Diao Chan saw that Yu Yi seemed to be lost in thought, and continued to ask: "Are you planning to let me go to Pingyang to assassinate the prefect again?" Yu Yi came back to his senses, shook his head suddenly, and said, "How could that be? Recently? Isn’t it that Sikong Xuan is leaving? I suspect that the letter he received from home is fake. I have sent Ye Huatong to investigate. It just so happens that you can go too and strengthen your strength."
Diao Chan nodded and left gently.
Yu Yi sent Diao Chan away and went to visit Zou, and found that she was lying on the bed with a bad look on her face. She quickly stepped forward and held Zou's right hand.
Zou felt the warmth in the palm of her hand, opened her eyes, and saw Yu Yi sitting next to her. She was very moved, and quickly sat up, leaned on the bed, and asked, "Husband, why are you here?"
Yuyi smiled and said, "Why can't I come?"
Zou smiled sheepishly and said, "Yes, I'm very happy that your husband can come to see me!"
This was because Yu Yi was a little embarrassed. After Zou became pregnant, he rarely visited her because of her complicated affairs. With a feeling of guilt, Yu Yi asked: "Madam, why do you look so ugly? I'll go Please doctor!" After saying that, he was about to turn around and leave.
Zou persuaded Yu Yi and said: "I've seen it all, I just caught some wind and cold, it's not a problem!"
Yu Yi looked at Zou's face and said, "You look so haggard, it makes me feel very sad!"
Ms. Zou stepped forward and hugged Yu Yi, saying, "My husband's concern is better than anything else!"
At this time, there was a noise outside the door. Yu Yi looked back and found that it was the maid who had boiled the medicine and was standing there. Because she saw Zou and Yu Yi hugging, she did not dare to come forward to disturb them.
Yu Yi smiled and called the maid in front of him, took the medicine bowl, told the maid to leave, and personally gave Zou the medicine. Zou was even more moved. She seemed to want time to stay at this moment forever.
In Jingzhou, Cao Cao's army was defeated. Cao Cao fled like a lost dog and finally left the encirclement of Jiangdong temporarily.
The remaining troops came to a place. Cao Cao saw that the terrain was somewhat special, so he asked, "Where is this place?"
He replied: "This is west of Wulin and north of Yidu."
Cao Cao looked forward and found dense trees and steep mountains and rivers. He was sitting on his horse looking up to the sky and laughing.
Everyone was a little confused and asked, "Why did the Prime Minister laugh suddenly?"
Cao Cao replied: "What I am laughing at is nothing else. I am laughing at Zhou Yu's lack of strategy, and Zhuge Liang's lack of strategy. If I come to use troops, I will definitely ambush an army in such a good place. So what should the fleeing soldiers do? What?" As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately fulfilled his promise. He only heard the sound of drums from both sides, and there were fires all around. Cao Cao was so frightened that he almost fell off his horse.
Soon a troop came out, and the general at the head shouted: "I am Changshan Zhao Zilong. I have been waiting for you here for a long time under the orders of the military advisor!"
Cao Cao quickly asked Xu Huang and Zhang He to attack together to fight Zhao Yun, while he himself broke out despite the fireworks. Fortunately, Zhao Yun did not seem to chase them to death, but only captured their flags. Only then did Cao Cao have the opportunity to leave. .
The sky became brighter, dark clouds shrouded the earth, and the southeast wind still did not stop. Suddenly, it rained heavily, soaking all the armor. Cao Cao could only walk forward in the rain with the sergeants. All the soldiers walking together were hungry. mean.
Naturally, this situation was not suitable for traveling. Cao Cao saw this and ordered his soldiers to grab some food from the surrounding villages, and then went to find some things to make a fire. When he was about to cook, suddenly someone came from behind. Regarding the troops, Cao Cao looked very flustered. When the troops approached, he realized that Li Dian and Xu Chu were protecting a large number of counselors. Cao Cao was very happy and asked the soldiers to move forward together. When they arrived at a place, he asked: "What's the position in front?"
Soldiers were sent to find out the situation and reported back: "There are two roads ahead, one is the main road in South Yiling, and the other is the mountain road in North Yiling."
Cao Cao continued to ask: "Which of the two roads is closer to Jiangling in Nanjun?"
The sergeant replied: "It is most convenient to go south to Yiling and pass through Hulukou."
So Cao Cao ordered them to advance in the direction of South Yiling, and finally reached Hulukou. The army was very hungry. Many soldiers had no strength and could not keep up. The horses also had no strength and could not walk. Many people even fell directly to the ground. on the road.
Cao Cao had no choice but to let the troops rest for a while in front, take off the pot from the horse, put the food plundered in the village into the pot, lit fireworks, and cooked and ate in a slightly dry place on the side of the mountain. The horses are directly slaughtered and their meat is eaten.
The soldiers all took off their clothes and dried them in the wind. They put their horses aside and let them eat some weeds.
Cao Cao sat under the big tree and suddenly started to look up to the sky and laugh again.
Everyone asked: "Just now, the Prime Minister laughed at Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang for not having any strategy, and immediately led Zhao Yun to attack in a sneak attack, killing many troops. Now I don't know why, but he is laughing again?"
Cao Cao replied: "I laugh at Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang as they are still too young, and their strategies are still insufficient. If I were to use the army, I would definitely ambush a group of troops here to wait for work. In this way, even if we could escape with our lives, we would not be able to survive." It was inevitable that I would be seriously injured. I waited for so long and still couldn’t see this team, so I just burst out laughing.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he was slapped in the face again, and it was fulfilled immediately. The front and rear troops shouted together. Cao Cao was very surprised, threw away his clothes, and immediately mounted his horse. Many soldiers had not had time to bring their horses to them and put on their clothes. . All I saw were fireworks on all sides, and the team of people appeared at the mountain pass, lined up in a row. The leader was Zhang Yide from Yan. He held a Zhangba snake spear horizontally in his hand and shouted: "Thief Cao! Where are you going!"
Zhang Fei scared Xia Houjie to death in Changbanqiao. The remaining power was still there, and everyone was frightened when they saw Zhang Fei.
Xu Chu had no choice but to ride a horse without a seat to fight Zhang Fei. Zhang Liao and Xu Huang also rode horses to attack Zhang Fei together, and the horses on both sides fought in a melee.
Cao Cao took advantage of the chaos and ran all the way. After seeing Cao Cao leaving the encirclement, the generals also tried their best to escape.
Zhang Fei pursued him fiercely from behind, but Cao Cao did not dare to look back. He just ran all the way. He felt that the pursuers were getting further and further away. Then he looked back and found that the soldiers around him were more or less injured.
Just like this, the military advisor in front suddenly came back and reported: "There are two roads ahead. Which one do you need to take?"
Cao Cao asked: "Which one is closer?"
He replied: "The main road will be slightly flatter, but it is more than fifty miles away. The small road is heading towards Huarong Road, which is more than fifty miles closer. However, the road is narrow and the potholes are difficult to navigate."
