"Liu Bei is stubbornly defending Picheng, and our army will definitely not be able to break through it in the short term!"

"But Liu Bei's family is all in Xiaopei City, and Liu Bei guards Chen to guard!"

"Therefore, when the general feinted to attack Xiaopei City, he actually set up an ambush on ten sides on the waterway!"

"As long as Liu Bei is led out of the city to help, he will take the waterway, and then our army will break Liu Bei in a battle and counterattack Xiaopei City!"

When the words fell, Chen Gong deliberately made a knife-wielding motion.

"Feasible!" Lu Bu nodded slightly.

Now that Chen Deng is in Guangling City, Taishan's Zang Ba verbally supports him, but in fact he does not move.

With the strength of Lu Bu's family alone, Liu Bei, who wanted to break through Picheng, was far more difficult than breaking through Dangtu City.

"The generals will listen to the order, and tomorrow the third watch will withdraw from Xiapi City!"

"Yes!" The generals clenched their fists.

The next day, there was no fighting between the two armies.

As soon as it got dark, there were countless soldiers and horses mobilized in Lu Bu's camp.

At the time of the third watch, all of them withdrew from Xiapi City.

At dawn, the Xiapicheng Sentinel got the news, and Pegasus informed Liu Bei.

"Lord, Lu Bu's military horse is going to the direction of Rencheng in Xuzhou!"

"Probe and report again!" Liu Bei waved his hand.

Subsequently, the civil and military forces were summoned to the Chinese army's big tent to discuss countermeasures.

Zhang Fei asked: "Big brother, this Lu Bu can't break through Xiapicheng, he ran away, we should set up a celebration banquet!"

Liu Bei said: "I think it's a little strange about this matter, why did Lu Bu withdraw the siege?"

Sun Qian immediately said: "Lord, isn't it that Cao Cao entered Yanzhou, and Lu Bu just retreated?"

"Could Cao Cao be so kind?" Liu Bei asked Sun Qian.

Sun Qian was silent for a moment.

Judging from his experience in sending Cao Cao many times, Cao's name as a thief did not come for nothing.

If there is no profit, Cao Cao will never be so kind.

"Lord!" Mi Zhu said: "At this time, I'm afraid there is only one other possibility!"

Liu Bei said: "Zizhong say it quickly!"

Mi Fang immediately said: "Lu Bu can't break through Xiapicheng, turn around and go to fight Xiaopeicheng!"

At this moment, Liu Bei's face changed.

Xiaopei Xiaopei, in the final analysis, is a small county town, far less solid than the county towns of Xiapi, Rencheng, and Guangling.

Xiaopei is under the jurisdiction of Yuzhou, and is geographically between Xiapi and Rencheng.

It is the top priority and the only way for Xuzhou and Yuzhou.

Lu Bu can return to Rencheng, or he can directly take Xiaopeicheng.

And the more critical reason is that most of the families of military generals, including Liu Bei, are in Xiaopei City.

Once Xiao Peicheng is lost, then the extremely vicious Lu Bu will never be merciful.

"Xiao Peicheng must not be superior!" Liu Bei said categorically.

Zhang Fei immediately said: "Big brother, I will immediately lead my troops back to help Xiaopeicheng!"

Liu Bei shook his head: "Lu Bu's soldiers are strong and strong, with your strength, how did you break Lu Bu?" "

Hey!" Zhang Fei sighed: "If the two of them are also in Xuzhou, the two of us will definitely be able to break Lu Bu!"

Liu Bei looked up at the ceiling, and began to miss his second brother Guan Yu.

But now, Guan Yu is serving as the deacon of Jinwu in Xudu.

Even if you go to write to Guan Yu, far water can't save your thirst.

Everything still has to rely on yourself.

Mi Zhu said: "The lord and go to Xiaopei City, I can guard the city with Jian Yong and Sun Qian!"

Liu Bei nodded and ordered: "The three of you remember, there are many suspicious soldiers in the city, and big flags are planted all over the city, so don't let people know that Yide and I are not in Xiapi City!" "

Yes, my lord!" Mi Zhu, Jian Yong and Sun Qian clasped their fists one after another.

That night, Liu Bei mobilized ships to transport troops.

Follow Surabaya all the way to Xiaopei.

When crossing Llama Lake, countless torches suddenly burned on both sides of the river, and the big boat in front of it stopped horizontally, blocking the exit of the waterway.

Immediately after, the drums of war sounded.

I saw Lu Bu, who was holding Fang Tian's painting halberd, standing on the top of the mountain and shouting: "Fool big-eared thief, you have fallen for my scheme, where do you want to flee today?" The

Xuzhou soldiers yelled one after another: "Foolish big-eared thief, I have fallen for my general's strategy!" "

Quick, land, land!" Liu Bei roared hoarsely.

An ambush battle began.

Liu Bei, who did not have an advantage in soldiers and horses and was attacked by a sneak attack, did not have the courage to fight to the death with Lu Bu at all.

More than 10,000 soldiers and horses began to flee in all directions after landing.

"Chase, kill the big-eared thief for me!"

Lu Bu rode a red rabbit horse and pursued Lu Bu with a Fang Tian painting halberd.

The Xuzhou army pursued the enemy like a dog chasing a rabbit.

The mountains were full of Liu Bei's deserters.

The ambush continued until dawn the next day.

Lu Bu beheaded more than thousands, and Liu Bei and Zhang Fei did not know where to go.

Chen Gong immediately advised Lü Bu to immediately counterattack Picheng.

Lu Bu readily agreed, immediately reorganized the soldiers and horses, and returned to Xiapi City along the waterway.

When the news of the defeat reached Xiapi City, Mi Zhu, Sun Qian, and Jian Yong all panicked.

Sun Qian asked Mi Zhu: "The lord was ambushed and defeated by Lu Bu, where should I go now?" "

Mi Zhu is a native of Xuzhou and has a lot of prestige in the local area.

After Liu Bei entered Xuzhou, Mi Zhu also contributed the most.

Defend or flee, it all depends on Mi Zhu's words.

Mi Zhu shook his head and said

, "The defenders in the city are only five thousand, and they will definitely not be able to resist Lu Bu's iron cavalry!"

"What's more, there is a cloud in the art of war: a lonely city cannot be defended!"

"I expect that after the defeat of the main army, he will definitely return to Xiaopei, and our army can lead his troops to escape from Xiapi City overnight and turn with the main prince!"

Sun Qian nodded heavily: "Zi Zhong is reasonable, although we lost the city but did not lose the soldiers and horses, presumably the lord will not blame us!" "

Hmm!" Jian Yong also nodded: "Lu Bu takes the water route, and our army can retreat by land!"

That night, Mi Zhu ordered the whole army to withdraw from Xiapi City and flee to Xiaopeicheng by land.

By the time Lu Bu arrived outside Xiapi City, there was no trace of Liu Bei's subordinates.

Lü Bu led his troops into the city and held a banquet to entertain the three armies that night.

Wine over three rounds of food over five flavors.

Chen Gong found Lu Bu: "General, although Xiapi City has been recaptured, then Liu Bei is always a scourge!"

Lu Budao: "According to the opinion of Gongtai, what should I do?"

Chen Gong said: "Take advantage of the victory to pursue, take Xiaopei City directly, and don't leave Liu Bei a way out, otherwise there will be endless troubles!"

"Good!" Lu Bu nodded heavily.

On the other side, the defeated Liu Bei entered Xiaopei City.

Mi Zhu, Jian Yong and Sun Qian also led the army back.

The remnants of the defeated army will gather together, and there are still seven or eight thousand men and horses.

Liu Bei not only did not blame Mi Zhu, but also praised him heavily.

Mi Zhu said: "Then Lu Bu has captured Picheng, and he will definitely come to attack Xiaopei, and the lord should think of countermeasures!" "

Yes!" Sun Qian also nodded.

Liu Bei asked, "According to the opinion of the two gentlemen, what should I do?"

Mi Zhu said: "We can retreat into Yuzhou Chen State to defect to Chen Wang Liu Chong, if Lu Bu comes to attack, Cao Cao will definitely send troops to Xuzhou!"

"Zizhong is reasonable!" Liu Bei nodded heavily.

Yuzhou was under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, and although the state of Chen was highly autonomous, it was still nominally under the imperial court.

Cao Cao could never sit idly by.

What's more, Chen Wang Liu Chong, like him Liu Bei, is the queen of the Han family.

Just because both of them are surnamed Liu, Chen Wang and Liu Pet will not turn him away.

Sun Qian took the initiative to ask for help: "Lord, I am willing to be an envoy to enter the Chen State to lobby Liu Pet!"

Liu Bei arched his hand and signaled: "There is Lao Gongyou!" "
