There are only 10,000 horses, and they are not Yuan Shao's descendant generals, so Cao Cao naturally knows what he wants to do.

"Yuan Shao, this guy is really poor in donkey skills, doesn't he know who Uncle Liu Huang is? Anyway, if I can take this opportunity to kill Liu Bei, it can be regarded as a matter of my heart, kill Liu Bei, who can go on the expedition? ”

This is what Cao Cao said when he was discussing countermeasures in front of the military generals of Wenchen, he didn't take the 10,000 people sent by Yuan Shao in his eyes at all, and the purpose of this battle was only one, that is, to kill Liu Bei, the person who had cheated him several times.

"Sikong, I'm going to kill this fang! Blame for the sin! ”

It was Cao Ren who spoke.

During this time, Cao Ren was still quite aggrieved, and he didn't approve of Cao Cao's going to Guandu to fight and let him defend the city in Xuchang.

After all, you can get combat merits in war, what Cao Hong, Le Jin, Yu Ban, and Xiahou Yuan are all people who have killed people in the battle with Yuan Shao.

But not only did he have no credit for defending the city, but he also lost Liu Xie, the only valuable person in Xuchang City, and he was still quite aggrieved in his heart.

Cao Cao looked at Cao Ren, then raised his eyes and glanced at the other generals.

I also know in my heart that Liu Bei has a fierce general like Zhang Fei by his side, and in terms of force alone, he may be on par with Guan Yu.

When Guan Yu first came, he once told Cao Cao that his ability was nothing, and Zhang Fei, who was like a brother to him, was called a real bull breaker, and if he wanted to take the general's head in the army, it was as simple as reaching out to take something out of the sack.

Although most of this is Guan Yu's self-humility, if Zhang Fei has no ability, Guan Yu can't praise him, right?

"Okay, you will be the main general in this battle, Li Dian is the deputy general, and you can take Liu Bei's head, even if you have a great achievement!"

Cao Ren took the order and went in a hurry, but Cao Cao looked at his back, but he didn't have any confidence.

After arranging this matter, the general generals all withdrew, and Cao Cao left a few core advisers behind, and said in a low voice: "After repelling Liu Bei, we can't give Yuan Shao a chance to breathe, and immediately send troops to attack in the direction of Yecheng, and encroach on Yuan Shao's territory city by city." ”

"Sikong Yingming, now according to rumors that Yuan Shao has been sick in bed since the defeat, I am afraid that his life will not be long, at this time, he can be caught off guard, Yuan Shao is dead, Yecheng dragons have no leader, just take it!"

Xu You has been quite high-profile since he came to Cao Cao's account, especially for the matter of beating Yuan Shao, he is quite positive, Cao Cao said this, and he immediately followed the stick.

"Ziyuan is right, Yuan Shao's three sons each sit on the land of a city, as soon as he dies, the three sons will take the heir, we just sit on the fishing profits, and get the land of Hebei, even if there is no Your Majesty, we can also set up our own door!"

This time, he got Xun You's support, after all, once he could really integrate the current territory of Cao Cao and Yuan Shao.

Cao Cao will become the most powerful prince of the Han Dynasty, and although the emperor is in the hands of Sun Ce in Jiangdong, Cao Cao can disown the rule of the Han Dynasty and directly change the dynasty.

As long as you have the strength, you don't need to take advantage of the emperor's fame.

Cao Cao nodded slightly when he heard this, although he didn't speak, he could already see from his eyes that he definitely didn't take the big man in his eyes now.

Cao Ren and Li Dian sent troops to meet Liu Bei in a fierce manner, and Cao Ren also told Li Dian and several generals under his command to tell him that he must not let the enemy know that their main treasure was to kill Liu Bei.

Otherwise, Liu Bei, who was as slippery as a loach and didn't keep his hands, would definitely escape.

To say that every prince in the late Han Dynasty is good at one thing, if Liu Bei can still be regarded as a prince now, everyone knows that what he is best at is escaping.

Just under Cao Cao's hands, he had already escaped two or three times, so this time Cao Ren was also very careful, for fear that he would run away if he didn't notice him.

"Man Cheng, when we fight with Liu Bei, let's lose to him a few battles first, and then surround them with elite soldiers, and then you and I can just find Liu Bei with our cronies, behead him and go back to his life! Sikong has wanted to kill this fang for a long time, and once he succeeds this time, it will be a great credit! ”

On the way to the march, Cao Ren told Li Dian all the way that he really needed such a credit to make up for his sin of losing Liu Xie.

The two of them were almost discussing, when suddenly a scout of Cao Jun ran back from a distance, and hurriedly rushed over to Cao Ren and Li Dian's war horses.

Cao Ren still understands his scout, and when he looks at his expression, Cao Ren feels a little cold in his heart.

"Is there something wrong?"

"General, Liu Bei and Liu Bi led the army to plunder all the way south of Xuchang, and after learning the news of our army's troops, they divided their troops for some reason, Liu Pi came to us with seven or eight thousand people, but Liu Bei took Zhang Fei and others to part ways."

"Going their separate ways?"

"That's right, because the general told me before that we must find out Liu Bei's whereabouts, and I came back to inform the general when they divided their troops!"

This scout is obviously meritorious to Cao Ren, and Cao Ren hurriedly discussed it with Li Dian when he heard the news, and also decided to divide the army.

Li Dian took 3,000 men and horses to contain Liu Pi, after all, this guy was originally a thief of the Yellow Turban Army and was not good at fighting.

Cao Ren himself took the main force of this time to chase Liu Bei with all his might, since Liu Bei was so shameless that he ran away before he could fight, Cao Ren didn't have to hide it.

Cao Ren thought that since Liu Bei ran away without waiting for the fight, he must have to run somewhere else, but what he didn't expect at all was that he chased after him like this, and Liu Bei went directly to the direction of Yecheng and ran back.

Cao Ren naturally didn't dare to go deep into the hinterland of Yuan Shao to kill Liu Bei, and in the end he could only go back in disgrace.

In the end, Liu Pi became the unlucky one in this battle, and the seven or eight thousand men and horses were killed by Li Dian and Cao Ren almost without leaving a piece of armor, and he was almost not folded in the hands of the two of them.

Although he won the battle, Cao Ren still couldn't straighten his waist, after all, he was going to kill Liu Bei, not to defeat the not very powerful people who had been seven or eight thousand.

And Liu Bi, who fled back to Yecheng, did not say in front of Yuan Shao that Liu Bei had escaped from the battle, and even blamed himself for not listening to Liu Bei's hiding of the main force and using tactics to lure the enemy.

In this way, Liu Bei's status in Yuan Shaojun's army has unconsciously risen a small step, and Guo Tu, who was in charge of Yecheng's big and small affairs during Yuan Shao's serious illness, trusted Liu Bei a lot.
