"Great, Cao Cao is having a hard time this time."

Kuaima sent information, and in terms of intelligence, Chen Gong had already made a move.

And it came suddenly, Cao Cao and they were not prepared, so the fast horse set off a few hours late.

It was these few hours that Cao Cao couldn't receive information for a long time.

"Send someone to send a letter to Liu Bei, if he is willing, give five million dollars, I will let Cao Cao withdraw within three days, he must reply to the letter today, if he does not reply to the letter, Lao Tzu will make trouble for him."

Zhang Fei's eyes widened, and he said, "Big brother, you are trying to trick him Liu Bei." ”

Zhang Fei doesn't know too much strategy, he just likes to go straight.

"Hahaha."

Zhang Ming laughed out loud and said, "Not only do you want to trick him Liu Bei, but also rob Cao Cao." ”

Now, the information is in Zhang Ming's hands.

He immediately asked Liu Bei to send a letter, asking Liu Bei to reply within eight hours, and asked him to prepare the money, once Cao Cao withdrew from the army, he would send the money out of the city.

Zhang Ming sent a lot of special forces to intercept and kill the scouts who came and went, Cao Cao's scouts couldn't get through, and they had to take more than three days to arrive.

The soldier quickly went to deliver the letter.

In the city, Liu Bei received the letter and was very shocked.

And he called them all.

"Zhang Ming wants to help me withdraw from the army, the condition is five million dollars, what do you think?"

"Five million, that's too much." General Cao Bao said.

Mi Zhu also said: "With these five million, we don't have much money left." ”

After the war, it will definitely be restored, and you can't do it without money.

Everyone is reluctant, it's not 500,000, it's 5 million.

But Chen Gui said: "If you can lose some people, the five million will be worth it." ”

Everyone nodded, it is true, but it is really hard to say that Zhang Ming was given money for nothing, and I don't know if there is a conspiracy.

It's hard for everyone to decide.

Liu Bei was inclined to give money.

Break the wealth to avoid disasters, and it was Cao Cao who withdrew first.

But they were also afraid that Cao Cao was pretending to withdraw from the army, but in fact he was trying to seize the city.

If the two cooperate, it is really difficult to make a decision if they want to calculate Liu Bei.

At this time, Chen Deng came out and said, "Gong Liu, you should agree to Zhang Ming." ”

Yes, many people have thought about it, but it is impossible to ensure that it is not a conspiracy, and it is also necessary to convince everyone of a reason.

Chen Deng said: "Liu Gong, if it is a conspiracy, we can plan it, if it is not a conspiracy, the Cao army retreats as soon as possible, and we can restore the peace of Xuzhou as soon as possible." ”

"Okay, that's it."

Liu Bei felt that this reason was enough to convince everyone to make a decision.

After the decision, Liu Bei's operation was fast, and he immediately replied, informing Zhang Ming and agreeing to his plan.

A few hours later, Zhang Ming received the news, because there was Cao Jun in the middle, it was not easy to operate.

"Hahaha, five million is here."

Zhang Ming looked at the reply and was very happy.

He immediately ordered and said: "Hurry up immediately, go and tell Gongming that the scouts of the Cao army can be released at noon tomorrow." ”

It's all arranged.

"Leave a thousand people, prepare to receive Liu Bei's money, and when you get the money, you will immediately run away."

This is a fraud, if Liu Bei knew that it was because Yanzhou was attacked by Lu Bu, then he would definitely jump up.

After receiving the money, leave quickly.

After giving the order, Zhang Ming left with the army, and he was going to join Xu Huang.

Zhang Ming ran in front and headed in the direction of Yanzhou.

Cao Cao didn't know what Zhang Ming was going to do, so he naturally sent Cao Ren to follow.

After running for a long time, when it was almost dark, Zhang Ming and the others were still more than ten miles away from the first pass.

Zhang Ming: They set up camp here.

After setting up the camp, Zhang Ming asked Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun to stay in the barracks, and he took a few people to find Xu Huang.

"Komeito, are you ready?"

"My lord, according to your orders, everything has been ambushed."

Zhang Ming was not particularly relieved, so he went to check it out.

"My lord, we cut down a large number of logs and rolled them down from a great height, enough to block this pass in half."

Zhang Ming nodded, and then said, "I hope I don't need it." ”

He said so, but he was sure that he would be able to use it, so he prepared a second pass.

After checking it out, it was already the second half of the night, Zhang Ming rested for half a night, and then got up.

When I woke up the next day, Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun were still in the barracks, and Cao Ren was also a few miles away.

Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun left the camp very late according to Zhang Ming's order.

By the time we reached the pass, it was close to noon.

"Seal the pass."

"Komeito, let people let the scouts pass, and the scouts can take a detour, up to two hours."

Zhang Ming and the others blocked the pass, and then Zhang Ming ordered the soldiers to cut down some more trees.

At this point they are public operations.

Cao Ren soon received the news that Zhang Ming and they had blocked this place, and this was their way back.

If you take a detour, it will take at least a day and a half more.

Cao Ren immediately sent someone back to report to Cao Cao, and he didn't know what Zhang Ming wanted to do.

After waiting there for about two hours, a scout finally passed through and met Cao Ren's army.

"General, we are really from Yanzhou, Chen Gong rebelled, led Lu Bu into Yanzhou, and now has controlled many cities in Yanzhou."

Cao Ren was shocked, if this was really the case, it would be terrible.

"Do you have a certificate?"

"I have here a letter written by the eldest prince himself."

Cao Ren looked at it, and sure enough, it was written by Cao Ang, and the letter was correct.

"Why did you send it at this time?"

At this point, a long time has passed, and according to the plan, it should have been delivered long ago.

"General, we sent more than 20 teams, and we sent 10 teams on this road, but we saw that there were people along the road to intercept and kill, and there was an army in ambush at the pass in front, and we came here after a long detour."

Cao Ren believed it, this Zhang Ming must have known the news for a long time, so he set up an ambush here at this time.

"Go and tell your lord."

There was a scout who hurried back immediately, and it would take him half a day to get back.

When the scouts rushed back, Cao Cao received them.

At that time, Cao Cao almost fainted, but Guo Jia helped him not to fall.

"Fengxiao, is this the day that is going to kill me?"

Guo Jia said: "Lord, let's rush back, there is still a chance, this Lu Bu is foreign after all, there is not much foundation, we can win." ”

Cao Cao sighed, this matter is too big.

"Order the withdrawal of troops, it's just that Cao Ren said that Zhang Ming blocked our way, and he should have received the news a long time ago."

Cao Cao is now facing a very complicated situation.

Cao Cao stopped attacking, it was already night at this time, and it was normal.

Then the soldiers were ordered to begin pulling out the camp.

This matter was naturally carried out in secret, and he didn't dare to let Liu Bei know, otherwise if he killed it, it would be even more troublesome.

After packing up for three hours, leaving the empty camp, Cao Cao did not dare to stay and left immediately.

After dawn, Cao Cao rushed to Cao Renna, and the two armies were united, but the road ahead was blocked by Zhang Ming.

And outside Xiapi City, Liu Bei and the others discovered Cao Cao's retreat.
