People in the Three Kingdoms, start to capture Jiangdong

"My lord, something serious happened in Yanzhou, Lv Bu colluded with Chen Gong.

Captured Yanzhou. "

Xun Yu said in a low voice.

"what?"

Cao Cao jumped up in shock.

Xun Yu handed the secret letter to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao ignored etiquette, grabbed it and read it carefully.

Cao Cao roared angrily after reading it.

"Chen Gong, I have treated you well, yet you have joined forces with Lu Bu to betray me!

I'm going to kill you, I'm going to kill you! "

"My lord, please suppress your anger."

Xun Yu reminded.

Cao Cao is not an ordinary person. After Xun Yu reminded him, he quickly calmed down.

Of course, the anger didn't go away.

It still exists, but it is suppressed by reason.

Cao Cao knew that things had already happened, and it was useless to be angry.

The only way to calm down and deal with the problem calmly is the right way.

Seeing Cao Cao calm down, Xun Yu said.

"My lord, please issue an order to withdraw the army from Xuzhou and return to Yanzhou."

"It took so much energy and time to attack Xuzhou.

It also lost a lot of troops.

There was only one Xiapi that was not defeated, so it would be a pity to give up. "

Cao Cao said hesitantly.

"It's better to return to Yanzhou after taking Xiapi.

In this way, Xuzhou and Yanzhou can win. "

"My lord, you are too greedy.

Yanzhou has been in business for many years, and that is your foundation.

We won Xuzhou, but lost Yanzhou.

It is tantamount to picking sesame seeds and losing watermelon. "

Xun Yu shook his head.

"Besides, Xuzhou is not so easy to win.

Liu Bei is talented enough, and we have not been able to win after so many days of fierce attacks.

Could it be possible to win Xiapi after fighting for a few more days?

Besides, my lord, don't forget that Sun Ce has not moved while the tiger is in Guangling.

The subordinates speculated that Sun Ce wanted to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, and finally take advantage of it.

Even if Xiapi is defeated, once Sun Ce comes to attack.

Without our main force, we cannot defend it. "

Xun Yu's words made Cao Cao sober.

He immediately knew that he could no longer stay in Xuzhou, and had to rush back to Yanzhou immediately to deal with the rebellion.

Otherwise, if Yanzhou is lost, Xuzhou will not get it.

"Wen Ruo, fortunately you reminded me.

Otherwise I'm afraid I'm going to make a big mistake. "

Cao Cao said gratefully.

"It is the duty of a counselor to advise the lord."

Xun Yu bowed and said.

"Come here, go and invite Xiahou Dun, Dian Wei and others to come and see me."

Cao Cao ordered left and right.

"promise."

Left and right took orders and left the camp.

Not long after, Xiahou Dun, Dian Wei, Cheng Yu, Guo Jia and other civil and military officials all came to Cao Cao.

"Meet the lord."

"Exemption."

After some etiquette for the monarch and ministers.

Cao Cao talked about the Yanzhou rebellion.

Everyone present was shocked and angry when they heard this.

He yelled at Chen Gong and Lu Bu.

"Okay, stop cursing.

You are summoned today to arrange for the withdrawal of troops from Xuzhou.

We must return to Yanzhou immediately to deal with the rebellion.

Otherwise, something big will happen. "

Cao Cao interrupted everyone.

"promise."

Everyone stopped insulting, and they all clapped their hands in response.

That night.

Cao Cao led Dian Wei, Xiahou Dun and others, as well as the army under his command, to retreat.

When Liu Bei learned of this, he felt very strange.

Cao Cao is clearly imperative to take down Xiapi, so how could he suddenly withdraw his troops?

"Is it playing hard to get, pretending to withdraw to lure me out of the city to pursue?"

Liu Bei thought of a possibility, and he immediately sneered.

"Tie Cao, you are really cunning like a fox.

Unfortunately, I won't be fooled by you. "

Liu Bei was proud of his wit.

It was not until the next day that Liu Bei discovered that Cao Cao had not retreated in a fake manner.

But really retreat.

As for why.

Xuzhou Xizuo soon found out.

"Chen Gong colluded with Lu Bu, and Yanzhou rebelled?"

When Liu Bei heard the news, he was surprised and happy, and even a little bit regretful.

If only I knew this information earlier.

Liu Bei felt that he would lead an army out of the city to hunt down Cao Cao and beat the dog in the water.

It's a pity that Liu Bei was too cautious, thinking that Cao Cao was playing tricks.

There is no intention of leaving the city at all.

Moreover, Liu Bei was proud of his decision.

Now it seems that he is a fool.

Thinking of this, Liu Bei felt ashamed.

However, Liu Bei's face was thicker than the city wall, and he quickly ignored the matter.

Instead, he thought about his future plans.

"If the thief Cao retreats, my prestige in Xuzhou will inevitably skyrocket.

And Tao Qian was seriously ill, and he gave up Xuzhou Mu's position before.

It seems that this Xuzhou Mu is none other than me. "

Liu Bei was proud of himself.

Chapter 331 Cao Cao's Retreat

Tao Qian, Chen Deng, Cao Bao and others soon learned of Cao Cao's retreat.

They all cheered.

That night, Tao Qian held a celebration banquet, which lasted until midnight.

At the banquet, Tao Qian gave Xuzhou the second place.

"Duke Xuande repelled the Cao bandits and saved the people of Xuzhou from fire and water.

This is a great kindness.

I want to step down as Xuzhou Mu and let Xuande take over. "
