"Xuande, I knew you were leaving."

In the soft moonlight, Cao Cao and Liu Bei rode their war horses side by side, walking in the middle of the army.

"Prime Minister, how dare Liu Bei have such a heart, since he is willing to lead the army to help the Prime Minister this time, there is no reason to leave halfway." Liu Bei said in panic.

He did think so in his heart, but now he didn't dare to admit it to his face.

"Xuande, this battle with Zhao Hui, if it weren't for your help, I would never have won it!"

Cao Cao didn't care, he continued.

What Liu Bei thinks in his heart, Cao Cao can guess a little now.

At the beginning, Liu Bei wanted to unite with Dong Cheng and others to kill him, and Cao Cao had a hard time believing Liu Bei.

Even if Liu Bei came to support him now, Cao Cao was also on guard in his heart.

Cao Cao now very much needs to rely on those fierce generals under Liu Bei's command.

If there is no Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, Cao Cao's chances of winning will be at least one percent lower.

Originally, when he faced Zhao Hui, he only had a three-percent chance of winning.

"Don't worry, Prime Minister, I will definitely go all out to help the Prime Minister and serve the Son of Heaven." Liu Bei said.

No matter what Cao Cao said, he would not admit that he had the intention of leaving.

Cao Cao said: "If I am defeated, the north will fall into the hands of Zhao Hui, and Xuande thinks that there is anyone else in the world who can control Zhao Hui?" ”

"No one can control it!" Liu Bei filtered Sun Ce, Liu Biao and others in his heart, although he didn't want to admit it, he knew that it was the truth.

Even if Liu Cousin, Sun Ce, and Liu Zhang all join forces, their strength is still better than Zhao Huiruo.

The north is the center of the Han Dynasty, and even though the southern states are larger, their overall strength is really inferior to that of the north.

This is the truth, Liu Bei has to admit it.

"Xuande, I know that you don't obey me, you were born to be a hero, but at this moment, you and I must cooperate sincerely and join forces to deal with Zhao Hui, so that there is a glimmer of hope." Cao Cao said.

Cao Cao didn't believe that Liu Bei would surrender to him now, but he had to convince Liu Bei that he must always be on his side, at least in this battle with Zhao Hui.

"If I am defeated, this world will be his, as a member of the Han family, is this what you want to see?"

Liu Bei naturally didn't want to see it.

But joining forces with Cao Cao, Liu Bei didn't know if he was just making a wedding dress for Cao Cao in the end.

If Zhao Hui wins, he can sweep the world, but if Cao Cao wins, Cao Cao may also sweep the world.

He Liu Bei may not get anything in the end, and he will be destroyed by Cao Cao in the end.

So Liu Bei didn't really want to help Cao Cao at all.

What he had always wanted in his heart now was to leave as soon as possible and go south to join Liu Biao.

Although it is said that Zhao Hui defeats Cao Cao, he can have the strength to sweep the world.

But Zhao Hui also needs to take a few years to consolidate.

And he can join forces with Sun Ce and Liu Zhang, even if he loses to Zhao Hui, but it is not completely without a chance.

At that time, it was time to watch.

Ten or twenty years, when Zhao Hui changes, the opportunity will naturally come.

"Defeat Zhao Hui, Qing and Ji Youyou, Xuande can take two states."

In order to be able to make Liu Bei feel at ease and help himself with all his might, Cao Cao also made a bloody investment.

Liu Bei now has only 5,000 people in his hands, joining forces against Zhao Hui, Cao Cao is the main force, but he is willing to give up Erzhou, and he still lets Liu Bei choose.

Youzhou and Jizhou are both large states with a population of millions.

Qingzhou is a little closer, and the state again, but there are also two million people.

If Liu Bei is in Youzhou and Jizhou, his strength will be at least five or six times higher.

With the current population and wealth of Youzhou and Jizhou, it is not a problem for Liu Bei to recruit 300,000 soldiers.

Even if he only has to merge with the state and Qingzhou, it will be a big change for Liu Bei.

It's just that Cao Cao really has such a good heart?

Cao Cao didn't believe in Liu Bei, and Liu Bei didn't believe in Cao Cao either.

Even if Cao Cao agrees now, if he really defeats Zhao Hui at that time, Cao Cao can also regret it.

Cao Cao's words cannot be guaranteed at all.

Liu Bei was weak, and after defeating Zhao Hui, Cao Cao could swallow Liu Bei with a little means.

"Xuande, I swear to the sky, as long as Zhao Hui is defeated, Youzhou Jizhou is Xuande yours, if you break this oath, the sky will thunder." In order to make Liu Bei believe, Cao Cao directly made an oath.

"Prime Minister rest assured." Liu Bei said in a deep voice.

Cao Cao could hear the difference between this voice and the previous one.

He was finally relieved.

If he hadn't sworn an oath, he would definitely not give up Youzhou and Jizhou to Liu Bei.

Even if he swears now, Cao Cao will see what the situation will be when the time comes.

If Youzhou and Jizhou are handed over to Liu Bei, he can still take them back in the future, then it doesn't matter.

If it was given to Liu Bei, he would be at a disadvantage, and even if he swore an oath, Cao Cao would not abide by it.

Liu Bei didn't fully believe in Cao Cao, but there was an oath, which still made Liu Bei feel a little more at ease.

He could not go to the south for a while and stay here to join forces with Cao Cao.

If Zhao Hui is defeated at that time, Cao Cao does not give Youzhou Jizhou, Liu Bei can also go to the south again.

There is not much difference between him going to the south now, but he is the enemy of the future, from Zhao Hui to Cao Cao.

But if Cao Cao fulfills his oath, then he will be able to get Youzhou Jizhou.

Since Cao Cao swore an oath, Liu Bei was willing to believe in Cao Cao again.

If Cao Cao doesn't give Jizhou Youzhou, he will watch Cao Cao be thundered by the sky.

Believing in Cao Cao once is also giving himself a chance.

If he could, Liu Bei didn't want to go to the south.

The north is the center of gravity of the Han Dynasty.

On the night of the retreat, Cao Cao and Liu Bei "treated each other frankly", and finally had a result.

Zhao Hui camp tent.

Dian Wei, Guo Jia and others are there.

"Lord, I am willing to lead a group of men and horses to pursue the Cao thief."

Zhao Hui received the news of Cao's retreat, and Dian Wei wanted to lead the army to pursue.

He was going to take the 40,000 men who had lost to Cao Cao at Baima to pursue Cao's army, and let them take revenge.

"Cao Cao knows the art of war very well, and if he retreats tonight, he will inevitably leave people and horses behind, and he will pursue rashly, and it is easy to encounter ambushes." Guo Jiadao.

When he came out, he deliberately looked at the moonlight, and this kind of night is also very suitable for ambush and night attack.

Bright moonlight, which allows them to see enemy movements.

"Strategist, even if Cao Cao leaves someone to ambush after the break, I can kill him." Dian Wei was confident.

Cao Xiu was ambushed in Moyanling, but he was defeated, Cao Cao is retreating now, how many people can break off?

He led an army of 40,000 people, and even if Cao Cao set a trap, he could rush through.

Zhao Hui has not yet decided.

Guo Jia was right, although Cao's army was secretly retreating at night, Cao Cao must have a backhand to prevent Zhao Hui from pursuing.

Otherwise, he would retreat like this, which would be tantamount to exposing his back for Zhao Hui to beat.

"I personally led 10,000 men in pursuit."

But if he didn't chase it, Cao Cao still left, and Zhao Hui was also a little unwilling.

He didn't send Dian Wei to go, but to pursue it himself.

"Lord, by all means."

Xu Shu and the others immediately opened their mouths to persuade.

Knowing that Cao Cao would be ambushed, Zhao Hui had to pursue it personally, which was too dangerous.
