Chapter 440 The Siege of Xuzhou

"Kill me." At this moment, I don't know who shouted. Then several generals rushed out behind Jia Xu, and then the soldiers rushed towards the Tiger Prison Pass like a tide. After a while, they had already hit the Tiger Prison Pass.

"What's going on?" Xia Hou Dun rushed out of his station, looked at the already chaotic Tiger Prison Pass surrounded by a group of soldiers, and shouted angrily.

"General, it's not a big deal. Zhang Mio came in with Lv Bu. General, you'd better go quickly." At this moment, a person stumbled and rushed to the front. Xiahou Dun saw that it was his deputy general. However, at this time, Yu Jin's face was full of black and gray, and he looked tired and obviously panicked.

"Lv Bu? Damn, let's go." As soon as he heard the news of Lv Bu entering the customs, Xia Hou Dun's face turned pale. Thinking that Cao Cao was not in Yanzhou now, and Zhang Mio also colluded with Lv Bu, Xia Hou Dun felt a hot current from his heart.

"General, don't hesitate. The small one protects the general from the siege." Seeing Xiahou Dun's expression, Yu Jian hurried forward to dissuade him.

"Let's go." However, Xiahou Dun also knew that the situation at this time was no longer beyond his control, so he only hummed a word coldly and fled to the gate surrounded by a group of sergeants.

"Zhang Yaohe is here. I'm going to kill him." Xiahou Dun went to the door, but he happened to see Zhang Mi's horse guarding the door, so he shouted and rushed forward with a knife. However, there was no trace of Zhang Miao. It turned out that when Zhang Miao saw Xia Hou Dun coming, he had already hidden and did not dare to see each other.

"The general should not stay here for a long time. There will be plenty of time after killing Zhang Mio." Seeing that Zhang Mio's trace was not seen for a while, and Zhang Mio's people and horses left at the door were also scattered and fled at this time. Yu Jin came forward and said that Zhang Miu was definitely just a small man, and Lv Bu was their big enemy.

"Zhang Yupifu, I'm going to take your head sooner or later." Hearing the shout of killing behind him, Xiahou Dun could only shout and leave. It was only then that Zhang Mio came out of his hiding place and raised his sleeves to wipe the sweat on his head.

Above the Xuzhou Tower, Tao Qian dragged his body and looked at Cao Cao's army outside the city with the help of Chen Deng. A pair of old eyes flashed with tears from time to time.

"I, Tao Qian, have been in charge of Xuzhou for many years. I think that I am upright and honest, worthy of the emperor's kindness, and worthy of the people of Li people, but I didn't want to do a stupid thing, but it has brought a sword disaster to the people of Xuzhou. It is my fault of the emperor's kindness, and I am ashamed of the people of Li people." A group of generals stood behind Tao Qian. Listening to Tao Qian's words, they didn't feel tears secretly. The hand holding the handle of the knife couldn't help tightening the sword in his hand.

"Your Excellency, this time it's all because of Cao Cao's treachery and wants to take the opportunity to occupy Xuzhou. How can it be said that it was caused by adults?" Listening to Tao Qian's self-reproach, Chen Deng persuaded him.

"At present, adults should still relax their minds and work together to surround Xuzhou. On the surface, Cao Cao came here to deal with adults. In fact, the real witness is just to occupy Xuzhou. Adults still need to take care of their health. Only when adults are safe can the people of Xuzhou feel at ease. Seeing that Tao Qian was still a little unrelievable, Chen Gui, who was beside him, also came forward to persuade him.

"Hey, you are bothered by Xuzhou City." After listening to Chen Gui's words, Tao Qian also understood that the top priority was not to investigate the circumstances of the matter, but to set up a job to protect Xuzhou City.

"Yes." Under Tao Qian's infection, the generals quickly nodded and agreed, and then turned around and left to preside over the defense of Xuzhou City.

At this time, Cao Cao stood in the middle army and looked at the city of Xuzhou. Cao Cao raised two tall flags behind him, and saw two huge words "revenge" and "snow hatred" written on it.

"Cao Gong, the army is ready to stop, and we can launch an offensive immediately." At this time, Xia Houyuan, who was beside him, came forward and bowed to Cao Cao and said.

"It is rumored that the army will start to attack, and I will break through Xuzhou in three days." Looking at his powerful subordinates in front of him, Cao Cao's face was calm but full of vigor.

"Cao Gong, wait." At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded, and a figure came to Cao Cao. This person was none other than Guo Jia, Cao Cao's most trusted counselor.

"What's the matter with filial piety?" Cao Cao didn't expect that someone would dare to block his military order and was about to get angry, but he turned around and saw that it was Guo Jia coming, which slightly suppressed the anger in his heart and asked.

"I just got the news that there was a lot of people coming from the northeast. It seems that there are tens of thousands of people. I think it's time to come to help Tao Qian." Guo Jia stepped forward and saluted Cao Cao.

"Ha ha, but what does ten thousand people count?" Cao Cao just smiled gently at the news brought by Guo Jia. Although Cao Cao did not expect that someone would send troops to help Tao Qian and go against him at this time, it was just ten thousand words, but Cao Cao did not pay attention to it.

"Gong Cao, please have a look." At this time, I saw smoke and dust rolling in the northeast of the road. It turned out that more than 10,000 people were divided into two roads, staying in the same place along the way, and the other way rushed straight to Xuzhou City, which was surrounded by the Cao army.

"Your excellency, look, rescuers have arrived outside the city." Of course, the people above the Xuzhou Tower also saw this scene clearly. They saw that the four generals who were Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Zhao Yun sent by Gongsun Zan.

It turned out that Liu Bei came from Youzhou with Guan Zhang and Zhao Yun, but he still felt that there were too few soldiers and horses to deter Cao Cao. So when he passed through Beihai County, he went to help Kong Rong, the governor of Beihai. Kong Rong also sent soldiers and horses because he was grateful for Tao Qian's benevolence. The three parties were in one place, but there were more than ten thousand soldiers and horses. However, when he came to Xuzhou City, Kong Rong saw that Cao Cao's soldiers were strong and did not dare to move lightly, while Liu Bei took Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun directly to Xuzhou City.

"Open the gate quickly and welcome distant guests for me." Seeing someone coming to help, Tao Qian immediately became excited and quickly asked someone to open the gate to invite Liu Bei and others in.

"In the lower plain, Liu Bei, although there are few soldiers, there is still a heart of justice. He specially led troops to rescue him. Please don't be surprised." As soon as Liu Bei saw Tao Qian, he saluted and said.

"Ha ha, I've heard that Uncle Huang is famous for a long time. Today, it really lives up to his reputation. With Uncle Huang here, Xuzhou can be safe and sound." When he saw Liu Bei and Tao Qian, he was also in a hurry to salute.

"It is an injustice for Cao Cao to attack Xuzhou here. Liu Bei is willing to write a letter for the reconciliation of the two families. I don't know what the adults think?" Liu Bei was a bachelor, and as soon as he came up, he put forward a proposal to solve the immediate dispute.

"Then there will be Uncle Lao." Hearing Liu Bei's opinion, although Tao Qian felt that it was not feasible, Liu Bei was a guest. Since Liu Bei was willing to have a try, Tao Qian naturally had no reason to refuse.

At the same time, Cao Cao outside Xuzhou was full of gloom and kneaded a secret letter into a tissue. The reason is very simple. Cheng Yu has sent the news that Lv Bu and Zhang Mi raided Yanzhou.

"Cao Gong, what happened?" Seeing Cao Cao's solemn face, the generals were full of surprise, and Guo Jia also asked quickly.

Guo Jia's question made Cao Cao immediately come to his senses. After handing over the letter that had been kneaded into a paper towel to Guo Jia, Cao Cao patted his head and said jokingly, "Haha, it's just that Lv Bu's child attacked Yanzhou when I was not prepared. It seems that I still underestimate Lv Bu, but Lv Bu is just a man who dares to steal. Attacking my state and county, it seems that he must be called good-looking this time.

Originally, when the generals saw that Cao Cao looked ugly, they thought something difficult to solve, but when they saw that Cao Cao looked calm now, they were very calm and thought that Cao Cao had become a bamboo in his chest. Only Guo Jia peeked at Cao Cao and understood that Cao Cao was just pretending to be calm and wanted to stabilize the army at this time. You should know that most of the Qingzhou army came from the yellow scarf. Now that Zhang Yan suddenly made trouble in Puyang, the Qingzhou army must be unstable. Now the situation in Yanzhou is even more unclear, and the families of the military generals are in Puyang. If it is short-term. Yanzhou cannot be recaptured, but the army's heart is floating, which is enough to make this army disperse. Not to mention fighting.

Cao Cao met Cao Ren on his way back to the army at night. Cao Cao knew that Yanzhou had gone. Only Yuncheng, Dong'a and Fan County were only preserved because of Cheng Yu's design and the city, and the rest of the counties had been occupied by Lv Bu.

Hearing Cao Ren's report, Cao Cao laughed and just ordered Cao Ren to lead 30,000 soldiers and horses back to garrison three places, and he led a large army to Yanzhou.

However, he said that Lv Bu attacked Yanzhou and had to surrender 50,000 troops. He knew that Cao Cao would definitely return to help at night, so he recruited generals to discuss the strategy of resisting the enemy.

"Cao Cao led an army of 200,000 troops to attack Xuzhou. This time, when he learned that our army attacked Yanzhou, he would definitely run back at night. I don't know if you have a good strategy to retreat from the enemy?" Although Lv Bu has been in war for a long time, Cao Cao Cao is a powerful opponent. If it hadn't been for Lv Bu's layout and Yuan Shu, Cao Cao would not have easily attacked Xuzhou. If it hadn't been for Chen Liutai Shou Zhang Mi as an internal response, Lv Bu would not have been able to break through Yanzhou so quickly to achieve such a great result, but the current situation is not easy, Lv Bu I also know that Cao Cao is not good with each other, so I really want to listen to listen to him and brainstorm, so as to stabilize the situation in Yanzhou and weaken Cao Cao's strength.

As soon as Lv Bu's voice fell, Zang Ba under the stage first stood up and bowed and said, "Now Yanzhou is the land of our army. How can we allow Cao Cao to be rampant? He is willing to be the vanguard and defeat the Cao army."

"General, this is talking about business. Why do you come out and join in the fun?" Hearing Zang Ba's words, Dian Wei beside Lv Bu curled his lips but said a lesson. Although Dian Wei doesn't know strategy, he knows that what Zang Ba said at this time is just nonsense. If it's just what Zang Ba said, there is still need to discuss something.
