Zhao Yun stabbed straight with the spear, but Zhao Yun did not take Xu Chu's life, the spear stopped in front of Xu Chu's throat, and Xu Chu panicked all of a sudden.

Then, Zhao Yun suddenly put away the gun, took out something from his arms, and threw it to Xu Chu.

"This is something that His Majesty of my family asked to transfer to Cao Gong, and it was handed over by General Lao, please forgive the general for any offense, as for the soldiers and horses in Yanzhou, Zhao Yun was only injured and did not kill anyone."

Xu Chu took the object and didn't say anything, he was now subdued by Zhao Yun.

With the help of Xu Chu, Zhao Yun and Bai Ma Yi retreated from Anran, Xu Chu also determined that Zhao Yun did not tell a lie, most of the Cao Jun who fought against Bai Ma Yicong and Zhao Yun were injured, and only a group of people were shot by arrows.

Xu Chu quickly came to Cao Cao's side and handed over the things that Zhao Yun gave him to Cao Cao, Cao Cao saw that he was wrapped in yellow satin, and he didn't dare to be careless and immediately opened the things and looked at them.

After reading it, Cao Cao's face sank, and he said, "Pass the order and retreat!" ”

"No!"

Half an hour later, all the Cao troops left the battlefield and retreated to camp ten miles outside the city.

Cao Yingzhong.

"Father, why are you withdrawing?" As soon as he returned to the barracks, Cao Ning couldn't help but ask Cao Cao.

"Yes, lord, why do you want to withdraw the army, we were in a good situation at that time, as long as Liu Bei and their troops and horses were eliminated, Xuzhou would be at your fingertips." Xia Luqi couldn't help but ask, he finally suppressed Guan Yu, and wanted to capture him in one fell swoop to avenge the revenge he had just chased, but what he didn't expect was that Cao Cao actually withdrew his troops.

The other generals also began to talk.

"Humph! Do you know that the Lord was killed on the battlefield just now! You're embarrassed to say it here. Xu Chu finally couldn't help it and scolded.

"What, father, you!" Cao Ning was shocked.

"Nothing!" Cao Cao waved his hand.

"Could it be the hundred horsemen!" Charucci exclaimed.

Cao Cao was silent, and everyone was immediately shocked.

"What kind of army is so capable?" Charucci asked. 3

"Look at the white horse who seems to be Gongsun Zhan, but where does Gongsun Chan have such a capable general in the first place." Yan Chengfang said suspiciously.

"They are from Youzhou, the person who is the leader, you may also know, it is Liu Bianai's general Changshan Zhao Yun." Cao Cao said flatly.

"Zhao Yun!"

"Zhao Yun!"

"Yes, it's that Zhao Yun, I was allowed to stop him later, Na Cheng wanted to be easily defeated by him, if he hadn't let me go, I'm afraid you wouldn't have seen me now."

Hearing Xu Chu's words, the people in the tent were even more surprised. They knew Xu Chu's ability, he was very strong, and he didn't expect to lose to Zhao Yun easily.

"Big brother, is there anything else?" Cao Bin said at this time that he knew that Cao Cao was not such an easy person to compromise, and he would not withdraw because of this matter, there must be other reasons.

"Yes, there are other reasons!" After that, Cao Cao asked Wang Meng to pass the letter that Liu Wei had given him to the generals to review.

After a long time, it was Cao Bin who said, "My lord, the last general thinks that he should indeed retire. ”

"My lord, the last general also thinks that what my brother said is reasonable, and he should retire." Cao Yan then said.

Cao Cao looked at Wang Meng and found that Wang Meng was also nodding.

"Since that's the case, then ......" Cao Cao's voice had not yet fallen.

"Report!"

"Lord Qi, Liu Bei sent a letter." A guard hurried in.

"Liu Bei's letter, Cheng up."

"No!"

Dian Wei took the letter from the guards and handed it to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao opened the letter and slowly examined it, and after a moment, Cao Cao had a disdainful sneer on his face.

"It's just a broken settlement, and it is ridiculous that I dare not withdraw my troops! Why should I, Cao Cao, give him face. ”

Then Cao Cao threw the letter on the table.

"Lord, what did Liu Bei say in his letter?" Cao Ren asked.

"Humph! What kind of benevolence and morality did Liu Bei talk to so-and-so, let so-and-so withdraw his troops in his face! Cao Cao sneered.

"This Liu Bei is also a little more self-conscious, if you want to say that the one from Youzhou persuaded us to withdraw our troops, why should he Liu Bei, want to be nameless, want power without power, want soldiers and horses without soldiers and horses, want money without money, and dare to pretend in front of us." Xiahou Yuan said disdainfully.

"Providence! Providence so! At this time, Wang Meng sighed.

"What do you mean by that?" Cao Cao asked puzzled.

"This Liu Bei is really a bit edified! We were already planning to withdraw from the army, this Liu Bei sent a letter at this time, and we just retreated, people who don't understand will think that it is Liu Bei's letter to let us withdraw the army, so that he not only got Tao Qian and Xuzhou's love, but also raised his prestige, you say this is not his creation! Wang Meng explained with a smile.

"That's not good, it can't be cheap Liu Bei, we have to announce the truth!" Cao Ning said immediately.

"No way!"

This time it was Cao Cao who answered.

"If this matter spreads, I'm afraid the world will think that we have become people from Youzhou, and it will be extremely unfavorable to us at that time." Cao Cao said.

"What the lord said is very true!" Wang Meng first agreed with Cao Cao's statement, and then said,

"In addition, in fact, Liu Bei has benefited this time, and it is not without benefits to us, his subordinates have conducted a full investigation of Liu Bei these days, coupled with the statements of his colleagues, a certain person thinks that Liu Bei is a person who is unwilling to live under others for a long time. This time he gained a firm foothold in Xuzhou, and in time, the whole of Xuzhou would fall into his hands, after all, Tao Qian was old, and his son was mediocre and inactive. ”

"O military advisor! This Liu Bei got Xuzhou, what good is it for us? Cao Ning asked.

"Huh!" Wang Meng smiled slightly.

"The gap between Xuzhou and Xuzhou is very large, there are two reasons, one is that the lord and Xuzhou have a common hatred for the history of Xuzhou, the people of Xuzhou will think that the lord will not let them go because of this matter after the lord of Xuzhou, they will therefore die with our army, the soldiers and horses of Xuzhou who fought with our army in the past two days can be found that although they are numerous, they have little combat effectiveness, and it has not yet reached the point of breaking the city, if it really comes to that time, I am afraid that the old and weak women and children of Xuzhou will also go up to the city to fight to the death with us, In addition, Tao Qian is an official Qingming, benevolent, and after we seize Xuzhou in the future, they are afraid that they will inevitably make trouble. If Liu Bei occupies Xuzhou first, it will be different, wait a year or two The people of Xuzhou have long forgotten the bloody battle with us today, even if they remember, they will only think that it is the hatred between Tao Qian and the lord, and Liu Bei has nothing to do with it, and it has nothing to do with the people. Wang Meng explained with a smile.

"What do the generals think?" Cao Cao asked calmly.

"It's up to the lord to decide!"

"Well, withdraw in three days, and ignore all other remarks."

"No!"

……

At this time, in the Xuzhou Thorn History Mansion, there was a big banquet and singing and dancing.

Tao Qian sat on the main seat, the potter, Tao Ying two brothers on both sides, the potter on the left, Tao Ying on the right.

On the side of the pottery merchant is Liu Bei and his family, and on Tao Ying's side is Zhao Yun and others.

"Today, you can force Cao Jun to retreat, you are indispensable, Tao Qian is here to give you a cup." Tao Qian picked up the wine glass with a smile on his face.

"To your lordship!"

Everyone raised their glasses in response to Tao Qian.

"Thanks to a few of them this time, Tao Qian has promised that if you are willing to save me in Xuzhou, Tao Qian will have great gratitude, Xuande, and General Zhao." Tao Qian looked at Liu Bei and Zhao Yun successively.

Liu Bei is the eldest brother, and Zhao Yun is the person sent by Liu Wei, plus Tai Shici violated the military order, at this time, he is guilty, and the decision-maker is of course Zhao Yun.

"Tao Gong is a famous person in the world, Tao Gong is benevolent, honest, loyal, is a model for my generation, I am deeply honored to be able to help Tao Gong, and I do not ask for anything."

"Xuande is very kind to me, in Xuzhou, if I don't repay Xuande, I can't feel at ease!" Tao Qian said embarrassedly.

"That is the case, then Bei will ask Tao Gong for a place to live, this time Bei came to Xuzhou with his own troops, I am afraid that I will not be able to go back, so I want to ask Tao Gong for a place to settle down."
