"Brother, those people are walking slowly, and the second brother will not be able to come back for a while."

Zhang Fei replied.

He also knew about Cao Ren's return to the army. However, contrary to Liu Bei's idea of ​​temporarily avoiding the edge, Zhang Fei wanted to fight Cao Ren.

So he said to Liu Bei:

"Brother, Cao Cao is still fighting with Wu Shun in Chang'an, just Cao Ren. Why bother to panic?"

"Third brother, it's not the eldest brother who is panicked. The military strength of our Xuzhou is really inferior to that of the Cao army. If we fight in Xuzhou, we can still resist the Cao army with the benefits of the city wall. If we don't have logistical support in this Yuzhou, we may not be able to compete with Cao Ren's army."

Liu Bei had a clear understanding of his own strength. Although he had obtained Xuzhou, he was not suitable to confront Cao Jun head-on.

He sent troops to Yuzhou just to express his feelings to the people of the world. Liu Bei was the descendant of King Jing of Zhongshan and was loyal to the court. It is precisely because of this that he attacked Cao Cao's rear when Cao Cao sent troops to Chang'an.

"Why should brother be more ambitious?"

Zhang Fei said unhappily.

Just Cao Ren is not enough to let Zhang Fei retreat.

"Third brother, my elder brother is so decisive, and he is also thinking about supporting the great cause of the Han Dynasty. If all the troops in Xuzhou are fighting for nothing, wouldn't you brothers need to rely on others like before? Today, only by being strong can you decide what you want to do."

When Zhang Fei opposed it, Liu Bei used his unique skills to persuade Zhang Fei.

Seeing Liu Bei’s sincerity, Xuzhou’s overall strength is indeed very different from that of Cao’s army. It can be said that Liu Bei has only begun to digest Xuzhou and has not yet reached the stage of complete control.

Zhang Fei did not want to retreat because he was completely confident in his own strength. As for the Xuzhou army, in Zhang Fei's opinion, it was really not a strong army.

"Brother, I understand. Preserving strength is the top priority now."

Zhang Fei said.

"When the Battle of Chang'an ends, the situation in the world will become clear. At that time, it will be up to us to decide whether to fight against Cao Cao. At present, Cao's army is not something that Xuzhou can compete with."

The three strongest princes set out to fight to the decisive battle, which attracted the attention of the people of the world. All forces and major families stared at it.

Cao Cao and Yuan Shao represent the interests of the aristocratic families and some poor families, while Wu Shun completely represents the common people.

In the end, whoever wins the battle between the two classes will affect the world.

"Third brother, reorganize the army and meet Xuzhou!"

"Yes, brother!"

In this way, when he learned that Cao Ren was back, Liu Bei had already made a big fuss, and then he would go to Xuzhou to laugh.

...

Jiangxia County, Jingzhou.

Zhang Yun resisted Sun Ce's attack here. If we talk about the ability of water war, he was not as good as Cai Mao. But why did he defend Jiangxia and let Cai Mao attack Yidu County?

This starts with the last time that Zhang Yun was captured alive by the Wuling Army. After being captured, Zhang Yun acted very tough.

Wu Shun didn't make things difficult for him, but just asked Liu Biao to exchange money and food for others.

After all, Zhang Yun was a general of Jingzhou. Wu Shun proposed the conditions and Liu Biao had to change it. If Wu Shun rejected Wu Shun's "good intention", then there would be no replacement for the generals of Jingzhou who were arrested in the future.

This may make the generals in Jingzhou feel heartbroken.

Of course, in Wu Shun's opinion, there is no general on Liu Biao's side that he can like except Huang Zhong and Wen Pin.

Zhang Yun is Liu Biao's nephew again, so he is definitely not suitable to persuade him to surrender. Then he can only use it for some money and food. After all, Zhang Yun does not pose much threat to Yizhou, so it doesn't matter if he put it back.

If it is a famous general and cannot be persuaded to surrender, Wu Shun will put him in house arrest in Yizhou and slowly fight. Unfortunately, Zhang Yun is not.

Because Zhang Yun was captured, Liu Biao was afraid of affecting the battle against Yidu County, so he asked Cai Mao to attack and Zhang Yun was responsible for the defense.

Zhang Yun's ability to command the siege is average, but this time the defensive battle against Sun Ce was commanded remarkable.

The little overlord of Jiangdong was directly intercepted by him in Jiangxia and could not go further. Originally, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu wanted to take advantage of the Chang'an War, and Liu Biao intended to fight for some benefits in Yizhou. Unfortunately, Zhang Yun knew the shame and then bravely responded calmly. The Jiangdong army could not step beyond the line.

Yidu County.

After Cai Mao failed to conquer the city, Dongfang Qiang found Zhao Yun and gave him two choices.

First, lead troops to defend Yidu County, and quickly support Chang'an with twenty troops.

The core of this war is in the Chang'an area. There, the Wuling Army is in a weak position, and there are two elite legions stationed here in Yidu County, which is a bit of a waste.

So Dongfang Qiang means to use an elite force to increase the strength of the Wuling Army in Chang'an.

These days, some generals from Yizhou are rushing to Chang'an to win this difficult war.

Everyone saw the stability of Yizhou and the peace and stability of the people. After knowing that the war broke out in Chang'an, the young people in Yizhou shouted that they would join the army and attack Yuan Shao and Cao Cao.

People in Yizhou went to the joints, ran around and told each other, and invited each other to join the army.

Even if the common people are like this, let alone the soldiers in the army. The Xuanwu Legion defending the Wuling Army asked for battle, and the navy soldiers also asked for battle. However, they were suppressed by Wu Shun.

Now there is no major danger in Yidu County, and Dongfangqiang has decided to support Chang'an.

"Zilong, have you thought about it?"

Dongfang Qiang looked at Zhao Yun.

"General Dongfang, our Qilin Legion is not as strong as the Suzaku Legion, so let the Qilin Legion be responsible for the defense."

Zhao Yun made the decision.

The Qilin Legion defended, and he was going to Chang'an. Zhao Yun was preparing to let Yan Yan guard it. He led Zhang Ren and supported Chang'an with the Suzaku Legion.

"Okay, since that's the case, let's set off tonight."

The soldiers were very fast, and Dongfang Qiang immediately issued an order. All the soldiers of the Suzaku Legion immediately loaded the armies and prepared to go to Chang'an.

Chang'an City is very calm now. It is not as speculated by the outside world, and there is war everywhere.

Early in the morning, Wu Shun appeared on the top of the city, and Qu Afazheng and the others followed.

"Lord, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao hasn't attacked for a few days. Could it be that he wants to run away?"

Fa Zheng is in good spirits and is still in the mood to joke at this time.

"Haha, I heard that Liu Bei was attacking Yuzhou, which helped us a lot. And that boy Sun Ce. When Liu Biao sent troops to Yidu County, he knew to send troops to Jiangxia. He just didn't know if the Jiangdong army could break through Jiangxia."

Wu Shun said. When he received the news that Liu Bei sent troops to Yuzhou, Wu Shun was happy for a long time. With Liu Bei making such a fuss behind Cao Cao, Cao's army had no intention of fighting with him.

"The rear is unstable, and the coalition's offensive needs to be suspended."

Fa Zheng smiled.

Cao Cao was uneasy, and Yuan Shao was definitely unwilling to lose his soldiers and forcibly attack the city. This won a lot of time for the Wuling Army.

"I'll go and say Cao Cao, Cao Cao falls!"

Wu Shun glanced outside the city and said in disbelief.
Chapter completed!
