After verifying Liu Bei's identity, Zhang Mancheng welcomed Liu Bei into the city.

"Brother Xuande came just in time. Our army is preparing to kill the generals and go out. Does Brother Xuande plan to leave the city or defend?" Zhang Mancheng said to Liu Bei excitedly.

They had been besieged by equal forces for several days, and they were already furious, but for the sake of Huang Tian's great cause, they still endured it and waited until reinforcements arrived.

In this way, even if they were defeated in battle, it would still be enough to keep the city safe.

Liu Bei didn't know Zhang Mancheng either. Zhang Mancheng consciously grew a beard and changed his appearance. In addition, Zhang Mancheng died and Zhang Mancheng changed his name and is now called Zhang Dian, so it did not arouse any suspicion. .

"General Zhang, we have already fought against the ambush of Cao Cao's army on the way here. We have two internal Qi separated generals and two spiritual counselors. I'm afraid the enemy's hidden strength is strong!"

Liu Bei warned sincerely.

"Hmph, Brother Xuande, don't underestimate us. If we don't seek stability, we are not weaker than them!" Zhang Mancheng proudly introduced the several generals behind him to Liu Bei.

Zhang Mancheng pointed at Lu Junyi, Guan Sheng, Lin Chong, Zhu Dian and Wu Song and introduced them.

"These are all my Qingzhou generals, and they are also capable of leaving the body. If Brother Xuande can join,"

Mu Yi had stationed many generals and commanders here in Taishan to prepare for Cao Cao's attack.

"Don't dare to take it, don't dare to take it!" Lu Junyi and others said repeatedly.

Zhang Mancheng glanced at a few people with some doubts. Although these people were not arrogant on weekdays, they still had their own ambitions. Why were they so timid today?

Guan Yu looked at Zhu Tong strangely. Well, his beard has almost caught up with him. He is also a person who pays attention to maintenance. If there is an opportunity, he can communicate with him.

Zhang Fei looked at Guan Sheng in surprise. He always felt that Guan Sheng looked a bit like his second brother, but he couldn't tell what the similarities were.

"Let's go, brother Xuande and I will meet with the Taishan County Sheriff. Brother Junyi, come and greet them both!" Zhang Mancheng pulled Liu Bei away.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei also wisely stayed. Although they and Liu Bei were brothers, it was better for them not to go to such a formal meeting, and the two of them didn't like to chat like that.

"Ahem, cough, may I ask, are you Guan Yu, Guan Yunchang, Zhang Fei and Zhang Yide?"

Lu Junyi and others made eye contact for a long time, and finally Lu Junyi, the second in charge, stood up and asked Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

"Hahaha, you also know the names of my two brothers!"

Zhang Fei waved his hands carelessly. He did not doubt how Lu Junyi and the others knew about it. Although the two brothers were Lu Bu's background at Hulao Pass, they did show their faces. It was common for someone to know about them.

When Lu Junyi and others learned about the identities of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, they were stunned for a moment.

In the second year of Daguan (1107), Guan Yu was crowned King Wu'an by the Song Dynasty. Although it was not as powerful as the Three Realms Demon-Suppressing Emperor Shenwei Yuanzhen Tianzun Guan Sheng Emperor in the Ming Dynasty, it was still a title.

Moreover, when they became sworn brothers at Liangshan Juyi Hall, they worshiped Guan Yu. Now that they saw this deity, they felt innately humbled, like a groupie meeting their idol.

Although they knew that this Guan Yu was not that Guan Yu, they still had unstoppable awe.

Even Wu Song, who has always been free and easy, can't help but feel a little reserved. In front of this idol, it is indeed a bit hard to let go.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were not talkative people either. They just chatted about each other, waiting for the outcome of the discussion between the three big guys inside.

"Generals, General Zhang, please come in!" Soon a waiter came to pass the message.

Several people filed into the conference hall. Liu Bei nodded to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei understood. This meant asking them to obey the command. They sat down calmly and listened to Zhang Mancheng's assignment of tasks.

"In the early hours of tonight, our troops are divided into two groups, one going out of the city through the secret passage, and the other out of the city through the side gate. Finally, we will attack here from both sides. When the camp is in chaos, the remaining generals will lead their troops to fight out from the front!"

Zhang Mancheng planned it with confidence. He had not known it before, but when he saw the reinforcements arriving, Ying Shao told him that there was a secret passage in the city that could lead to the outside.

This time, his chance of winning when going out to fight in the city increased by 30%.

"Half of my men will be stationed in the city. If you are defeated, remember not to go back the way you came and retreat directly to Qingzhou. Do you understand?" Ying Shao added calmly.

Zhang Mancheng and Liu Bei also nodded. Ying Shao's intention was very clear, which was to keep this bridgehead. Regardless of their success or failure, it would not affect his side.

This is also the safest way. Neither Zhang Mancheng nor Liu Bei have any objections. Moreover, the night attack itself is a one-time deal. Even if it fails, the other party will not pursue it further.

At worst, they would retreat and reorganize before returning to the city. Anyway, Cao Cao's army was sparse in strength. Even if they besieged the city, they would only besieged two walls at most.

They were also worried that if they divided their forces, they would be defeated by Zhang Mancheng and others who came out of the city.

After all, only a few people in history have been able to encircle the enemy with the same force.

Once the encirclement is spread out, the strength on one side will inevitably drop off a cliff, so there is a saying that if ten are to encircle it, if five are to attack it.

Without a force several times the opponent's, it would be like laying siege to a city, which is really impractical.

"Hmph, I, the Qingzhou Wolf Rider, will definitely become famous this time!"

Zhang Mancheng was very confident because Huang Tianji assigned three thousand wolf cavalry and three thousand imperial guards to Taishan when allocating weapons.

The Imperial Guard is weak in the category of dual talents, but when facing an elite with a single talent, he can still be very aggressive, especially when he is wearing iron armor and ordinary people can't hit him at all.

Moreover, the combat effectiveness of the Qingzhou Wolf Cavalry is actually much better than that of the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry because Mu Yi brought saddles, stirrups, and horseshoes from the Song Dynasty.

Although the cavalry three-piece suit had its prototype in the Han Dynasty, it was obviously not as technologically mature as the Song Dynasty. Therefore, after equipping the three-piece suit, the Qingzhou Wolf Cavalry's combat effectiveness increased by at least 15%.

However, Cao Cao's army also had cavalry, and they were not weak. Because Lu Zhi was in Yanzhou, and Cao Cao treated him with courtesy, Lu Zhi gave him a few thumbs up.

Although Lu Zhi regarded himself as a great Confucian and even entered the Confucian Temple (Zhenguan), he was actually a very powerful commander of a large army. Lu Zhi of this society knew all the military talents in the Han Dynasty system.

Therefore, Cao Cao's army has a group of cavalry, and they are Yueqi among the five schools of the Northern Army. Although they are not as noble as wolf cavalry, and their potential is not as good as wolf cavalry, their single talent level combat effectiveness is beyond that of wolf cavalry.

However, Xi Zhicai and the others did not bring cavalry this time, because with Xia Houyuan, they could use the infantry as cavalry.

So they kept the cavalry with Cao Cao, which could be regarded as suppressing those who had disobedient intentions.

The three monarchs of the Liu, Cao, and Sun Yu families, Cao Cao had just captured Yanzhou, and Mu Yi had dug a piece of Mount Tai. The internal situation was a mixed bag, and the foundation was unstable. It even reached the point where he was kidnapped by aristocratic families to conquer Qingzhou.

Sun Jian was in trouble all over Yangzhou, and he couldn't even sit still. Otherwise, he would not take the risk to beat Liu Biao, just to use his achievements to show his prestige and subdue the aristocratic families in Yangzhou.
