    Just when Xiao Yi was planning to attack Ji Ling's camp overnight and capture all the cities in the six counties of Yuzhou in one fell swoop, an urgent military situation disrupted his plan, "Hujiu-L¨¹ Bu raided the counties of Yanzhou!"

    "Lu Bu, you damn guy!"

    At the same time, Cao Cao, who was fighting fiercely under Xuzhou City, also received the same military report. Yanzhou was their home base. Once it was lost, tens of thousands of troops would become homeless stragglers. In desperation, Cao Cao had to stand aside.  While planning the retreat, he continued to rush to find out the news about Lu Bu!

    It turns out that after Lu Bu was driven out of Chang'an by Li Jue, Guo Si and others, he fled back to his hometown in Jiuyuan County with the remaining defeated soldiers. While recovering from the wounds of the war, he used his prestige in his hometown to recruit warriors and expand his strength!

    Zhang Yang, the governor of Bingzhou, saw his strength plummet after Xiao Yi led his troops away. He could only turn a blind eye to Lu Bu's recuperation on his own territory. In this way, after more than a year of training, Lu Bu  Not only has his strength been fully restored, but his military power is even greater than before!

    At this time, Mi Zhu sent his friend Chen Gong to Jiuyuan County to persuade Lu Bu to go south to attack Yanzhou, raid Cao Cao's home base, and casually relieve the siege of Xuzhou. It happened that Lu Bu and a group of subordinates also wanted to leave Bingzhou, a bitter and cold place, and go to the Central Plains.  The two coincided with each other, but before leaving, Lu Bu extorted a lot of soldiers, horses, money and food from Zhang Yang, and then he went all the way south and attacked Yanzhou!

    Cao Cao, Xiao Yi and others all led troops to fight abroad, and Yanzhou was empty. As a result, Lu Bu's army defeated Chenliu, Rencheng and other places. The troops were directed towards Jibei County, where the "Zhengdong General" shogunate was located. The situation was extremely critical. Only then  With that urgent military report for help!

    In order not to shake the military morale of his subordinates, Cao Cao strictly blocked the military report. He secretly summoned Guo Jia, Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan and other confidants in his back tent to discuss countermeasures.

    "Lord, return to the army immediately for rescue. Once Yanzhou is lost, we will be homeless!" Cao Ren looked anxious. Most of their family members were in Jibei City. If Lu Bu took over, everyone would be in trouble.  My wife and children are all in ruins!

    "It's certain to return for rescue, but we can't mess up our position!" Cao Cao still maintains his composure as a commander. Now he is inextricably linked with the Xuzhou side. It may not be that easy to retreat at this time.  !

    Everyone in command of the army knows that when an army retreats, it is most afraid of being followed and chased. In that case, the retreat will turn into a retreat, and then it will turn into a rout. By then, the morale of the army will be in chaos, and it will be completely defeated!

    If it were just old Tao Qian, Cao Cao wouldn't be worried, but the person who is really in charge in Xuzhou now is Liu Bei. With his ambition, he will definitely mobilize an army to chase them all the way, and will never stop until they are driven out and killed

    "The general is incompetent, and I am willing to lead my troops to judge the queen for the Lord!" At the critical moment, Cao Hong took the initiative to ask for help. He wanted to use the method of cutting off the tail of a gecko to sacrifice himself and save the army from returning!

    "We are all willing to fight to the death for our lord!" The other generals also asked for help!

    "Okay, everyone is Cao's loyal ministers and good generals!" Cao Cao couldn't help but feel warm in his heart. With so many loyal ministers assisting him, even if Yanzhou was lost, he would still have the confidence to take it back. Compared with the city, people's hearts are the first.  bit.

    "Generals, you don't have to be like this. I have a plan. Not only can I escape unscathed, but I might even get some benefits back!" Guo Jia still kept drinking, as if he had countless tips and tricks in his wine gourd.

    "If you have any clever ideas for Fengxiao, please tell me quickly!"

    "Tomorrow, the entire army will attack Xuzhou City. The harder the attack, the better!"

    "Ah! Aren't we going to withdraw our troops? How can we still"

    "Yes, it is precisely because we have to withdraw our troops that we have to attack Xuzhou fiercely. This is called playing hard to get. If we fight hard, we can bargain with Tao Qian!" Guo Jia smiled and touched his nose. This was his habit.  He still learned it from Xiao Yi, except that when he touched his nose, he was thinking of a plot, while when Xiao Yi touched his nose, he meant to kill someone!

    "Play hard to get?Okay!"

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­  ¡­¡­¡­¡­

    Early the next morning, Cao Cao's 60,000-strong army came out. Under the leadership of the generals, they took turns to launch a crazy attack on Xuzhou City. They filled the trenches with blood and flesh and faced the difficulties. Cao Cao took his two sons and  The sword in hand was on the front line, not avoiding the rain of arrows, and commanding his men to attack the city bravely!

    The general will have the heart to die, and the scholar will not be greedy for life!

    ??Inspired by the Cao family's father and son, all the soldiers, big and small, risked their lives and attacked the city bravely. One after another they fell down, and another one rushed up, fighting to the death. Although they still failed to break through the city wall in the end,  That kind of crazy energy frightened the Xuzhou defenders, especially Tao Qian, the governor. The old man was old and not in good health. He was always on tenterhooks during this period. After this fright, the result was  He couldn't afford to be ill, which made the civil and military officials in Xuzhou panic!

    Just when everyone was at a loss, a letter written by Cao Cao came in from outside the city, saying that life would be in ruins and the two sides could stop fighting and negotiate peace, but there were three conditions.

    First, Xuzhou wants to cede a county¡¯s city land!

    Second, compensate 300,000 dendrobium of corn for military use!

    Third, expel the big-eared Ah Fu, Liu Bei!

    As long as these three things are agreed to, Cao Jun will immediately withdraw his troops and swear a blood oath that from now on the two families will be reconciled and will never raise troops!

    Like a drowning man grabbing a life-saving straw, a group of civil and military officials in Xuzhou immediately started discussing. Even the governor, Tao Qian, attended the meeting despite being seriously ill!

    "The land and cities are the lifeblood of Xuzhou and must not be ceded to others!" Mi Zhu was the first to object at the meeting. Cutting out a county and city was equivalent to driving a nail into Xuzhou. Cao Cao could use it at any time in the future.  This is Pedal's invasion again. As for the promise of "never raising an army", it's just nonsense to deceive children!

    However, Mi Zhu also said that in order to make Cao Jun retreat, he could give more money and food, and no matter how much he gave, the Mi family was willing to bear half of it!

    As one of the three largest chaebols in the world, he doesn¡¯t care about this little money and food!

    Mi Zhu¡¯s speech was unanimously supported by everyone, and they all praised him for his righteousness and wealth. The first two bottom lines were settled, but for the third one, everyone¡¯s eyes turned to Liu Bei!

    "Xuande, what do you think of this matter?" Tao Qian's health was really failing. He was out of breath after saying just a few words. His old face looked ashen. Everyone could tell that this old man was probably  Time is running out!

    "Cao's army has been besieging the city for less than two months. It can be said that it is at its peak, but it suddenly wants to stop and negotiate for peace. There must be something fishy. As the saying goes, a movement is worse than a moment of silence. I think it is better for us to wait and see for a few more days!"

    Liu Bei was very thoughtful. He didn't believe that Cao Cao would suddenly withdraw his troops for no reason. It was just that Xuzhou was besieged like an iron barrel and was cut off from all news from the outside world. He suffered a big loss in this!

    "How many days to wait and see? Cao's army is now on the offensive. Can we hold on for a few more days?"

    "That's right, we can't miss this opportunity. If we don't negotiate for peace now, if we offend Cao Cao, we will never have another chance!"

    "Hmph! Some people may be unwilling to leave Xuzhou, so they are deliberately obstructing the peace talks!"

    The civil and military officials were frightened out of their wits, and they all advocated for an early peace, and they pointed the finger at Liu Bei both internally and externally.

    This is the brilliance of Cao Cao's strategy. He completely trapped Liu Bei. If he objected, people would speculate that he had selfish intentions and intended to control Xuzhou. If he didn't object, haha!  That just happened to be sent out, which meant that there was one less enemy!

    "Quiet!Everyone be quiet!" In the end, it was Tao Qian who slapped the table desperately and used his authority to suppress everyone's comments. However, with his current physical condition, he really didn't want to continue the fight. As long as he could negotiate a peace,  It doesn¡¯t matter even if you suffer a little loss!

    "Xuande is a kind and kind gentleman. He did not hesitate to risk his own life to save Xuzhou. I will never be that ungrateful person!" In the end, Tao Qian made the decision that the city would not be cut off and no one would be given away, but the amount of compensation could be good.  discuss!

    In this way, after several exchanges of letters and formal envoys, the two sides finally reached an agreement in a very short period of time. Xuzhou would not cede the city, but would send fifty-five bushels of corn as a gift to Cao's army when they leave the country.

    As for Liu Bei, Cao Cao doesn¡¯t have the energy to deal with him now!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
