There were not many words on the letter in Guo Jia's hand, only two sentences. However, it was these two sentences that scared Guo Jia.

Seeing Guo Jia's face change greatly, Cheng Yu, who was sitting next to him, stretched out his head curiously to watch, only to see Han Fei's letter to Guo Jia read: Be careful that Lu Bu detoured to Yanzhou through Bingzhou, and Zhang Miao may be the source of chaos. The smart man stopped talking, Han Fei didn't explicitly say that Lu Bu was going to attack Yanzhou, but he knew that Guo Jia would definitely understand what he meant.

Guo Jia did know what Han Fei meant at this time, but after calculating the time, I am afraid that Yanzhou is already in chaos! At that moment there was a sudden commotion outside the tent, and then a soldier ran in panting, and fell to the ground as soon as he entered the tent. He insisted on raising his head and shouted: "The military division is urgent, Yanzhou has a variable speed to return to the division!" The soldier fainted after shouting, which shows that this person has not rested at all along the way.

Cao Cao waved his hand, and someone next to him came up and carried the soldier down, so that he could take care of him without mentioning it. Shan said that Cao Cao looked at Guo Jia, and Guo Jia handed back Han Fei's letter. He said in a low voice: "It must be Lu Bu who has arrived in Yanzhou!" The general should return to the army as soon as possible, otherwise we will be homeless! ”

Cao Cao quickly glanced at Han Fei's letter, and said to Chen Deng at the moment: "You go and reply to Liu Bei, I will retire early tomorrow morning, and I will talk to him before the battle!" ”

Chen Deng turned around and retreated. After Chen Deng left, Cao Cao's face instantly became gloomy. He said to Xiahou Yuan: "Miao Caiwu will give you 10,000 elite soldiers, and you will set off immediately!" In two days, you must rush back to Xuchang and stay under Cao Ren to serve! ”

"It's the lord!" Xiahou Yuan agreed and turned around and left. Cao Cao looked at Guo Jia and said, "How should I serve filial piety now?" ”

"Lu Bu is brave, and it is difficult for General Miaocai alone to resist. The lord still needs to return to the army as soon as possible. Guo Jia said. Since Han Fei, the little military master, knew about Lu Bu's rebellion, he didn't think he would stop us from leaving. But I'm afraid that the materials I asked for before won't come! ”

Cao Cao's face was gloomy and terrifying, and he hesitated for a while and said: "Okay, let Liu Bei give me three days' military rations tomorrow, and I will return the Cao Leopard to him." ”

"The lord is wise!" Guo Jia and Cheng Yu said in unison. Cao Cao sighed and waved his hand to stop the matter. He began to arrange the return to the army, and Guo Jia was also relieved in his heart. He was afraid that Cao Cao would not be able to think about it, and if he made the wrong choice at this time, he might really fall into a situation from which he could never recover.

Early the next morning, Cao's army pulled out the camp and prepared to return to the army. Liu Bei took Zhang Fei, Han Fei and others to the front of the two armies. At this time, Cao Cao stepped forward and pointed at Liu Bei with the horsewhip in his hand. Liu Bei didn't care, and urged the horse to come to Cao Cao's approach.

Cao Cao looked at Liu Bei carefully again, and then said: "Xuande is really calculating, today I only need three days of grain and grass for a total of 8,000 quintals, you can order someone to send it, and then I will let you bring Cao Bao back." ”

"Brother Meng De, I will give you 10,000 loads of grain and grass, and there is also a big gift! I also hope that Brother Meng De will not hurt General Cao Bao. Liu Bei said sincerely.

Cao Cao listened to Liu Bei's words, looked at Liu Bei again, nodded and turned to leave, Liu Bei watched Cao Cao go away, this time turning back to his own team. Han Fei stepped forward and asked, "What conditions did the lord promise him?" ”

"10,000 loads of grain and grass!" Liu Bei said with a smile. Han Fei also smiled and nodded. Liu Bei ordered someone to count the grain and grass and send it to Cao Cao, and there was also a brocade box sent to him.

Cao Cao later received something sent by Liu Bei, and he curiously asked people to open the brocade box! found that it was a human head and a waist card. The name on the waist card is Zhang Min! Cao Cao called Guo Jia to watch, Guo Jia sighed and said: "This person has really been killed by Han Fei's faction, and I am afraid that the old lady's family property will also fall into Liu Bei's hands." ”

Cao Cao looked at the human head in the box and suddenly laughed wildly. Guo Jia opened his mouth to persuade, but Cao Cao stretched out his hand to stop him: "What a little military master Han Fei!" I actually used my father's order as bait to lure me to attack Xuzhou! So that Liu Bei can get the entire Xuzhou without a single soldier, this person is really my enemy! This revenge will be avenged next time! ”

After that, he ordered someone to put Cao Bao back, and then the army hurried straight to Xuchang.

Cao Cao really retreated this time, and Liu Bei occupied Pengcheng again. Leaving a group of men and horses to wait here, Liu Bei returned to Xuzhou City with the haggard Cao Bao.

When Tao Qian heard that Cao Cao had withdrawn from the army, his illness immediately improved a lot. Liu Bei saw this at this time, so he asked to leave, Tao Qian pulled Liu Bei's sleeve and didn't let him leave. In the end, it is easy to say that we must give up Xiapicheng to Liu Bei. Liu Bei couldn't, so he had to agree to his request. So he led 10,000 horses and brought a large amount of grain, grass and baggage to Xiapi City.

"Zicong, can I go back to Changyi City?" After Liu Bei settled the army, he asked Han Feidao.

"Lord, you can go back, but you must come back here in half a month." Han Fei said solemnly. At this time, the New Year is only more than a month, Tao Qian doesn't know if he can celebrate the New Year!

"Why is that?"

"Tao Qian's life is not long, I think he has less than a month to live! If he dies, Xuzhou should be occupied by the lord! ”

"This ...... Brother Gong Zu has descendants who are still alive, and I am afraid that I will be criticized for taking his inheritance! ”

"Tao Qian has given Xuzhou two times before, if the lord can take over his side and be expected by everyone, don't think too much!"

Liu Bei nodded after hearing this, so he handed over the affairs of Xiapi City to Fu Zhi and Han Fei, and he himself rushed back to Changyi City with Dian Wei and his personal guards.

Lu Bu escaped from Chang'an, and the eight strong generals under his command were still there, but there were only 8,000 wolf riders left in Bingzhou, but at this time he found that he had nowhere to go. Fortunately, Zhang Liao reminded him that he defected to Zhang Yang. However, Zhang Yang's territory was small and he couldn't afford to raise Lu Bu and these horses, so Lu Bu couldn't get the attention of Yanzhou.

At this time, Chen Gong came to defect to the former Zhongmu County, and Lu Bu was overjoyed to worship him as a military advisor. Under the planning of Chen Gong, Lu Bu captured the important town of Puyang in one fell swoop, and then cooperated with Zhang Miaoli to seize Chen Liucheng. Next, he recruited 30,000 troops and rushed to Xuchang, the capital of Yanzhou at this time, to kill him. With the help of Xun Yu, Cao Ren was able to hold the city, and then urgently reported to Cao Cao to ask him to retreat quickly.

Finally, Xiahou Yuan led the army to arrive first, and with this new force, Lu Bu's army finally failed to capture Xuchang. However, the successive battles caused countless casualties to Cao's army, and their morale also fell to the bottom. The anti-war sentiment of the soldiers is only high!

At this time, Cao Cao finally led his army back to Xuchang. As soon as Cao Cao arrived, Lü Bu retreated, and he followed Chen Gong's advice to retreat to Chenliu, where he built a city wall to prevent Cao Cao from attacking. Cao Cao was furious when he learned that Chen Liu had been broken by Lü Bu and was about to send troops to recapture him. Guo Jia and the others finally dispelled this idea, recuperated in Xuchang City, and waited for another battle with Lu Bu after the New Year!
