The long siege began.
The scene of chaos in and out of Tancheng was once again displayed in Xuzhou.
Surround the enemy ten times, attack the enemy five times, fight the enemy twice, divide the enemy's forces, escape when the enemy is weak, and avoid when the enemy is weak.
Cao Cao was good at military affairs.
Naturally, they knew how terrifying a siege was.
However, he didn't have much time left. He had to take down Xuzhou before anything happened in Yanzhou.
Then, everything was too ideal. In less than three days, Xu Prefecture received reinforcements, and they were his old friends.
At the front of the army.
Cao Cao's eyes were filled with ferocity.
Like a blade, it landed directly on the flag in the distance.
Liu, Guan, Zhang, the three banners destroyed the Yanzhou army's attack on Tancheng, forcing the army to retreat.
"My lord!"
Dian Wei said rudely," I request to fight. If we can stop the reinforcements from Xuzhou, our army will be able to break through Tancheng in a few days and take down the entire Xuzhou!”
"Mingjin!"
Cao Cao ordered decisively.
The army's attack on the city had already been defeated, and continuing to attack would only increase the number of casualties.
For a time, the war drums sounded in the wilderness as the Yanzhou army retreated back to the camp.
The city gates opened with a bang.
Tao Qian led his soldiers out of Tan City and said excitedly,""When Cao Mengde killed Xu Prefecture, I asked for reinforcements from many vassals. Who would have thought that there would be Duke Xuande of Pingyuan?”
"I wouldn't dare!"
Liu Bei dismounted.
Tao Qian tugged at Liu Bei's sleeve and said in shame,""Liu Bei, quickly enter the city and discuss the matter of retreating Cao Cao!”
"This matter is not difficult!"
Liu Bei spoke in a sonorous and forceful tone." The death of Old Master Cao was not Gongzu's fault. He has committed a grave sin by killing the people of Xuzhou. I will write a letter tomorrow to ask him to withdraw his troops. Xuzhou will naturally be at peace!"”
"Xuande is righteous!"
Tao Qian was so excited that tears streamed down his face.
Xu Prefecture had suffered greatly in this war, and he had accounted for more than half of it.
If he didn't want to make peace with Yanzhou, why would he send Zhang Kai to escort Cao Song and cause this war!
The army returned to camp.
The atmosphere in the commander's tent was extremely stifling.
Just as the city was about to fall, Liu Xuande ran out.
It was truly detestable to turn the siege of Yanzhou into smoke!
"My lord!"
" Xu Mo will lead 5,000 soldiers to attack the city again," Cao Ren said unwillingly." This time, we will definitely be able to break through Tancheng!"”
"No need!"
Cao Cao's expression darkened." Rest for two days and reorganize the troops before attacking the city. Guan Yu, although Zhang Fei is a general who can fight against ten thousand people, he is not enough to change the situation. Liu Xuande is really not a son of a man!"”
"Here!"
Cao Ren said angrily.
Cao Cao looked at Xi Zhicai and said,"Zhicai, do you have a good plan?"”
"Attack!"
Xi Zhicai smiled bitterly.
Seeing this, Cao Cao was disappointed and said,"If he was here, he might be able to!"”
"Hmm?"
The civil and military officials were dumbfounded.
Dian Wei said in a low voice," My lord, we don't have time. He said two months at most. It's almost two months now!"”
"I hope not!"
Cao Cao's eyes were filled with seriousness.
He hoped that Xiao Bei would be outstanding, not because of his failure.
That night.
The music in Tancheng is boiling.
Tao Qian even took out the Prefecture Overseer Seal, wanting to give it to Liu Bei.
The next day.
The army of Yanzhou was reorganized.
Just as they were cooking, Liu Bei's messenger appeared outside the camp gates.
"My lord!"
Xi Zhicai entered the commander's tent and placed the bamboo slips on the table. He said respectfully,""Liu Xuande sent someone to send a letter. He said that it concerns the major events of Xu and Yan Provinces and must be personally reported by the Lord!”
"Liu Bei?"
Cao Cao's eyes were filled with disgust.
Suddenly, he felt that the venison in front of him did not smell good anymore.
"Yes, sir!"
Xi Zhicai said respectfully.
Cao Cao opened the bamboo scroll and his eyes turned cold. He mocked,"Liu Xuande is really talented. He bragged about the Yellow Turbans and the vassals attacking Dong's old friends, and then shamelessly said that I killed Xu Prefecture and asked us to retreat!”
"Eh?"
Cao Ren, Xiahou Yuan, and the others were slightly shocked.
The hatred of killing one's father was irreconcilable, not to mention that the Great Han Dynasty was extremely particular about filial piety.
Now, Liu Bei wanted to use a letter to make Yanzhou retreat. Was he a fool?
"Zixiao!"
Cao Cao said coldly," Go out and kill the messenger. When I issued the order, I said that anyone who dares to help Tao Gongzu will be my enemy for life. This person will fight with him endlessly!”
"Here!"
Cao Ren shouted.
"Urgent report!"
"Urgent report!"
"Yanzhou 800 Li Urgent!"
Before Cao Ren could leave, a bloodstained general rushed into the commander's tent.
"Boom!"
"What's wrong with Yanzhou?" Cao Cao suddenly stood up.”
"Yanzhou!"
Xi Zhicai, Cao Ren, Xiahou Yuan, and the others were all shocked.
When they set out, they all knew that Yanzhou was unstable, but they had to attack Xuzhou.
Therefore, they would go all out in battle, wanting to return victorious in the shortest time possible.
"My lord!"
" Zhang Miao, Zhang Chao, the prefect of Chenliu, Xu Si, Wang Kai, and Chen Gongtai have invited Lu Bu to take over Yanzhou. Chenliu has been breached. Sima Xun Yu and Cheng Yu have retreated to Dongjun!"”
"We're finished!"
Everyone's mind was filled with a roar.
Before Xuzhou was captured, Yanzhou was lost, and the battle was a complete failure.
"He's right!"
"He's really right!"
Cao Cao muttered to himself.
Dian Wei also muttered," If we were to fight Xuzhou, we would definitely be forced to retreat by the changes in the state within two months at most. Sir, you are truly a god!"”
"Sir?"
Xi Zhicai's mind was filled with doubts.
Xun Yu, Cheng Yu, or some other civil official?
