"What's the urgent matter?" Le Jin asked with two dark circles pressing against his eyes and a dark face.

Although he was woken up by anger, he was not the kind of person who got angry without asking the reason. He knew that his deputy would not call him if he didn't have Tete.

"Lord, I was defeated in Wancheng..." The shocked deputy told the news he had just obtained.

"What?" Le Jin's sleepiness disappeared in an instant.

Just when Le Jin received the news that Cao Cao was defeated in Wancheng, Liu Zhe also received the news, almost at the same time.

In Yecheng, Liu Zhe and his team were in a meeting, but suddenly they received news of Cao Cao's defeat in Wancheng.

Guo Jia told the news he received: "Zhang Xiu suddenly rebelled and attacked Cao Cao at night. Cao Cao fled from Wancheng in panic. Fortunately, there were large troops outside Wancheng, which quickly quelled Zhang Xiu's rebellion."

"Okay, why did Zhang Xiu rebel?" Xun You asked in confusion.

After Zhang Xiu's battle in Bowangpo, his strength was no longer enough to pose a threat to Cao Cao, otherwise he would not have surrendered. After surrendering, he rebelled again, which was not a good choice for Zhang Xiu. He would definitely be in a state of stalemate with Cao Cao in the future.

Upon hearing this, Guo Jia shook his head and said, "There is no definite news yet, and it is impossible to judge for the time being."

"Is it a pseudo-submission plan?" Xun You asked again.

"Won't!"

At this time, Jia Xu spoke out, and his tone affirmed: "I know Zhang Xiu, but Zhang Xiu will not do this. It is not something he would do to pretend to surrender to Cao Cao. Moreover, this rebellion was only rebelled two days later. I guess something must have happened in it, which forced Zhang Xiu to rebel."

"There will be a definite news at that time." Guo Jia nodded. There were more than one spy in Nanyang County to inquire about the news. As long as the war ceased, the news could be found.

"Okay, let's continue now." Liu Zhe nodded and signaled to continue the meeting. The meeting was interrupted because of this news.

After hearing this, everyone focused their attention. Although they were surprised, no one was anxious. This news would not affect Liu Zhe for the time being.

So, Liu Zhe and his men continued to hold a meeting, and millions of people retreated. More than one thing needed to be done, and everyone was busy.

After Liu Zhe withdrew most of Li Yang's millions of people, he received the message sent back by the spies, which were detailed about the Battle of Wancheng.

After reading the information, Liu Zhe was amused and laughed. It turned out that Zhang Xiu's rebellion was really forced.

According to the information sent back by the spies, Liu Zhe and others understood why Zhang Xiu rebelled. It turned out that Cao Cao slept with someone else's sister-in-law and even bribed his confidant in front of him. It would be strange if he didn't rebel against you.

Zhang Xiu originally planned to surrender to Cao Cao sincerely, but Cao Cao was not kind. Zhang Xiu's uncle Zhang Ji was seriously injured in the melee in Yongzhou. After fleeing to Wancheng with Zhang Xiu, he died not long after leaving his wife Zou.

Cao Cao became straightforward when he saw Zou, and directly forced Zou to take him as his concubine. He asked Zou to serve that night. This action made Zhang Xiu very angry. As soon as he surrendered, his aunt was taken as his concubine by Cao Cao. It was spread out in the future. People in the world would think that Zhang Xiu used his aunt to exchange for wealth and glory. What kind of face did he have?

Although Zhang Xiu was annoyed, he still endured it. At this time, he had not yet rebelled, but then another thing made Zhang Xiu even more unhappy and rebelled.

Zhang Xiu had a confidant general named Hu Cheer, who was the bravest of the three armies. In the battle of Bowangpo, it was precisely because he led his army to attack Xiahou Dun's formation and cooperated with Zhang Xiu to defeat Xiahou Dun.

After hearing this, Cao Cao was very interested in Hu Cheer. When he first saw Hu Cheer, he fell in love with him. Who made Hu Cheer look majestic? He looked like a powerful general. Cao Cao took out the gold in his pocket on the spot and gave it to Hu Cheer.

This action was done in front of Zhang Xiu, which made Zhang Xiu even more annoyed. Who is Hu Che'er? He is Zhang Xiu's confidant and bribed Zhang Xiu's confidant in front of Zhang Xiu. Such action undoubtedly made Zhang Xiu angry and afraid that Cao Cao would buy Hu Che'er and kill him.

Cao Cao didn't know that his actions caused Zhang Xiu's dissatisfaction, which made him determined to rebel. Cao Cao's mind was very simple. If Zhang Xiu surrendered to me, he would be a subordinate. Your former subordinate was my subordinate. Isn't it normal to reward subordinates?

Unfortunately, Zhang Xiu didn't think so. It would be fine if my aunt slept, but if I bribed my confidant and wanted to kill me, I couldn't bear it anymore. I'm going to rebel against you.

Hu Cheer had not been successfully bribed by Cao Cao, so he and Hu Cheer rebelled and attacked Cao Cao at night.

Cao Cao already lived in Wancheng, and he was not wary of Zhang Xiu. When Zhang Xiu led his troops to besiege Cao Cao, Cao Cao was sleeping with his arms around Zou.

When Zhang Xiu came, Cao Cao fled in panic, and even Zou was not attentive to him.

Cao Cao didn't have many guards to bring into Wancheng. Under Zhang Xiu's sneak attack, he was very busy. Even Cao Cao's mount Jueying was killed in the breakout. Cao Cao's nephew Cao Anmin gave his war horse to Cao Cao, allowing Cao Cao to escape from Wancheng, but he was also killed by the riots.

Cao Cao escaped from Wancheng and returned to his own military camp, leading a large army to attack Wancheng.

After Zhang Xiu knew that Cao Cao had escaped, he knew that it was impossible to do anything. Cao Cao had more troops than his, so he immediately took Hu Cheer to lead several cavalry to escape from Wancheng, headed to Yuzhou, and surrendered to Liu Bei.

After Cao Cao captured Wancheng, he was furious and retaliated against Wancheng. Nearly tens of thousands of soldiers were killed, while more innocent people were.

After pacifying Wancheng, Cao Cao vowed to seek revenge on Zhang Xiu.

He knew that Zhang Xiu had gone to surrender to Liu Bei, so he asked Liu Bei to hand over Zhang Xiu.

Liu Bei said, are you a fool?

Cao Cao was furious and threatened Liu Bei that he would buy shoes, don’t force me.

Liu Bei said, who is afraid of whom? If you dare to come, you will beat you up.

Cao Cao is angry, it's so abominable. He hasn't settled the score with you last time, so I'll settle it with you this time.

Liu Bei said, come on, I will call my senior brother.

Cao Cao soon received troops from Gongsun Zan of Xuzhou and approached Yanzhou.
