Guo Gong had 30,000 soldiers and horses, and after Sun Ce's strong army went to Shouzhang to resist Cao Hong's westward advance, Juancheng's soldiers and horses were somewhat insufficient. The soldiers and horses of Lu Bu, Zhang Miao, and Chen Gong were combined, and there were only one or two thousand people.

What's more, these people have experienced a big battle, there are many casualties, the morale of the three armies has not yet recovered, and they are facing the attack of Guo Gong, a strong enemy, and panic is inevitable. Moreover, a strong team like Sun Ce had to rescue Shou Zhang and Xu Chang to prevent Cao Hong from continuing to advance. In this way, the number of troops is somewhat dwarfed.

Of course, these are not reasons to be afraid of war.

Guo Gong is menacing, let alone Juancheng, even other places, you can't let this Guo Gong loot wantonly, right? Yanzhou was originally plagued by locusts, and the county governments in various places had no food, so where could they withstand such a toss as Guo Gong.

When Jiyin Taishou Wu sent an envoy to talk about this, he didn't know how miserable it was! After Jiyin County ruled Dingtao and let Guo Gong to capture, Guo Gong plundered the money and grain in the treasury, and it was a barrage, Dingtao was killed and wounded many times, and the dead bodies were starved to death on the way, and more people had no food, so they could only flee to the four sides and become homeless. Even the dignified Jiyin Taishou could only escape to Juyang with the refugees. Before he could eat a bite of this hot meal, he immediately sent an envoy to ask Lu Bu and them to send troops to rescue.

However, on the issue of whether to save or not, there were different differences within Lu Bu and these people. Lu Bu and Chen Gong thought that they should send troops, but Zhang Miao and Wan Qian felt that with their current strength, they only needed to defend Juancheng. This is out of the city, if Guo Gong is defeated, won't Juancheng be able to keep it?

How can this Guo Gong say that there are also 30,000 soldiers and horses, and Lu Bu is not afraid, it does not mean that others are not afraid.

After the fierce debate has not yet come to a conclusion, it is from Juyang that another messenger comes! The envoy sent by Wu Zi, the Taishou of Jiyin, said that after Guo Gong, who captured Dingtao, learned the news of the destruction of Juancheng, he did not go north to attack Juyang, but instead led troops to Chengshi.

Soon, Li Gan of the Cheng clan repaired the book to Lu Bu and begged Lu Bu to help him quickly!

Now, the controversy is even bigger!

Cheng's Li family is strong, that is kind to Cao Cao. When Lu Bu and the others attacked Juancheng, Li Gan watched from the wall. When the three cities of Juancheng, Dong'e, and Fanxian were not captured for a long time, Li Gan also reprimanded Lü Bu and Zhang Miao for being the root cause of the chaos in Yanzhou. Between the two sides, they are still enemies. Guo Gong went to attack the Cheng clan, isn't that what he likes to see? How could he still think of sending troops to provoke Guo Gong for the sake of the Li family.

To everyone's surprise, Lu Bu immediately sent troops to rescue him, Chen Gong led troops to accompany him, and the two of them joined forces with more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, and they went towards the Cheng clan.

……

"Father!"

In a secret room in the Li Clan's Dock Fort in the Hou Kingdom of the Cheng Clan, Li Cheng looked at his rather heroic father Li Gan, and his face was a little puzzled, "Not long ago, Lu Bu and they attacked Juancheng, but we watched from the wall, and my father even reprimanded him, and now this Guo Gong has come to attack the Cheng Clan, how can Lu Bu and them help?" ”

Li Gan closed his eyes and did not speak.

Li Quan continued, with some grievances in his tone, "How do you know that these people have really captured Juancheng!" It's only been a few days, Fanxian, Dong'e, and even Juancheng have fallen! Cao Gong has no place to stand, how can he fight against Yanzhou? I, the Li family, have offended Lu Bu and Zhang Miao, how can I gain a foothold in Yanzhou? Not to mention the calamity of Guo Gong in front of him, if he can defend this Cheng clan and repel Guo Gong, General Zuo will still ...... in the future."

Everyone understands that this Yanzhou dispute is a battle between two camps. One side is Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, and the other side is Lu Bu and Yuan Shu. Now if this Cao Cao can't take back Yanzhou, their Li family is not going to let Yuan Shu clean it up.

"That's it!"

Li Qian opened his eyes, interrupted Li Quan's words, and focused his gaze on the young man on the side, "I'll let you read more books on weekdays, so that when something happens, you won't be so flustered!" Learn more from your brother in everything! I don't know how you will protect my Li clan after a hundred years? ”

In the face of Li Gan's reprimand, Li Quan's face was a little ashamed, and he looked at his father with fear, not daring to refute.

"Man Cheng, can you tell me about this Lu Bu, and these people will come to help?"

Li Qian asked Li Dian, the nephew of the clan on one side.

This young nephew has been studious since he was a child, Li Gan is still extremely appreciative, Li Dian is not like his son Li Quan, he only knows how to be competitive, but there is no pen and ink in his belly.

"Uncle, I thought Lu Bu would definitely come to help."

Li Dian replied.

"Why?"

"This time, even though my uncle was ordered by Cao Gong to return to his hometown to quell the rebellion, he has always been a watchman, and judging from the general trend of Yanzhou's anti-Cao now, my uncle did not send troops to help, but in fact he helped. Second, Lu Bu and they captured Yanzhou, and they still need the support of our Li clan, if they can help us repel this Guo Gong, it will undoubtedly be a favor to my Li clan. Thirdly, Guo Gong's 30,000 soldiers and horses seem to be powerful, but in fact they are vulnerable, even if they are surrounded for ten days and a half months, they may not be able to capture this strong dock fort. ”

Li Dian's words are a bit contradictory.

Li Quan was still a little incomprehensible, looked at Li Dian, and said suspiciously, "Man Cheng, don't talk nonsense, Guo Gong's 30,000 soldiers and horses are so powerful, but you say they are vulnerable?" If my Li clan can repel them, why should my father repair the book and let Lu Bu and them send troops to rescue them? ”

Li Dian smiled lightly, but did not answer.

However, Li Gan's gaze became more and more surprised, "My Li Clan's Wu Fort is strong, and there are thousands of clans' children guarding the fort, even if Guo Gong has 30,000 soldiers and horses, he is helpless." ”

"Father?"

Li Quan's face became even more puzzled.

Li Dian said leisurely, "Uncle Lu Bu is repairing books, and his original intention is to reconcile!" Juancheng fell, it was difficult for Cao Gong to recapture Yanzhou, and we had been watching from the wall, waiting to see what happened, if we didn't show a little sincerity, then even if Guo Gong couldn't capture our dock fort, after Guo Gong left, what should Lu Bu and them continue to attack? ”

"In that case, why doesn't Lu Bu sit idly by and watch us and that Guo Gong lose?"

Li Cheng frowned.

"It's very simple."

Li Gan said in a full voice, "Whether it's that General Zuo or this Lu Bu, there is a place where you need to use my Li clan!" If they can get the full support of my Li clan, then it will be better than watching the Li clan and Guo Gong lose both. It is also because of this that I will repair the book and invite Na Lu Bu to come to help! ”
