It is said that Cao Cao listened to Guo Jia's suggestion and prepared to attack and take Picheng with the advantage of troops.

As a result, Zhao Chen did not panic at all, and reminded Cao Cao that there was a siege after him.

Cao Cao turned his head and looked from afar, and sure enough, a wave of men and horses holding torches high were coming towards Xiapi City.

"Not good! It's Liu Bei's people! ”

At this time, Liu Bei walked up to the city wall and smiled at Cao Cao: "This trip will end here, Brother Meng De captured Lu Bu alive, and he has shocked the Central Plains. ”

Cao Cao responded calmly: "Lu Feng fought a decisive battle on the front line first, and Xuande stole Picheng, don't you feel ashamed?" ”

Zhao Chen laughed and said, "Xiapi City is originally my lord's, how can I steal it?" ”

Liu Bei ignored Cao Cao at all, leaned on his daughter's wall with both hands, and looked at Lu Bu behind him playfully.

"Meng De has heard of Ding Yuan and Dong Zhuohu?"

Cao Cao frowned, his eyes purred, and he was not angry, pointing at Liu Bei and smiling: "Xuande, you can do it yourself." ”

Then he hurriedly led the army, turned to the north, crossed Surabaya, and headed towards Fuyang.

Just as Cao Cao was worried, it was Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Tai Shici's army.

The three of them defeated Xiahoudun and Cao Ren, and then gathered the army and headed towards Xiapi City.

Guo Jia looked back at Xia Picheng and sighed: "Zhao Chen's plan is ten times that of me, this Picheng falls into the hands of Liu Bei, I'm afraid there will be no chance to win it!" ”

Seeing Cao Jun go away, Liu Bei and Zhao Chen both breathed a sigh of relief, if Cao Cao insisted on attacking the city just now, the Cao army under the city would not be able to stop the seven thousand men and horses in the city.

Half of the night was already over, Huang Gai arranged the city guards according to Zhao Chen's requirements, and arranged the generals and soldiers of Lu Bu in the city separately to take care of them.

It wasn't until dawn that Zhao Chen was empty, leaned on the chair of the county office, and fell asleep in a daze.

The people who appeared in the dream were lovers, foot trainers, Mi Luyun, and Wan's.

The morning sun was exceptionally bright, and the entire county government was quiet, and everyone was very cautious in doing things, for fear of making a little movement.

Naturally, it was because Zhao Chen slept in the lobby of the county office, and Liu Bei also postponed the meeting because of Zhao Chen.

It wasn't until near noon that Zhao Chen woke up.

Several soldiers hurriedly sent washing and breakfast to Zhao Chen.

Then Sun Qian walked into the county office and said with a smile: "Did the military advisor sleep well last night?" ”

Zhao Chen stretched his waist and muttered: "Gongyou Mo laughed, this stool is so hard, where can I sleep well." ”

"Where's the lord?"

Sun Qian replied: "I am waiting next door for the military advisor to discuss countermeasures. ”

Zhao Chen casually stuffed two mouthfuls of breakfast, chewed on his mouth, and hurriedly walked to the next door.

"Lord, it's too late!"

Liu Bei smiled: "It's okay, it's okay, please sit down." ”

Life was in a trance, Liu Bei looked at the familiar county government in Xiapicheng, as if he was in a different world.

Two months ago, he was still doubting whether he could survive this troubled world, but now, two months later, not only does he own Guangling City, but even the lost Xiapi City has been recovered.

There are a lot more generals and strategists under him, and there are tens of thousands of more soldiers.

It's like a prince!

And all of this was brought by Zhao Chen.

Twenty-two-year-old young Zhao Chen!

Zhao Chen took a big sip of a cup of tea and asked, "Lord, what's the important matter today?" ”

Liu Bei replied: "According to the outpost, Cao Cao led the army back to Fuyang, and I don't know what the next move will be." We are discussing whether we need to take advantage of the victory to pursue and drive Cao's army out of Xuzhou? ”

Zhao Chen had already thought about this question on the city wall last night.

Liu Bei, as the lord of one party, knows Cao Cao's habits best.

The words "Meng Deke heard about Ding Yuan and Dong Zhuohu" had planted the seeds of doubt in Cao Cao's heart.

Cao Cao is suspicious by nature, and Cao Cao, who is suspicious, will definitely not use it.

Therefore Lu Bu will die.

It's just that if you want to pursue, there will be variables.

Zhao Chen replied: "Lord, there is no need to pursue at this time. ”

Tai Shi Ci didn't understand and asked: "Cao Jun's morale is low at this time, and Fu Yang City has nothing to defend, and the pursuit will definitely be able to take Fu Yang at this time, why give up the best opportunity?" ”

"General Ziyi's bravery, dust admires. It's just that not chasing at this time is far more appropriate than pursuing. ”

"Why?"

Although Cao Cao experienced this defeat, he still had tens of thousands of soldiers in his hands. Now that Lu Bu and others have been captured, they are worried that there is no place to use soldiers. Our army is pursuing at this moment, Cao Cao's army will inevitably go all out, and more importantly, Lu Bu is very likely to be under Cao Cao's men and serve Cao Cao. At that time, our army will face the two major forces of Cao Cao and Lu Bu, and it will be difficult to win easily. ”

Everyone looked at Zhao Chen and nodded in understanding.

Zhao Chen said again: "Cao Cao is suspicious by nature, and Lu Bu is a rough and reckless man, if he doesn't pursue, the seeds of doubt planted by the lord for Cao Cao will sprout, even if Lu Bu surrenders, Cao Cao will definitely kill Lu Bu, so as not to become Ding Yuan and Dong Zhuo." In this way, our army has one less threat. Yuan Shao was anxious for success, and after a few days, the news of Cao Cao's defeat reached Yuan Shao's ears, and Yuan Shao would definitely raise troops to attack Cao Cao's hometown, and Cao Cao would naturally lead the army to retreat. It will be easy for our army to recover Fuyang. ”

After Zhao Chen's simple analysis in a few words, everyone understood the truth.

Tai Shici was full of admiration for Zhao Chen, and felt that he could always see the development of the situation in advance, gain insight into people's hearts at any time, and make the best response strategy.

Liu Bei immediately clapped his hands and applauded: "According to what the military advisor said, our army will rest and recuperate first, and look for an opportunity to recover Fuyang." ”

At this time, Jian Yong stood up and reported the situation: "Lord, military advisor, Yongshang has other things that I don't know how to deal with, please ask for instructions." ”

"What does Xianhe refer to?"

"Lord, after our army regained Xiapi City, there are still generals and strategists under Lu Bu, and I don't know how to deal with it."

Liu Bei took the question and glanced at Zhao Chen.

Zhao Chen naturally asked, "Are the two generals Zhang Liao and Gao Shun in the city?" ”

As soon as the words fell, Shi A looked guilty, and whispered in Zhao Chen's ear: "Mr. Houde, I didn't persuade General Gao Shun, and followed Lu Bu out of the city." ”

Zhao Chen was taken aback and exclaimed: "It's a pity, it's a pity!" ”

Everyone didn't know why, and they all looked at Zhao Chen, who was a little out of shape.

They don't understand Gao Shun's talent, how can Zhao Chen not know?

In Zhao Chen's eyes, Gao Shun was the strongest training leader in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, and the 800 camps he trained were invincible.

If it can be included in Liu Bei's account, it will no longer be difficult to train troops in the future, and strong soldiers will continue to come.

Unfortunately, Gao Shun was captured along with Lu Bu, and the only possibility was to be beheaded by Cao Cao.

Lu Bu is not 100% loyal to Gao Shun, just as Liu Bei is to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, but also 90%.

After Cao Cao captured Lu Bu and others, Zhao Chen stopped Liu Bei's army from chasing after him, just so that Cao Cao could make up his mind to get rid of Lu Bu.

Lü Bu was beheaded by Cao Cao, and Gao Shun definitely did not surrender when he saw this.

Therefore, the only possibility is to be killed by Cao Cao.

"What a shame!"

History is history after all, and although time has changed, human life and death cannot be shaken.

Zhao Chen slowly closed his eyes.

Seeing this, Shi A felt guilty.

The outpost reported the news that, as Zhao Chen expected, Cao Cao beheaded Lu Bu, and Gao Shun was unwilling to surrender and beheaded one by one. The rest of Lu Bu's soldiers all surrendered.

Everyone admired Zhao Chen, and the enemy was thousands of miles away.
