Three Kingdoms: The ghost plotter taught Liu Bei to seize Jingzhou first

Two days later, Yongcheng, on the eastern foot of Longshan Mountain.

An unexpected snowstorm once again transformed the vast plain into a silvery white world.

On this road leading to Xiliang, less than 30,000 Wei army cavalry and infantry marched towards Yuncheng, the westernmost city of Yongzhou, on the snow of varying depths.

Once they passed Yuncheng and crossed the steep Long Road, they would be in Liangzhou.

A new starting point was waiting for them.

Since escaping from Chencang, the army led by Cao Cao had been marching day and night, not daring to slack off in the slightest, fearing that the iron hoofs of the Han army would catch up.

After two days of sleepless and restless running, Cao Cao and his soldiers, although exhausted, finally arrived at the border of Yuncheng.

"Mengqi, how far is it from Yuncheng?"

Cao Cao rode his horse in the wind and snow, covering his face with his hands, and asked Ma Chao beside him.

Ma Chao pointed to the distance and said:

"It's only a few miles away. Your Majesty, please look 723. There seems to be the outline of a city ahead."

Following Ma Chao's direction, Cao Cao saw a city looming through the gaps in the wind and snow.

At this moment, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, as if a heavy burden was lifted off in an instant.

Then Cao Cao whipped his horse and galloped on the snow, wishing he could fly to Yuncheng.

At dusk.

Cao Cao and his exhausted army finally arrived under Yuncheng.

At this time, the city gate had already been opened, and dozens of local officials lined up to welcome Cao Cao's arrival.

"I am Yang Fu, the governor of Tianshui County, and I am here to see Your Majesty."

A scholar in his forties led the crowd to kneel in front of the city gate.

"No need to be polite, Guan Qing." Cao Cao waved his whip lightly.

Yang Fu responded and stood up, bowing and reporting:

"I heard that your majesty is here in person, and we have prepared a reward for the troops and a welcoming banquet. Please enter the city and rest."

Seeing that Yang Fu had made thorough preparations, Cao Cao was relieved.

So, under the guidance of Yang Fu, Cao Cao and his party stepped into Yuncheng and settled in the county government.

Indeed, a banquet had been set up in the county government.

After drinking a cup of warm wine, Cao Cao's tired body and mind were comforted, and the haze on his face also dissipated a little.

"Mr. Yang, we parted that day, and I never thought that you and I would meet again in this way."

Cao Cao's words revealed a bit of loneliness.

Yang Fu was originally a wise man recommended by Jia Xu, and was deeply appreciated by Cao Cao.

After he led his army to the east to recover Guanzhong, Cao Cao entrusted him with an important task and appointed him as the governor of Tianshui to be responsible for raising military food.

Yang Fu lived up to his trust and personally supervised the grain supply in various counties, raising 100,000 hu of grain for Cao Cao. (To read the novel, go to Fulu Novel Network!)

However.

Just a few days ago, when Yang Fu arrived in Yuncheng and wanted to raise more food, he was shocked to hear the news that Fufeng had fallen.

That day, he predicted that Cao Cao would retreat to Longxi, and Yuncheng was the only way to go, so he decided to stay here, prepare food, rice, wine and meat overnight, and wait for Cao Cao to arrive.

Today,Facts proved that his judgment was correct. Cao Cao did retreat to Yuncheng.

Faced with Cao Cao's sigh, Yang Fu's expression changed slightly, and he looked at Jia Xu quietly.

Jia Xu nodded gently, and signaled him to comfort Cao Cao with his eyes.

Yang Fu understood, and suddenly raised a meaningful smile at the corner of his mouth.

Seeing this, Cao Cao frowned slightly, and his face was slightly unhappy:

"Yang Fu, why are you laughing?"

Yang Fu quickly restrained his smile and replied respectfully:

"I lost my composure, Your Majesty, and I hope you will forgive me."

"However, I just think that although we have lost Guanzhong, Longxi and Liangzhou are still there, and we have not reached the point of exhaustion."

"I think Your Majesty does not need to worry so much!"

Cao Cao's expression changed slightly when he heard this, and he looked at Yang Fu's calm face in confusion. .
