Cao Cao knew what he was facing now.

The army was in Jiangling from time to time and there were epidemics, but it was just a sporadic incident at that time, and he didn't take it seriously. After all, it was not suitable for the land and land during the expedition for thousands of miles, so it was normal for the Northern Army to get sick.

But this time it's different.

After entering Wulin, a large number of Northern Army soldiers began to have severe disease and epidemic reactions, and there were many people who directly lost their combat power. It was said that this was the local plague god in Jingxiang. Some people even said that Cao Cao went south to anger Jiang Shen, which caused Cao's army to suffer a catastrophe.

Cao Cao was suspicious. Although he was still calm on the surface, he was really wary of his old classmate.

The reason why Cai Mao was willing to obey Cao Cao was completely shocked by Cao Cao's powerful troops. Before Cao Ren's defeat, Cai Mao had already felt Cao Cao's weakness and began to gradually show his madness to provoke Cao Cao. He also used Guan Ping's freedom to come and go in Jiangling to dig the governor of Jingzhou from Cao Cao and gain the power to firmly sit in Jingzhou.

Now, Cao's army is attacked by the plague god, and the whole army is in panic. What's even more terrible is that the ships around are under the control of Cai Mao. This old classmate is willing to fight and will turn the finger on his finger. It is another question whether he will turn the finger on his face to Cao Cao.

Therefore, Cao Cao praised Cai Mao's previous battle, gave Cai Mao greater autonomy, and did not allow Cao Ren to interfere in Cai Mao's decision-making, and urged Cheng Yu to march quickly in order to defeat the Sun and Liu coalition head-on.

It can be said that this is the most difficult and cowardly battle Cao Cao has ever fought in his life. He did not even feel such a great pressure when he was in Guandu, but he still believes that he is the final winner.

He had already given Cai Mao everything he wanted in the name of the court, and he believed that Cai Mao would definitely not be at ease to leave Liu Bei, the enemy in the world.

As long as there is a little hope to eliminate Liu Bei, Cai Mao will do his best, and this hope is...

"Report to the Prime Minister! The long article is here!" Xun You, who was always steady, quickly opened Cao Cao's military tent and dragged a man soaked and dressed as a fisherman into the tent.

Xu Chu followed behind him but there was no stop. Cao Cao immediately knew that it was good news.

"Close the door!" Cao Cao waved his hand and rushed to the front quickly, pulling the fisherman's cold collar, and said in a trembling voice, "What's wrong, what's wrong!"

After Liu Biao died of illness, Cao Cao really thought that the world was settled, but he never expected that Liu Bei, who had been forced into a desperate situation, could burst out such amazing power and get himself into a desperate situation. Cao Cao had been trying hard to keep himself calm these days, but when he saw Chen Qun's entourage, he was still surprised and could not wait to seek the long-awaited good news.

The follower named Chen Gu was a little flustered under Cao Cao's murderous gaze. Xun You handed Chen Qun's letter to Cao Cao for him. Cao Cao subconsciously took a deep breath and spread the letter open. After reading the text under the swaying fire, his hands couldn't help but tremble.

"Okay, okay! I didn't expect that there would be a warrior like Yun Tanzhi in the world. With this person, a big thing can be accomplished and the Han Dynasty can be prosperous!"

Chen Qun's personal identity has been recognized by Xun You. The letter was clearly written by Chen Qun. It clearly mentioned Yunshan's contributions, which made Cao Cao unable to help but praise him and pass the letter to Xun You to watch.

When Xun You heard Chen Gu say on the road that Yunshan surrounded Xiakou and did not need reinforcements, he sighed that there were such people in this world. It was really my destiny. But he spread out the letter and looked carefully, but his face suddenly became gloomy.

Chen Qun's words were filled with a strong sense of sarcasm and unwillingness, and there were obviously many secret notes hidden in his brushwork, indicating that the letter was forced to be written.

Xun You couldn't help but sweat profusely, rubbed his hands and lifted Chen Gu's collar, and said in a cold voice: "Tell me, what's going on?"

Cao Cao was shocked and quickly grabbed the letter. This time he realized that Chen Qun's speech was not as good as usual.

Could it be... Could it be that Yunshan has rebelled?

Chen Gu was frightened in front of Cao Cao's murderous gaze, and Xun You's beautiful face was already covered with ferocious expressions, and he almost roared at Chen Gu's face:

"What the hell is wrong? What the hell is wrong! You said!"

The angry roar shocked everyone in the Cao army camp subconsciously shook their heads. Although Cao Cao's voice had not been heard, everyone knew that the elderly hero was holding back his anger.

Although Chen Gu had made sufficient preparations before, he was still shocked in front of Cao Cao's terrifying eyes, his face was pale and almost fainted. Cao Cao waved his hand and signaled Xun You to calm down, asking Xu Chu to deliver wine and food.

He sat on a bed, suppressing his anxiety and said in a hoarse voice:

"Tell me, what's wrong? You tell me the truth and I will never pursue it."

Chen Gu came to his senses, and he quickly kowtowed repeatedly and wailed:

"Prime Minister, I deserve to die. Please save my master."

Chen Gu told Cao Cao that Yunshan had once surrounded Xiakou and launched an attack, but because Zhao Yan, a native of Yingchuan, refused to help, Sun Quan's reinforcements finally arrived. He defeated Yunshan as if he had defeated Cao Ren before, Huang Zhong was captured, and Chen Qun was also caught. Now Yunshan was defeated and had to retreat back to Shiyang, with less than a thousand people left in the entire army.

"Liu Bei, Liu Bei threatened his master to write a letter to the Prime Minister to report his safety. For the sake of his master's life, I can only deliver the letter as they said, and ask the Prime Minister to give him a slight message."

Yunshan was defeated!

Although I heard that Yunshan was inappropriate when he attacked Xiakou before, because the war was progressing so smoothly, Cao Cao's expectations for Yunshan were getting higher and higher. This time, he forced troops to open up the connection with Yunshan and defeated Sun and Liu in one fell swoop.

But now Yunshan is defeated and even Chen Qun is captured, which is undoubtedly a major blow to Cao Cao's confidence, making the already unclear situation worse.

Xun You's mind was turning quickly, and he whispered in Cao Cao's ear:

"Prime Minister, Liu Bei captured the long article but did not want people to know. He must have wanted to make a big fuss about the long article."

Before, Guan Ping's loyal minister's character was quite successful, and Zhao Yan's attempt to miss the opportunity to fight was conclusive, so neither the suspicious Cao Cao nor the witty Xun You thought that the problem was Yunshan.

They continued to interrogate Chen Gu, who took out another piece of silk from his arms with a sad face.

"Before I left, Fu Chanjun gave this to me and asked me to hand it over to Governor Cai Mao and Cai. I thought there was something wrong with this, so I dared not obey my orders. I wanted to throw it directly into the river, but... I would rather give it to the Prime Minister."

Xun You sneered:

"Public ti is resourceful and knows that you are loyal to Changwen, so he will not give this book to Cai Mao, but it is his wish."

Cao Cao put the letter on the table and asked Xun Youtong to read it, but he saw that although they knew the words on the letter, they could not understand them at all.

Xun You watched for a while and suddenly realized that this might be written based on the pronunciation of Chu Manyu, so he quickly found soldiers in Jingzhou to try to unravel the Manyu.

But the soldiers in the world played chess, and the illiteracy rate of the Jingzhou army was also very high. There were a few barbarian soldiers, but they didn't know how to translate the text into Chinese, and it suddenly became a stalemate again.

"Or... please come Degui!" Xun You said dejectedly.

Cao Cao and Cai Mao have a very delicate relationship now. Of course, they are unwilling to bow to Cai Mao, but he judged that there must be very important content in this letter, so he could only nod and said:

"Okay, we will go to Degui camp in person!"

"Prime Minister..." Xun You smiled bitterly, "I'll go."

"Gou went there personally, could Degui still kill me?"

"Prime Minister, forget it, be careful of everything."

·

That night, Xun You rushed to Cai Mao camp with Fu Xun's letter and asked to answer the words on the letter.

Cai Mao was very polite. He directly called a few Jingzhou soldiers who were proficient in barbarian language. In order to express that he would never interfere, he also asked these Jingzhou soldiers to follow Xun You back to Cao Jun camp and answer the contents of the letter in front of Cao Cao.

Cai Mao's attitude made Cao Cao very happy, but the credible content made him feel as if he fell into an ice cave and was a little confused for a moment.

In the letter, Fu Xun told Cai Mao very desperately that he did not want to follow Liu Bei at all, but as Cai Mao said before, the senior executives of Cao Cao's army had loyal fans of Liu Bei, which allowed Guan Ping to quickly sneak into Jiangling and kidnap his whole family.

Originally, the offensive between Yunshan and Huang Zhong was very smooth. Fu Xun thought that the day he had escaped was not far away, but unexpectedly, Yunshan and Huang Zhong suddenly made mistakes one after another. Huang Zhong and Chen Qun were captured together. Only Yunshan fought to the death to escape. Now he may not be able to leave Shiyang because he does not have support.

Fu Xun also angrily scolded Cai Mao for being too stupid and loyal to Cao Cao in his letter. Even if he was not killed by Cao Cao, the people Liu Bei arranged by Cao Cao would sooner or later find a way to get rid of Cai Mao.

In the end, the soldiers in charge of the translation were already dissatisfied. They knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly and did not dare to say more. Cao Cao was both shocked and angry. He suppressed the fear in his heart and said in a trembling voice:

"Continue to say, continue to say, what else is written later?"

Several soldiers kept trembling, and under Cao Cao's repeated pressure, they finally translated the following content tremblingly.

"The famous scholars under Cao Cao looked down on Cao Cao's origins at all, and they couldn't stand him even more on his own and Xiahou family.

After he killed Kong Rong, these famous scholars were afraid that it would be their turn in the future, so they had already started to get along with Sun Liu. However, Cao Cao was still in the dark and even trusted those people very much, believing that they would never rebel."
