Because of something, Ailang did not stay at Huang Zhong's house for too long. He left the Huiyi House at noon. Halfway through, several people saw Ailang and Dian Wei. The middle-aged man in charge stared at Ailang's back and showed a very surprised expression on his face. The man's name is Zumao, and he is Sun Jian's confidant general. He is now on behalf of Sun Jian to envoy Xiangyang. This man had participated in the war against Dong Zhuo and met Lu Bu. He did not expect to meet Lu Bu in Xiangyang. He was very surprised and thought he had read it wrong?

A follower asked, "General, what's wrong?"

Zu Mao frowned and said, "That person seems to be Lu Bu!" Everyone was shocked, and one of them said in disbelief: "How could Lu Bu run to Jingzhou?"

Zu Mao thought, "Lu Bu is determined to join forces with Liu Biao to deal with us. It is no coincidence that this person appears here. Maybe Lu Bu and Liu Biao are planning a conspiracy against us!" Everyone was shocked and asked, "What should I do?"

Zu Mao pondered for a moment and sneered: "This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If we kill Lu Bu in Xiangyang, Xuzhou will inevitably be angry and launch an army to conquer Jingzhou. Then we can sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight and reap the benefits of the fisherman."

One person said, "But Lu Bu is invincible, how can we kill him?"

Zu Mao sneered, "It's not that you want to fight him on the battlefield! He must not know that we have noticed that he has come to Xiangyang! We have a plan but no intention, and this matter will be at least 80% better!" Then he ordered the two followers: "You follow up immediately, monitor Lu Bu's every move, and repay any situation immediately." The two of them responded and followed Ailang and Dian Wei.

When Ai Lang returned to the tent, Wang Dong immediately came to report: "Lord, Cai Mao came here in person just now and said that because Liu Biao sent him an urgent matter, the banquet tonight had to be cancelled. He came to express his apology."

Ailang didn't care, but felt that there was only one less trouble. After saying oh, she sat cross-legged on a coffee table. Ailang thought that Zhuge Liang didn't know where he was. Staying there would be a waste of time. However, after recruiting Huang Zhong, he also got Huang Wudie, a big beauty who can stand out in modern society, which was a great achievement. He didn't want to waste time here, so he said to Wang Dong: "If nothing happens, we will go back in two days!"

Wang Dong hurriedly said: "The alliance has been completed, but there is another thing."

"What's up?"

"Cai Mao came here just now. In addition to apologizing, he also hoped that we could stay for a few more days. It was said that the lord's improved water truck in Wolonggang made Nanyang Huang Chengyan admire him very much, and hoped to ask the lord for related matters. Huang Chengyan is already on the way to Xiangyang."

Ailang was a very good guy in modern society. Since the other party asked so, he couldn't bear to refuse and said, "That's it! Okay, let's stay for a few more days!" Then he asked, "Who is this Huang Chengyan? It seems that he has heard of it?" Ailang's impression actually comes from the plot in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". Huang Chengyan is Huang Yueying's father, Zhuge Liang's father-in-law. He only appeared a few times, and he was full of soy sauce roles. Therefore, although Ailang had a little impression, he couldn't remember who he was.

When Wang Dong heard Ai Lang's question, he quickly explained: "Huang Chengyan's wife is the sister of Liu Biao's wife Cai. She is both in-laws and Liu and Cai."

Ailang muttered: "It's so complicated!"

In fact, Cai Mao did not receive any urgent task, but just used this reason to cancel the banquet tonight. The reason for this is that Huang Yueying and Huang Yueying originally wanted to ask Ailang for some agency matters, but with the help of his aunt Cai, the matter turned into a blind date. This made Huang Yueying embarrassed and begged Cai to cancel the banquet tonight. However, Huang Yueying did not want to miss the opportunity to ask Ailang for advice, so she sent someone to Nanyang to invite her father. This could be said that her father came to ask Ailang for advice. She was just accompanying her father, so that people would not misunderstand it.

The sight temporarily turned to the north.

Liu Bei fooled Cao Cao and deceived 20,000 troops. He immediately led his two brothers to Yangping with his family and led the 20,000 troops to Yangping. Cao Cao immediately regretted it after he woke up. However, he was sober that he was unwilling to admit his mistake, and he also wanted to take this opportunity to see if Liu Bei and the other two really surrendered to him or falsely, so he did not send anyone to recover Liu Bei and the other two.

However, something beyond Cao Cao's expectations happened. As soon as Liu Bei arrived in Yangping, he immediately took out the emperor's bloody edict, claiming that Cao Cao was a traitor. He was ordered to fight against the rebellion and led Yangping to Yuan Shao to form the so-called "anti-rebellion army". At the same time, Liu Bei also used the military talismans obtained from Cao Cao to trick the city gates of Yang and Leping in nearby Dongwu, and seized two places in one fell swoop. Then he called on Liaocheng to break up two cities and join him in secret to support the Han Dynasty. The guards of the two places saw that the situation was not good and that Yuan Shao's reinforcements of 50,000 people had arrived nearby. He knew that there was only a dead end to resist, so he all raised the city to surrender. It can be said that overnight, the five cities centered on Yangping changed their flags and broke away from Cao Cao's rule.

Cao Cao received the urgent report and was so angry that he smoked his orifices, but he laughed and cursed: "What a big-eared thief who weaves mats and shoes! He actually made me a move! It's hateful!!"

The generals were also angry, and Cao Ren clasped his fists and said, "Prime Minister, the last general is willing to lead 50,000 troops to regain the lost territory and raise Liu Bei's head to see him!" Xu Chu, Yu Jin, Le Jin and others all went out to fight, and they all vowed to recover the lost territory and capture Liu Bei alive.

Cao Cao laughed and said, "Do you think I'm angry? Actually, I'm not angry at all! All this was as expected!"

When the generals heard this, their anger was relieved a lot. They all thought that the Prime Minister had always been very intelligent and perhaps had some long-term plans. They all looked at Cao Cao and waited for Cao Cao to show him.

Cao Cao said, "Everyone will go to you and prepare for the battle with Yuan Shao next year according to the established policy! Don't think about anything else!" Everyone bowed and agreed.

After the meeting, Cao Cao left Guo Jia and Xun Yu and said with a smile: "As you expected, Liu Bei's big-eared thief really rebelled against me! I originally thought he was a hero, but now I realized that he was just a villain! But he was so sinister that I didn't expect that he was such a powerful person! I must be more careful with him in the future!"

Guo Jia said: "Although the loss of Yangping is not a big impact on us, it will have a significant blow to our morale. I think Liu Bei should be eliminated as soon as possible to retake Yangping. "

Xun Yu said: "What Fengxiao said is very true. Liu, Guan and Zhang are not ordinary people. If we wait until the war comes, they will become a huge threat to our side. We should be eliminated as soon as possible to concentrate on dealing with Yuan Shao."

Cao Cao patted his head and said, "I also want to solve Liu, Guan and Zhang first, but this matter is not easy to do! There are 30,000 rebels in Liu, Guan and Zhang, plus Yuan Shao's reinforcements, a total of 80,000 people! To solve them, I have to use 150,000 troops, I am afraid that before I capture Yangping, Yuan Shao's army, we will arrive!"

Guo Jia smiled and said, "No need to attack! Yang Ping can go down without fighting!" Cao Cao was surprised and asked with a smile, "Is Fengxiao a magical plan?"

Guo Jia smiled and said, "I can't do magic, but..." Then he explained his plan in detail. Cao Cao praised his clever plan and then said resolutely: "Okay! I'll deal with the big-eared thief Liu Bei in this severe winter season! Wen Ruo, go and order Yu Jinlejin to gather the army and wait for the order at any time." Xun Yu bowed and went there hurriedly.

Cao Cao stood up and said ruthlessly: "It's time for me to greet our good emperor!" Guo Jia couldn't help but sigh: "Liu Bei knew that public blood edict would put the emperor in danger, but he still wanted to do so. This person's hypocrisy and cruelty is truly unmatched!" Cao Cao laughed and said, "He won't succeed! I just want to complain to the little emperor!" As he said that, he walked outside. Guo Jia shook his head and smiled bitterly, and followed.

When the emperor heard that Cao Cao had arrived until his bedroom, he quickly came out. Seeing Cao Cao wearing casual clothes and only a scholar was following him, he couldn't help but feel a little relieved and clasped his fists and said, "I don't know what the hell is there?"

Cao Cao smiled and said, "The old minister is just here to ask His Majesty if he is dissatisfied with the old minister?"

The emperor hurriedly said, "The Prime Minister is a pillar of the country. My benefactor. If there is no Prime Minister, I may still be drifting around!"

Cao Cao suddenly glared and shouted, "Since that's the case, why do you want to join forces with outsiders to harm me?!"

The emperor did not expect Cao Cao to suddenly get angry, and was so scared that he collapsed, collapsed to the ground, and said in terror: "Where does the Prime Minister start with this?"

Cao Cao said: "Start with the bloody edict you gave to Liu Bei!"

When the emperor heard this, he was so scared that he could not speak.

Cao Cao said, "I really didn't expect it! I am loyal to you to the emperor, but you hate me so much in your heart, and you wish you would get rid of it!"

"No, no, no matter how! Prime Minister, don't listen to others provoking the relationship between you and me, the monarch and minister!" The emperor could only deny it blindly. Seeing Cao Cao staring at him, he couldn't help but tremble all over his body, feeling like a sheep stared at by a tiger.

Cao Cao suddenly laughed and said, "I think so! I am loyal to Your Majesty. If Your Majesty does such a thing, wouldn't it be a grudge and revenge? What qualifications are there for such a ruthless and unrighteous person to be the emperor!" The emperor felt like he fell into an ice cave and could not speak.

Cao Cao stepped forward to support the emperor, but the emperor subconsciously trembled for a moment and wanted to avoid it. Cao Cao grabbed the emperor's arm and helped him up, and smiled and said, "Since the misunderstanding between you and my monarch and ministers has been solved, it's nothing! Your Majesty doesn't have to worry about anything!" The emperor bent.

Cao Cao let go of the emperor, took two steps back, and said with his fists: "Your Majesty, since Liu Bei and Yuan Shao falsely passed the imperial edict, please ask Your Majesty to issue an imperial edict to face it!"
