    "Thank you for your hard work, Yuan Rang (characterized by Xiahou Dun)." Cao Cao comforted Xiahou Dun and then let him go down to rest.

    "Zitong, I will leave the affairs of Runan to you." Cao Cao said to Jiang Ji that he brought Jiang Ji to Runan this time because he planned to appoint Jiang Ji as the prefect of Runan and govern Runan for him.

    Pingyu City has been captured, and other counties in Runan will soon be pacified. Runan can be said to be in Cao Cao's pocket.  However, although Runan was said to have been pacified, the imprint left by Liu Bei and the impact after the war meant that it would take a period of governance to truly control Runan.

    Jiang Ji is Cao Cao's confidant and has extraordinary abilities. He is more than enough to govern Runan.

    Jiang Ji also knew his mission. He nodded and agreed.

    After Cao Cao stayed in Runan for a few days and handed over everything to Jiang Ji, he led his team back to Xudu.

    As soon as he returned to Xudu, before he could rest, Cao Cao received news that Liu Bei had taken his people to Liu Biao, and Liu Biao appointed him as the governor of Xinye.

    When Cao Cao heard this, he was shocked. Liu Bei must have been so lucky. At the same time, he cursed Liu Biao in his heart. He was so stupid that he dared to accept Liu Bei.

    Xinye is only two hundred miles away from Wancheng. Although it is only a small city and cannot be compared with Wancheng, Cao Cao is still worried.  The impression Liu Bei left in Runan was so profound that Cao Cao couldn't sleep well at night.

    So, the next day, Cao Cao entered the palace as soon as possible and asked Emperor Xian to issue two imperial edicts. One was to commend Cao Cao for his contribution to pacifying Runan, and the other was to say that Liu Bei had colluded with Yuan Shu, and it was Liu Bei who instigated Yuan Shu to proclaim himself emperor.  Liu Bei was branded a traitor.

    These two imperial edicts allowed Cao Cao to restore a lot of reputation, and discredited Liu Bei, who made Liu Bei curse Cao Cao day and night in Xinye.

    After doing this, Cao Cao wanted to mobilize all his troops to deal with Liu Bei, and then if it was not going smoothly, he would also deal with Liu Biao along the way.

    However, he was persuaded by his subordinates.

    Cheng Yu advised: "My lord, you must not do it. The north is not at peace, and Liu Biao is very powerful. If the stalemate fails, Liu Zhe or Gongsun Zan will attack, and disaster will be imminent."

    Man Chong also said: "My lord, Yuan Shu has not been settled yet, so you should not easily start a dispute with others."

    After hearing what they said, Cao Cao calmed down. He positioned Liu Bei as a traitor, colluded with Yuan Shu, and beat Liu Bei. If he didn't fight Yuan Shu, it would be easy for the world to criticize him.  What's more, if you run to fight Liu Bei, it will be bad if you confront Liu Biao who is behind Liu Bei.

    Liu Biao is not Liu Bei. He is much stronger than Liu Bei and stronger than Cao Cao.  A fight between two people cannot be completed in a day or two.  If the rear becomes empty and his hometown is taken away, he and Liu Bei will become brothers in trouble.

    Cao Cao fell silent and thought carefully about his subordinate's words.

    Cheng Yu took the opportunity and said: "My lord, although Liu Bei has become the governor of Xinye, Liu Biao has no good intentions. He is using Liu Bei as a shield to guard against us."

    "Xinye City is small and has insufficient population and materials. Even with Liu Bei's ability, it is impossible to quickly recover. If we attack Liu Bei, we may ask Liu Biao to support Liu Bei and allow Liu Bei to recover quickly. If we show that we have no intention of going south, Liu Bei will  Then you will not get Liu Biao's support, but you may be jealous of Liu Biao. After all, Liu Bei has many civilized men and cannot be underestimated. My lord, why don't you let them fight with each other and take advantage of the opportunity in the future?"

    Cheng Yu's words made Cao Cao calmer. His eyes kept flashing as he kept thinking.

    Liu Bei was stationed in Xinye, but he was obviously used as a spearman by Liu Biao, who was asked to defend Cao Cao and stationed on the front line.

    As Cheng Yu said, Liu Bei has no foundation in Xinye. The resources in Xinye prevent Liu Bei from quickly recovering his strength and cannot reach the strength he had in Runan.

    If Cao Cao attacks, Liu Biao will definitely unite with Liu Bei, and then Cao Cao will have no chance of winning against the two.  If Cao Cao does not attack, Liu Biao will definitely worry about Liu Bei and will not help Liu Bei wholeheartedly. At that time, Cao Cao will only need to bribe the people around Liu Biao and lobby Liu Biao, which will definitely cause a dispute between Liu Biao and Liu Bei. When the time comes, the two of them will  If there is a fight, one will be injured. Even the victorious party will be greatly weakened, and the pressure on Cao Cao will be greatly reduced if he goes south.

    "If it weren't for you, I would have almost missed something important." Cao Cao sighed. This already showed that he had thought clearly and accepted the opinions of his subordinates.

    The calmed down Cao Cao was undoubtedly an excellent leader. He quickly accepted the opinions of his subordinates and turned his attention back to himself.

    Cao Cao asked: "Gongsun??What are you doing now?  "

    After Yuan Shu became emperor, Liu Bei was the first to attack Yuan Shu, Cao Cao was the second, and Gongsun Zan was the slowest, but he also sent troops.

    "Retreating."

    Cheng Yu, who had already grasped Gongsun Zan's movements, replied: "After Liu Bei was defeated by us, Gongsun Zan immediately withdrew his troops from Shouchun and deployed heavy troops in the Xiaopei Pengcheng area to prevent surprise attacks."

    Indeed, Gongsun Zan was frightened by Cao Cao's amazing move.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
