Bai Ren rubbed his chin. Looking at Cao Ang like this, he felt a little strange, but Bai Ren didn't ask any questions, but ordered the army in a heavy tone: "The whole army is marching, the target is Xuzhou."

At this time, under the city of Xiapi, Yuan Tan looked at Cao Ren who was holding on to the city with a bad expression. Now there are only 1 people in Cao Ren City, while Yuan Tan has 4 horses, but he still can't do anything to Cao Ren in the city.

These days, Cao Ren could not hold out, no matter how insulting Yuan Tan was, Cao Ren still guarded Xiapi City without sending a single soldier.

Seeing Cao Ren like this, Yuan Tan sent troops to attack the city several times, but was easily repelled by Cao Ren, which made Yuan Tan very annoyed.

"This Cao Ren only knows how to hide in the city, like a shrinking turtle, hateful, really hateful!" Sitting in the big tent, Yuan Tan said to Wen Wu below with a gloomy expression.

"My lord, why don't my two brothers attack Xiapi City again!" At this time Lu Kuang stood up with a calm expression, looked at his brother Lu Xiang beside him, and said to Yuan Tan with a serious expression.

Yuan Tan looked at the Lu brothers, shook his head helplessly, waved his hand, motioned for Lu Kuang to sit down, and then turned his gaze to Xin Ping who was at the side.

Xin Ping can be said to be the one who is closer to Yuan Tan among the counselors in Yuan Shao's hands, and now serves as Yuan Tan's chief counselor under Yuan Tan.

"Xin Ping, what do you think, why don't you say it directly!" Yuan Tan looked at Xin Ping aside, and said in a somewhat heavy tone.

"My lord, I think the best way to attack Xiapi is to encircle but not attack, but time may be running out, and Cao Cao will definitely send reinforcements when the time comes, and now you only have so many soldiers, you might as well take this opportunity to ask the lord for some soldiers and horses." After all, the lord loves the third young master now, and the young master still needs to make a perfect plan!" Xin Ping raised his head, looked at Yuan Tan with a bad complexion, stroked his beard, and spoke in a heavy tone. Said to Yuan Tan.

Yuan Tan listened to Xin Ping's words, and nodded to Xin Ping. Now Yuan Shangshen's father loves him, which made Yuan Tan feel a sense of oppression. In Yuan Tan's heart, Yuan Shang is no longer his brother, but a competitor of his own.

"I'll go ask my father for soldiers and horses right away!" Yuan Tan nodded after hearing Xin Ping's words, and said with a very serious expression.

"My lord, there is a person outside who claims to be Liu Bei's envoy and wants to see you!" At this time, a guard outside cautiously came into the big tent and said in a serious tone while looking at Yuan Tan.

"Liu Bei's envoy, isn't Liu Bei taking refuge with Cao Cao, and he was appointed some kind of left general? Why did he suddenly send an envoy here?" Yuan Tan asked Xin Ping, who looked at the side with a serious expression, after hearing what the guard said. .

Xin Ping touched his beard, thought for a while, and then said calmly to Yuan Tan: "This envoy was sent by Liu Bei. I heard that Liu Bei has the appearance of a hero, so he should not deal with Cao Mengde. Send someone here now." , mostly for cooperation, you might as well meet the envoy and see what he has to say!"

After listening to Xin Ping's words, Yuan Tan nodded, then looked at the guards, and said calmly, "Go and bring Liu Bei's envoys in. I want to see what tricks Liu Bei is playing."

Not long after, the guard came in with a literati. The literati looked very calm, with a kind smile on his mouth, looked at Yuan Tan who was sitting on the main seat, saluted respectfully, and said, "My lord Jian Yong, under Liu Shijun's command, has seen the young master!"

"It turned out to be Mr. Jian Yong! I don't know that Shijun Liu sent you here, but he didn't just come over to take a look and say hello, right?" Yuan Tan stroked his chin, looked at Jian Yong who was smiling, and said in a somewhat ambiguous tone. asked curiously.

"Of course not, my lord has something important to discuss with you!" Jian Yong looked at Yuan Tan's sarcastic expression, and said to Yuan Tan with a slight smile.

Seeing Jian Yong like that, Yuan Tan laughed loudly, and said to Jian Yong in a cold tone: "Your master is trapped in Xuchang now, what can you do to help me? Don't you think it's funny? "

Jian Yong looked at Yuan Tan laughing, and said to Yuan Tan unhurriedly: "My lord is wrong, my lord has left Xuchang now, Zhengtong is leading the army towards Xuzhou!"

"What?" Yuan Tan's eyes widened after hearing Jian Yong's words, and he looked at Jian Yong in disbelief, with an expression of disbelief.

"Young Master also understands the current situation. If our army helps Cao Ren, you will be defeated. If you help Cao Ren, you will win! Do you think so?" Jian Yong looked at Yuan Tan and touched his chin. , said to the somewhat surprised Yuan Tan with a confident face.

"You want to cooperate with us?" Yuan Tan looked at Jian Yong, gritted his teeth, and asked Jian Yong.

"Of course, my lord is very sincere!" Jian Yong looked at Yuan Tan's appearance, stroked his beard with a smile, and said in a serious tone.

"Hmph! I don't believe that Liu Bei is really willing to help me capture Xiapi City. Do you have any conspiracy!" Yuan Tan looked at Jian Yong's smiling face and asked in a serious tone while rubbing his chin.

"Of course my lord has a request, I don't know if you can agree!" Jian Yong looked at Yuan Tan's appearance, his face darkened, and then he pretended to be indifferent and said.

"any request?"

"Xiaopei City!"

Chapter 423 The Shocking Change in Xuzhou

"General, why are you so sad!" At dusk, a scribe came to Cao Ren's side with a calm expression. He looked at Cao Ren with a displeased face and stared at Yuan Jun's camp under the tower, and looked at Cao Ren calmly. asked.

Cao Ren saw that the person who came was Chen Deng, governor of Xuzhou, so he looked at Chen Deng with some helplessness, and said to Chen Deng with a wry smile on his face: "Now Yuan Tan has surrounded Xiapi, and now our army is probably in a very serious situation. I am in a passive position, and the lord's reinforcements have not arrived yet, so I don't know how long it will take for this situation to end!"

After listening to Cao Ren's words, Chen Deng stroked his beard, nodded to Cao Ren with a heavy tone, his eyes rolled, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"General, general, there is an army coming towards us from afar!" At this time, a soldier said to Cao Ren with a somewhat excited expression.

Cao Ren looked at the excited soldier, and asked the soldier with a serious expression, "Can you see where the soldiers are from?"

"The troops here are wearing our army's clothes, so they should be our soldiers and horses!" The soldier said to Cao Ren with some joy after hearing Cao Ren's words.

After hearing the soldier's words, Cao Ren showed a hint of joy on his face, and gave orders to his soldiers excitedly: "The whole army obeys the order, stand for battle! Stand for fight! Prepare to fight out of the city gate and fight the enemy to the death!"

Cao Ren's high-spirited tone aroused the struggle of the Cao army in Xiapi City. At this time, the entire Cao army in Xiapi City was ready to wait for the arrival of reinforcements, and went out of the city with the reinforcements, killing Yuan Jun on the opposite side without leaving a single piece.

At this time, Liu Bei was leading the army, looking at the towering Xiapi City, Liu Bei was excited, and said to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei beside him with some emotion: "Xiapi City, I didn't expect that I, Liu Xuande, would still be there today." When we come back again!"

After listening to Liu Bei's words, Guan Yu touched his long beard on his chest with a calm expression, and then said to Liu Bei in a heavy tone, "My lord, now you can send someone to inform Cao Ren to go out of the city to kill the enemy!"

"Yes! Yes! Unite with Cao Ren, first drive Yuan Tan away, and then seize Xuzhou, but now that we have agreed with Yuan Tan, we will not help each other. Wouldn't it be great to watch them fight!" Liu Bei Touching his beard, he said in a gloomy tone.

Although Liu Bei said that he wants to cooperate with others, but Liu Bei is a hero after all. There is no sincere cooperation in this troubled world. Instead of cooperation, it is better to use each other.

"Yide, you will call Cao Ren out of the city later, and then pretend to fight Yuan Jun. Yun Chang, you take this opportunity to enter the city and seize the city gate, and then our army enters the city, let Cao Ren and Yuan Tan fight!" Liu Bei looked at the other side. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei said with serious expressions.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei listened to Liu Bei's words, nodded, and then followed Liu Bei slowly approaching Xiapi City.

"Brothers at the top of the city, hurry out of the city gate, let's attack Yuan Jun together!" At this time, the reinforcements led by Liu Bei slowly approached Xiapi City. Zhang Fei took the lead and shouted at Cao Jun at the top of the city.

"General!?" The guard at the top of the city looked at Cao Ren and asked cautiously.

At this moment, Cao Ren had put on his armor and held a long spear in his hand. Then he looked at the reinforcements below with some joy, raised his long spear with excitement, and shouted passionately: "Soldiers! Open the top of the city and go out to kill the enemy!"

Under Cao Ren's order, the gate of Xiapi City was slowly opened, and Cao Ren took the lead and led his soldiers to kill Yuan Tan's camp.

Zhang Fei watched Cao Ren come out, sneered, and led a soldier into Yuan Tan's barracks.

"Yun Chang, quickly enter the city and take back Xiapi City!" Liu Bei looked at Cao Ren and Zhang Fei who had left, and Guan Yu at the side, and said with a gloomy expression.

"Yes, my lord!" Hearing what Liu Bei said, Guan Yu nodded with a gloomy expression, and then rode his horse and led the army towards Xiapi City.

"General, why don't you go to Yuan Jun's camp to kill the enemy?" The soldier guarding the gate asked Guan Yu with a puzzled expression as he saw Guan Yu leading an army into Xiapi City.

Guan Yu gave the soldier guarding the gate a cold look, then raised the horse spear in his hand, and stabbed it fiercely into the unsuspecting soldier's body.

"Why... what!" Guan Yu pulled out his horse lance, and then looked coldly at the soldiers guarding the gate. At this time, the soldiers guarding the gate looked at Guan Yu who was suddenly attacking with a bit of unwillingness, and said in a heavy and puzzled tone.

"Enter the city!" Guan Yu seized the city gate, and then led the army towards Xiapi City.

And Chen Deng, who was guarding the top of the city, discovered the situation under the city tower. Looking at Guan Yu, who was red-faced and long-bearded, Chen Deng seemed to realize something. Among the army, Liu Bei and Liu Xuande were found with a sneer on his face.

"No, why is Liu Bei back? It looks like Xiapi City can't hold it anymore! I'd better retreat first!" Chen Deng gritted his teeth, looked at Guan Yu and Liu Bei under the tower, and left the city cautiously in the dark Head, and left towards the distance.

"You are Zhang Fei, Zhang Yide, why is it you!" At this time, Cao Ren's pupils also widened, seeing that the general with the army turned out to be Zhang Fei, he said with a bad expression.

"Exactly, Cao Zixiao, if you want to attack Yuan Tan's camp, I can help!" Zhang Fei laughed when he saw Cao Ren recognized him, and then said to Cao Ren in a cold tone.

"What!?" Cao Ren heard Zhang Fei's voice with malicious intentions, and suddenly found that the Cao character flag on Xiapi City collapsed, replaced by a waving Liu character flag.
