In order to use the Qingzhou Yellow Turban to cause great turmoil in Yanzhou, Cao Cao returned to Yanzhou to dominate and obtain the position of state pastor, so he agreed to the request of the envoy sent by Liu Qi.

Cao Cao told the other party that he was willing to give Liu Qi the face to withdraw his troops and leave Nanyang County, and asked him to go back and inform Liu Qi.

In this way, he achieved his goal and sold a favor to Liu Qi.

The envoy representing the Jingzhou Army was overjoyed when he saw that Cao Cao had agreed to his request. After thanking Cao Cao repeatedly, he quickly returned to his camp to report to Liu Qi.

Liu Qi was very pleased after receiving the news.

Sure enough, the influence of Qingzhou Yellow Turban is indeed beyond most people's imagination.

According to most people's thinking, although the number of Qingzhou Yellow Turbans is large, they include old, weak, women and children. They must be defenseless against the soldiers of the local counties and states in Yanzhou.

But who could have imagined that the result would turn out like this?

The spies of the Jingzhou Army in Yanzhou naturally reported the situation in Yanzhou to Liu Qi.

When Liu Qi listened to the report about Yanzhou, the captains and Sima Jin at all levels were present.

After everyone heard about Liu Dai's death and Bao Xin being besieged by the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans, they were all shocked and lost their composure.

Who would have thought that the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans could be so brave when they were forced to a dead end.

When they heard Liu Qi say that he would write a letter to ask Cao Cao to retreat, everyone still didn't believe it. But looking at the current situation in Yanzhou, Liu Qi clearly gave Cao Cao a step down, allowing him to return to Yanzhou and seize the opportunity to seize power.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the current internal emptiness in Yanzhou due to the war is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Cao Cao, and he will never miss it.

The victory or defeat of Nanyang County was of absolutely no value to Cao Cao at this moment.

After listening to the reports from the envoys and spies who went to Cao Ying, Cai Mao stood up first and praised Liu Qi profusely: "Sister-in-law, what a good plan!"

When the generals in the tent heard this, they couldn't help feeling cold all over.

Huang Zhong and Li Dian looked at each other, both feeling speechless.

Cai Mao is really a very thick-skinned guy.

Liu Qi smiled slightly, waved his hand, and said: "Degui is very complimentary. In fact, I just got some news about the situation in Yanzhou in advance, and I just made some plans to deal with the situation. Whether it succeeds or not, it's just a gamble."

It's just a matter of luck, I can't bear such praise."

Cai Mao laughed loudly and said: "What my brother-in-law said is really modest. If you were someone else, why wouldn't you send someone to Yanzhou to find out the reality of the Yellow Turban? My brother-in-law is still far-sighted and has a unique vision, which is beyond the reach of other people. How can we not admire him?"

Zhang Yun stood on the right side, staring at Cai Hao dumbfounded, the muscles on his face twitching back and forth.

This guy said everything I wanted to say? How will I behave in front of Boyu in the future?

Zhang Yun took a deep look at Cai Mao and began to have a sense of crisis in his heart.

It is really unbelievable that among the Jingzhou people, there would be people who would compete with me for this food. It is really intolerable.

At that moment, Zhang Yun stood up and said to Liu Qi: "The Lord of Fu plotted against Cao Cao this time. In addition to strategizing, this strategy also reflects the Lord's emotion and magnanimity. If it had been anyone else, he might have taken advantage of this opportunity.

Send troops to trap Cao Cao and prevent him from returning to Yanzhou... When his rear is completely in chaos with the Yellow Turbans, he will definitely be victorious. The emperor sympathized with the soldiers and thought of the suffering of the people of Yanzhou. He could not bear to fight with them, so he let him go.

Go, you are truly a benevolent person and a role model for the world. Who among us dares to disapprove?"

Liu Qi smiled bitterly and said: "This is nothing, brother, please don't make fun of me... The world's model is Yuan Benchu, I can't afford it."

Cai Mao glared at Zhang Yun fiercely, sighing in his heart that Zhang was really a flatterer!

He also hurriedly boasted next to him and praised him endlessly.

Not to be outdone, Zhang Yun also faced the difficulties.

The two of them started to flatter each other in the handsome tent.

When the other generals heard the disgusting dialogue between the two, their hearts were turned upside down, and some of them were so sick that they almost wanted to vomit.

However, in front of Liu Qi, everyone was really embarrassed to be too straightforward. In desperation, they all looked up at the top of the tent and turned a deaf ear to what they said.

When they were young, the two were tired of arguing, but Cai Mao suddenly asked Liu Qi: "Now that Cao's army is about to withdraw, and Yuan Shu's army is hiding in Wancheng, what should my sister-in-law do next?"

Liu Qi smiled politely at Cai Hao and said, "I would like to hear Degui's advice."

Cai Mao shook his head in a rare move and said humbly: "How can I compare with my sister-in-law in terms of resourcefulness? My sister-in-law only cares about the overall situation, and Mao is willing to serve as a branch school under my sister-in-law."

Liu Qi pondered for a moment, shook his head and said: "Actually, I haven't figured out what to do next. Cao Cao has withdrawn from Nanyang County, but it does not mean that Yuan Shu is willing to give up Wancheng. At present, Yuan Shu's power is in all counties.

He is relatively scattered, but this lack does not mean that he lacks strength. Once he gathers all his strength, he may be extremely unbeatable, so if he wants to defeat Yuan Shu... he must make further plans."

Speaking of this, Liu Qi stretched out his hand to rub his temples and said: "I am really tired from this period..."

This is not a pretentious statement. Since the beginning of the expedition, Liu Qi has traveled north and south, east and west, and fought fiercely across the southern border with various enemies. He has indeed suffered a lot of fatigue.

In the current situation, he really needed to take a good rest and relax.

Zhang Yun got ahead of Cai Mao this time and said, "I will go out hunting with the Lord in the afternoon. How about relaxing a little?"

The ancients generally used unique ways to relax, either drinking, dancing, eating chicken, or reading and shooting.

Obviously, the most suitable activity for Liu Qi to relax at the moment is hunting.

When Cai Mao saw Zhang Yun taking the lead, he also said: "Sister-in-law, I am also willing to go."

Zhang Yun frowned, turned to look at Cai Hao, and said dissatisfiedly: "I invited my brother to hunt with me, what does that have to do with you?"

The implication is that you can stay where you want to cool off.

Cai Mao did not back down, raised his head and said, "My sister-in-law is going hunting, how can I, as my brother-in-law, go with me?"

Liu Qi's scalp felt like it was going to explode when he heard these two people's shameless remarks.

He smiled helplessly and interrupted the argument between the two of them, saying: "Don't argue, you two. It's just about hunting a few rabbits. Let's go together."

Zhang Yun hurriedly cupped his hands and said: "A certain person is shooting a rabbit. If the Lord goes there, he will be shooting a deer!"

Cai Mao said disdainfully: "Aren't you belittling my sister-in-law with your words? My sister-in-law is a tiger shooter! How can I shoot a deer?"

Liu Qi: "..."

…

To the south of Xinye City is a mountainous forest with many wild animals hidden in it.

Liu Qi, Cai Hao, Zhang Yun, Huang Zhong, Tai Shici and others went out hunting together for an afternoon, and they were quite relaxed during the period.

Liu Qi's archery skills were taught by Huang Zhong. During this period of march, he began to learn the technique of "shooting the bow from left to right" with Tai Shici. Although he had not yet fully mastered it, he seemed to be quite accurate when shooting.
