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

Liu Yu originally thought that after he took power, everything would go smoothly.

Who would have known that not long after the beginning, he would encounter a character like Liu Bei who defied fate, and he would have no choice but to become a supporting role in history.

But now Liu Yu has no good solution. He can only wait and see what happens, hoping for a miracle to happen.

Just when Liu Yu was racking his brains, a black shadow suddenly appeared quietly in the imperial study room.

"Lord! Something important is about to begin!" The man in black knelt on one knee and said.

"Oh!" Liu Yu was stunned, and then realized that the man in black was Zhao Yun's deputy Zhao Zhong.

"Get back on your feet! Tell me what's going on!" Liu Yu said with a smile.

Zhao Zhong stood up and said: "My lord, according to the spies' information, Cao Cao was defeated and has led his remaining soldiers to flee to Qingzhou!"

"Cao Mengde escaped?" Liu Yu said in surprise.

According to common sense, Liu Yu believed that it was impossible for Cao Cao to abandon Yuzhou. How could he suddenly give up and continue the attack?

"That's right, I have received the conclusive news." Zhao Zhong nodded.

Liu Yu suddenly breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good. I'm really afraid that Cao Cao won't leave!"

"My lord, I have something to report to my lord!" Zhao Zhong said hurriedly.

Liu Yu asked: "What happened?"

"My lord, the general has discovered a secret passage in Jizhou, and there is a huge gold mine hidden in it.

The general suspects that it is the legendary gold treasure house! "Zhao Zhong told the story of his discovery of the secret passage.

Liu Yu was overjoyed when she heard this and asked hurriedly: "Are you sure it's true?"

"The general can use the head on his neck to promise the lord!" Zhao Zhong said, patting his chest.

"Haha, great!" Liu Yu shouted excitedly.

"My lord, what are your plans now?" Zhao Zhong asked in confusion as he saw Liu Yu's excitement.

"Haha, this will save me a lot of effort." Liu Yu said lightly.

Zhao Zhong was even more confused. He really couldn't understand what Liu Yu was thinking.

"By the way, can you find out where the secret passage leads to?" Liu Yu thought for a moment and asked.

"My lord, I don't dare to act rashly for the time being, so I didn't find anything unusual." Zhao Zhong replied.

"That's it!" Liu Yu frowned. Could it be that the secret passage was fake?

"Lord, this won't work. We must make a decision quickly now. If Liu Bei is allowed to enter Jizhou, then the number of his troops will be much greater than ours.

At that time, it may be more difficult to defend Xudu. "Chen Gong reminded from the side.

"Well, you're right! We must seize the resources here first, otherwise it will be more difficult to deal with Yuan Shao in the future." Liu Yu nodded in agreement and continued.

"You take two teams of elites to find out whether the secret passage is real or fake."

"Yes!" Zhao Zhong said, cupping his fists.

Afterwards, Zhao Zhong took dozens of soldiers and left Xudu on horseback, heading straight for Yecheng.

On the other side, Cao Cao was taking his remaining soldiers and horses to rest in a mountainous area in the west of Hedong County, preparing to wait for his injuries to recover before launching his northern expedition.

"This time we are defeated, Yuan Shao will definitely send troops to pursue us. Who do you think Yuan Shao will send to lead the troops?" Cao Cao asked Guo Jia.

"My lord, in my opinion, Yuan Shao will definitely not send Wen Chou to lead the army." Guo Jia shook his head and said.

"Oh? How do you know?" Cao Cao said with interest.

Guo Jia smiled and said: "My lord, have you forgotten Wen Chou's misdeeds? Now that Yuan Shao has suffered heavy losses, how could Wen Chou still dare to lead troops on an expedition?" "In your opinion, will Liu Yu lead an army on an expedition?" Cao Cao asked again.

"My lord is wise. Once Liu Yu gets this news, he will definitely send troops to stop Wen Chou. Then my lord can sneak attack Liu Yu from the flank." Guo Jia analyzed.

"In this case, we should leave as soon as possible. In case Liu Yu learns the news, he will make any changes." Cao Cao said hurriedly.

"The general believes that the lord should stay in Xudu and coordinate the situation of all parties.

In this way, even if Liu Yu takes precautions, his rhythm will be disrupted, and the Lord will be able to enjoy the benefits. "Guo Jia suggested.

"This" Cao Cao hesitated. He needed a victory now, but the current situation was very unfavorable to him.

Seeing this, Guo Jia quickly said: "My lord, although I am still young, I have been deeply taught by my father and know the destiny. If my lord insists on doing this, he will definitely cause disaster!"

Cao Cao was silent after hearing this.

"Liu Yu has 50,000 elite troops. If he sends Xu Shu or Jia Xu, it will put them in danger.

The lord can choose some generals with strong martial arts skills to go to Jizhou and catch them by surprise. "Guo Jia said after thinking for a long time.

Cao Cao's eyes lit up: "That makes sense, just do what you said."

So Cao Cao immediately sent someone to summon Zhang Ji, Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Dun to discuss countermeasures.

Cao Cao looked at the shocked looks of the three people and snorted in his heart.

"My dear ministers, the old villain Yuan Shao is very cunning and has many tricks up his sleeve.

Cao Cao made a subtle hint in his words, hoping to inspire the three people's fighting spirit.

In fact, Cao Cao was also helpless. Yuan Shao's strength was not weak to begin with.

Especially his counselors are even more powerful. If Liu Yu also chooses to form an alliance with him, Cao Cao may be in trouble.

Zhang Ji, Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Dun were all Cao Cao's closest generals, so Cao Cao was so candid.

Zhang Ji and the others looked gloomy. Yuan Shao was too powerful and they couldn't cope with it.

Cao Cao sighed: "The Yuan family is too strong. Even if I join forces with you, we can't defeat Yuan Shao.

If he resists Yuan Shao alone, he may be in trouble. Dear friends, do you have any good strategies to defeat the enemy? "

Zhang Ji and the other three looked at me and I looked at you, but they didn't know what to say.

"Report!" Just when Cao Cao was disappointed, a scout quickly ran in.

"Your Majesty, Zhao Zhong would like to see you." The scout said respectfully.

"Oh, Zhao Zhong is here!" Cao Cao was overjoyed and said hurriedly: "Invite him in."

"Here!" the scout took the order and left.

After a while, Zhao Zhong followed the scouts to Cao Cao.

"General, I will pay homage to my lord!" Zhao Zhong knelt before Cao Cao.

"Ping Sheng!" Cao Cao said, "You, didn't you just say you wanted to offer some advice? Tell me what plan you have."

"It's my lord!" Zhao Zhong stood up and said to everyone.

"Liu Yu has a lot of troops. If my lord wants to deal with Yuan Shao, he must first get rid of Liu Yu. Does my lord know where Liu Yu's lair is?"

Cao Cao shook his head and said: "Gu really doesn't know. Liu Yu is so cunning that he avoids Gu in every battle."

"My lord, if you want to destroy Liu Yu, you must know where Liu Yu's lair is. (End of this chapter)
