Sun Gan's words were like a thunderbolt from the sky, beating Liu Bei to death. Trembling for a long time, Liu Bei asked, "Is the child sick?" At the moment of the great enemy, he, as the commander-in-chief, actually did not send troops because of his illness? Liu Bei's eyes widened, and a familiar feeling fell into his heart, when Dong Zhuo fled to Chang'an in defeat, he did not pursue.

Sun Qian said helplessly: "If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it." But in fact, Yuan Shao did just that......" Sun Gan's tone was still quite shocked, even after so long, he still felt funny.

Liu Bei's eyes rolled wildly: "That Xu You understands people, did he persuade him?" "Yuan Shao is confused, but his advisers shouldn't be confused.

Sun Qian said helplessly: "After persuasion, Yuan Shao refused to listen, and finally Xu Yu said a few words to the mediocre master, and Yuan Shao also beat Mr. Xu with forty military sticks." ”

Zhang Fei on the side stared at him for a long time and said, "Such a mediocre master is so ignorant of the general situation. How can someone like Big Brother be rescued? What now? Although Zhang Fei was reckless, he didn't think that he could really beat Cao Cao's hundreds of thousands of troops.

Liu Bei frowned for a long time, but finally asked Xu Shu on the side: "Sir, now that Yuan Shao refuses to send troops, and Cao's army besieges Xuzhou, what should we do?" "Liu Bei is really anxious, such a God-given opportunity Yuan Shao actually gave up?

Xu Shu frowned and walked back and forth and said, "Gongyou, what was Cao Jun doing when you came in?" They haven't attacked the city for two days. "The stability outside the city made Xu Shu uneasy, and Cao Cao was playing some kind of conspiracy.

Sun Qian thought for a moment: "When I came back from the main road, Cao Jun was twenty miles away. The army was well defended, and there was no movement in sight. Sun Qian couldn't understand why Cao Jun didn't attack the city, wasn't it good to take Xuzhou quickly? Or is Cao Cao suspicious?

Xu Shu frowned and said, "Could it be that there was any accident in Cao Cao?" That's why they don't attack well? Or are you tired of attacking the city for days? So want to take a break? Xu Shu thought about it, Yuan Shao did not send troops, which was also in his consideration. So since Yuan Shao did not send troops, he also considered how to take refuge in Yuan Shao. It is definitely not the work of a wise man to consume it like this, it will only make him be eliminated by Cao Cao little by little.

"Lord, we're going to break through. It's bound to go to Yuan Shao, and now it doesn't make much sense for us to stick to Xuzhou. The soldiers and horses we finally got will only be wiped out by Cao Cao little by little. Rather than this, it is better for us to break through, and then we can see what Yuan Shao does. In fact, there are words hidden in this statement, and only Liu Bei and Xu Shu understand. That is, when Yuan Shao's army is defeated, Liu Bei will take the opportunity to seize Bingzhou and Youzhou, and then collect Yuan Shao's old department.

After Liu Bei listened, An held back the thoughts in his heart and said, "Everything is up to the military advisor." "Now it's up to us to see how to break the city and how to get to Yuan Shao. You must know that the place where Cao Cao is stationed must be on the way back, and if he Liu Bei wants to go over, there must be a battle, otherwise so many people will definitely not be able to leave.

Although Zhang Fei on the side didn't understand the code words of Xu Shu and Liu Bei, he listened to Sun Gan's words and said: "Then Cao's army retreated so far, it must be that the army is not strong." Why don't we take the opportunity to attack Cao's camp at night? When the time comes, a fire will burn the grain and grass of the Cao army, and the Cao army will definitely retreat at that time. Zhang Fei felt that the plan was perfect, and it was still not enough to count on others.

Xu Shu nodded and said, "Time is not waiting for me, Cao Jun's rest is an opportunity at this moment." Today, the lord will prepare his army and horses, and in the evening we will prepare to attack Cao's army at night. There is also a messenger to inform Yun Chang, and when the time comes, let him go directly to Qingzhou with the lord's family. "Xuzhou is very close to Qingzhou, not to mention that Liu Bei is very familiar with it.

Now that Yuan Shao will no longer send troops to help, then Liu Bei will inevitably fight for his life in order not to sit still. Of course, Liu Bei doesn't have to worry too much, he can also go from Xuzhou to Qingzhou. Qingzhou's assassination history is Yuan Tan, once Liu Bei also recommended him as Maocai, that person will inevitably treat him with courtesy.

At this moment, in Cao Ying, Cao Cao was lying on the bed thinking. He was thinking about all the actions of Liu Zhang, or the actions of Liu Zhang's men. At present, it seems that Liu Zhang's army marched and fought and did not reveal a strong combat effectiveness, but why did he always take down Jingzhou and Jiujiang so easily?

Cao Cao believed that the people around Liu Zhang must be proficient in the art of war, and even said that they were proficient in the art of war at the upper level, which was a strategy to attack the heart. When others see Liu Zhang coming to attack, they will inevitably pay attention to the young Liu Zhang, and secondly, because Liu Zhang's real notoriety will inevitably despise him, so that his subordinates can engage in some conspiracies. Even if Liu Zhang is defeated or weak, they will believe it. Or with a little temptation, you can make people unable to extricate themselves.

For example, in the battle of Shangcai, is it really that his army is inferior to Liu Zhang? No, it was the military general who defended the city who was actually inducing Cao Ang with the temptation of breaking the city, and the young Cao Ang would inevitably be attracted. Secondly, the preconceived Guo Jia will also feel that it must be the lack of combat effectiveness in the city, and Liu Zhang's army is far away. At the last moment, even if the city's combat strength was really insufficient, they were still attacking the city with all their might. It didn't take much to slaughter the surging cavalry.

Cao Cao has been thinking about it for the past few days, the art of war is really interesting. If the elite soldiers are strong and the generals cooperate with this kind of heart-attacking strategist, Cao Cao feels that this is really invincible. That kind of person simply thinks about people's hearts to the extreme. So now, Cao Cao also tried to come strongly, but showed the enemy weakly to see what would happen?

Cao Ren didn't know what Cao Cao was thinking, and at this time, only Xun Yu could guess a little bit of Cao Cao's thoughts. But Cao Ren and others were in a hurry, on the one hand, it was the threat of Yuan Shao, and on the other hand, Xuzhou was unable to attack for a long time. Looking at Cao Cao, who was still reading a book with a bamboo slip, Cao Ren couldn't help but ask: "My lord, my army has come from afar, and the benefits are in a quick battle." But why do you want to withdraw your troops and rest? Could it be that the lord is worried that the casualties are too great? "Cao Ren really doesn't understand.

Cao Cao put down the bamboo slip and glanced at Cao Ren and said lightly: "Yuan Shao hasn't sent troops yet, Zixiao, the art of war is taught by idiots." Look at Liu Zhang? Those strategists have always only attacked the heart, but they are not rigid. Zixiao, when will you become the real master? The more I thought about Cao Cao, the more I felt that Liu Zhang was powerful, and he really coveted the few strategists around Liu Zhang.

"In the past few days, I have used weak brigades to attack the city, or have just enlisted in the army. The elite troops did not move at all, just because they were well arranged, and if they attacked strongly, the losses would be too great. In that case, why not tempt Liu Bei? Liu Bei saw that we were tired and withdrew to rest, what would he do without Yuan Shao's assistance? Cao Cao said this, looking at Cao Ren with a funny look in his eyes.

Cao Ren was stunned for a moment and said, "Liu Bei will inevitably fight for his life and seek a glimmer of life." Thinking of this, Cao Ren's eyes lit up. If there is an ambush at this time, won't all of Liu Bei's tens of thousands of troops be eaten?

Cao Cao smiled: "Only by luring Liu Bei out can we annihilate Liu Bei in one fell swoop." Liu Zhang used the same means to cause my son's defeat. Now it seems that it is no wonder that this method will make people defeated, and this feeling makes Cao Cao enjoy.

"The Admiral understands."

Cao Cao glanced at Cao Ren and said, "We must be strictly defended these nights, and as for how to set up an ambush, I will leave it to you to arrange." Remember how Liu Zhang trained those soldiers, you must go to patrol at night, understand? ”

At night, the gate of Xuzhou slowly opened, and Liu Bei and others were dressed in bright armor. The expressions of the crowd were serious, and the victory or defeat was probably decided here. In the second half of the night, Liu Bei and others rushed out. In the distance, Cao Ying could only see the stars and lights, it seemed that only a few soldiers were on duty, and the rest were sleeping?

Zhang Fei's eyes were good, and after seeing those few rays of light, he hurriedly said: "Big brother, that Cao Jun is simply defenseless, let's kill it now." "It seems that Cao Cao thinks he has eaten them.

Liu Bei looked at it carefully and said, "Slow, let's observe it and then talk." There weren't even patrols outside, just a few soldiers on the watchtower. Cao Cao has always been cautious in using soldiers, why can't he even see the soldiers on patrol? "Liu Zhang is so powerful, isn't he still defeated by Cao Cao? Although Liu Zhang counterattacked Cao Cao in the end, the territory was really lost. Overall, Cao Cao won.

Liu Bei stepped forward slowly, and through the few traces of brightness, Liu Bei saw the sentry at the door crumbling. He was really on the verge of falling asleep, and the soldiers on the tower were already asleep leaning against the wall. Liu Bei, who looked at it like this, was shocked, it seemed that Cao Jun was really tired.

Zhang Fei couldn't help it after looking at it for a while: "Big brother, let's kill it." The sentry is going to fall asleep, and Cao Jun can't do it. This opportunity is really rare, which makes Zhang Fei can't help but be eager to try.

Liu Bei grabbed Zhang Fei and said, "Yide, have you seen that big camp?" Wait a minute, you and I will go straight to the camp. Cao Cao must be there, and when the time comes, we will capture Cao Cao alive, and we will definitely be able to complete it. "At this time, it is completely impossible to kill Cao Jun, but if Cao Cao is killed, he will definitely lose his momentum and win without a fight.

"No!"

"......" Liu Bei pulled out the accessories and roared angrily. At this moment, he had the feeling of a hero, and although his momentum was a little weaker, he was somewhat weaker. Hundreds of cavalry rode towards the large camp in the army, and even if the cavalry rushed to the front of the camp, only a few soldiers at the gate of the army came to their senses.

Cao's army was hundreds of thousands, Liu Bei was only more than 40,000 soldiers in Xuzhou, and the remaining thousands were still placed in Xiapi for defense. There was handed over to Guan Yu, and Liu Bei was still quite relieved. In this way, Cao Cao also had to disperse some of his troops to Xiapi, so it seemed that there were not too many soldiers in the camp, and this time Liu Bei tried his best to attack Cao's army.
