    After the Battle of Pingyu City, Cao Cao believed that if Liu Bei was given a little more space, Liu Bei's strength would definitely increase dramatically.

    "Thief Cao, you will not die well."

    There was a scolding sound coming from below. Cao Cao looked down and saw a scholar dressed like a scholar. He was one of Liu Bei's men. He was about to be killed because he could not surrender.

    The scribe continued to yell and curse at Cao Cao until he died. The soldiers who held him down beat his mouth to bleed. He still yelled and cursed, as if Cao Cao had killed his whole family, and he had a deep hatred for Cao Cao.

    Seeing the scribe still yelling and cursing at the moment the sword fell, Cao Cao sighed in his heart and said softly: "Fortunately, fortunately"

    Fortunately, Liu Bei was defeated in this battle, otherwise he would have had a headache.

    Cao Cao is here now waiting for the people who are chasing Liu Bei to come back. If they can bring back Liu Bei's head, then he can really have a good sleep.

    "Lord!"

    Jiang Ji came up from below. In this battle, he was following Cao Cao as a military advisor.  In the battle of Pingyu City, he also followed Jiang Ji's strategy and sent people to steal the city gate, so that he could easily break through the city gate and capture Pingyu City.

    "It's Zitong." Cao Cao came to his senses, glanced at his adviser, and asked, "Is there any news about the chasing team?"

    This is what Cao Cao is most concerned about now.

    Jiang Ji shook his head and said: "Back to my lord, not yet."

    "well."

    Hearing that there was no news, Cao Cao couldn't help but sigh in disappointment. Although he had captured Pingyu City and Runan County would soon be in his hands, Cao Cao was not too happy, mainly because Liu Bei escaped.  He couldn't be happy until he died.

    Liu Bei has extraordinary abilities, and now he is locked in a feud with Liu Bei. Liu Bei has still become one of his biggest worries. If he cannot kill such a person when he has the opportunity, it will make him very worried.

    There is no way to deal with the big mountain to the north, and now I have another enemy, and a very capable enemy. This life is not easy.

    Jiang Ji felt the disappointment in Cao Cao's tone and asked, "My lord, are you worried about Liu Bei's comeback?"

    Cao Cao had nothing to hide from his confidants. He nodded and said: "I didn't expect Liu Bei to be so popular. This man has extraordinary skills. If I can't kill him this time, he will be my big enemy in the future."  .¡±

    Jiang Ji comforted Cao Cao and said, "My lord, you can rest assured. With General Xiahou personally leading the pursuit, Liu Bei will not be able to escape."

    This time, Xiahou Dun personally led the pursuit, and Jiang Ji was very confident in Xiahou Dun's ability.

    Cao Cao still had confidence in his men, but he still had concerns and asked, "What if Liu Bei escapes?"

    "My lord, there is no need to worry."

    Jiang Ji smiled slightly and said: "Even if Liu Bei really escapes, he will not be able to make a comeback, and he will not pose a threat to the lord at all."

    When Cao Cao heard this, he felt happy and asked Jiang Ji the reason.

    Jiang Jixin said: "Liu Bei's escape to the west this time has only two options. First, he will be caught up by General Xiahou and beheaded. Second, he will flee to Jingzhou and seek refuge with Liu Biao."

    When Cao Cao heard this, he was not happy. Instead, he was a little frightened. It was very dangerous for these two damn people to join forces.

    Cao Cao's worry is not unreasonable. Liu Biao has been in Jingzhou for many years. The nine counties of Jingzhou have suffered relatively little war. The people live and work in peace and contentment, and the population is large. Liu Biao's power is stronger than Cao Cao.

    Once Liu Bei gets help from Liu Biao, he will soon be able to recover.  And what Cao Cao was even more afraid of was that if Jingzhou fell into Liu Bei's hands, it would be extremely bad.

    "Don't worry, my lord."

    Jiang Ji seemed to know the change in Cao Cao's mood. He said: "Liu Biao has been in Jingzhou for many years and cannot do without the help of the local big families. The structure of the big families in Jingzhou has been formed. Now Liu Bei comes, and he can only be rejected by the big families.  Liu Bei will not be accepted."

    If Liu Bei goes to Liu Biao, it means that he wants to share the cake, but the cake has already been divided, who will agree to Liu Bei's coming.

    "Really?" Cao Cao was overjoyed after hearing this. It would be the best if this is the case.

    Jiang Ji suggested: "The Cai family and the Kuai family in Jingzhou are the two big families around Liu Biao. There are people in their families who are highly valued by Liu Biao. They have high positions in Jingzhou. My lord may as well send someone to win them over and let them help my lord."

    "This is a great plan."

    Cao Cao listensAfter that, he was overjoyed and said: "I will send someone to do it now."

    Cao Cao was overjoyed after hearing Jiang Ji's plan, but before he could take action, someone came to report that Xiahou Dun came back.

    "How is it? Have you caught the big-eared thief Liu Bei?"

    As soon as Cao Cao saw Xiahou Dun, he asked aloud, with some expectation and eagerness in his tone. He sincerely hoped that Xiahou Dun could bring back Liu Bei's head.

    "The general was incompetent and allowed Liu Bei to escape." Xiahou Dun looked ashamed. Liu Bei fled into Liu Biao's sphere of influence. Xiahou Dun did not receive Cao Cao's order and did not dare to lead his troops to pursue him in depth.

    Hearing that Liu Bei had been asked to escape, Cao Cao couldn't help but feel disappointed. However, thanks to Jiang Ji's suggestion just now, Cao Cao was not completely disappointed.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
