Early in the morning of the next day, Cao Jun began to attack the four gates of Pengcheng at the same time.

Tao Qian recurred from his old illness, so he had to recuperate in the mansion. The defense of the city gate was entrusted to Liu Bei for the time being.

"Uncle Liu, Cao's offensive today is obviously stronger than yesterday's. obviously, he deliberately showed weakness yesterday."

Mi Zhu said anxiously.

Liu Bei nodded slightly: "this Cao Cao really used his army like a God. In his early years, when he was in the party, the son of heaven, who was in charge of the general at that time, once talked about the princes of the world. His majesty once said that those who could serve in the world should not come from Cao mengde's right. At that time, he did not realize that his Majesty was really wise and wise

Chen Deng immediately agreed: "the battle against the city, especially Pengcheng, is very time-consuming. Our city has enough food and grass to fight for a long time. As long as it is delayed for a few to ten days, the enemy will be indolent and the soldiers will be tired. But Cao Cao had a good command. He divided the siege soldiers outside each city gate into three groups, alternating back and forth. What's more, they cooperated with each other so well. There would be no confusion when they changed their positions. Although they were famous generals in ancient times, they did not have any confusion. "

"How can you boast?" Zhang Fei is not happy.

"If you want me to say, it's better to rush out. Even if you can't kill the thief Cao, you can at least break through the encirclement and stop the XiahouDun. Otherwise, if you ask that fellow to enter Donglai County, the territory that elder brother finally won won will be robbed again? It's not very good. "

Jiang Huan said: "Donglai county does not expect to lose. This county has been run by my three brothers for many years. Every city has been reinforced. The eldest brother is benevolent and the common people return to their hearts. Tian Yuanhao and Shen Zhengnan are the two gentlemen who command 25000 troops to guard the county. XiahouDun is a martial arts man, so it is hard to attack. "

Liu Bei looked calm and looked ahead. After hearing Jiang Huan's words, he immediately said: "not only that. Cao Cao sent out troops in the name of revenge for his father, but my three brothers had nothing to do with it. He broke my way into Chengyang County, which was the limit. If he forcibly attacked Donglai County, he could give the imperial court an excuse to send troops. Cao Cao's mind is absolutely not clear. "

"Then I have to kill out. Hiding in the city is too cowardly. My old Zhang can't fight such a battle."

Zhang Fei was holding Zhangba snake spear with a look of impatience.

Liu Bei was about to dissuade him, but Jiang Huan first said, "brother, I think it's a good thing to let the third brother go out of the city for a while."

"Ha ha, the second brother knows me." Zhang Fei hugged Jiang Huan.

Liu Bei was stunned: "what's the answer?"

Jiang Huan patiently explained: "in the four gates of the city, the north gate has the largest number of enemies, about 40000, and the East and west gate has about 30000. Only the south gate has the least enemy, about 20000 up and down. I expect that Cao Cao wants to attack the north gate and attract the main force of the city to concentrate on defense here. When Cao De's troops come from xiapi and attack the south gate, the city will be broken in a flash. "

Chen Deng with some appreciation of the language airway: "Wude general really resourceful, thoughtful, I also think like this."

Jiang Huan said to Chen Deng, "I didn't think of this section at first. It was also the time when I discussed the countermeasures with you last night. I realized how much I got."

Chen Deng slightly exclaimed: "the general is so understanding, I admire."

In return, Jiang Huan continued: "at noon yesterday, Cao Deyi attacked xiapi, and then he must step up his march. I expect that his army will arrive in the south of Pengcheng before this evening. At that time, the sky will be dark, and Cao's army will pretend to draw up his troops. When our army relaxes, Cao de will shoot out suddenly, and Cao's army will kill another spear. "

Liu Bei still didn't understand: "what does this have to do with letting the three younger brothers leave the city?"

Jian Yong seemed to think of: "the meaning of the two generals is to ask the three generals to lead their troops out of the south gate?"

Jiang Huan nodded: "not bad. However, the duty of the third younger brother was not to annihilate the Cao army in the south gate. On the one hand, it was difficult to do so. On the other hand, even if he succeeded, Cao Cao would immediately send troops to help, which was of no help. Moreover, if we want to annihilate them, the battle will certainly be prolonged for a long time. When Cao De's army collapses, we will be in danger. "

Zhang Fei asked in a hurry: "what does the second brother want my younger brother to do? As long as you let me go out of the city to kill the enemy, no matter what the task, my second brother will tell you. "

Jiang Huan said with a smile: "the third brother and Ziyi gathered together our army and 5000 cavalry from Xuzhou, and then..."

Soon after, a soldier reported that Zhang Fei and Tai Shici, led by 5000 cavalry, rushed out from the south gate, but they did not love to fight, but were determined to break through the encirclement. The general of the south gate was forbidden and could not be stopped, so they fled.

"Well? What is the point of Pengcheng's lack of troops, and they still divide their forces to break through the encirclement? "

Cao Cao was a little surprised.

Cheng Yu came up and said, "cavalry is not good at guarding the city. Zhang Fei and Tai Shici are the top two generals in the city. I think it is Tao Qian and Liu Bei who ordered them to break through and look for reinforcements. Tao Qian and Liu Yao, the governor of Yangzhou, had a lot of contact with each other. They drove light cavalry to Jianye, but it was only two days' journey. If Liu Yao sent troops to help, it would be unexpected. "

When Cao Cao heard the words, he didn't care: "well, the only sun CE in Yangzhou has some strength. Liu Yao is not worth mentioning. As long as the second younger brother's troops arrive and launch a surprise attack, he can break the city tonight, and Liu Yao will come, too late.""My Lord's Guide."

After Cheng Yu said a word, he returned to his position and sat down again.

Cao Cao, however, saw Guo Jia's contemplative look and asked, "what's wrong with filial piety?"

Guo Jia stood up and said, "back to my Lord, I think Liu Bei is a hero in the world, not Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and other mediocre talents. But Chen Yuanlong in Xuzhou is known for his talent. Can he and Chen Yuanlong be so easily tricked?"

Cao Cao immediately sat up straight: "hmm? What's the discovery of filial piety? "

Guo Jia bowed and said, "I can't tell you what I found. But Zhang Fei and Tai Shici were top-notch generals at that time. Zhang Fei could have fought against Lv Bu in the past. At that time, he was just a young man, and now he has been a fierce general who has experienced many battles. His martial arts are bound to be even better than before. Tai Shici is also skilled in martial arts and excellent in archery. If he and he stay in the city, they will be of great use. Even if the city is broken, they can protect Tao Qian and Liu Bei from escaping. Now that they are released from the city at the same time, there must be one thing that is more important than protecting Liu Bei's life. Therefore, we must let them go together to ensure the success of the breakthrough. "

"When he went to Yangzhou to ask for help, it was illusory. Whether he could succeed or not was still unknown. Liu Bei should not have let the two leave him together. Therefore, his subordinates suspect that he and he went out of the city for another purpose. "

"Another purpose?" Cao Cao murmured to himself for a while, and then suddenly his spirit rose and his face was shocked.

"No, my second brother is in danger."
