Guo Jia's strategy was actually very simple, that is, to let Qin Hua quickly integrate the Taishan thieves and quickly control an army that was enough to support Zhang Liao's army.

And these Taishan thieves also have families, if these people can be moved to Luoyang, then it will be a great supplement to the population of Luoyang.

As long as Qin Hua had 20,000 troops under his command, he was confident that he would support the arrival of reinforcements.

However, what Qin Hua didn't expect was that although Cao Cao had doubts about Qin Hua's position now, he now had other things to do.

Just a month before Cao Cao got the armor of the Xuanjia Cavalry, there were also several wars on the Xuzhou side.

First, Yuan Shu intended to attack Liu Bei, but was persuaded by Lu Bu, and because of Lu Bu's prestige, Yuan Shu did not dare to make a mistake, and agreed to Lu Bu's mediation.

But then, at the suggestion of the strategist, Yuan Shu intended to marry Lü Bu and sent someone to Lü Bu to ask for Lü Bu's daughter for his son.

In fact, he wanted to unite with Lu Bu, intending to attack Liu Bei again.

Lü Bu's advisor Chen Gong knew that Xuzhou was the land of four battles, and although Lü Bu was brave, he did not have an advantage in his forces, and he could face an attack from Cao Cao or Yuan Shu at any time.

So he wanted to facilitate this marriage, so that Lu Bu had a way out.

But what I didn't expect was that Chen Jue's father and son of the Chen family in Xuzhou were dissatisfied with Lu Bu's charge of Xuzhou, and made trouble from it and thwarted the marriage.

After that, Lü Bu sent people to Shandong to buy horses, and Liu Bei's third brother Zhang Fei was dissatisfied that Lü Bu had taken Xuzhou, and robbed Lü Bu's horses halfway.

After receiving the news, Lu Bu was furious and personally commanded 30,000 troops to attack Xiaopei.

Although Liu Bei was annoyed with Zhang Fei's unauthorized actions, he was unwilling to deal with Zhang Fei, and he did not dare to deal with it, because he was afraid that if Zhang Fei was handed over to Lu Bu, Guan Yu would also be separated from him, and the good reputation he had built up with great difficulty would also be ruined.

So Liu Bei met Lu Bu with Xiao Pei's army of 10,000.

Although there are fierce generals such as Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, it is still difficult to resist in the face of Lu Bu's onslaught, and in the end, even Xiao Pei, the last place of refuge, was taken away by Lu Bu.

"For today's plan, the lord can only take refuge in Cao Cao."

When Liu Bei was worried, Mi Zhu suggested to Liu Bei.

"What, you want to go to Cao Apu?"

Zhang Fei was furious and grabbed Mi Zhu's clothes.

"Third brother."

Liu Bei and Guan Yu spoke at the same time and stopped Zhang Fei's actions.

"Cao A concealed the Son of Heaven to order the princes, and before he issued an edict to let his brother crusade against Lu Bu, and then asked his brother to crusade against Yuan Shu, he was simply playing with his brother. How to go to Cao Cao. For the sake of his own glory and wealth, this Mi Zhu instigated his brother to go to Cao Cao, shouldn't he be beaten? ”

Although Zhang Fei stopped, his mouth was still unrelenting.

"General Zhang actually treats Mi like this, if I want to be prosperous and rich, why should I marry my sister to the lord, and how can I exhaust my family wealth to help the lord? I heard that Cao Cao and Qin Hua of Liangzhou are both lustful people, if I want to be prosperous and rich, why not marry my sister to one of these two, with the financial resources of my Mi family, are you still afraid that there will be no glory and wealth? ”

Listening to Mi Zhu's rebuttal, Zhang Fei was speechless for a while.

"Third brother, don't you apologize to Zizhong (Mi Zhu's character)? Zi Zhong is loyal and courageous, and will never do anything to betray the lord for glory. ”

Saying that, Liu Bei also came to Mi Zhu's side and patted Mi Zhu's arm affectionately.

Although Zhang Fei was reckless, he was definitely not stupid, he quickly figured it out and quickly apologized to Mi Zhu.

"It's just a matter of this, General Zhang just needs to know that my advice is for the sake of the lord."

"Then why do you have to go to Cao Apu's place, isn't there anything else?"

"Yuan Benchu killed Gongsun Bogui, if you want to come, the lord must not want to go, Yuan Shu has attacked the lord many times, do you still want to go to Chang'an to find Qin Xuanhu?"

"Isn't there still Liu Jingzhou? This person is also a member of the Han family, and he will definitely be willing to accept his brother. ”

Zhang Fei still did not give up, it seems that he has a deep prejudice against Cao Cao.

"Third brother, there is no need to say more, I heard that Cao Cao coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, I just want to go to see if it is true this time, if there is such a thing, I will definitely not have a break with Cao Cao."

In the end, it was Liu Bei who made the decision and decided to lead everyone to Cao Cao's place.

It's not that he didn't think about going to Liu Biao, after all, they are also the same sect, but Liu Bei's years of wandering experience told him that even the same sect is difficult to get help.

After all, at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there were too many relatives in the Han family, and there were a few who really had relatives.

How many Han clan relatives there were in the late Eastern Han Dynasty can actually be reflected from the ancestors of Liu Bei's lineage.

The ancestor of Liu Bei's lineage was Liu Sheng, King of Jing, the son of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty.

And Liu Sheng has more than 120 sons, after so many years of reproduction, it is conceivable how many descendants Liu Sheng has in this vein, not to mention other royal relatives?

Cao Cao was very pleased with Liu Bei's arrival.

Because of the previous massacre, Cao Cao's reputation in Xuzhou is very poor, but Liu Bei is deeply loved by the people of Xuzhou.

If Liu Bei takes refuge in Cao Cao, then it will be twice the result with half the effort for Cao Cao's attack on Xuzhou.

In order to show his sincerity, Cao Cao personally wrote a letter to Liu Bei as General Zuo.

Originally, Liu Bei's surrender was an excellent thing for Cao Cao, in addition to Liu Bei's reputation, Cao Cao was also very optimistic about the strength of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, which were two rare fierce generals.

But the accident happened when Cao Cao met the Son of Heaven.

I don't know who paid Liu Xie's attention, when Liu Bei was in front of the Son of Heaven, Liu Xie actually took the initiative to ask about Liu Bei's family history after the canonization.

When he learned that Liu Bei was actually King Jing of Zhongshan, Liu Xie immediately found Zongzheng Liu Ai to check the genealogy.

Zong Zheng managed the birth and death records of the Han clan's relatives, and when he checked the genealogy, he immediately confirmed Liu Bei's identity.

"I didn't expect Aiqing to be my imperial uncle, and my Han clan needs a talent like Aiqing."

Liu Xie excitedly stepped down from the throne, came to Liu Bei, and personally helped Liu Bei, who was kneeling on the ground, up.

"Wechen is terrified."

Liu Bei didn't expect Liu Xie to be so enthusiastic, which made him a little flattered for a while.

Since Liu Bei started the army in Zhuo County, the identity of this Han clan has also fooled Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and he really didn't expect that he would have this kind of treatment.

You must know that Liu Bei and Liu Xie have already come out of the five suits, and they are no longer relatives, and the name of this imperial uncle cannot be talked about.

Just when Liu Bei's heart was abrupt, he suddenly felt a trace of cold gaze, his eyes moved slightly, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw Cao Cao staring at the two of them coldly.

This made Liu Bei's excited heart calm again.

He also understood what was going on, and it seemed that the Son of Heaven was indeed controlled by Cao.
