After a fierce battle, both sides suffered casualties. The Han army controlled the floating bridge and finally retreated. Thousands of Han troops, led by Liao Hua, quickly evacuated to the south bank.

Cao's army surrounded the floating bridge. At this time, Cao's soldiers were about to sprinkle tinder on the floating bridge, but Yu Jin stopped them, "Don't burn this floating bridge!"

Yu Jin looked at the south bank with cold eyes. Although the Prime Minister ordered him to burn the floating bridge, it was to annihilate the five thousand Han troops on the north bank. Now the Han army has escaped the floating bridge, leaving a floating bridge to explain to the Prime Minister.

Just then, a soldier pointed to the distance and shouted: "General, our army has arrived!"

Yu Jin looked back and saw a black line appearing in the distance, stretching for more than ten miles. When the Prime Minister arrived, Yu Jin immediately ordered a general, "Go to occupy Anyang County first!"

He turned his horse's head and rushed towards the main force of Cao's army with several cavalrymen.

This arrived army was the 100,000 main army led by Cao Cao himself. Cao Cao was originally in Ancheng, and he hoped that Liu Jing's main force could cross the Huaihe River and go north to Ancheng to fight him. However, Cao Cao gradually discovered that Liu Jing had no intention of a decisive battle with him, but he just confronted him. Cao Cao changed his name and took the initiative to lead the army south to confront the Han army across the Huaihe River.

The 100,000 Cao troops were less than ten miles away from the Huai River, and you could clearly see Anyang County in the distance. At this time, Yu Jin rushed from the south and rushed to the commander's flag to bow to Cao Cao, "See the Prime Minister!"

Cao Cao nodded and asked, "How is the situation of the Han army in Anyang County?"

"Report to the Prime Minister, before our army arrived, Liu Jing was in Anyang County. He saw through our strategy. The Han army had prepared for evacuation in advance. We and the Han army fought fiercely at the bridgehead, but they still withdrew. Our army killed more than five enemies and injured themselves."

When Cao Cao heard that Liu Jing was actually in the city, he felt a little upset. He had known that he would send cavalry to attack the floating bridge first, but this kind of upset disappeared in an instant. He asked again: "How is the situation in the floating bridge?"

Yu Jin had already heard the prime minister's tone, and secretly felt glad that he had left a floating bridge. He quickly clasped his fists and said, "Report to the Prime Minister, two floating bridges were burned, but the last low-level position did not order it to burn, and wait for the Prime Minister to fall."

Cao Cao finally had a smile on his face, "You are doing well, I want to go and see the floating bridge now!"

Cao Cao turned over his horse and ran towards the bank of the Huai River under the escort of thousands of soldiers. Soon, Cao Cao came to the bank of the Huai River. He saw that the Huai River had frozen, and a two-meter-wide floating bridge led directly to the other side. The Huai River here is not wide, only more than fifty feet, and you can clearly see the Han army camp on the other side.

At this time, a large group of cavalry appeared on the opposite side. Yu Jin had good eyesight. He recognized Liu Jing in the cavalry group at a glance and said to Cao Cao: "Prime Minister, Bei Zhi saw Liu Jing."

Cao Cao nodded, he pondered for a moment, and then smiled at Jin, "General Yu, can you say something to Liu Jing for me? I want to say a few words to him, right on the floating bridge."

Yu Jin felt bitter in his heart, but he didn't dare to refuse, so he had to bite the bullet and said, "I am willing to go there with a humble duty!"

He turned his horse's head, took two followers and led the horse to the other side. At this time, Xiahou Dun next to him laughed out loud, Cao Cao turned around and glared at him, "Why are you laughing?"

Xiahou Dun held back his laughter and lowered his head. Cao Cao turned around and said coldly to the generals: "I know you are mocking General Yu for being defeated repeatedly in the hands of Liu Jing, but aren't we the same? How many times have we fought with Liu Jing? How many more battles have we won? General Yu let Liu Jing go in Rangshan, why aren't I the same? Who knows what will happen in the future? Who dares to ridicule General Yu again in the future, I will be responsible for it."

The generals bowed quickly and said, "I dare not!"

Cao Cao said to Cheng Yu on the side again: "Zhongde, do you think we can fight this battle?"

Cheng Yu pondered for a moment: "From the current situation of the Han army, they wanted to confront us across the Huai River, but I also had a little doubt. Why did Liu Jing choose to fight us in the cold winter? You must know that they are the Southern Army. In winter, the Southern Army is at a disadvantage, and the river is frozen, so they cannot play the advantages of their navy. To be honest, I can't figure it out."

Cao Cao nodded, "The military advisor's doubts make sense, and I am deeply confused, but now that things have come to this, I can only take one step at a time."

After Yu Jin crossed the Huai River, he went from a distance to the Han army on the other side of the shore and said, "Don't shoot arrows, I will grant the Prime Minister the order, and I will send a message to the governor of Liuzhou."

Liu Jing slowly urged him to step forward. He recognized Yu Jin at a glance and said with a smile: "It turns out to be General Yu. We haven't seen each other for many years. General Yu's spirit is the same as before."

Yu Jin smiled bitterly and said, "Thank you for your concern to the Prime Minister. I will send a message to you on the Prime Minister's order. The Prime Minister wants to say a few words to the Prime Minister. Are the Prime Minister willing?"

"Yes, I'm looking forward to having a while with the Prime Minister."

Liu Jing pointed to the floating bridge with a whip and said with a smile: "Just talk on the floating bridge! Thanks to General Yu for not burning the floating bridge."

"I'll report to the Prime Minister now!"

Yu Jin was nervous and turned around and wanted to leave, but Liu Jing stopped him, "General Yu, please stay!"

Yu Jin slowly turned around, "Is there anything else in the state governor?"

Liu Jing smiled, "I have always regarded the general as an old friend. Although we have had many grudges, when we think about it now, it is a kind of fate. I have a saying, please remember it."

"Prince of the State Council, please speak, and listen carefully."

Liu Jing said slowly: "After General Yu wants to leave one for himself, I believe that General Yu will have a day to regain his strength in the future."

Yu Jin was shocked all over. He understood what Liu Jing meant. He bowed silently and turned around and left.

After watching Yu Jin walk away, Liu Jing laughed meaningfully. Yu Jin was already moved by his own words, or he lacked confidence in Cao Cao. Yu Jin is like this. What about other Cao army generals?

Half an hour later, Liu Jing and Cao Cao each took more than a dozen guards to the floating bridge and met in the middle of the floating bridge. At this time, a section in the middle of the floating bridge had been demolished, and the two sides were five meters apart. Although the guards on both sides did not bring crossbows, they were still looking at each other with caution.

"My nephew, don't you be fine!" Cao Cao smiled heartily.

Liu Jing bowed with fists and said, "The Prime Minister is old, but he wants to go to the battle himself. In such cold weather, I hope the Prime Minister will take care of his health."

Unlike Liu Jing's sarcasm when he met in the valley last morning, this time Liu Jing spoke very sincerely, caring about Cao Cao's body, just like the younger generation caring about the elders, which made Cao Cao feel a little moved.

He sighed, "My dog ​​is incompetent and cannot go on a battle for me. He can only be an old horse in the stable. However, it is the responsibility of his nephew to go on a battle in such cold weather!"

"I just don't want to hurt farmers. The wars have been going on for more than 20 years, and the people of the world have suffered a lot. I really hope to end the war as soon as possible, unify the world, and then reduce taxes and taxes, so that the Han people can rest and rest for the rest of the year. This is my greatest wish."

Cao Cao nodded and sighed, "I can understand the ambition of a virtuous nephew. In fact, I am the prime minister of Han. My ancestors and I have been grateful to the Han Dynasty for a long time. I also hope that the Han Dynasty can continue, and I hope that there will be another Jingzhi rule. I proposed that I would like to support my virtuous nephew as the emperor. We both work hard to govern the Han Dynasty and retain a reputation for eternity. However, my virtuous nephew refuses to accept it. I regret it until now."

Liu Jing smiled faintly, "I can accept the prime minister's kindness, but can the prime minister accept the control of Chengdu?"

Cao Cao's face changed. Of course, he knew what Liu Jing meant, that was to accept the multi-ethnic system and give up power. How could it be possible? He sneered in his heart and pretended to be regretful on his face: "I am not incest for power, but I have a lot of grudges. If I lose power, I am afraid that those who want to kill me will squeeze through my door. In order to save my life, I have to hold a sword in my hand."

"The Prime Minister's words are inappropriate. As long as I don't kill the Prime Minister, who in the world dares to touch the Prime Minister's hair? If the Prime Minister is willing to delegate power, I will protect the Prime Minister and the Cao family. If the Prime Minister is obsessed with it, I am afraid that there will be no Cao surname in the world in the future!"

Cao Cao was furious and pressed the hilt of the sword and glared at Liu Jing, "Are you threatening your true nature?"

"I am not threatening the Prime Minister, but just frankly speaking. When will the Prime Minister be in power? At this time, the Prime Minister should consider his name behind him more."

Cao Cao stared at Liu Jing, gritted his teeth for a while and said, "It was my lifelong hatred for not killing you in Rangshan back then."

Liu Jing laughed loudly, and he stopped laughing and said coldly: "This is God's will. God asked me, Liu Jing, to restore the great man. I have a loyal message, please remember it!"

"You said!" Cao Cao suppressed his anger and burst out these two words from his teeth.

Liu Jing bowed to him, "The Prime Minister's family affairs are also the affairs of the world. If I were the Prime Minister, I would make Zhigong the world the world. It is unpleasant to speak honestly. The Prime Minister respects himself!"

After saying that, Liu Jing turned around and strode towards the south bank, but Cao Cao did not make any attack. He looked at Liu Jing's back and chewed Liu Jing's last words repeatedly, making Zhigong the world. He realized that this was not Liu Jing's alarmist words, but had a deep meaning. At this time, Cao Cao sighed, and he suddenly felt as if he was ten years older.

Cao Cao waved his hand tiredly, "Let's go!"

With the help of two guards, he staggered towards the north shore

Cao's army set up a camp on the north bank, and tens of thousands of soldiers were busy digging up the walls of the earth and building the walls. In Cao Cao's tent, the soldiers had lit a brazier to make the tent warm as spring. Cao Cao sat on the soft couch wearing a thick robe, holding the record of the grandfather in his hand and was silently reciting, but his mind was not on the book, and he was still thinking about his meeting with Liu Jing.

During this meeting, Liu Jing's aura was completely different from before. In particular, Liu Jing's confidence brought him a great impact, and Cao Cao also felt Liu Jing's domineering aura of domineering the world, which made him feel palpitations.

Cao Cao was still considering Liu Jing's last sentence, 'Family affairs are also the affairs of the world. Please make Zhigong the world!'

This sentence has a deep meaning, and Cao Cao also understood in his heart that Liu Jing was actually implying Cao Pi's ambition, which made Cao Cao have deep concerns. No one's persuasion is as great as Liu Jing's words on Cao Cao. After all, this is related to his name behind him and the whole family of Cao.

At this time, Cao Cao thought of another sentence from Liu Jing, "The Prime Minister is old and can still take power? At this time, the Prime Minister should consider his name behind him more."

He was furious at that time and did not take these words to heart. Looking back now, Cao Cao was suddenly shocked. He stood up, walked to the door of the tent with his hands behind his back, and looked out to the northwest direction, feeling confused.

At this moment, Cheng Yu's voice came from outside, "I have an urgent matter to see the Prime Minister, report it to me quickly!"

Cao Cao opened the curtain and walked out, "Zhongde, what urgent matter is there?"
Chapter completed!
