How much money is spent is not a problem.

Shandong has a lot of money.

The people of the Central Plains can use their hard work and flesh to carry back the harm and consumption again and again. As long as their spirits are still there, there is no problem.

But when the flame in my heart is extinguished, the accumulated problems will explode violently!

One or two hundred years of peace have made many Shandong people forget the threat of death.

The one or two hundred years of preferential treatment of the Han Dynasty made many Shandong gentry think that they are destined, a pride of heaven who is born to enjoy and enjoy happiness even after death.

The same is true in history. Thirty years after the Three Kingdoms War, these people in Shandong were still unable to wake up, and the ambitions of these guys were not extinguished. Even if they lost the frontier and lost Guanzhong, there were still many Shandong people who thought that as long as the Central Plains were there, there would still be a prosperous economy and an endless population. Just like an aging and rotten giant, staggering with their dull and huge body, until they fell down, they found that the giant was full of rotten wounds everywhere.

Now Pang Tong accidentally uncovered the layer of fig leaf covering the wound on the giant...

Cao Cao was unable to stand firm in Hangu Pass and could not control the scattered mentality of the soldiers. So on that night, he summoned all the generals and schoolmen to announce that "retreat tonight!"

The Cao army originally wanted to use the terrain to do some more work at Hangu Pass, but now that Pang Tong has been disturbed, it is obviously no longer suitable to continue staying in this place, so they can only retreat.

Cao Hong and others were a little surprised, but they seemed to have expected it, but they did not agree with Cao Cao's decision to stay and cut off the rear.

"Lord! I'm here to cut off the rear!" Cao Hong stood up, "How can the lord take risks in person?! No, no!"

Others also advised each other.

Cao Cao shook his head, "The morale of the army collapsed. If someone did not leave behind, everyone would be afraid that everyone would retreat and they would beg for escape. Even if you and I had to return to Shandong, there would be no ten soldiers under his command!"

"this……"

Everyone was silent.

It is indeed as Cao Cao said, the morale of the Cao army has now collapsed very strongly. Once it retreats, it will basically immediately evolve into a great collapse and fight for the escape route. In order to make oneself run first, he will not hesitate to wave his swords and guns at his original comrades.

『But it is inappropriate for the lord to stay in the queen!』 Liu Fu said, 『It is better to let me come and stop the queen, so I will definitely protect my lord and you all...』

Cao Cao glanced at Liu Fu.

Liu Fu raised his head and faced Cao Cao's gaze without retreating at all.

Cao Cao narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Yuan Ying is loyal, I know it well... However, it is more appropriate for someone to come! You don't have to persuade me again!"

Seeing Cao Cao persisting so much, everyone looked at each other.

Seeing the expressions of everyone, Cao Cao laughed, "Victory and defeat are common things in military affairs! Before you consider victory, think about defeat first! Zhang'er!"

Cao Zhang answered and stood up.

Cao Cao directly ordered, "Immediately send an order to reduce the stove and troops!"

Before Cao Zhang received the order, Liu Fu said: "Lord, why isn't it a stove? Reducing the stove will make the enemy know the reality, probably..."

Cao Cao waved his hand, "Increasing the stove, instead of exposing the virtual and the real... Reducing the stove, directly reducing the stove by half!"

Cao Zhang took the order and went down.

Everyone looked at each other and seemed to understand.

『Zi Lian,』 Cao Cao said again, 『Tomorrow morning, I will inspect the camp... I will select the wounded soldiers first, and let the wounded soldiers leave first tonight...』

『Injured...injured soldiers?" Cao Hong was stunned, 『Let go tonight?"

Immediately, Cao Hong understood what Cao Cao meant, nodded and said, "I'll make arrangements now!"

Cao Cao nodded, "After you patrol the camp tomorrow, let's retreat first!"

"No!" Unexpectedly, Cao Hong refused, "If the lord does not retreat, then he will not retreat! If the lord does not retreat, he will not retreat! If the lord does not go forward and retreat with him to the same death!"

Cao Cao was silent for a moment and waved his hand, "It's up to you. But the matter of the wounded soldiers leaving first, don't delay!"

The wounded soldiers leave first, which is conducive to stabilizing people's hearts.

Of course, this was not because Cao Cao suddenly realized the importance of ordinary soldiers, and began to realize respecting life and respecting the bottom, but just because the Cavalry Army came and the Cavalry Army shouted that...

In history, Cao Cao retreated from the Red Cliff, and the road was muddy. The wounded soldiers "voluntarily" became stepping stones for other soldiers, allowing other uninjured soldiers to escape...

This is like some companies that have changed their usual style and suddenly paid the year-end bonus in advance. It is not that the boss suddenly awakened his conscience and wanted to accumulate some merit, but because of some other things.

Moreover, it was not only the wounded soldiers who left, but also the soldiers who were released by Pang Tong.

In this way, it is equivalent to temporarily getting rid of allergens...

However, Cao Cao's retreat was equivalent to selling the soldiers who had not yet crossed the river to defeat the Zhongtiaoshan camp north of the river.

Cao Cao's retreat this time would not have been gradually retreating like before, and it must have been a large-scale withdrawal of troops. The Cao army soldiers who returned from Zhongtiao Mountain were lost one after another. In addition, they lost Cao Cao's cover, and the rest had not had time to escape to the south bank of the river, so they could only ask for more blessings.

For Cao Cao, this is also a gecko who broke his tail to some extent and lost his car to protect his handsome man.
