Lü Bu has soldiers and generals, but there is no political support, and they may be a wandering army at best, but to put it bluntly, there is no difference between an armed force like theirs and bandits.

Now Cao Xing has brought Lu Bu again, Lu Bu's identity seems to have changed and changed, with Lu Bu's pride, it is absolutely impossible to take refuge in Cao Xing, he is willing to help Cao Xing is also on the basis of seeing the old love, so he did this, so Cao Xing's relationship with Lu Bu is like a relationship of employment, Lu Bu helps Cao Xing to support Cao Cao's soldiers, Cao Xing will definitely give Lu Bu some compensation, such as food and money, etc., anyway, Cao Xing is not bad for money now.

It is based on such a delicate relationship between Lu Bu and Cao Xing that Xi Zhi finally found a flaw.

After reading the letter in Cao Xing's hand, he handed it over to the generals below to watch, and many people seemed to have some confused feelings after reading this letter, but Xi Zhicai smiled after reading it, and said to Cao Cao.

"Lord, if I'm not mistaken, this is Cao Xing's third reply. However, the news that our spies got was that Lu Bu was getting more and more righteous again, and he kept losing his temper in his own battle, and it was obvious that he was also worried that Cao Xing would unload the mill and kill the donkey, so there was already a gap between the two, and I believe that the lord's atmosphere would soon succeed! ”

After Cao Cao heard this, he also laughed, this strategy was jointly thought up by him and Xi Zhicai, in order to separate Cao and Lu Bu, after all, like the relationship of employment, once the trust is lost, then everything will be ruined in a generation, as long as Lu Bu leaves, whether Cao Cao wants to continue to go back to find Lu Bu's trouble, or fight with Cao Xing in the same place, I believe that everything will go much smoother, so Cao Cao also laughed when he thought of this.

At this moment, people like Xiahou Yuan and others finally figured out Cao Cao's intentions, not to mention their generals, even those strategists grinded their beards and squinted their eyes after hearing this, and they were amazed by Cao Cao and Xi Zhicai's strategy.

There are even many clever strategists, who saw the opportunity and immediately said there, Cao Cao is clever, this time he will definitely be able to separate Lu Bu and Cao Xing, in the final analysis, it is the right time to slap the sycophants, and Cao Cao is comfortable listening to it.

But just when everyone was laughing and laughing, an untimely voice suddenly rose in Cao Cao's military tent.

"Lord, I think there seems to be something strange in Cao Xing's reply!"

Hearing this, the military tent, which was originally quite thick, immediately quieted down, and Cao Cao also looked at it intently, and found that it was an old man in his fifties who spoke.

And when the other generals saw this old man, they actually said such things at this time, and many people were disdainful.

However, Cao Cao did not immediately scold the old man, but looked at the old man with a smile and asked with a humble expression.

"Zhongde, I don't know, do you have any questions!"

In fact, this old man is none other than Cheng Yu during the Three Kingdoms period. Cheng Yu was originally from Yanzhou East County. When the Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out, he once led the villagers to resist the attack of gold, and later Cao Cao became the pastor of Yanzhou, recruiting talents, and Cheng Yu also joined the team he recruited, but this Cheng Yu is already relatively old, more than ten years older than Cao Cao, and now he is fifty years old.

In the eyes of everyone, this is a troubled time, we must pay attention to being young and promising, like Xi Zhicai, people who are just in their thirties had better give full play to their talents, this Cheng Yu is already a person who has buried half of his neck in the loess, what other strategies can he have, so everyone is not very optimistic about this Cheng Yu.

However, Cheng Yu didn't care about everyone's eyes, but looked at the letter, thought for a moment, and then said to Cao Cao.

"Lord, there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with this reply, but the subordinates found that Cao Xing asked the lord's father intentionally or unintentionally when he was in the last two sentences, but he was okay, which seems to be a little incompatible with the style of this letter!"

Hearing Wen Yan, he sneered in his heart, what is Cheng Yu's statement, and Cao Cao didn't take it too seriously in his heart, but he still said.

"Zhongde, in the first two Cao Xing's replies, I gave him a family routine every day, and he also wanted to pull some household cooking for me from time to time, in which he asked me, my father is good recently, I also said to him, I am now ready to take my father from Xuzhou's hometown to Yanzhou, and even I have informed the current Xuzhou Thorn Shi Taoqian of this matter, that old guy is also a afraid of things, after receiving my letter, he hurriedly agreed!"

Speaking of this, Cao Cao's expression was quite proud, after all, he was now a prince, and Tao Qian, an old-timer, had to give him three points of thin noodles, so he felt that he also had face.

After listening to Cao Cao's answer, Cheng Yu still shook his head, and then said: "Lord, I still think the situation is not right, the lord is clearly a divisive plan at this time, can it not be seen with Cao Xing's talent, and as far as I know, Cao Xing's side is not without strategists, Jia Xu was once Dong Zhuo's subordinate, it is said that this person has been in contact with Li Ru all the year round, and his wisdom is no longer under Li Ru, with him by Cao Xing's side, Cao Xing will really easily get into the scheme!" ”

Cheng Yu's words may have been said in a hurry, but the meaning of his sentence was somewhat negative of Cao Cao, as if to tell Cao Cao that Cao Cao's little trick could have deceived Cao Xing?

Cao Cao also smiled embarrassedly on his face after hearing this, and when the other strategists saw this, they also hurriedly rounded the field, and someone said to Cheng Yu, even if Cao Xuan could see that this was a discordant plan? The object of their separation is not only Cao Xing, but the most important thing is Lu Bu, with the head of Lu Bu's third surname as a slave, how could he think of these problems, so even if Cao Xuan did not fall into the scheme, Lu Bu obviously had already been tricked. Therefore, Cheng Yu's remarks are considered nonsense by many people.

Seeing that Cao Cao didn't listen to his advice, Cheng Yu's heart was a little anxious, and he looked at Xi Zhicai, he knew that this strategist who rose in Qianmo was now Cao Cao's most trusted person, but Xi Zhicai also frowned as if he was thinking, but in the end he didn't speak, seeing that this Yu was a little anxious, but under pressure from many parties, he still didn't speak in the end.

In this way, Cao Cao's plan proceeded according to the original trajectory, but because of Cheng Yu's reminder, Cao Cao also had an extra mind, always paying attention to Cao Xing's movements, until another week passed, and the news finally came out from Cao Xing's side, and Lu Bu left Cao Xing's military camp alone and rushed in the direction of Yanzhou.

When this new news reached Cao Cao's military camp, Cao Cao immediately found everyone.

Lu Bu was really forced away, the reason was that he no longer trusted Cao Xing, this news made Cao Cao feel excited, and without exception, it also showed that Cao Cao's strategy really worked, so Cao Cao has now left the rest of the things out of the clouds, and the matter he discussed with the generals at this moment is that since Lu Bu has left, what should they do next?

In the end, the opinions of everyone were gathered, Cao Cao still felt that he should not care about Lu Bu first, although Lu Bu was the first military general in the world, but he fought on the battlefield, even if he Lu Bu was powerful, he didn't need to rely on his own soldiers and horses to fight, as far as Cao Cao knew, Lu Bu was rampant in Yanzhou, and he fought a lot of battles, but in the end, it was Cao Cao's advantage that ended the war between the two of them, so Lu Bu still has some strength, and his Zhang and Gao Shun and the eight strong generals are still there, but his soldiers and horses are pitiful, said that there were only a few thousand, or even less than 10,000, and in Yanzhou, they could only be bandits and rob the passing grain teams, and they did not dare to make any waves.

So Cao Cao expected that Lu Bu was just a small role, and if he wanted to dispose of it, it would be easy, Cao Xing was the big one, and now that Lu Bu was leaving, he was ready to take advantage of the victory to attack.

Xi Zhicai expressed his approval of Cao Cao's final decision, but while Xi Zhicai expressed his approval, he also frowned, as if he had some concerns in his heart, but in the end he still didn't say it, so Cao Cao launched a general attack on Cao Xing.

As Cao Cao expected, Cao Xing, who had lost Lu Bu, was like losing divine help, and he could no longer stop his soldiers, Dian Wei directly led people to rampage, and Wei Yan and Chen Hu couldn't stop Dian Wei at all.

In five days, Cao Cao captured Cao Xing's two county seats, Cao Cao was full of smugness at the moment, he and Cao Xing were friends before, and now they are opponents, but it seems that Cao Xing is too young after all, and he is still not his opponent, thinking of this, Cao Cao's heart is a little fluttering, but when Cao Cao didn't expect it, at this time, Xi Zhicai actually came to find him, and Xi Zhicai came to find Cao Cao for nothing else, just listen to him and say to Cao Cao seriously, let Cao Cao stop.

Cao Cao was a little puzzled in his heart, why did Xi Zhicai say this, obviously his side was already in an absolute advantage, Xi Zhicai could only patiently explain, he felt that Cao Xing had a back hand, as far as he knew, Cao Xing's biggest advantage was not the strategists, nor the generals, but the weapons of his soldiers, what bows and crossbows and trebuchets were readily available, but in this battle, there was no trace of these weapons at all, so Xi Zhicai was a little worried.

Hearing these words, Cao Cao also had some hesitation, but thinking that it was about to be completed, how could he retreat here, so Cao Cao's final decision was to stop the attack in the big direction, after all, he Cao Cao did not have many soldiers and horses this time, only more than 40,000, and if he wanted to enter the state, it was undoubtedly a fantasy, but then again, since the decisive battle between Cao Cao and Cao Xing was in Chaoge, then Cao Cao would not give these advantages to Cao Xing, Cao Cao decided to take back all the counties occupied by Cao Xing in Chaoge, just like that, Cao Cao personally commanded the army to drive straight in, and finally conquered the third county seat, and as a result, Cao Xing's forces were completely driven out of Chaoge.

On this day, Cao Cao personally led his troops to attack the last county seat, and Cao Cao was a little fluttering at this moment, and he walked into the county government with Cheng Yu and other people.

After all, after winning the battle, Cao Cao's heart was also very happy, and he immediately wanted to hold a banquet to celebrate the heroes of this station.

The battle has reached this point, and the scouts have also found out that Cao Xing's army has completely withdrawn from the territory of Sili, so neither Xi Zhicai nor others have thought much about it, so they began to eat and drink at the banquet.

After drinking and drinking for thirty and five flavors, Cao Cao at this moment was obviously a little drunk, after all, he had won a big battle, and he drank two more sips in a good mood, but at this moment, Cao Cao heard what seemed to be a very flustered footstep outside, as if there were many people running outside.

Cao Cao had some displeasure in his heart, today is a good day, what are the guards outside doing, he just wanted to scold him, but the guards outside rushed in.

Seeing this, Cao Cao's heart was even more unhappy, and he suddenly slammed the wine in his hand on the table, and loudly scolded these people, what kind of system.

Seeing that Cao Cao was about to get angry, these people in soldier uniforms were trembling with fright, but Cheng Yu, who had been silent at the moment, stood up, he stood up and first stopped Cao Cao's anger, and then looked at those soldiers, these people were completely dressed as scouts, and looking at their appearance, it was obvious that they were eight hundred miles in a hurry.

Cheng Yu stopped Cao Cao's anger, and then asked these scouts what was the urgency, and quickly summoned them.

These scouts seemed to be a little weak-minded, they looked at Cao Cao cautiously, and then said.

"Lord, lord, something has happened to Lingtang!"

Although the voices of these scouts were very small, Cao Cao still heard them clearly, at first Cao Cao seemed to be a little unconvinced, he squinted at these scouts, let these scouts repeat again, when these scouts said again, Cao Cao only felt that his ears exploded with earth-shattering thunder.

After almost half a quarter of an hour, the scouts below knelt on the ground and trembled, while Cao Cao, who was on the main seat, stood up with an angry face, directly kicked over the table in front of him, pulled out the long sword at his waist, and looked into the distance, his eyes were blood-red.

"Tao Qian, you old puppet is too deceitful, I, Cao Cao, will behead you today!"

Seeing Cao Cao so angry and lowly generals, he was instantly dumbfounded Xi Zhicai and others hurriedly went up and grabbed Cao Cao, afraid that Cao Cao would do something stupid, Cao Cao was happy, but suddenly received a big tragedy in his life, that is, his father Cao Song died halfway, if it was just a natural death, it would not be said, but it was still Tao Qian's subordinates.

Today's Cao Cao can be described as happy and sad, watching Cao Cao emit such a big anger, the generals below only feel that something big is about to happen, at least Tao Qian in Xuzhou will not have a good time.

Sure enough, after Cao Cao was comforted by the East Station, his anger gradually subsided, followed by holding his head and crying, but after crying, Cao Cao immediately stood up, his eyes were blood-red and he shouted loudly.

"To rectify the three armies, I will personally send troops to Xuzhou!"
