"Lord, let's retreat first!" Xun Yu persuaded.

"Why do you want to quit the army? Since this is the case, then we will occupy Xuzhou, stay in Xuzhou to stabilize our foothold, and then go to Yanzhou to attack Lu Bu. ”

Cao Cao raised the Lingqi again, still determined to attack the city, and Xun Yu took the Lingqi away.

"Lord, now that Tao Qian and Liu Bei have joined forces, all over Xuzhou, the army and the people are united, and it is not easy to capture the entire territory of Xuzhou."

"Once we fall into a long battle, Lu Bu and Zhang Miao have stabilized their foothold in Yanzhou, and they are joining forces with Tao Qian to attack us back and forth, what should we do?"

Cao Cao was robbed of the Lingqi by Xun Yu and was about to get angry, when Xun Yu said this, Cao Cao fell into deep thought.

"Lord, withdraw!"

"Withdraw, first go to Fan County, Dongjun County to see Cheng Yu."

Under the gaze of Tao Qian and Liu Bei, the 200,000 Cao army receded like a tide.

The three brothers of Liu Guan and Zhang became the gods of Xuzhou, and Liu Bei's deeds of retiring 200,000 Cao Jun in a letter were praised all over Xuzhou.

Tao Qian expressed his gratitude and sent Liu Bei 5,000 Danyang troops, and the three brothers Liu Guan and Zhang led nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses to garrison Xiaopei.

After Cao Cao returned to Dongjun, he quickly arranged for Xiahoudun to lead troops to garrison Dong'e, and Xun Yu led his troops to Juancheng to garrison.

He led his troops to Fan County.

"Lord, my subordinates should be damned, they didn't hold Yanzhou." When Cheng Yu saw Cao Cao, he knelt down in a panic and pleaded guilty.

"Cheng Yu, hurry up, this time you can hold the county seat of the three places, you are my Cao Cao's great benefactor, and in the future, you will be Dongpingxiang."

"Thank you, Lord for your favor!" Cheng Yu was busy thanking.

"Cheng Yu, come on, tell me about the current situation in Yanzhou."

"My lord, today's Yanzhou has basically fallen into the hands of Lu Bu and Zhang Miao, and Yuzhou has also fallen into the hands of Guo Gong."

"How many soldiers and horses does Lu Bu have? Can you conquer my Yanzhou lands? ”

"Lord, Lu Bu doesn't have many soldiers and horses, but Chen Gong has a plan for him!"

"Chen Gong? Okay, one Chen Gong, plus another Zhang Miao, no wonder Lu Bu dared to take my Yanzhou. ”

Cao Cao kept beating his chest, calling the villain mistaken me, and Cao Ren was busy applying Zhang Guang's ointment to his forehead.

When Cao Cao saw the ointment, he immediately remembered Zhang Guang.

"Cheng Yu, what about Chen Liucheng? Where is Chen Liucheng's Zhang Guang now? Cao Cao hurriedly asked.

"Lord Yu, according to the news, Lu Bu teamed up with Zhang Miao to attack Yanzhou, and the first battle to attack Yanzhou was to attack Chen Liucheng."

"However, Pang Tong, who was stationed in Chen Liucheng, led the army to defeat Lu Bu, and later, there was no news of Chen Liucheng."

"Pang Tong? What about Zhang Guang? Didn't he stay in Chen? Cao Cao was in a hurry, and when Cao Jun was in danger, he thought of Zhang Guang.

"No, it is said that after he went to Juancheng to find the lord, he disappeared and did not return to Chenliu, and no one knows where he went."

"What? Zhang Guang is missing? ”

Cao Cao seemed to have suddenly lost his spirit, fell backwards, and his whole body was nested in a chair.

His eyes looked ahead, dazed, lost his brilliance, and the corners of his mouth kept trembling.

"Big brother, big brother, what's wrong with you?" Cao Ren hurriedly reached out and stroked Cao Cao's forehead.

"I'm fine, let me think for myself."

"Let's go." Cao Renping retired from the fierce generals, and walked out of the house himself, gently closing the door.

Cao Cao picked up the bottle of ointment, and regretted it in his heart, even his intestines were blue.

Cao Cao thought of the first time he went to the blacksmith shop in the east of Chen Liucheng to find Zhang Guang's words.

It seems to have started at that time.

Anything, as long as you listen to Zhang Guang, it will be smooth sailing and fruitful.

If Zhang Guang was doubted, Cao's army would have suffered heavy casualties.

It's like this time, if you listen to Zhang Guang patiently.

According to what Zhang Guang said, if Xiahoudun, Li Dian and others were left behind with tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, Yanzhou would not be lost.

"Cao Cao, Cao Cao, why can't you change your suspicious character? Even if you can't change it, you can't be suspicious of Zhang Guang! ”

Cao Cao was suspicious of his own paranoia, and his anger went straight to the chest.

"Xiahou Yuan, Cao Ren, Cheng Yu, as well as Li Dian, Le Jin, you all come in."

After all the generals of the Cao army entered, Cao Cao immediately returned to normal, and the attitude of giving up who he was and despising the world appeared on Cao Cao again.

"Cheng Yu, continue to garrison Fan County."

"Xiahou Yuan, you lead 30,000 soldiers and horses to follow me to Chenliucheng."

"Cao Ren, you take all the remaining generals, lead the army, all the way to the south, whether it is Lu Bu's soldiers or Zhang Miao's soldiers, they will all be killed!"

"Big brother, are you going to Chen Liucheng to find Zhang Guang? Isn't Zhang Guang not in Chen Liucheng? Besides, it's a long way to go, so what if something happens on the road? Cao Ren dissuaded Cao Cao.

"What could happen? No matter where Zhang Guang goes, he has to see people in life and corpses in death. ”

Cao Cao made up his mind, got up and walked out of the house: "Xiahou Yuan, follow quickly."

"Lord, Zhang Guang's Ninth Legion now has 40,000 people, let's go over like this, if he has two hearts, we will be finished!"

Now Cao Cao can use the forces to attack Lu Bu and Zhang Miao, that is, more than 100,000.

And Lu Bu and Zhang Miao, who recruited the defenders of Yanzhou Zhucheng and recruited hungry people from all over the country, also had 100,000 people.

After Lü Bu captured the cities of Yanzhou, there was food, land and people.

And Cao Cao, there are only three cities, and there is not much grain in stock, if Zhang Guang thinks about it, he will definitely choose Lu Bu.

Xiahou Yuan was very worried about this trip.

Cao Cao had already made up his mind and was no longer suspicious of Zhang Guang, no matter how Xiahou Yuan dissuaded him, he insisted on going to Chen Liucheng to find Zhang Guang.

Chen Liucheng, early in the morning, Zhang Guang was still eating noodles in a fortune-telling noodle restaurant, and Pang Tong and Dian Wei ran from the city wall together.

"Big brother, big brother, Cao Cao and Xiahou Yuan arrived outside the city, with more than 30,000 soldiers and horses!"

"Cao Cao? Still here, Dian Wei, go open the city gate and let Cao Cao and them enter the city. ”

"Big brother, Cao Cao has 30,000 people!" Pang Tong accentuated his voice and reminded Zhang Guang to be on guard.

"What's wrong? Are we still afraid of Cao Cao's more than 30,000 people? Go quickly, open the city gate, and bring Cao Cao to the noodle shop. ”

Dian Wei ran to open the city gate, Pang Tongyi followed behind with a depressed face, this Cao Cao, now he has no place of his own, why are you still coming to Chen Liucheng?

Outside the city, when Xiahou Yuan was about to wait impatiently, the city gate opened.

Only Dian Wei appeared at the gate of the city alone.

"General Cao, my eldest brother is invited, or a fortune-telling noodle shop."

"Okay." Cao Cao didn't care about explaining the matter of soldiers and horses to Xiahou Yuan, so he entered the city.

"Dian Wei, where are my soldiers? What to do? Xiahou Yuan had no choice but to stand at the gate of the city.

"Whatever you want, go into the city or not, it's up to you." Pang Tong, who followed later, replied first.

"This ......"

Xiahou Yuan was suddenly in a dilemma.

Enter, in case there is a trap in the city, I and these 30,000 people, if I go in, it is estimated that I will not be able to get out.

If you don't enter, Cao Cao has already gone in alone.

Xiahou Yuan finally decided to bring a thousand people in to protect Cao Cao, and the rest of them stayed outside the city.

"Dian Wei, you are watching at the city gate, I went to prepare food for them, I ran from Dongjun, it is estimated that I didn't eat anything along the way, and I was already hungry."

Since Zhang Guang had decided to continue to befriend Cao Cao, Pang Tong simply did his best and prepared pancakes and mutton soup for Cao Jun outside the city.
