Cao Cao was a ruthless man. In order to protect himself, he could kill his old friend Lu Boshe's family. Afterwards, he found out that it was a misunderstanding and even killed Lu Boshe whom he met when he left, with the purpose of avoiding him from revealing his whereabouts.

Two hundred thousand to two hundred thousand, he might be able to sacrifice Cao Chun’s for the final victory.

But at this stage, Liu Ming's side has the right time, place, and people, but he has not yet eaten all the way, and has not eaten any grains of rice. He is a tired teacher against a trump card who has been prepared for a long time. This is something that only a fool can do, especially he can see that he has no bargaining chips at all.

He understood one thing more, that is, even if Hanzhong and Shangyong were attacked, Liu Ming could still mobilize his troops and fight towards his territory from all directions. Perhaps, now that the commander is already on the road, he will definitely not be able to catch up with him.

When I go back now, I may be able to take away enough people and supplies. If I delay it, I will not talk about whether the supplies can be taken away, but I will only talk about what I can get after a big battle with Liu Ming.

All the troops on both sides were destroyed, and I was lucky. Then I prayed that other forces would destroy Liu Ming to avenge him, or finally defeat Liu Ming, but could not hurt his muscles. However, in the strong battle, his troops were weakened to the extreme. In the end, Sun Quan or Liu Bei took the opportunity to sweep over, whether he could still lead a group of wounded generals to turn the world under the triple attack of them, and even the remaining troops of Liu Ming.

The reason why the less can win more can become a legend is that it has too little chance of appearing. Cao Cao is not a person who will use his future to gamble, so he knows how to choose at this moment.

"I said to my son-in-law, we haven't had a drop of water in and we haven't eaten. At least we can leave after we have eaten." Cao Cao quickly offered his own price.

"Now everyone is a cultivator. I think the physical fitness is not that bad. If you leave Xuzhou, your baggage troops should be able to catch up with you. It will not be too late to have a meal at that time." Liu Ming would not be fooled.

Let them eat and drink and nourish their energy, and then take the opportunity to launch an attack?

"Remember, after Zihe is cured, I will send it back to me. If you want Sun Quan or Liu Bei to be seriously injured, please kill less of your soldiers." Cao Cao turned around and was about to leave. Before leaving, he shouted at the place where Liu Ming was.

Immediately, there was no intention of staying, so I rode the horse and left.

Xiahou Dun and others could not have imagined that this war would end in such a frustrating way. However, since Cao Cao spoke, their subordinates were unable to refute something. The situation was stronger than others. Thinking about his property and possessions in Xuchang and other places, these generals might be a little unwilling to accept it.

The only thing that can be thankful is that Liu Ming has always protected his private property well and should not have found someone to copy their belongings. However, thinking that he might have to start over in another place, he felt very uncomfortable.

Even so, the large army still had to retreat, including the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, who immediately took the body of their comrades, stared at Liu Ming with his eyes tightly, and quickly chased the large army.

"Prepare now and launch an attack on Yanzhou and Runan. Huang Zhong, are you tired?" Liu Ming breathed a sigh of relief and asked Huang Zhong.

"This little thing will be exhausted if you make it happen." Huang Zhong naturally would not miss the opportunity to lead the army.

"You come to command the troops, and you will be able to attack Shangyong directly to ensure that our friendly troops can return safely. I believe that Shangyong Prefect Huo Jun's ability to defend the city, but I will not be at ease even if the crisis has not been resolved for a day." Liu Ming nodded and gave him an order.

"Here." There is nothing to say. As long as Huang Zhong can fight a battle without regrets, he will be satisfied.

After giving Huang Zhong the order, Liu Ming took his own personal guards and brought Cao Chun with him and entered Pei County. He knew that Zhang Liao and Pang De would join the ranks of foreign battles tomorrow, but let's talk to them tonight to establish a good relationship with the monarch and his subjects.

The two of them were naturally flattered by Liu Ming's visit. The former was a surrendered general, and instinctively they felt that they were shorter than other generals. But they didn't expect that it was not only Pang De who ignored his identity, but Liu Ming also showed his importance to him.

Liu Ming was originally Lu Bu's son-in-law and was also the successor designated by Lu Bu. Now that he saw that he attached so much importance to him, Zhang Liao rarely had the urge to "died a scholar for his confidant."

Pang De may have been used to contacting Liu Ming, so he did not show too much restraint. He was just very serious and serious, admonishing Liu Ming not to go to the battlefield casually. The situation before was really dangerous, and even he was sweating coldly at that time.

After simply staying in Pei County for one night, Liu Ming took his own guard and began to return to the north.

However, Pang De immediately rushed towards Runan with his men and horses, and finally attacked Yanzhou and Runan with other people.

Cao Cao was very relaxed and retreated directly to Yiyang with his troops. Only then did he reorganize the soldiers and set up a formation as a resistance. He told Liu Ming very clearly that he needed a springboard, and here he was, if Liu Ming continued to pursue, he would not mind fighting to the death with Liu Ming.

Liu Ming did not pursue, or the large army had already begun to attack in the direction of Nanyang, and would then go along Nanyang to Shangyong for support.

After confirming this, Cao Cao decisively breathed a sigh of relief, and led his troops to cross Xiangjiang and Dajiang, and launched an attack on Jiangxia and Changsha areas across the Yangtze River.

Most of Liu Bei's troops were concentrated in Shangyong at this moment. Cao Cao rushed thousands of miles away, but he was a coincidence. Before Liu Bei's troops arrived, he successfully seized control of Changsha and Jiangxia, and then divided into three groups to attack the four counties in Jingnan.

Three months passed in a blink of an eye. Cao Cao had controlled the four counties in Jingnan and strangled the passage to the north of Jiaozhou. During this period, Changsha became his new capital and of course the new capital of the Han Dynasty.

Emperor Xian of Han originally planned to leave it to Liu Ming, but later, for some reason, he stayed with him.

The resettlement of the four counties and the relocation of population began step by step later. During this period, Liu Ming's army was confronting Liu Bei's army, and no one had the time to come and care about him.

"That son-in-law is probably thinking of me as the pioneer of the Han Dynasty..." One day, Cao Cao sighed after looking at the Han Dynasty map and military layout map.

"Jiazhou Yueguo has been defeated, and there is not much population there. Just need to win over the Yue people who fled into the mountains to gain a firm foothold in Jiaozhou. At that time, whether it is to attack the Nanzhong area north or to enter the south, our territory can continue to expand.

At that time, we will be between Liu Bei and Sun Quan and become a nail stuck here. With our nail, Liu Ming's pressure can be reduced by at least 50%. The most amazing thing is that many of our supplies need to be purchased from him, and they will become dependent on him without realizing it..." Xun You said regretfully.

"There is no need to blame the world so much. There has been no war in the four counties in Jingnan. Even if it is a little more desolate, it still has great potential. Besides, there are so many soldiers and people who are willing to follow us south, so we may not have the day of a rise.

Besides, we did share the pressure for Liu Ming, but he also shared the pressure for us. It can be said that as long as he launches an attack on the other two forces, the other party will come to please us as soon as possible. At that time, we will be flattered to each other and will get a lot of benefits to develop ourselves.

In the end, we did leave Yanzhou and Yuzhou, but there were also the secret chess we arranged in the two places. As long as Liu Ming didn't find them all for a day, it would be much more convenient when we returned north.

Now we are not thinking about these things. Our focus is on how to include Jiaozhou. As for the others, we will slowly consider it in the future. "Cao Cao was very open-minded.

"Wei." Xun You didn't know how to say anything, so he bowed his hands and immediately went to work hard on his own affairs.

With a "touch." Cao Cao smashed the desk in front of him into pieces, but that was done when Xun You left and there was no one around him.

Cao Cao had never been so open-minded in his heart, but he didn't want his ministers to discover his emotions.
