Lu Bu let Song Xian and Hou Cheng enter Yuzhou to leave a way out for himself. This time, he didn't know if he could handle it. If he couldn't, he would go directly to Yuzhou.
Even though he was prepared and had thought about how to deal with Cao Cao and Liu Bei, he was worried that his preparations would be ineffective precisely because of these two people.
And even if he brings these 10,000 men to deal with Cao Cao and Liu Bei, the effect will not be great. At most, he will have a greater chance of defending Xuzhou.
But Lu Bu was not satisfied with just holding Xuzhou. These successive encounters made him know that Xuzhou was extremely dangerous. It also made him understand what the real place of the Four Wars was, and he had to open up new places.
Yuan Shu's control over Yuzhou today is not very strong. Most of the territory in Yuzhou is occupied by Yellow Turbans. Fortunately, he defeated Cao Cao twice before, causing Cao Cao to lose twenty to thirty thousand troops. The generals were either captured or injured. This allowed Cao Cao not to I have the opportunity to visit Yuzhou.
He must take advantage of this opportunity to capture Yuzhou as much as possible, not only to find a way out for himself, but also to retain the talents of Yuzhou and not leave them to Cao Cao and Liu Bei, especially Liu Bei.
Now Cao Cao and Liu Bei's eyes are attracted to Xiaopei, and Yuan Shu's eyes are attracted to Zhang Liao. Such a God-given opportunity, if he, Lu Bu, doesn't see it and doesn't take it, he deserves to be destroyed.
Lu Bu knew very well that if he didn't take it this year, he would have no chance at all. Once Cao Cao calmed down, he would definitely not let it go. There was no need to think about this. Otherwise, where would Cao Cao expand?
The reason for not attacking Liang is because the armies of Cao Cao and Liu Bei are now in Pei County. The battle here will not be finished by then, and there may be a new war. Once Cao Cao realizes that he is attacking Yuzhou, he may go crazy.
Although Cheng Lian who stayed in Xiapi seemed to have only 2,000 people, there were still 3,000 people from Hao Meng who were busy digging rice and waterways.
Cheng Lian and the other three were extremely shocked when they listened to Lu Bu's military order. They even had a question. Now that there are wars everywhere, do they have to go to Yuzhou again? Doesn't this open up a new battlefield?
However, neither Song Xian nor Hou Cheng asked. Now that the military order had been issued, Lu Bu was not negotiating with them. When it was time to obey the order, he had to obey the order.
"No! Lord, please rest assured. If we send troops to Yuzhou this time and fail to capture Pei and Chen, as well as the Runan department, we will come to see you in the end!"
Lu Bu looked at the two people and nodded immediately. There are no generals in Runan now. Except for the part controlled by Yuan Shu, Lu Bu still believes in Song Xian and Hou Cheng.
"Okay, time is urgent. You go down and assemble the army and set off. Remember, there is a man named Xu Chu in the Xu family in Qiao County, Peiguo. His courtesy name is Zhongkang. His force is not low. Even I can't take it easily. Down.
When you reach Qiao County, if the Xu family is unwilling to surrender, don't attack. As long as the Xu family doesn't run away, leave it alone. I will go there myself.
If you are good at making decisions and let me miss such a powerful general, don't blame me for undermining you. "
Song Xian and Hou Cheng wrote down the name Xu Chu in their minds, and then went down to assemble their troops and set off.
At this time, Cheng Lian looked at Lu Bu and knelt down on one knee.
"My lord, I will definitely take good care of Xiapi and protect the safety of several ladies. As long as I am alive, I will definitely protect you!"
Lu Bu helped Cheng Lian up and spoke in a deep voice.
"I believe in your ability!
After I left this time, and almost all the army was transferred away, you must pay attention to the actions of those in the city, arrest those who should be arrested, and kill those who dare to resist.
Now is the urgent time. If necessary, we will send some more people from Hao Meng. At the same time, we must tell Hao Meng that the seedlings and farmland must not be lost. Especially the seedlings are more important than people. You must keep an eye on me! "
After hearing this, Cheng Lian nodded vigorously, and Lu Bu immediately walked out of the commander's tent without further delay, mounted the red rabbit horse, and then led the wolf horse towards Zang Ba's place.
Xiaopei, Cao Cao and Liu Bei are launching an attack on Xiaopei. This time, it is the sixth attack, without any interruption.
"Brother Meng De, I can see that Lu Bu has probably expected our move, so he took precautions in advance. The situation now is not good for us."
Liu Bei's expression was full of seriousness. Since Lu Bu was already on guard, it seemed to Liu Bei that it would be extremely difficult to recapture Xuzhou. At this time, he already wanted to retreat. After all, he only had so many people, and Liu Bei didn't want to just do this. Lost in vain here.
After listening to Liu Bei's words, Cao Cao turned his eyes to Xiao Pei. There was even a smile on his face, but he shook his head at Liu Bei's proposal in his heart.
"Xuande, even if Lu Bu is on guard now, there will definitely not be many available troops. Xiaopei is a small city, how can Lu Bu defend it? The most important thing now is to capture Xiaopei before Lu Bu arrives, otherwise , that is when everything is truly over.
In addition, Xuande's sergeants must be taken good care of. On the battlefield, they were shrinking. In this battle, Cao was assisting Xuande in sending troops to Xuzhou to recapture Xuzhou. I can't let my people take responsibility for anything. In front?
After all, Xuzhou will be handed over to Xuande in the end. It doesn't fit in with the emotions and reasons.
Of course, if Xuande insists on withdrawing his troops, that's okay. We will just withdraw our troops. All this depends on Xuande's decision. "
Cao Cao looked at Liu Bei with a smile on his face. He really wanted to know how Liu Bei should make a choice. He also saw Liu Bei's shortcomings: he had no plans and was not good at military strategy. If there were talented people to help him, Liu Bei's two The shortcomings will also disappear, but they don't exist now. He needs to make his own decisions for everything.
Although Liu Bei's expression did not change at all, he was still struggling in his heart. Soon, Liu Bei seemed to have made a decision.
"Second brother, you lead people over to supervise the battle. Anyone who cowers and dares not move forward, or who retreats without permission, will be killed!"
Let the third brother increase the intensity of the siege and make sure to break the city as soon as possible! "
Liu Bei also thought clearly that this might be his last chance to take back Xuzhou. If he missed it, he would miss Xuzhou completely. Liu Bei didn't want to miss this opportunity.
He has had enough of the days of being dependent on others and wandering around. Although he doesn't show it on his face, he is also very eager in his heart, eager to have an inheritance of his own.
Cao Cao looked at Liu Bei with a smile on his face, but his vigilance in his heart was even higher. When he should be ruthless, he must be ruthless. Obviously Liu Bei already had it, and he was very decisive and not sloppy at all.
Liu Bei then looked at Cao Cao.
"Brother Meng De, please help me!"
When Cao Cao heard this, he immediately responded in a deep voice.
"Don't worry Xuande, Cao will definitely help you with all his strength!"
Subsequently, Cao Cao also increased his troops and began to attack the city together with Liu Bei's army. Xiaopei's situation suddenly became somewhat precarious.
