Cao Cao wanted to take a shortcut, and he decided to go through Huarong Road!
Cao Cao said to Xu Huang, "Forget about those fireworks, let's go!"
Xu Huang felt uneasy.
Where war breaks out, there will be armies! Why did Prime Minister Cao choose this path instead?
Cao Cao seemed to have heard Xu Huang's inner thoughts, and instead comforted him: "As the saying goes, what is false can be made real, and what is real can be made false! Whether it is Zhuge Liang or Zhou Yu, it doesn't matter! They are just a bit young! Don't worry, that Liu Bei wouldn't dare to kill me."
If it were Zhou Yu... well, that's hard to say!
While fleeing, Cao Cao pondered this defeat repeatedly.
Cao Cao took some time to think about the alliance between Eastern Wu and Liu Bei.
Liu Bei and Sun Quan weren't born of the same mother, so how could they possibly be a perfect match?
The Liu and Sun families were only acting out of self-interest, needing the two men to unite against Cao Cao.
Especially Liu Bei. Although Liu Bei also wanted to defeat Cao Cao, he probably didn't want Cao Cao to die!
The area around Yiling and Jingzhou was likely where Liu Bei's troops were stationed.
Whether it's Sun Quan or Zhou Yu, their main forces are at Chibi, at the confluence of the three rivers, and at Lujiang! Cao Cao has already passed the area most likely to kill him!
To be honest, Cao Cao really didn't dare to stay in Eastern Wu's territory for long.
Based on his repeated desires for the sister-in-law of the Eastern Wu, and his wish to also take Xiao Qiao into his arms.
With just Cao Cao's magnanimity, the people of Eastern Wu would be eager to devour him.
But Liu Bei...
no the same.
Cao Cao then decided to take the Huarong Road route.
It would be even better if there were no pursuers or ambushes.
What if there are troops lying in ambush...?
Cao Cao took a gamble, betting that Liu Bei, who had spent most of his life wandering and struggling, wouldn't be so foolish.
Could Liu Bei have helped Sun Quan kill Cao Cao?
Then, Sun Quan, with his immense power, turned around and killed Liu Bei.
Is Liu Bei planning to grant Sun Quan the right to unify the world?
Cao Cao took a gamble, betting that Liu Bei wasn't that stupid!
Cao Mengde's life was like a dream, entirely dependent on his gambling skills.
The key point is that Cao Cao won the gamble!
Guan Yu was lying in ambush in Huarong Road.
Guan Yu was unaware of the intricacies and cunning of these political players.
Guan Yu, acting on Zhuge Liang's orders, ambushed Cao Cao at this location.
The key point is that before leaving home, Zhuge Liang made Guan Yu promise that he would not show any mercy when he met Cao Cao.
But when Guan Yu actually saw Cao Cao's current appearance: a man in his fifties, his hair, beard, clothes, shoes and socks were covered in mud, and Cao Cao's face was smeared with soot, he was no longer the majestic prime minister.
How pitiful!
Looking behind Cao Cao, his followers were either wounded or dead, and there was a chorus of sighs and lamentations.
When Cao Cao's soldiers saw Guan Yu, their pitiful little eyes were full of pleading.
They begged Guan Yu to spare their lives.
