The Zhongkang mentioned by Cao Cao is his newly acquired general. His military power is not inferior to Dian Wei, and he has a stronger horse fighting ability than Dian Wei!

Since Dian Wei was defeated by Pan Feng last time, Cao Cao has increased his efforts in talent search. The emperor pays off and finally made him discover Xu Chu.

Cao Cao now has two powerful generals, Xu Chu Dianwei, so even though he knew that Liu Bei's two younger brothers were brave enough to be inappropriate, Cao Cao was not afraid.

Biqiang general was not at all lost, and Liu Bei lost a lot. In this case, how could Cao Cao be afraid of a head-on battle with Liu Bei!

At this moment, the showdown between Zhang Fei and Xu Chu was just an appetizer for the battle between Cao and Liu.

Zhang Fei finally had the opportunity to kill the enemy, so he immediately rushed out.

On the other side, Xu Chu was not a bluff at all, and went out to fight with a slight blow to the horse's belly.

One of them held a snake spear in his hand and the other was holding a big iron sword, and they immediately fought together.

At that time, there were endless gold and iron clashes in the field, and the two sides couldn't help but feel hearts raised.

Xu Chu's fighting style is somewhat similar to Zhang Fei, both of which are powerful and powerful moves. Every attack between the two of them can cause the weapons in their hands to buzz. Even the horse sitting down neighs because they are constantly under the brute force.

In front of the Xuzhou army.

Liu Bei looked at the two fighting in the field with a serious expression, and a bad premonition arose.

"Second brother, can you tell from your eyes how much chance of winning third brother is?"

Guan Yu rode a tall horse, holding the Qinglong Yanyue Sword, and narrowed his eyes to watch Zhang Fei and Xu Chu's battle.

After a long time, he sighed.

"Brother, with my eyesight, I can't tell too much, but there should be no winner within a hundred rounds!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Bei's heart gradually sank.

The biggest reliance he dared to lead his army to resist Cao Cao was the force of Zhang Fei and Guan Yu. For this reason, he did not hesitate to let Zhang Fei go up to fight the generals in front of the formation just to use force to increase his chances of victory.

It’s a pity that man’s calculations are not as good as God’s calculations. Liu Bei did not expect that Cao Cao had another powerful man who was not inferior to Dian Wei, in addition to a powerful general like Dian Wei.

In this way, Zhang Fei and Guan Yu's military power value will not be able to play the greatest role, and it is even a problem whether or not they can escape unscathed once Zhang Fei and Guan Yu are defeated by his opponent Xuzhou army.

He's reckless!

Liu Bei secretly blamed himself in his heart.

Liu Bei was proud of his success and lost his judgment when he suddenly turned into a general with tens of thousands of troops.

Fortunately, I woke up early, and the army still had the chance to escape unscathed.

Of course, the premise is to let Cao Cao know that Liu Bei is not easy to mess with!

"Do!Do!Do!"

Zhang Fei and Xu Chu on the field were still fighting hard. The two of them had some damage without realizing it, but neither of them wanted to retreat.

For Xu Chu and Zhang Fei, exhaustion or death is the reason for them to stop!

"Bang!"

The two weapons collided fiercely, and then they each set a distance apart.

"People, who are you!" Zhang Fei asked loudly, gasping for breath.

Xu Chu was also a little gasping, but he still answered in a loud voice: "I am Xu Chu, Qiao County!"

"Xu Chu, I am Zhang Fei from Yan. You have some skills. Do you dare to fight me for another 300 rounds!" Zhang Fei roared.

"Hahaha! Why don't you dare!" Xu Chu was not weak in his momentum.

Then the two rushed together again.

In this way, Zhang Fei and Xu Chu fought for more than a hundred rounds in a blink of an eye.

By this time, the power of both sides was almost exhausted. Although they were still murderous in each move, their strength had already declined significantly from the beginning.

Seeing this, Cao Cao and Liu Bei were worried that they would lose their feet, so they cried out gold to recall the two of them back to the formation.

Hearing the signal of retreat, Xu Chu and Zhang Fei had to turn their horses and return to the formation even if they were unwilling.

Zhang Fei returned to the formation and complained to Liu Bei: "Why is the big brother? I'm so happy to kill! If I give me fifty rounds, I will definitely kill Xu Chu on the horse!"

Seeing this, Liu Bei could only comfort Zhang Fei with kind words and quickly comforted him.

On the other hand, Xu Chu returned to the front and back of the formation and showed that Cao Cao could fight again, but Cao Cao didn't care about that much.

He let Xu Chu see what it means to think that if you can't fight, you can't fight.

Regardless of whether Xu Chu was willing or not, Cao Cao pulled Xu Chu with one hand and retreated behind the crowd.

"Zhongkang will rest for the time being. I don't think Liu Bei will let Zhang Fei play again. Let's see Dian Wei's next."

While Cao Cao was speaking, Dian Wei had already walked out of the army.

Sure enough, it was no longer Zhang Fei but Guan Yu who fought in the Xuzhou army opposite.

After Guan Yu and Dian Wei left the list, the two killed each other without saying much.

Guan Yu's heavy Qinglong Yanyue Sword suppressed Dian Wei's double halberd with his arrogant impact at the beginning, but as time went by, Dian Wei gradually gained a foothold under Guan Yu's attack and then began to counterattack.

Unlike Guan Yu, Dian Wei's source of power is longer and he has a more advantage in long-term battles.

The battle between Guan Yu and Dian Wei gradually changed from offensive to defensive, and until more than a hundred rounds, Guan Yu had already begun to be suppressed by Dian Wei.

Seeing this, all Cao's army was infuriated, while Liu Bei and others were ashamed of water.

Finally, after Guan Yu narrowly avoided Dian Wei's attack, Liu Bei issued an order to Mingjin.

As the signal came out, Guan Yu finally got rid of Dian Wei and returned to the front of the formation.

Seeing this, Cao Cao did not wait for Liu Bei's army to react and directly ordered the army to cover up and kill him.

At that time, tens of thousands of Cao troops rushed up like a tide, while the Xuzhou troops on the opposite side were panic and dared not fight.

In desperation, Liu Bei had no choice but to order the entire army to retreat.

In this way, the army chased the Xuzhou army and rushed to the city of Xuzhou before slowly retreating.

After the war, Liu Bei counted that the Xuzhou army suffered nearly 20 million casualties in this battle, and the remaining 20,000 were scared and their morale was completely gone.

In this battle alone, everyone in Xuzhou who had high expectations for Liu Bei were disappointed, and some people even began to explain what Liu Bei was wrong in front of Tao Qian.

In Tao Qian’s mansion.

"Mr. Tao, then Liu Xuande simply regarded war as a joke! The dignified general in the army actually asked him to send him out to fight against others."

"It's fine to fight the general, but he hasn't won yet. Even Guan Yu was exposed to his defeat, which scared everyone in Xuzhou soldiers, so that the Cao army killed a large number of soldiers with an overwhelming advantage without any effort."

"Mr. Tao, the soldiers died injustice!"

In the hall, Chen Deng knelt down and cried bitterly, as if he was really sad about the ruthless death of those generals.

Tao Qian also knew about the war outside the city at this time, but he did not know the details. Now that he heard about Liu Bei's actions, he felt angry.

"What a Liu Xuande. It's true that he is a mat and foot seller who can't get on the table. How can such a thing affecting the lives of the soldiers of the three armies be handled like this!"

"You go and inform Cao Bao that he will take over Liu Xuande in charge of the Xuzhou army, and tell him to keep the city and then call everyone else to my mansion. I have something to discuss."

"No!" Chen Deng retreated happily.

......

Soon, important figures among the civil and military officials in Jizhou gathered at Tao Qian's mansion.

"Everyone, you should also know about Liu Xuande's defeat? Now there are only more than 20,000 soldiers in the city, and Cao's army still has more than 70,000. If you can't hold on, you can still hold on for a while, but you can't last long. What should we do if we change it in this situation?" Tao Qian said helplessly.

Everyone in the field was a little afraid to speak, because from their perspective, they could only find foreign aid at this time. Xuzhou's strength alone was no longer enough to resist Cao Cao's army.

"Why don't you talk? What do I raise you for? "

"It's time to hesitate. I don't blame me if I say whatever I think of, even if I say the wrong thing!"

With Tao Qian's guarantee, the people below finally breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time someone stood up.

"Lord, I'll see you. We can only ask Han Fu or Yuan Shu for help, otherwise Xuzhou will definitely not be spared."

As soon as this person finished speaking, someone stood up to help.

"Yes, lord, my Xuzhou soldiers are powerless to make the world come true. Please ask someone to help!"

"I beg you to give an order!" Everyone asked one after another.

Seeing this, Tao Qian knew that there was no way, so he could only sigh and asked, "Since that's the case, who should we invite for foreign aid?"

As soon as the words were finished, someone put forward an opinion.

"Lord, I think Yuan Shu has a great reputation all over the world. As long as the lord asks Yuan Shu for help with literally, I believe that Yuan Shu will not risk his reputation to occupy Xuzhou. At that time, the lord only needs to give Yuan Shu some food and grass to use military funds."

This person's opinion just came up and someone came forward to object.

"Lord, no. Although Yuan Shu has become a famous family, his actions are no different from those of treacherous people. Didn't the Yangzhou Mu die at Yuan Shu's hands? The lord cannot lead a wolf into the house!"

Everyone was silent for a while after hearing this, and then Mi Zhu, who had been silent, stood up.

"Can't you invite Han Fu from Jizhou?"
