After a whole night of fleeing and being hunted down, the two brothers Cao Ren and Cao Hong finally escaped, but the large pairs of soldiers under their command were not so lucky, after this ambush, more than 40,000 troops were directly left less than 20,000, and the rest were either killed or captured, and ironically, among the remaining 20,000 people, there were still thousands of people left by Liu Bei.

There were only so many people left, and they had just learned the power of Zhang Liao, Cao Ren naturally did not dare to wander around the East China Sea anymore, and after packing up some grain and grass in the camp, he hurriedly returned with the remnants of the army, preparing to go to Xiapi and Cao Cao's large army to gather.

On the way back, the entire army was quite sluggish, and Cao Ren, the main general, also lowered his head, so he had time to calm down at this time, reflecting on the abnormal situation last night, now that he thinks about it, Liu Bei undoubtedly rebelled, and united Zhang Liao to pit them, but Cao Ren couldn't figure out what was the motive for this Liu Bei's rebellion, obviously he had a deep hatred with Lu Bu, but he was still willing to unite with the other party, and even left behind more than half of his own soldiers and horses, and only brought two thousand soldiers and horses over.

"Big brother, just now our spies learned a very strange thing, last night, when we were ambushed by Zhang Liao, there were many large sailing ships in the port west of Tanxian County that went down the south!" Cao Hong rushed over from behind at this time and reported.

"Sailboat?" Cao Ren read a sentence, and then a thought suddenly flashed in his mind, and the confused train of thought was completely unraveled, and he patted his thigh excitedly: "I see, this Liu Bei must have gone down the river along the river!" ”

"Big brother, you mean Liu Bei left by boat?" Cao Hong scratched his head and asked.

"That's right, this Liu Bei should not have taken refuge in Lu Bu, but made an agreement with Zhang Liao to lead us into Zhang Liao's trap, and then Zhang Liao borrowed a boat to send them away!" Cao Ren gritted his teeth a little as he spoke: "What do you have old friends with the hugely rich Mi family, it turns out that everything is a scam, Liu Bei did not hesitate to unite with Lu Bu in order to break away from the lord, and the staff he sent at that time definitely went to see Zhang Liao, just to put all of us in it!" "This Liu Bei is not a thing, he will leave if he wants to, but he still has to put us together!" All doubts were easily solved, and Cao Hong was also angry in his heart. Although there are many factors in this defeat, the result is a heavy loss after all, although they are Cao Cao's own people will not have the punishment of killing their heads, but they will never be able to escape from being punished and reprimanded.

"Hurry up and send someone to report to the lord quickly, let the lord send troops to intercept Liu Bei along the way, and be sure to break the big-eared thief into pieces!" The more Cao Ren thought about it, the more aggrieved he became, and he hated Liu Bei to the core, so he called his personal guards to send the information to Cao Cao as soon as possible, in the hope that Cao Cao would send troops to intercept Liu Bei.

Although the Donghai Kingdom and the Xiapi Kingdom belonged to the two counties of Xuzhou, they were not far away, and after the guards sent by Cao Ren rode fast horses for a day and a night, they rushed to the destination and met Cao Cao, who was leading the army to confront Lü Bu.

Cao Cao was a little surprised when he heard that Cao Ren had sent someone to deliver an urgent report, but he immediately raised the handsome tent to meet Cao Ren's herald, and as a result, he was not good at this meeting.

Liu Bei rebelled and fled south from the Yangtze River, and before leaving, he united with Zhang Liaoyin to kill them, and the army sent to the East China Sea Kingdom was also ambushed by Zhang Liao, and there were only 20,000 left, and the two things added up to two words - tragedy.

Thinking that Liu Bei had stupidly agreed when he first mentioned the division of troops, Cao Cao's face was red and white, and he directly pulled out the Yitian sword beside him and directly split the table in front of him in half: "Big-eared thief, treat you like a national soldier, you dare to repay me like this!" ”

"Lord, since that Liu Bei is so hateful, why don't we ignore Lu Bu for now, and immediately rush to the ports along the way to intercept their ships, and then we will send some troops back and break that Liu Bei's body into ten thousand pieces!"

"Dare to unite with Zhang Liao to pit tens of thousands of brothers in our army, we really have to get rid of him first!"

"Kill Liu Bei first to vent his anger, and then come back to deal with Lu Bu, anyway, Liu Bei has so many troops!"

Cao Cao's civil and military forces also jumped out one by one at this time. At this moment, their hatred for Liu Bei has far exceeded Lu Bu's hatred, and the duel with Lu Bujun is the real thing for both sides, and there is nothing to say about the dead and wounded, but by Liu Bei, who they think is their own people, no one can get over that hurdle in their hearts, and in the war, the most hated thing is not the enemy, but the traitor.

"Lord, looking down, it's better to let Liu Bei go for the time being and attack Lu Bu with all your might!" Among the crowd, a few strategists didn't join in the fun, and Xun You even stood up against it.

"What did you say, Mr. Gongda? Liu Bei is so despicable and has cheated tens of thousands of brothers in our army, shouldn't he send troops to kill him? Hearing that Xun You was actually opposed, Xiahoudun felt uncomfortable at the moment and asked.

"From the perspective of personal enmity, Liu Bei really wants to get rid of him as soon as possible, but from the perspective of the great cause of the lord, since Liu Bei escaped at this time, there is no threat to us, Lu Bu is our great enemy, not to mention, Liu Bei has already premeditated, at this time, we may not be able to chase after him if we send troops to chase him, it is better to let him go first, and when we free up our efforts, we can destroy him at any time!" Xun Yu Dao.

"Gongda's words make sense, Lu Bu is our number one enemy, as for Liu Bei, since he has run away, wait for us to free up our efforts and then clean him up!" Although Cao Cao was eager to immediately arrest Liu Bei and cut him with a thousand knives, he was not blinded by anger, knowing that pursuing Liu Bei at this time was definitely not the best policy, Cao Cao immediately agreed with Xun You's statement.

"Meng De, Liu Bei only has 2,000 men and horses to escape, we can completely let the Taishou along the way send some county soldiers to stop him first, and then we will transfer 10,000 troops from here to destroy him, it will not affect the attack on Lu Bu!" Xiahoudun was a little unwilling.

"Forget it, although Liu Bei has few soldiers, his two righteous brothers have the courage of ten thousand people, and the county soldiers who stayed behind may not be able to intercept Liu Bei, and since Cao Ren's side is defeated, Zhang Liao's 30,000 army will soon return to Lu Bu, I don't want to miss my big event because of Liu Bei!" Cao Cao thought for a moment, but still shook his head.

Lu Bu is a strong enemy, Cao Cao doesn't want to affect the layout of this side for any reason, no one can tell what will happen in the next second, if it happens because he sent 10,000 troops and the overall situation on this side is damaged, then play Dafa.

、、、、、

In the same Xuzhou area, after Cao Cao received the situation of the East China Sea, Lu Bu also quickly received the good news sent to him by Zhang Liao, the family was happy and the family was worried, Cao Cao was unlucky, so happy Lu Bu was naturally happy, this good news also made Lu Bu feel a little relieved in his heart, Wen Yuan did not disappoint him after all.

"Come on, call all the generals to come and discuss the matter!" got a great good news, Lu Bu's first idea was to spread the news, for a period of time, because of Cao Cao's repeated siege of the city and land, there were some unstable people in the whole army, this time it was able to boost morale.

Because it was in a state of preparation for war at this time, it didn't take long for everyone to arrive one after another, and they bowed to Lu Bu one by one: "See the lord!" ”

"Sit down!" Lu Bu was in a very good mood at this time, and after showing everyone the seats one by one, he said with a smile on his face: "Calling everyone here today, there is actually a great thing I want to tell you!" ”

Everyone, including Chen Gong, raised their heads and waited for Lu Bu's next step.

"Wen Yuan just sent someone to deliver good news, he has defeated Cao Ren's army, beheaded 20,000 enemies, at this time Cao Ren's remnants have fled to join Cao Cao, Wen Yuan will also lead the army guarding the East China Sea to come to the aid of Xiapi!" Seeing that everyone's attention was attracted, Lu Bu was very satisfied, and raised the secret message in his hand.

"Wow!" Lu Bu's words were like stones falling into boiling water, which made everyone in the audience boil a little, which was too fast, Cao Cao had an army of 50,000, and the East China Sea Kingdom only had 30,000, but it was defeated in less than half a month, which was really unexpected.

After the surprise, everyone's hearts were full of admiration for Zhang Liao, and they fought the battle to this point, and they couldn't accept it, of course, some of them were jealous of Zhang Liao, but obviously they weren't so stupid to show it on the surface.

"It must be hard for everyone to imagine how Cao Jun could be defeated so easily, it was Liu Bei who helped a lot!" Seeing the unexpectedly unexpected appearance of everyone, especially Chen Gong, Lu Bu somehow, felt a little pleasure in his heart, and said.

"Liu Bei?" Everyone was amazed.

"See for yourself, this Liu Xuande is really incomprehensible!" Lu Bu threw the letters in his hand to Chen Gong on the right and asked them to pass them down and read them one by one.

"Liu Bei is unwilling to be swallowed and controlled by Cao Cao, so he came up with such a clever move, but this is a good thing for us, with a dozen big ships and a little grain and grass in exchange for Cao Cao's 20,000 troops, it's worth it!" After learning the full truth of the matter, Chen Gong also had a slight smile on his face. This Cao Cao made a lot of calculations, but he was overturned by Liu Bei, who he didn't expect at all.

"Hmmm! Wen Yuan has made a turnaround, and our side can relieve a lot of pressure! Lu Bu nodded.

"Zhang Wenyuan's luck is too good, he actually picked up a credit like this!" Wei Xu below didn't know what kind of mentality he had, so he suddenly said.

"Fools!" Chen Gong glanced at Wei Xu, and was very disgusted in his heart, everyone with a discerning eye knew that the main reason for defeating Cao Jun in the East China Sea Country this time was of course the betrayal of Liu Bei's side, but if it weren't for Zhang Liao's command and the fighters he was looking for were just right, how could there be such dazzling results, and only this kind of incompetent person would attribute all this to luck, but he couldn't see the ability of others, and he just wanted to make people laugh.

"Hugh is talking nonsense, this defeat is due to Wen Yuan's proper command, how can you say luck!" Lu Bu also glanced at Wei Xu very dissatisfied, and drank lightly.

"Yes!" Seeing that Lu Bu was a little angry, Wei Xu could only lower his head, but a seed of resentment was planted in his heart.
