    Zhao Yan took the letter and looked at Cao Hong's frightened face with a bruised nose and swollen face. He seemed to have guessed something.

    "General Yan, doesn't General Zilian get up with his subordinates to see the Prime Minister?"

    Zhao Yan asked tentatively, seeming to still hold on to a glimmer of hope, hoping that Yan Liang could release the general of the Cao family clan in front of him.

    Yan Liang sneered, his laughter full of irony.

    Zhao Yan looked a little ashamed, and Yan Liang's laughter made him feel that he was asking a childish question.

    With Cao Hong¡¯s identity, unless Cao Cao and Yan Liang had a complete reconciliation, how could Yan Liang return this powerful hostage to Cao Cao for nothing.

    "Cao Zilian, do you want to go with Zhao Yilang?"

    Yan Liang did not answer, but instead asked Cao Hong. The meaning of his words seemed to be that it was up to him to decide whether to go or not.

    In an instant, great surprise flashed across Cao Hong's face, and his longing eyes seemed to have seen a glimmer of dawn.

    But in the blink of an eye, Cao Hong realized that Yan Liang was just joking with him. If Yan Liang really wanted to let him go, why bother forcing him to write that undignified letter.

    His expression immediately darkened again. Cao Hong gave a bitter smile and replied insincerely: "Hong Yu still needs to ask General Yan for advice on martial arts. Zhao Yilang, you should go back by yourself first."

    Zhao Yan is not an idiot. Of course he knows that Cao Hong is forced to do anything, but as a prisoner himself, he can't help himself, so how can he care about Cao Hong.

    At the moment, Zhao Yan could only sigh secretly, cupped his hands and said, "Then please take care of yourself, general."

    After saying this, Zhao Yan immediately asked Yan Liang to resign, fearing that he would have long nights and many dreams.

    Yan Liang had no intention of keeping him, so he ordered him to be released from the customs and ordered several surrendered soldiers to escort him to Cao's camp twenty miles away.

    After leaving Wuguan City, Zhao Yan was granted amnesty and rode straight to Cao Ying.

    ¡­¡­

    Twenty miles north of the city is Cao Ying.

    Inside the Chinese army¡¯s tent, Cao Cao was frowning.  Staring at the map, the helpless look in his sunken eyes appeared and disappeared.

    Even though he had unparalleled counselors such as Guo Jia and Liu Ye around him, he faced these resourceful men at the majestic pass twenty miles away.  One by one, they all turned off.  No one could think of a way for him to defeat the enemy.

    There is no way, Wuguan just lies across the mountains, blocking the way, and the enemy occupies an absolute advantage. Under such terrain conditions, in addition to using the lives of soldiers to attack the city, even a very smart person like Guo Jia,  It's hard to think of any other good ideas.

    When I was looking sad, my own soldiers came to take revenge.  Yilang Zhao Yan, who was said to be captured by Yan Liang, came back safely.

    Cao Cao perked up and issued an urgent order to move in.

    After a while, the curtain was lifted, and the dusty Zhao Yan stepped into the tent.

    "Zhao Yan, the sinner, pays homage to the Prime Minister. Please punish him." Zhao Yan fell on the ground and apologized to Cao Cao with great shame.

    Cao Cao hurriedly helped him up and said, "Zhao Yilang's words are serious, what are you guilty of?"

    Zhao Yan said sadly: "If Yan failed to defend Wuguan, even if Guancheng fell into Yan Liang's hands, how can he not be blameless?"

    "That's all, you were just passing by on patrol. The fall of Wuguan was all Zilian's fault, so you don't have to blame yourself too much."

    Cao Cao did not protect his brothers and took responsibility for the fall of Wuguan.  All of them were placed on Cao Hong.

    Zhao Yan was relieved and thanked him repeatedly.

    At this time, Cao Cao just remembered the business and asked Zhao Yan how he could escape from Yan Liang.

    Zhao Yan said with shame: "I didn't escape the official position myself, but Yan Liang took the initiative to put down the official position and come back."

    Everyone, including Cao Cao, had strange expressions on their faces.

    Zhao Yan coughed a few times and said, "The reason why Yan Liang left his post and came back is because he wanted him to give a message to the Prime Minister."

    "What message did that man ask you to bring?" Cao Cao suddenly became suspicious.

    Zhao Yan hesitated, unsure for a moment whether he should tell the truth to Cao Cao.

    Cao Cao saw some clues and said in a deep voice: "What exactly did he ask you to say, but it doesn't matter."

    Zhao Yan gritted his teeth and had no choice but to speak out Yan Liang's threatening words in a trembling voice truthfully, and presented Cao Hong's letter.

    The big tent immediately fell into a deathly silence.

    Cao Cao's scorched yellow face was suddenly blazing with angry flames.

    ? ?The rest of the civil and military officials were also filled with indignation, angered by Yan Liang's threatening remarks.

    As the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, no one in the world is afraid of him. Except for Yuan Shao back then, no other prince in the world dared to threaten him like this.

    But now, that rebel general from Hebei, a common man from a humble background, and nominally Cao Cao's son-in-law, dares to speak so wildly, and blatantly does not take Cao Cao seriously. This is simply a great provocation to Cao Cao.

    "Prime Minister, Yan Liang, a despicable dog thief, has bullied others too much. If you ask for an army to attack Wuguan, you will take the dog thief's head and offer it to the Prime Minister."

    Xiahou Dun was so angry that he was the first to stand up and ask for a fight. At this time, he was so angry that he no longer cared about Cao Hong's life.

    As the most prestigious person in the army, Xiahou Dun asked for a fight, and other generals such as Le Jin also asked for a fight one after another.

    Cao Cao clutched the letter that Cao Hong had written in his hand, almost gnashing his teeth with hatred. At that moment, he really wanted to send troops immediately to fight Yan Liang to the death.

    "Prime Minister, Jia thinks that this is definitely not the time for the Prime Minister to fight to the death with Yan Liang."

    Amid the indignant calls for war, Guo Jia went against everyone.

    The generals were furious and wanted to question Guo Jia.

    However, Cao Cao suppressed his anger and waved his hand to signal the generals not to get excited. Then he turned to Guo Jia and said in a deep voice: "Yan Liang is so arrogant that he has threatened to enter Guanzhong. Fengxiao, please tell me the truth."  Why can't we fight to the death with this thief?"

    "If Yan Liang really had the intention to attack Guanzhong, he would have mobilized all his troops before the Prime Minister's army returned after breaking Wuguan earlier, and took advantage of the situation to advance into the Guanzhong plain, and he would not have waited until now. Jia believes that from Yan Liang's various actions  For the sake of peace, he probably just wanted to capture Wuguan and ensure the safety of Nanyang, but in fact he had no intention and did not have the ability to enter the pass. "

    Guo Jia Yang spoke eloquently and explained his reasons.

    This thorough analysis made Cao Cao's anger calm down a little, and his mood gradually calmed down a lot.

    Guo Jia continued: "Although Wuguan has fallen, there are still Shangxian, Shangluo and other counties. Our army only needs to mobilize people's strength to reinforce these cities, and then we can build a barrier to protect Chang'an. Although Yan Liang has  There is nothing to be afraid of if we occupy Wuguan. When the prime minister destroys Ma Teng and Han Sui and completely controls Yongliang Prefecture, and his strength increases greatly, then there is nothing wrong with sending his army south to recapture Wuguan.  "

    At this time, Cao Cao completely calmed down and began to think carefully about what Guo Jia said.

    At this time, Liu Ye also said: "Prime Minister, Feng Xiao's words are justified. The most important thing for our army at the moment is to wipe out Ma Han and completely occupy Yongliang Prefecture. Although Wuguan is lost, it will not threaten Guanzhong."  , I¡¯m afraid it¡¯s not a wise move to ignore Xiliang just for the sake of a mere Wuguan.¡±

    After Liu Ye finished speaking, Guo Jia followed up and said: "Moreover, now General Zilian has fallen into the hands of Yan Liang again. Since he dares to use Zilian as a shield, if the Prime Minister attacks Wuguan, General Zilian's life will definitely be in danger. Please also ask  Prime Minister, think twice."

    Cao Cao, who had been silent all this time, finally let out a long sigh when he heard this.

    The two counselors looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts. They knew that their repeated admonitions had finally brought Cao Cao back from the edge of the angry cliff step by step.

    As soon as Cao Cao's fighting spirit subsided, the rest of the agitated generals also cooled down in their anger.

    In the big tent, silence returned.

    After a while, Cao Cao sighed and said coldly: "What Fengxiao and Ziyang said is absolutely true. Yan Liang, a despicable and insidious common man, wants to use some provocative methods to disrupt his true nature and eliminate Ma Han. All of them are in Yongliang."  How can the truth be fooled by his pace? Send the order, and the whole army will withdraw to Chang'an early tomorrow morning."

    Cao Cao finally suppressed his anger and made the decision to withdraw his troops.

    The civil and military officials dispersed, either happy or sad, and only Cao Cao remained in the tent.

    Cao Cao once again picked up the letter written by Cao Hong, a cold murderous intent filling his brows.

    "Yan Liang, if I allow you to be arrogant for a few more days, I, Cao Cao, will one day demand that you repay double the amount of shame you have suffered today!"

    ? ######

    Thousands of miles away, Bohai.

    On the boundless sea, several warships were slowly sailing northward along the coastline.

    At the bow of the boat, Chen Duo set up a pergola and looked at the endless coastline, his eyes filled with confusion.

    In Chen Dao's eyes, it seemed that all the coastlines were exactly the same. Sometimes after sailing for a whole day, he felt that he was still treading water.

    Sailing on the sea made Chen Dao feel insecure. He could only rely on a few people on the ship.Only with experienced fishermen as guides can you know where you are.

    Chen Dao has never figured out where those fishermen came from. They can tell where they are just by looking at a few desert islands or rocks.

    A wave came over and rocked the warship a few times. Chen felt his stomach churn and he seemed to have the urge to vomit again.

    He rushed to the side of the ship in a hurry, facing the blue sea water and vomited the acid water for a long time, and then he straightened up weakly.

    It had been more than ten days since the boat trip, but Chen Dao still couldn't overcome the annoying seasickness. At this time, Chen Dao felt that the happiest thing was to be able to stand on land with both feet.

    "Where are you ahead, haven't you arrived yet?" Chen Dao wiped the sour water from the corner of his mouth and asked impatiently to the fisherman guide next to him.

    The fisherman narrowed his eyes, observed it carefully, and said happily: "Sir, we are reaching Yuyang County just ahead, right ahead."

    Yuyang County, Youzhou has finally arrived.

    Chen Daoru felt like he was being pardoned. A look of ecstasy appeared on his gray face, and he immediately shouted: "Finally, he is coming. Quick, bring that kid up."

    The order was given, and not long after, several soldiers brought a disgraced man up from the cabin.

    Chen Dao patted him on the shoulder and sneered: "Yuan Tan, we are here now. You can finally be reunited with your coward brother." (To be continued)
