"Fengxiao, how likely do you think Zhang Lu will surrender?"

In the camp outside Seoul, Liu Wei looked at Guo Jia and asked after returning to the camp.

This idea was Guo Jia's idea, and as for Guo Jia's purpose, Liu Wei was also clear.

Now since Ma Chao broke Chencang, he has been like a bamboo all the way, and he has almost taken down the city in the west of Hanzhong.

"I can't say for sure, but I believe that Zhang Lu will never surrender until the last moment."

Guo Jia looked at Liu Wei and said truthfully.

Liu Wei originally asked casually, after all, he thought of when Cao Cao attacked Hanzhong in history.

Zhang Luke quickly chose to surrender and sealed the treasury for Cao Cao to take over.

So to a certain extent, Liu Wei naturally hopes that this Zhang Lu can surrender as soon as possible.

The battle between Hanzhong lasted so long, not to mention that he had no way to take care of the battles in several other places.

It's been a few months since my child was born, but I still haven't seen it.

"Since Zhang Lu is unwilling to surrender, then I'm afraid we won't have a good time in the next few days." Liu Wei then also laughed and said.

Liu Wei knew very well that even if Zhang Lu couldn't see his intentions, the rest of the people in Hanzhong, Zhang Lu's Wenchen, would naturally be able to see it.

Besides, even if they took a step back, they didn't see it, but Liu Wei knew that he would definitely not be able to hide it from the Zhou family.

This woman's ability is very powerful, at least among the women she has seen, Zhou is definitely the first.

At this point, although Lu Qiling's martial arts are very good, it is still a lot worse than Zhou's ability.

With Zhou's ability, there is no need to fight hard with Lu Qiling at all.

"Your Majesty is wrong, Zhang Lu will not send troops and horses out of the city these days, so we can be safe."

Guo Jia shook his head after listening to Liu Wei's words, and did not agree with this judgment.

After Liu Wei listened to Guo Jia's words, he was surprised, "Could it be that the Zhou clan will let us join up with Ma Chao's army?" ”

If it were him, Liu Wei knew that he would definitely not wait for the army, which would only be more difficult to deal with.

"Your Majesty's idea is not wrong, but Your Majesty has forgotten, what ability does Zhang Lu have to stop General Ma Chao now?"

"If his army dares to leave Seoul, isn't this what His Majesty wants to see?"

Guo Jia naturally understood Liu Wei's thoughts, but his thoughts were ignored.

Now Zhang Lu has been forced to retreat to this Seoul, and it can be said that he has little capital to resist.

Even if Wei Yan was defeated last time by 5,000 troops, this morale was not as good as his own 20,000 troops, and once he went out of the city to fight, he would have given up their advantage.

If he didn't have the certainty of victory, Zhang Lu would definitely not take the risk of doing such a thing.

"I'm too worried." After Liu Wei understood the meaning of Guo Jia's words, he immediately said with a smile.

It seems that after such a long time of fighting, I have made myself think about problems, and sometimes I have entered a certain misunderstanding.

Even if he only has more than 20,000 people, how many people are there in Zhang Lu City, and his combat effectiveness is naturally inferior.

"Then let's wait and see what happens." In the end, Liu Wei laughed and said.

Guo Jia also nodded after hearing Liu Wei's words.

………

The next day, everything was still as Guo Jia expected, and Zhang Lu's army was stationed in the city and there was no movement.

At the same time, the army led by Cao Cao also officially launched an attack on Xuzhou.

"General Guan, Cao Cao's army has begun to attack."

After Zhou Cang received the news, he immediately told Guan Yu that it was Guan Yu who was now sitting in Xuzhou.

"Cao Cao's army is really fast." Guan Yu also sighed when he heard Zhou Cang's words.

But soon, Guan Yu set his eyes on Tao Ying on the side.

Tao Ying, as the former Xuzhou pastor and Tao Qian's son, Liu Wei gave the original mansion to Tao Ying.

Although Tao Ying did not take over Xuzhou, he still could not ignore Tao Ying's position.

"Where is Cao Cao's army now, and where is it attacking?"

Tao Ying saw Guan Yu looking at him, and he immediately understood what Guan Yu meant.

Guan Yu asked him what he meant, and at the same time showed a kind of respect for him.

However, although Tao Ying knew that with Guan Yu's character, it was already very good to be able to do this.

And he also knew that Guan Yu and Liu Bei were also doing things differently, and Liu Bei was already dead.

But when he saw Guan Yu, he still felt a little guilty, after all, no matter what, when his father Tao Qian died, Guan Yu was still Liu Bei's sworn brother.

"Cao Cao's army broke two cities in a row, and now it has reached Xiao Pass." Zhou Cang said after listening to Tao Ying's inquiry.

"Break two cities in a row." Tao Ying was also surprised, this Cao Cao is really powerful, this has just started to attack, and it is so fast.

"It seems that this Cao Cao wants to directly attack the city of Xuzhou, and then come back to the showdown." Guan Yu snorted coldly and said.

Zangba is now guarding Langya State, since there is no news from Zangba's side, then that is to say, Cao Cao came directly to Xuzhou City this time.

Tao Ying also nodded, "This Cao Cao is by no means an ordinary person, not to be underestimated, and General Guan has also prepared early." ”

Tao Yingke remembered that he had already said it when Tao Qian was still alive before, and this Cao Cao was a genius in the world.

But for me at the time, I didn't care.

And in addition to his father Tao Qian, when he was by Liu Bian's side, Liu Bian also told him that Cao Cao should not be underestimated.

Guan Yu nodded after listening to Tao Ying's words, in fact, even if Tao Ying didn't say it, he could understand it.

In the past, when Liu Bei was there, he also regarded Cao Cao as one of the people he feared.

When he was in Xuchang, even though Cao Cao was already surrounded by enemies, he still saw through their strategy and drove them out.

"Zhou Cang, you immediately send another 5,000 soldiers and horses to Xiao Pass to help, if you hold out for three days, even if Cao Cao breaks through Xiao Pass, he will not punish you."

Guan Yu looked at Zhou Cang and said, since Cao Cao has already made a move, then he naturally can't and won't resist.

Zhou Cang answered and went out.

Tao Ying was a little surprised on the side, "General Guan, this Xiao Pass is the most effective checkpoint outside Xuzhou City to resist invasion, why do you only let General Zhou Cang resist for three days?" ”

According to normal thinking, even if Cao Cao has already attacked Xiao Pass, since Xiao Pass has not been lost, then naturally how long he can defend it is how long he can defend it.

"Cao Cao's talent should not be underestimated, even if it is Guan, it is the same, Cao Cao's army is prepared, and he is defending Xiao Pass, but it is just a few more days of delay."

"But once this happens, the casualties will be heavy, if we let his troops come to the city of Xuzhou, we can gather the army and have enough troops to deal with Cao Cao."

Guan Yu looked at Tao Ying and then said his thoughts, for Tao Ying, Guan Yu has always felt a little guilty in his heart.

Although this matter has nothing to do with him, he has never been able to pass the level in his heart.

After listening to Guan Yu's words, Tao Ying also understood what he meant, indeed, Cao Cao attacked Xuzhou with an army of 30,000.

Now that Jieyang has been lost, even if Xiao Guan can defend it, unless Guan Yu goes in person, how long can he defend it.

And Xuzhou City is the most important, as long as Xuzhou City is there, Cao Cao will not take Xuzhou.

Moreover, Xuzhou, as a strategic place for soldiers, so Xuzhou City is also easy to defend and difficult to attack.

"But General Guan, since you plan to retreat to Xuzhou City, then why do you want General Zhou Cang to hold out for three days, could it be that there is something wrong with these three days?"

Tao Ying quickly asked as if he had thought of something.

Three days is not too long, and now that Zang Ba is guarding Langya again, what can Guan Yu do.

Guan Yu didn't answer directly after listening to Tao Ying's inquiry this time, but looked at Tao Ying and smiled.

"If Tao Gongzi wants to know, you will know tomorrow."

As soon as Guan Yu's words came out, Tao Ying was even more puzzled.

"Then we'll wait and see, the matter of Xuzhou will trouble General Guan."
