"Damn, Zilong, where do you want to go? The lord won't do anything to her. The lord likes Zhuge Liang, his brother and younger brother very much. Zhuge Liang was also my classmate, and I won't hurt his wife. I mean that this matter should be decided by the lord. Even if the lord has a thief, he will not touch her. I can guarantee this."

"That's good, what you said, then you have to remember to be optimistic. You have a good relationship with your lord, so you can't let your lord do whatever you want!"

"The lord is not a lustful person. I have a good relationship with the lord. Who told you this?"

"I can't smell it?"

"You can't even smell the dog's nose, okay, haha..."

Seeing Cao Cao and his men retreating quickly, with the addition of Cao Ren's tens of thousands of troops, Cao Cao was more confident in his safety. However, after Wulin was attacked by the ambush arranged by Zhou Yu, there were only more than 10,000 people left by his side. As a result, when he arrived in Yiling, he was attacked again. In addition, the combat effectiveness of the Jiangdong army was also very strong, and the morale of the Cao army was low, so in the end, there were only more than 1,000 troops around Cao Cao, many of them were Cao Cao's personal soldiers.

Cao Cao looked at the counselors and personal soldiers around him and felt bleeding, but he still pretended to be nothing, "Haha, everyone, we are all safe and sound. When we return to the Central Plains, we will regroup. In less than three to five years, we will be a million troops again. Then we will destroy the scumbags like Sun and Liu!"

Seeing that Xu Chu, Cheng Yu and others were very depressed, Cao Cao saw that the soldiers around him were not in good spirits, and he said, "Everyone should take a break first, and there will be no pursuers anymore. The people in Jiangdong have already shown their faces along the way." Then he asked Cao Ren: "Zixiao, do you have anything else to eat? Take it out. After eating, we will pass Jingzhou and retreat north from Xiangyang in one breath."

Everyone brought a lot of dry food on their bodies, so everyone took it out and distributed a little to everyone. After eating the dry food, Cao Cao greeted everyone, "Everyone continue to retreat north!"

Cao Ren asked, "Lord, which road should we take? Nanjun is no longer ours. We can only go to Xiangyang!"

Guo Jia said next to him: "Lord, as General Zixiao said, Nanjun should have been taken down by Liu Bei. We will go to Nanjun now, and then head north and bypass outside the city. Even if Liu Bei knew that it was us, as long as we did not enter the city, they would not attack us. This would be safer than other places. The team in Jiangdong should not stay near Nanjun anymore."

Cao Cao immediately accepted it as soon as he heard this and said, "According to Fengxiao's meaning, go to Nanjun and detour north outside the city!"

He soon walked to the vicinity of Huarong Road. Of course, Guan Yu would not stay here now. Cao Ren still asked Cao Cao which path he would take as usual: "Lord, there is a path and a road here. Which one should we choose? There are some wolf smoke on the path!"

Cao Cao laughed and said, "I didn't expect that Sun Quan had even arranged an ambush here, so let's take a small path!"

Cao Ren said, "Lord, there are ambushes on the small road!"

"There is a wolf smoke that does not mean there are ambushers, as they are false and real. Let's go to this Huarong Road, and the ambushers must be on the main road."

At this time, Guo Jia also fell asleep and was carried by four soldiers on a simple stretcher, so Cao Cao made the decision by himself and everyone set out to Huarong Road.

When Cao Cao led his men to the dangerous place on Huarong Road, a team emerged from the front blocking the way, under the banner of King Shan, and the two banners read: "Eliminate violence and safe good" and "Perform the way for heaven".

Cao Ren ran over to report to Cao Cao, saying that a bandit had blocked the road, and Xu Chu was violent and said, "Prime Minister, I'll go and send them away. Even the bandits dare to provoke us!"

At this time, Guo Jia also woke up and said to Xu Chu: "Zhongkang, come here, I'll tell you something!" Cao Cao was very happy to see Guo Jia wake up and said: "Fengxiao, it's okay. If we insist on sticking, we can stop bumping."

Guo Jia looked at Cao Cao and said, "Lord, I will explain some private matters to Zhongkang. It's okay to delay for a while." Cao Cao said to Guo Jia as if he trusted himself, and laughed and said, "You guys say it!" Then he walked to the side and talked to Cao Ren. Xu Chu was a little hesitant after hearing Guo Jia's words, but after Guo Jia said a few more words, Xu Chu nodded firmly, then walked to Cao Cao and said, "Lord, I'm going to take action!"

Cao Cao laughed and said, "Zhongkang, go and get these bandits..." Before Xu Chu could say anything, he knocked Cao Cao unconscious with a knife. Cao Ren next to him immediately cursed, "Xu Chu, what are you doing?" He was about to get angry when he drew his sword.

Xu Chu immediately said, "It's not what I want to do, it's what Guo Jijiu meant!"

Everyone looked at Guo Jia together, and Guo Jia explained: "Everyone, it is absolutely impossible for a real bandit to appear in this place at this time. There are either Sun Quan's army or Liu Bei's army. We only have more than a thousand people now, and we must pass here quickly. The other party's purpose must be for the Prime Minister. I asked Zhongkang to knock the Prime Minister unconscious. You can change the Prime Minister's clothes with me so that I can attract the attention of the enemy. You can take the opportunity to lead the Prime Minister to break through."

Cao Ren said, "How could you change the Prime Minister's clothes? Let me come here. Priest is in poor health. This is too dangerous. I can't explain to the Prime Minister."

Cheng Yu and others also expressed their abilities and did not allow Guo Jia to come. Guo Jia waved his hand and said, "Everyone, I know my body, I'm afraid there will be no more days. My body may not be able to hold on to Xu Du. Besides, letting a few people carry me will also affect everyone's speed. Zhongkang, please change the Prime Minister's clothes for me, and then you ride a horse and lead the Prime Minister to break through. You must ensure the Prime Minister's safety!"

Xu Chu didn't dare to do anything. He knocked Cao Cao out just now for Cao Cao's safety. Now let him leave Guo Jia's words behind. Even if Guo Jia's idea is not done, Cao Cao will not do it. Xu Chu knows Cao Cao's intentions very well.

Seeing this, Guo Jia said, "Everyone, the Prime Minister is already fainted now, so I am the temporary commander of the army. I will give the order for the Prime Minister to implement what I said, this is a military order!"

Since it was a military order, there was no way to do it. I knew it was impossible to resist, so I had to change Cao Cao's clothes with Guo Jia. Guo Jia said in his heart: "Lord, I can only serve you once in the end. I can't accompany you for the rest of the way!" Cao Ren changed the soldiers carrying Guo Jia into a strong man, and gave a special explanation, and then began to command the breakthrough. Xu Chu tied Cao Cao to the horse's back, and then rode himself to protect him, and did not charge in front. For Cao Cao's safety, he could only hide in the middle of the army.
