With blood as a medicine primer, the malaria virus was restrained, and the infected soldiers got better, and the Cao army rejoiced, but after a plague, the losses were extremely heavy: more than ten important ministers died of illness, and more than 20,000 soldiers were lost, and the rest were physically and mentally exhausted and had no fighting spirit!

At this point, it is impossible to continue the eastward crusade, and Cao Ying's grand strategy of unifying the world will be temporarily stopped, and the army will quickly leave the battlefield, and the army will return to the interior of the Central Plains - rest and recuperate, and the best policy is to go through the horses!

However, before retreating, a 'poisonous nail' must be removed, that is the phoenix-Pang Tong, since this person defected to Cao Ying, all he has come up with is a bad idea, which is ten times more harmful to Cao Jun, ten times better than malaria!

Xiao Yi has always been suspicious, Pang Tong has ill intentions, called defecting to Cao Ying, but he is actually an undercover agent of the Liu family, but he does things without leakage, so people can't catch any handles, plus Cao Cao maintains it in every way, so he can't start hoeing!

Now it's different, Huang Gai defrauded and spread malaria, and harmed countless Cao soldiers, this basin of dirty water just poured Pang Tong's body, anyway, he is not innocent, and more importantly, Cao Cao's majestic posture is gone!

Since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Cao Cao took advantage of the time to rise, cut off favorable places, politically coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, and militarily accumulated troops and horses to beg for not to be subordinate, and fought in the south and north for more than ten years, and destroyed Lu Bu, Li Dao, Guo Yan, Yuan Shu, Han Sui, Yuan Shao, and Gongsun Du!

At that time, the traitor was high-spirited, and the soldiers did not surrender, up to the emperor of the Han Dynasty, down to the people of Limin, who was not sincere and fearful, both civil and military were like Xiao Yi, and they had to retreat, put on a posture of submission, and suffered a lot of!

However, since the southern expedition of the army, Cao Cao has become arrogant and domineering, making repeated mistakes in decision-making, political nepotism, and military defeats...... So much so that hundreds of thousands of troops were in danger, and the whole army was almost wiped out!

After this battle, the prestige of the traitorous male will inevitably decline, and if you want to bully the Son of Heaven and suppress hundreds of officials, I am afraid it will not be so easy, but Xiao Yi turned the tide and saved the lives of countless soldiers, but his prestige has risen in a straight line.

It turned out that the Cao family was the main and the Xiao family was supplemented, and the ratio of seven or three open between the two sides was now neck and neck, and it became a five-five open situation, and with the passage of time, the Cao family will be thin, and the Xiao family will rise in the east!

In this case, Xiao Yi can raise his eyebrows, and there is no need to be taboo too much, so he passed down the order: "Arrest Pang Tong, interrogate him with great punishment, and ask him to find out!" ”

"There is no trace of Pang Tong in the Qiqi Da Sima-Zhongjun tent, and it is said that he went to inspect the battalions!"

"Qiqi Da Sima - there is no trace of Pang Tong in each battalion, it is said that he has gone out of the camp to check the water situation!"

"What a cunning phoenix chick, seeing that the situation is not good, the soles of her feet are smeared with oil...... Immediately send out the Rangers to hunt for this person, and kill him if he sees him! ”

At the sound of an order, the rangers rode out in all directions, and within a hundred miles of Caoying: barren mountains, woods, and grassy beaches...... After a careful search, there was no trace of Pang Tong, but it was the spies of Sun and Liu's coalition army, who caught dozens of people!

According to the situation, during Cao Cao's serious illness, Pang Tong had a premonition that something was wrong and secretly escaped from the camp.

However, when searching the camp, a letter was found in the tent where Pang Tong lived, and it was named and presented to Xiao Yi, and the soldiers immediately offered it!

"Pang Shiyuan, a mountain and grass people, wrote to the great Sima Xiao Yi before: since he defected to Cao Ying, thanks to the prime minister's great importance - adding officials to the knighthood, trust is valuable, and the favor of the people and ministers can be described as thick, but the ancient sages have clouds: 'The Tao is different and does not conspire with each other, and the will is not friends with different aspirations', and they dare not abolish the justice of the world because of their personal favor!

The prime minister is treacherous, the imperial uncle is generous, the prime minister is still scheming, and the imperial uncle is benevolent and righteous...... The former is a traitor in troubled times, and the latter is the master of salvation, so at the request of Kong Ming, he will be unified to assist Uncle Liu Huang, in order to calm the troubled times and prosper the world!

Undercover matter, forced by the situation, only the intention of fighting for victory and defeat, and no desire to harm the souls, Jiangdong killed the army with the method of plague, which is a disaster to the country and the people, and the general is also deeply hated, and I hope that the great Sima will deal with it carefully - restrain the plague and save the people!

Tong should persuade Uncle Liu Huang to take the common people in the world as his mind, suspend the battle between swords and soldiers, and restrain the plague, if he has the opportunity to meet Da Sima on the battlefield in the future, he should do his best to do dragon and tiger fighting, even if he is drunk and lying on the battlefield, he can also smile Jiuquan! ”

……………………

Pang Tong's appearance is ugly, but his handwriting is very upright, which shows that he has a bright heart, and the letter tells the reason why he assisted Liu Bei, and the experience of coming to Cao Ying to go undercover!

As for the spread of malaria in Jiangdong, Pang Tong did not know about it in advance, and he was extremely remorseful afterwards, and he would try to persuade Liu Bei not to attack Cao Ying in the near future, so that Xiao Yi had enough time to concentrate on restraining the poison of malaria!

"Pang Tong is far-sighted, deceitful, he is a commander, with him in front of the battle, Kong Ming is behind the scenes, plus Xu Shu, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others assist, Liu Bei will inevitably take advantage of the situation to rise and dominate one side!"

After reading the letter, Xiao Yi sighed, the person who can leave a name in history is really not good to his generation, and at the same time, he secretly decided that the next time they meet on the battlefield, they will definitely send Pang Tong to Huangquan!

However, with Pang Tong's character, he will not take the initiative to attack Cao Jun, nor will he let Cao Jun leave safely, there must be a more powerful strategy, in the dark layout, he must be careful to deal with it!

"The Great Sima of Qiqi - Prime Minister has woken up, and I want to see you immediately!"

"Got it--go back to the big tent of the Chinese army!"

…………………………………………………………

In the Chinese military tent, Cao Cao woke up, leaning on the silk soft couch, although his hands and feet were weak and it was difficult to speak, his eyes were quite smart, and his consciousness was obviously sober!

The important ministers, Lang Zhong, and attendants surrounded and took care of them carefully, for fear that if the condition recurred, it would really frighten people to death, but the current Prime Minister Cao Cheng is very strange to look at:

The former Cao Cao was full of confidence, high spirits, and the charm of raising his hands and feet could infect the people around him, and he was willing to do his best for him, to put it mildly, Cao Cao was an optimus prime, supporting the sky of the Han Dynasty!

The current Cao Cao - the body is thin, the look is haggard, the kind of self-confident charm is gone, his eyes are full of remorse, in one sentence to describe: "What awakens is the body, and what dies is the soul!" ”

It turned out that after the traitor woke up, he immediately asked about the situation in the army, Cheng Yu and Mao Jue 1510, and told Huang Gai about the deception, Pang Tong's undercover agent, and Xiao Yi's cutting blood into medicine to save everyone's lives!

After listening, Cao Cao didn't say a word, but his clenched lips proved that his heart was surging and up and down!

The traitorous male conquered the world, mighty for half his life, swept away all the princes, and won the Central Plains, who in the world did not praise: "Prime Minister Cao Cheng is eloquent and strategic, and he is a hero of the world!" ”

However, since the southern expedition of the army, Cao Cao made mistakes in decision-making, repeatedly made stupid moves, and was deceived by Pang Tong and Huang Gai successively, making the epidemic epidemic in the army, and almost annihilating the whole army.

More importantly, the front-line soldiers were frustrated, the soldiers had no fighting spirit, the rear treasury was empty, the people were exhausted, the vitality of the Cao Ying group was greatly injured, and after the people and horses returned to the Central Plains, I am afraid that within seven or eight years, there will be no more strength to go south!

In other words, the dream of the traitorous man to 'sweep the south of the Yangtze River and dominate the world' was completely shattered, and the goal of more than ten years of struggle and the fruits of countless painstaking efforts were suddenly wiped out!

"The last general will see the Prime Minister - be in good health and live forever!"

The curtain of the big tent was lifted, Xiao Yi strode in, and then pushed the gold mountain, poured the jade pillar, and made a big ceremony to pay homage, the more proud people are, the more they can't get carried away!

Seeing Xiao Yi's figure, Cao Cao's dim eyes finally had a little brilliance, no longer doubt, suspicion, and vigilance, but gratitude, sighing, and doubting!

Cao Cao tried his best, stretched out a thin palm, put it on Xiao Yi's shoulder, and asked the question in his heart: "When the old man is critically ill, why doesn't Xiao Lang replace him and become the first person in the world?" ”

Not only Cao Cao himself, but also the civil and military ministers, who is not puzzled, at that time, in that case, Xiao Yi did nothing, as long as he waited for an hour, he could take over the military and political power and become the first person in the world, why did he give up?

You must know that although Cao Ying failed in the Eastern Crusade, he still has the territory of ten states, tens of millions of people, and hundreds of thousands of tigers and wolves, as long as he has a good rest, he can launch a unified war again, Xiao Yi is Chinese New Year's Eve three years old today, it is the time when the blood is strong, and he will wait for twenty or thirty years!

And Xiao Yi's Wen Tao Wu strategy, compared to Liu Bei and Sun Quan, is only higher than low, coupled with strong comprehensive strength, the result of repeated competition between the three parties, nine times out of ten, the Xiao family wins, and then replaces the Han family and establishes a 'Xiao dynasty!' ’

At that time, Xiao Yisheng was the Son of Heaven and commanded all the people in the world; After his death, he was buried in the emperor's mausoleum, and the temple number can be Taizu, which is on a par with Qin Shi Huang and Han Gaozu, which is what many people dream of, and he gave it up?

"The son-in-law meets his father-in-law - as blessed as the East China Sea, Shoubi Nanshan!"

In the face of everyone's questions, Xiao Yi's answer was very simple, he bowed to worship again, the difference is that he visited the prime minister just now and his father-in-law this time!

Cutting his blood into medicine and saving Cao Cao's life has nothing to do with Jiangshan Sheji, nothing to do with fame and fortune, just because his father Cao Jie is his father-in-law, that's all!

"Good son-in-law! --Good son-in-law! ”

Cao Cao's gaze softened a little, and he felt infinite emotion in his heart, he played with power all his life and beware of everyone around him, but he forgot that in this world, there is still the word 'family affection'!

The rest of the civil and military ministers were also quite moved, and their admiration for Xiao Yi was like a surging river, this is the heart of the husband, and this is the spirit of the co-lord of the world!

While everyone was sighing, a messenger ran in, sweating profusely and panting, holding a Hongling emergency report in his hand:

"Lord Prime Minister Qiqi and Lord Sima, last night the Jiangdong Navy went against the current, captured Hongcheng in one fell swoop, and cut off the rear waterway of our army!"

"What--Hongcheng is lost, the back road is cut off, and hundreds of thousands of our army are resting!"
