Three Kingdoms: I, the eldest son of Cao, a loving father of a great man!

Chapter 738 I don’t know something
"Report, Your Majesty, Xiahou Dun has withdrawn his troops and returned to Yecheng."

Liu Xie was reviewing the memorials when he suddenly heard the report from his attendants, with a look of surprise on his face.

"Oh? Xiahou Dun retreated?"

Liu Xie put down his pen and ink and murmured: "I underestimated the Xiahou brothers, but I didn't expect them to be able to hold back their temper.

If that's the case, don't blame me for being ruthless! "

He stood up and said, "Deliver the order and order Uncle Liu Huang to go to Luoyang to discuss matters."

"Here!"

Half a day later, Liu Bei appeared in the Luoyang Palace.

Liu Xie laughed at the side and said, "Didn't you expect that Cao Ang would retreat?"

"No."

Liu Bei smiled and said: "I thought Cao Ang would resolutely defend the south bank of the Yellow River, but I didn't expect that he would take the initiative to withdraw.

Perhaps he felt that he could not stop His Majesty from going south, so it was not a bad idea to simply stay away from the enemy for the time being. "

When Liu Xie heard this, he nodded repeatedly and said, "Your words are very kind.

If the traitor Cao persists in his obsession, I will destroy him. It's just that I don't understand why the other party still insists on staying on the south bank of the Yellow River even though he knows that he is going to fail? "

"This is it.

I guess it was the attitude of the Xiahou brothers that affected Cao Ang's judgment.

Your Majesty, may you remember that when I suggested that your Majesty move the capital, I reminded your Majesty that Cao Ang would most likely contact Yuan Shao to jointly attack your Majesty.

And Yuan Shao also promised to intercept His Majesty on his way south, putting His Majesty in a desperate situation, so I made this speculation. "

"Oh?"

Liu Xie raised his eyebrows lightly, thought for a long time, and suddenly showed a look of enlightenment.

"If that's the case, it's no wonder."

"No matter what, the crisis is finally over."

"Haha, if Cao Ang really dares to stop me from going south, I will kill him without mercy."

After Liu Xie finished speaking, he showed hesitation, "It's just that if Cao Ang really refuses to retreat as you said, what method will he use to fight me?"

Liu Bei smiled lightly, "If Liu Xie really dares to fight to the death with His Majesty, he is not worthy of being called a hero."

He bowed slightly respectfully and said, "I would like to lead the elite troops to the expedition."

"Ok?"

Liu Xie was taken aback, and immediately showed joy and said hurriedly: "Are you willing to serve me?"

"Of course, but now is not the time. We have to wait for the best fighter plane to appear. I hope His Majesty will give you permission."

After hearing this, Liu Xie felt a little disappointed.

After hesitating for a long time, he finally nodded gently, "However, I have something else that I need you to take care of."

"I listen to the holy teachings."

"Go to Yingchuan quickly and tell Sikong Wang Yun."

Liu Xie whispered to Liu Bei, "I want to go north to Qingzhou, and I hope Wang Situ can help me. If I can put down the rebellion, the court will definitely give me a generous reward."

After the rebellion is suppressed, I will host another banquet in honor of Wang Situ. "

"The minister obeys the order!"

Liu Bei took the order and left.

When Liu Bei left, Liu Xie sighed again for a long time.

Although Liu Bei has been very active recently, Liu Xie does not dare to trust anyone easily, especially Dong Zhuo, which makes him even more afraid.

Therefore, Liu Xie had no choice but to trust Wang Yun.

Wang Yun was loyal to Liu Xie and would never betray him.

Liu Xie's eyes rolled around twice, and suddenly he showed excitement.

"Somebody come!"

"His Majesty?"

Zhang Liao heard the shout and quickly entered the palace.

He raised his hands and saluted, "Your Majesty, what do you want from the general?" Liu Xie smiled and said, "Sir, I just thought of a good errand and wanted to entrust it to you."

"What a good job?"

A sneer appeared at the corner of Liu Xie's lips, "Fengxian, have you ever heard that the Seventh Army was flooded?"

Zhang Liao was stunned for a moment, then shook his head.

When Liu Xie saw this, he secretly thought it was useless, but continued patiently.

"I want to capture Yanzhou, but Yanzhou has many soldiers and generals, and there are many mountains and forests in Yanzhou's counties.

I want to flood Yanzhou, this is the only way.

You led three thousand cavalry across the river and attacked the city along the river. After you capture Yanzhou, I can take advantage of the situation and move south, march eastward and seize Xuzhou. "

Zhang Liao grinned and said, "Your Majesty, I will make arrangements right away to cross the river early tomorrow morning."

After he finished speaking, he ran away happily.

When Liu Xie saw him leaving, a solemn expression appeared on his face.

He stared at the dark night outside the window and said to himself: "If I succeed, I will be a hero of all ages. If I fail, I will be infamy for thousands of years."

Cao Ang on the other side was very leisurely. At this time, he was walking on the bustling streets, enjoying the cool breeze at night.

"Young Master, why do you give up today?"

Next to Cao Ang, a burly man with a stubble on his face couldn't help complaining: "The prime minister's army is not far from here. As long as we resist desperately, we might be able to kill a few more rounds.

Withdrawing troops now would mean all the previous efforts have been wasted? "

Cao Ang smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, Lord Zhongde. Your Majesty has sent an envoy to persuade me to retreat. If I refuse, I'm afraid I will be charged with treason."

Rather than staying here and going against His Majesty, it is better to withdraw our troops quickly and preserve our strength. "

The bearded man suddenly showed an expression of admiration, cupped his hands and said, "Great! The young master is indeed far-sighted, and my subordinates admire him!"

After he finished speaking, he asked: "Then when will we launch a counterattack?"

Cao Ang smiled and said: "Let's see, the morale of the Prime Minister's subordinates is very low, I'm afraid it will take several days to recover.

We are taking advantage of this time to train our troops.

If we encounter enemy troops, we will beat them hard to boost their morale. "

When the bearded man heard this, he immediately showed a look of relief, "Young Master is worthy of being both civil and military, wise and brave!"

Cao Ang waved his hand, "Stop flattering us and hurry up and supervise the soldiers to drill."

"Here!"

After the stubble-bearded man left, Cao Ang raised his head and looked at the sky with deep eyes.

He murmured to himself: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, since you have been moved, why don't you believe me?

I am loyal to you, and I have never done anything to regret you..."

He sighed softly, seemingly infinitely melancholy.

Cao Ang stood for a moment and suddenly smiled again: "No matter what, I will definitely win this time."

After that, he walked towards home without noticing that there was an alley behind him.

At the corner, a carriage was parked.

There was an old man sitting in the car, it was Chen Deng.

Chen Deng opened the curtains and looked at Cao Ang's retreating back, with an indifferent expression on his lips.

He turned to the guard on the side and said: "Send the order and act according to the plan. The news must be delivered to Yecheng."

"promise!"

Chen Deng lowered the curtains, closed his eyes, and calmed down.

After his guards walked out of the alley, they did not return to the mansion, but went straight to the Yanzhou Governor's Mansion.

Wang Kuang, the governor of Yanzhou, was Cao Cao's old subordinate and Wang Yun's nephew.

After Cao Cao occupied Yanzhou, he promoted Wang Kuang to governor.

Wang Kuang was originally powerful, but under Yuan Shao's suppression, he gradually became weaker and weaker, and even Yanzhou could not maintain it.
