Emperor Road of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 365 Decision
"This Cao Cao is too, too..." Shocked and stuttering for a long time, Liu Yu still couldn't complete a sentence.

Seeing Liu Yu's appearance, Lu Su at the side became even more curious, and couldn't help asking: "My lord, what happened, why are you so shocked?"

Liu Yu acted as if he had never heard of it, still with a dull expression on his face, but turned his head to look at Lu Su, and handed him the letter.

Lu Su was puzzled, he took the letter and looked down, after reading it, his expression was the same as Liu Yu's.After a long time, he said in shock: "This Cao Cao played a big game of chess!"

"Oh, Cao Cao, I'm not as good as that." Liu Yu sighed, shook his head and smiled wryly, "From Nanyang to Xuzhou, we are all on his chessboard. Chess pieces, hehe, I am also a chess piece in Cao Cao's hands!"

The reason Zhang Xiu persuaded Liu Yu to leave the city was that Cao Cao's attack power became weaker.At that time, Liu Yu thought it was a conspiracy of Cao Cao and Zhang Xiu, not to reduce the number of soldiers, but to hide it.It now appears that those soldiers did not hide, but went to Xuzhou.

From this point alone, we can see Cao Cao's courage, how dare ordinary people do this.After all, that Zhang Xiu once betrayed him, and even had a blood feud with him.However, Cao Cao was able to accept it without changing his face, and Liu Yu thought he couldn't do it.

Of course, Cao Cao's attack on Xuzhou was not a whim, but planned from the beginning.If persuading Zhang Xiu to surrender was a surprise, then attacking Xuzhou was expected.

From the very beginning, Cao Cao sent generals under his account, even Cheng Yu, in order to take Xuzhou by surprise.As for his attack on Nanyang, he also acted uncharacteristically, like when his father died in Xuzhou, he sent troops to attack Xuzhou, just to attract the attention of the world.

His move is not bad, it can lower Lu Bu's vigilance, attract Liu Yu over, and even deal with Zhang Xiu by accident.

If it wasn't for an accident in Wancheng, even Liu Yu would have been easily resolved by him.In that case, Zhang Xiu, Liu Yu, and Lu Bu would all be dealt with by him, then he would be able to unify Huaixu and become a rival to Yuan Shao.

When it comes to Lu Bu, I have to say a lot.As mentioned earlier, when Cao Cao attacked Nanyang, he sent Cheng Yu and several generals to Xuzhou secretly.This is not over yet, after Liu Yu entered Wancheng, he let Guo Jia and Xia Houchun go to Xuzhou.

The general counselors gathered in Xuzhou, which shows Cao Cao's determination.In fact, this is also the case, because Cao Cao has already realized the threat from the northern overlord.He knew that if he could not pacify Xuzhou before Yuan Shao dealt with Gongsun Zan, the situation would be over!

The layout of the plan is grand and meticulous, and the results are indeed brilliant.Under the command of Guo Jia and Cheng Yu, Cao Jun and Liu Bei's army counterattacked Xuzhou.

Chen Gong was not as quick-witted as Guo Jia, and at this time it was obvious, coupled with Lu Bu's unruliness, he was finally ambushed by the Cao-Liu coalition forces.In this battle, Lu Bu was defeated. Not only did his soldiers suffer heavy casualties, but he himself was also severely injured by Xia Houchun and Zhang Fei.

Not only that, Zang Ba, Song Xian, Wei Xu, Hou Cheng and other generals under his command also rebelled one after another, and Kaesong surrendered to Cao Cao.This blow to Lv Bu is the ultimate!
Fortunately, Zhang Liao and Gao Shun were still there, otherwise Lu Bu might have gone mad with anger.Of course, more importantly, there is also Chen Gong planning for him.In fact, there was nothing Chen Gong could do, because Lu Bu could only go to Xiapi now, and even Guangling was controlled by Chen's father and son.Obviously, it is impossible for Mrs. Chen to work for him.

At this point, Chen Gong had no choice but to persuade Lu Bu to seek help from Liu Yu.Lu Bu cherished his life, so he sent someone to ask Shouchun for help.It is precisely because of this that Liu Yu has such a letter in his hand. Shouchun reported to him and asked how to deal with the letter.

Almost without hesitation, Liu Yu woke up from the shock, and said loudly: "Lu Bu must be saved, and Cao Cao's plot must not be allowed to succeed."

This time, Lu Su did not object, and even echoed: "Young Master, immediately send General Zhao to Xiapi to form a corner with Lu Bu to guard against Cao Jun. But General Xu..."

"Zijing doesn't need to worry, Gongming is that kind of person." Before Lu Su could finish speaking, Liu Yu immediately interrupted, "Zilong's strategy is not as good as Gongming's. Let Gongming go to Xiapi, while Zilong sticks to it."

Liu Yu is so concerned about Lu Bu, even though Lu Bu had attacked him, he still decided to send troops to rescue, of course, it cannot be because of subjective emotions.Although he was really upset about being tricked by Cao Cao, he decided to rescue Lu Bu after careful consideration.

If Lu Bu dies, Huainan will be in danger!
This is a fact, an indisputable fact, and no one can refute it.Liu Yu knew Xuzhou's form, and this flashed through his mind.Then, based on this alone, he decided to send troops to rescue Lu Bu.

Of course, besides this, he still has a little selfishness, hoping to take the opportunity to recruit the two generals under Lu Bu's account.Although it was almost impossible for Lu Bu not to die, Liu Yu couldn't help but think about it.

"Zijing, it seems that I have to hurry back to Shouchun." After talking about sending troops, Liu Yu pondered again and again, and said again.

This time, Lu Su did not object, but agreed: "Young master is right, there is no point in staying in Nanyang, and the battlefield has moved to Xuzhou."

"Xuzhou?" Liu Yu murmured, and then said with sharp eyes, "The defeat of Nanyang is my shame. In the battle of Xuzhou, I will try my best to defeat Cao Cao and wash away this shame! Zijing, you Quickly send someone to order Shouchun, I don't want Lu Bu to be defeated before I go back."

"Here, Su will do it now." Lu Su replied solemnly, and then went out of the account to handle errands vigorously.

The atmosphere in Liu Yu's camp became tense here, but the atmosphere in Cao Cao's camp over there became cheerful, especially in the main tent.The reason for the joy was not the capture of Wancheng, but the news from Xuzhou that Guo Jia and the others surrounded Lu Bu in Xiapi.

"Hahaha, Fengxiao and the others will not disappoint someone, hahaha..." When Cao Cao received the good news, he glanced at ten lines, and then looked up to the sky and laughed, extremely happy.

The generals under Cao Cao's command were also ecstatic, wishing they could fly to Xuzhou immediately to share a share of the credit.Xuzhou's contribution is great, and they all have red eyes.

Cao Cao didn't let them down. After laughing, he immediately said impassionedly: "Tomorrow, I will leave the camp. I will personally enter Xuzhou, climb down the Picheng tower, and tie Lu Bu to the hall."

With Cao Cao's order, Cao Jun began to move, actively preparing for the camp tomorrow.On Liu Yu's side, the soldiers were also actively preparing for the departure of the camp tomorrow.
