Lu Bu and them, determined that Liu Bei and Cao Cao might sneak attack Xiapi.

Now he directly gave up the advantage of attacking Yuan Shu, and had to retreat and kill back, first, to save Pi, and second, to steal Xiaopei.

Xiapi Yicheng was brought back by Lu Bu's sneak attack, and he thought that Liu Bei must want to steal Xiapi back in a similar way, and he must not let Liu Bei succeed.

They retreated quickly and led their troops north, and Zhang Xun's pressure directly decreased.

When Zhang Xun learned the news of Lu Bu's retreat, he stopped running away, and immediately led his troops to Suiling and Xuyi to fight back, and had a stalemate with the people left behind by Lu Bu, and at the same time asked people to send the news back to Yuan Shu.

After the analysis of Yan Xiang and others, it was unanimously agreed that something should have happened to Xiapi, and Lu Bu had to retreat, and now he could launch a full-scale counterattack.

Just when Yuan Shu was about to fight back in an all-out way, he got another piece of news that made him feel bad news.

Zu Lang, the leader of Shanyue, was captured alive by Sun Ce, and those Shanyue people turned against Sun Ce one after another, and Sun Ce in the south was also calling in the direction of Huainan, and Liu Biao also had the idea of sending troops.

Yuan Shu had to concentrate his forces to deal with Sun Ce and Liu Biao, and let Lü Bu go.

Fortunately, Cao Cao's side has not yet entered Huainan with all his might, so the pressure on Yuan Shu is not so great.

I can still bear it.

At this time, Cao Cao continued to use the pulling strategy, and Yuan Shu slowly consumed.

Near Yoshisei, the fight was not too intense.

At the same time, all kinds of news were summarized to Cao Ying one after another.

"Lu Bu has withdrawn his troops."

Cao Cao got the latest news, and immediately gathered Chen Zhou and the three of them together, and said excitedly: "The plan to cross is going quite smoothly, haha......"

Then Xuzhou is basically what he has in his pocket.

"According to Lu Bu's speed, as soon as tomorrow, Liu Bei should be able to get the news that Xiao Pei was defeated."

Guo Jia analyzed: "Liu Bei should be very embarrassed at that time. ”

"Win over Liu Bei to join forces to fight Lu Bu, and at the same time be able to contend with Yuan Shu."

Jia Xu admired: "Duzhi's plan couldn't be more perfect, it is closely linked, and everything that can be calculated is calculated." At the same time, we can use the name of righteousness to help Liu Bei defeat Pi, take the opportunity to get Xiapi in hand, and then slowly wash away the adverse effects of the original slaughter of the city. ”

Chen Zhou said modestly: "It's just a coincidence, it happened to be successful." ”

"It's not a coincidence!"

Cao Cao saw that Chen Zhou was still modest, and thought to himself that he really deserved to be a man of high wind and bright festivals.

Do not take credit, nor invite credit.

It's so nice to cross!

"My lord."

At this moment, Xu Chu came in and said, "Liu Bei asks to see him." ”

As soon as they mentioned Liu Bei, Liu Bei came.

"Please!"

Cao Cao said.

After a while, Liu Bei walked into the tent and saw that Chen Zhou and the others were there, so he first bowed and said, "Cao Sikong, we have been here in Yicheng for a while, when will we fully enter Huainan and crusade against the traitors?" ”

His plan was to follow Cao Cao to fight Yuan Shu.

Cao Cao is the main force, Liu Bei assists him, once he has the advantage, he will break away from Cao Cao and occupy Yuan Shu's territory.

Now Cao Cao fought a few battles with Li Feng and others without pain, delaying time very much, which made Liu Bei a little anxious, but Liu Bei didn't dare to enter it by himself, knowing that he couldn't beat Yuan Shu and had to rely on Cao Cao.

In addition, he got the news that Lu Bu defeated Yuan Shu's generals not long ago.

He was also worried that Lu Bu was too fierce and seized too many advantages, and when he entered Huainan, he would not even be able to drink a sip of soup.

"Xuande, I know you're anxious, but I'm also anxious!"

Cao Cao had already thought of his rhetoric and explained: "Yuan Shu has half of the resources of the Yuan family, and on the premise of finding out the strength of Yuan Shu's current strength, he rashly led his troops into Huainan, which was not conducive to the battle, but it was ......."

He recalled what he had just discussed, as well as the speed at which Lu Bu was heading north, and continued: "We have discussed, and the day after tomorrow, we will send troops to Huainan in an all-round way, but it is too late to inform you." ”

"It's me who is in a hurry."

Liu Bei still can't get the news that Lu Bu has withdrawn from the army.

His news channel is far less smooth than Cao Cao's, and he is not deliberately investigating Lu Bu's movements, so he doesn't know anything now, so he can rest assured: "When the time comes, I am willing to lead the second and third brothers to kill Yuan Shu's rebel thief as Cao Sikong's vanguard." ”

"Good!"

Cao Cao shouted: "I didn't expect that after the Tiger Prison Pass, I could still see the demeanor of the three Xuande brothers." ”

When it came to the matter of the Tiger Prison Pass, Liu Bei was very proud, it was the highlight moment of the three of them, and said: "Since Cao Sikong is preparing for a full-scale attack, then I have to go back and prepare." ”

Liu Bei soon left.

Still leaving with hope, I didn't think at all, there was a bureau waiting for me.

——

Gao Shun returned to Xiapi from Suiling, and the distance was relatively close.

Compared to Lu Bu's sneak attack on Xiao Pei, it is much closer.

Therefore, when Gao Shun returned to Xiapi, Lu Bu was still on his way to Xiaopei on horseback.

Seeing that the Xiapi City Tower was safe and sound, Gao Shun breathed a sigh of relief for the time being.

"General Zang, what's the situation?"

Gao Shun asked.

"The troop that suddenly appeared, standing still at the moment, seems to be waiting for something."

Zang Ba said: "The army that can bypass Pengcheng and appear here must be Cao Cao's soldiers, but there is Liu Bei's military flag in the army." ”

Except for Cao Cao and Liu Bei joining forces, near Xuzhou, there is no second person who can take out so many soldiers and approach the vicinity of Xiapi.

"We intercepted a secret letter, Liu Bei and Cao Cao together, ready to attack our Xiapi, fortunately the secret letter intercepted in time enough, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable."

Gao Shun said.

"Really?"

Zang Ba asked in surprise, he didn't know about the secret letter yet.

Gao Shun nodded slightly, and then said, "I want to go out and meet Cao Jun outside for a while." ”

Next, he led his trapping camp, as well as a thousand Pi guards, according to the position pointed out by Zang Ba, to kill the troops outside the city.

Xu Huang and Li Dian are not far from Xiapi.

As soon as Gao Shun returned, they got the news from the scouts and concluded that Gao Shun, who had returned, would definitely come to test them.

Sure enough.

As soon as the whole army was integrated, the scouts came to report again, and Gao Shun led his troops to approach them.

"Prepare for battle."

Li Dian shouted.

The two of them quickly gathered the soldiers and horses.

As soon as everything was ready, I saw that Gao Shun led an army of less than 2,000 people, and he dared to kill their 5,000 people.

The number of the trap camp was 1,000 people, but in fact there were only more than 800 people.

But they were well equipped and armored.

Gao Shun dared to use less than 2,000 people to harden Li Dian and their 5,000 people, and the advantage was above the trapping camp.

The two sides are getting closer.

War is on the verge of breaking out.

The combat power of the trapped camp terror broke out like this.

Xu Huang and Li Dian fought back for a while, and found that if they continued to fight, even if they could win, the damage would definitely not be light.

"Retreat!"

Xu Huang followed Chen Zhou's instructions, and when he reached this point, he couldn't fight anymore and had to preserve his strength.

"Retreat!"

Li Dian heard Xu Huang's shout, and he also understood that he couldn't fight.

They arranged for archers to shoot at Gao Shun, and then prepared for the break, and quickly led their troops to retreat to the north of Pengcheng.

Five thousand people, fought for a while, and lost nearly five hundred.

It can be seen how ferocious the trapped camp is.
