"Miaocai, look at you like this, why are you so anxious?
Don't be so anxious.
You know that rabbits will bite when they are anxious.
Let's not push too hard."
Cao Cao looked at Xia Houyuan beside him, who looked nervous and somewhat puzzled.
Looking at Liu Bei's fleeing figure, he stroked his beard and said in a calm tone.
"But, they are a threat."
Although Xia Houyuan has followed Cao Cao for many years, he still can't understand what Cao Cao is thinking.
Looking at Liu Bei's disappearing shadow, he said to Cao Cao urgently.
Cao Cao looked at Xia Houyuan's irritable look and was not angry.
He looked very calm and even showed an incomprehensible smile.
Then he gently took out a clean silk scarf and wiped the Yitian Sword in his hand that was already stained with a little dust. , glanced at Xia Houyuan who was looking a little puzzled, and raised the treasure in his hand.
Sword, carefully observed the Yitian Sword in his hand, and said in a calm tone: "They are just a sharp sword.
When the sword is pointed at me, they are a threat, but when they become the sword in my hand, I, Cao Mengde, The road will be unstoppable.
When I capture Xuzhou, they will naturally understand the situation. " "I hope so."
After listening to Cao Cao's words, Xia Houyuan wiped the sweat from his face with his hands, and then said to Cao Cao with some disbelief.
Cao Cao looked at Xia Houyuan's expression, smiled calmly, and then said to his guards: "Go and collect General He Yi's body and find a clean place to bury it."
"Yes."
The soldier listened to Cao Cao's order and took a few soldiers to collect the body of He Yi who died in the battle.
Cao Cao watched Xu Chu cleaning the battlefield with his soldiers, and looked at the situation on the battlefield seriously.
Although it was a victory, it was just a miserable victory.
At this moment, Zhu Ling came to Cao Cao with the cavalry behind him, and then quickly got off the horse.
He clasped his fists in a respectful tone and saluted Cao Cao: "I am the general of Yuan Jizhou, Zhu Ling.
I’ve met Mr.
Cao” Cao Cao looked at Zhu Ling's beautiful appearance and felt a little happy.
He dismounted himself and supported Zhu Ling.
He said to Zhu Ling in a joyful tone: "General Zhu, you came at the right time this time.
Thank you very much, Mr.
Cao, for being here, Zhu Ling."
The general is so kind and kind, Mr.
Cao will remember it, and I will thank him very much someday."
"Mr.
Cao, you are too polite."
Seeing Cao Cao's friendly expression, Zhu Ling smiled and said respectfully to Cao Cao.
The two became polite to each other.
"This is a letter from my lord to Duke Cao, please have it read by Duke Cao."
Seeing Cao Cao's kind look, Zhu Ling secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Cao Cao.
Cao Cao looked at the letter handed over by Zhu Ling.
He very calmly took it and wrote a letter for himself from Yuan Shao.
Then he opened it and looked at it carefully.
When Cao Cao read for a while, his smiling face slowly became serious.
After finally reading the letter, a smile appeared on his lips, and he said to Zhu Ling with a kind face: "I understand what Yuan Jizhou means.
Without further ado, let's go to Xiapi City and try to capture Xuzhou as soon as possible."
"Yes" Zhu Ling listened to Cao Cao's words, said to Cao Cao respectfully, and then left with his cavalry.
"Lord" Xia Houyuan looked at Cao Cao and his expression became strange after Zhu Ling left.

He cautiously came to Cao Cao's side and whispered to Cao Cao.
Cao Cao looked sideways at Xia Houyuan and handed the letter to Xia Houyuan.
Xia Houyuan took the letter and read it carefully.
His whole face became ugly and he whispered to Cao Cao: "My lord, then Yuan Benchu is really bullying people."
"So what?
The current situation forces us to do this."
Cao Cao looked at Xia Houyuan who was a little angry beside him, touched his beard, said in a helpless tone, and then took the letter back.
"The whole army goes to Xiapi."
At Cao Cao's order, Cao Cao's soldiers followed Cao Cao back to the south.
On the other side, under the protection of Baima Yicong, Liu Bei successfully entered Xiapi City from outside the surrounded Xiapi City.
Tao Qian saw the reinforcements arriving and came specially to greet them.
When he saw Liu Bei and his troops looking like bereft dogs, there was a trace of disappointment in his eyes that was not easy to detect.
"Zizhong, who is this?"
Tao Qian looked at Mi Zhu who returned to his side and asked Mi Zhu with a somewhat doubtful expression.
"This is Pingyuan Prime Minister, Liu Bei, whose courtesy name is Xuande.
He is a clan member of the Han Dynasty.
After Prince Jing of Zhongshan, he heard that Cao Cao invaded Xuzhou without any reason and came here to rescue him."
Mi Zhu looked at Liu Bei with a gentle expression, and then spoke in a very careful tone.
He introduced to Tao Qian.
"My Excellency, Liu Xuande, has met Tao Zhou Mu."
Liu Bei watched Mi Zhu introduce himself, quickly bowed to Tao Qian, and said with a soft face.
"Thank you Xuande for coming to help me.
Thank you very much."
Tao Qian looked at Liu Bei in front of him who looked so polite and quickly replied.
"You're welcome, Zhou Mu," Liu Bei responded quickly and calmly to Tao Qian.
Tao Qian saw Liu Bei coming to rescue him.
He said a few words to Liu Bei with a very kind expression, and then quickly ordered people to arrange for Liu Bei to go down and rest.
"Zizhong, where is Kong Beihai's army?"
When Liu Bei was taken away, Tao Qian looked at Mi Zhu beside him with a serious expression and asked in a low voice, his tone full of majesty.
Mi Zhu looked a little embarrassed when Tao Qian asked this question, and then hesitantly said to Tao Qian: "Zhou Mu, Kong Beihai said that there are a lot of bandits in Qingzhou recently, so" Tao Qian looked at Mi Zhu's hesitant expression, and after listening to his words, he understood something.
He looked a little disappointed, sighed helplessly, and said in a somewhat self-comforting tone: "This is the way of the world, Zizhong, you go down first."
"Zhou Mu" Mi Zhu didn't know what to say when she saw Tao Qian like this, so she had to go down obediently, leaving Tao Qian standing alone in the hall.
"My lord, an army has just entered Xiapi, but the general is incompetent and failed to destroy them."
As soon as Cao Cao returned to his tent, Cao Ren came to Cao Cao's tent with a bitter look on his face and knelt on the ground.
He said with a somewhat ashamed tone to Cao Cao who was sitting on the main seat.
Cao Cao looked at Cao Ren who was kneeling on the ground and said with a gentle face: "Zixiao, stand up first.
You are not wrong.
Just pay attention next time."
"I will obey your lord's teachings."
Cao Ren looked at Cao Cao's gentle face and stood up sheepishly.
Then he clasped his fists and said respectfully to Cao Cao, and then walked aside.
"Pass my general's order to attack the city gate with the entire army.
Today, I will show Tao Qian the power of our army."
Cao Cao watched Cao Ren step aside, put his hands on his thighs, and then said in a serious tone.
"General, obey the order."

The generals saw the boss giving the order and quickly responded to Cao Cao with fists clasped, and then hurriedly walked out of the tent.
Under Cao Cao's order, Cao Cao's army came out in full force and attacked crazily towards the gate of Xiapi City.
This sudden attack by Cao Cao's army frightened the soldiers above Xiapi City, and the soldiers hurriedly called for someone to notify Tao Qian.
Tao Qian came to the top of the city, and Liu Bei also came after hearing the news.
Tao Qian looked down the city, looking at Cao Cao behind the army, and shouted to Cao Cao at the top of his voice: "Cao Mengde, it was not my idea to kidnap your father.
Now that the two families are fighting, I am afraid that both sides will suffer losses.
If you retreat, I am willing to compensate you with food and fodder.
What do you think?"
Cao Cao heard the sound on the city wall, looked at Tao Qian, a sneer appeared on his lips, and then said a few words to the guards behind him.
"Old thief Tao Qian harmed my father.
If I don't avenge this revenge, I won't be a son of man."
Soon after, all the guards around Cao Cao shouted loudly to the top of Xiapi City in unison.
This voice was heard by everyone on the battlefield.
"This damn Cao Mengde is really pissing me off."
Tao Qian listened to the shouts from the city, and then looked at Cao Cao who was sitting firmly in the middle of the city.
His face suddenly turned pale, and he shouted with some sadness and anger.
"Mr.
Tao, don't panic.
Cao Mengde and I are old acquaintances.
Why don't I write to him and state my interests and see if I can persuade him to retreat?"
Liu Bei looked at Tao Qian who looked sad and angry, and hurriedly turned to Tao Qian. said.
Tao Qian looked at Liu Bei's calm face and looked at the fierce offensive of Cao Jun below, and had no choice but to say to Liu Bei: "In this case, we have to trouble Xuande
