Chapter 217

Inside Yanzhou Inspector's Mansion
Cao Cao showed an ecstatic smile. He saw the news of Liu Bei and Yuan Shu's war, and his heart was full of joy.

Such a smile can be described as obscene, and it is also very treacherous.

Xi Zhicai also smiled slightly, because the overall situation of Xuzhou is under control now.

Li Ru on the side also smiled slightly, but he was very low-key and didn't take the initiative to express himself.

There are also generals under Cao Cao's command here, more or less a few of them know themselves.

Although these people knew that the lord had accepted Li Ru, after all Li Ru belonged to Dong Zhuo's remaining party and had a bad reputation.

Cao Cao laughed loudly and said, "In terms of strength, I, Cao Mengde, will never be able to compare with Yuan Shu."

"But combat is not determined by the strength of the troops! The soldiers are not many, but the strength, and the generals are not many, but the courage and strategy!"

"Yuan Gonglu proclaimed himself emperor in vain. This is his biggest mistake! Ten days later, I will raise three armies and unite Xuzhou Shepherd Liu Bei to defeat Yuan Shu and support the orthodoxy of the Han Dynasty."

Cao Cao spoke righteously, but these confidant generals also knew well that defeating Yuan Shu was to prepare for the future southward entry into Xichuan.

Li Ru let out a hey laugh, and only Li Ru could control this kind of eerie laughter.

"Tsk tsk, Mr. Cao doesn't need to mobilize Yuan Shu right now, it's better to split up and go south to attack Yangzhou."

"When the time comes, Yuan Shu will face the enemy, and he will definitely find a way to deal with us. This is the best excuse for us to move south."

Hearing Li Ru's words, Cao Cao replied with a slight smile, "That's right, Yuan Shu has lowered his vigilance towards me now. Yu Jin's failure to fight against Yuan Shu has already made Yuan Shu proud."

"Zhongde, start to implement the plan to transfer some people to the Hanzhong area."

"The Xishu area is not suitable for transferring people, and the Hanzhong area is a plain, which can be developed. Money, food, and grass are not left to Han Wu."

Cao Cao's smile became more treacherous, and even the generals under his command could not help but feel the slightest fear.

Ten days later, Cao Cao personally led the army and marched towards Xuzhou.

Xiahou Dun led an army of [-] to attack Yangzhou, but the outcome of the two had been determined in advance.

Cao Cao stationed troops in the border area near Xiapi, and sent envoys to advise Lu Bu in advance, hoping to join her in dealing with Lei Bo and Ji Ling.

After all, Lu Bu is a fierce tiger. If he can't help mobilizing troops against Cao Jun, then no one can do anything about it.

After all, Xiapi was already under the control of Lu Bu, and Cao Cao did not dare to lead troops directly into Xiapi.

Outside Ji Ling and Lei Bo's camp, Lu Bu personally led troops to call for battle, provoking these two generals under Yuan Shu's command to come out to fight!

But Lei Bo and Ji Ling just stayed behind closed doors, and even put up the exemption card, not daring to face Lu Bu directly.

Sitting in the big tent of the Chinese army, Ji Ling snorted coldly and said, "This Lu Bu is really not tired of coming here every day to call for battle! Although this guy is a fierce general in the world, his brain is really not bright."

Lei Bo sighed helplessly, and replied: "This Lu Bu is not a simple guy, he beheaded Yu She within three rounds back then!"

"Yu She's force is slightly better than mine, but it's on par with yours. This Lu Bu is not someone we can deal with."

Although Ji Ling disdained Lu Bu's scolding, he did not dare to underestimate his martial arts, otherwise he would not have put up the avoidance card.

"Let Lu Bu call for it! Anyway, His Majesty's order to us is only to delay confronting this fierce tiger, and we don't have to fight."

"It is said that Cao Cao has also led troops to the vicinity of Xiapi. We should ask His Majesty for support and send more troops."

Ji Ling stood up and immediately called for the scout general, asking him to go to the Yangzhou army to ask for reinforcements.

Outside the barracks, Lu Bu snorted coldly, and waved his hands to let the soldier in charge of scolding the formation rest for a while.

"Wen Yuan, let's withdraw our troops. Ji Ling and Lei Bo are destined to be unable to come out to fight. Let's go back to Xiapi City to rest for a few days."

"The news has come that Cao Cao has mobilized the armed forces to fight against Yuan Shu. We need to beware of this treacherous guy, so as not to be attacked by him in Pengcheng."

After Lu Bu finished speaking, he turned the red rabbit horse and left Lei Bo and Ji Ling's barracks at a high speed.

Zhang Liao immediately ordered to withdraw his troops, and followed Lu Bu back to Xiapi City.

Before confronting Cao Cao, Zhang Liao also knew that Cao Mengde, an insidious and cunning guy, had to be on his guard.

The chaotic war in the south of Xuzhou has formed a place of three wars!
Yuan Shao is entrenched in Beihai County, and he has been forced to demobilize part of his troops to support his elite.

A Beihai County is not enough to develop, but Guan Yu and Cao Bao are guarding Xuzhou City, and Yuan Shao has no chance to mobilize troops at all.

At the Jizhou Academy outside Yecheng, Han Wu laughed loudly with a bow and arrow in his hand, and easily shot an arrow, which penetrated the shooting board.

Han Wu's archery skills are not very good, but his arms are extremely strong, and the three young people can't pull this hard bow together.

Zheng Xuan clapped his hands in praise, and smiled kindly: "Sir, you are really good at archery, and you can be called a model for these Jizhou students."

Zheng Xuan's words made several nearby students cough lightly, and whispered: "Unexpectedly, Mr. Han would also flatter Mr. Han. It is obvious that Mr. Han's archery skills are not very good."

"Shut up! We can't pull that hard bow alone! Young Master is supernatural, and strength is part of the art of archery!"

Another student hurriedly reminded this guy to stop talking about the young master's shooting skills.

Hua Mulan had sharp eyes and ears, and when she heard the two students' discussion, she glared at them coldly.

murderous look!
The murderous look in Hua Mulan's eyes immediately startled the two students and left in despair.

No one would have imagined that the female guardian who followed Mr. Han was such a terrifying person.

Han Wu didn't care about anything, he just put his palm on Hua Mulan's shoulder to calm her down.

Then Han Wucai said to Zheng Xuan: "Sir, this Jizhou Academy has invested a lot of money, but it is developing really well now."

"The women's college has also been established. Although many literati from aristocratic families are dissatisfied with this and even criticize you as old and disrespectful, I think this is really good."

"The possibility of separating men and women to study together, avoiding the previous scandalous incidents, is indeed a lot of perfection."

"Those aristocratic families will never talk nonsense again. I think there will be more students here in the future."

Han Wu smiled slightly.

Zheng Xuan also nodded, he knew that he didn't have a few years left, and he had to develop the entire Jizhou Academy well before he passed away.

Zheng Xuan also replied: "Master, you can take time out of your busy schedule to take a look at Jizhou Academy. I am grateful for these students."

"In another year, I will let the first batch of students go to the bitter cold place of Youzhou to practice, so that they can learn to endure hardships and stand hard work."

Han Wu nodded slightly after hearing Zheng Xuan's words, and agreed directly.
