in the upper reaches of the Huaishui.

When the water level of Huaishui is lowered, it is the best time to attack...... Liu Chuang didn't believe that Cao Cao didn't understand this truth, even if Cao Cao didn't understand it, could it be that the generals and strategists under him were all vegetarians and didn't understand this truth? However, Cao Cao didn't do this, but attacked like crazy, which was obviously not in line with the law. Liu Chuang vaguely guessed the change, but he was helpless.

If he had more soldiers and horses in his hands, he might be able to put more pressure on Cao Cao.

Can ...... now

Guangling County, after all, is not Beihai Country.

Liu Chuang is here, and he doesn't have the prestige of Chen Deng's father and son, and it is very difficult to recruit soldiers. Even the forced conscription of the people was also hindered by the local gentry. Although Liu Chuang had already been mentally prepared for this, he still felt angry in his heart.

Cao Cao's rear, something must have happened.

But even if Yuan Shao crossed the Yellow River, what could he do?

Cao Cao wanted to attack Huaishui, and Liu Chuang could only resist Cao Cao again, and he had no choice.

Fortunately, Jiangdong sent an envoy and agreed to Liu Chuang's request.

Sun Ce sent twenty ships from Wu County to Tanglin Pavilion to meet Liu Chuang. However, twenty building ships can't take people away at once.

At the very least, it will take twice to evacuate everyone.

"Childe, Cao Cao's offensive is so ferocious, if you continue to resist hard, I'm afraid it won't last long.

The Huaishui flood season has passed, and it is not easy to stick to it again. Moreover, with such a dispersion of forces, the losses will be even heavier. Simply abandon the Huaishui and retreat to peace.

Although the county seat of Ping'an is not dangerous, the terrain is high and the city is strong.

With Ping'an City, we can concentrate our forces to resist for a while. At least the situation will be much better than sticking to it in Huaishui......"

Chen Gong saw that the soldiers and horses were damaged, and he couldn't help but persuade Liu Chuang.

Liu Chuang knew that what Chen Gong said was not bad.

Cao Cao attacked so fiercely, he lost it, but he couldn't afford it.

It was only the third day, and more than 1,000 people had been killed in Huaiyin, and it was estimated that the losses in Huaipu would not be too small. The Huaishui shoreline is long, and Cao Jun can spread it out and forcibly cross the river. But he didn't have so many soldiers and horses, and it was too difficult to prevent Cao's army from crossing the Huaishui.

Simply, the grain and grass in Huaiyin City have been transported.

It's time to get ready to evacuate......

Liu Chuang took a deep breath and made up his mind.

"Immediately send someone to inform Huaipu and order them to evacuate the Huaipu ferry tonight and assemble in Ping'an County."

Seeing that Liu Chuang adopted his opinion, Chen Gong was also very happy, and hurriedly bowed down to receive the order and hurriedly retreated.

After dark, Cao's army also stopped attacking.

Liu Chuang looked at the lights of Cao Ying, which were flickering like stars in the night on the other side of the Huaishui, and couldn't help but let out a faint sigh.

It's still too weak!

If he can be stronger, or if he can have enough soldiers and horses, why is he so forced by Cao Cao? But now, he had no other choice. So he summoned Xu Chu and Wu Anguo, and ordered the two of them to lead the main force to evacuate Huaiyin overnight and go to Ping'an County.

In Liu Chuang's hands, there are indeed not many soldiers and horses now.

There are less than 3,000 Xiong Zhen's army left, and the Flying Bear Army is only 2,000 after replenishing the trapped camp.

This is Liu Chuang's current main force!

He confronted Cao Cao before, relying more on the thousands of people brought by Cao Xing from the lower minister, as well as the Eastern Navy when Lu Zhu took refuge.

The 3,000 East China Sea soldiers of Lu Zhu have not lost too much at present, so they are stationed in Ping'an.

However, Cao Xing brought more than half of the soldiers and horses......

If there is a large-scale retreat, I am afraid that Cao Cao will be alarmed, and it will definitely be troublesome to pursue from behind when the time comes.

Therefore, Liu Chuang ordered Xu Chu to lead the Flying Bear Army to withdraw first, while he led those Xuzhou soldiers who were subordinate ministers to bluff and operate on the south bank of Huaishui.

It wasn't until the second half of the night that Liu Chuang led his relatives to evacuate Huaiyin.

As for those subordinate soldiers, Liu Chuang did not take them away, but stayed in Huaiyin County.

It's not that he is ruthless, but that there must be such a soldier and horse left behind to confuse Cao Cao's ears and eyes. It is believed that when these Xuzhou soldiers find that they have withdrawn, they will surrender the city, and Cao Cao will not continue to embarrass these soldiers. The most important thing is that the combat effectiveness of these Xuzhou soldiers is not strong. Even if he follows Liu Chuang, he will act as cannon fodder at most. In such a shape, it doesn't make much sense to want these people or not.

And in fact, it was just as Liu Chuang expected.

The next day, when these abandoned subordinate soldiers found that Liu Chuang and others had evacuated the Marquis of Huaiyin, they immediately scattered and fled.

After Cao Cao learned the news and led his troops across the Huaishui, Huaiyin had become an empty city.

He couldn't help but sigh: "I'm afraid this Liu Chuang has also seen the clues...... I didn't expect this kid to be a character.

The strong man broke his wrist, and thousands of soldiers and horses said that they didn't want it, and there was no mud and water. Fengxiao, as you said, it is really not simple. ”

Guo Jia could only smile bitterly!

"Lord, since this is the case, let's prepare to let Yuan Chang send an envoy.

Thinking that he was also a little impatient in Xiapi, if he didn't let him act, I was afraid that he would be dissatisfied. ”

Cao Cao pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "Since this is the case, immediately send someone to invite him to come......"

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Not long after Liu Chuang arrived in Ping'an, Zhang Liao Gaoshun led Xiong Zhen's army to arrive.

At this time, 5,000 soldiers and horses were gathered, plus the 3,000 soldiers of the East China Sea County, a total of 8,000 people.

In the small county town of Ping'an, so many soldiers and horses gathered at once, and it suddenly became a little crowded.

"Sun Ce's ship has arrived at Tanglin Pavilion."

In the county government of Ping'an County, Liu Chuang looked solemn and glanced at everyone.

"Gongtai, you and your eldest brother will lead a thousand soldiers and horses to Guangling County to garrison.

Xiao Gong and Brother Tiger took Xiao Ling Wu Anguo to lead Xiong Zhenjun to Tanglin Pavilion and boarded the ship to return to Beihai Kingdom. I and Yuanxiang led the troops to continue to garrison Ping'an County. We must move quickly and in batches. Cao Cao's pursuers will arrive in Ping'an soon, and when the time comes, we will fight and retreat, as long as we can hold on for fifteen days, we can leave Guangling safely. ”

Gao Shun listened to it and was a little reluctant.

But under Liu Chuang's persuasion, he could only obey his fate.

The next day, Gao Shun and others led their troops to evacuate, and Chen Gong and Lu Zhu also left with people.

Ping'an County was established, and only more than 4,000 soldiers and horses remained. Liu Chuang and Zhang Liao climbed to the top of Ping'an City, and after seeing Gao Shun and the others leave, they couldn't help but smile and said, "Yuan, the two of us will fight side by side." ”
