The next day, dawn, Cao Ang ordered his troops to retreat to Xue County to guard, and he took Cao Pi away from the camp.

Just as Cao's army evacuated Xuzhou, a system prompt rang in Li Chen's mind.

[Cao army withdrew from Xuzhou, congratulations to the host on completing the first phase of the anti-Cao mission.]

【Task Rating: SS.】

[Task Reward: Diamond-grade blind box.]

"Good guy!" Hearing the diamond-grade blind box Li Chen, he was so happy.

Platinum-level blind boxes have been opened with big killing weapons like Li Siye and Mo Daoping. What should I do with this diamond-level blind box?

Without hesitation, Li Chen directly recited in his mind: "Open the blind box."

【Open the diamond blind box.】

[Diamond-level figure: Yuwen Chengdu.]

[Diamond character: Liu Bowen.]

"Happiness comes too fast, like a tornado?" Gao Fei was ecstatic and wished he could jump up.

Yuwen Chengdu, General Tianbao, the second hero of the Sui and Tang Dynasties. During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, his military power was second only to Li Yuanba's two fools.

Although Yuwen Chengdu is more powerful than Li Yuanba, if Li Chen wants to choose between the two, then there is no doubt that Li Chen will choose Yuwen Chengdu.

Because this is a war, not a battlefield. Although Li Yuanba is powerful, he is a fool. When he arrives on the battlefield, he will not distinguish between the enemy and the enemy. He will kill him indiscriminately, and it will be a double-edged sword.

Yuwen Cheng is really powerful. The phoenix wing in his hand weighs 400 kilograms. Moreover, he is not only skilled in martial arts, but also has natural divine power. Yuwen Cheng can lift a copper tripod of 5,400 kilograms, which shows his divine power.

"I don't know if Yuwen Chengdu can move his wrists with Lu Bu." Li Chen thought so in his heart.

If Yuwen Chengdu brought Li Chen a surprise, then Liu Bowen brought a bigger surprise. It is true that Li Chen lacks military generals now, but at least there are three people, Li Siye, Guan Sheng and Zang Ba, but only Chen Deng is the only one who is strategist.

Although Chen Deng is not bad, he is still much worse than Guo Jia, Jia Xu, Zhuge Liang and others. However, Liu Bowen's arrival directly made up for Li Chen's lack of counselors.

Later generations said that Zhuge Liang, the world was divided into three parts, and Liu Bowen was unified. There was no doubt that Liu Bowen must be a counselor who was not inferior to Zhuge Liang.

Li Chen has always been afraid of Guo Jia and Guo Fengxiao under Cao Cao. But now with Liu Bowen, Li Chen has less fear in his heart.

"Report..."

"Lord, there are two people and men outside the mansion who come to surrender." Just as Li Chen was stunned, a guard reported.

"Hurry, let them come in." Li Chen hurriedly ordered.

As soon as I opened a blind box, Yuwen Chengdu and Liu Bowen arrived. Not only did I come quickly, but I arrived together with both literary and military. Sure enough, a mature system, bundled sales is a compulsory homework.

Seven days later.

The news of hail falling from the sky destroying Cao's army has spread in Xuzhou City. Xuzhou, which was originally panicked, was surprisingly stable, and the morale of the army has also condensed a lot.

In this era, what is the fastest way to win over people? There is no doubt that it is feudal superstition.

No wonder in ancient times, people always had to find some reason for rebellion. For example, Liu Bang, the Emperor Gaozu of Han, killed the White Snake and rebelled, calling himself the son of the Red Emperor. For example, what happened later, don’t tell the stone man with one eye to provoke the Yellow River and the world’s rebellion.

Speaking of Cao's army, Cao Pi was seriously injured due to the successive defeat of the vanguard army. Cao Ang did not dare to attack rashly, so he ordered the army to withdraw from the Xue County area of ​​Yanzhou, and he led the unconscious Cao Pi to Xudu to report the situation of the war to his father Cao Cao.

Xudu is Xuchang in later generations. Now Yanzhou is Cao Cao's base camp, and Xudu, the largest city in Yanzhou, naturally became Cao Cao's place of growth.

In his previous life, when Cao Cao completely defeated Yuan Shao, he moved his capital from Xudu to Yecheng, and now Yecheng is Yuan Shao's base camp.

Xuzhou, Yunlong Palace.

"Lord, Lu Bu's prayer." Chen Deng handed a prayer to Li Chen and said softly.

Li Chen glanced at the prayer post, and it can be seen from the prayer post that Lu Bu was already chased by Cao Cao at this time. He heard that Li Chen occupied Xuzhou and defeated Cao Cao's vanguard troops twice. The meaning of Lu Bu's post was to let Li Chen give him a foothold in Xuzhou, and then the two of them merged to fight against Cao.

"It seems that Cao Cao has taken back Puyang, and his next goal is us." Li Chen pondered.

"Lord, I think it's better to give Xiaopei to Lu Bu." Chen Deng bowed his hand and said.

"Bowen, what do you think?" Li Chen turned his head and looked at Liu Bowen and asked.

"Xiao Pei's location is special. Once the Cao army attacks in large numbers, Xiao Pei will definitely face Cao's army directly. It would be okay to let Lu Bu station wherever he is." Liu Bowen said after pondering for a moment.

Xiaopei, also known as Peiguo. This place does not actually belong to the six counties of Xuzhou, but to Yuzhou. However, Xiaopei belongs to an enclave in Yuzhou, which is very far from Yuzhou. On the contrary, it is only about 90 miles away from Xuzhou, so it has always been the manager of Xuzhou.

When Xuzhou and Yanzhou were handed over, they were like a knife, inserted straight into Yanzhou. Therefore, once Cao Cao's army launched a large-scale attack, they would definitely take Xiaopei first to take Xuzhou. If this was not the case, then Xiaopei could cut off the Cao army's food route at any time.

Chen Deng and Liu Bowen both felt that Xiao Pei could be given to Lu Bu, firstly, Lu Bu could be allowed to share the pressure of Xuzhou, and secondly, although Li Chen occupied Xuzhou, his troops were actually gathered in Xuzhou City to resist Cao's army. The control of the six counties of Xuzhou was only nominal, let alone Xiao Pei.

Therefore, giving up Xiao Pei to Lu Bu is completely a plea to others.

Although Chen Deng and Liu Bowen both suggested this, Li Chen was actually a little hesitant. The key is that he knew the history of his previous life.

Lu Bu is a rebellious boy. In his previous history, Liu Bei gave up Xiao Pei to Lu Bu. Who knew that Lu Bu took advantage of the battle between Liu Bei and Cao Cao to sneak attack Xuzhou, and then in turn asked Liu Bei to guard Xiao Pei.

After thinking about it, Li Chen felt that he could not take this risk. If he could only fight against Cao Cao, he would be troublesome if he was stabbed by Lu Bu, a rebellious boy. He would rather resist Cao's army alone than ask Lu Bu, a pig teammate.

Ding Yuan and Dong Zhuo's affairs are still vivid in my mind, and the bloody lesson is right in front of me, and I have to increase my memory. Li Chen feels that he should send troops to expel Lu Bu.

Just when Li Chen was about to make a decision.

【System Task: Blind date with Diao Chan’s skin.】

Li Chen: "???"

"It's not good. Diao Chan can marry Lu Bu long ago. This is a serious wife. This task is a dilemma."

"If I do this task, wouldn't it make me like an LSP?" Li Chen thought to himself.

While thinking, Li Chen said, "Hey, I am fighting against Cao's army with Lu Bu, and I am both a worldly dying person. In case of trouble, how can I not save me?"

"As the two military advisors said, Bowen, you stay in Xuzhou to take charge of the overall situation. Yuanlong, you go with me to Xiaopei to welcome Lu Bu."
