Chapter 18: A Difficult Task

The next day, at dawn, Cao Ang ordered the troops to withdraw to Xue County to garrison, and he left the camp with Cao Pi.

Just as Cao Jun was evacuating Xuzhou, a system prompt sounded in Li Chen's mind.

[Cao Jun withdrew from the Xuzhou region, congratulations to the host for completing the first phase of the anti-Cao mission.] 】

[Mission Rating: SS.] 】

[Reward: Diamond-level mystery box.] 】

"Good guys!" Hearing the diamond-level blind box, Li Chen is directly a good guy.

The platinum-level blind box has opened a big killer weapon like Li Siye and Mo Daobing, what does this diamond-level blind box have to open?

Without hesitation, Li Chen directly recited silently in his mind: "Open the blind box." ”

[Open the diamond mystery box.] 】

[Diamond-level character: Yuwen Chengdu. 】

[Diamond-level person: Liu Bowen. 】

"Happiness comes too fast, like a tornado?" Goofy was ecstatic in his heart, and he wanted to jump up.

Yuwen Chengdu, General Tianbao, the second hero of the Sui and Tang dynasties. In the entire Sui and Tang dynasties, the force was second only to Li Yuanba's two fools.

Although Yuwen Chengdu is more powerful than Li Yuanba, if Li Chen wants to choose between the two, then there is no doubt that Li Chen will choose Yuwen Chengdu.

Because this is a war, not a gladiatorial arena. Although Li Yuanba is powerful, he is a fool. When it comes to the battlefield, there is no distinction between friend and foe, and killing indiscriminately is completely a double-edged sword.

Yuwen Chengdu is really powerful, and the phoenix wing in his hand is four hundred pounds in weight. And he is not only strong in martial arts, but also born with divine power. Yuwen Chengdu can lift 5,400 catties of copper tripods, and such divine power can be seen.

"I don't know, Yuwen Chengdu can move his wrist with Lu Bu." Li Chen thought so in his heart.

If Yuwen Chengdu brought Li Chen a surprise, then Liu Bowen brought an even bigger surprise. It is true that Li Chen now lacks generals under his command, but there are still Li Siye, Guan Sheng, and Zang Ba, but there is only one strategist, Chen Deng.

Although Chen Deng is not bad, he is still much worse than Guo Jia, Jia Xu, Zhuge Liang and others. However, Liu Bowen's arrival directly made up for Li Chen's lack of strategists.

Later generations have a saying that Zhuge Liang will divide the world into three parts and unify Liu Bowen in the country. There is no doubt that Liu Bowen must be a strategist who is not inferior to Zhuge Liang.

For Cao Cao's Guo Jia and Guo Fengxiao, Li Chen has always been jealous. But now with Liu Bowen, Li Chen has a lot less fear in his heart.

"Report ......"

"My lord, there is a man and a martial artist outside the mansion who have come to take refuge." Just when Li Chen was stunned, a guard reported.

"Quick, let them in." Li Chen hurriedly ordered.

As soon as he opened the blind box, Yuwen Chengdu and Liu Bowen arrived. Not to mention the fast, it is still a text and a martial arts together. Sure enough, with a mature system, bundling is a must-have.

Seven days later.

The news of the hail falling from the sky to break Cao's army has spread in Xuzhou City. Xuzhou, which was originally panicked, was surprisingly stable, and the military spirit was also condensed a lot.

In this era, what is the fastest way to win people's hearts? There is no doubt that it is to engage in feudal superstition.

It is no wonder that the ancient man-made rebellion always had to find some reason, such as Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, who killed the White Snake and rebelled back then, claiming to be the son of the Red Emperor. Another example is what happened later, Mo Daoshiren had one eye and provoked the Yellow River to rebel against the world.

On the side of Cao Jun, due to the successive defeats of the vanguard army, Cao Pi was seriously injured again. Cao Ang didn't dare to attack rashly, so he ordered the army to withdraw to the area of Xue County, Yanzhou, and he took the unconscious Cao Pi to Xudu to report the battle to his father Cao Cao.

Xudu is also the Xuchang of later generations, and now Yanzhou is Cao Cao's base camp, and Xudu, the largest city in Yanzhou, has naturally become Cao Cao's dragon place.

In the previous life, when Cao Cao completely defeated Yuan Shao, he moved the governance office from Xudu to Yecheng, and now Yecheng is Yuan Shao's base camp.

Xuzhou, Yunlong Palace.

"Lord, Lu Bu's prayer." Chen Deng handed a letter of worship to Li Chen and said softly.

Li Chen glanced at the post, and it can be seen from this post that Lu Bu has been chased by Cao Cao at this time, and he heard that Li Chen occupied Xuzhou and defeated Cao Cao's vanguard twice. The meaning of Lu Bu's post is that he wants Li Chen to give him a foothold in Xuzhou, and then the two merge to fight against Cao.

"It seems that Cao Cao has recaptured Puyang, and the next target is us." Li Chen groaned.

"Lord, I thought it would be better to give Xiao Pei to Lu Bu." Chen Deng arched his hand.

"Berwyn, what do you think?" Li Chen turned his head to look at Liu Bowen and asked.

"Xiao Pei is in a special position, once the Cao army attacks in a big way, Xiao Pei will definitely be the place to face the Cao army. It doesn't hurt to let Lu Bu be stationed there. Liu Bowen said after a moment of silence.

Xiao Pei, that is, Pei Guo. In fact, it does not belong to the six counties of Xuzhou, but to Yuzhou. However, Xiaopei belongs to an enclave in Yuzhou, which is far away from Yuzhou, on the contrary, it is only about 90 miles away from Xuzhou, so it has always been managed by Xuzhou.

Xuzhou and Yanzhou handed over, and Xiaopei was like a knife, straight into Yanzhou. Therefore, once Cao Cao's army attacks on a large scale, it must take Xiaopei first before it can take Xuzhou. If not, then Xiao Pei would be able to cut off Cao Jun's food at any time.

Chen Deng and Liu Bowen both felt that they could give Xiaopei to Lu Bu, firstly, because they could let Lu Bu share the pressure on Xuzhou, and secondly, because although Li Chen occupied Xuzhou, in fact, all the troops were gathered in Xuzhou City to resist Cao's army. The control of the six counties of Xuzhou is only nominal, not to mention Xiaopei.

Therefore, giving Xiaopei to Lu Bu is completely generous to others.

Although Chen Deng and Liu Bowen both suggested this, in fact, Li Chen was still a little hesitant. The point is that he knows the history of his past life.

Lu Bu is an anti-bone boy, in the history of his previous life, Liu Bei gave Xiaopei to Lu Bu, who knew that Lu Bu took advantage of Liu Bei's battle with Cao Cao to attack Xuzhou, and then in turn let Liu Bei guard Xiaopei.

After thinking about it, Li Chen felt that he still couldn't take this risk. If you can only fight against Cao Cao, it will be troublesome to be stabbed by Lu Bu, an anti-bone boy. I'd rather resist Cao Jun alone than have Lu Bu, a pig teammate.

Ding Yuan, Dong Zhuo's story is still vivid, and the lesson of blood is in front of him, and he can't help but increase his memory. Li Chen felt that he still had to send troops to expel Lu Bu.

Just when Li Chen was about to make a decision.

[System Task: Blind date with Diao Chan's skin. 】

Li Chen: "??? ”

"That's not good, Diao Chan can marry Lu Bu a long time ago. This is a serious wife, and this task is a dilemma. ”

"If I do this task, won't I be like an LSP." Li Chen thought in his heart.

While thinking about it, Li Chen said: "Hey, I and Lu Bu fought against Cao Jun together, and we are both fallen people at the end of the world, Lu Bu is in trouble, how can I not save it." ”

"According to what the two military advisors said, Berwyn, you stay in Xuzhou to preside over the overall situation. Yuanlong, you go with me to Xiaopei to greet Lu Bu. ”
