Guan Yu nodded, "Brother, didn't you say that the flame stone is difficult to get? Why does the eldest son have it?"
Liu Bei shook his head, "Don't talk about this matter anymore. No matter where the eldest son got the flame stone, it will be beneficial to us."
Having said this, Liu Bei reached out and patted the two of them on the shoulders at the same time, lowering his voice and saying, "In the next battle, protect yourself, and nothing will happen to you."
Hearing these words, Zhang Fei frowned and said, "Brother, Cao Mengde bullied others too much. I must avenge you."
Liu Bei shook his head, "Since we already have the Jingzhou Army, we still have to preserve our strength and don't let anything happen."
While the three of them were talking, Jian Yong and Sun Qian came over from behind and cupped their hands, "Mr. Xuande, what do you want to do in the future?"
Liu Bei sighed and said with a wry smile, "Now that the matter has come to this, what else can we do? We can only take one step at a time."
Jian Yong smiled bitterly and said, "Mr. Xuande, haven't you seen it yet? Even if we capture Xuzhou, I'm afraid it will have nothing to do with us."
Sun Qian sighed and said, "Mr. Our troops are here just to make wedding clothes for others."
Zhang Fei snorted coldly, "Who dares to steal Xuzhou from my elder brother? I will beat him to a pulp first and see if he still dares?"
Sun Qian shook his head with a wry smile, "General Yide, there are many soldiers and horses in Jingzhou. If we really capture Xuzhou, our army will not be as strong as theirs. What will we fight for then?"
After hearing this, Liu Bei's heart moved, and he pretended to be bitter and said, "Gongyou, I didn't know this, but now that the matter has come to this, there is nothing we can do."
Sun Qian shook his head and said, "Mr. Xuande, these words are inappropriate. Although our army has suffered a temporary defeat, it is not without solutions."
Liu Bei turned to look at Sun Qian and asked tentatively, "Gongyou, what do you have to say?"
Sun Qian cupped his hands and said slowly, "Mr. Xuande, although the current situation is unfavorable, when Mr. Xuande was in charge in Xuzhou, the local aristocratic families were very supportive. If Mr. Xuande is willing, I am willing to contact the local aristocratic families. In exchange for their support."
After hearing this, Mi Zhu, who had been silent for the whole time, also smiled and said, "Mr. Xuande, Mr. Gongyou is right. As long as Xuzhou is recaptured and everyone supports it, even if there are many soldiers and horses in Jingzhou, it will be difficult to achieve it."
When Liu Bei heard what everyone said, he was overjoyed and asked hurriedly, "Mr. Gongyou, are you really willing to make a trip?"
Sun Qian hurriedly handed over his hand and said, "Mr. Xuande, I am willing."
Mi Zhu cupped his hand and said, "Xuan De Gong, I can also contact the old department. When the time comes to capture Xiapi, the Jingzhou Army will inevitably suffer heavy losses. By then we will join forces internally and externally and we will be able to successfully capture Xuzhou."
Liu Bei looked at everyone, his eyes were a little moist, and he suddenly held his hands deeply, "Thank you for your support. Once things are done, I will definitely not forget your benefits."
At this moment, rapid footsteps suddenly came from the distance, and everyone hurriedly stopped talking in low tones.
A Jingzhou Army soldier hurriedly came to Liu Bei and said with his hands, "Mr. Xuande, the eldest son has an order. The time has come. We can both take action at the same time."
Liu Bei perked up and nodded, "In that case, let's take action immediately."
Following the order, several soldiers sent by the eldest son Liu Qi immediately carried packages and walked slowly towards the city gate.
There was no fighting at the southern city gate, so Cao Jun's soldiers on the city wall were a little lax.
The soldiers were sitting on the edge of the city wall, with their swords and guns beside them, chatting with each other, and some of them had already begun to take a nap.
The general responsible for defending the city saw that there was no fighting and just turned a blind eye to everyone's laziness, not paying too much attention.
After all, if there is a battle, these soldiers must be relied on to defend. Once everyone is dissatisfied, I am afraid that he will be the first person punished by the Lord.
The torches on the wall swayed slightly in the wind, and the light of the lights swayed constantly.
No one noticed that there were several men in black walking slowly towards the city gate along the dark area.
While the soldiers on the city wall were chatting, suddenly, an earth-shattering explosion sounded from the direction of the north city gate.
Although the two places are far apart, the sound is so loud, but it can still be heard clearly.
When everyone heard this voice, they were startled. They stood up hurriedly and looked in the direction of the North City Gate.
"What's going on? What makes the sound so loud?"
"Has the north been breached?"
"Impossible. The main forces are in the north. How could it be defeated so easily?"
"Then what do you think is the reason?"
"I don't know, but it's absolutely impossible for them to break into the city."
While everyone was talking about it, no one noticed what was under the city wall.
Several dark figures who were walking forward in the darkness saw that the soldiers on the city wall were looking north, so they hurriedly speeded up and quickly approached the city gate.
……
North City Gate.
Cao Cao stood on the city wall, looking at the Jingzhou Army soldiers who were attacking the city like a tidal wave, but he had some doubts in his heart.
During the day, he could see clearly that there were about 30,000 soldiers in the Jingzhou Army. Although there were many soldiers, they did not reach the number that could attack the city wantonly.
According to Cao Cao's estimation, if you want to attack a strong city like Pengcheng, the attacking force must be at least 60,000 yuan to attack the city regardless of losses.
Is Liu Qi, the eldest son of Jingzhou, stupid, or he has ulterior motives!
Thinking of this, Cao Cao's heart suddenly moved, and he suddenly thought of a person.
Liu Bei Liu Xuande!
After several battles between the two, Cao Cao was certain that Liu Xuande had definitely entered the game.
Liu Xuande knew this period of history and improved his own strength, so he was able to tie with himself.
Not only that, Liu Xuande also obtained such powerful props in the game just like himself.
This time Jingzhou soldiers and horses came to attack Xuzhou, and Liu Bei was in this team!
Thinking of this, Cao Cao's thinking gradually became clearer, and he understood why the eldest son of Jingzhou, Liu Qi, ordered a storm.
It turned out that their real plan was not to attack by force, but to wait until dark to pull the powerful prop.
The most suitable prop for siege is of course the powerful red stone.
Flame Stone!
Cao Cao has completely understood that the eldest son of Jingzhou must want to use the flame stone in Liu Bei's hand to wait until dark and take the opportunity to blow open the city gate and then rush in with his troops.
