Liu Zhang walked on the road that had just melted snow, fortunately the tires were made of eucommia ulmoides, and if they were replaced with wooden wheels, he didn't know how difficult to walk. However, the original road was still quite solid, that is, there was a layer of moist earth on the surface. Although the speed is a little slower, you can hurry up and hurry up, and you can also rush back to Chang'an around June.

Liu Zhang walked the way home, but Yanzhou and other places were already dry. The snow here has long since melted, and Liu Zhang returned tens of thousands of people to Cao Cao, although there are many who don't want to leave, but Liu Zhang can't take too much. In this way, Cao Cao slowly recovered an army of more than 100,000 people, although there are more young and strong forces, but he can be a soldier after one training. But I don't know if Cao Cao knows that the people he sent him are all tumors, will he be angry?

"The main public sentry rode to report that Guan Yu was stationed in Xiapi, and there were only Liu Bei and Zhang Fei in Xuzhou City." Xun Yu came quickly, and Xuzhou at this moment was really heavily garrisoned.

Cao Cao clenched his hands and said, "As long as I defeat Liu Bei, those soldiers will still be mine." Tomorrow we will attack Xuzhou, and we must end the battle within 20 days. Cao Cao was afraid that the war here would drag on for a long time, so he gave Yuan Shao a chance.

Three days later, Cao Cao's army arrived in Xuzhou, and in just one month, a large number of ordnance was arranged here, and it seemed that they were waiting for Cao Cao's arrival. At this moment, Cao Cao led hundreds of thousands of horses and horses, located in front of the city. Cao Cao narrowed his eyes and looked at Liu Bei on the city wall in front of him.

A few wisps of incense rose from an incense platform, and the three brothers of Liu Bei knelt in front of the stage: "Minister Liu Bei wept blood to worship the ancestors of the heavenly spirit, the court was unfortunate, and the national thieves were raging." Liu Bei can't rejuvenate the country in peace, and he can't suppress thieves and eliminate harm. Spend the sun and the moon hard, and the liver and intestines are broken. Liu Bei hereby burns incense to tell the sky, in this life, he swears not to stand with the thief, and he will definitely hoe the traitor. The words fell, and a dense Cao army appeared in front of him.

The high banners, the large number of chariots, and the soldiers in armor all illustrate Cao Cao's determination. This time, Cao Cao is bound to take Xuzhou, and he will definitely not give Liu Bei any chance. Cao Cao, who was in front of the Chinese army, couldn't help but sneer when he looked at Liu Bei on the city wall.

Cheng Yu rode his horse and said on the side: "The lord is so indomitable, this expedition has used all the elite, and Yanzhou has become an empty city." Yuan Shao's army was stationed in Guandu, looking at Yanzhou with fierce eyes. If Yuan Shao sneaks up on us at this time, Xuchang will inevitably lose, and once Xuchang loses, we will really become rootless water. "Cheng Yu is good at people's hearts, and it is precisely because of this that he is very worried.

Xun Yu on the side said: "Yuan Shao is suspicious and indecisive by nature, and he is then afraid and retreats to be greedy. Compared with Liu Zhang, who is greedy for money and lustful, he will not be afraid to let it go. In the face of the enemy's war, if you do not have a complete grasp, you will definitely not fight. But military aircraft are changing rapidly, how can you be very sure? If the lord breaks the enemy in a short period of time, Yuan Shao will definitely not take the initiative to sneak attack. Compared with Cheng Yu, who was worried, Xun Yu was full of confidence.

Cheng Yu looked at the city tower but couldn't help but move: "With all due respect, Xuzhou City is extremely strong, and now that Liu Bei has strengthened his defense, can he take it in a short time?" This is completely impossible, even if Yuan Shao is suspicious and indecisive, but the people around him are not inferior to you and me. Cheng Yu didn't believe it at all.

Xun Yu chuckled: "Then it depends on our soldiers in Yanzhou, as long as the lord takes Xuzhou in one fell swoop and returns to Yanzhou immediately, we will be a double line of north and south, and victory on both fronts." If you don't have to take risks, how can you win? Regardless of Liu Bei now, Liu Bei will inevitably attack Xu Du in the future, so the danger in the future is definitely greater than the danger today. Xun Yu insisted, right now, kill Liu Bei immediately. It is better to be defeated in the front than to let the rear be in danger.

Cao Cao listened to the conversation between the two people, but couldn't help but say: "Zhongde has strategy, and Wen Ruo has insight. The two of you are worthy of being my Cao Cao's right-hand man, and I have learned a lot from what I said. It's a pity that you don't know that when Yuan Shao was the leader of the Eighteenth Route Princes, he was afraid of Dong Zhuo. It can be seen that although Yuan Shao has many soldiers, he is a mediocre master. Although Liu Zhangbing is not many, he is also a mediocre master, but he has no opinions, and he will listen carefully to the words of his subordinates. Therefore, we have to defeat Yuan Shao and get Yuan Shao's advantage, so that we can deal with Liu Zhang, or those strategists around Liu Zhang. From this point of view, if we want to defeat Yuan Shao, then we must attack Xuzhou, plot against Yuan Shao, and finally solve Liu Zhang. After speaking, Cao Cao set his eyes on Liu Bei and the others who opened the city gate and rode out, and the seriousness on their faces seemed to be eager to eat themselves?

Cao Cao sat on the rack, and the soldiers drove the horses forward. On the other side, Liu Zhang took Zhang Fei and greeted him on a single horse. Is this a meeting between the two sides before the war to determine the relationship between friend and foe? The two stared at each other, and it took a long time for Cao Cao to say: "Liu Bei, you are the meat on my board and the fish in the pool." It's only because of my momentary negligence that I let you steal Xuzhou. Looking at Liu Bei on the other side, Cao Cao put on a posture.

Liu Bei held the reins of the horse tightly and stared at Cao Cao: "Cao Cao, your name is Han Chen, but you are actually a thief." Liu Bei is a Han family and vows to kill you. Speaking of this, Liu Bei was really full of momentum.

Cao Cao laughed, and after a while, he said: "There are many people in the world who want to kill me Cao Cao, but unfortunately they have all become dry bones in the grave." You are just Liu Bei, why are you my opponent Cao Cao? I advise you to dedicate the city quickly, and I will give you a piece of land to go back to farming and retirement. Otherwise, when the city is broken, the chickens and dogs will not be left. Liu Zhang also likes to say this, and he is even more ruthless than Cao Cao, such as not leaving an inch of grass.

Liu Bei chuckled: "Then come, although our army is small, we are brave and brave." Though you have many soldiers and horses, you will surely be defeated. Liu Bei's tone was very light, which not only made Cao Cao angry.

"Liu Bei, Liu Bei. Why are you so arrogant? Cao Cao felt that he could afford Liu Bei, but why did he talk like that?

The corners of Liu Bei's mouth hooked: "Because General Yuan Shao and Yuan have already rushed to the rear." In a few days, Xuchang will definitely be captured. Dare to ask Your Excellency, how did you die at that time? At this time, the hatred in Liu Bei's eyes was self-evident.

Cao Cao laughed for a long time, got up from the carriage, pointed at Liu Bei and said, "Yuan Shao? Ha ha...... You say Yuan Shao? Are you Liu Bei stupid? Who said in front of Yuan Shao that the erection was not enough? Now he actually pins his hopes on Yuan Shao? Are you overestimating Yuan Shao? "Who is Yuan Shao, no one in the world knows Yuan Shao better than him Cao Cao.

Liu Bei looked at Cao Cao silently, and it wasn't until Cao Cao calmed down that Liu Bei said: "My estimation of my feet is too high, I thought that even if you Cao Cao was a coercive of the Son of Heaven, you should have at least respect." But now you actually gave the queen and Dong Guiren to Liu Zhang, such a kingless person, it can be seen that you are not as good as a beast. "I don't care about the woman Liu Bei, but this is enough to be a good excuse to show Liu Bei's loyalty.

Cao Cao took a deep breath, being insulted like this, even Cao Cao needed to slow down: "Do you really want to fight?" In Cao Cao's impression, Liu Bei should be a person who knows the times and is a handsome man, especially when he left Yuan Shao, he was really decisive.

Liu Bei said in a deep voice: "Fight to the last breath, and never retreat." ”

"Okay......" After speaking, Cao Cao waved his hand and returned directly to the army, and the camp had been settled. After a rapid march until now, Cao Cao's army needed a break before it could continue fighting.

Liu Bei, who returned to the city, said calmly: "Gong You quickly go to Yuan Jun, and when you get to Yuan Shao, go to see Xu You first." That person is Yuan Shao's confidant and has a pivotal position. After you met him, you explained the truth, and got his help to go to see Yuan Shao. Liu Bei was very panicked, Yuan Shaoren couldn't do it, his strategists should be okay, right?

The big war was about to break out, and even a strong tension filled the air. As for why Liu Bei didn't go to ask for help from Liu Zhang, in fact, Liu Bei learned that Liu Zhang returned the captured soldiers to Cao Cao, and then asked to leave the queen and Dong Guiren. This made Liu Bei jealous and angry, then Liu Zhang and Cao Cao were people in a urinal. asked Liu Zhang for help, maybe Liu Zhang would join Cao Cao to beat him to death.

What is Yuan Shao doing at this moment? He hadn't made up his mind to tear his face with Cao Cao, and local conflicts continued to gain an advantage, so Yuan Shao was not in a hurry at all. As a person who is not very sure and will not take the initiative, Yuan Shao will definitely accumulate advantages little by little, until Yuan Shao can be sure that he will take Cao Cao in one fell swoop, otherwise he will definitely not act rashly.

Sun Gan rushed all the way to Yuan Shao's camp and came to Yuan Shao's camp, looking at the military camp that could not be seen at a glance, Sun Gan was really envious. When will your lord have such a big situation? Shaking his head, Sun Gan hurriedly walked towards the camp, and outside the camp, Sun Qian saw Xu You.

Without much to say, Sun Qian hurriedly took out Liu Bei's letter and handed it to Xu You, Xu You, who had two mustaches, first squinted at Sun Gan before looking at the letter in a hurry. After reading it, Xu You chuckled and closed the letter, first walked a few steps around the camp before asking, "So?" Then Cao Cao and Cao Mengde led an army of 150,000 to attack Xuzhou? It can be seen that Xu You is very happy in his heart, if this is really the case, it is really a godsend.

After Sun Qian saluted, he hurriedly said: "Mr. Xuzhou is in a hurry at the moment, my lord asks Duke Yuan to send troops quickly." Sun Qian was really anxious, from Xuzhou all the way to Jizhou, he crossed the land of three states, and now he is more and more worried about Xuzhou.

Xu You was startled, and his pupils narrowed: "Ten thousand? You say Xuzhou is in a hurry? Could it be that Liu Bei can't hold Xuzhou anymore? "If Xuzhou has broken the city, then sending troops will seem meaningless. Maybe he will be calculated by Cao Mengde, which makes Xu You have to be cautious.

It is best for Cao Cao to form a stalemate with Liu Bei in Xuzhou, and only in this way is the demonstration of his talent. If this is not the case, he Xu You will not dare to make ideas at will, in case of an accident, according to Yuan Shao's character, he Xu You will inevitably be punished.
