Jia Xu also said: "The remaining food in the army is only enough for us to use for half a month, and then we will have to starve. Perhaps we can collect food from the people, but we may not be able to collect it."

With the current situation, it is the most unfavorable to them and is becoming more and more serious.

"Even if you can collect food among the people, it may lead to public grievances. In addition, the dilemma of the large army outside, even ordinary people will rebel." Jia Xu continued to analyze.

Cao Cao frowned, thinking in his heart that if Chen Yang was still there, he would definitely be able to deal with it, and he would not even let Ma Chao's trick succeed.

But in this world, there are not so many ifs.

"Where can I go after leaving Xiangyang?"

Cao Cao said helplessly that the world is so big that there seems to be no place for him. What is the difference between an emperor who abandoned the capital and escaped from Liu Xie back then? He actually wanted to live the most annoying appearance he hated the most.

"Go to Jianye, or Wujun!"

Jia Xu affirmed: "We can occupy Jiangdong and rely on the natural danger of the Yangtze River to resist the Jin army going south. The northerners are not good at water warfare, especially in Sima Yi's army, there are also a large number of Xiongnu and Xianbei people. They know nothing about water warfare, and we can all use these."

"Jianye!"

Cao Cao pondered for a long time, but he didn't make a decision for a long time.

It is almost impossible for him to surrender, and Sima Yi will never let Cao Cao go.

If they occupy Jiangdong, they are worried that they will be counterattacked by Sun's family. After all, that is where others have worked hard to fight back.

Jia Xu said loudly: "Your Majesty, we don't have time to think about it anymore. If we still don't make a decision, Xiangyang can only hold on for half a month at most. Ma Chao will never miss any opportunity to attack us."

After a long time, Cao Cao took a deep breath and said, "Transfer my order. Three days later, gather all the forces in Xiangyang, break out and leave Xiangyang!"

"yes!"

Jia Xu immediately went down to make arrangements.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

The Wei army also prepared for this for three days.

After the third day, Zhang Liao and Le Jin were used as the rear guard to disrupt the enemy's troops and sent troops to attack the Jin army. They opened the city gate from the south, abandoned the city and fled.

Zhang Liao and the others also knew how much pressure they were. They led the army to attack the Jin army without any chance, and ignored all artillery, and even fought for the enemy's lives with their lives.

"No, I think the situation is very wrong!"

Wu Ting suddenly said: "Zhang Liao and the others came to attack so crazy, which is very different from before."

Ma Chao suddenly realized: "No, Cao Cao may abandon the city and escape. Come! Go to the south quickly and find out first!"

If Cao Cao hadn't been preparing to run away, Zhang Liao wouldn't have delayed them so wildly. It would be absolutely problematic to do so.

"General Wu, you should try your best to block Zhang Liao and Le Jin, and I will take the troops to see it myself."

Ma Chao thought about it for a long time and couldn't calm down, for fear that Cao Cao would run away and then his plan failed.

"good!"

Wu Ting shouted: "Kill! Those who capture Zhang Liaolejin alive will be promoted to three levels in a row!"

Under heavy rewards, there must be brave men, which is an eternal law.

Countless Jin soldiers rushed towards them desperately.

In an instant, Zhang Liao and Le Jin were already covered in blood.

"General Zhang, it's almost done!"

Le Jin approached Zhang Liao and said, "Can you retreat?"

Zhang Liao raised his head and said, "Hold on for a while, so that Your Majesty can go a little further and follow me to kill!"

They are really crazy and are completely unafraid of death.

"Zhang Liaolejin, why do you have to fight to the death?"

Wu Ting said loudly: "Cao Cao has abandoned the city and fled, so he asked you to stay and cut off the rear. In fact, he asked you to die. Otherwise, you will surrender now. I can guarantee that your official position in the Great Jin Dynasty is no lower than that in Cao Cao's side. How about it?"

Zhang Liao looked up in surprise and found that Ma Chao was no longer by his side. When he heard Wu Ting's words, it was basically certain that they had discovered that Cao Cao had escaped, and Ma Chao was afraid that he had already chased him.

"General Zhang, you can retreat!"

Le Jin screamed in his heart when he heard this.

Zhang Liao also knew that he could not continue to get entangled, so he immediately led his troops to turn south.

Wu Ting would not let them go, and he also led his troops to chase them in the rear.

Not long after, Zhang Liao and Le Jin led the remaining soldiers to chase Ma Chao, and at this time Ma Chao also chased Cao Cao and others.

Because Cao Cao escaped with a large army, with a large number of people, his speed was destined not to be very fast, so it was inevitable that he would be caught up.

"Your Majesty, don't panic, we're back!"

Zhang Liao rushed into Ma Chao's army, and together with Le Jin, attacked Ma Chao's troops from both sides.

However, Wu Ting and others also fought from behind, suppressing Zhang Liao and the others so much that they could not move, making it difficult to rescue Cao Cao as soon as possible.

"I'll block them!"

Xu Chu said loudly: "Your Majesty, give me five thousand people, Lao Dian, protect Your Majesty and leave!"

Before Cao Cao could agree, Xu Chu had already led his troops back.

Dian Wei also wanted to leave and fight to the rear, but considering that there was no one around Cao Cao, he could only stay and follow other generals to the southeast of Xiangyang.

After Xu Chu returned, he quickly met with Zhang Liao and others. He shouted: "Ma Chao, come and fight again!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Chu rushed towards Ma Chao, with a huge momentum and a rainbow.

Ma Chao did not want to fight Xu Chu head-on, so he delayed his pursuit of Cao Cao and hurriedly avoided it.

Xu Chu refused to stick to it and continued to pester it.

The two sides fought for a long time. Although Xu Chu and the others fought hard, they could not resist Ma Chao and Wu Ting and others. They fled in defeat and escaped with blood.

"Chasing!"

Wu Ting shouted loudly.

When Xu Chu followed the Wei army again, Ma Chao and others were still chasing each other.

Cao Cao had to send people back again and constantly blocked and interfered with Ma Chao and others. Both sides fled and chased, and a day passed in the blink of an eye.

Gathering the strength of the entire army to escape, Cao Cao's strength is still very strong, and it is not easy for Ma Chao to catch up.

As the distance of escape went farther, Ma Chao and Wu Ting did not dare to chase after him and had to retreat north to Xiangyang.

Because there is no one stationed in Xiangyang at this moment, it is like an empty city. If they don’t go back to guard it, if something happens, they will be in vain.

It was precisely because Cao Cao and others were able to escape and found that there were no pursuers behind him. Finally, they breathed a sigh of relief and ordered to stop and rest.

"Your Majesty, it's safe now!"

Xu Chu sat helplessly on the ground and sighed: "It's a pity that all my five thousand brothers are dead and will never come back!"

After hearing this, Zhang Liao and Le Jin sighed so much. They brought the people who had left behind, and only hundreds of people could come back, and the rest were dead and would never come back.

When everyone heard these words, they were very heavy, and then sighed, looking helpless.
