Cao Cao went south to Jingzhou this time, nominally preparing to encircle and suppress Liu Bei, but in fact he wanted to seize the entire Jingzhou, Liu Bei once had a conversation with Cao Cao, the content was about the heroes of the world.

Cao Cao thinks that Liu Bei is the only one in the world who can be his enemy, Liu Bei naturally will not be stupid to admit that he is Cao Cao's fierce enemy, if so, I am afraid that Liu Bei will be chased and killed by Cao Cao with all his might.

At that time, it was raining heavily, so Liu Bei used the thunder in the rain to pretend that he was frightened, making Cao Cao think that he was a wreck who was afraid of even thunder.

In fact, Cao Cao has never relaxed his monitoring of Liu Bei, although it seems that there are many things that are not right in this whole thing, but the more Cao Cao thinks about it, the more he feels that Liu Bei is too dangerous, mainly because his acting skills are too superb, which has made Cao Cao a little worried.

This operation can be described as killing three birds with one stone, Cao Jun must send Xianfen Army to the south, these vanguard troops are led by Cao Ren, Liu Bei took advantage of the night to lie in ambush directly on the outskirts of the city hundreds of miles away, it is a dangerous terrain around the terrain, the general cavalry must take the trail, Liu Bei and others are ambushed on the road.

There were thousands of men and horses in this vanguard army, and after almost all the Cao troops entered the pocket, Liu Bei immediately sealed the pocket, and Liu Bei led the three armies to directly destroy these Cao Cao's vanguard army.

The flames directly burned those Cao Cao's vanguard troops, and countless people were burned alive, leaving behind a piece of ashes and unburned skeletons.

Cao Ren almost died in this trap, and the army of 10,000 people was directly wiped out, and all those under him were lucky enough to successfully break through.

Although the vanguard was damaged, this did not affect Cao Cao's determination to go south to seize Jingzhou, Jingzhou is a good place, whether it is Cao Cao in the north or Sun Wu in the east, or the princes of Sichuan and Shu in the west, they are all very interested in Jingzhou's meat, but do they have the courage and strength to compete for this piece of cake.

In the early morning of the next day, Cao Cao's army directly arranged a formation under the city tower, which was almost able to break the assault of generals and cavalry, and the strength of the formation also made Liu Bei pay a lot of things on Cao Cao.

Xu Shu knew at a glance that this formation was the legendary Eight Locks Formation, Xu Shu had also traveled around Jingzhou, but he had learned a lot of formations, so he still had a very good response to this classic formation.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei attacked one after another, and with Zhao Yun as the breakthrough, the three of them led three teams to constantly wander in the eight-lock formation, directly killing this formation to pieces.

Cao Cao learned that Liu Bei would actually have a master to help, and immediately wanted to get this Liu Bei's master, in fact, this eight-lock array was created by Guo Jia, Guo Jia once created the formation when he was in the academy, and Cao Cao also took it out and used it, but he didn't expect it to be broken for the first time.

This made Cao Cao wonder if there were such powerful people in Liu Bei's camp, just like Guo Jia, who were all first-class peerless talents.

"Do you know who helped Liu Bei with advice?" Cao Cao asked Cao Ren, who had just returned from the battlefield.

"That person's name is Xu Shu, a student studying in Jingzhou, and now he is a guest at Liu Bei's place. Cao Ren told Cao Cao what he knew, as the so-called knowing oneself and knowing the other side is invincible, Cao Ren is also a person who likes to study opponents, since the original fire attack caused his failure, Cao Ren has exhausted all his strength to investigate whose idea was.

"Xu Shu, is that Xu Yuanzhi? I have a good way, come here, come here, come over with a pen and paper, I want to write a letter to Xu Shu." At this time, Cao Cao recalled an old woman he had met, and if Cao Cao remembered correctly, that old woman must be Xu Shu's mother.

Cao Cao immediately picked up a pen to repair a book and sent it directly to Xu Shu, who was still in Xinye, Xu Shu looked at the heavy note letter in his hand, and only had great anxiety in his heart.

The letter wrote that Cao Cao admired Xu Shu very much and wanted Xu Shu to use it for himself, and it was precisely because of this that Xu Shu's mother was drinking tea in Cao Cao's mansion, so it also meant that if Xu Shu did not go to Cao Cao's place, it would cause his mother to cause murder.

Xu Shu went directly to Liu Bei that night, and Liu Bei expressed his thoughts, Liu Bei is a person worthy of Xu Shu's follow, but despite this, his mother's life is still more important than Liu Bei, a difficult level for heroes since ancient times, and heroes have been in a dilemma of loyalty and filial piety since ancient times.

"Brother Xuande, I have to go, my mother has been controlled by Cao Cao, if I don't leave, maybe my mother's life is in danger. "Xu Shu chose filial piety between loyalty and filial piety, after all, although Xu Shu felt that Liu Bei was worth following, after all, the time to follow was not very long.

"That hateful Cao Cao, Yuan Zhi, you go to save your mother, this is the way of the world, but after leaving, you must take care of yourself. "Liu Bei can be regarded as making Cao Cao so angry that his teeth itch, this guy is simply a bastard, and he actually threatens Xu Shu with the life of someone else's mother.

"Lord, before leaving, I really want to recommend you a person, this person is proficient in the art of war and magic, and the strategy is still above me, now in Nanyang, if he is lucky, maybe he will follow the lord, and then the lord's road will be wide. Before Xu Shu left, he didn't forget to tell Liu Bei that this Zhuge Liang was his junior brother, and in many ways he had surpassed his senior brother.

When Liu Bei heard the name of Zhuge Liang, he naturally didn't know that Zhuge Liang was a child born in the new era, so it was impossible for him to have a great name in the world.

The new generation is when the princes of the Eighteen Roads oppose Dong, and the children born at this time belong to the new generation, and Zhuge Liang also happens to be the king of these new generations.

"This Zhuge Liang is out of the mountain, can there be any instructions. Liu Bei wanted to ask Xu Shu for clarification at this time, but Xu Shu had already ridden a horse and left a long distance, and the three words Zhuge Liang had been circling in Liu Bei's mind, Liu Bei didn't know how powerful this gentleman was, and he could make Xu Shu a little admired.

"It is not difficult for Zhuge Liang to get out of the mountain, the main thing is that you need to have perseverance and thinking process, and the lord has a good reputation. The meaning of these words has actually been shown that it is still a little difficult to let Zhuge Liang come out to help.

Xu Shu left, Liu Bei also specially arranged for someone to cut down a forest, it seems that Liu Bei's statement is that these forests blocked him from seeing Xu Shu, and those felled forests have been turned into armaments and materials at this time and distributed to departments at all levels.

Cao Cao would not give up because of a failure, he ordered Cao Ren to forcibly deprive Cao Ren of his military power if he did not capture the county seat, and if he could not take it, Cao Ren would be forcibly deprived of his military power, and when the military power was gone, Cao Ren would become a bare-bones commander.

It is not strange in the whole process, but Cao Cao's attack speed has been greatly improved this time, the progress of this attack is very fast, so fast that Cao Cao himself is a little surprised, he originally thought that it was 5,000 people landing, in fact, it is not bad to have something to eat in the wilderness.

Liu Bei had already prepared Cao Cao's attack at this time, maybe he came and went quickly, and Cao's army retreated directly on all fronts, maybe all this was due to Xu Shu.

Xu Shu came to Cao Cao's base camp these days, and Cao Cao didn't say anything in the base camp, and found his mother directly, glad that Cao Cao did not apply criminal law to the old man.

Cao Cao's retreat was not because of anything else, the direct reason was that there was a foreign invasion at this time, and the army needed to face the attack of those monsters, this kind of insect may be one of the biggest natural enemies of human beings.

After Cao Jun retreated, Liu Bei was left with only a sigh of relief, the whole thing was not over, and now Liu Bei was going to find Zhuge Liang's house in Xu Shu's mouth.

When I visited for the first time, it was spring, and Liu Bei came to visit with his two brothers, but unfortunately, Zhuge Liang happened to be not at home that day, which made Zhang Fei angry like thunder.

After all, in this kind of weather, I still came to visit Zhuge Liang, and Zhuge Liang was not at home, so I don't get annoyed when I think about it.
