Survival Three Kingdoms

Chapter 202 Ambush on Three Sides
"Of course I'm going. Yuan Shu is nothing to worry about. What I fancy is that he has 1000 soldiers and horses. I want to take them for my own use. For this battle, I can go with Yide. Yun Chang takes [-] troops to Pengcheng , make preparations with Mi Zhu, and counterattack Xuzhou when I return to the army." Liu Bei said the plan he had planned long ago, and Guan Yu led the order to go, then Liu Bei ordered Zhang Fei to be the vanguard and himself to be the rear, and went straight to Yuan Shu. The army went away.

More than a hundred miles east of Shouchun, Liu Bei's army encountered Yuan Shu. Zhang Fei led the army and overwhelmed Yuan Shu's army.Shangshu Yang Hong led a thousand personal guards to protect the prince Yuan Yao and carried Yuan Shu's body across the river to join Sun Ce. Son of Sun Quan.

Liu Bei and Zhang Fei gathered Yuan Shu's five thousand soldiers, stopped chasing Yuan Yao, and immediately went north to Pengcheng.

Besides, after Guan Yu arrived in Pengcheng, he explained Liu Bei's plan to Mi Zhu and Jian Yong. The two were full of enthusiasm, hoping to finally bring Liu Bei back for more than half a year.Since occupying Pengcheng, the two have secretly recruited troops and horses, accumulated grass and stored food. Together with the original troops, there are already 8000 people in Pengcheng. The fly in the ointment is the lack of armor. Some people can only use sticks and hoes.

"Report. Che Zhou, governor of Xuzhou, led an army of [-]. He said that he was ordered to assist in the crusade against Yuan Shu. He has now left the city. Please go and talk." A soldier came to report.Mi Zhu was the prefect of Pengcheng appointed by Cao Cao, and Che Zhou was the governor of Xuzhou, who happened to be his immediate boss.

"Why is he here?" Mi Zhu asked suspiciously.

"It's just in time." Guan Yu said, stroking his beautiful long beard, "I thought it would take a lot of trouble to capture Xuzhou, so he took the initiative to send it to the door. Zi Zhongke went to welcome him into the city, and I am in ambush inside the city."

After receiving Cao Cao's secret order, Che Zhou led his troops to Pengcheng, intending to cut off Liu Bei's way back.Seeing that Mi Zhu came to greet him with only a few servants, he didn't become suspicious. He boldly led more than a thousand people and Mi Zhu into the city, only wanting to take over Pengcheng's defense after entering the city.

"I don't know that Lord Inspector is coming, but I'm far away to welcome you, and I ask you to make amends. My lord, please come this way." Mi Zhu said politely, and invited the chariot to the city.

"Hehe, it's easy to say." As soon as he entered the city gate, Che Zhou heard a loud roar: "Guan Yu is here!"

Immediately afterwards, I saw a general come out from behind the city wall with a green dragon Yanyue knife in his hand, with a green robe and a red face, he could not be Guan Yu!Why is he here?Che Zhou couldn't bear to think too much, so he immediately drew his gun to meet him.

At this time, it was too late for Che Zhou to do anything, so Guan Yu chopped down Che Zhou with a knife in his hand, causing Che Zhou to die with regret.

Guan Yu jumped on his horse holding a knife, and shouted: "Che Zhou is dead, why don't you surrender?"

Behind him, five thousand soldiers shouted together, "Surrender! Surrender! Surrender!"

Most of Che Zhou's subordinates, who saw that the situation was not good enough to escape, were overwhelmed by Guan Yu's supernatural power, abandoned their weapons and surrendered, adding more than 6000 people.

Ten days later, Liu Bei and Zhang Fei led 5000 people to Pengcheng. They joined forces, and the total strength reached nearly 3. It's in my pocket."

Liu Bei immediately sent Guan Yu five thousand soldiers to capture Xuzhou City, and Zhang Fei five thousand soldiers to take Xiapi, and he, Guan Ping, Mi Zhu, and Jian Yong defended Pengcheng.

Guan Yu led 5000 people to Xuzhou, and saw that the city was quiet, Guan Yu held a knife, and ordered the pawns to come to the city with the head of the chariot, and shouted: "The chariot is dead, don't you wait to open the city and surrender? "

"Hahaha, why did Yun Chang come here at this time?"

Guan Yu hurriedly looked up to the top of the city, only to see banners fluttering in an instant, with a big "Zhou" character on the banner.One of the generals under his banner, with a dark complexion, was Zhou Cang.Looking to both sides of him, there are four or five generals, thousands of people holding bows and arrows, and the arrows have been wound.

"Why is General Zhou here?" Guan Yu asked even though he already had the answer in his heart.

"Why did General Guan come here? Please forgive me, Zhou Cang can't entertain the general today. Yun Chang is going, so I can give him a ride." After Zhou Cang received Cao Cao's secret order, he did not send troops according to Cao Cao's intention , but stared at Xuzhou, and after seeing Che Zhou out of the city, he took down Xuzhou and surrendered 5000 people in the city.

In Guangling, Zhang Jai, Gan Ning, and Chen Deng were left to lead [-] troops to guard against Sun Ce.

Guan Yu squinted his eyes and stared at Zhou Cang, "General Zhou's kindness, Guan's understanding, I didn't expect that General Zhou would take the lead. Guan will leave here and see you in the future!" After finishing speaking, he pulled the horse and led the army to retreat. It was impossible to attack the city , I only have 5000 people, and it seems that there are at least more than [-] people in the city. Forcibly attacking the city is asking for trouble.

Zhou Cang left Pei Yuanshao and Chen Dao with [-] troops and Zhou Wen to garrison Xuzhou. He, Dian Wei, Hua Xiong, and Qu'a led [-] troops to follow Guan Yu for [-] li.

Liu Bei was still waiting in Pengcheng for the news of Guan Zhang's victory, and he was still proud: This series of arrangements would surely catch Cao Cao off guard, and he would take Xuzhou in a flash. With 2 horses in his hand, he could defend for a while.Then form an alliance with Yuan Shao, invite Yuan Shao to go south, and cooperate with Yuan Tan to rely on each other to counter Cao Cao.It was too late for Cao Cao to react. At that time, Cao Cao would definitely not be able to take care of himself when he was attacked on three sides. I could sit firmly in Xuzhou, recruit troops and buy horses, and be my own Xuzhou shepherd.

In the evening, Liu Bei asked Jian Yong and Mi Zhu to drink two glasses of wine with him, preparing for a good night's sleep.Before falling asleep, Liu Bei was woken up by Jian Yong, "My lord, something is wrong, please come and report it. Cao Cao personally led an army of [-], and now it is less than [-] miles away from Pengcheng."

Liu Bei broke out in a cold sweat. Why did Cao Cao come so fast? He acted fast enough. It will take half a month before Cao Cao gets the news, and there are more than ten days to prepare. At that time, he has already occupied Xuzhou. An alliance has already been formed with Yuan Shao and Yuan Tan.Could it be that Cao Cao had already prepared?Or what happened to Dong Cheng?God, thanks to myself for escaping from Xudu.What should I do if the two brothers are not around?run.

"My lord, don't panic. I think our plan this time is very auspicious, and we can kill Che Zhou smoothly. Cao Cao couldn't have predicted all of this, so even if Cao Cao got the news, this time the troops must be dispatched in a hurry, exhausted all the way, and the troops are exhausted. We can Take advantage of the fact that he has not set up his camp yet, and when the men and horses are sleeping soundly, go and attack him, Cao's bandits will be defeated, and Xuzhou will be safe."

"What time is it?" Liu Bei asked while dressing.

"After the second watch, it's less than the third watch."

"Okay, wake up the soldiers immediately. Eat at three o'clock and set off at four o'clock. Tanzhi is the vanguard. I will personally lead 1 people to intercept the camp. You and Zizhong will guard the city, and another person will be sent to inform Yunchang and Yide to come back quickly. "
