Liu Qi, the hegemon of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 568
Pengcheng...

A city that Liu Qi wanted to take, but was not taken because of the death of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty.

It also belongs to Liu Bei's territory.

Since Liu Bei founded the country.

Pengcheng was also guarded by Guan Yu's adopted son, Guan Ping and Guan Tanzhi, with Mi Zhu and Mi Zizhong assisting him.

There are [-] soldiers stationed in the city.

Moreover, Xiapi, not far from Pengcheng, is also stationed with [-] soldiers, led by Mi Zhu's younger brother Mi Fang and Mi Zifang.

The two places watched each other.

After Liu Bei established the Qi State, he also announced that he would unite with Sun Quan.

Although the two were only a verbal alliance, under the threat of Liu Qi, they can be regarded as a somewhat solid existence.

Unless there is no threat from Liu Qi, or there is a chance to kill with one blow.

Otherwise, the verbal alliance between the two would not be easily disintegrated, and they knew very well that if there was a dispute between them, it would just give Liu Qi a chance to annihilate them.

Fighting alone, they didn't have much chance of winning against Liu Qi, and they lost more than they won.

Especially Liu Bei, after the previous battle, he was so injured that he had not fully recovered even after recuperating for several months.

And Sun Quan is better, but he doesn't want to face Liu Qi's army alone, and it is also a good way to temporarily unite with Liu Bei.

I also thought about Cao Cao, but with Liu Qi separating them, it is impossible to truly unite, and the union with Cao Cao will not be stable.

After all, Cao Cao's power is considered the largest now, and joining with him is similar to seeking skin with a tiger.

but.

Although Liu Bei and Sun Quan are united together, they are still vigilant against each other to prevent the other party from having any bad thoughts.

From the soldiers and horses stationed in Pengcheng and Shouchun, it can be seen that they are not only guarding against Liu Qi's soldiers and horses, but also guarding against the opponent.

Or to see if there is a chance to annihilate the opponent.

……

In Pengcheng.

Guan Ping followed his usual habits and inspected the affairs of the city wall before walking down the city wall and returning to his mansion.

He is also very clear.

Today's Central Plains looks calm on the surface, but it is undercurrents. If there is any negligence, it may cause a big mistake.

It is not only to guard against the Han army stationed in Qiao County, but also to guard against the Wu army as an ally.

He was attacked by surprise before and lost Qiao County, and he was also disgusted by Liu Bei. If it weren't for his adoptive father Guan Yu, and now Liu Bei has no generals to use, maybe he wouldn't be stationed in Pengcheng now.

Thinking of his adoptive father Guan Yu, and Liu Bei who has changed a lot now, he also feels a headache.

But this matter is also fleeting in his mind. After all, there are some things that he cannot guess.

Guan Ping, who returned to the mansion, took a look at the sky and saw that it was already dark, so he was about to change his armor and go to bed.

however.

Just as he was about to lift his armor.

Beep, beep, beep...

A footstep appeared outside his door, followed by a rapid knock on the door.

"General, something has happened!"

Before Guan Ping could ask anything, a voice sounded from outside the door, and the tone was also full of anxiety.

squeak~

No hesitation.

Guan Ping didn't care about removing the armor, he walked quickly to the door, opened the door, and said, "What's the matter?"

"General, please leave the mansion, there are soldiers coming from Xiapi!" The soldier outside the door cupped his hands.

"Let's go!" Guan Ping didn't hesitate, and quickly stepped out of the door, heading out of the mansion.

soon.

Guan Ping and the soldier who reported also came to the gate of the mansion.

I see.

In front of the gate of the mansion, apart from the few soldiers guarding the mansion, there was also a soldier covered in dust and his armor was stained with blood, looking very embarrassed.

Seeing Guan Ping coming out, the panic-stricken soldier also quickly rushed to Guan Ping, knelt down and said anxiously: "General, quickly lead the troops to rescue Xiapi, if it is too late, it will be too late!"

"Get up quickly and explain what's going on in detail!" Guan Ping said.

He also recognized this soldier as Mi Fang's confidant, and when he saw the appearance of this soldier, he also had bad thoughts in his heart.

"General, the Wu army broke their promises and attacked Xiapi. General Mi led his troops to defend to the death, and asked his subordinates to break out of the siege to report and ask for reinforcements!"

"Wu Jun? How many soldiers and horses are there? And how did Wu Jun come here? Why didn't our army's scouts receive any news?"

Guan Ping was also in a bit of a mess, and he didn't expect such a thing to happen.

The main thing is that their scouts are also monitoring Wu Jun's movements, but they have not received any information that Wu Jun has any signs of leaving Shouchun.

"It is indeed the flag of the Wu army, and it seems that the Wu army suddenly appeared around Xiapi. When night fell, they suddenly launched an attack. Because the subordinates broke through the siege, they did not pay attention to how many soldiers and horses there were, but they noticed It is all over the mountains and plains, and there will never be less than 1 people!" said the soldier.

heard.

Guan Ping also frowned, and then said to his relatives: "Go to Master Mi!"

He also knew that Xiapi could not be lost, otherwise, Pengcheng would be in danger.

What's more, the general stationed at Xiapi was Mi Fang, Mi Zhu's younger brother, and Mi Zhu also helped him a lot, and he was an upright person.

No matter what, the matter still needs to be discussed with Mi Zhu.

"promise!"

Guan Ping's confidant didn't hesitate either, he cupped his hands, put his hand on his saber, and ran towards a place in the street quickly.

He also knew the urgency of the matter and did not dare to delay.

"You go to my mansion to bandage first, rest for a while, and make a decision after Master Mi comes!" Guan Ping said to the soldier.

"promise!"

Mi Fang's cronies didn't object either.

After all, he is also very clear that sending troops to rescue does not mean sending troops just by sending troops, and there are many things to consider.

And it also needs to be discussed before making a decision.

Even if he was anxious, it was useless, he could only pray that he would be quicker, and that he would be able to persevere, that's all.

immediately.

Guan Ping also brought Mi Fang's cronies into the mansion to settle down.

While waiting for Mi Zhu's arrival.

It is also to let the cronies gather the soldiers and horses and make all the preparations. Once a decision is made, they can start immediately without waiting for the soldiers and horses to gather again.

It would have been too long that way.

And Guan Ping did not change his armor, ready to set off at any time.

The time when something happened also felt very long.

Guan Ping was also walking back and forth in the hall, waiting for Mi Zhu's arrival.

At the same time, it also relieves the anxiety in my heart.
