The yellow horse's hair under the crotch was stained with red blood, and the whole horse was dyed red.

The green robe on Guan Yu's body was also soaked in blood, glowing with black and bright color.

Hundreds of soldiers in untidy armor and dragging blades followed closely behind Guan Yu, desperately fleeing in the direction of Xiao Pei.

Behind them was the Qingzhou Army, which was overwhelmed by the darkness and had no end in sight.

The Qingzhou army, like a tide, shouted that hundreds of Liu Beijun soldiers led by Guan Yu swept over.

Some timid soldiers of Liu Beijun were paralyzed by fright on the way to escape, and they had already fallen to the ground and were stabbed into a hornet's nest by the Qingzhou army that followed.

The hundreds of soldiers who followed Guan Yu were quite good in psychological quality.

When they fled, they didn't look back at the Qingzhou Army following behind them.

Chasing Guan Yu and others, the archers of the Qingzhou Army ran while putting arrows on the bowstring and constantly shooting feather arrows forward.

One by one, Liu Beijun was shot by feather arrows flying from behind and fell to the ground.

The Qingzhou army chasing them, regardless of whether they died after falling to the ground, just blindly chased forward.

Many of the Qingzhou Army's footboards stepped on the soldiers of Liu Beijun who fell to the ground, and those Liu Beijun who had died after being shot by arrows suffered less.

As for the soldiers of Liu Beijun who did not die for a while after falling to the ground, they endured the trampling of the Qingzhou army and became desolate and became meat in the wilderness.

With hundreds of remnants of soldiers, Guan Yu fled all the way to the city of Xiaopei, and shouted to the city: "Quickly open the door and let someone enter the city!" ”

When the soldiers at the head of the city saw that it was Guan Yu, who was covered in blood, they didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly opened the city gate.

As soon as a gap opened in the city gate, Guan Yu clamped his legs the horse's belly, and rode the horse into the city.

The hundreds of remnants who followed behind Guan Yu also poured into the city.

When the last soldier entered the city, the soldiers guarding the city gate hurriedly closed the gate again.

Not long after the city gate was closed, the Qingzhou army that followed had also arrived at Xiaopei City under the leadership of Sun Guan and others.

At the head of Xiaopei City, Liu Bei pressed his hands on the battlements, looking at the Qingzhou army that had been forced to the city and was pressed by the black.

Guan Yu, who was covered in blood, ran up the city wall, wiped the blood on his face, and said to Liu Bei, who was looking outside the city: "Big brother, 100,000 Qingzhou thief army, and 3,000 soldiers and horses of the younger brother, it is really difficult to match. ”

"Second brother has worked hard!" Hearing Guan Yu speak, Liu Bei turned around, took his hands, and said to him: "There are not even more than 10,000 soldiers and horses in the city, how can our army defend the city?" ”

"Wait for someone to go out of the city and fight the thief army!" Seeing Liu Bei's embarrassment and worry, Zhang Fei on the side puffed up his chest and said to Liu Bei: "Give a certain 2,000 soldiers and horses, and whether you can retreat from the enemy or not, let's make a fuss!" ”

As he spoke, Zhang Fei turned his head and was about to walk down the city.

Liu Bei hurriedly shouted to him: "Third brother, slow down!" ”

Hearing Liu Bei's shout, Zhang Fei stopped, turned his head to look at Liu Bei, and asked him, "What did the eldest brother do?" ”

"The thief army is strong, and there is no chance of winning when you get out of the city!" Turning his head to look at Zhang Fei, Liu Bei said to him: "Xiaopei is surrounded, Wen Houzi will come to relieve the siege......"

"Wait! Warm! Liu Bei mentioned Lu Bu, Zhang Fei clenched his fist in his right hand, punched his left palm, and said to Liu Bei: "If the eldest brother didn't believe in the three family slaves, how could he lose Xuzhou......"

"Third brother!" Before Zhang Fei's words were finished, Guan Yu yelled at him: "Don't be rude to the eldest brother!" ”

After being shouted by Guan Yu, Zhang Fei tilted his head to the side, sighed, looked indignant, and was speechless for a long time.

"Big-eared kid!" Just when the brothers were almost desperate, Sun Guan's shouting and scolding came from the city: "I will come to borrow food, and you will retreat into the city, what is the reason?" If we want to retreat, we only need to send 10,000 truckloads of grain and grass, and we will retreat on our own! ”

"The general laughed!" Hearing Sun Guan's shout, Liu Bei walked to the battlements, held the battlements with his hands, and shouted to Sun Guan: "There is also a shortage of food in the city, and the soldiers and people in the city are already hungry, how can there be surplus food to send to the generals......"

"If so, there is nothing to say!" Liu Bei was planning to bargain with Sun Guan to see if he could exchange a small amount of grain and grass for Sun Guan's retreat, but he didn't think that Sun Guan would not give him a chance to finish his words, so he arched his fist at him and said: "If you don't want to hand over the grain and grass, I have to take it myself!" Tomorrow at noon, I'll come and attack the city! ”

As he spoke, Sun Guan had already turned around his horse and turned his head to return to the array of the Qingzhou Army.

Liu Bei was about to summon Sun Guan, but Guan Yu on the side hurriedly said to him: "Big brother, don't send grain and grass to the thief army." ”

"The thief army just wants food, I'll discuss with them, give less, and they can retreat!" Looking out of the city with a worried face, Liu Bei said to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei: "Although the two virtuous brothers are martial arts, the thief army is powerful, and our army is difficult to match!" ”

"Big brother must be confused!" Before Liu Bei's words fell, Zhang Fei muttered: "The thief army got the grain and grass, and threw the grain and grass to the rear army." Tens of thousands of truckloads of grain and grass besieged the city, even if it was besieged for March and May, the thief army was hungry. But the grain and grass in the city are delivered, how many days can I wait? ”

Being reminded by Zhang Fei, Liu Bei suddenly realized, sighed, and said to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei: "Heaven will leave me!" When our army could not hold the city, the two virtuous brothers broke through and left. The king of Luoyang has now been crowned the king of Qin, and the last time I waited for Luoyang, I saw that he had a good impression of the two virtuous brothers......"

"How can the eldest brother talk nonsense?" Before Liu Bei finished speaking, Guan Yu said to him with some annoyance: "My brothers, when Taoyuan was righteous, we once said that we are brothers for one day and brothers for life. Today's great enemy is coming, and the eldest brother actually said such things, doesn't he look down on a certain and third brother? ”

"Since the wedding of King Qin, the eldest brother went to Luoyang, and he is confused!" As soon as Guan Yu's words fell, Zhang Fei said, "What about the 100,000 troops outside the city?" Let them attack the city, and they can break Xiaopei in a day or two? 100,000 people were stationed outside the city, and they consumed a lot of food and grass every day. The Qingzhou thief army rebelled against the Cao thief, and just went to Xuzhou, and there won't be too much grain in stock! ”

was counted down by Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and Liu Bei didn't refute it, but just sighed for a long time.

The Qingzhou army besieged Xiaopei, and Lu Bu in Xuzhou City soon got the news.

Luoyang has already sent the first batch of war horses, and the follow-up war horses will also be delivered in the next few months.

Originally, he was counting on the last batch of war horses as an introduction to the opposite of Liu Bei, but he didn't expect that the Qingzhou army recruited by Cao Cao would go south to Xuzhou at this time.

In the front hall of the Xuzhou official mansion, Lu Bu and Chen Gong sat facing each other, in addition to the two of them, there were also Lu Bu's generals such as Wei Xu and Cao Xing in the hall.

"The Qingzhou thief army stirred up trouble in Yanzhou, and now it has rebelled against Cao Cao and entered Xuzhou." Although the words were said to everyone in the hall, Lu Bu's eyes stared at Chen Gong without blinking and said, "Xiao Pei is surrounded, and it is difficult to send even a messenger. If it continues like this for a long time, Xiao Pei will definitely be broken by the Qingzhou thief army. I summoned you to come here today, just to ask you to wait, how can this Xiaopei be rescued? ”

"Why did Wen Hou go to rescue Xiao Pei?" As soon as Lu Bu's words fell, Chen Gong had a smile on the corner of his mouth, and asked him softly: "Then Liu Bei is treacherous, if Wen Hou can save him, aren't you afraid that he will bite Wen Hou back in the future?" ”

"It is much better to save Liu Bei than to fight Cao Cao in the future." Looking at Chen Gong, Lu Bu frowned slightly, and said to Chen Gong: "If our army does not rescue Xiao Pei, I am afraid that Cao Cao will use the excuse of exterminating the Qingzhou army in the near future and lead the army into Xuzhou." Once Cao Cao comes, the water in Xuzhou may be mixed. ”

"What Wen Hou said is very true!" When Lu Bu said this, Chen Gong nodded appreciatively and said to him: "After saving Liu Bei and expelling the Qingzhou army from the Xuzhou boundary, Cao Cao will have no reason to enter Xuzhou." It's just that Wen Hou has ever thought about it, the number of Qingzhou troops is more than 100,000, and my Xuzhou soldiers and horses are only more than 20,000, how can I match the Qingzhou army? ”

"This is exactly the purpose of inviting a public station to come to discuss!" Lu Bu was not secretive, when Chen Gong asked him how to fight the Qingzhou army, he said to Chen Gong: "Gongtai is very admirable, and there must be a good way to break the enemy!" ”

"The Qingzhou thief army rebelled in the Yanzhou area, I'm afraid it's just Cao Cao making a cover!" Brushing the beard on his chin with one hand, Chen Gong nodded slightly, and said to Lu Bu: "If Wen Hou does not attack the Qingzhou thief army, but unites with Yuan Shu and approaches Xuchang, then Cao Cao will definitely return to the army to save himself, and if he wants to come to the siege outside Xiaopei City, he will not save himself!" ”

"Right now, Yuan Shu is plotting to become the emperor, and he regrets marrying him!" Tightly frowning, Lu Bu pondered for a moment before saying to Chen Gong: "We are Hanchen, and the battle with Cao Cao is also a war between Hanchen. But if Yuan Shu is called the emperor, he is a rebel and thief, and he does not share the sky, how can he fight Xuchang with him? ”

"If Wen Hou doesn't want to do this, there is another plan!" It may have been expected that Lu Bu was unwilling to unite with Yuan Shu, Chen Gong smiled slightly, and then said to Lu Bu: "Wen Hou can order someone to go to Huainan and inform Yuan Shu that Cao Cao's army has entered Xuzhou, Xuchang is empty, and Yuan Shu can take this opportunity to enter Xuchang!" ”

"A certain person informed, how can Yuan Shu be willing to comply!" Frowning slightly, Lu Bu said to Chen Gong: "What's more, in this way, there is a lot of delay, and I am worried that Liu Xuande will not be able to keep Xiaopei ......"

"Xiao Pei, Wen Hou doesn't have to worry about it!" Speaking of Liu Bei, Chen Gong smiled slightly and said to Lu Bu: "In Xiaopei City, there are nearly 10,000 garrisons, and Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are brave!" Liu Xuande has not snatched Xuzhou with Wen Hou for a long time, not because he doesn't want to, but because his strength is not good at the moment. He is gathering strength to wait for a decisive battle with Wen Hou in Xuzhou in the coming day! If Wen Houyin went to rescue him, but instead lost his own troops, wouldn't it be equivalent to giving Xuzhou to Liu Xuande? ”
