When it comes to Jia Xu, Cao Cao's anger does not come out of nowhere. The last time he heard Jia Xu's strategy, he gave up on Gonzhou, and as a result, his reputation as Cao Cao was completely broken. Now even in Qingzhou, there are rats in the streets.

Even if Cao Cao had soldiers in his hands, he could scold all kinds of swear words behind his back without the people saying it in front of him.

It is precisely because of this that Cao Cao was so angry that he couldn't eat, and even the headache that had not occurred for a long time in the past few days was a little painful.

Thinking of this, Cao Cao said angrily: "Go and call Jia Wenhe to me immediately!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Cao Cao stood up and said, "I'll go find him myself and see what this guy is doing!"

After all, Cao Cao walked towards the rear of the army, and the carriage where Jia Xu was located was not far from Cao Cao.

From a distance, he saw Jia Xu's carriage with a half-rolled curtain, revealing a figure reading a book, but in the vagueness, Cao Cao felt something was wrong.

After taking two steps abruptly, Cao Cao opened the curtain. This is where he saw what Jia Xu was in the curtain. It was a book boy beside Jia Xu, who was wearing Jia Xu's clothes and pretending to be reading. That's it.

In this scene, Cao Cao was immediately furious, and he couldn't help roaring: "Where's Jia Xu? Find it out for me right away!"

After saying that, regardless of his identity, he grabbed the little book boy and asked sharply, "When did Jia Xu leave? Tell me quickly?"

The boy who had been frightened had no masters. Hearing Cao Cao's anger, he hurriedly knelt down and begged for mercy: "My lord, spare my life! My lord, spare my life! Mr. Wen He threatened me with my family's life and asked me to pretend to be him! Ran away!"

991: Battle of Qingzhou

Cao Cao was stunned for a moment. At this moment, he suddenly remembered that he had seen Jia Xu's figure in the morning. At that time, the army had just passed through a river, and Jia Xu seemed to be alone in the jungle next to him.

When this army marches, it is inevitable that there will be three emergencies. Ordinary soldiers don't pay much attention to it, but the scholar's skin is thinner.

It is for this reason that Cao Cao didn't care at all at that time.

But at this moment, when I think about it, Jia Xu actually escaped at that time.

Thinking of this, Cao Cao couldn't help but tear his eyes apart.

His fiasco this time could be said to have a great relationship with Jia Xu.

If Cao Cao hadn't recruited the militia force in Qingzhou, although the force was smaller, the fighting force would be stronger.

But under Jia Xu's strategy, Cao Cao not only conscripted hundreds of thousands of militiamen, but also stuffed these militiamen into the navy, and also stuffed these militiamen into his own army.

If there was no defeat of the militia, Cao Cao would not have fallen to this point now.

At this moment, Cao Cao felt that he wanted to vomit blood, and was about to order someone to hunt down Jia Xu, but he suffered a severe headache and collapsed to the ground!

This time Cao Cao's head attack lasted for three or four days. When Cao Cao woke up the next time, his whole body was already withered.

"Zhi Cai, have you caught Jia Wenhe?" Cao Cao's first sentence when he woke up was to look at Xi Zhicai.

However, Xi Zhicai shook his head helplessly. Jia Xu was anxious, and he was good at calculating. If he wanted to run, no one would be able to catch him.

Cao Cao is also very clear about such a thing, so he just sighed slightly at this moment and said no more.

Looking at the surrounding environment, it seemed that he was in a private house, and Cao Cao couldn't help but be a little puzzled.

"Zhicai, are we back in Qingzhou?"

When Xi Zhi heard this question, his body trembled uncontrollably, looking at Cao Cao, he hesitated.

This scene also made Cao Cao's heart sink violently, when even his face was blue and he said helplessly: "Zhicai, do you want to deceive me?"

This sentence made Xi Zhicai hurriedly kneel on the ground, kowtow again and again, but was still unwilling to answer.

Seeing Xi Zhicai like this, Cao Cao turned over from the couch, and when he reached the door, he grabbed the guard at the door and asked, "What's going on?"

The guard hurriedly knelt down and said, "My lord, spare your life! Our army was overtaken by Liu Rui, and now they are blocked in this mountain, all the generals are desperately resisting on the front line!"

Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, and it was only at this moment that he suddenly heard the faint sounds of killing from outside.

It was also at this time that Xi Zhicai reluctantly said, "My lord, Liu Rui has already dispatched Zhao Zilong and other generals to enter Qingzhou first, and we can't go back!"

"What!" Cao Cao was stunned. He had already escaped for so many days, why couldn't he escape?

Thinking of this, Cao Cao's heart was filled with despair.

"My lord, the generals are all resisting at the entrance of the valley in front. As long as we follow here, we can temporarily hide in the mountains. The subordinates have already sent people to send messages to Liu Bei and Sun Ce, but..." Xi Zhicai Hesitantly, he did not speak.

But it doesn't need to be said, Cao Cao is also very clear.

Just a few days ago, in the process of escaping for his life, Cao Cao himself threw Sun Ce halfway. Based on this alone, Sun Ce would never come to help him.

At that time, when he was defeated from the Chibi battlefield, Liu Bei was already trapped in Jiangxia City. Whether he can escape now is another matter, let alone helping him Cao Cao.

For a time, Cao Cao's heart was full of frustration, and looking at Xi Zhicai again, Cao Cao asked weakly, "Zhicai, how many people do we have now?"

"My lord, when you were in a coma earlier, your subordinates had already mobilized some troops from Qingzhou on their own initiative, and now we still have [-] horses in our hands!" Xi Zhicai said.

"What about the grain?" Cao Cao asked again.

Xi Zhicai's expression was a little gloomy, and he said in a low voice, "My subordinates send troops to take out the loot and get two months of food and grass in total!"

Cao Cao was stunned. In the past, Xi Zhicai would definitely object to Jia Xu's evil plan to harm the people, but now, in order to keep Cao Cao alive, Xi Zhicai did the same thing.

Thinking of this, Cao Cao felt a debt to Xi Zhicai, and Xi Zhicai was loyal to him, but Cao Cao neglected and even suspected Xi Zhicai several times.

"Zhicai, you did the right thing, as long as we survive, as long as we persevere, there will definitely be hope!" Cao Cao gritted his teeth and looked into the distance.

It's just that Xi Zhicai looked confused, and he knew hope, but until now, he couldn't see where the hope was at all.

Cao Cao and Xi Zhicai were struggling on this side, while Liu Rui on the other side kept receiving battle reports from Zhao Yun and others.
