"It's a good trick for the golden cicada to get out of the shell, and it actually hides the old man, Kong Ming and Xu Shu are really Wang Zuozhicai, and now they follow the big-eared thief, like a beautiful jade falling into the quagmire, the old man is bound to capture the two alive and then take them for his own use!"

Knowing that he was deceived, Cao Cao was extremely angry, hundreds of thousands of troops poured out of the nest, and fought under Laojun Peak for a long time, but was played by others as monkeys.

And then there was a love for talents, Xu Shu was proficient in Tao strategy, using soldiers like a god, Kong Ming was erudite and unfathomable, all of them were first-class military and political talents, but they assisted Liu Bei, it was a pity!

If you can capture the two alive, influence their hearts with kindness, and then collect them for your own use, not only can you get two great talents to make up for the regret of Guo Jia's fall, but you can also use them to balance Xiao Yi, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone!

Within seven days, the sword soldiers were not moved, it was just a strategy by Liu Beijun, deliberately delaying time, Cao Cao wanted to plan the plan, but unfortunately the plan was not as deep as the family, so he suffered a dumb loss!

It turned out that on the day the messenger was sent, Liu Bei's tens of thousands of horses and horses all returned to Wancheng, leaving only an air force battalion to confuse Cao Jun's sight.

If Cao Cao saw through it in time and led the army to chase after him, he would be able to take advantage of his strength advantage and completely annihilate Liu Bei's men and horses in the wild, but unfortunately the traitorous male was suspicious by nature and was restrained by a false formation, losing a great opportunity!

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Liu Bei's tens of thousands of horses, escorting the prisoners, carrying the booty, swaggered back to Wancheng, and by the way, he did other things, and did not forget to leave a note, and he was angry with the traitor!

However, there is one thing that the traitor doesn't know, the previous plans were all the strategies of Xu Shu alone, as for the unfathomable Kong Ming, he was already sitting on a flat boat, with a few servants, and sent Jiangdong to find reinforcements!

"Order all the troops to pull out the camp and advance to the south, and we must break through Wancheng and cut off the head of the big-eared thief, so as to relieve the hatred in the old man's heart!"

It's not too late to make amends, Cao Cao urged an army of 200,000, and the soldiers pointed directly at Wancheng, even if they were fighting a mountain of bones and a river of blood, they would also have a bad breath in their chests!

"Capture Liu Bei alive, a thousand cuts! --Capture Liu Bei alive, a thousand cuts! ”

…………………………

As soon as the order fell, more than 200,000 Cao troops marched south, divided into several teams, held high swords and guns, and went straight to Wancheng...... But I didn't go far before I felt wrong!

I saw that the villages on both sides of the road - the houses were destroyed, the wells were filled, the livestock and grain were all gone, and there was no half of the people.

It turned out that in seven days, Liu Beijun moved the surrounding people and all kinds of materials to Wancheng, a grain of rice, a chicken, and a foot of silk thread...... didn't leave Cao Jun behind, and even the freshly tasseled rice in the field was burned clean with a fire!

It stands to reason that everyone has a plot of family love, and no one wants to leave their hometown, but Liu Beijun's evacuation of the surrounding people was surprisingly smooth, thanks to Cao Cao...... The secret order to slaughter the city!

Cao Cao originally wanted to slaughter Wancheng and pay tribute to his eldest son who fell here, but he didn't want the secret order to fall into the hands of Liu Bei, and it was posted at the gate of Wancheng, allowing the people to watch and recite, which became a political weapon!

And one of the functions of the rumors is to exaggerate the matter infinitely, it was originally to slaughter Wancheng, but as soon as it spreads ten, ten or hundred, it becomes Cao Agui's extremely vicious and wants to kill the people of Nanyang County!

Although the people love their families, they are even more desperate for their lives, so they are naturally willing to follow Liu Beijun and retreat to Wancheng together, and out of hatred for Cao Jun, they would rather destroy their homes and burn all the crops in the fields than leave them to the enemies behind!

What's even more terrifying is that the rumors are still expanding, and it is estimated that it will not be long before the people of the nine counties of Jingzhou will be killed.

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Lack of food, lack of water, and no guide to guide the way, the marching speed was naturally slow, and the Cao soldiers and horses walked for two days before they came to Wancheng City, but they were taken aback again!

I saw Wancheng - the four gates were closed, the suspension bridge was hanging high, there were no flags on the city wall, there was no figure, and there was no reaction, as if it was an empty city!

But if I feel it carefully, I vaguely heard the sound of drums and trumpets, and it seems that there are countless soldiers and horses ambushed in Wancheng, just waiting for Cao Jun to take the bait!

"Presumably, it is Kong Ming and Xu Shu's trick again, using an empty city to make a mystery, and our army will kill it directly!"

"Even if there is an ambush, we have an army of 200,000 people, even if people step on horses, we can raze Wancheng to the ground!"

With the lesson of Lao Junfeng, the generals of Cao Ying have fought one after another, and they have been conquering the world for more than ten years and have experienced countless battles.

Wancheng is the Nanyang County Governance Office - the transportation is developed, the people's livelihood is rich, and there are many large merchants.

"There are clouds in the art of war: the virtual is real, the real is virtual, the virtual is real, the true is difficult to distinguish, Lao Junfeng is an empty camp, Wancheng is not necessarily an empty city, if there is really an ambush in the city, will our army not throw themselves into the net?

What's more, the army has traveled a long distance, and the soldiers are quite tired, if they forcibly attack the city at this time, they will lose their chances of winning three points before fighting, or set up camp and gain a firm foothold, and then it is not too late to engage the enemy army! ”

After several battles, Cao Cao became more and more suspicious, for fear of falling into the trap again and making the world laugh off his big teeth, so he ordered his men and horses to set up camp outside the city first, and adopt a steady and steady approach!

The prime minister's military order was difficult to disobey, and the army had to retreat more than ten miles, choosing a place near the mountains and rivers - building barriers, digging trenches, and burying pots to make rice...... He also cut down the surrounding trees, and ordered the craftsmen of the army to build ladders and nest carts for the siege of the city in the coming day!

The soldiers of the Cao army were busy for three days before they could be considered to have gained a firm foothold, and after resting for two days and cultivating enough mental and physical strength, the whole army poured out of the nest and prepared to attack Wancheng!

And in a few days, it was very strange in Wancheng, only the sound of drums and trumpets was heard, and there were no people guarding the city, which also made Cao Jun more and more suspicious, and there was an empty city in front of him!

Even Cao Cao was restless, if he made a mistake in judgment, was frightened by an empty city, and delayed five days of precious time, it would really be disgraced...... Are there any ambushes in the city?

"Boom! -Boom! -Boom! ”

"Kill! -Kill! -Kill! ”

Everything was ready, and the Cao army began to attack, surrounded on all sides, provocative and scolding, and suppressed by a rain of arrows...... Thousands of elite warriors quickly smashed open the city gates, and then swarmed in without encountering any resistance...... Sure enough, it's an empty city again!

The city was empty, and there was no one left, all of them went south with Liu Beijun to take refuge, and when they left, they swept away the grain and livestock in the city, and even buried the wells!

Wancheng is the seat of Nanyang County, and it is also a place where soldiers must fight, Liu Bei can not hesitate to abandon it to the enemy, and he is really a bold person, no wonder he can become a hero in troubled times!

"Hmph...... Ordered the army to go south, continue to pursue Liu Bei, chase to the Lingxiao Palace, chase to the Ghost Gate Pass, and must capture the big-eared thief alive, and only then can the hatred be relieved! ”

The clay man still has three points of fire, not to mention Cao Cao, twice defeated, twice deceived, angry traitor, about to lead 200,000 troops south, continue to chase Liu Bei's team, that knows the order is issued, but the people and horses are not moving!

It turned out that in order to speed up, Cao Jun was all lightly armed, and the heavy car was still behind, and he only brought a few days of rations with him, and he wanted to collect some grain and grass from the people, so as to support it for ten days and half a month!

Unexpectedly, Liu Bei's army was skilled, and he withdrew all the people and grain in advance, and Cao's army was about to run out of food and grass, and how could the soldiers with empty stomachs pursue the enemy?

In desperation, Cao Cao had no choice but to order to concentrate the remaining grain and grass, and hand it over to Xu Huang and Yu Ban, so that they could command 20,000 elite soldiers and continue to pursue Liu Bei in the south.

The brigade stayed in Wancheng, resting and rectifying, waiting for grain and grass, and by the way, holding a military meeting to discuss countermeasures, and now there are more and more difficulties!

"Rich...... Brothers, hurry up and grab it! ”

"Hands are fast, hands are slow...... Whoever grabs it is whoever's is! ”

The people of Wancheng fled, but the houses were not destroyed, and there were a lot of furniture, utensils, and belongings left behind.

The big guy fought in the south and the north, and died thousands of lives, isn't it just to get promoted and make a fortune, even many generals of the unified army have joined the looting team, in order to compete for the mansions of the wealthy families, several groups of Cao Jun also fight, and the fight is bloody!

For this matter, Cao Cao also turned a blind eye, the previous few miscalculations caused a great loss of his prestige, and now let the soldiers loot it, vent the grievances in their chests, and stabilize the morale of the army!
