The enemy wanted to lure Cai and Liu's coalition forces to a decisive battle outside Xuchang City, which was most beneficial to Xuzhou's army. Cao's army, which had voluntarily abandoned Xuchang City, did not have the strength and courage to counterattack, so it was suggested that Liu Huangshu not cross the Tishui River and immediately withdraw to Nanyang and wait.

It will mature and attack Xuchang again.

Liu Huangshu, who was born with Zhuge Liang, certainly believed in Zhuge Liang's judgment, but it was a pity that the Cai and Liu coalition forces were not led by Liu Huangshu, but by General Cai Mao. After successfully defeating the Xuzhou partial division, Cai Hao no longer paid much attention to the Xuzhou army.

Here, he also learned that the main force of Xuzhou suffered a lot of damage in the battle between Cao's army. In addition, the remnants of Cao's army who were forced to give up the city of Xuchang did not withdraw. General Cai Mao was inevitably more confident and insisted on taking advantage of the situation to capture Xuchang and take advantage of it.

Kill the Xuzhou army who dared to support Liu Qi and embarrass himself. Therefore, no matter how much Liu Huangshu persuaded and analyzed, General Cai Mao refused to withdraw his troops and insisted on crossing the Tong River to fight the Xuzhou army.

At the end of the persuasion, Cai Hao, who was not very good-tempered, simply lost his temper with Uncle Liu Huang and roared: "It was you who advised me to take advantage of the opportunity to capture Xuchang. Now that our army is only forty miles away from Xuchang, it is you who advised me to withdraw my troops!"

Are you the commander-in-chief of the Northern Expedition? Or am I the commander-in-chief? Don’t forget! Before our army set off for the expedition, my sister-in-law told me that you should obey my orders!"

"Yes, Uncle Emperor, I really don't know what you have to worry about?" Young General Huang She, who made a comeback, also said: "Apart from an army of extremely shameless villains, what else can be scary about the Xuzhou bandit army?

Besides, the remnants of the Cao bandits have not yet withdrawn from Xuchang. The Cao bandits hate the Tao bandits to their very core. Our army is attacking the Xuzhou bandit army. How could he not take the opportunity to add insult to injury and seek revenge from the Tao bandits?"

"Although my nephew's words are reasonable, I'm afraid Cao Cao doesn't have the courage and ability." Liu Huangshu said with a wry smile: "Although our army has not found out the specific details, it has been confirmed that Cao Cao took the initiative to give up Xuchang in exchange for

The Tao thieves let him lead the remaining troops to leave, which shows that the Cao thieves no longer have the courage to continue fighting with the Tao thieves. Before our army finds out what deal Tao and Cao thieves have reached, it is best for our army to be on the safe side.

It’s easy to cross the Lishui River without risk.”

"With the support of our army, the Cao thief will become bolder if he doesn't have the courage!" Cai Mao stood up and yelled: "I have made up my mind. The army will cross the river today and camp on the east bank of the Tong River to prepare for a decisive battle with the Tao thief.

! Send people to sneak into Cao’s camp overnight and contact Cao’s troops to attack Tao’s troops!”
