    Cao Cao was furious and planned to settle the score with Liu Bei, but at this moment, another bad news came.

    Zhang Xiu of Wancheng in Nanyang County launched a surprise attack and surrounded Xudu.

    Cao Cao was shocked and angry. Xu was his lifeblood and there was no room for failure. Once the emperor was no longer in his hands, I believe Liu Zhe would be happy to raise his troops to attack.

    Cao Cao had no choice but to abandon Xuzhou. He must protect Xuzhou, and he had to lead his troops back for reinforcements. He had no intention of getting entangled with Gongsun Zan who came again, so he led his troops to abandon Xiapi and retreat to Yanzhou.

    Cao Cao retreated, and Xiapi naturally fell into the hands of Gongsun Zan. Tao Qian vomited blood and died, and most of the others surrendered to Gongsun Zan.

    Liu Bei also entered Xuzhou. He did not conflict with Gongsun Zan and occupied Pengcheng County.

    With the Battle of Xuzhou over, Cao Cao undoubtedly became the biggest loser.

    His hometown was attacked and the massacre of the city also earned him a lot of infamy.

    There were several winners. Liu Bei occupied Pengcheng County. Although Yuan Shu was defeated by Yu Jin, he later sent people into Xiapi and plundered hundreds of thousands of people to restore Shouchun.  Gongsun Zan occupied Xiapi County and Donghai County.  The remaining three counties in Xuzhou were occupied by Liu Zhe.

    When Mizhu and Mifang saw that the situation was not good, they fled to Qingzhou with their people early. At the same time, they also brought the willingness of the three county governors to join Liu Zhe.

    There is no reason not to eat the meat delivered to your door.

    After Liu Zhe's training, his men learned Liu Zhe's true biography. Xu Shu, the governor of Qingzhou, immediately asked Zhao Yun to lead his troops into Xuzhou and occupy three counties.

    Gongsun Zan was certainly not angry that several counties were robbed for no reason. In his opinion, Xuzhou should be his and others should not interfere.  However, he was sneak attacked by Cao Cao and his strength was damaged. He could only stay like this with others and planned to pacify Xuzhou in one fell swoop when his strength increased in the future.

    The Battle of Xuzhou has temporarily come to an end.

    "Cao Cao suffered such a big loss? He wasn't mad to death, was he?"

    Liu Zhe, who was sitting firmly in Youzhou, laughed and asked Guo Jia after receiving the information about the battle of Xuzhou.

    "That's not true. After Cao Cao returned to his army and defeated Zhang Xiu, he began to cultivate his health and recuperate." Guo Jia replied with a smile.

    The melee between the six princes of the Central Plains made everyone in Youzhou extremely happy. This was in line with Youzhou's expectations.

    Liu Zhe thought for a while and said: "This is only temporary. When Cao Cao recovers, he will definitely take revenge."

    Cao Cao was targeted by Liu Bei, Yuan Shu, Gongsun Zan and Zhang Xiu, causing his success to fail.  Especially for Zhang Xiu, if it weren't for Cao Cao's good luck, once Xudu was captured, Cao Cao would have been destroyed.

    Having suffered such a big loss, Cao Cao has no reason not to retaliate. When the time comes, we don¡¯t know who will be the first to be retaliated by Cao Cao.

    "Report!" At this time, someone came to report, "The special envoy of Yanzhou wants to see the lord."

    Yanzhou special envoy?

    Liu Zhe and Guo Jia looked at each other, their eyes filled with doubts. When did Cao Cao send the special envoy?  Sent for what?

    Liu Zhe asked: "Where are they?"

    "In Zhuo County."

    "Let's go and have a look." Liu Zhe took Guo Jia and set off from Xiaoxingzhuang to Zhuoxian County.

    After arriving in Zhuoxian, Liu Zhe learned the name of the special envoy sent by Cao Cao, Jiang Ji.

    "Cao Gong's staff, Jiang Ji, has met the Taiwei."

    Jiang Ji, named Zitong, has a command of 67, a force of 48, an intelligence of 83, a politics of 79, and a charm of 60.

    "Mr. Zitong, please take a seat." Liu Zhe smiled slightly, and Jiang Ji's attributes were clear at a glance.

    However, Liu Zhe's smile seemed unfathomable in Jiang Ji's eyes, especially when Liu Zhe yelled at him, which made him feel like he had been seen through.

    "I wonder why Brother Meng De sent Mr. Zitong to see me?" Liu Zhe got straight to the point and asked directly.

    Jiang Ji was stunned for a moment, not expecting Liu Zhe to be so direct.

    "Back to the Lieutenant, my lord has come to see me this time because he has something to ask of the Lieutenant." Jiang Ji replied respectfully.

    "Can you ask me something?" Liu Zhe was even more surprised. He couldn't imagine what Cao Cao would ask him for.

    "My lord hopes to buy a batch of war horses from the Taiwei." Jiang Ji expressed his intention.

    In the Battle of Xuzhou, Cao Cao suffered greatly from not having a horse.  Cao Cao originally had a group of cavalry, but they were all handed over to Xiahou Yuan and Cao Ren to take them to Yongzhou and have not returned yet.  The soldiers who attacked Xuzhou were almost all infantry.

    Infantry vs. infantry, everyone is about the same anyway, and Tao Qian does not have a cavalry team, so Cao Cao is not worried.

     But Cao Cao met Gongsun Zan. Gongsun Zan left Peiping at that time. Liu Zhe did not stop him and allowed him to leave with 10,000 cavalry.

    These 10,000 cavalrymen played an important role on the battlefield. They ran thousands of miles to sneak attack Tao Qian's troops, defeated Tao Qian, and then marched to Xiapi.

    When Cao Cao made a sneak attack on Gongsun Zan, it was precisely because of the desperate interception of these 10,000 cavalry that Gongsun Zan escaped.

    Then when Cao Cao withdrew his troops, Gongsun Zan sent five thousand cavalry to follow closely and gave Cao Cao a bite of his flesh.

    Not only that, Cao Cao did not expect that his neighbor Liu Bei also had a large number of cavalry.

    Xiahou Dun led his troops to intercept Liu Bei's army and brought 30,000 people with him. However, he was defeated by Liu Bei's subordinate Zhu Huan and 10,000 cavalry. Even Xiahou Dun was almost shot to death.

    It can be said to be a heavy loss!
