He originally planned to annex Liu Bei in one fell swoop, but before he could take action, Liu Bei and Cao Cao joined forces.

This thing was so unexpected that it made Lu Bu panic!

Within the Pengcheng Yamen Office, Lu Bu sat in the first place, and Cao Bao, who had just surrendered, was in the second place.

"Your Majesty, I never thought that Liu Xuande would surrender to Cao Cao!"

"I never thought of it either!"

Lu Bu was a little helpless.

Cao Bao on the side had already advocated a decisive battle with Cao Jun. Lu Bu glanced at him and agreed.

At present, he heard that there was no trace of Xi Yu among Cao Jun.

Since that person is not here, he has nothing to fear about Cao Cao.

What's more, this time he has tens of thousands of soldiers from Xiliang, and tens of thousands of Danyang soldiers brought by Cao Bao!

In total, there are tens of thousands of people, plus the soldiers from Pengcheng and Tancheng, and they are not afraid of Cao Cao at all.

The worst case scenario is just a fight!

Tancheng!

"Did Liu Bei cooperate with Duke Cao?"

In the Chen Mansion, Chen Deng and his son, who had already decided to side with Cao Cao, were a little surprised to learn that Liu Bei had surrendered from the city.

Chen Deng raised his head and glanced at his father, then raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

"Liu Bei is a real hero!"

To be able to do such a thing in such a situation is not something that ordinary people can do.

Liu Bei is not Han Fu.

Han Fu ceded Jizhou to Yuan Shao, partly because Han Fu himself started out because of the Yuan family.

On the other hand, Han Fu couldn't resist Yuan Shao at all.

This person has occupied Jizhou for a long time, but after all, he still has something to do.

But Liu Bei is different!

Although Liu Bei took over Xuzhou's pastoral duties, it has only been for a few months so far!

Liu Bei does not have such a big foundation in Xuzhou, and he has nothing to rely on.

He and Cao Cao can only be said to be acquaintances. They have the same friendship as when they formed an alliance at Hulao Pass, nothing more.

There is no distinction between superior and inferior!

But now, Liu Bei is willing to give up Xuzhou, which is not something ordinary people can do.

After all, this is the land of a state, the location of a state's pastoralist!

Give in when you say it, this courage alone is beyond the reach of anyone!

"Be it an outstanding person or a hero."

Chen Gui laughed. This move by Liu Bei and Cao Cao was a very wise move.

Now, the Chen family has sided with Cao Cao.

In Xuzhou, apart from Liu Bei, the only one left is Lu Bu!

What remains is how the Chen family can help Cao Cao drive Lu Bu out of Xuzhou!

……

Outside Xiapi City.

Cao Cao is riding a yellow flying lightning claw. The bright yellow horse is extremely dazzling. Cao Cao, who is wearing a red cloak, is like a dazzling star at this moment.

Liu Bei saw Cao Cao leading his horse and immediately dismounted to greet him!

"Brother Meng De!"

Liu Bei had a happy face, and the expression on his face was like that of a friend he hadn't seen for many years. At this moment, seeing Cao Cao coming, he looked extremely excited.

Cao Cao immediately dismounted, followed by Cao Ren and Xia Houyuan, one on the left and one on the right, followed by Xi Zhicai, Li Dian and Le Jin!

Then a group of people slowly walked towards Xiapi City.

Seeing Cao Jun begin to take over the entire city defense of Xiapi City, Liu Bei's expression was calm, nothing strange at all.

Next to them, Guan and Zhang looked a little dull and said nothing.

At this moment, Cao Cao and Liu Bei walked hand in hand towards Xiapi City.

Cao Cao turned to look at Liu Bei and couldn't help but smile.

"Xuande, if I had known that today, at Hulao Pass, you would have followed me all the time. Why would you need to go around like this today!"

The meaning of Cao Cao's words is too obvious.

This tone is quite sarcastic.

Liu Bei seemed to understand and smiled.

"Meng De is a rare hero in the world, but it is only today that he has realized it clearly!"

After hearing this, Cao Cao didn't say much.

He has already opened the city and surrendered. If he ridicules him again and again, it will appear that he is a little petty.

Although Liu Bei tried to influence him, the city defense of Xiapi City has been taken over by Cao Jun.

This matter has become a foregone conclusion and there are no more changes.

After everyone entered the Xiapi Yamen Office, Liu Bei invited Cao Cao to take a seat!

"Mengde, please!"

Liu Bei humbly asked to sit down, but Cao Cao was not polite at all.

At this time, there is no need for him to be polite. The entire Xiapi has been completely taken over by Cao Jun. Even the soldiers led by Liu Bei have been completely taken over by him at this moment!

Liu Bei didn't even have any objections to this.

After Cao Cao took his seat, he invited Liu Bei to sit down. The latter sat down happily, and Guan and Zhang naturally stood behind him!

"Yun Chang, Yide, please sit down too!"

Seeing the looks of Guan and Zhang, Cao Cao spoke again. The two glanced at Liu Bei without any hesitation, and then sat on either side behind Liu Bei.

After everyone sat down, Liu Bei had a smile on his face.

Cao Cao took a deep breath and felt extremely comfortable.

Being included in the whole of Xuzhou with such ease was something he had never imagined.

All in all, everything went very smoothly.

Seeing that Liu Bei didn't look strange at all, Cao Cao couldn't help but look at him.

"Xuande, how do you think we should deal with that Lu Bu now?"

"Listen to Duke Cao's instructions!"

Liu Bei changed his tone and said that he was being polite.

Now that the discussion has begun, Cao Cao calls him Biaozi, but he knows that his attitude at this time is very important.

Liu Bei's attitude was extremely low, and he completely meant that Cao Cao was the main one.

Hearing this, Cao Cao raised his eyebrows slightly.

Xi Zhicai, who was sitting on the other side, remained silent. He looked at Liu Bei for a few moments and then spoke first.

"Lord, on this occasion, we shall attack Lu Bu!"

Xi Zhicai didn't say much.

But in Xuzhou, only Pengcheng and Tancheng, controlled by Lu Bu, are left!

It’s just a place between two cities.

Cao Jun only needs a large army to suppress the territory, and Lu Bu will be helpless!

Everyone is aware of this matter, and there is no need to say anything more.

But now, with Liu Bei's surrender, the whole of Xuzhou has turned to Cao Cao. It is difficult for Lu Bu to achieve great things.

"Okay!"

"That Lu Bu took advantage of my unpreparedness and attacked me in Yanzhou. This time is the time to take revenge!"

As Xi Zhicai spoke, Cao Cao slammed the table in front of him.

Then a heroic breath spewed out from the corner of his mouth.

Liu Bei glanced at Cao Cao subconsciously after taking action.
