Nearly a watch, Zhang Fei led 500 cavalry and appeared outside the east gate.

The darkness provides a good cover for the cavalry team, and at this time, there are already scouts in the army who come forward to observe the situation above the city, and as long as they get their own code, they will enter the city and drive the Xuzhou army away.

After all, the Xuzhou army has a resounding reputation among the princes, and the Qingzhou army ended in failure when fighting against the Xuzhou army, and it is reasonable for the generals in the army to be nervous before the war is coming, but when the generals in the army think of the benefits they can get after breaking through the city, their hearts can not be calm.

Wealth and danger are sought, at present, they are the generals in the Qingzhou army, so they have to make more efforts for the war, and as a general in the army, they do not necessarily have to take the lead on the battlefield.

Even the generals in the army have such thoughts, and one can imagine what kind of state the soldiers under their command are.

In fact, more young people entered the army in order to survive in the troubled times, otherwise, there would be no more fields at home, and they could only starve, or even starve to death under such circumstances.

After entering the army, although there will be certain dangers, at least you can be fed and clothed, which is already a luxury for the people.

The princes control a lot of wealth in their hands, in order to be able to form an army to resist the attack of the enemy when the princes are competing, as for what kind of tribulations the people will endure in such a process, in the eyes of the princes, it is not so important, as long as their own strength is guaranteed, they can have more things to do when the princes are competing, and even become the leader among the princes.

Becoming the overlord among the princes is the dream pursued by many princes, and the current situation of the Han Dynasty is similar to that of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and the powerful princes disdain the orders of the imperial court, and even have other remarks about the imperial court.

Although the existence of the imperial court still has a certain meaning for the princes, their respect for the imperial court is no longer what it used to be.

If a war breaks out, how many princes will take care of the affairs of the court.

Now Dong Zhuo's old thief has died, but how many of the princes want to attack Chang'an and welcome the emperor back.

When the princes have enough strength in their hands, their ambitions will grow, and they have enough power in their hands, so why should they continue to obey the orders of the imperial court, it seems that it is better if the situation continues to be maintained.

In such a process, there will be more and more princes who will be eliminated and become the capital of other princes.

However, Lu Bu is obviously not in the ranks of such princes, because the existence of Lu Bu is an outlier among the princes, when Lu Bu is completely stabilized in Xuzhou and Yanzhou, it must be a nightmare for the surrounding princes, when facing the heroic and warlike Xuzhou army, how many princes can guarantee that they will win in the war?

If you lose the war, the consequences will be even more serious.

Lü Bu's achievements among the princes were based on the strong strength of the officers and men in the army, and if the performance of the officers and men in the army in the war was not satisfactory, Lü Bu would have been wiped out by the other princes.

After all, Lu Bu's occupation of Xuzhou is unjustifiable, and if the princes have enough strength to threaten Lu Bu, they often just need an excuse to start a war against Xuzhou.

Although the princes have a lot of contempt for Lu Bu, but when they really fight, they actually have a sense of awe for Lu Bu, mainly because Lu Bu's performance on the battlefield is too strong, and the strength of the Xuzhou army is too strong.

The army of the princes fought on the battlefield in order to win, and when facing the powerful princes, the princes were often more cautious.

At this time, Liu Bei was like this, knowing that there was an internal response in the city, and it would be a simple matter to attack the counties and win, but Liu Bei was uneasy in his heart.

The affairs of the Zhu family were done through Kong Rong, if the Zhu family could not open the city gate smoothly, or if the Zhu family did it on purpose, it would be a big loss for the Qingzhou army.

Although the Xuzhou army is only 3,000 people, they have the advantage of the city, and they can play a great role in defending against the enemy's attack.

Xuzhou is famous for its wealth all over the world, even if it is facing the war, the Xuzhou army does not need to worry about the grain and grass baggage, even if there is more consumption in the war, in the eyes of the Xuzhou army, it is irrelevant.

This is also the biggest advantage of the Xuzhou army in the battle with the enemy, when the officers and soldiers do not need to worry about the grain and grass, their equipment is also sophisticated, and even have the advantage of the city, in the war can bring a lot of trouble to the attacking side.

After stabilizing his mind, Liu Bei quietly waited for the news.

Liu Bei is not a person who suffers from gains and losses, since he has decided to attack Xuzhou, he will make more efforts for the war, and if Xuzhou is broken, it is also Liu Bei's responsibility, as long as it can make the enemy pay a heavy price in this confrontation, even if there are more dangers in the war, it is worth it in Liu Bei's opinion.

If you want to be the best among the princes, you have to do more when the war breaks out.

"General, there is a secret signal from the city, and it is ready." A scout rode up and shouted.

When Zhang Fei heard this, his spirits were uplifted, this attack on the counties, originally thought that there would be a lot of trouble, who knew that the war was so simple, when the city had the Qingzhou Army's internal response, such a thing as attacking the city became much simpler.

When attacking the city, with the advantage of the Qingzhou army in terms of numbers, it will definitely be able to make the enemy pay a heavy price, this confrontation, for the Qingzhou army is of great significance, want to win from the battle against the Xuzhou army, it is not easy, but after the victory, can make the morale of the Qingzhou army more high.

As Liu Bei, who commanded the Qingzhou Army's attack this time, he will also get more fame.

Kong Rong doesn't pay much attention to the reputation of victory, after all, Kong Rong is a civil official, but Liu Bei is different, after having a more resounding reputation, it means that he can use his reputation to recruit more talents for his own use in the future.
