Xuzhou, Changxi.

Cao Cao shook his hand and put Liu Mang's letter aside.

"Liu Jiangtian, even robbed Taiyuan Shangdang Hanoi, but came to meddle with my affairs!"

picked up a roll of bamboo slips again, which was a letter from Liu Bei that I had just received.

"Whoa!"

After only a few glances, Cao Cao slammed the bamboo slip to the ground!

"Liu Bei! sent troops to help that old man Tao Qian, who was my enemy, and dared to write a letter to persuade me to withdraw from the army! ”

After dropping Liu Bei's letter, Cao Cao was still angry, and shouted at Xun You: "He, Liu Bei, a weaver and peddler, what qualifications do he have to write to me?!" ”

Cao Cao was furious, and Xun You could only lower his head and remain silent.

Liu Bei sent troops to meddle in Xuzhou, and Cao Cao did not dare to rashly attack Tan County.

The offensive was unfavorable, and the retreat was unwilling.

Although he slaughtered several cities in Xuzhou, Cao Cao's resentment was still hard to dissipate.

"Report ...... Report! The scout's panicked voice made Cao Cao's hands tremble.

"Report! Lu Bu raided Dongjun, Puyang, and lost! ”

"What?!" Cao Cao jumped up and grabbed the scout by the collar. "Say it again!"

"Puyang...... Lost ......"

Cao Cao threw the scout to the ground!

"Cangchang!" Cao Cao has a sword in his hand!

"Ahh The scout clutched his head in horror......

"When the ......"

The long sword fell to the ground, Cao Cao held his head in both hands, and his body spasmed in pain......

"Ming Gong!" Guo Jia heard the news.

"Hurry up and call the healer!"

"No...... Want...... Panic ......" Cao Cao spit out a few words with difficulty, knelt on the ground, and pressed his temples with both hands.

The headache is stubborn and difficult to treat, and the attack starts, and the pain is unbearable.

Bean-sized beads of sweat fell to the ground in a dripping manner.

The staff and generals gathered around, at a loss.

"Don't ...... Nervous...... I...... It's okay! ”

The headache eased slightly, and Cao Cao struggled to stand up.

With his eyes slightly closed, Cao Cao waved his hand slowly. The pale face gradually regained a trace of blood.

"Is the information true?"

Xun You Guo Jia glanced at each other. “…… True. Chen Gong contacted Lu Bu and Zhang Miao, and opened the door to the city with the big households in the city as the internal response. Puyang ...... Lost ......"

"What about Wen Ruo?" Cao Cao's greatest concern was not the city, but his staff.

Wen Ruo escaped by luck, retreated to Dingtao, and mobilized the surrounding departments with Cheng Zhongde to hold on. Jiyin County is still under my control. ”

Cao Cao propped his elbows on several cases and kept tapping his temples with his fists. He nodded, then shook his head again. "Puyang is lost, Chen Liu, I'm afraid it will be difficult to protect ......"

Xun You Guo Jia bowed down and said: "We are planning for the Ming Dynasty, and now we have made a mistake and are guilty of dereliction of duty." ”

"Huh...... Hehe...... Hehehe......"

Cao Cao smiled helplessly.

He knew it wasn't his staff's fault.

Raising troops in Xuzhou, none of his staff members agreed, and he was all angry for a while. Difficult to self-control.

Today, the battle in Xuzhou is unfavorable, and his hometown Puyang was attacked by a sneak attack, and the fault is only himself.

"Cao...... Wrong......"

Cao Cao admitted his mistake, and all the staff felt a little relieved.

"Ming Gong, the top priority is to secure a foothold."

“…… Retire ......"

Withdrawing from the army means completely giving up the capture of Xuzhou. How difficult it was to make this decision.

Cao Cao's tenacity lies in defeat and not discouragement.

Cao Cao picked up Liu Mang and Liu Bei's letters. Hand it to Xun You. "Gongda, reply to the two of them, and say that I, Cao Cao, listened to their advice and decided to withdraw from the army."

Cao Cao's energy. It's about making the most of the disadvantages to minimize losses.

Lü Bu seized Puyang, and Cao Cao had to retreat. Since he has withdrawn from the army, it is better to sell Liu Mang's personal favor.

"Fengxiao, let's draft a military order. He ordered Cao Ren and Zhu Ling to retreat to Jibei and Taishan County respectively. Ordered Xiahou Yuan to retreat to Changyi, Shanyang County. ”

Cao Cao sighed. Helplessly, he said to himself: "Changyi can't be lost anymore." ”

The advance and retreat of the army is not as simple as turning around and leaving. Guo Jia asked: "Ming Gong, how can the Chinese army headquarters retreat?" ”

"I took the Miaocai Department and set off immediately to rush back to Dingtao. The fate of the Yuan let the Ministry of Music enter Li Dian, and also retreated to Dingtao. The headquarters of the Chinese army, led by Gongda, slowly retreated. ”

Xun Yu bowed down to receive the order.

"Feng Xiao made a hard trip, rushed to Langxie, and appeased Zhu Ling with good words." Zhu Ling was a reinforcement sent by Yuan Shao, and since he borrowed it, Cao Cao didn't plan to return it.

……

Xuzhou, Lang evil country, Kaiyang.

Almost at the same time, Liu Bei received a reply from Cao Cao, as well as news of Lü Bu's capture of Puyang.

"Sizzle......"

Cao Cao retreated, and Liu Bei was not happy but worried.

"Big brother, Cao Cao retreated, we can chase their butts and beat them up!"

"Yide!" Liu Bei's eyes were glaring, and he also had his own majesty.

Fighting Cao Cao, Liu Bei was not interested, he was thinking about Xuzhou!

Cao Cao hurriedly retreated, what should he do?

Return to Qingzhou?

How could Liu Bei give up Xuzhou, which was about to be obtained.

Continue to stay in Xuzhou?

Cao Cao is gone, Liu Bei has no reason to stay!

Sun Qian offered a plan. "My lord, the Cao army came to attack, and the country of Pi was in harmony, prevaricating, and refusing to send troops, which is really an act of collaborating with the enemy. Tao Gongzu is seriously ill and difficult to treat, and he is unable to levy, and the lord eradicates the traitors for Xuzhou, which is the right time! ”

"Good!" Liu Bei made a decision immediately.

"Yide obeys orders!"

"Zhang Fei is here!" Finally there was a battle to fight, Zhang Fei was so excited that he was trembling with excitement on his face.

"Order you to lead your troops as the vanguard, go south along the Shushui, and take down Pi!"

"Order!"

"Where's Runfu?"

Shi Tianze stepped forward. "Shi Tianze is here!"

"Order you to lead your troops, one left and one right with Yide, be sure to break through quickly and capture Xiapi!"

"Order!"

Zhang Fei and Shi Tianze were ordered to go on the expedition, and Liu Bei and Zhao Yun accompanied the Chinese army.

Another sent Sun Qian to secretly contact Mi Zhu.

Tao Qian is terminally ill, and all the staff in Xuzhou have long been looking for a way out. Mi Zhu admired Liu Bei as a person, and he had already secretly returned to his heart.

Ordered Sun Qian to contact him and use Mi's influence in Xuzhou to create public opinion for Liu Bei's march into Xiapi.

Jian Yong said: "Lord, our army will go to Xiapi and leave no soldiers and horses to garrison Langxie?" ”

Liu Bei had a plan. "Don't stay. A certain repair book was sent to Yangdu Zhuge Gongxiu (Zhuge birthday), entrusting him with the matter of Lang evil. When I get Xuzhou, Zhuge will naturally return to his heart. ”

Liu Bei is deeply familiar with the way of recruiting people and employing people, although Zhuge Dan only showed a slight favor, Liu Bei has included it in the roster of his subordinates.

Entrusting the Lang evil military to Zhuge Dan is the greatest trust and the best means of recruiting talents.

When Xuzhou is controlled, Zhuge will inevitably return to his heart.

Liu Bei, that's how confident you are!

……

It's going to be a war, it's time to grab territory, the third master Zhang Fei, excited!

led the vanguard department, non-stop, all the way south.

In front, Yishui and Shushui gradually retracted, and between the two waters, there was only a narrow passage.

And at the key point of this path, there is a camp.

Zhang Fei led his troops to march quickly, camped, rushed out of a team of soldiers and horses, and blocked the way.

Three generals, with distinct armor.

The first person pointed at Zhang Fei with a horse whip, and angrily reprimanded: "Yanzhou Cao Cao has already withdrawn, Qingzhou Liu Bei, why do you want to go south?" Quickly retreat, avoid injury and harmony! ”

Zhang Yide was stunned and roared: "Retreat? No possibility! (To be continued.) )
