Chapter 96 What to do with Zilong

A large number of Cao's army, Wuyang, and Wuyang, came from the north. The refugees gathered on the shore saw that there was no hope of boarding the ship and had already begun to flee in all directions. However, the Cao army did not chase and just reorganized the formation on the bank of the river.

Cao Cao sat in the carriage and looked at the ships gradually moving away from the river. His strange appearance was quite eye-catching.

"Which fleet is that?" Cao Cao pointed at the large row of mother-child ships in the river with a horse whip and asked with a frown. He could vaguely see the ink words written on the flag, but Cao Cao's memory had no similar impression.

"Go back to the Prime Minister." The official in charge of intelligence next to Cao Cao hurried forward and bowed, "According to detailed investigations, this fleet came from a city built by a Mo family descendant in Jingling. The city was newly built, called Mocheng. There are many craftsmen in the city, and the buildings built are quite famous. The most famous of them is the Moxiang Pavilion, which Liu Biao met when he was alive. It is rumored that he was in it, as if he was in a fairyland."

"There is such a thing?" Cao Cao didn't care too much when he heard this, but just smiled and said, "After this time, he captured Jiangling and returned to Xiangyang, I will go and see it."

"Not only that, it is rumored that Mocheng is not only good at building buildings and utensils, but also has quite excellent weapons. There are many elite troops in the Jingzhou army holding Mocheng's weapons, which are quite excellent."

"Oh?" Cao Cao was excited when he heard this: "How good?"

"No less than our army's training weapons." The intelligence officer bowed.

"What happened?" Cao Cao narrowed his eyes and said, "How could such talents be used by Liu Bei?"

"This..." The intelligence officer smiled bitterly and shook his head: "The time is too short. The delicate work of our army sneaking into Mocheng only knows that the Lord of Mocheng and Liu Bei have had a strong relationship. As early as the Prime Minister went south, he had already started to help Liu Bei transport the people in Xinye and Fancheng. Now there are a large number of refugees gathering in Mocheng. This person is quite skilled, allowing the people to use labor for relief and comfort the refugees, so that the Mocheng will be stable quickly and without causing any disaster."

"Oh?" Cao Cao was even more excited when he heard this and asked, "Work for relief?"

The intelligence officer roughly explained Liu Yi's method of governing Mo City. Cao Cao was very excited when he heard this. Finally, he patted his legs and smiled: "I don't want the Mo family to decline for hundreds of years. Now this genius has been released. I will order me to order Cao Ren to go to Mo City to invite this person to see him, so that he will not be rude. After I capture Liu Bei alive, I will see this person again!"

Although he was interested in this Mo family's life, in Cao Cao's opinion, the most urgent task was to seize Jiangling and not give Liu Bei any chance to turn the tables. As for Mocheng, Cao Cao did not take it seriously, just a city.

At this time, Cao Cao's mentality began to change after he was promoted to prime minister. He used to be eager to seek talents, but now he has a lot of talents under his command. He knows where there are talents, so he directly issued an edict to recruit him. If he is valuable, he will also send someone to invite him. As for when he comes to invite him in person, sometimes when he has a high status, his mentality will also begin to look down on all living beings. This time, he sent Cao Ren to invite someone is considered to be a sufficient face.

"Here!" The intelligence officer agreed upon hearing this, turned around and informed Cao Ren. Cao Cao ignored the people who fled in a hurry and continued to command the three armies to pursue Liu Bei. This time he had made up his mind that as long as he had the chance, he would definitely kill Liu Bei. The world had been in chaos for too long. Cao Cao no longer wanted to continue this game of heroic separatism.

...

"Mocheng?" Cao Ren looked at the intelligence officer who came to pass the death in confusion, frowned and said, "I have never heard of it."

"The general doesn't know that this city has just been built this year, but it is already quite famous in Jingxiang." The intelligence officer smiled and said, "The Lord of the Mo City is a descendant of the Mo family. He is now helping Liu Bei to migrate the people. The Prime Minister hopes that the general can persuade him to come and surrender."

"Okay, please report to the Prime Minister, I will lead the troops." Cao Ren nodded and turned over and said.

However, as for the successor of the Mo family, Cao Ren may not be very powerful, just "please" come.

The intelligence officer felt something was wrong. The other party did not seem to really understand what he said. When he wanted to say it again, Cao Ren had already rode away and could only shake his head, hoping that there would be no trouble.

...

On the other hand, not long after the fleet in Mocheng left, a large number of fleeing people met a general with a white horse and silver spear. They looked around anxiously in the crowd. It seemed that they had not found the person they were looking for. They quickly attracted several refugees and said, "Have you ever seen Mrs. Mi?"

This ordinary refugee didn't know what Mrs. Mi, just shook her head and someone shouted: "General, you can go to Danyang. A man ran there before."

"Thank you!" The general on the horse's back was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly bowed to the man, then turned his horse's head, separated the crowd, and headed towards Dangyang.

...

The place where Liu Sandao met people was less than a hundred miles away from Mo City. Now, seeing Cao Cao was not chasing him, he went downstream and arrived in Mo City in one day, but this time the population was far less than last time.

When Liu Yi saw many empty ships, he hurriedly found Liu Sandao and said, "But he meets the enemy?"

"Well, I almost collided with Cao's army!" Liu Sandao nodded and said, "As I said, don't fight with Cao's army head-on, so I carried fewer people and led the fleet back directly."

"Very good." Liu Yi breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. No one wanted to offend him now. Although he knew that Cao Cao would lose in the end, that was also a matter for the future. Cao Cao is now unstoppable and so close to him. If he really provoked the other party and sent tens of thousands of troops to attack the city, Liu Yi was really worried about whether this Mo City could be defended.

"In the past few days, I have been cruising nearby and accepting refugees. Don't go further. If you meet Cao's army and retreat directly, don't start a conflict." Liu Yi looked at Liu San and said.

These five hundred soldiers are considered elite, and Liu Yi does not want to lose in the battle without objection.

"Sir, don't worry, Cao's army is powerful, and we don't want to provoke you." Liu Sandao nodded, then thought of something, and said to Liu Yi: "Sir, there is another thing that needs to be reported to Mr.

"Oh?" Liu Yi nodded and said, "What's the matter?"

"When I encountered Cao's army, I accidentally encountered a team of people separated from Liu Bei's main force. Among them, Liu Bei's wife was brought back by us. I wonder what to do with him?" Liu Sandao asked.

"Wife?" Liu Yi raised his eyebrows when he heard this. Liu Bei's woman? Which one?

"I heard from them that they seemed to be called Mrs. Mi, and they were holding Liu Bei's son." Liu Sandao thought about it carefully.

OK, I just took Mrs. Mi and A Dou back. But what should Zilong do if that happens?
