When Cao Cao saw Yu Yi, he was about to say some words of thanks, but there was no chance. Yu Yi turned around and swung away the bow and arrow shot from behind, shouting to Cao Cao: "My lord, leave quickly! I will cut off the rear."
Cao Cao continued walking forward, and soon Yu Yi rushed over and finally escaped from the encirclement. Along the way, Cao Cao met other generals and counted the remaining soldiers.
After Xiahou Dun let Yu Yi go, he led his Qingzhou soldiers to take advantage of the situation and went to the countryside to plunder the surrounding B&Bs. He defeated the captain Yu Jin and led his troops to kill them from the side to appease the villagers.
It happened that Yu Yi escaped with Cao Cao and met the Qingzhou soldiers. The Qingzhou soldiers told Cao Cao the situation and said that Yu Jin was rebelling. Cao Cao was surprised after hearing this. After a while, Xiahou Dun, Xu Chu, Li Dian, Le Jin and others came over.
Cao Cao briefly told the generals how he escaped, and at the same time thanked Yu Yi. Then in order to verify whether Yu Jin was really rebelling, he decided to go and see for himself.
He prepared for the worst and went to check with his troops and horses. When Yu Jin saw Cao Cao's troops arriving, he led his soldiers to shoot arrows directly and set up camp at the same time. They were not allowed to get close.
Someone shouted: "The Qingzhou soldiers said that you, General Yu Jin, were rebelling. Now that the prime minister has arrived, you just shot randomly and set up camp without distinguishing. Do you really want to rebel?"
Yu Jin replied: "Now the enemy's pursuers are behind us. If we don't prepare to defend immediately, how will we meet the enemy and how will we have time to meet the enemy? Distinguishing is a trivial matter, but retreating from the enemy is a big deal!"
Not long after, Zhang Xiu led two groups of troops to fight over. Yu Jin went ahead to meet the enemy. Zhang Xiu was in a hurry and prepared to retreat. When the generals on the left and right saw Yu Jin in front, they all led their troops to attack Zhang. Xiu, Zhang Xiu was naturally vulnerable, and was chased for more than a hundred miles. In the end, he was weak, so he took the defeated troops and went to Liu Biao.
Cao Cao collected his troops and re-counted the generals. Yu Jin came in to ask for an audience and told the Qingzhou soldiers that they were looting and killing innocent people on the road, which disappointed the people, so he led the troops behind to kill them.
Cao Cao said: "If you don't tell me, you will go to the stronghold by yourself. Why?"
Yu Jin still said the previous words again, without any fear of Cao Cao's blame.
Cao Cao looked at Yu Yi beside him and said, "How do you think Yu Jin should be punished for this matter?"
Yu Yi did not expect that Cao Cao would ask him about his plans, so he simply talked about his views and said: "Actually, the Prime Minister already has an idea in his mind. General Yu Jin was able to gather troops and camp for defense in a hurry, and did not listen to rumors. Rumors, so he turned defeat into victory, this is a famous general in ancient times, how can he be blamed?"
Cao Cao looked at Yu Yi in surprise and said, "What you said won my heart!"
So he rewarded Yu Jin with a set of gold vessels, rewarded Yu Yi with some gold and silver, and named Yu Jin the Marquis of Yishou Pavilion. At the same time, he rebuked Xiahou Dun for his lax leadership of the army, and set up an altar to worship Dian Wei.
Speaking of Dian Wei, Yu Yi also felt very sad. After all, it was so tragic when he died. Cao Cao paid homage to him in person, with tears streaming down his face the whole time. He said to the generals around him: "In the battle of Wancheng, I lost I didn’t feel anything bad about losing my son or my nephew, but I was really devastated when I lost my beloved general Dian Wei!”
Everyone sighed and ordered to return to Xudu the next day. Yuyi originally planned to go find Jia Xu and ask him why he surrendered so suddenly and dealt such a heavy blow to Cao Cao, but he was afraid of arousing everyone's suspicion, so he went back together. Xu Du, borrowed a road to go to Yuzhou on the way.
After Zou and Yuyi parted ways, they really headed north. She deliberately made her face very dirty. At the same time, she picked up the soldiers' dirty clothes and put them on, and put on a hat. Basically no one could recognize it. A beautiful woman then trekked all the way in the direction of Daoxiang Village. In fact, she didn't know where Daoxiang Village was, just for that promise.
When Cao Cao returned to Xudu, he also sent people to the original camp to search for the whereabouts of the Zou family. There was no trace of the Zou family. However, Dian Wei's body was buried nearby. Cao Cao secretly sent people to rebury him and found a place with very good Feng Shui. Good place.
Wang Ze also arrived at Xuzhou with the imperial edict. When Lu Bu learned about it, he hurriedly went to welcome him to his mansion. He read out the edict, named Lu Bu General Pingdong, gave him the seal and ribbon, and took out the letter written by Cao Cao. A secret letter. When Lu Bu read the letter, Wang Ze explained that the words were full of respect and also expressed Cao Cao's mutual respect. Lu Bu was naturally happy to be praised.
At this time, someone reported that Yuan Shu had sent someone, and Lu Bu summoned him to come in.
The envoy said: "Yuan Shu has the jade seal in his hand. Sooner or later he will be the emperor. He will set up a palace in the East Palace and ask the princess to get married in Huainan as soon as possible."
This envoy was completely rude, and when the relationship between Lu Bu and Cao Cao eased, Lu Bu immediately said angrily: "The rebels bully people too much!" After saying this, he ordered the envoy to be dragged out and beheaded, and then Han Yin was nailed with a shackle. He sent Chen Deng to Xudu to thank the emperor for the reward, and at the same time asked to bring Han Yin with him to present to Cao Cao.
At that time, the emperor's reward was not enough. What Lu Bu wanted was the position of Xuzhou Mu, so before Chen Deng set off, he wrote a letter asking for confirmation of his identity as Xuzhou Mu.
Cao Cao was very happy to learn that Lu Bu refused to marry Yuan Shu, and immediately beheaded Han Yin in the market.
Although Chen Deng temporarily took refuge with Lu Bu, he still had his own heart. He secretly admonished Cao Cao, saying: "Lü Bu is like a jackal. He is brave but has no plans. He is easy to repeat. You should plot against him as soon as possible."
Cao Cao smiled and said: "I have heard about Lu Bu's wolfish ambitions a long time ago. He is not well-raised. Even you and your son will not intercede on his behalf. I hope you will join me in plotting against him."
Chen Deng said: "That's natural. If the Prime Minister has any thoughts about Xuzhou, I am willing to be the internal agent!"
Cao Cao was very happy and privately presented Chen Deng's father, Chen Gui, with two thousand stones of grain and made Chen Deng the governor of Guangling. Chen Deng declined decisively. Cao Cao thought that Chen Deng had other ideas, so he said: "I will leave the matters in the east to you."
Chen Deng nodded quickly, agreeing to Cao Cao's request, and then left, returning to Xuzhou.
After Yu Yi returned from Wancheng, Liu Bei and others were waiting for him near the city gate. Zhang Fei looked at Yu Yi and said, "Where are you going, fourth brother?"
Yu Yi said: "I just walked around, nothing!"
Liu Bei's face looked bad here. Yu Yi knew that he must know something and wanted to find an excuse to leave, but he was stopped and said: "I heard that you went to Wancheng!"
Yu Yi turned around and said with a smile: "Yes, I heard that Zhang Xiu was preparing to attack Xudu, so I went to persuade them to surrender. It actually went well. However, Zhang Xiu changed his mind after surrendering, and the prime minister was not prepared. During the critical period, , I rescued the Prime Minister, how about it, it’s awesome!”
