"Why is the lord laughing?"

Seeing Cao Cao's smile, the generals asked curiously.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the Son of Heaven and Lu Bu have just gone through a big battle, and both sides need to rest, at this time, Yuan Shu came to take advantage of the fire to rob, how many troops can the Son of Heaven deploy?"

Cao Cao asked with a smile.

The generals suddenly realized this time that the Son of Heaven and Lu Bu had experienced a big battle, and even if they barely made it to the battlefield, it would still be difficult to defeat Yuan Shu's elite army.

After calculation, only the 30,000 soldiers and horses under Liu Bei have not moved much except for attacking Xuzhou.

But Liu Bei is a hero, will he do his best to resist Yuan Shu?

Even if Liu Bei tried his best, he only had 30,000 soldiers and horses, how could he resist Yuan Shu?

What's more, if Yuan Shu moves, how can Yuan Shao in the north sit idly by?

"I expect that the Son of Heaven will be poor, and we will need to solve the problem at that time."

The smile on Cao Cao's face was thick, he had tens of thousands of troops in his hands, all of them were elites, and it was still not a problem to deal with Yuan Shu.

Moreover, Yuan Shu's attack this time just gave Cao Cao a chance to get back on the field.

At that time, the situation will change again, and it is difficult to say who Xuzhou will fall into.

……

Early the next morning, before the sun rose, Liu Xie gathered his subordinates Wenwu, as well as Lu Bu, Liu Bei and others in the palace of Xiapi City, and began to discuss affairs.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I think everyone has received the news, Yuan Shu sent the general Ji Ling to commit my Xuzhou, and now he is outside the city."

Liu Xie frowned and said, according to the distance, it should take some time to send troops from Shouchun, and it is still a hundred thousand people.

However, now that the battle of Xuzhou has just ended, Ji Ling has already come, I am afraid it was premeditated.

The most embarrassing thing is that everyone's energy was on the battle of Xuzhou before, and no one noticed Yuan Shu in the south at all.

"Yuan Shu, this bastard, I will poke him three hundred transparent holes!"

Zhang Fei shouted angrily.

"Third brother, don't talk nonsense in front of Your Majesty."

Liu Bei turned his head and glared at Zhang Laosan, who immediately stopped talking.

"Although Yuan Shu is hateful, it is important to retreat from the enemy in front of him."

Liu Xie frowned and said to Jia Xu: "Mr. Jia, you can explain the current situation to everyone." ”

"Although Ji Ling had 100,000 troops, he did not attack Xuzhou head-on, but instead attacked the five counties of Donghai, Dongguan, Langya, Guangling, and Pengcheng."

"These five counties, there are no heavy troops to defend them, and it is not a problem for Ji Ling to take them."

"I guess next, Ji Ling will besiege Xiapi."

Jia Xu analyzed, and everyone bowed their heads.

"Now, there is another problem, our army has just experienced a big battle with Wenhou, and both sides need to rest, if the soldiers are forced to go to the battlefield, I am afraid that they will pay a lot of casualties."

"Therefore, the next battle needs the help of Uncle Liu Huang."

After speaking, Jia Xu looked at Liu Bei.

"Garrison Xuzhou and repel Yuan Shu's army, it is incumbent on you to prepare."

Liu Bei replied firmly, then frowned, and asked, "It's just that our army is only 30,000 troops, how many troops can you send on Your Majesty's side?" ”

"Eight thousand Guanning iron cavalry under General Chang are available, and 20,000 infantry cavalry under General Zhang Liao are available."

Liu Xie replied that now Wei Wushu is still in the process of being formed, and no one has yet begun to recruit, and Bai Bojun is Liu Xie's treasure, and it is impossible to pay too many casualties.

This is less than 30,000 people, which is all the chips that Liu Xie can come up with.

"In this way, there is still hope for retreating from the enemy."

Liu Bei said.

"Wait a minute."

At this time, Lu Bu shouted, as a Sima of Xuzhou, he was excluded from the battle, and he was in a very unhappy mood.

He immediately said: "Why do we have to face the battle, although our army is tired, as long as we rest well, it is not difficult to break the 100,000 army of Ji Ling." ”

Lu Bu's words are actually right, there are 100,000 troops under him alone, although the quality is uneven, but with Lu Bu's martial arts, these 100,000 troops can also burst out with amazing combat effectiveness.

"No, we must take the initiative to attack, and we can't let Ji Ling surround Xiapi."

Jia Xu frowned and continued: "The food in Xiapi City is limited, and if it is surrounded, the food will not be able to be consumed at all. ”

"Moreover, I don't think that Cao Cao outside Xuzhou can rescue us, at that time, there will be no surplus food inside, no reinforcements outside, and we will definitely be defeated."

Jia Xu's analysis is actually very reasonable, and then he said: "Moreover, don't ignore Yuan Shao in the north, if Yuan Shao wants to go south, Xuzhou is also a must." ”

"If the two Yuan are surrounded by Pi, I'm afraid we won't even have a way to escape."

After Jia Xu finished speaking, everyone realized the seriousness of the situation, and the ambitions of the two wolf sons were all eyeing Xuzhou.

Now that Yuan Shu has set off, Yuan Shaozheng is afraid that he is watching the fire from the other side, if Ji Ling really surrounds Xiapi with his army, Yuan Shao will definitely raise a large army to attack, and it will be dangerous at that time.

Liu Xie also knew very well that Cao Cao would definitely not sit idly by and ignore Xuzhou, but letting Ji Ling surround Xiapi was losing, and letting Cao Cao save Xiapi was also losing.

Now, he can only use these 60,000 soldiers and horses to deal with Ji Ling's 100,000 army.

Next, Liu Xie issued a military order.

Guan Yu led 10,000 troops to save Donghai County.

Zhang Fei led 10,000 troops to save Dongguan County.

Zhang Liao led 10,000 troops to save Pengcheng County.

Zhang Liao divided 10,000 troops to Xu Huang to save Langya County.

Liu Xie and Liu Bei led 10,000 troops to save Guangling County, which Ji Ling attacked.

Lü Bu and Zhu Jun were responsible for defending the city, while Gao Shun and Cao Xing continued to recruit Wei Wushu, and the plan remained unchanged.

In addition, he often encountered the eight thousand Guanning iron horsemen under the command of Chun, and Liu Xie let them stay in the wild.

He had a hunch that Yuan Shu's side, if he saw the emptiness of Xiapi, he would not sit idly by.

After the military order was issued, the sky was already bright, and Liu Xie and Liu Bei took people to the school to order troops.

"Your Majesty!"

As soon as she walked out of the mansion, Lu Lingqi's voice sounded next to her, and she came in a military uniform.

"What are you?"

Liu Xie looked at her.

"Your Majesty, aren't you going to make me a concubine?"

Speaking of this, Lu Lingqi's face turned red, and she said: "Now that Xuzhou is in trouble, the concubine is brave and martial, just to solve problems for Your Majesty." ”

"Solve problems."

Liu Xie looked back at the fierce generals under his command, Fei Lian and Evil, and immediately smiled: "Since the concubine has this heart, how can I not follow it." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Lu Lingqi smiled slightly, held Fang Tian's halberd, and said, "Your Majesty, let's go." ”

……

Guangling County, outside the city.

"On the Son of Heaven's side, did he really divide his troops into five ways to relieve the siege of Xuzhou?"

In front of the army, a middle-aged military general dressed in black armor and holding a three-pointed two-edged sword sneered.

"In this way, the second plan can be activated, and I will pass the order to Zhang Xun."

Yang Hong, the military advisor under Yuan Shu, said with a smile, and immediately sent a message to another general, Zhang Xun.

Since the Son of Heaven wants to send troops to relieve the siege of the five counties, then Xiapi must be empty at this time, so let Zhang Xun go out and eliminate the governance of Xuzhou.

"Drive!"

At this time, a young man about fifteen years old, wearing a brocade robe, rode a horse to Ji Ling and Yang Hong's side.

"Childe, why are you here?"

Ji Ling asked curiously, and the one in front of him was Yuan Yao, the son of Yuan Shu, who regarded him as a treasure.

This time he trained with the army, but he did not participate in the war.

"Please let me fight, Liu Xie robbed my woman, I'm going to kill that bastard!"

Yuan Yao shouted angrily.
