The book is picked up again.

After Cao Cao heard Liu Bei's words, he glanced at him, shook his head expressionlessly, and said, "Let Brother Xuande Xian disappoint, those seven thousand soldiers have been handed over to General Guan." ”

Speaking of this, he paused slightly, and after looking at Liu Bei, who was full of disappointment, there was a hint of banter in his eyes, and he continued: "However, since Brother Xuande wants to contribute to the alliance so much, then Brother Xuande will be the vanguard in this siege." ”

After finishing speaking, Cao Cao immediately closed his eyes and closed his eyes to recuperate.

He was afraid that the smile in his eyes would be noticed by Liu Bei.

At this time, he admired Liu Bei's cheekiness very much in his heart, and he actually asked himself for the army with empty mouths and white teeth, which was really admirable.

However, he always felt that Liu Bei was a hypocrite, so he only teased him with words, but did not give him real power.

Moreover, Cao Cao also made up his mind in his heart, even if he broke through the Tiger Prison Pass this time, he would not let Liu Bei occupy a place.

I'm afraid Liu Bei never thought that it was because of his slightly hypocritical personality that he lost the position of the prince he had in mind.

After Liu Bei heard Cao Cao's words, his face froze, he originally thought that Cao Cao would push the boat and hand over the seven thousand captives to him.

However, he didn't expect that Cao Cao actually handed over his seven thousand captives to Guan Yu, which made him extremely unhappy.

However, Liu Bei is very good at forbearance, even if he is unhappy in his heart, he still said to Cao Cao with a smile on his face: "Since the alliance leader has an order, of course he will obey the alliance leader's order."

But ......"

Speaking of this, he changed his words and said to Cao Cao with a sad face: "There are only a few hundred soldiers under his command, and most of these soldiers are old, weak, sick and disabled, I am afraid it will be difficult to become the vanguard of the siege."

Please forgive me, it's not that I don't want to contribute, but I really have more than enough strength but not enough! ”

After Cao Cao heard Liu Bei's prickly words, he opened his eyes suddenly, looked at Liu Bei directly for a while, and asked calmly: "Brother Xuande Xian, is this disobeying the order of the leader of this alliance?" ”

After finishing speaking, there was a hint of murderous intent in his eyes when he looked at Liu Bei.

Although Liu Bei is his old friend, he is in the army at this time, and Liu Bei is his subordinate.

As a subordinate, Liu Bei dared to speak to himself like this, did he think that he, the leader of the alliance, was a vegetarian?

Liu Bei was shocked when he saw Cao Cao's eyes.

He also knew that what he said just now was a little rushed because of the displeasure in his heart.

Therefore, he hurriedly saluted Cao Cao and said respectfully: "Please forgive the alliance leader, I am only shallow in my studies, so there is something inappropriate in my words."

What I meant just now was not to shirk the order of the alliance leader, but to be afraid that I would not be able to fulfill the order of the alliance leader.

After all, there are only a few hundred old, weak, sick and disabled under his command, and if these soldiers are used to attack the city, even if they are all lost, I am afraid that they will not be able to open a gap.

Therefore, I was reluctant to receive the order.

It's not that I'm afraid of death, but I'm afraid of delaying the opportunity to attack. ”

After finishing speaking, Liu Bei made a deep bow to Cao Cao with a sincere face.

However, when Liu Bei lowered his head and no one could see it, the expression on his face was very hideous.

At this time, he hated himself very much, hated why he couldn't climb to a high position, and let his former colleagues humiliate him so much!

"Humph!" After Cao Cao heard Liu Bei's quibble, he snorted coldly and didn't say anything more.

Liu Bei's words just now, although they were shirking, were reasonable, and people couldn't find anything wrong, so he didn't bother to pay attention to Liu Bei.

At this time......

"Report ......"

Cao Cao looked at the herald from afar, nodded and said, "Say." ”

After hearing Cao Cao's words, the herald immediately reported: "Cavalry lord, the armies of all parties have all assembled and are waiting for the lord's order. ”

"Oh?" Cao Cao raised his eyebrows in surprise and muttered, "Why are they so cooperative this time?" ”

It's no wonder that Cao Cao has such doubts, when the alliance was just established, Cao Cao wanted to use the armies of other princes, and the other princes were all you pushing me and I pushing you, for fear that Cao Cao would rob their army, why did they suddenly become active now?

Li Zhi's ears were sharp, and he heard Cao Cao's words, so he whispered to him: "The alliance leader is really smart and confused!" ”

When Cao Cao heard this, he turned his head, looked at Li Zhi, and asked, "What does Mr. Mu mean by this?" ”

Because Liu Bei was close by, Cao Cao called Li Zhi Mr. Mu.

Li Zhi looked at Cao Cao, who was full of doubts, smiled, shook his head, and said, "The alliance leader is really blind to Mount Tai.

Dong Zhuo's first general, Lu Bu, has been repelled by the alliance leader, and the morale in the city will inevitably plummet at this time, which is a good time to break through the Tiger Prison.

The alliance leader has already repelled Lu Bu, if the alliance leader breaks through the Tiger Prison Pass by himself, then what else will happen?

If this is the case, after we have succeeded in courting Dong, when Your Majesty rewards meritorious deeds, won't he only reward the alliance leader? ”

"I see." After listening to Li Zhi's explanation, Cao Cao nodded in dismay.

He didn't expect that the reason why the princes were so active was because of merit, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.

However, Cao Cao's heart was very tenacious, so after being lost for a while, he lifted his spirits.

Then, with a solemn face, he shouted to the heralds: "Pass my military order, order all the troops to surround the three missing one, let go of the city wall in the direction of Luoyang City, and besiege the other three city walls with all their might." ”

"Whoa!" The herald replied and hurried away.

After the herald left, Li Zhi thought for a while, and asked Cao Cao with a puzzled face: "Brother Meng De, why don't you send some troops to the side of Luoyang City?" ”

Everyone present, after hearing Li Zhi's words, all looked at Li Zhi with surprised eyes, and a few of them even had contempt in their eyes.

Li Zhi also noticed everyone's gaze, and after he looked at himself, he asked puzzledly, "Why do you look at it like this?" But what's wrong with the lower body? ”

After hearing Li Zhi's words, everyone did not answer his question, but the disdain in their eyes became even stronger.

At this time, Cao Cao began to come back to his senses, and he asked Li Zhi with a puzzled gaze, "Mr. Mu, how could you ask such a ridiculous remark?"

The reason why a gap is opened is to prevent the soldiers in Chenghu Prison from dying heart, so that it is easier to capture the city wall. ”

Speaking of this, he looked at Li Zhi with a suspicious gaze and asked, "Mr. Mu, as far as I know, you are the think tank of the hussar general, why would you ask such a childish remark?" ”

At this time, Cao Cao wondered if Li Zhi had been transferred, after all, Li Zhi was wearing a mask, and no one knew whether he was real or not.

After Li Zhi heard Cao Cao's words, he suddenly patted his forehead, smiled silently, and said, "I didn't make it clear below, so you misunderstood."

What it means is that since we are sure that we will break through the Tiger Prison Pass, why don't we set up a heavy ambush on the road leading to Luoyang City?

After we break through the Tiger Prison, Dong Zhuo will definitely escape from that direction,

As long as we make proper arrangements, even if we can't capture Dong Zhuosheng alive, we will definitely be able to slaughter his retreating army.

In this way, won't it be easy for me to attack Luoyang? ”

After Cao Cao heard Li Zhi's words, his eyes lit up, and he sighed with his hands: "The virtuous brother of the line is worthy of being the virtuous brother of the line!" Really...... Forehead ......"

Speaking of this, Cao Cao was suddenly stunned, because he was too excited, so he told Li Zhi's true identity.

Fortunately, Cao Cao is also a shrewd person, and after he said this, he immediately changed his words: "The virtuous brother of the line is worthy of being the virtuous brother of the line, and even the staff under his command are so smart, the leader of this alliance admires it!"

Mr. Mu is right, as long as we make proper arrangements, we will definitely make Dong Zhuo suffer a big loss! ”

After saying that, Cao Cao immediately summoned a herald and whispered something in his ear.

After hearing Cao Cao's words, the herald nodded and hurried away into the distance.

After a while, Guan Yu took 30,000 elite soldiers and horses and quietly walked towards the path in the distance......
