Cao Cao and the others were indeed shocked by the scene in front of them, originally they thought that the fierce battle between Liu Bei's army and Lu Bu's army would lead to a defeat for both sides, and in the end they could only be followed by cheap yellow finches for nothing, but they didn't expect that it would be such a result in the end!

Liu Bei's 3,000 cavalry suffered heavy losses, not to mention that even the two most heavyweight figures under Liu Bei were killed and wounded, not to mention that Zhang Fei, who had the courage of ten thousand people, was now injured by Lu Bu's arrow, and since then he has become a eunuch, life is better than death!

And what about Lu Bu's side? Only the corpses of a dozen trapped camp soldiers were left, which made Cao Cao and them feel a palpitation at the strength of Lu Bu's combat power.

Cao Cao got off his horse and stood at the ferry to the sea, looking at the hundreds of behemoth ships that were gradually moving away, frowning.

At this time, Guo Jia, who also got off the war horse, slowly came to Cao Cao's side, first looked at the ship that was gradually moving away, and then found that Cao Cao's brows were furrowed, and he looked worried about the departure of Lu Bu's army.

The smart Guo Jia immediately knew what Cao Cao was thinking now, and couldn't help but explain to Cao Cao: "Sikong, don't worry about Lu Bu's departure, now he is still the tiger, and the combat power is still so strong, we should be happy!" ”

As he spoke, Guo Jia paused before he said again: "At least that's the case now!" ”

"Oh?" Originally, I wanted Lu Bu and Liu Bei to lose both and sit back and reap the benefits of the fisherman, but in the end, it was such a result, which made Cao Cao feel very jealous of Lu Bu's calm departure, and now hearing Guo Jia say this, Cao Cao was immediately very interested.

"Sikong, looking at the whereabouts of Lu Bu's guy, he must go to Sanhan on the other side, and then go north to compete with Gongsun Du for several counties in Liaodong. If Lu Bu really seizes control of the counties in Liaodong at that time, we can let the Son of Heaven issue an edict to entitle Lu Bu as a Youzhou pastor or a general in the west, with Lu Bu's arrogant, restless and self-defying personality, he will definitely not be able to resist the temptation and send troops to fight for Yuan Shao's Youzhou. The enemy of the enemy is a friend, and when the time comes, having Lu Bu in Yuan Shao's rear can also increase our chances of defeating Yuan Shao's army! When the time comes, we will defeat Yuan Shao's army, maybe we will be able to go north to Hebei! As soon as he got down to business, Guo Jia put away his bohemian personality and explained it to Cao Cao endlessly.

Cao Cao, who was frowning, was relieved to hear this, and he couldn't wait for Lu Bu to reach Sanhan immediately, conquer Sanhan, and then go north to occupy Gongsun Du's Liaodong counties, and gain a firm foothold as soon as possible, so as to send troops to Yuan Shao's Youzhou to the west!

Because Cao Cao knew that Lu Bu and Yuan Shao also had a grudge, Lu Bu, who had a firm foothold, would definitely not coexist peacefully with Yuan Shao in the north, not to mention that Lu Bu was not a peaceful person, otherwise he would not have killed his father-in-law Ding Yuan and his father-in-law Dong Zhuo one after another, and had a bad reputation as a 'three-surname slave'.

Don't look at Gongsun Du's fight against Sanhan, Goguryeo, Wuhuan and other foreign races in several counties in Liaodong, it can be said that he is prosperous, as if he is the emperor of Liaodong, but now Gongsun Du is old after all, and he no longer has the ambition of his youth, how can Gongsun Du in his twilight years dare to provoke Yuan Shao, the overlord of Hebei, let alone enter Youzhou and expand the land and population to the west.

Yuan Shao is powerful, even Cao Cao, a hero, does not have absolute confidence to confront Yuan Shao, and then defeat Yuan Shao's army to the south!

Cao Cao knew that Gongsun Du could not be a help for him to resist Yuan Shao's southward movement, so he desperately wanted to find another ally to share it for himself, otherwise Cao Cao, knowing that Liu Bei was a restless person, still wanted to subdue him to enhance his own strength!

Cao Cao is now very glad for a decision made at that time, that is, to welcome back the Son of Heaven into the Xu Capital, so that he can control the Son of Heaven, and in the name of the Son of Heaven to order the princes of the world and increase his political capital!

"Fengxiao, can Lu Bu gain a firm foothold in Liaodong?" Cao Cao looked at Guo Jia, revealing a look of hope.

Cao Cao's question made Guo Jia stunned for a moment, and then he looked into Cao Cao's eyes and said categorically: "Under our soldiers, since Lu Bu has so much courage to defend it, he gave up the fortified city and went to the distant land of Sanhan without fear of the wind and waves on the sea, Jia thinks he must have this confidence!" Sikong, we don't have to pay too much attention to Lu Bu now, the most important thing for us now is to stabilize Xuzhou, which we have just captured, and then go back to Xudu, and prepare to deal with the southward movement of Yuan Shao's army is the most important thing. After all, we have to rely on ourselves, even if we let Lu Bu gain a firm foothold in Liaodong, he will still be our enemy in the future! ”

Guo Jia knew that Cao Cao was a little unconfident about the southward movement against Yuan Shao's army, and in order to increase Cao Cao's self-confidence, Guo Jia could only persuade him categorically, so as to enhance Cao Cao's confidence in fighting against Yuan Shao's army in the future.

"Hmmm! Bonghyo is right! With the persuasion of Guo Jia, one of his most trusted strategists, Cao Cao's expression was immediately stunned, knowing that he was overly worried.

Then, Cao Cao didn't think so much anymore, and came to Liu Bei's side, who was still crying there.

For a big man crying in front of everyone, Cao Cao doesn't know whether to despise him or admire him now? ! No wonder he was able to fight again and again, run away after defeat, and then come out of nowhere and fight again without admitting his fate!

At this time, Chen Dao's body has been put away, and he can find a feng shui treasure to bury it well, and Zhang Fei, who was seriously injured, also has a military doctor who is medicating him to stop the bleeding.

It's just that everyone knows that although the strong and strong Zhang Fei has saved his life under Lu Bu's arrow, I am afraid that he can only be a eunuch in the future, and he can enter the palace at any time to become a eunuch by the side of the Son of Heaven, who can not only serve the Son of Heaven well, but also protect the safety of the Son of Heaven with his force, kill two birds with one stone, and better complete the heart of his brother Liu Bei Kuang to support the Han family!

Cao Cao looked at Zhang Fei's injury and felt a trembling and a pity, after all, what confidence did the man have to live in this world after he couldn't use it? Not to mention that you have to lead troops to fight on the battlefield, and you will not be able to build a world!

Zhang Fei, a person with the courage of ten thousand people, is wasted, and he is still wasted in the hands of his own people!

Although Guan Yu's original intention was to save Zhang Fei, it is better to let Zhang Fei die like this without losing his heroism due to the current result!

For Zhang Fei, Cao Cao just regretted it for a while and stopped paying attention to it, in Cao Cao's eyes, he only valued Guan Yu, who was brave and strategic, as for Zhang Fei, even if he was strong in martial arts, in Cao Cao's eyes, he was also a brainless and impulsive existence.

Cao Cao thought so in his heart, but in the face of Liu Bei and Guan Yu, who were sad, they still persuaded with great concern: "Xuande, Yun Chang, you don't have to worry about Yide, after Yide stops bleeding, you will go back to Xudu immediately, and you will report to the Son of Heaven to find the best imperial doctor in the palace for you to treat Yide's injuries!" By the way, let Hua Tuohua Divine Doctor heal! He is the best at healing external injuries. ”

For Cao Cao's long overdue army, now that I think about it, Liu Bei and Guan Yu also know what Cao Cao is thinking, but now that they are under the fence after all, Liu Bei and Guan Yu will not be so brainless to turn their faces with Cao Cao now, and then be killed by Cao Cao!

Guan Yu nodded and didn't say anything, while Liu Bei put away his anger at Cao Cao, wiped the tears in his eyes, and said with a grateful face: "Then Xuande is here to thank Sikong!" ”

"Hmm!" Cao Cao nodded.

After waiting for the doctor to stop Zhang Fei's bleeding, Cao Cao immediately wrote a document with a stroke of his pen, ordering a junior general to lead a part of the tiger and leopard cavalry warriors to escort and monitor Liu Bei and them to go back to Xudu, so that Hua Tuo could treat Zhang Fei's injuries.

And Cao Cao himself has to stay in Xuzhou for a while, and it is not too late to go back after stabilizing the newly occupied Xuzhou!
