This is exactly the smart side of Cao Pi.

Cao Pi already knew from the scout's report that the leader of the organization of the battle against him this time was none other than the first-class Wenchen of the Celestial Empire, Guo Jia and Guo Fengxiao, who were known as the first strategists of the Celestial Empire.

This person can be appreciated by Zhang Chao, but he must not be ordinary. In addition, he had heard his father say more than once that this person was powerful, and this time he became more careful. He didn't choose to rush out of the city with the other soldiers, because he was afraid that Guo Jia was prepared outside, and even so, it was far safer to venture out of the city than to stay in the city.

After all, the current Qingzhou is still the territory of the Wei State, and the people here have not registered in the Celestial Empire. And before he had entered the county government of Ye County, he burned the roster of the people in the city, so now he said that he was the people and residents of Ye County, and others didn't know that it was impersonation.

It was with this idea that Cao Pi and Cao Zhen hid in the city, hiding as ordinary people, and in order to make everything more realistic, they even deliberately put on rags and wiped their faces with the ashes of the bottom of the pot, so that their appearance could not be easily recognized.

It wasn't until everything was done that Cao Pi calmed down, he just waited for the Celestial Empire army to clean up the battlefield here, and he left here after leaving, presumably at that time, the Celestial Empire soldiers who intercepted him would definitely relax, and the chances of escaping would increase a lot.

Cao Pi's idea is indeed good, and the same guess is also correct, outside the city of Ye County, Guo Jia did arrange heavy troops outside the four city gates, even if the Wei army desperately broke through, but in the end no one escaped from the city.

The battle lasted for five days, and the 100,000 army was completely subdued, except for the 30,000 Wei soldiers who were killed, the other 70,000 surrendered, and finally became prisoners of the Celestial Empire's army.

Ye County was breached, Guo Jia once again convened the generals for a meeting, after learning that whether it was Cao Pi or Sima Yi, and even the commander of the general Cao Zhen here is missing, Guo Jia was very dissatisfied and said, "Everyone, the emperor specially instructed me when I came, I must take Cao Pi and Sima Yi, I must see people in life, and I must see corpses in death, but now, although 500,000 Wei troops have been destroyed, this requirement has not been met, this is not good." ”

"Master Guo doesn't have to worry, just keep looking if you can't find it, I don't believe it, can this big living person still fly out of thin air?" Dian Wei, the commander of the Sixth Legion, stepped out in one step, and his loud voice buzzed through the military tent.

The previous battle against Ye County was all the credit of the Fourth Legion, he just guarded a city gate, and now he learned that Cao Pi and Sima Yi were not found, he even had a trace of joy, in his opinion, this is a good time for his own meritorious service.

Dian Wei's statement, Zhang He, the commander of the Fourth Army Corps, and Gan Ning, the commander of the Waterway Corps, also stood up to support it, obviously the three generals saw it, who can find these two, that is the real great achievement.

Guo Jia couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw the generals' emotions so high. "Okay, the next matter of finding people will be handed over to the three legion commanders to deal with, no matter who it is, as long as these two people are found, it will be a great achievement, and I will ask for credit for him in front of the emperor."

The three legion commanders waited for this sentence, and immediately left the military tent with their fists clenched. Then a large-scale search of Ye County began.

Under the leadership of the three generals, the entire Ye County was lifted to the bottom, because they all wanted to make this great achievement, so they did their best, which also made the people of Ye County the target of continuous harassment. Many people's homes even have to face several Heavenly Dynasty soldiers to inspect within a day, often as soon as one wave leaves, the next wave has already come to the door to wait.

The people didn't know what these officers and soldiers of the Celestial Empire were looking for, but what they could do was to cooperate with others. Fortunately, these soldiers just searched for themselves, but they would not destroy other people's things casually, and even some women in the people's homes would not take a second look, which made the people feel a lot more relaxed.

After searching again and again, some well-informed people finally knew that the reason why these officers and soldiers of the Celestial Empire who still obeyed the rules would search their homes again and again was precisely because they were looking for a second prince and a strategist and a general of the Wei State, and it was precisely because these people were not found that the people were affected.

Thinking that the Wei army demolished their houses in order to build bows and arrows, the people here were originally angry in their hearts, and now they have been disturbed by the impact, at this moment they all began to hate Cao Pi and others, and even some people joined the search team.

When it comes to understanding Ye County, it is natural that the local people have more say, and after they began to run on the streets to find people, Cao Pi's hiding place became more and more unsafe.

To say that Cao Pi is still very smart, no one expected that his place would be a slum in the city. Originally, this place did not exist, but because of the beginning of the war, there were displaced people, and after a long time, this place became the territory of outsiders, and the current slum was formed.

As for this, the three army commanders did not pay too much attention to the search, perhaps they thought that Cao Pi's identity was disdainful of hiding here, so most of their eyes fell on the big families in the city, and even the gardens of some big families were dug into the ground, which was caused by the fear that they would have secret passages.

It was precisely because Cao Pi had already considered this factor that he decided to hide in the slums.

To say that there are two advantages here, one is unexpected, and the second is because there are many people here, and no one knows anyone.

Facts have also proved that although there are soldiers from the Celestial Empire who came here to check, most of them have passed hastily, especially seeing that he and Cao Zhen and others are full of a foul smell, which is because they have not bathed for many days, plus their clothes are shabby, and their faces have been wiped from the bottom of the pot, which really let them get mixed up.

It's just that in this way, the psychological pressure that Cao Pi needs to bear is not small, when did he think that the second son of Wei Guo, who was dignified, had such treatment? Thinking of the current situation, he hated from the bottom of his heart, thinking that once he escaped from here one day, he would definitely lead the blood of the soldiers to shame today.

Cao Pi was still planning what to do after leaving, but he didn't know that this place had been patronized by the people of Ye County in the city.

For the slums, these ordinary people still know a little, and even for some people here, they also know it, after all, a county town is not very big, and because these homeless people have no food, most of them ask the local people for food, and it is easy to determine their identity. Of course, more importantly, many people have also seen Cao Pi himself, because it was this person who ordered the demolition of their house in the first place, and the impression is naturally profound.

Just knowing Cao Pi is not something that the soldiers of the Celestial Empire can compare, although they also have some portraits in their hands, but after all, they are dead, as long as they disguise it a little, it is not difficult to deceive the past.

With the people joining, or the people who knew their Cao Pi, the slums became unsafe.

Dian Wei, the commander of the Sixth Army Corps, rushed here in person after hearing the report of his soldiers. He first thanked the people of Ye County for helping them find them, and then ordered the soldiers to join them in the search for possible slips through the slums.

Originally, Dian Wei didn't have any expectations, he just heard the emperor say that the people were important and their strength when he was following Zhang Chao before, and now he has a helper who can be used reluctantly, why not do it?

It's just that what he never expected was that it was this unintentional move that made him gain a lot. First, he heard the report that the Wei army who had been caught in the slum had been found, and these people were fighting with the search soldiers of his Sixth Legion, which made him excited, and he hurriedly rushed over with hundreds of soldiers.

Even if there can be a Wei army who has slipped through the net here, then there will be other discoveries if it is not stable.

The Wei army was found in the slums, these were naturally Cao Pi's personal soldiers who stayed by his side, and they also made up as homeless people and stayed here, in order to leave Ye County to protect the second son in the future, but they never thought that they were indeed discovered.

It's just that these people didn't stay with Cao Pi, and they were found to have not affected him for the time being. But as Dian Wei appeared here and began to focus on the investigation, the situation became very serious.

The number of displaced people is as high as two thousand, which seems to be a lot, but when you want to go through the sieve one by one, it is not a lot, and the shouts of the soldiers of the Sixth Legion sounded around him, and after hearing that everyone was going to gather in a small square not far away, and those who did not go were considered to be rebels and were about to be killed, he was hiding in a corner, and Cao Pi, who was pretending to be a homeless person, knew that things were dangerous.

Suddenly, the Celestial Empire soldiers began to take an interest in the slums, which was definitely not a good thing, on the contrary, it only proved that their hiding place was about to be exposed.

I don't understand how anyone would be interested in the slums, you know, he Cao Pi has no regard for his identity in order to live, but can he still escape the fate of death?

"Second son, what should I do?" Cao Zhen, who also got the news, was originally nearby, and now hurriedly appeared by Cao Pi's side to ask for instructions, obviously this sudden change also caught him off guard.

"Don't panic, they just suspect that we will be here now, haven't they found it yet? Then we have a chance to fight back. In this way, all the manpower will be pooled, and the situation will be seen when the time comes. Cao Pi slowly calmed down at the moment, even if he couldn't escape, he would just run away, at least he had to make a bang before he died.
