Every soldier in Cao's army was well fed and watered, because they knew that their goal this time was to rob, and they did not have to worry about being held accountable by the government.

So the soldiers of Cao's army were more ferocious than each other. They wanted to plunder Dongjun to let Cao Cao know that they were rich.

Liu Bei even personally led his troops to charge into battle, leaving no grass behind and rivers of blood wherever they passed.

This made Xu Shu and others extremely angry.

"My lord, why do you go into the battlefield to fight in person? You should know that you are the governor of Yanzhou, a person worth millions of gold." Chen Gong said to Liu Bei with great sorrow.

Liu Bei laughed out loud: "Yuan Hao, you don't need to persuade me. I know what you are thinking.

We are fighting for our country now, how can I hide behind?

We are all loyal subjects of the Han Dynasty, how can we sit back and do nothing? "

Chen Gong was speechless. It was really not easy for Liu Bei to have such a broad mind.

What Chen Gong didn't know was that Liu Bei's reputation wasn't very good before, and he was just pretending now.

Liu Bei knew that Cao Cao would not give up easily, so he had to show a tough attitude to make Cao Cao afraid.

"Since the lord is so determined, I will not try to persuade him any more. Don't worry, we will definitely defend Dongjun." Chen Gong firmly believed that he could defend Dongjun.

Chen Gong's words were supported by everyone. They were now in the same boat, and would live and die together.

"My lord, the remnants of the Yellow Turbans in Dongjun have launched a rebellion." The scout reported.

"It's just as I expected. Pass the order down, the entire army is on alert and ready to fight." Liu Bei said calmly.

Liu Bei's order reached the army, and the soldiers, who were still immersed in the joy of victory, immediately woke up and began to prepare for battle.

Liu Bei, Xu Shu and others were watching from the city wall.

"My lord, you see there is a small hill. Why don't we set up an ambush there? When they get close, we will give them a devastating blow." Xu Shu pointed to a small hill in the distance.

"That's right." Liu Bei agreed with Xu Shu's plan.

Cao's cavalry soon reached the outskirts of Dongjun, and they found that the city of Dongjun was brightly lit. Cao's scouts were frightened, as this did not seem like a sign of defending the city.

After the scout reported the news, Xun Yu immediately convened an emergency meeting.

Xun Yu was a very intelligent man. He was worried that this was a conspiracy designed by Xu Shu. Moreover, Dongjun was too peaceful, which gave him a bad feeling.

"My lord, I feel that the villain Xu Shu has always been cunning and scheming. He is so calm now, there must be something he is up to." Xun You said.

Xun Yu nodded in agreement. He also had such a guess. Xu Shu was too cunning. He always felt that there was something fishy about this matter.

"Fengxiao, do you think Xu Shu is playing tricks?" Xun Yu asked Guo Jia.

Guo Jia said with a smile: "Mr. Wenruo, no matter how powerful Xu Shu's tricks are, he is still a weak scholar. How can he compare with Fengxiao? Fengxiao's talent is unrivaled in ancient and modern times."

"Fengxiao, stop flattering Mr. Wenruo. We need to think about countermeasures now." Jia Xu reminded.

Everyone looked at Guo Jia.

Guo Jia smiled faintly: "Gentlemen, this is just Xu Shu's trick.

Dongjun has had a good harvest in recent years, the people are prosperous, and the granaries are well stocked.

Even if Xu Shu had great courage, he would not dare to attack Dongjun in the short term. If Xu Shu dared to take a gamble with me, then he would not be Xu Shu. "

Guo Jia's analysis is very objective, but his speculation cannot be denied.

Xun Yu thought for a moment and said, "Xu Shu is indeed as cunning as a fox. If he dares to do this, he must have a way to solve the problem of food and grass. But we must prevent him from using treacherous tricks to catch us off guard."

Xun Yu still didn't want to believe that Xu Shu would be able to break into the city in such a short time. After all, Xu Shu couldn't possibly have the courage to do so. "Mr. Wen Ruo, you are worrying too much. Xu Shu couldn't possibly be so brave, unless he didn't want to live anymore.

Besides, we have no food supply now, so Xu Shu can't have any other solution." Guo Jia shook his head and said.

"That's right. No matter what happens to Xu Shu, we just have to defend Dongjun to the death." Xun Yu sighed.

The soldiers of Cao's army were very excited. They couldn't wait to see the elite strength of Liu Bei's troops.

When Liu Bei saw Cao's army getting closer, he immediately ordered an attack on the city.

Liu Bei's troops rushed forward and launched a frenzied attack on the defenders of Dongjun.

The defenders of Dongjun did not expect Cao's army to launch a direct attack and they immediately panicked.

"Archers, shoot and kill the enemies!" Xu Shu shouted.

Xu Shu led the archers and crossbowmen to shoot at Cao's army.

Although Cao's army was well prepared, their number of soldiers was too small. Facing the attack of archers, they suffered heavy losses. Some soldiers were injured or fell down after being pierced by crossbow arrows.

When Liu Bei saw that Xu Shu had the upper hand, he immediately changed his battle plan. Liu Bei attacked from the flank. His troops outnumbered those of the Dongjun defenders, so he had the most opportunities for a frontal attack and could reduce losses.

Liu Bei's actions immediately attracted Xu Shu's attention.

Xu Shu knew that this battle was inevitable, so he adjusted his deployment and sent three thousand troops to intercept Liu Bei.

Both sides were cavalry, and in terms of speed, Xu Shu was a little slower, which resulted in him failing to stop Liu Bei.

Liu Bei went around behind the Dongjun garrison and prepared for a surprise attack.

Liu Bei led the cavalry to the rear of the Dongjun defenders. He saw that the Dongjun defenders had no vigilance at all, and a slight smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Everyone listen up and follow me to charge." Liu Bei roared and led the cavalry to charge towards the Dongjun defenders.

Cao's cavalry also followed Liu Bei and launched a charge.

Liu Bei's cavalry quickly rushed into the formation of the Dongjun defenders. The Cao cavalry jumped off their horses, holding spears, and began to attack the Dongjun defenders.

The defenders of Dongjun did not expect that Liu Bei and his men would be so shameless as to launch a sneak attack from behind them.

The Dongjun defenders fell into chaos. Liu Bei's cavalry quickly found Xu Shu's position and stabbed him with a spear.

"Protect Yuan Zhi!" Dian Wei shouted and stood in front of Xu Shu.

Xu Shu exclaimed: "Dian Man, be careful!"

Dian Wei didn't notice the attack of Liu Bei's cavalry just now because Liu Bei's cavalry was still some distance away from them.

But Liu Bei's cavalry actually launched an attack from behind him. Dian Wei reacted at this time.

Liu Bei's cavalry was very fierce and knocked Dian Wei away in one fell swoop.

Xu Shu was furious, Dian Wei was his only brother, so he ran over to check on Dian Wei.

Fortunately, Dian Wei only suffered minor injuries and no broken bones.

"Damn Liu Bei, he actually attacked me." Dian Wei stood up, extremely angry.

Liu Bei's cavalry took advantage of the victory and pursued the enemy, forcing the Dongjun defenders to retreat.

"Yuanzhi, what should we do now?" Dian Wei said anxiously. (End of this chapter)
