The current Cao Cao is happy to be the second Liu Bei.

ran away, more professional than Liu Bei, became Cao Ranran, and snatched Liu Bei's special patent for carrying people to flee south, and now leads the people of Xiangyang to run.

The people arranged by Yang Zhao couldn't catch up in the end, so they could only retreat and wait for the arrangement.

"I didn't expect Cao Cao to do it to this extent."

Yang Zhao listened to their report and said with some emotion.

Xun You said: "Cao Cao did this out of desperation, he wanted to use the people to block our pursuit, but it was not very difficult to dismantle Cao Cao's plan, and it was very easy." ”

Yang Zhao asked curiously, "What is Gongda's method?" ”

"I just came up with a solution."

Xun You smiled slightly, and said: "Cao Cao can take away the entire people of Xiangyang, the most important thing is to promote our unkindness, if we can find a way to tell those people that we are the teachers of benevolence and righteousness, are the people of Xiangyang still willing to abandon their homes and run away?" ”

Jia Xu said with a smile: "What Gongda thinks is similar to mine, to the people who are fleeing, to show benevolence and righteousness, you can win the hearts of the people of Jingzhou." ”

In fact, what Yang Zhao thought was not much different from theirs.

The people of Xiangyang are nothing more than afraid.

As long as they are not afraid, they can stay.

"Then I'll leave this matter to you."

Yang Zhao said confidently: "The people who blocked Cao Cao's fleeing army have almost collapsed, let's chase and kill them again to see where Cao Cao can escape." ”

"Yes!"

Jia Xu and Xun You said in unison.

Cao Cao reached this point, basically cornered, and could no longer do anything other than flee to the south.

"Lord!"

At this time, Shi A came back with a piece of news: "According to our investigation, we found that Liu Bei had led his troops out of Sichuan and Shu, and was heading south of Jingzhou, eastward along the Yangtze River, and seemed to be going to join Cao Cao, who had escaped. ”

"My senior brother, sure enough, came."

Yang Zhao was not surprised by this.

Because Liu Bei is also a person who is afraid of death, he understands that Cao Cao is defeated, and it will be his turn next.

They must unite to resist.

Yang Zhao is waiting for them to unite, if possible, they can also be in Jingzhou, Cao and Liu, all in one net, you can save a lot of trouble, and you can also save you to fight to Yizhou, said: "Monitor their movements, and report back when there is news." ”

"Good!"

Shi Ah said.

The shadow people around him acted quickly to find out all kinds of news for Yang Zhao.

Yang Zhao stayed in Xiangyang unhurriedly, waiting for their results, confident that Cao Cao and Liu Bei would not be able to escape, and they were already the turtles in his urn.

Waited less than a day.

"Lord, Huang Gong is here, and he has also brought a lot of people from the family." Fang Rui walked in and said.

There are many families, probably referring to those families in Jingzhou.

Yang Zhao wants to take Jingzhou, and the support of the family is still indispensable, use them first, and then gradually divide when the time comes, then the family will be like this, and his governance does not necessarily need the family.

Hearing this, he still went out to greet him, and soon met Huang Rong.

"Uncle Yue!"

Yang Zhao bowed.

Huang Rong and the others returned the salute and said, "Mingguang finally called Xiangyang, we have been waiting for a long time, come!" I'll introduce you to a few friends, and they're all willing to help you take control of Jingzhou. ”

Those few friends are naturally the Kuai family, the Cai family, and the Huan family......

Driven by Huang Rong and Cao Cao, they couldn't see any hope, and they all expressed their willingness to support Yang Zhao.

Even the Cai family, which is Cai Mao, under the leadership of the new head of the family, is willing to let go of the hatred of Cai Mao's death.

Yang Zhao was naturally satisfied with their arrival, and then asked people to set up a banquet to entertain the heads of these families, exchange feelings, and get all kinds of materials in Jingzhou.

From now on, it is basically announced that there is nothing to do with Cao Cao in Jingzhou.

After entertaining the heads of the house, another day passed.

Yang Zhao got the news from Jia Xu that the people who fled south had almost been resolved, so he left Zhang Liao in the city and led his troops to chase Cao Cao.

Now Cao Cao's whole person is numb.

As soon as I got the news, it was said that the people who fled after them and resisted Yang Zhao's pursuit by the way were all deceived by Yang Zhao with all kinds of foolish words.

Yang Zhao was still on the road, setting up cauldrons.

Inside was hot porridge of meat, all for the people who had fled.

They hurriedly followed Cao Cao and ran away, and there was basically no time to cook on the way, so they all ate some dry food that was difficult to swallow.

There are quite a few people who do not even have dry food and can only starve.

The people were drooling over the hot porridge.

In addition, Yang Zhao preached benevolence and righteousness and did not kill any ordinary person in Xiangyang.

Make sure there is no danger and that there is something to eat.

All the people who fled didn't want to run away at this time, so they all turned around and went back to Yang Zhao, even if they died, they would be a full ghost.

Cao Cao was about to be mad, so he could only urge: "Run, don't care!" ”

They are running faster and faster.

But not long after running, Gao Shun and Guo Huai led the troops first and chased to the rear.

"Kill!"

Gao Shun said in a loud voice: "Those who descend will not die!" ”

Guo Huai echoed: "Those who descend will not die!" ”

The soldiers who killed the past together, while pressing Cao Cao and them to the ground and beating them, shouted that those who surrendered would not die.

Many Cao soldiers in the rear army were shaken when they heard that they could live if they surrendered.

For a time, there were quite a few people who were willing to surrender.

"Lord!"

Yu Banran back and said, "Our rear army has surrendered one after another, what should we do?" ”

Cao Cao shouted angrily: "Damn, pass the order, whoever dares to surrender will be killed directly." ”

"My lord, no!"

Chen Gong shook his head and said: "Such a killing will lead to the discouragement of the army, and when the time comes, not only the rear army, but also our front army may be chaotic, and the fleeing soldiers will betray the lord." ”

"So what should I do?"

Cao Cao asked anxiously.

Chen Qun said: "Leave all our artillery behind, and then arrange a group of soldiers who are not afraid of death, bombard Yang Zhao's pursuers, stop them, and we will continue to run." ”

Cao Cao said eagerly: "Then do what the long article says, quickly!" ”

The soldiers moved quickly, carrying fleeing artillery ammunition, which was very heavy and cumbersome.

Most of them are now discarded and used to bombard pursuers, greatly increasing the speed of escape.

"What's up ahead?"

Cao Cao asked again.

"Dangyang, Nagasaka Slope!"

Xi Zhong responded, wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead, and panted: "As long as we cross the Dangyang Bridge, we will be safe." ”

"Let's go, go to Dangyang Bridge."

Cao Cao took a deep breath and continued to urge him to escape.

Without those burdens, the escape is indeed much faster.

They ran wildly all the way, running indiscriminately, leaving Yang Zhao's pursuers behind.

Large rear.

The discarded artillery was integrated by two thousand dead soldiers of the Cao army who were not afraid of death, and prepared to strike at the pursuing Guo Huai and Gao Shun to cover Cao Cao's escape.
