Cao Cao used the position of the governor of Jingzhou and the territory of Jiangling to get out of here. He had a bit of a cede to pay compensation for land and his face was a little bit bad!

As the pursuit of the troops gradually faded away, Cao Cao looked back at the generals, and most of them were incomplete in armor.

As he was moving forward, the soldier reported: "There are two roads ahead to Xiangyang. Which road should the Prime Minister go from?"

Cao Cao asked, "Which road is near?"

The sergeant replied: "The road is slightly flat, but it is more than fifty miles away. The road is thrown into Huarong Road, but it is nearly fifty miles away. However, Huarong Road is narrow and dangerous, and it is difficult to move through the pits."

Cao Cao did not rush to make a decision this time, but asked someone to go up the mountain to watch and find the horse to reward him:

"There are several smokes rising on the side of the small road and the main road is not moving."

Cao Cao thought for a while and decisively asked the front army to take the Huarong Road path.

The generals were in doubt. Several people couldn't calm down and asked at the same time: "Where the beacon smoke rises, there must be military horses. Why did the Prime Minister take this path?"

Cao Cao said, "Didn't you hear that the military book says: If it is empty, it is solid, and if it is solid, it is empty. Liu Bei has few soldiers, so it is impossible to cover everything and set up ambush everywhere. Zhuge Liang is resourceful, so he made people burn smoke in the mountains, so that our army dare not walk on this mountain road, but he ambushed the troops on the main road. My prediction has been settled, but he will not follow his plan!"

When the generals heard this, they were very reasonable and complimented: "The Prime Minister is a clever plan, but he is out of reach." Although Cao Cao was resourceful and good at making decisions, his suspicious character was controlled by Zhuge Liang, and he happened to be his suspicious plan!

All the generals were all recruiting troops to walk on Huarong Road. At this time, they were hungry and cold, and the horses were exhausted!

Cao Cao's army was not in a state of disguise, and at first glance they were defeated! Those who were in a state of panic were in support, while those who were shot with guns were forced to leave. The clothes and armor were soaked, and each of them was incomplete; the military weapons and flags were all disorganized: most of them were taken away by Zhang Fei, and they rode bald horses, saddles and bridles, and all of them were abandoned. It was the coldest winter, so how could it be said that the suffering was better?

Suddenly, the team ahead stopped moving forward, and Cao Cao asked why.

The sergeant reported: "The mountain and road ahead are small. Because it rains in the morning, water accumulates in the pit and trenches, and mud is stuck in the horse's hooves, making it difficult to move forward."

Cao Cao's remaining soldiers were originally only thousands of troops, but there were less than a thousand soldiers who could fight. In desperation, he had to give up some of the wounded soldiers.

Cao Cao issued an order to let the wounded soldiers rest on the side first, and the strong carried soil and firewood, carried grass and reeds, and filled the roads.

At this time, the entire army was hungry and most of them had fallen to the ground and could not move. After passing this not-too-long dirt road, Cao Cao looked back and found that there were only hundreds of cavalry afterwards, and there were no one with neat armor and armor.

Cao Cao felt a sense of crisis, and was anxious in his heart, urging the soldiers to go quickly. All the generals were exhausted and panting, and they all asked, "There are no horses, so I have to rest less."

Cao Cao said firmly: "Get out of danger first and hurry to Xiangyang and stop at rest."

After walking for less than a few miles, Cao Cao raised his whip and laughed loudly on the horse.

The generals asked, "Why did the Prime Minister laugh again?" They had seen Cao Cao's laugh twice and were still scared. The third laugh was already a frightened bird, which made them even more frightened.

Cao Cao said: "Everyone said that Zhou Yu was very resourceful. Zhuge Liang was very intelligent and resourceful. From what I saw, he was an incompetent person. If we were to let the troops here be trapped, we would all be bound by our hands."

Cao Cao's laughter was really more effective than a crow's mouth! Before he finished speaking, a cannon sounded and a military horse turned out, blocking his way.

Five hundred school knives on both sides were scattered in one stroke, and the general Guan Yunchang, held the blue dragon sword, crossed the red rabbit horse, and stood in the middle of the road.

When the generals under Cao Cao saw it, they were all frightened and looked at each other. No one came forward to fight. Even Xu Zhu, who had always been brave enough to move forward, stood still.

Cao Cao said inspiration: "Since you have arrived here, Xiangyang is not far away, so you have to fight to the death and fight to a bloody road!"

All the generals lowered their heads and did not dare to look at Cao Cao. Only Xu Zhu said in a muffled voice: "Even if a person is not afraid and has no horsepower, how can he fight again?"

Cheng Yu was defeated today because he did not do his job well and did not let Jiangdong surrender without fighting like Jingzhou. He felt guilty and quickly offered advice:

"I always know that I am proud of the superiors but not tolerate the inferiors, bullying the strong but not bullying the weak; my grudges are clear, and my faith and righteousness are always there. The Prime Minister used to be kind to him, but now I only personally informed him, and I may get rid of this difficulty."

Cao Cao nodded in agreement with Cheng Yu's opinion. Since he could not fight, he would no longer waste time. He rode forward and bowed to Guan Yu and said, "God is fine!"

Yun Chang also bowed and replied, "Guan is ordered by the military advisor and is waiting for the prime minister here for a long time."

Although Cao Cao had a high position and power, he was no different from ordinary people after he was defeated. Seeing that Guan Yu still had his past relationship, he said pitifully to Guan Yu:

"I, Cao Cao, was in danger of defeat and had no way out. I hope the general should pay attention to his past feelings."

Guan Yu felt quite unbearable when he saw Cao Cao's miserable appearance, and his eyes were slightly red. However, when he remembered Zhuge Liang's instructions, he still answered with a hard heart:

"Although Guan was grateful to the Prime Minister in the past, he had already killed Yan Liang, Wen Chou, and lifted the siege of Baima to repay him. How dare you depose the public for personal gain for your own sake?"

Cao Cao secretly saw that Guan Yu was already moved, so he ran into the railway while it was hot:

"Can the general remember when he passes the five passes and kills the general? A real man values ​​faith and righteousness. The general understands the "Spring and Autumn Annals", but don't he know that the matter of Gong Yu chasing his son and washing his son?"

Guan Yu is a man of righteousness as strong as a mountain. If he thinks of a little disobeying loyalty and righteousness, he will blush!

He remembered many kindnesses of Cao Cao that day and the later death of the generals of the Five Passes, how could he not be moved?

Seeing that Cao's army was in panic, they were all crying, and they felt unbearable. They were determined to let Cao Cao go, but they had already issued a military order with Zhuge Liang's military advisor, so they dared not have a joke, so they tied the horse head back and said to Cao Cao according to Professor Zhuge Liang's lines:

"Although the Prime Minister was defeated, he was only a temporary defeat. After returning, he was still the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty, who was less than one person and more than ten thousand people. Although we three brothers won by chance this time, they still had no place to live."

Speaking of this, Guan Yu stopped and wiped his wet eyes. He also felt a lot when he remembered that he had been living under the roof of Jingzhou for many years!

The surprise on Cao Cao's face flashed and his thoughts flashed:

"This time Guan Yu was shameless and asked for the territorial position for Liu Bei, but he didn't know that Zhang Fei had succeeded. It seemed that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei did not communicate with each other. Either they had double insurance or they did their own things. Anyway, this is all. Since Zhang Fei has agreed to him, why not agree to Guan Yu again!"

This time, Cao Cao learned his lesson, but he didn't want to worry about being afraid anymore! In order to prevent the night from long dreams, he did not wait for Guan Yu to say anything further, and took over the topic and said:

"With Brother Xuande's reputation, qualifications and talents, you can get the governor of a state, but the rules of the Han court cannot be abolished. Please find a governor of a state to submit a recommendation! After receiving the recommended form, the imperial edict will be issued immediately. I will see the governor of the Jingzhou governor and put it in Jiangling!"
