After speaking, Liu Bei gently took off the cloak behind him, put it on Zhao Yun in front of him, and then patted Zhao Yun on the shoulder.

"My lord's kindness, Zhao Yun can't repay it even though he will die forever." Seeing Liu Bei's kindness, Zhao Yun immediately said to Liu Bei with a bit of excitement on his face.

"My lord, General Yide is back!" At this moment, Chen Dao who was beside Liu Bei found Zhang Fei who was rushing back, and said to Liu Bei who was beside him calmly.

"Yide, aren't you going to resist Cao Cao?" Liu Bei asked with a puzzled expression as he watched Zhang Fei rush back with hundreds of cavalry behind him.

Zhang Fei looked at Liu Bei in front of him, chuckled, and then told Liu Bei all about how he pretended to be in an ambush, scared Cao Cao off, and broke the bridge.

Hearing what Zhang Fei said, Liu Bei's face suddenly became serious, and he said to Zhang Fei in a serious tone: "Yide, although you used tricks to scare Cao Cao away, but your act of breaking the bridge is really a mistake. care about."

"My lord, why is this?" Zhang Fei looked at Liu Bei with some doubts after hearing what Liu Bei said, not knowing why he did something wrong.

Liu Bei looked at Zhang Fei in front of him, and said to Zhang Fei with some emotion: "Cao Cao has always been resourceful and suspicious. If you don't tear down a bridge, Cao Cao may be suspicious and afraid that there will be an ambush in it, so he will not dare to enter the army. Now If you break down the bridge, he will definitely expect our army to be weak and be afraid, so he will definitely speed up his march to catch up with him, how will our army resist with his army of hundreds of thousands?"

Hearing what Liu Bei said, Zhang Fei's complexion suddenly became a little heavy, his eyes rolled, and Liu Bei, who looked a little embarrassed, asked, "Then what should we do now?"

"Now that you have torn down the bridge, I'm afraid Cao Cao won't be able to catch up in a short time. Let's stop it now and try to reach Jiangxia as soon as possible." Liu Bei sighed helplessly after hearing Zhang Fei's words, and then his tone was a little bit Said to Zhang Fei calmly.

So Liu Bei took Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and others and fled to the south quickly.

Cao Cao retreated for a while, and suddenly seemed to come back to his senses, and quickly raised his hand to stop the retreating army.

"That's right, I, Mr. Cao, have hundreds of thousands of troops, how can I be afraid of Liu Bei's army of less than ten thousand." Cao Cao said calmly when he came back to his senses.Then he quickly dispatched Cao Ren beside him to investigate in Changbanpo.

Cao Ren quickly sent his soldiers back to report to Cao Cao: "There is no one on the other side of the bridge, and Zhang Fei has torn down the bridge."

Cao Cao's face turned cold when he heard such a return, and he said in a hoarse voice, "I must have been scared when I flew off the bridge. Our army has been told that I will order an army with a speed difference of [-] to build three pontoon bridges." .Today we will cross the river and capture Liu Bei!"

So Cao Cao's army hurriedly built a pontoon bridge, and countless troops passed by the pontoon bridge, and marched towards the south quickly under the leadership of Cao Cao.

When the army led by Liu Bei arrived at Hanjin, they suddenly heard a burst of noise behind them. Looking back, they saw dust flying behind them, drums beating sky high, and shouts shaking the ground.

Seeing countless Cao Jun chasing after him, Liu Bei looked at the vast river in front of him, and Cao Cao's army gradually catching up with him, and said with some emotion: "Now there is a big river in front, and there are chasing soldiers behind. Is this the fate of my Liu Xuande?"

At this time, Cao Cao led the army behind him and slowly caught up with Liu Bei.Looking at Liu Bei who was blocked by the big river in the distance, Cao Cao showed a smug smile, and then gave Dala orders to the soldiers behind him.

"Now Liu Bei is like a fish in a cauldron and a tiger in a trap. If you don't capture him at this time, it will be like letting a fish into the sea and a tiger returning to the mountain. All the generals obey the order and capture Liu Bei for me. Whoever catches Liu Bei will The reward is one hundred taels, and the officer will be promoted to three ranks." At this time, Cao Cao pointed the whip in his hand at Liu Bei in the distance with a hint of joy on his face, and said to his generals in a hoarse tone.

Following Cao Cao's order, all the generals under Cao Cao rushed towards Liu Bei, holding the weapons in their hands, and leading the troops behind them, as if they had been spayed with chicken blood.

"Haha, my lord, worry-free, I've been waiting here for a long time." Liu Bei watched Cao Cao's army approaching him in the distance, and his face suddenly became serious. Just when Liu Bei was about to despair, a burst of noise came from afar. roar.

Liu Bei looked into the distance, and saw a group of soldiers and horses coming out from the back of the hillside. The leader, holding a lance in his hand, with a face like a red date and a long smooth beard on his chest, was riding a yellow puma. , Killed out with tens of thousands of soldiers behind him.

This person is none other than Guan Yu and Guan Yunchang who asked for reinforcements first.

"Guan Yunchang? Could it be that there is another ambush here?" Cao Cao looked at Guan Yu who suddenly came out, his face was a little dignified, and his tone was a little hoarse.

On the other side, Liu Bei had a tinge of joy on his face, and said in a somewhat posthumous tone: "Fortunately, there is Yun Chang, otherwise I will become Cao Cao's prisoner today!"

At this moment, Liu Bei suddenly heard the sound of drums on the river in the distance. Liu Bei looked towards the river, and saw many boats suddenly appeared on the river. There were as many boats as ants, sailing with the wind, towards him Come here.

"My lord, are you safe?" Liu Bei took a closer look and saw two people standing on top of the leading ship. The leading man was holding a feather fan, wearing a Tsing Yi, with a faint smile on his mouth. This person is not Zhuge Liang. or who?

Standing beside Zhuge Liang was a white-clothed general with an extremely refined expression. This person was the eldest son of Jingzhou Shepherd Liu Biao and the protagonist Liu Qi of Jiang Xia.

"Uncle, my nephew came late to the rescue. I hope my uncle will forgive me. Uncle come on board quickly!" Liu Qi looked at Liu Bei in front of him with a kind smile, and said to Liu Bei in a gentle tone.

Liu Bei listened to the young master Liu Qi's words, with a grateful smile on his face, he said to Liu Qi with a little excitement: "If it weren't for the young master's help, I'm afraid I would die at the hands of Cao thief today."

So, Guan Yu led his soldiers to resist Cao Cao's army, while Liu Bei slowly took the soldiers and his men behind him onto the ship.

Seeing that Liu Bei had almost retreated and killed Cao Cao's army, Guan Yu boarded the boat and headed south with the boat.

Chapter 623 The Great Power Comes to Cao

Cao Cao looked at the boats on the river, sailing towards the south, and suddenly his face became a little dignified, but he was helpless.

"That's all, let them survive for a few days!" Cao Cao looked at the ant-like ship, but he had no choice but to sigh, and said in a self-comforting tone.

"Li Tong!" Cao Cao looked at the general beside him, hesitated for a moment, and shouted to Li Tong who was holding a spear in a heavy tone.

When Li Tong heard Cao Cao calling him, he quickly stood up from his seat, and said to Cao Cao in a heavy tone, "I wonder what the prime minister wants to do? The general is willing to obey the prime minister's order."

"Lead [-] cavalry all the way to the west, and try to take Jiangling back to me." Cao Cao looked at Li Tong in front of him, and said to Li Tong in a calm tone.

So Li Tong led the cavalry towards Jiangling overnight.

Deng Yi, the governor of Jiangling City, don't drive Liu Xian. Hearing that Xiangyang City had surrendered to Cao Cao, Cao Cao actually captured Xiangyang Fancheng.

The next day, Cao Cao returned northward to Xiangyang with his army. General Xiahou Dun and military adviser Xun You waited for Cao Cao at the city gate with Wenwu who had surrendered from Jingzhou and the new Jingzhou shepherd Liu Cong.

Cao Cao looked at Xiahou Dun and Xun You who came out of the city to greet him, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Prime Minister, this person is Liu Biao's wife, Cai Shi, and her youngest son, Liu Cong!" Looking at Cao Cao's smiling face, Xun You introduced to Cao Cao the civil and military soldiers who surrendered in Jingzhou.

After listening to Xun You's words, Cao Cao turned his eyes to the mother and son, looked at Cai Shi and Liu Cong calmly, and found that Cai Shi's charm was still there, and suddenly a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, looking at the Liu Cong, that frightened look.Cao Cao lowered his head, stroked his beard, and thought about what to do with the mother and son.

"Bring this pair of mother and son back to Xuchang, and His Majesty will order it at that time." Cao Cao stroked his beard, thought for a while, and finally said calmly.

After listening to Cao Cao's words, Cai Shi and Liu Cong silently lowered their heads, and stepped aside.

"This person is General Cai Mao. It is his strength that the land of Xiangyang can be owned by the Prime Minister." At this time, Xun You looked at Cao Cao in front of him with a faint smile, and calmly introduced the armored general Cai Mao. .

"Cai Mao has met Prime Minister Cao!" At this moment, General Cai Hao saw Cao Cao's calm face, knelt down on the ground, and said to Cao Cao with a little excitement.

Cao Cao looked at the person in front of him and thought for a while.Although Cao Cao is a bit disgusted with such a person, but this person has made great achievements, I am afraid that killing him will damage his reputation, and this person is in charge of the Jingzhou navy, and he is proficient in the navy. If he wants to attack Jiangdong at that time, he just needs to use this person.

"General, I have surrendered according to the destiny of heaven. The general is my hero. Now he is enshrined as Marquis of Guannei, the prefect of Xiangyang, and in charge of the Jingzhou navy." Cao Cao looked at the general Cai Hao who was kneeling on the ground, hesitated for a moment, and then his face revealed With a false smile, he said to General Cai Mao who was kneeling on the ground in front of him.

After hearing Cao Cao's words, General Cai Hao quickly got up from the ground, and then said to Cao Cao with a grateful tone: "Thank you, Prime Minister, thank you, Prime Minister!"

"Prime Minister, this person is Kuai Liang, a well-known scholar in Jingxiang, and his two brothers Kuai Yue!" Xun You smiled again and introduced the Kuai brothers in front of Cao Cao.

Cao Cao looked at the two gentlemen in front of him. Cao Cao knew these two brothers when he was working under He Jin, but the three of them were not very familiar with each other at that time, but Cao Cao knew that these two were very talented. It was the two of them who contributed to Liu Biao's ability to quickly control Jingzhou when he rode into Jingzhou.

"I have met Prime Minister Cao!" Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue looked at Cao Cao with a smile in front of them calmly, and said to Cao Cao calmly.

"Haha! I don't like Jingzhou, I like Kuailiang and Kuaiyue!" Cao Cao burst out laughing when he saw the two in front of him, and said to them calmly.

"Thank you, Prime Minister, for your attention!" The two of them, God, Cao Cao said so, their faces did not change much, but with a faint smile, they said to Cao Cao in a calm tone.

Next, Xiahou Dun and Xun You finished introducing the civil and military men in Jingzhou. Cao Cao looked at the civil and military men in Jingzhou, and suddenly thought of a person, and asked Xiahou Dun with a strange expression, "I heard that there is a general in Jingzhou named Wenpin, why don't you see him now? "

Xiahou Dun frowned immediately when he heard what Cao Cao said, and said in a submissive tone: "Prime Minister, since our army entered the city, Nai Wenpin has closed his house and never seen anyone. He is extremely arrogant."

"I didn't expect this to happen. Take me to see it." Cao Cao said to Xiahou Dun with a strange expression after hearing what Xiahou Dun said.
