"How dare I lie about the military situation!"
"The battle report is here, Sikong, please take a look!”
Li Dian presented the battle report on silk.
Cao Cao took it, Guo Jia and Cao Ren also came over to take a look.
It was written in black and white. They had no choice but to believe it.
"Strange!"
"This Liu Bei seems to have been reborn after the battle of Haixi. He actually has such wisdom and courage.”
Guo Jia's eyes lit up as he clicked his tongue in wonder.
"Liu Bei has Chen Deng to assist him, so it's not impossible for him to defeat Lu Bu.”
"However, he actually managed to block two moves from Lu Bu?”
"This is a little unbelievable. How could Liu Bei have such martial arts?”
Cao Ren was also in disbelief.
Cao Cao stared at the battle report, his brows tightly furrowed, and he didn't speak for a long time.
After a long time.
Cao Cao sighed,"This person's strength has exceeded my expectations. Fengxiao, it seems that our plan to take Xu Prefecture will fail.”
"Not necessarily."
Guo Jia put away his surprise and a confident expression appeared on his face.
"Yuan Shu has been eyeing Xuzhou for a long time. He will not sit idly by and watch Xuzhou fall back into Liu Bei's hands. The battle between Yuan and Liu will be imminent.”
"Once Liu Bei leads his army south to resist Yuan Shu, it will be a good opportunity for us to take down Xuzhou.”
Guo Jia offered another plan.
"Fengxiao makes sense."
Cao Cao agreed with him and said,"So, what do you mean? We should just sit back and watch the tigers fight."”
"That won't do."
"I think that my lord should quickly send an army to the east. While Liu Bei has just recovered Xuzhou and has yet to stabilize the situation, he should take down Xiaopei first.”
"Xiaopei is the gateway to Xuzhou. With this city in hand, our army can charge straight for Xiapi at any time and place to prepare for taking Xuzhou in the future.”
Guo Jia said.
Cao Cao nodded heavily and waved his hand." Pass down my order. The entire army will not enter Xudu. We will immediately advance eastward and attack Xiaopei!"”
"Yes!"
Li Dian accepted the order and left.
" To be able to survive two moves from Lu Bu and even make Chen Deng and Zang Ba submit to him, turning the tables in a short month, this is not the Liu Bei I know…"
Cao Cao looked in the direction of Xu Prefecture and muttered to himself. His eyes flashed with suspicion.
……
Xiapi, the state capital.
"Husband, the sun is already high in the sky. Mei 'er, please stand up for husband.”
Gan Mei's melodious voice rang out in the bedroom.
"After fighting for a few days, we finally have a few days of leisure.”
Liu Wu didn't think so and gently hugged Gan Mei.
" Husband, isn't it inappropriate in broad daylight?"
"As long as your husband likes it, I don't care if it's day or night!”
"Husband ~~"
…
It wasn't until noon that Liu Wu brought his new concubine to the front hall.
At this moment.
Chen Deng, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao, and the other generals had been waiting for a long time.
Zhang Fei saw Liu Wu holding Gan Mei's hand in an extremely intimate manner. He could not help but frown slightly, feeling a little displeased.
However, he was only unhappy.
"Forget it. He helped big brother recover Xu Prefecture and made such a great contribution. That Gan Mei can be considered a reward for big brother.”
"In any case, Eldest Brother only wants to take her as a concubine. As long as she's not Sister-in-law, he'll give her as a concubine.”
Zhang Fei was so relieved that he no longer cared about it.
"My lord, all the soldiers have been counted and defended.”
"Our army originally had soldiers, and with the captured soldiers of Lu Bu, we now have around ten thousand soldiers.”
"If we include Langye's Zang Ba, we'll have at least sixteen thousand soldiers.”
Zhao Yun reported.
Liu Wu nodded slightly and smiled." Unknowingly, we also have more than ten thousand soldiers. Compared to the destitute days on the west coast, we are much more generous."”
Zhang Fei jumped up.
"Big brother, what are we waiting for?"
"Big brother, give the order. We will immediately lead the army south and go to Xutai to deal with that dog thief Yuan Shu.”
"Last time, if it wasn't for Yuan Shu's attack, Big Brother would have had to lead his army south. How could he have let Lu Bu take advantage of the loophole and steal Xiapi?”
"We have to take revenge for this!"
He didn't wait for Guan Yu to come back. The two brothers discussed and started to clamor to send troops.
"Wei Tai is located at the place where the Si River flows into the Huai River.”
"Once Yuan Shu takes down this city, he can head east to Juhuai Pu and the other cities on the west side of the sea, cutting off the Huai River and isolating the entire Guangling Prefecture.”
"If he goes north along the Sishui River, he will reach Xiapi City in less than three days.”
"Deng also agrees with General Yi De. My lord should personally lead the army to the south and not let Yuan Shu take down Xutai.”
Chen Deng stated clearly the interests of the court and urged the court to send troops.
"Bang!"
Liu Wu slapped the table and stood up.
Everyone's spirits were lifted as they thought that Liu Wu had given the order to send troops south.
Liu Wu waved his hand." Pass down the order. Gather the army and head to Xiao Pei immediately!"”
Xiao Pei is in the north and Wei Tai is in the south.
This completely opposite direction shocked everyone.
Zhang Fei was the first to shout," Big brother, Yuan Shu's army is approaching Xu Tai. Why are we going to Xiaopei instead of Yuan Shu?"”
"Could it be that my lord wants to seize Xiaopei and close the northern gate of Xuzhou to prevent Cao Cao?”
Chen Deng immediately understood Liu Wu's intention.
Liu Wu smiled,"Yuanlong understands me."”
"But Cao Cao has just subdued Zhang Xiu and is still in Wan City. What threat can he pose to us?”
Zhang Fei questioned again.
Chen Deng coughed dryly and said," Xiao Pei is indeed important, but General Yi De is not without reason. My Lord, I think that there should be priorities in the use of troops."”
He was tactfully reminding Liu Wu to pay attention to who the real enemy was.
"Zhang Xiu will definitely surrender and rebel. Cao Cao will definitely lose his troops and retreat north.”
"If he knows that I have recovered Xu Prefecture, he will definitely lead his army to march eastward at night to seize Xiao Pei and prepare for his attack on Xu Prefecture in the future.”
Liu Wu gave a reason.
Zhang Xiu's words shocked everyone present.
"Since Zhang Xiu surrendered to Cao Cao, why did he still rebel?”
Zhang Fei was the first to not believe it.
Zhao Yun also said,"According to the spy's report, Cao Cao treated Zhang Xiu very well. He shouldn't rebel again, right?"”
Chen Deng didn't question him. He cupped his hands and asked,""My lord, how can you be so sure that Zhang Xiu will rebel against Cao Cao? Forgive us for our stupidity, but please tell us clearly?”
Before he finished speaking.
A servant of the Mi Family entered and presented a silk book to Mi Zhu.
After Mei Zhu saw it, his expression changed and he hurriedly said,""My lord, my Mi family's spies have sent an urgent report from Wan City. Zhang Xiu used Jia Xu's plan to suddenly launch a rebellion. He attacked Cao Cao's camp at night and killed Cao Cao's eldest son, Cao Ang, and the fierce general, Dian Wei. Cao Cao has been defeated and retreated to Xudu!”
In the hall, it was as if a muffled thunder had sounded.
Everyone was in an uproar as they looked at Liu Wu in shock.
