Three Kingdoms: The opening incorporates Li Cunxiao

Chapter 271 Liu Yao is here, and so is Cao Cao
  The days to come were quiet, Zhang Wu didn't want to move, Liu Bei didn't dare to move, and Yuan Shao of Jizhou hadn't moved yet.

The situation came to a standstill.

Runan, who was supposed to explode like a barrel of dynamite, strangely calmed down.

In the ninth month of the golden autumn, Liu Yao finally moved and rushed to Liu Bei's aid with 50,000 infantry.

In the big tent, Zhang Wu and his horse Jin Dao were sitting at the head. Lu Qiling praised the sword standing behind her.

The civil and military personnel on both sides were separated.
  On the right are Jia Xu, Pang Tong, and Mi Zhu.

On the left are Hua Xiong, Zhao Yun and Cao Xiu.

Cao Ren and Cao Chun have been sent back to Xuchang by Zhang Wu. For now, although the battle in Runan is urgent, it is not fatal. It will be really fatal when Yuan Shao of Hebei takes action.

There must be enough manpower left for Xun Yu, otherwise if Runan defends but loses Xuchang, then the gain will really outweigh the loss.

Before anyone else could speak, Cao Xiu couldn't hold himself back. This was his first time on the battlefield, so the young man's desire to express himself was inevitably stronger.

"General, Liu Yao's army is crossing the river. It is better to block the river and stop it."

"My hair is almost turning gray waiting for him, why should I stop him?"

A hearty laughter sounded from outside the camp: "Who are you waiting for until your hair turns gray?"

The tent was opened.

Zhang Wu immediately stood up with a smile, clasping his fists and bowing: "My father-in-law is not at the Governor's Battle in Xuzhou, why did he suddenly come to Runan?"

Cao Cao, accompanied by Xu Chu, walked into the camp, and all the generals saluted.

Cao Cao passed the crowd and walked to the main seat and sat down. He waved his sleeves and raised his eyebrows at Zhang Wu: "If I don't come, you won't be able to go to heaven." As he said that, he glanced at Jia Xu without leaving any trace.

Wu didn't understand what he said: "Jia Hu, it's okay. If you dare to do the same thing to me in front of me, I'm really not afraid that I will tear down your house!"

Cao Cao patted the table: "That's almost it. Wen He's concerns are not unreasonable. According to your boy's trouble-making temperament, once the war in Runan collapses, the consequences will be unpredictable."

"My father-in-law is doing everything he can, it's just the war in Xuzhou."

Cao Cao twitched his short beard and said, "The war in Xuzhou is not urgent at all. The prime minister has ordered Zhongde to supervise it with full authority. In as soon as three or two months, or at the latest before summer next year, our army can occupy the entire territory of Xuzhou."

Zhang Wu was speechless.

It's better if Cao Cao comes. If someone knows the truth, he can have more fun.

Zhang Wu did not continue to struggle with this issue and pointed at Zhao Yun:

"Does my father-in-law still recognize this person?"

Cao Cao took a closer look:
  "But the person who fought fiercely with Dian Wei before Yingqiu?"

He immediately confirmed his conjecture, grinned and burst out laughing. He stood up in person, walked to Zhao Yun, and patted his shoulder:

"We have been away from Yingqiu for many days, and General Zhao's style remains the same. He wants to kill me!"

Zhao Yun was flattered and quickly clasped his fists: "I am willing to do my best for the Prime Minister."

"Okay, the truth will be reported to the emperor now, and Zilong will be named General Huwei."

This is the advantage of holding the emperor in his hands. The powerful generals under his command can seal them however they want. It is just a formality to report to the emperor.

"Thank you, Prime Minister."

"Okay Ziqian, tell me your battle plan."

Cao Cao personally supervised the battle, but he couldn't help Zhang Wu acting aggressively, so he had to wink at Pang Tong.

Pang Tong immediately came out to explain in detail.

The plan was to split the Huainan coalition forces and attack Wei Commandery via Hanoi.

One after another, everyone was stunned.

Even Cao Cao, who claimed to be proficient in commanding troops in combat, was very satisfied.

If Pang Tong's plan is followed, the chaos in Huainan will not only not delay Cao Cao's unification of the north, but will instead become an important opportunity to weaken Yuan Shao.

It's okay if Yuan Shao doesn't extend his hand this time. As long as he dares to join this chaotic battle, he will become the biggest loser besides Liu Bei.     In Yuzhang City.

Liu Bei held a banquet and personally attended to Liu Yao.

The latter was Yang Zhoumu, who came with his army in person, which gave Liu Bei enough confidence.

A rough calculation shows that there are nearly 130,000 troops stationed in Yuzhang City, and Zhang Wu's troops can only count to 20,000.

Even if Zhang Wu could fight no matter how good he was, it would be impossible for him to defeat 20,000 people against 100,000 people.

After three rounds of drinking.

Liu Bei noticed that Xu Shu always looked worried, so he took advantage of the toast and gently tugged on his sleeve:

"Why is Yuan Zhi so depressed?"

"My lord, during the banquet, the horsemen from the front came to report that the commander's flag in Zhang Wu's camp has changed."

"Oh, could it be that Zhang Wu has returned to the army?"

Xu Shu shook his head: "The banner with the word 'Zhang' is still there, but the commander's flag has been changed to 'Cao'. There is someone in the enemy camp who can seize the commander at this moment."

Bang! ~
  Liu Bei dropped the wine cup from his hand and hit the ground with a beautiful splash of hops.

During the dinner, Liu Yao raised his head and asked, "What's the matter with Xuande?"

"Nothing, nothing, just a little drunk."

After sending Liu Yao away, Liu Bei asked in a low voice: "Did Yuan Zhi say that Cao Cao came in person??"

Xu Shu sighed: "That's right."

Liu Bei's heart thumped, and he took two steps back, holding on to the table to steady himself.

Is Zhang Wu more terrible or Cao Cao more terrible?
  This question was concluded long ago.

Zhang Wu is a famous general in the world. Whether it is his personal bravery or his ability to command cavalry, he is the best in the world.

If Zhang Wu is compared to the sharpest sword in the world, Cao Cao is exactly the one holding the sword.

A sword has a double edge, which can hurt others or yourself. Thinking about it from another perspective, Liu Bei thought that in Cao Cao's position, it would be difficult for him to control Zhang Wu's sharp blade.

Either divide its power, or exclude its lifeline.

However, Cao Cao, who was always suspicious, made an exception for Zhang Wu.

The champions are Shi Yi Wanhu, Hussar General, Bingzhou Mu, Flying Bear Cavalry Commander, and Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry Commander.

If an ordinary person occupies one of them, he will be guarded by the monarch. If he has no seal and no advancement, he must have great achievements and shock the master. Zhang Wu not only occupied them all, but also gained a high degree of freedom of march.

Sometimes Liu Bei thought Cao Cao was crazy.

As early as when Cao Cao was trapped in the camp and under siege, Zhang Wu had the opportunity to stand on his own feet, but he did not. When Zhang Wumu was guarding Bingzhou, he could also get rid of Cao Cao, but he still didn't.

The reality is before our eyes. Not only did Cao Cao not get away with it, but he also successfully grasped the sharpest edge.

Even Cao Cao and Zhang Wu have become a model of the dependence of monarchs and ministers in the Han Dynasty.

And Cao Cao, who holds the sharpest blade in the world, is definitely the most terrifying existence in the world with his scheming, planning, and determination.

"My lord, my lord?"

As Xu Shu called, Liu Bei came to his senses and sighed:

"Yuan Zhi thinks that our army still has a chance of winning when the traitor Cao arrives in person?"

"My lord, why should I underestimate myself? The troops stationed in Yuzhang are several times that of Cao Cao. Although the current situation is dangerous, it is not an opportunity. Once my lord defeats Cao Cao head-on, he will be able to gain a foothold in Huainan and see the world."

Liu Bei clenched his fists and nodded vigorously, with strange fireworks bursting out of his eyes.

Yes!

If Cao Cao and Zhang Wu can be defeated at once, who else in the world can compete with him.
