Chapter 39 Retreat
There was a big chaos in Xuchang. Just last night, Anmen Captain Xu Huang colluded with General Dong Cheng, the cavalry, to open the palace gate at night, trying to kidnap the emperor from Xuchang.
Xun Yu was in charge of Xuchang and naturally noticed Dong Cheng and others. However, although Dong Cheng and others were arrested, the emperor and Anmen Captain Xu Huang were missing in the chaos. Now Xuchang is sending people to search everywhere.
The emperor... lost!
Cao Cao, who received the news, felt dizzy in his head. He never expected that such a result would be. The Battle of Xuzhou was stuck in the last joint. At this time, the ace in his hand was taken away. Even Cao Cao had some blood and blood to attack his heart.
"No, Dong Cheng and others were planning secretly. We had expected it to be possible for them to rob His Majesty of the Majesty alone!" Cheng Yu frowned.
Cao Cao sat in the position of commander and didn't speak. Cao Cao knew what Dong Cheng had. He never caught them out because Dong Cheng and others did not cause much harm to Cao Cao. Keeping them can still bring those who are ill-behaved together. When they really want to take action, they can catch them all in one go.
Now it seems that it is a bit too much.
"Why did Xu Huang rebel?" Guo Jia held the wine cup and suddenly asked a very critical question. In this incident, a name that shouldn't have appeared.
Xu Huang was originally a general under Yang Feng's tent. Later, Yang Feng surrendered to Cao Cao and rebelled again. He was defeated by Cao Cao. Xu Huang surrendered to Cao Cao at that time. Since then, he has followed Cao Cao to fight south and north. He was originally prepared to come with him to attack Xuzhou, but because of his injury, he stayed in Xuchang to recuperate. In general, Xu Huang is still highly valued by Cao Cao. He is also loyal to Cao Cao on weekdays. How could such a person suddenly rebel?
"There must be a reason here, but now it is not the time to pursue this matter." Cao Cao sighed. Xu Huang was trained as a future generation. Now Xu Huang is on the list of rebels. If you want to say it is uncomfortable, I am afraid that Cao Cao is the most uncomfortable here. But no matter how uncomfortable it is, the most important thing now is not to deal with Xu Huang's problem.
When everyone heard this, they suddenly realized that Xu Huang's betrayal was just one part, but compared with the disappearance of the emperor, it was a bit insignificant. If the emperor disappeared, Xuchang would inevitably be in chaos, especially those who defected to him because of the emperor's reputation. They were already quite dissatisfied with Cao Cao's autocracy. If Zi disappeared today, these people would definitely make trouble.
Whether it is to rob the emperor or stabilize Xuchang, Xuzhou cannot continue to stay. Cao Cao must return to Xuchang to take charge of the overall situation.
"Transfer our military orders and pack up immediately. Make meals at the third day of tomorrow, and rush back to Xuchang as soon as possible." Cao Cao took a deep breath and said in a deep voice. This time, he did not ask Wei Hu what he meant, but directly ordered that Wei Hu could not help this time.
Wei Hu opened his mouth and finally chose Chen Mo helplessly. As a god, he could do many things that mortals could not do, but he could not control the human heart. For example, today's situation is chaotic. Even if he is too far away, it is impossible to find the position of the emperor. Cao Cao's decision cannot be stopped, but in this way, Lu Bu's fate will be completely changed and he will jump out of the original cage. After today, if no one interferes, no one will be sure of Lu Bu's future destiny.
"If Cao Gong leaves, who can do this Lu Bu? " Chen Gui frowned.
It was something that Lu Bu could have a way out under such circumstances that neither he nor Chen Deng expected. Now that there was such a change in Xuchang, Cao Cao was going to withdraw his troops. It was completely understandable that the Chen father and son of the Chen family were able to understand, but what should they do when Cao Cao left?
This time, the Cao-Lu War, they completely offended Lu Bu. Without the support of Cao's army, the Chen family could only retreat to Guangling and deal with Lu Bu, but no one would have confidence in whether they could block Lu Bu's counterattack.
After hearing this, Cao Cao was silent for a moment, he looked at Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei who were sitting in the guest room, and suddenly said with a smile: "Xuande, can you stay in Xuzhou and help Han Yu check and balance the Lu Bu?"
Why did Liu Bei abandon Gongsun Zan to Xuchang and compete with each other? One reason was that Kong Rong recommended it to the court, and the other reason was that Liu Bei also wanted to come to Xuchang to obtain the recognition of the Han clan relatives, but Cao Cao never gave it to Liu Bei. Liu Bei was an ambitious master. Without the official recognition of the court before, people could acknowledge him as a Han clan relative. If the court admitted this time, Liu Bei's reputation would be greater. By then, as long as Liu Bei gained a foothold and cooperated with his two brothers' abilities, it would be difficult to limit Liu Bei.
Now that Xuchang is in chaos, if Liu Bei takes it back, it may only increase the variables. It is better to leave Liu Bei here and cooperate with the Chen family's father and son to suppress Lu Bu. Although Lu Bu is strong, this battle will suffer heavy losses. If you want to recover, it will take some time. With the Chen family's father and son and Liu Bei brothers, at least this time can be extended. Although it is possible to release such an uncertain factor as Liu Bei,... Cao Cao is more worried about Yuan Shao taking advantage of the situation to go south.
Compared with Yuan Shao, who is now dominating the four prefectures, whether it is Lu Bu or Liu Bei, it seems a bit insignificant.
"Mr. Cao has this intention, so Bei dare not refuse!" Liu Bei bowed slowly, with no joy or sorrow on his face, as if this matter had nothing to do with him.
"With Xuande's help, Han Yu Gong can rest assured that he cannot defeat Lu Bu. With the ability of Xuande's two righteous brothers, he can also protect Chen's family from defeat." Cao Cao looked at Chen Gui and smiled.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you, Xuande you." Chen Gui thanked Cao Cao, and then bowed to Liu Bei again. Now this may be the best ending. He could not let Cao Cao stay and help him regardless of Xuchang. However, Lu Bu was unable to be destroyed in one battle. He originally wanted to take this opportunity to make the Chen family go further, but now it seems that he has failed.
"Go and prepare!" After Cao Cao arranged the Xuzhou incident, he looked at the generals and said, "The battle in Xuzhou can no longer continue until now, and Cao Cao was somewhat depressed."
"The last general will receive the order!" The generals agreed and each stood up and left.
Wei Hu thought about it and bowed to Cao Cao, "Cao Sikong, Lu Bu's fate has changed, but I still stayed in Xuzhou this time to help the Chen family with help to see if they can adapt to the destiny and change the fate of Lu Bu."
"If there is a fairy who can help you, Xuzhou will be free of worries!" Chen Gui was overjoyed when he heard this and worshiped Wei Hu.
Cao Cao frowned. He still hasn't figured out what the so-called fate of days is? There are always victories and losses in wars. This time, Lu Bu turned the situation around with his own ability. Why did Wei Hu stare at Lu Bu and insist on killing him?
I really don't understand the rules of the gods, but since Wei Hu spoke, Cao Cao had no reason to stop him. He nodded immediately and agreed to this matter.
Chapter completed!
