() (I didn't reach [-], everyone, keep working hard, and look forward to the next update!)

Kong Rong and Tian Kai led the troops to come, but they were afraid of Cao's force, and they were far away from the village at the foot of the mountain, so they dared not enter lightly.

As for Liu Bei, he turned to Gongsun Zan to borrow troops, so it was delayed and has not yet arrived.

Explore the horse and report to Cao Cao.

Hearing that Kong Rong and Tian Kai had arrived together, Cao Cao felt a sense of sadness, but when he found out that the two of them had less than [-] soldiers and horses, he immediately felt relieved.

"Wen Ze! You lead [-] soldiers and horses to the north of the city, stop Kong Rong and Tian Kai, wait for me to break through the city, and then deal with them." Cao Cao told Jin.

"The last general takes orders!" Yu Jin replied loudly, and then he mobilized [-] soldiers and horses to stop Kong Rong and Tian Kai.

Near the camps of Kong Rong and Tian Kai, the forbidden army stopped and stationed there, confronting Kong Rong and Tian Kai.

The next day, Cao Cao led the army to the city of Xuzhou and surrounded it on all sides.

Cao Cao stood on the high platform and ordered in a cold voice: "Kill!"

With a wave of the command flag, Cao Jun's soldiers swarmed forward and rushed towards Xuzhou City.

"Come on!"

The four armies came out together and stormed the city.

Tao Qian also got news yesterday that Kong Rong and Tian Kai had led troops to arrive and had already stationed outside the city.

In order to boost morale, Tao Qian ordered people to spread the news.

Sure enough, upon learning of the arrival of reinforcements, the morale of the Xuzhou army was immediately boosted.

Today, facing the extremely brave Cao Jun, the Xuzhou Army resisted fearlessly.

"Our reinforcements have arrived, so don't be afraid."

……

"Kill these sons of bitches!"

……

……

The morale of the two sides is equal. Although the Cao army is strong, the Xuzhou army occupies a geographical advantage, which can only be regarded as evenly matched.

"Damn it!" Cao Cao gritted his teeth tightly, with traces of blood oozing from the corners of his mouth. Although he had expected that the morale of the Xuzhou army would be boosted when he heard the news of the arrival of the reinforcements, he still underestimated the resistance of the Xuzhou army.

After a fierce fight, Cao Jun retreated again. It was because Cao Jun couldn't persist, and Cao Cao couldn't stop.

Seeing the soldiers he had trained so hard fall down one by one, Cao Cao felt as if a knife was twisting in his heart, and finally he could not hold back the breath in his heart. He sighed and ordered to retreat.

Although Kong Rong and Tian Kai didn't dare to advance lightly, they sent troops to harass Cao's army from time to time, which made Cao Cao very anxious.

For a while, the battle situation stalemate.

Two months later, Liu Bei arrived with [-] soldiers and horses.

Liu Bei's thoughts are different from those of Kong Rong and Tian Kai. He has regarded Xuzhou as his own at this time, and naturally he does not want to see Cao Jun raging and destroying.

As soon as he arrived at the camp, Liu Bei came to see Kong Rong and asked to send troops.

Kong Rong was a little timid, and said worriedly: "Cao's army is powerful, and Cao Cao himself is good at using troops, so it may be difficult to match. Why don't you watch his movement first, and then make plans."

"Cao Jun has been besieging the city for more than a month, and the food and grass in the city may not be able to support it." Liu Bei is alarmist. Xuzhou City is the center of the entire Xuzhou, and there are countless hoards of food and grass.

Kong Rong is only a literati, relying on the name of a descendant of Confucius and his family's Yumeng to get a high position, he may be good at reciting poems and writing poems, but he is not proficient in people's livelihood and government affairs when he is fighting against each other.

Hearing Liu Bei's words, I panicked.

"What does Xuande think?" Kong Rong asked hurriedly.

Liu Bei smiled secretly, but his face was as usual.

Immediately, the two discussed how to march into the army, and a decision was soon made.

That day, Liu Bei and Zhang Fei each led a thousand soldiers and horses, and rushed into the forbidden camp.

Bing is very fast, and Liu Bei's attack was considered a mistake. If he was banned for a period of time and waited for him to find out the details and make arrangements, Liu Bei would never be able to break into Cao Jun's camp so easily.

Relying on Zhang Fei's bravery, Liu Jun fought hard to defeat Cao Jun.

Then, the two armies merged and went straight to Xuzhou City.

Tao Qian entered the city.

Seeing Liu Beisheng's majestic spirit, Tao Qian was overjoyed and wanted to give Xuzhou to Liu Bei.

"Today the world is disturbed, Wang Gang is weak, Xuande is the clan of the Han Dynasty, and it is appropriate to support the country. The old man is old and incompetent, so he should write his own letter, apply to the court, and give Xuzhou to Xuande." Tao Qian said sincerely.

Tao Qian was sincere, but Liu Bei thought that Tao Qian wanted to try, so he quickly refused.

"Although Bei is a Miao descendant of the Han Dynasty, his achievements are meager and his virtue is poor. He is already incompetent as Prime Minister of Pingyuan. How dare he look up to him? This time he came to help for the sake of righteousness. Mr. Tao's words, do you suspect that Bei has the intention of annexing?" Low, with a look of sincerity and fear.

"No! The old man is sincere, Xuande should not be suspicious." Tao Qian said hastily.

Liu Bei refused to give in again and again.

Seeing this, Chen Deng took a deep look at Liu Bei, and secretly praised in his heart: "Not bad!"

At this time, Liu Bei was just a newcomer, and his foothold was not stable. If he stole the high position, I am afraid that everyone would not accept it. However, he was able to resist the temptation and reject Tao Qian's proposal, which is really rare.

Similarly, Mi Zhu's mind is similar to Chen Deng's.

After thinking for a while, Mi Zhu stepped forward to persuade him, "My lord! Now that the enemy is approaching, we should first discuss the strategy of retreating the enemy, and then make a decision after the day when things are calm."

Liu Bei glanced at Mi Zhu, with no change on his face, and said, "Beidong should write a letter to Cao Cao, urging him to withdraw. If he doesn't obey, we'll fight again."

Therefore, Liu Bei wrote a letter and ordered someone to send it to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao led his troops back to the camp, counted the casualties, and lost more than 2000 soldiers and horses, so he couldn't help being furious.

Just at this time, Liu Bei's messenger arrived.

Cao Cao took the letter, only to see that the letter said: "Be prepared to worship the king's face from outside the pass, and the successors will be separated from each other. It is not as good as serving him. Xiang Zhe, respect your father Caohou, and it is not Tao Gongzu's crime that he was killed because of Zhang Kai's inhumanity. Today, the relics of the Yellow Turban are disturbing the outside world, and Dong Zhuo’s remaining party is entrenched inside. May the Duke of Ming put the imperial court’s urgency first, and then private enmity; withdraw the troops from Xuzhou to save the country from calamity: Xuzhou is blessed, and the world is blessed!”

Cao Cao was furious. After reading the letter, he immediately yelled: "You are mere Zhixi boy! How dare you persuade me with a letter?"

Then, he wanted to behead the envoy.

Seeing this, Guo Jia remonstrated: "Liu Bei is courteous first and then soldiers. My lord should not be disrespectful. You should answer with kind words to slow down his heart."

Now that Cao Cao was in a rage, only Guo Jia dared to speak out to persuade him.

Hearing Guo Jia's words, although Cao Cao was reluctant in his heart, he finally nodded in agreement and ordered people to entertain him.

Suddenly, the herald rushed in in a panic, shouting, "My lord! The disaster is over!"

Cao Cao was taken aback, and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Lü Bu led his troops to attack Yanzhou, and fought in Puyang. Except for Juancheng, Dong'e, and Fan County, which were designed by Xun Yu and Cheng Yu, the rest were captured by Lu Bu."

Lu Bu was chased by Li and Guo and escaped from Wuguan. He originally wanted to vote for Yuan Shu, but he thought that Dian Wei, Xu Chu, and Ji Ling under Yuan Shu's command had extraordinary martial arts and feared that they would not be reused, so he voted for Yuan Shao.

Yuan Shao accepted Lu Bu, and the two armies combined to defeat Zhang Yan. However, Lu Bu was arrogant and rude, and dismissed Yuan Shao's soldiers, which aroused Yuan Shao's anger and wanted to kill him.

Lü Bu was terrified and voted for Zhang Yang, and because of Pang Shu, he abandoned Zhang Yang and voted for Zhang Miao.

Chen Gong was also at Zhang Miao's place at this time.

Although Lu Bu was innocent, he was upright and upright, which was in line with Chen Gong's wishes.

Therefore, Chen Gong took advantage of the situation and joined Lu Bu's command, and then Chen Gong conspired to attack Yanzhou while Cao Cao's army was away, and even pulled Zhang Miao into his group.

Chen Gong's plan was really good, most of Cao's army was taken to Xuzhou by Cao Cao, leaving Yanzhou empty.

Lu Bu and Zhang Miao took advantage of the vacancy to enter, succeeded in one blow, and took down the important town of Puyang.

At that moment, when Cao Cao heard that Puyang had been lost, he turned pale in shock and said, "If Yanzhou is lost, wouldn't I be homeless?"

"Sure enough, it's still here!" Guo Jia sighed in his heart, and stepped forward to remonstrate: "My lord! Xuzhou can't stay for long, I will retreat quickly, Liu Bei's letter is a good step, my lord can take advantage of the trend."

Cao Cao understood, wrote a letter with a pen, and ordered the envoy to bring it back, and then sent an order to the army to pull out the stronghold and return to Yanzhou.
