Outline of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms Part XI

Kong Rong was going to save Tao Qian, but he didn't want to be surrounded by followers of the Yellow Scarf, so he immediately sent Taishi Ci for help. So Taishi Ci took Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei (Liu Bei, who was snubbed by the powerful people of the dynasty, naturally felt that it was good for him to learn from Kong Rong, so he promised to help them), killed the Yellow turban insurrectionary, solved the North Sea crisis, and thus made great contributions, leaving a good road for himself.

In the name of revenging his father, Cao Cao led troops to kill Xuzhou, leaving Xuzhou in a dilemma. Mi Zhu begged Liu Bei to save Xuzhou, so Liu Beixian wrote to Cao Cao to stop fighting.

Cao Cao was discussing this matter with people. It was reported in Yanzhou that Lu Bu attacked Yanzhou (this is Cao Cao's base area, and Lu Bu copied Cao Cao's base area because of Chen Gong's advice, which forced Cao Cao to retreat to the second place), so Cao Cao gave in and retreated to Yanzhou. But Xuzhou people don't know that Cao Cao's withdrawal is famous by Liu Bei's letter. Tao Qian thought he was a talented person, so he kept him again and again. Liu Bei therefore promised to stay in Xiaopei near Xuzhou.

Cao Cao retreated to Li's rescue and didn't want to be ambushed by Lu Bu on the way. In the end, Dian Wei saved Cao Cao's life by killing the enemy with one enemy and ten enemies.
