Chapter 536: Cao Cao's Support

That's right, the place where Sun Gan went like this was Xu Du. After Sun Gan was left in Nanyang County by Liu Bei, he was already very dissatisfied, but he had no choice. After Liu Bei was trapped in Fancheng, the food and grass were not transported out. Sun Gan immediately had an idea. Liu Bei was trapped in Fancheng. This was not what Sun Gan wanted, but Pang Tong's plan could not be completed. This was what Sun Gan wanted.

So after Liu Bei's food and grass were intercepted, Sun Gan left Nanyang County. He did not go back to Yuzhou because he knew that going back to Yuzhou would be of no use, and he might even be beaten up. After all, before Fancheng was broken, he abandoned Nanyang County and left.

The place that Sun Gan chose was a place that everyone unexpectedly thought of, that is Xu Du.

Sun Gan was able to go to Xudu after whipping up his horse. Fortunately, Sun Gan had been there in Xudu, so he could naturally enter the city.

"Cao Cao, Cao Mengde!" Liu Bei pondered. The grudge between him and Cao Cao was quite serious. When Cao Cao wanted to get Xuzhou, he was Liu Bei who inserted a kick and made Cao Cao fail to get his wish. After that, Liu Bei inherited Xuzhou from Tao Qian. In order to get the recognition of the Han Dynasty, Liu Bei even received Cao Cao's edict to attack Yuan Shu in Yangzhou.

Later, Liu Bei was plotted by Lu Bu and lost Xuzhou. Liu Bei used Cao Cao to retake Xuzhou. Unfortunately, he only persisted for a while. At that time, Cao Cao really trusted Liu Bei very much. Even Cao Cao was hoping that Liu Bei could join Cao Cao's command. Even Guo Jia and others wanted to kill Liu Bei, but Cao Cao stopped him.

Unfortunately, Lao Cao was sold by him and Liu Bei. This was a completely naked slap in the face. The two families should have a deep grudge, no worse than Liu Bei and Yangzhou at all.

But what I didn't expect was that Cao Cao did send food and grass this time.

"Brother, this Cao Cao is not a good guy. He just wants to watch us fight with the children of Liu Mang in Yangzhou!" Guan Yu has the talent of handsomeness and talent that is no less than Zhang Liao, but Guan Yu is too arrogant. This is his advantage and his biggest shortcoming. But the one in front of him can really see clearly.

"What the second general said is very much!" Sun Gan also nodded, "Lord, when Gan went to Xudu, he went to the heart of death, and thought that he would become a good man if he didn't succeed." Sun Gan put a gift on his face, but it sounded so beautiful in Liu Bei's ears. After all, Cao Cao's army and Liu Bei's army were enemies at that time, but they were just a temporary truce.

"Thank you for your hard work!" Liu Bei comforted Sun Gan and said, especially Sun Gan's current appearance. From Nanyang County to Xudu and back from Xudu, the journey will inevitably be difficult.

"What's the point of suffering for the lord's great cause? But when Gan went to Xudu, he was treated. Not only that, when Gan said he wanted food and grass, he agreed without any conditions in Xudu." Sun Gan said the scene of him coming to Xudu.

"The uncle and nephew of Xun's family are so scheming." Now Cao Cao is still in Hebei, and Xu Du left behind the uncle and nephew of Xun's family.

It was more like Cao Cao's plan than the plot of the uncle and nephew of the Xun family. Cao Cao is now pacifying Hebei. Once Hebei is taken, he will inevitably attack the Central Plains and then go south to Jingchu. A unified Central Plains is not what Cao Cao wants, just like Hebei. If the Yuan brothers can unite, even if Cao Cao wins the Battle of Guandu, he will be dragged to death in the subsequent long-term war of attrition. However, the two cheating guys in the Yuan family fought for the inheritance of a general.

Cao Cao gradually became stronger during the battle between the two and gradually devoured the Yuan family's territory.

Now Cao Cao also needs a Central Plains with a disintegration. Among the Central Plains are Liu Bei in Yuzhou and Liu Mang in Yangzhou. Both of them are enemies of Xu Du. Cao Cao wishes to see these two people beat them to death. Both sides are the best.

However, Liu Bei in Yuzhou was really not strong enough. He was suppressed by Liu Mang in Yangzhou. The battle of Yangzhou, the battle of Fancheng, and the trip to Jingzhou were all failed. Now the Yangzhou army is even more about to reach the city, and Yuzhou is about to be destroyed.

A Central Plains overlord was not what Cao Cao wanted, so no matter how much hatred he had with Liu Bei, Cao Cao had to let go and support Liu Bei. Of course, it was impossible to send troops directly. One of them, Cao Cao's main force was in Hebei and in Xudu, and the only one who belonged to the elite was Cao Ren's command.

Cao Cao was also afraid of provoking Liu Mang in Yangzhou, because the father-in-law and son-in-law Lu Bu and Liu Mang in Yangzhou were completely unremitting. If they really got angry, Liu Mang would let go of his anger at Liu Bei and attack Yanzhou and do so.

Isn’t Cao Cao so sad that he has to score troops for the safety of his hometown in Yanzhou? Now it is a critical moment to deal with the two Yuan brothers.

But not being able to send troops does not mean that they cannot support it. Although Liu Bei had fewer literati under his command, the generals were not bad. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were both first-class generals, and Liu Bei himself was able to fight to kill the enemy. Among the troops, Liu Bei was the defensive side and had the protection of the city wall. It can be said that it was impossible to fight. Even if he was defeated, he could be delayed for a year and a half. At that time, Cao Cao had almost pacified Hebei.

What Liu Bei lacks the most now is naturally military rations. After touching the dust from Jingzhou, Liu Bei is about to become a joke. Since you, Liu Bei, lacking food and grass, I will give it to you.

Even if Sun Qian did not go, Xun Yu from Xun Du was ready to send someone to contact Liu Bei.

"Let us both lose both sides so that Cao Cao and Mengde can reap the benefits of the fisherman!" Liu Bei smiled bitterly. Cao Cao's plan was good. He Liu Bei also saw that it was not a conspiracy, it was completely an open conspiracy. Anyone could see it, but even so what? Even if Liu Bei knew that this was Cao Cao's plan, he Liu Bei would rush forward.

This is a poison to quench thirst. Even in the end, Yangzhou and Yuzhou will not be spared. However, if you don’t drink it now, you will definitely die of thirst for a long time.

"Report, report to the lord Yingshang to speed up 800 miles. The Yangzhou army has already reached the city. Yingshang is difficult to protect. Please support me!" A messenger ran in, and the Yangzhou army has logged into Yuzhou.

"Come on, come on!" Liu Bei closed his eyes and pondered for a long time. He had no choice. The scene in front of him now looks like Xuzhou back then. Lu Bu attacked Liu Bei in Xiaopei, and Cao Cao gave Liu Bei food and grass. After waiting for the battle, he was almost done. Then he arranged troops to come.
