Cao Wu's thinking is very simple, Liu Bei only has dozens of people, and it is likely that there are women and children such as Mrs. Mi and Adou, although the mountain road is difficult, it is impossible to abandon the horse.

And Cao Xiu's tiger and leopard ride, each of them has two horses, two horses chasing one horse, no matter what, there is a chance.

Moreover, although the number of the elite of the tiger and leopard cavalry is no more than a thousand, Cao Xiu and Wei Yan can only lead five hundred, but it is enough to pursue Liu Bei.

To deal with Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Zhao Yun, such super combat power, either Zhang Liao and other people who are not inferior to them will resist hard, or they will use crowd tactics, and with Cao Xiu's elite ability, twenty people will go together, which is enough to entangle them.

Even in the face of danger, the tiger and leopard rider can calmly retreat.

This is a strong army that all generals in the world want to have, but limited by supplies and horses, few people in the whole world can afford to raise such an army.

Cao Xiu and Wei Yan were ordered to go back to Zhangliao's camp to move troops, and the task they got was to pursue hard for a day and a night, and if they didn't succeed, they would come back, and they didn't have to feel guilty if they couldn't catch up.

Time was urgent, and neither of them delayed.

As the owner of the tiger and leopard ride, Cao Xiu was obviously not very satisfied with the juxtaposition of himself and Wei Yan, and Wei Yan was eager to try his first military mission under Cao Wu, and the two of them would definitely chase after him.

After explaining the pursuit in a few words, Cao Wu asked the generals to go their separate ways, contain the soldiers, clean up the battlefield, and build a temporary camp next to Zhang Liao's camp, there are still many things to do.

And Lu Xun led Cao Wu to the side of the camp and saw Chen Dao who was tied.

Chen Zhi was not tortured, there were some injuries on his body, but they were not serious, although he had not eaten for a long time, he was still in good spirits, staring at the guards around him, and seemed to be ready to find an opportunity to escape at any time.

But as soon as Lu Xun appeared, he collected the essence and carefully observed Cao Wulai.

The two walked in front of Chen Zhi, and Lu Xun said: "This is my father-in-law, General Cao of Beifu." ”

Chen Zhiben was still puzzled who this person was, and when he heard the affirmative answer, the essence in his eyes flashed, and he said in a deep voice: "The name of the general of Beifu has been admired for a long time, and in the battle of Chibi, the entire army of our army and the navy division were wiped out, all thanks to the general." ”

Cao smiled indifferently, and didn't do anything to untie it in shock.

For Chen Dao, he only knows a few sporadic sentences, such as the history of his courage is not inferior to Zhao Yun, after Liu Bei entered Shu, there was an elite army with white feathers on his head, called Bai Yu Bing, which was called "Western Soldiers" by Zhuge Liang, which was regarded as the special forces of Shu Han.

Such a fierce general, of course Cao Wu wants to persuade him to surrender, he adheres to the principle of hollowing out the emperor's uncle's family, anyway, Zhuge Liang, Huang Zhong, and Wei Yan are all in his hands, Jiang Wan may also have been persuaded by Ah Ba with a food box, and one more Chen is not too much, it is a big deal to recreate Bai Yu soldiers for him to command in the future.

He squatted down in front of Chen Zhi, his eyes were level with him, and said slowly: "In the south of Jiangxia, there are three hundred and seventy-six villages. ”

As soon as he opened his mouth, he firmly attracted Chen Zhi's gaze, Chen Zhi didn't know, he suddenly mentioned Jiangxia, what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd.

"At the beginning of the thirteenth year of Jian'an, Sun Quan broke the Huang Zu and slaughtered Yuecheng, but did not dispose of the corpses, and the epidemic spread and gradually spread to the south of Jiangxia."

"In October, the epidemic did not stop, and the divine doctor Hua Tuo entered Jiangxia, only to find that in the south of Jiangxia, there were only one hundred and twenty-nine villages left."

Chen Zhi was shocked, he had already guessed what Cao Wu was going to say.

Sure enough, Cao Wu continued: "In November, the so-called phoenix chick, phoenix chick Pang Shiyuan had evil thoughts, and ordered Mi Fang to cross the river from Xiakou, arrest the villagers, and disperse the epidemic, so that the corpses contaminated with the epidemic flowed into the vanguard of the Cao army, Xiahou Miaocai. ”

"Xiahou Miaocai and Zhang Yun's vanguard army, a total of 30,000 people, was defeated by Zhou Yu in a battle, and only 10,000 people escaped because of the strength of Cao's army, and also because of ......"

Cao Wuyi pointed to the north and said quietly: "Some people did not hesitate to kill dozens of villagers for the sake of war!" ”

"In November, the divine doctor Hua Tuo checked the southern part of Jiangxia again, and there were only thirty-six of the one hundred and twenty-nine villages left! More than ninety villages have disappeared! In a year, there is not one in ten in the south of Jiangxia. The person you escorted out, Liu Qi, he called himself Jiangxia Taishou, is this how he is a Taishou? ”

"What is he guarding? A skin or a flag? If you want me to say, he is dead and he is dead. Those dead people, who will miss him? ”

Chen Zhi's brows tightened, he thought that Cao Jun would persuade him to surrender, humiliate or kill him, but he never thought that Cao Wu would say it from such an angle.

At the beginning, Mi Fang was beaten away by Cao Wu, Pang Tong was worried that Mi Fang would not be able to defeat Xiahou Yuan, so he asked him to take over Mi Fang's expedition to the villages in the south of Jiangxia.

Later, Sun Liu was defeated in the Battle of Chibi, and no one mentioned this matter again, but it was a shadow in Chen Zhi's heart, he saw with his own eyes how Mi Fang's guards enslaved the people, which was completely different from the belief in his heart.

Seeing that he had wavered, Cao Wu stood up and said condescendingly: "I heard that Liu Qi has always intended to serve Liu Bei as the pastor of Jingzhou. So, Uncle Chen, let me ask you, the southern part of Jiangxia suffered from epidemics, the northern part of Jiangxia was flooded by Zhou Yu for hundreds of miles, Jiangxia was eroded like a hell, where is Liu Bei, the state pastor? ”

"He ran away, and he didn't keep the summer pass! When the people suffered, I organized 100,000 people to rescue the disaster, and it took more than ten days to save them. Your lord, he ran away, he didn't save a disaster, but he fell into a reputation for benevolence, why? ”

Chen Zhi's face turned pale, all the spirits just now were gone, and the whole person was as languishing as a frosted eggplant.

Cao Wu pointed out Liu Bei's biggest weakness, he managed for half his life and achieved nothing.

Chen Zhi is loyal and can tolerate Liu Bei's nothingness, but he can't bear Liu Bei's escape.

"Uncle Chen, when you returned to Xiakou from Jiangmian North, you were already an outcast, but you died now."

Cao Wu patted the dust on his body and said indifferently: "Uncle Chen, the epidemic in the south of Jiangxia, the divine doctor Hua Tuo cured the disease, and Xiahou Miaocai and I saved people." The flood in the northern part of Jiangxia was the result of our efforts to organize a rescue effort. After these two incidents, the people of Jiangxia lived at least 100,000 more! The reason why I don't want you to support the Han family is because—"

Cao Wu turned around, and his voice came from the air.

"I do practical things."

Hearing this, Lu Xun's eyes were shining, Chen Zhi was very strong, although he was not necessarily good at leading the army, he was definitely a master of charging into battle, he was still worried that Cao Wu would kill Chen Zhi, but now it seems that he is too worried, Cao Wubi He knows how to persuade a person to surrender.

Persuading a loyal person like Chen Zhi is by no means as simple as letting go of the tie after a few laughs. Every time Cao Wu wants to convince someone, the angles and words he uses are brilliant. He learned Cao Wu's nursery rhyme tricks, but he couldn't learn Cao Wu's ability to persuade people. But for him, the stronger Cao Wu is, the safer he will be, and whether it is revenge or fame in the future, there will always be room for him to exert himself.

Lu Xun followed Cao Wu away, leaving only Chen Zhi silently in place, stunned and didn't know what he was thinking.

Obviously, the words "outcast" and "100,000 people" greatly stimulated him.

……

In the middle of the five mountains, Liu Bei woke up leisurely, and sighed, he fell into a coma inexplicably last night, and slept for too long, and now he knows what happened last night, and his whole face is a lot sad.

Guan Zhang Zhao has experienced everything last night soberly, although he can't bear it in his heart, but he also admires Pang Tong's strategy to jump out of the encirclement, no matter what, they have been out of the scope of supervision of Zhang Liao's camp, and finally jumped into the sea, and they can go everywhere.

Liu Bei sighed for a long time, and wanted to draw his sword twice to kill himself, once for his son Liu Qi, and once for Shamoke, who helped the fist, but under the persuasion of Guan Zhangzhao and others, he finally accepted the reality in front of him.

This time, there were only more than 30 of them, and they didn't need to settle down at all, so they found a slope to rest.

Pang Tong looked at the sky, and then looked at the fleeing team, although they were out of the encirclement, the warning in their hearts never subsided.

His ugly face was full of doubts, and after thinking about it again and again, he finally said: "Lord, Adou is too young, there were many soldiers before, and he was good to take care of, but now there are few people, I am afraid that I will not be able to continue to travel westward, for the sake of today, it is better for me and Zilong to escort Mrs. Mi and Adou south to Cangwu and ask for help from Cangwu Wu Taishou." ”

"This ......"

Liu Bei has lost several generals, his heart is like a knife, and he is really reluctant to part with others again.

"Lord, time is urgent, I'm always afraid that Cao Jun will find out about our arrangement and pursue it."

Pang Tong is persuaded by color.

Ma Liang laughed: "The military advisor has a clever plan, I'm afraid that those mediocre people in Cao Ying won't find out the clue at all, and even if they do, it's already a few hours later, how can they pursue us?" ”

Ma Jian said: "What the eldest brother said is extremely true, and the military advisor is too worried. ”

Pang Tong's face did not change: "Please also ask the lord to agree, calculate the time, Mr. Jian should have arrived in Cangwu, with him as a pioneer lobbyist, I should also be able to have some merits." ”

He knew in his heart that the existence of Mrs. Mi and Adou was too much of a drag on Liu Bei's marching speed, and he took the two of them south, which could not only greatly improve Liu Bei's escape speed, but also try his luck at Cangwu Taishou.

He took Liu Bei to go first, thinking that even if the base camp was discovered, Chen Zhi and Shamoke still had the strength to fight, how could he know that the commander of the Cao army was so atrocity and burned the foundation of the Wuxi barbarians, which was beyond his expectations.

Although he escaped, he failed to weaken Zhang Liao's strength, he was very dissatisfied, and wanted to find Wu Ju to borrow troops and take back a city.

Pang Tong persuaded him, and Liu Bei finally agreed, and Zhao Yun, Mi Fang, and Jingzhou belonged to his Yi nationality, plus Pang Tong, a total of four people, to escort Mrs. Mi and Adou to Cangwu to join Wu Ju.

The rest of the people traveled west through the Five Mountains, and finally entered Shu and went to Liu Zhang.

The two sides were separated, and Pang Tong was just about to leave, Liu Bei saw Pang Tong coming out in a hurry, and his clothes couldn't keep out the cold, so he took off his white robe, draped it on Pang Tong's shoulders, and said: "This is thousands of miles away, take care of the military advisor." ”

Pang Tong's heart warmed, and he hugged his fists and said: "Take care, lord!" ”

The two separated, Liu Bei turned his head, and saw that Pang Tong's horse was not very good, so he hurriedly dismounted, led his horse over to Pang Tong and said: "This horse has faster foot strength, the military advisor will ride this!" ”

Pang Tong heard that although the Luma here is fast, he has the name of defending the master, but he calls himself a phoenix, how can he care about this, he does not shirk, happily gets on the horse, and says again: "Take care!" ”

"Take care!"

The two were reluctant to part, and they didn't know what was waiting for them on the road ahead.
