Just when Liu Yi and the others were busy asking for help here, Liu Bei of Liangxiang County had already ordered Sun Fei to lead more than 20,000 people out of the city and run in the direction of Cheng Zhiyuan's camp.

"Newspaper~"

A tanma shouted while running towards Cheng Zhiyuan's big tent in a panic.

"Report to the General! Sun Fei has already led people to a place less than ten miles away from us! ”

At this time, Cheng Zhiyuan and his subordinates were discussing siege strategies in the tent, and when they heard that Sun Fei had led people ten miles away, everyone was shocked.

"How many men are there on the enemy?" Cheng Zhiyuan bypassed the table in front of him and came to Tanma and asked eagerly.

"A rough estimate is about 20,000 people!"

"20,000?" Cheng Zhiyuan frowned when he heard this, and said to himself.

"Can you see Liu Bei in the team?"

Tanma thought about it when he heard this, and replied, "I didn't see Liu Bei, I only saw Liu Bei's deputy general Sun Fei!" ”

"Oh? What about Yao Lie? ”

"Yao Lie, I didn't see the little one either!"

Hearing that Yao Lie was not there, Cheng Zhiyuan frowned, looked at the probe and ordered, "You go down to investigate, and report as soon as there is news!" ”

"Yes!" Tanma replied respectfully and hurried out of the tent.

"General, since Sun Fei is coming with a large army, are we going to fight or not?" At this time, Cheng Zhiyuan's subordinate general stepped forward and asked.

"Don't worry, let's see the situation first!"

"Look at the situation? Could it be that Sun Fei..."

Cheng Zhiyuan sneered when he heard this, and said, "Hmph! I suspect that Sun Fei didn't want to attack us this time, but wanted to drive us away and let us attack Liu Yi and them as soon as possible! ”

"Why did the general say that?" Another subordinate asked puzzled.

Cheng Zhiyuan looked at the man and said confidently, "Liu Bei's team, although it is a fierce soldier, but after all, we have more than them in numbers, and besides, among the three Liu Bei, the biggest threat to us is the Yao Lie who can fight well, followed by Liu Bei." This time Liu Bei and Yao Lie didn't come, only sent Sun Fei, the weakest of the three, to come, if he dares to attack, I don't mind cleaning him up first and then going to attack the city! ”

After saying this, Cheng Zhiyuan looked at his subordinates coldly.

"Immediately gather people and horses to set up a defensive formation, I want to see if he Sun Fei dares to attack directly!"

"No!" After a few subordinates agreed, they turned around and walked out of the big tent to get ready to go.

......

After Yao Lie left at noon, Liu Bei sent someone to check Yao Lie's residence and found the farewell letter left by Yao Lie.

What Yao Lie wrote in his farewell letter was nothing more than something like "I have something to do and leave first, my brother's great favor will be reported to me later, please hand over the letter to General Gongsun" and so on, Liu Bei was so angry that he tore the letter to shreds after reading it, and where did he still think about handing it to Gongsun Zhan.

"Since you are determined to die, then don't blame me Liu Bei for being ruthless and unjust!" Liu Bei looked at the torn and shredded letters on the ground, gritted his teeth and muttered to himself.

In the evening, Sun Fei finally arrived at a place about five miles away from Cheng Zhiyuan's camp, according to Liu Bei's instructions, Sun Fei did not directly attack Cheng, but camped on the spot and put on a defensive look.

Cheng Zhiyuan's scout horse hurriedly reported to Cheng Zhiyuan after discovering the matter, Cheng Zhiyuan knew that he looked up to the sky and laughed, and said "As I expected", he ordered everyone to pull out the village and march in the direction of Zhuo County.

Sun and Cheng's small actions scared Liu Yi and others in the city enough.

Hearing that Cheng Zhiyuan was going here, Liu Yi hurriedly called Cheng Yu, who was training those militiamen, into the account.

"Sir, the enemy has advanced another mile, and is now only about four miles away from us!"

Liu Yi was a little panicked at this time, after all, the fortifications in the city were not fully prepared now, and some of the city walls that had been destroyed by Deng Mao and others had been filled by the craftsmen, but the mud had not dried up at this time, so it didn't have much effect at all.

Cheng Yu didn't know much about the outside because he had been training the militia in the afternoon, and when he heard Liu Yi say that Cheng Zhiyuan and the others had traveled another mile, he immediately frowned.

Just when the two of them were at a loss, there was a shout from outside the door.

"Report to the lord, an army of about 20,000 people was found ten miles outside the city!"

"Huh? And thieves? Liu Yi and the others asked in shock.

"Back to the lord, the weapons and equipment and clothing of that army don't seem to be yellow turban thieves!"

"Oh? Whose team is that? When Liu Yi heard that it was not the Yellow Turban Army, hope suddenly ignited in his heart, and he strode to the man's side and asked eagerly.

After a brief recollection, the tanma replied, "It looks like the army of Sun Zan of Beiping, but the banner is Liu's banner, and the main general in the army is Sun Fei!" ”

Because this Tanma Yuan is also a citizen of Zhuoxian County, he is still very familiar with the former Zhuoxian County Chengsun Fei.

After hearing this, Liu Yi exclaimed in surprise: "Sun Fei? When did he run to Gongsun Chan again? ”

Cheng Yu on the side was a little puzzled when he saw Liu Yi so surprised, so he asked Liu Yi about Sun Fei, Liu Yi told Cheng Yu all the grievances between everyone and Sun's father and son, Cheng Yu listened to Liu Yi's introduction, just thought about it briefly and then let out a sigh.

"What a trick to drive away the tiger and devour the wolf!"

Liu Yi saw that Cheng Yu actually let out such an exclamation at this time, thought about Cheng Yu's words, and understood the meaning, and immediately became angry.

"Why did I say that I just defeated Deng Mao with my front foot, and then a Cheng Zhiyuan came out, it turned out that this kid was doing something behind his back!" Liu Yi gritted his teeth as he reminisced about the time when he fought with Sun Fei before.

"Lord, looking at the current situation, I'm afraid it's not just as simple as a Sun Fei, you also heard it just now, that group of troops is not fighting under Sun Fei's banner, which means that there must be someone else behind Sun Fei, but I don't know what kind of calculation that person is playing now!" Cheng Yu said worriedly.

Liu Yi came back to his senses from his past memories when he heard this, and after coming back to his senses, Liu Yi hurriedly instructed the scout, "You go and investigate again quickly, it is best to find out who the boss behind Sun Fei is!" ”

"No!"

Cheng Yu looked at the Tanma who ran out, and said to Liu Yi with an anxious face: "Lord, we not only have to face Cheng Zhiyuan's army now, even if we are lucky enough to hold the city in the end, I am afraid that Sun Fei's army will also destroy us!" When the time comes, as long as Sun Fei ruthlessly slaughters the city, people in other places will only think that we were killed by thieves, and I'm afraid no one will know the truth! ”

Liu Yi was shocked when he heard Cheng Yu's words.

"What is the best way to do it, sir!" Liu Yi asked anxiously.

"I still advocate before, now I will be forced to recruit troops immediately, if it is any later, I am afraid it will be too late!"

When Liu Yi heard this, he shouted outside the tent: "Go, Cui Si, call me!" ”

After a while, Cui Si and a few of his subordinates hurried to Liu Yi's tent.

"What's the matter, lord?"

"Now you immediately lead people to mobilize the people for me from house to house, so that they can all participate in our battle! Remember to mobilize! Not available strong! ”

"Don't be strong? Then how can I mobilize? Cui Si said bitterly.

"Won't you be kind and reasonable? You usually talk non-stop all day long, but now you use you, you tell me no? Liu Yi scolded.

Cui Si didn't dare to refute what Liu Yi said, so he was busy leading people down to start mobilizing the people, and Liu Yi was not idle, and personally led people to start graffiti slogans in major conspicuous places in the city.

As a college student in the new era, he still knows some about the glorious history of our great predecessors of the People's Liberation Army.

The style of the slogans is the same as the family planning slogans painted on the walls of rural areas in the early 20th century, which are all mobilization slogans such as "Everyone has a responsibility to protect the family and the country" and "The county town is my home, and it depends on everyone to protect it."

Because it was already evening, the sky outside began to darken, in order to make the slogan clearer, Liu Yi ordered people to light a torch at the foot of each wall with the slogan for lighting, after nightfall, the entire Zhuoxian city was lit everywhere, and the firelight illuminated the city.

After Liu Yi, Cui Si and others lobbied everywhere for a night, and finally many people agreed to participate in the battle to defend the city, after all, Liu Yi and a county magistrate began to personally brush slogans and mobilize, even if the people were afraid of death, they did not dare to refute the face of the county magistrate Liu Yi, so they promised to do their part for the defense of the city, and after getting the promise of the people, Liu Yi happily returned to his big tent.

At this time, the sky was already white, and Liu Yi and Cui Si both fell asleep after a few simple chats in the tent.

Because the war was imminent, Liu Yi had something in his heart, so he slept very lightly, and after sleeping for about an hour, Liu Yi was awakened by the sound of Cheng Yu, Zhang Fei and Wang Sanren entering the tent.

Cheng Yu and the others had been taking turns on the city tower last night to monitor the movements of Cheng Zhiyuan and others, and they never came back, and they didn't know that Liu Yi and they were busy until the early hours of the morning last night.

"Lord, Cheng Zhiyuan's gang of thieves had no vision last night, it seems that it is really as Mr. yesterday said, these guys want to wait until they are ready to attack us in one fell swoop!" Zhang Fei, who had just entered the account, shouted loudly with a loud voice.

Liu Yi, who had just woken up, hurriedly made a silent gesture to everyone when he saw this, got up and walked to Cui Si, who was already drooling from sleep, picked up the quilt next to him and covered Cui Si, and then led everyone out of the big tent while making gestures.

"Lord, this..."Zhang Fei asked puzzled, pointing to the big tent.

"Alas~ Si'er and I were busy all night last night, and we just fell asleep, let's not disturb him, let him rest well!"

In fact, Cui Si had already woken up when everyone came in, and he thought that everyone would definitely wake up unceremoniously as before, so he ignored everyone and continued to fall asleep on the side, but what he didn't expect was that Liu Yi not only didn't let everyone wake him up, but also covered himself with a quilt, at this time after hearing what Liu Yi said outside, Cui Si lay on the wooden bed alone, clutched the corner of the quilt in his hand, and tears slipped down uncontrollably.
