Becoming stronger from cutting Hu and Cao Cao

Chapter 18 A Difficult Task

The next day, at dawn, Cao Ang ordered his troops to retreat to Xue County to garrison, while he took Cao Pi out of the camp.

Just as Cao Jun withdrew from Xuzhou, a system prompt sounded in Li Chen's mind.

[Cao Jun withdrew from the Xuzhou area, congratulations to the host for completing the first phase of the anti-Cao mission. 】

[Mission Rating: SS. 】

[Mission Reward: Diamond Grade Blind Box. 】

"Good guy!" Hearing the diamond-level blind box, Li Chen immediately became a good guy.

The Platinum-level blind box has released big killers like Li Siye and Mo Daobing. What does this diamond-level blind box have to offer?
Without hesitation, Li Chen directly said in his mind: "Open the blind box."

[Open the diamond blind box. 】

[Diamond level character: Yuwen Chengdu. 】

[Diamond level character: Liu Bowen. 】

"Happiness comes too fast, like a tornado?" Li Chen was ecstatic in his heart, wishing he could jump up.

Yuwen Chengdu, General Tianbao, the second hero in the Sui and Tang Dynasties.During the entire Sui and Tang Dynasties, the force was second only to Li Yuanba, the second idiot.

Although Yuwen Chengdu is more powerful than Li Yuanba, if Li Chen had to choose between the two, then there is no doubt that Li Chen would choose Yuwen Chengdu.

Because this is a war, not an arena.Although Li Yuanba is powerful, he is an idiot.When it comes to the battlefield, it is completely a double-edged sword to fight indiscriminately.

Yu Wencheng is really powerful, the phoenix wing in his hand weighs a full four hundred catties.And he is not only strong in martial arts, but also born with supernatural power.Yuwen Chengdu is able to lift a copper tripod weighing [-] jin, which is evident in its divine power.

"I don't know if Yu Wencheng can play tricks with Lu Bu." Li Chen thought in his heart.

If Yuwen Chengdu brought Li Chen a surprise, then Liu Bowen brought an even bigger surprise.It is true that Li Chen is short of generals, but at least he still has Li Siye, Guan Sheng, and Zang Ba, but Chen Deng is the only adviser.

Although Chen Deng is not bad, he is still much worse than Guo Jia, Jia Xu, Zhuge Liang and others.However, Liu Bowen's arrival directly made up for Li Chen's lack of counselors.

There is a saying in later generations that Zhuge Liang divides the world into three, and Liu Bowen dominates the country.There is no doubt that Liu Bowen must be a counselor who is not inferior to Zhuge Liang.

For Cao Cao's Guo Jia and Guo Fengxiao, Li Chen has always been jealous.But now with Liu Bowen, the fear in Li Chen's heart is much less.

"report"

"My lord, there are two people, Wen and Wu, coming to seek refuge outside the mansion." Just as Li Chen was in a daze, a guard reported.

"Quick, let them in." Li Chen hurriedly ordered.

As soon as I opened the blind box, Yuwen Chengdu and Liu Bowen arrived.Not to mention that they came soon, they still arrived together with one article and one military.Sure enough, for a mature system, bundling sales is a compulsory homework.

After seven days.

The news that hailstorms have broken Cao's army has spread in Xuzhou City.Xuzhou, which was originally in a state of panic, has become surprisingly stable, and the morale of the army has also gathered a lot.

In this era, what is the fastest way to win people's hearts?There is no doubt that it is engaging in feudal superstition.

No wonder people in ancient times always found some excuses for rebellion. For example, Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, rebelled against the White Snake and claimed to be the son of the Red Emperor.Another example is what happened later, Mo Daoshi's one-eyed man provoked rebellion in the Yellow River.

Speaking of Cao Jun, Cao Pi was seriously injured again due to the successive defeats of the vanguard army.Cao Ang didn't dare to attack again, so he ordered the army to withdraw and station in Xue County, Yanzhou, and he took Cao Pi, who was unconscious, to Xudu to report the battle situation to his father Cao Cao.

Xudu is also the Xuchang of later generations. Now Yanzhou is the base camp of Cao Cao, and Xudu, the largest city in Yanzhou, naturally became the place where Cao Cao rose up.

In the previous life, after Cao Cao completely defeated Yuan Shao, he moved the government from Xudu to Yecheng, and now Yecheng is Yuan Shao's headquarters.

Xuzhou, Yunlong Hall.

"My lord, Lu Bu's greeting card." Chen Deng handed a greeting card to Li Chen, and said softly.

Li Chen glanced at the greeting post. From the greeting post, it can be seen that Lu Bu has been chased to nowhere by Cao Cao at this time. He heard that Li Chen occupied Xuzhou and defeated Cao Cao's vanguard twice.The meaning in Lu Bu's post was to let Li Chen give him a foothold in Xuzhou, and then the two would merge to fight against Cao.

"It seems that Cao Cao has already taken back Puyang, and our next target is us." Li Chen pondered.

"My lord, I think it's better to give Xiaopei to Lu Bu." Chen Deng cupped his hands and said.

"Bowen, what do you think?" Li Chen turned to look at Liu Bowen and asked.

"Xiao Pei's position is special. Once Cao's army strikes, Xiao Pei will definitely face Cao's army. It doesn't matter where Lu Bu is stationed." Liu Bowen said after pondering for a moment.

Xiaopei, also known as Peiguo.In fact, this place does not belong to the six counties of Xuzhou, but belongs to Yuzhou.However, Xiaopei belongs to an enclave in Yuzhou, which is far away from Yuzhou. On the contrary, it is only about [-] miles away from Xuzhou, so Xuzhou has always been managed.

When Xuzhou and Yanzhou were handed over, Xiaopei and Xiaopei were like a knife, piercing straight into Yanzhou.Therefore, once Cao Cao's army attacks aggressively, they must first take Xiaopei before they can take Xuzhou.If this is not the case, then Xiaopei can cut off Cao Jun's food road at any time.

Both Chen Deng and Liu Bowen felt that Xiaopei could be handed over to Lv Bu. Firstly, it would allow Lv Bu to share the pressure on Xuzhou, and secondly, because although Li Chen occupied Xuzhou, in fact all the troops gathered in Xuzhou City to resist Cao's army.The control over the six counties of Xuzhou is only in name, not to mention Xiaopei.

Therefore, giving Xiaopei to Lu Bu is completely generous to others.

Although both Chen Deng and Liu Bowen suggested this, Li Chen actually hesitated.The key is that he knows the history of his previous life.

Lu Bu is a rebellious boy. In his previous life, Liu Bei gave Xiaopei to Lu Bu. Who knew that Lu Bu attacked Xuzhou while Liu Bei was fighting Cao Cao, and then let Liu Bei guard Xiaopei.

After thinking about it, Li Chen felt that he still couldn't take the risk.If you can only fight against Cao Cao, it will be troublesome to be stabbed by Lu Bu, a rebellious boy.I would rather resist Cao Jun alone than Lu Bu, a pig teammate.

Ding Yuan, the incident of Dong Zhuo is still vivid in his mind, and the lesson of blood is right in front of him, so he has to improve his memory.Li Chen felt that it was still necessary to send troops to expel Lu Bu.

Just when Li Chen was about to make a decision.

[System task: Make a skin-to-skin date with Diao Chan. 】

Li Chen: "???"

"That's not good, Diao Chan could have married Lu Bu a long time ago. This is a serious wife, and this task is a dilemma."

"If I do this task, wouldn't it make me look like an LSP." Li Chen thought to himself.

While thinking about it, Li Chen said: "Hey, Lu Bu and I fought against Cao's army together. We are both fallen people in the world. If Lu Bu is in trouble, how can I not help him?"

"According to what the two military advisers said, Bowen, you stay in Xuzhou to take charge of the overall situation. Yuanlong, you follow me to Xiaopei to meet Lu Bu."
