Xiaopei, in the main hall of the city, Lu Bu and Chen Gong bowed and listened to the edict being read out at the Xiaohuang Gate.

Xiao Huangmen looked at Lu Bu with a look of joy on his face, handed him the edict in his hand, and then left Xuzhou.

Lu Bu held the edict in his hand, looked at Chen Gong with a happy face, and said happily.

"Now that the emperor has named me Xuzhou Mu, what do you think of it, Gongtai?"

Chen Gong knew that this was Cao Cao's plan to kill two tigers. It was very vicious, but it was good for Lu Bu. He couldn't tolerate them being unmoved. After thinking for a moment, he said.

"Now that Fengxian has been appointed by the imperial court, it is natural that he is justified. Liu Bei will definitely be wary of him and ask the general to take preemptive action and take charge of Xuzhou!"

Lu Bu was overjoyed and laughed loudly.

"The words of Gongtai are very suitable to my liking!"

Wei Zhongdao did not let Liu Bei go because of this. He knew that Lu Bu had too few troops to resist Liu Bei who controlled Xuzhou. He gave Cao Cao an idea and ordered Liu Bei to attack Yuan Shu. He was not worried about whether Liu Bei would obey the order. After all, Liu Bei

He considered himself a member of the Han clan, and when faced with the emperor's edict, he had to obey it no matter how reluctant he was.

Sure enough, Liu Bei received the emperor's edict and had to obey it. He handed over Xuzhou to Zhang Fei for guarding, personally ordered his troops and went to attack Yuan Shu.

Zhang Fei was addicted to alcohol and forced Cao Bao to drink. Cao Bao refused and was whipped. He even ignored Chen Deng and other descendants of the Xuzhou family and blindly forced them to drink with him, which caused undercurrents among major forces in Xuzhou.

.

Cao Bao was beaten fifty lashes by Zhang Fei and was deeply hurt. He hated Zhang Fei deeply and wrote a letter overnight and sent it to Xiaopei.

Zhang Fei fled in embarrassment, and Liu Bei lost Xuzhou. He had to compromise again, bowed to Lu Bu, and stationed in Xiaopei. The host and guest were in different places.

Cao Cao heard about the battle in Xuzhou and was about to raise troops to attack Lu Bu personally. Zhang Ji suddenly led troops from Guanzhong to attack Nanyang and was shot to death by Liu Biao. Zhang Ji's nephew Zhang Xiu led the troops and used Jia Xu as an adviser to liaise with Liu Biao.

, stationed troops in Wancheng, and wanted to raise troops to invade the palace and seize control.

Cao Cao immediately had no other choice but to raise an army of 150,000 to attack Zhang Xiu himself. He divided his army into three groups, with Xia Houyuan as the vanguard. His troops arrived at the village of Jishui.

After Jia Xu heard about it, he gave Zhang Xiu advice.

"Cao Cao is so powerful that we are definitely no match for him. We might as well surrender. I believe Cao Cao will reward the general greatly!"

Zhang Xiu was also in awe of Cao Cao at this time. Hearing Jia Xu's advice, he thought for a moment and felt it was reasonable, so he surrendered on the spot before Cao Cao arrived, which surprised Cao Cao.

Wei Zhongdao was also accompanying him this time, his eyes sizing up the new figure who appeared behind Cao Cao, a big black man, tall and strong, as strong as an ox, with bulging muscles on his body, which made Wei Zhongdao smack his lips.

Cao Cao had a smile in his eyes. Seeing Wei Zhongdao staring at Dian Wei, he couldn't help but smile to himself and said aloud.

"Zhongdao, this is my newly acquired general Dian Wei. His martial arts is superb and his talents are as good as those of ancient evil spirits!"

Wei Zhongdao then withdrew his gaze, making Dian Wei no longer nervous. He turned to look at Cao Cao, nodded without saying anything.

Cao Cao became interested, with a trace of doubt in his eyes, and asked curiously.

"In the past, Zhongdao was just lazy and playful. Why did he suddenly ask to march with me this time?"

When Wei Zhongdao heard this, something strange flashed in his eyes. Looking at Cao Cao's face, he turned his gaze to Cao Ang, who was standing behind Cao Cao. He grinned, showing his white teeth, and said something shocking.

"Mr. Cao, I have a lot of knowledge and have done some research on astrology and fortune. I think there will be a big difficulty on Gong Cao's trip, so I have to come!"

Cao Cao laughed when he heard this, didn't take it seriously, and said to Wei Zhongdao.

"Zi Buyu has strange powers and confuses the gods! Zhongdao is joking!"

"Now that Zhang Xiu has surrendered, how can I be in trouble!"

Wei Zhongdao did not argue, but looked at Cao Cao with a very strange look, and said again.

"The red luan star moves, Mr. Cao, I'm afraid he will be blessed with a lot of luck this time!"

These words were so meaningless that people didn't know how to respond. Cao Cao just thought Wei Zhongdao was joking and didn't take it to heart.

Cao Cao and his entourage entered Wancheng and met Zhang Xiu. Cao Cao comforted him and hosted a banquet in honor of him. Cao Cao got drunk. After Zhang Xiu left, he asked his nephew Cao Anmin to arrange for someone to sleep with him.

Cao Anmin reported the beauty of Zhang Xiu's aunt Zou to Cao Cao. Cao Cao, the married woman, was so restless that she couldn't hold back anymore and was about to make a move. She actually entered Zou's room and slept together in the same bed. She was so happy.

The next day, Cao Cao was worried about being suspected by Zhang Xiu, so he moved outside the city. He met with the Zou family every day, having fun and playing without thinking about his return date.

How could the two of them hide this from Zhang Xiu? When Zhang Xiu learned about it, he was furious. Cao Cao had gone too far. Not long after his uncle Zhang Jigang died, Cao Cao occupied his aunt.

His uncle was intolerable.

Zhang Xiu went to Jia Xu to discuss countermeasures. Jia Xu remembered that Zhang Ji's uncle and nephew were very respectful to him, so he also helped him plan.

"Cao Cao is powerful and needs to be cautious. The general can report to Cao Cao tomorrow and move the central army!"

Zhang Xiu accepted Jia Xu's suggestion and asked Cao Cao to move the Chinese army the next day. Cao Cao felt somewhat guilty about sleeping with Zhang Ji's aunt, so he readily agreed without thinking too much.

Wei Zhongdao watched with cold eyes and did not expose Zhang Xiu. He wanted to take this opportunity to teach Lao Cao a lesson so that he would not be able to control his belt in the future and seduced other wives at every turn.

Of course Wei Zhongdao would not stand idly by and secretly found Xia Houyuan and made some arrangements. Although Xia Houyuan did not understand the meaning, he had always been extremely convinced of Wei Zhongdao and acted according to orders without hesitation.

Wei Zhongdao finally returned to his tent with confidence, sat at the table, looked at the night, and sighed quietly.

"It's not Zhang Xiu's fault, Lao Cao is so unkind in what he does. I really can't bear it!"

Zhang Xiu then moved the central army to the camp and divided it into four villages. Because he was afraid of Dian Wei's bravery and was eager to approach, he summoned the general Hu Che'er for discussion. Hu Che'er was born with the power to carry a thousand pounds and travel eight hundred miles a day.

"Tomorrow I'm going to invite Dian Wei to drink and get him drunk. If you send him back to the camp and steal his halberds, the threat will be greatly reduced, and we can make it happen!"

On the night of the second day, Dian Wei was indeed drunk and was sent back to the camp by Hu Che'er without arousing suspicion from others. After a while, Hu Che'er stole Dian Wei's weapons and returned to Zhang Xiu. Zhang Xiu immediately

They launched an attack on Cao Cao's camp. Fires were everywhere, arrows were missing like rain, and for a while the whole camp was filled with the sound of fighting.

Cao Cao was startled. He quickly got up from Zou's side, put on his armor, looked at the messy camp, realized that something was wrong, and shouted to Dian Wei.
Chapter completed!
