"How far is it?" Shi Hui asked urgently.

"It's less than twenty miles!" The scout's face turned pale.

"Shijun, what should I do?" A Fuso man asked in a panic.

Shi Hui pretended to be calm and said, "Cross the river immediately!" ”

Soon, the news of the Wei army's iron cavalry chasing spread among the Fusang people, the scene was in chaos, the frightened people desperately squeezed towards the few boats by the river, and people kept falling into the water, the water surface by the river was like boiling water, and the people who were squeezed to the ground wailed, and the voice became weaker and weaker: the children who were scattered were crying, and the mother who lost her child was looking for the crowd like crazy, and the scene was completely out of control.

Several overcrowded boats swayed off the shore, and people kept falling from the edge of the boat, when suddenly a small boat shook violently, and the people on board let out a frightened scream, and then the boat capsized, and everyone fell into the water.

Shihui and a few Fusang people on the shore shouted in confusion: "Don't mess up! Don't mess around! "But it didn't work.

Half an hour later, about a few thousand people had crossed the river, but nearly half of the dozen or so boats had capsized.

"Lord, we can't delay any longer!" Shi Yan beside Shi Hui lowered his voice and said urgently, Shi Hui subconsciously glanced towards the north and nodded.

Shi Hui said to several Fusang leaders beside him: "Everyone, the Wei army is here with a snap of your fingers, please leave first!" ”

When several Fusang leaders heard this, they hurriedly clasped their fists and said, "In this case, then we will take the first step!" The words fell, and he ran impatiently towards the river.

Shi Yan smiled coldly and whispered to Shi Hui: "Lord, we have hidden two boats in the reeds over there!" ”

Shi Hui nodded, and then Shi Hui and dozens of others left the place, and no one paid attention to them.

The leaders of the Fusang people ran to the river, and the guards around them unceremoniously pushed away the people of Fuso who were crowded on the boat, and then blasted down the people who had already boarded the boat.

Just as they were on the boat, an angry crowd could not help but throw stones at them.

This action immediately struck a chord with everyone, and the people picked up the stones and threw them at them with resentment and anger, and the leaders of the Fuso people were drowned in the rain of stones.

Cao Cao's thousands of iron horsemen finally arrived at the river bank, and the scene in front of him was somewhat unexpected, only to see tens of thousands of people crowded on the small river beach, a very chaotic scene.

Cao Cao frowned, made a gesture with his right hand, and then each 1,000 horsemen outflanked him from the left and right, and then, Cao Cao made another gesture and led more than 2,000 horsemen to slowly press towards the shore.

As soon as the Wei army appeared, the Fusang people, who were already very panicked, immediately exploded as if they had exploded, and many of them ran blindly in all directions like headless flies: some rushed towards the river in a very frenzied manner, while the rotten and old men with their children in their arms sat in place with desperate expressions, and many of them were in tears.

Cao Cao glanced at Dian Wei, who immediately took a few steps forward and shouted in a voice comparable to thunder: "Those who stand in place will not be killed!" ”

Dian Wei's voice suppressed all the noise in the scene.

The chaotic Fuso people gradually calmed down, squatting in place, not daring to move a little.

Cao Cao beat his horse and came to a small mound by the river, and couldn't help but feel complicated when he looked at the panicked people in front of him.

At this time, an officer of the Imperial Forest Army rushed to Cao Cao and reported: "Your Majesty, according to the confession of the captives, thousands of people have crossed the river!" ”

Cao Cao nodded, "What about Shihui?" ”

"Shihui did lead them to the river, but then they disappeared!"

Cao Cao frowned, and muttered with some emotion: "Shihui is really too cunning!" ”

Glancing across the river, "He must have crossed the river!" ”

"Your Majesty, chase after it immediately!" Dian Wei was impatient.

Cao Cao shook his head, "No! One is that there are no ships, and the other is that the top priority is not to pursue Shihui, but to restore the situation in the entire Jiaozhou! ”

Glancing at the black pressure Fusang people in front of him, he couldn't help frowning.

Some of the women with their babies in their arms knelt down and begged, "Your Majesty, spare your life!" Your Majesty spares your life! ”

The other people also knelt down and prostrated themselves and begged for mercy.

Cao Cao hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Take them back to the ronin camp!" Then he beat his horse and left.

The men and horses sent by Xun Yu entered the ronin camps separately, and there were basically no incidents beyond control, and those who lobbied in the ronin camp basically failed to escape.

Cao Cao led more than 1,000 iron cavalry to return to Sanjiang County first, when the soldiers of the 50,000 Jingzhou Army had just arrived.

Cao Cao immediately divided the Jingzhou army into two parts, one was stationed in Sanjiang County, and the other went out to the south of the river to prepare for crossing the river, and Zhang Duo, the general of the Jingzhou garrison, was in charge of these things.

Before evening, Cao Cao returned to Jiaozhou City under the escort of more than a thousand iron horsemen, and Cao Cao couldn't help but feel very tired when he was almost on the road that day.

As soon as Cao Cao's front foot stepped into the gate of the palace, Xun Yu, who heard the news, rushed to him and said excitedly: "Your Majesty, good news!" Good news! ”

Cao Cao's heart moved, and he asked a little nervously: "Is it, isn't it Zhurong, woke up?" ”

Xun Yu nodded vigorously.

Cao Cao immediately ignored anything else and hurried towards the back hall.

Cao Cao hurriedly walked into Zhu Rong's room and paused, Zhu Rong was leaning on the cushion and drinking a bowl of hot soup. The two palace maids and Zhu Yan stood on the edge of the bed.

Cao Cao took three steps and walked to the bed. Seeing this, Zhu Yan and the two palace maids hurriedly bowed, and then retreated very knowingly and closed the door gently.

"You're awake!" Cao Cao said such a sentence in a long time.

Zhu Rong smiled indifferently and stroked the hair on his sideburns, "Hmm! ”

Cao Cao sat down on the edge of the bed, took the soup bowl from Zhu Rong's hand, and put it on the bedside table beside him.

The two were silent for a moment, and Cao Cao suddenly took Zhu Rong into his arms; The power is so great that it seems to crush Zhu Rong.

"I'm really worried that you're leaving me like this!" From the words, Cao Cao's affection can be clearly felt, Zhu Rong's eyes are gentle as water, and such a look rarely appears on Zhu Rong's body.

The two hugged each other for a while before parting, Zhu Rong looked into Cao Cao's eyes and asked softly, "Does Your Majesty really care about me so much?" ”

Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, couldn't help but sigh in his heart, stroked Zhu Rong's hair, gently took her into his arms, and said faintly: "You are my concubine, the most important person in my life!" ”

Zhu Rong couldn't help but be excited, and smiled bitterly, "It should be one of the most important people in your life, Your Majesty!" ”

Cao Cao looked at Zhu Rong's eyes, and Zhu Rong also looked back, although there was some resentment, but more of a gentle touch.

Cao Cao sighed, "As the emperor, I ask myself if I am worthy of heaven and earth, worthy of the nation, and worthy of the people, but I only feel guilty about you!" (To be continued.) )
