Cao Cao climbed up the city wall amidst the sound of war drums and looked at the Jingzhou soldiers and horses outside the city. He frowned slightly but was not too nervous.
Cheng Yu stepped forward and said in a low voice, "My lord, there are about 30,000 soldiers and horses in Jingzhou."
Cao Cao nodded and was about to speak when several war horses ran out from the opposite camp. The leader was Xuzhou Shepherd Liu Xuande.
Liu Xuande came to the front of the formation, cupped his hands, and said loudly, "Meng Degong, now that my troops are pressing in, in order not to hurt the peace, I ask you to withdraw from Xuzhou. I promise to let bygones be bygones, and I promise to let bygones be bygones, what do you think?"
Cheng Yu took a step forward and said loudly, "Liu Xuande, as the saying goes, only those who are capable live there. You have done nothing in Xuzhou, causing the people to suffer together with you.
My lord now occupies Xuzhou to preserve your reputation, so please come back!"
Hearing this, Zhang Fei, who was behind Liu Bei, became furious and yelled, "That's nonsense. If you have the ability, come out and challenge me, Lao Zhang. If you win, you can talk nonsense again."
Cheng Yu smiled slightly and said, "General Zhang, why are you doing this? Even if you have great martial arts skills, as long as you don't get out, how can you still jump into the city?"
Zhang Fei yelled angrily, "You are a timid guy, come out on your own, I, Mr. Zhang, will give you three moves first."
Cao Cao took a step forward and waved his hand, "Liu Xuande, the matter is over, there is no need to say more. If you want to take back Xuzhou, then just order the siege. It is absolutely impossible to make someone withdraw."
Liu Bei handed over his hand again, "Meng Degong, I really don't want to be your enemy. If you are willing to withdraw, I will guarantee your safety."
Zhang Fei shouted, "Brother, since he is so stubborn, we don't need to say anything more. Let's quickly order the siege."
When the eldest son of Jingzhou, Liu Qi, heard these words, he frowned and said, "Mr. Xuande, since Cao Mengde is stubborn, let's order an attack on the city."
Liu Bei looked at Cao Cao on the city wall and sighed, "Meng Degong, in this case, I can only offend you."
Zhang Fei said dissatisfiedly, "Brother, you are so kind-hearted. He has gained your Xuzhou, and you are still so polite. If I, Lao Zhang, just stabbed him with a spear and kept him honest."
Liu Qi turned his head and looked at the generals behind him, and said loudly, "In this case, everyone should be prepared to attack the city immediately."
Jingzhou General Wenpin glanced at the direction of the city and frowned, "My lord, Pengcheng is so strong, and our army only has 30,000 troops. Isn't it inappropriate to launch a strong attack?"
Wenpin was a general in Jingzhou and had great strategism. Naturally, he knew that it would be impossible to capture a city like Pengcheng with 30,000 people.
Liu Qi smiled proudly and said, "General Wen, don't worry. Although our army does not have many soldiers and horses, it will be easy to break the city."
Hearing this, Wenpin was stunned and asked doubtfully, "Master, how is this possible?"
Liu Qi sneered, "General Wen, don't worry, just order the attack on the city. When it gets dark, I will let you see what I can do."
Wenpin nodded doubtfully, "In that case, I will obey your order."
After saying this, Wenpin immediately waved vigorously at the soldiers behind him and shouted, "Attack the city."
Following Wenpin's order, countless Jingzhou Army soldiers carried ladders and waved weapons and rushed towards the city.
The defenders on the city were experienced and saw the enemy rushing over, but they did not panic and passed on the orders one after another.
"Archers prepare!"
"Fire arrows."
Following the order, countless arrows flew into the air, like a large invisible net, and shot towards the rushing Jingzhou Army soldiers.
"Boohoo!
Puff puff puff!
"Ahhh!"
Countless Jingzhou Army soldiers fell to the ground after being hit by arrows, but more soldiers escaped the first round of attacks and continued to rush towards the city.
Liu Bei, who was standing behind to watch the battle, frowned tightly and kept looking towards the eldest son Liu Qi.
What did the eldest son say just now?
Is it easy to conquer the city?
Why is the eldest son Liu Qi so confident?
What gives him confidence?
Liu Bei kept looking at Liu Qi, trying to get some clues.
Ever since he learned that Cao Mengde had entered the game when he was in Xuzhou, Liu Bei's heart has always been hung up and he has never relaxed.
As one of the overlords of the Three Kingdoms, his strategy may not be top-notch, but his ability to guess people's hearts is definitely top-notch.
What the eldest son Liu Qi said just now really made him suspicious.
Along the way, Liu Bei made insinuations and already knew that the eldest son of Jingzhou, Liu Qi, was just an ordinary person, with neither extraordinary wisdom nor superhuman martial arts.
Since there is nothing, why is he so confident?
Could it be that there are his spies in the city, and at night, these spies will open the city gates to welcome the eldest son of Jingzhou, Liu Qi, into the city?
As soon as this idea came up, Liu Bei shook his head and dismissed it.
This is absolutely impossible!
How could the eldest son of Jingzhou, Liu Qi, have an inside job here? This is completely impossible.
Since this is not possible, what gives him such confidence?
Could it be?
Liu Bei looked deeply at the back of the eldest son of Jingzhou, Liu Qi, and a thought suddenly came to his mind.
Cao Mengde has indeed entered the game, because he has those game props and has made enough progress in martial arts, so Liu Bei can be sure that Cao Mengde has definitely entered the game.
There is also Zhang Xun of Huainan, who also owns those props. Has he also entered that game?
What Liu Bei is worried about is that since Cao Mengde and Zhang Xun can enter the game, why can't Liu Qi, the eldest son of Jingzhou?
What if Liu Qi, the eldest son of Jingzhou, also entered the game, improved his martial arts, and purchased many game props.
If he has these powerful game props in his hands, he will have confidence.
Liu Bei remembered what he looked like back then, and looked at the eldest son of Jingzhou, Liu Qi, and felt even more sure.
The current eldest son of Jingzhou, Liu Qi, is so similar to himself at that time. His face is confident, his eyes are full of pride, and he is not afraid of the solid city.
The current expression of Liu Qi, the eldest son of Jingzhou, is his own expression at that time.
Thinking of this, Liu Bei was almost certain that the reason why Liu Qi, the eldest son of Jingzhou, was so confident was because he also had those powerful game props, so he said that taking the city would be easy.
Liu Bei's expression changed, and he suddenly realized why when he went to join Liu Biao in Jingzhou, Liu Biao asked him to return to Xuzhou instead of leaving himself to work in Jingzhou as in history.
