Diao Chan said: "I just received a report that Mr. Gongtai has mobilized 50,000 troops, while his sister Yueying has mobilized a large amount of food and grass, and has left Yanzhou and rushed towards us.

But I don't think they can cross that ocean to support us.

As for General Zilong, he was attacking Gaotang fiercely, and the war was progressing smoothly, but Cao's army resisted very tenaciously, so General Zilong would probably find it difficult to make any progress in a short period of time.

But for some reason, Sister Yanran has not received any news from her so far. I sent two Feige letters to inquire, but I didn’t see Sister Yanran’s reply? I wonder what was wrong?"

Liu Xian looked thoughtful and paced back and forth.

In the following days, Liu Xian thought of various ways to try to break the cage that Cao Cao put on him. However, Cao Cao obviously made up his mind to stick to the status quo and was not confused by Liu Xian's tricks.

Before he knew it, more than ten days passed, and Liu Xian was unable to break through the encirclement of Cao's army. The reinforcements led by Huang Yueying were blocked by the large swamp and could not come to join Liu Xian.

However, the situation on Liu Xian's side was extremely critical. The food and grass that was originally only enough for the army to spend ten days had barely lasted for more than ten days, but now it has reached the point where the ammunition and food are exhausted.

At this moment, even with Liu Xianjun's elite, his morale was inevitably severely damaged, and the entire military camp was filled with an atmosphere of depression and frustration.

In the big tent, Liu Xian stood in front of the map and looked at Xiao Pei's position on the map and frowned tightly.

At this moment, a feeling of depression arose in Liu Xian's heart. He just felt that he had been in the world for so many years, and this time he might have capsized in the gutter!

Guan Yu and Ma Chao came together to meet Liu Xian.

Liu Xian turned around.

Guan Yu clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, I was ordered to check the food and grass. I found that the food and grass were almost exhausted, so I could only barely support one day. After a day, I could only kill the horses to satisfy my hunger, but that would only last for about three days."

Ma Chao clasped his fists at Liu Xian and said, "The last general was ordered to lead the cavalry to attack the two camps and cities of Cao's army, but the enemy still couldn't stand it and ignored the last general's challenge at all!"

Liu Xian frowned and said nothing.

Guan Yu couldn't help but clasp his fists and said, "Your Majesty, there is no other way at this moment. It's better to take all your might to attack one place, maybe..."

Liu Xian frowned and said, "Our army's heavy siege equipment cannot be transported up, so it is impossible to break the city. If we attack the enemy's north and south camps... Even if we successfully break through one of its camps, we still need to cross a river to escape the predicament.

Cao Cao had every time to mobilize other troops to siege our side! The consequences are unimaginable!"

Guan Yu clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, continue to be trapped, the defeat is determined. Why not let go? Maybe you can still find a glimmer of hope!"

Liu Xian's heart moved and nodded slowly.

At this time, Diao Chan walked in quickly.

Seeing this, Guan Yu and Ma Chao bowed together, "Empress!" Diao Chan quickly came to Liu Xian, presented a book of flying pigeons to deliver the letter, and said anxiously: "General Zilong, Fei Ge, passed the letter!"

Liu Xian quickly took the letter and opened it to read it. His face suddenly showed a very happy expression and praised: "What a good dragon, he has already broken through Gao Tang!"

Guan Yu and Ma Chao all showed joy, but this joyful look fleeting, and the sadness returned to the faces of the two.

Ma Chao frowned and said, "Although it is a good thing for Zhao Yun to break through Gao Tang, it does not help us at all!"

Liu Xian nodded. Thinking of the current situation, he really didn't know what to do. He couldn't help but murmur: "It seems that we can only take a gamble and let go! He ordered the troops to assemble immediately and attack Beizhai with all their strength after sunset!"

Guan Yu and Ma Chao agreed and quickly stepped out of the tent.

Liu Xian couldn't help but walk to Diao Chan, reached out and held her slender hand, and said blamingly: "I didn't expect the battle situation to develop to this point..."

Diao Chan knew what Liu Xian wanted to say, smiled slightly, leaned himself into Liu Xian's chest, and said tenderly: "You are born and my concubine is born, and you are born and my concubine is born, so what are you afraid of?

No matter what happens, I will follow my husband and live and die!”

Liu Xian was shocked and couldn't help but hug Diao Chan tightly, as if he wanted to rub this peerless beauty into his body.

Night has fallen and the armies have already assembled.

Liu Xian came to the army in military uniform, glanced at the army in front of him, and felt a tragic atmosphere permeating the entire military camp.

Liu Xian looked at the officers and soldiers under his command and saw that although everyone was very tired, they all showed a decisive expression, as if they were all ready to die. Liu Xian felt a shock in his heart, and an indescribable emotion surged into his heart.

Liu Xian held the Yunlei Sword and had already made up his mind.

At this moment, the sound of a carrier pigeon flapping its wings suddenly came from the air. Everyone couldn't help but look up and saw a carrier pigeon flying from the east to Diao Chan's arm.

Diao Chan immediately untied the bamboo tube on the feet of the pigeon, crushed the mud seal, took out a small roll of silk from it and presented it to Liu Xian, and said, "It was sent by Sister Yanran!"

Liu Xian was surprised and quickly took the Feige's letter and read it, and a very incredible expression suddenly appeared on his face.

At the same time, in Xiaopei City, Cao Cao quickly walked to the hall. Xun You, who was waiting for Cao Cao, immediately submitted a book of flying pigeons and said anxiously: "It's not good that King Wei, Xia Pi urgently report!"

Cao Cao was surprised and quickly took the letter and read it. He suddenly looked shocked and shouted, "This, how is this possible?"

Xun You couldn't help but say, "This is indeed unbelievable! Who would have thought that Zhao Yanran had been holding her troops but led the main force to bypass the entire Shandong from the sea and landed in Qu County!

Our army was unprepared, and Zhao Yanran's army marched straight into the sky. Now it is not only Xia Pi, but also Xuzhou is in danger!"

Qu County is the coastal county in the easternmost part of Xuzhou. Zhao Yanran's army landed from Qu County and advanced westward. It took a few days to reach the city of Xia Pi and then attack Xuzhou in the west of Xia Pi.

It can be said that Zhao Yanran's sudden attack hit Cao's army's weakness and caught them off guard.

Cao Cao's mind was in chaos, and he didn't know what to do for a moment!

Xun You clasped his fists and said, "King of Wei, the situation is now critical, so he can only give up the plan to encircle and annihilate Liu Xian. Go back to Xia Pi, Xuzhou!"

Cao Cao frowned and said angrily: "Now Liu Xian is already a turtle in the jar, and he is only one last step away from capturing Liu Xian alive. How can we give up?"
