    "My lord, why not send a troop of soldiers and horses, pretending to be thieves, to intercept and kill the Youzhou convoy." Xia Houen suggested.

    "No!" As soon as Xia Houen finished speaking, several counselors under Cao Cao jumped out to object. Cheng Yuman favored Mao Jie, Du Ji and others unanimously objected.

    Cheng Yu was the first to speak up and said: "My lord, Liu Zhe is not a fool. This happened in Yanzhou. He must know that it was us who did it, and we will give him an excuse to intervene when the time comes."

    "Lord, if we don't leave evidence, it will be useless even if Liu Zhe knows that we did it. With the Emperor here, will Liu Zhe dare to risk the disapproval of the world?" Xia Houen felt very unhappy when he saw so many people targeting him.  .

    "That's enough! Get back!" Cao Cao shouted, calming Xia Houen, and said: "The fleet in Youzhou is transporting taxes from the imperial court. In Yanzhou, there cannot be any losses. You all must protect it carefully."

    Cao Cao¡¯s voice was so loud that it was heard directly outside, and even the guards at the door could hear clearly.

    When Cheng Yu saw Cao Cao deliberately raising his voice, a trace of hesitation appeared on his face, he opened his mouth, but in the end he held back.

    After the meeting, Cao Cao quietly called Xia Houen over and asked him to carry out his plan secretly.

    Xia Houen took the order and left.

    After Xia Houen accepted the order, he led three thousand soldiers and horses to Dongjun.  The number of guards in Liu Zhe's motorcade has been found out, and there are only 500 people.  No matter how powerful Liu Zhe's men were, Xia Houen felt that he could not win with three thousand troops and a sneak attack, so he felt that he could die.  What's more, the guards this time were not the world-famous Black Scale Army, but ordinary cavalry.

    Xia Houen led his troops to ambush near Pingqiu in Chenliu County, which was the only way for the convoy to pass.

    Without waiting long, Youzhou¡¯s motorcade arrived quickly.

    Seeing this, Xia Houen gave an order, and the three thousand men and horses lying in wait rushed out one after another.

    The Youzhou convoy was in chaos.

    "The thieves are coming" Xia Houen and all the people he brought put on bandit clothes.

    It was calm along the way. I didn¡¯t expect to be attacked here. The drivers in front of me fled in all directions.

    Xia Houen looked at it and laughed. It was just as he imagined. As long as he killed these people and took the things back, it would definitely be a great achievement.

    "Kill!" Xia Houen shouted and commanded, and personally led the charge to kill.

    However, soon, there was a loud shout from behind the motorcade.

    "Don't make a mess, I'm here!"

    ¡°Then a burly black man led a team from behind the convoy and charged forward.

    The soldiers along the way were unable to resist and were scattered in all directions. Xiahou En was horrified.

    It turned out that Zhang Fei returned to Youzhou and had not stopped to rest for a few days before he was sent by Liu Zhe to escort the convoy.

    Liu Zhe had already anticipated that he might encounter bandits, so he directly sent out generals like Zhang Fei to protect him.

    How can Xia Houen be Zhang Fei¡¯s opponent?  Zhang Fei didn't even know when Xia Houen died by his hands.

    "Bah, rubbish!" Zhang Fei didn't feel happy after killing the enemies.

    A few days later, Cao Cao received the news of Xia Houen's failure in Xudu. Before he could feel sad and worried, a piece of news came from Xuzhou that made him heartbroken.

    His father Cao Song was killed by Tao Qian's men when he was passing through Xuzhou. The entire family was killed.

    After Cao Cao heard the news, he fainted on the spot.

    ?¡­

    "Cao Cao launched an army to attack Xuzhou?" Liu Zhe was very surprised after receiving the news.

    "That's right." Guo Jia nodded. After receiving the news, he rushed to inform Liu Zhe as soon as possible.

    "Cao Cao's father was killed by Zhang Kai, one of Tao Qian's subordinates. After receiving the news, Cao Cao fainted with grief. He ordered the entire army to stay in peace, and then raised 100,000 troops to attack Xuzhou."

    Cao Cao already had more than 400,000 soldiers in Yanzhou, of which 50,000 were sent to Yongzhou and 150,000 were stationed along the Yellow River. This time, he left 50,000 soldiers to defend Xudu and led 100,000 soldiers to attack Xuzhou.

    "Tao Qian is really unlucky." Jia Xu also read the information and couldn't help but feel pity for Tao Qian, saying: "He originally wanted to please Cao Mengde, but unexpectedly it was self-defeating. Zhang Kai is a yellow turban general, and it is normal to kill people and seize goods after seeing wealth. Only  It¡¯s strange that Tao Qian can¡¯t recognize people, lacks ability, and can¡¯t control his subordinates.¡±

    After Jia Xu finished speaking, he glanced at Liu Zhe. Liu Zhe was infinitely more powerful than Tao Qian. He knew people and controlled his subordinates much better than Tao Qian. He was like a dragon in the sky and a lowly reptile.

      At this time, Guo Jia asked: "Lord, what should we do?"

    Liu Zhe thought for a moment and said: "Fengxiao, please let someone make a statement and call on both sides to exercise restraint and not to use weapons rashly. It is best to shake hands and make peace."

    In fact, Liu Zhe hopes that Cao Cao and Tao Qian will attack each other. It is best to attract other princes to fight together, so that he can reap the benefits of being a fisherman, but on the surface, he still has to do enough.

    Jia Xu thought for a while and asked: "Lord, what about our convoy being attacked? Do you want to ask Cao Mengde for an explanation?"

    Zhang Fei sent back the news, but was ambushed halfway.

    "You don't have to think about it to know that it was Cao Cao who was behind it. There were three thousand bandits. How could Cao Cao tolerate such a big group of bandits operating under his nose?"

    At this juncture, should we ask for an explanation?
