Chapter 37: The Battle of Xuzhou (13)

Liu Bei highlighted the encirclement! But only a few hundred remnants remained.

Fortunately! Guan Yu, Zhao Yun and others are still there, and the real elite power is still there!

However, the rest of the armies did not seem to go as smoothly as expected, and all the armies encountered battles and were injured, but on the whole, Liu Bei's army was in an extremely disadvantaged situation.

On the other hand, Cao Cao secretly sent hundreds of teams, each team only had more than 100 people, and seized the counties and counties of Xuzhou with lightning speed, and ordered people to strictly defend them, trying to trap Liu Bei's army in Xuzhou!

After the end of the war, Cao Cao's various armies did not exterminate Liu Bei's army one by one, which may be a waste for Cao Cao, after all, after the Battle of Xuzhou, there is a bigger battle waiting for him.

What Cao Cao has to do now is to wait for Liu Bei to be unable to bear the torture of hunger and fatigue, take the initiative to surrender, or leave Xuzhou, only in this way can Cao Cao fight Yuan Shao with peace of mind!

However, for more than half a month, Liu Bei's army disappeared without a trace on the land of Xuzhou like air, that is, he did not surrender voluntarily, let alone leave Xuzhou.

****************************

"Yuanlong! How many days will there be enough food in these cellars? ”

On the cliff, Liu Bei faced the wind, with his hands behind his back, wearing armor, hanging a sharp sword at his waist, and his eyes fell to Xiapi City not far away, there were still a large number of Cao troops stationed in the city, and there were military tents everywhere outside the city, stretching endlessly.

A gust of wind hit the face, causing Liu Bei's robe to fly, and Chen Deng stood behind him, took a small step forward, and bowed his hand: "Lord!" Every cellar was prepared according to the monthly ration of a thousand men, and at this time our army was less than five hundred, enough for two months. ”

Liu Bei nodded, still looking at Xiapi from afar, and sighed: "Yuanlong!" What news does Yuan Shao have? ”

Chen Deng said: "A few days ago, I ordered people to rush to Yecheng in Jizhou at night, and Lord Liu was already waiting for news in Yecheng, so he must have started to move around at this time. ”

The cellar was specially prepared by Liu Bei at Mi Zhu's behest in secret, just in case of accidents, and he didn't want it to really come in handy today.

Before the Battle of Xuzhou, Liu Bei knew that although Yuan Shao sent troops, he was only stationed and did not attack Baima.

And at this time! The time has come!

In a sense, Liu Bei at this time has been defeated by Cao Cao, as long as this point reaches Yuan Shao's ears, presumably Yuan Shao will really use troops against Cao Cao.

That Yuan Shao!

It's also a guy who can't afford to be early. He would never unite with Liu Bei to destroy Cao Cao first, and then eat Liu Bei because Liu Bei was weak, he would only let Cao Liu fight to the death, lose both, and then send troops, and then annihilate Cao Liu in one fell swoop.

"Hmmm! Very good. ”

Liu Bei only turned around at this time, showed a happy smile, and said: "Immediately send someone to contact Yide Shuzhi and others, as long as the Cao army withdraws, we will retake Xuzhou!" ”

Chen Deng seemed to remember something, and said, "Lord! With all due respect, Xuzhou is the place of the four wars, and after the Cao thief troubled Xuzhou, Xuzhou has been dilapidated, and the people do not have one out of ten, and they must not be the capital of the king, so it is better to take this opportunity"

"Where do you think it's appropriate?"

How could Liu Bei not know that this ruined Xuzhou was by no means a place to live for a long time, but at this time, he didn't know where to go, and when he heard Chen Deng's words, he immediately became interested.

Chen Deng said again: "What does the lord think of Jiangdong? At this time, Sun Ce died, the situation in Jiangdong was turbulent, and Sun Quan was young, how could he support the great family? That Zhou Yu was very proud of himself, and his prestige in the army was a little higher than that of Sun Quan, as long as the two of them fought together, it would be the time for us to seize Jiangdong. ”

Fight again???

Liu Bei paused and didn't speak, he just didn't know how to talk to Chen Deng, could he tell him that he was familiar with history, or that he could predict the future, Zhou Yu was loyal and would never betray?

Chen Deng saw that Liu Bei was silent, but he mistakenly thought that Liu Bei was already moved, and he was secretly happy in his heart, and said: "Lord! When he was the Taishou of Guangling, he had already ordered someone to draw a map of the six counties and eighty-one counties in Jiangdong. ”

Liu Bei was stunned, it turned out that Chen Deng had a plan for Jiangdong, this person was ambitious in the world and quite ambitious!

But isn't this kind of ambition exactly what Liu Bei needs most? As long as this person is still under control, it is excellent for Liu Bei, otherwise once it gets out of control, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Ha ha

Liu Bei smiled on his back, while Chen Deng slowly took out the silk letter and presented it to Liu Bei.

Liu Bei tore open the silk letter, looked up and down, the mountains, rivers, villages and towns on the map are armed, there is everything, such a detailed map, how can it be a day's work, for Chen Deng's efforts, Liu Bei is very pleased, this person is indeed outstanding.

"Yuanlong! If Zhou Yu is loyal and willing to assist Sun Quan, what should it be? ”

Liu Bei didn't want to hit the confidence of his subordinates, so he had to explain what was about to happen in a different tone, so that Chen Deng could have a foreshadowing of his inner emotions and not make a confused decision.

"This"

Chen Deng was dumb and silent.

In fact, Liu Bei has already planned, Xuzhou is not a place to live for a long time, it is already a matter of consensus at this time, Jiangdong is united, the soldiers are good and the food is sufficient, and it cannot be broken, and Cao Yuan and both sides, no matter who wins, will definitely destroy Liu Bei next!

Jingzhou! It is the only place that can be dominated, and it is consumed in Xuzhou at this time, which is only a process for Liu Bei to increase his strength, and it is also a process for weakening Cao Cao.

Only in this way can we avoid the tragic story of abandoning Xinye, going to Fancheng, defeating the sun, and running to Xiakou!

"Yuanlong! The matter of Xuzhou has been put on hold for the time being, and whether it can survive at the moment is the top priority! ”

Liu Bei took a step forward, stretched out his hand and patted Chen Deng's shoulder, smiled indifferently, and said: "Yuanlong doesn't need to be anxious, there will be a time for you to make contributions in this chaotic world." ”

Lower Pi City Thorn History Fuzhong.

Cao Cao sat on the top, sitting in a precarious position, with a sad face, and the next cadre of civil and military forces was lined up on both sides.

"Gongda! Xuzhou is basically settled, but I am still uneasy in my heart, now it has been more than half a month, has the big-eared thief disappeared? Even if they starve to death, there should be corpses. ”

Xun Yu in the hall was also puzzled, shook his head and said: "Not only Liu Bei has disappeared, but the rest of the remnants of the army under his command have also disappeared, which is really doubtful." ”

"Newspaper~"

A small official broke into the hall in a panic, knelt down and said, "Lord! Xu Du urgent letter. With that, he took out the letter from the bamboo tube and presented it to the attendants.

When Cao Cao heard Xu Du's letter, he was immediately shocked, tore open the list of silk letters, and was even more shocked, got up and ordered: "At three o'clock in the afternoon today, we will gather the three armies and go to Xu Du." ”

Behind Xun You, Xu Chu was a little puzzled, and asked softly, "Sir!" Why is Liu Bei not extinguished, and he is in a hurry to return to Xuchang? ”

Xun You replied indifferently: "Yuan Shao! Here it comes. ”
