Survival Three Kingdoms

Chapter 183 Trading
Cao Cao watched from afar the last sergeant who was trapped in the camp screamed up to the sky and fell heroically, and murmured, "What a pity, what a pity. It is impossible to reorganize such a team again."

Zhang Xiu and Le Jin entangled Lv Bu, Xiahou Dun's army defeated and fell into the camp, and continued to fight with Lv Bu's army.Cao Xing has been hiding under the big banner and staring at Xiahou Dun for a long time. Seeing that Xiahou Dun personally led the troops to kill, he secretly drew his bow and set up an arrow to shoot at Xiahou Dun. He dodged, but he didn't dodge completely, and the arrow hit his left eye, and he couldn't help shouting "Oops!" He tried not to fall off the horse.

In order to stabilize the morale of the army, Xiahoudun did not dare to retreat, and fought hard while roaring enduring the pain. Lu Bu's men were all shocked when they saw Xiahoudun was still fighting with an arrow stuck in his eye, bleeding all over his face.Cao Cao saw it in the formation and quickly sent Xu Chu to snatch Xiahou Dun back.

The two armies fought a battle, unable to bargain for each other's advantage, each lost thousands of soldiers and horses, and each retreated.On Cao Cao's side, Xiahou Dun was injured and unable to fight again. Cao Cao felt sad and sent someone to send Xiahou Dun back to Xudu to recover from his injuries.On Lu Bu's side, the entire army in the camp was wiped out, and the only remaining Bingzhou wolf cavalry suffered heavy casualties in front of the tiger and leopard cavalry. It's not that the individual soldiers are not strong in combat. One is that the source of troops has not been replenished and trained, and the other is the lack of Zhang Liao and Hao Meng. The command of two generals.

Losing his elite, Lu Bu jumped into a rage, reprimanded Wei Xu and others, kicked Wei Xu to the ground, kicked him a few times, and yelled at "idiots". As for forgetting the reward that Cao Xing should have.

Lü Bu was very upset at the failure of the first battle. He paced around in the camp when Hou Cheng turned his eyes and came forward to offer advice. "General, Cao Cao came from a long distance, so he must not bring much food and grass with him. If the general leads an army to cut off Cao Cao's food road, then Cao Cao will collapse without fighting."

"Not bad, not bad, there is progress." Lu Bu patted Hou Cheng on the shoulder, "This battle is successful, thanks to your contribution." After hearing this, Wei Xu and Cao Xing felt very uncomfortable.

Lu Bu ordered: "I will personally lead three thousand troops to intercept the grain. You wait to guard the camp firmly and make sure that the camp is safe!"

Cao Cao didn't know that Lu Bu had led his army back to the rear of Cao's army. In order to improve morale, he sent Zhang Xiu to challenge in front of the camp, but the Xuzhou soldiers could not hold out.After two days in a row, Xun You turned pale with shock and came to see Cao Cao: "My lord, something is wrong. Lu Bu is not in the camp. He will definitely go to intercept our army's food road."

The lack of food and grass is the eternal pain in Cao Cao's heart. What should we do?Lü Bu is fierce, who should he send to meet him? He turned his head and saw Xu Chu, "Zhang Xiu and Xu Chu are ordered to lead an army of [-] to rescue and guard the food road. Cao Xiu led [-] tiger and leopard riders, and then responded. "

Zhang Xiu and Xu Chu met the defeated soldiers not far along the grain road, and told them that the grain and grass had been intercepted by Lv Bu. The two hurriedly chased after Lu Bu. , ordered the grain carts to be burned, and he shook Fang Tian's halberd to fight.

"You are defeated, how dare you come to fight?" Lu Bu said disdainfully when he saw Zhang Xiu.Zhang Xiu didn't answer, and Xu Chu ran to Lv Bu with swords and guns.Xu Chu's broadsword was powerful and heavy, Zhang Xiu's tiger-headed spear was tricky and vicious, but unfortunately they met Lu Bu, who was elusive with a painted halberd. After thirty rounds, Zhang and Xu gradually revealed their defeat, and the two dared not retreat in a deadly battle.

Seeing that Lu Bu was about to win, the dust was flying in the distance, a group of men and horses rushed in front of him, and the next person was sitting on a black horse with a snake spear in his hand, and it was Zhang Fei and Zhang Yide who came. "Slave with three surnames, do you still recognize your grandfather Zhang?"

Lu Bu knew that Zhang Fei was not just waiting for someone to do nothing. Seeing that Cao Jun's food and grass had been burned, he didn't dare to fight. Lu Bu was defeated and escaped alone with the red rabbit horse.

After Liu Bei arrived in Pengcheng in advance, he sent Zhang Fei to cut off the escape route between Pengcheng and Xuzhou, and Guan Yu cut off the passage between Pengcheng and Xiapi.Zhang Liao challenged several times, but Liu Bei ignored it, just to kill Zhang Liao's patience.After Zhang Liao received Lv Bu's order to retreat to Pi, he became more anxious and came to call for battle every day.More than ten days later, Liu Bei felt that the time was ripe, and Guan Yu took the initiative to ask Ying to lobby Zhang Liao.

When Zhang Liao made an appointment to fight again, Guan Yu came to the front of the battle with a sword in hand to talk to Zhang Liao. "Wen Yuan thinks he can beat Guan?"

Zhang Liao didn't know what Guan Yu meant, "Since you are here to fight, you and I will fight to see if we win or lose."

Guan Yu shook his head and said, "I also want to compete with you, but now is not the time."

Zhang Liao was even more confused, "What do you mean?"

"I want to let you leave Pengcheng, but you need to leave food and [-] soldiers." Guan Yu said directly.

"Hehe, to put it lightly, you are delusional!" Zhang Liao was furious.

"Wen Yuan realizes that even if he goes out, how many soldiers and horses will he have left? What's more, can you beat me and Yide?"

Zhang Liao pondered for a while and said, "Why did you do this?"

"Xuzhou originally belonged to my lord Liu Bei, but was captured by Lu Bu, so he had to condescend to Cao Cao. Does Wenyuan understand?" If he hadn't been in a hurry to go to Xuzhou, Guan Yu would not have been so patient and entangled with Zhang Liao.

"Since that's the case, I will believe you. See you tomorrow!" Zhang Liao said and rode back to the city.

Song Xian looked confused from the top of the city, "Why didn't Wen Yuan fight Guan Yu when he left the city?"

Zhang Liao didn't dare to tell Song Xian the real situation, and Song Xian would tell Lu Bu what to say if the security was not complete. "Then Guan Yu wanted to persuade me to surrender. I was going to refuse, but when I thought about it, I told him that I would think about it again."

Song Xian's expression immediately changed, "Is Wen Yuan going to surrender?"

"I'm not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death. I'm trying to stabilize him and prevent Liu Bei from being on guard. Tomorrow you and I will lead the army out of the city and kill him when he is not prepared. It's just that he suspects that we can't take all the soldiers out. , can only bring five thousand elites and the food and grass accompanying the army."

"Why is this? This is not cheap Liu Bei, why don't you burn the granary in the city?"

"If you do that, Liu Bei will find out immediately, and we won't have a chance to return to Xiapi. You can go and pick out the elite now, and leave the old, weak and sick in the city, and it won't do me any harm."

Song Xian gave a thumbs up, "Wen Yuan is brilliant, I'll go right away."

The next day, Zhang Liao and Song Xian led [-] troops out of the city, and Guan Yu came to see him as promised.Zhang Liao signaled slightly to Guan Yu, and then slashed at Guan Yu with his horse-wheel knife. Guan Yu held the Qinglong Yanyue knife and rode in. The two fought for more than ten rounds. Song Xian called five thousand soldiers and horses to charge forward. Xian rushed to Xiapi.

The old, the weak, the sick, and the disabled surrendered in Kaicheng. Liu Bei led the army into Pengcheng. Then Liu Bei left Mi Zhu, Jian Yong and [-] elite surrendered troops from Yuan Shu to defend Pengcheng, and took Zhang Fei as the vanguard to join Cao Cao.Zhang Fei just caught up with Lü Bu to intercept the grain and defeated Lv Bu.
