"Huh? The lord has already set up a bow and arrow array and a catapult? The general exclaimed.

"Yes, I just want Liu Bei's army to know this time that we are not easy to fight in this battle." Cao Cao said coldly.

"The lord is clever!" The general complimented, "The lord should have done this a long time ago, Liu Bei has gradually mastered the army in Xuzhou City over the years, this time we can take advantage of the fact that he has not completely controlled the entire Xuzhou, annihilate his army in one fell swoop, let him know that his army is not vulnerable at all, let him understand that in the face of absolute strength, his army is like a swarm of ants, we can easily destroy them!" ”

"Yes, this time, it depends on which of us defeats whom first, I want Liu Bei to know how fragile his army is in front of me, and I want him to know that all of his things are given by me!" Cao Cao's face was full of grim expressions, "Pass the order, all the troops will start to prepare, tomorrow, we will attack together!" ”

"Yes!" The general clenched his fists in response, then turned and walked out of the tent.

"Haha!"

Cao Cao laughed wildly, "Liu Bei, Liu Bei, you finally fell into my hands." ”

This time, Liu Bei's reinforcement was expected by Cao Cao, and at the main gate, Cao Xuan would lead his troops to attack it.

Although Zhuge Liang is smart, what can he do.

Cao Cao believed that as long as he could defeat Zhuge Liang, then even if Liu Bei was to return to help, it would be useless, so this time, Cao Cao did not want to break Zhuge Liang's city, but wanted to leave all Liu Bei's troops in Xuzhou City, and then he led a large army to surround Liu Bei.

The next day, Cao Cao led an army of 50,000 to attack Xuzhou.

And Liu Bei's army has long been ready for battle.

In Liu Bei's military camp, a large sand table appeared in front of everyone's eyes, and on the sand table, the military camps of various Cao armies were drawn, and each military camp was ready to go.

Looking at the sand table in front of him, Liu Bei's face was pale, and he scolded secretly in his heart, all of this turned out to be Cao Cao's tricks, and all of this was in Cao Cao's calculations.

His calculation is to let his army be ambushed in front of his military camp, and then take advantage of the ambush of his army to annihilate them all, which is a conspiracy.

Not only Liu Bei, but the rest of the generals were also angry, but they didn't say anything, they didn't want Liu Bei to know what they were thinking.

"Lord, what shall we do?" A general asked.

Liu Bei gritted his teeth and said: "Cao Cao's tricks are too despicable, he calculates us like this, it is really hateful, we will definitely not let him get his wish, everyone, gather the army immediately, we will attack immediately and wipe out Cao Cao's army!" ”

"Whoa!" Several generals agreed in unison.

Just then, a lieutenant ran over.

"Report, lord, Cao Cao's army has launched an attack, and our army is trapped outside the city gates." The lieutenant clenched his fists and said to Liu Bei.

"What! Cao Cao's army had already launched an offensive and was still outside the city gates, how could this be? Liu Bei was surprised.

"My lord, it's true, according to the observation of his subordinates, Cao Cao's army seems to be pouring in from all directions." The lieutenant said.

"Do they have any goals for coming from all directions?" Liu Bei hurriedly asked.

The lieutenant thought for a moment and said, "As far as I know, it seems that a large army is coming from the west. ”

"West?"

"That's right, West." The lieutenant nodded.

"Damn it!" Liu Bei scolded in a low voice.

Liu Bei also thought that it was Cao Cao who was secretly playing tricks, but he couldn't figure out how Cao Cao knew that his army was outside the city, after all, their soldiers were all in the barracks.

"My lord, what should I do now? There's no way our army can hold the gates! One of the generals said worriedly.

Liu Bei frowned, pondered for a long time, and said: "Since Cao Cao wants to play yin, then we don't have to be polite, let everyone act according to the original plan, and defeat the enemy's army first!" ”

"No!" Several generals responded in unison.

"Okay, let's disperse first, let's leave tomorrow morning, don't miss the time to go out." Liu Bei waved his hand.

Several of the generals retreated.

Liu Bei sat down and rested for a while, thinking in his heart that if Cao Cao did not break through their military camp tomorrow night, then Cao Cao would continue to attack, and at that time, his own army would probably be in danger, so it was necessary to speed up the pace of the army's departure now.

Thinking of this, Liu Bei stood up and came to the edge of the map in the barracks.

On the map, he saw that on the southeast side of him, there was a relatively remote place, there was a barren plain, that plain was about ten miles away from Liu Bei's military camp, that area was their main battlefield, they had to occupy that place, otherwise, their army would be attacked by the enemy, and then they would fall into a heavy encirclement.

"Pass the order, immediately advance three thousand miles north, and I will occupy that place in the shortest possible time!" Liu Bei commanded.

"No!" A lieutenant clenched his fists and received his life.

"My lord, it will take some time for our army to arrive." Another general said worriedly.

"It doesn't matter, our soldiers have time, and we have already received news from the front line, General Zhang Fei has led 20,000 cavalry to reinforce us from the rear, and when the time comes, Cao Cao's army will suffer heavy losses, this time, I will wipe them out!" Liu Bei said confidently.

"No!" The generals answered the promise.

Outside the city, Cao Cao's army was ready to go, and as soon as Liu Bei's army left the city, they would be able to attack.

Liu Bei also knew that his army was not enough to resist Cao Cao's army, so he decided to gather all the troops together to form a powerful force.

"Lord, there are so many of us, do you want to act in batches?" One of the generals asked.

"No, we have to gather all our strength, although our army is small, but we have countless grain and grass, these grain and grass are our only hope, the stronger our army, the greater the possibility of our victory!" Liu Bei said categorically.

Everyone said yes.

At this time, a small soldier suddenly broke into the barracks in a panic.

"Report to the lord, something is wrong, our grain and grass have been burned." The little soldier shouted hurriedly.

Hearing this, all the troops immediately panicked.

"Bastard, what nonsense are you talking about, how can our grain and grass be burned in warehouses?" The general shouted.
