In this war, almost all the princes were implicated, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao sent a total of 200,000 troops, and Zhao Yun also invested more than 100,000 troops before and after;

Sun Ce, the little overlord of Jiangdong, first repelled the 20,000 elite soldiers led by Kuailiang in Jingzhou, and then stormed Guangling Chen Deng in one go, supporting Zhao Yun from the southern battlefield;

Ma Teng Han Sui also temporarily gave up his old grudges, sharpened his knife, and pointed the finger at Tongguan; Zhang Fang of the Montenegrin Army sent 50,000 troops to besiege Yecheng under the persuasion of Jia Xu;

Zhao Yun, Cao Cao, Liu Biao, Liu Biao, Chen Deng, Sun Ce, Yuan Shao, Ma Teng, Han Sui, Zhang Fang, a total of ten princes, more or less participated in it, the scale is large, the number of troops invested, and the light of the impact can almost be comparable to the princes of the past.

Guangling, Xuzhou.

Chen Deng and Sun Ce launched a tug-of-war between the two sides, which has lasted for a long time, Chen Deng asked for help several times, the troops suffered heavy losses, inside and outside the Guangling city wall, blood stained the earth, the thick bloody atmosphere made people feel suffocated, the offensive of the Jiangdong soldiers was more and more fierce again and again, the city was crumbling, and it was impossible to resist, Chen Deng, who was standing on the city wall, was anxious, and his heart was full of helplessness.

His troops, with less than two thousand left, will not last long, if reinforcements do not come again, Guangling will become Sun Ce's bag at any time.

Working day and night, anxious, Chen Deng, who had just passed the year of standing, was obviously much older than his peers, and recently his chest had a dull pain from time to time, and the pain became more and more frequent, and when it was serious, Chen Deng almost didn't even have the strength to stand.

However, he contracted a strange disease, sometimes his chest was suffocated, and he had a dull pain, and he could not be cured by seeking medical advice, and his attacks have become more and more frequent in the past two years.

Not long ago, he saw Hua Tuo, poured a decoction of medicine, and spit out two buckets of insects, the insects were bare-headed and red-tailed, and they were still alive when they swayed.

Hua Tuo repeatedly told him that if he didn't pay attention, if the disease recurred, his life would be endangered.

Chen Deng is really unwilling, he is ambitious, capable, and hopeful, and he wants to make a difference in this troubled world, but because he is not Cao Cao's descendant, Cao Cao is not at ease with him, and he uses and guards, before Chen Deng helped Cao Cao defeat Lu Bu, even if he made such a great achievement, Cao Cao still did not use him much.

"Report-" While thinking about it, Deputy General Han Deng quickly climbed the city wall, "Lord, Liu Bei is here." ”

"Liu Bei?" Chen Deng was also happy and worried, happy that reinforcements finally came, and worried that Liu Bei had been watching and had not shown up until now, Chen Deng was not at ease.

Knowing that Liu Bei rushed to support, Sun Ce's offensive did not stop, but that night, Zhou Tai came to him with a letter.

"Lord, this is shot from the city, please take a look."

Sun Ce opened the letter suspiciously, looked at it a few times in a hurry, and to his surprise, the letter turned out to be written to him by Liu Bei.

"Go and get the governor."

Zhou Yu rushed to hear the news, and Sun Ce handed him the letter: "Liu Bei wants me to temporarily stop fighting, saying that there is a confidential matter to discuss with me. ”

"What can he do?"

Zhou Yu's handsome brows also furrowed slightly, "It's better to let Zhou Tai and them stop attacking first, I want to see what Liu Bei is in this gourd." ”

That night, Guan Yu, as an envoy sent by Liu Bei, came to the camp of Jiangdong soldiers.

Guan Yu held the Qinglong Yanyue Knife in his right hand, and his beard in his left hand, walking with a tiger step, his face was fearless, and he didn't pay any attention to the Jiangdong soldiers in the camp who were holding knives and guns and glaring angrily.

Eight feet tall, with a face like a heavy jujube, lying silkworm eyebrows, red phoenix eyes, five locks of long hair floating on his chest, wearing a parrot green scarf on his head, and wearing a parrot green robe.

When Sun Ce saw Guan Yu, he secretly applauded in his heart, he was such a mighty general.

"You may be seated."

Sun Ce waved his hand, and a soldier brought a stool for Guan Yu.

Guan Yu nodded lightly, lifted his robe, and sat down calmly.

Sun Ce glanced at Zhou Yu, Zhou Yu nodded at him, since Liu Bei sent Guan Yu, it can be seen that Liu Bei attaches great importance to this matter, Guan Yu is his sworn brother, seeing Guan Yu is like seeing Liu Bei, indicating that there must be something important to discuss.

"Why don't you come late at night with General Guan?" Sun Ce doesn't like to be polite and goes straight to the point.

Guan Yu glanced at him, and said, "I want to ask, why do you want to fight Guangling?" ”

"Haha, why did General Guan ask knowingly, don't you know, Zhao Yun is my sworn brother, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao joined forces to fabricate trumped-up charges to crusade against my brother, how can I ignore it, not only Guangling, but also Xuzhou, just to force Cao Cao to retreat."

"General Sun can tell him frankly, for the sake of brotherhood to send troops to help, it is really admirable to Guan, I came to see you this time, there is a confidential matter to discuss with General Sun."

Guan Yu said, stopped talking, the tiger's eyes flashed a compelling cold light, and coldly glanced at Sun Ce's tent, Sun Ce understood what he meant, and waved his big hand, "You all stand down, no one should approach the handsome tent without my order." ”

Except for Zhou Yu, everyone else retreated.

Guan Yu nodded, "General Sun is brave and good at fighting, and his courage is slightly outstanding, since you want to force Cao Cao to retreat, why not send troops to attack Xudu, in this way, not only can Cao Cao withdraw his troops, but also assist the Han family and save His Majesty from the cage, which can not only fulfill your love for your brother, but also clear the monarch's side, and save the country, why not do it." ”

"Sneak attack on Xudu?" Sun Ce was stunned, he hadn't thought about this proposal before, but Zhou Yu was worried that Cao Cao must be on guard, once he fell into Cao Cao's trap, it would be difficult for him to retreat with his whole body.

Cao Cao is not a fool, he must attach great importance to Xu Du, even if he can come to the city, it is unknown whether he can defeat Xu Du.

Zhou Yu interjected, "General Guan, aren't you joking?" Your brother is a relative of the Han family, after the nobles, he is determined to help the Han family and hoe traitors for the country, this time Cao Cao's army expedition, why did Liu Bei not send troops to attack Xu Du? You took the initiative to find us, and it is hard to believe your sincerity. ”

Guan Yu sighed, "It's not a secret, my three brothers don't want to get rid of the Cao thief and save the Han family all the time, but they are really powerless, and they are powerless." ”

Guan Yu is right, Liu Bei's troops are pitiful, not to mention that Chen Deng and Che Zhou in Xuzhou will guard against him, if he leads his troops to fight Xudu, it will undoubtedly be holding eggs and touching stones.

"You can't beat Xudu, the troops are insufficient, the strength is limited, is it possible, can we take Xudu?" Zhou Yu sneered.

Guan Yu glanced around vigilantly, and then lowered his voice, "There is something you may not know......

When Guan Yu said about the edict, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu were taken aback.
