Yuan Shu rejected Lu Bu's kindness to stay overnight and returned to the Wanshan Chamber of Commerce in Xiapi City.

All the generals under his command are stationed here, and their safety is absolutely guaranteed.

After all, the mission has not been completed yet, and Lu Bu has no loyalty to him.

If you live in the Wenhou Mansion, if Lu Bu is in a state of mind and leads his troops to surround him in the middle of the night, then you will be done.

In the inner courtyard of Wanshan Chamber of Commerce, Yuan Shu and Xi Zhicai talked at night here with candles.

The two of them brewed a pot of fragrant tea and drank it slowly.

Yuan Shu praised Xi Zhicai:

“Thanks to Zhicai today to carefully plan.

If it were one step at night, Xia Pi would be captured by Cao's thieves, and Lu Bu would undoubtedly die.

It's really thrilling!"

Xi Zhicai shook his folding fan and chuckled:

"Cao Cao's planner was Guo Jia, and Zhong also had a relatively good understanding of this old friend's character, so he made such a plan.

However, Cao Cao was originally a friend of the lord, so why did the lord call him a thief at this time?”

“Isn’t this accustomed to it?

Who made Cao Aman and this young master become enemies?"

Yuan Shu took another sip of tea and said to Xi Zhicai:

"Today we beat Cao Mengde up a lot.

Do you think he will retreat?"

Xi Zhicai asked:

"What do you think of the lord?"

"Now Xuzhou is a useless piece of money to Cao Cao.

It’s a pity to eat without meat.”

Yuan Shusi asked:

"But Cao Cao is a guy who feels at a loss if he doesn't take advantage of it.

He spent so much time fighting in Xuzhou, and he would definitely feel unwilling to give up after he retreated like this.

I guess this old guy will definitely fight us another match."

Xi Zhicai clasped his fists and said:

"The lord understands human nature and admires it.

With his loyalty, Cao Cao would definitely take advantage of the floods in Xia Pi to attack fiercely.

After a few days the water level recedes, he will have no chance."

Yuan Shu clenches his fists and says:

"If he dares to come again, I will continue to beat him up.

When I was young, I really thought that this young master gave him a face!"

Xi Zhicai looked at Yuan Shu's serious expression and couldn't help but smile on his face.

He witnessed the relationship between his king and Cao Cao with his own eyes.

When I was in Luoyang, I was really as good as wearing a pair of pants.

It’s a pity that in the face of the world’s general trend, the two finally embarked on different paths.

The next morning, it rained and clear.

Cao Cao personally led a large army to the east gate of Xiapi City to challenge the battle.

Confronting Yuan Shu and Lu Bu on the city wall.

Cao Cao was not afraid of the enemy's archers shooting himself. He took two steps forward and shouted at the city wall:

“Brother Highway!

Ah, no, it's King of Chu now.

The King of Chu has a noble status, but he still remembers his old friend?

I'm in a battle with Lu Bu, it's fine if you don't help me, my old friend.

Instead, it hurts me to support Lu Bup's husband!"

Listening to Cao Cao being sarcastic below, Yuan Shu shouted with a loudspeaker:

"Cao Aman, I haven't seen you learn bad things for a few years!

When the princes attacked Dong, you were still a good minister of the Han Dynasty.

Now, people are massacred in Xuzhou.

I'm right to help Lu Bu. If you don't slap your big ears, just laugh secretly!"

The muscles on Cao Cao's face couldn't help but twitch.

I originally thought that Yuan Shu would become more majestic after becoming the King of Chu, but now it seems that he is no different from the Luoyang playboy back then.

Yuan Shu did not play according to Cao Cao's routine at all, but Cao Cao had to continue to perform according to the script he planned.

He continued to say loudly to Yuan Shu:

"Since Brother Gaolu still knows an old friend, then I will hold a drink in front of the formation and ask Brother Gaolu to talk.

I wonder if Brother Gaolu is willing to come?

Don't worry, we are one-on-one, Cao can't beat you."

Cao Cao took the initiative to invite him, and Zhao Yun beside Yuan Shu said softly:

"Lord, Cao Cao has always been treacherous, and I'm afraid it's a fraud to invite you to talk to him.

I feel that the lord shouldn't have gone."

Yuan Shu thought to himself that as expected, Cao Thief really used this trick.

Didn't he know that it would be easy to capture him back to the city with his own strength?

He even dared to invite himself to meet alone.

In order to win a game, this guy began to take risks.

Yuan Shu said to Zhao Yun:

“I promised to meet one on one.

Cao Cao is not afraid, what is this king afraid of?

Can't I beat Cao Mengde?"

"this…"

Zhao Yun was speechless for a moment, and Yuan Shu took the opportunity to whisper to him:

"Yesterday, I and the Military Advisor Zhicai planned.

Cao Cao invited me to the banquet because he wanted to take advantage of the rising water level to attack Xia Pi.

Zhicai has already made arrangements, and you can just follow the orders later."

Zhao Yun then understood and said to Yuan Shu:

"The last order will be obtained!

Please pay attention to safety, lord.”

Yuan Shu waved his hand and said:

"Don't worry, just Cao Mengde's small physique, I want to plot against me for another two thousand years."

Soon, Cao's army had already inserted a large Qingluo umbrella between its own military formation and Xia Pi City, and a low table and cushion were placed under the umbrella.

Cao Cao sat upright on the cushion and waited for Yuan Shu to arrive.

Cao Cao was not wearing armor, wearing a brown brocade dress, and posed for reminiscing with his old friends.

After a while, Yuan Shu walked out of the city and slowly walked towards Cao Cao.

Yuan Shu was wearing a white robe, with a dragon jade belt hanging on his waist, and holding a piece of warm jade in his hand.

He looks extremely noble, just like the young master in Luoyang City back then.

Yuan Shu walked to the cushion and sat down, and said to Cao Cao:

"Cao Mengde, this young master is invited.

Tell me, what wine do you want to treat me today?
