After being abandoned by Liu Bei, Cao Cao begged me to be a military adviser

Lao Huang shook his head and didn't speak.

Old Cao said: "Sir, is there any unspeakable secret here?"

Liu Xian still didn't speak, but looked at Lao Huang.

Lao Huang said: "Just now, my husband and I were shooting chickens, and my husband asked if the chickens could play basketball. When I was in a hurry, I broke the bow!"

"Huh?" Lao Cao was shocked: "What is basketball? Chickens can also play basketball?"

Lao Huang shook his head: "Master Ji, the point is not whether chickens can play basketball, I broke the bow!"

"Bow?" Lao Cao rolled his eyes and finally came to his senses.

This is reaching out to benefit yourself again!

I don't blame them, after all, this is business.

Liu Xian was already tactful.

Lao Cao immediately beckoned: "Old Xu, bring me the precious carved bow that Cao Gong rewarded me, and give it to sir!"

Xu Chu was taken aback for a moment, and then asked, "Master Ji, this was rewarded to you by Mr. Cao. Is it appropriate for you to do this?"

Lao Cao asked: "What's wrong with this? I wouldn't give it to anyone, but I'd be more than happy to give it to Mr. Ziyu. Go get it!"

"Yes!" Lao Xu nodded, trotted to the front of the horse, took off the carved bow, and ran back to Lao Cao.

Lao Cao handed the carved bow to Liu Xian with both hands: "A small gift is not a respect, please accept it, sir!"

Liu Xian asked: "Brother Chicken, is this thing worth money?"

"This……"

Lao Cao made a big blush.

This Liu Xian is too realistic, right?

Ask if the gift is worth the money.

Old Cao said: "This thing is extremely valuable and priceless!"

"Bragging, it's bragging at first glance!" Lao Huang laughed.

Lao Cao blushed, and hurriedly explained: "You two don't know, this carved bow was given to Duke Cao by the emperor when Xu Tian hunted!"

"Oh?" Liu Xian was refreshed when he heard this.

Old Huang said: "That time, my husband and I watched from afar outside, and the memory is deep!"

Xu Tian's siege happened after Liu Bei took refuge in Cao Cao.

At that time, Liu Xian was still under Liu Bei's account.

Old Cao was shocked when he heard this: "Liu Bei is so mean? Don't let Mr. enter?"

Liu Xian quickly waved his hands: "I don't want to go!"

Lao Cao was puzzled: "This is a rare opportunity to meet the emperor, why don't you go, sir?"

"Because I know it's not a good thing. Mr. Cao wants to protest to the emperor, and Guan Yu wants to kill Mr. Cao. I don't want to get involved in this matter!" After Liu Xian finished speaking, he immediately took the Baodiao bow and handed it to Huang.

Cao Cao was extremely shocked: "Guan Yu wants to kill Duke Cao? Haven't you heard of it?"

Lao Huang smiled: "Liu Bei knows both civil and martial arts, but it's normal that you don't know at Cao Ying at your level?"

"Me!" Lao Cao was speechless.

His level is already No.1 in Cao Ying.

But he didn't know this until today.

Liu Xian quickly waved his hands: "Don't mention the past, let's drink!"

"Drink, drink!" Lao Cao nodded again and again, but he still had lingering fears.

Never expected that Guan Yu turned out to be such a person.

The good thing is, when he was between Guan Yu and Liu Xian, he chose Liu Xian without hesitation.

This is simply a blessing in misfortune.

The four of them exchanged cups for a while, and then Lao Cao said: "Sir, I have spent all my money, and I still need you to help Mr. Cao with advice and suggestions!"

"Hahaha!" Liu Xian laughed: "The senior officials have been defeated, and the three brothers of the Yuan family are nothing but chickens and dogs!"

"Oh?" Lao Cao was shocked: "The three brothers of the Yuan family are gathered together, and there are still more than [-] soldiers and horses. Don't underestimate them!"

Liu Xian shook his head: "Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu are incompatible, how can the three brothers work together?"

Lao Cao nodded: "Sir, what you said makes sense!"

Liu Xian said: "Mr. Cao only needs to use a little plan, and he will surely kill them all!"

Lao Cao asked: "Dare to ask what this sub-plan is?"

Liu Xian blurted out: "Ambush from ten sides!"

"Ambush on all sides?" Cao Cao frowned, "Sir, is this a trick?"

"Yes!" Liu Xian nodded.

Cao Cao: "???"

Liu Xian took an arrow and drew a brief map on the ground.

"Yuan Xi and Shenpei must lead troops into Liyang City, but Yuan Tan's soldiers cannot enter the city!"

Lao Cao was puzzled: "Sir, what do you expect?"

Liu Xian grabbed the wine bowl and took a swig.

"Because Yuan Shao is critically ill, both Yuan Shang and Yuan Tan are heirs to the throne!"

"The reason why it looks calm is because our army is still in Cangting!"

"And Yuan Xi supported Yuan Shang, how could they let Yuan Tan enter the city?"

"If Yuan Tan doesn't enter Liyang City, everyone can elect Yuan Shang as their lord!"

"Yeah!" Lao Cao nodded: "It makes sense, it makes sense!"

Liu Xian continued: "Mr. Cao can pretend to retreat but leave his feet behind. The front army is lying in ambush by the Yellow River, and Mr. Cao will lead the rear army himself! The three brothers of the Yuan family will send troops to chase after him. When Mr. Cao retreats to the side of the Yellow River, he can fight with his back! The ten soldiers from the former army will come out together, and kill his three brothers without leaving any behind!"

Cao Cao gasped when he heard this.

"This trick is ruthless! It's ruthless enough for our own people!"

Liu Xian smiled: "If you don't be cruel, you won't be black, the harder you do, the more black you will be!"

Lao Cao frowned: "Why does this sound weird? It reminds me of some other things about her..."

"Hahaha!" Liu Xian laughed: "Simply put, it takes a dark and ruthless heart to achieve great things!"

"There's nothing wrong with what you said!" Lao Cao nodded.

Liu Xian said: "After this battle, Hebei has no more invincible soldiers. Maybe Cao Gong can take us to Yecheng to celebrate the New Year!"

"Hahaha!" Old Cao laughed, "If this is the case, sir, it will be the first contribution, and I will do my best to help the Zhen family!"

"Cough, cough, cough!" Liu Xian coughed twice to hide his embarrassment.

"Hahaha!" Lao Cao laughed again.

Chapter 62 Yuan Shao returns to the light and the three brothers of the Yuan family attack Cao Cao together

Early the next morning, Cao Cao summoned civil and military forces to secretly discuss the matter of withdrawing troops.

As soon as the word retreat was uttered, Wen Wu was puzzled for a while.

"Prime Minister, why are you retreating at this time?" Cheng Yu looked puzzled.

"Yes!" Cao Ren also said, "Our army has been victorious in successive battles, and our troops are in full swing. We are just waiting to attack Liyang City!"

Xiahou Dun also said, "Didn't you say you wanted to beat Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi a while ago?"

Xu You suddenly said: "Could it be that Mr. Cao Ji offered the strategy of retreating?"

"That's right!" Cao Cao nodded, "It's Mr. Cao Ji's plan!"

Cheng Yu was puzzled: "Prime Minister, does Mr. Cao Ji have any deep meaning?"

Cao Cao said: "Pretend to retreat, lure the enemy to go deep, fight with your back, and ambush on all sides!"

Cheng Yu: "This..."

Cao Ren frowned: "Why are these all idioms?"

Xun You cupped his hands: "Please ask the Prime Minister to explain it to us!"

"Hahaha!" Cao Cao laughed loudly, "Our army pretended to retreat, and the front army lay in ambush by the Yellow River. I will lead the rear army and lead the three brothers of the Yuan family to fight back here. The three brothers of the Yuan family will surely be defeated!"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone suddenly realized.

Cao Ren nodded: "This move is cruel enough!"

Cheng Yu also said: "It's more cruel to yourself than to the enemy!"

"This battle must be fought and won!" Cao Cao stood up and immediately said, "Yuan Xi and Yuan Tan should arrive in five days, and Cao Ren can lead the main force of the army to retreat to the Yellow River in three days to ambush!"

"Obey!" Cao Ren clasped his fists to signal.

Cao Cao said again: "Five days later, our army slowly withdrew from Cangting and led the three brothers of the Yuan family to chase after them!"

"Obey!" All the generals clasped their fists to signal.

Three days later, Cao Ren took the lead in withdrawing the main force from the Cangting Mountain camp, and lay in ambush by the Yellow River at night.

The news spread into Liyang City.

Guo Tu and Jiang Yiqu ran to see Yuan Shang.

"Young Master, Cao Cao saw that our army is powerful and has already withdrawn. It is a god-sent opportunity to send troops to counterattack at this time!"

"Yeah!" Yuan Shang nodded: "Although that's the case, my father is seriously ill, so I can't be childless before my bed!"

Guo Tu: "???"

Jiang Yiqu: "..."

Yuan Shangdao: "Cao Cao hasn't retreated yet? As soon as my elder brother and second brother arrived, they just joined forces and wiped out Cao Cao!"

"I'll take my leave!" Guo Tu and Jiang Yiqu clasped their fists together and exited the main hall.

Guo Tu gestured to Jiang Yiqu with his eyes, and the latter understood, and the two quietly came to the tavern in the city.

Jiang Yi's channel: "Mr. called me here, but there is something important to discuss?"

Guo Tudao: "I don't know if the general sees that the third son is timid to fight!"

"It seems to be a bit!" Jiang Yiqu nodded: "When Cao Cao sent troops to high-ranking officials, he had a chance to fight, but the young master declined. Now Cao Cao has a chance to retreat, and the young master still refuses!"

Guo Tu shook his head: "I think the third son has been frightened by Cao Jun and dare not fight Cao Cao at all!"

Jiang Yiqu asked, "Why did you say that?"

Guo Tu asked: "In the battle of Brokeback Mountain, Xin Ming died in the battle, but the third son only had one leg injury. Do you know why?"

"I don't know!" Jiang Yiqu shook his head.

Guo Tudao: "I heard that the young master took off his armor and hid in the pile of dead people pretending to be dead. Cao Jun's soldiers stabbed his legs with spears. He didn't move, so he escaped disaster!"

Jiang Yiqu was shocked: "Is there such a miracle?"

Guo Tudao: "I didn't believe it before, but now it seems that this must be true. The third son is no longer able to fight Cao Jun!"

Jiang Yiqu asked: "Then what should I do?"

Guo Tudao: "My lord is critically ill, who can succeed me?"

"Of course the eldest son!" Jiang Yiqu blurted out.

Guo Tu nodded: "I agree, you and I will lead troops out of Liyang City to vote for the eldest son, and help him enter the city to succeed!"

"Okay!" Jiang Yi nodded and slapped the table excitedly.

They did what they said, and that night the two opened the gate of Liyang City, and led thousands of soldiers and horses out of the city.
