the next day.
Two things happened in Xudu.
The first thing was that Kong Rong, who was defeated by Yuan Tan, had to leave Beihai. When he was desperate, he heard that the emperor was in Xudu and went straight to Xudu.
Cao Cao welcomed Kong Rong's arrival and asked Xun Yu to temporarily meet and entertain Kong Rong.
The second thing is very important to Cao Cao.
That is when Chen Zhou officially set out to supervise the army in Guanzhong and put down the rebels.
Cao Cao and the others went out of the city to see him off in person, and even brought Cao Shan with them.
When he saw Cao Shan, Chen Zhou felt a little embarrassed.
After all, after eavesdropping on so many of their whispers last night, as well as some private matters of his daughter’s family, he was too embarrassed to face Cao Shan again. He coughed lightly and said: "My lord, I'll leave first. It will take two months at the earliest." , I will definitely come back, please rest assured, my lord."
"Wataru, please remember what I said. If there is any danger, don't hesitate and come back immediately."
Before setting off, Cao Cao also warned.
Chen Zhou nodded to show that he understood, then looked at Cao Shan, gave her a nice smile, and then took Dian Wei, Cao Zhen, and more than 300 people with him, and left Xudu to go north.
"Sir, wait."
Cao Ang quickly stepped forward and said, "We have made what you want."
He asked someone to bring a box over and place it next to Chen Zhou and their horses.
No one knew what Chen Zhou was going to do, so they looked at it strangely.
Chen Zhou didn't make it public either, so he had someone put it away and continue heading north.
The line moved quickly and drifted away.
"Shan'er."
Cao Cao said: "When Du Zhi comes back, I will arrange for you to get married."
Cao Shan's cheeks were slightly red and she said shyly, "It all depends on father's arrangements."
She is very satisfied with this husband.
"good!"
Cao Cao smiled happily and said: "Let's go back and take a look at Kong Wenju."
——
Liu Bei felt that his life was hard.
He set out for Xudu, and when passing through Qiao County, he was shocked to hear the bad news. When he left, Yuan Shu sent troops to attack Xuyi and Huaiyin, and had to turn back to rescue Xuzhou. He could only have someone send a message to Dong Cheng, but he could not come himself.
He dared to go directly to Xudu because Yuan Shu and Liu Biao were in a stalemate and had no time to pay attention to him. However, he never imagined that Yuan Shu could fight on two fronts and wanted to annex the big granary of Xuzhou. He was so angry that he almost cursed.
"Damn Yuan Shu."
Liu Bei shouted angrily: "Go back, go back quickly!"
The great opportunity to get close to the emperor and achieve development was gone.
The emperor is important, but Xuzhou is more important.
That was the first big city he owned, and he must not lose it.
"I will definitely chop off Yuan Shu's head!"
Guan Yu was also very angry. His great plan was disrupted by the dead bones in the tomb, and he was very angry.
However, before the first bad news was digested, the second bad news came again. When they fled back to Pengcheng, they saw Zhang Fei leading more than a thousand remaining soldiers walking in their direction in embarrassment.
"Brother!"
Zhang Fei and Liu Bei met, first shouted loudly, and then cried: "I can't defend Xiapi, I'm sorry, brother."
Sun Qian asked in shock: "Could it be that Yuan Shu has already reached Xiapi?"
"No, it's Lu Bu's three-named family slave!"
Zhang Fei wiped away his tears and said viciously: "Lu Bu is really nothing. He came to Xuzhou in poverty so that my eldest brother could take him in. Forget about him being ungrateful. He even joined forces with Yuan Shu to trick me out of the city and sneak attack Xia Pi. I can't defeat him, so I can only lead my troops to withdraw first, brother, what should we do?"
"What?"
When Liu Bei heard that Xiapi was gone, his eyes widened at first, and then his whole body shook, unable to accept such a fact.
"Brother!"
Guan Yu quickly supported Liu Bei, then held the handle of the Qinglong Yanyue Sword tightly, and said angrily: "Third brother, let's go back right now, kill Lu Bu's fellows, and take Xiapi back."
Zhang Fei jumped up and shouted: "I will poke seventeen or eight transparent holes in the slaves of those three surnames and kill them back!"
After the anger, he became murderous again.
Guan and Zhang didn't care about anything and just led their troops to fight back.
"Generals, don't be impulsive."
Jian Yong said quickly: "The wall of Xiapi City is too high and thick for us to fight back."
Liu Bei finally regained his breath, shook his head and said: "Yun Chang, Yide, come back! Xianhe, Gongyou, what should we do now?"
Guan and Zhang had no choice but to stop.
Jian Yong said: "We can take back Xiaopei and confront Lu Bu first."
"Where's Yuan Shu?"
Liu Bei asked again.
After this happened, his head was so dizzy that he couldn't think of an idea.
Sun Qian said: "You can leave Yuan Shu alone. Lu Bu can cooperate with Yuan Shu and seek Xuzhou. Yuan Shu also wants to get Xuzhou. Now that Lu Bu has succeeded, he is willing to give Xuzhou away? Even if he is willing, Chen Gong is not willing, so it is better to let him go They kill each other and we wait for the opportunity."
"Then just do it like this, capture Xiaopei first, and then plan to conquer Pi."
Liu Bei gritted his teeth and said.
He came from Xiapi and knew very well how tall and thick the Xiapi city tower was.
Lu Bu has Chen Gong here, so it is not difficult to defend Xiapi. With their small number of people, there is no way they can get in.
"Yide, you are the only one who escaped. Where is your sister-in-law?"
Liu Bei felt nervous as he spoke.
Zhang Fei said: "Brother, I'm sorry, I can't save my sister-in-law."
Liu Bei almost cried, and sighed: "I heard that Lu Bu is lustful, and your sister-in-law..."
He didn't dare to say the next words.
If it falls into Lu Bu's hands, is there anything left?
The head is green.
"Brother, my wife is like clothes."
Zhang Fei had to comfort him.
Liu Bei felt that his tragic life was so miserable!
——
In fact, Lu Bu did nothing to Liu Bei's wife.
He wanted to do it, but Chen Gong didn't allow it, so he had to give up. At this stage, he had to listen to Chen Gong.
Climbing the tall tower of Xiapi, Lu Bu overlooked the whole city and felt very excited. He occupied a big city and owned the prosperous Xuzhou. He felt that he had reached the pinnacle of his life.
"Thank you, Gongtai, for helping me."
Lu Bu said excitedly.
Chen Gong said: "Marquis Wen is too polite."
Lu Bu said: "What should we do next?"
Liu Bei went to Xudu, but he will definitely come back after getting the news here.
When Yuan Shu attacked Xuzhou, he apparently cooperated with him inside and outside, and even wanted to marry him, but in fact they had their own agendas.
It is impossible for Lu Bu to give up Xuzhou, and it is still unknown whether this in-law family can be formed.
Yuan Shu is not easily deceived. He promised to give Lu Bu food and grass, but it was an empty promise and he would not watch Lu Bu get Xuzhou.
Next, he may have to face a joint attack from Liu Bei and Yuan Shu.
No matter how conceited Lu Bu was, he felt pressure at this time.
His only hope is Chen Gong.
"Liu Bei will not give up, and Yuan Shu will not give up either."
Chen Gong said calmly: "There is actually no need for Marquis Wen to send the eldest daughter to Shouchun to Yuan Shu. I have a way to help Marquis Wen deal with Liu Bei and Yuan Shu, and I still have the confidence to recruit Liu Bei. If Yuan Shu comes in again, , we can get Liu Bei to agree to join forces with us to fight back, that’s why I asked Marquis Wen not to touch Liu Bei’s wife.”
His words were spoken with confidence.
When Lu Bu heard this, he felt reassured.
But thinking about the beauty of Liu Bei's wife, his mouth watered, and he really couldn't bear to give it back.
