Now Liu Bei is very clear about the situation he is facing, and he actually has no way out in Xuzhou. （）

On Cao Cao's side, he has basically lost the value of containing Lu Bu, if Zhu Wei controls Xuzhou, Cao Cao definitely does not think that he can contain Zhu Wei, then Cao Cao may not be able to fight with Zhu Wei at will for the sake of Liu Bei.

In addition, although he had some agreements with Zhu Wei before, he might be able to use Zhu Wei's strength to confront Cao Cao, but now Liu Bei has also figured it out, and Zhu Wei also has no need to use a small force like him to contain Cao Cao.

Originally, Lu Bu was just a wolf, so Cao Cao could raise Liu Bei's dog to fight against the wolf, but now Cao Cao and Zhu Wei are both fierce tigers, how can they let his little dog stop next to him, I am afraid that they will swallow him first.

So if Liu Bei can't capture Xuzhou this time, I'm afraid Zhu Wei won't tolerate him staying in Xiaopei at will.

Thinking of this, Liu Bei had an idea in his heart, anyway, he was unwilling to easily lose the opportunity to seize Xuzhou in front of him, maybe he could only fight, and if he couldn't do it, he would go to Yuan Shao.

Liu Bei also found a way out for himself, and if he couldn't do it, he led his troops to flee to Yuan Shao, maybe with the identity of the Han family, he could still find some opportunities on Yuan Shao's side.

"Xuan Gao, now that our army has come here, if we withdraw our troops like this, wouldn't it make the world laugh, even Zhu Wei will laugh at us before we see him, so we heard the wind and fled! Therefore, this time we must take Pengcheng first, so that we can have the confidence to negotiate with Zhu Wei! ”

After Liu Bei had an idea in his heart, he flickered and encouraged Zang Ba, now he didn't want Zang Ba to retreat directly, then it would be more difficult to attack Pengcheng with his army left.

At the same time, Liu Bei also wanted to drag Zang Ba and Peng Cheng to fight first, so that Zang Ba offended Zhu Wei, so that Zang Ba could be pulled to his boat, and if it was really not possible in the future, he could take Zang Ba to follow him to Yuan Shao.

At that time, Liu Bei's capital will be greater, which will naturally make Yuan Shao pay more attention to him and reap greater benefits on Yuan Shao's side.

Zang Ba didn't have so much careful thinking about Liu Bei, frowned and thought about it, and felt that Liu Bei's words were right, he had already come to Pengcheng with a large army, could it be that he went back without any benefits.

Not to mention that Zhu Wei will be underestimated in the future, even now it is not easy to explain to those Taishan thieves under him.

So Zang Ba stabilized his mind and said, "Okay, just according to Xuande's words!" Let's go back and repair it first, and attack the camp of Zhang Liao tomorrow! If Wei Xu sent troops to help in that city, he could also find an opportunity to counterattack Pengcheng! ”

Now the camp on Zhang Liao's side is opposite the north gate of Pengcheng, so Zang Ba can imagine that if they send troops to attack Zhang Liao's camp, the defenders in Pengcheng may come out from the north gate to support Zhang Liao.

Zang Ba inevitably had a plan in his heart to encircle the point and send reinforcements, but now he only thought that Wei Xu was in charge of Pengcheng, but he didn't expect that it was Lu Lingqi who controlled the military power in Pengcheng.

"Okay, go back to camp!"

Liu Bei agreed, and he made a plan with Zang Ba, and then Liu Bei turned his head and shouted loudly to Zhang Liao on the gate of the camp, "Wen Yuan, even if you don't listen to the advice, then you can only meet with swords!" Now that all that Pengcheng is left behind is just a new pawn, how can he resist the army of a certain and Xuangao, Wen Yuan, please think twice, don't make a mistake! See you on the battlefield tomorrow! ”

"Don't worry about Xuandegong! Tomorrow, Zhang Liao is waiting for Xuande Gong! ”

Zhang Liao heard that Liu Bei finally announced the war letter like tearing his face, and he also responded loudly.

Immediately Liu Bei and Zang Ba led the troops back, Zhang Liao sent a team of scouts to chase and probe the garrison of Liu Bei and Zang Ba's army, and then Zhang Liao returned to the military tent in the village from the gate tower of the camp, and discussed with Song Xian and Hou Cheng.

"Song Xian, Hou Cheng, now that Liu Bei and Zang Ba are joining forces to attack, the number of troops is afraid to reach 30,000, if he and other camps attack tomorrow, I am afraid that this military village will not be able to resist. I intend to send troops to attack tonight, or it may be successful! Song Xian, tonight you stay in the military village, Hou Cheng went out with a certain battle, a certain only brought 3,000 old soldiers in the state, if it doesn't work, Song Xian just guards the military village, no need to come out to support, but after that, you will fight against Liu Bei and Zang Ba's army! ”

Zhang Liao's eyes flashed, obviously he had also made up his mind to attack Liu Bei and Zang Ba's camp at night, and he also knew in his heart the strength of the army on his side, and only the three thousand old soldiers of Bingzhou had some combat effectiveness.

Now he also sees that in tomorrow's battle, Liu Bei and Zang Ba will inevitably use his military village as the main direction of attack, and with the strength of Liu Bei and Zang Ba's combined army, if he attacks his military village, he is really not sure that he can defend it.

Therefore, now only by taking the initiative can we have a chance to fight.

"Wen Yuan, if Liu Bei and Zang Ba are prepared, wouldn't it be bad!"

Hou Cheng heard that Zhang Liao was going to take him to a night attack, and heard Zhang Liao say that he had no way back, as if he had instructed Song Xian about the future, but he hesitated a little in his heart, Zhang Liao was not Lu Bu after all, if Lu Bu issued an order like this, Hou Cheng would have nothing to say, but now it is just Zhang Liao's words, Hou Cheng can't help but have his own careful thoughts.

"It doesn't matter, if you are prepared, our army is just harassing it, but our army can't defend this military village, so if you can't break through Liu Bei and Zang Ba's military village in a battle tonight, then I'm ready to lead the army guerrillas on the periphery, waiting for the opportunity to move again! Now, as long as we can delay the time, and wait for General Zhennan's reinforcements to arrive, everything will naturally be worry-free! ”

Zhang Liao understood that he could not arbitrarily assign a general like Hou Cheng who was originally of similar status to himself, so he could only patiently explain his tactical arrangements to Hou Cheng.

Zhang Liao knew that only when Liu Bei and Zang Ba's army first arrived tonight, and the new camp was built, and the army was tired, he had the opportunity to attack at night, and tomorrow, if Liu Bei and Zang Ba's army attacked, it was still a question of whether he could hold it on his side, and he would lose his first move.

In fact, this time Zhang Liao built the camp by the Surabaya River, but did not stick to the north gate of Pengcheng, that is, he did not want his army to be surrounded by Liu Bei and Zang Ba's army in Pengcheng.

He still wanted to lead his troops to wait for an opportunity to move on the periphery of Liu Bei and Zang Ba's army, so that Pengcheng's defense would not lose its agility, and there could be a certain internal and external echo, so that Liu Bei and Zang Ba could not attack Pengcheng with all their might.

Of course, the most critical reason for this is that among the 3,000 old troops under Zhang Liao, there is a 300-strong Bingzhou Iron Cavalry.

The Bingzhou Iron Cavalry can also be regarded as a heavy cavalry unit in the early Three Kingdoms, and it is a strong cavalry unit that can be called the Xiliang Cavalry, so Zhang Liao does not want this cavalry to lose its original advantage and waste it in defensive battles as infantry.

The cavalry troops can only give full play to their combat advantages when they are fighting outside the city, and Zhang Liao, as a cavalry general, will not easily waste the combat effectiveness of these cavalry.

This time, Zhang Liao wanted to use the combat effectiveness of the Bingzhou Iron Cavalry to attack Liu Bei and Zang Ba's military camps at night......
