Tan County, also known as Tancheng, is a very large ancient city, and it is also the seat of Donghai County in Xuzhou.

This time the Cao army was menacing, approaching the city, Tao Qian had no choice but to face the battle, the city and the city, a bloody battle, fortunately the Qingzhou army came to the aid in time, so that the Cao army suffered from the enemy, and had to retreat.

The Qingzhou army is basically Tian Kai's soldiers, and can only be stationed outside Tancheng, and the only 8,000 plain soldiers under Liu Bei's command are on the left side of the Qingzhou military camp, and the army is strict, in the military tent of the Chinese army, Liu Bei took off his armor and knelt in the first place, his eyes looked very deep, and his face was very dignified.

In the military tent, in addition to Liu Bei, there are four people, the black-faced Zhang Fei and the red-faced Guan Yu, the two sworn brothers, sit on his left hand, and on his right hand side are two young scholars, one with a somewhat thin face and a tall body, this person's name is Jian Yong, the word Xianhe, and the other is of medium stature, handsome, named Sun Qian, and the word Gongyou.

These two are his only advisers at present, Jian Yong is his young friend, who has followed him in the southern and northern wars a few years ago, and Sun Qian took refuge in him when he rescued Qingzhou.

These two people are actually his team, and this time he rescued Xuzhou, which was a good opportunity for him, so he gave up his plain country and went south with all his might, and he wanted to take a piece of his own territory in Xuzhou.

This time Tao Qian sent someone to Qingzhou for help, Tian Kai was reluctant to send troops, after all, Tian Kai did not sit firmly in Qingzhou, and Qingzhou is now also facing the threat of Jizhou Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao has sent his eldest son Yuan Tan to Qingzhou to assassinate the history, and will send troops soon, once the troops are dispatched, the Qingzhou base camp may be breached.

It was because of Liu Bei's persuasion that Tian Kai was willing to send troops, Tian Kai was a general under Gongsun Zhan, and Gongsun Zhan was not defenseless against Liu Bei's classmate, and Tian Kai naturally believed in him.

Liu Bei naturally has Liu Bei's abacus, in today's troubled times, the princes of all parties hold heavy troops, reproduce the situation of Qin lost his deer four hundred years ago, one by one with the title of the Han family, secretly fighting for hegemony in the world, he Liu Bei is also ambitious, Qingzhou has Tian Kai, anti-Tian Kai is anti-Gongsun Zhan, how Gongsun Chan treats him, everyone in the world knows, if it is anti-Gongsun Zhan, his reputation is not guaranteed.

Now that he has no strength, if he doesn't even have a reputation that he saved from pacifying the Yellow Turban and the Kwantung Alliance in the past, he will be completely useless.

So in Qingzhou, he definitely can't get ahead, the Kwantung Alliance has been in the past for so long, and the princes of one side have already established their own territories, and he is already a little impatient to seize a piece of territory, but it has been difficult to do so.

Although Tao Qian sits in Xuzhou, he is now in his sixties, old and lacks energy, and Xuzhou is a rich place, no one has been able to provoke the beam, and there is no place more suitable for him Liu Bei than this place, so he must gain Tao Qian's trust and gain a firm foothold in Xuzhou.

In this battle of Donghai County, the danger of Tancheng that he solved in time, and the trust of Tao Qian that he had obtained, especially after the strength of the two brothers Zhang Fei and Guan Yu and the Han family that he boasted of, Tao Qian became more and more attentive, knowing that there were only 8,000 people under his command, and he handed over the 5,000 Danyang elite soldiers in his hands to him, which was a great trust.

With these five thousand Danyang elite soldiers, Liu Bei's strength is naturally on the next level.

However, Liu Bei knew that if he wanted to gain a firm foothold in Xuzhou, it was not enough to have Tao Qian's trust, after all, Tao Qian himself was now difficult to protect, and the first step was to drive away Cao Cao and keep Xuzhou, otherwise it would be a bamboo basket to draw water.

Cao's army is powerful, and hundreds of thousands of elite troops are still nailed to the north and west sides of Xuzhou.

Although the battle in the East China Sea was preserved, Tancheng was saved, but the recent battle report of Xiapi came, and the general of Cao Jun had already led his troops to break through Xiapi's considerations, Xiaqiu, and Suiling, most of the entire Xiapi region had been broken by Cao's army, and Xuzhou was even more precarious.

The two tiger generals of the Cao army, Xiahou Yuan in Liangchen County and Xiahou Yuan in Siwu County, formed a line of defense between Xiapi and the East China Sea, preventing Tao Qian from returning to Xiapi, and everyone showed no worries.

At this time, Xuzhou Don't drive Mi Zhu suddenly came to the door, the Mi family is a wealthy businessman in Xuzhou, they also had contacts in the past, for Mi Zhu, Liu Bei is no stranger, and he has always wanted to win over this rich businessman in Xuzhou, but Mi Zhu was not sent by Tao Qian this time, but on behalf of the identity of Jiangdong Army, which surprised him.

Mi Zhu's behavior sued him, and Mi Zhu was already a native of Jiangdong.

……

"Ladies and gentlemen, should we agree to Jiangdongjun's invitation?" After Mi Zhu met him, he proposed a battle plan for the Jiangdong Army, Liu Bei thought about it for a long time, but he couldn't hold the idea, first, he was not sure of the Jiangdong Army's plan, and second, he didn't believe in the Jiangdong Sun family.

"Big brother, will Mi Zhu lie to us, even if the Jiangdong Army goes north, at most it will be in Guangling, why is it in the East China Sea?" Zhang Fei was an anxious person and asked a little impatiently.

Guan Yu's face was like a heavy jujube, his expression was calm, and he didn't speak, but there was also a trace of doubt in his eyes.

"Probably not!"

Liu Bei pondered for a moment, shook his head, and then said: "Mi Zhu and we have no grievances, there is no need to deceive us, in the East China Sea, there must be a Jiangdong army, and it is also elite, so they are sure, as for how it came about, I am afraid it is still the result of Mi Zhu's cover."

Although they said that they wanted to join forces with us to drive Cao Jun out of Xuzhou, it was just to repay the kindness of Bishui Pass in the past, but at present, they are not sure of their true purpose, the Jiangdong Sun family, not an ordinary generation. ”

"Lord, in fact, no matter what their purpose is, no matter how they came, now we are weak, this is a fact, after Tian Zhijun solved the crisis in the East China Sea, the Qingzhou army will inevitably return to Qingzhou, we want to drive the Cao army out of Xuzhou, only with the Xuzhou army and the plain soldiers under our command, it is difficult to do, the Jiangdong army can participate in it, it may not be a good thing."

Sun Qian stood up, his eyes sparkled, he looked at Liu Bei with a scorching light, bowed down, and persuaded in a low voice.

"Lord, what Gongyou said is very true, the first thing we need to do now is to drive Cao Jun out of Xuzhou, everything else can be done slowly, there is Tao Envoy Jun, Jiangdong has no influence in Xuzhou." When Jian Yong heard this, he also nodded and said respectfully.

"You're right, a certain family is confused, the first thing we do is to drive Cao Jun out of Xuzhou, and the others will drive Cao Cao out of Xuzhou, Xianhe, you go into the city immediately, go to meet Tao Envoy Jun, and find a way to persuade Tao Envoy Jun to let Xuzhou Army cooperate with us, it is best for him to personally lead the Xuzhou Army to storm Liangcheng and Siwu's Cao Army, without breaking through, just say that as long as he can attack for three days, a certain family has a way to break through the blockade of Cao Jun, return to Xiapi, and assist in the defense of Xiapi."

When Liu Bei heard this, he pondered for a moment, a glint crossed his eyes, he knew that he was thinking too much, the most important thing at the moment was Cao Cao, if he wanted to repel Cao Jun, he still had to take a risk, for the sake of Xuzhou, this risk was worth taking.

Now that Xiapi is under the offensive of Cao's army, it is already in danger, if Xiapi is not protected, Xuzhou is in danger, so Tao Qian and Liu Bei both know in their hearts that Xiapi must be protected no matter what.

"No!"

Jian Yong nodded, got up, and walked out of the military tent.

"Yun Chang, you led the Tao envoy army to give us five thousand elite Danyang soldiers to attack Fu Yang's Cao army, as long as you feint, your goal is to drag Fu Yang's Cao army, don't let them reinforce Wuyuan."

Liu Bei is a hero, not an ordinary person, since he has made up his mind, he will not hesitate, and begins to become vigorous and resolute, dispatching troops.

"No!"

Guan Yu stood up, his burly body exuded a faint air of confidence, and he bowed his hands and said, "Big brother, don't worry, I will definitely not let one of Fu Yang's Cao Jun appear in Wuyuan." ”

"Yide, you follow a certain family and go to Wuyuan."

After Cao Cao retreated from Tancheng, the Chinese army was stationed in Wuyuan.

Liu Bei's eyes bloomed with a cold light, the Jiangdong army's plan was very simple, it was nothing more than to encircle the point and send reinforcements, as long as Cao Cao was defeated, the dragons of the Cao army would be leaderless.

However, he is still a little worried, after all, he can't take Wu Yuan with this amount of troops, if Mi Zhu is speaking in the vernacular, then I'm afraid he is the one who is in danger.

"Sun Ce, a certain family believes in your grandson's family once."

Mi Zhu's representative is Sun Ce, Sun Ce is Sun Jian's eldest son, the brave young man on horseback in the past, Liu Bei is very strange to him, but now he has no choice but to take the risk of believing once.

…………………………………………

In Xuzhou in September, the sun is like fire, like an oven, baking the earth hot, and the heat is unbearable.

Donghai County, southwest of Tancheng, twenty miles away, there is a hillside, the hillside is not big, a little panicked, and there is a temple that has been abandoned for a long time.

The Jiangdong Army from Juxian County has been quietly stationed here, the overlord iron cavalry, the tiger soldiers under the car plus more than 5,000 bits and pieces of soldiers, originally more than 10,000 people on the march, it is difficult to hide their whereabouts.

However, there is Mi Zhu, Mi Zhu itself is Xuzhou don't drive, in addition to the Mi family is deeply rooted in the East China Sea, the family is big, he personally came forward to lead the army, there is no need to hide at all, as long as the flag is not released, directly and openly march.

This hillside is already the border between Pengcheng and the East China Sea, and the Jiangdong Army is stationed here, just to wait for the appearance of fighters, and this abandoned temple has become their command post.

"Pan Zhang, immediately bring scouts to figure out the terrain in this area." After camping, Sun Quan pointed to the section of the road from Wuyuan to Liangcheng on the map of Xuzhou, and said: "Remember, this section of the terrain, every river, every road, and every mountain I have to be clear. ”

"No!"

Pan Zhang immediately nodded and hurried away with the car.

"Gong Jin, are you sure that your arrangement will lure Cao Cao out? Cao Cao is a very cautious person. Sun Ce was wearing a lion king armor, a little excited, but he stared at Zhou Yu with some worry in his eyes.

In this battle, all the plans were made by Zhou Yu, and this bureau was arranged by Zhou Yu, since Liu Bei agreed to their request, the entire Xuzhou army was fighting according to Zhou Yu's arrangement.

Zhou Yu took advantage of the dispersion of Cao's army this time, and laid a game for Cao Cao in the straight line of Cao's army in Siwu, Liangcheng, Wuyuan, and Fuyang.

This game is not clever, it is to encircle the point to help.

However, at present, they have one of their biggest advantages is that Cao Cao is in the light, they are in the dark, Cao Cao knows Tao Qian's army, Liu Bei's army, so he will definitely send people to stare at their team, but he doesn't know that this elite Jiangdong army is hidden in the dark.

As long as Cao Cao is lured out, he can suddenly attack, capture the thief and the king, and kill Cao Cao in one fell swoop.

"If it is in peacetime, I'm afraid it will be a little difficult, Cao's soldiers and horses are divided into two groups, one is in Xiapi, and the other is here, these counties have a total of nearly 70,000 Cao troops stationed in these counties, and Tao Qian's current strength is only 50,000, plus Liu Bei, that is, 60,000 or 70,000 troops, even if Liangcheng and Siwu are broken, Cao Cao may not be in danger, but now Cao Cao is bent on avenging his father, and he does not have the usual calmness, as long as Tao Qian leads his troops to attack, he will definitely be fooled."

Zhou Yu was also a little excited for the first time in this kind of chaotic battlefield layout, he squinted his eyes, a confident and sharp light crossed his eyes, and he pondered for a moment before he whispered: "But what I'm most worried about now is the one next to him, this game is urgent, some are too obvious, this person will definitely be able to see through." ”

"Childe, I inquired with the Mi family's people in Wuyuan, Xi Zhicai is not in Wuyang, he went to Xiapi, and wants to take Xiapi in advance." Mi Zhu next to him suddenly whispered.

The Mi family is deeply rooted in Xuzhou, comparable to the general family, but it is not to say, although now the Mi family's industry is under the control of Mi Zhu, and it has begun to move to Jiangdong one after another, but there are many Mi family stores in every county, and it is not difficult to get some news.

"That's a little relieved."

When Zhou Yu heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief, pointed to the map, analyzed it carefully, and said: "Our only chance is that after Cao Cao heard that Tao Qian sent troops to Liangcheng, he led his troops to aid Liangcheng, how Tao Qian was his father-killing enemy, he wanted to kill Tao Qian here, and since Liu Bei promised us, he probably wanted to eliminate Cao Cao more than us, so he will definitely do his best to drag Cao Cao's troops in Wuyuan."

This valley is the road after all, and it is also our best ambush location, but it may not be the best, Cao Cao reacted, and he will inevitably escape, so we have to divide the troops into three roads, not to give Cao Cao any way to escape, the overlord iron cavalry is responsible for the attack, and the tiger warrior under the car is here to guard a road, and a certain leads the rest of the team to block his return trip. ”

"What about the troops, can you guess how many troops they have?" Sun Quan asked.

"According to the report of the Mi family spies, Wuyuan's Cao army has a maximum of 15,000 troops, and it was attacked by Liu Bei, so I am afraid that they can appear in front of us is less than 8,000." Zhou Yu was categorical.
