Seeing that the army began to return to normal, Cao Cao became satisfied. He also saw that the river behind him was rising faster and faster, and became more and more urgent. At this time, Cao Cao became anxious, so he took Xun You, escorted by Xu Chu, and galloped towards the White Horse Ferry!
When the generals under his command saw that their lord was in such a panic, they panicked without any instructions. They called the soldiers under their command and followed the lord towards the White Horse Ferry. And they all ran at the front of the team, following closely behind the lord, as if they were leading the way!
Just like this, they hurriedly and slowly hurriedly hurried, and by the time they approached the boat at Baima Ferry, the flood had already submerged half of everyone's body. Of course, this is not the most serious thing. What is even more serious is that almost half of the soldiers are lagging behind and are still some distance away from the ferry!
Seeing this, Cao Cao did not hesitate at all. He took the military advisors and generals and boarded the ferry boat. I saw that a small number of soldiers also boarded the boat. As for the other soldiers, I could only let them resign themselves to their fate!
After having made a decision in his heart, Cao Cao was a little cruel and without any hesitation, he ordered to the army, "Send my order to the general. The army will set off immediately and move towards Yanzhou quickly without stopping!"
"It's my lord, I will obey your order!" After hearing Cao Cao's military order, no one raised any objections. Even Xun You had a normal expression and accepted the order happily!
So, those who escaped followed the direction of Cao Cao's boat and went home to Yanzhou. As for the remaining army, they can only be left to fend for themselves. Cao Cao and the others really can't help them!
"Lord, we were wrong, wait for us!"
"Please, my lord, wait for us and take us home together!"
"Master, give us one last chance and take us with you!"
The army that was left behind saw that the lord and the generals did not stop at all, so they casually left them at the White Horse Ferry, in the flood that was about to submerge their heads. They all became frightened and began to apologize and beg for mercy!
It's a pity that no matter how they shouted and begged for mercy, the entire leaving team did not stop at all, and no one even turned around to look at their figures. It was really that the heavens were not responding, and the earth was not responding!
Seeing that the water was about to completely submerge them, at this time, they seemed to understand. It turns out that we have been ruthlessly abandoned. There is no use begging for mercy, and apologizing is just in vain!
Maybe he figured it out, or maybe he was more sad than his heart was dead. I don't know that the soldier blurted out and cursed Cao Cao, which aroused the resonance of the soldiers!
"Damn it, Cao Cao is such an unreliable eunuch that he left us to die. What a rubbish lord!"
"That's right, that's right. After all, none of these eunuchs are good. They would have surrendered if they had known it. How could they be treated like this?"
"Damn it, eunuch Cao, just wait for me, we won't let you go even if we act like ghosts!"
"What a damn bad luck, brothers and sisters in Yanzhou, listen, even if you are a ghost, don't work for Cao Cao's eunuch, we are teaching you a lesson!"

Only a series of gurgling sounds of bubbling water were heard, and soon everyone's curses and dissatisfaction were drowned in the long water of the Yellow River. In one fell swoop, the nearly 200,000 troops who had followed Cao Cao back from Guandu were reduced sharply by 140,000, leaving less than 60,000 troops left!
Moreover, the 60,000 troops who escaped from the flood began to feel a little disappointed, especially after seeing the lord deal with the remaining troops with thunderous means. They had a new understanding of the majesty of their lord, and began to be afraid!
Hearing the curses hurled at him by the army left behind before they died, Cao Cao was rarely angry. He might have been a little ashamed for not leading everyone to evacuate safely. But there is nothing that can be done about it. After all, the conditions do not allow it. A dead Taoist friend will not die a poor Taoist!
Perhaps out of shame or fear that doing so would damage his reputation, after the soldiers were completely swallowed up by the flood, Cao Cao squeezed out a few tears and cried hypocritically!
"Hey, it's not that I don't want to take everyone away, it's just that I can't help. Now I don't know whether I'm alive or dead, let alone you!"
Xun You was very sure of Cao Cao's heart. Seeing that his lord was showing off, he needed someone to cooperate. He did his part, stood up and echoed!
"My lord, please don't do this. It's all because of the viciousness of the enemy army. They broke the dike twice. They really didn't leave a way for people to survive. My lord can put this debt on their heads and take revenge later!"
"That's right, the military advisor is right. It's all the enemy's fault and has nothing to do with the lord!"
"Yes, I believe that brothers will understand my lord, we are also for a great cause!"
"My lord also has a big plan. Brothers will definitely understand. Please relax, lord, as he is looking for an opportunity to avenge himself!"
As soon as Xun You finished speaking, he received unanimous approval from Cao Cao's generals. They all spoke for Cao Cao, and no one felt sorry for the soldiers. But this is normal. These are troubled times, and people in troubled times are worse than dogs!
"Hey, I would rather teach me to betray the world than teach the world to betray me!" After hearing everyone's consolation, Cao Cao began to show his true colors. After sighing, he revealed his inner voice wildly! Qiqi's first release on the entire network
"My lord is not good, the enemy is about to catch up, we have to retreat quickly!" Suddenly, Xu Chu saw Yuan Jun chasing this way by boat, and hurriedly reported to his lord!
At this time, Cao Cao also discovered that the enemy's banner was getting closer and closer to their ship, and heard Xu Chu's reminder. There was no need to worry about it, and he quickly called out to the army!
"Send the order, the army will speed up and march straight towards Yanzhou. Don't be lazy. Anyone who dares to delay will be killed immediately!"
"It's my lord, we obey!"
Following Cao Cao's order, Yuan Jun was about to catch up with them. The surviving soldiers of Cao's army, under the command of the generals, rowed the boat with all their strength and galloped towards Yanzhou!
Fortunately, he was fast enough and ran for another twenty miles, finally throwing away the pursuers. Cao Cao and the remaining remnants finally reached a relatively safe place. Seeing that there were no more pursuers behind them, they were able to take a breather!
At this time, Cao Cao also felt very tired. Although he did not row the boat himself, the mental fatigue was better than the physical fatigue. Taking advantage of this moment of rest, Cao Cao couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the long water of the Yellow River!
"The long Yellow River is so difficult!"
"The long Yellow River cannot be crossed!"
"The Yellow River is long and the road ahead is long!"
"The Yellow River is long, I can cross it!"
In this way, Cao Cao took advantage of the excitement and returned in defeat. He crossed the river with an army of 300,000 to attack Hebei. Now he only gained an inch of land, not to mention the loss of troops. Now he can only return to Yanzhou with the remaining remnants in despair. In this way, the battle between Cao Cao and the Hebei troops in Guandu can come to an end. Of course, this will not be the end, but a new beginning!
This also made Cao Cao lose face, and he secretly decided to regain his position, no matter what method. This laid a hidden danger for Cheng Yu's poisonous plot in the future. Of course, this is something to talk about later, let’s not mention it for now!
