Tao Qian didn't have much confidence in Liu Bei, he was ready to take his wife and children to flee for his life once he learned that Liu Bei was defeated.

In the end, he learned that Liu Bei successfully resisted Cao Cao and forced Cao Cao to withdraw his troops, and the excitement in Tao Qian's heart was needless to say. For Liu Bei's request for more troops, Tao Qian was a hundred willing, and he also personally led the troops to cheer Liu Bei on.

Tao Qian came in person, which made Liu Bei feel valued, and Liu Bei thought that his ability was finally recognized by Tao Qian. Otherwise, he wouldn't have come in person. In Xiaopei City, the two talked and laughed, and Liu Bei promised that he would be able to defend this last line of defense for Xuzhou. With Liu Bei's assurance, Tao Qian felt a lot more relieved, and he could sleep peacefully tonight.

After Cao Cao's army set up camp, he gathered his henchmen and began to analyze Xiaopei's defense. Cao Cao saw from today's battle that Xiao Pei was not easy to fight. The three brothers of Liu Bei are not ordinary figures, with them guarding Xiaopei, Cao Cao is afraid that he will have to pay a lot of sacrifice to break through. In response to this situation, Cao Cao began to formulate a detailed attack plan, and Cao Cao's henchmen felt that there was no problem. Seeing that there was no objection, Cao Cao began to arrange tomorrow's military operation. Cao Cao's generals all patted their chests and promised to take down Xiao Pei tomorrow, and looked at Liu Bei's dog head.

And just as Cao Cao was about to announce the dismissal of the meeting, a knight rushed in and said anxiously: "Report to the lord, Yuan Shu led an army of 200,000 from Runan, and the troops went straight to Xuchang, and several cities have been connected. Xuchang was shaken, and the officials and the people were in panic. Xun Junshi sent a small one to report the news, asking the lord to return to Xuchang as soon as possible. Here is Xun Junshi's emergency document, please take a look. ”

"Quick, bring it." Cao Cao said anxiously.

Xu Chu hurriedly took the paperwork from the knight's hand and handed it to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao opened the document and looked at it, and confirmed that it was Xun Yu's handwriting, as well as the relevant code.

Xun Yu made it clear in the emergency letter that the threat of Yuan Shu's army was very dangerous, and he hoped that Cao Cao would come back as soon as possible, otherwise he would not be able to prevent it.

When Cao Cao saw this, he was furious in his heart, and scolded: "Yuan Highway, I want you to die without a place to be buried!" ”

The henchmen in the tent all took the documents and watched them, and they were all furious, scolding Yuan Shu for not being a thing.

"My lord, Xuchang is the foundation of our army, if it is broken by Yuan Shu, our army will be in trouble. My lord, please return to the army immediately, and there will be no further delay. Cheng Yu hurriedly said.

After Guo Jia finished reading it, he said worriedly: "Lord, Yuan Shu should be going to the Son of Heaven." Yuan Shu built a palace comparable to a palace in Shouchun, and his ambition was already clear. The lord must return to the army. Xuzhou is placed here, and there will be a chance to occupy it next time. If the Son of Heaven is gone, it will be difficult for the lord to have the current advantage in the future. ”

"That's right, Lone must return to the army. The order was sent down, and the troops were withdrawn and returned to Xuchang tonight. "Cao Cao is a decisive person, he knows how to make trade-offs, and he makes a decision right away.

"The lord is wise." Guo Jia and the others said in admiration.

Xu Chu said: "What if Xiaopei's Liu Bei comes out to block it?" ”

"Lone gave him a hundred dares, and he didn't dare to come out. Lone will not give him a chance, and the whole army will secretly withdraw tonight, leaving an empty camp for them. Cao Cao sneered, he wouldn't be stupid enough to give Liu Bei a chance to stop him.

In the middle of the night, Cao Jun began to leave Xuzhou at night. And Liu Bei and others in Xiaopei City discovered Cao Cao's abnormal movements, but even if Liu Bei found out, he could only stay in Xiaopei City honestly.

It wasn't until it was dark and Cao Cao's barracks were empty that Liu Bei sent a death squad to inspect it, and finally learned that Cao Cao had evacuated. Xiao Pei Chengzhong was overjoyed, and the cautious Tao Qian immediately sent scouts to inquire about Cao Cao's news. It was discovered that Cao Cao's army was advancing directly in the direction of Xuchang. Tao Qian and Liu Bei guessed that something should have happened to Cao Cao's rear, otherwise they would not have withdrawn in such a hurry.

A few days later, the battle between Cao Cao and Yuan Shu came, and Tao Qian and Liu Bei celebrated each other. Tao Qian took advantage of this opportunity to send a large army to recover all the territories previously occupied by Cao Cao.

History seems to have a kind of inevitability, and now there is no Lu Bu to cause chaos for Cao Cao, but there is a large army of Yuan Shu coming to Xuchang. Cao Cao, a traitorous male, is destined to be tempered into steel.

Yuan Shu originally stayed in Shouchun, holding the jade seal of the country, ready to find an opportunity to realize his dream of the Ninth Five-Year Supreme.

But one night, Yuan Shu had a nightmare. He dreamed that a man in a dragon robe took away the heirloom jade seal in his hand and killed himself.

Yuan Shu woke up from a nightmare and had insomnia all night. Yuan Shu thought about it, only God's warning to himself, a person with the destiny of the Son of Heaven, and the only one who could wear a dragon robe was Liu Xie. In order not to let the nightmare become a reality, Yuan Shu decided to send troops to attack Xuchang and did Liu Xie, who was hiding there, so that no one could threaten him.

Yuan Shu led an army of 200,000 from Runan and killed Xuchang. Although Cao Cao had been guarding against Yuan Shu for a long time, he did not expect Yuan Shu to send troops so resolutely. The 200,000 army directly broke through the defense line set by Cao Cao, and no one could stop it along the way, and several cities were connected. And Yuan Shu's military discipline was corrupt, and most of the generals in his hands were born as thieves, and after entering Cao Cao's territory, the people suffered.

Fortunately, Cao Cao left Xun Yu in Xuchang, so he didn't let Yuan Shu's march too fast. However, Cao Cao's army will not be able to return to Xuchang for a while and a half, and Xun Yu can only continue to drag Yuan Shu's footsteps, hoping that Cao Cao can come back in time.

With the speed of the march, Yuan Shu also began to get carried away, feeling that he was already invincible in the world.

Yuan Shu's army finally came to the city of Xuchang and surrounded Xuchang to the ground. Xun Yu had already mobilized the people of the whole city to start holding on to Xuchang, and swore that he would not give Xuchang to Yuan Shu.

Liu Xie in the palace of Xuchang City was also very scared, since Dong Zhuo was in turmoil, he had not suffered a military disaster, and after settling down for a long time, Liu Xie was a little overwhelmed when he faced such a situation again. Xun Yu personally went to the palace and said that even if he died, Liu Xie would be preserved, and Cao Cao's army would soon return. With Xun Yu's assurance, Liu Xie put his mind at ease.

Yuan Shu now regards himself as the future emperor, and his travel is completely in accordance with the emperor's specifications, and he is almost not publicly proclaimed emperor at present.

Sitting on the soft couch carried by sixteen people, Yuan Shu looked at Xu Chang with a cold look in his eyes.

"As long as Liu Xie is killed, then I can become a true dragon emperor. The world is my Yuan Highway. Yuan Shu thought in his heart.
