The moment when the Thunderbolt car smashed the east wall of Tancheng, two green lights floated out of Tancheng instantly. It was obvious that Liu Bei used his skills to teleport himself and Cao Ang to run away.

Cao Ren fled in the chaos army. After all, tens of thousands of Cao Cao's army dispersed everywhere after the city was broken. Cao Ren changed his clothes and smuggled into the soldiers and sneaked out. With his strength, as long as he did not meet the top masters, ordinary soldiers could not stop him.

Cao Hong was caught because even if he escaped in a scattered manner, someone would need to be in charge of command. If he really ran away like a tree, he would basically not be able to escape.

However, for Li Qingyuan, Cao Hong is not very useful. Although this guy was very prosperous in Wei State in the later period, he is now just Cao Cao's clan and is not an important figure among the Cao family.

Because if he is really important, then Cao Ren should have covered him and ran away just now!

So Li Qingyuan just thought for three seconds and decided to imprison Cao Hong first, and he didn't even have the interest to interrogate the other party.

Anyway, he can't surrender, so why do he have to waste his efforts?

After capturing Yu Tan County City, Li Qingyuan immediately ordered his subordinates to start recapturing the county towns below, and at the same time, he sent Taishi Ci to lead a 100,000 army to Xiaoguan immediately to try to see if he could defeat Xiaoguan before Cao Cao arrived.

Although there are many places at the junction of Yanzhou and Xuzhou, even if you don’t go to other places in Xiaoguan, Xiaoguan is the most convenient passage between the two states. If you can occupy it, you can at least restrain the Cao Cao army’s baggage convoy.

However, Li Dian also knew that Xiaoguan was very important, so he had prepared various cities and strengthened the city walls. Taishi Ci led his troops to attack the city for ten days without any significant results.

Then on the eleventh day, Cao Cao finally led the army to feel Xiaoguan!

At the same time, Yu Tan County appeased the local people and wealthy families, and also came to Xiaoguan.

As the bosses of both sides, naturally, they can’t start the game just by coming up, that’s too unparalleled.

Besides, Li Qingyuan and Cao Cao had a friendship with each other back then. The two sides had participated in the battle against Dong Alliance together, and they had some friendship. So they built a high platform outside Xiaoguan City, and the head coaches of both sides took two guards to the stage to talk.

Li Qingyuan called Zhou Tai and Taishi Ci. It was true that Wei Yan was eager to attend this meeting, but he was still a little short of his strength in terms of hard power.

However, judging from Wei Yan's expression, I guess this kid doesn't know what a messy idea is going on!

Li Qingyuan thought he would lead Guan Yu, but unexpectedly, behind Cao Cao was a yellow-faced man and his old friend Xiahou Dun.

How does one say a proverb?

Xiahou Dun never won the war and was promoted. He won one game and was promoted once, but he was better off. He lost one time and was promoted once!

However, Li Qingyuan, the young man from Cao Cao, had no interest in him. He looked at the yellow-faced strong man behind Cao Cao, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

As expected, he is indeed the legendary Emperor Wu of Wei, and he is simply comparable to a talent attraction!

I have tried my best to recruit people, but there are countless talents who take the initiative to join me when I stay at home, which is really incomparable.

"Brother Meng De, long time no see, I'm still so energetic!"

Li Qingyuan looked at Cao Cao who was not angry and arrogant in front of him and greeted with a smile.

Cao Cao looked at Li Qingyuan standing in front of him with some depression, and felt the deep malice emitted by this guy.

"If you have something to do, let's sit down and talk!"

Cao Cao resisted the urge to raise his head and said to Li Qingyuan's shoulder.

There is no way, Cao Cao's height has always been one of the big black spots in later generations. Although the height of 1.65 meters is above the standard in the Three Kingdoms era, compared with the average height of those top military generals and advisers, it is almost difficult for Cao Cao to stand in the crowd to discover.

"Brother Meng De, I have been appointed as the new Xuzhou Governor by the court, so this time your subordinates invaded our Xuzhou without permission. Should we calculate the economic losses?"

Li Qingyuan sat opposite Cao Cao, while Taishi Ci, Zhou, Taidian, Wei, Xiahou Dun stood in four directions, each of whom was angry and posing to intimidate each other.

Lu Su had already rushed back two days ago and brought the new imperial edict from the court.

Now Li Qingyuan is now certified by the imperial court as the governor of Xuzhou. In a legal sense, it is more reasonable than Yuan Shao's fellow Yizhou Annexation Prefecture.

Because Yuan Shao was not afraid of the small court in Chang'an, all his titles were self-proclaimed!

Of course, because Yuan Shao is strong in his army, no matter whether his title is self-appointed or enthroned by the court, the effect is actually the same.

"Brother Tianxuan, it would be boring if you say this. Everyone knows what the situation is in Chang'an now. No wonder, I will give Qingzhou to me now, and you are willing to give Qingzhou to me?"

Cao Cao stroked his beard with some disdain. In fact, he had long wanted to use the emperor to command the princes. After all, the small court was still the common ruler of the world in name. If he could get the appointment letter from Xuzhou Mu before Li Qingyuan, then no matter what, he would definitely have an advantage in morality and legal principles, right?

Unfortunately, in history, Lu Bu first ran to Qingzhou and then turned to Xuzhou, so that Cao Cao's troops could enter Chang'an from Yanzhou without any obstacles, so that he could steal the small court and Emperor Xian of Han from Guo Si and Li Jue.

Now, Qingzhou and Xuzhou are his territory. Even if Lu Bu is in a bad mind, he will not cross thousands of miles to fight against Li Qingyuan, so he has to fight with Cao Cao in Sili.

Although Lu Bu had only tens of thousands of Bingzhou cavalry who followed him, and there were not even decent strategists, even if Cao Cao had the invincible Lu Bu, the Gao Shun's camp, and Zhang Liao, the leader of the five good generals in the future, even if Cao Cao had all his elite troops, he could not defeat the opponent in a short time.

So now Cao Cao is stuck on all sides. Li Qingyuan is on the east side, Yuan Shu is on the south side, Yuan Shao is on the north side, and Lu Bu is on the west side!

He couldn't afford to offend both sides of the north and south, so he could only try to develop in the east and west direction. Who would have thought that he was still fighting with Lu Bu, and Li Qingyuan actually settled the entire Xuzhou in minutes.

Originally, according to the inference of Cao Cao's think tank group, even if Li Qingyuan could occupy most of Xuzhou in a short period of time, Yuan Shu was not a good thing to do with. They only needed to occupy one in Tan County to watch the tiger fight, allowing the Qingzhou army and Yuan Shu army to fight each other, and they could still get a bargain at that time.
