Chapter 9
After Gao Shun hurried back to the city, he immediately began to urgently deploy troops!
Afterwards, he led the elite troops of the Xianzhen Camp under his command.
He also gathered Zhang Liao, Cao Xing and other generals!
The group was full of murderous intent: they led thousands of soldiers and horses and headed straight for Xiaopei!
The tiny city of Xiaopei soon became extremely lively.
Outside the city gate, yellow sand filled the sky and the sound of horse hooves!
The black mass of soldiers and horses came in a mighty force!
When the soldiers on the city wall saw it, their faces changed drastically:
"No! Enemy Attack——!!"
"Quick! Send someone to inform the lord!"
"……"
In Xiaopei City,
Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei were gathered together to discuss how to use Cao's army to seize Xuzhou.
However, before they could even start their dream, they heard a sudden commotion outside!
Soon, Mi Zhu, Mi Fang, Sun Qian, Jian Yong and other staff members arrived.
They looked panicked and hurried over with urgent reports from outside the city.
Liu Bei was shocked when he heard the news:
"What? Who are they?
How many people are here? Can you see clearly?"
The staff member Sun Qian hurriedly replied:
"My Lord! The enemy is flying the banner of"Gao"!
Judging from the huge movement, there are at least several thousand soldiers.……"
When Liu Bei heard this, he began to complain secretly:
"Oh no! It’s Gao Shun!!"
"It seems that the truth has probably been revealed.……"
After hearing this, Guan Yu narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice:
"Brother, don't panic!"
"There is no reason for the secret letter that was just sent this morning to be leaked so quickly!
Perhaps, it is for other things?"
Zhang Fei's eyes widened and he said angrily:
"Humph! Who cares what they are here for!
If they really dare to attack the city, I will make sure they never come back!!"
Liu Bei saw this and hurriedly stopped.
While pacing back and forth...
Liu Bei, the old soldier, quickly made a decision:
"Now that they are coming with bad intentions, we can only fight them head-on!"
"As a matter of fact, Xiaopei cannot be defended for long!
We need to send one person out of the city before it is completely surrounded!
Take my handwritten letter and ask Cao Jun for help!
Urge them to speed up their march and come to join us as soon as possible!
Who dares to go?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Jian Yong immediately asked for the order:
"My Lord! I am willing to go!"
Seeing this, Liu Bei was delighted:
"Good! Xianhe is good at diplomacy, so he is the most suitable person to take on this important task!"
"The rest of you, give orders quickly!
Order all the city gates to hold their ground and be ready for battle!
Do not go out to fight without my order!"
"Second brother, third brother! You two, quickly go and guard the east and west gates!"
"Gongyou, please guard the north gate; Zifang, guard the south gate!"
"Zi Zhong, you are responsible for guarding the central army and ensuring the safety of the families in the city!"
After hearing this, everyone immediately took the order and left...
At this time, Liu Bei obviously didn't know that he was actually secretly tricked by Cao Jian this time!
He still regarded Cao's army as his last straw!
After hurriedly writing the letter for help, Liu Bei solemnly entrusted it to Jian Yong:
"Xianhe! Please, I'll leave this to you!"
After hearing this, Jian Yong suddenly felt that the responsibility on his shoulders was more than a thousand pounds!
After receiving the handwritten letter carrying everyone's hope, he nodded heavily:
"My Lord, rest assured, I will live up to your trust!!"
After that, Jian Yong didn't dare to delay even for a moment!
Under the escort of several guards, he hurried out of the city...
After Liu Bei watched him leave, he soon put on his armor and held his sword: with an extremely heavy heart, he rushed to the east gate wall to check the latest developments.
Looking around!
I saw a dark mass of soldiers and horses, coming in an overwhelming manner!
When people saw it, they suddenly felt a sense of murderousness: dark clouds pressing down on the city and the city was about to be destroyed!
With the continuous approach of thousands of soldiers and horses!
The siege troops led by Gao Shun were at the gate of the city in the blink of an eye!
This scene made Liu Bei shudder secretly in his heart!
Fortunately, there was Guan Yu, a ten thousand enemy, guarding the city beside him, which gave him a little more courage.
Coupled with many years of military career, this downtrodden relative of the Han Dynasty has trained his face as thick as a city wall!
Even in the most dangerous situation, he can still force himself to remain calm on his face!
Looking at the murderous look of the soldiers under the city?
Liu Bei pretended to be surprised and asked loudly:
"General Gao, what does this mean?"
"We have been stationed in Xiaopei for a long time, and we have never had any grudges with your Lord Fengxian!
I wonder why the general suddenly led his troops here today? Does he seem to be going to call for punishment?"
Gao Shun sneered after hearing this:
"Liu Bei, stop pretending!
You colluded with Cao Cao, want to harm my master, and plotted to seize Xuzhou!
The messengers who were delivering letters have been intercepted by us this morning!
Now that the truth has been revealed and the perpetrators have been caught red-handed, why don’t you just surrender?"
After hearing this, Liu Bei remained silent:
At this moment, it was obvious that he could no longer deny it!
Guan Yu saw this and snorted coldly.
Immediately, he glared at Liu Bei and shouted loudly:
"Bastard! Xuzhou originally belonged to my eldest brother! I was kind enough to take in your master, Lu Bu, but you turned your kindness into enmity and took Xuzhou away!
Now even if we really want to take it back, we will return it to the original owner!
How can you say there is a conspiracy?"
"Now that things have come to this, there is no need to waste words!
If you want to attack the city, just come and attack!
Humph——!!"
After saying that, he stroked his long beard and slammed the sword in his hand to the ground!
What time! He looked down upon the world and regarded the thousands of troops outside the city as nothing!
Seeing this, Gao Shun frowned and stopped talking nonsense!
Then he raised his whip and pointed, shouting loudly:
"All soldiers, obey my orders!"
"Siege——!!!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the shouts behind him shook the sky!
Especially the"Entrapment Camp" troops that he had trained personally!
The fearless soldiers were like chicken blood: one after another, they began to rush forward without caring about their lives!
"Go!——!!"
"kill——!!"
"Kill! Kill! Kill!——!!!"
"……"
Amid the shouts and cries of killing, the battle officially began!
Guan Yu and other defenders immediately began to deal with it with all their strength.
Liu Bei, on the other hand, had a bitter face: he looked into the distance intentionally or unintentionally, praying silently!
"God bless you!"
"I hope Xianhe’s request for help goes smoothly and Cao’s army can arrive in time!"
"Otherwise, I'm afraid we'll be in danger.……"
