In the study, Cao Cao looked furious.

Seeing Cao Mao come in, he handed over the letter in his hand.

"Mao'er, Liu Bei really has evil intentions, it's thanks to me that I trust him so much!"

Cao Mao took the letter and glanced at it.

Sure enough, Liu Bei made excuses in every possible way in his letters, but he refused to come back.

He smiled lightly,
"Father, the boy has already persuaded you in the past, Liu Bei cannot stay."

Cao Cao took a deep breath and said coldly,

"It's a pity that it's too late to regret it now. Look, do you want to send troops to attack him immediately?"

"No."

Xun Yu shook his head,
"Prime Minister, if you send troops to attack him now, if Yuan Shao responds from the north, it will be troublesome."

Cao Cao frowned.

He knew what Xun Yu said was very reasonable.

If you can't take Liu Bei quickly, you will fall into the unfavorable situation of two-line combat, which will be troublesome!
"The big-eared thief is really hateful!"

Cao Cao hammered down the table bitterly.

"Father still needs to worry? Liu Bei is just a mere Liu Bei. I will go there and help you take it down!"

Cao Mao chuckled lightly.

Cao Cao glanced at him, his brows relaxed slightly, and he said with a smile,

"Mao'er, your kindness is appreciated by my father."

"It's just that the people in your hands are all in Hanoi County."

"And Liu Bei has occupied Xuzhou for half a year. Although it can't be called impenetrable, it is not so easy to win."

When Cao Mao saw this, he stopped insisting and just smiled lightly.

After dealing with the political affairs, Cao Mao did not return to the mansion, but went straight to the barracks.

He called Lu Bu and Zhao Yun to the front, and slowly revealed the relationship between Liu Bei and Dong Cheng.

"I plan to lead my troops to attack Xuzhou."

The two looked at each other.

"My lord, we only have 1000 troops in Xudu. Do you want to mobilize the army from Hanoi?"

Zhao Yun frowned and said,
"But in this case, what if Yuan Shao gets the news and sends someone to attack Hanoi?"

Cao Mao shook his head, "I don't intend to transfer troops from Hanoi."

The two were stunned.

Lu Bu said cautiously, "Could it be that the prime minister will send us troops?"

Cao Mao shook his head again.

"The prime minister didn't know about the attack on Xuzhou this time. There are only 1000 of us."

Hearing this, Lu Bu and Zhao Yun couldn't laugh or cry.

"My lord, 1000 troops want to attack Xuzhou. It's a bit of a dream."

"Yes, although Duke Xuande is weak, he still has Yunchang and Yide under his command."

Cao Mao laughed nonchalantly.

"No one would have thought that I would attack Xuzhou with 1000 troops, but this is precisely our advantage."

"Wars can never be limited to the situation. When I rushed to Xuzhou City for a long distance, did you ever think about it?"

Having been exposed by Cao Mao, Lu Bu looked a little embarrassed.

"We only have 1000 people, so naturally we won't go head-to-head with Liu Bei."

"I will let the factory guard's spies open the way in advance to find out the distribution of troops in Xuzhou, and then avoid them and go straight to Xuzhou City."

"Catch the thief first to capture the king!"

"As long as Liu Bei is taken down, then Xuzhou's power will be self-defeating."

What Cao Mao said made Lu Bu and Zhao Yun's eyes shine.

The two of them have seen with their own eyes that the factory guards are powerful.

When Yuan Shao just dispatched Guo Tu and Wen Chou, the factory guard's spies sent back detailed information.

"If that's the case, it's not impossible."

Zhao Yun stroked his chin and pondered,

"It's just that Xuzhou City is indestructible, how to take it?"

"Yes, my lord, this time is not as simple as last time."

Lu Bu still nodded in agreement.

The reason why Cao Mao was able to take down Xuzhou City so easily last time.

In the final analysis, she relied on Mrs. Yan's identity as the mistress.

But this time it will not be so easy.

"Don't worry, I'm sure of it."

Cao Mao smiled calmly, looking confident.

Seeing this situation, the two of them stopped hesitating and clasped their hands together.
"Everything is under the Lord's arrangement."

"The two of you immediately ordered that the troops pack their bags, prepare dry food, and set off at night."

"Here!"

……

That night.

Cao Mao didn't even say hello, so he took Lu Bu, Zhao Yun and 1000 troops and disappeared from Xudu quietly.

The next day.

Cao Cao was discussing political affairs with Xun Yu, Guo Jia and others.

But seeing that the sun had risen so high, Cao Mao was still nowhere to be seen.

Could it be that the child is sick?

Cao Cao frowned slightly, and ordered to Dianwei,
"Go to Mr. Su Lie's mansion and see what he is doing."

"As ordered!"

Dian Wei walked away quickly.

Cao Cao and others continued their discussion.

An hour later, Dian Wei hurried back.

"My lord, it's not good!"

Cao Cao's heart tightened, and he said hastily,
"What happened to Moer?"

"This subordinate just went to Mr. Su Lie's residence, and the people in his residence said that he didn't return all night last night."

"Then my subordinates went to the barracks again, and the 1000 men and horses of the son disappeared without a trace."

Hearing this, Cao Cao suddenly got up,

"What? Quickly order, let Man Chong search all the way!"

Guo Jia on the side pondered for a moment, then said,

"My lord, don't worry. In my opinion, Mr. Su Lie should have sent troops to Xuzhou."

"Why is this?"

Cao Cao looked at Guo Jia puzzled.

"Yesterday, Mr. Su Lie asked Ying to attack Liu Bei, but was rejected by the lord."

"Presumably he was quite unconvinced in his heart, so he secretly sent troops to Xuzhou."

After listening to Guo Jia's analysis, Cao Cao felt very reasonable.

He sighed involuntarily,
"This child is really impatient!"

"Mr. Su Lie uses his troops like a god, so I don't think there will be any danger."

Xun Yu comforted him.

"I hope so."

Cao Cao looked faintly worried.

After taking Lu Bu, Cao Cao handed over Xuzhou to Liu Bei to take care of.

Now Liu Bei has a total of [-] to [-] troops under his command.

And this time is different from last time.

The last time Cao Cao personally led troops to fight Lv Bu, holding back most of Lv Bu's army.

But this time, Cao Mao could only fight alone.

Thinking of this, Cao Cao became even more nervous.

He commanded,

"Go, tell the two generals, Li Dian and Le Jin, to lead 1 troops each to the boundary of Xuzhou, and take care of Mr. Su Lie depending on the situation."

"Here."

Dian Wei and Xu Chu led the way and left.

Cao Cao looked in the direction of Xuzhou and thought, Maoer, you must come back safely, the father's position is waiting for you to take over!
……

Let's talk about Cao Mao's side.

After he led the troops to leave Xudu, they traveled day and night.

With the help of the powerful intelligence capabilities of the factory guards, they took the sparsely populated roads and avoided Xuzhou's eyes and ears.

Finally, after four days, they successfully arrived in the deep mountains outside Xuzhou City.

Looking at Xuzhou City in the distance, Lu Bu and Zhao Yun couldn't believe it.

They bypassed Xuzhou's defense so easily and came to Liu Bei's base camp.

"Looking at it now, it wasn't wrong to lose to the lord earlier."

Lu Bu couldn't help admiring.
