Having said that, the atmosphere of this banquet was not bad, and after Liu Bei finished eating, Cao Cao wanted Liu Bei to stay in the city. But Liu Bei still refused, and Cao Cao still didn't force it. Subsequently, Liu Bei took Sun Qian and Jian Yongyi back to the military camp outside the city.

Not long after Liu Bei left, Xun Yu hurriedly came to Cao Cao. After seeing Cao Cao, Xun Yu was blunt and asked Cao Cao to execute Liu Bei. And Cao Cao was not as decisive as yesterday in this matter, and after listening to Xun Yu's words, Cao Cao couldn't help but fall into a deep thought.

waved his hand to let Xun Yu leave, and Cao Cao ordered someone to invite Du Chen. After Du Chen arrived, Cao Cao opened his mouth and said, "Si Lang, Wen Ruo is bent on me executing Liu Bei, what do you think of this matter?" ”

Hearing Cao Cao's question, Du Chen also fell into deep thought. But this time, Du Chen only thought for a moment before making a decision, and then Du Chen said: "Chen doesn't agree with Wen Ruo's point of view. Meng De, you are raising a soldier of benevolence and righteousness, in order to eliminate violence and peace for the people. Moreover, we all rely on faith to recruit the best. And Liu Bei is known as a hero, and he has a very benevolent and righteous spirit. Now Liu Bei is at the end of the road, if we kill him, we will kill the virtuous. ”

"If such notoriety spreads, then all the wise and resourceful people in the world will be suspicious, and even if they have the heart to take refuge, they will not dare to come because of doubts in their hearts. Liu Bei is small, but all the talents in the world are big. ”

Listening to Du Chen's words, Cao Cao's face changed and changed, and then, Cao Cao smiled boldly, and then said to Du Chen: "Si Lang's words, I have to worry deeply, then this matter will be done according to what Si Lang said." Cao Cao finished. let Du Chen go down to rest, and he thought about something alone before falling asleep.

The next morning. Cao Cao went to the court and wanted to crown Liu Bei as the pastor of Yuzhou. And heard the news. Cao Cao's strategists were all shocked, especially Xun Yu and Cheng Yu.

"General, Liu Bei will not be under others in the end, if you don't plan early, you will win disasters in the future." Cheng Yu stepped forward and admonished.

However, Cao Cao did not pay attention to Cheng Yu's advice, but said to the courtiers: "Today is the day to appoint heroes, how can you lose the heart of the world by killing one person, this matter has been discussed with Si Lang, there is no need to care." ”

Cao Cao finished speaking. There was no more controversy in the hall. In addition to Cao Cao in Yanzhou, Du Chen's words have the most weight, since Du Chen has agreed, there is no way for everyone to persuade him.

Subsequently, Cao Cao sent Liu Bei with 3,000 soldiers and horses to help him take office in Yuzhou. However, it was said that Liu Bei had received Cao Cao's funding, so he led his generals and Cao Cao's funded soldiers and horses to Yuzhou. Liu Bei led his troops to Tun Xiaopei, and then began to gather the soldiers and horses of Xuzhou to prepare to attack Xuzhou Lu Bu.

Because Cao Cao funded the abundance of grain and grass. So in a short time, Liu Bei gained a firm foothold in Xiaopei, and his strength was also expanding rapidly. When Liu Bei felt that the time was ripe, he sent someone to inform Cao Cao. However, Cao Cao raised troops to help him recapture Xuzhou.

In Xuchang City, Cao Cao was also very concerned about Liu Bei's situation, when Cao Cao learned that Liu Bei was well prepared. He prepared to raise the army of Yanzhou and prepare to crusade against Lu Bu in Xuzhou. However, the army had not yet assembled, and a piece of news disrupted Cao Cao's original purpose.

this day. Cao Cao was discussing with his advisers about the crusade against Xuzhou. When the ministers were sharpening their knives and preparing to take Xuzhou, a soldier ran in in a panic. Knelt in the hall.

Seeing the soldier, everyone in the court was a little stunned. This person came in such a hurry, afraid that something would be in trouble.

What everyone expected was not wrong, but they only heard the soldier say to Cao Cao: "The lord's big business is not good!" Zhang Ji led troops from Guanzhong to attack Nanyang, and died for being shot by a stray arrow. Zhang Ji's nephew Zhang Xiu commanded the generals under Zhang Ji, who used Jia Xu as a strategist, connected Liu Biao, and stationed troops in Wancheng. It is also rumored that he plans to raise troops to invade the territory and directly attack Xu Du to seize the holy car. ”

Hearing this, Cao Cao was furious. appeased the soldier and let him go down to rest, and then Cao Cao glanced at His Highness's ministers and then said: "Zhang Xiu'er is too deceitful, I am fighting with the Xing army, but I am afraid that Lu Bu will take the opportunity to attack, I don't know if you have a good plan?" Although Cao Cao said it to the people in the entire hall, his eyes looked at Du Chen, Xun Yu and several other important ministers.

Several people glanced at each other, and then Du Chen got up and said to Cao Cao: "This matter is easy to do." ”

Hearing Du Chen say this, Cao Cao was overjoyed, and then Cao Cao hurriedly asked, "Does Si Lang have a good plan?" ”

Du Chen glanced at Cao Cao, and then said with a slight smile: "Lu Bu is a brave and unscrupulous person, and Lu Bu is a person who guards the land, and has no heart to expand the land, as long as Meng De you lure him to his advantage, presumably Lu Bu will definitely not object." Meng De only needed to send an envoy to Xuzhou to add an official to Lu Bu, and named him the assassin of Xuzhou, so that he could reconcile with Xuande. Lu Bu got what he wanted, and he was naturally overjoyed in his heart, and he would definitely not offend Xuzhou when the time came. ”

Cao Cao was overjoyed when he heard this, but then he showed a trace of sadness. Then, Cao Cao said: "Lu Bu is not afraid, but Chen Gong under Lu Bu is resourceful, I don't know if this strategy can deceive Chen Gong." ”

Cao Cao's thoughts Du Chen naturally thought of it, and then Du Chen said: "There is no need to worry about this matter, after all, the generals of Xuzhou are listening to Lu Bu's orders, even if Chen Gong is resourceful, but without Lu Bu's approval, Chen Gong still does nothing." ”

"Good!" Cao Cao glanced at Du Chen approvingly, and then gave an order. The next day, Cao Cao went to the imperial court, canonized Lü Bu, and then sent people to Xuzhou with the official seal and the reconciliation letter. On the other hand, Cao Cao wanted to personally lead the army and attack Wancheng, but was stopped by Du Chen. Because Du Chen knew that it was in the process of conquering Wancheng that Cao Cao's general Dian Wei and his eldest son Cao Ang and nephew Cao Anmin died in battle! In order not to repeat history, Du Chenmao recommended himself and led the White Tiger Battalion, Xuanwu Battalion and 50,000 troops of the Golden Viper Army to conquer Zhang Xiu.

On the occasion of parting, Qin Xi, Cai Yan and Zhang Ning all sent each other with red eyes, but Du Chen saw the three beloved wives like this, but his heart was not only very good. However, even if there was a lot of reluctance in his heart, Du Chen could only say goodbye to the three wives and lead the troops to the battle.

For the crusade against Zhang Xiu, Du Chen was quite jealous in his heart. You must know that Zhang Xiu's strategist is the poisonous Jia Xu, this person uses vicious tactics and unscrupulous means to achieve his goals, so Du Chen has to mention 100% of his spirit in the face of him.

Although according to history, the first expedition to Zhang Xiujia Xu fell to the wind, but who knows whether history will change because of his arrival. Because, Chen to Gao Shun were all influenced by themselves, which deviated from history.

For this reason, Du Chen personally took the vanguard, took the White Tiger Battalion and the Xuanwu Battalion to take the lead, and made Xiahou Tang the Chinese army and commanded the army.

Because the White Tiger Battalion and the Xuanwu Battalion are both elite soldiers, and Du Chen's personal guards are also extremely brave, Du Chen is already a master of art and boldness, and he only led 6,000 elite soldiers to enter Zhang Xiu's rule. According to Du Chen's idea, he wanted to be a soldier and fast, and when Zhang Xiu and Jia Xu did not reflect it, he came to the city, so that Jia Xu had no chance to use his strategy.

But Du Chen's idea is indeed good, but it ignores one point. Since Zhang Xiu united with Liu Biao, Jia Xu expected that Cao Cao would definitely come to attack, so under Jia Xu's suggestion, Zhang Xiu strengthened the investigation of his rule, the purpose was to be afraid of Cao Cao's sudden attack. It was because of this that Du Chen led the elite soldiers to enter Zhang Xiu's territory, and Du Chen's whereabouts were placed in front of Zhang Xiu and Jia Xu. Du Chen's self-righteous soldier speed has completely become a handle. (To be continued......)
