In fact, whether there is Juque or not has no big impact on Liu Chuang.

Lu Bu was seriously injured and almost like a useless person, he could no longer bear the original responsibility. Zhang Liao knew this, Chen Gong knew it, including Cao Xing and Gao Shun. Even Mrs. Yan Diao Chan and Cao expected such a result. So Mrs. Yan handed over the command to Liu Chuang early on. However, the handover of the Juque Sword was like a inheritance, but the meaning was unusual.

When Liu Chuang got the Juque Sword, he was equivalent to officially taking over the power in Lu Bu's hands.

From then on, Lu Bu will retreat behind the scenes...

After a brief joy, Liu Chuang felt heavy pressure.

Cao Cao's army approached, but they were not out of danger yet.

Everyone's life and death are in his own hands. This feels good, but it is also heavy, and it will turn into a heavy burden...

"Madam, I have ordered people to arrange ships in Jiangdu and take the sea to send your father-in-law and you to the end.

Now that the remaining poison on my father-in-law has not been cleared, it is always a hidden danger. Hua Tuo and Zhang Ji are the saints of the world. Maybe they can clearly understand the remaining poison on my father-in-law, and maybe they can treat my father-in-law's hands. I wonder if this is the right arrangement?"

In the living room of the back house of Huaiyin County Government, two braziers were lit.

Liu Chuang was respectful and told Mrs. Yan and the other two about his plan. Mrs. Yan and Diao Chan and Cao looked at each other, and their eyes showed a look of surprise.

"Since that's the case, why not evacuate immediately?"

Liu Chuang smiled bitterly and said, "I don't want to evacuate, but the actual ships are not enough.

There are only three large ships in Jiangdu, and the rest are all small boats, which are not enough to sail on the sea. I have sent Mizhu to Jiangdong to exchange grain for ships. However, I guess there are probably not too many tower ships in Jiangdong. Even if I want to retreat, I have to leave in batches.

This time, only father-in-law, wife, and some wounded soldiers were evacuated.

I will continue to restrain Cao Cao's troops here and wait for Sun Ce's reply.

I believe that it won’t take too long, Jiangdong will have a reply... As for the other side, I will ask Bo Zuo to accompany him and ask Hua Tuo and Zhang Ji to help."

In other words, Liu Chuang will continue to stay in the dangerous place.

Mrs. Yan couldn't help but frowned, "Meng Yan, tell me honestly, will it be dangerous?"

"Don't worry, Madam, although there are some dangers, it's not worth worrying about.

With my horse under my crotch and my palm, Cao Cao used a large army to stop me, and he could not stop me from trapping me. The most important thing is to save my father-in-law."

Tears flashed in Mrs. Yan's eyes.

"My son has made you suffer!"

This sentence sounds a bit awkward.

But Liu Chuang is Mrs. Yan's son-in-law, and she called Liu Chuang "My Son". It seemed that nothing was wrong. Diao Chan and Cao showed admiration on their faces and stood up to bow to Liu Chuang, which was considered to thank Liu Chuang. After all, Liu Chuang did this to drag Cao Cao with his life to cover Lu Bu's evacuation. Although Liu Chuang is a junior in terms of seniority, he deserves their bow...

"Since that's the case, tomorrow morning, I will ask my wife to leave with my father-in-law.

Now Guangling is not very safe. I will ask Shulong to protect him. After arriving in Jiangdu, Shulong will leave with him and take care of him on the way. However, there is one thing I need to explain to my wife that Beihai Country is not very safe."

"ah?"

Mrs. Yan and the other two suddenly changed their color.

Liu Chuang took a deep breath and said, "Actually, I guessed that Cao Cao would not let his father-in-law go.

The four battles in Xuzhou should not be lived for a long time. Once Xuzhou falls into Cao Cao's hands, the Beihai Kingdom will be the first to bear the brunt and is feared by Cao Cao.

Don’t look at the Beihai Kingdom now that its troops are strong, but it has lost some foundation after all.

Besides, it is difficult to have too much room for development between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao... Once Yuan and Cao start war, Beihai will be affected by war. So as early as last year, I started to make arrangements. Once something happens in Xuzhou, I will be ready to abandon Beihai and go north... Now, my plan is still smooth, and most of the early preparations have been completed. I will start making arrangements when I return to Beihai."

Mrs. Yan's face looked a little ugly.

I thought I would be safe and sound after going to Beihai.

But after Liu Chuang said this, it might not be particularly safe there.

Yes, when sandwiched between Yuan and Cao, she will eventually be controlled by others. She can see that Liu Chuang is definitely not the kind of person who is willing to be restricted by others.

"Meng Yan, since Marquis Wen has already brought the Juque Sword with you, you will give it to you.

Such military and national affairs are not something that we women can intervene, you just need to arrange it... Alas, since we left Chang'an, we have wandered around. I thought we could find a place to stay in Xuzhou, but we would still have to leave in the end. We are all used to it, you don't have to worry about us. At that time, you just give orders, and you go there, and we can follow us."

"That father-in-law..."

"Meng Yan, can't you see that Wen Hou was already discouraged this time.

He is old and has passed the time to fight hard. He will not have any objections, and I will slowly explain this matter to him."

That's the best!

Liu Chuangsong breathed a sigh of relief and stood up to say goodbye.

However, as soon as he left, Mrs. Yan's face became gloomy.

She glanced at the maids who were serving in the hall. Diao Chan immediately understood what she meant, accused Mrs. Yan of the crime, and turned around and went out.

After a while, Mrs. Yan suddenly waved her hand and said, "You guys, go down."

The maids walked out of the living room with their orders, but as soon as they left the door, they saw more than a dozen guards step forward quickly, raised their swords and stabbed them into a pool of blood.

Diao Chan walked forward when she was a guard, took a look, and waved her hand to signal the guards to drag the maid's body away.

She slowly walked back to the living room, sat down gracefully, and nodded to Mrs. Yan.

A series of screams made Cao's face pale.

Mrs. Yan smiled and said to Diao Chan: "Meng Yan is young after all, and she doesn't speak at any time."

Diao Chan said, "You can't blame him, he treats us as a family, so he doesn't have that many warnings. But the more this happens, the more we have to pick up the gaps for him."

“Not bad, not bad.”

Mrs. Yan nodded repeatedly, her eyes suddenly turned and fell on Cao. "Sister, don't be afraid. The thing Meng Yan said just now is of great importance, and it is not advisable to be known to too many people. In this living room, it is enough for the three of us to know. It is better for the others to shut up. Meng Yan is dedicated to our considerations, so we naturally have to think about him... Sister, you have been here for a short time and don't know that people's hearts are sinister."

Cao's face turned pale, he forced a smile and nodded to show his understanding.

Mrs. Yan is warning her, just be at ease!

Think about it, it's normal.

Cao's age is probably a little older than Liu Chuang. In the past, Lu Bu lived in Xuzhou and looked extremely strong. Maybe she wouldn't have too many ideas. But now, Xuzhou has been lost, and Lu Bu is a little depressed, so it is hard to guarantee that she will not have any other thoughts.

Mrs. Yan used this method to warn her not to think randomly.

Seeing that Cao had already understood, Mrs. Yan did not make things difficult for her anymore, she stood up and said, "So, let's go and visit your husband..."

=

In October of the third year of Jian'an, Cao Cao fought eastward to Xuzhou, defeated Lu Bu, and went to Xiapi, and was about to win a complete victory.

But unexpectedly, after seizing Xia Pi, the war suddenly became a stalemate.

Liu Chuang's sudden appearance not only saved Lu Bu, but also took over all the power in Lu Bu's hands.

Although Lu Bu has few soldiers and horses left now, only three or four generals, only ten thousand soldiers... Even if Liu Chuang's troops are added, they are only more than ten thousand. Cao Cao has more than 80,000 troops in his army, and Chen Deng's troops stationed in Quyang have exceeded 100,000.

The two sides confronted each other on the Huai River, but Cao Cao found that if the conquest continued, the losses would be heavy.

Liu Chuang was in the south of the Huai River and destroyed all the three ferries in Huaipu, Huaiyin and Suiling, and burned all the ships on both sides of Huaiyin and Suiling, and broke the bridges on the river. Although Cao Cao had the advantage of military strength, he suffered from the lack of supplies for crossing the river. This also made Cao Cao particularly angry, but he had no way to do it.

But Liu Chuang knew very well that this confrontation would not last long.

The winter flood in the Huai River is about to pass. Once the winter flood is over, November will begin, and the water level on the river will drop. Cao Cao will definitely send troops to cross the river.

By then, with the troops in Liu Chuang's hands, he would not be able to compete with Cao Cao's 100,000 troops.

Not to mention, there is also a Guangling Chen family stuck inside.

The Guangling Chen family is deeply rooted in Guangling County. Chen Deng’s status in the hearts of the people of Guangling is also very high.

Now, the gentry in Guangling County has not taken action because the Cao army has not crossed the river yet.

Once Cao's army crosses the Huai River chasm, Guangling counties will have abnormal movements. By then, Liu Chuang and others will face a more sinister situation.

As time passed, Liu Chuang’s heart began to become impatient!

In the middle of October, a blizzard suddenly arrived, dyeing the land of the Huai River.

Lu Bu, Mrs. Yan and other families, as well as hundreds of wounded soldiers, quietly boarded three cargo ships in Jiangdu, heading out from Dongling Pavilion, and headed in the opposite direction.

At the same time, Liu Chuang ordered Xiahou Lan and Xu Sheng to lead 6,000 troops and horses to recruit nearly 10,000 civilians from Huaiyin and transport food and grass to Jiangdu.

In order to prevent attacks along the way, Liu Chuang recalled Zhang Liao from Suiling Ferry, stationed in Ping'an with fame, and wiped out bandits.

Two hundred thousand hu of grain and grass were continuously transported to Jiangdu.

Cao Cao, who was on the north bank of the Huai River, naturally heard the news and couldn't help feeling anxious.

On October 18, Cao Cao ordered the general Le Jin to smuggle the Huai River, but Liu Chuang noticed it and sent Xu Chu to attack on the shore, which led to the defeat of Cao's army.

Le Jin was almost killed by Xu Chu, and when he retreated, he fell into the river.

Fortunately, Xu Huang led his men to rescue Le Jin to death, which was considered to be the only way to save Le Jin's life... But after this incident, Cao Cao became more and more careful and did not dare to send troops easily. However, that was 200,000 hu of food and grass. What was Liu Chuang's idea?

"Lord, if I guess it's good, Liu Chuang probably wanted to use these 200,000 hu of grain and grass to exchange for reinforcements from Jiangdong."

Dong Zhao couldn't help but remind Cao Cao: "As far as I know, Liu Chuang and Sun Bofu seem to have some friendship, and Danyang County is short of food and grass this winter."

When Cao Cao heard this, his brows frowned.
