Liu Bei was attacked by a sneak attack, and he had no time to rescue him. When he received the news, Liu Bei had already been beaten away, and he could only lead his troops to retreat to Xuzhou immediately. As for Shouchun Yuan Shu, he ignored it.

Man Chong asked, "Does your lord want to go to Xuzhou?"

Cao Cao nodded and said, "Yuan Shu is a dry bone in the tomb, so it is not worth worrying. Only Gongsun Zan of Xuzhou is my biggest concern."

Yuan Shu was seeking death by proclaiming himself emperor, and his brutal rule in Shouchun was no longer popular, and he would not become a climate for a while. On the contrary, Gongsun Zan occupied Xuzhou and was Cao Cao's biggest opponent to unify the Central Plains.

Only by unifying the Central Plains and occupying more territory can one be qualified to fight against Liu Zhe. This is Cao Cao's clear understanding.

However, facing the heavy troops deployed by Gongsun Zan in Xiaopei Pengcheng, Cao Cao was a little troubled. The losses would definitely be huge during the advancement. Moreover, because he had a massacre in Xuzhou before, Xuzhou was not very welcome to Cao Cao.

You must think of some solutions, preferably a sneak attack. Cao Cao has already fallen in love with sneak attacks. No wonder Liu Zhe likes sneak attacks so much. It turns out that the sneak attack effect is so good.

Facing the difficult questions raised by Cao Cao, Cheng Yu had a solution. A flash of crazy light flashed in his eyes and said, "Lord, we might as well attack Liu Zhe..."

Cheng Yu's words made Cao Cao jump almost jump up. He stared at Cheng Yu in surprise. At this moment, Cao Cao wondered whether Cheng Yu betrayed him, was bribed by others, and then killed him.

If it weren't for the rationality and knowing that Cheng Yu wouldn't betray him, Cao Cao would have asked the guards to arrest people long ago.

Cheng Yu's proposal was too crazy, which made Cao Cao frightened.

Isn’t it seeking death to attack Liu Zhe?

Cao Cao has never dared to anger Liu Zhe too much. He knew that his strength could not be compared with Liu Zhe. Once he angered Liu Zhe and started a war with Liu Zhe, he would undoubtedly be defeated.

Why did Cao Cao ask Liu Zhe to lead his troops to Xudu? The 50,000 troops were stationed outside the city, so that Cao Cao would sleep with his eyes open. He would rather do this than give Liu Zhe an excuse to start a war against him. He would rather risk the possibility of being attacked in his lair than give Liu Zhe an excuse.

All of this was because Cao Cao was afraid of Liu Zhe and was extremely afraid of his strength.

However, Cheng Yu now proposed to provoke Liu Zhe, which scared Cao Cao. No matter what Cao Cao did, he just didn't want to fight with Liu Zhe.

Before and after the ceremony of the book, Cao Cao's actions were very embarrassing, and Liu Zhe walked sideways on his territory. Such actions made his subordinates extremely dissatisfied, but Cao Cao still did so.

Although Cao Cao's behavior was embarrassing, it was effective. Liu Zhe gave him face and had no excuse to deal with Cao Cao, which made Cao Cao feel relieved. He attacked Zhang Xiu and attacked Liu Bei, but Liu Zhe did not take action, which made Cao Cao feel at ease. He wanted Liu Zhe to do nothing. It would be best to let him unify the Central Plains and strengthen his strength before he could compete with Liu Zhe.

In Cao Cao's future plan, Liu Zhe was his final goal, and his primary goal now is to unify the Central Plains.

"Zhongde, what did you say?"

Cao Cao suspected that Cheng Yu had said the wrong thing, and he asked again in surprise.

I asked you to come up with an idea, but I didn't let you come up with such a crazy idea. Moreover, this idea is not only crazy, but also dangerous. Is it true that Liu Zhe's million-strong army fake?

Cheng Yu looked at Cao Cao and then looked at the others present. Everyone showed a surprised expression. Some people, like Cao Cao, thought Cheng Yu had said the wrong thing.

Cheng Yu naturally knew that his words were amazing. Cao Cao's strategy has always been to start with the Central Plains and then the North. This strategy was proposed by Cheng Yu, but now he has to deny his words when he hears him, so it is difficult for everyone to believe it.

Cheng Yu did not want to deny the strategy he proposed before. He explained: "Lord, what his subordinate means is that Gongsun Zan sets up heavy defense in Xuzhou, and the losses of strong attacks will be huge. We might as well act a play for Gongsun Zan to let him relax his vigilance and wait for an opportunity to attack."

When Cao Cao heard Cheng Yu's words, he breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Cheng Yu was not crazy and was not bribed, so it was still normal.

Otherwise, if he had to fight Liu Zhe now, he might as well have to directly attack Xuzhou and fight against Gongsun Zan. It would be better to be killed or destroyed by Liu Zhe.

"Zhongde, let's test Liu Zhe now. Is it a little too early?" Cao Cao thought for a while and asked. When he thought of Liu Zhe's army of millions, he had nightmares.

"There are many ways to fool Gongsun Zan, and you don't have to test Liu Zhe."

Man Chong also agreed with Cao Cao's words. His previous Xu Duling was made to be disgraced by Liu Zhe's sister and had to be replaced. Now he has become a staff member of Cao Cao and has participated in military decision-making. Because he is a new staff member and has been involved in decision-making for a short time, he is more cautious and does not advocate provoking Liu Zhe now.

"Lord, I didn't say we could come forward to test Liu Zhe." Cheng Yu explained with a smile.
