Just when Cao Cao was furious, Xiahoudun walked in with the curtain of the big tent, and Cao Cao looked up and was about to reprimand Xiahoudun.

Although Xiahoudun is his own brother, he can't be so unruly, he didn't even say hello before entering the coach's tent, which is simply pampered and arrogant!

But when he raised his head, Cao Cao found that behind Xiahoudun was a general, who was seven feet tall, with a swarthy face, and the most eye-catching thing was his eyes.

This person's eyes unconsciously brought out bursts of killing intent, and at first glance, he was a master who often led troops to go out and was in a high position, I don't know where Yuan Rang brought such a general?

Just when Cao Cao got up and was about to ask, Xiahoudun introduced the origin of this person one step in advance, and when Cao Cao learned that this person turned out to be Ji Ling, don't mention the joy in Cao Cao's heart at that time!

The reason why Ji Ling came here was because he came on the order of his lord Yuan Shu, this time the princes of the Four Roads besieged Liu Yuan, and Yuan Shao, as the initiator, did not contact his brother Yuan Shu.

Although Yuan Shu had already gotten the news, on the one hand, it was because Yuan Shao did not contact him, which made him feel very unhappy, and because he didn't want to offend Liu Yuan.

Before, when the princes of the Nineteenth Route crusaded against Dong Zhuo, he suffered Liu Yuan's big loss, although he didn't show anything on the surface, but in his heart he was very afraid of Liu Yuan!

So this time, Yuan Shu had been pretending not to know about this matter before, but as things developed, Yuan Shu also felt the great threat that Liu Yuan had brought him.

This Liu Yuan was besieged by the four-way princes who were relatively strong among all the Han princes, not only did he not have the slightest feeling of difficulty, but he even beat the other three-way princes unspeakably.

If Liu Yuan really exterminated the three-way princes in one battle, or even possibly directly exterminated the four-way princes, these relatively weak princes would become panicked!

So under the persuasion of his adviser Yan Xiang and others, Yuan Shu decided to send troops to help Cao Cao, and now it seems that only Cao Cao did not suffer any big losses under Liu Yuan's men!

Compared with Yuan Shao and others, joining forces with Cao Cao not only guarantees a little more security, but also is very likely to take advantage of Liu Yuan!

This kind of thing is Yuan Shu's favorite thing to do, he ordered his general Ji Ling to be the main general, Qiao Rui, Lei Bo, Chen Lan and others as deputy generals, leading a whole 100,000 troops to Puyang City!

As soon as Ji Ling and his army arrived twenty miles outside Puyang City, he ordered the army to temporarily stop advancing, and then he and Chen Lan went to Cao Cao's camp.

When Xiahoudun learned that Ji Ling was sent by Yuan Shu to support them, Xiahoudun was smiling at that time, but now is their most difficult time.

Although it seems that they have been attacking Puyang City more than once, the difficulties are only known to them, the generals of the Cao army, and now they have to attack Puyang.

Once they choose to retreat, if Liu Yuan in Puyang City leads the army to chase them out, it is very likely that their retreat will evolve into a rout, and the forces that the lord has worked so hard to build up will most likely disintegrate by the ice!

These days, not only Cao Cao can't sleep at night, but the generals under their lords are also anxious to foam at the mouth. But no matter what they thought, they didn't think of how to resolve the situation safely!

At this time, Ji Ling's timely appearance was tantamount to timely rain, how could Xiahoudun be unhappy, he grabbed Ji Ling's arm and directly broke into Cao Cao's handsome tent.

At this time, Cao Cao couldn't care about Xiahoudun's recklessness, he hurriedly let Ji Ling and Chen Lan into the seats, and then several of them discussed in Cao Cao's big tent.

Two quarters of an hour later, Ji Ling took Chen Lan and left Cao Cao's tent, and the two returned to their own army on horseback, and then Ji Ling gathered Qiao Rui and others in his tent.

Ji Ling and they didn't mention the arrangement over there for the time being, after Ji Ling and the two left, Cao Cao, who was smiling, immediately ordered someone to prepare pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and then he picked up the pen and replied to Liu Yuan with a letter.

This is said to be a letter, but it is actually a war letter, when Cao Cao's war letter was placed in front of Liu Yuan, Liu Yuan felt a little surprised!

He didn't expect Cao Cao to agree to his terms, and Cao Cao wrote in the battle book that three days later, when the two of them held a battle outside Puyang City.

At that time, Cao Cao will send his subordinate Xu Chu to fight against Liu Yuan, and if Liu Yuan defeats Xu Chu, then Cao Cao will cede half of Qingzhou to Liu Yuan as reparation.

If Liu Yuan loses to Xu Chu, then Liu Yuan must give up the entire territory of Puyang to Cao Cao, of course, this is a competition, but in fact, it is essentially a duel of life and death!

Even if the two sides die at the hands of the other party, they can only blame themselves for not being proficient in their studies, and they must not retaliate afterwards!

According to Liu Yuan's understanding of Cao Cao, he would rather fight with himself in Puyang than agree to his generals and himself alone.

So now he actually agreed to let Xu Chu fight, which is so different from the Cao Cao he knows, there must be a demon when he uses abnormality, and now he just doesn't know what medicine Cao Cao sells in his gourd!

But even if Liu Yuan thought about it for a long time, he didn't figure out what hole cards Cao Cao still had in his hand, and the only ones with the strongest combat power under him now were Xiahou Xuan, Xiahou Yuan, Xu Chu, and Xu Huang.

This time, Xu Huang was left by Cao Cao to guard his governing place Linzi did not come to Puyang, and the only generals under him who could fight were the Xiahou brothers and Xu Chu.

Even if he wanted to send the Xiahou brothers to hide in the shadows, waiting for him to plot against himself when he and Xu Chu were fighting, he was not without people.

Guan Hai, Zhou Cang and Liao Hua, although one-on-one is not the opponent of the Xiahou brothers, but the three of them are against the two of them, and it is no problem to remain invincible and undefeated!

In that way, Xu Chu's safety will be greatly threatened, and it is even possible that Xu Chu will die in his own hands, such a stupid thing can really be done by Cao Cao.

But if you don't explain it like this, then why did Cao Cao agree to his request and send Xu Chu to fight against him, could it be that Xu Chu has made a new breakthrough recently?

For a while, all kinds of problems followed, which made Liu Yuan very annoying, and after thinking about it for a long time to no avail, Liu Yuan simply stopped thinking so much.

There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and besides, the few people under Cao Cao can't play too much change at all, even if Cao Cao really sends the Xiahou brothers to besiege him, he can save the day with his own ability!

Then Liu Yuan sent a letter of war back to Cao Cao, and three days later, the two sides would fight outside Puyang City!
