Xuzhou City at noon, the city gate is closed, the guard is tight, the soldiers on the city tower are no longer as usual, idle, hanging, everyone is in their own position, conscientiously complete their tasks, just because the day before yesterday announced, Cao Jun is marching towards Xuzhou in a big way.

As winter progresses, the temperature gets lower and lower, and every time you exhale, a mist will form in front of you, which will be blown by the wind and disappear again in an instant.

Above the east city gate, the small commander of the city in armor was looking at the movement in the distance, and suddenly a black line appeared on the horizon, which gradually became thicker, at first he thought he was wrong, but the little commander rubbed his eyes and looked again, and finally saw that the dense army was originally marching forward.

"It's coming! Cao Jun is here, report to the lord quickly, be on alert, be on alert! ”

The little commander shouted without regard to his image, and the silence on the castle tower disappeared in an instant, and everyone moved, either to report the news, or to pick up a bow and arrow, etc.

It didn't take long for Tao Qian and Liu Bei, who received the news, to rush to the Dongcheng Tower with their subordinates, and the little commander hurriedly stepped aside and handed over to Tao Qian to take charge.

"Sure enough, it came."

Tao Qian confirmed the situation, leaned against the city wall and sighed.

"Xuande is willing to bear it with all his might, so as not to suffer for me in Xuzhou." Liu Bei clenched his fists and said.

"You still don't understand?"

Tao Qian glared at Liu Bei, and said coldly: "You are just an excuse for Cao Cao to send troops, and now you are a grasshopper on a rope, not only for you, but also for the people of Xuzhou." ”

"In that case, Xuande asks to be the first to fight."

Liu Bei saw that Tao Qian had made up his mind, and he was no longer entangled in the past.

"The two armies are fighting, how can there be a reason for the main thing to come first, Xuande Xiu wants to come nonsense."

Tao Qian didn't give Liu Bei any chance to go out of the city at all, for fear that he would go to bear the blame if he couldn't think about it.

Seeing that Tao Qian was determined to stay with himself, Liu Bei had no choice but to watch Cao Jun slowly approach Xuzhou.

Soon after, the vanguard of Cao's army, under the leadership of Xiahoudun and Dian Wei, lined up outside the city of Xuzhou, staring at the Xuzhou soldiers and horses on the city wall, with the intention of starting a war if they did not agree.

"Who is leading the army under the city, I don't know what your lord's plan is?" Tao Qian shouted loudly towards the city.

"I am Cao Gong's subordinate Xiahou Dun."

Xiahoudun stepped forward and pointed his gun at Liu Bei, "My lord is here for Liu Xuande, and I advise Lord Taishou not to meddle in things, it hurts the peace." ”

"Hmph."

Tao Qian's face showed a bit of ridicule, and he laughed loudly: "Really when I Tao Gongzu is a three-year-old child, Cao Gong's meaning, it seems that Liu Xuande is actually from Xuzhou, yes or no?" ”

"Since Taishou can see it, why don't you come down early, and let the people of Xuzhou survive."

Xiahoudun was bold by nature, and he was too lazy to hide it, so he generously stepped forward and shouted: "I have to fight, and send people out of the city to fight with me." ”

"Good son."

Tao Qian would not lose momentum in front of the enemy, and immediately turned his head and sent his generals to fight.

"Yun Chang is willing to fight, and I hope that Taishou will agree."

A strong voice suddenly sounded beside him, Tao Qian went to the prestige, and sure enough, it was the red-faced and beautiful Guan Yunchang, and suddenly Tao Qian was overjoyed in his heart, and he was worried about who would be able to win, but now Guan Yu took the initiative to ask for help.

"Since Yun Chang is intentional, he thinks he is perfect."

Tao Qian turned around and looked at Guan Yu with concern on his face, "Yun Chang still hopes to be more careful, don't fall in love with war." ”

"No."

Guan Yu answered, turned around and went down the city, Liu Bei didn't stop him, after all, Liu Bei was quite relieved about Guan Yu's strength.

Just when Xiahoudun was about to call the battle again, the city gate opened, and Guan Yu came with a big knife in his hand, staring at Xiahoudun without the slightest expression.

"Xiahoudun."

"Guan Yu."

"Kill."

The two of them reported their names, and Xiahoudun took the lead and couldn't bear it, so he rode his horse and rushed over, and Guan Yu followed and hedged.

"Eat me, grab it."

Before anyone arrived, the gun arrived first, and the spear in Xiahoudun's hand flew out and took Guan Yu directly.

Facing the sharp tip of the spear, Guan Yu's face did not change, and he picked up the Qinglong Yanyue knife with his backhand, brought the body of the gun to the other side, and then held the Qinglong Yanyue knife with both hands, followed the body of the gun, and slashed towards Xiahoudun's side.

Xiahou Xuan, who didn't have time to make a countermeasure, his eyes flashed, the spear came out of his hand, his body fell to the left, hanging on the left side of the horse's body, and the Qinglong Yanyue Knife instantly slashed through the sky without the slightest obstruction.

Seeing this, Xiahoudun turned over and got on the horse, grabbed the spear that was about to fall, rode the horse for a while, and then turned the horse's head, and at this time, Guan Yu also turned the horse's head and rushed towards Xiahoudun again.

"Boom."

The two fought together again, going back and forth for several rounds without a win.

After a fruitless battle, Xiahoudun and Guan Yu retreated, ending this tentative battle.

As the commander of the vanguard army, Xiahoudun did not receive an order to attack the city directly, and after this time, he retreated five miles with the army, camped and camped, waiting for the arrival of grain and grass and Cao Cao's army.

Seeing that Xiahoudun had no intention of attacking the city, Tao Qian ordered his subordinates to strictly monitor him, and then left with everyone, not waiting here, and discussed countermeasures.

On the other side, Lu Bu had already led troops to the city to besiege Yanzhou, Xun Yu and Cheng Yu were deployed in the three counties, and for a while, Lu Bu's army was so powerful that it took less than half an hour to break through Yanzhou and enter the city.

Li Dian in the palace got the news at this time, it was too late, the city gate was broken, and he was unable to return to the sky, so Li Dian had no choice but to take Yu Ban and the remnants of the army to evacuate to Juancheng, Dong'e, and Fan County, and send Yanzhou out.

However, after Lü Bu got Yanzhou, he still had no intention of stopping, and led his troops to fight again, broke through Puyang and other places, and occupied all the cities under Cao Cao's name.

In the end, Lu Bu attacked the three counties, intending to draw a salary from the bottom of the kettle and wipe out all Cao Cao's heritage, but fortunately, Xun Yu, Cheng Yu and Li Dian resisted properly, and finally beat Lu Bu back, and not all of them were defeated.

Xun Yu and Cheng Yu, who were out of breath, hurriedly sent people to hurry up and hurry up in the starry night, and informed Cao Cao, who had almost arrived outside Xuzhou City, of the situation here.

And during this period of time, the alliance of the three armies of Sun Jian, Ma Teng, and Han Sui broke through Chang'an, and Linzhou was defeated and broke through with the Son of Heaven and his subordinates, intending to go to meet Xu Zisheng, and the three armies were divided into Chang'an, discussing the next time for cooperation.

The Han dynasty was full of wars, and all the princes wanted to dominate one side and even dominate the world.
