"What about the messenger, the one who came to deliver the message dragged me out and cut it down!" Our boss Cao still couldn't hold back, and was angry by Liu Bei's letter. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
If it weren't for the fact that it was getting late, I am afraid that the troops would have been dispatched long ago.
The other generals nodded their heads in agreement, and even Guo Jia on the side didn't say much, but kept frowning, as if thinking about something.
"Click!" A large head was cut off and returned to Tao Qian's army in Pengcheng along with the letter.
"Tao Qian's old man, Liu Bei Pifu, insulting me too much, I dare to tolerate you, I will definitely break through the city today, destroy the Er clan, and kill!" Cao Cao's order did not give Peng Chengzhong Tao Qian the slightest explanation.
Under the head of the city, tens of thousands of troops were like ants, going forward one after another, regardless of casualties, so that the Xuzhou army above the city head suffered heavy losses.
But fortunately, the previous victory made the Xuzhou army in Pengcheng breathe, and this morale was at its peak.
It also resisted Cao Cao's siege.
Tao Qian looked at those Xuzhou soldiers and horses dying in battle, it was in his eyes and hurting in his heart.
In the north gate, the place where Liu Bei defended was also a lot of casualties, which made Tao Qian's heart feel a little more comfortable, Liu Bei Liu Xuande Since you want to take advantage of the fire to rob, then be prepared to lose money.
"Resist, resist!" Liu Bei presided over the attack and defense of the north gate, it was indeed just as Chen Deng calculated, although five thousand soldiers and horses were given to Liu Bei, but the north gate was a bottomless pit, Liu Bei was bound to be trapped, sure enough, the five thousand soldiers and horses within two days Cao Cao's army attacked the city, and the five thousand troops were killed and wounded.
And in order to prevent the city of Xuzhou from being broken, Liu Bei could only let his own soldiers and horses fill it in.
Some of the elites that Liu Bei brought to Pengcheng have been put in, and Liu Bei is so distressed that he trembles.
Looking at Tao Qian's voice and shadow above the city tower, Liu Bei gritted his teeth and sneered in his heart: "Old fox, when you cry!" ”
"Big brother, big brother!" Zhang Fei over there snorted.
"Big brother, let's go, this city can't be defended!" Liu Bei was distressed by the loss of his elite soldiers and horses, and Zhang Fei over there was also distressed.
He Zhang Fei is uneducated, a pig killer, but he Zhang Fei knows that this loss-making business can't be done.
Originally, this Tao Qian also gave 5,000 soldiers and horses, and he Zhang Fei was just excited, so he could change from a hundred generals to a thousand generals.
But after the fight in the past few days, he was about to become a bare-pole commander again, not only that, but he also got hundreds of elites into it.
How can this be justified by selling pork to give money to others.
"That Tao Qian Lao'er is really, we help him defend the city, and he doesn't give us more soldiers and horses! Don't go, don't go, big brother, let's continue to fight, this is a loss of the boss's capital! Zhang Fei said dissatisfied.
Zhang Fei really said Liu Bei's heart, but Liu Bei endured the heartache and said to Zhang Fei over there, "Third brother, this is for the country and the people, how can you use the mentality of the small people in the market!" Helping Tao Envoy Jun is to calm down the war in Xuzhou, Yanzhou, so as to protect the heritage of my Han Dynasty! How can you be careful! ”
"What the eldest brother said is extremely true! Third brother, only by quelling this war can the people of Xuzhou live and work in peace and contentment, free from the suffering of war! Guan Yu on the side also touched his beard and spoke.
Zhao Yun listened to Liu Bei's words to Zhang Fei, and couldn't help nodding secretly in his heart, this is a gentleman.
In fact, Zhao Yun didn't know that Liu Bei was unwilling, he worked hard to come to this Xuzhou, just to get a handful and leave.
But now that you are about to put the old Ben in, you let Liu Bei go now, how is he willing?
Another day's work, Liu Bei finally couldn't help it.
In the evening, Liu Bei pretended to go to patrol the city, avoided Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun, and came to a quiet place.
"Coming!?" Liu Bei asked who came.
"I don't know why Xuande Gong called me late at night?" The person who came here to have a tryst with Liu Bei was not someone else, it was our Liu Bei's good friend in Xuzhou, Mi Zhu Mi Zizhong.
Mi Zhu observed the surroundings, cautiously, there are many people on this city wall, if one accidentally reaches Tao Qian's ears, it will not be good.
"Don't worry, Zizhong! Above my north city gate, no one has been able to cross my Liu Bei to investigate! Liu Bei comforted Mi Zhu over there.
"Let Zizhong come late at night, naturally there is something important, this edition of a letter, let Zizhong send you to Cao Ying!" Saying that, Liu Bei took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Mi Zhu over there.
"Huh?" Mi Zhu's expression was puzzled at first, and then his eyes widened.
"This!" Mi Zhu didn't understand looking at Liu Bei over there, this letter was clearly written, a kind of respect for Cao Cao, the above flattery was not much to say, the rest is to inform, Cao Cao over there, this north city gate, he Liu Bei guarded, when Liu Bei changed the guard, let Cao Cao Xiu attack, above other times, you Cao Cao attacked the north city gate, he Liu Bei will not help Tao Qian's army, in order to show sincerity, this Liu Bei also took out the defense of Pengcheng over there, and told Cao Cao that the city defense was weak, And when did they change their guards?
"Xuande Gong? What if this Pengcheng is broken? It's not good for you and me to be Xuande Gong! "This is simply collusion with Cao Cao. Mi Zhu looked at Liu Bei with wide eyes.
Mi Zhu is different from Chen Deng's Chen family, Chen Deng's Chen family is a Dashi family, even if Lao Tao is eliminated, Cao Cao can't do anything to the Chen family, and even depends on the Chen family, because the Chen family has a deep foundation, it can be said that it is all over half of Xuzhou, even above the court, there are protégés of the Chen family.
Therefore, in order to polish the hearts of the people of Xuzhou and the hearts of the Heshi clan, Cao Cao will not treat the Chen family badly even if he does not reuse the Chen family.
And he Mi Zhu is different, the scenery on the surface, don't drive Xuzhou. But this don't drive is looked down upon by many people in Xuzhou, why! That is, he Mizhu is not a scholar, but a merchant, a merchant of Shinong and Commerce, and is the lowest level of businessman.
If Lao Cao breaks into Pengcheng, killing Mi Zhu will be the same as playing. What's more, it is not the same as the Chen family, Ming Ze is alive, and the Mi family was once tied to Tao Qian's chariot, and helping Tao Qian offended Cao Cao a lot.
How could Cao Cao spare him lightly?
Mi Zhu is now following Liu Bei, but this is also under the premise of helping Xuzhou, and the common enemy is still Cao Cao.
Liu Bei glanced at Mi Zhu more, knowing that this Mi Zhu Mi Zizhong had not been able to help him wholeheartedly, but the trickle was long, and there was always a moment for him to surrender, "Zizhong!" How can I harm you! With Cao Cao's defense map, it won't be all true! ”
What is the most difficult lie to see, that is, eight percent true, two percent false, in key places so that you can't guess.
If this Cao Cao believes all the defense maps given by Liu Bei, then Cao Cao will be unlucky, and if Cao Cao believes half of it, then Tao Qian will be unlucky.
"Then Xuande Gong, what do you mean by no longer helping Peng Cheng?" Mi Zhu asked suspiciously.
"Tao Qian, do you really think you can call us and go immediately! Since I want it, he Tao Qian is not willing to give me the military power city, so I will ask him to beg to send it to me! Liu Bei's eyes narrowed, exuding a traitorous essence.
"Yes!" Mi Zhu couldn't help but slap a chill, Cao Cao outside the city is a tiger, so this Liu Bei is a hungry wolf.
This Xuzhou is difficult! There are tigers before and after, and hungry wolves behind them.
Even Mi Zhu couldn't help but sigh for Tao Qian.
