Chapter 8-Sword of Benevolence, Nothing Can Be Done! (New book!)
Under Zhuge Yi's insistence, Cao Cao finally agreed to let him stay in the supply camp and become a glorious grain transport officer.
After the two of them sat down, Cao Cao sat opposite Zhuge Yi.
"Sir, there's something I need you to clarify!”Cao Cao asked Zhuge Yi.
"Prime Minister, please ask."
Actually, even if Cao Cao didn't say it, Zhuge Yi knew what Cao Cao wanted to ask.
Of course, it was Liu Bei's next move.
According to the course of history, regardless of whether the fire in Xinye burned or not, Liu Bei would have been defeated.
After all, the difference in strength was too great.
Liu Biao's death caused Liu Bei to completely lose his support.
However, there were still two big battles.
The first battle was the Battle of Changban Slope.
"Mister, please tell us where Liu Bei will go next and what arrangements our army should make.”Cao Cao asked.
Zhuge Yi felt that he was lacking a feather fan in this matter. Otherwise, he would feel like he was making his own decisions.
"Liu Bei is leading the people of Xinye, so his speed is definitely not fast. Prime Minister, you can send a cavalry to catch up to Liu Bei at Changban Slope!”Zhuge Yi asserted.
"Changban Slope?" Cao Cao frowned and muttered. He then looked at Zhuge Yi and said,"Mister said that Liu Bei can't walk fast with the people of Xinye. What if Liu Bei abandoned the people of Xinye?”
Zhuge Yi shook his head with a smile and said,""Definitely not!"
"Why?" Cao Cao was puzzled.
Xu Chu, who was standing behind Cao Cao, did not quite understand.
"The speed of marching with the people is slow. That big-eared thief's ability to escape is first-class, how could he not know? Why wouldn't Sir leave the people behind? Could it be because of the name of benevolence and righteousness?"
Last night, Zhuge Yi had asked Xu Chu why Liu Bei wanted to bring the commoners.
At that time, Xu Chu did not answer.
Now that he heard that Liu Bei was still unwilling to abandon the people even though the pursuers were approaching, Xu Chu was even more puzzled, so he asked this question.
Zhuge Yi smiled and looked at Old Cao.
"Then may I ask, which troop is the most elite under the Prime Minister?”Zhuge Yi asked.
"Of course it's the Tiger Leopard Cavalry!" Xu Chu immediately perked up. He knew about this problem.
Zhuge Yi nodded to confirm that there was no mistake.
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the princes rose up together.
There were a few famous elites in the world.
Gongsun Zan's White Horse Righteous Servant, Yuan Shao's Ju Yi's Ascending Camp, Xiliang's Dong Zhuo's Flying Bear Army, Lu Bu's Breaking Ranks Camp, and so on.
Of course, all of these had become dust in history after the fall of many dukes.
The Tiger Leopard Cavalry under Old Cao was the number one cavalry that still existed in the world.
The tiger and leopard cavalry should actually be separated, tiger cavalry and leopard cavalry.
The tiger cavalry was the embryonic form of the heavy armored cavalry, while the leopard cavalry was the light cavalry.
The power of the two combined was unparalleled.
Cao Cao looked at Zhuge Yi and nodded, confirming that Xu Chu was right.
"Liu Bei fled in defeat. If the Prime Minister wants to pursue him, he will definitely send cavalry to pursue him. If the cavalry wants to let go of the pursuit, they will need a wide plain.”
"There is no barrier to the south of Xiangyang. How can Liu Bei escape the Prime Minister's pursuit?”Zhuge Yi asked.
Cao Cao sank into deep thought.
A moment later, Cao Cao suddenly raised his head.
He looked at Zhuge Yi in disbelief.
"Sir, are you saying that Liu Bei is actually going to use hundreds of thousands of people as a barrier? Stop the cavalry's charge?" Cao Cao's eyes widened.
Zhuge Yi only smiled and did not answer.
All the answers were fair.
If one were to ask who was the real master of escape in the Three Kingdoms, it would undoubtedly be Liu Bei. In this regard, Liu Bei and Liu Bang, the Emperor of Han Dynasty, were on par.
He didn't know if it was because of the lineage inheritance.
But thinking about it, the current Old Cao was no longer the Old Cao from before.
After regaining the north, Old Cao had already set his sights on the world.
Moreover, he had already started to build up his reputation.
Behind Liu Bei were hundreds of thousands of civilians, and only Cao Cao's pursuers were behind them.
If there were no commoners to separate them.
With Liu Bei's two legs, how could he outrun the Tiger Leopard Cavalry with twenty to thirty thousand soldiers?
"Liu Bei is indeed a despicable person, hypocritical!”Xu Chu gritted his teeth and said in a muffled voice,"This fellow is too shameless. He actually used the people as a cover!"”
Zhuge Yi smiled and said," No, no. Not only will Liu Bei not be cursed by the world, but he will also say that the Prime Minister's army is cruel. If the people stay, they will definitely die. Therefore, the people are willing to leave with him."”
"Eh?"
Cao Cao sighed." I've said it long ago. I'm afraid Liu Bei is the only person in the world who can use benevolence and righteousness as a weapon.”
"Teacher, please teach me how to break Liu Bei's plan.”Cao Cao asked.
Zhuge Yi shook his head.
This was not Liu Bei's fault. It was because Old Cao's reputation was not good and the people were afraid of him.
"The Sword of Benevolence and Righteousness is incomparably sharp.”Zhuge Yi shook his head and said," But the opportunity is not here. Prime Minister, you can chase after him. You can't rush to kill Liu Bei!"”
Hearing Zhuge Yi say that there was nothing he could do, Cao Cao sighed and gave up.
"Xu Chu, immediately order Cao Chun to lead the Tiger Leopard Cavalry in pursuit of Liu Bei.”
"Remember, do not disturb the people along the way. The army will kill them later!”
