This day, the wind was gentle and the sun was shining, it was a beautiful sunny day. But the gates of Pengcheng in Xuzhou were closed. Many soldiers were patrolling or standing guard above and below the city. Each soldier was holding a spear or a bow and arrow in his hand tightly, with a tense look on his face. Before the battle, The tension is spreading. Speaking of which, Lu Bu is really a bit useless. It is thought that his army was inherited from Ding Yuan's lineage, and the elite soldiers of Bingzhou were connected with the grassland, so they were constantly fighting, and they were all elite goods. It is also the Tieqi of the state, and it is also for a while, and the Xiliang Iron Rider is not distinguished. And the generals under his command such as Gao Shun, Zhang Liao, Song Xian, Cao Xing and others are also brave and good at fighting, and Lu Bu is the best in the world. Led by such a brave general who is the best in the world, with Zhang Liao and other strong generals as the backbone, and with numerous elite soldiers from Bingzhou as wings, such an army is destined to dominate the world. But unfortunately, Lu Bu suffered repeated defeats. Even if a group of elite soldiers is invincible, they will become weak and unconfident after experiencing failed wars. Even before the war, there was still a bit of nervousness. The current situation of Lu Bu's army is really pitiful. This situation has been going on, even if the generals continue to patrol and improve morale, it cannot be avoided. "Although the lord said that it is no problem to survive the crisis, but." Zhang Liao was wearing golden armor and an embroidered robe on his back. He looked majestic, but there was great worry in his eyes. He looked at the soldiers around him, and then thought about how when Lu Bu boosted morale, he said that it would be no problem to survive the crisis, but he had a skeptical attitude. "Let's just live with it." In the end, Zhang Liao could only think helplessly. There is no way, the current Zhang Liao is not the strong general who can lead thousands of elite soldiers to dominate the world in later generations. He currently has only a few hundred elite soldiers under his command, and Lu Bu doesn't trust him very much. ??What can be done if a person speaks lightly? "Da da da." Just when Zhang Liao was helpless, there was a sound of horse hoofbeats from the west. Immediately afterwards, a huge army appeared on the horizon. "Liu", a handsome flag is erected high and flying in the wind, with unparalleled majesty. "Liu Bei. Liu Bei's army has arrived." "Cao Jun's vanguard has arrived." Suddenly, the soldiers on the city became nervous again, and some soldiers kept shouting. "Liu Bei." Zhang Liao raised his head and looked at the army ahead, with a somewhat complicated look in his eyes. Although this guy was defeated by his lord several times. But we are united. After failure, you can immediately feel inspired. People like Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Chen Dao will never give up. They are really a good force. Zhang Liao felt a little envious in his heart. "Hurry up and report to the lord." He was envious in his heart, but Zhang Liao still knew his position and waved his hand. He ordered. "Promise." A soldier agreed and went immediately. Soon after, Lu Bu led Chen Gong and Gao Shun. Cao Xing and other generals arrived at the north of the city. "Big-eared thief." As soon as he saw Liu Bei's flag, Lu Bu immediately gritted his teeth and was extremely angry. "My lord, Liu Bei's army has just arrived. They haven't set up camp yet, so they should lead their elite troops to fight. The only way to defeat Liu Bei is to defeat Liu Bei. As long as Liu Bei is defeated, Cao Cao's morale will be affected." Chen Gong's eyes lit up. , Jin Yan said. "Liu Bei is the vanguard and Cao Cao is the central army. They are not far apart. If I attack Liu Bei and cannot break through in time and withdraw, I will have to face a large number of Cao Cao's elite troops. This is too risky." Lu Bu shook his head and refused. "Hey." It can be said that Chen Gong came here in good spirits and returned in despair. He could only shrug his head and retreat. Lu Bu ignored Chen Gong's disappointment, but raised his arms and shouted: "The generals are listening to the order, with Yuan Shu and Zang Ba as foreign aid, and Pengcheng is a tall city. As long as we defend it, we can repel Cao's army. After Cao's army is defeated, I will have a drink with the soldiers to celebrate the victory." "Oh, oh, Marquis Wen is mighty, Marquis Wen is mighty." Lu Bu's prestige is still higher than Zhang Liao's. It is very difficult for Zhang Liao to improve his morale, but Lu Bu can do it. Although some of the soldiers were not radiant, they were a little cheered up and said that Marquis Wen was powerful. Having gained a little momentum made Zhang Liao feel refreshed and he began to look forward to the future. When the soldiers on the city shouted "Marquis Wen is mighty", below the city, Liu Bei's side kept sneering. "L¨¹ Bu thinks he is brave and powerful, and he dominates the world, but we are new here and have to establish a foothold."Although the situation was stable, he did not dare to lead his troops to fight and retreated into the city. Marquis Wen is so powerful, but he is just a weak man. "Zhang Fei said with a sneer. "Exactly, with bravery and momentum, but not daring to compete with the enemy, it is just a fierce appearance but a weak heart. "Guan Yu also nodded in agreement and said. "Liu Bei's army was defeated by Lu Bu for the second time. He was furious. He became the vanguard in the hope of fighting Lu Bu. Unexpectedly, Lu Bu actually cowered in the city. Naturally, he was particularly unhappy. ¡°Set up camp. "Liu Bei also sneered, but he didn't say anything. He waved his hand and said. "No. ¡± The generals agreed, so five thousand elite soldiers began to set up camp. Soon, a large camp was built. Not only was it well-organized inside, but it also had tall wooden walls on the outside for defense. In addition, there were many trenches outside the camp. Waiting for the fortifications. In a word, the camp is very strong, but it will take a lot of effort to capture it. Lu Bu feels that Liu Bei is not someone to be taken seriously. Besides, it would take too much effort to defeat Liu Bei. For a long time, Cao Cao's army was attracted. Fighting with Cao Cao in the wild was like throwing an egg against a stone, and the gain was not worth the loss. Therefore, Lu Bu was very dissatisfied with Chen Gong's suggestion. But now he saw Liu Bei building a large camp. , and spent a lot of effort to build many fortifications outside, but Lu Bu felt it was an eyesore and wanted to destroy them. He felt a little regretful and did not follow Chen Gong's advice. However, Lu Bu would not admit the regret in his heart. Liu Bei's camp laughed and said: "Big-eared thieves can't fight in battle, but for their own safety, they are very good at building the general's camp like a tortoise shell. It's really a tortoise." " "Hahaha. " Lu Bu's words, let's not say whether they are reasonable or not, but the domineering and contempt he showed boosted their morale. The generals burst out laughing after hearing this. "Let's go. It's already late today anyway. It's impossible to do anything more." At war. Just order the soldiers to be careful and alert. Let's go back first and recharge our batteries before fighting Cao Cao. "After a while, Lu Bu ordered. "No. "The generals made a promise to Chen Gong and followed Lu Bu down. And just after Liu Bei built the camp, the army led by Cao Cao finally arrived. The 50,000-horse infantry army was already larger than Liu Bei in terms of numbers. The army is ten times larger. Not to mention that the elite soldiers in Cao Cao's army are not comparable to Liu Bei's army. The difference is dozens of times. "If I can have this army, I will dominate the Central Plains. . "Cao Cao arrived, and Liu Bei had to lead the crowd to greet him. Looking at this soaring army, he suddenly felt very envious. "Hahaha, Xuande. " At this moment, hundreds of light cavalry appeared in Cao's army, galloping towards Liu Bei's camp. They stopped not far away, and then, a loud laugh rang out. Liu Bei took a closer look at the man who was laughing. , but it turned out that Cao Cao came in person. "Meng De. "Liu Bei's face showed a bit of kindness and he went up to greet him. "Greetings to Da Sikong. " "Meet General Zuo. " And the generals beside Liu Bei and Cao Cao, such as Guan Yu, Cao Ren and others, also saluted Liu Bei and Cao Cao respectively, and their attitudes were very respectful. After a while of greetings, we got to the point. "What is the situation in Pengcheng now? "Cao Cao asked Liu Bei. "L¨¹ Bu's appearance was fierce and his heart was weak. He didn't even have the courage to go out of the city to fight. "Liu Bei said. "L¨¹ Bu is getting worse and worse than before. I think back then he could kill Ding Yuan and Dong Zhuo, how brave he was. "Cao Cao also sighed when he heard this. "Good thing, within a few months, I will surely capture Pengcheng and kill Lu Bu. "Immediately afterwards, Cao Cao smiled again, with a confident look on his face. "With Da Sikong and my 55,000 elite soldiers, it will not be difficult to destroy Lu Bu in a few months. However, I heard that Yuan Shu in Huainan is very excited now, and I am afraid that it will bring about changes. "Liu Bei expressed his worries. Although Yuan Shu is nothing to worry about, it is still a big hidden danger. "It doesn't matter, Guangling Chen Deng has decided to send five thousand county troops to the south to station in the Huaihe River to guard against Yuan Shu. "Cao Cao said with a smile when he heard this. "This is the news that Cao Cao received on the way to lead the army. It is also very good and very exciting news. Although Yuan Shu has an army of 20,000, he has no plan or courage. It is impossible to be Chen Deng¡¯s opponent. It is impossible to go north. In this way, the accident will disappear. "Liu Bei's eyes also lit up, even?? said happily. Chen Deng is a man of military courage, who is enough to defeat Yuan Shu. Thinking of this, Liu Bei also felt a little regretful. He remembered that when he commanded Xuzhou, Chen Deng was also a talented person under his command, and he also supported him very much. ¡°It¡¯s a pity that without Xuzhou, his contact with Chen Deng was also severed. Now, Chen Deng is obviously leaning towards Cao Cao. What a pity, what a pity. Liu Bei felt sorry for losing a talent. "So, you should be more at ease, Lu Bu will definitely die." Cao Cao said with a smile. "Get ready, Gu, Cao Ren and Xuande will form a battalion to guard the west of the city. Li Dian and Le Jin will each lead a battalion of troops and camp in the north and east of the city respectively. Encircle on three sides and wait for a fierce attack on Pengcheng tomorrow." Immediately afterwards, Cao Cao The order was given. "Promise." All the generals agreed. Soon after, Liu Bei's camp was enlarged, and two camps were also stationed in the north and west of the city. The three camps were in the shape of a "pin", tightly squeezing Pengcheng in the middle, waiting for tomorrow's fierce attack to defeat Pengcheng. Take it. The Battle of Xuzhou has finally begun.
