Chapter 100 The rain is coming
There are many kinds of friends, some who are like each other and some who share life and death. Those who are willing to sacrifice their lives and blood for a friend’s words, of course, also include friends who drink and eat.
Strictly speaking, Zhao Yun is not a friend. This time he met, he made a good relationship. However, with Zhao Yun's character, if he really needs help in the future, he should be able to invite Zhao Yun based on his kindness today.
Liu Yi is not very good at politics, but when he has been exploring all the way to this point, he has already begun to learn these things intentionally or unintentionally. After the battle of Mocheng today, he has completely entered the sight of the three princes. It is impossible to make a fortune as silently as before, and even a crisis may occur now, so Liu Yi must prepare for the future.
Everyone obviously cannot fully understand Liu Yi's statement, but Liu Yi knows that Liu Bei has been in good condition and Jiangdong during this period. He is not incomprehensible and accepting Liu Bei's approach.
At night, sobs came faintly in Mo City. It was the crying of the families of the dead during the day. Liu Yi stood in his courtyard, looking at the moonlight in the sky. In the huge courtyard, there were only Wangcai and dark clouds, but he had already fallen asleep heartlessly. Since moving into this new home, although the courtyard has become larger, it is not as warm and comfortable as in the previous small building.
The Deng family and his son and Lu Lingqi lived in the courtyard next to Liu Yi. Although they were still neighbors, the distance between the two sides was far away. When they first came to this era, Liu Yi felt lonely. But at that time, he felt very fulfilled. Although the environment changed and the times changed, he had a system and worked tirelessly to study it every day, full of hope for his future. Even though he did not have a high position on himself at that time, he was very fulfilled in his heart.
Now, I have all thoughts of everything, and I have unexpected things. I even have a certain amount of power in my hands, and I have more than 20,000 people’s livelihoods, but my heart is not as fulfilled as before.
He began to be confused about the future and did not know how to walk the future. The originally clear and clear future became unpredictable. Without realizing it, he had begun to have a silent impact on this era. Perhaps it is still very small now, but it is integrating and changing little by little.
He didn't know whether this ending was good or bad, right or wrong. It was precisely because of this ignorance of the future that he felt lonely and a sense of helplessness in his heart that was difficult to say to others.
The night was dull in Mocheng. When Cao Ren reunited Cao Cao, it was already the next morning.
Liu Bei had already fled to Danyang, but his troops had been defeated by Cao Cao. Cao Cao followed the situation and directly occupied Jiangling, cut off Liu Bei's way back, and sent people to chase and kill Liu Bei. Unfortunately, although Liu Bei was not very capable, his ability to escape was first-class. In addition, Zhuge Liang set up a few suspicious formations, leading Cao's army's pursuit to the side, allowing Liu Bei to escape successfully.
However, in Cao Cao's opinion, Liu Bei is obviously not enough to pose a threat to him anymore. The overall situation in Jingzhou has been decided, and the rest is to appease the people's hearts. At this time, Cao Ren's return from defeat at this time made Cao Cao's originally full of emotions a little a little disturbed.
"Why is this so much for Zixiao?" Cao Cao asked, looking at Cao Ren, who was in a mess under the tent, who was in a mess.
"The last general will not be able to fight, please punish the Prime Minister!" Cao Ren did not say much, and knelt down on the ground and said to Cao Cao.
"I just asked you to invite the Lord of Mo City to come, but I didn't go to war. Why is this?" Cao Cao was a little puzzled.
Cao Ren had two thousand elite soldiers, a city that had just been established. With Cao Ren's ability, he should not have been defeated at all, and even if he could not conquer, he should not have ended up in such a land.
"Prime Minister, the Lord of Mo City is actually the one we want!" Thinking of Liu Yi, Cao Ren felt a little bit gritted his teeth and told Cao Cao all the grievances in the past: "I met the remnant of Lu Bu when I was in Nanyang..."
Cao Cao frowned when he heard this, and then he frowned after Cao Ren finished speaking, "Is Zixiao sure you are talking about the same person?"
How could a craftsman who drove a donkey cart around a year ago become the head of the Mo family within one year and build a solid city?
"The Prime Minister clearly understands that even if this person turns into ashes, the last general will definitely recognize him!" Cao Ren said affirmatively.
"Then how did you become so embarrassed?" Cao Cao asked.
"Yesterday I went to recruit him to meet the prime minister. This man refused to leave the city, so the last general rushed to attack. Unexpectedly, although the Mo City was low, there were many defenders, with powerful bows and crossbows, and the range was more than twenty steps further than ordinary bows and arrows!" Cao Ren recalled yesterday's battle, and was a little angry.
When Cao Cao and a group of strategists heard this, their faces became solemn. The distance of more than twenty steps was already a gap on the battlefield.
"Originally, the general of the Mo was unable to capture the city for a long time and did not want the soldiers to be damaged. Mingjin withdrew his troops. Unexpectedly, Liu Yi colluded with Liu Bei. When the general of the Mo was withdrawing, a group of troops suddenly came out from the side and caught Mo General off guard. At this time, Mo City also opened the city gates. The remnants of Lu Bu led his troops to fight out. The two worked together, and our soldiers could not resist. If it weren't for the soldiers under his command, it would be difficult for the general to see the Prime Minister again today!" Cao Ren said in the end, his mood was a little depressed. After all, the city that he thought could be easily captured fell into a big flaw in the end, which was a great shame for him.
"Prime Minister!" Cheng Yu stepped out and frowned and said, "According to what Zixiao said, Mocheng should not be despised."
Just because of the range of more than twenty steps more than ordinary crossbows, for war, as long as the gap between the two sides is not too great, such weapons can almost influence the outcome of the war, not to mention, according to Cao Ren, the troops in Mocheng are quite elite. If you give the other party time, it may pose a great threat to the Cao army.
"What Zhongde said is right." Xun You stood up and bowed to Cao Cao and said, "Prime Minister, Jingxiang has been pacified now, but the land of Jiangxia is still under the control of Liu Qi, and Liu Bei is now fleeing to Jiangxia. It is better to take this opportunity to advance eastward, flatten Mocheng in one fell swoop, and take advantage of the situation to sweep Jiangxia, so the land of Jingxiang can be settled."
Cao Cao nodded silently after hearing this, and said, "Cao Ren! Le Jin!"
"The last one is here!" The two generals came out in one row after hearing this and bowed.
"I ordered you and the other two to lead 10,000 troops to attack Mocheng. As for Liu Yi, you should capture him alive and not hurt his life!" Cao Cao said in a deep voice.
"Here!"
