But isn't it, Liu Bei couldn't he not smile bitterly in his heart at this time, and said in his heart that this is the final result of having no power and no strength, there is no right at all, this is not the case for you directly, you see, isn't this the case with his Sun Bofu.

What else can Liu Bei say about this, he can just smile, and then echo Sun Ce, and said to Cao Cao: "Yes, Cao Sikong, General Sun's words are exactly what Bei Zhi thinks, and that's it at this time!" ”

Cao Cao smiled with satisfaction when he heard this, and then said to Sun Ce and Liu Bei: "So if that's the case, now is it a matter of no delay, I don't know what the two of you think?" ”

Sun Ce said: "So good, very good! ”

Liu Bei didn't dare to say anything else, so he could only echo Sun Ce. So after the court finished eating, the three of them left the Taishou Mansion and went to order troops to change their defenses.

Cao Cao ordered people to gather his Yanzhou army in Linyuan City, and then withdraw from Linyuan City, and Sun Ce and Liu Bei naturally wanted to go out of the city and let their soldiers come to change their defenses.

However, according to the results of the previous discussion between Sun Ce and Liu Bei, the Linyuan City of Wuling belonged to Liu Bei, so in the end, of course, Liu Beijun's soldiers took over, as for Sun Ce, he went out of the city with Liu Bei, and he didn't care about the rest. As for going out of the city with Liu Bei, it was just a stop, and he happened to go back to his own camp to have a look.

The speed at which Cao Cao's subordinates gathered his soldiers could be said to be really fast. Or more accurately. They are up and down the Yanzhou army, but they really don't want to stay in Wuling anymore, after all, the problem of retreat is not solved. They don't have much else to think about either. So knowing that Sun Ce and Liu Bei had come to Linyuan, and that his lord had summoned everyone, everyone understood that this was going to leave Wuling and go north to Xiangyang, so that speed was definitely not fast. Almost no one wants to stay here anymore.

Anyway, there is no way out, and it is really not reassuring. For example, at this time, can the speed of everyone slow down, who doesn't want to get to Xiangyang early, but also feel at ease as soon as possible-

And all the people were assembled. Cao Cao gave orders to his subordinates. All withdrew from Linyuan, and finally withdrew from Wuling and went north to Xiangyang. As soon as I heard my lord's words, everyone liked Yan Kai, can it not be so, the long-standing wish is finally going to come true, so their mood. It was really pleasant, happy, and exciting.

After the Yanzhou sergeant heard the news that his general said. They are all jubilant, and their morale has never been improved, but today it has improved a lot. A few days ago, most of the soldiers of the Yanzhou Army were relatively decadent, but now that they look at it, although they will not be completely new all at once, it is true that compared with before, they are two spiritual outlooks. Even fools can see it, let alone Cao Cao and them.

Sure enough, this news can make your own soldiers change so much, which shows that these things are indeed very subtle. At least Cao Cao and the others have reason to believe that if those decadent Yanzhou soldiers before met the Sun and Liu coalition forces and fought a battle, their side would be defeated. But now, at least their own side will definitely not take advantage of it, and if the Sun-Liu coalition army fights with their own side at this time, it is impossible for them not to bleed, and they may all have to break their muscles and bones.

Cao Cao and his subordinates saw the appearance of their soldiers at this time, and they can be said to be relatively satisfied.

The heart said, this is the soldier of my Yanzhou army, how can I be a good man of the Yanzhou army, how can I be so decadent like before?

With Cao Cao's order, everyone opened the city gate and withdrew from Linyuan City. To be honest, according to common sense, retreating from a city, no matter how you say it, the soldiers will not be in a very good mood. After all, isn't it a shame to have no choice but to leave a captured city?

But now, almost everyone in Yanzhou does not have such an idea, on the contrary, they are very relaxed, very happy, and hope so. If people who don't know the inside story know their mood at this moment, they still think that they have been stimulated by something, so I have to say that this is indeed the same, which is a bit interesting.

It didn't take long for Cao Cao to take all his soldiers in the city, including his subordinates, to withdraw from Linyuan and return to the camp of his Yanzhou army outside Linyuan.

As for the handover with Liu Bei, this Cao Cao doesn't have to worry about anything, does it mean that he has to go to the whole handover ceremony? This thing is impossible at all, don't look at Cao Cao is not too many ideas, but he is leaving Wuling, if he doesn't feel regret at all, he doesn't feel ashamed, it's all fake.

Maybe for the ordinary soldiers of the Yanzhou Army, they really don't have too many ideas. After all, for them now, this is already the case, at this time, it has fallen to such a point, and if they can go north and return to Xiangyang, they will already be victorious.

But for Cao Cao, as well as those generals of the Yanzhou Army. Yes, of course, they are also much more relaxed, and they are also happy and excited, but they also know that this is their own shame. Because he compromised with his Sun Bofu and Liu Xuande, especially Liu Xuande, he had a deep grudge against himself. And now he is not only bowing his head like Sun Bofu, but also bowing his head to that enemy, so Cao Cao and the generals of the Yanzhou army, can he not feel ashamed?

But even then, they had no other way. How else to go to Xiangyang, is it really impossible to break the net of fish death?

If that's the case, maybe you can withdraw to Nanyang. But at that time, it was time to withdraw to Nanyang, and I didn't know how many casualties my side would have. So in the end, he chose to compromise and endure for a while, but everyone was unwilling, knowing that if there was a chance in the future, they would definitely settle these accounts with Sun Ce and Liu Xuande. After all, these people are not generous people, and it is impossible for them not to hold grudges.

Cao Cao's side. He first retreated to Linyuan with his own people, and then returned to the camp of his Yanzhou army. There are all Sun Ce and Liu Bei over there, and of course they have returned to the camp of their own Sun and Liu coalition forces at this time, and after Sun Ce returned to the camp. At this time, he was still asking about the situation in the camp. As for Liu Bei, he was anxious about his own side and was ready to take over Linyuan City today. After all, after the negotiation between him and Sun Ce, Linyuan City belonged to him, and this was the result of Xu Shu and Zhou Yu fighting back and forth, and Zhou Yu finally gave in, or it wasn't necessarily what was going on-

But no matter what, anyway, today's Linyuan City is still Liu Bei's. That's right.

So Liu Bei was a soldier, and then took his subordinates. So he went to Linyuan. Of course, he also said hello to Sun Ce, after all, the two of them are allied, and they are also together, it is impossible for him to ignore them.

"General Sun, I'll go first!"

Sun Ce smiled when he heard this, "Duke Xuande will please, and Ce will come later!" ”

Don't look at Sun Ce, it's true that he gave Linyuan to Liu Bei, but it doesn't mean that he won't go to Linyuan City. Anyway, it's better to be in the city than in the camp outside the city. It is better to rest in the house of the Taishou Mansion than in the big tent. Even if Sun Ce is willing to be on the battlefield, this is true, but when it comes to enjoyment, of course, it is still comfortable in the city, can he still not know this.

Liu Bei also smiled, "Okay, in this case, we will set up a banquet in Linyuan, and we will wait for General Sun!" ”

When Sun Ce heard this, he hurriedly said: "It's better to find Cao Mengde too!" ”

Liu Bei said: "Of course, but I don't think Cao Mengde will come!" ”

Then the two looked at each other and smiled, and they were all silent-

Liu Bei led people into Linyuan, and Cao Cao had already received a report from Tanma, Sun Ce and Liu Bei's movements.

As soon as he heard it, he understood that the emotional Linyuan was still Liu Bei's. This is quite expected, but Cao Cao also thought about it, that is, Sun Ce would not give the entire Wuling County to Liu Bei for nothing, if this is the case, then he is not Sun Ce Sun Bofu, the little overlord of Jiangdong.

And it didn't take long for the soldier to report: "Report to the lord, there is a messenger from Liu Beijun outside the tent asking to see!" ”

When Cao Cao heard this, he said in his heart that he had just come out of Linyuan City, what did Liu Bei send a messenger to do? Of course, he couldn't be gone, so he said to the soldier, "Let people in!" ”

"No!"

It should be said that after just a few breaths, the people sent by Liu Bei entered Cao Cao's Chinese army tent, and after giving Cao Cao a salute, he hurriedly said: "On the order of my lord, I came to invite Cao Sikong to the banquet!" ”――

When Cao Cao heard this, he went to the banquet? As the saying goes, "there is no good wine, there is no good banquet", this Liu Bei came to invite himself to the banquet, there must be no good thing. But it won't be a Hongmen banquet, it's just that Sun Bofu and Liu Xuande still want to see their own jokes.

Isn't it, he still occupied Wuling before, but now, people are bloodless, and they directly change hands to Wuling. So they invited themselves to the feast, just to laugh at themselves. Can you go by yourself, don't go, don't go.

However, Cao Cao thought about it again, if he didn't go, it would be small not to give face to the two of them, but would they feel that they were afraid of his Sun and Liu alliances? Doesn't this weaken your own prestige, when did your own side become so cowardly that people look down on it?

But it's gone. That's what they wanted, so I still can't go.

So I heard Cao Cao say to the visitor: "Go back and tell sù Xuande, this Sikong is busy with mundane affairs today." But I can't go there in person! ”――

And as soon as the envoy heard Cao Cao say this, he shirked it like this, what else could he say.

He's just a messenger, and he doesn't dare to say anything more, so he can only report to his lord truthfully. As for what his lord thinks, that's his business. If Cao Cao doesn't go, he can't force others to go. Don't say whether you have that ability, even if you really go to persecute others, I guess I haven't said anything. You may be in a different place right away.

For Cao Cao's ruthlessness, people in the world know quite a lot, so if you want to say that there are really people who are not afraid of Cao Cao at all, there are definitely a few. And this messenger. Obviously not part of this.

"So, then I'll leave here!"

Cao Cao nodded, but then didn't say much. It's just that the person sent by Liu Bei to spread the word, saying that he was a messenger, put gold on his face, in fact, at best, he was just a clever pawn, so how could Cao Cao pay attention to it?

Although Cao Cao rejected Liu Bei. also rejected Sun Ce, but he didn't regret it at all. If you want to say that you are going to a banquet or something at this time. It's really not in line with his character. Now all he thinks about is waiting for tomorrow, saying goodbye to himself, Sun Ce and Liu Bei, and then going north to Xiangyang immediately, which is the most important thing now. As for the rest, does it matter if this one comes in?

Liu Bei in Linyuan City, at this time, heard the soldiers sent to the Yanzhou army camp, and came back to report, saying that Cao Cao said that he was busy with mundane affairs today, but he couldn't come.

Liu Bei snorted coldly, then waved his hand at the soldier, and the soldier went down. At this time, I heard someone outside the door laughing: "Xuande Gong, why is this so?" ”

When the person who came said the last word, he had already appeared in the house, and it was none other than Sun Ce and Sun Bofu!

Liu Bei smiled and said to Sun Ce, "It's not him Cao Mengde!" ”

Then he told Sun Ce what the soldier said to himself, and when Sun Ce heard it, he said: "Everything is expected by you and me, if he Cao Mengde can come, he will not be Cao Mengde!" ”

Liu Bei said at this time: "Who said it wasn't! Okay, General Sun, let's go to the living room, just let everyone drink together! ”――

Sun Ce laughed, "Xuande Gong, just waiting for you!" Those subordinates who want to talk about the strategy, but they can't wait anymore, hahaha! ”

The two looked at each other and laughed, who said it wasn't, not only his Sun Ce's subordinates, but also Liu Bei's here, isn't it actually different.

After a night, on the morning of the second day, Cao Cao said goodbye to Sun Ce and Liu Bei, and prepared to take his men and horses north to Xiangyang. And Sun Ce and Liu Bei must not be rude, so the two of them personally sent Cao Cao away.

Cao Cao felt a little emotional at this time, the day before, he was outside the city of Xiaoling in Wuling and sent away Sun Ce and Liu Bei. But now, it can be regarded as a transfer, it is he, Sun Ce and Liu Bei, who sent themselves away in Linyuan, isn't this exactly the opposite.

Cao Cao didn't say too much about the two of them, so he said directly: "You don't have to send it far, stay and stay, and say goodbye!" ”

Sun Ce and Liu Bei hugged their fists, and then Sun Ce said: "After Cao Sikong solves the matter of Xiangyang, you and I will enter Jiangxia together, Sikong should not forget it!" ”――

Cao Cao laughed, "A gentleman's word!" ”

Liu Bei said: "It's hard to chase a horse!" ”

After speaking, the three of them all laughed, and then Cao Cao bowed his hand to the two, "Two, let's meet again!" ”

After speaking, he waved his hand to his subordinates, "Go!" ”

The Yanzhou army withdrew from Wuling and went north to Xiangyang.

And Sun Ce and Liu Bei looked at the figure of Cao Cao and his Yanzhou army who were gradually disappearing, and at this time Liu Bei said: "I don't know when I will see Cao Mengde again?" I hope I can do my best! ”

Sun Ce said to him: "It won't be too far, after all, there is only one Xiangyang left in the Yanzhou Army now, so no matter how you say it, he Cao Mengde won't be in a hurry, right?" ”

After speaking, Sun Ce also smiled, while Liu Bei squinted, and then nodded. After that, the two of them went back with everyone.

Cao Cao led his troops to retreat, and after walking away, he could no longer see Linyuan City. At this time, Xu Chu, who was not far from him, said: "Lord, let's just leave like this?" ”

Cao Cao smiled, "Haha! Today, his grandson Fu Liu Xuande is like this, and our army will have something to repay him in the future! ”

When everyone heard it, they all knew what their lord meant, especially Xu Chu, who held it tightly, there is no chance now, but later, there will always be opportunities. (To be continued......)
