Chapter 2655 Ji Beiqin VS Cao Cao
In no time, countless players across the entire China region began inquiring about Cao Cao's whereabouts.

Many lords spent a fortune to lead their troops via teleportation arrays to cities in Sili and Yanzhou. Some formed small teams to track Cao Cao's escape route from Luoyang in real-world history; others set up ambushes at key transportation routes, hoping to stumble upon Cao Cao by chance. In short, almost all the top players in the China region were mobilized for this mission, even top-tier players like Xia Hu.

They had a premonition that if Cao Cao was killed, the player who killed Cao Cao would... replace Cao Cao!
Whether it was Ji Beiqin, Xuan Yuan Changying, or others who had this premonition, even Lin Mu had it...

Lin Mu simply didn't join in the fun. Could his Great Wilderness territory be weaker than Cao Cao's current power?
At this moment, Lin Mu was still frantically searching for the national treasury. That's right, he wasn't dawdling; instead, he was diligently searching and analyzing the various halls he encountered each day, trying to find the hidden treasury within!
He also really wanted to find the national treasury. And once he found it, he certainly wouldn't hand it over to Dong Zhuo. He'd do it the next time he entered the palace… and then take it to the national treasury.

Of course, Lin Mu didn't hold out much hope of finding the national treasury. After the Red Dragon's death, the national treasury had never reappeared. Even Empress Dowager He and the former Emperor Liu Bian couldn't find it… This was truly puzzling.

The emperor, as the master of the Han Dynasty, couldn't even find his own treasury. It's a bit ridiculous, isn't it? But that's the truth!

If the emperor were to perish and try to turn things around using the national treasury, but couldn't find any, wouldn't that be ridiculous? If it was the cause of the collapse of the Han Dynasty, then what was the point of the national treasury?
This is a question that Lin Mu, Dong Zhuo, and others all want to know the answer to!
Let's return to Cao Cao's side.

During Cao Cao's escape, another important figure appeared: the epic strategist Chen Gong!
This man was upright, loyal, and resourceful. From the moment he truly joined Lü Bu's side until his death, he never switched allegiance!

At the same time, Chen Gongzhi was also very capable. Although he could not compare to the terrifying Cao Wei camp and died because of it, he was able to turn his useless teammate Lü Bu into a warlord, which was quite remarkable.

He assisted Lü Bu in attacking Cao Cao and successively captured Yanzhou and Xuzhou. Later, during the siege of Xiapi, Lü Bu ignored Chen Gong's strategy of mutual support, leading to his defeat. After the defeat, Chen Gong was captured by Cao Cao along with Lü Bu and others. He refused Cao Cao's offer of surrender and was determined to die.

In his previous life, a player praised Chen Gong, saying that he single-handedly fought against the Cao Wei camp, and even with the useless teammate Lü Bu dragging him down, he still managed to capture many cities in two provinces, which was quite terrifying!
Therefore, the desire for Chen Gong led many players to participate in this siege regardless of the cost.

A hilarious scene unfolded: the magistrates of various counties were approached by them at all costs, either through bribery or outright kidnapping.

In short, as Cao Cao began his escape, from Sili to Dongjun in Yanzhou, the county magistrates along the way all suffered!
Unfortunately, Chen Gong did not appear.

Ironically, due to the player's actions, a new magistrate took office in a certain county...

Meanwhile, a series of bounties were offered for Cao Cao. Many powerful player lords offered incredibly generous rewards for information leading to Cao Cao's whereabouts.

The government is searching for Cao Cao, and so are the outsiders; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he's an enemy of the whole world!
After successfully escaping Luoyang through the east gate, Cao Cao did not immediately head towards his hometown in Yuzhou.

Although he had temporarily escaped Luoyang, the capital city, he knew he was now a wanted criminal nationwide, and every step he took was like walking on thin ice. He rode his Akhal-Teke horse, starting from the east and circling around to the north of Luoyang, then heading west.

They kept changing routes along the way, not daring to slack off in the slightest, avoiding checkpoints that might be heavily guarded, and then headed towards a certain place.

To the west, there happened to be a military unit stationed.

That's right, he wants to go find Huangfu Song!

However, the checkpoints along the way were extremely strict. Besides arresting him, Dong Zhuo also had to be wary of Huangfu Song. How could things not be strict here?

Even Lü Bu has patrolled this place several times using the teleportation array.

After finally managing to pass through several checkpoints using his special skills and abilities, Cao Cao realized that this road was blocked! He had a premonition that if he continued westward, he would be discovered, and in that case, he would be met with a real ambush!

A chill ran down his spine.

Helpless, he had no choice but to give up Huangfu Song, his powerful backer.

In a barren mountain, Cao Cao rode his Ferghana horse, gazing southward, and sighed softly, "It seems that the hope for overcoming this calamity lies in the south."

His destination was Pei State in Yu Province, not Dong Commandery in Yan Province.

This differs from historical records! Perhaps this is a sign of divine favor bestowed upon Cao Cao...

With a gentle spur of his horse, he transformed into a streak of blood and sped away.

The rugged mountain road did not affect the speed of the Akhal-Teke horse in the slightest, which shows that Dong Zhuo really did bestow a precious steed upon Cao Cao.

Afterwards, he traveled from west to east, instead of heading directly south into Yuzhou. He didn't head directly south towards Yuzhou, but instead traveled towards Dongjun... because this was essentially the route Heaven had ordained for him...

During his escape, Cao Cao encountered numerous troubles. Once, he passed through a small village, intending to beg for food and water, only to discover that the village had already received a warrant for his arrest. Upon seeing him, the villagers immediately shouted for his capture. Left with no other option, Cao Cao brandished his long spear and fought his way through to escape.

There's no way around it; Prime Minister Dong's bounty is too tempting, and the bounty offered by the extraordinary person is equally generous. With both options combined, no one can resist!
As for the noble idea of ​​assassinating Dong Zhuo to save the country, what use was it to them...?

With this exposure, he began to experience real bloodshed!
Even when he took the most rugged and remote paths, he still encountered people who wanted to ambush him. Even mountain bandits and outlaws came out of the mountains to block him. How tragic!

Once, he encountered a group of bandits in the mountains. When the bandits saw Cao Cao riding a Ferghana horse (which had been dyed by Cao Cao to become a slightly larger, ordinary black horse), they assumed he was a wealthy man and swarmed around him.

Cao Cao initially tried to negotiate with them and bribe them with money, but the bandits were greedy and wanted both the man and the horse, not to mention the money on his person.

Left with no other choice, he could only act on behalf of Heaven and slaughter the entire group. Afterward, he went up the mountain, became a mountain king, and rested for a while.

In the Sili Henan Yin, not far from the capital Luoyang, in a bandit stronghold, Cao Cao rode his horse and looked at the utterly ruined gate. He looked up to the sky and roared, "Enter the city... I never imagined that Heaven would have such a requirement."

"The next city is Gongxian, then the important city of Xingyang, and further east is Zhongmu... After that, turn west to Mixian, exit Sili and go straight into Yingchuan in Yuzhou... Chenjun... Liang Kingdom... Pei Kingdom!"

"Along the way, too many strange people have come to search for me... Even hiding in a poor and destitute bandit's den, I have been searched twelve times..." Cao Cao's face was extremely ashen.

He had a premonition that if he were discovered by the supernatural, the consequences would be unimaginable!

Helpless, he had no choice but to change his appearance, even making up his surname and given name... Huangfu Ang!

The man and horse became a man and a horse-drawn carriage!

The carriage was loaded with wild game and herbs.

Soon, he arrived in Gongxian County.

At the city gate, everyone entering the city had to be inspected, but if you looked closely, you would find that the inspecting officers and soldiers did not actually examine the people very carefully, but just looked at them for a while before letting them through.

Cao Cao... no, at this time he was called Huangfu Ang, and he easily passed the checkpoint with his carriage.

Along the way, in addition to the reconnaissance by government soldiers, there were also many strange people who privately set up checkpoints at various intersections and checkpoints.

There are as many as ten checkpoints on one road, isn't that scary...?

Unlike government troops, players don't hold back. They use reconnaissance skills all the time, and swarm in at the first sign of trouble, causing chaos among the surrounding troops.

However, many people were happy with this situation because the strange man was very generous, not stingy with grain, meat, copper coins, and silver coins, making many people reluctant to leave.

The common people benefited, and they also became the eyes and ears of the supernatural beings... It can be said that a net of heaven and earth has been laid!

But will the journey really be so smooth?
No, some players still coveted the carriage driven by Huangfu Ang. What followed was a bloody battle…

This situation has attracted the attention of many people.

"Damn it, how come there are still people who don't listen?! Weren't we supposed to stop fighting and not plunder merchants?" Ji Beiqin stood on the city wall of Gong County, furious.

That's right, Ji Beiqin has taken control of Gong County. Dong Zhuo had previously appointed him as the magistrate of Gong County. Later, through some maneuvering, other members of the Ji family were appointed as magistrates. As for him, he was naturally promoted.

In order to capture Cao Cao, the top lord of the Huaxia region issued an order that everyone in the region must refrain from fighting during this period, and any conflicts should be dealt with later. Furthermore, robbing NPCs is also prohibited.

In short, there can be no fighting.

But right now, right under Ji Beiqin's nose, just three miles away, a group of people robbed a merchant. How could he not be furious!
After that, he personally led a team to handle the matter.

However, by the time he arrived at the scene, the battle was already over.

Upon hearing the report, Ji Beiqin was greatly alarmed.

“Huangfu Ang… Huangfu… It seems Cao Cao used this surname!!” Ji Beiqin seemed to sense something in the darkness.

"Cao Cao!! Damn it... I missed it!!!" Ji Beiqin thought to himself.

"Call upon all my trusted confidants to secretly pursue them!!!" Ji Beiqin immediately sent a message to his trusted confidants.

And so, Ji Beiqin began his pursuit of Cao Cao.

The two, each blessed with special fortune, meet and fight!

Ji Beiqin's men quickly caught up with Huangfu Ang, and then a fierce battle ensued.

Cao Cao single-handedly held off thousands of generals...

Both sides used every trick in the book in their book... but unfortunately, Cao Cao still managed to escape.
