Xiliang Camp.

10,000+ soldiers besieged Xuchang. It was an inevitable situation, but they were beaten and retreated by a mere [-] tiger and leopard cavalry. Moreover, Guan and Zhang were cut off their weapons and forced to retreat.

The atmosphere in the camp is very depressed.

Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang also frowned, showing distress.

"Zilong, I heard that today's battle you just watched from the sidelines? Did you make a move?"

Liu Bei whispered to Zhao Yun.

Before Zhao Yun could speak, Zhang Fei immediately slapped the table and shouted:

"Zhao Yun! I'm waiting to fight to the death, constantly dealing with that Bai Feng. It's good for you to stand by and watch with cold eyes. There is no blood on your body. What do you mean?"

Seeing this, Liu Bei quickly stopped Zhang Fei, and looked at Zhao Yun in a blink of an eye.

Even Zhuge Liang's face was full of melancholy at this time.

Tigers and leopards are coming, what does that mean?

It means that Cao Cao's army has retreated!

At present, the Jiangdong battle report has not yet come, so I don't know what Cao Cao is doing at this time.

Maybe Cao Cao will lead his army northward tomorrow.

The Xuchang defenders still have five thousand tigers and leopards to deal with, but what about Cao Cao's army?

Even though there were many losses in the battle with Jiangdong, Cao's army is powerful, far more than the 10,000+ Xiliang United Army.

Once Cao Cao comes, not to mention capturing Xuchang, I'm afraid that his party will die here.

Zhuge Liang couldn't figure it out, when did Bai Feng know that he was going to Xuchang.

After the rendezvous, there was almost no delay, and the siege began after only one night of recharging their energy. It was only a day after the siege, and the tiger and leopard cavalry led the army to come.

It can be seen that this Bai Feng was on his way at least three days ago!

"Report to the lord!"

Just when the situation was a little awkward, the voice of the orderly came.

"Is there any movement of Cao Cao's army?"

Liu Bei asked quickly.

The messenger shook his head and said:

"I waited day and night to raid and searched for about eighty miles, but I still haven't found Cao Cao's army."

"I can't move forward now, and I will soon reach the location of Xiahou Dun's army."

Hearing this, everyone was shocked.

Cao Cao hasn't come yet?

Then why did Tiger and Leopard Riders arrive so first?

Thinking of this, Liu Bei's face was full of solemnity.

Seeing this, Ma Teng narrowed his eyes and said:

"Xuande, in this situation, what should we do?"

"Could it be that we will continue to attack the city?"

How could Ma Teng not feel distressed seeing the drastic reduction in the troops he had managed to accumulate under his command.

Coupled with the current chaos in the army and low morale, even if there are a large number of people, it may be hopeless to attack the city.

Now Ma Teng has the idea of ​​retreating.

Chapter 70 Zhou Yu's pursuit!

"What General Ma means is that he wants to give up?"

Hearing these words, Liu Bei frowned slightly and said in a low voice.

Zhuge Liang shook the feather fan lightly, and said in a deep voice:

"Thieves Cao haven't marched backward yet."

"Although Jiangdong did not send a battle report to explain the current situation, there is no doubt that there is still a possibility of victory in the attack on Xuchang at this time."

"We are all gathered here for righteousness, for the Han Dynasty."

"Besides, even if General Ma returns to Xuchang at this time, do you think Thief Cao will let Xiliang go after he returns?"

Hearing this, Ma Teng fell silent for a moment.

That's right, since Cao Cao is already an enemy, once he returns, even if he withdraws his troops, he will inevitably meet Cao Cao's wrath, and he won't be able to escape cleanly.

From the beginning, Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang planned to tie the Xiliang Army with themselves. With this 10,000+ army, even if Cao Jun arrived, they had to weigh the strength of the Xiliang Army.

After finally getting the opportunity to encircle and suppress Cao Cao's base camp, how could Liu Bei give up lightly.

Ma Teng's face suddenly became serious, and after thinking about it, he finally agreed.
