Chapter 455
In a blink of an eye, more than two years later, Liu Bei was looking forward to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's return, but there was no news at all.

Without Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's right-hand men, Liu Bei became more cautious, not daring to show his thoughts.I am afraid that I will become the soul of Fang Wen's sword.

Even, Liu Bei has always had a hope in his heart.Guan Yu and Zhang Fei did not die.

In Liu Bei's view, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are the kind of peerless generals, heroes of the time.Even death cannot be unknown.But for so many years, he never got any news from the two of them.

It seems to Liu Bei that no news is the best news, which means that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei must still be alive.One day they will meet again.

Soon it will be June of this year.Cao Cao's father passed through Xuzhou and was killed by Tao Qian's men.The news that Cao Cao used the excuse of his father's death to attack Xuzhou spread to Luoyang City.

So Liu Bei said above the court, "I told the prime minister that Cao Cao had no way, and wanted to use the name of his father's death to take the opportunity to attack Xuzhou. Tao Qian's father and son are benevolent and moral, Xuzhou should not suffer from this military disaster. Liu Bei wants to lead five thousand elite soldiers Help Xuzhou, and return Xuzhou to peace."

Liu Bei is now eager to leave Luoyang City as soon as possible.He no longer cared about being able to confirm whether he was a clan member of the Han family.Only when he leaves here can he truly develop and grow.When he grows stronger, who would dare to say that he is not a member of the Han clan?
However, Fang Wen said, "What does Cao Cao's attack on Xuzhou have to do with me? Let him fight."

"Prime Minister, the people of Xuzhou led by Tao Qian are also the people of the big man! We are in the imperial court, don't we care about these people?" Liu Bei argued.

But I heard Fang Wen say, "According to Lieutenant Liu, the soldiers under Cao Cao's command are also the people of the big man. Since Cao Cao and Tao Qian's soldiers are all the people of the big man, why should I help Tao Qian to fight Cao Cao?" It's like when kids fight, it's no good for parents to help anyone, just let them fight."

Fang Wen didn't care about what happened outside.Now is not the time for him to attack the city.Only when he got Liu Xie's clothes and belt edict, would he start to conquer those princes.

Liu Bei was helpless, he found that he really couldn't speak to Fang Wen.At the same time, he also understood that Fang Wen would not let him leave Luoyang City so easily.

It is said that Cao Cao today is much weaker than in the original play.In the original play, Cao Cao occupied Chenliu, Yanzhou and Qingzhou at this time.

But now that Chenliu is occupied by Fang Wen, Cao Cao took Yanzhou with great difficulty in the past few years.It can be said that Cao Cao's military strength today is not much stronger than Tao Qian in Xuzhou.If it weren't for Lv Bu being in Cao Cao's army, Cao Cao would not have dared to attack Xuzhou at all.

Furthermore, Cao Cao was most worried about the problem of food and grass.In the original play, Cao Cao was often troubled by food and grass.But now Cao Cao only owns Yanzhou, and food and grass have become Cao Cao's deathbed.

Therefore, in order to capture Xuzhou City as soon as possible, Cao Cao ordered Lu Bu to be the vanguard and led an army of [-] to attack Xuzhou directly.

When Lu Bu learned that Cao Cao asked him to attack Xuzhou City first, he was overjoyed.He has followed Cao Cao for so long and has long been self-reliant.Just never had the chance.Now Cao Cao asked him to lead the army to attack Xuzhou first, which happened to give him this opportunity.

Of course Cao Cao also guarded against Lu Bu.He sent Cao Ren to accompany Lu Bu with the purpose of letting Cao Ren monitor Lu Bu.Moreover, all the officers in the [-] army led by Lu Bu are descendants of the Cao family.Cao Cao believed that with these Cao's children in the army, it would be impossible for Lu Bu to annex his [-] troops.

Lv Bu's bravery was unmatched in the entire Xuzhou city, and with Chen Gong's advice, he captured Xuzhou city in just one day.

Why did Chen Gong follow Lu Bu?It is said that when Cao Cao and Lu Bu left Luoyang City, they would meet Chen Gong.Chen Gong felt Cao Cao's righteousness, so he went to the alliance with Cao Cao.However, in the past few years, Chen Gong has seen through Cao Cao.Then he decided to abandon Cao Cao and assist Lu Bu.

On the night when Lu Bu captured Xuzhou City, Lu Bu held a celebration banquet.At the banquet, all the children of the Cao family gathered together to drink.As a result, they fell unconscious after a while.When they woke up, all of them were arrested by Lu Bu.

Of course, this was a strategy Chen Gong came up with. He put Mongolian sweat medicine in the wine drunk by the Cao's children, and the Cao's children were naturally captured one by one.

Without these Cao's children, the [-] army was quickly annexed by Lu Bu, and with the Xuzhou army he captured, Lu Bu suddenly had an army of [-] to [-], which was already able to compete with Cao Cao.

When Cao Cao came to the city of Xuzhou and saw Lu Bu on the tower, he had no choice but to call out to Lu Bu, but he had nothing to do with him.

It was also Cao Cao's bad luck. Lv Bu embezzled Cao Cao's [-] troops to monopolize Xuzhou, making it impossible for Cao Cao to capture Xuzhou City.So he can only return to Yanzhou.

However, on the way Cao Cao turned back to Yanzhou, there was news that Zhang Miao had rebelled and dedicated Yanzhou to Yuan Shao.

When Cao Cao heard the news, he was so angry that he spat out a mouthful of blood.

He, Cao Cao, was originally sitting in Yanzhou, with an army of [-].Originally, he wanted to capture Xuzhou, and since then he has occupied the land of two states.But I didn't expect that not only did Xuzhou not get it, but even his base Yanzhou was lost in a blink of an eye.

He, Cao Cao, has nothing but the [-] troops he brought with him.

Of course, Cao Cao originally had only [-] cavalry under his command. He was able to occupy Yanzhou with [-] cavalry and develop an army of [-], which shows Cao Cao's ability.

But now the situation is different from Cao Cao's original four thousand army.

Although Cao Cao had only [-] soldiers at the beginning, the world had just fallen apart at that time, and the states and counties in the world were still scattered in the hands of various princes.Cao Cao captured Yanzhou easily, and occupied Yanzhou to develop and grow.

Now after three years of development, the princes have either grown stronger or been annexed by others.This made the princes of the world several times stronger than before.

Although Cao Cao has an army of [-] at this moment, it is not so easy to occupy the city and become king if he wants to conquer the city.

Now that Cao Cao is between Yanzhou, Xuzhou, and Chenliu, it is impossible for his [-] troops to capture any city.It can be said that Cao Cao is now in a desperate situation.

During the settlement, Cao Cao put on a towel and asked Ji Yu Xun Yu, "Xun Yu, now I, Cao Cao, are in a desperate situation, do you have a good plan to help me tide over the difficulties?"

Xun Yu looked at Cao Cao lying there and said, "It's Xun Yu's fault that my lord is in a desperate situation. Xun Yu shouldn't have persuaded my lord to attack Xuzhou."

"Xun Yu, it's not your fault, and you didn't expect Lu Bu and Zhang Miao to betray me at the same time." Cao Cao grabbed Xun Yu's hand and said, "Xun Yu, now is not the time to pursue anyone's fault. Let me Cao Cao It is imperative to get out of the desperate situation with these [-] soldiers! Cao Cao's life and death depend entirely on you, Xun Yu!"
