Cao Cao quickly figured out who the person who attacked his camp was, because Lu Bu was the only one who carried out the sneak attack in that direction, and had the ability to sneak attack.

"Hehe, I really didn't expect that this Lu Bu would have such a list, and he dared to sneak attack my village!" Cao Cao sneered and said in a deep voice: "Originally, I decided to wait for a while before I did anything to him, but since you took the initiative to seek death, then I naturally wouldn't be polite." ”

Then Cao Cao ordered to adjust the focus of the army's attack, first attack Langya, defeat Lu Bu, and then attack Xiapi, which is fundamentally the same for Cao Cao, because with Tao Qian's stupid role, even if he attacks Lu Bu with all his strength now, Tao Qian will never dare and has no strength to cooperate, so it is only a matter of time before Tao Qian is defeated.

It's just that Cao Cao is worried that this move will be interfered with by Pei Qing, so his actions must be fast, and he must occupy the entire Xuzhou before Pei Qing reacts, causing a fait accompli, so Pei Qing has no choice, he can't rashly start a full-scale war with himself because of a Tao Qian, right?

In Cao Cao's calculations, Pei Qingyuan was in Chang'an, and it was estimated that he already knew about sending troops to Tao Qian, but when he reacted, and then led his troops to Xuzhou, the daylilies were cold.

As for Pei Yuanshao, who is serving as the assassin of Yuzhou, Cao Cao can't look down on him at all, but he is just a brave man, and he is also a reckless man born in the Yellow Turban, what can be the big deal?

As for the others? Cao Cao was even more indifferent, because he didn't believe in how much autonomy those people could have.

So Cao Cao decided to launch a full-scale attack on Lü Bu early the next morning in retaliation for Lü Bu's military action the previous night.

However, Chen Deng and Chen Gong had already thought that Cao Cao would do this, so when Cao Cao went to attack the next day, he was suddenly ambushed on the way, although this battle did not lose too many men and horses, but it also made Cao Cao embarrassed and his morale dropped significantly.

Cao Cao didn't recognize Chen Deng, but he recognized Chen Gong, he pointed at Chen Gong with a whip and said loudly: "Chen Gong, don't be complacent, sooner or later one day will catch you, and at that time, I will let you know the fate of betraying me!" ”

"Hmph, let's wait until that day." Chen Gong was not in a hurry, and said slowly.

Although Cao Cao was defeated for a while, his losses were not much, and he reorganized his army and slowly returned to the camp, preparing to fight again at another day. Because of two defeats in a row, the morale of the army is fluctuating, and the morale is low, today is not suitable for any more battles, and it is necessary to wait for the morale to be boosted before launching an attack.

However, Cao Cao calculates the time, in fact, it is also loose and tight, even if Pei Qing authorizes Pei Yuanshao or others to intervene in this matter, wait until the authorized person is authorized to mobilize troops and horses, gather troops and rush to Xuzhou, and then apply to Tao Qian for passage, when he arrives here, at least ten days have passed, and even if Langya is strictly guarded, with Cao Cao's seventy or eighty thousand troops, it is estimated that Langya would have been captured long ago, and once there is no constraint from Lu Bu, how can it be a threat to himself just by relying on those Pei Qing generals in Yuzhou?

However, Cao Cao didn't know at all, Pei Qing immediately guessed that Cao Cao would definitely take the opportunity to attack Xuzhou after learning the news of Cao Song's killing, so he immediately sent people to Yuzhou at an expedited speed of 800 miles, and arranged for Pei Yuanshao and Lu Su to immediately assemble troops and prepare to rescue Xuzhou.

How dare Pei Yuanshao and Lu Su slack off after receiving the order? Immediately assemble the army according to Pei Qing's instructions, stand by the battle, and be ready to rescue Xuzhou at any time.

However, they also got Pei Qing's order, without Tao Qian's request for help, as long as Xiapi could still hold on, they would not move, and once Tao Qian asked for help, they would immediately go to the rescue.

And not long after the time, I saw Mi Zhu coming with Tao Qian's letter to ask for help.

It's just that Mi Zhu obviously didn't expect that Pei Yuanshao was also here.

Mi Zhu was born as a big businessman, and it was instinct to be exquisite, so the object of asking for help this time naturally became Pei Yuanshao, and he was also not respectful and courteous to Lu Su, so that none of them could find fault.

Pei Yuanshao originally had the intention of sending troops to help, and now he saw Tao Qian's promise to cede Peng Chengguo to Pei Qing, and his heart was even more joyful, but now Peng Chengguo has been killed and injured under Cao Cao's slaughter, leaving only desolate land, in fact, even if he gets it, it doesn't mean much.

However, Pei Yuanshao will not give up, after all, the geographical location of Pengchengguo is very important, it is a place where soldiers must fight, even if it is just a garrison, the meaning is not ordinary, not to mention that he, as the assassin of Yuzhou, can apply to immigrate here.

So Pei Yuanshao was very happy, he exchanged glances with Lu Su, and he didn't shirk Tao Qian's conditions at all, so he agreed angrily.

"Please tell Tao Envoy Jun that we will definitely send troops to help Tao Envoy Jun repel Cao Cao, but we will definitely have few troops, and if we fight Cao Cao alone, I am afraid we will not be able to do it."

"Although Pei Yuanjun can rest assured at this point, our Tao Yuanjun also asked Lu Fengxian as an aid, as long as Lingjun and General Lu attack back and forth, they will definitely be able to easily defeat Cao Cao."

"I see." Lu Su glanced at Mi Zhu, and then said, "If Su's prediction is good, Tao Envoy Jun must have given Lu Bu the conditions that make it difficult for him to refuse, right?" Don't you want to give up to Lu Bu in Xuzhou? ”

When Mi Zhu heard this, his face was immediately full of admiration, and he arched his hand to Lu Su and said: "Mr. is really like a god, my Tao envoy does this, and only in this way can I invite Lu Bu." ”

Lu Su nodded silently, and then said: "If you can really repel Cao Cao this time, Tao Gong will definitely keep his promise and give Xuzhou Mu to Lu Bu, but this Lu Bu has a greedy temperament and is mercenary, and other people are fine, Su is just worried about Lu Zizhong, when the time comes, your hundreds of millions of family properties, tens of thousands of child servants are estimated to have to donate at least half of them, but it is a pity that the wealth accumulated by your East China Sea Mi clan for several generations has been handed over." ”

Mi Zhu's expression suddenly changed when he heard this, he also knew that Lu Bu was not credible, once Lu Bu became the pastor of Xuzhou, Lu Su's words would definitely come true, so he thought about it and said to Pei Yuanshao and Lu Su: "Zhu has a reluctant request, and I also ask the second prince to agree." ”

"I wonder what the gentleman commands? Just say it......" Pei Yuanshao didn't finish his sentence, but he was pounded by Lu Su with his arm, and then said softly: "Yuan Shaogong, you can't easily agree, Lu Zizhong, as a rich man in the East China Sea, even if he looks at the world, the wealth he has is also famous, and what he wants must not be easy to do, how can we promise it easily?" ”

Although Lu Su whispered, he was also in the tent after all, so his words were not only heard by Pei Yuanshao, but also by Mi Zhu.

Mi Zhu suddenly smiled bitterly when he heard this: "Lu Zijing is really Lu Zijing, he sees everything so thoroughly, since this is the case, Zhu will not hide it, just open the skylight and say something bright, Zhu is also not at ease with Lu Bu, and wants to take refuge in the envoy, after I return to Xuzhou, I will find a way to transfer the family property and child servants to Yuzhou, and please ask the envoy to help cover up, so that if you are willing to help, Zhu will have a good reward!" ”

Pei Yuanshao said with a dark face: "Fortunately, I didn't rashly agree to sir, I really can't do such a thing, because such a big thing requires my brother's personal consent, I can't be such a master, if Mr. wants me to help, it's not difficult, as long as my brother agrees, I will definitely spare no effort to cooperate with Mr." ”

"But what kind of character is Pei Hussar? Although I have a little money, how can I get into his eyes? Besides, now that the matter is urgent, it's too late to ask Pei Hussar, Ergong, can you help give an idea, Zhu will not forget the virtue of Ergong in the future. Mi Zhu's eyes were eager to say to Pei Yuanshao and Lu Suchang.

At this time, I saw Lu Su shaking the feather fan and muttering: "I have an idea, maybe I can help Mr." ”
