Chapter 217 Expulsion

Chapter 214 Expulsion

"It is not a long-term solution for the southern barbarians to stay in the Central Plains for a long time. Zhang Lu in the northwestern Hanzhong is not greedy enough and will definitely be used by Cao Cao. Fortunately, Zhang Yide is there to take precautions and everything is safe."

"Although Sun Quan from Jiangdong is sincere in cooperating, Zhou Yu from Poyang is very ambitious and is determined to destroy Jingzhou. Moreover, Jiangdong's navy is invincible in the world. The one who can defeat Zhou Yu must be Jiangxia Yunchang!"

The generals and counselors standing by could not help but look at each other, wondering why the military advisor would say such a comment about the world!

"Now that the war is coming to an end, I want to go on a trip to meet an old friend. It may take a month, or two or three months, but I will definitely arrive in Jingzhou sooner or later."

Liu Bei was flustered, stretched out his arms to hug Zhuge Ming, and asked in a trembling voice: "Commander, are you leaving Jingzhou? Where are you going?"

Ma Liang and Jian Yong also gathered around, with anxious looks on their faces: "Commander, Jingzhou is in chaos and the war is not over. You suddenly left such a big stall. How can we, the stupid ones, cope with it? I hope you will, military counselor." With the master as my top priority, I will take care of the political affairs for the time being. After Cao Cao retreats, I can then continue to meet friends..."

Zhuge Ming got rid of everyone, returned to the high level, looked back in the direction of Wancheng and Xuchang, and laughed loudly!
"Although Cao Cao's soldiers and horses are very close, they don't dare to invade easily. You don't have to worry!"

"Outside of Jingzhou, everything is safe, so you don't have to worry. But inside Jingzhou, you will have to work hard!"

Cao Ren frowned. He has led soldiers and horses to fight for many years and has never seen anything, but this is the only thing that makes him puzzled!
"Could it be a Yin soldier?"

"Last night, hidden piles were all over the river, blocking the way forward. This is what I witnessed with my own eyes. Why did you come back today and all of them disappeared?"

Everyone had no choice but to disperse and wait until tomorrow to persuade them again.

Cao Ren held the handle of the knife in his hand and took a few steps forward. He held the side of the boat with both hands and stared at the water without speaking.

"The Eight-door Golden Lock Formation I learned seems to be just a small node in this formation!"

"If I can learn this formation, I will be invincible in the world!"

"I have made up my mind, you don't have to force it, there is no reason to change it at this time."

Cao Ren's expression changed!
But then Fenran said: "Even if it is really a shady soldier, I will not move forward!"

Cao Ren looked back and saw hundreds of warships following closely behind him, covering the entire wide river.

Li Dian murmured in a low voice.

……

In the middle of the river.

Li Dian's eyes were full of panic. He looked at the wide water in front of him and took a breath of air.

Cao Ren was so anxious that he urged the three armies to move forward quickly!
On the open water, with an unobstructed view, hundreds of warships are flying down the river like arrows, as fast as flying!
"General, when I passed by here last night, there were still sharp rocks with upturned roots, blocking the way forward. Why come again today? It's smooth..."

Zhuge Liang bowed down and said with sincerity and fear: "Brother, Liang is short of intelligence and talent, how can he be qualified for a big job? Only when my brother is here, and Liang assists him, can we achieve great things!"

"After I leave, you can ask Zhuge Kongming for advice on matters in the Military Advisor's Mansion. I will also explain all matters related to the knot to him one by one!"

"Is it true that the Yin soldiers are not successful? But the formation is exquisite, and it is definitely not like the conspiracy of the Yin soldiers..."

"It's hard to tell! Let's go to Hefei first and hand over the food and grass to Xu Huang. We can discuss other matters later!"

Liu Bei was the leader, and the rest of the civil and military people tried to persuade him, but Zhuge Ming had already decided to leave and was unmoved. Instead, he turned around and returned to the inner hall.

All around, in front and behind, there were hundreds of warships and 50,000 Cao soldiers.

Zhuge Ming bent down and helped Zhuge Liang up with both hands, and smiled: "You have the name of Wolong, and you should do the things of Wolong. How can you live under one person for a long time? My temporary departure is also to give you a chance to practice. My lord's great cause will be in the future. I still need to rely on you a lot!”

"I've walked across this river several times before, but there's no danger at all? It's so strange!"

"Could it be that we saw it wrong?"

"It's absolutely impossible. Even if we are wrong, could it be that General Cao Ren and General Li Dian are also wrong? They are leading the way, and we are just following!"

"Then why, after walking all night, did we end up back where we started from at dusk?"...

"It can't be a Yin soldier!"

"What Yin soldiers?"

"Perhaps many soldiers and horses died unjustly in this river in the past, and their souls linger on the bottom of the river, so they float out of the river every night and cause weird things."

"Or maybe what we did was an act of injustice and defiance of nature. God is not willing to bless us, so the ghost appears as a warning..."

"Hey...I think it's possible!"

"I'm afraid this trip will be very unlucky!"

Everyone was secretly suspicious and uneasy. They all thought that this time the army rushed to Hefei at starry night, it was an unlucky move.

……

“Ten miles further, we will reach Hefei.”

When the sun went down, Li Dian came to the front boat, pointed at the faintly visible river bank in the distance, and said to Cao Ren.

"That's great! Today's journey has finally gone smoothly!"

"Instruct the three armies. The front army of 30,000 will land ashore immediately to collect all the food and grass. The rear army of 20,000 will wait until all the food and grass have been transported to the beach before landing."

Cao Ren breathed a long sigh of relief. Although there were some twists and turns along the way, he finally safely transported the grain and grass to Hefei!
"General..."

Li Dian frowned slightly, as if he had some worries in his heart: "I haven't informed Xu Huang to come to pick me up yet, so it would be too abrupt to land directly like this, right?"

Cao Ren waved his hand: "No need! Before I set off, Wancheng had sent a letter to Hefei, explaining that I was escorting the grain and grass to come. Not to mention that our army has a clear banner and we are all soldiers and horses of Wancheng. How can we make a mistake?"

"Now the army in Hefei is short of food. Saving the army is like putting out a fire. What's more, a whole day's work was wasted on the way and it's too late!"

"Go directly to the shore!"

"Here!"

Li Dian's biggest advantage is that although he has his own opinions, he will unconditionally carry out what his boss orders without adding any personal emotions.

"Light the torch, quickly land ashore, and meet the grain-carrying ship!"

Li Dian gave a loud order, and the 30,000 soldiers and horses of the front army landed one after another!

Cao Ren's troops were well-trained and well-trained. Even if they abandoned the ship and landed ashore, they were silent and orderly!

Li Dian kept Cao Ren's instructions in mind and distributed all the soldiers and horses who had landed in advance far away from the outside. Each man carried a flagpole several feet high. On top of the flagpole, there was a big flag with the word "Ren" and "Ren" in it. The banner with the word "Cao".

He was convinced that as long as Xu Huang's scouts were nearby, they would be able to discover his whereabouts in time and report it to Xu Huang!

At this time, it was getting late and night had fallen.

Xinye, government office.

Cao Cao has fully recovered and gathered his ministers to discuss military affairs that day!

"My lord, how is the war in Hefei? There has been no news since Xu Huang left. I feel very uneasy."

Xun You said it first.

"Ha ha!"
