    Liu Bei wanted Cao Hong to be like this. He thought that after capturing Shouchun, he would find an excuse to say that Cao Cao had colluded with Yuan Shu, and then he and his senior brother Gongsun Zan would deal with Cao Cao.

    ??Wouldn¡¯t it be a wonderful life to wait until Cao Cao is defeated, carve up Shouchun, and then jointly deal with Cao Cao and take control of the court in the future?  Liu Bei had such a mentality at the time.

    Liu Bei always thought that Cao Cao would never attack Yuan Shu again. After all, everyone was fighting for justice against the false emperor.  Once you take action, you will be despised by everyone in the world and your reputation will be greatly damaged.

    It¡¯s just that Liu Bei still thought of Cao Cao too simply.  He teamed up with Gongsun Zan again and again to deal with Cao Cao, which made Cao Cao extremely uncomfortable. Now he had the chance to attack him.  If Cao Cao misses this opportunity, he will no longer be Cao Cao.

    Using Cao Hong to attract Liu Bei and make Liu Bei relax his vigilance, he secretly arrived at Wancheng, where he personally led an army of 20,000 to join the army of 20,000 from Xudu, making a total of 40,000 troops to attack Runan.

    Cao Cao's sneak attack caught Liu Bei by surprise. When Liu Bei received the news, he still couldn't believe it.

    However, Cao Cao was about to attack Pingyu City. Liu Bei was furious. He did not immediately return reinforcements, but wanted to use a move to surround Wei and save Zhao.

    However, Cao Hong's 30,000-strong army clinging to him became Liu Bei's nightmare. He could not advance or retreat. Even if he wanted to surround Wei and rescue Zhao, it would be difficult to completely retreat and rescue him.

    In the end, Liu Bei gave up the unrealistic idea of ??besieging Wei and rescuing Zhao, and reluctantly left behind an army of 30,000 men before he got rid of the mad dog-like pursuit of Cao Hong.

    After getting rid of Cao Hong, Liu Bei bet on his 50,000 cavalry. These 50,000 cavalry were the troops he had spent a lot of effort on. He hoped that they could save the situation.

    Liu Bei asked Zhu Huan and Ji Ling to return with 50,000 cavalry to stop Cao Cao.  It's a pity that one of Liu Bei's best counselors and matchmakers was left at home to look after his family.

    Liu Bei did not guess the ambush halfway.

    The 10,000 tiger and leopard cavalry led by Cao Xiu ambush halfway and attacked the 50,000 cavalry who had returned to the rescue first.

    It was already very difficult for Liu Bei to be able to raise 50,000 cavalry. He had no extra money to equip his subordinates with good armor. His 50,000 cavalry were light cavalry.  Cao Cao didn't have many tigers and leopards, and the money he spent on raising 50,000 cavalry was about the same as Liu Bei's. Cao Cao could equip his men with better equipment.

    With two teams facing each other like this, and Cao Xiu attacking by surprise, the outcome is already very clear, who will win and who will lose.

    Zhu Huan and Ji Ling relied on absolute force to fight their way back to Liu Bei with the remaining soldiers.

    Before Liu Bei had time to feel sorry for the loss, even greater bad news came, Pingyu City was destroyed.

    In the end, Liu Bei cried all the way and fled to the west. Behind him, Xiahou Dun led a large force to pursue him. He pursued them all the way to the border of Jingzhou before stopping

    After Liu Zhe read the information, Liu Zhe exclaimed, "It's interesting. Cao Cao and Liu Bei each have their own evil intentions and plot against each other. Neither of them are good men and women."

    "It's a pity that compared with Cao Cao, Liu Bei is still a little behind.  Liu Bei valued reputation too much and misjudged that Cao Cao would value reputation, thus underestimating Cao Cao.

    Cao Cao does pay attention to reputation, but his reputation is not the only thing he values. What he values ????more is the strength in his hands.

    Think about it, someone who can say "I would rather let the world down than let the world down me" would be bound by fame?

    From the massacre of the city in Xuzhou and the concession to Liu Zhe during the Xudu Ceremony, Liu Zhe knew that Cao Cao would not be bound by fame. He was the same type of person as Liu Zhe himself. He wanted fame, but would not do it for the sake of fame.  Give something up.

    "Liu Bei is too naive." Liu Zhe said this after reading the information.

    Guo Jia understood what Liu Zhe meant. He nodded in agreement and said, "But this is no wonder Liu Bei. Who makes him not like Cao Cao, surrounded by powerful men and under great pressure?"

    Cao Cao controlled the court, and to a certain extent, he became the target of public criticism. Zhang Xiu, Liu Bei, Gongsun Zan, and Yuan Shu all around him were eyeing the court, and even Liu Zhe sometimes put a little pressure on him.

    Under such an environment, it is already remarkable that Cao Cao was able to persevere.

    Guo Jia strategized: "Liu Bei is used to being a good person in Runan. His good reputation among the people gives him such strength. So what he values ??most is reputation, but this also limits him. In order to  reputation, so he can¡¯t do anything casually.¡±

    Liu Zhe nodded. Historically, Liu Bei also relied on benevolence and righteousness and his good reputation among the people to rise.  In this day and age, he is no exception.But because of his reputation for being too proactive, his reputation restricted him, and he had to be restrained in everything he did, making it difficult for him to do things.  Just like the several feudal states under his rule, for the sake of reputation, Liu Bei could not take action against them and could only let them go.

    Liu Zhe believed that if he had allowed himself or Cao Cao, these four feudal states would have become their grandsons long ago, and how could they dare to pull this off.

    Guo Jia continued: "Runan has been controlled by Cao Cao, and Liu Bei also fled to Jingzhou to join Liu Biao, and was appointed as the governor of Xinye by Liu Biao. Now Cao Cao is accompanied by Gongsun Zan, Yuan Shu and us."

    "It seems that Cao Cao will soon unify the Central Plains." Liu Zhe said, touching his chin.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
