"General Zihe (Cao Chun's name) is too conservative."

Cheng Yu, who was invited by Cao Cao to discuss, said this after reading Cao Chun's letter of help and understanding the general matter of the matter.

Cheng Yu pointed out that Cao Chun’s response was not decisive enough, which led to such a disadvantage.

"If Zi and General immediately launched a large army to attack Xia Pi when they learned that Xia Pi was captured, Gongsun Zan would definitely not be able to defend it. Unfortunately, Zi and General missed the best opportunity. Moreover, most of his mind was always on Pengcheng and could not deal with Gongsun Zan with all their hearts."

Cheng Yu's words made Cao Cao nod his head repeatedly. With Cao Cao's ability, he could naturally see Cao Chun's conservatism, but he could understand Cao Chun.

Xia Pi is gone, and Cao Chun’s responsibility is already great enough. If Pengcheng is lost again, even if Cao Chun is Cao Cao’s own son, Cao Cao will not be able to protect Cao Chun. He must cut him off and give him an explanation, otherwise how will it be convincing in the future.

Moreover, when Xia Pi was attacked, Cao Chun was attacked with Liu Zhe with someone. Xia Pi was attacked by Gongsun Zan. As long as his mind was normal, he would guess whether Liu Zhe had an affair with Gongsun Zan.

Under such circumstances, it would be strange if Cao Chun dared to attack Xia Pi with all his might despite Pengcheng's safety.

"Now I can only send someone to reinforce Zi and General."

Cheng Yu knew the purpose of Cao Cao coming to him, and he said, "Prime Minister, please deal with Liu Zhe according to the method of Master Bo (Yang Xiu)."

Although Cheng Yu was worried, there was no other way now. Reinforcements could not continue to stay in Xudu. If they continued to stay, Pengcheng would be in danger.

Gongsun Zan won consecutive victories and Cao Chun failed continuously. The morale of Cao's soldiers had long fallen to the bottom. Without a single booster, even if they were to defend the city, they would not be able to defend Pengcheng.

Now Cheng Yu can only hope that Yang Xiu's method can relieve Liu Zhe. Liu Zhe is really just coming for rebels such as Sun Cheng. As long as they hand over their heads, Liu Zhe will not continue to be aggressive.

"That's all." Cao Cao said with a gloomy face. He hated Liu Zhe in his heart. At the critical moment, Liu Zhe jumped out and asked him questions and tripped him up.

On that day, Cao Cao ordered 50,000 reinforcements who had already set off in Xudu to go to Pengcheng to support Cao Chun. The generals accompanied were the two brothers Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan. Cao Cao hoped that they could help Cao Chun defeat Gongsun Zan, and even if they could not take Xia Pi back, they would seriously damage Gongsun Zan and protect Pengcheng.

After the reinforcements set off, Cao Cao sent people to drive out the messenger Liu Zhe who was staying in Xudu and waiting for Cao Cao's reply, and at the same time stated that he had not taken in Sun Cheng and other rebels. After Liu Zhe's messenger was driven out of Xudu, Cao Cao secretly sent people to find Liu Zhe's messenger with several heads that could not be seen clearly and some gold, silver and treasures.

The head was brought to Liu Zhe by the messenger, saying that these were Sun Cheng and others, while gold, silver and treasures were used to bribe Liu Zhe's messenger, hoping that Liu Zhe's messenger could say something good to him in front of Liu Zhe.

What Cao Cao didn't know was that when he sent someone to bribe Liu Zhe's messenger, Liu Zhe had already ordered in Youzhou.

In fact, the moment Liu Zhe sent out the messenger, Liu Zhe had already decided to send troops to scare Cao Cao.

Liu Zhe knew that no matter how Cao Cao was, Cao Cao would not easily hand over Sun Cheng and others, and Cao Cao would not take the initiative to slap himself in the face.

The purpose of Liu Zhe's troops was to force Cao Cao to hand over Sun Cheng and others, to make Cao Cao embarrassed in front of the world, and to let those who have bad intentions know that if he offended him, Liu Zhe, it would be useless even if he fled to surrender to Cao Cao.

There is also a group of Gongsun Zan to allow him to seize Xia Pi.

Liu Zhe rode on the Red Rabbit Horse. He was wearing white armor, majestic and domineering. Although he was following generals such as Zhang Fei and Guan Yu, no one could take away his majesty.

Almost everyone looked at Liu Zhe, and facing his lord, the people of Youzhou were full of worship.

It is precisely because of Liu Zhe that they have a peaceful and beautiful life today. For the people of Youzhou, Liu Zhe is their emperor.

Sun Shangxiang was also fascinated by Liu Zhe. She knew that Liu Zhe was going to lead troops to the war today, so she couldn't help it and ran out secretly. After Sun Ce's persuasion a few days ago, she finally couldn't help it today.

"Look, is my daddy powerful?" Liu Jing was with Sun Shangxiang, and proudly pointed at Liu Zhe and said to Sun Shangxiang.

Sun Shangxiang didn't say anything. She looked at Liu Zhe, and her eyes were almost gone. This was the great hero in her mind.

Sun Shangxiang knew that she would marry Liu Zhe, so she only had Liu Zhe in her mind, and even Sun Ce who was following Liu Zhe was not ignored by her.

Because he knew that Sun Shangxiang had married Liu Zhe, Sun Ce did not continue to refuse Liu Zhe's recruitment, so he naturally became Liu Zhe's subordinate and followed Liu Zhe to war.

"I don't know when my brother will come back." Sun Kuang said beside him.

"No more than half a year at most." Liu Jing said.

Sun Yi, who was following Liu Jing, did not speak. He looked at Liu Zhe with a slightly dazed expression. He suddenly remembered what he said to him in Qingzhou. Liu Zhe had said to him.

It is useless to find Cao Chun to vent his anger. If you want to find him, please ask Cao Cao to vent his anger.

He was still laughing at Liu Zhe at that time. Now he saw that it was ridiculous that he was himself. Liu Zhe really wanted to take someone to find Cao Cao to vent his anger.
