Not long after Cao Mengde was ready, Liu Qi, the eldest son of Jingzhou, came with his troops.
What happened was as Cao Mengde guessed. The soldiers and horses brought by the eldest son of Jingzhou were stationed outside the west gate of Xiapi City.
Pengcheng is to the west of Xiapi City. Normally, when Jingzhou soldiers and horses arrive, they will definitely stop at the west gate.
Now that this is the case, it means that Liu Xuande did not remind Jingzhou eldest son Liu Qi about the flooding.
Cao Mengde was certain that Liu Xuande must have known that Xiapi City would be flooded and that the terrain to the west was low, but he chose not to say anything, which meant that his guess was not wrong at all.
Liu Xuande really had his own agenda. His real thoughts were probably the same as those of the eldest son of Jingzhou, Liu Qi, who wanted to drive him away and monopolize Xuzhou.
Cao Mengde stood on the city wall, looking at the Jingzhou army soldiers and horses outside the city, with a sneer on his lips.
Liu Xuande, this time, it is absolutely impossible for you to conquer the city with overwhelming force.
Cao Mengde is sure of this because he has already made preparations.
The original decision was to close the three gates of Xiapi City to ensure the safety of the city.
But thinking of the reason why Pengcheng fell, Cao Mengde finally decided to seal all four gates of Xiapi City. Even if Liu Xuande and Jingzhou eldest son Liu Qi divided their forces again, they would never be able to break through the city again.
Although the props in the game are powerful, it is absolutely easy to break through the city gate, but it may not be so easy to break through the city.
Of course, Cao Mengde definitely does not deny that there are powerful siege tools in the game, but he is certain that Liu Xuande can never afford them.
Because even in the game, he can only see those powerful game props that he covets, but he doesn’t have enough money to buy them.
If everyone uses props such as the Fire Wall Technique, although it is powerful, it will also cause great harm to your own people if you are not careful. It is for this reason that it cannot be used as a siege.<

Liu Qi, the eldest son of Jingzhou, looked at Cao Mengde on the city wall and said loudly, "Cao Mengde, you have no way to retreat now. If you know what's going on, open the city and surrender as soon as possible, otherwise you will have no chance."
When Cao Mengde heard these words, he remembered that Liu Qi, the eldest son of Jingzhou, had used a trick to defraud Pengcheng. He suddenly became angry and said through gritted teeth.
"My lord, although you used trickery to defraud Pengcheng, it is probably impossible to get Xiapi City. If you know how to advance and retreat, you might as well retreat to Xuzhou as soon as possible. What do you think if Cao Moujue doesn't pursue it?"
After hearing this, Liu Qi, the eldest son of Jingzhou, snorted coldly, "Cao Mengde, our army has taken Pengcheng, and you only have Xiapi City to defend. Now you actually want me to retreat. Isn't this a dream?" p>
Cao Mengde snorted coldly, "My lord, if you have the ability, then come and attack the city. I want to see how you capture the city."
Liu Xuande stepped forward, cupped his hands, and said loudly, "Meng Degong, why are you so stubborn? You only have one city left. Once defeated, there will be no way out. It's better to open the city gate now and let's shake hands and make peace.
Wouldn't it be better?"
"Shake hands and make peace?"
Cao Mengde suddenly sneered, "Liu Xuande, do you really want to shake hands with me and make peace?"
Liu Xuande frowned, "Mr. Xuande, everything I say is true, don't you believe it?"
Cao Mengde snorted coldly, "Liu Xuande, when you and I fought against the Huainan soldiers and horses, we seemed to have shaken hands and made peace, but how did you treat me, do you still remember?"
At this point, Cao Mengde's tone paused, but then, without waiting for Liu Xuande to answer his words, he continued.
"Liu Xuande, you and I were already defeated, but you actually wanted to sneak attack on me. If I hadn't been lucky, you might have successfully attacked me.
Humph, Liu Xuande, now you want to tell me to shake hands and make peace, then I have to ask you, should I believe you?"
When Liu Xuande under the city wall heard these words, his expression changed, and he immediately waved his hand, "Meng Degong, you misunderstood, everything is a misunderstanding, please open the city gate, and we will explain it face to face. If there is anything I can't apologize for, I would like to
I apologize, what do you think?"
Cao Mengde looked at Liu Xuande with a smile on his face, his teeth itched with hatred, "Liu Xuande, if I open the city gate, I'm afraid what's waiting for me is not an apology but your sword, right?"
Liu Xuande sneered in his heart, but his face was still full of joy, "Meng Degong, how can you say such a thing? With all your good intentions, you only have one city left now and there is no way out. If you open the city gate now, let us shake hands and make peace.
Not only will your generals be safe, but the people of Xuzhou will also be grateful to you.
Mr. Meng Degong, please stop being stubborn. If you continue like this, it will not be good for you or me."
Cao Mengde looked at Liu Xuande and suddenly sighed, "Liu Xuande, you are indeed a hero. You can say such things without changing your face. I, Cao Mengde, have never admired anyone. Today, I really admire you." Liu Xuande shook his head, "Meng Degong, you have misunderstood me too deeply. I tried to explain to you several times, but you didn't listen. It made us come to this point now. Why bother!" p>
Having said this, Liu Bei repeatedly raised his hands to Cao Mengde on the city wall, "Meng Degong, for the sake of the people of Xuzhou and the safety of your subordinates, please agree to open the city gate. This will be good for all of us. I will treat it as Liu begging you."
."
Cao Mengde looked at Liu Xuande's sincere look, then looked at the strange eyes of the soldiers next to him, and took a deep breath.
"Liu Xuande, you are really amazing, you are so admirable."
At this point, Cao Mengde's tone paused, but then, without waiting for Liu Xuande to answer his words, he laughed and continued.
"However, Liu Xuande, you can deceive others, do you think you can deceive me?
If I open the city gate now, I'm afraid you will immediately become ruthless. Do you think I have really been fooled by you? This is just a dream.
If you have the ability, order the siege now. If you don't want to, just leave."
Cheng Yu, who was standing aside, stepped forward and said loudly, "Liu Xuande, if you leave now, the people of Xuzhou will also be grateful to you. In order not to disappoint them, you'd better leave."
Having said this, Cheng Yu bowed his hands to Liu Xuande and said sincerely, "Mr. Xuande, I am begging you. For the sake of the people of Xuzhou, please withdraw your troops."
"This?"
Liu Xuande didn't expect that Cheng Yu would use these words against him, and his expression changed, "Mr. Zhongde, why did you say this?"
