Three days later, under the rapid march of Cao Cao's army, it was only a day's journey from Xiao Pei.

And according to the news from the front-line scouts, this Lu Bu has not yet attacked Xiaopei.

After hearing such a battle report, almost all of the Cao army were in high spirits and high morale, and they obviously planned to take advantage of Lu Bu's attack on Liu Bei to catch them one by one.

Among them, Xiahoudun was even more excited when he learned of this, and directly asked Cao Cao to send him 5,000 cavalry, so that he could take the first step to investigate Xiaopei's situation.

In this way, not only could it put pressure on Lu Bu and delay his progress in attacking Xiao Pei, but it could also prevent this Lu Bu army from fleeing after learning of Cao's arrival.

Such a proposal was quickly approved by Cao Cao, and just as he was about to take out the Arrow Talisman and let Xiahoudun go to the front line quickly, there was also a sound of horses' hooves in the distance.

A scout wearing the armor of the Cao family hurried over, bringing back the latest battle report.

Seeing that this scout had chicken feathers on his body, as if he was in a hurry, those generals of the Cao family, who were quite happy before, were also full of worry at this time, for fear that this scout would report some unfavorable battle reports.

"Prime Minister Qiqi, Gao Shun, the general under Lu Bu, attacked Liu Bei at the side gate and successfully entered the city, Xiao Pei has already been lost, Liu Bei's wife and children have been captured, and he is leading the remnants of the army to defect to the prime minister!"

When these words were spoken, it was like a thunderstorm exploding on the ground, causing a buzz in everyone's minds.

Xiahoudun, who had already received Cao Cao's arrows on the side, was even more stunned, not knowing what to do.

"How is that possible! Yesterday, I reported that Xiao Pei was still solid, why did he Liu Xuande lose Xiao Pei! ”

After hearing this, Cao Cao was furious and directly questioned him.

It's just that the person in front of him is just a scout, and after telling what he knows, he naturally doesn't know about other things.

Seeing this, Xun Yu on the side also began to feel relieved after waving his hand to serve and leave.

"Prime Minister, although Liu Bei said that he was defeated, but the soldiers under his command also lost a lot, and Lu Bu paid a lot of price, at this time, let's kill Xiaopei, we can still reap the benefits of the fisherman, and please take care of your body!"

Not long ago, Cao Cao was angry and replaced with a strange illness that still lingered in the minds of these people, and now that the army is on the march, Hua Tuo is naturally still in Xudu, if Cao Cao sends troops again at this time, what time will it be.

Cao Cao listened to such persuasion, and he didn't know what Xun Yu meant, and then he shouted angrily.

"The Lonely South Expedition to the North, what kind of battle situation has not been experienced, how can you be angry because of this! Lone just really couldn't understand why Liu Xuande was defeated so quickly! Doesn't he have the tiger general Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, who can fight Lu Bu fiercely before the tiger prison passes! ”

As Cao Cao said, he didn't have too much anger, more regret.

If this Liu Bei persists for another day, just one day, he will be able to flank Lu Bu back and forth, leaving him in a desperate situation.

But it was the time of this day that made him miss a great opportunity, although attacking Xiaopei also had a good chance of winning, but it was completely different from before.

Cao Ang on the side heard that Liu Bei had been defeated at this most critical moment, and his heart was also mixed with joy.

The good thing is that Liu Bei lost Pei County to defect to Cao Cao, that is, life and death are in Cao Cao's hands, and the worry is that I am afraid that he will really have a head-to-head confrontation with the peerless Lu Bu.

"Humph! Liu Guanzhang and the three of them, a weaver and a mat seller, a pig slaughterer and a wine seller, look at the family and the home, my father still expects them to do something! ”

"When they come over, let them be the vanguard to attack Peixian, find a reason for them to die in the hands of Lu Bu, and then my father will be able to collect all the land of Xuzhou!"

After Cao Ang got Cao Cao's approval, he was naturally in this important meeting at this time, and now he also expressed his opinion.

After all, this Liu Bei will be out of control in the future, and if he can be killed in battle, he can also get rid of his henchmen.

Hearing these words, Cao Cao also looked solemn, as if he was thinking about the feasibility of this matter.

After a long time, he was still hesitant, and could only look at Xun Yu Chengyu and Guo Jia next to him, intending to hear the opinions of these three people.

"What do the three gentlemen think?"

As soon as he said that, the three of them glanced at each other, and Xun Yu, who had the highest status and made the most contributions to Cao Cao's side, was the first to stand up and speak his opinion.

"Prime Minister, Gongzi's words are not unreasonable, Liu Bei has always had heroic ambitions, take this opportunity to kill him to get rid of future troubles!"

Hearing such words, Cao Cao's face did not change, but he raised his head slightly.

After Xun Yu withdrew, Cheng Yu should have spoken, but because Guo Jia and Xun Yu had diametrically opposite ideas, at this time, I was afraid that Cheng Yu and Xun Yu would have the same attitude, so Cao Cao made up his mind directly, so he also walked out boldly at this time.

"Return to the prime minister, return to the son, Liu Xuande can't be killed!"

As soon as he said it, Cao Cao couldn't see anything, but Cao Ang on the side immediately questioned.

"Bong-hyo! Why can't he Liu Bei be killed! ”

Guo Jia can be said to be co-opted by Cao Ang, and the relationship between the two is also very good in private, because of this, he will be a little unhappy when he hears Guo Jia's attitude towards this matter is diametrically opposed to his own.

Guo Jia naturally saw the attitude of his son Cao Ang, but at this time he still persevered and said the reason why he thought Liu Bei could not be killed.

"The prime minister led the army to quell the rebellion with the order of the Son of Heaven, and he should do the world with faith and righteousness, Liu Bei respects the Han family, if the prime minister kills him by the hand of Lu Bu, once this matter leaks out of the slightest step, I am afraid that the sages of the world will stop and kill one person and lose the hearts of the people in the world, it is really unwise!"

Unlike Xun Yu, who followed Cao Cao to fight for a long time and was decisive, Guo Jia was a literati who had just come out of office, and he thought more about how a talented scholar like himself would view this matter.

It is precisely because of this that he put forward the words that Liu Bei could not kill.

Hearing such words, Cao Ang disagreed, and after snorting coldly, he immediately said even more arrogantly.

"Losing the hearts of the people in the world, Fengxiao's words are inevitably a bit exaggerated, even today's Han family still doesn't have such a big influence, let alone a Liu Xuandehu?"

On the side, Cao Cao saw that his son seemed to be arguing with the other party when he heard Guo Jia's words, and he also reminded him at this time.

"What is there to argue about! What Feng Xiao said is not unreasonable, everything should be thought before acting, Cheng Yu will tell me your opinion. ”
