Cao Cao and the others were indeed shocked by the scene in front of them. They originally thought that the fierce battle between Liu Bei's army and Lu Bu's army would lead to a loss-win situation. In the end, they could only take advantage of the situation, but they did not expect that such a result would be the end!

Not to mention the heavy losses of Liu Bei's three thousand cavalrymen, even the two most heavyweight figures under Liu Bei's command were killed and injured, not to mention that Zhang Fei, who was inappropriate to the courage of thousands of men, was now shot by Lu Bu with an arrow, and since then he became a castrator, and life is worse than death!

What about Lu Bu's side? Only the bodies of more than a dozen soldiers in the trapped camp were left, which made Cao Cao and the others feel palpitations about the strength of Lu Bu's side's combat effectiveness.

Cao Cao got off his war horse and stood at the ferry to the sea, frowning at the hundreds of huge ships gradually moving away.

At this time, Guo Jia, who also got off the horse, slowly came to Cao Cao. He first looked at the ship gradually moving away, and then found Cao Cao's frown, looking worried about the departure of Lu Bu's army.

The intelligent Guo Jia immediately knew what Cao Cao was thinking now, and couldn't help but enlighten Cao Cao: "Sikong, don't worry about Lu Bu's departure. Now he is still the same tiger. His combat power is still so strong, but we should be happy!"

As he spoke, Guo Jia paused before saying again: "At least that's the case now!"

"Oh?" I originally wanted Lu Bu and Liu Bei to lose both sides and reap the benefits of the fisherman. In the end, this result made Cao Cao feel very afraid of Lu Bu's calm departure. Now, when he heard Guo Jia say this, Cao Cao was immediately interested.

"Sikong, look at the whereabouts of Lu Bu, he must go to the opposite Sanhan, and then go north to compete with Gongsun Du for several counties in Liaodong. If Lu Bu really seized control of several counties in Liaodong, we can ask the emperor to issue an edict to grant Lu Bu a Youzhou governor or general in the western expedition. With Lu Bu's arrogant and restless personality, he will definitely be unable to resist the temptation and send troops to fight for Yuan Shao's Youzhou. The enemy of the enemy is a friend. At that time, with Lu Bu being restrained by Yuan Shao's rear, it can also increase our chances of defeating Yuan Shao's army! By the time he defeated Yuan Shao's army, we might still go north to Hebei!" As soon as he talked about the serious matter, Guo Jia put away his unrestrained personality and explained it endlessly to Cao Cao.

This made Cao Cao, who was originally frowning, feel relieved, and wished that Lu Bu could immediately arrive at Sanhan, conquer Sanhan, and then go north to occupy several Liaodong counties in Gongsun Du, gain a foothold as soon as possible, so as to send troops to Yuan Shao's Youzhou to the west!

Because Cao Cao knew that Lu Bu and Yuan Shao also had a grudge, Lu Bu, who had stood firm, would definitely not live in peace with Yuan Shao in the north, let alone that Lu Bu was not a peaceful person, otherwise he would not have killed his adoptive father Ding Yuan and his adoptive father Dong Zhuo one after another, and gained a bad reputation as a "three-class slave".

Although Gongsun Du fought against the Three Han, Goguryeo, Wuhuan and other alien races in several counties in Liaodong, he was very prosperous and was like a local emperor in Liaodong, but Gongsun Du is old after all and no longer has the ambitions of his youth. In his twilight years, Gongsun Du dared to provoke the overlord of Hebei Yuan Shao, let alone enter Youzhou and expand his land and population to the west.

Yuan Shao was powerful, and even Cao Cao, the hero, did not have the absolute confidence to confront Yuan Shao, and then defeated Yuan Shao's army to move south!

Cao Cao knew that Gongsun Du could not be a helper for him to resist Yuan Shao's going south, so he extremely wanted to find another ally to share the burden with him. Otherwise, he knew that Liu Bei was a restless person. Cao Cao also wanted to conquer him to enhance his strength!

Cao Cao is very grateful for his decision at that time, that is, to welcome the emperor back to Xudu, so that he could control the emperor, and use the emperor's name to command the princes in the world and increase his political capital!

"Fengxiao, can Lu Bu gain a firm foothold in Liaodong?" Cao Cao looked at Guo Jia, showing a look of hope.

What Cao Cao asked, Guo Jia was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Cao Cao's eyes and said firmly: "Under our troops, since Lu Bu had such great courage to defend, he gave up the strong city Xiapi, and then went to the distant Sanhan land without fear of the storm on the sea. Jia thought he must have this confidence! Sikong, we don't have to pay too much attention to Lu Bu now. The most important thing we are now is to stabilize the Xuzhou we just captured, and then go back to Xudu, prepare for the war, and be prepared to deal with Yuan Shao's army's southward advance. After all, we have to rely on ourselves. Even if Lu Bu gains a foothold in Liaodong, we will still be our enemy!"

Guo Jia knew that Cao Cao was a little unconfident in fighting against Yuan Shao's army. In order to increase Cao Cao's self-confidence, Guo Jia could only persuade him firmly to enhance Cao Cao's confidence in fighting against Yuan Shao's army in the future.

"Well! Fengxiao is right!" With the persuasion of Guo Jia, one of his most trusted counselors, Cao Cao's expression immediately paused, knowing that he was over-thinking.

Then, Cao Cao no longer thought so much and came to Liu Bei who was still crying loudly.

Cao Cao didn't know whether to despise him or admire him for his pretentiousness when a big man cried in front of everyone. No wonder he could fight again and again, and then he didn't know where he would fight again and again!

At this time, Chen Dao's body had been collected and he could find a Feng Shui treasure land to bury it. Zhang Fei, who was seriously injured, was also a military doctor who was applying medicine to stop bleeding.

But everyone knows that although Zhang Fei, who was strong and strong, had saved his life under the arrow of Lu Bu, he may only be a eunuch in the future and could enter the palace to become a eunuch around the emperor at any time. He could not only serve the emperor well, but also protect the emperor's safety with his force. He can beat two birds with one stone and better achieve his brother Liu Bei's desire to support the Han Dynasty!

Cao Cao felt a trembling when he saw Zhang Fei's injury. He also felt a pity. After all, what confidence does a man have to live in this world after he can't use that thing? Not to mention he has to lead troops to fight on the battlefield, and he will have an unparalleled contribution!

Zhang Fei, a person with the courage of thousands of people, is considered useless, and it is still in the hands of his own people!

Although Guan Yu's original intention was to save Zhang Fei, it would be better to let Zhang Fei die in battle without losing the heroic hero in the current result!

It was a pity for Cao Cao to ignore Zhang Fei for a moment. In Cao Cao's eyes, he only valued Guan Yu, who was brave and resourceful. As for Zhang Fei, even if he was strong in martial arts, he was also a brainless and impulsive existence in Cao Cao's eyes.

Cao Cao thought so in his heart, but facing Liu Bei with sad expressions, Guan Yu and the others persuaded with great concern: "Xuande, Yun Chang, you don't have to worry about Yide. After Yide stops bleeding, you will go back to Xudu immediately. I will report that the emperor will find the best imperial doctor in the palace to treat Yide's injuries! By the way, let the miracle doctor Hua Tuohua come to treat it! He is the best at treating trauma."

Thinking about the late arrival of Cao Cao's army, Liu Bei and Guan Yu also know what Cao Cao was thinking. However, now they are under someone else's roof. Liu Bei and Guan Yu will not be so brainless and turn against Cao Cao against him and then be killed by Cao Cao!

Guan Yu nodded without saying anything, while Liu Bei put away his anger at Cao Cao, wiped the tears in his eyes, and said with gratitude on his face: "Then Xuande thanks Sikong here!"

"Yes!" Cao Cao nodded.

After the doctor cured Zhang Feizhi's bleeding, Cao Cao immediately wrote a document with a wave of his pen, ordering a young general to lead a part of the tiger and leopard cavalry warriors to escort it, but to monitor Liu Bei and the others back to Xudu, and ask Hua Tuo to treat Zhang Fei's injuries.

Cao Cao himself had to stay in Xuzhou for a while, and it would not be too late to go back after the newly occupied Xuzhou was consolidated!
