Three Kingdoms, I'm really not a general!

Chapter 297: The Evil One Has His Own Fortune
"The goodness or badness of a law lies not in its text but in its implementation; the essence of punishment is not to punish the crime but to make it clear."

"Peng Ying's crimes are threefold: first, he confused right and wrong, which made the king unjust; second, he embezzled money, which made the king ignorant; third, he failed to distinguish between truth and falsehood, which made the king unkind."

"These three crimes should be punished together, and they should be exiled to the South China Sea to make meritorious contributions while serving their sentences..."

When Peng Ying heard the announcement, he was completely stunned.

Burning bridges across rivers!

Settle after autumn!

This Sun Quan is definitely not a human being!
When Lu Meng attacked Jingzhou, and what happened to Zhou Tai, each of them was Sun Quan’s own thought!
I just guessed it and added fuel to the fire!

But now he has clearly blamed himself and said that it was only his own problem!
Ah!
There is no such a cheap thing in the world!
Peng Ying was not convinced and said, "I want to see the Lord of Wu!"

"Marquis Wu must not treat me like this!"

But he looked excited, while the messenger who came to announce the news had a very cold expression.

He just sneered and said, "My Lord said that he doesn't have time to see you, so don't waste your time thinking about it!"

Peng Ying became even more excited after hearing this, but he shouted: "That's impossible. I want to go see the Marquis of Wu and ask for clarification!"

"Humph! Peng Ying... don't you understand?" The visitor heard Peng Ying's wailing and said with disdain: "You are finished, and no one can save you!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Peng Ying's face changed drastically. He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but didn't know how to start.

The visitor did not even look at him, but left another sentence: "Peng Ying... As for the long journey, don't worry. The Marquis of Wu has specially sent a few elite soldiers to escort you all the way."

"I will definitely send you to the South China Sea safely."

After saying that, the man turned and left.

The face of this man named Peng Ying became darker and darker!

What do you mean by escorting me? It's obviously to monitor me and prevent me from escaping!

"You are so good, Sun Quan, you are so decisive in doing things!"

After knowing this news, Peng Ying no longer had any intention of looking for Sun Quan.

He knew very well that Sun Quan was going to burn his bridges after crossing them and put all the mistakes of the past on himself.

I'm afraid that some of them are just nonsense, and they all say they did it themselves!

Thinking in this way, there is no point in looking for Sun Quan.

"No!"

"We can't just sit there and wait for death. We have to leave today!"

"Otherwise...you will definitely die!"

Peng Ying thought so and packed his bags that day, ready to leave the city.

...

Peng Ying moved quickly.

It won’t work if it doesn’t happen quickly!
If we don’t hurry up, we’ll be dead if Sun Quan leaves us behind!
He was able to run all the way from Chengdu to Jiangdong back then, so he can certainly do it this time.

As for where to go...

Peng Ying really has no choice.

I can’t go to Chengdu and I can’t stay in Jiangdong, so I can only go north!

"never mind!"

"I originally wanted to go to Cao Cao, but by some strange coincidence I ended up in Jiangdong!"

"Humph... Now it seems that Sun Quan is indeed unbearable!"

"Damn it... I shouldn't have come here in the first place!"

Peng Ying consoled himself mentally, but the immediate focus was how to get out of the city.

As soon as Peng Ying went out, he found that there seemed to be two pairs of eyes staring at him.

Peng Ying felt that he could not be wrong, and he knew very well that this person must be Sun Quan's spy.

"Good job, Sun Quan!"

"This is going to force myself to death!" Peng Ying cursed in his heart, but he knew that if he wanted to escape today, he had to think of a way.

Immediately, he had an idea and went to a small alley.

Not long after, Peng Ying was seen coming out of the alley, completely changed into a businessman.

This guy was also decisive. He found a merchant and exchanged all his money for goods. He then exchanged clothes with the merchant and immediately went out of the city.

The soldier guarding the gate saw that Peng Ying was covered with commercial goods and questioned him a few more times. Finding no flaws, he let Peng Ying go.

Peng Ying ran out of the city and intended to head north.

When he first walked out of the city, it was relatively smooth. However, after passing through two county towns, Peng Ying did not dare to take the official road anymore.

Why?

Because there are wanted posters for you everywhere!

This Sun Quan!
They were so extravagant that they checked everyone at the city gate holding their own portraits!
He looks like he's going to kill you!

Peng Ying was filled with hatred!

I thought to myself that I must make Sun Quan regret it!

But there is no other way at the moment, we can only take the small path, cross the mountains and rivers, and suffer a lot.

In this way, we avoided being wanted and headed north.

On the way, he heard about the movement of Cao Cao's army, so he did not go to Yecheng, but went to Cao Cao's military camp.

...

Just as Xing Daorong and Zhuge Liang thought, the current situation is such that as long as Cao Cao can still move, he has no choice but to go to the battlefield himself.

otherwise…

For example, in the entire Cao army, who can resolve the current situation?
At this critical moment, Cao Cao only left Sima Yi and Zhang He to guard Chang'an, and he led Cheng Yu, Jia Xu, Yu Jin, Xu Huang, Cao Hong and other civil and military officials, and Cao Zhang and Cao Xiu with the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, out of Yecheng and headed all the way to Shouchun.

The defeated troops of Zhang Liao, Li Dian, Le Jin, Cao Pi and Xun You joined forces, and their military force was truly overwhelming and menacing!
After all, it touched Cao Cao's bottom line, so it was expected that Cao Cao would send such a large army.

When the army arrived in Xuchang, they heard that Liu Bei was not taking any action and that Jiangdong was attacking Shouchun. Cao Cao had no idea what was going on.

He immediately called everyone to discuss the matter in the big tent.

Cheng Yu said, "King of Wei, Liu Bei's troops are not moving, so let's ignore him for now."

"The first thing we need to do now is to lift the siege of Shouchun..."

Ever since Cao Cao left Ye City, he felt that he was not in a good condition.

It felt like a needle was pricking my head and the headache was unbearable.

But Cao Cao never showed it in front of everyone.

At this moment, a buzzing voice said: "The Jiangdong soldiers are not to be feared. If Fancheng had not been broken, Lu Xun would never have been able to pass Hefei in his lifetime."

If Cao Ren heard this, he would surely be ashamed.

Fortunately, this guy is in Wancheng now. I don’t know if Cao Cao already has this evaluation of him in his heart.

Zhang Liao said with guilt: "King of Wei, the defeat at Hefei is not the fault of others, but my own."

"I never thought that the Jiangdong army would fight to the death, and that's why we lost the city."

"If we had been prepared, why would we have ended up like this..."

Cao Cao did not seem to blame Zhang Liao at all, and only said: "The defeat at Hefei is not a big deal. With today's offensive, we will surely drive Lu Xun back to Jiangdong."

"But... the problem now is, from now on, if the Sun and Liu families attack at the same time, how should we respond?"

It’s Cao Cao after all!
Under this situation, the key is to stay calm!
He never thought about how to defeat the people of Jiangdong or whether he could defeat them. He only thought about how to deal with the joint attack of Sun and Liu in the future.

When the topic came to this, it seemed that Jia Xu had something to say.

But Jia Xu stepped forward and said, "Liu Bei's purpose is to support the Han Dynasty. He and we are mortal enemies. I am afraid that no matter whether he lives or dies, the younger generation will still regard us as mortal enemies."

"If we want to break up the alliance between Sun and Liu, we have to make plans with Jiangdong..."

"As for Jiangdong... I have a plan that King Wei can consider..."
