Chapter 53 The Battle of Xuzhou
With all the injuries, Li Pu directed everyone on the scene to deal with it properly, and then went to rest.

"What! Is Hangu Pass broken? Li Li was killed by Pan Feng!" Li Jue kicked the soldiers who came to report the letter.

"Impossible! Hangu Pass is a rare dangerous pass in the world. How could it be broken so easily by Pan Feng!" Li Jue couldn't believe it.

Li Jue had full confidence in Hangu Pass. There were only [-] guards guarding the pass. He specially sent Li Li to bring [-] soldiers to support him.

In Li Jue's expectation, Hangu Pass can last at least two months later.

Ma Tenghan was defeated and retreated to Xiliang, and it was impossible for him to have spare energy to cooperate with Pan Feng's attack in a short time. Pan Feng was blocked from Hangu Pass again, and he had enough time to face the [-] army led by Zhang He.

But now that Pan Feng broke through in two days, Pan Feng will appear in Tongguan in a few days.

Fighting with Pan Feng at the same time is what Li Jue doesn't want to see.

Moreover, Chang'an was already affected by disasters this year, and there was insufficient food and grass. Now the two sides are fighting at the same time, and the number of people eating horses is an astronomical number.

It doesn't matter if you can give the soldiers some porridge or something, but if you give the soldiers porridge in a war, the morale may collapse without hitting yourself.

I bought your life for you, you TM can't bear to even have a dry mouth!Simply anti-dog day!
Therefore, the difference between the consumption of grain and grass during wartime and non-wartime can even reach three or four times the gap.

Li Jue was a little scared, Pan Feng, who had a huge impact on the world, plus the [-] army of Bingzhou...

"Come on!"

"General."

.........

"Pan Feng has already broken through Hangu Pass, and it took less than two days."

Cao Cao took the letter and handed it to Guo Jia.

Cao Cao raised an army to avenge his father Cao Song, and is now entering Xuzhou at a critical moment.

I thought that Pan Feng's attack on Hangu Pass would take at least a month even with Pan Feng's bravery.

Tongguan has more people and more dangerous terrain. Even if Cao Cao overestimates Pan Feng, it will take at least three months. If it is not so smooth, it is possible for half a year.

But I didn't expect Li Pu to break the city in two days, and Cao Cao didn't know what would happen.

In the event that Pan Feng takes down Chang'an, almost the entire north is in Pan Feng's hands, which is not good news for Cao Cao.

"It seems that we have underestimated Pan Feng." Guo Jia read the letter and handed it to Cheng Yu.

"Once Pan Feng takes down Chang'an, no one in the entire north can be called Pan Feng's opponent except us."

"Fengxiao means..."

"After Pan Feng conquers Chang'an, the next target must be us."

"The order goes on! Speed ​​up the march!"

Can't wait any longer, Cao Cao felt that his time was running out.

If he can't take Xuzhou while Li Pu is fighting Chang'an, and fight against Li Pu with only one state, no matter how optimistic he is, Cao Cao can't see any hope.

The only way to do it now is to make a quick decision, win Xuzhou, gather Xuzhou's money and food population, and gather all the soldiers, and then there is a glimmer of hope for a decisive battle with Li Pu.

.........

"Now Cao Cao is going to attack my Xuzhou, and I am very sorry for killing Cao Cao's father by mistake, but the big mistake has been made. I only want Cao Cao to kill me and not hurt my Xuzhou people."

Tao Qian's face of remorse, coupled with tears, made everyone present look very sad.

Tao Qian was naturally prepared when Cao Cao led troops to attack, Tao Qian was stationed in Pengcheng with an army of [-].

The city walls of Pengcheng are tall and suitable for defending.

Tao Qian knew that he killed Cao Song himself and had nothing to do with others, but how could he just send it to Cao Cao to kill?

At this time, whether Tao Qian deliberately killed Cao Song, or whether his subordinates wanted to make money, it didn't matter anymore.

Cao Cao needs a territory to add to his power, and Tao Qian understands that once the city of Xuzhou is destroyed, not only himself, but also his family and people will be killed.

So Tao Qian staged this scene in front of many minions.

Just to let everyone work together to fight against Cao Cao.

And Liu Bei was also on the list.

After Liu Bei and Guan Yu escaped from Jixian that day, they felt that the world was so vast that they had nowhere to go.

Later, I accidentally learned that Xuzhou Tao Qian was recruiting various forces to conspire to conspire together. Tao Qian wanted to invade Chang'an to save the emperor.

Liu Bei learned that he rushed to Xuzhou to meet Tao Qian.

Tao Qian saw that Liu Bei was arrogant and he was a descendant of the royal family, so he sent Liu Bei to be stationed in Xiapi.

Xiapi is not a small place, but a county, but at that time the defender of Xiapi rebelled and actually claimed to be the emperor.

Tao Qianzheng didn't know what to do when Liu Bei arrived.

So Tao Qian appointed Liu Bei to be stationed in Xiapi, but Liu Bei actually killed the rebel generals in Xiapi in January and gathered his soldiers.

Now that Liu Bei is also a prince with [-] soldiers in Xiapi, how could Tao Qian forget Liu Bei when he fought against Cao Cao?
"Don't worry, Duke Tao, for revenge, Cao Cao has made plans for Xuzhou, and he will never allow Cao Cao to step into Xuzhou half a step."

Liu Bei stepped aside and bowed to Tao Qian.

Liu Bei's ideal is to help the Han family, no matter what he thinks in his heart, but he has indeed been working hard in this direction.

Now that Tao Qian has given him what he has always wanted, he is naturally respectful to Tao Qian.

Now Cao Cao is aggressively attacking Xuzhou, not only attacking Tao Qian, but also attacking him.

Will Cao Cao let Liu Bei lead a county alone after he conquers Xuzhou?

impossible.

Walking out of Tao Qian's mansion, it was already late.

Pedestrians on the road passed in front of Liu Bei in twos and threes. Liu Bei looked at the three people who were walking in front of him, then looked at the north, and then sighed.

"Why is the big brother sighing?"

"Hey, since I know that the third brother has surrendered to Han Fu because of our reasons, I have been thinking about the third brother day and night. Although I have a small foundation, my brothers are separated from each other. Why don't you let me feel sad."

Liu Bei said that tears were about to fall, and Guan Yu quickly comforted him.

"Although my three brothers are separated from each other, the two chapters between Yide and Pan Feng do not violate the oath that my three brothers made that day, not to mention that the eldest brother now has his own fief, if the third brother knows, he will be not far away. Come to vote, it's a pity the third brother..."

Guan Yu shook his head as he spoke. He had nothing to say about Zhang Fei's loyalty. If one day he was captured and had no choice but to surrender, he would definitely make a deal with that person for three chapters.

But he didn't have any hope for Zhang Fei's mind. If it was a war, his third brother might have a flash of inspiration, but it was really difficult for him to prepare for it, listen to news, and cast thousands of miles.

"But it's okay, this time we defeat Cao Cao, and we will be famous all over the world, and the third brother may know our news."

Guan Yu continued to comfort him, and Liu Bei stopped crying.
