Yuan Shuhui and Lu Bu formed an alliance, which was actually expected by Guo Jia and his advisers.
Jia Xu first said: "Actually, Lu Bu did this to give the lord an opportunity. The lord will attack Xuzhou in two ways. One is to send troops to avenge Liu Bei, and the other is to regard Lu Bu as an accomplice of Yuan Shu and be designated as a rebel." , Rebels, we still stand on the side of justice."
Cao Cao's eyes lit up after hearing this.
According to Jia Xu, they fought Lu Bu next, and the fight was justified. Even if Liu Bei was not convinced, he could only watch Cao Cao bring Xuzhou into his territory.
"Well said Wen He!"
Cao Cao agreed: "Send the order and ask Li Mancheng and Xu Gongming to raid Pengcheng. At the same time, our army is ready to go north and attack Xiapi directly."
Having reached this point, it means officially declaring war on Lu Bu and Xiapi.
The soldiers in the army began to take action. The soldiers who conveyed the order quickly walked out of the camp and walked towards Xiao County in Qiao County.
When Chen Zhou returned to the rear army, he saw that Wang Jie was already busy, arranging for people to load some grain and grass into the truck. The three armies had not moved, and the grain and grass went first.
——
After receiving the news that they could raid Pengcheng, Li Dian and Xu Huang launched the attack without hesitation.
The place where Pengcheng is located is called Pengcheng Kingdom, which is one of the parallel products of the Han Dynasty.
The Prime Minister Hou Xie here was appointed by Lu Bu. When he saw a large army appearing outside the city, he was frightened. Lu Bu wanted to gather his troops. He first attacked Yuan Shu and then Liu Bei. Therefore, there were not many guards left in Pengcheng. More than a thousand people.
Although the walls of Pengcheng are not as tall as those of Xiapi, they are not bad either.
However, there were more than a thousand people, even with the tall city walls, they could not stop the attack of almost tens of thousands of people. In addition, Xu Huang and the others still made a surprise attack, catching Hou Xie by surprise.
Although the first battle of the raid failed to capture Pengcheng.
However, more than half of Hou Xie's soldiers guarding the city were consumed. As long as there was another battle, Pengcheng would definitely fall and could no longer be defended. Hou Xie had to let people escape from the city and ask Lu Bu for help.
At this time, Lu Bu occupied Xiaopei.
Liu Bei attacked Xiaopei, and Lu Bu defended Xiaopei. The two sides fought back and forth.
In terms of military strength, Liu Bei was not Lu Bu's opponent, but Guan and Zhang were brave enough and hated Lu Bu deeply. Every time there was a fight, the two of them would take the lead and rush out to kill him.
Lu Bu was outside Hulao Pass and was frightened by Guan and Zhang.
If Guan Yu or Zhang Fei were to fight, Lu Bu would not be afraid at all, but if they both attack at the same time, Lu Bu would have to think carefully.
Chen Gong did not allow Lu Bu to fight against Guan Zhang because Lu Bu was their morale.
Once Lu Bu is defeated, it will lead to low morale and disorganized military morale. Military morale is a mysterious but intangible thing. If it is lost, the entire army will easily be defeated.
Xiaopei couldn't fight for the time being, but Liu Bei didn't give up and continued to fight hard.
Fortunately, their family members were fine and were taken out by Chen Dao.
On this day, Liu Bei gathered his soldiers and prepared to fight Lu Bu again.
Lu Bu came out of the military formation and said angrily: "Liu Bei, you big-eared thief, if I hadn't saved your life by shooting a halberd at the gate, you would have lost even Xiaopei. Now you will repay your kindness with revenge?"
Before Liu Bei could respond, Zhang Fei jumped out first and shouted in a super loud voice: "Three surnamed family slaves, you snatched Xiapi back, and you snatched Xiaopei back as well. If my elder brother hadn't been kind-hearted, If I ask you to come to Xuzhou, you will be chased and beaten by Cao Cao!"
When Lu Bu heard this, he was also furious.
Just as they were about to let Zhang Liao and Gao Shun lead their troops out to rub Zhang Fei hard, Pengcheng's urgent report finally arrived.
"Marquis Wen."
Chen Gong said in shock: "Cao Cao raided Pengcheng. Judging from the time when the emergency report was sent, Pengcheng has now been lost."
"What did you say?"
Lu Bu was shocked and took a look at the urgent report.
Really.
Chen Gong said: "I understand. Cao Cao's plan is for us and Liu Bei to attack each other. He takes the opportunity to sneak attack on our city. Cao Cao's next plan is definitely to capture Pi City."
"damn it!"
Lu Bu suppressed his anger and asked, "Gongtai, what should I do?"
"Go back to Xiapi first."
Chen Gong thought for a moment and said: "But before we go back, we must completely defeat Liu Bei and beat Liu Bei's soldiers until they are unable to fight again to prevent him from joining forces with Cao Cao. After we return to Xiapi, we will contact Yuan Shu and ask for his support." .”
"Boping, Wenyuan."
"Liu Bei leaves it to you."
"Is three thousand people enough?"
Lu Bu asked.
The reason why Liu Bei was able to fight on a par with Lu Bu was that Lu Bu followed Chen Gong's advice, conserved his strength first, and waited to see what Cao Cao wanted to do, so he did not go into full battle.
I don't care about this now. I first push Liu Bei to the ground and rub him, and then go back to Xiapi to prepare to deal with Cao Cao.
As for Pengcheng...
No more.
With only a thousand people defending Pengcheng, it would definitely not be able to stop Cao Cao's surprise attack. Sending troops back to rescue would only be a waste of troops.
"no problem!"
Zhang Liao and Gao Shun said in unison.
"Walk!"
Lu Bu said, without saying anything or stopping, he went back decisively.
Gao Shun and Zhang Liao led the remaining Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry and trapped soldiers to kill Liu Bei directly.
"Brother, Lu Bu is gone!"
Guan Yu said in surprise.
Jian Yong analyzed: "It should be that something unexpected happened over there in Xiapi, which forced Lu Bu to retreat. This is our chance to fight back to Xiaopei."
Zhang Fei looked at Zhang Liao and the others and said disdainfully: "Lü Bu only has this small force left and still wants to defend Xiaopei? What a joke! Look how I kill them all."
"Go to war!"
Liu Bei shouted.
Dong dong dong...
The sound of war drums echoed in the army.
Fighting alone, neither Zhang Liao nor Gao Shun could be Guan Zhang's opponent.
But when it comes to leading troops in battle and whose soldiers are better, Liu Bei and the others combined are no match for Zhang Liao and Gao Shun.
Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry was the first to attack.
The hoofs of the war horse were raised, and they trampled heavily on the ground with an astonishing force.
The knight on horseback rushed in front of Zhang Fei at the fastest speed. The long saber in the knight's hand slashed down with all his strength.
Lu Bu didn't have many cavalry left, and now he only had a thousand cavalry left for Zhang Liao.
The rest are infantry and soldiers trapped in the camp.
The infantry followed the cavalry and cooperated with each other to kill.
Liu Bei came to Xuzhou and was stationed in Xiaopei. It didn't last long, and he experienced many twists and turns along the way. He didn't get much time to train his troops, and his troops were not very good.
Now Lu Bu wants to fight seriously, Liu Bei cannot win at all.
The cavalry first can crush Liu Bei.
Zhang Fei was very disdainful just now, but now he was rubbed very hard.
"retreat!"
Liu Bei felt something was wrong.
This time, Lu Bu wanted to eliminate them all.
The fight could not continue, otherwise the whole army would really be annihilated. Liu Bei decisively ordered a retreat, but he also wanted to understand that Lu Bu's men were not so strong before.
How could it suddenly become so terrifying that they were unable to fight back?
