We agreed that you, a weak strategist, would fight against three heroes by yourself?

Cao Hong spoke loudly.

To say yes, these words actually came from Xi Yu's mouth.

Hearing what the other party said, Cao Cao couldn't help but feel a thump in his heart.

Fengyi said?

It was because he didn't listen to Xi Yu's advice before that it led to the current situation. Now he heard Xi Yu commenting on Liu Bei like this.

Cao Cao hesitated for a moment.

At this moment, everyone in the tent turned their eyes to him.

However, when I thought that this was just what Cao Hong said, Xi Yu had never spoken directly to him about Liu Bei.

Maybe Xiyu just made a casual comment!

Cao Cao thought for a while, and the current situation no longer allowed him to think too much.

In his opinion, Liu Bei is indeed a good candidate.

The other party is the uncle of the Han Dynasty, and he will definitely do his best to deal with Xuzhou.

Furthermore, what if Liu Bei had great abilities?

If he can trap the opponent in Xuchang once, there will be a second time.

Thinking like this, Cao Cao not only raised his head again: "No problem, just follow the order!"

Seeing that Cao Cao was so unconcerned, although Cao Hong wanted to say more, Cao Cao had already closed his eyes and took a nap.

Cao Ren glanced at him and shook his head, and Cao Hong didn't speak.

Nothing happened in the account.

The rain outside is getting heavier again.

…

Xu Chu, who had just left, was now heading towards Xuchang with three thousand tigers and brave men.

At the same time in Xuchang, although the weather was a bit gloomy, it did not rain.

Since Xun Yu had approached Xi Yu about the Xuzhou incident before, he realized that the other party had no intention of taking action, so he did not force him.

Xun Yu wrote to Xia Houyuan on the one hand, and then wrote down the situation in Xuchang in detail, and then had someone send it to Cao Cao.

the other side.

Within Liu Bei's residence.

After the news came that Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor, Liu Bei was also a little angry. If he led troops outside this time, he would have to attack Yuan Shu.

However, now he is trapped in Xuchang and cannot be free.

Even if there is energy in the heart, there is no room for it to be used.

And at this moment, Mi Zhu came quietly from outside the gate.

"My lord, there is a letter from General Guan and General Zhang!"

After Mi Zhu entered the door, he held a letter in his hand. He had just received the letter and it was from Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. Mi Zhu did not dare to delay and hurried over to send it to Liu Bei.

"Have you received letters from your second brother and your third brother?"

Hearing Mi Zhu's words, Liu Bei couldn't help but feel a hint of joy on his face.

It has been a year since I entered Xuchang that day and parted ways with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

Liu Bei never knew where Guan and Zhang were now and how they were doing!

Now that he suddenly received the letter, Liu Bei couldn't help but burst into tears.

After receiving the letter from Mi Zhu, Liu Bei opened it easily.

The letters were very thick, so Liu Bei turned to the desk and spread them out one by one in front of him to look at them.

[Brother, seeing a letter is like seeing you in person! 】

[Since I separated from my eldest brother, my third brother, Mr. Lian Sun, and I have been planning for a long time, with many twists and turns along the way. 】

[After being instructed by Mr. Sun, the two of us headed to Xuzhou...]

Guan Yu's letter first talked about what he and Zhang Fei had done for more than a year, and then he said that Liu Bei was crowned the emperor's uncle by the emperor. Both of them were a little happy.

At the back, there are nothing more than some words of concern for Liu Bei.

After reading the entire letter, Liu Bei couldn't come back to his senses for a long time, and his eyes were filled with tears.

Since the three brothers became sworn brothers, this is the longest time they have been separated from each other.

I have two brothers who are now running businesses in Xuzhou and are living a pretty good life.

The two of them occupied a hilltop in Xuzhou, and they kept away from violence and performed many good deeds.

By the way, thousands of soldiers and horses gathered in the stronghold.

The reason why the two of them wrote this letter was because they heard that Lu Bu was attacking Xuzhou, and they were interested in sending troops to help and asked Liu Bei for his thoughts.

After getting the two people's ideas, Liu Bei was a little lost.

His second and third brothers were both righteous people, and now that they wanted to send troops, he naturally agreed happily.

Yuan Shu usurped the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, and then connected with Lu Bu to attack Xuzhou. This in itself made Liu Bei very angry.

After reading the letter, Liu Bei raised his head and wiped his face with his sleeve.

"Zi Zhong made a joke!"

Liu Bei said with a smile, and upon hearing this, Mi Zhu waved her hands quickly.

"My lord, what are you talking about? My lord values ​​love and righteousness. This is the blessing of being a minister. How could Zhu laugh so hard!"

Mi Zhu spoke, and Liu Bei couldn't help but laugh bitterly.

"The second brother and the third brother are both in Xuzhou now. They heard that Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor and Lu Bu attacked Xuzhou. They intend to serve the emperor and resist Lu Bu!"

"But!"

Liu Bei said that he couldn't help but hammer the case in front of him with his hands.

Even the letters on the desk shook a few times.

"But now I am trapped in Xuchang. I wish I could walk side by side with my second and third brothers and serve the country!"

Liu Bei's voice was a little annoyed, and Mi Zhu next to him also sighed after hearing this.

Xuchang began to guard Liu Bei very heavily. It was somewhat difficult for Liu Bei to leave Xuchang.

Of course, if you just sneak out of the city, it doesn't matter. If you just leave like this, it doesn't have any name.

At that time, people will be in trouble again.

If Liu Bei wants to leave Xuchang, he must have an edict from the emperor.

"Lord!"

Mi Zhu made a sound, wanting to persuade, but she didn't know how to speak.

Seeing Mi Zhu's expression of embarrassment at this time, Liu Bei looked at it with open eyes.

"Zizhong, don't take it to heart, I'm just saying it casually!"

"Time is destiny!"

"Since a man is in troubled times, he should bow down and wait for the right time!"

Liu Bei smiled and subconsciously looked at the distant sky.

"Now, maybe it's just that the time has not come yet!"

After saying this, Liu Bei looked at Mi Zhu again, with a rather apologetic look on his face.

"It's a shame for Zizhong. You have to stay with me in Xuchang City this time!"

Hearing this, Mi Zhu shook his head slightly.

Since I have already made some choices, what is the use of talking about them now.

"My lord, don't worry!"

Although she said this, Mi Zhu still felt a little regretful in her heart.

My second brother wrote a letter a few days ago, saying that he would give up Liu Bei.

He did have some hesitation in his heart.

And ever since the Hebei Zhen family and Xi Yu got on the line, Mi Zhu felt somewhat resentful.

It is said that the Zhen family is not only responsible for the circulation of Dahan books and periodicals all over the world because of their connection with Xi Yu, but also the sales of some things created by Xi Yu.

As a businessman, how could Mi Zhu fail to see the benefits in this.

All I can say is that different choices lead to different situations!

It's a pity that he was not so lucky to encounter that Xiyu earlier.

However, my second brother wrote to say that she was such a beauty in the play, and that my little sister is already quite old now.

The second brother suggested that if there was a chance, let him try Xi Yu's tone.

During this time, Mi Zhu's thoughts couldn't help but wander a little further.

"Zizhong?"

When Liu Bei saw Mi Zhu standing in front of him, he suddenly became stunned and couldn't help shouting.

Hearing the voice, Mi Zhu gradually came back to her senses.

He glanced at Liu Bei subconsciously.

Thinking of his little sister, he had previously thought of marrying her to Liu Bei.

However, now his second brother's thoughts made him somewhat shaken.

He has already invested most of his assets on Liu Bei. Is it difficult to include his sister?

Mi Zhu hesitated a little, looking at Liu Bei in deep thought.

Liu Bei stood up at this moment, reached out and took the initiative to hold Mi Zhu's arm.

"Zizhong is feeling a little unwell, why not rest here today!"

Liu Bei didn't know what Mi Zhu was thinking. At this moment, when he saw Mi Zhu suddenly dazed, he asked with some concern.

After hearing this, Mi Zhu bowed his hands.

"I did feel a little unwell just now, so Zhu will stay soon and go back first!"

After hearing what the other party said, Liu Bei did not force the other party to keep him.

"good!"

"Zizhong, please go back and rest first. I will write a letter to the second and third brothers later, and Zizhong will help deliver it tomorrow!"

Mi Zhu nodded and said nothing more.

…

In the blink of an eye, it’s already the end of September.

A few days had passed since Xuzhou was captured by Lu Bu.

When Xu Chu rushed back to Xuchang, the entire Huben camp, including him, looked a little embarrassed.

If it weren't for the Huben camp, it would be considered Cao Cao's elite. In this group, it is inevitable to have someone dragging the team.

But, even so, after the entire Huben camp returned, there were still a few people who were feeling a little unwell.

Fortunately for Xu Chu, he remembered Cao Cao's orders as soon as he came back.

After entering Xuchang, Xu Chu went straight to the Xun family's mansion.

When Xu Chu returned, Xun Yu naturally invited him to his residence as soon as possible.

"Mr.

Xu Chu spoke loudly.

Hearing this, Xun Yu was not surprised at all.

However, when he thought that he had already approached Xiyu before, his attitude was extremely obvious.

So what if Xu Chu comes back now?

According to his understanding of Xi Yu's temperament, since his attitude has been made clear, Xu Chuqu will probably do the same.

Just blame it.

At that time, when there was a rift between the Cao family and Xi Yu, you, Cao Cao, did not come forward to resolve the matter immediately.

This is the current situation.

It’s difficult!

"Xun Lingjun?"

Seeing that Xun Yu didn't speak, Xu Chu couldn't help but become a little anxious. After shouting at the top of his voice, the former came back to his senses.

"Since it is Sikong's password, I will accompany you to the Taiwei's house to ask!"

Xun Yu responded casually, but he didn't have any expectations about whether Xi Yu would agree.

Xu Chu didn't think much about it at this time. He held Cao Cao's sword in his hand and followed Xun Yu straight to the direction of the theater.

Not long after, the two arrived outside Xiyu's mansion.

At this moment, Dezhi Xun Yu and Xu Chu came hand in hand. After inviting them to the main hall of the mansion, Xi Yu did not say anything.

At this moment, Xun Yu thought about it and couldn't help but persuade him.

"Fengyi, after Sikong got into Xuzhou this time, he became seriously ill and couldn't come back for the time being. This time..."

Halfway through the words, Xun Yu saw that Xi Yu's expression remained unchanged, even after learning that Cao Cao was ill.

The words that followed were stuck in his throat for a moment.

Sighing in his heart, Xun Yu looked at Xu Chu. He didn't say anything more. The meaning in his eyes was that Xu Chu said it himself.

Although Xu Chu is straightforward, he is somewhat aware of the conflicts between Cao Hong and others and Xi Yu.

Because of this, Cao Cao chose to let him lead the army this time.

However, since he has accepted Cao Cao's order, he can't control that much.

Xu Chu raised Cao Cao's sword forward.

"Lieutenant, Sikong ordered me to hand over this sword to you. He will not be able to come back now, and the entire military and political affairs of Xuchang are under your control!"

After Xu Chu said this, he subconsciously handed the sword forward in his hand.

He thought that Xi Yu would take the sword directly after hearing this. Who would have thought that after waiting for a long time, the sword in his hand did not move at all!

The sword was not heavy, but Xu Chu, holding the sword, suddenly felt as if the weight of the sword was weighing on his heart.

Suddenly, it became heavy!

"Lieutenant?"

Xu Tuo raised his head, Xi Yu had been standing there for a long time, with no intention of stepping forward to take the sword.

Hearing Xu Chu calling him, Xi Yu's face changed slightly.

"General Xu, please come back. Yu has other things to worry about and is currently unable to take on important military and political duties in Xuchang!"

Xi Yu refused directly. After hearing this, Xu Chu felt a little bad!

Sure enough, this thing is not that easy.

Xun Yu shook his head.

He didn't look at Xi Yu, he just opened his mouth and started talking to himself.

"I just received the military report from Xuzhou. Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan are now trapped in Xiapi!"

"And Xiahou Dun was seriously injured and is still awake. Lu Bu is a rare warrior in the world and cannot be resisted by Xiahou Yuan!"

"I'm afraid the entire Xiapi won't be able to hold on for much longer!"

"When Xiapi City is defeated, I'm afraid it won't be long before the entire Xuzhou falls!"

Xun Yu said this to himself.

After all, the administrative seat of Xuzhou is now Xiapi City. If Xiapi is lost, it means that the entire Xuzhou is in my hands to resist Lu Bu.

By then, I am afraid that the entire Xuzhou will naturally fall.

But now, there is no movement among the aristocratic families in Xuzhou, as if they are waiting and watching.

Xun Yu was talking to himself, but Xi Yu couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.

Xuzhou is in danger!

Wenruo, Wenruo!

You talking about such things in front of me is nothing more than trying to get me to take action.

It's a pity that he can't take on this matter!

Xi Yu could already feel that Cao Cao was afraid of him.

If he wanted the two of them to remain in the same situation as they were in Yanzhou, then he would not be able to take the sword today!

Once he takes it, maybe he can successfully solve the problem in Xuzhou.

But then!

After Cao Cao came back, some things were completely difficult to change.

Although Cao Cao may be a little grateful for the rescue of Xuzhou.

However, how long can this matter last? If he cannot save Xuzhou, then this matter is nothing.

But Lu Bu, to him, was really nothing.

Once he takes over this sword, Xuzhou's predicament will be easy.

Then what!

Should he take the credit for pacifying Xuzhou?

Now that he is already a lieutenant, after all his achievements, will he replace Cao Cao and become the general of the Han Dynasty, or the prime minister?

Could Cao Cao watch as he was promoted to prime minister or general?

impossible!

Once you get that far.

The friendship between him and Cao Cao may never return.

Xiyu didn't want to answer.

At least for him right now, he doesn't want to break with Cao Cao to that point!

In the final analysis, the relationship between the two is only due to interests, and it is nothing more than giving in!

But now, what he is more concerned about is the affairs of Xuchang School.

Xi Yu pretended not to hear. Xun Yu looked at Xi Yu from the corner of his eye. After seeing the other party's expression, he stopped talking.

Everything that needs to be said has been said, and he also knows why Xi Yu didn't choose to agree.

If it were him who was Xi Yu, he might have hesitated in his heart!

However, he is still different from Xi Yu after all.

For the big man, he upholds the ideal of supporting him.

But Xiyu was different. The world he saw in his eyes was not the world of the Han Dynasty.

Regarding this concept, Xun Yu even criticized it at the beginning.

He even felt that it might be difficult for him and Xi Yu to get together and become close friends.

But now they are already close friends.

Xi Yu had never instilled that kind of idea into him, so naturally he would not interfere with the other person's ideals.

"Sir, Xuzhou is in danger. Please take over this sword and save Xuzhou!"

Xu Chu spoke again. At this time, he had changed his title. Instead of calling Xi Yu Taiwei, he called him Sir.

But Xi Yu had already made a decision in his heart. At this time, no matter how Xu Chu spoke, he had no intention of changing his mind.

"I see that the general is in a miserable state. There happens to be a washing room in my house. If the general doesn't mind, I will ask Dian Wei to take you to wash up later!"

Xi Yu did not agree and changed the topic before saying something.

Then he nodded towards Xun Yu, and then walked out of the main hall.

At this time, Dianwei and others were waiting outside. When they saw Xi Yu coming out, they didn't ask.

"Awei, I see that General Xu is in such a miserable state. You can take him to the bathroom later to wash himself up!"

He gave instructions to Dian Wei, who was stunned for a moment. He thought that his husband called him because he had something important to give him.

For example, my husband plans to send troops to Xuzhou with him.

However, what I didn't expect was that when my husband opened his mouth, he just asked him to take Xu Chu, that old man, to take a shower.

This is too!

Dian Wei responded, not having the slightest objection to Xi Yu's arrangement.

Since your husband didn't say anything about Xuzhou, it has nothing to do with him.

As for taking that guy Xu Chu to take a shower, it's not a big deal.

Dian Wei walked to the main hall and saw Xu Chu standing in the main hall in a daze. He walked to the other party in two or three steps.

Randomly, he reached out and patted the other party's shoulder.
