Yuan Xi on the other side was unable to escape, Dian Wei followed closely behind, hitting him hard in the back.

Yuan Xi spurted out a mouthful of blood and rolled onto the ground. After struggling for a few times, he stopped moving.

Cao Peng came forward and frowned, "Lao Dian, you are too heavy to do this! This guy is a pig worth a thousand taels of gold. If you beat him to death, how can I blackmail Yuan Shao?"

Dian Wei:...

On the other hand, Zhang Liao and Zangba also led their troops to clean up Yuan's army on both sides and returned to the Iron Cavalry's team.

Although the reinforcements were huge this time, Cao Peng had a very classic battle to win the more with fewer ones.

I believe that after the news came out, Cao Peng's reputation could be so powerful in Hebei.

"Tie these two guys for me, and the half-dead person is looking for someone to treat..."

While explaining, Cao Peng led the army forward without slowing down at all. In a flash, he had already left Qingzhou's territory and joined the tens of thousands of troops he had stayed to station.

"What should I do next?" Dian Wei asked.

Cao Peng took a look at the road with wind and sand behind him and pointed to the direction he went back, "Of course we are going back to Xuzhou."

Leading such a huge army, of course, he had to find a city to station. His original plan was to go to Xuzhou.

I heard that Cao Peng planned to station in Xuzhou.

Zhang Liao and Zangba seemed to be a little unhappy.

After Cao Peng asked, it turned out that what they disliked was Che Zhou, the current governor of Xuzhou.

"When that guy became the governor of Xuzhou, he was so successful. His arrogant look was so annoying." Zhang Liao even showed disgust in his eyes when he said this.

Because at that time, Zhang Liao, Zangba and others had just surrendered to Cao Cao, and Che Zhou had just been appointed as the governor of Xuzhou by Cao Cao.

As people who originally occupied Xuzhou, they had to do some alternating work for Che Zhou.

But Che Zhou was so arrogant. If Zhang Liao and others had not just surrendered and chose to swallow their anger, Che Zhou would have been beaten by the eight powerful generals.

Dian Wei patted the two men on the shoulders and comforted him, "But why don't you be serious with him if you are a governor who is accepted by accusation of being sent to the lord by a woman by greedying the flames and giving away women to his lord?"

That being said.

Sure enough, Zhang Liao and Zang Ba still couldn't swallow this.

Cao Peng smiled and said, "Don't worry, this guy Che Zhou's death is approaching."

Everyone looked at Cao Peng with surprise, wondering why he said so.

Cao Peng pretended to be mysterious and raised his finger to his mouth, "Don't reveal the secrets of heaven, don't forget that I am the best prophet!"

Everyone believed it a little. Cao Peng expected the enemy to take the initiative, and he had no choice but to make any mistakes.

It is not without reason that he calls himself a prophet.

...

Just as Cao Peng and others had just left the border between Qing and Xu and planned to return to Xuzhou.

Liu Bei had killed Yuan Shu, collected the remaining soldiers of Yuan Shu's army, and handed over their weapons.

At this time, the direction of the march was not to go to meet Cao Peng, but to head straight to Xuzhou.

Not long ago, Liu Bei and Guan Yu and Zhang Fei had a discussion.

Now, because he was chasing Yuan Shu, he was chasing him in Xuzhou, while Cao Peng and Yuan’s army were fighting in Qingzhou.

In other words, Liu Bei will definitely be able to enter Xuzhou faster than Cao Peng.

As early as when he recommended himself to Cao Cao and led his troops to attack Yuan Shu, his idea was to kill Che Zhou and occupy Xuzhou.

However, Cao Peng appeared out of nowhere, hindering his plan.

Now, the opportunity has come again. Although the risks are very high, Liu Bei plans to give it a try.

This is the reason why Liu Bei is not a person who has lived under others for a long time.

In order to chase Yuan Shu, Cao Peng gave him all cavalry, so they were very fast.

It's almost time to arrive in Xuzhou.

Guan Yudan opened his phoenix eyes slightly and suddenly asked, "Brother, Xuzhou City is easy to defend but difficult to attack. How can we succeed in this little man?"

After hearing this, Liu Bei smiled faintly.

Although his second brother is quite good at military strategies, as a gentleman, he is a little short-sighted in thinking about problems.

When Guan Yu saw Liu Bei laughing, he knew that his elder brother must have had some kind of bad idea again.

Just as he is good at using interpersonal morality as a sharp blade, no one can do this except him.

After laughing a few times, Liu Bei finally answered his doubts and said, "Second brother, we are wearing Cao Jun's clothes now. When we arrived in Xuzhou, we only said that we would go back to the city first with General Cao Peng's order. How dare Che Zhou not open the door?"

The doubts in my heart were finally resolved.

But Guan Yu only wants to say two words at this moment, darn!

It was not that he could not imagine such a strategy, but that this kind of thing was completely different from who had a lower limit.

Although there are many military tactics, soldiers never get tired of deceit.

But the arrogant Mr. Guan Er just disdains to use this trick.

"Second brother, why are you still worried?" Liu Bei noticed Guan Yu's abnormality and asked.

Guan Yu hurriedly apologized: "I'm sorry, brother, I may be a little tired, so I'm distracted for a while."

His concealment did not make Liu Bei suspicious.

But Guan Yu sighed secretly in his heart.

At the beginning, he never had any ideas about Liu Bei's "benevolence and righteousness" tricks.

The beginning of everything came from the time Xu Tian hunted, where Liu Bei stopped him from killing Cao Cao.

Later, the matter of the robbery was exposed and Liu Bei was left out. In Guan Yu's opinion, these behaviors were not a man.

When Guan Yu was worried, the army had already arrived at the city of Xuzhou.

The guard in the city immediately asked loudly, "Who is coming?"

Liu Bei rode out and responded loudly: "We are under the command of Cao Peng, the general of the Northern Expedition. Please open the city gate!"

When the governor heard about Cao Peng's reputation, he immediately went to report to the governor Che Zhou.

When Che Zhou heard this, his face changed drastically, "It's General Cao Peng who is here, so I must come out to greet him in person."

The deputy general beside him asked, "Why do you have to do this?"

Che Zhou said: "This Cao Peng is the person the prime minister trusts the most, but he must not neglect it."

Che Zhou put on his armor and rode his horse, leading a thousand soldiers out of the city.

Even Liu Bei did not expect that Che Zhou would leave the city in person. He immediately muttered to Guan Yu next to him: "Chang Yun, it will be up to you later."

In a moment, Che Zhou had arrived.

Without seeing Cao Peng, he immediately asked, "Where is General Cao?"

Liu Bei immediately stepped forward and smiled: "General Cao led the army behind him. We were sent by him to go to Xuzhou first."

Che Zhou did not doubt that he was there, but he didn't see Cao Peng, and his attitude became a little cold: "Since that's the case, then please!"
