Chapter 512: : Xuzhou is more critical

A genius remembers the address of this site in one second: (Vertex Chinese), the fastest update! No ads! Liu Bei nodded slowly, his face could not hide the worry. "But the Jizhou army and the Bingzhou army are fighting in Hanoi, how can they go to Xuzhou? Things."

"If the Sage is willing to come forward, and only need a message, Cao Jun will not dare to go forward. Even if the Cao Jun is powerful, how can he be an enemy of the princes of the world, and the state has a strong horse. Now he has captured the land of Hedong, and the army only needs to cross the Yellow River. To invade Yanzhou, Yehou is the former leader of the princes. The lord becomes Xuzhou herd, and Yehou also has a recommendation. He will definitely not sit back and watch Xuzhou be swallowed by Cao Jun." Chen Deng analyzed.

"Lao Gongyou will be there for the mission to Bingzhou." Liu Bei cast his gaze to Sun Gan, who was aside.

"Here." Sun Gan bowed and hurried away. Even if he was not optimistic about asking for help, Sun Gan would still try his best.

"Send orders to the army and the people to reinforce the city wall, and the people outside the city can go inside the city!" Liu Bei said.

After the news of Cao Jun’s arrival spread in the city, people were panicked. The atrocities of the Cao army in the past, Liu Bei also ordered the soldiers in the army to spread among the people. Many people spontaneously went to the city wall to repair the city wall. Soldiers and horses all over Xuzhou also It is mobilized towards Pengcheng.

Xuzhou is the place of the four wars. There is no strange danger to defend. Once a large army comes, you can go straight to Pengcheng. This is also the most helpless place for Liu Bei. It is reasonable for the cities along the way to take refuge in Cao Jun. After all, Cao Jun has five Thousands of soldiers and horses, like small cities along the way, can be captured in just a few days. Cao Jun also said very clearly, but all the cities that refuge in Qiu did not commit any crimes, and the cities that resisted were all massacred.

The officials in Xuzhou had seen Cao Jun's methods, and in panic, they hurriedly opened the gates. They didn't want to die just for Xuzhou.

However, in January, Pengcheng gathered 30,000 soldiers and horses, and Xiapi gathered 20,000 soldiers and horses. This was all the power in Liu Bei's hands.

It’s no secret that Cao Jun lacks food and grass. It’s no secret among the princes. Liu Bei allowed the people outside the city to enter the city. It was not only as simple as protecting the people, but also because he didn’t want Cao Jun to get food and grass. It is huge. Even if Yanzhou and Xuzhou are close to each other, it is not so convenient to transport grain and grass. You only need to resist Cao Jun.

When the locust plague occurred in Yanzhou and Yuzhou, many refugees poured into Xuzhou. Liu Bei also ordered nearly 30,000 refugees to be accepted. This move won Liu Bei a lot of fame, but it was accompanied by a huge consumption of food and grass. Although Liu Bei also learned to join the state to order the refugees to open up their fields, right now the refugees need to eat and drink.

There are not a few families in Xuzhou, and the refugees they receive are also a very small part. The fields of the family are also limited, and basically do not need too much manpower. As a result, nearly 30,000 refugees’ food and grass are consumed, all of which go to the prefecture. In fact, Xuzhou has sufficient grain and grass, but after only one year after Cao Jun invaded Xuzhou, the people did not recover from the disaster. In addition, the trade between Xuzhou and Bingzhou consumed a lot of grain and grass. Although his home is far away from Xuzhou, many businessmen in Xuzhou still favor Mi's family. Mi Zhu wantonly buys grain and grass in Xuzhou, especially after the influx of refugees in Binzhou, the price of grain in Xuzhou has doubled.

The aristocratic family had a lot of grain and grass in their hands, but the number of people in the city increased, and the Cao army attacked the city.

As such, there are not many grains and grasses in Xuzhou City, and full play is only enough for March. If Cao Jun besieged the city for March, Xuzhou would be in danger.

Of course, Liu Bei, who has 30,000 soldiers and horses in his hand, also wants to break Cao Jun in one fell swoop. Cao Jun is elite, and Liu Bei is also in the hands of fierce generals like Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, as well as elite cavalry. But these cavalrymen cost a lot of money from Lu Bu's mouth. I learned that this also gave Liu Bei a high level of confidence. As long as he can defeat the Yanzhou Army, he can also drive straight into the hinterland of Yanzhou.

Xiahoudun led five thousand soldiers and horses to Pengcheng. After setting up a camp five miles away from Pengcheng, he led three thousand soldiers to fight outside the city.

Three thousand soldiers and horses were laid out outside the city, which was quite impressive.

Seeing this, Liu Bei ordered Zhang Fei to lead the cavalry. He also needed a big victory to improve the morale of the army, so he was the strongest cavalry.

After Zhang Fei ordered two thousand cavalry, opened the city gate.

Xiahoudun saw that the soldiers of Xuzhou were very strong, and his heart became tight. Although he had 500 cavalry under his command, the number of Xuzhou cavalry on the opposite side reached 2,000. Yan is definitely a nightmare.

With the arrow on the string, I had to send it. Xiahou Dun is not a person who retreats easily. With a heart move, he shouted before walking: "I am Yanzhou General Xiahou Dun, who is here?"

Zhang Fei saw that Xiahou Dun’s words meant to fight against generals, and he smiled. The fighting method like fighting generals is Zhang Fei’s favorite ~www.readwn.com~ especially the duel against fierce generals, which always makes him feel To the enthusiasm.

"I am Zhang Yide from Yan, Xiahou Dun will come up to death!" Zhang Fei burst out, and the soldiers who followed Xiahou Dun were all stunned, mainly because Zhang Fei's voice was too loud.

"Zhang Yide? Zhang Yide who won the battle against General Xu Chu?" Xiahou Dun quietly put away his contempt. He admired Xu Chu's martial arts very much. The man with a leopard head and eyes can be equal to Xu Chu, which shows Zhang Feizhi. Brave.

After answering, Zhang Feiyue's horse pointed his spear and killed Xiahou Dun.

With a move of the long knife in Xiahoudun's hand, he also slapped Zhang Fei. The two of you came and went on the battlefield.

Xiahoudun felt that the tiger's mouth had cracked, and the look in Zhang Fei's eyes added a trace of awe. The spear in Zhang Fei's hand was not only varied, but also the force transmitted through the spear was huge.

Before the two armies lined up, Xiahou Dun would not easily concede defeat, screamed, and slammed Zhang Fei again.

Zhang Fei showed a sneer. The fight just now allowed him to find out the strength of Xiahou Dun. Perhaps he could be regarded as a strong general in the army, and there was still a big gap compared with himself.

After ten times, Xiahoudun shook his head and rode his horse back to the camp. Zhang Fei led the cavalry to chase down Cao Jun’s camp. The camp was like a rain of arrows. After Zhang Fei led the people to curse outside the camp for a while, he led his troops. Hurry back to the city.

This victory also greatly encouraged the morale of the defenders. When facing the Cao army before, the Xuzhou army could only stand firm, but now this fierce Xuzhou cavalry gave the defenders hope. After being familiar with Liu Bei's rule, the family in the city naturally did not want to meet a stranger Cao Cao. Pengcheng was the seat of Xuzhou's prefecture.
