When Lu Bu's head was brought up, Zhang Liao's eyes were filled with tears. Just now, he saw Lu Bu nodding to him. Before he died, Lu Bu was still the man who looked down on the world. He scolded him before he died to separate his relationship and give Zhang Liao and others a way out.

The hero is in the end of the world. Lu Bu, a generation of war gods disappears!

Lu Bu is dead, Cao Cao looks at the two loyal and brave generals he left behind, Zhang Liao and Gao Shun.

"Are the two generals willing to join our army?"

Cao Cao knew that Gao Shun was the commander of the camp and Zhang Liao was a capable general under Lu Bu. If he could recruit him, he would be of great help to the growth of Cao's strength. At least this way, if Cao's army had a camp, he would not be afraid of Wu Shun's White Tiger Camp.

"Thank you for your kindness, we are just willing to follow your lord underground!"

Gao Shun's loyalty to Lu Bu was pure. Lu Bu was dead and he was unwilling to vote for others.

Seeing that Cao Cao didn't say anything, Zhang Liao knew that he was weighing the pros and cons. So he asked:

"I dare to ask Mr. Cao, will Gao Shun and I have only two choices to surrender or die?"

Lu Bu died because of Cao Cao, and Zhang Liao did not want to surrender to Cao Cao. If Cao Cao asked them to make a choice, Zhang Liaoning would rather die in the name of loyalty and righteousness.

"General Zhang Liao, I, Cao Cao, don't like to force it, but the general's courage really makes me moved. If the general feels wronged, he can leave."

When recruiting military generals, Cao Cao knew that he could not force them. Lu Bu was dead and had to conquer his generals, so it was time.

The most important thing at the moment is to make Zhang Liao and Gao Shun feel at ease and avoid making any dangerous moves.

"Gao Shun only wants to follow his lord underground. Cao Gong's good intentions have to accept it."

Zhang Liao was still considering it, and Gao Shun had already expressed his feelings. Because of Lu Bu, he would rather be buried with Lu Bu.

"General Gao Shun, don't be impulsive!"

After hearing Gao Shun's words of asking for death, Zhang Liao quickly advised him in a low voice:

"Only by living there is hope!"

As a minister, you should be loyal to him. Zhang Liao wanted to avenge Lu Bu, but he knew that impulse could not solve the problem.

"Two generals, please go down and rest first. After you figure it out, you will reply to Cao."

Seeing that he could not conquer Zhang Liao and Gao Shun on the spot, Cao Cao no longer wasted his time. It would definitely be inappropriate to let these two people go. House arrest is the best way.

In order to win the hearts of Zhang Liao and Gao Shun, Cao Cao did not restrict the activities of the two. As long as it was not within Cao Cao's control, Zhang Liao and Gao Shun's actions were free.

"Wen Yuan, can there be a way to avenge the Lord Gong?"

In the big tent, Gao Shun asked Zhang Liao. Zhang Liao just said that there was hope only when he was alive, which touched Gao Shun. He ignited hope to avenge Lu Bu.

"General Gao Shun, there is only one way to avenge the Lord's Communiqué."

Zhang Liao said.

"What's the solution?"

Gao Shun said curiously.

"Go to Yizhou and join the Wuling Army. Lord Wu of Yizhou has always targeted Liu Bei and was also secretly guarding against Cao Cao, which is an enemy but not a friend. If you want to deal with Cao Cao and Liu Bei, it is the ideal way to use the power of Yizhou."

Zhang Liao expressed his thoughts. Yizhou's desire for talents was greater than other princes, and Yizhou and Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and even Yuan Shao would have to decide sooner or later. Is Gao Shun and Zhang Liao joining the Wuling Army the best choice?

"But now we are deeply trapped in Cao's camp, how can we get out?"

It is indeed a good choice to defect to Yizhou. Wu Shun, the governor of Yizhou, is not a person who is afraid of trouble. Therefore, Gao Shun also recognized Zhang Liao's ideas.

"There will always be a chance to escape from Cao's camp."

Zhang Liao said confidently.

...

He conquered Xia Pi and killed Lu Bu. Xuzhou was basically owned by Cao Cao. Liu Bei's power was extremely weak in front of Cao's army.

Under Cao Cao's instruction, Liu Bei led the governor of Xuzhou, and the capital was moved from Xia Pi City to Pengcheng, and Pengcheng was renamed Xuzhou City.

Yuan Shao in the north put too much pressure on Cao Cao. After confirming the matter in Xuzhou, Cao Cao returned to the army to deal with Yuan Shao. As for Xuzhou, he could only take advantage of Liu Bei.

If Yuan Shao knew that Cao Cao had occupied Xuzhou, he would definitely be rushing troops south and prevent Cao Cao from having time to digest Xuzhou. If the governor of Xuzhou was Liu Bei, Yuan Shao might not act rashly. To send troops, at least he must be completely sure.

"Brother, Cao Cao is abominable. Why should I move the capital to Pengcheng?"

After Cao Cao left, Zhang Fei finally vented his resentment.

Xia Pi was seized by his elder brother Liu Bei, and Xuzhou should be owned by Liu Bei. Liu Bei should have the final say in the location of the capital. Cao Cao wanted to intervene, which made Zhang Fei feel very uncomfortable.

"Third brother, we are weak at the moment and can only rely on our breath. After we have completely mastered Xuzhou, we will have the final say on how to act."

Liu Bei was full of confidence in taking control of Xuzhou completely. He understood the current situation and Cao Cao did not dare to annex Xuzhou at this stage. This gave him the opportunity to develop his strength.

...

Yizhou, the General's Mansion in the West.

Wu Shun found Diao Chan and told him the news of Lu Bu's death.

"Sir, can Xiu'er worship Mr. Wen?"

Diao Chan was grateful for Lu Bu's kindness and wanted to worship Lu Bu's soul. But he was also afraid that Wu Shun would feel uncomfortable, so he sought Wu Shun's opinion first. If Wu Shun did not agree, she would give up.

"Xiu'er, although Lu Bu is not very good, he is sincere to you. It's okay to worship him, but he fulfills his wish."

The deceased is the greatest, and Wu Shun will not argue with the dead Lu Bu. After Diao Chan worships, it is also a good thing to remove the knot in her heart.

"Thank you sir!"

Seeing that Wu Shun did not object, Diao Chan hurriedly thanked him. The person living in Diao Chan's heart was never Lu Bu. But Lu Bu had saved her after all, and Diao Chan felt unhappy if she didn't worship her.

Yecheng, Hebei.

After Yuan Shao learned that Cao Cao had defeated Lu Bu, he was very unhappy. While secretly cursing Lu Bu's uselessness, he was also considering whether to send troops to attack Cao Cao.

"Everyone, Cao Cao captured Xuzhou and Lu Bu was killed by him. Now the only one who can threaten Cao Mengde is Jiangdong Sun Ce. How should our army deal with it?"

The growth of Cao Cao's strength is something that Hebei Group does not want to see. Especially Yuan Shao, who grew up with Cao Cao since childhood, knows that if the gap in strength decreases, Cao Cao would not be afraid of himself.

"Lord, you cannot let Cao Cao develop his strength with peace of mind. You should send troops to put appropriate pressure on Cao Cao."

Xu You went out and said. He and Cao Cao had a good relationship, both of them grew up together. They were very familiar with each other.

"What do you think?"

It is necessary to put pressure on Cao Cao, and Yuan Shao also tends to send troops. If Cao Cao is allowed to grow, it will pose a threat to the Hebei Group?

"Lord, if the cold land is cold today, it is not suitable for military use. According to subordinates, it is not weak to use military use next year."

Ju Shu’s opinion is that winter is not suitable for large-scale combat, and it is cold and freezing in winter, and the logistics pressure is too great, so it is unwise to use troops.

"Then we will send troops next year to guide Henan and other places."

In the end, Yuan Shao set the general policy and prepared to warm up next year before sending troops to deal with Cao Cao. There will always be a battle in Henan and Hebei, which is an inevitable fateful battle.

If Yuan Shao wants to grow and grow, he can only expand southward. This will intensify the conflict with Cao Cao. Similarly, if Cao Cao wants to develop, he must first block the pressure from Hebei.

A battle between Cao and Yuan was inevitable. Although Wu Shun was eyeing him in the Southwest, it was appropriate to have a far-reaching relationship with each other and attack near.

Zhang Liao and Gao Shun were brought back to Xudu by Cao Cao, and they were treated with good wine and meat. They showed enough sincerity and just waited for the two of them to change their minds. They could join Cao's army camp.

Unfortunately, Cao Cao overestimated his charm and underestimated Zhang Liao and Gao Shunti's determination to take revenge.

On a dark and windy night, Zhang Liao and Gao Shun disguised themselves and secretly stole Xu Du and went to Yizhou.
