Huang Gai broke the news of Huang Shot, Zhao Yan, and Juntun Huarong, Zhou Yu and Xu Sheng all knew it. At the same time, Cao Ren, who was outside Jingling City, also began to set camp.

At the head of the city, Xu Sheng and Pan Zhang stood side by side, looking at Cao Jun, who was busy under the city. Xu Sheng said: "The public raid on Huarong is really like a divine soldier descending from the sky. At this time, even Cao Ren couldn't sit still, and was in a hurry to go back to Jiangling. ”

Pan Zhang smiled and said, "If he doesn't go back, what should he do if he leads the army to fight Jiangling?" Yu Ban attacked Wuling at the beginning, and set up a water village at the mouth of the river to stop our army. It's so majestic, how is it now, isn't it still being played with by the public? ”

Xu Sheng also had a smile on his face: "Cao Ren went back this time, there is a good show in Jiangling City." ”

Pan Zhang took down his chin and went to Cao Ying outside the city, and said, "Wen Xiang, after Cao Ren leaves, do you and I want to go out of the city and have a good discussion with Li Tong." The words are full of bad intentions.

Xu Sheng thought about it, but said, "Let's see." Cao Ren returned to Jiangling, and it was impossible not to leave behind. Li Tong is not a stupid person, maybe he will wait for us to beat him. "Xu Sheng has suffered a loss, and he already has a little understanding of Cao Jun's cunning.

Cao Ren hurried all the way back to Gangneung, first sent a letter, reprimanded Yu Ban, and then asked him to go to the shogunate to explain why Huang Gai slipped away under his nose.

Then in the city, he summoned Huang Shot and Zhao Yan to see him.

Nanjun heard that Huarong was shot under the city and Zhao Yan was defeated, and the people were shocked. All of a sudden, the big families fled, and the prices in Gangneung City soared, while the farms and shops plummeted. Because there are a large number of people who want to sell. This situation did not improve until Cao Ren led the army back to Jiangling. Rao is like this, and the business of Gangneung City has also suffered a huge blow. The market is shrinking and there is a shortage of goods. Cao Ren couldn't help but have a headache.

However, before that, we have to solve the matter of Huang Jie and Zhao Yan first. In order to show justice, Cao Ren summoned all the major clans of Jingzhou and his subordinate civil and military forces to attend the hearing.

Huang Jie was an important member of Jingzhou's subordinates and the contemporary patriarch of the Jiangxia Huang clan. Cao Ren had 10,000 reasons to want to kill him, but he couldn't deal with it rashly. Especially at this delicate juncture.

On the battlefield of Huang Shot, he suddenly retreated, threw Zhao Yan to Huang Gai alone, and led his troops to flee back to Jiangling. Fortunately, Zhao Yan had a big life and escaped back. Otherwise, Zhao Yan was afraid that he would really be killed by him.

After coming back, Huang Jie and Zhao Yan had their own opinions, and the two almost quarreled. Huang Yan dislikes Zhao Yan for being pedantic, and Zhao Yan thinks Huang Yan is shameless. The two of them look at each other and hate each other, and they only feel that each other is the kind of person with an ugly face.

The civil and military forces left behind in Jiangling couldn't do anything about these two people. Fortunately, at this critical moment, Cao Ren returned. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

After Cao Ren returned, he immediately held a meeting and questioned Huang Jie: "Huang Jie, fleeing from the battle, are you guilty?" ”

When Huang Jian saw Cao Ren, his heart was a little empty, but he still threw out his opinion confidently: "General, the junior general knows his mistakes, but he doesn't admit his guilt." When it was, Zhao Boran and I were ordered to attack Huarong together, and it didn't go down for days, when Mingjin withdrew his troops and the veterans of the division were tired, the Huang Gai suddenly killed. Where is our army against its opponents? In order to avoid the loss of troops and horses, I proposed to Zhao Boran to retreat first to avoid the enemy's sharpness. And then wait for the next day to fight again. Who would have thought that Zhao Boran insisted on fighting to the death, wouldn't this be a child's play with the lives of my Cao soldiers?

When I couldn't persuade me, I ordered the three armies to retreat. Who would have thought that Zhao Boran hated me because of this, thinking that I wanted to put him to death and not save him. I have a heart only for Cao Jun, and I also ask the general to learn from it. After saying that, he bowed his head and bowed.

Zhao Yan listened to it on the side, trembling with anger, and when Huang Jie's words fell, he jumped out, pointed at Huang Jie's nose and scolded: "I have never seen such a brazen person!" ”

Then he bowed his hand to Cao Ren and said, "General, I suddenly encountered the enemy army at that time. The three armies were in chaos. I wanted to fight to the death with the enemy, so I sent Huang Jian to protect the Chinese army, who had thought that we would go into battle, Huang Jian did not say a word, and led his troops to retreat. His actions directly led to the chaos of our army's position and the complete collapse of the defense line. Countless sons and daughters were buried at the hands of the enemy. His crimes should be beheaded, and the three armies should be sent to set an example. Otherwise, from now on, the generals of our Cao army will retreat when they meet a strong enemy, how can it be good? ”

Cao Ren listened, although he had known before, but at this time he still couldn't help but be angry in his heart. He didn't care what reason Zhao Yan and Huang Jie had to fight and retreat. As long as you flee without a fight on the battlefield of yellow shooting, this is a most unforgivable crime. Just like Zhao Yan said, if you don't shoot yellow in this way, if you encounter an enemy army that can't be defeated in the future, Cao Jun will run away, what kind of battle is this? When you meet on a narrow road, the brave wins, and you don't dare to show your knife when you encounter the enemy, and you still want to fight for Jingzhou and the world? Dream on.

Suppressing the anger in his chest, Cao Ren looked at the group of people below: "What do you think?" "Interrogating pornography in public is what Cao Ren meant. First, I want to show justice. The second is to use yellow shooting to test the attitude of Jingzhou Zhuhaoqiang. Look at them in this matter, how to choose?

Is it to protect each other, or to choose loyalty? Cao Ren's eyes narrowed. Nanyang and Nanjun have been in hand for several years. But the scholars and doctors in Jingzhou don't seem to have put themselves in the right position until now. Give you one last chance to be decent. If you can't satisfy me, hehe, then don't blame me for being ruthless.

A few people heard Cao Ren's coldness. There are also people who feel that they can't kill Huang Shot. Huang Shot is the representative of the Jiangxia Huang family. There are not many people in Jingzhou who can know the soldiers. Now that Cai Mao is gone, he will kill Huang Shot again. Will they still have a part in speaking in the future?

Moreover, many people feel that yellow shooting has not done anything wrong, and when facing an invincible threat, self-preservation is of course the first choice. Do you have to die on the battlefield to be your loyal servant of the Cao clan? How can there be such a reason!

So someone came out to speak: "General, although General Huang escaped from the battle, his original intention is to preserve the strength of our army. Therefore, it is not advisable to talk about death. can take away his knighthood and be dismissed as a concubine. Or let them make meritorious contributions. ”

With one person at the beginning, the latter began to echo. Anyway, someone is thundering in front, everyone says a few fair words, can they still hit the board on themselves? There is no blame for the sin.

Cao Ren looked at the piece below that was maintained for yellow shots. I don't laugh in my heart. He nodded, good. So he looked at Kuai Yue again: "Xeno, what do you think?" ”

After the Kuai brothers voted for Cao, they felt very sorry for Liu Biao, and they felt very guilty. Kuai Liang had died at this time. Only Kuai Yue remains. However, Kuai Yue is usually in Jingzhou, and he is also cautious and lives like a little transparent.

Seeing Cao Ren's roll call, Kuai Yue sighed in his heart, but he still couldn't hide, so he came out and said: "General, Huang Shot escaped from the battle, and he should be a marching method." ”
