"Send the order to gather my troops. Tonight, I, the general, will lead you to achieve the feat of shaking the sky!"
After Yu Ji walked away, Liu Pi hurried back to the camp.
Being woken up in the middle of the night, Liu Pi's troops were full of complaints, but he was just a soldier while he was a general.
But when all the soldiers heard that Liu Pi said that he knew the loopholes in the Chu army's defense and had a chance to seize the city, they all became excited.
Who doesn’t understand such a simple truth?
If you can take the credit for seizing the city first, everyone present will be counted as one, even if you don't get promoted, I'm afraid they will get rich!
After a while, when all the soldiers were assembled, Liu Pi led his brave and high-spirited soldiers and rushed straight to the loophole provided by Yu Ji.
"Someone is stealing the city, brothers, kill them!"
Just as he climbed onto the city wall, Liu Pi realized that he was in tragedy.
Is this a weak defense? Why are there Chu troops all around?
I'm saying this? Did they switch defense?
Obviously, the naive Liu Pi still didn't realize that he had been tricked by Yu Ji.
"No! Don't fight! Surrender, I surrender!"
The city wall of Xiapi is not the Yangcheng that Zhang Fei once jumped over.
If you jump off this city wall, which is several feet high, you may not only die but also be crippled.
Seeing that there was no hope of victory, and Liu Pi did not want to jump to the city to fight for his life, the only way out was to surrender.
Anyway, I don’t have any feelings for Liu Bei anyway.
Liu Pi, who surrendered, could only comfort himself in this way.
After hearing that Liu Pi surrendered, the Chu army looked at each other and chose to accept it.
After all, I am just a top soldier, and this guy looks like a general at first glance. How can I take charge of this kind of surrender?
"General, this is the man who stole the city and then surrendered."
One group of soldiers stayed behind to guard the prisoners, while the other group brought Liu Pi to Chen Feng.
Because Chen Feng accompanied Zhang Fei to defend the city before, he didn't know this former colleague.
Looking at Liu Pi with a frustrated look on his face, Chen Feng became interested.
"Since you are a general of the Qingzhou Army, how come you steal the city at night?"
Could it be that Liu Bei is unwilling to rely solely on attacking during the day, and now he doesn't even plan to rest at night?
Suddenly startled by what he was thinking, Chen Feng suddenly became nervous.
If Liu Bei plans to attack the city even at night, Xiapi's defense task will be even more difficult.
"Well, back to General, I led my troops to steal the city tonight, not because of my lord... No, not because of Liu Bei's order.
But..."
After listening to Liu Pi's narration, Chen Feng almost laughed out loud.
Isn't this stupid guy too real?
Do you dare to believe what that old liar said? And you believe it without saying a word? Are you afraid that you are not here to tease me?
But the facts are before our eyes, and Liu Pi's people are already here, so there is no need to lie.
No matter what, when Chen Feng knew that Yu Ji had left safely, he was relieved.
Old Taoist Master, the future of Xiapi City and the future of tens of thousands of soldiers of the Chu army all depend on you!
But Chen Feng didn't know.
Because he left the city at night and was frightened by Liu Pi, he panicked and wanted to head west. Yu Ji, who was heading to Pengcheng, took the wrong direction and rushed to Guangling in the south.
"Overlord, Siyang is ahead!"
After several days of rapid march, Xiang Ji and his Canglong Cavalry had crossed Guangling and headed straight for Xiapi.
After returning to Xuzhou, Xiang Ji already knew through inquiring that Xiapi was still surrounded by Liu Bei's army.
What else is there to say, Liu Bei? He is an old rival.
Hearing that Liu Bei actually attacked his own city of Xiapi, Xiang Ji didn't say anything and led his army on a rapid march, covering a distance that usually took more than ten days in a few days.
"The whole army dismounted, rested for the night, and then continued on their way."
Don't rush in a hurry. If you march in a hurry for several days, the people will not be tired, and the horses will not be able to bear it.
Siyang will be arriving soon, so I'm afraid it will take at most two days to reach Xiapi after a night's rest.
Looking at Surabaya in front of him, Xiang Ji was lost in thought.
Now that Xiapi has been besieged by Liu Bei, I wonder what's going on with Jia Xu?
Think about it, even if you lose, the defensive problem shouldn't be big, right? After all, that's Jia Xu.
Xiang Ji was still full of confidence in Jia Xu.
You know, in the Three Kingdoms era, if counselors had to be ranked, Jia Xu would definitely be among the top three.
Although the things he has done are not many, which one is not earth-shattering?
First, he helped Li Guo defeat Lu Bu and contributed to the demise of the Han Dynasty.
Later, he helped Zhang Xiu defeat Cao Cao, and even caused Cao Cao's eldest son and Dian Wei to be trapped in Wancheng.
You know, the genius Guo Jiake at that time had already become the mastermind under Cao Cao.
But even so, Jia Xu still wins.
Is this something that ordinary people can do?
Later, during the Battle of Chibi, Jia Xu advised Cao Cao not to rush to attack Soochow, but Cao Cao was so proud at that time, how could he listen?
Knowing that Cao Cao was bound to lose, Jia Xu, who had a strong sense of self-preservation, simply made excuses to stay in Jingzhou instead of accompanying Cao Cao to Chibi.
Result? Haha, at least Jia Xu is safe.
It is precisely because of knowing this that Xiang Ji is very relieved about Jia Xu's plan.
That old poisoner would never confront Cao Cao, that's not his character at all.
Thinking about it, he must be using some trick to drag Cao Cao away, right?
At this time, Jia Xu, who was being worried about by Xiang Ji, had already led his army back to Xuzhou safely.
After reporting from the scouts left behind, Jia Xu already knew that the beast forward battalion in Rencheng had been defeated by Cao Cao.
After all, they are all peasant soldiers, relying only on their bravery accumulated through continuous victories.
When encountering Cao Cao's main army, they are naturally unable to resist.
What Jia Xu didn't expect was that Cao Cao didn't kill all of this beast's troops, but instead recruited two men to expand his troops.
This made Jia Xu take a high look at Cao Cao again.
He who can endure what ordinary people cannot endure is indeed a traitor in troubled times.
You know, although this beast army is extremely difficult to command, once you sort it out, it will definitely be a powerful army.
However, these no longer matter to Jia Xu.
Yanzhou was devastated by himself. Whether it was the population or the repair of the city, it took a lot of Cao Cao's time and experience.
This also shows that Cao Cao will never be able to use troops against Chu again in a short period of time.
"Send an order and tell the whole army that we will go directly to Xiapi.
Also, send a messenger to Pengcheng and tell the Pengcheng defenders to send troops to Xiapi!"
Now that the crisis in Pengcheng has been resolved, all that remains is to deal with Liu Bei.
