The rain gradually died down.
Only the sound of water dripping from the roof was like a drum beating against Cao Cao's heart.
After a long time, Cao Cao stood up.
He looked at Xu Wen who was sleeping soundly and tidied up his messy clothes.
He took the rag off Xu Wen's shoulder and wiped the table dry.
"Hey!"
Cao Cao let out a long sigh and called Xu Chu over to carry Xu Wen into the house to rest.
"Prime Minister, this item…"
Just as he was about to step out of the tea shed, Xu Chu suddenly stared at the compressed biscuits and could not move.
As a general, he naturally knew the many benefits of compressed biscuits.
"Let's wait until Brother Xu wakes up!”
"He drank eight bowls of strong liquor today and got drunk.”
At this moment, Cao Cao was also a little drunk.
The last time he mentioned Liu Bei to Xu Wen, it made Cao Cao want to kill Liu Bei.
But this time, Cao Cao knew that he had to get rid of Liu Xuande immediately.
Even if he was already a little drunk!
After Cao Cao finished speaking, he rushed to the palace with Xu Chu.
This time, he would definitely kill Liu Bei!
If Liu Bei is really like what Brother Xu said, then he must be an extremely dangerous person. We can't let him live for even a moment!
Xuchang City.
Starry night, fiery light soared into the sky!
Hundreds of armored soldiers raised their torches and surrounded Liu Bei's courtyard.
Inside the house in the courtyard, a candle was swaying.
In the candlelight, a blurry shadow was reflected.
"Prime Minister, Liu Bei is still in the room. It seems that he is not prepared!”
As Dian Wei spoke, he charged into the courtyard to capture Liu Bei alive.
At this moment, reputation and morals were no longer important to Cao Cao.
He only wanted to kill Liu Bei to get rid of future troubles!
As for whether anyone would dare to seek refuge with him after this, it was no longer within his consideration!
"Kill them!"
At this moment, Cao Cao's eyes were filled with killing intent. He was like a completely different person from when he was in the tea shed.
The bearing of an ambitious man and the bearing of an emperor were all revealed!
As his eagle eyes scanned the surroundings, several armored guards immediately rushed into the courtyard!
Liu Bei's remaining troops were surrounded by Xu Chu and Xiahou Dun.
Kill or surrender!
However, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were nowhere to be seen!
"Prime Minister!"
Suddenly, a few armored soldiers rushed out of the straw hut with terrified expressions!
"Prime Minister, Liu Bei…ran…ran away!”
The soldier was sweating profusely as he knelt on the ground, trembling.
Their duty was to guard Liu Bei, but they did not expect Liu Bei to escape right under their noses!
"What is that black shadow in the room?”
Cao Cao asked coldly.
"Prime Minister, it's…it's a scarecrow…"
The armored soldier placed the straw doll on the ground, his face filled with fear.
Doing things poorly was a capital crime!
" Hahahaha!"
Who knew that Cao Cao would actually laugh at the sky, causing the soldiers to be unable to tell if the Prime Minister was happy or angry!
"Liu Bei! As expected, he was treacherous! Extremely treacherous! Brother Xu, you were right again! I, Cao Cao, should have listened to you back then!”
That day, he was the one who thought he was smart and did not listen to Xu Wen's suggestion to kill Liu Bei on the spot.
However, with Liu Bei's sensitivity, he must have sensed the killing intent.
This gave Liu Bei an opportunity!
That was why he was so frightened that he actually ran away overnight before he made a decision!
Not listening to Xu Wen's words once actually made him miss this heaven-sent opportunity!
Xu Wen did not know that his casual words had actually changed history, allowing Liu Bei to escape Xuchang City ahead of time!
"Report!"
Another soldier rushed to Cao Cao and knelt on one knee, his expression anxious.
"What is it exactly? Why are you so flustered?”
Cao Cao asked coldly.
"Prime Minister! Among the 326 remaining soldiers in Liu Bei's tent, 115 have been killed and the remaining 210 have surrendered, but…"
The armored guard lowered his head, his face full of shame. He actually stammered and didn't dare to say anything else.
"But what? What about the other person? Surrender or kill?"
Cao Cao shouted.
"There's still one person who's putting up a stubborn resistance. The 300-plus armored guards that General Xiahou brought with him have been killed by him. Only General Xu Chu and General Xiahou Dun are still fighting in front of the tent!”
Before Cao Cao could say anything, Dian Wei shouted.
"This is impossible! Generals Xu Chu and Xia Hou were both extraordinarily brave. How could they not even take down a small general?!”
Cao Cao also looked coldly at the guard,""Since the armored guards are all dead, how did you come back?”
The armored guard's knees went soft, and he actually knelt down completely.""General Xia Hou sent me to report! General Xia Hou said that if they could not win the battle for a long time, it would hurt their morale!”
"Hahaha!"
"Liu Bei, ah, Liu Bei, I didn't expect that even though you ran away, you would still give me such a big gift!”
Cao Cao was overjoyed and said,""To be able to fight so fiercely with Generals Xu Chu and Xiahou Dun, it must be either Guan Yu or Zhang Fei!”
" Reporting…reporting to the Prime Minister…It's neither Guan Yu nor Zhang Fei…It's a general in white…"
Hearing the guard's words, Cao Cao immediately led Dian Wei and another 500 guards to Liu Bei's tent.
He saw the white-robed general that the armored guard had mentioned!
From afar, he could see the white-robed general holding a silver spear in his hand as he fought with Xiahou Dun and Xu Chu.
The cold wind was cold, and Cao Cao's loose robe was fluttering.
Cao Cao stared at the general, his eyes burning with passion.
If I can obtain this Divine General…
As he thought, Cao Cao laughed and looked at Dian Wei,""Dian Wei, look at that young general. How is his martial arts compared to yours?”
Dian Wei waved the broad axe in his hand, and the sound of the wind whistling could be heard.
"You're far inferior to me!" he snorted disdainfully.”
Cao Cao knew that Dian Wei was bragging.
Although he was powerful, Cao Cao had led troops for many years. How could he not see the skills of the white-robed general?
Thinking of this, Cao Cao suddenly smiled,""Then why are Generals Xu Chu and Xia Hou unable to take it down?”
"Prime Minister, Xu Chu is really fighting with his life on the line, but General Xia Hou is holding back!" Dian Wei snorted. General Xia Hou wanted to capture the white-robed general alive. Did the Prime Minister know that capturing him alive was much harder than killing him?”
Cao Cao naturally understood this logic.
However, under the joint efforts of the two generals, the white-robed general could actually kill so freely. It could be said to be divine courage!
The silver spear was bright as snow. In the cold wind, sparks flew everywhere.
Cao Cao stood on the slope and looked on happily, wishing he could cheer.
However, the white-robed general glanced over and saw Cao Cao standing on the slope!
Who knew that when he saw Cao Cao, it was as if he had seen his father's murderer. He shouted,"Thief Cao, hand over your life!"
As he roared, he suddenly broke free from Xu Chu and Xiahou Dun and charged straight towards Cao Cao.
"How dare you!"
Dian Wei waved his halberds and blocked Cao Cao.
At this moment, Xu Chu and Xiahou had also arrived.
The three of them joined forces and fought for dozens of rounds before capturing the white-robed general alive!
At this moment, the white-robed general was already covered in sweat, and his face was covered in blood.
However, his eyes were bright, and he looked at Cao Cao with hatred.
"How brave! Such a Divine General had been abandoned by Liu Bei. He was not worthy of being a Lord!”
Cao Cao cursed, but he looked at the white-robed general with a gentle gaze.
"What is your name? Why have I never seen you in the company of Liu Bei?”
The white-robed general spat and said with disdain,""I'm Zhao Zilong from Changshan! Thief Cao, if you know what's good for you, give me a quick death. If you want to kill me or cut me up, do as you please! If you want to surrender, then forget it!"
Cao Cao wasn't angry, he just frowned.
In just a few words, this general actually blocked all his words.
Kill?
Cao Cao shook his head.
If he could obtain such a divine general, he would definitely be a great help.
Persuade them to surrender?
Looking at his eyes, it was impossible!
What should he do?
"Detain him first!"
Cao Cao waved his hand, making the matter of Liu Bei's escape much easier to handle.
If Liu Bei is really as capable as Brother Xu said, then come at me!
How could I, Cao Cao, be afraid of such a treacherous person!
Abandoning all his family and soldiers, leaving only his three brothers to escape. I, Cao Cao, can't do such a thing!
Then, Cao Cao frowned and looked at Zhao Zilong, hesitating.
Obviously, everyone in the world now thought that I, Cao Cao, was a treacherous hero. Naturally, my reputation was not as good as Liu Bei's. This Zhao Zilong seemed to have a very bad impression of me.
It doesn't seem possible to make him work for me!
However, it was a pity to kill him!
Thinking of this, Cao Cao actually hesitated!
"Right!"
Cao Cao suddenly clapped his hands and his eyes lit up,""If you can't make a decision, ask Brother Xu!"
"Fengxiao, come with me to the tea stall tomorrow morning to see Brother Xu!”
Guo Jia nodded slightly." Prime Minister, are you here to persuade Zhao Zilong to surrender?"”
"Of course, this Zhao Zilong is so brave. He will definitely become famous in the future! If they were to be used by me, I would have one more fierce general here, while others would have one less fierce general. Wouldn't it be happy if this was the case?”
