Chapter 193 Cao Cao: Big-eared thief! Traitor! Evil thief! I swear to kill you, eat your flesh, and sleep on your skin!
Outside Tongguan,
Cao’s main camp, the central army tent.

"Urgent news from Xuchang: Liu Bei brought his family into Xuchang and surrendered to me..."

Cao Mengde's voice echoed in the tent for a long time.

Liu Xuande,
The loyal man who once drank wine and discussed heroes with Prime Minister Cao.

The one who secretly participated in the Secret Edict and attacked Prime Minister Cao's Xuzhou.

The one who joined forces with Sun Quan to defeat Prime Minister Cao on the river at Chibi.

Liu Bei, Liu Xuande, who was sworn enemies with Prime Minister Cao and fought with him in Jiangling City, wishing to kill him, actually went to Xuchang and surrendered to Prime Minister Cao?!
Even brought the whole family to Xuchang? ! !

The whole room was filled with counselors, and everyone was stunned...

Liu Bei,
A hero of the world!
He is an indomitable person. He fights again and again despite repeated failures.

When Prime Minister Cao attacked Xinye, even though Liu Xuande was being hunted down and his wife and children were separated, and he was as panic-stricken as a stray dog, he never thought of bowing to Prime Minister Cao.

How can such a person be so patient? I am afraid he will fight the Prime Minister to death.

But now someone suddenly told these advisers that Liu Bei had surrendered to Prime Minister Cao with his family?

What a joke!
Many people subconsciously looked up at Cao Cao. Is this news true?

Cao Mengde seemed to see what everyone was thinking, and said in a low voice: "The news was sent by Xun Wenruo himself, there is no doubt about it..."

"Now, what I am worried about is that Liu Xuande has come to surrender. Should I accept him or not?"

What is there to worry about in this matter?

The counselors below could no longer hold back:

"Liu Xuande has been fighting with the Prime Minister for a long time. Now he has surrendered to the Prime Minister. We should recruit him under our command to show the world that the Prime Minister is destined to be his!"

"When Liu Xuande left Xuchang, Cheng Zhongde said that this was like releasing a dragon into the sea and letting a tiger return to the mountain! Today, Liu Xuande has returned to the Prime Minister, which is like a tiger entering a cage. The Prime Minister must not hesitate!"

"If the Prime Minister is unwilling to accept Liu Bei's surrender, you can also send a few soldiers to cut off his head and get rid of this long-standing trouble."

"Liu Xuande is Liu Wu's biological father. Even if the Prime Minister does not kill him, he can imprison Liu Bei to contain the King of Chu, Liu Wu..."

The tent was full of advisers offering suggestions and advice, and there was a lot of noise, but Cao Mengde just remained silent with a frown on his face.

Jia Xu's eyes flickered, and he stood up and saluted: "Prime Minister, Liu Xuande has now entered Xuchang City and is under the control of the Prime Minister. His life and death are up to the Prime Minister's will..."

"But I don't know why the Prime Minister is troubled?"

The tent suddenly became quiet, and Jia Xu's words hit the nail on the head on everyone's doubts.

Liu Bei is now a fish on the chopping board of Prime Minister Cao. The Prime Minister can do whatever he wants with the knife, so what is there to be afraid of?
Call ~
Cao Cao let out a long breath and suddenly asked a strange question: "Do you remember how many forces and princes Liu Bei has relied on over the years?"

How many people did Liu Xuande rely on?
Cao Aman's question left everyone confused.

Cao Mengde asked himself and answered: "I remember that he successively joined Gongsun Zan, Tao Qian, Lu Bu, Yuan Shao, Liu Biao, Sun Quan... and me!"

"Liu Da'er is a very evil guy. Whoever he gets involved with will suffer bad luck..."

"He surrendered to Gongsun Zan, who was trapped in Yijing Tower by Yuan Benchu. With no hope of escaping, he burned himself to death."

"He was attached to Tao Qian, but Tao Qian ordered his generals to kill my father. I led my army to Xuzhou for revenge. If my army had not run out of food at that time, Xuzhou would have been massacred."

"He was sent to Lü Bu's camp, and Lü Fengxian ended up in Baimen Tower."

"Yuan Shao took him in, and he suffered a disastrous defeat at Guandu, and died of depression. The four northern states are now in my possession, and my descendants are extinct!"

"Liu Biao raised Liu Xuande in Xinye, but he eventually raised a serious threat. Jingzhou was lost, and his eldest son Liu Qi was killed by him..."

The more Cao Mengde spoke, the gloomier his face became. He finally talked about himself: "I brought him back to Xuchang, gave him the title of the emperor's uncle, and promoted him to a higher position!" "As a result, he not only escaped from Xuchang, attacked Xuzhou, killed my general Che Zhou, but also robbed my 80,000 troops!"

Eighty thousand troops!

Even after Cao Cao recaptured Xuzhou, only a part of the 80,000 troops returned. The rest either died in the battle with Liu Xuande or followed Liu Bei.

Cao Mengde still feels heartbroken when he thinks of the loss of 80,000 troops!

"He defected to Sun Quan last time. I thought his illness was cured, but it turned out that while he was still on his way to Sun Quan, Sun Zhongmou had already become Liu Zilie's captive!"

"After he arrived in Jiangdong, things changed quickly. Sun Quan was deposed, and the foundation of three generations was lost!"

"We are currently fighting against Ma Chao, and the situation is already unfavorable. If we take in Liu Bei at this time..."

The expressions of many counselors present changed instantly.

The princes Liu Bei had relied on were not weak men.
If Yuan Benchu, Liu Jingzhou, Sun Zhongmou and others were all powerful and dominated one side, even if Prime Minister Cao was against them, he would have to go all out.

But once Liu Bei surrendered, the other side suffered heavy losses. Even Prime Minister Cao lost Xuzhou and suffered heavy casualties!
Ma Chao now occupies Tongguan and threatens the heartland of the Central Plains. If the Prime Minister accepts Liu Bei, he will be doomed to fail at the hands of Ma Chao...

Prime Minister Cao was defeated at the Red Cliff in Jiangdong.

When Liu Wu and I raised an army, we encountered difficulties.
If we lose the army at Tongguan again this time, the Central Plains will be in danger! Prime Minister Cao will be in danger!
Thinking about this clearly, many counselors' foreheads were already wet.

Jia Xu then said, "If the Prime Minister is worried that if Liu Bei is taken in, our army will be defeated at Tongguan, why not just release Liu Bei and expel him?"

Since Liu Xuande cannot be captured, just let him go and be done with it.

"Release Liu Bei? Ha..." Cao Cao sneered, "I have spent countless time and energy to capture Liu Bei. How can I let him go?"

A counselor tried to speak: "Then kill..."

"You can't kill him!" Before Cao Cao could speak, Jia Xu shook his head and said, "Liu Xuande is Liu Zilie's biological father. Although Liu Zilie has now moved into the emperor's main clan, if he really sends troops to attack Xuchang under the banner of revenge for his biological father, it is also justified."

There was also a counselor in the tent who opened his mouth to speak, but could not utter anything.

I can't take it back, I don't want to let it go, and I can't kill it...

For a time,

Cao Cao's think tanks were actually helpless against Liu Xuande.

In order to eliminate this thorn in Liu Bei's side, the price he had paid over the years was simply too high.

For Liu Bei, he fought many battles in the east and the west, but finally suffered a major defeat on the river at Chibi, and his 800,000-strong army was burned to death!
Liu Bei finally calmed down, but the son of this big-eared thief came again...

He controlled the north of the Yangtze River, occupied the south of Jing, broke through Xiangfan, controlled Jingzhou, led his troops northward, colluded with the emperor to cause trouble... Liu Zilie would not allow himself a moment of peace!
Now he was in the middle of a fierce battle with Ma Chao, and this damn big-eared thief came to disgust him again. Who knew whether he came to surrender sincerely or was up to no good and wanted him to fail miserably in Tongguan?
Cao Mengde had fantasized countless times about capturing Liu Xuande and bringing him to Xuchang.

But now when Liu Bei really entered Xuchang, he discovered that this big-eared thief had unknowingly become a big trouble.

This damn Liu Xuande, why does he have to pick on me? !
I've done all the hard work, now it's my son's turn!

Is it over or not?

Do you think that you, a dignified Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty, are being played around by Liu Dal'er and his son?
Cao Mengde's face was extremely ugly. The more he thought about it, the more he felt helpless and annoyed...

boom! ~
Cao Aman angrily slammed his palm on the table. His headache came back. He felt dizzy and roared subconsciously: "Damned big-eared thief! Traitor! Evil thief! Rebellious thief!"

"You have seized my Xuzhou troops and ruined my plans time and again..."

"He's going too far! He's going too far!!"

"I swear to kill you...eat your flesh and sleep on your skin!"
