Thump! Thump! Thump!
The sound of drums and armor clashing could be heard.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The 150,000-strong army moved at the same time, causing the ground to tremble slightly and dust to billow.
"Victory!"
"Victory!"
"Victory!"
Accompanied by roars, the 150,000-strong army marched toward Xu Prefecture like a flood and a ferocious beast.
Flags flapped in the wind, their might soaring into the sky!
Xun Yu was left to defend the city.
At this moment, he was standing on the city wall and watching everything. No one knew what he was thinking...
……
Jizhou, Yuan Shao's camp.
After meeting Zhao Yun, Liu Bei received a letter from Zhuge Liang. He was so excited that his hands trembled as he held the letter.
"The heavens are not forsaking me, Liu Bei!"
Liu Bei roared into the sky as two streams of tears flowed down his face.
Guan Yu saw that Liu Bei was so excited after reading a letter. He asked with a puzzled expression,
"Brother, what happened?”
After a long time, Liu Bei calmed down and said,""Second brother, have you heard of the name Crouching Dragon Phoenix?”
Guan Yu shook his head.
"Duke Pang De of Lumen Mountain once said,'A dragon and a phoenix can bring peace to the world!" Liu Bei said happily. This is a letter from Mister Wolong!"
"So powerful?"
Guan Yu was skeptical.
Liu Bei ignored him and gritted his teeth,""Mister Wolong is willing to help us, so what is there to fear from that Cao Biao?”
Liu Bei, who was originally dejected, stood straight and full of confidence.
"Second Brother, Zilong, let's go to Jing State immediately!”
……
" Life is like a dream. It's easy to waste it. Millions of gold and spears are in my hands. After drinking, I look back. Who knew that I..."
Yuan Shao was drinking and singing.
A person walked over quickly. It was Yuan Shao's advisor, Guo Tu.
Guo Tu raised his hands and said,"My Lord, bad news!"”
Yuan Shao frowned.”
"We just received a report from the front. Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhao Yun have gathered thousands of troops and are heading west!" Guo Tu said.”
"West?"
"Is he not going back to Jizhou?" Yuan Shao was slightly startled.”
"My lord, do you still expect Liu Bei to return?" Guo Tu asked. He must have defected to Xuchang!"
Yuan Shao's face darkened, and he asked the dancers to leave.
At this moment, Xu You walked over.
Yuan Shao glanced at Xu You." Xu You, the big-eared thief betrayed me and went to Xuchang!"”
"No, no!"
Xu You smiled." My lord, Liu Bei hates the Cao family to the bone. His third brother was killed by Cao Biao. It can be said that they are irreconcilable enemies. Therefore, I can conclude that Liu Xuande will never join Cao. If he really goes west..."
"Then he must have gone to join Liu Biao of Jing State and tried to rely on the nine counties of Jing and Xiang to regain his dominance!”
Yuan Shao stood up and said in a deep voice,"Am I not as good as Liu Biao?"”
"I loved the big-eared thief, but he broke his promise to me, betrayed me, and abandoned me. Everyone says that Liu Xuande is treacherous but loyal, and that his hypocrisy is true! If I don't behead this big-eared thief, it will be difficult to appease my anger!”
The more Yuan Shao spoke, the angrier he became. He waved his sleeves and said,
"Guo Tu, I believe that the big-eared bandit hasn't gone far yet. Quickly send five thousand cavalry to pursue him at night.”
"No, no, my lord, you must not!”
Guo Tu was just about to accept the order when Xu You interrupted him,""It's just a mere Liu Bei, why does my lord need to make such a big fuss? In my opinion, the Cao family is the real disaster!”
"Didn't Xuchang send a letter saying that they wanted you to deal with Cao Biao together? Now that the Cao family is fighting, it's the best time for the lord!”
Yuan Shao pondered for a moment and nodded in agreement.
"That's right, our current enemy is Cao Cao, not Liu Bei and Liu Biao. Cao Cao has been captured, and the Cao family is fighting internally.”
"Lord, please be wise!"
"My lord is wise…"
……
Three days later.
Yanzhou had already fallen into Cao Biao's hands.
Cao Pi's army, after traveling day and night, had finally reached 20 miles outside Xiapi City.
The 150,000-strong army was vast and mighty, and dust billowed. It was as if a dark cloud had covered the sky as it headed toward Xiapi City.
Cao Pi could not ride a horse due to his disability, so he followed Cao Cao's example and sat on the chariot. At this moment, he smiled and said to Sima Yi,""Mister, even if Cao Biao returns to defend now, it's too late, right?”
Sima Yi nodded." Second Young Master, don't worry. Xu Prefecture is yours!"”
"Haha!"
Cao Pi laughed loudly." Cao Biao, you have Zhang Liang's plan, and I have the ladder to climb over the wall. Do you think you can surprise Yanzhou and catch us off guard? But I can also turn things around and seize your Xuzhou and your old nest!”
"I'll let you linger on for a few more days. I, Cao Pi, will personally end you!”
Cao Pi waved his hand."
"Order the vanguard to advance at full speed!"
Rumble!
In less than half a day's time, the army had already arrived one mile outside the city wall of Xiapi City and stopped.
The black clouds pressed down on the city, and the golden scales of the armor shone toward the sun!
Cao Pi and Sima Yi, who were at the top of the army, frowned slightly.
The city gates of Xiapi City were wide open. There was not a single soldier on the city walls, not even a sweeper! A gust of wind blew, stirring up a cloud of dust.
Cao Pi looked at Sima Yi in shock.”
Sima Yi closed his eyes and pondered for a long time before he finally said,"
"Cao Biao is cunning. Could it be that he has already set up an ambush in the city and invited us into it?”
" Impossible!" Cao Pi said in disbelief." Cao Biao has already led tens of thousands of soldiers from Xu Prefecture to attack Yanzhou. How could he set up an ambush in Xiapi City?"”
Sima Yi shook his head." Second Young Master, don't forget that Cao Biao still has 200,000 Yuan Shu's surrendered soldiers in Shouchun!”
"Hiss!"
Cao Pi gasped." Sir, do you mean that Cao Biao has already expected us to attack Xuzhou and set up an ambush in advance? He deliberately opened the city gates wide to lure us in?"”
Sima Yi sighed.”
Cao Pi frowned. We can't just retreat!"
"No!"
Sima Yi shook his head, his eyes shining.""We will send a vanguard into the city to scout the situation!”
"I'm willing to go!"
Yu Jin was the first to stand up. He had long been unable to stand Sima Yi's dilly-dallying.
"Good!"
Cao Pi nodded in satisfaction.”
"Yes!"
A moment later, a thousand soldiers were ready to go.
"Kill them!"
As Yu Jin raised his saber and shouted, the 1,000 elite soldiers followed Yu Jin into the city.
The thousand elite soldiers were extremely fast. They passed through the city gate and quickly disappeared from everyone's sight.
In the time it took to brew a cup of tea.
Yu Jin led these 1,000 elite soldiers and charged over from the city.
"Second Young Master, don't be scared out of your wits. There's no one in this city!”
Hearing Yu Jin's words, Cao Pi's expression darkened. He glanced at Sima Yi, who was resting with his eyes closed, and his eyes were filled with dissatisfaction.
Cao Pi waved his hand and shouted,"
"Enter the city!"
Da! Da! Da!
Cao Pi's chariot was the first to cross the moat and enter Xiapi City.
As Yu Jin said, there was no one in the city!
Cao Pi couldn't help but laugh coldly,"Cao Biao, at least you escaped quickly!”
