On the city, a man was wearing armor, holding his hand on the hilt of a knife, standing on the city gate tower and looking up at the outside of the city.

"This person is Guan Tong." Wang Xiu pointed at the person and said.

"Why did he close the city and reject others?"

Liu Bei thought that everything would go well when he came to Donglai, but when he arrived outside the city, he was rejected.

"Maybe he already has his heart set on the Yuan family, so he doesn't listen to the orders of Confucius. I'll go and persuade him."

Zhou Xing rode his horse to the city gate, looked at Guan Tong on the city gate and shouted: "Guan Tong, the new Donglai Governor Liu Xuande has arrived outside the city, why are you rejecting him behind closed doors? Didn't you receive the invitation from Governor Kong to move you to Le'an?

An order from the prefect?"

Guan Tong laughed and said: "Hahaha, the new governor of Donglai? Is there an appointment edict from the imperial court?"

"The imperial court is in chaos and the emperor is on the way. As the governor of Qingzhou, Kong Shijun has already asked General Liu Xuande to be the prefect of Donglai. Moreover, when you came to serve as the prefect of Donglai, was there an imperial edict on your appointment?"

"Huh, I don't care what you do. In short, I will stay in Donglai. Liu Bei abandoned Xuzhou and came here. If you want to get the county, go to Le'an. Don't come and occupy my Donglai."

"Mr. Guanfu, this is the order of Kong Shijun. Do you want to disobey the order of the governor?"

Wang Xiu also came to the city, raised his head and shouted to Guan Tong.

"Who are you?"

When Guan Tong saw Wang Xiu, he felt like he had seen him before, but he couldn't remember who he was.

"Wang Xiu of Beihai, courtesy name Shuzhi, Kong Shijun has appointed me as the magistrate of Huang County." Wang Xiu replied.

"It turns out it's Wang Shuzhi. It's not that I want to disobey orders. Everything is safe for me in Donglai. I just don't know why Kong Shijun is acting like this. If you don't explain it clearly, I will never leave. Wang Shuzhi, since Kong Shijun appointed you as the magistrate of Huang County

, you can enter the city, but Liu Bei cannot."

"Hahaha..." Zhou Xing laughed suddenly and said, "This is a big joke. Is everything safe in Donglai now? Guan Tong, do you know how many bandits there are in Donglai? Do you know how many people in Donglai have abandoned their homes?

Huangtian is homeless? Did you know that Liaodong soldiers and horses were about to attack? The people of Donglai are already struggling to survive, with bones piled up on the roadside, and you actually say everything is safe!"

"Huh, so what! It's not like Donglai is the only county that is in trouble. Which county in Qingzhou is not like this? I have tried my best to suppress the thieves. Although there is no success, there is no fault. I am worthy of the people of Donglai!"

"Have you tried your best? I think you are powerless? Since you are unable to suppress the thieves, you should let General Liu, who is capable of suppressing the thieves, enter the city. Only in this way can you truly be worthy of the people of Donglai."

"Don't say any more. In short, Liu Bei doesn't want to enter the city!"

After Guan Tong finished speaking, he turned around and left, and Zhou Xing had to return to Liu Bei to report.

"Lord, it seems that Guan Tong is determined not to leave."

"Brother, let's attack the city?" Zhang Fei was furious and shouted.

Wang Xiu said anxiously: "General, you must not attack the city. The general only has more than a thousand soldiers, but there are three thousand soldiers and horses in the city. If we attack by force, we will only lose the soldiers and horses, and there will be no benefit. Why don't we go to Mouping Tun first?"

Stay and make plans again."

Mouping County is to the east of Huang County, not too far away. Liu Dai and Liu Yao are from Mouping.

Guan Tong refused to close the city and could not attack the city. Liu Bei thought for a moment and decided that it would be a good idea to live in Mouping. He settled down in Donglai County first, and then through Kong Rong's persuasion, he believed that Guan Tong would definitely be willing to leave.

"That's not appropriate." Zhou Xing said, "If we abandon Huang County and settle in Mouping, we will show weakness. The thieves from Donglai will not be afraid, and Guan Tong will not leave. Although there are three thousand soldiers and horses in the city,

, but they are a mob, and although our soldiers and horses only have more than a thousand people, they are warriors who have experienced hundreds of battles. Lord, we still have food and grass, so why not camp outside the city and invite the commander-in-chief to fight tomorrow?

Victory is certain, so Donglai can be won."

"I agree with Wen Sheng's words." Guan Yu said.

Zhang Fei immediately said: "I also agree."

In the eyes of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, the three thousand soldiers and horses in the city were simply vulnerable.

Zhou Xing thinks so too.

Liu Bei's two fierce generals Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, as well as himself and Liu Zheng, and these more than a thousand soldiers were all fought in Xuzhou after escaping from death. I dare not say that one is worth ten. To deal with Guan Tong's soldiers and horses, one can not

Three enemies should be more than enough.

Liu Bei thought Zhou Xing was right.

If you leave now, the thieves in Donglai will think that they can't defeat Guan Tong. Even if Guan Tong leaves in the end, the thieves in the county will probably not be afraid of them, but will become more and more chaotic.

Anyway, the five thousand shi of food Zhou Xing asked Lu Bu for is still there, so there is no problem even if he lives outside Huang County for a month.

At this time, both Jian Yong and Mi Zhu agreed with Zhou Xing's words, and even Wang Xiu and Liu Zheng also agreed.

"Okay, then we will camp outside the city."

Liu Bei ordered the soldiers and horses to build a fort and camp one mile away from the city in the south of Huang County.

In the city, Guan Tong thought that Liu Bei could not do anything to him and might temporarily move to Muping. As long as he held Huang County, Liu Bei would leave soon.

However, when the soldiers came to report that Liu Bei's troops were camping a mile outside the city, he didn't quite believe it and quickly went to the south gate tower to take a look.

Sure enough, soldiers and horses set up a camp outside the city. Although there were not many people and horses, the camp looked very neat, and there were soldiers and horses patrolling back and forth outside the camp.

"Master Mingfu, looking at Liu Bei's momentum, it seems difficult to leave for a while." The meritorious officer next to him said to Guan Tong.

"Hmph, why should we be afraid of a defeated soldier! If he doesn't want to leave, we will beat him until he leaves."

"Fu Jun wants to go to war?"

"Haha, I'm afraid Liu Bei doesn't dare to challenge!"

Guan Tong knew that Liu Bei had only a thousand troops, which could be seen from his tents.

And with three thousand soldiers in his city, even if he goes into battle, he has a good chance of winning.

"Tell me to go down and step up patrols to prevent them from attacking the city at night."

Guan Tong did not take Liu Bei seriously, which is why he dared to close the city and reject him.

In Liu Bei's tent, everyone gathered to discuss countermeasures.

"Everyone, how should we deal with tomorrow?"

Liu Bei asked as he inspected the crowd.

"Brother, if you give me 300 men tomorrow, I can break through their formation." Zhang Fei was the first to ask for a fight.

Guan Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, stroked his beard lightly, glanced at Zhang Fei, and said nothing.

He felt that with Zhang Fei leading three hundred soldiers into the battle, he could already win, and there was no need to go into battle himself.

But Liu Bei understood Zhang Fei's character, and he was brave when he was brave, but the strategies he mentioned rarely worked.

Three hundred people compared to 3,000 people is indeed a bit less.

However, Jian Yong, Mi Zhu, Wang Xiu and others did not understand the art of war, so they remained silent at this time.

"Military advisor, what do you think should be done?"

Although Zhou Xing knows a lot about the history of the Three Kingdoms, he doesn't know much about the art of war. It would be difficult for someone to tell him about the art of war and tactics.

However, since Liu Bei asked the question, and as a military advisor himself, he had to understand even if he didn't understand at this time, so he immediately replied: "My lord, although Guan Tong has three thousand soldiers, if you dare to go to battle tomorrow, you can first look at his formation. If you are ready, then

We will defend the formation and wait for them to attack. If there is chaos, we will rush into the formation bravely. We can order Zhang Sima to lead 500 elite soldiers to break through his formation first, and then order Guan Sima to lead 500 soldiers to assist. Finally, the lord himself will lead the remaining soldiers.

Charge and kill."

"As long as Guan Tong's front line is broken and we continue to reinforce the troops, the enemy soldiers will break up and flee. This is a win."

Zhang Fei smiled happily and said: "Hey, Military Advisor Zhou is right, but I can defeat the enemy with five hundred elite soldiers, so I won't bother my second brother."

Guan Yu glanced at Zhang Fei and pretended not to hear what he said.

Liu Bei felt that what Zhou Xing said was reasonable. If the enemy army was in chaos, as long as Zhang Fei led his troops to charge, he would definitely win.

After deciding on a countermeasure, everyone spent the night peacefully.
