"Your Majesty, our army should take advantage of the victory to pursue!" Guo Jia suggested.

Cao Cao nodded and said, "The main force will be here for a day for the time being, and tomorrow, I will personally lead 100,000 elites to the west!" I know Ma Chao, he will definitely lead the cavalry to chase to the edge of the Yangtze River! ”

Cao Cao paused suddenly when he said this, and his brows furrowed slightly: "I'm just a little worried that Meng Qi is too eager to make meritorious service and fall for Zhuge Liang's trick!" ”

Guo Jia smiled: "Probably not!" The cavalry under General Ma Chao are all battle-hardened Imperial Forest Army iron cavalry, and the puppet Han army is newly defeated, and the top and bottom are panicked! Therefore, General Ma Chao will definitely not encounter any danger. ”

Cao Cao smiled: "Hearing Feng Xiao say this, I am relieved!" ”

At this moment, a royal forest soldier hurriedly ran into the lobby, kneeling down with a flying pigeon biography in both hands and said, "Your Majesty, this is an urgent flying pigeon biography from General Lin Tao!" ”

Cao Cao couldn't help but be stunned, and secretly thought: 'What kind of emergency will there be in Youxian at this time?' ’

I took the flying pigeon book casually, opened it and looked at it, my eyebrows suddenly tightened, and I said angrily: "A good Zhuge Liang is really a good means!" ”

"Your Majesty, what happened?" Guo Jia asked.

Cao Cao said in a deep voice: "Just today, Chen Sheng, the general under the command of the puppet Han, led tens of thousands of elites to open the city gate, invade Youxian, and burned all the grain and grass that our army had hoarded in some places!" ”

Guo Jia was taken aback: "There are 20,000 defenders in Youxian, and nearly half of them are the elite soldiers of my Great Wei, how can they be broken so easily by Chen Sheng!?" Lin Tao should be killed!! ”

Cao Cao crumpled the flying pigeon biography in his hand, frowned, and said, "Lin Tao can't be completely blamed for this matter!" ”

Cao Cao paused, and said with great annoyance: "The grain and grass have been destroyed. Our army can't go west to Wuling at all now! The top priority is to quickly raise the wrong grain and grass, otherwise my hundreds of thousands of troops will be hungry! Bong-hyo. Immediately sent flying pigeon to Luoyang, Chang'an, Daliang, Nanyang and other places. I want them to prepare grain and grass for me to transport to Changsha immediately! ”

Guo Jia nodded and arched his hand: "It will take at least five days to prepare grain and grass from Nanyang and then transport it here, and the grain and grass in the hands of our army can only last for three days at most!" You have to find a way on the spot! ”

At this time, Cao Cao was pacing back and forth in the lobby in annoyance like Liu Qi before, Cao Cao paused, frowned, and said, "You can't tell me to rob the people's food, right!?" ”

"Your Majesty, after attacking Xiangyang in the past, after purging those die-hard hypocrites, our army obtained enough money and food for 200,000 troops for a year afterwards!" Guo Jia's eyes flashed with green light, like a wolf that found its prey.

Cao Cao was stunned. Immediately, the tiger's eyes lit up, and he clapped his hands and said, "That's right! ”

Immediately, Cao Cao couldn't help frowning: "But the puppet Han army has already done it once before, what oil and water can the scholars in Changsha have?" ”

Guo Jia hugged his fists and said: "It's not the Shi clan, but those businessmen who support the puppet Han army, such as the Chen family, the Zhang family, etc.!" ”

Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, then frowned slightly, and showed hesitation.

Guo Jia understood what Cao Cao was hesitating, that is, he was afraid that the matter would be too big, and it would be better to gain more than to lose. So he said: "If it is only for the Zhang family and the Chen family's industry in Changsha, it should be enough!" ”

Cao Cao couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and said to Guo Jia: "Then pass the order Xingba to assist the anti-thieves to confiscate the Chen family and the Zhang family for the people!" Remember. Don't kill in vain! ”

"Yes!" Guo Jia said yes and exited the lobby.

Cao Cao sat on the throne, looking at the ceiling in a daze. Scenes from the past kept flashing through my mind.

Ma Chao led tens of thousands of iron cavalry of the Imperial Forest Army to pursue all the way to the west, and the Jing Han army was killed and fled in a panic. It's embarrassing.

In the middle of the night, he chased to the territory of Yiyang County, and was suddenly ambushed by Huo Jun's department. After paying a lot of price, the Jing Han army defeated the blocking force, and the army chased to the bank of the Yangtze River before the early morning, and at this moment, most of the Jing Han army and Liu Qi and the following generals had just crossed the Yangtze River, and the port on the east bank was a sea of fire, and the Jing Han army set a fire before scattering.

Ma Chao looked at the Jing Han army on the other side of the Yellow River, and flicked his horsewhip in great annoyance, but he was helpless.

Liu Qi on the other side looked at the military flag of the Wei army, his face was a little pale, and he couldn't help but secretly say: "It's really dangerous!" ’

Liu Qi and others temporarily rested in a ruined temple not far from the Yangtze River, a personal soldier carefully brought Liu Qi a jar of water, at this moment Liu Qi felt that his throat was about to smoke, and snatched the water tank in the hands of the soldiers, but suddenly realized something, glanced at the people around him, handed the water tank to Zhuge Liang beside him and said: "Prime Minister, you Aiqing, you have worked hard these days, or you drink first!" ”

Zhuge Liang couldn't help but be moved in his heart, but he didn't shirk and took the water tank from Liu Qi's hand.

"How far is it from Wuling?" Liu Qi asked.

"About two hundred miles away!" Yi returned to the road.

Liu Qi thought of the defeat in Changsha, and couldn't help sighing, and then cheered up and said to the generals: "I will return to Wuling to rectify the armament, and I will definitely be able to make a comeback!" ”

Seeing Liu Qi so full of confidence, everyone couldn't help but be deeply encouraged, and hugged their fists together and said, "Your Majesty is wise!" ”

Liu Qi nodded with satisfaction, and suddenly found that there were two missing generals among the generals, so he asked, "General Bo, General Wen, what about the two generals?" ”

Everyone's eyes searched around, and at this time, Huang Zhongyu reported: "Your Majesty, General Bo was killed when the city was broken!" And General Wen led the team to stay behind, and at this moment, I am afraid that it will be more than lucky! ”

The scene was quiet, everyone couldn't help but have a feeling of sadness, Liu Qi sighed, and said sadly: "The two generals have followed me for many years, but I can't imagine it"

"Your Majesty, the two generals shed their blood for the big man, and they can be said to have died well! Your Majesty don't have to be too sad! Zhuge Liang arched his hand.

Liu Qi nodded silently.

Liu Qi and the others rested in the broken temple for about a quarter of an hour, and then set off, at this moment the sun has risen from the sky, the cold sunlight is weakly sprinkled on this land, more than 10,000 remnants of the Jing Han army are weakly marching on the official road to Wuling, and many people still have a look of horror on their faces.

The Jing Han army originally had a total of nearly 300,000 troops in Changsha, but after the battle of Changsha, which lasted for one month, these 300,000 troops were almost wiped out, and only more than 10,000 remnants fled into Wuling.

At present, the total strength of the Jing Han army plus the Wuling can squeeze out, there are only about 100,000 people left, and most of them are new troops with weak combat effectiveness.

The regime of Jing Han can be said to be unworthy of the name at this time, and it can even be said that it exists in name only! (To be continued......)
