Xu Huang sent something to King Zhao's palace.

Yan Bei thought that this general who had made great contributions to the Southern Expedition would send Sun Ce's head or Jiangdong treasure, but who knew that Xu Huang had sent a room of prisoners. As a close attendant, Sima Yi frowned and smiled and said that it was a room full of people, and they were all women.

The women of the Sun family were all captured and sent to the Zhao Palace.

But what's the use of having so many women? Waste of food, Handan City has already imprisoned Mrs. Cai, the widow of Liu Biao, what is the matter with getting a room of women from the descendants?

The identity of the captives Yanbei is very clear, Tian Yu has registered all of them, such as Sun Ce's wife Qiao's family, Zhou Yu's wife Qiao's family, Tian Yu also added a line at the bottom to specifically indicate that people call them big and small, collectively known as Jiangdong Erqiao.

Sun Jian's eldest daughter Sun, middle daughter Sun and young daughter Sun, collectively known as the three grandsons of Jiangdong, Tian Yu according to the above example to indicate that Sun's three daughters are not married, among which the young daughter is agile and intelligent, strong and brave, and is called Xiao Ji in Jiangdong, and he personally trained more than 100 female attendants to cause a lot of trouble to the boarding sergeant in the water battle.

In addition to them, there are also many daughters of the Sun family.

However, Yan Bei was not very interested in them, and he no longer cared about them when he settled in Handan City, in fact, what made him even more curious was where Sun Ce had gone.

It's a prince, and forcing them to the sea is not Yanbei's original intention, Yanbei's original intention...... It's good to just surrender or kill, who would have thought that the Sun family could find a way to escape in addition to death and surrender.

Yanbei thought that Yangzhou was a Jedi, but who knew that people had gone overseas.

At this time, he restrained Tian Yu from a lot of troops, so that his navy stayed in Yangzhou in the East China Sea and and could not return, and even kept looking for islands outward, in order to find traces of the Sun family. However, at this time, King Zhao no longer regarded the Sun family as an enemy in his heart.

It was a good thing that the Yangzhou scholars expelled Sun, or at least it saved him the difficulty of settling the prefecture again, and with these scholars, he was able to recover Yangzhou with little effort, allowing him to focus his attention on the southwest—in the direction of Cao Cao and Liu Bei.

The battle report sent back by Ma Chao was nothing special, it was nothing more than breaking through Baishui Pass, and then marching south, and Guan Yu fought a few battles with each other, and Zhao Yun captured the enemy general Mi Fang on the battlefield, I heard that he was still Liu Bei's brother-in-law...... However, this is useless, it is expected that if Liu Bei captures Yanbei's brother-in-law Zhen Yao in the war, it will not change the battle situation, but Yanbei really wants to see this Mi Fang, so he sent a letter asking Ma Chao to send Mi Fang to the palace of Zhao.

On Zhang Jaw's side, the battle report he sent back was a little weird, Cao Cao had previously stationed troops in Wuling, and then further contracted his defenses, almost sending Nanjun to the Yan family, followed by when Zhang Jaw entered the Wuling Tomb, his subordinates were greedy and reckless Fang Yue went south one hundred and seventy miles in three days, which made Zhang Jaw worry for a long time. His subordinates are just one cronie, and the others are all people from Jiang Jin in the past who spent the Liao Department, so if they are beheaded, they will not be distressed to death?

But on the contrary, Fang Yue didn't do anything, he didn't encounter Cao Jun to stop him at all. This made Zhang Jaw muttered in his heart, one hundred and seventy miles in three days, in the north and even in the Central Plains, this is almost like a turtle crawling, but in Wuling County, Jingzhou, this kind of marching speed is like a rib with wings.

Only those who have holes in their brains will not intercept him.

Cao Cao's head may be sick, but his brain is definitely not holed, since he didn't volley, it must be something wrong with Wuling.

Wuling County is full of mountains and valleys, some roads are not open anywhere, while others are extensive, and Zhang Jaw worries about Cao Cao's next move in his letters.

Cao Cao, where will he go?

The road in Yizhou in the west is not easy to walk, and Lingling County in the east is almost the same, could it be that Cao Cao really wants to run to Jiaozhou?

Yanbei didn't know that when he was meditating hard about where Cao Cao was going, Cao Cao was crying in the Lipu field in the north of Jiaozhou, thousands of miles away in the south.

It's real crying, not fake crying.

On the Jiaojing border, Cao Cao had just fought a battle with the northern border defense left by Shixie half a month ago. When Shixie went north to attack Liu Bei in Yizhou, he thought that there would be no strong enemy crossing the border in the direction of Jingzhou, so the troops left behind in the border defense did not deliberately replenish and train, leaving most of them old and weak. At this time, Cao Cao, who had become the second prince of the world after Yuan Shao's defeat and retreat to Xuzhou, led his most loyal remnants of the defeated soldiers to kill him, and there was no suspense in the bloody battle.

But the bad thing is that Jiaozhou is different from the Central Plains, and there is a miasma here.

Miasma is not a fantasy thing, to put it bluntly, it is a bacterium caused by the decomposition of the dead corpses of tropical beasts near the water, which are carried by aquatic mosquitoes and transmitted to the human body after biting people. In an era of medical scarcity, it is often difficult for people to realize that mosquito bites can infect miasma, and by the time they realize that they have the disease, it is too late.

The pathogen carried by the miasma is malaria.

There were not many northerners in Cao Cao's army, but most of the Central Plains were no different from the northerners, and they did not have the slightest resistance to miasma, but in just half a month, after his army captured Lipu, an important town in the north of Jiaozhou, they were plagued by miasma. This disease is actually nothing, although it does have the possibility of death, but the real damage is much smaller than the plague that Cao Cao has experienced several times, but the miasma is obviously more terrible than the plague in people's hearts.

The key is the onset.

When a person is infected with the plague, the camp will die one after another in the camp one after another, and when the people are almost dead, the plague will be gone. So it is enough for a plague-infected person to pray to God that he will survive, but this is obviously not the case with miasma.

Infected with miasma, people will be hot for a while and cold for a while, like an evil spirit.

Usually the military Han Lao Ge, who is accustomed to fighting, is not afraid of evil, but once most of their army is like a curse to defend the city, the people's hearts will be scattered, and these Central Plains people don't know when they will feel cold, they don't know when they will feel hot, and they can't say when they will die suddenly, which is worrying...... Not to mention how uncomfortable it is.

And once they also feel that they are really evil?

Truth be told, a person who has the mental capacity to collapse can bring more damage after a collapse than a direct collapse.

Even Cao Cao, who was optimistic by nature, felt that he was on the verge of collapse at this moment, this man from the top family of the Han Dynasty, who had been a fugitive and a prince for half his life, often cried at night, his mental state became extremely unstable, and he often thought of his hometown.

Cao Cao didn't know where he should go, should he lead his troops to continue moving forward, or should he turn around and return to Jingzhou to surrender to Yanbei?
