Liyang.

Nearly 50,000 Cao troops are boarding ships in an orderly manner, preparing to cross to the opposite side of Baima Ferry.

Cao Cao immediately stood on the shore and looked at the legions whose morale was gradually recovering, with a touch of relief on his brows.

After Sima Yi came up with a plan to dig up the Zhang River and flooded a natural barrier of more than 200 miles, Liu Bei stopped marching westward.

As the hearts of the counties in central and western Hebei gradually stabilized, Cao's trusted armies stationed at the key points of You and the two prefectures, and the Xiliang army and the Heishan army of Youzhou army were reorganized one after another, the situation in Hebei has stabilized.

Cao Cao clearly realized that he was finally sure of the three states of Hebei.

The only fly in the ointment is that the two counties of the Bohai Plain in eastern Hebei were snatched away by Liu Bei, and there is no hope of regaining them for the time being.

It was like there was a fish bone stuck in his throat, making him feel uncomfortable all the time.

Fortunately, Sima Yi's plan of digging the river drew a huge gap in the land of Jizhou, which minimized Liu Bei's threat to the hinterland of Jizhou.

"Although the Battle of Pingyuan was miscalculated, the plan to dig the river was a perfect solution."

"Zhongda, among all the counselors, you are still the best hope against Deng Mu."

Cao Cao stroked his short beard and looked at Sima Yi next to him with promiscuous eyes.

Sima Yi raised his lips quietly, but he quickly cupped his hands:

"It is Sikong Xiong who has great talent and extraordinary courage. He dares to use Yi's strategy."

"If it were someone like Liu Bei, he would definitely not have the guts to use Yi's plan for fear of being criticized by the world."

Cao Cao smiled coldly and said proudly:

"Since ancient times, if you want to become a hegemon, how can you stick to small details and care about the opinions of the world?"

"When I, Cao Cao, do things, I would rather the world betray me than ask me to betray the world!"

Sima Yi had a look of admiration on his face, and he hurriedly complimented:

"Sikong is so ambitious that even though Emperor Qin and Emperor Wu of Han are resurrected, they will still be willing to be defeated."

"The Han Dynasty has run out of energy, and Sikong is destined to take his place."

Sima Yi observed his appearance, and took advantage of the opportunity of compliments to express his feelings for Cao Cao.

God's destiny is to replace him!

Cao Cao's heart was slightly shocked when he heard these eight words, and his blood boiled inexplicably.

Cao Cao stroked his short beard and shot a sneer in the direction of Xu Du. His eyes gradually became arrogant and conceited.

"Qin lost its deer, and the whole world chased it away, so how could Emperor Gao gain it?"

"Now that the Han Dynasty has lost its deer, my Cao Cao's talent and family background are far superior to that of Emperor Gao. Why do I have to be a minister of the Han Dynasty to assist that little emperor who has no talent and no virtue?"

"The Emperor's Dragon Throne can sit on Liu's throne, but why can't I, Cao, sit on it?"

In Cao Cao's mind, a voice was questioning over and over again.

The idea that was ignited by Sima Yi was getting stronger and stronger in his heart.

"Da da da!"

The sound of rapid hoofbeats sounded.

A horse galloped over, rolled his saddle and dismounted.

"Report to Sikong, the eldest son urgently reports"

"Dong Cheng and other Han officials launched a mutiny, kidnapped the emperor and fled Xudu. Now they have disappeared!"

The messenger half-knelt on the ground and presented Cao Ang's urgent report with both hands.

Cao Cao's color suddenly changed, and his arrogant eyes were instantly replaced by shock. He grabbed the urgent report and read it.

Dong Cheng and more than ten Han officials were entangled in Xu's family. They all mutinied and set fires everywhere, attracting the city defenders to put out the fire.

The rebels took advantage of the situation and broke into the palace, kidnapped the emperor and empress, and fled Xudu. When Cao Ang heard that the emperor had fled, he knew that he had fallen into the trap of diverting the tiger away from the mountain, and immediately mobilized troops and horses to go out of the city to pursue him.

Who It was expected that there were traces of the Emperor's vehicles passing by in four directions outside Xudu City, making it impossible for Cao Ang to tell the Emperor's true direction of escape.

So Cao Ang sent a messenger to rush to Liyang at a speed of 800 miles to report to Cao Cao and ask Cao Cao for instructions. How to pursue

"Good on you Liu Xie!"

"You devoured me, Cao Cao, and drank from me, but now you are repaying favor with me and stabbing me in the back, trying to escape from my control!"

"Hateful, hateful~~"

Cao Cao was so angry that he gnashed his teeth and cursed.

Sima Yi and other advisers and generals were all surprised.

"The Emperor is the great righteousness and a sharp weapon for Sikong to calm people's hearts. How can we lose it just like that?"

"Please, my lord, send your Qingqi south immediately and rush to recover the Emperor!"

Tian Feng's face was solemn, and he immediately reminded him with a solemn voice.

Cao Cao suddenly came to his senses, hurriedly put away his anger, and read Cao Ang's emergency report again.

"Are there traces of the emperor's car driving by in all directions of Xudu?"

"That boy, where did he escape to?"

Cao Cao frowned, and suspicion gradually grew in his eyes.

Sima Yi rolled his eyes and said firmly:

"Sikong, the emperor must flee eastward to Suiyang to join Liu Bei!"

Cao Cao looked suspicious, but said:

"It is reasonable for the boy to seek refuge with the big-eared thief, but how can you conclude that he fled to Suiyang?"

Sima Yi hurriedly gathered his guards and unfolded the map.

"Guanzhong and Hebei are all owned by Sikong, so the emperor will naturally not flee north or west."

"Then the only thing left is to go south and east to join the big-eared thief!"

Sima Yi said, pointing his finger in the direction of Nanyang

"Although you can go south to Nanyang and join Guan Yu, it is also the shortest direction."

"If our army wants to pursue it, it will naturally give priority to pursuing it southward."

"So Yi guessed that Dong Cheng and his gang of traitors would definitely go in the opposite direction and flee eastward to Suiyang."

"Although the route in this direction is far away, it is not easily pursued by our army. On the contrary, it has a better chance of escaping to Suiyang!"

After Sima Yi analyzed it, he pointed to the north again.

"Now Liu Bei leads the main force across the river and goes south. We think that the big-eared bandits want to join Huang Zhong's troops and attack our Yanzhou westward from the Qingxu line."

"Therefore, Sikongcai led the main force back to the army, preparing to stop Liu Bei at the front line of Jiyin, Dongjun."

"Now it seems that Liu Bei has no intention of fighting our army again. He led his army south, clearly intending to go to Suiyang to meet us."

"Yi expected that big-eared thief would now march south with the Qing Army, heading towards Suiyang at starry night! Sima

Yi took a picture of the map and said resolutely:

"Please Sikong quickly send light cavalry southward, traveling day and night, non-stop southward, and rush to the west of Suiyang in Liangguo to intercept the emperor!"

Cao Cao's eyes gathered together and he shouted sternly:

"Ma Mengqi obeys the order!" (To read exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

"The end will be here!"

A young general with extraordinary valor and a white horse and a brocade robe rode his horse forward to obey the order.

It was Ma Teng's son, Xiliang Jin Ma Chao.

"I order you to lead a thousand Xiliang Qingqi and immediately go south to Suiyang to intercept the emperor and the empress!"

Cao Cao doesn't have many cavalry generals under his command. The only cavalrymen on hand are thousands of Xiliang cavalry brought by Ma Chao from Bingzhou.

Moreover, those Yuan Cong generals are somewhat afraid of the emperor, and they are afraid that they will not be able to let go during the pursuit. Hands and feet.

Starting from Dong Zhuo, the Xiliang people hijacked the emperor several times and treated the emperor as nothing.

In the eyes of the Xiliang people, the emperor had no prestige at all.

Therefore, after a little weighing, Cao Cao made a decision immediately, Use Ma Chao to ride lightly to intercept the Emperor

"The general takes command!"

"The end is about to go!"

Ma Chao accepted the order with great enthusiasm and left.

Cao Cao was in a hurry and tore him into pieces. Looking south, he gritted his teeth and said:

"Big-eared thief, I will never let the emperor fall into your hands!"

"If you want to imitate me and serve the emperor in order to win over disloyalty, it is simply a daydream!"[]

A few days later, west of Suiyang.

Seven hundred private soldiers escorted a carriage and were running towards Suiyang. 240

"Your Majesty, your estimate is good."

"Cao Ren's troops did not notice our arrival. We had successfully passed through Cao's defense line and entered the boundary of Liang State."

"There are more than thirty miles aheadWe have arrived at Suiyang. Liu Bei should send troops to meet us."

Dong Cheng reported to Liu Xie in the carriage.

Liu Xie was relieved. His nerves, which had been tense for many days, finally relaxed.

"Okay, okay, if I can trap the dragon and go to the sea, and go to Suiyang smoothly, uncle Guo, you will be my number one contributor to the resurgence of the Han Dynasty! Liu

Xie was overjoyed and did not forget to praise Dong Cheng.

Dong Cheng was so happy that he rode away, urging his troops to move forward faster.

"Then Uncle Liu Huang should be waiting for His Majesty in Suiyang."

"The concubine thought that when she saw Uncle Liu Huang, His Majesty should give him a generous reward in order to win his heart. Fu

Shou reminded

"Well, the queen reminded me that"

"I have to give Liu Bei a heavy reward so that he will be grateful and loyal to me!"

Liu Xie nodded repeatedly.

After thinking for a moment, Liu Xie asked Fu Shou to grind, write an imperial edict himself, and stamp it with a jade seal

"Your Majesty wants to make Liu Bei King of Yan? Fu

Shou couldn't help but be surprised when he saw the content of the imperial edict.

Liu Xie raised the corners of his mouth with pride and said with a smile:

"Either I don't give him a reward, or I give him a big one!"

"Liu Bei was born as a mat weaver and shoe seller. He never dreamed that one day he would be crowned king."

"He is from Youzhou, so I will give him the title of King of Yan and give him a big surprise."

"How could he not be grateful to me and go through fire and water to repay my kindness!"

The words just fell.

Suddenly a soldier outside the car shouted:

"Cao Jun is attacking from the north, and it's Cao Jun's cavalry who are chasing him!"

In the carriage.

Liu Xie, who was admiring his masterpiece, his expression suddenly changed.
