In order to prevent his whereabouts from being revealed, Cao Cao traveled through mountains and rivers along the way.

Make roads when encountering mountains and build bridges when encountering water.

The journey to Yizhou can only be described as 'difficult'.

At this time, Cao Cao got off his horse.

Soon, some soldiers brought a kettle and poured water for Cao Cao to drink.

"The whole army rests."

Cao Cao issued an order to rest the entire army.

Now there are less than 3,000 soldiers and horses under Cao Cao's command.

People are constantly fleeing.

It is understandable if you think about it. After all, Cao Cao is now in a state of despair, and his future is unknown.

Moreover, , Cao Jun is not a moth thief.

In the past, the heads of moth robbers were very 'valuable', and you could get a reward if you cut them off.

Cao Jun was different. He took off his armor, threw away his weapons, and then he could return to his hometown and live the life of a farmer.

It was better than sleeping in the open air along the way. , come here to be comfortable and happy

"Lord, I've captured him."

At this time, Xu Chu came over.

There were deserters again last night, and a whole group escaped.

A hundred people.

However, these deserters were discovered by the night watchmen, and they chased for sixty or seventy miles before they captured more than sixty people.

Cao Cao Eating wheat cakes, he said calmly:"Kill him"

"Here."Xu Chu turned and left.

After a while, the more than sixty deserters who were captured were beheaded in public.

Cao Cao had long been accustomed to deserters.

If it were other princes, if they encountered such a desperate situation, they would have been distraught. Disheartened.

But Cao Cao was different. He believed that as long as he was alive, there would be hope.

What's more, there were many strong generals and counselors around him.

A comeback might be unknown.

At this time, two soldiers captured a The old woodcutter with white hair.

When the old woodcutter saw Cao Jun, he was trembling with fear.

"Dad, there is no need to be afraid."He walked over, took some five baht money, handed it to the old woodcutter, and said,"Have you ever been to the county town recently? The old woodcutter accepted the five baht money and then nodded.

Cao Cao asked again:"Has my father heard about the war in Yanzhou?" The old woodcutter replied:"

I went to the county town to sell firewood the day before yesterday. I heard that Yanzhou and Xuzhou have been occupied by the Zhou army.""

When Xun Yu, Xun You and others heard this, they all showed expressions of disbelief.

This is too fast!

Cao Cao also wanted to ask about the specific situation, but the old woodcutter didn't know anything clearer.

Then, Cao Cao asked the old woodcutter to leave.

Cao Cao's soldiers took the old woodcutter to the mountainside, and then killed the old woodcutter.

In order not to reveal his whereabouts, Cao Cao directly silenced any strangers he met on the road.

However, a The life and death of the old woodcutter is not important.

What really matters to Cao Cao and others is Liu Biao and Yuan Shu. How could Liu Biao and Yuan Shu lose so quickly?

Didn't Yuan Shu also mobilize more than 100,000 troops and horses?

Liu Biao's army, even on the battlefield, was no match for Zhou Cheng.

But it should be no problem to defend the city.

The two of them were each other's horns and resisted the Zhou army for a year and a half.

To say the least, even if Yanzhou could not be defended, how could it still be defended? Don’t you want to live in Xuzhou?

The city of Xuzhou is a strong city.

With plenty of food and grass, it is enough to defend Xuzhou. And Zhou Cheng doesn’t have that much food and grass, so he continues to waste it in Xuzhou.

But for all the doubts and incomprehensions, there is only one order. The answer is hard to change.

Yanzhou and Xuzhou fell one after another.

Zhou Cheng's army has advanced to Xuzhou.

If Zhou Cheng can gain a foothold in Xuzhou and Yanzhou, he can use Xuzhou as a springboard to conquer Yangzhou, Yuzhou, Jingzhou, and Jiaozhou.

When the time comes, how can Yizhou and Jiangdong be the only ones left to compete with Zhou Cheng?

Thinking of this,

Cao Cao felt a sharp pain in his head, and then he fainted to the ground.

……

When Zhou Cheng returned to Zhenliaocheng, it was already July.

Nowadays, the market in Zhenliaocheng is becoming more and more lively.

Fresh vegetables, newly slaughtered chickens, ducks, pigs, cattle, sheep, even dog meat, and big fish shipped from the North Sea.

In addition, in the market, you can often see Rouran women and Xianbei women wearing Hanfu, but their appearance is obviously different from that of the Han people.

These Rouran women and Xianbei women were originally prisoners, but were later rewarded to meritorious soldiers.

Now they have integrated into it and use proficient Chinese to buy the ingredients needed for their husbands at home.

And in the crowd, a middle-aged man wearing a cloth robe, with an obviously extraordinary figure and appearance, was also queuing up, waiting to buy fresh beef bones.

The middle-aged man named Tian Yu once followed Liu Bei and later Gongsun Zan.

Historically, Liu Bei defected to Gongsun Zan. Tian Yu was still young at the time, so he relied on Liu Bei, and Liu Bei valued him very much. After Liu Bei was appointed as the governor of Yuzhou, Tian Yu asked to return to his hometown on the grounds of his mother's old age. Liu Bei cried goodbye to him and said,"I just wish I couldn't build a great cause with you."

After Gongsun Zan was killed by Zhou Cheng, Xian Yufu and others People once recruited Tian Yu.

However, Tian Yu had seen the bravery of the Zhou army and knew that Xian Yufu and others were just trying in vain and did not follow them.

However, Tian Yu simply kept his name anonymous and lived and worked in the military camp.

He is now thirty years old and has a good wife and young son at home. Now he works every day and has enough food. Moreover, the village chief knows that he is a capable person and takes good care of his family. _Feilu reminds you: three things about reading - close
