Chapter 717 Heartbroken Liu Bei

In fact, Jia Xu's heart is inclined to surrender to Cao Cao.

Absolutely cannot surrender Li Jue, at most cooperate with Li Jue.

But Zhang Xiu has always been unwilling to surrender, so Jia Xu can only choose to let him cooperate with Li Jue.

This time the emissary could not be Jia Xu, because Jia Xu was originally a member of the Xiliang army, and he was afraid that he would not be able to come back if he went.

Jia Xu has been trying her best to break free from the Xiliang Group, because Dong Zhuo is too stinky, and even though he has been dead for so long, the Xiliang Group still cannot get rid of this bad reputation.

Jia Xu knew that the Xiliang Group would perish sooner or later, and it would be better to break away from them as soon as possible.

Zhang Xiu sent others to go on a mission, and also asked Jia Xu to write a letter.

The letter clarified the powerful relationship in detail, and then sent a lobbyist who could speak.

Li Jue was moved and agreed to attack Cao Cao.

The two sides agreed on a secret code, and when the day's attack was over and the troops were about to withdraw, Zhang Xiu personally led someone to kill them suddenly.

Naturally, Cao Cao would not make low-level mistakes, and he had long been prepared to block Zhang Xiu outside the city.

At first Cao Cao thought that Zhang Xiu was about to break out of the encirclement, so while blocking it, he sent troops from the rear to encircle him.

At the same time, Cao Cao sent people to ask for help from Li Jue's army, and asked Li Jue to cooperate with him.

Li Jue also cooperated very well, bringing the whole army to kill, but changed direction halfway through the rush, and went to sneak attack Cao Cao.

"My lord, retreat quickly, Li Jue suddenly attacked us."

Several Cao generals rushed to protect Cao Cao and let Cao Cao retreat.

Cao Cao never thought that Li Jue would suddenly turn against him at this time.

If you want to turn against the water, you have to wait until you win Wancheng.

At this time, Li Jue would not be able to get Wancheng if he turned against the water, unless Zhang Xiu wanted to surrender to Li Jue.

Cao Cao had no time to think about it, and retreated under the protection of several Cao generals.

Zhang Xiu and Li Jue took the opportunity to cover up the killing.

Although Cao Cao's soldiers were formidable, they suffered heavy losses due to sneak attacks and flanking attacks, and had to retreat all the time.

"I'm so mad." Cao Cao cursed after returning.

This time he withdrew only more than 20,000 people, and the loss was too great.

It's not that Cao Cao couldn't bear such a loss, but he was angry that he was tricked.

"This Li Jue is really stupid. He even cooperated with Zhang Xiu. I don't know what he thinks." On the way back, Cao Cao couldn't figure it out.

There is no way to figure it out, it has already happened.

Cao Cao could only go back and look for other opportunities.

Zhang Xiu joined forces with Li Jue to deceive Cao Cao, and Cao Cao had no choice but to retreat.

However, Zhang Xiu and Li Jue combined are not Cao Cao's opponents, after all, the two of them have no talents and foundation.

A few days later, Zhang Yu received the news.

Zhang Yu held the information in the study and sighed helplessly, "Is this a coincidence or something, Cao Cao's first conquest of Wancheng was also a complete defeat, even Cao Ang died."

In other words, it can't be considered a failure, it's just that Cao Cao put his sister-in-law to sleep, so there are so many things later.

Dian Wei and Cao Ang died in this battle.

Now they are all alive, but Cao Cao still failed.

Zhang Yu didn't know if Cao Cao would attack the two again, but he felt that his chance had come.

"Well, I'm sure I won't refuse to sell weapons and equipment to Zhang Xiu and Li Jue now." Zhang Yu put down the information and began to think seriously.

In fact, he was also being serious. He didn't have much stock to sell for the time being, and he could only transfer a part of it from Youzhou if he wanted to sell it.

He just wanted to stimulate Cao Cao and make him sick.

However, both Zhang Xiu and Li Jue were afraid of Cao Cao's comeback. After all, although Cao Cao was defeated this time, Cao Cao's strength was still there.

After Zhang Yu sold it to them, the two immediately agreed and began to collect money to buy weapons and equipment.

When Cao Cao received the news, he wished he could immediately mobilize troops to fight with Zhang Yu.

After Cao Cao went back, he called everyone together.

"Now that Zhang Xiu and Li Jue are at odds with each other, it's hard to deal with each other. What should we do?" Cao Cao asked.

"My lord, Li Jue and Zhang Xiu are not difficult to deal with, and they are only cooperating temporarily. It is actually not difficult to divide them." Cheng Yu said.

Cao Cao asked Cheng Yu to continue talking, and Cheng Yu was already prepared, so he said: "Zhang Xiu in Wancheng is the weakest, we can recruit him, and then destroy Li Jue together."

"feasible?"

Cao Cao asked suspiciously.

No wonder Cao Cao was puzzled, if it was that simple, would it still take such a hard fight?

Cheng Yu thought of a solution on the way back from Cao Cao, so he said: "It's not difficult. Although the two of them cooperate, there is no mutual trust. They are not people who can see the long-term. Just create some conflicts for them. It will not be difficult to make a forced landing in Zhangxiu if they deepen their suspicion and mobilize a large army to go there."

Cheng Yu analyzed Zhang Xiu's situation, and now he has few soldiers, so it is entirely feasible to make an emergency landing on Zhang Xiu.

"My lord, this plan is feasible, but we need to stabilize the surrounding situation first. This plan will not succeed in a short time. Once there are changes in other directions, the plan may fail." Xun You also said aloud.

Several other people helped to perfect the plan, so Cao Cao let Cheng Yu do it.

After Cao Cao came back, he visited Liu Bei. Liu Bei lived in seclusion and grew vegetables at home.

At this time, there was no plot of cooking wine and discussing heroes, but Cao Cao's suspicion of Liu Bei was still very deep.

"Brother Xuande, my recent battle is not going well, please help me." Cao Cao said to Liu Bei who was watering the vegetables.

Liu Bei was overjoyed, is Cao Cao planning to use him?

Although he was overjoyed in his heart, he didn't show it on his face, but said indifferently: "I just want to be a farmer now, free and comfortable, and I don't have any great skills. I'm afraid I will let down the prime minister's love."

Cao Cao waved his hands noncommittally and said: "If Xuande wants to farm, he should farm well, but Yunchang and Yide are enemies of ten thousand people. It is a waste of talents to let them accompany you to farm. I need this when I conquer rebellion. Talents."

Liu Bei was about to cry. If the three brothers were to lead the army together, he would have no objection, but if Cao Cao wanted to leave Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, it would be his death.

But Liu Bei couldn't refuse. If he refused, then Cao Cao would know that Liu Bei still had ambitions, and he would be more guarded against him and even kill him.

"Okay, when my two younger brothers come back, I will explain to them, and then let them report to the prime minister."

Liu Bei had no choice but to agree, but he had to give Guan Yu and Zhang Fei an ideological and political lesson anyway, so don't be instigated by Cao Cao at that time.

Cao Cao really wanted Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, otherwise he would have killed Liu Bei long ago, and Liu Bei's stay is always a hidden danger.

But it's the same under house arrest, just keep one more idler.

Cao Cao was so preoccupied that he didn't talk nonsense with Liu Bei, and then he walked out of the yard and went back, leaving Liu Bei who was about to cry.
