In a water village in Panyang Lake.

A large number of warships docked in the water village. Countless soldiers were urged by the officers to embark on the warship.

There are many flags on these warships, but the most eye-catching are the two flags of "Cheng" and "Zhou". Tell the world that the commander of this army, Cheng Pu is the positive, and Zhou Tai is the deputy.

Cheng Pu and Zhou Tai were wearing armor, and the gods were a little dignified.

Cheng Pu received a follow-up order from Sun Quan three days ago, ordering him to lead Zhou Tai and go north to rescue Liu Bei.

"This trip is a bit difficult, especially the spies, you must not make a mistake" otherwise Liu Bei will not be able to save it. Zhou Tai sighed and said.

Zhou Taisheng's general physique and murderous face. But if outsiders think that he is just a reckless man, it is a big mistake, and the generals who have risen in the Three Kingdoms are generally a little inky.

Zhou Tai is also good at reading. He also has some judgment on the situation.

"Don't worry, the spies I sent are all jīng rui, even if they are captured by Cao Jun, they will not speak." Cheng Pu smiled at Zhou Tai, patted Zhou Tai's shoulder, and said.

"It's not okay if you don't open your mouth, you have to get the news into the city smoothly." Zhou Tai's god was still a little worried, but it was also a lot more soothing.

Three days ago, when Cheng Pu received news from Sun Quan. calculated the time and ordered the spies to enter Calcium City" The purpose is to allow Liu Bei to break through.

Head north into the Xiangjiang River. They will meet in Xiangjiang, and the plan is simple, but the key is whether the spies can reach Calcium City.

"It's useless to worry, when you get to Calcium City, you will naturally see it at a glance." Cheng Pu said with a smile, at this moment, "A general came to report, saying that the soldiers were ready and ready to go."

"Order, lift the anchor and pull out." Cheng Pu immediately collected the smile on his face, "ordered."

is worthy of being a veteran, when Cheng Pu got serious, he exuded a capable atmosphere all over his body.

"No." Zhou Tai responded and immediately followed on the boat.

A moment later, hundreds of large ships came out of Panyang Lake to "swim upstream" to rescue Liu Bei.

………………

Calcium City. A remnant sun.

Cao Cào's 150,000-strong army has been besieging Calcium City for more than a month. With the determination to eliminate Liu Bei in one fell swoop, Cao Cào ordered a fierce attack. The casualties on both sides were heavy.

There was blood everywhere inside and outside the city. The whole body was disposed of, but there were still some stumps and severed arms.

It's already chūn day, and it's time for everything to come back to life," and the temperature has warmed up a bit. There was a smell of blood and rot in the air.

Under the remnant sun, Liu Bei led a group of officials to inspect the city wall. With each step, Liu Bei's face became more bitter. It's been more than a month, and under normal circumstances, this more than one month is fleeting, but Liu Bei feels like a year.

One month. The gray hair on Liu Bei's head increased sharply, almost to the point of black and white. The description is also very haggard.

Cao's army is worthy of being the Central Plains, and under the onslaught of more than a month, "Liu Bei paid a considerable price" The 40,000 army that was put together at the beginning was only 20,000 people.

Half of them were also injured.

On the contrary, Cao's losses may have been as low as 5,000 men, perhaps even less. The besieging side suffered fewer casualties than the defending side", which largely proves the jīng sharpness of Cao's army.

Now Liu Bei is scolding Liu Feng and Sun Quan almost every day, since there is a consensus on the matter of the alliance, "Why don't you send troops."

Could it really be that they waited for him to wipe out all the jīng rui before they could go north?

At the same time, Liu Bei felt incomparable fear in his heart. Jingzhou has changed, Jingzhou has changed. Isn't he also one of the victims?

At the beginning, he was ambitious to go south to Calcium City, thinking that he could rely on Liu Feng, Sun Quan and Cao Jun to find a chance to live well. But I didn't expect it to be this mō sample.

Sitting in a trapped city" and there is no foreign aid. Bordering on despair.

If Liu Bei hadn't fought too many vicious battles in his life, he might have collapsed long ago.

The officials behind Liu Bei, "Zhuge Liang", Jian Yong, "Sun Qian, Guan Yu and others" are also heavy-faced, not inferior to Liu Bei.

These high-level people are looking forward to it, fantasizing about Liu Feng "or Sun Quan sending troops to rescue them."

It's ridiculous to say, Liu Bei's force has been in business for decades, but until now, it is inevitable to rely on external forces.

After inspecting the city wall step by step, it was already too late. Liu Bei and the ministers also returned to their respective mansions.

All of them are preoccupied, and there is no time to get together with jīng forces and talk about it.

After Liu Bei returned to the mansion, he took a look at Liu Chan and regained his mood. He lay down and slept.

In his sleep, there was a sudden sound of a rapid knock.

Liu Bei woke up violently, and his first reaction was to stretch out his hand to the sword resting beside Chuáng. These days, Liu Bei's jīng god is already extremely tense. It's reached the point where Chuáng can't sleep without putting a sharp weapon on his head.

"My lord, there is a person outside the city who claims to be a spy in the camp of General Cheng Pu under Sun Quan's account, and he asks to see him outside the city.

He has been brought up by the guards of the city. Chen Zhi's voice sounded outside the mén, Liu Bei's heart was suddenly relieved, and after breathing a sigh of relief, Liu Bei realized that his whole body was already soaked, it was a cold sweat.

"Bring that spy over, and summon Zhuge Liang, Sun Gan, Jian Yong and others to the hall." , Liu Bei quickly gave an order.

"No." After answering the call, Mén went down to pass the order.

After Chen left, Liu Bei fell into deep thought.

Cheng Pu's people, in other words, Jiangdong's people came to my rescue. Or simply the jiān sent by Cao Jun.

No matter what, Liu Feng still didn't send troops.

What exactly am I expecting? Did you really let Liu Feng send troops to rescue, and then swagger to Jiangxia? Liu Bei smiled bitterly and got down.

Naturally, there was a shìnv suit shì in the house, and the sound of Chen just now woke up the shìnv, and when Liu Bei went down to Chuáng, "The oil lamp had already been lit."

Liu Bei washed and changed his clothes under the shìnv's clothes, and "immediately walked towards the hall."

When Liu Bei arrived in the hall, a strong man dressed in coarse linen clothes and dressed as ordinary people knelt on the ground. Chen Zhi was watching from the side.

Liu Bei glanced at it and withdrew his gaze. This person may be a spy sent by Cheng Pu. The second is Cao Jun's jiān fineness.

Liu Bei planned to wait for Zhuge Liang and the others to arrive, and then ask and make a decision.

After waiting for a while, Zhuge Liang, Sun Qian, and Jian Yong arrived one after another. After they each sat down," Liu Bei asked the strong man: "You claim to be a spy under General Cheng's account, do you have a certificate?" ”

"Yes." The strong man nodded, then took a moment in his bosom and took out a piece of yellow cloth from it. It was handed to Chen Zhi.

After Chen Zhi took it, he handed the cloth to Liu Bei.

Liu Bei opened it and glanced at it, it was a letter. The general content of the letter is that Cheng Puhui will lead the fleet to reach the river of Xiangjiang in the north of Calcium City the day after tomorrow, and let Liu Bei break through to the north.

Except for the words, there was a blank on the top, and there was no seal. However, this is not what Liu Bei expected. This seal can be counterfeited. It will be an eyesore if it is printed, and it is much more credible than the "printed."

However, Liu Bei is not so simple to think that this is Cheng Pu's letter. After taking a look, it was placed on the case. He raised his head and said to Chen Zhi: "Take this strong man down to rest first." ”

"No." Chen Zhi answered, picked up the strong man and walked out.

After Chen left, Liu Bei gave the yellow cloth to Zhuge Liang and let the three of them circulate it. Only then did he ask, "What is the pity of this letter?" ”

Everyone didn't dare to judge easily, and they all sank.

In fact, Zhuge Liang's judgment is the same as Liu Bei's, he went to Jiangdong once, and knew that Sun Quan was very concerned about Liu Bei's side and wanted to send troops to rescue Liu Bei.

It's just that because Liu Feng controls the waters around Jiangxia, "he can't send troops."

Now that more than a month has passed, I believe that if Jiangdong has a heart, it should have reached some kind of consensus with Liu Feng. But this is not absolute, it may be Cao Cào's strategy.

yòu get them out of the city, so that they can get the calcium city without much effort.

"I'm 70% sure that it should be true." , Zhuge Liang sank for a moment, raised his fist and said to Liu Bei.

"Seventy percent sure? It's enough to fight, and if you wait any longer, within a month, this city will be broken. "At the critical moment of life and death", Liu Bei is very decisive. After hearing Zhuge Liang's words, he immediately said.

Immediately ordered Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others to gather their troops. But don't spread the news, and not a single hundred letters can be taken away this time. Liu Bei ordered.

"No." Zhuge Liang, Sun Qian" Jian Yong and the others responded in unison, and immediately retreated and left.

After they left, Liu Bei sat in the hall for a while. My heart was uplifted again, and as the familiar saying goes, "The immortal xiǎo is strong." Liu Bei doesn't matter if it's "or experience, it's hard to crush him all at once.

Yesterday was still a hopelessness, but now there is a slight hope" can boost his confidence. As long as you live, "there is a chance."

In the past month or so, Liu Bei has paid the price of 20,000 casualties in the battle of defending the city, "but there are always 10,000 neat soldiers who have not been used." These 10,000 soldiers plus another 10,000 guards, a total of 20,000 people, are Liu Bei's hope for breaking through.

After Liu Bei's order was issued, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and some senior generals immediately knew what to expect. Just waiting for a breakthrough in the day and night.

Soon, two days passed.

In these two days, it was like the life of more than a month, and under the fierce attack of Cao's army, the casualties in the city further expanded.

Liu Bei's remaining troops were only 17,000 left.

When the next day, after nightfall.

Liu Bei and Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and the others began to tense up. After all, there were 150,000 troops of Cao's army outside the city, and they only had 17,000 people.

Not only is there a huge difference in strength, but there is also an even greater difference in combat effectiveness.

This time to break through, the price Liu Bei has to pay must be huge. The number of people who can successfully break through may be 10,000 or only 5,000.
