After Guan Yu packed Cao Cao's body in a coffin, he ordered Zheng Jun and Guan Ping to lead five thousand troops to garrison Pengcheng. He personally sent Cao Cao's body to restore his life.
On the other side, Taishi Ci helplessly looked at the direction where Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Dun were leaving. Neither of them was his opponent, but it was not easy for him to win over the other party in his eagerness. What's more, when Xiahou Dun and Xia Houyuan joined forces, Taishi Ci could only Being able to watch the other person leave.
When Taishi Ci and Gan Ning met for the round, seeing Taishi Ci's hands empty, Gan Ning sighed and said, "I knew you hadn't finished it either, right?"
"The main thing is that you let Xiahou Dun go and ran to me. Otherwise, if we fight for a few more hours, I will definitely be able to capture Xiahou Yuan." Taishi Ci was also familiar with Gan Ning and knew that this guy was not particular, so he was unhappy said.
"Don't be ridiculous. If you really want to kill the internal energy level, unless you have the strength of Lu Bu, and the horse under your crotch must be at the level of a red rabbit, otherwise, you will be defeated and no one can stop you." Gan Ning said helplessly. said.
"So you didn't try your best when chasing Xiahou Dun?" Tai Shici asked speechlessly.
"I tried my best, but I couldn't catch up. His horse is better than mine." Gan Ning sighed and said, "Fortunately, I bumped into someone named Cao Chun."
"This horse is really troublesome." Taishi Ci looked at the big yellow horse under his crotch. It was pretty good, but it was still far behind those top-quality horses, not to mention top-notch BMWs like Red Rabbit and Yezhao Jade Lion. .
"I can't find a good horse. I also want a BMW, ride on a big ship, ride a good horse, kill powerful generals, steal money and food, and live a happy life!" Gan Ning once again exposed his bad thoughts.
"Sigh, there are very few of those things. Whether you can find them is a matter of debate." Tai Shici sighed and said, "Has General Guan captured Cao Cao?"
"Dead." Gan Ning made a gesture and said.
"The Xuzhou incident seems to be settled." Taishi Ci sighed after hearing this and said he was a little depressed.
Gan Ning shook his head slightly. Although he looked relatively unimpressive, he was from a wealthy family in Shu after all. He had his own understanding of the disputes between aristocratic families and feudal lords. It was precisely because of this that he used this appearance to protect himself. For Taishi What Ci thought was a settlement was still far from being settled in his opinion. At least, this matter would not be considered settled until Xuzhou re-divided its forces.
But Gan Ning will never say anything about this. He will still maintain his true nature of pretending to be stupid. This is why Gan Ning admires Chen Xi very much, because only Chen Xi can completely ignore his pretending to be stupid. It felt like Chen Xi was fully aware of his abilities.
It is said that Gan Ning does not know what the situation of Wu Kingdom was in history. If he knew, he would understand why Chen Xi favored him.
Thinking back to that strange place in Jiangdong, it was a bit inexplicable that the six most powerful civil servants and generals including Sun Ce, Wu Siying, and Tai Shici died. However, Gan Ning, as a top military general, did not die in a strange way. This can make people doubt Gan Ning. Is the second-rate guy just a cover-up shell?
Liu Bei looked at Cao Cao's body in the coffin and sighed silently. Back then, he spoke eloquently and supported each other at Hulao Pass, thinking that the other party would become his like-minded comrade in the future. Unexpectedly, the troubled times had not yet been cleaned up. At that time, he led The friend he thought was his confidant has fallen at his feet.
"Alas, Cao Mengde, you have gone too far." Liu Bei held the coffin and scolded angrily. After a long time, he once said, "Brother Cao, just go ahead. I will treat your family and wife well. You I will also help you complete your unfinished ideals."
After finishing speaking, Liu Bei sighed and silently walked out of the tent where Cao Cao's coffin and body were kept. Death is like a lamp going out. Liu Bei is not the kind of tyrant who harms his family, and he doesn't want to hold Cao Cao accountable for his previous mistakes after his death. .
"Order to send him to Chenliu in Yanzhou." Liu Bei sighed after leaving the military tent.
"Report, the military advisor has sent an urgent report." A messenger rushed over on horseback.
"Nian!" Liu Bei said calmly.
"If Duke Xuande defeats Cao Mengde, he will quickly send people to the north of Pengcheng to confirm that there is an epidemic. The plague is rampant in Donghai County. Although Doctor Hua has prepared a prescription that is sufficient to treat the epidemic, I am very worried about the lack of medicinal materials. According to Cao Jun's handling of the corpses, I'm afraid a plague has broken out in the north of Pengcheng." After the messenger finished reading, his hands and feet were cold and his face looked panicked.
"This matter must not be spread outside!" Liu Bei glanced at the messenger.
"Here!" The messenger lowered his head even lower.
Little did he know that Chen Xi's hands and feet were cold when he thought about the possible situation north of Pengcheng. Historically, the plague in Xuzhou swept through Qingzhou, Yanzhou, Xuzhou, and Yuzhou, four large Central Plains states with a combined population of over 10 million, twice in a row. Or it could be said to be a plague, but half of the population was wiped out due to the ravages that were divided into two parts by a frost disaster.
To be honest, Cao Cao's massacre killed hundreds of thousands, but the subsequent plague that broke out due to poor handling of the dead bodies was the biggest problem. This is why Chen Xi felt like he had forgotten something when he went to mobilize troops.
The plague that broke out in Xuzhou in history directly severely damaged Xuzhou's vitality, and it no longer had the momentum of the granary of the Central Plains. As a result, the three affected states also declined significantly.
"I ordered Zilong and Bai Mayi to quickly go to the north of Pengcheng to investigate. I ordered Gan Xingba. Taishi Ziyi blocked the two rivers. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei blocked the border of Pengcheng. The rest of them will sit with me to guard Pengcheng." Liu Bei said to him. Li You, the part-time secretary beside him, ordered.
Li You frowned and quickly recorded what Liu Bei said, "My lord, I'd better send another letter to Tao Gongzu to explain the matter in Pengcheng. Tao Gongzu will definitely agree."
Liu Bei glanced at Li You and said nothing. He was now slightly aware of the thoughts of this group of people, but it was nothing. As Li You said, just tell Tao Gongzu about the Pengcheng incident, and the other party would definitely Yes.
"Let's go and celebrate the achievements of the generals first." Liu Bei swept away the haze from his eyebrows and laughed as if nothing happened.
On the other side, Xiahou Dun and Xia Houyuan protected Xun You and his party as they marched to Yuzhou in the west. There were originally tens of thousands of veterans, but now only a hundred or so were left, and only a few of the civil servants and generals were left.
"Zhongde, actually you don't need to knock me out." Cao Cao looked at Cheng Yu and said after he woke up.
"Lord..." Cheng Yu lowered his head and stopped talking.
"Zihe, Boran, Bojian, Gong Liu, Yuan Si..." Cao Cao glanced at his generals, "And Wen Lie..."
Everyone bowed their heads.
"Zhicai and Wenruo are still in Yanzhou, what do I have to fear, Liu Xuande, I am defeated by you today, and I will definitely decide the outcome with you from now on!" Cao Cao took a deep breath, stood up, and said firmly.
"Lord, we'd better rush from Yuzhou to Yanzhou to join Wen Ruo. Otherwise, if we don't hear from your lord for a long time, I'm afraid there will be chaos under my rule!" Cheng Yu said to Cao Cao.
"Instruct Wen Qian to abandon Fan County and retreat to Yanzhou as soon as possible." Cao Cao sighed and said, and suddenly the whole group of people looked at each other. (To be continued.)
