As expected of a rarely seen hero, Cao Cao did not hesitate after deciding on a strategy.
He directly ordered Cao Hong, Cao Chun, Zhang Liao and the other generals to lead their most elite Tiger Leopard Cavalry to pursue Liu Bei, and repeatedly ordered them not to kill the civilians along the way.
As for Jiang Chen, Cao Cao had also given him a battalion of men, so he didn't ask much.
......
At the same time, in the Changban slope area.
Hundreds of thousands of people followed him, including the elderly, women, children, and children. The retreat route stretched for dozens of miles.
At a glance, dust flew everywhere. Thousands of people were pulling a wooden cart with bitter expressions, pulling all the property in their homes.
To put it bluntly, the people were the ones who suffered the most in this war. If a wise ruler seized the city, it would be fine. The people might be spared from suffering.
But…
Now that they had already left Xinye City and the Cao army was chasing after them, how could these commoners not panic?
Leaving the city was equivalent to giving up on Cao Cao. It was as if they had betrayed Cao Cao and joined the enemy. How could they not be afraid?
Dust filled the sky and the cries of young children could be heard from the group.
Behind this large group, a woman in embroidered clothes was carrying a child with a solemn expression.
"Ah Dou! Don't cry, your father will come and save us.”
"Good boy! Listen to mother, don't be afraid, don't cry."
As she continued to move forward, the woman continued to whisper to the child in her arms.
This woman was one of Liu Bei's wives, Madam Gan!
And the child in her arms was Liu Chan, the child he had with Liu Bei! He was also Liu Bei's only son!
Mrs. Gan never dreamed that Liu Bei would abandon the mother and son and flee south alone.
Originally, she had a few maids with her, but now they were all separated.
The Cao army was chasing after her from behind. She was carrying Liu Bei's only son by herself. It could be said that she would definitely die!
But…
Regardless of the reason, she could not give up now! She could not give up on the son in her arms!
Mrs. Gan's eyes were unusually determined. Although she walked slowly, her expression did not change at all.
Occasionally, Cao Cao's troops would pass by her on horseback, but she suppressed her fear and lowered her head to continue walking forward.
But…
Perhaps there was fate in the dark.
Ah Dou, who was still in her arms, suddenly woke up and cried out instinctively.
Although the noise was very loud, the penetrating sound of the baby's cry attracted the attention of everyone nearby!
Even the two Tiger Leopard Cavalry soldiers who had just passed by her suddenly stopped and looked over with furrowed brows.
"This woman is wearing embroidered clothes and is definitely not a commoner. Take this person back!”
"We have to take the child in her arms back too!”
“.....”
The leaders of the Tiger Leopard Cavalry reacted quickly when they saw Madam Gan's embroidered clothes. They frowned and waved their hands.
In this era, almost all the people who could wear embroidered clothes were people with status!
Although this woman's face was slightly like an ordinary person's, the embroidered clothes she was wearing betrayed her!
After giving the order, the armored soldier beside him hurriedly rushed over with his saber.
"What are you doing!"
"I'm just a commoner! What are you doing?"
Seeing this, Mrs. Gan's expression changed drastically. She instinctively hugged Ah Dou tightly and retreated to the wall behind her.
But…
How could those armorers let her go? If it wasn't for Cao Cao's order not to harm the people, they would have already drawn their swords!
Madam Gan kept retreating, retreating…
She could no longer hide her fear. Tears kept flowing out of her eyes, and she continued to beg with the crying in her arms.
"Don't come over…Don't come over…"
Despair, grief…
Mrs. Gan's heart was filled with emotions. She knew that if she was caught by them, even if she didn't die now and her identity was known, she would still die!
Perhaps it was under the influence of this most desperate state that a wave of hatred suddenly rose in Mrs. Gan's heart.
Liu Bei, how could you abandon us?
As soon as this thought came to her mind, Mrs. Gan's bright eyes suddenly dimmed. She seemed to have given up on something!
Coincidentally,
With a quick glance, Mrs. Gan suddenly saw a well in the corner of the wall.
Looking at the well, Mrs. Gan laughed at herself. She gently patted Ah Dou's head and lowered her head to kiss him.
Then,
He walked towards the well with a determined expression!
"Wait!"
"All of you, retreat!"
Just as Mrs. Gan took two steps, a crisp male voice suddenly sounded from the side.
The few armored soldiers who were walking towards them turned around and saw a team of tiger leopard cavalry behind the person. Their expressions changed, and they bowed before retreating.
This sudden change made Mrs. Gan, who had already given up, unable to react. She stood rooted to the ground and stared blankly at the young man who was walking towards her.
"I'm Jiang Chen. Greetings, Mrs. Gan. Greetings!”
Jiang Chen smiled and jumped off the horse when he saw Mrs Gan standing there in a daze. He bowed slightly, feeling ecstatic.
Fortunately, he had made it in time. Otherwise, his plan would have really ended!
