The Invincible Summoning of the Three Kingdoms

"With such a small amount of troops, it should only be the other party's eyes and ears here, don't worry about them, we can just speed up the march!" Jia Xu nodded heavily and said no more.

886: Sudden change

Liu Rui's [-] cavalrymen were indeed just as Jia Xu said, they just went to the front to inquire about Cao's army.

The [-] cavalrymen were already out of touch with the main force, and even if Cao Jun was discovered at this moment, it was impossible to pass the news back immediately.In the process of going back and forth, even if Liu Rui led the army to arrive, I am afraid that they would not be able to catch up with Cao's army and retreat to Qingzhou.

Similar things happened at the junction of Qingzhou and Gunzhou. This time Cao Cao's army retreated and was divided into four parts by Jia Xu, in order to avoid being caught by Liu Rui.

The battle reports here and there were also quickly passed to Liu Rui's hands.

After receiving the news from the front line, Liu Rui frowned and found Guo Jia and others.

"Fengxiao, there is news about Cao Cao's army now. I am afraid that the other party has already begun to retreat, and now it has reached the border of Qingzhou and Gunzhou!" Looking at Guo Jia, Liu Rui sighed.

Guo Jia hurriedly stood up, walked to the map sand table in the tent, and asked, "My lord, I am afraid that Cao Cao is preparing to retreat from Taishan County this time!"

"That's right, the place where the news came first was indeed in Taishan County!" Liu Rui nodded.

After hearing Liu Rui's words, Guo Jia frowned and stared at the entire map, then turned around and picked up the battle report in Liu Rui's hand, and after reading it carefully for a long time, he said, "My lord, I'm afraid this time we will The plan is going to fail!"

Liu Rui nodded, this kind of anticipation, when they received the news of Cao Jun's retreat earlier, Liu Rui and others had already prepared their hearts, but now that they got the exact news, Liu Rui couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. .

However, this emotion flashed in Liu Rui's heart, and then Liu Rui said with a smile: "It's okay, Cao Cao just escaped from Gunzhou to Qingzhou, even if he still retains a few troops, he can't escape. Our palms!"

Seeing Liu Rui regaining his strength, Guo Jia also nodded and smiled and said, "My lord is wise, please rest assured, after we occupy Gunzhou, all the initiative will be in our hands, and he, Cao Mengde, will be able to escape. This time, next time, we will never let him go!"

Mei Changsu and Zhuge Liang, who were on the side, also spoke quickly, and they discussed many matters about occupying Gunzhou in the future, but they just said a few words, and saw the jar who came to report yesterday rushed again. come over.

"My lord! It's bad! The big thing is bad!" The spy rushed in front of Liu Rui with a terrified expression. His expression was full of horror.

Seeing the spy's expression, Liu Rui's heart skipped a beat, and he couldn't help but ask, "What's going on? Quick report!"

"My lord, my subordinates went out for a routine inquiry today, and found that Cao Cao had left behind people all over Gunzhou!" The spy took a breath and said, "These people are mixed with the common people, and they are constantly running around everywhere. Poisoned, and when the Cao army retreated, they stole all the money and food from the people's homes, and the reason why the people fled yesterday was to avoid the looting of the Cao army!"

"What!" Liu Rui stood up in surprise and couldn't help but clenched his fists and thumped the case.

Since Liu Rui and Guo Jia guessed Jia Xu's comeback yesterday, the two have already begun to worry about Jia Xu's poisonous schemes, but they didn't expect that Jia Xu was still focusing on ordinary people this time.

In the previous fights, although Jia Xu used his poisonous schemes around the common people, he still retained a bit of humanity, at least leaving a way for the common people to survive.

But now, Jia Xu has directly extended his evil hand to these innocent civilians.Xiaoshuowa novel network www.xiaoshuowa.com

Poisoning the common people, even if it is something inferior to a bird or a beast, I am afraid that such a thing cannot be done.But Jia Xu did it, and he did it among the countless people in Gunzhou.

Before he could think about it, Liu Rui hurriedly asked, "Send all our horses out to find out how many places this is the case!"

Seeing Liu Rui's stern expression, Guo Jia, who was beside him, hurriedly said, "My lord, we need to mobilize food and medicine from the rear immediately to avoid unexpected needs!"

Liu Rui nodded heavily, and then said, "That's right! We must prepare for this kind of thing early. Whether it happens or not, we must do our best!"

After the two finished speaking, they ordered a group of scouts to speed up to spy on the information ahead, paying special attention to what ordinary people are experiencing now.

On the other hand, Liu Rui had prepared for the worst, rushing to mobilize all kinds of grain and medicine from the rear.

It's just that with the continuous expansion of the scouts in front of them, the hearts of Liu Rui and Guo Jia are getting heavier and heavier.

"Report to the lord, many cities near Puyang in the East County have found that the people have been poisoned and infected on a large scale!"

"Reporting to the lord, in the vicinity of Taishan County, many towns have been found to have a large-scale food shortage. The people have no food, and they are poisoned and sick. Now the place is completely chaotic!"

"My lord, the same situation happened in Jiyin!"

"My lord, the same situation happened in Rencheng!"

Countless battle reports, like snowflakes, were used towards Liu Rui's place, and as these countless battle reports gathered, Liu Rui's mood became heavier and heavier.

At this moment, Liu Rui was facing many generals and advisors in the big tent, and said in a low voice: "Everyone, everyone must have known what Cao Cao did this time!"

Everyone nodded silently, and now the entire Gunzhou has become a Jedi, and countless people are suffering in pain.

Seeing the faces of everyone, Liu Rui's face also turned ashen, and he couldn't help but said, "Everyone, what should we do now, let's talk about it!"

Hearing Liu Rui's words, Guo Jia stood up and sighed: "My lord, Cao Cao is now ready to give up the whole of Gunzhou, this Cao Mengde is ruthless enough, in order to stop us, there is such a ruthless means. !"

Everyone was silent, Liu Rui also nodded and said, "Yes, this time, let's write it down for him Cao Cao. If there is a chance in the future, we will go to him to trouble Cao Cao. At that time, what will happen to these people? For the pain, let Cao Cao repay it hundreds of times and thousands of times!"

"My lord, my subordinates have sorted out the current information!" Mei Changsu stood up and looked at Liu Rui.

Hearing Mei Changsu's words, Liu Rui asked, "What is Changsu's idea, let's hear it!"

887: Between trade-offs

At this moment, everyone present was quietly listening to the conversation between Mei Changsu and Liu Rui.

Seeing everyone's expressions, Mei Changsu bowed his hands to everyone, and said solemnly: "Everyone, everyone is very clear about the current situation. Now we have an army of [-] people. If Leaving a small number of teams to recover Gunzhou, and letting the main force pursue Cao Jun, then Qingzhou will definitely not be able to stop our army!"

Hearing Mei Changsu's words, everyone held their breaths.Liu Rui also nodded towards Mei Changsu, signaling the other party to continue.

"As long as our army is dispatched, there is absolutely no possibility that Qingzhou will be able to sustain it!" Mei Changsu spoke again, paused, and then continued: "But if we do this, I am afraid that the people of Gunzhou will at least have to More than [-]% died!"

This sentence immediately shocked everyone present!

In fact, everyone present had considered Mei Changsu's proposal. After all, if the army was marching and fighting, if he was fettered by the people everywhere, it would inevitably make Liu Rui shy.Moreover, Mei Changsu's proposal is not to ignore the people, but to rescue the people of Gunzhou while attacking Qingzhou.

But after hearing that Mei Changsu said that Gunzhou would lose [-]% of the people, everyone was shocked.

Liu Rui also frowned, and couldn't help but asked, "Changsu, if we increase the efforts to rescue the people, how long will it take? How many people can be rescued?"
