Not far from Xuzhou City, only thirty miles away from Xuzhou City.

This is the battlefield where the armies of Wenpin and Tian Yu clashed.

The battle between Wenpin and Tian Yu actually began a few days ago, but Tian Yu only had more than 10,000 men and horses, after meeting Wenpin, Tian Yu did not get any benefits in the hands of Wenpin several battles, due to the lack of soldiers and horses, Tian Yu and Wenpin could only fight and retreat, all the way to Xuzhou not far away.

If it weren't for Jian Yong who came to support with some soldiers and horses from Xuzhou City, I was afraid that Tian Yu would not be able to hold on at this time and would be defeated by Wenpin's army.

It is precisely because of the more than 10,000 soldiers and horses led by Jian Yong who appeared here to support Tian Yu that Tian Yu could compete with Wen Ping here, and the two sides had several waves of small confrontations, but they failed to occupy any advantage, which began to calm down and formed a confrontation situation.

At this moment, in Tian Yu's military camp tent, Jian Yongzheng was discussing with Tian Yu how to resist the next wave of Wenpin's attack, but at this time, on this battlefield, a team of soldiers and horses appeared.

They came from the other direction and went straight to Xuzhou City.

After Tian Yu's spies noticed the news, they immediately came over and told Tian Yu.

"General, the secret agent of our army sent information that ten miles to the north, an unknown soldier and horse appeared."

Tian Yu, who was talking to Jian Yong, was immediately attracted by the herald under his command when he said this.

Immediately asked the herald.

"What? How many people are on the other side? Is it a civilian reinforcement? ”

At this moment, Tian Yu is most worried about the appearance of reinforcements in Wenpin, who already occupies some advantages, if there are reinforcements again, there are many soldiers and horses, then Tian Yu and Jian Yong want to compete with Wenpin, it will become more difficult.

So as soon as he heard that his subordinates said that they had found an unknown soldier and horse, Tian Yu was most worried that this soldier and horse would be Wen Ping's side.

The herald shook his head.

"General, our people don't know what the identity of the other party is, but the other party is quickly approaching in the direction of Xuzhou City, not like an enemy army, after all, they only have a few thousand."

"They are heading towards Xuzhou, from what direction?"

Jian Yong, who had not spoken all this time, immediately changed his face after hearing the herald's words at this moment, and hurriedly asked again.

The herald looked at Jian Yong and did not refuse, and immediately replied.

"Hui Junshi, these people are coming from the direction of Xiapi City."

"Xiapi City!"

After Jian Yong heard the herald's answer, his face changed suddenly, and he immediately couldn't sit still.

"It's not good, this should be our people, quickly send someone to pick it up immediately, let those people come to us, no, General Tian Yu, you go and see who those people are in command!"

Jian Yong originally wanted Tian Yu to send some men and horses to pick up those who came from the direction of Xiapi, but after thinking about it, it would be better for him and Tian Yu to go over in person.

At that moment, Tian Yu did not refuse, and immediately walked out of the military tent with Jian Yong.

They led a part of the soldiers and horses to pursue them directly in the direction that the herald said, and intercepted them when this part of the men and horses was about to approach Xuzhou City.

The two sides glanced at each other from a distance, and Tian Yu directly sent someone to ask who this part of the men and horses was.

"Whose soldiers and horses are the men and horses ahead? Who is the commander-in-chief? ”

The spies immediately approached the centaur army and shouted questions at them.

These soldiers and horses were none other than the remnants of Guan Yu and Zhao Yun who fled back to Xuzhou from Tanxian all the way.

Speaking of which, Guan Yu and Zhao Yun's remnants are also miserable.

After they fought with Liu Zheng's soldiers and horses outside Tanxian County and almost wiped out their entire army, although they fled from the battlefield, their soldiers and horses suffered heavy losses and were unable to continue fighting.

Guan Yu originally wanted to take the remaining remnants and flee directly back to Xiapi City, but planned to go to Xiapi City to recuperate temporarily, and continue to fight under Pi with the help of the 10,000 soldiers and horses in Xiapi City.

However, his move was stopped by Zhao Yun.

Zhao Yun did not recommend that Guan Yu continue to return to Xiapi City.

Because Guan Yu and Zhao Yun originally had 20,000 troops under them, they returned to Xiapi City with the strength of 20,000 troops to support Xiapi, and naturally they were captured, which could solve the dilemma of Xiapi being besieged.

But now that they have just suffered a defeat, Guan Yu and Zhao Yun, who have suffered heavy losses in their 20,000 troops, have less than 4,000 soldiers and horses left in their headquarters.

If you are a little careless, you will be easily defeated by Liu Zheng's other soldiers and horses, and then the gains will outweigh the losses.

In the event of defeat, the morale of Guan Yu and Zhao Yun was also greatly reduced, if they fought again, the chances of victory were very few, and Guan Yu was naturally clear.

Therefore, after Zhao Yun put forward the opinion that he could not return to Xiapi, Guan Yu, who had been pondering for a long time, finally decided not to return to Xiapi City to support.

This is also why Liu Zheng led people straight to Xiapi but did not, and saw the remnants of Guan Yu and Zhao Yun.

Because they didn't go in the direction of Picheng at all.

They did not go to Xiapi, but directly planned to return to Xuzhou.

Guan Yu knew that Liu Zheng's soldiers and horses had already moved, once they did not support Xiapi City, then Xiapi would definitely not be able to hold it, after losing Xiapi, the most direct danger was Xuzhou City, and only by returning to Xuzhou City to unite Liu Bei's remaining men and horses could they resist Liu Zheng's soldiers and horses.

So Guan Yu and Zhao Yun took a detour and returned to Xuzhou from another direction, which was also to avoid Liu Zheng's eyes and ears, so they delayed returning to Xuzhou City for some time.

There is now that Tian Yu has encountered this part of Guan Yu's remnants.

When Tian Yu's spies learned that this part of the soldiers and horses was actually Zhao Yun and Guan Yu's soldiers and horses, they were shocked, and they came to accept this part of Guan Yu and Zhao Yun's soldiers and horses together with Jian Yong.

The two sides returned to the frontline battlefield, and Guan Yujun, who had not eaten much after being hungry for several days, was finally able to rest well at this moment.

At the same time, Tian Yu, Jian Yong and others also knew about the situation in Xiapi City, especially when they learned that Guan Yu and Zhao Yun had suffered heavy losses in the ambush and there were few troops left, Jian Yong faintly began to feel a little uneasy.

He began to have some doubts about whether Xuzhou could block Liu Zheng's attack.

After Tian Yu and Guan Yu's men and horses converged, Guan Yu asked Zhao Yun to take these remnants of the soldiers and Tian Yu to fight against Wen Ping temporarily, and he immediately returned to Xuzhou City.

He wanted to report the current situation in Xuzhou to his eldest brother Liu Bei, and asked Liu Bei to go to Yanzhou immediately to increase his troops, otherwise according to the current situation, Xuzhou would be in danger.
