But even if there were only fifty or sixty thousand horses, half of his cavalry was there. There are also many plains around Xiapi, how can we encircle and annihilate so many cavalry?

Moreover, the lord has not many people in Qingzhou, if some more are transferred to Xiapi, what should Zhang Jie do if nearly 30,000 Jizhou troops stationed in Jizhou, Qinghe, and Bohai cross the river to attack Jinan and other places? At that time, Qingzhou will be in danger!

Zhang Jie currently has no intention of sending troops to Qingzhou, but if the lord transfers the Qingzhou defenders, even if Zhang Jie has no intention of taking Qingzhou for the time being, he will enter Qingzhou in advance because of the emptiness of Qingzhou.

And although our number is not less than Zhang Jie, most of the soldiers are new recruits, lacking training and actual combat.

Yuan Shaodao: What should we do according to Ziyuan's words? Could it be that we don't care about anything when we watch Zhang Jie take down Xiapi? But what about our family members in Xiapi?

Xu Youdao: Hey! Lord, let's retreat to Tancheng! Order the high-ranking cadres to break through the siege! Let them get on the boat and take the waterway, as long as they get on the boat, Zhang Jie has no way at all.

The lord asked to send an envoy to Huainan immediately and asked Lu Bu to send troops. Lu Bu now has tens of thousands of horses in Huainan, if we can help, we still have a chance. The lord can give Xiapi and Pengcheng to Lu Bu. Lu Bu will definitely send troops.

Yuan Shaodao: Pengcheng is very close to Xiapi, Lu Bu is afraid that it will be too late to come, and Lu Bu is also an ungrateful jackal. Give him the city of Peng. What will we do in the future? This is the most essential part of Xuzhou.

Xu Youdao: Xiapi, Peng Chengdu will be Zhang Jie's immediately, the lord is just generous to others, just because Lu Bu is a jackal, so he can only put heavy bait to let him help.

Lord, please rest assured, Lu Bu will definitely come to help, no matter how stupid he is, he will understand, if there is no lord in the north, will Zhang Jie let Huainan go?

Yuan Shaodao: Hey! Knowing this, why didn't you retreat to Langya as soon as possible according to Yuantu's words? Now it's just running out for time.

Xu You was a little embarrassed and said: You didn't expect Zhang Jie to go directly to Xiapi without attacking Pengcheng.

Yuan Shaodao: Who wants to go to Shouchun to see Lu Bu?

Everyone was silent, and Yuan Shao said: If you want to go to Shouchun if you are unfair?

Guo Tu dares to go anywhere, but Shouchun must not go. Lu Bu's family was given to Zhang Jie by his idea, and if he went to Shouchun, Lu Bu would not have to skin him alive.

Lord, you can't go to Shouchun, Lu Bu's family is the one who is sent to Yecheng, if you go to Shouchun in the picture, you are afraid that it will not be beautiful to anger Lu Bu.

Yuantu, why don't you go for it!

Feng Ji saw that Guo Tu didn't dare to go, Xu You, Yuan Shao obviously didn't plan to let him go, it seemed that he was the only one who went.

Dao: No!

At that moment, Feng Ji took a famous entourage and quickly whipped south to Huainan.

And Pei Yuanshao, who Zhang Jie stayed, led people outside the east gate, so he didn't catch Feng Ji, this is mainly because Pei Yuanshao is inexperienced, and he didn't disperse his actions, when Pei Yuanshao found that a few horses went south, he sent someone to chase but unfortunately it was too late, so Feng Ji ran away.

And Yuan led more than 30,000 horses and horses to set off for Tancheng in the East China Sea, and when Pei Yuanshao saw so many Yuan troops out of the city, he immediately sent someone to report to Zhang Jie in advance, and he went to Xiapi to meet.

When Zhang Jie's army came to Xiapi, the senior cadres had already closed the city gate, and the city wall of Xiapi was tall and the moat was also very wide. Zhang Jie ordered people to set up camp.

Facing the tall city wall, Zhang Jie said: This Xiapi is on par with Pengcheng, and it is difficult to break through Xiapi! None of these Central Plains cities are easy to attack. Ay! I don't know how many people had to die

Jia Xu said: Didn't the lord once say that Xiapi can be flooded?

Jie once said, but Xiapi is one of the largest cities in Xuzhou, there are at least tens of thousands of people in the city, if Xiapi is flooded, the people are afraid to bear the brunt! Jie Yu can't bear it! Jie can't be so ruthless as Cao Mengde!

What is Wen Heke's good strategy to reduce casualties and win Xiapi?

Jia Xu smiled and said: There is nothing the old man can do to attack the city, but the old man feels that there is no need to attack Xiapi, Yuan Shao learned that we are coming to capture Xiapi, he should also be anxious in Pengcheng, maybe he will transfer all the troops to Xiapi to besiege us, and then maybe it will be like Wen Chang said, a battle will be settled in Xuzhou.

But it is also possible that Yuan Shao will withdraw his troops to Tancheng and give Xiapi and Pengcheng directly to the lord.

If Yuan Shao takes the initiative to give up Xiapi, then Gao Gan will retreat in a short time, and we are not besieging the city now, so it is better to let Gao Gan go! In this way, the next Pi can be guaranteed to be complete!

Zhang Jie nodded and said: If Yuan Shao can really give up Xiapi, then we will save trouble.

Sure enough, soon Pei Yuanshao sent someone to say that Yuan Shao's 30,000 troops would withdraw in the direction of Tancheng in the northeast. and told Zhang Jie that Yuan Shao sent an envoy to the south, which should be to Huainan.

Wenhe, so Yuan Shao gave up Pengcheng and retreated to Tancheng. Shall we stop him on his way to Tancheng?

Jia Xu said: There is no need for this, Yuan Shao knows that we have a lot of cavalry, and we will definitely be cautious when retreating, and send more scouts. It is difficult for us to find the way he must go, and it is difficult to besiege him. And there are many castles on the road. Our soldiers are also very happy to run back and forth. It's better to wait for Yuan Shao to arrive in Xiapi.

Zhang Jiedao: Will Yuan Shao still come to Xiapi?

Didn't Pei Yuanshao send someone to say that there was an envoy going south? The old man estimated that Yuan Shao asked Lu Bu for help. Lu Bu has always held a grudge against the lord, and if Yuan Shao is defeated, the lord's next step will be Huainan, so Lu Bu will definitely send troops.

Zhang Jie said: This Lu Bu didn't beat him, he came to beat us first, come on! Let's kill Lu Bu first and then fight Yuan Shao.

Jia Xu said: If Lu Bu comes, how does the lord plan to fight? Do you want Lu Bu to die in Xuzhou or just run away?

Zhang Jiedao: Of course I hope he is dead, why keep him?

If the lord wants Lu Bu to die, the old man has a feasible plan.

Oh! Wen and talk about it!

Jia Xu said: Yuan Shao went to Tancheng, and Gao Gan should also retreat immediately. After the high-ranking cadres withdrew, the lord sent a small army to disguise themselves as ordinary people and buy a house in the city. Secretly and hiddenly, in order to respond.

After Lu Bu's men and horses arrive at Xiapi, we will withdraw to Pengcheng and give Xiapi to Lu Bu, as soon as Lu Bu enters the city, we will immediately send troops. Surround Xiapi, and let the city gate be opened at night, and we will surround it on all sides, and prepare more crossbowmen. No matter how high Lu Bu's martial arts are, he is not an opponent of thousands of crossbow arrows, right?

Zhang Jie said: Although this plan is good, but if Lu Bu also sends troops to Pi Yuan Shao, we are afraid that it will be difficult to deal with it for a while! And what if Lu Bu doesn't enter the city?

Hehe, it's okay, Lu Bu is arrogant, let's lose a few battles to him first, let him be complacent, Lu Bu will definitely fight Xuzhou as long as he wins a few battles. How can there be a city that will not be entered, so that Xiapi is so empty?

Zhang Jie thought for a while and said: Good! According to Wenhe's plan, lose a few battles first, and let Lu Bu be proud first.

In this way, let's send someone to occupy Pengcheng first! Yuan Shao retreated to Pengcheng, which is an empty city, let's occupy it.
