Xuzhou.

Liu Bei, who was on the city tower, looked at the open space outside the city, with a somewhat solemn expression.

Liu Zheng's army, which surrounded Xuzhou City not long ago, disappeared in the blink of an eye.

On the city tower, Guan Yu, who sensed something wrong, immediately reported the news to Liu Bei.

Liu Bei hurriedly returned to the city tower.

After observing from the city tower, he was also in deep thought, and he glanced at Guan Yu beside him.

"Yun Chang, where are Liu Zheng's people?"

Liu Bei wanted to know Liu Zheng's location, but he didn't dare to make a conclusion, so he could only ask Guan Yu first.

Guan Yu didn't know where Liu Zheng's men went, so he could only hesitate for a moment, and then he opened his mouth to answer Liu Bei.

"Big brother, it's hard for me to say where Liu Zheng's people went, but just now they suddenly withdrew and left in the direction of Guangling, very fast, as if there was something very urgent."

"What did you say?"

"His soldiers and horses passed in the direction of Guangling?"

As soon as he heard Guan Yu say that Liu Zheng was leaving from the direction of Guangling, Liu Bei's face immediately changed.

"Well, it's been a while since I left."

"Oh no, in the past two days, our people should have spread the news of Liu Zheng's siege of Xuzhou to General Gongsun Zhan, and most of Gongsun Zhan had already led himself to get men and horses to support us at this time, so Liu Zheng should have known the news, and he must have gone to Gongsun Zhan's people."

"Ah, what then?"

Guan Yu's face also changed, and he immediately realized the seriousness of this matter.

"Quick, immediately let our men and horses gather, we will catch up, no matter what, we can't let Gongsun Zhan's people fight Liu Zheng alone, otherwise they will not be Liu Zheng's opponents!"

Liu Bei still has a very clear understanding of Liu Zheng's strength.

He also understood that whether it was him or Gongsun Zhan, if he encountered Liu Zheng's cavalry alone, the result would be the same, so only if the two sides joined forces and dealt with Liu Zheng together could Liu Zheng be defeated.

Just when Liu Bei had just gathered his men and horses and was about to leave the city, a person quickly galloped over outside the city.

"Big brother, there is a situation. One of them came. ”

Guan Yu called out to Liu Bei.

Liu Bei walked up to the city tower again.

"Open the door! Open the door! ”

Outside the city, the man shouted from afar to the tower.

The guards of the city immediately responded.

"Who is under the city?"

"I am Zhao Yun, the commander of Baima Yicong under General Gongsun Zhan, and I was ordered to see Yanzhou Mu Liu Xuande!"

The situation was urgent, Zhao Yun galloped all the way from the battlefield to the outside of Xuzhou City, and he didn't care so much, so he reported his name directly to the city tower.

The soldiers on the castle tower were still a little hesitant, wanting to further confirm the identity of the other party.

But after Liu Bei, who happened to be standing on the city tower, heard this voice, his face immediately changed.

Of course, Liu Bei knew Zhao Yun's character, because Liu Bei himself had a special admiration for those white horses under the command of Gongsun Zhan, and he also made friends with Zhao Yun in private.

I thought of the soldiers and horses under Liu Zheng's command leaving from here. At this time, Liu Bei didn't know what was going on.

"It's really General Zhao Zilong! Open the gates and let him in! ”

Liu Bei immediately gave an order to the guards beside him and issued an order to open the city.

After hearing Liu Bei's order, the guard general did not dare to have any doubts, and immediately ordered the city gate to be opened.

At the same time, Liu Bei, Guan Yu and others also hurriedly walked down from the city tower.

Soon, Liu Bei met with Zhao Yun.

Zhao Yun, who finally returned to Xuzhou City, was a little urgent, he quickly dismounted, ran to Liu Bei, immediately knelt down, and bowed his hand at Liu Bei.

"Zhao Yun see Lord Yanzhou Mu Liu!"

"Zilong, please get up quickly, don't see outside!"

"You came here in such a hurry, what happened, looking at your outfit, it seems that there has just been a battle?"

"My lord, my general led more than 10,000 cavalry to support Xuzhou, but on the way encountered Liu Zheng's cavalry attack, they fought thirty miles away from Xuzhou City, and please send troops to rescue quickly, otherwise it will be difficult for my general to resist the impact of Liu Zheng's cavalry! At death's door! ”

Zhao Yun had a sad look on his face, and he was very worried about the battle between Gongsun Zhan and Liu Zheng.

At the moment, there was no other way but to ask Liu Bei to send troops quickly.

As soon as Liu Bei heard Zhao Yun's description, the expression on his face became even more ugly, because he had already guessed these things, and now after learning about this matter from Zhao Yun's mouth, he was even more worried. Like Zhao Yun, he was also worried about the safety of Gongsun Zhan and these horses.

"General Zilong, I have already expected these things to happen before, I have already prepared soldiers and horses, and I was planning to go over to investigate the movements of Liu Zheng's men, but I didn't expect you to come, without further ado, let's go over immediately!"

After Zhao Yun's request for help, how could Liu Bei not know the seriousness of the matter, he didn't hesitate in Xuzhou City at all, and after learning the news, he immediately led his soldiers and horses led by Zhao Yun to rush outside the city.

Hopefully, their swift support will arrive on the battlefield before the battle is over.

In less than an hour, Zhao Yun rode his horse and led the men and horses of Xuzhou to the battlefield.

It's just that on the battlefield at this time, there are corpses and bones everywhere, and the original yellow-brown land is stained with blood, and a smell of blood permeates this battlefield, and from time to time some crows fly over the sky, or land on these ruined corpses to eat something.

On the battlefield where the sound of killing was shaking the sky an hour ago, the silence was terrifying at this time.

As far as the eye could see, there was only one man standing on the entire battlefield, dressed in a tattered white robe and holding a spear.

After Zhao Yun and Liu Bei and a few other generals on horseback rushed to the battlefield, they saw this person still standing on the battlefield at a glance.

"General!"

Zhao Yun recognized this person at a glance as Gongsun Zhan, the general of their unified army, and immediately rushed towards Gongsun Zhan's side.

And just when Zhao Yun, Liu Bei and others rushed to the battlefield, Gongsun Zhan, who was still breathing, showed a hint of relief on his face, but he couldn't hold on anymore and fell to the ground.

Those who rushed to Gongsun Chan's side immediately discovered that the reason why Gongsun Chan was able to stand just now was because a spear that pierced his chest was stuck straight into the ground, so that he could still stand.

Now it seemed that the spear that pierced his chest had dealt him a fatal blow.
