Under Xiaopei City, Cao's army pressed the border.

I saw that above this city, there was a burly man with a strong physique holding a Fang Tian painting halberd, wearing a beast-faced head swallowing chain armor, wearing a Xichuan red brocade and hundred flowers robe, and carrying an eight-armed divine power bow, which was the unparalleled Lu Bu in the world.

Looking at the dense Black Tide army below, as if he was going to crush this Xiao Pei, Lu Bu did not have any fear, and directly provoked loudly on the city wall.

"Cao Mengde, you are a step too late, Xiao Pei has been attacked by General Ben, haha!"

In this Lu Bu's heart, he felt that Cao Cao's courage to attack Xuzhou was due to the alliance with Liu Bei.

Now that Liu Bei has been defeated by himself, Cao Cao's 50,000 army wants to attack Xiaopei, which is garrisoned by 30,000 troops, which is tantamount to a fool's dream.

That's why his words are so arrogant above the city.

Cao Cao looked at the arrogant and domineering old opponent on the city wall, and at this time he also showed a sneer, and under his order, the army immediately blocked Xiao Pei.

Looking at him like this, it seems that he intends to trap the entire Xiaopei in it and let the defenders in the city take the initiative to come out by cutting off food.

And the reason why he made such a decision was precisely because he learned the specific situation in Xiaopei City from Liu Bei's mouth.

With the food in Xiaopei City, it was only enough for half a month under his command, which was originally less than 10,000 people, and Lu Bu led the army to attack Xiaopei lightly, so naturally he would not bring too much grain and grass.

And after attacking Xiao Pei, the grain and grass have not been replenished, Cao Cao is confident that as long as he surrounds this Xiao Pei for more than ten days, Lu Bu will definitely not be able to bear the temperament and take the initiative to kill!

There were 50,000 troops, and after dividing a lot of troops and starting to garrison at the front and back gates of Xiaopei, they immediately began to set up camp and build a rejection horse.

On the city wall, Lu Bu watched the thousands of miles rushing in, but when he arrived at the city, it was the unhurried Cao Jun, and his eyes were quite sharp at this time.

"It seems that Cao Jun already knows that there is no food in my city, waiting for us to take the initiative to kill it!"

Looking at the movements of this Cao Jun, Lu Bu naturally guessed what the other party was thinking, but he was disdainful of this Cao Cao's plan.

"Humph! This Cao Cao's army is only 50,000, how can it trap my 30,000 army, as long as the rear grain supply comes, this general personally leads the troops to kill, and he will definitely be able to break through a bloody road and escort the grain and grass over! ”

Lu Bu has unparalleled courage in the world, so he is naturally not afraid of this Cao Cao's siege, and he has already made plans even before that.

It's just that after he said this, Chen Gong on the side also showed some doubts.

"It stands to reason that the grain and grass transported by Xiapi should arrive in Xiaopei in two days, and the first spies should come to the city today, why don't you see anyone for a long time!"

Chen Gong, as Lu Bu's important strategist, in addition to planning major military affairs, the use of grain and grass in the city, as well as rewards and punishments, were all handled by him.

It is precisely because of this that at this time, after not seeing the first spies for a long time, I can't help but start worrying.

Could it be that the spies sent by Chen Gui in the rear were caught by Cao Cao?

If this is the case, it is very likely that the troops and horses in the rear transporting grain and grass will also be in danger.

Listening to Chen Gong's worries, Lu Bu's face also showed a bit of solemnity, and he obviously saw the importance of this matter.

"Gongtai means...... It's very likely that this Cao Cao already knows about our marching food routes? ”

The confrontation between the two armies is a question of which of the two sides has a problem first.

Although the current battle situation is in Xuzhou, Lu Bu does not carry too much grain and grass, although it can be replenished from Xiapi, but if the grain route for this replenishment is cut off, then his army of 30,000 will not be able to control it anymore.

Seeing that Lu Bu seemed to be also influenced by himself, Chen Gong also knew that at this time of confrontation, he should not mention these things that might affect the morale of the army, so he immediately comforted him.

"Don't worry first, it may be that the spies in the rear can't come in for a while because Xiaopei is surrounded, let's see in two days, if the grain and grass are really delivered, everything will be as usual." If you don't have any food or grass, then make other plans! ”

Hearing Chen Gongdu say this, Lu Bu couldn't say anything more, and was temporarily relieved.

……

In the rear of Xiaopei, Xiahou led an army of 15,000 to garrison.

Around this tent, there were already many horses to resist at this time, and if they faced the cavalry rushing forward, they would not be afraid.

Not far from this Xiahoudun military tent, there is another military tent, although it is with Xiahoudun's army, but the good and bad soldiers seem out of place, this is Cao Ang's camp.

At this time, Cao Ang was in his tent, and he was discussing with Guo Jia and Liu Guanzhang how to attack Xiaopei.

"Meng De, is this the defense map in Xiaopei City?"

Looking at the map in front of him, Cao Ang's eyes also showed a little joy and excitement, just because having this map at this time was too important for him to attack Xiao Pei!

On this map, the various roads in Xiaopei City are clearly outlined.

Where Xiaopei needs to be protected, where can be defended by taking advantage of the terrain, what road the infantry takes from the front gate to the back door, and what road the cavalry takes are all recorded on it.

And the one who handed over this map was Liu Bei, who was stationed in Xiaopei before and was later driven away by Lu Bu.

"Don't hide it, Xuande has been conceiving this picture in the past few days, although there may be omissions in some details, but there are not too many changes."

Liu Bei studied under Lu Zhi, and Gongsun Zan was a classmate, first he was favored by Tao Qian, and then he was jealous of his father, so naturally he would not be mediocre, so in just a few days, he conceived this offensive and defensive map by himself.

After getting this picture, Cao Ang was almost ecstatic, and after having someone copy one, he gave it to his father as soon as possible.

"Now that there is such an offensive and defensive plan, why worry that Xiaopei can't break it!"

Seeing that Cao Ang was overjoyed when he saw the map he had offered, Liu Bei was also quite cautious at this time, and hurriedly reminded him on the side.

"Childe, this Lu Bu has unparalleled bravery, although the prime minister said that he divided his troops to besiege the city, but he couldn't trap him, we still have to be careful, lest his army break through and form a response with the grain team in the rear!"

I have to say that Liu Bei still knows Xiao Pei very well, and he can guess clearly what happened to Lu Bu at this time.

It's just that after hearing his reminder, Cao Ang immediately laughed.

"Haha! Xuande doesn't have to worry about this, even if he Lu Bu can break through, he can only wander around like a lost dog, and Xiapi will not send him grain and grass! ”

As soon as he said that, Liu Bei was shocked.
