The Three Kingdoms started from fooling Jia Xu

Chapter 114 Proud of Cao Cao, the strategy of filial piety

Seeing that Lu Bu ignored him, and instead commanded his generals to speed up the siege of the city, Liu Bei's expression was even more depressed.

After three breaths of thought, he turned his head and shouted violently: "Soldiers, Lü Bu acts recklessly and indulges his subordinates. If the city breaks down, all your wives and daughters will be humiliated."

After finishing speaking, Liu Bei drew out his double-pronged swords, with a resolute expression, raised the double-pronged swords high, and shouted angrily: "In this battle, I have no choice but to fight to the death to defend my homeland."

"Kill, kill, kill!"

Hearing Liu Bei shouting, the soldiers on the top of the city also ignited their will to die, shouting in unison.

…………

In a blink of an eye, three days later.

I saw Gao Shun and Zhang Liao standing in front of the battle in armor.

At this time, Zhang Liao glanced at the neatly lined up soldiers, immediately raised the sword in his hand, and shouted: "The general has an order. After the city is broken, the military discipline will be lifted for three days, kill!!!"

At the end of the sentence, countless soldiers howled, and immediately charged forward. At the same time, various siege equipment was also brought up, and several trebuchets roared and threw stones.

For a while, there was constant fighting on the top of the city.

Gao Shun had no expression on his face, and he led the 700 camps under his command to wait quietly. Each of these [-] people counted as ten, and they were all wearing solid armor and holding sharp knives.

The trapped camp is strong and equipped with the best armor, but Cao Cao and his ilk who are also fighting are complaining.

From dusk to dusk, there were countless dead bodies under the city, and Xiao Pei was stained red with blood. Similarly, Xiao Pei was also on the verge of collapse.

If Lu Bu continued to attack like this, it would take at least three days or as many as seven days, and Xiao Pei would definitely be lost. Thinking of this, Liu Bei became even more worried.

For this reason, he has no intention of falling asleep at all, and keeps appeasing the generals and strengthening the city.

At the same time, Xu Chang was in the mansion.

Listening to Liu Bei's personal guards in the hall, Cao Cao pretended to be solemn, and couldn't help asking: "Do you know how long Lu Bu led the army, and how long can your lord hold on?"

"Back to Duke Cao, then Lv Bu has [-] cavalry, and my lord won't be able to hold out for a few days." The personal guards were also unsure, and they only thought that Cao Cao's troops would be dispatched faster.

"One hundred thousand cavalry?" Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help laughing at his civil and martial arts.

In the next second, his gaze froze suddenly, and he looked at the guard again and said loudly, "If Lu Bu has a hundred thousand cavalry, then I, Cao Mengde, will be in Lu Bu's position now."

"Ah, Mr. Cao, it's a villain with poor eyesight. Lu Bu has only [-] cavalry, and he has already surrounded Xiaopei. My lord is in a hurry. I hope Mr. Cao will send troops to help!" the guard said again.

"Okay, okay," Cao Cao waved his hands impatiently, "Cao Ren, I think this general is tired and incoherent, take him down to rest."

"No!" Cao Ren cupped his fists.

"Cao Gong, will you send troops to help my lord!" The guard was stunned for a moment, and said quickly.

"Hey! Didn't you say that your master can't last for a few days? However, Xuchang is still ten days away from Xiaopei, and I, Cao Cao, can't help!"

As Cao Cao said, he gave Cao Ren a wink.

As the guards were sent away, Cao Cao suddenly laughed triumphantly.

The buttocks seem to have teeth, and they can't sit still, which is a joy.

After a long time, he said with a smile, "This guy Lu Bu is really loved and hated! I didn't expect him to be so stupid. He really went to attack Liu Bei."

"If he doesn't go, and Liu Bei guards Xiaopei, and he and he act as horns, taking care of each other, and relying on the bravery of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, I'm afraid I won't be able to capture Xuzhou."

"But now, Xuzhou is at my fingertips."

After speaking with a smile, Cao Cao looked at the crowd and said, "Everyone, do you think I will help Liu Bei this time, and if so, how should I do it?"

Xun Yu shook his head and smiled lightly: "Aid, of course we need aid, but it needs to be rescued slowly. It is best to wait until Liu Bei is defeated and the Lord's reinforcements will arrive."

Cao Cao smiled knowingly, then looked at Guo Jia, "Feng Xiao, what do you think?"

"Hehe, my lord wants to ask me when I will attack Xuzhou, right?" Guo Jia chuckled lightly, and immediately said, "Liu Bei is fighting Lu Bu with a few counties, but he is actually hitting a stone with an egg."

"Jia affirms that Liu Bei will surely flee if it takes as little as ten days or as long as more than a month. At that time, the reinforcements sent by the lord can gather Liu Bei's remnants and stand by for orders."

"It won't be too late for my lord to lead the army out after the military rations from all over Yuzhou are collected."

"After the autumn harvest?" Cheng Yu raised his eyebrows, then his pupils narrowed and said, "Why after the autumn harvest? Is Feng Xiao worried about Zhang Xiu in Jingzhou?"

Guo Jia nodded, changed from his past bohemian character, and said solemnly: "Although my lord has become an ally with Zhang Xiu, the autumn harvest is a big deal."

"As far as I know, instead of stationing troops in Xiakou and Wuxian, Zhang Xiu ordered Huang Zhong, Zhao Yun and other current tiger generals to lead tens of thousands of horses to guard Xinye, and Wenpin led the army to stay in Yecheng."

"These three people are Zhang Xiu's right-hand men, but they are all stationed in Nanyang. Instead, they let Huo Jun and Wei Yan, the little-known young generals, guard Jingzhou. Jia is worried that his intentions are not right!"

"You mean that Zhang Xiu is not going to attack Yizhou or Yangzhou, but wants to march into the Central Plains?" Cao Cao's eyebrows frowned, and he said in a deep voice.

"No, he won't enter the Central Plains, at least not now." Guo Jia almost asserted.

"Ruojia's prediction is correct. Zhang Xiu stationed troops with Xinye for two purposes. One is to confuse Sun Ce and Liu Zhang so that they will not form an alliance easily."

"Secondly, I think he came to station troops in Xinye to intimidate the lord. He wants the lord to think carefully before using troops, so as to slow down the time for the lord to attack Xuzhou."

After hearing Guo Jia's words, everyone was stunned.

No wonder Zhang Xiu not only did not stay with heavy troops after he captured Jingzhou, but it turned out that he wanted to deter his lord.

Xun Yu stroked his beard and nodded, clasped his fists and said, "My lord, what Feng Xiao said is very true. Yu also thought that after the autumn harvest, he would conquer Lu Bu, in case Zhang Xiu took advantage of the emptiness of our army and plundered him."

Cao Cao thought for a while, and immediately said: "Xiahoudun, you will lead an army of [-], and go to Xiaopei tomorrow. Remember, this battle cannot be rushed, and the journey cannot exceed [-] miles that day."

"Promise!" Xiahou Dun clasped his fists in response.

A few days later, Xiaopei City.

At this time, the city wall has been dyed dark red, and the top of the city is even more dilapidated.

On the top of the city, Liu Bei had a calm face, holding a double-strand sword, his cheeks were stained with blood, looking at his subordinates who had suffered heavy casualties, his heart was pierced like a knife.

It's over, it's over.

Xiao Pei, who he has worked hard for a year, may not be able to watch the next morning.

Seeing Jian Yong walking quickly, Liu Bei suddenly had some hopes, and said anxiously: "Xianhe, but there is news about Yunchang?"

With a bitter face, Jian Yong shook his head and said: "My lord, the arrows and fire fuel in the city are exhausted. If we continue to guard, the soldiers will have to fight with knives."

"The arrow is gone?" Liu Bei was stunned.

"Hmm! My lord, Xiaopei is hard to defend. I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on until tomorrow. If it's nightfall, my lord will lead the soldiers of the three armies to retreat westward!" Jian Yong said in a deep voice.

"West retreat?" Liu Bei's face was full of anger. He has been running since the beginning of the army. He was annoyed, and immediately drew his sword and shouted angrily.

"You are not allowed to withdraw your words, and anyone who withdraws your words will be personally beheaded!"
