On the official road, an army of horses was resting.

This army horse carries the banner of 'Liu'.

At this time, the scouts sent out had returned.

Zhang Fei said:"Brother, after passing Pingchang, further south is the Langya Kingdom."

Entering the Langya Kingdom means entering Xuzhou.

Liu Bei transferred from Youzhou to Qingzhou and was marching almost all the way.

Reinforcement is like putting out a fire. If it is delayed for one day, the war in Xuzhou will have irreversible changes.

For Liu Bei, Xuzhou may be the place where he can best display his talents.

It is simply the most suitable place for him to avoid the civil war in Youzhou between Liu Yu and Gongsun Zan and to display his talents.

Moreover, when Cao Cao's army reached Xuzhou, all the princes in the world sat back and watched. Therefore, if he arrived in Xuzhou, he would definitely be reused by Tao Qian.

Although Liu Bei currently does not have Zhuge Liang to plan for him, he has many thoughts and is willing to fight for every opportunity to become famous or to be promoted.

……

Xuzhou, Prefecture Mufu.

Tao Qian was discussing with Cao Bao and Mi Zhu how to defend Xuzhou.

Mi Zhu is a wealthy businessman in Xuzhou, and now he is Tao Qian's special agent. Tao Qian relies heavily on Mi Zhu.

Mi Zhu said:"It is said that the thieves of Zhou led their troops into Yanzhou."

Zhou Cheng is a thief!

This is the consensus of the world.

Therefore, Mi Zhu did not respect Zhou Cheng, the 'cavalry general' at all.

Tao Qian said:"Cao Mengde is also good at fighting. Although the two heroes clashed, Yuan Benchu ​​and Cao Mengde in Bingzhou were on good terms, and Yuan Gongdao was also eyeing him. Xuzhou was in danger!"

Tao Qian was able to become a prefectural shepherd at a certain level.

In his early years, Cao Cao followed Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song to fight against the Yellow Turbans, and also attacked Dong Zhuo many times, making him famous all over the world.

Tao Qian was worried that Yuan Shao would take the opportunity to send troops to attack Jizhou.

Although Zhou Cheng was good at fighting and had many of them, Zhou Cheng's army was distributed in many places.

It's not certain whether he can stop Yuan Shao.

If Jizhou is invaded by Yuan Shao, he will withdraw his troops.

And Yuan Shu may attack Xuzhou at any time now, and the crisis of occupying Xuzhou has not been temporarily resolved because Zhou Ma attacked Yanzhou.

However, it is difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without rice.

Mi Zhu didn't have any talent in the world, he was just a wealthy businessman.

Now Cao Cao is marching into Xuzhou under the banner of"avenging his father". Among all the princes in the world, except Zhou Cheng who dares to attack Cao Cao, who else dares to save Xuzhou?

……

In AD 1949, Zhou Cheng's army finally arrived in Chenliu.

Xu Fang reported:"My lord, Cao Cao has Xia Houyuan as general and 20,000 troops to guard Puyang. General Wenyuan is plundering Pubaima, Yanxian, Dunqiu, Weiguo and other counties. However, Cao Cao's army in Xuzhou has only withdrawn three Ten thousand troops are rushing to rescue."

The scouts of the Qingqi Battalion have spread all over Xuzhou, Yanzhou, Qingzhou, Youzhou and other places, and the latest information is always available and sent back to Zhou Cheng.

Li Ru said:"My lord, Cao Mengde wrote to Yuan Benchu, inviting him to send troops to attack Jizhou and force the lord to return to Jizhou."

Jia Xu said:"Cao Mengde is far superior to Yuan Benchu. If it were Yuan Benchu, he would definitely withdraw his troops at this time and return to rescue Yanzhou."

Li Ru and Jia Xu already understand Cao Cao's abilities.

At least in terms of form, Cao Cao can keep his composure and is not as timid as Yuan Shao.

Zhou Cheng said:"Ziyi and Gongming are here in Jizhou, so I am not worried."

Jia Xu said:"Yuan Benchu ​​may not dare to take the opportunity to attack the city. His counselors are also rare talents in the world. Capture the ferry, and Cao Mengde invites Yuan Jiujiu to invade Xuzhou together. Yuan Jiujiu will not miss the opportunity."

Jia Xu had an overall view, and he knew the biggest drawback of Zhou Cheng's sending troops this time.

The first is the labor expedition.

Secondly, the front was stretched too long, making it difficult to supply supplies.

Of course, Zhou Cheng has an 'advantage', that is, Zhou Cheng can loot without restraint.

Anyway, Zhou Chengdu was scolded as a 'thief'. Since he was a thief, he naturally wanted to rob, otherwise he would not have been scolded in vain.

Obtaining the food and baggage needed for this battle through plunder, and supporting the war with war, has always been Zhou Cheng's usual strategy.

Although he was constantly getting infamy for this, Zhou Cheng didn't care. Anyway, crows stained with ink can't get any darker.

"Yuan Benchu, Yuan Gongdao and others are all mediocre people."

Zhou Cheng said disdainfully.

At this time, Jia Xu said:"Master, I have a plan to help you.

Zhou Cheng asked:"The plan will be laid out.""

Jia Xu replied:"My lord Ke Ke has a letter about the strange case and handed it to Yuan Jiujiu. The letter bluntly stated that my lord has no intention of taking Yanzhou. He also said that Yuan Benchu ​​colluded with Cao Mengde to take Ji and Xuzhou together. Yuan Jiujiu has always been at odds with Yuan Benchu. , if Yuan Benchu ​​gets Bingzhou and Jizhou, Yuan Gongguo will definitely feel jealous."

The first priority is to attack the heart, and the second is to attack the city.

An excellent counselor can make the enemy afraid to move without a single soldier.

Zhou Cheng thought for a while and adopted Jia Xu's strategy.

So Zhou Cheng arranged Wen Sheng sent an envoy to Runan to contact Yuan Shu.

A few days later, Yuan Shao indeed sent troops. Yuan Shao ordered Lu Bu to send troops to Leping to attack Shiyi, and Zhang Yang to send troops to Huguan to attack Wei County. At the same time, Yuan Shao sent troops to Yan Liang and Wen Chou.

Led his army and attacked Zhou Cheng's grain road.

Marched forward in three directions, harassed Zhou Cheng's grain road, and attacked Jizhou.
