Hanoi, Wude.

The Cao army camp stood by the river and stretched for more than ten miles.

The Hanoi war has come to an end. Although Xue Hong and Yu Gu are still persisting, everyone can see that they are at the end of their power.

The city of Nanyang, which is Xiuwu Fu City, echoes each other with Xiuwu Xue Hong.

However, the army was shaken, and with the previous consecutive defeats, the rebels had no intention of continuing. Cao Cao also stopped the offensive just right. He ordered Xu Huang, Cao Hong to continue besieging Nanyang City, but he changed his previous tough attitude towards Xue Hong and sent Sima Lang to persuade him to surrender.

Sima Lang is not only from Hanoi, but also the eldest son of the Sima family, a prominent Hanoi clan.

The prestige that Sima enjoys in Hanoi is difficult for non-Hanoi people to understand. Xue Hong and Sima already had some intersections, and after seeing Sima Lang, their attitudes immediately became ambiguous. According to Cao Cao's speculation, Xue Hong had intended to surrender, but he was unable to make up his mind immediately.

Since that's the case, I'll just give it another push.

Cao Cao was also very pleased and ordered Cao Hong and Xu Huang to break Nanyang City within three days to intimidate Xue Hong.

He led his troops to Wude and stopped attacking Xiuwu's main city. Even if Xue Hong intends to attack Guan Gu, Xue Hong will not succeed with the ability of Xu Huang and Cao Hong.

As long as you kill Yu Gu, surrender Xue Hong, the battle in Hanoi can be quelled.

This battle started in early March and has been more than twenty days since then. Cao Cao really doesn't want to continue to delay...

However, a message from Xu Du made Cao Cao's previous joy disappear in a blink of an eye!

"That Chuang'er actually ran away?"

Cao Cao showed an incredible look on his face and said in a lost voice: "How could he let him run away? So many people stared at him. Could it be that he had wings on his ribs?"

"Lord, this is cunning." Dong Zhao said with a bitter look: "When he was rebuilding the mansion, he dug out a tunnel and went straight out of Changshe City. At that time, the president of the president also asked him that the location chosen by the Liu Mansion was remote and asked him to choose another place, but in the end... no one expected that he was so cunning. At that time, he was in Xudu and had already begun to plan this matter. The main point was a bit powerful."

"So where did he escape?"

"It is said to go north and cross the river."

"Cross the river?"

Cao Cao opened his eyes wide, "You mean, Chuang'er escaped from Hanoi?"

“That’s right!”

Cao Cao couldn't help but take a breath. In this way, Liu Chuang almost slipped away from under his nose.

No wonder, Hanoi is now in a war-torn period, and Cao Cao is busy destroying Jugu and Xue Hong, so there will inevitably be slack in other places. In this way, Liu Chuang and others can flee in fake defeated troops. It will not attract local attention at all. However, he does not return to Beihai and go north. What does it mean? Could it be that he wants to abandon the foundation of Beihai and surrender to Yuan Shao? Cao Cao is confused...

"Gongren, from Changshe to cross the river, there are many passes.

Xingshan Pass, Mi County and Xinzheng, Arc deputies, Dayishan and Chenggao... Why didn't there stop Liu Chuang and his group of people with so many passes?"

Dong Zhao showed a shy look and said softly: "I am negligent in my opinion, I am negligent!

Everyone thought that the enemy could not appear in Heluo, so it was inevitable that there would be slackness. And Chuang'er took this opportunity to catch us off guard. He first pretended to be the leader of General Miaocai, colluded with Wu Ban, the Marquis of Xingshan Pass, and broke through Xingshan Pass. Then he held the Sikong Army Talisman and passed through the Bingshui Ferry. According to General Miaocai, Chuang'er's soldiers took dangerous moves, and successively opened the Arc deity and Chenggao, and killed two generals Bian Xi and Cai Yang... and then took a ferry to cross the river at the Dahe Ferry, and burned the ferry on the north bank."

"Slowly, I remember that the ferries along the river have been conquered, so where does the ferry come from?"

"This... Wen Ruo has ordered Boning and Wen Lie to start an investigation. It is estimated that the ferries are likely to come from the upper reaches of the river and the Mengjin area."

Dong Zhao reported very thoroughly, while Guo Jia asked very carefully.

However, Cao Cao did not speak out, and took the letters sent by Xun Yu and Xiahou Yuan, pondering without saying a word...

"Gongren, please send someone to Mount Tai immediately, and stop preparing your army and horses with Zixiao, and order Zangba to station troops in Zhengrong Valley, and not to act rashly."

"Master..."

"This time Chuang'er has made a good plan, and you and I may have underestimated him."

Cao Cao stood up and handed the two letters in his hand to Guo Jia and Dong Zhao respectively.

Guo Jia and Dong Zhao took the letter and read it carefully, their faces showed surprise. Then, the two exchanged the letters and glanced at the contents on it.

"What does this Chuang'er mean?"

Dong Zhao said in surprise: "Wen Ruo said in the letter that he found the drawings of saddle stirrups in Chuang'er's study; Miaocai found more than a hundred horses with new saddle stirrups at the Dahe Ferry?"

"This is what he gave to me..."

A smile suddenly flashed in Cao Cao's eyes.

"Sometimes ago, I invited Xuande, Qingmei to make wine in Xudu, and comment on heroes.

At that time, Xuande and I talked about the heroes of the world, but I didn't mention this boy. Xuande didn't want to mention him, but I really meant to be contemptuous. But now it seems that no matter whether I or Xuande, I underestimate this. The heroes in the world are only Cao and the emperor's uncle, and Xuande is still a little lacking. This boy is bold and meticulous, and has the style of robbery in ancient times. This time he was willing to come to Xudu, so he avoided the danger of Beihai and could arrange it calmly. I think his layout in Beihai has ended, so he chose to escape Xudu at this time.

Time, courage, wisdom... all of these three are controlled."

After Cao Cao said that, he turned his head and smiled bitterly at Guo Jia, "If I had known this, I would have listened to Fengxiao's words, attacked Guangling and killed him."

Thinking back to the beginning, Cao Cao had a lot of opportunities to solve Liu Chuang.

But because of various concerns, I was unable to make up my mind in the end...

"Lord, when this child passed by the Ferry River, he held the Sikong Army Talisman and had to check it."

Cao Cao shook his head, "I already know the meaning of Gongren.

However, this matter cannot be investigated, otherwise it will cause too much turmoil. Now that Yuan Shao has destroyed Gongsun Bogui, he is eyeing me Xu Du. If Xu Du is in turmoil at this time, it will definitely give Yuan Shao an opportunity to take advantage of it. As for Wen Ruo, I believe this matter has nothing to do with him.

Not only Wen Ruo, I believe that Yuan Chang and others were also surprised by this courageousness.”

After Cao Cao finished speaking, he looked at Guo Jia.

But when Guo Jia nodded slightly, he expressed his approval.

"Then this saddle stirrup catalog..."

"Gongren, you will return to Xudu immediately and ask Wenruo to secretly create three thousand sets of saddle stirrups according to the catalogue and deliver them to Zihe for use.

In addition, President of the Life Chief properly protected the tombs of the Marquis of Zhongling and his wife, and allowed someone to take good care of the Liu Mansion's house.

Since Meng Yan's son presented such a great gift to me, I cannot let down his good wishes.

Also, I will send me the order to be appointed as the Jingzhao Yin, and I can go to Chang'an... It is also my kindness to repay Meng Yan's son."

Cao Cao issued a series of orders, and Dong Zhao kept them in mind and immediately took the order and left.

"Fengxiao, you think this arrangement is OK?"

Guo Jia pondered for a long time and said softly: "This is very good, so it will not continue to expand the situation.

But since Chuang'er has escaped, why don't you go with the flow and give him a name? Chuang'er's goal is already very clear. When he came to Xudu, he had the intention of procrastination. I think it was obvious that Beihai and Donglai were not enough to hold on... I can guess Chuang'er's plan in general. He would definitely use Beihai and Donglai to exchange Yuan Benchu ​​for a place to live.

With Chuang'er's intelligence, it is impossible to choose a wealthy place, and Yuan Benchu ​​would not agree.

So his goal is nothing more than You and two places. Donglai is on the coast. I have heard people say that he is building ships in secret, so I think the place he is most likely to choose is Youzhou. In the land of Youzhou, the only two Liaos are not valued by Yuan Benchu... Well, I believe that the place he chose should be in Liaodong and Liaoxi. Sikong simply gave him the position of prefect of western Liaoxi, and Yuan Benchu ​​would be afraid of it."

When Cao Cao heard this, he couldn't help laughing.

He pointed to Guo Jia and said, "Those who know me are filial piety."

But then, Cao Cao lowered his face and whispered: "But Chuang'er's escape this time requires help from many parties, so he must be guarded.

The most important thing is to figure out where the more than thirty ferries at Dahe Ferry came from? I think it is quite powerful to be able to collect more than thirty ferries at once... Such power is not done by the people of Yingchuan. I really want to know who is helping Liu Chuang.

Also, would this person also make a secret arrangement when he assassinated the pirate in the inn before?"

Guo Jia quickly stood up, "Don't worry, lord, Jia will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly."

Cao Cao nodded and sat down on the couch chair again.

He picked up the two letters from the desk and read them again, "Chuang'er is really a concern, but since you have chosen to go north... Haha, I believe that it will not take long to sleep or eat. Haha, I want to see how you can perform this time. Well, since you are determined to do so, let me go, don't let me down..."

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

At the end of March of the fourth year of Jian'an, Liu Chuang fled from Xudu.

At the same time, the Beihai National migration operation came to an end. As Yuan Tan entered Beihai, all Liu Chuang's troops retreated to Donglai.

Such a change surprised countless people.

Thinking back to the beginning, when Liu Chuang entered Xudu, many people thought that there would be a reduction in the world of one prince.

Donglai of Beihai should be the thing in Cao Cao's pocket, but Liu Chuang didn't want to move the world and tie his safety to his body, which made everyone lose fear of Beihai. It was also taking this opportunity that Liu Chuang successfully completed the delivery of Beihai Kingdom with Yuan Shao.

Yangzhou, Wujun.

Sun Ce threw the letter in his hand on the desk and couldn't help but sigh to the sky: "I really underestimated this flying bear."

Zhou Yu sat aside, his face also turned gloomy.

A layer of haze was shrouded on his handsome face...

"Bo Fu, now Feixiong is not your enemy. We were ordered to attack him before, so we had to do it. I think he knew it clearly.

Now, we should still place our energy on Yuzhang.

Liu Yao needs to be resolved as soon as possible and the war in Jiangdong is pacified... In addition, Kuaiji Shanyue has become a confidant, so you can order Gong Miao to go out to fight and pacify Shanyue as soon as possible. As for Feixiong... people can pay attention to his next development. If he can still rise, send someone to get along with him; if he cannot rise, why should Bo Fu worry?"

After hearing this, Sun Ce couldn't help but nod.

"In this way, the Yuzhang war was handed over to Gongjin.

I will personally supervise the battle against Kuaiji and end the Shanyue matter as soon as possible... However, the last time I sent someone to Jiaozhou, I was rejected by Shi Xie. Gongjin thought what should I do?"

Jiaozhou!
