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

Sima Yi suggested: "Prime Minister, since Liu Bei has fled, our army should seize Xuzhou now, and perhaps we can save the situation."

The others nodded in agreement. Liu Bei was already a lost dog, so there was no need to provoke this disaster.

Liu Zhang hesitated for a moment and said, "Kong Ming (what he said makes sense. Now that Liu Bei has fled, Yanzhou must be empty.

We can seize Yanzhou and inflict heavy damage on Cao Ang. Then our army will have enough strength to fight against him."

All of Liu Zhang's advisers agreed, so Liu Zhang immediately ordered all his ministers to prepare for action.

The nobles in Xuzhou also agreed to Liu Zhang's plan. As long as Cao Ang could be severely damaged, they could continue to enjoy wealth and glory.

The aristocratic families began to mobilize their troops and prepare to capture Yanzhou.

Liu Bei fled to Xuzhou with his subordinates.

Liu Bei seemed to have good luck and did not encounter any danger along the way.

Liu Bei also did not realize that there was an ambush of thousands of cavalrymen along his escape route.

This cavalry was Cao Ang's scouts, specifically responsible for intercepting Liu Bei and others.

When the scout leader saw Liu Bei and his men enter the ambush circle, he smiled and shouted loudly: "Brothers, charge! Kill the traitor Liu Bei."

The cavalrymen rushed out from their hiding places with a roar.

This scene made Liu Bei dumbfounded. Are these people crazy?
Liu Bei's deputy general said in shock: "My lord, be careful! They may be Cao Ang's subordinates. We don't have many troops left."

Upon hearing this, Liu Bei almost fainted.

The scout leader laughed and said, "Liu Bei, you never thought that this day would come."

Liu Bei said bitterly: "I lost!"

"If you know what's good for you, follow me back to see the lord. Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless with my sword." The scout leader shouted.

Liu Bei closed his eyes, he knew he had no way out.

Liu Bei's deputy general drew his sword angrily and shouted, "You are a bunch of rebels. Our army will never surrender. My lord, I will stop them for you first!"

After saying this, the deputy general rushed towards the cavalry without hesitation.

Liu Bei opened his eyes and shouted, "Yuan Hao, come back. I am a relative of the Han Dynasty. If you kill me, aren't you afraid that my entire family will be executed?"

"Haha!" The scout leader laughed wildly, "Liu Bei, Liu Bei.

Do you think I don’t know? The current emperor has long forgotten his last name. "

Liu Bei was speechless.

"Brothers, kill this ignorant bastard for me." the scout leader ordered.

Thousands of cavalrymen rushed forward and overwhelmed Liu Bei's men.

A fierce battle broke out. Liu Bei's troops suffered heavy losses in the cavalry's surprise attack and were completely wiped out in a few minutes.

The scout leader ordered his men to collect the spoils and sent someone to notify Cao Ang.

The scout leader was very efficient. In about half an hour, Cao Ang received news from the scout leader.

"Oh, Liu Bei has already fled?"

Cao Ang was very surprised to hear the news. He originally thought that Liu Bei would have to hold on for a while.

Who knew that Liu Bei actually gave up? This surprised Cao Ang a little. According to his expectations, Liu Bei would not give up so easily.

"But after this defeat, Liu Bei has become a waste." Cao Ang sneered.

This time Liu Bei was defeated very thoroughly and his army was basically wiped out.

Although Liu Bei had 40,000 elite troops, he had lost his courage, and the remaining soldiers were either afraid of death or were injured or sick.

In this state, can Liu Bei still expect them to win the battle?

Cao Ang felt that even if Liu Bei surrendered to him, he would not bother to care about him. Cao Ang decided not to care about Liu Bei, as he had more important things to do.

"Lu Bu! Come out." Cao Ang shouted to the front.

"I am here!" Lu Bu walked out.

Cao Ang smiled at Lu Bu and said, "Feng Xiao is right. Your strength has indeed increased. My judgment was correct."

"Thank you for your trust, my lord. I am willing to go through fire and water for you."

Lu Bu was moved to tears. He knew that his advancement was all due to Cao Ang's cultivation, and now Cao Ang must have asked him to do something.

"Very good. Now I have something for you to do." Cao Ang said to Lu Bu.

"Please give your orders, my lord." Lu Bu said respectfully.

"Yanzhou has just surrendered to me. I want you to immediately send 5,000 Tiger and Leopard Cavalry south to assist Cao Cao in attacking Xuzhou.

Are you willing to do this?" Cao Ang said seriously.

Lu Bu was stunned. He remembered the conflict between Cao Cao and Liu Bei. Cao Ang was killing someone with a borrowed knife and asked him to weaken Cao Cao.

Lu Bu did not dare to hesitate and quickly agreed: "I will obey your order!"

Cao Ang saw all of Lu Bu's reactions. He believed that Lu Bu's wisdom was no worse than Guo Jia's, and he was even better in strategy.

Lu Bu no longer has any ambitions now. His goal is to protect Cao Ang's safety. He does not seek merit, but only hopes to live a stable life.

Cao Ang was also very pleased about this. What Cao Ang was most worried about was that he would do anything to gain power like Lu Bu in history, but in the end became an enemy.

Lu Bu's loyalty reassured Cao Ang, and Lu Bu's ability proved that Cao Ang's vision was correct.

Lu Bu took the order and began to organize his 5,000 Tiger and Leopard Cavalry to attack Xuzhou.

After receiving Cao Ang's order, Cao Cao jumped up with excitement. He finally had the chance to take revenge.

"Don't worry, Father. I will definitely take Xuzhou."

Cao Cao enthusiastically issued the order to fight.

The governor of Xuzhou, Chen Gong, frowned, Liu Bei was defeated like this.

Then Jingzhou would fall into chaos. The situation in Jingzhou would probably be even worse.

Chen Gong was indeed the top strategist of the Three Kingdoms. He immediately thought of the key issue.

Now there are not many troops in Jingzhou to resist Yuan Shu.

If Yuan Shu led his troops south, Liu Biao would definitely not be able to hold on to Jingzhou.

If Liu Biao fails to defend Jingzhou, the people of Jingzhou will suffer.

Chen Gong quickly wrote a secret letter and sent it to Xiangyang City. He also sent someone to inform other people.

When Cao Ang received the news that Liu Bei was defeated, a bright smile appeared on his face.

This scene is getting more and more interesting.

In Xuzhou, in Sun Ce's tent, Sun Ce received the news that Liu Bei was defeated.

"My lord, Liu Bei was defeated!" Zhang Zhao, the counselor beside Sun Ce, said in surprise.

Zhang Zhao was a member of Sun Ce's think tank and was highly valued by Sun Ce.

At the beginning, Zhang Zhao and Zhang Song joined forces to offer advice to Sun Ce, which enabled Sun Ce to achieve great success.

Zhang Zhao continued, "Liu Xuande has always been brave and good at fighting, so why did he lose this time?
Could it be because of the food problem?"

"As for food and grass, Liu Bei had it. But why did he choose to retreat?" Sun Ce shook his head.

"Could it be that Liu Bei has some conspiracy?" Zhang Zhao said. (End of this chapter)
