"No, I have a headache. It hurts, it hurts, it hurts. All the troops have to move back, wait until I get better."

After saying that, Cao Cao retreated directly into the chariot and never came out again.

Only a group of staff were left looking at each other.

…

Cao Cao withdrew his troops in a completely inexplicable manner.

They came like a rising tide in summer, and retreated in a hurry. The battle against Xu that lasted for several months ended in this way.

But Cao Cao still left the entire Langya and Donghai, leaving only a broken Xuzhou for Chen Deng and others.

Originally, Chen Deng and others were still reorganizing their troops in Xiapi to cope with Cao Cao's offensive later. When they suddenly received the news that Cao Cao had withdrawn his troops, they felt baffled.

On the one hand, they were worried that this was Cao Cao's trick and wanted to counterattack, but on the other hand, they also hoped that it was true because they also needed time to deal with the internal problems after Tao Qian's death.

Since the state's governance was broken and Xuzhou's Mu Tao Qian died in battle, Xuzhou was in a leaderless situation.

For example, the prefects in Pengcheng, Xiapi and other places were ready to move. If it weren't for the external pressure from Cao Jun, they would have grabbed this position long ago.

Later, after it was established that Cao Cao really withdrew his troops and returned, Xuzhou's civil and military officials gathered in Xiapi to discuss the candidates for Xuzhou's pastor.

It stands to reason that the state pastor is granted by the world, and even if Tao Qian dies, they will have to wait for the court to send another state pastor.

But now that the situation is so critical, I think the court should be able to understand them.

So everyone decided to nominate one from among those present.

At this moment, Mi Zhu suddenly came out and took out Tao Qian's handwriting before his death. In his last words, Tao Qian decided to leave the position of Zhou Mu to Chen Deng.

As soon as this handwriting came out, or rather as soon as the name Chen Deng came out, everyone was in an uproar, but no one stood up to object.

The local faction is happy, the Danyang Party agrees, the imperial faction does not object, and the powerful factions in various places are not willing to come forward, and would rather have Chen Deng at the front to challenge Cao Cao.

Therefore, it was decided that Chen Deng would become the pastor of Xuzhou.

Then, the first thing Chen Deng did as the shepherd of Xuzhou was to marry Miss Mi as a wife.

Therefore, Chen Deng, who was twenty-seven years old, spread his wings across the Yangtze River and Huaihe River and became a prince in the world.
