Cao Cao said that the only heroes in the world are him and Liu Bei.

Liu Bei was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly got up and knelt down in front of him and said: "Cao Gong is too high-minded, and he has no strengths, how dare he be a hero." ”

"Xuande got up and spoke." Cao Cao smiled and said, "It's just a sentence, Xuande doesn't need to be so flustered." ”

Liu Bei stood up, but didn't dare to sit down again.

"Cao Gong!" He rolled his eyes and said to Cao Cao, "What do you think of Xu Du?" ”

"Xu Du?" Cao Cao asked, "What do you mean by Xuande?" ”

"I want to ask, does Gong Cao think Xu Du has been quite stable recently?" Liu Bei asked.

"Why do I think Xuande has something to say?" Cao Cao asked.

"Earlier, Dong Cheng invited me to be a guest at his place." Liu Bei said: "Although I didn't say anything important, when I was drunk, I heard them mention that His Majesty gave Dong Cheng a coat belt." ”

"Belt?" Cao Cao asked, "What exactly does Xuande mean by that?" ”

"I don't know what they're looking for me to do." Liu Bei said: "I've been thinking about this matter for the past few days, but I haven't figured it out. Cao Gong called me today, only talking about the heroes of the world, but he almost forgot about it! ”

"Dong Cheng is Dong Guiren's father, and it is nothing that His Majesty gave him a belt." Cao Cao smiled generously and said to Liu Bei: "I have drunk a lot of wine, and I am a little sleepy. ”

"Don't delay Cao Gong to rest." Liu Bei said: "I'll retire first!" ”

Just as he was about to get out of the pavilion, Liu Bei seemed to remember something, and said to Cao Cao: "Cao Gong, I heard that the second son broke through Shouchun, and the son of Yuan Shu led the remnants to try to defect to Yuan Tan in Qingzhou. ”

Liu Bei exposed Dong Cheng and others to Cao Cao, and Cao Cao was much less wary of him.

Without thinking too much, Cao Cao said: "Since Xuande has a heart, then select two thousand men and horses to go to the crusade." ”

"Thank you Cao Gong!" Liu Bei retreated.

When Liu Bei walked away, Cao Cao instructed Xu Chu: "Zhongkang, send someone to find out, what Dong Cheng and the others are plotting!" ”

"I'll go!" Xu Chu retreated.

Liu Bei left Cao's house and said to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, who were waiting outside the gate: "Immediately order two thousand troops to Qingzhou." ”

"In such a hurry?" Guan Yu asked, "Is Cao Gong willing to give his brother soldiers and horses?" ”

"He has already promised, without further ado, he has to leave Xudu today." Liu Bei whispered: "Be silent and avoid Cao Zirong's ears and eyes." ”

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei glanced at each other, and the two followed Liu Bei away.

With Cao Cao's warrant, Liu Bei quickly selected 2,000 elite soldiers from the military camp and took the soldiers and horses out of Xudu.

Cao Shuo is still at Guo Jia's house.

Several people discussed thinking of ways to let Liu Bei show his feet, and then find an opportunity to kill him.

was discussing how to let Liu Bei show his feet, and Cai Ji, who was guarding the door, said: "Son-in-law, Huo Wu has an important situation to report. ”

It was the first time that Huo Wu found Guo Jia's residence to report the matter, and Cao Shuo knew that it would not be a trivial matter.

He instructed Cai Ji: "Let the fire dance of the herald come in and speak." ”

Cai Ji led a fire dancer into the house.

Saluted to Cao Shuo, Huo Wu said: "Son Qiyu, Liu Xuande just led the troops out of Xudu. ”

"What?" Cao Shuo stood up violently and asked Huo Wu, "What is he doing with his troops out of the city?" ”

"It is said that he was ordered by the Duke of Cao to lead the troops to exterminate the remnants of Yuan Shu." Fire Dance replied.

"It's broken!" Cao Shuo said: "Liu Bei's departure is to let the tiger return to the mountain, and if you want to recover him, it is not so easy." ”

"Gongzi led the troops to chase after him, and Gongda and I went to see Cao Gong immediately." Guo Jia said: "Liu Bei has the appearance of a hero, he has long known that Gongzi intends to deal with him, and this departure will definitely cause a lot of trouble for Cao Gong." ”

"I'm afraid it's too late to catch up with Liu Bei." Cao Shuo said: "After leaving the city, Liu Bei will definitely abandon the infantry and walk quickly with the cavalry, even if I lead the dragon pattern cavalry to chase, it is impossible to catch up." ”

"What does Childe think I should do?" Xun You asked.

"Looks like I'm going to have to go back to Shouchun." Cao Shuo said: "Liu Xuande knows Xuzhou very well, and there are some of his foundations there, so I expect that he will definitely go to Xuzhou." Looks like I'm going to return to Shouchun early. ”

"What do you mean by ......," Guo Jia asked.

"There's a fight." Cao Shuo said: "It hasn't been long before Liu Xuande has caused these troubles again. ”

"Without further ado, let's go see Cao Gong soon." Guo Jia said to Xun You.

Xun You asked Cao Shuo, "Is Gongzi going with him too?" ”

"I'm not going." Cao Shuo said: "Although it is impossible to catch up with Liu Xuande, I still have to give it a try, if I catch up, of course it is a good thing!" ”

"I wish Childe a smooth trip." Guo Jia and Xun You arched their hands and said.

Cao Shuo didn't greet Wang Yan either, and after going out, he instructed Cai Ji: "Leave a few people waiting here, Wang Yan will tell her when she comes out, let her go back as soon as possible." ”

Cai Ji responded and instructed several guards: "Did you hear what Gongzi said? ”

Several guards responded, and Cao Shuo left Guo Jia's residence with Cai Ji, Wei Tu and other guards.

Guo Jia and Xun You also followed out.

At the door, Cao Shuo walked to the barracks where the dragoon guards were stationed, while Guo Jia and Xun You went to see Cao Cao.

Guo Jia and Xun You came to Cao's house and happened to see Cheng Yu also walking this way.

Seeing Cheng Yu, the two asked, "Could it be that Cheng Gong is also here because of Liu Xuande?" ”

"Just got the news." Cheng Yu said: "I didn't expect that Cao Gong would let Liu Xuande lead troops to crusade against Yuan Shuyu's sins, but I didn't know that letting him go would be tantamount to letting the tiger return to the mountain." ”

"Cheng Gong's opinion coincides with ours." Guo Jia said.

"It seems that the two of you also came to see Cao Gong for this matter?" Cheng Yu said.

"Childe has already led troops to chase Liu Xuande." Guo Jia said: "I just don't know if I can catch up." ”

"If Gongzi catches up, it can be seen that Liu Xuande has no intention of defecting." Xun You said: "If he doesn't catch up, it means that Liu Xuande is wary of Xu Du, and his defection is obvious." ”

"Let's not say too much about it here." Cheng Yu said: "Let's talk about it when I see Cao Gong." ”

Cheng Yu, Guo Jia and others asked to see him, which was completely unexpected by Cao Cao.

was sitting in the room, and when he heard Xu Chu's report, he hurriedly said, "Please come in and talk." ”

Xu Chu led everyone in.

Cao Cao asked: "When the princes see me on a snowy day, is there something important?" ”

"I heard that Cao Gong asked Liu Xuande to lead troops to Qingzhou?" Cheng Yu asked.

"Although Yuan Shu is dead, the remnants of his command plan to go to Qingzhou to serve Yuan Tan." Cao Cao said: "I ordered Liu Xuande to lead troops to eradicate the remnants of Yuan Shu. ”

"Cao Gong made a big mistake." Cheng Yu said: "Liu Xuande has the appearance of a hero, it is easy to control him if he is left in Xudu, once he is allowed to leave, he will definitely betray the Cao family!" ”
