Chapter 72: Liu Bei came to help

"Death to those who stand in my way!"

Guan Yu rode his horse and carried a knife, killing wantonly in the crowd, as if entering a no-man's land.

Several years have passed, and Guan Yu's strength has advanced again and reached its peak.

"Take me Xu Chu a knife!"

On one side, Cao Cao's general Xu Chu killed him.

Guan Yu's face remained unchanged, and he slashed out.

"Ding!"

The two knives collided instantly, and the ferocious collision made Xu Chu's weapon notched, as for Guan Yu's Qinglong Yanyue Knife, although it was damaged, it was not a big problem.

One blow was comparable, and in the face of Xu Chu, Guan Yu was no longer careless and devoted himself to the battle.

Soon Guan Yu and Xu Chu fell into a war, Guan Yu's strength needless to say, and Xu Chu is also a brave and extraordinary general.

At the same time, Zhang Fei was invincible in all directions, such as Yu Ban, Le Jin, Cao Hong and others couldn't stop Zhang Fei at all.

Cao's army array suffered an unprecedented impact, and Cao Cao never thought that Liu Bei would actually lead troops to kill, and it was such a huge army.

"Liu Bei, Liu Bei, Liu Bei!"

Cao Cao shouted again and again, extremely angry.

"Withdraw!"

In desperation, Cao Cao could only choose to withdraw.

In this regard, neither Tao Qian's men nor Liu Bei's men chose to pursue.

In this battle, Cao Cao was about to take Xuzhou City, but he was destroyed by Liu Bei, who he expected not to kill.

"Yun Chang, you lead the troops to camp on the spot, and Yide takes five hundred people into the city with a certain one."

After the end of the war, Liu Bei immediately arranged the rest of the matter.

"No!"

……

"Thank you Xuande for saving your life!"

Seeing Liu Bei coming, Tao Qian knelt down and thanked him.

"Lord Thorn Shi, what are you doing!"

Liu Bei hurriedly helped Tao Qian up.

"Xuande, you not only saved a certain person, saved the Tao family, but also saved the people and soldiers of Xuzhou City, you can afford this worship."

Tao Qian said that he would continue to kneel, but Liu Bei could not let him get his wish.

"Liu Bei is the queen of Gaozu and a Han official, how can he watch his colleagues be in danger and the people are in trouble, this time the aid is taken for granted in Liu Bei's opinion."

Liu Bei said in a deep voice.

"Xuande benevolence and righteousness, Tao Qian admires!"

Tao Qian's face was full of bitterness, at first he was not optimistic about Liu Bei's support, after all, Liu Bei's Qingzhou was unstable in his opinion, which also led to the Tao Shang's attitude was not good.

But he never thought that in the end, it was this Liu Bei who was not favored by him who came to his aid, and Tao Qian's heart was ashamed at this time.

"Lord Assassin Shi is for the country and the people, loyal to the court, kind to the people, is a good official praised by everyone, Liu Bei still has a lot to learn from Lord Assassin Shi."

Liu Bei said solemnly.

"Xuande, don't call him Lord Thorn Shi, how old is Xuande, if Xuande doesn't dislike it, then call him brother."

Like Kong Rong at the beginning, Tao Qian's attitude towards Liu Bei has undergone a major change.

"Brother Gongzu!"

Liu Bei satisfied Tao Qian and called him his brother.

"Being able to get to know Xuande is a great blessing in Tao Qian's life."

Tao Qian laughed.

"It is also Liu Bei's luck to be able to call Brother Gongzu a brother."

Liu Bei said with a smile.

"Don't say more polite words, Xuande thinks how to retire Cao Cao this time?"

In an instant, Tao Qian's smile turned into a solemn color.

"Cao Cao's father died and his brother died, obviously he was blinded by hatred, and he planned to write a letter to persuade him to withdraw from the army, otherwise he could only meet with his sword soldiers."

Liu Bei said solemnly, in fact, Liu Bei is not sure about the letter to retreat from the enemy, but he always has to try it if he has the opportunity.

"According to Xuande's words, first persuade by letter, and then try to do other things."

Obviously, Tao Qian regarded Liu Bei as the backbone, but this is not wrong, after all, Liu Bei has more troops than him.

"Thank you Brother Gongzu for your trust!"

Liu Bei gave up.

"It should be a thank you Xuande, there is Lao Xuande."

Tao Qian hurriedly spoke.

That night, Liu Bei wrote a letter, and early the next morning, someone went straight to Cao Ying with Liu Bei's letter.

……

"He Liu Bei is also worthy of persuading a certain soldier to retreat!"

After Cao Cao read Liu Bei's letter, he threw it away.

"Lord, Liu Bei has already sent troops, and the difficulty of attacking Xuzhou this time has obviously increased, and our army must not move rashly in the future."

Cheng Yu persuaded.

"Lord, according to his subordinates, this Liu Bei brought so many soldiers and horses to Xuzhou, I'm afraid he has other ideas besides rescuing Xuzhou."

Guo Jia said with a smile.

"Does Feng Xiao mean that Liu Bei is also fighting Xuzhou's idea?"

Cao Cao asked in a deep voice.

"Although Liu Bei now has 100,000 soldiers and horses, he has no money or food, and he can't afford to raise so many soldiers and horses, and most of these soldiers and horses are Yellow Turban people, and there are not many loyal to Liu Bei, this is one of them,

Second, Qingzhou's terrain is average, there is no natural danger to defend, easy to attack and difficult to defend, and Liu Bei, Qingzhou is not the most stable place to live, after all, Yuan Shao is also staring. ”

Guo Jia explained to Cao Cao.

"It seems that this Liu Bei is just a hypocrisy."

Cao Cao sneered, and after listening to Guo Jia's words, Cao Cao looked down on Liu Bei a little.

"Maybe this is not Liu Bei's idea, but the idea of his strategists, his subordinates heard that Liu Bei's strategists are unusually talented, not only helped Liu Bei handle government affairs very well, but also helped Liu Bei subdue Guan Hai and other Yellow Turban soldiers."

Guo Jia spoke again.

"No matter whose idea it is, this Xuzhou will not be given to others, Tao Qian will be killed, and Xuzhou will be taken."

Cao Cao said toughly.

"The lord is wise!"

Cao Cao's remarks were approved and recognized by a group of generals.

Soon Liu Bei got the news that Cao Cao refused to negotiate peace, and in desperation, he had to find Kou Zhun and Tao Qian and others to discuss how to deal with Cao Cao.

In just two days, Cao Cao once again regrouped and led his troops to kill.

"Brother Meng De, why bother, although Brother Gong Zu saw the wrong person, he never thought of hurting Ling Zun, not to mention that during Ling Zun's time in Xuzhou, Brother Gong Zu also took care of him, why did Meng De put hatred on Brother Gong Zu and the people of Xuzhou."

Before the war, Liu Bei still spoke, he didn't want to offend Cao Cao to death, so he spoke out to persuade Cao Cao.

"Liu Bei, since three days ago, you led someone to sabotage a certain plan and killed a certain soldier, you and I have no friendship, there is only hatred, what qualifications do you have to persuade you."

Cao Cao immediately angrily reprimanded Liu Bei, leaving no mercy at all.

"Mengde!"

Liu Bei still wanted to continue to speak.

"Siege!"

Cao Cao directly ordered the siege of the city and retreated to the depths of the army.

"Attack!"

Cao Ren drew his sword and shouted, replaced Cao Cao, and became the commander of the siege army.

At the same time, Xiahou Yuan and Xu Chu confronted Guan Yu with soldiers and horses, obviously Cao Cao had already arranged, on the one hand, to attack the city, and on the other hand, to guard Guan Yu outside the city.

You must know that now, there are not many defenders in the city, after three days of fighting, there are only half of the soldiers in the city who still have combat effectiveness, and the Cao army attacking the city has 30,000.

Xuzhou City once again suffered the fierce impact of the Cao army, fortunately, the difference in strength between the two sides has a difference of three quilts, but fortunately, Xuzhou City is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the defenders can still bear it.
