Because Cao Cao has always been 'famous', as he led the army to Dangyang, everyone who was in Dangyang, whether they were a family or a wealthy family or just ordinary people, trembled.

After all, this person has a history of countless city massacres.

Plus he was hit in Dangyang.

If you don't slaughter a city under such circumstances, can you justify it? Can he live up to his long-standing reputation?

Apparently not.

But something unexpected happened.

After Cao Cao arrived in Dangyang, he was not as fierce as rumored, nor did he give any terrible orders to slaughter the city.

He just ran to Nagasaka with some guards and some major generals, and sighed silently.

"The terrain of Nagasaka is not wonderful, but Chen Ziji can stop me with this, which is really terrifying...... If Chen Ziji belonged to me, the world would be a few years earlier! ”

"It's a pity, it's a pity......"

Then, Cao Cao turned around and returned to the barracks in a series of regretful voices.

When the news spread, many people who had relatives who ran away with Liu Bei subconsciously rejoiced.

Who said Cao Cao would slaughter the city?

There's no such thing!

Those who followed Liu Bei to escape were really blind.

That's what people think.

Later, a small number of people even felt that the psychological activities were not enjoyable, and even praised Cao Cao in a roundabout way.

After hearing the news, Cao Cao was very happy and felt that the people's hearts were available, so he immediately levied the field tax of Dangyang for three years as military funds.

In addition, since he is still leading the army to the south, this conscription cannot be run.

It's not much: only one out of every three families.

Strictly speaking, Cao Cao really didn't have many conscripts this time.

You must know that when his old man first settled in the north, he had engaged in two families and one person from the army.

After all, his old man is going to fight.

And to fight, you first need people......

For example, Pinglu and Quanzhou, the two canals (grain roads) that lead directly from the Central Plains to the northern Xinjiang, allowing him to successfully conquer Wuhuan, are obviously impossible to fall from the sky.

Otherwise, Cao Cao might have changed his name to Yugong.

After the news spread, the people of Dangyang were silent.

Originally, many people who praised Cao Cao also disappeared without a trace all of a sudden.

Of course, people certainly don't disappear easily, and it's unlikely that they'll cross en masse.

In fact, some of them were either conscripted for food or forced labor......

In this case, it is naturally impossible for them to praise Cao Cao.

If you don't scold your mother directly, you already have extra respect for Cao Cao's reputation.

"Do you think I'm too much?"

"But don't forget, now is the southern expedition, once it is successful, the world will be unified again!"

Cao Cao is obviously self-aware of this, and when facing his subordinates, he directly said what he said in his heart: "Therefore, at this time, I can only suffer the people again, if there is infamy...... I, Cao Cao, am shouldering it! ”

The fact that he was able to say these words actually showed that he did have the status of a common man in his heart.

If he didn't have this thought, he probably wouldn't have been able to write works that sound so sad and compassionate.

It's just that Cao Cao also understands the truth that mercy is not in charge of the army.

After all, what time is it?

Seeing the great pattern of the unification of the world!

Once he succeeds, he will naturally let the people of the world begin to recuperate.

Is this the time to be kind?

Cao Cao obviously wouldn't think so, let alone do so.

Probably because of this, he behaves so complex and contradictory......

On the one hand, it is easy to write (as if) a compassionate poem that expresses one's heart, and on the other hand, it (seems) to regard the people of the world as cattle and horses.

It's just a pity that even if Cao Cao showed his heart a little, some of the advisors present didn't see it at all, but saw another point.

At this time, Prime Minister Cao Cheng was no longer Cao Mengde in the Battle of Guandu.

Yes, people only think that Cao Cao is domineering now, and they don't see the meaning of him at all.

Therefore......

"What the prime minister said is extremely true."

"The Prime Minister's concerns are far-reaching, beyond our reach."

"Prime Minister......

Everyone, including Cheng Yu, spoke in agreement, as if Cao Cao was really omnipotent.

Cao Cao always felt that something was wrong, but in life, there was almost no one who didn't like to be praised.

So he quickly ignored that something was wrong, and even laughed and showed some other thoughts.

Even, on this day, he took out a part of the poem he hadn't written and showed it to everyone to enjoy.

Nine princes, one Kuang world!

But people only saw these eight words, so when they dealt with Cao Cao again, they subconsciously became more careful.

……

Compared with Cao Cao's Yiyantang, today's Jiangxia Xiling is as noisy as a vegetable market.

"Walking on the Stars"

Many of them have not left their names in history.

And the reason why they dare to express their attitudes and give their wisdom is because they followed Liu Bei and felt that they had merit.

One or two such people may be fine.

However, because this time the crossing of the river with the people was really powerful, and it was not as attacked by Cao Cao as in history.

Because of this, they quarreled.

To put it nicely, it's called brainstorming.

To put it mildly, it can probably only be described as a lot of people.

After the quarrel, the people above didn't even notice that the two main characters, Liu Bei and Liu Qi, had run out to hide.

Then, the two men met.

"...... is this, eldest prince?"

"Xuande Gong, ...... this?"

They looked at each other in unison, their eyes full of surprise, as if they didn't expect each other to run out.

The moment they opened their mouths to ask, both of them were suddenly stunned.

Immediately, they burst into laughter.

"Haha......"

"Haha, ahem......"

After laughing, they started talking.

Of course, they didn't talk about any important topics, but some parents were short, and at most they added a word or two of concern.

After chatting, the two of them said goodbye to each other, and returned to the home stadium with a serious face again, sounding noisy.

Before you know it, a few days have passed.

After intersecting with each other, when people were still noisy, the relationship between two people, who many people originally thought should be incompatible, turned out to be better day by day.

It's the day.

That is, on the sixth day of the garrison Xiakou, the two got together again and chatted.

But this time, instead of just talking about the family as before, they actually talked about the most important things at the moment......

How to defend against Cao Cao.

Of course, Liu Bei didn't express his attitude, but just asked sincerely: "What does the eldest prince think?" ”

"To tell the truth from Xuandegong, at the beginning, I did have some ideas, but now ......"

Liu Qi shook his head with a wry smile, and sighed: "I don't know what to do anymore." ”

After speaking, he said with a bitter face: "What does Xuande Gong think?" ”

Liu Bei didn't seem to expect Liu Qi to answer like this, and after a moment of silence, he finally spoke: "I only saw four words." ”

"Oh?" Liu Qi's curiosity rose instantly: "I don't know which four words?" ”

"The military heart is available!"

After Liu Bei slowly spit out these four words, he said all the better suggestions and strategies he had heard before with a serious face.

"Did the eldest prince find out? These days, although everyone is discussing, ...... But no one wants to surrender! ”

As he spoke, he explained the four words he uttered: "In the current situation, no one will surrender, which is the greatest good thing!" ”

"That's exactly what happened!"

Liu Qi subconsciously thought for a while, and then said in surprise: "If it weren't for what Xuande Gong said, I really didn't expect this." ”

With that, he fell silent.

There was a long, long silence.

After that, he slowly spoke: "Xuande Gong, but you already have a plan?" ”

After saying this, he seemed to have exhausted a lot of strength, and the sickness on his face actually became heavier.

"I have an idea......"

Liu Bei obviously didn't notice this, or had already noticed it, but he really didn't want to continue to waste time, so he directly told Chen Feng some of the plans that Chen Feng had secretly told him before.

"Therefore, we should be the first to ally with Sun Quan at present, and only in this way will our strength be greatly increased......"

"Next, we only need to leave a few soldiers and horses to defend the cities of Xiling, Qiyue, and Xiakou, and then we can show our strength in the south bank of the Yangtze River......

"Because if Cao Cao wants to attack Jiangxia, he must first find a place to be stationed, and in my opinion, the most suitable place for Cao Cao to be stationed is only west of Wulin......"

"We only need to be stationed on the south bank, and he will not dare to march again, so ......"

"What does the eldest prince think?"

“……”

Liu Qi was silent for a long time again, and then suddenly spoke: "Xuan Degong suddenly thought of this, I'm afraid there is a master behind it, right?" ”
