"It's been more than ten days, why can't we take down a small city?”
They had been blocked outside the city gate for almost a month.
Compared to his previous high spirits.
Cao Cao was visibly dispirited.
He did not expect that his most trusted candidate to defend the city would actually block him outside for so long today.
No!
It must be Chen Deng!
Chen Deng was ranked at the top of the Advisor Board.
Bai Ye couldn't stop the advisor team formed by Guo Jia and the others!
Even at this moment, Cao Cao still didn't regret it. He only sighed at Tao Qian's good luck. He had Chen Deng as his subordinate!
"My lord, Lord Xun Yu has an urgent report!"
Just as Cao Cao was about to organize another attack, a messenger rushed in with Xun Yu's urgent report.
Under the speed of the horse, they finally arrived.
"Wen Ruo?"
A strange look flashed across Cao Cao's eyes.
Wasn't Xun Yu guarding the city in Yanzhou?
He actually gave him an urgent report.
Did something happen in Yanzhou?
Thinking of this, Cao Cao's expression changed drastically and he quickly said,""Bring it up quickly!"
He took the envelope and opened it.
In an instant, he felt uncomfortable.
His expression was much uglier than before.
"My lord, what's wrong?"
Guo Jia asked.
He knew very well that Xun Yu would not casually send an emergency report to Cao Cao under normal circumstances.
If it wasn't for the fact that something really happened, Xun Yu wouldn't have sent someone to deliver the emergency report.
"That Lu Bu has taken over half of Yanzhou!”
Cao Cao's expression immediately turned ugly.
The letter had already explained everything clearly.
All the counties under Yanzhou responded to Lu Bu, except Juancheng, Fan County and Dong'e County.
Those who had surrendered from Lu Bu's army said,"Chen Gong is preparing to lead his own army to attack Dong 'e and send Si Ni to attack Fan County.”
All the officials and civilians were panicking.
Now that the entire prefecture had betrayed them, only these three cities were left.
Chen Gong and the others sent an army to attack the city. If they could not unite the people closely, the three cities would definitely be shaken.
Follow the right master to prosper, follow the wrong master to perish.
Chen Gong betrayed Cao Cao and welcomed Lu Bu, and all the cities responded as if they could do something.
"Yanzhou is lost?"
Everyone was stunned.
He had come out to fight a war, but his house had been stolen?
Their families were all in Yanzhou.
If Yanzhou was lost, wouldn't that be…?？
"Lu Bu obtained the territory of a prefecture, but he couldn't occupy Dongping, cut off the main roads of Kangfu and Mount Tai, and used the dangerous terrain to resist me. Instead, he returned to Puyang.”
Cao Cao told everyone the information and told them not to worry.
Lu Bu was unable to take down his own territory and had already returned to defend.
Yanzhou was currently guarded by Xun Yu.
"My lord, should we continue to attack Xu Prefecture or return to Yanzhou?”
Guo Jia knew very well that he had to make a choice at this time.
Xu Prefecture had the majority of Cao Cao's forces.
If he didn't go back now…
It was inevitable that Xun Yu would not be able to hold Yanzhou.
When Cao Cao was attacking Xu, Lu Bu suddenly attacked his base.
This caught Cao Cao off guard.
"My lord, my suggestion is to continue attacking Xuzhou. That Lu Bu is inferior to Liu Bei!”
Xun You quickly said.
He wanted to annihilate Liu Bei and his men here.
In his eyes, Lu Bu was just a brainless general.
Even with Chen Gong.
However, it was definitely not as threatening as Liu Bei.
"En, Lu Bu's brain isn't working. Liu Bei used to be a general, but now he has Bai Ye. Although he is ranked last on the Advisor Rank, the three brothers are not easy to deal with, especially Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. When Bai Ye left, he took Dian Wei with him. Clearly, they have become powerful. If they get Xu Prefecture, the consequences will be unimaginable!”
"This is inappropriate! Yanzhou is our base camp, how can we do this?”
As everyone argued, Cao camp was split into two factions.
One faction was the defensive faction, and the other was the offensive faction.
"Lu Bu isn't worth worrying about. Fengxiao, what do you think?”
Of course, Cao Cao also felt that Lu Bu would not be able to achieve anything.
But he was also afraid that Xun Yu would not be able to hold on.
After all, there were too few people left for Xun Yu.
Compared to the other warlords and ambitious men, Lu Bu was indeed too naive.
Especially when facing Liu Bei and Cao Cao.
In history, he still hoped that Liu Bei could save him before he died.
Even though Lu Bu was skilled in martial arts and had guts, he still lacked the treachery that was required to be a fierce and ambitious man.
Other than simplicity, Lu Bu had a bigger flaw. He was short-sighted, and Dong Zhuo's small favors could really make Lu Bu submit.
Moreover, killing Ding Yuan had indeed made Lu Bu bear the infamy of being disloyal.
Even the credit for killing Dong Zhuo couldn't be offset, and at the same time, Lu Bu's future path was very limited.
In addition, Lu Bu's arrogance was unmatched.
Liu Bei was in the same situation as Lu Bu.
Moreover, Liu Bei seemed to have more people than Lu Bu.
However, Liu Bei was doing much better than Lu Bu.
The reason for this was that Liu Bei knew how to survive in troubled times.
When it was necessary, he would tuck his tail between his legs.
If Lu Bu could understand this logic, he wouldn't have ended up like this.
"Retreat!"
Guo Jia's eyes flashed. Seeing that Cao Cao was about to say something, he quickly added,"My lord, if Yanzhou is gone, won't we end up like Lu Bu, like stray dogs without a home?”
Yanzhou was Cao Cao's lair.
Guo Jia would never allow Cao Cao to attack Xuzhou.
At present, Xu Prefecture was almost unable to hold on under Liu Bei's defense.
However, they could still hold on for a while.
But Cao Cao couldn't!
Lu Bu was staring!
"I know!"
The scales in Cao Cao's heart finally tipped back.
"My lord, we can write a letter. We can take the opportunity to sell Liu Bei a favor and say that for his sake, we will withdraw our troops.”
"Yes!"
Although he was extremely unwilling, Cao Cao still wrote a letter to Liu Bei, saying that he would give him face, and then left.
After receiving the letter, Liu Bei's eyes flashed with a bright light.
Then, he handed the letter to White Night and said,""Advisor Jun, it seems like it's just as you said. Cao Cao's home has probably been stolen by Lu Bu and he wants to go back.”
"No need, my lord, we have already achieved our goal. Wouldn't it be better to let Cao Cao fight Lu Bu?”
Why would he use his own forces to wear Cao Cao down?
They had also suffered great losses during this period of time.
Let Cao Cao go back and let Cao Cao fight Lu Bu.
In a fight between a wolf and a tiger, there would definitely be damage to each other. As a hunter, he only needed to sit back and reap the benefits.
"Excellent, excellent. What Military Advisor said is exactly what I was thinking. It's a pity that I was able to defend this place today.”
Long lost.
When Liu Bei saw Cao Cao's army retreat, he couldn't help but cry.
He had finally won another battle!
