Cao Ang stayed in Yecheng as a hostage and could not leave Yecheng without Yuan Shao's permission.

Now that he has escaped from the city, you don't need to think about it to know what Cao Cao is worried about.

Yuan Shao no longer thought about it, stood up angrily, and said sternly: "Quickly order Jushu, Yan Liang, and Zhang Xiu to join forces with Liu Xuande to destroy Cao Cao. Order Chunyu Qiong to lead the army to capture Jiyin, and Zhang He to lead 10,000 soldiers

Help.”

"Also, when chasing Cao Ang, we can't let him escape." Yuan Shao added.

Everyone stood up quickly and agreed in unison.

Yuan Shao sat down and saw the box containing the imperial seal on the case. He calmed down a little, then looked at Zhou Ping and said: "Wen An, Liu Xuande's loyalty is known to me, and I will be rewarded heavily!"

"Thank you, General!"

Zhou Ping left the general's palace and sent people to rush back to Xiapi to inform Liu Bei of what happened in Yecheng and asked Liu Bei to prepare to join forces with Jushu to attack Cao Cao.

He also gave special instructions that the city was still tightly surrounded on all sides and that the city could be entered from the south.

If Jushu had received Yuan Shao's military orders, he would have let him enter the city.

Zhou Ping stayed in Yecheng for a few days. In addition to visiting Guo Tu's mansion, he also visited Tai Fu Yang Biao, Shao Fu Kong Rong, and Shangshu Ling Xun Yu.

When he told them about his visit to Ye, the main point was that he brought the imperial seal and gave it to Yuan Shao.

Xun Yu was originally prepared to refuse to see Zhou Ping, but Zhou Ping brought Kong Rong with him, so he had no choice but to accept him.

Regarding Cao Cao's conspiracy, Xun Yu understood that Cao Cao could not be willing to be subordinate to others. It might not be what Zhou Ping said, but it would be similar.

He is now staying in Yecheng, and Yuan Shao treats him very politely. His current choice is not to help each other, but to only think about the emperor and the court.

Five days later, Zhou Ping, Zhang Fei, Xu Chu and others returned the same way.

He had already been to Yecheng, and it was impossible for Cheng Yu to set up another checkpoint for inspection. There was no need for that.

Moreover, Cheng Yu may have learned that Yuan Shao issued a military order, and he should be preparing troops to defend the city to resist the enemy. How could he still have the energy to intercept him.

Outside Xiapi City, in Jushu Camp.

Jushou was a little shocked after receiving Yuan Shao's military order.

He hurriedly sent for Yan Liang, together with Wen Chou, and the three of them discussed countermeasures together.

"The general asked us to join forces with Zhang Xiu and Liu Bei to destroy Cao Cao. We will just act as ordered."

Yan Liang didn't think too much. He would do whatever Yuan Shao said.

"Since Liu Bei wanted to go out of the city to Yecheng to present the jade seal to the general, he could have just said no. Why did he have to repeatedly attack the camp and forcefully break through?"

Jushou always felt that there was something suspicious about it.

Wen Chou said: "If he had said so, we would not have let them go. We would have asked them to hand over the jade seal and we would hand it over to the general."

Jushou nodded, feeling that he had thought too little.

But I always feel that something is not right, but I can't put it into words.

"Since it is the general's order, we have no choice but to follow it and invite Liu Bei and Zhang Xiu to discuss it together. This must be done quickly, otherwise Cao Cao will be on guard when he gets the news, and it will not be easy to attack him again."

Jushu wrote a letter with his own hand and sent someone to call the gate of the city. He wanted to enter the city and deliver it to Liu Bei personally. He also sent someone to invite Zhang Xiu to discuss the matter with him.

Liu Bei received the envoy, read the letter, and his expression changed.

Guan Yu, Mi Zhu, Zhuge Jin and others didn't know what was going on. They just felt that Liu Bei was surprised and happy.

After Liu Bei told the story, everyone understood why Liu Bei was so surprised.

"Lord, is this credible? Could it be that Cao Cao and Ju Shou conspired to deliberately lure us out of the city?" Zhuge Jin asked.

At this time, the person sent by Zhou Ping to report the news had not arrived yet.

Liu Bei and everyone also calmed down. After thinking about it carefully, it was really possible.

Cao Cao couldn't attack Xiapi, so it was very possible that he came up with such a plan.

Liu Bei thought for a while and said: "Zhuge Zhizhong, you go out of the city to see General Ju and check out the situation. If this is really the case, sir, you will send someone back to report it. Only with your letter can this matter be believed."
