Liu Jing said slowly, "My conditions are very simple. I can let Cao's army escape unstoppable, or I can continue to sign a one-year armistice agreement with the Prime Minister, but the Prime Minister must promise me in writing that I will not be abolished."

This condition made Chen Qun and Jia Xu stunned. Jia Xu was thinking about how Cao's army paid a heavy price to retreat. Unexpectedly, Liu Jing proposed a condition that was incompatible, which made Jia Xu confused.

Chen Qun was even more shocked. Of course he knew what Liu Jing meant, which showed that Liu Jing knew the situation in the capital well, and he proposed this political condition, and the Prime Minister might not agree.

"How is Mr. Chen, do you think the Prime Minister will agree?"

Chen Qun shook his head with a wry smile, "Unexpectedly, I don't know, I must go back and ask the Prime Minister for instructions."

"Mr. Chen, please, if you don't get a reply before dawn tomorrow, then the Prime Minister's retreat will not be so smooth."

Chen Qun said goodbye and left, and Jia Xu asked Liu Jing in confusion: "How could the provincial governor ask this condition?"

"This is why I have received some information recently. There will be chaos in Ye. Of course, I don't want to stay out of the matter at this time." Liu Jing said with a smile.

"But the governor of the state thinks Cao Cao will agree?"

Liu Jing shook his head, "Frankly speaking, I don't know. If he was a little weaker, he might agree, but then he would not be Cao Cao, so I feel he would not agree."

"Since there is a high possibility that we will not agree, what should we do?" Jia Xu asked with a smile.

Liu Jing narrowed his eyes and smiled. Of course he knew what to do. He immediately said to the guard order: "Go and find the general and see me."

.........

Cao Cao's attitude was as expected by Liu Jing, because this was not a military concession or a concession in interests, but Liu Jing made a naked provocation of him politically, which directly violated his vital interests. Cao Cao was furious and slapped the table and said to Chen Qun: "Since he doesn't know anything, there is nothing to talk about. We withdraw our troops overnight and don't pay attention to him anymore."

Chen Qun said with some concern: "But I am worried that Liu Jing will not let us withdraw our troops so easily. When I saw him, I was on a warship at the mouth of Bishuihe River. This shows that he will definitely pursue us from behind, and the Prime Minister must guard against it."

"I know"

Cao Cao sighed slightly, "I just knew he would not give up, so I wanted to reach a compromise with him so that I could escape unsuccessfully, but I couldn't accept his conditions."

"But keeping Empress Fu is also conducive to maintaining the reputation of the Prime Minister." Chen Qun whispered.

Cao Cao's face suddenly sank, and he looked at him coldly, "Long, this is not what you should say."

Chen Qun was so scared that he was silent and did not dare to speak again. After a while, Cao Cao ordered: "Where is Zhang He?"

Soon, Zhang He quickly walked into the big tent, held his fist and bowed, "I'm not going to meet the Prime Minister."

Cao Cao slowly said to him: "Our army will evacuate overnight, but Liu Jing may intercept us from Bishui North. You can lead 20,000 troops to ambush the enemy on Bishui. Bishui is not wider. I believe General Junyi will not disappoint me."

Zhang He bowed and said in a deep voice: "The humble position will never disappoint the prime minister."

An hour later, Cao Cao led the army to retreat north. Cao Chun led 20,000 tiger and leopard cavalry to drive first. Cao Hong and Yu Jin led 40,000 troops to the central army to protect Cao Cao and military officers. Zhang Liao and Li Dian led 20,000 troops to the rear army, transporting supplies, food and grass to the north.

Teams of soldiers left the camp and evacuated to the north. At this time, more than a dozen Han army scouts had already found out about Cao's army's information and swam across the river to report to Liu Jing.

Nearly large and large warships gathered in the mouth of Bishui River, on the large ship, Shen Mi was patiently waiting for Liu Jing's order. At this time, a small boat came quickly, and the soldiers on the ship shouted loudly: "General Shen, Zhou Mu ordered you to set off."

Chen Mi immediately issued an order: "Start north"

Han army warships sailed into the mouth of Bishui River and, under the cover of night, began to sail northward at a very fast speed, as if the Han army was about to intercept Cao's army before retreating to Nanyang.

Bishui originates from Runan, while Qingshui originates from Nanyang. Two rivers travel south side by side, converge at Hekou Town south of Xinye, forming Xinbishui. It continues to rush into the stream and then injects into the Han River. Bishui is just a medium river, with a widest place of more than twenty feet, with an average width of more than ten feet, and can travel a thousand stone warship.

At this time, the remaining warships of the Han army were all walking against the current without pulling sails. The soldiers knew very well that once they were attacked by Cao's army, the sails would be fatal. The entire fleet borrowed the power of the impeller and headed north along the east bank of the river for ten miles. On the Thousand Stone Warship, Chen Mi watched the movements on both sides of the straits with vigilance. His eyesight was good, and he could see the movements outside Yubu in the dark night.

There are lush forests on both sides of the shore, and there is a hint of murderous aura in the dark woods. The fleet began to enter a narrow river channel and moved forward silently. Chen Mi suddenly felt something, waved her hand and "stop the boat"

The ship stopped slowly, and saw a strange layer of luster floating on the river in front of him, and a pungent smell came to his face. Chen Mi immediately realized the danger. The water was floating with tinder oil. He immediately turned around and said, "The fleet turned around."

There was a flash of fire at the top of the mast and the command was issued. The fleet began to turn south, but it turned slowly and seemed too late. Chen Mi ordered again: "Set up a floating gate quickly."

The floating gate is an instrument used by the Jingzhou naval army to deal with oil floating on the water surface. In fact, it is a giant tree that blocks the giant tree on the water surface. The water continues to flow from below, but the oil is blocked. However, just one floating gate is obviously not enough. At least four floating gates are required to block the oil floating.

A dozen soldiers jumped into the river and quickly connected several giant trees. They rushed into the river bank's soil at both ends and established the first floating gate. They stepped back more than ten steps and began to build the second floating gate. At this moment, a blue Wangwang line of fire spread rapidly to this side in the distance. Shen Mi knew that the situation was not good and his warship was too late. He ordered the soldiers and the second ship to board the boat and lead his men to quickly retreat to the large ship behind.

In an instant, fire burned on the water surface and thick smoke billowed the view of both sides of the straits. At this moment, countless Cao soldiers rushed out from the woods to the west. They rushed to the riverside and shot arrows, dense arrows shot towards the big ships, mixed with countless rockets. At this time, 20,000 troops who were ambushing the woods along the coast attacked the Han army fleet on the river.

Han soldiers hid behind the side of the ship and fought back on the shore. Many soldiers used water to extinguish the fire arrows on the deck. From time to time, soldiers were caught in arrows and screamed and fell into the water. The fleet fled south to avoid the fire on the water and to avoid the attack on the shore. It seemed very passive. At this time, seven or eight large ships had been lit by rockets and fire in the water. The fire became bigger and bigger, like fire dragons. The soldiers on the ship panicked and dived and fled.

On the shore, Zhang He was on the war horse, looking very proudly at the Han army warships fleeing south in a panic. The water was not the Han River. On the narrow river, the troops on the shore could completely control the fleet in the water. At this moment, the rumbling sound of war drums suddenly came from behind, and the sound of killing was shocking the sky, and a scream came.

Zhang He was shocked and looked back quickly. He saw two troops suddenly breaking out from behind, like wolves and tigers, killing his army, and breaking Cao's army into two. His soldiers were caught off guard and were in chaos.

Zhang He was stunned. He suddenly realized that he might have been trapped. The fleet on the river might just be a bait. The real Han army attacked him from behind. Zhang He was panicked and took off his big gun and rushed forward. At this time, a general came towards him. It was Wei Yan. He waved his sword to stop Zhang He and shouted, "I am Wei Yan, and the thief generals are here to sign up."

Zhang He did not say a word, and stabbed him with his gun. Wei Yan was furious and swung his sword to slash at him. The two fought fiercely by the river. At this time, the Wan Han army, led by Liu Jing, came from all directions. The Han army had been training for several months in Wudu County for night battles, and had no obstacles in night battles. They were extremely brave and killed the Cao army to retreat step by step.

Zhang He and Wei Yan fought for more than twenty rounds. Zhang He was unwilling to fight. He stabbed seven or eight guns in a row, forcing Wei Yan back a few steps, and urged the horse to rush out of the battle circle. Wei Yan was reluctant to leave and chased him tightly behind. At this time, a soldier shouted in the distance: "General Wei, the governor of the state has an order, the enemy generals should not chase, command the army to fight."

Wei Yan suddenly woke up and gave up Zhang He. He saw that the defeated Cao army had already appeared, but there were still many Cao army struggling to support him and ran through the woods. In a wilderness in the northwest corner, two armies of thousands of people were fighting fiercely. Wei Yan shouted loudly, "Follow me." He led more than a thousand soldiers to kill Cao army in the side.

This is Jia Xu who set up a trap. The warship sailing on the water is bait. If Xun You or Cheng Yu were here, the Cao army might not be fooled, but Zhang He was inferior in strategy after all. Both him and other Cao army generals were used to the Han army heading north by boat. Jia Xu used this thinking habit of Cao army to set up this trap.

At this time, thousands of Han troops on the warship also disembarked and participated in the battle. Cao's army was attacked from both sides and finally couldn't support it. Seeing that the situation was not good, Zhang He would rather retreat than collapse. He shouted, "Send an order to retreat."

The bell for the retreat of Cao's army rang. Although the name was called withdrawal, it was retreating north in the event of failure. Under the double blow of military morale and morale, it was easy to cause a full collapse. Zhang He also understood, but he had no choice but to preserve his vitality to the greatest extent.

"Retreat"

He shouted loudly, nearly 20,000 Cao's troops fled north like a tide. At this time, Liu Jing saw that Cao's troops had retreated and issued an order to attack the entire line. The morale of the Wanhan army was high. As soon as he chased Cao's troops, he killed Cao's troops everywhere. Countless people knelt on the ground and surrendered. After more than twenty miles of this battle, more than 10,000 Cao's troops were killed and injured and surrendered. Liu Jing ordered the troops to withdraw.

"Qi Bingzhou Governor"

Pang De rushed over and bowed his hand, "I am willing to lead the troops to reinforce the general."

Pin led 20,000 troops to land in Fancheng and attack Cao's baggage rear army directly. In terms of time, it should have entered a fierce battle. Liu Jing nodded, "You can lead 5,000 people to attack Cao's back from the left."

At this time, Jia Xu, under the escort of dozens of cavalry, rushed up on horseback and shouted from afar: "Mr. The minister, I have something to say."

Liu Jing went up and asked, "Please give advice from the military advisor."

Jia Xu stepped forward and whispered to Liu Jing: "Cao Cao is so deceitful. Since he sent Chen Qun to seek peace, it means that he knew that the governor of the state would not let him retreat north. He ordered Cao Chun's Tiger and Leopard Cavalry as the vanguard, which may not be sincere. It may be confusing our army. Once the rear army fights, how can the tiger and Leopard Cavalry not appear?"
