"Attack! Kill me!" Early the next morning, at dawn, Cao Ren took the lead and attacked Xuzhou directly, causing Tao Qian to wake up from his sleep, "What's going on? Why did Cao's army attack the city so early? "Tao Qian asked hurriedly, making everyone shake their heads in secret. "Sir, if someone comes to beat you, do they still need to tell you the time?"
"Lord, Cao's army is attacking the city, do we want to fight?" Mi Zhu asked
"You can't fight if you put up the exemption card!" Tao Qian shouted, how could he defeat Cao Cao? The purpose of sending people to escort Cao Song was to please Cao Cao. If he could defeat him, he would have done it long ago!
"But we have been putting up the no-war card. Cao Cao doesn't care about this at all. Even if he wants to attack the city, we have to prepare?" Mi Zhu was a little helpless. This Tao Qian was too bookish, he was just a nerd!
"Then please ask Liu Bei for help!" Tao Qian was really anxious at this time and couldn't care less about Liu Bei's ambitions. Otherwise, his own life would be in danger, so why not worry about anything else!
"Kill!" Cao Ren was brave and personally commanded the army to attack the city. As a defensive master, Cao Ren also had his own methods and strategies for attacking the city. Under his command, Xuzhou was in danger!
"Brother, we can't wait any longer, or we will be invaded by Cao Cao!" Zhang Fei said anxiously. After saying this, he no longer cared about Liu Bei's reaction. Zhang Fei took his Yanyun Eighteen Cavalry and killed them. These ten Nine people, headed by Zhang Fei, attacked in a wild goose feather formation. Zhang Fei opened the way in front, and eighteen people were responsible for killing the chaotic enemy troops. They rushed into Cao Cao's army in an instant, knocking Cao Cao's soldiers out of formation!
"Hurry up and support your third brother!" Liu Bei didn't say much nonsense when he saw Zhang Fei fighting out. Even if he was dissatisfied with Zhang Fei, he couldn't find trouble with him at this time. He had to cooperate with Zhang Fei to fight off Cao Cao first.
"Okay! Come with me!" Guan Yu carried the Qinglong Yanyue Sword, and the axemen with five hundred swords also went out and approached Zhang Fei! The two teams were very lethal to Cao's army. These people had all seen the scene of Liu Guan and Zhang fighting Lu Bu. They never dreamed that they would meet them this time. They really wanted to cry without tears!
"Haha, what a joy!" Zhang Fei led eighteen people to kill Cao Cao's army in one breath, and relied on Zhang Fei's bravery to give him a gut punch. "Good! General Zhang is so brave!" Tao Qian kept clapping his hands and praising Zhang Fei and Liu Bei. At the same time, the officials in Xuzhou were also trying to please Liu Bei and others. This situation made Tao Qian sigh in his heart. Liu Bei had just arrived a few days ago. Oh my God, I actually got into a heated fight with these people. It seems that my Xuzhou is about to change hands. Tao Qian looked at his two useless sons, and then at the gentle yet cruel Liu Bei. He could only sigh. Now He regretted very much that he flattered Cao Cao, but instead of being beaten by the fox, he got into trouble. It was really unreasonable!
"You bastard, this Liu Bei really dares to attack me!" Cao Cao was furious. He thought Liu Bei was just here to be a peacemaker, but he didn't expect to be caught off guard by Zhang Fei. He lost thousands of troops in vain, especially in the army. Guan Yu, every time the Qinglong Yanyue Sword is swung, a large number of people will be taken away, and Zhang Fei also kills him again. The most important thing is that Zhang Fei looks like he is aiming at him! Cao Cao is still very afraid of Zhang Fei. There are not many people who can be at a good disadvantage against Lu Bu Hard Steel for hundreds of rounds!
"Thief Cao, take your life!" Zhang Fei shouted loudly, like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, which made people's ears buzz and bluffed Cao's army to the point where all the generals and generals turned pale. Guan Yu also took this opportunity They fought towards Cao Cao, making way for the army wherever they went. Cao Cao was so angry that he almost came to fight with his long spear, but when he thought of the abilities of these two men, Cao Cao was also heartbroken!
"Lord, don't panic, Xu Chu is coming, Dian Wei is coming!" Just when Cao Cao was feeling cold, he heard the voices of his two generals, which made Cao Cao feel relieved. Xiahou Yuan, Cao Ren and others also relaxed and concentrated on commanding. Siege the city!
"Bang!" Guan Yu's broadsword struck Dian Wei's iron halberd hard, emitting a burst of dazzling sparks and harsh sounds. The two knew it as soon as they fought. Guan Yu's hands were numb and he almost couldn't hold the Qinglong Yanyue Sword, while Dian Wei Wei Ye's weapon almost came out of his hands. At this time, Guan Yu's eyes that had been squinting were completely opened, and his three-foot long beard was swaying in the wind. Guan Yu did not get angry and was in awe, and directly confronted Dian Wei head-on, and Guan Yu's sword became faster and faster. It was coming faster and faster, and Dian Wei was so frightened that he was killed! In terms of strength, there is not much difference between the two, but Guan Yu uses a sword with both hands, while Dian Wei uses a pair of halberds, which is a bit of a disadvantage. However, Dian Wei Sheng is flexible and changeable. As a fierce general, Dian Wei firmly believes that great strength can produce miracles. There was a time when Guan Yu was exhausted. The two of them exchanged more than eighty moves in a short time. Cao Cao and Liu Bei were sweating coldly when they saw it, especially Liu Bei. His biggest help was outside the city. If there were three advantages and two disadvantages, then his dream of being a hero would be a real one. Dream!
Just when Guan Yu and Dian Wei were fighting, Zhang Fei and Xu Chu also collided fiercely. Zhang Fei shouted and attacked at the same time. The Zhangba snake spear in his hand was like a poisonous snake, attacking from various angles, causing Xu Chu to attack all over the world. The body was cold, and the sword in Xu Chu's hand was heavy, so he could only use wounds to injure him. It was a pity that he met such a fierce man as Zhang Fei. No matter how you hit me, I will always attack. Xu Chu wanted to bully Zhang Fei's snake spear, but he didn't expect it. Zhang Fei is not only fast, but also very strong. After dozens of rounds, Xu Chu found that he spent most of his time on defense. Attacking has now become Xu Chu's biggest luxury!
The four generals caught each other and fought each other. This was no less exciting than Liu Guan and Zhang fighting Lu Bu at Hulao Pass. Everyone watching was mesmerized. Even the fighting stopped. Tao Qian kept mumbling, "No one can do it." He couldn't hear what he was saying, only Liu Bei had a mysterious and vague smile on his face. Cao Cao frowned as he looked at it. With Liu Bei joining in, his attack would not go smoothly, and at this time, Cao Cao received a The important information is that Yuan Shao has killed Gongsun Zan, and this kid will probably attack him next. This makes Cao Cao a little distressed. What he is most afraid of at this time is extraneous things!
"The governor can send Danyang's elite troops to fight. Now the morale of Cao's army has been exhausted. Our morale is strong and we can fight Cao's army with one strength. In addition, we are waiting for work at leisure. Cao Cao is far away from work, so we can teach him a lesson. Let's He doesn't dare to underestimate us anymore!" Liu Bei suddenly said, Liu Bei is very greedy for Danyang's elite soldiers, but he has never had the opportunity to contact them. Now is an excellent time. As long as he is allowed to take over, then these Danyang soldiers will have to His surname is Liu!
Hearing Liu Bei's words, Mi Zhu's eyes flashed, and his understanding of Liu Bei deepened. At this time, Mi Zhu made up his mind and planned to tie himself to Liu Bei's chariot! "Yes, my lord, what Liu Shijun said makes sense, and I agree to send troops!" Mi Zhu said. As the richest man in Xuzhou, he did not want Cao Jun to invade, otherwise the Mi family's wealth would become Cao Cao's.
Hearing Mi Zhu's words, Tao Qian smiled bitterly in his heart. It seems that the Mi family is joining forces with Liu Bei. I believe that it won't be long before he is poisoned by them. It seems that the biggest crisis comes from the city. Tao Qian I wanted to refuse, but seeing so many people in agreement, I didn't say much, "You don't need to leave Danyang's elite troops, you just need to hold on at the top of the city. Cao's army will definitely retreat if they don't leave for three days, and their morale will be low!" "Just when Tao Qian was in trouble, Chen Deng spoke! As the person with the highest IQ in the early Three Kingdoms period, Chen Deng's words were still very intimidating, which made Tao Qian feel very happy. As expected of Chen Yuanlong, he destroyed Liu Bei and Mi Zhu's plan in just a few words!
"But the two generals Guan and Zhang are fighting under the city. If we don't send troops to support, will there be any damage?" Mi Zhu still had a glimmer of hope and persuaded Tao Qian. When Mi Zhu said this, Liu Bei also took it very seriously. Afraid that his right-hand man would be involved, he could not help but frown slightly and look affectionate, making Chen Deng and his son laugh secretly!
"Kill!" Zhang Fei shouted violently. He finally met an opponent. Zhang Fei was completely excited. The spear in his hand flew up and down, sometimes on the left, sometimes on the right, like a butterfly dancing gracefully or a dragonfly stepping on the river. The water was poured sometimes quickly, sometimes slowly, which made Cao Jun go crazy. But it was much more troublesome for Xu Chu to deal with it. Faced with such unpredictable marksmanship, Xu Chu tried his best, using his broadsword to block the left and right, and finally succeeded. After persisting, as Zhang Fei increased his speed, Xu Chu was also a little flustered. Finally, Zhang Fei whipped him off his horse, which frightened Cao Cao's face.
"Attack the whole army, go and rescue General Xu!" Cao Cao shouted, his voice became sharp. When Dian Wei saw Xu Chu fell from his horse, he was filled with anger. He was anxious and angry, and he directly swung two large iron halberds. He greeted Guan Yu and violently exchanged blows with Guan Yu. After a while, Guan Yu was shocked and his internal organs were injured. Guan Yu braced himself and waved his numb hands. When he saw Cao Jun coming over like a tide, he felt that he was no match. After greeting Zhang Fei, the two led their troops to fight back to Xuzhou City, hoping that they would no longer despise Cao Jun so much. Liu Bei also frowned. His two most powerful generals had been restrained. If you want to deal with Cao Cao again, it won't be that easy!
"Thanks to Liu Shijun for helping me, otherwise Xuzhou would not have been able to be defended!" Seeing that Guan Yu and others returned to the city safely, Tao Qian said. Although his face was full of gratitude and luck, Tao Qian's heart felt vague I'm a little happy. This defeat will probably take a hit to Liu Bei's reputation in Xuzhou!
"Your Majesty, the Governor has given you a reward. This time, Bei made a mistake in judgment, which led to him being so passive. I didn't expect Cao Mengde to envy these two generals. It's really frustrating!" Liu Bei sighed and said that as long as Guan and Zhang are fine, Liu Bei will be relieved. Although he also had some thoughts about Xuzhou, Liu Bei would never allow it to be exchanged for Guan and Zhang!
"Alas, Cao Mengde is determined to win Xuzhou!" Tao Qian sighed, feeling helpless. Do he really want to hand over Danyang's elite soldiers to Liu Bei?
"Sir, if it doesn't work, let Danyang's elite troops go to fight!" Mi Zhu advised. Now he is Liu Bei's die-hard ally. Only by strengthening Liu Bei's strength can he have more say. He is rich and can rival the country, but he doesn't have much. Armed, I know the Danyang elite soldiers in Xuzhou quite well. If I pull them over, I will not be alone!
"No! Danyang's elite soldiers can defend the city. The walls of Xuzhou are high and the pools are thick. If Cao Cao is guarded by elite soldiers, Cao Cao will not be able to get in. If we go out of the city to fight, it is very likely that Cao Cao will annihilate Danyang's soldiers. Then we will be even more passive!" Chen Deng! Objection
"This!" Tao Qian didn't know what to do for a moment. What the two men said was reasonable. Tao Qian himself didn't want Danyang soldiers to go out to fight, but now he needed Liu Bei's help, and Tao Qian didn't dare to say anything. died!
"Brother, Cao's army is brave and has strong generals to help him. It is really not suitable to go to war!" Guan Yu said. After a period of rest, Guan Yu's face was not so pale, and more or less rosy!
"That's right, Cao Cao found two generals somewhere. They are very powerful. If we continue to fight, the two of us can escape unscathed, but the soldiers who followed us out will not be so safe!" Zhang Fei sighed, for Xu Chu he I'm still a little impressed. There are not many people who can escape from his violent attack. This Xu Chu can be regarded as a fierce general!
"In this case, let's prepare to defend the city!" Liu Bei said helplessly. The plan could not keep up with the changes. It seems that he is busy again this time!
"Attack! Trample Xuzhou and prepare to massacre the city!" Cao Ren shouted. This attack order made everyone's hearts tighten. The real critical moment has come. One bad move will destroy all life in Xuzhou!
"Kill!" Cao Cao's army attacked the city wall crazily. Cao Cao knew that the Qingzhou army was all bandits, and some were even from the Black Mountain army. They all knew what massacring the city meant, which was unlimited vent and wealth, so with this order, Cao Jun was excited! They screamed and charged forward, making Tao Qian and others feel numb. Although they were in high positions, they rarely saw such bloody scenes. Even when they attacked Dong Zhuo last time, Tao Qian was watching from behind. I have never been to the front line, but this time I truly experienced the cruelty of war!
Danyang's elite soldiers opened fire on the city wall, shooting bows and arrows down like crazy. Pieces of bows and arrows were shot over, causing tons of damage. After the bows and arrows passed, what was left on the ground were pieces of corpses, and even many who were not dead. Cao Jun was wailing there! The entire city of Xuzhou is really miserable and miserable, and the pungent smell of blood is everywhere! "Haha, hold on! Kill them all!" Zhang Fei finally breathed a sigh of relief. The last time he fought with Xu Chu, Zhang Fei suffered the disadvantage of having fewer soldiers, allowing Cao Cao's army to force him and Guan Yu. The law goes one step further!
"Get the siege truck!" Yu Jin personally directed Cao's army to attack the city. The archers suppressed Xuzhou's city defense army, and then took the opportunity to push the siege truck, allowing Cao's army to slowly approach the city wall step by step!
"Quick! Shoot the arrows, block me, don't let Cao's army get close to the city gate!" Liu Bei really worked hard, showing off his special skills, and kept directing Danyang's elite troops to fight!
The battle between the two armies was in full swing, and the battle entered a tug-of-war stage. Cao Jun's several attacks on the city ended in failure, and Liu Bei also took the opportunity to gain a lot of hearts and minds in Xuzhou. Tao Qian saw that his right to speak was becoming more and more important. Young, so in front of everyone, he wanted to give Xuzhou Mu to Liu Bei. Although Liu Bei wanted to take over, for the sake of his own reputation, Liu Bei still refused, and he refused very righteously, as if Tao Qian was doing this. It's like insulting him!
"Since Liu Shijun has an opinion, it's better not to give in. Let's wait until we defeat Cao Cao!" Mi Zhu said. Although he was a little confused about Liu Bei's choice, Mi Zhu would not persuade him because he was afraid of causing trouble. Outrage!
"Yes, yes! It's important to defeat Cao Cao!" Others also took the opportunity to say. Seeing Liu Bei rejecting Tao Qian, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. These people were quite afraid of Liu Bei!
"Okay, please take care of this war, Commander Liu!" Tao Qian said with a smile. Since Liu Bei refused, he would be more relieved!
Five days after Cao Cao besieged Xuzhou, Liu Bei received the news that Gongsun Zan was defeated and burned himself. This was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue for Liu Bei. Now Liu Bei was truly homeless. All Jizhou and Youzhou were in Yuan Shao's hands, and Bingzhou was said to be It is also secretly controlled by Yuan Shao. Qingzhou and Yanzhou are both under the control of Cao Cao. The two capitals and three auxiliaries are firmly controlled by Dong Zhuo. Jiangdong and Jingzhou are confronting each other. Yizhou, which is far away, is also at war with Hanzhong. The only thing that can be obtained now is Xuzhou, Liu Bei now regrets not accepting Tao Qian's seal. But then I thought about it, if Cao Cao's army doesn't retreat, it doesn't matter who Xuzhou's pastor is. As long as he defeats Cao Cao and accumulates reputation in Xuzhou, then Xuzhou will be in his pocket! Liu Bei took advantage of his free time to do various things for the people in Xuzhou City. At the same time, he secretly contacted major aristocratic families. With the help of the Mi family, Liu Bei gathered many local nobles and people. By the time Tao Qian found out, he had already It was too late, Liu Bei had gradually matured. Tao Qian thought about it secretly. In order to save the lives of his family, he had to give in to Liu Bei again and give the seal of Xuzhou Mu to Liu Bei, while Liu Bei listened to Mi Zhu. The suggestion was rejected again, not for any other reason, but because there were still hundreds of thousands of Cao's troops under the city. Even if Liu Bei wanted to capture Xuzhou, he would be unable to do so!
"Reporting to my lord, Zhang Miao was instigated by Yuan Shao to rebel. Now he has started to cause rebellion in Yanzhou, and the army is attacking Xuchang!" Cao Cao was preparing the next battle plan in the camp, and suddenly he received a piece of news that made him heartbroken.
"What? Zhang Miao rebelled? Yuan Benchu, you really did attack me!" Cao Cao was furious and said coldly. The chill in his words made Yu Jin and others feel like they had fallen into an ice cave!
"Lord, we can't make any mistakes in Yanzhou and Qingzhou. We should quickly return to support our troops. Otherwise, with Yuan Shao's reputation and Zhang Miao's many years of management, our base camp will probably be lost!" Xiahou Dun said quickly
"Yes, now it is all due to the design of Mr. Xun Yu and Cheng Yu to defend Zhang Miao, but only dozens of cities can be saved! I think the base camp should be rescued first. As for Xuzhou, it is a sourceless water. We can attack at any time Take it, if you lose Yanzhou and Qingzhou, even if you get Xuzhou, it will be just a piece of fat on someone else's lips!" Yu Jin talked eloquently!
"Well, it seems that this is the only way. Let's give Liu Bei some face and let him look after Xuzhou for me for a few days!" Cao Cao said with some pity, because Cheng Yu recommended Liu Ye, a clan clan member of the Han Dynasty. The people have specially designed siege engines, which are about as powerful as Cheng Feng's siege engines. With the help of these equipment, Cao Cao is confident that he can conquer Xuzhou within three days, but the time is not right now!
"The army is about to start, set off immediately, cover the retreat alternately, and do not give Liu Bei a chance to pursue. Xia Houyuan is the vanguard and rushes into Xuchang first. He will ban the governor's rear army and handle military affairs with full authority!" Cao Cao ordered
"Yes, my lord!"
