Cao Cao led the army to retreat all the way from Wulin to Huarong Road, Huarong Road belongs to Yunmengze, muddy, the road is impassable, the sky is blowing strong winds, the soldiers are tired, most of them fall behind, and even leave on their own, Cao Cao only cares about running, and does not care about these soldiers.

When the road could not be walked, Cao Cao asked all the old and weak soldiers to carry grass on the road, and many people sat down on the ground due to physical exhaustion and no longer got up.

Cao Cao said angrily: "As a sergeant, did you disobey the order and let you pave the road without hearing it?" Whoever comes and can't afford to sit on the ground and delays will be killed! "The subordinates promised.

Cheng Yu next to him gasped and said, "Prime Minister, we ran all night, and the soldiers are tired." It's better to take a break. It's better to wait for the laggards to fall behind. ”

Cao Cao said: "Zhongde, let me ask you, what is the most taboo thing about escaping?" ”

Cheng Yu was puzzled and said: "The most taboo is scattered, uneven, and unorganized. ”

Cao Cao smiled, and then his face sank and he shouted, "Wrong, Zhongde, you can't tell the difference between retreating and fleeing. You call it retreat, I'm asking about escape. Liu Bei has already demonstrated it to us. Even if he has the slightest strength, he will run forward, no matter what happens to him, and don't even turn his head. We are tired, you ask Liu Bei and Zhou Yu if they are tired. Go to Gangneung and talk about it, and don't worry about the rest. ”

Then he pointed at the soldiers and horses paving the road with his horsewhip and shouted: "Hurry up, I will kill whoever is slow!" ”

At Cao Cao's urging, the soldiers and horses had just finished paving a barely walkable road, and Cao Cao shouted: "Follow me." With that, the horse immediately rushed over.

The old and weak soldiers were trampled by men and horses, trapped in the mud, and suffered countless casualties, and the wounded wailed.

Cao Cao rushed out of Huarong Dao and laughed: "Liu Bei is my opponent, but he is not good at making decisions immediately."

Soon, Liu Bei and the other armies set fire to the mountain and followed Cao Cao. It's too late.

Liu Bei gathered the troops in Huarong Road, and the soldiers escorted the prisoners, and gathered the troops to seize the armor, equipment, and banners of the Cao army.

Fu Wei came to Liu Bei's horse and reported: "Lord Qi, according to the captured Cao Jun, Cao Cao rushed out of Huarong Road and ran away. ”

Liu Bei said: "Well, it's good. Go get busy! Fu Wei was ordered to retreat.

Liu Bei said to Xu Shu next to him: "Look at Yuan Zhi, we can't catch up with Cao Cao, the will of heaven is like this, we can't force it." ”

Before Xu Shu could speak, Zhang Fei next to him said, "Yes, big brother, Cao Cao can run just like you!" Zhang Feigang thought after speaking: "Well, this doesn't seem right." ”

added another sentence: "Big brother, you can't run without Cao Cao." That doesn't seem to be true.

Xu Shu opened his mouth and said: "Whoever can achieve great things, self-preservation is the first." Cao Mengde stabbed Dong and left Chenliu, Bianshui was defeated, and Cao Hong offered his horse. After Wancheng Dianwei was broken, his son sacrificed a horse. That's why. It was inconvenient for me to say more about Emperor Gaozu back then. ”

Liu Bei nodded slowly and said, "I have to do it as a last resort." Alas. ”

Xu Shu said: "Lord, it's useless to stay here, hand it over to Yide, let's go back to Xiakou for the time being." ”

Liu Bei said: "That's exactly what I mean. "Since returning to Xiakou.

After Cao Cao returned to Jiangling, he stayed in Cao Ren, Cao Hong continued to stay in Jiangling, hired Tun Jiangxia, and was stationed in Xiangyang, full of favor to act as General Fenwei, and Tun in Dangyang, and returned to Xuchang by introducing the public.

After the victory of Chibi, Sun Quan gathered his troops, led the victorious division, divided his troops to Zhou Yu to take Nanjun, and personally led the army to attack Hefei in the north.

Su Fei led the water army to hang the banner of Jingzhou Mu Liu Qi along the coast, and the Jingzhou soldiers and horses who were incorporated by Cao Cao in the defeat and retreated surrendered to Su Fei when they saw the banner, so Su Fei gathered two or three thousand defeated soldiers. And Liu Bei drove three or four thousand people to Xiakou, Zhuge Liang and Liu Qi integrated soldiers and horses, and waited for Liu Bei to come.

Zhou Yu attacked Cao Ren and took Jiangling directly, Guan Yu and Gan Ning asked Xia Kou to return, Zhou Yu said: "Although Cao Cao was defeated and retreated, there are still tens of thousands of elite soldiers, and my two families are working together. ”

Guan Yu and Gan Ning couldn't and were about to retire, Zhou Yu said: "Recently, our army is going to help Liu Qi Gongzi recover Jingzhou, the two of them have been in Jingzhou for a long time, they can be the front, I don't know if it can be." ”

Guan Yu said: "We are waiting for the joint army to break Cao, now Cao Cao has been broken, and the matter of entering the army will be discussed after my lord comes." ”

Zhou Yu smiled: "Well, since the two of you are afraid of Cao Jun, I can't say anything." Please. ”

Gan Ning said angrily when he heard this: "You don't want to underestimate me, and wait for me to break Cao Jun alone." ”

Zhou Yu said: "There is no joke in the army. ”

Gan Ning said: "Naturally. ”

Zhou Yu said: "Since this is the case, then good, come and make a military order." ”

Gan Ning said: "What military order?" ”

Zhou Yu said: "There is no joke in the army, and the military order is a guarantee." Come on! ”

Guan Yu snorted and said, "Zhou Dudu is too deceitful!" ”

Zhou Yu said: "How dare you, is your army talking casually?" ”

Gan Ning said: "Stand up, come." After saying that, Gan Ning stepped forward, Guan Yu waved his hand to stop him, Gan Ning insisted on going, and Guan Yu was not easy to stop.

Gan Ning's military order was halfway up and said: "I will be rewarded for my meritorious service, and the weapons and horses I have captured are all mine." ”

Zhou Yu smiled: "Naturally, I will also reward you for your merits." ”

Gan Ning raised his eyebrows and said, "The seized ones are all mine, you still have a reward, right?" ”

Zhou Yu said: "Not bad. ”

Gan Ning wrote a military order:

Gan Ning had to fight with Cao Ren of Jiangling City for a while within half a month, and obtained five hundred heads. If he avoids the battle or fails to obtain the first five hundred, he is willing to serve as a military order.

It's done. Zhou Yu personally accepted it. Gan Ning handed it over to Guan Yu, Guan Yu glanced at it and accepted it and said, "I won't do it to see what you Zhou Yu can do to me!" ”

Zhou Yu said: "Come and put wine for Xingba to strengthen your momentum." General Guan also drank a cup of wine. ”

Guan Yu said: "No need, Guan never drinks when he is on the march." ”

Gan Ning also took the wine glass and drank it down, and then the two withdrew.

Guan Yu reproached Gan Ning and said, "Xingba, then you are too impulsive." Zhou Gongjin made it clear that he was calculating you and me, and wanted us to fight with Cao Ren, so that he could profit from it! ”

Gan Ning said: "I know, Zhou Yu doesn't know the truth, and he still wants me to fight with Cao Ren and sit on the mountain to watch the tiger fight." ”

Guan Yu said: "Why did Xingba make a military order!" The military order is clearly written. ”

Gan Ning asked, "What is written?" ”

Guan Yu said: "You don't know that you stand on your own?" You are to attack Gangneung Castle in half a month and capture 500 men. ”

Gan Ning said: "When did I say that I was going to attack Jiangling City?" ”

Guan Yu said on fire: "You wrote it yourself." ”

Gan Ning said: "I said that I would fight Cao Ren in Jiangling City, but I didn't say that I would attack Jiangling City. ”

Guan Yu said: "Nonsense, Cao Ren is in Jiangling City, what if he doesn't come out?" ”

Gan Ning smiled: "Yun Chang is really a gentleman, I don't know the tricks of our people. Let me tell you Yun Chang, when I was a river thief, I plundered from all sides. Sometimes when I come across a prefectural order that I don't like, I go to find something. But these county orders are all opportunistic people, and I can't find fault with the arrangement. What to do. So I spoke to him with all my might, picking out his words to find trouble. Now that's what I am. ”

Then he said in Guan Yu's ear: "Yun Chang, there is an important place in Jiangling City called Yiling, if we can take this city." Cao Ren will inevitably come to seize it, and when the time comes, I will break Cao Ren for a while, and the matter on the military order will be over. After that, let's watch Zhou Yu and Cao Ren fight under Jiangling City! ”

Guan Yu listened and said: "Okay, Xingba has a clever plan, and you will save it." By the way, Xingba, when did I become a gentleman. You're not a river thief either. Let's put it bluntly, it's a dog slaughterer, no different. ”

Gan Ning smiled: "Yes." ”
