As soon as the reinforcements arrived, the morale of the Cao army was high, and Lin Yi and others were killed and retreated, killing more than ten thieves, Cao Jun lost 18 recruits and 6 veterans. Cao Cao slapped the tree angrily and scolded: "Thief, dare to bully me!" ”

At this time, Li Dian and Xu Chu hurriedly caught up, hugged their fists and said, "Prime Minister!" The last general is too late to save the car, and the sin deserves death! ”

"No, no, no, you are waiting for the right time, if you come one step later, we will have a big event." Cao Cao shook his head, hurriedly helped the two up, and asked Xu Chu and Li Dian some details, it turned out that the two of them had protected many strategists under Cao Cao since the defeat of Chibi, and they walked and walked here, which can be regarded as a coincidence.

And Li Dian and Xu Chu also learned about the current situation of Cao Cao's headquarters and horses, and saw that they were about to mutiny if they didn't eat something, so they immediately said: "Prime Minister, we have dry food on our bodies, and we can share it." ”

"Okay, okay, Li Dian, I order you to collect dry food immediately and share the profits with the soldiers. Eat quickly and continue on your journey. Cao Cao nodded, and heard the words of kindness.

"Oh, Prime Minister."

Li Dian clasped his fists and nodded, and went down.

After eating dry food and drinking water, Cao Cao urged everyone to continue their journey, and as they walked, a fork in the road appeared in front of them. Cao Cao asked, "Where does the front lead to?" ”

There was a sergeant in the army who was more familiar with geography, and he clenched his fists and said: "On one side is the main road leading to the South Yiling, and on the other side is the mountain road leading to the North Yiling. "Speaking of this place, I would like to introduce it so that there will be no unnecessary misunderstandings and troubles.

Yiling, in fact, is the ancient Yiling, the current Yichang. In ancient times, it was called Yiling, and when it came to the fifth year of Shunzhi in the Qing Dynasty, it was changed to Yiling because it wanted to be avoided. The version of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms that is circulating today is probably not the first edition of Luo Guanzhong in the late Yuan Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty, but a new edition that was edited by the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, or re-edited by later generations according to the Qing version.

Speaking of which, there is another thing to talk about. During the Qing Dynasty, there was an emperor who asked people to edit this book in the language of Manchu and other ethnic minorities, as a gift to various tribes, often boasting that he was Liu Bei, and each tribe was Guan Yu, who was like a brother, he wanted benevolence and righteousness, and all tribes wanted loyalty.

Historians feel that because of this, the external contradictions of the Qing Dynasty have been reduced a lot, and the political situation has also been stabilized and peaceful to a certain extent.

Getting back to the point, the sergeant said that the place where the road leads is Yiling (Yiling), Cao Cao nodded, and asked again: "You tell me, go over there to Jiangling City in Jingzhou South County, and come closer?" ”

The sergeant clenched his fists and told the truth, saying: "Back to the prime minister, it is the most convenient and convenient to go to the North Yiling Tomb and cross the gourd mouth." ”

So, Cao Cao sent an order to go down and let the soldiers go to the Northern Yi Tomb. When the army marched to a sparse forest at the mouth of the gourd, the soldiers of the army began to be hungry again, and they had no strength in their bodies, quite like a deflated bear child, who was weak and could not walk.

At this time, Cao Jun's horses were also exhausted because they had not eaten, and many horses and soldiers fell on the side of the road.

When Cao Cao saw this scene, he could only sigh in his heart, and could only order everyone to rest in front. He summoned Li Dian and asked, "Why are the soldiers so tired after eating?" But you've hidden food? ”

Li Dian hurriedly knelt down, burst into tears, and said, "Prime Minister Mingjian." We also fled, and we didn't have much dry food with us, so we shared the profits, and everyone had a mouthful, so how could we be full. Subordinates and other insiders have not eaten a mouthful. There is only a piece of dry cake on the subordinates, just waiting to be presented to the prime minister! ”

"There is such a thing!" Cao Cao suddenly realized that everyone was defeated and fled, how could there be food to share? Hahahaha! Hahahaha! "Hahaha! What's the use of leaving it for me? Share the profits! ”

"Prime Minister can't!" Li Dian hurriedly persuaded.

"Share the profits!" Cao Cao almost roared and said: "How can you say that you have no clothes, and you are in the same robe with your son; How can you say that you have no clothes? With the Son. How can you say that you have no clothes? with the Son. Divide the profit quickly! ”

Li Dian said again: "Prime Minister, there is only one piece of dry cake, and there are so many people, how to divide the profits, why don't you leave it to him and the Prime Minister!" ”

"Bastard thing!"

Cao Cao was furious and scolded: "Although there is nothing to be gained! All the soldiers are with me, and I am born and die, and I Cao Cao can be ungrateful and selfish! Bring! ”

Cao Cao snatched the dry cakes, looked around at the soldiers who stood up one after another, he walked over, pulled off one piece after another, and handed it to the soldiers passing by: "Wait until you help me Cao Cao, can Cao Cao abandon it?" Come and eat! ”

"Cao Gong! (Prime Minister)"

"Woo woo woo...... Cao Gong (Prime Minister) is righteous! "All the soldiers knelt on the ground and kowtowed, crying silently." I am so lowly, why do I wait so much for Gong Cao's kindness! Woowoowoo......"

Cao Cao moistened a piece of cuirass-sized dry cake and didn't eat a bite of it. He said: "Xu Chu! Kill my mount and quench the hunger of the soldiers! ”

"If you still don't have enough to eat, eat the horses that have fallen along the way."

"Prime Minister!!

A crowd of people bowed down.

"Killing horses, collecting firewood, making rice, eating meat!!!" Cao Cao shouted. It's impossible to say it's not painful. Horses are a soldier's second life. On the battlefield, he is a life-saving brother.

No veteran of the battlefield could bear to kill a horse, and would even rather starve to death than eat his own horse meat.

"The prime minister is kind, I will wait for death without return! Woowoo woo ......"

There was another violent cry.

Finally, after a while, everyone sat up cross-legged, eating what they should eat and drinking. The clothes were dried by the fire, and the stomach was full. But the horses on the road were left with bones and hair.

Seeing that the morale was rising again, Cao Cao finally swallowed a mouthful of horse meat and said in a low voice: "Horses, horses, born in troubled times, you are lucky, and you are also unlucky!" Hahaha! ”

Eat a full meal.

Xu Chu walked over, hugged his fists and said, "Prime Minister, the sergeant is already safe, please ask the Prime Minister to hurry." ”

"Let's go."

Xu Chu brought a horse, which was his own, and he said, "Please get on the horse." ”

"I'm sorry for you." Cao Cao turned over and got on his horse and sighed, if he didn't care about Xu Chu who killed his horse, it was probably impossible. But sometimes he is not a person who will repay him, seeing Xu Chu like this, the depression in his heart dissipated, and he said again: "Let's go!" ”

He was on horseback, in the middle of the open forest, looking around, and suddenly laughing. I guess my heart is too dull and I want to find some jokes.

The people next to him asked, "Prime Minister, why are you laughing again?" ”

Fang just laughed for the first time, and laughed out of Changshan Zhao Zilong, could it be that this prime minister still hasn't learned experience?

Cao Cao smiled: "I laugh at Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu's lack of resourcefulness." If I come to use troops, I will definitely ambush a group of military horses in this place, and wait for work; Even if we were to lose our lives, we would not be seriously injured. The two of them didn't know how to do it, so I laughed at it. After all, children! Hahaha! ”

As soon as these words were said, the original text said: "The front army and the rear army shouted together, were shocked, abandoned their armor and got on their horses." Many of the armies were too late to collect their horses. But now Cao Cao has already mounted his horse, and his armor has not been lost, and the soldiers are panicked for a while.

I saw that the smoke of fire rose in all directions, shrouded in, and the first army at the mountain pass set up a formation, and the general of Na Yuan led by him was Liu Bei Guan Yu's righteous brother - Yanren Zhang Fei and Zhang Yide.

Zhang Fei immediately crossed the spear and shouted: "Where is the thief going!" ”

Oh roar, roar, this Cao Cao laughed for the second time, and laughed out of Yanren Zhang Yide.

When the generals and soldiers of Cao Jun saw Zhang Fei, they were all frightened. But Cao Cao's previous work has taken effect, and no one has escaped, and morale is still relatively high.

Xu Chu earned a young general's horse, this horse was bareback, he rode out and shouted: "Shaft, and fight with me!" ”

At this time, another line of soldiers and horses attacked in the distance. But I don't know whose soldiers and horses it is?

Predict what will happen next, and listen to the next breakdown.
